Chapter 220: Heavenly Gate Vault
After eating, Jiang Xun hid back in his room.
The words of the old man Su Xue sound very simple and easy to understand.
But only after Jiang Xun listened to it, did he know the philosophy contained in it.
Compared with his father, he lacks a domineering spirit from the inside out.
As Su Xue said, it is a kind of domineering that gives up oneself.
Not everyone is able to do their own thing without distractions.
Because in terms of character, this is a selfish character, which will be spurned by people.
But Su Xue's words allowed Jiang Xun to open the door to a new world.
At the same time, it also added a strong sense of belief to Jiang Xun.
With such a family, how can he have reason to be afraid?
No plans for the next step should be lost!
The first thing Jiang Xun needs to do is to familiarize himself with the participants of this God of War Conference through the information sent back by Nangong Qiuyan.
As the old saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Although Jiang Xun doesn't need to work hard to deal with the essentials of the countries, in order to do his best, Jiang Xun needs to be familiar with the forces of all parties at this time!
Otherwise, he is not domineering, but reckless.
……
Heaven's Gate.
Located outside the southwest border of the Dragon Kingdom, due to the limited conditions in ancient times, its sect station was built on the mountain.
In a lush mountain forest, the station of Tianmen is hidden in it.
Although after thousands of years of development, Tianmen has also kept pace with the times and purchased a lot of modern equipment in the sect, but in general, Gongsun Wuji is still a person from the period of the first emperor.
No matter how much he keeps pace with the times and accepts new things, he will not make Tianmen nondescript.
Therefore, in addition to renovating some hardware facilities, the entire Tianmen station is still filled with a quaint atmosphere.
If today's sect grows and grows, there are quite a few people in the sect.
As soon as Jiang Zetian and Gongsun Wuji came back, a large number of people came out to salute An.
"You guys go down and do your own business!" Seeing that there were more and more people saluting, Gongsun Wuji had to stand up and scold.
Something is wrong with his current immortal body, don't look like a nobody now, but once he has a seizure, he will lose consciousness!
The most terrifying thing is that he himself doesn't know when the hidden disease on his body will occur!
Therefore, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Gongsun Wuji now needs to use the shortest time to get the elixir of life in the secret vault!
"Great Elder, Sect Master, what's wrong with Madam?"
The sharp-eyed people found Chen Ruoxuan in the crowd with a very unnatural expression, and immediately asked curiously.
They were well-intentioned, but what they faced was Gongsun Wuji's gloomy expression:
"If you shouldn't be asking, don't talk too much!"
Seeing Gongsun Wuji's gloomy expression, everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Jiang Zetian shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"If you let the entire Heavenly Gate know that you kidnapped the Sect Master's wife for the elixir, what do you think will happen?"
"What will happen? To be honest, the old man didn't know and didn't want to know, but the old man guessed that if more people knew that the elixir of life was real, I am afraid that not only Tianmen, but even the whole world would be in a mess! ”
Gongsun Wuji replied,
"So, all you can do now is to open the secret vault and take out the elixir for the old man, so that the old man can guarantee that the secret of the elixir will not be spread!"
"You've lived for thousands of years, so you're no stranger to elixirs. You know it's a poisonous thing, why do you want it so much? Jiang Zetian asked puzzled.
Ever since Gongsun Wuji had a showdown with him, this question had been haunting Jiang Zetian's mind.
He never understood that his once close partners would turn against each other for the elixir of life.
You know, although the elixir can increase people's lifespan, it can also restore people's skin and body to its most youthful appearance.
But as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison.
This sentence is not an exaggeration when applied to the elixir of life.
There are pros and cons.
After taking the elixir, while Gongsun Wuji gained immortality, his body also became no longer his original body under the effect of the elixir.
Otherwise, he would not have the ability to rely on medicine, and would look for the elixir of life every once in a while, in order to prolong his life and temporarily alleviate the hidden diseases of his immortal body.
It's just that this time, he met Jiang Zetian, who was unwilling to help.
Jiang Zetian, who has been the master of the Heavenly Gate for twenty years, has long known the secrets in the secret vault.
Jiang Zetian knew that thousands of years had passed, and it was not the first time that Gongsun Wuji had taken the elixir.
Almost after he supported each of the sect masters to ascend to the throne, he would ask for new elixirs from the door masters who could enter the secret vault from time to time.
Only this time, the time he asked for was a little earlier than Jiang Zetian expected.
Come to think of it, taking the elixir many times not only made Gongsun Wuji's body dependent on medicine, but also made him resistant to medicine.
A pair of elixirs of life, for an old man who has lived for thousands of years, is already a palliative rather than a cure.
There is no reason why Gongsun Wuji should not know this truth.
But he still went his own way, and regarded the elixir as his life-saving straw.
"You don't know what the old man has endured over the years!" Gongsun Wuji said with a hideous expression,
"It's true that this elixir is a poison, but for the old man, it is also an antidote!"
"It's only been twenty-eight years since you last took the elixir...... Have you ever wondered how much time you can manage after taking the elixir this time? Jiang Zetian asked with a solemn expression.
"More on that later! The old man just wants to live in the moment now! Gongsun Wuji said angrily.
Jiang Zetian's words, he didn't know.
But he couldn't help it.
Although it is said that thousands of years have made him look down on life and death.
Even, he has 'committed suicide' more than once.
But because the elixir changed his physique, he gained an immortal body.
Every suicide ends in failure.
Over time, he didn't want to kill himself.
I don't want to suffer the pain of the elixir anymore.
The only way is to find the master of the Heavenly Gate Gate to enter the secret vault every time the hidden disease recurs, and help him get the elixir of life and relieve the pain in his body.
Since you can't die, don't live in pain!
Seeing that Gongsun Wuji felt like he was enchanted, Jiang Zetian sighed helplessly and shook his head.
It is unrealistic to try to persuade Gongsun Wuji to give up the elixir of life.
"Stop the ink, go to the vault!" Gongsun Wuji urged.
Jiang Zetian had no choice but to lead the way in front.
The scenery of Tianmen is actually good, and many important buildings are built according to the topography.
After a detour, the group came to a valley.
In the valley, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, the vegetation is luxuriant, and it is a vibrant scene.
Among them, there are many types of flowers and plants that are not available in the outside world.
This is the medicine valley that has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of Tianmen.
Here, many precious medicinal herbs that have become extinct in the outside world grow.
But the crowd apparently didn't care about that.
Under the leadership of Jiang Zetian, everyone came to a cliff in the depths of the medicine valley.
In one corner of the cliff, a dark cave emerges silently.
When everyone got closer, the originally dark entrance of the cave suddenly brightened, illuminating the corridor in the cave very transparently.
Su Chuan's eyes widened.
He had never seen a device that could shine without relying on any modern facilities.
This looks even more magical than the Night Pearl!
"Open it!" Gongsun Wuji pointed to the entrance of the cave and ordered Jiang Zetian.
When Su Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Gongsun Wuji suspiciously.
The cave is illuminated, and the view inside can be described as a panoramic view, although the passages in the cave wind downward, but the naked eye does not see anything closed or blocked.
Open it?
What to open?
Jiang Zetian and Gongsun Wuji didn't explain too much, but they proved Su Chuan's loneliness with their actions.
I saw Jiang Zetian walk to the entrance of the cave, take out a door master token from his arms, and put it in a natural pit at the edge of the cave.
Then, he bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it.
In the next moment, the entrance to the cave was once again brilliant.
The light was dazzling, piercing everyone's eyes.
However, the blinding light did not last long, and soon softened.
Su Chuan hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at them curiously.
I saw that the entrance of the hole, which originally had nothing, seemed to be covered with a halo at this time, and the halo flickered with ripples, like a portal in a science fiction movie.
"You are also the Great Elder of the Heavenly Gate, and you have guarded the Heavenly Gate for four or five thousand years, do you want to go in with me to see what this Heavenly Gate Secret Treasury looks like?"
After opening the secret vault, Jiang Zetian thought about it and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Gongsun Wuji's face became ugly:
"Humph! You know that the ban at the entrance of this cave is aimed at the old man, why do you want to stimulate the old man? ”
"I'm just thinking that if you want the elixir in the future, you can go in and get it yourself, so as not to threaten me every time...... I'm busy, okay? Jiang Zetian said with a smile.
Ever since he had a falling out with Gongsun Wuji, Jiang Zetian has enjoyed seeing Gongsun Wuji deflated.
"Xiao Chuan, you follow in! Get the medicine and come out! Gongsun Wuji turned his head and ignored Jiang Zetian's embarrassed expression, and said to Su Chuan.
When Su Chuan heard this, he was overjoyed: "Master, can I go in?" ”
"Naturally! This prohibition is only for teachers! Gongsun Wuji nodded, then looked sideways at Jiang Zetian,
"Door master, although Su Chuan is not your opponent, but Madam is in the hands of the old man, don't think about playing tricks! Hurry up and take the medicine out, we will hand it over with one hand and deliver it with the other! ”
"Let's go!" Jiang Zetian glanced back at Chen Ruoxuan, and after giving her a reassuring look, he went into the cave without hesitation.
"Master, then I'll go too!" Seeing this, Su Chuan hurriedly followed.
He was very curious about what it would be like to be inside this magical cave.
