Zhang Yunfan fell into unprecedented silence, and in the past half hour, he had heard what was probably the most distant story he had ever heard.

But it is not difficult to see from the short sword around his neck that the story is very believable.

But then the question hit his mind like a flood beast, all of which sounded reasonable, even if he was gone, he couldn't believe it.

It's just that there is a crucial issue here, and this issue is related to Zhang Yunfan's life and death!

Zhang Yunfan didn't think much about it, so he asked Tong Chou this question: "But what does all this have to do with me?" Or does this whole thing have a lot to do with Jade Pei, and I just inadvertently got involved? ”

In the face of Zhang Yunfan's question, Tong Chou seemed to have expected it, he did not show any impatience, but after a short silence, he came to speak.

"Of course, this matter has a lot to do with you, and you are definitely not involved because of Yu Pei!" Tong Chou was silent for a moment and then said, "Indeed, the jade pendant is a very important thing related to this ultimate, it can be said that it is the only way to open this ultimate secret, and your importance is actually not much lower than that jade pendant!" ”

Is it so important to do it yourself for a long time? Zhang Yunfan was more or less flattered, for so many years, he has rarely been so taken seriously.

"But you don't have anything to kill me? Am I, by your meaning, the necessary key to unlocking this ultimate secret? Zhang Yunfan thought about it and added, "But it sounds like all this is contradictory, you said that Xuanmen is the guardian of this ultimate secret, but why do I think you want to unlock this secret now?" ”

Tong Chou was silent, but Zhang Yunfan could feel that in the darkness, the blood in his body gradually churned.

Maybe this guy really made a killing move, and he didn't want to finish answering his own questions and kill himself in advance?

However, Zhang Yunfan's nervousness did not last long, and disappeared with Tong Chou's gradual calmdown.

"I'll answer your first question first, you are indeed important for unlocking the ultimate secret, but this is other people's thoughts, not mine, they feel that you are the key, with your participation, this matter will become calm, so whether it is Liu Yin or Feng Chen, they will be respectful to you!" Tong Chou's words changed sharply, and then said, "But I don't think so, this is an internal matter of Xuanmen after all, and it has nothing to do with you, I killed you, just to tell those naïve people that this matter is too important, and it will definitely not be as simple as they imagined." ”

Tong Chou's speed of speech became faster and faster, Zhang Yunfan's heart was half cold after listening to it, and the relationship is not a monolith inside the Xuanmen, and all kinds of disagreements and fights seem to be fucked up in the TV series!

However, there is a second question, Zhang Yunfan is even wondering if it is because of hundreds of years of waiting, the five remaining families of this Xuanmen have begun to gradually change.

After all, guarding such a so-called big secret, anyone's kindness will not be able to resist the temptation.

So in their generation, they gradually had the urge to unlock this secret.

This idea makes sense, although their family has kept this secret for thousands of years, but after all, there are times when they get tired and rebel against everything!

Zhang Yunfan was waiting for Tong Chou's answer, but the final answer was very different, and even made Zhang Yunfan a little surprised.

"Let me answer your second question!" Tong Chou said, "Xuanmen has always been the guardian of this secret, of course we will not give up this mission for other reasons, maybe you think this is a little incredible, but some people are born with such a mission, we have no way to resist, only accept the fate!"

And the ultimate secret is not solved by our intention, we prefer to let this secret continue.

But the truth is, as you just said, this secret is like a time bomb, and when the time comes, even if no one deliberately opens it, it will still detonate itself.

So now it's not that we're going to unlock it, it's that it's going to trigger itself! ”

"So what are you going to do now? Stop it? Can it be understood in this way, as soon as this ultimate secret is unlocked, the mission of the Xuanmen is completed, and you are liberated, thus losing the value of existence? Zhang Yunfan said.

Tong Chou nodded and said, "Yes and no." This kind of thing is not something we can organize, and indeed as you said, as soon as it is unraveled, the mission of Xuanmen is over, and we have no meaning of existence.

However, our purpose is not to organize its self-explosion, but to do our final mission to minimize its harm! ”

"Harm?" Zhang Yunfan was stunned, "This ...... Is there still harm? ”

Tong Chou did not answer this time, and fell into a long silence again.

Zhang Yunfan knew that Tong Chou didn't seem to want to answer him, so he chose to be silent.

Now he is even better, what is the ultimate secret?

"And what about the jade pendant?" Zhang Yunfan asked again, "What is it?" What does it do? ”

Tong Chou still didn't speak, and his body didn't even move.

This stiffness even made Zhang Yunfan feel that he was facing a dead man.

But apparently this is not the case, how can a dead man hold a sword?

Although Tong Chou didn't answer anymore, Zhang Yunfan seemed to know too much this time.

Zhang Yunfan's questions seemed to have been answered in the past half hour, except for some answers that Tong Chou didn't want to say, or didn't know, he almost smoothed everything out.

Although the last crucial question was also the use of the jade pendant, Tong Chou did not answer, but Zhang Yunfan was already a little content.

Because even if he can't know these questions from the mouth of this Tong Chou, he can also get the answers from the mouths of other people in the Xuanmen.

After a long sigh, Zhang Yunfan suddenly laughed, and said very easily: "Thank you so much for being able to say this in addition to killing me!"

Only then did Tong Chou speak: "Now I can do it?"

Zhang Yunfan smiled again, but he wasn't sure if the other party could see it in the dark.

"I'm sorry, it seems that I don't have that chance!" As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yunfan suddenly kicked the leg of the stone table, and his body skipped back violently.

In the dark, Zhang Yunfan's reaction was as fast as lightning, and the direction he omitted was the direction in which the black gold ancient knife was thrown out just now.

Zhang Yunfan took a step back and kicked his legs, then jumped back and rolled over to pick up the knife that had fallen to the ground.

At this time, Tong Chou also followed and killed, and the red short sword rushed towards Zhang Yunfan like a colorful fire dragon in the dark.

"You didn't use all your strength just now?" Tong Chou's tone was somewhat surprised!

Zhang Yunfan jumped backwards again, kicked his feet on the bluestone wall violently, and then with another force, the whole person skipped over Tong Chou's head.

"If you don't release the water, can you tell me all the things you just said?" Zhang Yunfan chuckled twice, and the person had already arrived at the door, "Thank you for the old-timers, I really benefited a lot!" ”

Tong Chou's heart was extremely surprised at this time, as early as when Zhang Yunfan just kicked the table leg and slid backwards, he had already seen that Zhang Yunfan at this time was like two people when he had just fought with him.

And the speed that Zhang Yunfan showed when he just dodged shocked him even more.

Because he had realized how much water Zhang Yunfan had just put in, Tong Chou also lost the mind to chase again.

He also knew that if Zhang Yunfan was full of horsepower, he would not be able to chase after him at all.

And that's just the difference in speed, who knows the real strength?

Zhang Yunfan smiled at Tong Chou, and just said, "Okay, don't pass it, there will be a period later!" Although some things are still half-understood, I still have a lot of thanks to the advice of my predecessors! Mr. Tong said that I am useless for that ultimate secret, so let's wait and see. ”

After that, Zhang Yunfan walked out directly......

Tong Chou held the short sword in his hand, and he was a little sluggish for a while.

At this time, behind Tong Chou, I don't know when, a white shadow suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The shadow seemed to appear out of thin air, and it became more and more obvious.

Tong Chou didn't seem to care about this, and waited for the white figure to gradually become clear before turning around.

What appeared was a young man in a white robe, who seemed to be in his early thirties, with long flowing hair like a fairy, like a figure from some ancient painting.

"Do you think he's really that legend? Isn't it too weak? "The man in white said, "He's just an ordinary person, it is estimated that only idiots like Liu Yin and Feng Chen will believe that he is the key!" ”

Tong Chou silently looked at the empty door of the cave after Zhang Yunfan left, and after a long time, he turned around, looked at the man in white and said, "Maybe!"

"Maybe what?" The man in white hurriedly asked, but Tong Chou had already walked out of the courtyard.

The corner of the man in white involuntarily showed a fox smile, and he didn't say anything, but it didn't take long for the whole person's figure to dim again, and finally disappeared directly into the darkness.

On the way back to the company from Hecun, Zhang Yunfan was recalling everything Tong Chou said.

Whether it is the twenty-two families of Xuanmen who have guarded the secrets since the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or the five new Xuanmen families who have boiled the Ming Dynasty company bankrupt in order to achieve their goals.

It all sounds like a lot of difference, but it's real.

Zhang Yunfan's thoughts have always fallen on that ultimate secret, and he, like ordinary people, has an overwhelming desire to learn about such an ultimate secret.

He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of secret is it that is worth keeping so many people waiting for thousands of years?

For these unsolved answers, Zhang Yunfan decided to go back and probe from Feng Chenkou again.

According to Tong Chou's statement, Feng Chenwu and Liu Yin all support him, maybe he asks directly, and the other party can say a thing or two.

After Zhang Yunfan returned to the company all the way, he went straight to the laboratory.

The time was close to midnight, and the air was a little cool, Zhang Yunfan parked the car and walked towards the laboratory behind him alone.

At night, the whole company is quiet, and there are a few lights in the dormitory building in the distance.

Everything seemed eerily peaceful, except for a few bird chirps, the world was simply too quiet.

Is it a little too quiet? Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but have this thought.

He walked past the company's headquarters building, and walked around the corner to see the lab.

Normally, it would be lit day and night, but today it seems to be a little different......
