For the next period of time, Xiao Ge frequently went in and out of the Zhang family's ancient building.
During that time, he even brought the Heaven Staff out again. Every time Zhang Bei wanted to follow him in, he was refused.
Zhang Bei knew that the Zhang family's ancient building needed to be hidden, so besides Xiao Ge.
No one else could know, not even a tiny bit of information.
So, Zhang Bei didn't insist and simply helped Xiao Ge out.
Zhang Bei didn't mind at all that Xiao Ge didn't tell him the reason.
They had been friends since they were young and each had their own secrets.
Some secrets couldn't be told, even to the closest of people.
As Xiao Ge went in and out of the ancient building more and more often, looking at the Zhang family's ancient building.
It no longer had that terrifying aura. It looked no different from a normal building.
At the same time, all the ancient books and materials around the ancient building disappeared without a trace.
There was no need to ask, everyone knew that Xiao Ge had put them all in the ancient building.
Many of these books were about tomb raiding.
If they were to spread into the world, it would surely create many more tomb raiding masters.
It was hard to imagine how many ancient books the Zhang family had collected over the years.
Time passed silently, and during this time, the Zhang family's old residence became increasingly dilapidated.
The weeds grew taller than the people. Neither Zhang Bei nor Xiao Ge had the time to take care of them.
It had been half a year since anyone had lived there. Many of the buildings had collapsed, turning into ruins.
It had been about half a year since Zhang Da Fo Ye left.
Xiao Ge was fourteen years old, and Zhang Bei was sixteen.
Unknowingly, they had both grown another year older. Too many things had happened in this year.
It was almost a complete change.
Zhang Bei had completely severed all ties with his family.
"That's about it, right?" One day, Zhang Bei looked at Xiao Ge, who wasn't going into the ancient building anymore, and asked.
Xiao Ge nodded but didn't say anything.
Zhang Bei knew that when the Zhang family's ancient building disappeared, it would be time for them to leave.
"Clan Leader?"
Just when they thought everything was over, a sudden arrival surprised them.
"Dong Shu? Didn't you run away? Why are you back?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhang Bei was confused.
He didn't believe that Dong Shu had a change of heart.
"It's Zhang Bei! I didn't expect you to really wait for the Clan Leader." Dong Shu said in admiration.
When he looked at Xiao Ge, his eyes were filled with a hint of embarrassment and guilt.
"Cut the crap, what are you doing here?" Zhang Bei said rudely.
Dong Shu smiled helplessly and said, "According to our information in the world of martial arts.
A piece of meteorite copper has appeared in Changsha. According to the records of the Zhang family's ancestors, that thing is one of the things we need to protect.
But that thing is too dangerous, and we don't know how to deal with it.
So we decided to come back and go into the Zhang family's ancient building to see if there is any solution."
Hearing this, Zhang Bei laughed. They didn't believe that Xiao Ge was still alive.
So they planned to enter the ancient building and look for answers? It's a pity that the Zhang family's ancient building is no longer the same as it used to be.
Zhang Bei didn't know what changes had happened inside.
"Do you think you can enter the Zhang family's ancient building? You're not qualified." Zhang Bei said disdainfully.
Dong Shu laughed bitterly and said, "We are indeed no longer qualified. Since the Clan Leader is here.
We can just let the Clan Leader solve this matter."
"Are you kidding me? You can't handle it so you come looking for Xiao Ge?" Zhang Bei said angrily.
But Xiao Ge said, "I understand."
"What? You're going to get involved?" Zhang Bei was speechless.
He had just said that, and you're taking responsibility for it?
"This isn't getting involved. This is the Clan Leader's responsibility." Dong Shu explained, knowing that Zhang Bei was angry.
Zhang Bei frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Meteorite copper is no secret in the Zhang family. But only the Clan Leader who has received the Mandate of Heaven knows what meteorite copper is actually used for.
But we can confirm that meteorite copper is a very dangerous thing. It is full of uncertain factors.
The Clan Leader of every generation has the responsibility to protect meteorite copper. It is the Clan Leader's duty."
Dong Shu could only explain it to Zhang Bei carefully.
He was now afraid of Zhang Bei. He didn't know when this guy would suddenly attack them.
"This is indeed my responsibility." Xiao Ge also said.
Zhang Bei was speechless. What was wrong with Xiao Ge?
The Zhang family was the one who was wrong to him. But when something happened, he was willing to take all the responsibility.
"How do we deal with that thing?" Zhang Bei could only ask, seeing that Xiao Ge had taken it upon himself.
Xiao Ge didn't answer directly. Instead, he waved his hand, and the Zhang family's ancient building opened again. An iron box flew out from inside.
Xiao Ge said, "Seal it and hide it in the Zhang family's ancient building."
"Is it that simple?" Zhang Bei asked doubtfully.
Xiao Ge said, "After putting the meteorite iron into the iron box, reforged it completely to seal it.
It's best if there is also Qilin Blood to seal it."
"You heard that? You go take care of this." Zhang Bei threw the box to Dong Shu.
Dong Shu's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Once you've sealed it, send the iron box to Ba Nai in Guangxi." Xiao Ge said.
Dong Shu didn't dare to object and said, "Yes!"
With the iron box in hand, Dong Shu was about to leave when Zhang Bei suddenly thought of something.
"Wait, you said that this was a rumor from the world of martial arts? Who sent the news back?" Zhang Bei asked.
Dong Shu said, "It was Zhang Qi Shan, the grandson of the former Clan Leader. He sent the news back, and we intercepted it."
"It was him? Do you know the specific details?" Zhang Bei asked.
Dong Shu nodded and didn't hide anything. He told the story.
It turned out that after Zhang Qi Shan and his family were kicked out of the Zhang family, they planned to go to Changsha to find this meteorite copper.
According to the family rules, those who were kicked out of the Zhang family could return to the Zhang family if they made a great contribution to the family.
However, Zhang Qi Shan's father was killed by the Japanese when they left.
Zhang Qi Shan had to carry out his father's will, go to Changsha to find the meteorite copper, and protect it.
Fortunately, this Zhang Qi Shan had some skills and actually found the meteorite copper.
But there were also many people who coveted this meteorite copper.
According to the information they knew, there was a godfather from the United States, and the Japanese were also interested in this thing.
Apart from that, there were also some rats hiding in the shadows, but they were too well hidden, and they didn't know who they were.
Finally, there was Zhang Qi Shan's opponent in the officialdom. This person took advantage of Zhang Qi Shan's illness before.
He took away Zhang Qi Shan's military power and now controls most of the army in Changsha.
According to intelligence, the meteorite copper is in this person's hands.
"Humph! What a good plan." Zhang Bei said disdainfully as soon as he heard this.
Dong Shu asked in confusion, "What plan?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Qi Shan deliberately sent the message to us.
The purpose is to have us kill his opponent."
Although Zhang Bei was lazy about thinking, he could figure out the cause and effect as long as he thought about it a little.
Zhang Qi Shan just left the old house. Now he's extending his hand here.
It seems that this guy has completely forgotten what he promised Xiao Ge before.
"We know what you're saying, but this matter of the meteorite copper is very important.
And he was able to find the meteorite copper, which is a great feat. It's only natural for us to help him out.
Dong Shu and the others were all smart people. They naturally knew the ins and outs.
But they were still willing to owe Zhang Qi Shan a favor.
"Hehe! What a good son of the Zhang family. He's pushing his own Clan Leader to his death.
But he's willing to lick the ass of an outsider."
Zhang Bei couldn't help but sneer.
Dong Shu just felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything.
"By the way, you said that the Japanese are also interested in this thing?" Zhang Bei suddenly asked.
Dong Shu nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that these Japanese are also being ordered by someone behind the scenes.
It's highly likely that they attacked Changsha because of this meteorite copper."
"You're overestimating this meteorite copper, aren't you?" Zhang Bei didn't believe this.
War is no child's play. Who would attack a place for a meteorite copper?
"This is our analysis based on various intelligence and speculation." Dong Shu explained.
Zhang Bei nodded and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Meteorite copper is something that the Zhang family has guarded for generations. It doesn't belong to anyone.
Since they dare to covet the Zhang family's things, then they are asking for death."
Dong Shu said proudly.
Zhang Bei didn't expect Dong Shu to be so tough on the outside.
"Okay! I'll go with you!" Zhang Bei thought for a moment and said.
Dong Shu was a little embarrassed. He really didn't want to walk with Zhang Bei.
Especially someone who was powerful but uncontrollable.
"Xiao Ge, you wait for me here. I'll be back in half a month at most." Zhang Bei said.
Xiao Ge nodded and said, "Okay!"
Zhang Bei knew that hiding the Zhang family's ancient building required secrecy.
He would just make Xiao Ge uncomfortable if he stayed here. It would be better for him to leave for a while.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Ge, Zhang Bei left with Dong Shu.
