I see that Wu Zetian has been standing outside the window, deeply immersed in the memories of the past, even if she is the empress of the past and the present, but after all, she is still a mortal, in front of power, and in front of supreme power, she can't resist that temptation like many people.

"What about after you get the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Duel?" I asked, looking at her back.

"The queen of heaven was worried that Yuan Tiangang was upright and loyal, he was not at all as tactful as Li Chunfeng, and he was afraid that he would reveal the future affairs of the queen of heaven, so the queen of heaven ordered me to ask Yuan Tiangang about his house overnight, leaving no room to live." Shangguan Wan'er took the conversation and replied.

"You...... You killed...... Yuan Tiangang?! ”

"Who is Yuan Tiangang, he has long had insight into the heavens, and when Wan'er arrived with people, Yuan Tiangang and his family did not know where to go." Wu Zetian said in a low voice. "Wan'er brought me back a letter, it was written to me, in the letter he bluntly said that I will be the Ninety-Five in the future, why force the future, he made me not obsessed with the mystery of the book, although he handed over the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, but he took away another thing!"

I looked up and asked in surprise.

"What did Yuan Tiangang take away?"

"The necklace you're wearing now!"

I was stunned, lowered my head and looked at the Eight Dragons Holding Beads necklace hanging around my neck, and said in surprise.

"This necklace of mine?! This chain is ...... Is it Yuan Tiangang?! ”

"The necklace you are wearing is called Nine Dragons Panzhu, in fact, the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon is definitely not a book, but a book and a jade, which complement each other and are indispensable." Shangguan Wan'er said calmly beside her.

"How could this necklace have something to do with the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Duel?" I still don't quite understand.

"The Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon is known as the study of heaven and earth, is the supreme treasure of the five Taoist arts, known as the study of the emperor, is the highest level of the secret book in the five arts, a total of 7749 articles, this book records the essence of the five arts, such as Taoism, Kanyu, physiognomy, physiognomy, medical skills, etc., and there are also the art of eternal life and the method of predicting the future generations, after learning can you know the heavens and the earth, immortality predicts the future." Wu Zetian turned around and said lightly. "And the Nine Dragons Panzhu hides the essence of the five Taoist techniques, if you can understand the mystery, you can do the secret of the five Taoist techniques, and there is no one who can understand the mystery of the Eight Dragons Holding the Pearl, and only those who understand the mystery of the Eight Dragons Holding the Beads can truly comprehend the mystery of the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision."

"No, you said that this necklace is called Nine Dragons Panzhu, but there are only eight dragons on my necklace, and what about one?"

"You're another dragon!" Wu Zetian's words were astonishing.

"Me?!"

"The Nine Dragons Panzhu is a piece of psychic ancient jade, the art of Heluo is respected by nine, there are only eight dragons on it, and it is just an ordinary ancient jade in the hands of ordinary people, but once the jade finds its owner, the ninth dragon returns to its place, and the mystery of the Nine Dragons Panzhu will naturally appear."

I still didn't quite understand the mystery and asked with a frown.

"But how does this jade know who the owner is?"

"The lord of the world is the true dragon son of heaven, and the emperor is the dragon! As long as the emperor drips his blood on the Nine Dragons Bead Necklace, the hidden mystery of the Nine Dragons Beads will be revealed. Wu Zetian's gaze fell on the necklace on my chest. Yuan Tiangang knew that I would wait for the emperor soon, and once I got the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, and then waited for me to ascend the throne and become the emperor, I would definitely comprehend the secrets in the book when I collected these two things. ”

"So...... So even if Yuan Tiangang handed over the book, he left the necklace. I nodded in realization.

"Don't you feel strange, with your age and experience, it stands to reason that it is impossible for you to have today's achievements and attainments in metaphysics." Shangguan Wan'er looked at me calmly and said. "Qiu Nuo came back to me and said, you are a person with the emperor's destiny, if I am not wrong, you should have accidentally dropped blood on this chain when you were a child, and inadvertently opened the Nine Dragons Panzhu, so that you have the metaphysics of the world!"

I looked dazed, slowly took off the necklace and put it in my hand, just as Shangguan Wan'er said, since I can remember, it seems that I have an unusual talent for metaphysics, everything I will know today is learned from no teacher, I can't help but be a little surprised when I think of this, I didn't expect this ordinary necklace that I have been wearing on my body to be so magical.

"Without this necklace in your hand, even if there is a Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, it will not help, I ordered the whole country to secretly search for Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts, and I didn't see him again until I abdicated." Wu Zetian said.

"Since you didn't get the necklace, ...... So how do you ...... What have you survived to this day? ”

"I'm not interested in the Taoist techniques recorded in the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, I just want to predict the future through this book, if I know what will happen in the future, I will be able to be invincible in my own right, but without a necklace, the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision is undoubtedly a book of heaven that no one reads and understands." Wu Zetian sat back in his chair and said slowly. "The person who really discovered the secret in the book was not me, but Wan'er."

Shangguan Wan'er poured a cup of tea for Wu Zetian and said calmly.

"There is a very peculiar text in the next part of the book, the queen of heaven handed the book to me for reference, when I saw this one, I couldn't read it well, as if the text on it was deliberately so upside down that I don't want people to understand the meaning, so I pay attention to this article."

I drank tea and listened quietly to Shangguan Wan'er talk about things.

"Later, Li Chunfeng met the Queen of Heaven, and inadvertently mentioned that he would arrange a feng shui gossip array in the Queen of Heaven's bedroom, and I got inspiration from it, since the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon is a Taoist treasure, will this text have anything to do with the gossip, so I combined this text according to the eighty-one changes of the gossip, but I didn't expect to let me crack the secret and get a Dan Fang."

"Danfang?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, holding the teacup and continued.

"The Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon is known as the Book of Heaven and Earth Creation, so I think the Dan Fang recorded in the book must also be extraordinary, so I ordered someone to refine it secretly and dedicate it to the Queen of Heaven."

I seemed to have half understood this and said calmly.

"What is the use of the pill, Aunt Qing, you don't know, let alone rashly give it to the empress, so ...... So you test the medicine for the Empress! ”

"No, the queen of heaven asked the palace maid around her to test the medicine, the stakes are very high, and I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I took the pill."

Wu Zetian looked at Shangguan Wan'er with soft eyes and said apologetically.

"You're just too serious, if you hadn't taken that pill at the time...... Hey, it's really hard for you. ”

"It has been my blessing to be with you for a thousand years, and I have never regretted it to this day." Shangguan Wan'er said with a slight smile.

I took a deep breath and said thoughtfully.

"In addition to the five Taoist techniques, there are also records of immortality in the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, presumably the Danfang obtained by Aunt Qing's deciphered text is the art of immortality!"

"After Wan'er took the pill, after three years, I found that Wan'er was getting younger and younger, her whole person was simply radiant, and even her skin became as delicate as a baby, and I slowly guessed the use of the pill." The Buddha bead in Wu Zetian's hand paused. "Immortality...... How many people dream of something, I am an emperor who doesn't want to be eternal, so I also took the pill, but I didn't expect it...... I even lived to this day! ”

I suddenly looked up and asked with anticipation in my eyes.

"Since you and Aunt Qing can live forever, and you are staying with Sanqiu Mobao and Vertical Gongji, what about ...... The Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Duel is also with you? ”

"Silly boy, if the book is still with me, why should I go to the trouble of letting you find it."

"How could the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision not be with you?"

"In the first few years, I was really happy that I had two good things that the world could only dream of, and that I had no regrets in my life." Wu Zetian sighed and said. "But as time goes by, my suspicions become heavier and heavier, I am afraid that others will know my secret, since I can't understand the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, I am worried about being discovered by others, so I originally thought of burning this book."

"And then?" I asked eagerly.

"After all, I didn't have the courage to burn this book of the world, properly hidden in the palace, the first year of the dragon, I was assassinated in the palace, although there was no big problem, but soon found that the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Jue was missing, because of the relationship with this book, so this matter was kept secret by me and no one knew, it is for this reason, I was worried about the secret leakage, so I arranged a palace coup d'état for future generations to see, and after the abdication, I died of illness and Wan'er returned to the world."

"The assassin is here for the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Technique, and the only person who knows that you have this book is Yuan Tiangang, could it be that the assassin is Yuan Tiangang?"

"It won't be him, Yuan Tiangang abides by the heavens, knowing that the will of heaven cannot be violated, he is going against the sky to kill me, he won't do this, not to mention that Yuan Tiangang has nine dragon beads in his hands, there is no need for him to risk stealing books."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded and continued.

"I and the Queen of Heaven retreated, after the rise and fall of several dynasties, I always wanted to find the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, until this book fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was never able to comprehend the mystery of the book, until he was seriously ill and worried about the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, and he was reluctant to destroy it, so he ordered someone to hide this book in the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, hoping that future generations of descendants can understand and continue the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations."

It dawned on me that I finally understood why they knew so much about the 14th Tombs of the Ming Dynasty.

"Find the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, bring me the book, this book will be of use to me and Wan'er!" Wu Zetian shook the Buddha beads and said lightly.

"You ......"

"Don't worry about what I still think, it's been thousands of years, I still have something I can't let go, it's just that in the past thousand years, after the vicissitudes of life and seeing all the good and evil, Wan'er and I have experienced too many things, I have seen more, and I have slowly understood more, I am tired!" There was a mournful begging in Wu Zetian's eyes. "I'm tired of watching the people around me grow old, I'm tired of my adopted child dying in my eyes, I don't want to see Qiu Nuo end up like this again, I really want to go to sleep and get up again!"

I reminisced about Wu Zetian's words, and slowly could understand her current mood, the pain of immortality lies in experiencing more human grief, having a lot of painful memories, when a person is tired of all this, immortality becomes an endless torture.

"Since there is the art of immortality in the book, there must be a way to crack it, which is another reason why we asked you to find the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon to decide." Shangguan Wan'er said earnestly.

"I'll bring you the book!" I say without hesitation.
