Ye Qinghong nodded, and said resolutely: "It is no accident that Yan Tianxin can survive here, the place she chooses to stay must be a relatively safe place." When she said this, several people thought it was very reasonable, and they immediately reached an agreement.
Princess Longyu was a little hesitant before stepping on the white bone ladder, Luo Lie looked at the Heavenly Measuring Instrument, the Heavenly Measuring Instrument that had reacted just now had become dim again, and it seemed that the only bit of energy had been exhausted just now.
Princess Longyu said: "Remember what I said to you, when you enter the White Bone Tower, except for you and me, anything you see and everything that happens is false. ”
Luo Lie nodded, he was still very confident in his willpower.
The two walked up the steps side by side, and before they came to the tower gate, before they could open the tower gate, the tower gate seemed to sense their presence, and the tower gate slowly rose, and the hole in the door shimmered and floated, like a layer of liquid sealing the door hole, which was almost the same as what they had seen when they left the water and entered the underground world just now.
The feeling of being out of the body just now Luo Lie still remembered it vividly, and when he saw this barrier, he couldn't help but feel cowardice in his heart, and Princess Longyu smiled at him: "Don't believe what you see. With that, she was the first to walk through the doorway, passing through the barrier without hindrance, and her figure disappeared into the tower of bones.
Luo Lie wanted to tell her to wait for herself, but unfortunately it was too late, standing in front of the liquid barrier and hesitating for just three seconds, Luo Lie made a decision, reached into the barrier, when his hand passed through the barrier, it was like entering the air, and he didn't feel anything, Luo Lie then understood why Princess Longyu had just reminded himself of that sentence.
He took a deep breath and then crossed the barrier without hesitation.
Princess Longyu disappeared, the difference between the two was only three seconds, but Luo Hunt did not see her figure after entering, there were no white bones in the White Bone Tower, the interior of the building was made of unknown metal, and the steps were not far away, Luo Hunt called Are you there? I haven't heard anyone answer for a long time.
Climb up the stairs in front of you, until you reach the top floor of the Nine Shadows White Bone Tower, the tower is beautifully carved, and there are countless rare treasures hidden in the niches on the wall, but unfortunately Luo Lie just wants to find Princess Longyu as soon as possible, and has no time to appreciate it.
All the way to the top floor, there was something worth stopping on each floor, but Luo Lie didn't stop for even a moment.
The ninth floor has come to an end, Luo Lie did not find Long Yu, on the white jade platform in the middle of the ninth floor, a middle-aged man in gray sat there cross-legged, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. His face is like a crown of jade, his hair is as black as ink, and there are three strands of green hair under his chin.
Luo Lie was accustomed to seeing all kinds of strange things on this fantasy island, thinking that this man might have been dead for a long time, and when he saw that the clothes he was wearing were clearly a Taoist robe, he suddenly remembered one thing in his heart, when Prince Rui Yixun's secret mission to North America was actually to find Zhang Taixu, it is said that Zhang Taixu had lived for more than two hundred years at that time. Lan Ximei told him about this, saying that Yixun had found Zhang Taixu, and soon after the two interviewed, Zhang Taixu committed suicide by drinking bullets in the direction of his homeland.
How could a person who could survive in the human world for more than 200 years die so easily? Luo Lie came to the middle-aged man and said softly, "Senior!"
The man was motionless, Luo Lie asked himself with his perception, at such a close distance, even the slightest movement of the other party would not hide his perception, but Luo Lie did not feel any signs of life from the other party's body.
Luo Lie suspected that this might be another wax figure, and whispered, "Offended!" Reaching out to touch the man's face.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, Luo Lie stopped his movements in astonishment and embarrassment, and his hands froze there for a while. Perhaps deep in his heart, he had already expected that this middle-aged man still had the possibility of survival, so the other party's 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 eyes as deep as the ocean, and sighed, "Do you think I'm a dead man?"
Luo Lie smiled and shook his head, "If I think you are a dead man, why should I be tempted?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, it makes sense." ”
Luo Lie said: "Seniors have been here for many years, right?"
The middle-aged man was lost in thought by his question, and after a while he raised his head, his eyes full of confusion, and said, "Yes, I have been here for many years, who am I? Why am I here?"
Luo Lie said: "If I didn't guess wrong, is it right for my predecessors?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again: "My surname is Zhang, you...... How do you know?"
Luo Lie actually guessed, and when he heard the other party admit that his surname was Zhang, he could basically conclude that he was Zhang Taixu.
The middle-aged man said: "There are many people surnamed Zhang in this world, you must be guessing randomly, right?"
Luo Lie said: "Not only do I know that your surname is Zhang, but I also know that you are Mr. Zhang Taixu." ”
The middle-aged man called out his real name when he heard him, his eyes returned to a clear color, and he nodded and said: "Yes, I am Zhang Taixu, you must have been sent by the Qing court, right? ”
Luo Lie guessed that the old demon woman in his mouth should be Cixi, and calculated from Prince Rui Yixun to North America to find Zhang Taixu, when they met at that time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet perished, and the Republic of China had not yet been established, Zhang Taixu came to the news of his suicide shortly after meeting Yixun, if it was counted at that time, Zhang Taixu should not know about the revolution that changed the dynasty in China.
Luo Lie said: "In Xia Luo Hunting, it has nothing to do with the Qing court, and the Qing court in Mr. Lord's mouth has long since died." ”
When Zhang Taixu heard him say this, he was skeptical in his heart.
Luo Lie then briefly told the events of the past few years, and after listening to it, Zhang Taixu took a long breath and said: "Since it should be like this, it should have been like this a long time ago, and the corrupt Qing court should have been destroyed long ago." ”
Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, this Zhang Taixu has lived from the Yongzheng time to the present, and he should be more than two hundred years old, although he can't be compared with demons such as Princess Longyu and the Lion King, but compared to normal humans, his lifespan has broken through the limit. For the past 200 years, he has been hiding in Tibet, not hesitating to cross the ocean, and finally came to this mysterious place to hide, because he realized his own crisis, as long as people know his secret, then he will become a treasure that everyone wants to capture, and everyone wants to get the secret of longevity from him.
Pifu is innocent and guilty, and the real reason why Zhang Taixu chose to hide in the world is this.
Although Zhang Taixu has lived in seclusion for many years, he still speaks fluently, which stems from his long-term insistence on practice. More than 200 years of life course let him read all the vicissitudes of life, full of human warmth, naturally also refined a pair of eyes to see through people's hearts, from the first time he saw Luo Hunt did not feel threatened, Luo Hunt gave him a good impression, after a period of talking, he even had a sense of affinity with Luo Hunt, and initially judged that Luo Hunt did not come to find the elixir of life.
Zhang Taixu finally asked the purpose of Luo Lie's trip: "Luo Lie, are you saying that this trip is not to find me?"
Luo Lie didn't 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, the corners of his lips couldn't help but show a hint of a knowing smile, because he hadn't communicated with people for a long time, Zhang Taixu's expression was a little stiff, and this smile looked particularly weird in Luo Lie's eyes.
Luo Lie has been wondering why Zhang Taixu came here, if there is no accident, it should be related to Prince Rui Yixun, the trip to North America before Yixun was killed, the real secret is not a safe, now it seems that the safe is just a cover he uses to confuse others, maybe it is Yixun and Zhang Taixu's trick.
But Zhang Taixu's involuntary smile just now was too weird, Luo Lie thought of a possibility again, Yixun released the news that Zhang Taixu had committed suicide by drinking bullets, and his intention was to make everyone think that Zhang Taixu was dead, and even he wanted to hide it from the world in this matter, and Zhang Taixu was forced to return to his homeland with Yixun, and the boat sailed here, Yixun happened to be harmed by his subordinates, and Zhang Taixu took this opportunity to get out, but why did he choose to hide here? Could it be that the route chosen by Yixun was influenced by Zhang Taixu? Or did Zhang Taixu already know about this place?
Zhang Taixu said: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”
Luo Lie said: "Mr. Zhang, I have a companion, she and I entered this tower with our front and back feet, but I can't see her trace, and I bother my seniors to inform her whereabouts. ”
Zhang Taixu said: "It is not an ordinary person who can find here, she is not an ordinary person. After a pause, he stared at Luo Lie and said, "Neither are you." ”
Luo Lie said: "Mr. Zhang is looking down, I am just an ordinary person." ”
Zhang Taixu sighed and said: "When an ordinary person is the best, an ordinary and mediocre life is the greatest happiness, everyone wants to live forever, but what can longevity bring you? Witnessing relatives and friends dying one by one, worrying all the time that others know your secrets, once the secret is exposed, it will become the target of others competing for hunting, if you know how lonely Changsheng is, you will not envy me." ”
Luo Lie said: "I have never thought of immortality, and I don't envy Mr. Zhang. ”
Zhang Taixu looked at Luo Lie, his eyes were full of incredulity, and after a while, he shook his head with a smile and said: "I also said the same thing to Yixun, and he also answered me like you, but he was duplicitous. ”
Luo Lie said: "I just want to find a companion and get out of here." ”
Zhang Taixu said: "Emperor Yongzheng wanted to live forever, he summoned the famous cultivators at that time to go to the Old Summer Palace to secretly alchemy the golden pill for him, in order to help us refine successfully, he provided a large number of secret books to us, before I came into contact with those secret books, I never believed that there would be immortality in this world." ”
