"I tried many ways to enter the hall, but none of them worked. The hall seemed to be locked in a strange way and it was impossible to enter." He shook his head helplessly.

"I was delayed there for a long time and got injured, so I had to turn back," he continued.

After saying these words, Zhang Qilin suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao noticed Zhang Qilin's strange look and felt that he seemed to have something else to say.

"You taciturn guy...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Can I help with this matter?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.

Zhang Qilin sighed, pondered for a moment, and finally expressed his thoughts: "Zhang Hao, I was thinking, if we rely on your ability, plus Hao Xie's Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique, maybe we have a chance to enter that hall."

"If we can enter the hall, we can take a look and see what's so strange inside." He was full of anticipation.

"Other than that, I can't think of any other way to get in. That kind of power is so special that even my Qilin tattoo has no effect. I've tried it." He said helplessly.

Zhang Hao felt a little more at ease after hearing what Zhang Qilin said.

"Wait... let me think about it. All these things you guys are talking about make my head so confused." He rubbed his temple.

"I need to think carefully about what I should do." Zhang Hao frowned and carefully recalled what Zhang Qilin had just said.

After learning that Zhang Qilin was not the night-wandering god of the underworld, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon wanted to take back the jade pendant and return to report to the King of Hell.

"Since you are not the night-wandering god of the underworld, could you please return the jade pendant to us? Let us take the jade pendant back and report to the King of Hell in the underworld," they pleaded.

"This matter is extremely serious. If something really happens to the Night Wandering God, it will be extremely terrible for the entire underworld." They looked serious.

"Let's go back and investigate thoroughly to find out what's going on." They were determined to get to the bottom of it.

However, when Zhang Qilin heard that the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons wanted to take the jade pendant away, he immediately expressed his attitude: "No, you cannot take the jade pendant back for the time being. As for whether to report it to the Lord of Hell, you decide for yourself."

"Since the Night Wanderer left the jade pendant here, he may have met with an accident. The jade pendant may be useful to us if it is left here," he said firmly.

"So, I can't agree to let you take the jade pendant back now. I hope you can understand. Let's discuss it again after this matter has a result!" He was full of determination.

Zhang Qilin had his own thoughts on this matter. He felt it was very strange and had a bad feeling in his heart. He wanted to get to the bottom of this matter thoroughly.

In order to figure it all out and to be more confident in dealing with possible future situations, Zhang Hao came up with an idea. Since he wanted to enter the cave, he wanted the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon to go down with them and take a look.

If they encounter some evil things, they should be able to solve them easily with the strength of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

So Zhang Hao walked up to the Ox-Head and Horse-Face to ask for their opinions.

"Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon, don't go back to report to King Yama for the time being. Follow us into the cave. Let's investigate this matter. Maybe you can help and solve many of our difficulties." He said sincerely.

"Those evil things will not pose any threat to you, so it will be easier for you to deal with them," he added.

After hearing Zhang Hao's request, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards agreed without hesitation: "Sir, we will follow your instructions. This matter is of great importance. Let's go check it out together to see if we can find any clues."

"I hope the Night Wanderer won't be in danger and this is all just a misunderstanding." They prayed silently in their hearts.

"Otherwise it will bring about great turmoil. It's better this way. After figuring out everything, it won't be too late to report to King Yan." They reached a consensus.

At this moment, Zhang Hao discovered that Hao Xie and Wang Pangzi had not returned yet, so he walked forward to look for the two, hoping that they would return to the team as soon as possible and act according to the plan.

"Hao Xie... come here quickly!" he shouted loudly.

After hearing Zhang Hao's call, Hao Xie and Fatty Wang hurried over.

"Zhang Hao...what happened? Why are you calling us here so urgently? Do you have a new action plan?" Hao Xie asked curiously.

Zhang Hao nodded. "We are going to enter the cave and investigate. Zhang Qilin said there are palaces inside and they also found the jade pendant of the Night Wandering God of the Underworld. We are worried that the Night Wandering God of the Underworld might be in danger."

"We want to find out the situation and may need your help." He explained the reason to Hao Xie.

Hao Xie didn't say much after hearing this, and everyone started to prepare. One by one, they entered the cave entrance. When everyone went in, the situation inside was just as Zhang Qilin said, there was a huge space.

Hao Xie looked up and observed for a long time, muttering to himself: "This space is so big! And it looks like a huge project. Look at the ground, it's all paved with bluestone."

"This is at least over a hundred square meters! It's hard to imagine. You'll be shocked only when you see it with your own eyes," he exclaimed.

Zhang Hao was shocked. He never expected that right in front of this magnificent square, there would stand an ancient building that seemed out of place.

The building exudes a gray atmosphere, which makes people feel inexplicably depressed.

Zhang Hao was curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

At this time, Zhang Qilin was walking at the front of the team, followed closely by Zhang Hao and Hao Xie, both of whom remained highly vigilant.

Although they are numerous, no one dares to be careless in this unknown environment.

The Ox-Headed Demon and the Horse-Faced Demon walked on the left and right sides of the team respectively, always ready to deal with possible emergencies.

Zhang Hao looked around. This huge space seemed to have no end. He couldn't help but wonder when he could reach the place that Zhang Qilin mentioned.

"Men Youping, where exactly is the place you are talking about?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask.

"Why haven't we seen it yet? How long do we have to walk?" There was a hint of impatience in his words.

Zhang Qilin pointed ahead and said in a deep voice, "It's almost there, right in front, just follow me."

Under the leadership of Zhang Qilin, the group finally arrived at the door of the hall after many twists and turns.

Zhang Qilin stopped and solemnly reminded everyone: "This is it. Everyone, be careful. There is a very strange power here. Don't act rashly, so as not to hurt yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately put away his restlessness and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

His gaze finally fell on a huge compass above the main entrance of the hall. The compass was slowly rotating, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

Zhang Hao was confused for a moment, he turned to look at Hao Xie, seeking help: "Hao Xie, take a look at the huge compass above the main entrance of the hall, do you have any impression of it?" Hao Xie looked in the direction Zhang Hao pointed and recognized the compass at a glance. A look of surprise appeared on his face, he pointed at the compass and said loudly: "Isn't that a kind of mechanical trick that appeared in the late Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Hao perked up when he heard this. He asked happily, "Do you really know him?"

Hao Xie nodded and began to explain to everyone: "This mechanical trick from the late Tang Dynasty has a very nice name, called Qiankun Plate!"

"Qian Kun Plate? How come I've never heard of it?" Zhang Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face. He admired and envied Hao Xie for always being able to figure out these strange things.

Hao Xie stood there and began to carefully analyze the Qiankun Plate from the late Tang Dynasty. He explained in detail the origin and function of the Qiankun Plate, as well as many things that they had never understood before.

Hao Xie’s explanation was clear and concise, which convinced everyone.

Zhang Hao kept everything Hao Xie said in mind, as he knew that this information might come in handy in the future.

"Okay, thank you for explaining this to everyone. At least now we know what this is." Zhang Hao said gratefully.

"Yeah, the name is really nice." He agreed casually.

However, Zhang Hao was not satisfied with this. He continued to ask seriously: "But, I want to know more than that. What else do you know about its function? Speak of the key points. Don't talk about irrelevant things at the critical moment."

Hao Xie was stunned when he heard this, because he didn't know much about the Qiankun Plate.

"Then what else do you want to know about it?" Hao Xie's words seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Zhang Hao answered without hesitation: "I want to know a lot, but the most important thing now is, I want to know if there is any way to crack this Qiankun disk."

Hearing this, the only trace of smile on Hao Xie's face slowly disappeared. The thing he was worried about finally happened, and it happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

Zhang Hao noticed the change in Hao Xie's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Hao Xie smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying helplessly: "Your question is really beyond my ability."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hao's face was suddenly filled with disappointment.

Hao Xie sighed and explained, "The manufacturing principle of the Qiankun Plate is very complicated."

"Don't keep us in suspense. Just tell me." Zhang Hao's tone sounded a little impatient.

Seeing this, Hao Xie did not dare to delay any longer and quickly continued, "The Qiankun Plate is based on the sixty-four hexagrams of Yin-Yang Feng Shui, and is made of all the hexagrams. The knowledge involved is extremely complicated and the scope is also extremely vast."

Having said this, Hao Xie paused, as if considering his next words.

Zhang Hao waited for a long time, and when he saw that Hao Xie did not continue to explain, he turned his head and looked at him. His eyes were cold and sharp, and he kept staring at Hao Xie.

Hao Xie was a little scared by Zhang Hao's eyes. He quickly said, "Don't look at me like that. I also want to open the Qiankun Plate, but this is completely beyond my ability. I really have no way to open it."

Zhang Hao pressed on, "Is there really no other way? Think about it again."

Hao Xie shook his head and said firmly: "No need, I can't think of any solution even if I rack my brains."

Hearing Hao Xie say this, Zhang Hao's face became even gloomier. He originally still had a glimmer of hope for Hao Xie, but now it seems that hope has been completely shattered.

"Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon, do you have any solution?" Seeing this, Hao Xie quickly turned around and asked the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon.

The Ox-Headed Horse-Faced Demon shook his head and said helplessly, "We have no way to open the Qiankun Plate either."

"What should we do? We can't just keep wasting time like this!" Zhang Hao was really disappointed. So many people got together, but they couldn't come up with a useful solution.

"Then what should we do?" Hao Xie said, turning his gaze to Zhang Hao again.

Zhang Hao had a dark face at the moment, with one hand supporting his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Hao Xie looked at Zhang Hao and felt reluctant to disturb him.

He swallowed the question he wanted to ask and said to himself, "Forget it! Let's not disturb him. Let him think about it carefully. Maybe there will be a solution."

At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly spoke up: "Don't be discouraged, let's find a solution together."

Upon hearing this, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon nodded and said, "Yes, let's work together to find a solution."

Although Zhang Hao said this, he felt indescribably bitter in his heart.

Hao Xie could naturally feel the distress in Zhang Hao's heart, but he couldn't help anyone and could only sigh helplessly.

However, at this moment, the huge square suddenly changed.

For some unknown reason, the bluestone tiles under people's feet began to arrange themselves into groups spontaneously.

The scene looked both spectacular and terrifying, and everyone in the square fell into panic.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic, and people fled in panic.

Hao Xie and Zhang Hao were also frightened by what was happening before their eyes, and their faces were filled with fear.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Hao Xie asked in horror.

"Why did the bluestone floor tiles start to move?" Zhang Hao also looked at the scene in front of him with a confused look on his face.

They both looked at Zhang Qilin, who was still calm, as if seeking answers. Zhang Hao's eyes revealed a hint of panic and uneasiness.

Seeing the panic in the two men's faces, the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Guard quickly explained, "It seems that something has changed down there. The yin and yang auras are rapidly reversing and becoming chaotic. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise we will all be in danger."

Zhang Hao was immediately anxious when he heard that he had to leave. He had finally come to this place, and he was unwilling to leave like this.

"Why?" Zhang Hao asked unwillingly. (End of this chapter)
