Could this be the secret of the twelve golden men?

Hearing Dong Hai's words, I was stunned on the spot, and my mind went blank. Even Zhang Zi Kong didn't expect it at all. He frowned as he started to look at the golden cross in Dong Hai's hands.

I remember the first time I saw Qiong Qi was when we had just entered the outer Mongolia territory. At that time, we had entered a small town, and we later found out that that small town was used to imprison the ghoul lord. The first time we met Qiongqi, he had gone into the room to imprison him because of the greed of the skinny little monkey who was with us. The first time we saw the cross that was used to imprison Qiong Qi, we thought of it as a kind of magic tool and never thought of it in this way!

Now that he thought about it, those monks who came all the way from the heavens were obviously here for impure purposes!

And if I guessed correctly, it was a gang of foreign bandits, and one who was after the secret of the Golden Man of the Holy Mountain!

Although they had successfully brought the secrets of the Golden Man out of the Sacred Mountain, they encountered an accident on their way back. This was most likely related to that Qiong Qi! However, after so many years and without any relevant evidence, it is already impossible for me to prove my thoughts.

However, from the looks of the golden cross, it seemed that Qiong Qi had been imprisoned in that canyon from the very beginning, acting as the guardian of the Golden Man's secret.

Genghis Khan had conquered almost all of Europe, and the cross he had used to imprison Qiongqi was probably the work of an exotic spell he had obtained from Western Europe. Moreover, with this strange beast around, ordinary tomb robbers wouldn't be able to pry into the secrets of the Golden Man.

However, that group of tomb robbers probably knew the secret method of the cross. Moreover, from the fact that they could actually enter the Sacred Mountain, they were definitely not ordinary people. It was not impossible to take the golden cross and then use the Wealthy Qi to suppress the ghoul lord.

When I thought of this, I saw Zhang Zikong's expression begin to turn ugly.

In the past, he never had such an ugly expression on his face. Even if the danger was too great and he was seriously injured, he had never had such an expression before!

But this time... From Zhang Zikong's expression, one could already guess that what Dong Hai said was most likely true!

”Nephew Zhang, don't look at me with such a gaze. If it wasn't for your father's reluctance to touch this secret, he wouldn't have died so early! ”

Hearing Dong Hai's words, Zhang Zi Kong's face instantly darkened, and the veins on his face were popping out one by one. Although his expression didn't look out of place, his eyes were filled with resentment!

”Have you ever thought about why those twelve protectors of the Golden Man had such a good opportunity but didn't think about using their entire set of skills alone?”

Zhang Zi Kong's words not only piqued our interest, but also Dong Hai's interest.

After hearing his words, Dong Hai acted like it didn't matter, ”Oh? Does nephew know the reason behind this? I would like to hear more about it! ”

Hearing that, Zhang Zi Kong laughed, and continued: ”It's not that they do not wish to learn these twelve mystical methods, but that one person can only learn one, and that person will be punished by the heavens if he learns more!”
