Chapter 351 The Mission of the Zhang Family
"Ah Xiang is still here, aren't you ashamed!"
Seeing Huo Ling's undisguised enthusiasm, Chen Wenjin sighed helplessly.
Huo Ling didn't argue, but just smiled and left Cheng Feng's embrace. Even though they were both in their forties...
But in front of Cheng Feng, she was still that carefree young woman in her early twenties.
"Alright, let's eat something to replenish our energy, then it's time to leave."
Upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, the group that had just undergone enhancement also felt their stomachs protesting.
After Cheng Feng retrieved portable fuel from the imaginary space, the group worked together to start a fire.
Before long, the aroma of top-quality steak began to fill this ancient city.
Cheng Feng and his group were manual laborers, so they mainly used meat when preparing ingredients. While beef didn't have as much protein as insects,
But it's perfect as food to fill your stomach and replenish what you've consumed.
Finally, Hei Xiazi, who had studied in Germany, personally cooked, and everyone grabbed their tomahawk steaks and started eating.
This large tomahawk steak is definitely too much for four women to finish under normal circumstances.
But now they all turned into gluttons, not only eating all the steaks clean, but also saying they were still not full.
Cheng Feng couldn't bear to watch Black Bear work so hard for so long without eating a single bite.
He stepped forward and took over his job, starting to cook steak for his woman.
After a hearty meal, the three smokers gathered together, puffing away, as the saying goes, "a cigarette after a meal is better than being a god."
"Cheng Feng, how much do you know about the Zhang family?"
Zhang Qiling looked at Cheng Feng beside him through the thin smoke and spoke.
Hei Xiazi also looked over at this moment, showing great interest in the mysterious Zhang family.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. The sense of mission ingrained in your Zhang family will always urge you to unravel this mystery."
As Cheng Feng spoke, he exhaled a smoke ring, watching it gradually disappear into the distance until it finally dissipated in the air.
"A sense of mission?"
Black Bear readily played the straight man.
Cheng Feng nodded and continued:
"Old Zhang is the most unique member of the Zhang family this generation. He has experienced more than one so-called divine gift, and it is because of this divine gift that he often suffers from amnesia."
During this time, he might forget some things, but the Zhang family's mission would be imprinted even more clearly in the depths of his heart.
While Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi were processing the information Cheng Feng had revealed, Cheng Feng's deep gaze was fixed on Zhang Qiling's face.
"From the very beginning, the Zhang family has been used as the most useful tool by some people."
This is the price to pay for living longer and having a stronger body than the average person.
Zhang Qiling's eyes were blank. He didn't react when the cigarette butt burned his fingers until it went out completely.
"Back then, the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou made a thousand-year pact, leaving behind the secret of the Zhang family guarding the bronze gate."
In addition to this, the Zhang family has another mission: to reach the year when the Queen Mother of the West is resurrected.
The Zhang family also needs to transport the body of the Queen Mother of the West from Tamutuo to Changbai Mountain.
Only behind the bronze gate can she truly be resurrected and finally live happily ever after with King Mu of Zhou, who also enjoys immortality.
Cheng Feng couldn't help but chuckle as he said this. Man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that the famous King Mu of Zhou would eventually be dug out of his jade burial suit?
They even put them on guard duty at the entrance of the tomb.
"I have no memory of that."
Zhang Qiling came to his senses and said softly.
"Therefore, the role of divine mandate is manifested, and that inexplicable sense of mission will drive you to fulfill the promise that spans thousands of years."
Cheng Feng tossed the cigarette butt into the imaginary space, and then seamlessly lit another cigarette.
Black Bear listened with great interest and unceremoniously snatched the cigarette case and lighter from Cheng Feng's hand, lighting one for himself as well.
"I can't accept that the reason I can hear thunder is also related to divine intervention?"
Zhang Qiling smoothly pulled cigarettes and a lighter from Hei Xiazi's pocket, lit one for himself, and asked a question.
Hei Xiazi watched helplessly as Zhang Qiling stuffed the cigarette and lighter into his pocket, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Pretty much. Those two worms inside your body are very likely to mutate during the Thunder Listening Enhancement process."
You might not be yourself by then.
Cheng Feng's words startled Zhang Qiling, showing how much they had impacted him.
Black Bear looked at Zhang Qiling with a puzzled expression, wondering what kind of insect Cheng Feng was talking about.
"Boss, what kind of insect is so powerful? Dumb Zhang's blood is the absolute nemesis of insects!"
"This matter is a core secret of the Zhang family. It's not a good thing for you to know about it."
Cheng Feng didn't overstep his bounds. Hei Xiazi could find out whatever he wanted to know. As long as he could get Zhang Qiling to talk, it wouldn't be a problem for him to know anything.
After resting for a while, everyone started their journey home.
Compared to the way there, the return journey was much easier for everyone.
Everyone present was physically strong, and even difficult paths were like flat ground under their feet.
After spending some time returning to the Thunder Tower, Cheng Feng first used his wind-riding ability to fly to the top.
Then they used ropes to bring everyone down to the ground one by one.
It was early morning outside, and a light mist shrouded the vibrant woods.
However, the three-legged toad's toxicity was no longer present in the fog at this point, so it lost its ability to cause brain death.
“Every time I come out from underground, I feel like I’ve been through another world.”
Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, Huo Ling stretched and sighed.
"Stop lamenting, let's take advantage of the good weather and leave here quickly."
This area experiences frequent thunderstorms; it could start raining or thundering at any time.
So the group quickened their pace, hurrying through the jungle towards the cave they had come from.
Meanwhile, far away in Changsha, the young master of the Wu family was sitting in his study, half-asleep.
Fresh out of university, he was thrown into the family's antique shop by his irresponsible father, and from that day on, he never had a good night's sleep.
Wu Yiqiong, as the eldest brother of the second generation of the Wu family, did not show any outstanding qualities.
Compared to Wu Erbai's shrewdness and Wu Sansheng's cleverness and cunning, he could only be described as an ordinary worker.
When Wu Xie was very young, Wu Yiqiong ran away from home and went to a godforsaken place to explore geology.
Although I would go home during that time, we didn't spend much time together on weekdays.
It can be said that Wu Xie was raised by his grandfather Wu Laogou and his third uncle Wu Sansheng.
At the same time, because of the influence of these two people, the seed of a tomb raider was silently planted in Wu Xie's heart.
“Nephew, what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go to work.”
Wu Sansheng's voice rang out from outside the study. Stepping through the open door, Wu Xie's slightly weathered face came into view.
Wu Xie had observed Wu Sansheng's changes over the years and learned from various details that the Aunt Wenjin from his memories had married someone else.
This caused his third uncle a great deal of distress, and he was heartbroken at home for a long time.
"Third Uncle, why don't you take my shift for a day? I need a day off!"
"Take a vacation my ass, go to work obediently. In a couple of days, your third uncle will take you out to the countryside to collect goods and broaden your horizons."
Wu Sansheng's words made Wu Xie's eyes light up; he was very interested in this matter.
"Really? Where are we going? I heard the job market is good in Shanxi."
"It's no trouble to tell you. This time we're going to Qinghai, which isn't far from the Kunlun Mountains. There will be a lot of good things there."
Wu Sansheng's face showed a faint smile, but Wu Xie clearly saw a hint of bitterness in that smile.
