Immortality is one of the oldest and most common dreams of mankind. From ancient times to the present, countless people have been striving to find the secret of immortality.
The Zhang family mastered this secret, so the Zhang family ancient building and bronze door they built have fascinated countless people.
No one can resist the temptation of immortality.
Ji Huaichuan and Zhang Qiling stepped onto the seventh floor of the ancient building. No one knew what was on the seventh floor, and they didn't even know that there was a seventh floor in the ancient building.
The seventh floor of the ancient building has a more fragrant smell than the previous floors, which is literally the meaning.
There were countless tablets surrounding the altar. In the smoke, one could see a shelf in the middle of the altar. On the shelf was an object wrapped in iron sheets, and a layer of black mist was floating around the object.
"It seems to have hidden itself inside that iron lump. Your ancestors were really capable of causing trouble." Ji Huaichuan approached the iron block and poked it with his bone fan. "This thing can bring people back to life? How can that old immortal believe anything after living for so long?"
Zhang Qiling nodded and agreed with him.
Ji Huaichuan raised his eyebrows and ruffled Zhang Qiling's hair. "Wait here for me. I'll find something to pack it up."
Zhang Qiling hesitated for a moment, but ultimately stood still. As soon as Ji Huaichuan left, he heard a noise downstairs. This ancient building had poor sound insulation...
There were cries for help downstairs, which sounded like the voices of Fatty and the others. It was too far away and he was not sure which floor they were on. Zhang Qiling gripped the hilt of the knife and lowered his eyes.
After rescuing people and coming back, we should be able to catch up...
Zhang Qiling left the spot like a gust of wind. In the dark, Ji Huaichuan looked at Zhang Qiling's back and curled his lips slightly. The plan was successful!
Ji Huaichuan quickly put away the iron lump, left a note for Zhang Qiling, and finally left the ancient building. He was going to do something big.
After leaving the cave, Ji Huaichuan saw Huo Xiuxiu on the way out of Banai. He quietly hid in the bushes. Huo Xiuxiu was drugged and seemed to be sent away.
Ji Huaichuan narrowed his eyes to hide the gloom in them. So, the person who entered the cave with them wasn't the real Huo Xiuxiu, but a substitute found by Huo Xiangu. I wonder if they've discovered it...
He looked back towards the direction of the cave again, silently said sorry to Zhang Qiling hundreds of times in his heart, and then left the place quickly.
After a long journey, Ji Huaichuan returned to his old nest, the Bronze Gate.
The human-faced birds here seemed to have sensed something and were very irritable. They kept circling in the sky and refused to come down. Ji Huaichuan was a little afraid that they would wake up the centipede, as he didn't like that insect very much.
When the bronze door was reopened, the Chiyue that had been following him returned to its original form and had grown a lot bigger.
Chi Yue was particularly enthusiastic towards this master whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He kept nudging Ji Huaichuan with his head, causing him to retreat repeatedly.
"Okay, calm down." Ji Huaichuan stopped him softly.
Chiyue obediently put the clothes in order again.
"You stay outside. No one can let him through the bronze door. Got it?"
Chiyue nodded and said that it would definitely help its master watch the door!
Ji Huaichuan stepped into the bronze door, and the heavy door slowly closed. The human-faced bird outside calmed down and returned to the ground, and everything returned to silence.
Inside the bronze door, Ji Huaichuan walked to the corner and pressed it lightly. A huge piece of meteorite opened from both sides. Behind it was a sacrificial site with a towering statue that seemed to have no end.
This is the real secret that the Zhang family has guarded for generations. It is not the tomb where he sleeps, but the altar that can bring people back to life.
The objects of worship are "Fuxi and Nuwa", the builder of the sacrificial site is the Queen Mother of the West, and Ji Huaichuan hides this secret with her.
Shen Tingsi had been here many times, but he had never discovered it once, otherwise his plan might have really succeeded.
Ji Huaichuan sighed lightly and took out the iron lump he brought out from the ancient building. The black fog became a little restless.
"Don't struggle. It's only natural that your plan failed. Rebirth is impossible. Besides, even if you succeed, he won't have any memories of his past, and that's not what you want to see."
The white fingers slid across the iron block, and the black mist converged into it.
Ji Huaichuan walked to the edge of the cliff, his gentle voice tinged with a hint of solemnity, "Things that come from the abyss should return to the abyss. You will be sealed here forever, and never come out again."
The iron block was thrown into the huge abyss along with a jade ring. A dark red light flashed, and a shrill dragon roar came from below, and the heavy meteorite closed again.
…
Seven years later
"Sharpening scissors and kitchen knives~"
"Tanghulu~"
As the first ray of light came out, Panjiayuan became lively and the door of "Lead Flower" was opened.
"Zhang Qiling, you ran away without a sound again!"
Zhang Qiling paused, then pulled him into the house and back to his room with one hand. This was the twentieth time the rebellious child had failed to escape this month. Zhang Qiling silently recorded it in his notebook.
Ever since Ji Huaichuan came back from the Bronze Gate, he has developed the habit of taking notes, recording some boring daily trivia, for which Ji Huaichuan even laughed at him.
Wuxie was still in Hangzhou, guarding his third uncle's mess, and at the same time, he was inquiring about Wu Sansheng's whereabouts.
Fatty was still hanging around in Panjiayuan, but this time he had Yuncai to keep him company, so he wasn't alone. Occasionally, he would come to "Leading Beauty" to have a meal with Ji Huaichuan and Zhang Qiling.
Hei Xia Zi was recently hired by Jie Yuchen as a driver. He now has a relatively stable job, but he often secretly drives for online ride-hailing services.
Everything is fine.
