When the story came to this, several people couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that they still looked up to this king, and his suspicion of the general was already in their bones.

Bai Qianyu said: "Actually, it's no wonder that this general has the power of the army, and his prestige among the people and the army is so high, if he wants to rebel, the success rate should be very high, and any king should not be at ease." As he spoke, he also glanced at Xu Qingyun and asked, "Fourth master, interview you when you are old, are you all suspicious when you are the boss?" ”

Xu Qingyun spread his hands with a smile and said: "I don't know about others, I definitely don't, I can see at a glance how many fancy intestines there are under my hands, the trust that should be trusted, the treatment that should be handled, there is no need to be suspicious all day long." ”

Xu Qingyun's words should not be boasting, among the four villains, only he is known for his scheming, and the deaths of Leopard, Jiawei, and Zhang Beibei are a living example.

At this time, Cheng Ruxue said: "You said that the blood of the messenger in the story can bring people back to life, can it be true?" Xu Qingyun smiled and said, "At least in terms of the current level of science, it should be nonsense." ”

"But if this whole thing is fake, then the person who wrote this book is too good at storytelling, right?" Dong Que said, turned two more pages of the book, the book is not very thick, and you can finish it quickly, "And you read the follow-up, the more you talk about it, the more it looks like the truth, if this is just a story book, it should not be stored in this room." ”

"You're saying the story isn't over yet? And the follow-up? Xu Qingyun asked, Dong Que nodded, and said: "Of course, what I just talked about is only the origin of the secret art of immortality, and the next thing is its development, what I said is that the messenger used his own blood as a guide to refine it into an elixir, and the king really got better day by day under his treatment." About half a year later, the king's condition was nearly stable, and the envoy had learned the language of Poz, so he took his leave to the king. In the end, he left the king ten pills, on the condition that he took away nearly 100 books from the royal library, which recorded the results of hundreds of years of civilization research in the ancient kingdom of Pozi. ”

Bai Qianyu held his chin and thought for a while: "It sounds like the real purpose of this envoy is to use his ability to resurrect the dead as a bargaining chip to do cultural exchanges with the ancient country of Pozi?" ”

Dong Que's eyes lit up, and said: "Don't say it, it seems to be the case, this is very similar to our Arbitrary Door, as long as you have anything that we don't have, you can exchange it for knowledge, but in fact, in exchange, it will always be the most known by our Arbitrary Door." ”

"Actually, this is also what I have always admired about you, the sea is tolerant of all rivers, I'm afraid that's the truth. However, for King Poz at that time, I believe that as long as he can cure his illness, he should be willing to spare even thousands of books. ”

But Dong Que shook his head and said, "However, it is a pity that after the envoys left, they found that those pills could only temporarily prolong the life of the king, but could not cure the disease. The effect of one pill only lasts for six to ten years, and once the drug is stopped, the condition relapses immediately. ”

When a few people heard this, they were immediately shocked, good guy, then this is a total of ten pills, which means that this guy has to live at least sixty more years?

Of course, from the perspective of everyone, all they can experience is shock, but from the perspective of King Potz, what he has in mind must be more "long-term", because since he has tasted the sweetness of immortality, he will definitely not die willingly. Dong Quede also said: "So he began to use the power of the whole country to use the pill as a clue to study the mystery of immortality, and finally formed the unique 'immortal culture' of the ancient country of Pozi." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue glanced at each other, and Zheng Xiaofeng asked, "Then is this immortal culture related to red crystal?" ”

Dong Quede's expression was a little surprised for a while, and he asked, "How do you know?" ”

"The past." That's how he replied.

Dong Que pursed his lips stupidly, knowing that he was such a character, so he had no choice but to say: "That's true, there is a saying in the ancient country of Pozi, that there is a special red crystal here, if the corpse is placed in it after death, the corpse can be kept from rotting." At that time, the scholars of the Pozi Kingdom studied the art of immortality, and they never found a breakthrough in the pill left by the messenger, so they could only create a hypothesis by themselves - after death, the pill was melted into water and smeared on the inner wall of the crystal coffin, and under the joint nourishment of the crystal and blood, at least a trace of yang energy could be guaranteed in the corpse, which also gave the deceased the possibility of resurrection. If, by chance, someone is willing to sacrifice their bodies and offer the blood of the deceased, then the deceased can wake up again and receive eternal life. Of course, if I want to say that this statement is purely a casual statement by those scholars under pressure from the royal family, and the book says that there is no success in this method at all, but because dead horses are used as live horse doctors, King Holtz finally chose to listen to them. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue nodded thoughtfully, speaking of which, the mystery in the altar of Tarim Mountain back then is finally clear. The world can be so wonderful, a group of people made up thousands of years ago were able to save the lives of Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue, and at the same time, they also inexplicably killed a person named Liu Bushuai.

"After all, in this so-called secret art of immortality, there is actually no way to make people truly immortal?" Xu Qingyun asked with a look of disappointment.

Zheng Xiaofeng's expression was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but ask: "Even if you can live forever, is it really a good thing?" It's nothing more than enduring more pain in the world, wanting to die but not being able to die, and one day feeling bored. ”

When Xu Qingyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "I think that the fun in this world is endless, and people can only appreciate enough style if they live for a long time." Many people feel that people live harder than fun, that is because anyone can suffer, and only strong enough people are qualified to enjoy, if a person has no ability, why should he enjoy? It is very simple for people to strive to go to higher places. So, if I could decide whether or not to live forever, I would probably choose yes, so that I would have enough time to go to a higher place, stand higher, and naturally see more fun. ”

"But—not everyone can be as capable of being strong as you are, and as you yourself say, anyone can suffer, and the longer you live, the more you suffer."

"Maybe that's the difference between me and others, I'm a person who doesn't know how to accumulate pain, and I won't be sad for more than a day no matter how painful things are, because no matter how long or short people live, they always have to look forward, they can be depressed for a while, but they must not stop moving. And beware, I'm not a strong man, I'm just a gravedigger bastard. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, pondered for a long time, and stopped talking, and being able to say that he was a bastard casually was really a strange flower. Xu Qingyun's words are right or wrong, but at least one thing is certain, he and Zheng Xiaofeng are completely two people with different worldviews. Zheng Xiaofeng even said in his heart that this guy must be boasting, everyone said that he can look forward and not be affected by the pain of the past, but he can really do it...... There is no such person at all.

At this time, Bai Qianyu suddenly said: "Okay, since there is nothing we are interested in here, let's study and study the matter of finding an outlet, after all, immortality is an ethereal thing, and it is true to make sure that we will not die now." ”

Xu Qingyun said, "It sounds like you already have a plan?" ”

Bai Qianyu nodded and said, "Now that we can only climb out from the top of the mountain, I will go up first and build a platform every few tens of meters on the cliff, so that when you come up again, even if your physical strength is exhausted, you can stop and rest for a while." ”

Xu Qingyun understood what he meant, opened the backpack and showed it to him, and said, "All my things are here, what do you think is useful?" ”

Bai Qianyu said: "Just these steel pipes, I will try to find some hard places, and insert them side by side on the cliff, it should be very strong." ”

The steel pipes that Bai Qianyu said are actually the new Luoyang shovel, which is composed of a shovel head and a steel pipe, and how long the shovel is connected to it, which is easy to carry and easy to use. It's now half past three in the afternoon, and I don't know how long it will take to complete these tasks, Xu Qingyun asked, "Do you need help?" ”

Bai Qianyu shook his head and said, "No, I can do the high-altitude work by myself, it is estimated that it will be very physically demanding when I climb up for a while, you better rest first, if I really can't do it myself, it's not too late to ask you for help." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone had no opinion, and the group came to the periphery of the ancient city together, Bai Qianyu chose a place that was easier to climb, climbing a rock rope in his left hand, sniping a crossbow in his right hand, and carrying a package of steel pipes on his back, and shot the rope arrow to the rock wall more than ten meters high.
