Chapter 49 Zhang Qiling 48
Even gods die one day, but the day of natural death is extremely long.
To humans, they are immortal beings; to the gods, they are merely beings whose higher cultivation level allows them to live longer.
Zhang Qiling: "This is the core of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace."
To refine elixirs, the best location is required, which is within the dragon vein of this area.
"How much longer?" Xi En peeked out from the doorway. "They're still not here..."
Qingyue glanced at the Seven Star Plate on the table, on which were half-finished Corpse Beetle Pills.
He narrowed his eyes. It was placed there to entice people to take it and activate the mechanism.
The person hasn't arrived yet, which is perfect time for her to set up the formation.
Qingyue slammed her hand on the ground, and a huge array spread out, with circles of light on the ground expanding until they completely enveloped the entire space.
With a wave of her hand, the golden array disappeared, becoming invisible to ordinary people.
Once we leave the Queen Mother of the West's palace, we can blow it up immediately.
Zhang Qiling was relieved that they had come down first; otherwise, his wife would have been exposed. Wu Xie also didn't know this would cause damage. If he had known that cultural relics were being destroyed, he would have been anxious, since he had always intended to hand them over to the state...
"Sister Qing, the blind man is here!"
Black Glasses and the others appeared at the door.
Xi En hissed in disdain, "It's really slow."
"That's fast enough." Black Glasses scooped up Xi En from the doorway and placed her on his head.
"Wow, this is where the Queen Mother of the West refines elixirs!" Black Glasses clicked his tongue as he scanned the surroundings.
Qingyue walked to the door: "Let's go now that everyone's here, there's no way out here."
If it weren't for Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie being afraid he would trigger the mechanisms here, they would have already moved on to the next step.
He truly understood Wu Xie, knowing that Wu Xie would stop and talk at length when he saw this place.
A group of people searched around inside but couldn't find a way out; only the Seven Star Compass seemed rather strange.
The crowd followed behind them and walked forward.
Fatty Wang observed the pitch-black road and said, "This is all mud and rocks; there's no road at all."
Xie Yuchen took out a shovel: "It should be filled with mud. Let's tap it and see where the sound is off."
A clanging sound rang out.
Suddenly, a chaotic and extremely jarring knocking sound filled the tunnel.
The ears were poisoned by tea.
Xie Yuchen tapped a muffled sound and gestured to the location: "This."
Black-eyed Fatty Wang Wuxie stepped forward and chiseled it open.
Before long, a small hole was opened, and then it was pushed open with force, and a hole the size of a door appeared in front of people's eyes.
A group of people went inside and came to a small room that looked just like the fake royal palace.
The table inside was filled with bone torture instruments; all the sharp weapons were made of bone.
With a "clunk".
"Sigh." Wu Xie stared in shock at a broken stone at his feet.
The next second, everyone heard the sound of the stone gate descending.
"go!"
The group rushed towards the gate, but it was already closed when they arrived.
For a moment, everyone looked at Wu Xie without saying a word.
Wu Xie stared awkwardly at his fingers; he hadn't expected his luck to be so good!
Black Glasses laughed. He thought he was unlucky enough, but compared to Little Third Master, he was nothing!
He took out a lighter and lit it: "It's alright, there's enough oxygen."
Fatty Wang looked at the murals on the wall: "There are also the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou here."
Xie Yuchen looked over and said, "He's in the fake palace and he's in the real palace. What do you think King Mu of Zhou did to the Queen Mother of the West that made her use him so much?"
"Feelings," Black Glasses chuckled.
"emotion?"
Xie Yuchen scoffed. How could someone like the Queen Mother of the West be moved by love?
"There are indeed records of a relationship between the two of them, but how credible do you think this story is?"
Black Glasses: "Seeing is believing. Judging from the Queen Mother of the West's reluctant expression, she must have been truly moved."
"In the mural of the fake palace, the Queen Mother of the West looks back every few steps, she must have been looking forward to reuniting with King Mu of Zhou."
Hearing their conversation, Qingyue shone her flashlight on the face of the Queen Mother of the West.
How did they discern the Queen Mother of the West's facial expressions and movements?
Why did she only see a look of disdain? Is it because the artist's skills are lacking, or is it because their understanding is perfect?
Wu Xie replied, "The eight steeds can travel 30,000 li a day. King Mu, why don't you come back?"
Black Glasses: "It's a pity, King Mu of Zhou never came back."
Xie Yuchen's flashlight swept onto the huge object next to the Queen Mother of the West.
"Forget about the legends for now, this is the key thing, which is what we're ultimately looking for."
Chen Wenjin followed the flashlight's beam and saw that it was exactly what she was looking for!
“These are all dissection tools,” Zhang Qiling said, looking at the tools on the table.
Black Glasses picked up a small knife and held it in front of Xie Yuchen: "I know this, but please don't ask me how I know."
Xie Yuchen rolled her eyes at him, genuinely not wanting to talk to him.
Black Glasses watched the person leave, then followed after them, his mouth agape, as if pleading for money.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you."
Xie Yuchen didn't even glance at him, and continued to check for any other mechanisms.
The man with the black glasses said to himself, "This is called a scalpel. How do I know that? Well, back in the day, I studied anatomy in Germany and even got a degree."
Xie Yuchen glanced at him impatiently.
Black Glasses immediately shut up and dejectedly put the scalpel back on the table.
Qingyue gave Xie Yuchen a thumbs up. Only Xie Yuchen could control Hei Yanjing, and Hei Yanjing would only listen to Xie Yuchen.
"Wow, they had something like formaldehyde in ancient times?"
Fatty Wang stared wide-eyed at the animal carcass running on the table; it wasn't shriveled yet and looked quite fresh.
Wu Xie explained: "In the past, before the advent of science, ancient people were quite intelligent and would try every means to create anything. We in modern times have simply simplified those things and developed a higher level of calculation."
"These are all crystals." Fatty Wang licked his lips and rubbed his palms together.
Wu Xie slapped his hand: "Don't mess around, these are all cultural relics."
"I'll just take a look." Fatty Wang withdrew his hand.
Qingyue and Xi'en kept staring at the wall: "Is this supposed to be a replica of Nuwa?"
Nuwa's prototype was a human head and a snake's body.
The walls are covered with images of people with human heads and snake bodies, people with human heads and bird bodies, and even people with human heads and centipede bodies.
Black Glasses exclaimed, "The Queen Mother of the West! In such harsh conditions in ancient times, she actually did grafting. That's incredibly extreme!"
Xie Yuchen: "Dragons, birds, insects, snakes, these are all spiritual animals. In Neolithic cultural sites, archaeologists have discovered a large number of jade sculptures depicting humans and animals in symbiosis, just like the ones in this mural."
"Moreover, in Liezi and Taiping Yulan, Fuxi and Nuwa are depicted as having human faces and snake bodies, and they live to be at least a hundred years old and at most a thousand years old. This is Fuxi's secret to longevity."
