Chapter 309 [Immortal Life] (1)

Ye Qinghong nodded and said resolutely: "It is no accident that Yan Tianxin can survive here. The place she chose to stay must be a relatively safe place." After she said this, several people thought it was very reasonable, and they immediately reached an agreement.

Princess Longyu was a little hesitant before stepping onto the bone ladder. Luo Lie looked at the Measurement Heavenly Circle. The Measurement Heavenly Circle that had reacted just now became dull again, as if the only energy had been consumed just now.

Princess Longyu said: "Remember what I said to you. When you walk into the Bone Tower, except you and me, any scenery you see and anything you happen will be false."

Luo Lie nodded. He was still very confident in his willpower.

The two walked up the steps side by side. Before they arrived at the tower gate, the tower gate seemed to sense their existence before they could open the tower gate. The tower gate slowly rose, and waves of light floated in the door opening, as if a layer of liquid sealed the door opening, which was almost the same as what they saw when they broke out from the water and entered the underground world just now.

Luo Lie still remembered the feeling of his soul leaving his body just now. When he saw this barrier, he couldn't help but feel timid in his heart. Princess Longyu smiled at him and said, "Don't believe what you see." After that, she took the lead in entering the door hole, passed through the barrier without any obstacles, and her figure disappeared into the bone tower.

Luo Lie originally wanted to ask her to wait for him, but unfortunately it was too late. After standing in front of the liquid barrier for only three seconds, Luo Lie made a decision and reached into the barrier. When his hand passed through the barrier, he felt as if he had entered the air, and he did not feel anything. Luo Lie then understood why Princess Long Yu had just repeatedly reminded him of what he said.

He took a deep breath and then crossed the barrier without hesitation.

Princess Longyu disappeared, and the two were only three seconds apart, but after Luo Lie entered, she did not see her figure. There were no bones in the white bone tower. The interior of the building was made of unknown metal. The steps were not far away. Luo Lie called out, are you there? I haven't heard anyone answer for a long time.

Follow the steps ahead and walk to the top of the Jiuyou White Bone Tower. The tower is exquisitely carved, and there are countless rare treasures hidden in the niche on the wall. Unfortunately, Luo Lie only wants to find Princess Dragon Jade as soon as possible, and has no time to appreciate it.

Walking to the top floor, each floor has a place to stop, but Luo Lie has not even stopped for a moment.

The ninth floor has reached its end, and Luo Lie did not find the dragon jade. On the white jade platform in the middle of the ninth floor, a middle-aged man in gray sat cross-legged there, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. His face was like a crown jade, black as ink, and three green beards were born under his jaw. Although he was motionless, he felt that he had a fairy-like appearance.

Luo Lie was used to all kinds of strange things on this illusion island, thinking that the man might have died for a long time. Seeing that the clothes he was wearing were clearly a Taoist robe, he suddenly remembered something in his heart. Prince Rui Yixun's secret mission to North America was actually to find Zhang Taixu. It is said that Zhang Taixu was already over 200 years old at that time. Lan Ximei told him that Yixun had found Zhang Taixu. Shortly after the two met, Zhang Taixu committed suicide by drinking in the direction of his homeland.

How could a person who can survive in the world for more than 200 years die so easily? Luo Lie came to the middle-aged man and whispered: "Senior!"

The man was motionless. Luo Lie asked himself that with his perception, even if the other party had any subtle movements at such a close distance, Luo Lie would not hide his perception, but Luo Lie had never felt any sign of life from the other party.

Luo Lie suspected that this might be another wax figure and whispered: "Occursed!" He reached out to touch the man's face.

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes. Luo Lie stopped in surprise and embarrassment, and his hands froze for a moment. Perhaps it was because he had already expected that the middle-aged man would still survive in the depths of his heart, so the sudden opening of his eyes did not bring him excessive shock.

The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him with deep eyes as deep as the ocean, and sighed, "Do you think I am a dead person?"

Luo Lie smiled and shook his head and said, "If I think you are a dead person, why should I test it?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "No, it makes sense."

Luo Lie said: "Senior has been here for many years, right?"

The middle-aged man fell into deep thought because of his inquiry. After a while, he raised his head and said with confusion: "Yes, I have been there for many years. Who am I? Why am I here?"

Luo Lie said: "If I'm not wrong, is it right for senior?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, but then he dimmed again: "My surname is Zhang? You...how do you know?"

Luo Lie was actually speculating. When he heard the other party admit his surname was Zhang, he could basically determine that he was Zhang Taixu.

The middle-aged man said, "There are many people in this world who are surnamed Zhang. You must be guessing randomly, right?"

Luo Lie said: "Not only do I know that your surname is Zhang, I also know that you are Mr. Zhang Taixu."

The middle-aged man heard him call out his real name in one go, and his eyes returned to the bright light. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am Zhang Taixu. You must have been sent by the Qing court, right? I didn't expect that the old witch was so powerful that I would be found by her when I hid here."

Luo Lie guessed that the old witch he mentioned should be Cixi. He went to North America from Prince Rui Yixun to find Zhang Taixu to calculate that when they met, the Qing Dynasty had not yet perished and the Republic of China had not yet been established. Shortly after Zhang Taixu met Yixun, news of his suicide came from Zhang Taixu. If it were counted at that time, Zhang Taixu would not know about the revolution of changing dynasties in China.

Luo Lie said: "In Xia Luo Lie, it has nothing to do with the Qing court, and the Qing court that the gentleman said had long been destroyed."

When Zhang Taixu heard him say this, he was skeptical.

Luo Lie then briefly talked about the past few years. After hearing this, Zhang Taixu let out a long sigh and said, "It should be like this, it should have been like this long ago, and the corrupt Qing court should have been destroyed long ago."

Luo Lie thought to himself that Zhang Taixu should be over 200 years old since he lived in Yongzheng's time. Although he is incomparable to monsters like Princess Dragon Jade and Lion King, his lifespan has exceeded the limit compared to normal humans. Over the past two hundred years, he has hid from all over the ocean and finally came to this mysterious place to hide because he realized the crisis. As long as people know his secret, he will definitely become a treasure that everyone wants to capture, and everyone wants to obtain the secret of longevity from him.

This is the real reason why Zhang Taixu chose to hide from the world.

Although Zhang Taixu lived in seclusion for many years, he still spoke fluently, which stems from his long-term persistence practice. His more than 200-year life experience allowed him to see through the vicissitudes and experience the warmth and coldness of human feelings. Naturally, he also cultivated a pair of insightful eyes that could see through the hearts of people. From the first sight of Luo Lie, he did not feel threatened. Luo Lie gave him a good impression. After a period of chatting, he even felt intimate about Luo Lie and initially judged that Luo Lie did not come to find the elixir of immortality.

Zhang Taixu finally asked Luo Lie the purpose of this trip: "Luo Lie, are you saying that this trip is not for me?"

Luo Lie did not hide it from him and told him why he was entrusted by Bai Yunfei. After Zhang Taixu heard the map drawn in the porcelain bottle, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Because he had not communicated with others for a long time, Zhang Taixu's expression seemed a little stiff, and this smile seemed particularly strange in Luo Lie's eyes.

Luo Lie has been thinking about why Zhang Taixu came here. If there is no accident, it should be related to Prince Rui Yixun. The real secret of the trip to North America before Yixun was killed is not a safe. Now it seems that the safe is just a cover he used to confuse others. Maybe it is Yixun and Zhang Taixu's trick.

But the smile that Zhang Taixu couldn't help but appear was too weird. Luo Lie thought of another possibility. Yixun released the news that Zhang Taixu committed suicide by drinking and beating. The purpose was to make everyone think that Zhang Taixu was dead, and even he wanted to hide from the world in this matter. Zhang Taixu was forced to follow Yixun to return to his hometown. When the boat arrived here, Yixun happened to be hurt by his subordinates. Zhang Taixu took this opportunity to escape, but why did he choose to hide here? Could it be that the route Yixun chose was influenced by Zhang Taixu? Or maybe Zhang Taixu had known this place long ago?

Zhang Taixu said: "If you have any questions, just speak up."

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Zhang, I have a companion. She and I have entered this tower, but I can't see her. I'm sorry to tell her whereabouts."

Zhang Taixu said: "The person who can find this place is definitely not an ordinary person, she is not an ordinary person." He paused and stared at Luo Lie's eyes: "Neither are you."

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Zhang is so proud, I am just an ordinary person."

Zhang Taixu sighed and said, "It is best to be an ordinary person. An ordinary and mediocre life is the greatest happiness. Everyone wants to live forever, but what can live forever bring you? Seeing relatives and friends die one by one, worrying that others know your secrets all the time. Once the secret is exposed, it will become the target of others' pursuit. If you know how lonely immortality is, you will not envy me."

Luo Lie said: "I never thought about immortality, nor did I envy Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Taixu looked at Luo Lie with incredible eyes. After a while, he smiled and shook his head and said, "I have said the same thing to Yixun. He also answered me like you, but he was right and wrong."

Luo Lie said: "I just want to find my companions and leave here."
