Chapter 179: Dragon Lord, Eternal Life
The world we live in is in a stage of rapid development, and the progress of each decade may not be achieved in a hundred years compared to the past.
A few decades ago, the world was far less developed in terms of technology, law, politics and other aspects than it is now.
The same is true for the mainland, which has been hit all sides by a catastrophe and is in ruins.
It was also an era of heroes, three hundred and sixty lines, and the line was the champion, which naturally included some bad professions.
For example, thieves, of course, there are many types of theft, and thieves are just a general term.
And the "champion" of this line should belong to the dragon master, in that era, everything and theft were a little bit of a thing, there was nothing he had not done.
Where the dragon lord passed back then, the people and money were empty, the chickens were all left, and the whereabouts were strange and unpredictable, with the development of science and technology back then, there was no monitoring, so no one knew what the dragon lord's true face looked like.
He stole from home and overseas, as long as the things in this world are real, as long as they are what he likes, then there is nothing he can't get, it is so arrogant.
To be able to achieve such an effect, it is naturally not his own doing, he himself has a gang of ten people.
This gang is also the prototype of the original Tiandao Company, and they travel around the world with their superb technology, sweeping the property and cultural relics of various countries, which is a headache for the defense departments of various countries.
When a person is too strong, he is lonely, and that feeling of being alone and seeking defeat also arises in this team.
The gang of thieves led by the dragon lord all returned to China after stealing alcohol, officially established the Heavenly Dao Company, and used it to train the next generation of thieves.
At that time, the dragon lord was only in his twenties, and he was naturally unwilling to stop his pace, so he enlarged his vision and set his sights on other theft projects that had not been tried.
The first goal was to rob the tomb, and it was his usual style to do it when he thought of it, and in a very short period of time, he found the ten-person gang again.
It took half a year for the ten people to go from planning to preparation to action, mainly because they were not experts in tomb robbing, and some theoretical knowledge was learned, let alone practiced.
If you want to do it, you can do the biggest vote, and the dragon lord spent all the savings he had saved from stealing for several years to buy the coordinates of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and the equipment he needed to prepare from professional tomb robbers.
In fact, the dragon lord himself didn't understand why the tomb robber who sold the news didn't rob the tomb himself, maybe it was because the tomb was more dangerous and there was a shortage of manpower.
The ten people prepared the most advanced tomb robbery equipment of that era, and invited a feng shui master to calculate a hexagram for them.
The feng shui master's surname is Huang, who lives in the village near the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and is commonly known as the fortune teller, because he is accurate and is called the Yellow Immortal by the villagers.
Dressed in a refreshing Taoist robe, with an emerald green jade pendant hanging around his waist, he held a white cloth flag, on which the word "immortal" was particularly conspicuous.
Strictly speaking,
Huang Banxian didn't take the initiative to find it by the Dragon Lord and others, but he himself got together among these ten people and said a lot of metaphysical things, which made everyone confused, and it was impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Huang Banxian directly stated their purpose, and persuaded them to enter the tomb only to visit, not to touch anything, if accidentally touched, then not to take away, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
The ten people are all thieves, and they are not averse to superstition, because they will burn incense before doing big tasks, but they worship Shi Qian in the 108 heroes of Liangshan.
They continued to ask Huang Banxian with interest in listening to the commentary, and they didn't care much about the truth of what he said, but Huang Banxian didn't say anything halfway through, and left with a sentence of "The secret of heaven must not be revealed", leaving ten people in a daze.
This incident became a joke, and they laughed it off, and continued to plan the tomb robbery.
But that night, the dragon lord didn't know what was going on in his brain, so he went to Huang Banxian's house alone and went to visit alone.
It's not that he wants to swallow anything, it's not that he doesn't trust his partner, but this yellow immortal nodded to him three times before leaving during the day, and the meaning contained in it is a secret, and it will only be passed on to him alone.
It was a cloudless night, the crescent moon hung in the sky and shone humbly, and the village was surprisingly quiet, and everyone in the village went to bed early, so that there was no light in the village at all.
The chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs of every household did not make a sound, and it seemed that the darkness had swallowed everything.
Fifty meters away, the dragon lord saw the thatched house of the Yellow Immortal, and through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, he could see the candlelight inside, and there seemed to be a freshly lit incense flame next to it, emitting a soft light smoke.
He walked a few steps to the door of the thatched house, hesitated for a moment, and finally his curiosity prevailed over reason, and he decided to go in and ask what was going on.
A hand pushed open the door, and his head poked into it, and he saw that the Yellow Immortal was sitting in a rocking chair, smoking a cigarette gun in his mouth, looking at him with a smile on his face, and nodding his head for the fourth time to show his approval.
"You hesitated, so there is not much time for you, there is less than half a pillar of incense. β
"Half a pillar of incense?" the dragon lord turned his head to see the half-burned incense on the table.
He continued to ask, "What do the seniors know?"
Huang Xianren smiled and said happily: "The old man knows astronomy and geography, and knows the past life and the future life. β
Suddenly neither of them spoke, but looked into each other's eyes.
"If you don't ask anything useful, the old man will leave!"
The dragon lord was shocked in his heart, as if he had thought of something, and quickly asked, "Huang Xianren, what do you mean by what you said during the day?"
Huang Xianren shook his head and said, "It's too late to explain in detail, since you came, it means that things have already started, and it depends on how you choose." β
"I?choose?"
"That's right, it's you, don't touch anything after you enter the tomb, and don't take anything away. Huang Banxian repeated the words of the day.
"Or else?"
"Otherwise, everyone else will die, and you, you'll get ......."
Half a column of incense time turns
In an instant, the breeze through the cracks in the window swept by, the last bit of fire was extinguished, and the ashes fell into the incense burner.
The Dragon Lord stared at the Yellow Immortals and asked, "Why did they die, what will I get, what will I get?"
"Hehe, hehe, hahaha, Xiaosheng is not talented, snooping on the heavenly opportunity, the leaker will definitely make his heavenly punishment. β
"Huang Xianren, what are you talking about, what will I get?"
"Lalala, I'm a little expert in selling newspapers......"
The dragon lord stepped forward and grabbed the shoulders of the crazy Yellow Immortal with both hands, and the Yellow Immortal who was babbling nonsense was as crazy as a fool.
"This, how can this be?" The Dragon Lord was extremely meticulous in his observation of the details around him, and at this time, the eyes of the Yellow Immortal were very different from the day, or from just now.
Not only did it lose its sharpness before, it became cloudy, the whites of the eyes were gradually devouring the black pupils, and when the black dissipated, it was the end of the life of the Yellow Immortal.
Just when the dragon lord was desperate, a trace of clarity suddenly flashed in Huang Banxian's eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and he said softly: "Eternal life!" , then smiled slightly, tilted his head to the side, and completely lost his life.
"Eternal life?
Since that night, the Dragon Lord had never heard anything about the Yellow Immortals, as if the world had evaporated, and the people in the village seemed to have no memory of the existence of the Yellow Immortals.
No one mentioned this person, the dragon lord was preoccupied, buried this secret in his heart, and took this secret and other partners into the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
This is destined to be an extraordinary tomb robbery plan, and it is also destined to be the end of nine deaths and a lifetime.
The Dragon Lord was the only one of the ten people who survived, and left with the Celestial Maiden hairpin in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, if it was really as Huang Banxian said, he should have gained eternal life by now.
The nine people who died, like the Yellow Immortals, were never heard from again, and completely disappeared from the memory of the world.
However, after the dragon lord returned to the company, he was like a different person, frantically developing the scale of the company, and selling the hairpin in his hand at a sky-high price, injecting a lot of money into the construction of the Tiandao company.
When the company began to take shape and everything was on the right track, the dragon girl was born, but except for the dragon master, even the dragon girl didn't know who her mother was.
And since birth, he has used the dragon girl as a code name, and he doesn't have an actual name.
All of the above things were known to the dragon girl, but they were not told to her by the dragon lord, but she inadvertently opened her father's notes when she was a child and remembered them by impression.
She didn't remember the exact text for a long time, but the appearance of the note was still fresh in her memory, with a large circular pattern printed on the gray-yellow book cover.
The whole book is as tattered as an ancient book dug out of the ground, and the small characters inside the book are densely packed, the fonts are different, fair or sloppy, and the thick black scratches are one after another, as if they are hiding some secret.
Because she peeked at this matter, the dragon lord was furious and sent her directly to study overseas, and it was not until she came back to take over the theft department of Tiandao Company when she became an adult.
Hou Yan didn't fall asleep this time, one didn't dare
, and then he always felt that this matter would affect him.
I thought about countless situations, but none of them made sense, after all, it was decades ago, and he wasn't pregnant at that time.
"You told me mythological stories again, and then gave me the history of your family, but where is the hairpin this day, you didn't say a word!"
The dragon girl's face turned red and said, "Well, I don't know where it is. β
Hou Yan looked at the task details in his hand, which was only one page, and felt a sense of powerlessness to return to Kuafu Mountain to find the Jiuxi Pupil Wheel.
Affection is another unknown task, which means that the hairpin may be anywhere abroad on this day.
It should be noted that how big is a foreign country? Except for the domestic territory, other places can be called foreign, which seems to be not much different from the whole world.
Seeing that Hou Yan was depressed and had zero enthusiasm, the dragon girl comforted: "Actually, it's not that there is no news at all, when I stole the diamond before, the company asked Jack about the news of the heavenly hairpin." β
"Jack Florentine Diamond?"
"That's right, Jack said that the hairpin is here. β
"Where does this mean, why do you say half a word every time, it will rot your tongue. β
"This naturally refers to the mercenary world, you idiot!"
Hou Yan did not question the authenticity of the Florence diamond with her, anyway, it was also a family heirloom of other druids, and there was no need to cause more trouble.
The relationship between the two has eased a lot after this discussion, at least the dragon girl is no longer emotional.
Although he suffered some flesh and skin, on the whole, everything went well, but Hou Yan's idea of returning to China could only be put on hold for the time being.
