Chapter 160 [Zhang Taixu] (II)

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Emperor Yongzheng really died by taking the pill by mistake?" He thought of the crystal coffin they saw in the cave, and the golden head that fell out of it due to the rupture of the crystal coffin, and always suspected that the headless corpse in the coffin was related to Emperor Yongzheng.

Lan Ximei shook her head and said, "He was assassinated and died! If he took the pill by mistake, how could Lord Qianlong let go of those alchemy warlocks?"

Luo Lie had such an idea at that time, especially after seeing the crystal coffin, and afterwards the blind man also put forward evidence from Feng Shui, thinking that the crystal coffin was located where the dragon vein flowed, and the deceased was head-down to absorb the aura and grow scales after death, and feathered into a dragon for the benefit of future generations, not anyone is qualified to be buried in the underground of the Royal Garden of the Old Summer Palace.

Lan Ximei said: "Those alchemy warlocks were driven away from the garden, in a hurry, there were many books that had not had time to collect, and they were originally going to burn these things, but then Qianlong Ye changed his mind for some reason, so he found a special person to sort it out, this person is Ji Xiaolan, Ji Xiaolan compiled the Siku Quanshu at that time, but even so, he still read some notes left by the warlocks in his busy schedule. ”

Luo Lie secretly thought that these charlatans were not without merit, in fact, many of their alchemy techniques were early chemical experiments.

"Ji Xiaolan is well-read, rich and rich, and actually found some longevity techniques from the notes of these monks, after practice is extremely effective, he not only practiced, but also recommended it to Qianlong Ye, Qianlong Ye also felt as if rejuvenating after trying, but unfortunately part of the notes of the monks were lost, according to Ji Xiaolan, if you can get all the notes, I dare not say that you will live forever, at least you can rejuvenate and prolong your life. ”

Luo Lie sighed secretly in his heart, it's a pity that Emperor Yongzheng didn't have time to enjoy the research results of Fang Shi and was cut off by Lu Siniang, but the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the coolness, and his research results were still cheap for his son after all, Qianlong Ye lived to eighty-eight, and Ji Xiaolan also lived to eighty-one.

Lan Ximei said: "No one doesn't want to stay young forever, even if they are as wise as Qianlong, he sent Ji Xiaolan to secretly find out who wrote the notebook, after several tosses, he finally found out that the notebook was written by Zhang Taixu himself, but he found Zhang Taixu's hometown, but heard that he was dead, Qianlong Ye was unwilling to miss an opportunity to rejuvenate, and let people dig up Zhang Taixu's tomb, there was only an empty coffin in the tomb, and there were no bones in it at all. ”

This secret history is full of legends, and Luo Lie also listened attentively.

Lan Ximei was a little tired after talking for a long time, and leaned her head on Luo Lie's shoulder, whether Luo Lie admitted it or not, with the understanding of her, the evil feeling towards her in her heart has disappeared a lot. If it were that he had the same experience as Lan Ximei, maybe his revenge would be even more violent.

Lan Ximei whispered: " Qianlong Ye did not find the rest of the notes until he died, this kind of thing will not be written into the official history, after the death of Qianlong Ye Xian, no one paid attention to the matter of notes for a long time, until after the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, Lafayette felt that his body was not as good as day by day, an old eunuch in the palace talked about it, and actually found Ji Xiaolan's transcript from the library Pavilion, Lafayette asked people to refine the elixir according to the formula, and immediately felt refreshed after taking it, so let people look for the other half of the notes according to the clues。 ”

She paused, rubbed her cheek on Luo Lie's shoulder a few times, and then reached out to grab Luo Lie's big hand, Luo Lie felt that her skin was very cold, in this situation, it was really not good to break her away roughly, and let her take advantage of it.

Lan Ximei said: "Things in this world really have to pay attention to fate and creation, Qianlong Ye was looking for clues everywhere but could not find them, after so many years, he was actually found by Lafayette, it turned out that Zhang Taixu did not die that year, nor did he feather ascend to the immortal, after being expelled from the Old Summer Palace, he was worried that he would be retaliated against afterwards, so he went to Nanyang incognito, and after living in Nanyang for decades, he went to North America, and arrived in North America when the Civil War broke out. ”

Luo Lie silently calculated the timeline of this, Emperor Yongzheng died in 1735, and the outbreak of the Civil War was in 1861, Zhang Taixu was said to be over forty years old when he was expelled from the Old Summer Palace, and a full 126 years passed from his expulsion from the Old Summer Palace to the outbreak of the Civil War, that is to say, Zhang Taixu was about 170 years old when he arrived in the United States, so long-lived, which has never been recorded in human history.

Lan Ximei said: "If Zhang Taixu is willing to live incognito in the United States forever, it would be fine, but it is a pity that he finally couldn't help but feel homesick and asked someone to send a letter to his hometown, in fact, Zhang Taixu also understands that his family is long gone, this letter can not have any results, who would have expected that this letter just fell into the hands of the person sent by Lafayette to find Zhang Taixu's notes, after the handwriting master checked, it was found that the handwriting of this letter was exactly the same as the notes left by Zhang Taixu before. ”

Luo Lie had a deeper understanding of the saying that there are no wonders in the world at this time, before going to Pale Mountain, he never thought that there were so many magical creatures hidden in the underground world, and the mutations of Luo Xingmu, Fang Kewen and others greatly subverted his knowledge of human beings. And Shen Wangwu, this father who crossed over from the future world pushed his cognition to the limit, after experiencing so many incredible things, Zhang Taixu's longevity is not an earth-shattering thing.

Lan Ximei said: "This matter was secretly reported to Lafayette, Lafayette sent someone to North America to find Zhang Taixu's whereabouts according to the address on the letter, that Zhang Taixu is also an unusual person, after sending the letter, he already felt inappropriate, and when the person sent by Lafayette came to the door, Zhang Taixu had already gone to the empty building." However, in order to rejuvenate and live forever, Lafayette was unwilling to give up easily, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to pursue Zhang Taixu's whereabouts. Until Prince Rui Yixun visited the United States, Zhang Taixu, who was already disgusted with the world, actually took the initiative to find him, and no one knew what the two talked about, only that Zhang Taixu came to the beach after meeting and committed suicide in the direction of the oriental homeland. ”

She leaned on Luo Lie's side, feeling unprecedented peace of mind and warmth, since she was a child, she had never felt like this, the rain kept falling, the small carriage was mixed with tobacco and Lan Ximei's body fragrance, Lan Ximei held Luo Lie's right arm, although Luo Lie did not use hypnotism on her, she was so comfortable that she wanted to sleep at any time.

Luo Lie's left hand took down the already moist cigarette from his lips, the sound of rain became more and more dense, the outside world was already a blur, his eyes had long been adapted to the dark environment in the car, and he could enjoy Lan Ximei's beautiful face up close.

I don't know if it's because of the night or because it's too close, or because Lan Ximei's light makeup was washed away by the rain today, today she actually revealed the purity of water like hibiscus.

Luo Lie remembered the scene when he rescued her from the river, and now that he thought about it, he really had no regrets, he suddenly felt that Lan Ximei's attitude towards himself might have changed from that night, if it wasn't for his own rescue, her life should have ended that night, and no matter how deep the hatred was, it could only flow silently with the river.

Lan Ximei did not continue to tell this past, but Luo Lie had already guessed the follow-up development, after Zhang Taixu's death, Prince Rui Yixun must have obtained his notes, or other important research results, he put the things he got in the safe, and drifted across the ocean to the Qing Dynasty. And although Yixun got the note that he could live forever, he did not escape the assassination of his subordinates after all, and died in the middle of his return.

The most mysterious of them is the safe, Luo Lie suddenly guessed the bait that Lan Ximei used to trap Mu Sanshou, that is, the safe, to be exact, the things in the safe. Mu Sanshou is already old, his prestige and power will inevitably decline with his aging, no matter how much wealth a person has, but he doesn't have youth, what is the point?

Luo Lie remembered Luo Xingmu, the strange man who did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the so-called longevity formula, and the sparrow kept saying that he colluded with the Japanese to sell national treasures, but when Fu Bo's true identity was revealed, this accusation was obviously debatable. Although everyone's mind is different in this world, everyone should want to live better. It's not that you can live a chic life if you have young beauty, it's not that you can be happy if you have wealth and glory, and you have to live happily.

Lan Ximei and Ye Qinghong already have everything that people envy on the surface, but they all have knots that they can't untie, they want revenge, they want revenge at any cost.

Lan Ximei suddenly hugged Luo Lie's arm and whispered: "My father killed my mother, but I want to avenge him, am I stupid?"

Luo Lie shook his head.

Lan Ximei whispered: "I know you look down on me from the bottom of your bones, but since you saved me, you have no choice, you can not like me, you can't change that I like you!"

Luo Lie put the cigarette in his mouth again.

Lan Ximei raised her head, looked at him affectionately with a pair of clear beautiful eyes, and actually took the initiative to pick up the lighter and light a cigarette for him.

Luo Lie took a puff of his cigarette and inhaled it into his lungs as much as he could, because he felt that it was not gentlemanly enough to let second-hand smoke fill this cramped carriage even in front of Lan Ximei.

Lan Ximei seemed to guess his thoughts again, and whispered: "Don't suppress yourself, you are always too cautious, as long as it belongs to you, I will not dislike it." Her face was pressed against Luo Lie's shoulder, and she hugged Luo Lie with both hands, like vines wrapped around the trunk of a tree, and said softly: "Have you noticed that this carriage has been mixed with the breath of you and me, your lungs, my lungs are full of each other's breath, you have nowhere to escape, and it is impossible to refuse." ”

Luo Lie choked on her words again and coughed violently.

Lan Ximei giggled, and suddenly pounced, biting Luo Lie's neck like a vampire, but she didn't want to bite hard with her teeth, but kissed hard.

Luo Lie twisted his head, his face was squeezed against the car window, his handsome face had been deformed, but he still couldn't escape being kissed by Lan Ximei's wolf.

Lan Ximei pushed open the car door in a coquettish laugh, and walked into the wind and rain, the night rain was urgent, but she didn't care, she looked up at the rainy night sky, her pale face was covered with rain, and her hair was quickly fixed in the back of her head by the rain.

Luo Lie hesitated, grabbed the umbrella and wanted to follow out, but Lan Ximei kicked the car door shut with a backkick, and then she walked quickly into her car.
