V4C136 – The Shape of the Key Looks Quite Like… (Unedited) (1/2)
One second, two seconds, three…… ten seconds… A minute passed but the stone gate didn’t show slightest of movements. It was as if the key I inserted in it didn’t even exist for the gate!
After a quarter of an hour had passed, I finally lost my patience. I reached out and pulled onto the iron ring on the door. It was the same as before, an energy entered my body!
It seems that this “key” was a failure. I took it with frustration and shook my head towards Wu YingYing.
“Oh, the result is actually under our expectations!” Wu YingYing comforted me and said, “If it was so easy and simple to open this door, why would someone even bother with it?”
I nodded. What Wu YingYing said was true, from the perspective of the defensive performance of the stone gate, it seemed impossible for it to be opened so easily! But the question now was whether the key wasn’t correctly made, or was it just that this groove wasn’t even a keyhole? Could we be going in the wrong direction?
Relatively speaking, the first reason seemed more likely! After all, it was possible that the material of the real key was something special, and since the door was so smart, it wouldn’t be easy to fool it with a fake key!
The iron key I have was obviously fake and shoddy, so it was natural that the door wouldn’t open!
Understanding this, though I was disappointed, but at least I tried and won’t have any regret!
As for why that person from the Qing Dynasty {TL: The guy who’s skeleton Liu Zhenhai and Liu Lei found in the cave.} didn’t die, it might be that he was a martial arts master, and had a physique that was much stronger than the average man!
“Forget it, we tried hard. We won’t have any regrets later, at least!” I said helplessly, deciding to leave the matter behind me.
“You don’t need to be disappointed like this and lose heart! Although the scientific level of the past was inferior to the present, the minds of people were not inferior in any way. Maybe, what we did was something the military also tried but failed!” Wu YingYing said with a smile.
I knew that what Wu YingYing said was right. Perhaps, this method was also thought up by the people before but they didn’t succeed! Thinking till here, I said, “That’s true, we are also helpless over this matter now! As for finding the genuine key for this stone gate, I estimate that that would be impossible! Who knows that thing might not even be on Earth anymore!”
“What you say is true, but who knows, maybe we might find a way in the future!” Wu YingYing smiled sweetly and said, “Give me the fake key!”
“What are you going to do with this?” I handed the key to Wu YingYing, “I was just going to throw it away!”
“Oh, I just think that this thing looks pretty good, and you can wear it as a ring!” Wu YingYing said, putting the iron key around her finger, “But, don’t think this will be all, you have to give me a wedding ring still!”
“What! Ring!” I suddenly thought of something but couldn’t verify my thought!
Wu YingYing obviously didn’t understand my words and thought that I didn’t want to buy her a ring, “It doesn’t need to be anything rare! I will cherish it even if it’s ordinary!”
“Ah?” After I listened to Wu YingYing’s words, I was startled and said, “YingYing, that’s not what I meant!” I held Wu YingYing and kissed her face, “Thank you! You are my lucky star! Giving me inspiration and every moment!”
This time, it was Wu YingYing’s turn to look at me strangely and ask, “What do you mean? What did I say? How did I give you inspiration?”
“That’s true, YingYing!” I finally had a flash of enlightenment! I remembered the British Collector, Steven’s words! A ring and a map were offered to Empress Cixi together. The map was already in my hand, so what about the ring? Wouldn’t it be possible that it was the key of this stone gate?
“YingYing, you listen to me. I will explain it to you slowly!” Therefore, I talked to Wu YingYing about Meng QingQing and that ring I got for her.
