Chapter 88 Immortality

"Changsheng, I won't go around in circles anymore, I'll tell you everything, but before that..." Second Master Lei winked at his confidant Xiaodao as he spoke, and then saw Xiaodao turned and walked out of the negotiation room room, guarded the door, and closed the door tightly.

Afterwards, Second Master Lei cautiously looked out of the window and even pulled down the blinds. I couldn't help being more curious about that shocking secret and the purpose of the seven of them breaking into the mausoleum.

After confirming that no one could hear our conversation, Second Master Lei was relieved. He let out a long sigh of relief, and sat on the chair next to the table, with agate walnuts in his hand, and was in a daze.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, I felt itchy in my heart, and couldn't help asking: "Second Uncle Lei, don't be tricky, tell me quickly."

Second Lord Lei said to me: "The mausoleum records that the 10 people who disappeared in Yecheng at the beginning actually went to a very mysterious place unintentionally, a mysterious space that does not belong to the world nor to the underworld..."

"What... what?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"It is recorded in the murals in the mausoleum that the mysterious space is more beautiful than the Xanadu written by Tao Yuanming, and people living in that space can live forever!"

"Immortal!" I was shocked again.

Second Master Lei sighed, and then said to me: "Changsheng, do you know why your father gave you this name?"

I recalled what my adoptive father said, and nodded, "Yes, my father said before he died that there are two reasons. But. And the second... wait, the second reason my father didn't say before he died..."

"Let me tell you the second reason. It's because your father, Zhao Banxian, also wants to live forever. In fact, it's nothing. This immortality is the wish of every ascetic. It can also be said to be wishful thinking. .” Second Master Lei sighed again.

I suddenly realized: "Then the ultimate purpose of the seven of you going to the mausoleum was..."

Second Lord Lei said with a wry smile: "Yes, who doesn't want to live forever. Since ancient times, many emperors have resorted to fighting and even devastated their lives in order to seek immortality. The irony is that most of the emperors died because of swallowing the so-called 'elixir of immortality'." die."

"Then you are sure that the mysterious space recorded in the mausoleum is real?" I asked.

"We're not sure, but it's worth trying. Not only is the beautiful scene of that mysterious space recorded in the mausoleum, but it is also said that how to get to that mysterious space is also recorded in the main tomb. However, we couldn't open that door in the end." The secret door can't reach Murong Chui's tomb... But this time, it's different..." Second Master Lei's eyes gradually turned to my right hand, and his eyes suddenly became hot, even a little crazy.

I subconsciously put my hands back, and Second Master Lei came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Changsheng, don't you want to live forever?"

I smiled wryly, and said: "I...I just want to survive, and I will be satisfied if I can live to be 70 years old. I don't dare to hope for immortality. I have only one purpose in going to this mausoleum, and that is to find out why my father is here. After escaping from the ancient tomb, he will go to steal the treasure of Tongtian Palace, I want to know why he did this."

Second Master Lei nodded, and said with emotion: "Changsheng, you are such a good boy. You really don't look like fifteen or sixteen years old, and you are more mature than 25 or six-year-old young people. Come on, let's get back to business and continue." Study this map."

I walked up to the map, Second Master Lei handed me a pencil and asked, "Changsheng, where do you think this mausoleum will be built?"

I took a look at the trend of the mountains, drew a circle on the location of Yinling Mountain with a pencil, and said confidently: "I think this mausoleum will be built here."

But Second Master Lei shook his head again. He drew a circle on a low mountain next to our village with a pencil and said, "Here."

"How...how is this possible? I heard from my father that the most taboo of building a mausoleum under the dragon's claws is that the location of the dragon's veins lacks yang energy, and being pressed by the dragon's claws will make future generations unlucky. "I said in surprise.

"Then where do you think it should be?" Second Master Lei asked with a smile, as if he was trying to test me.

I said to him: "Under normal circumstances, the tombs of ordinary people will be built on the mountainside, but if it is the tomb of an emperor, it should be built on the dragon head, because the dragon head has the strongest luck. different."

"What you said is right. Not only me, but everyone who knows Fengshui thought that Murong Chui's tomb would be built at the dragon's head 17 years ago, but there was one person who said it would be built here, and that person was your father."

"My father..."

Second Master Lei nodded, staring into my eyes and then said: "Do you know why your father Zhao Banxian hides his name and hides himself in this small mountain village under the pseudonym Zhao Hongbo? Maybe he just wants to guard this tomb ..."
