Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

[This chapter is a chapter that sorts out the stories about longevity. Some of them are speculations. Those who are familiar with this can skip it.]

In the depths of the vast universe, a mysterious meteorite streaked across the sky like a shooting star, bringing with it an unknown secret. It was a mysterious gift from a foreign land, an ultimate secret that could overturn everything. The world has undergone earth-shaking changes, like a butterfly effect, and the fate of countless people has been changed at this moment.

Several meteorites fell on several families, each with different powers and destinies.

The mother meteorite fell on the settlement of the Zhang family. The Zhang family was chosen to be the guardian of the ultimate secret, and their fate has been closely linked to this secret ever since.

The guardian needs to secretly eliminate certain impurities that do not belong to this world to ensure the smooth operation of the world.

The Zhang family and these families have an agreement that they will always guard this secret, and those who violate it will be punished. In order to protect this secret, they worked together to build a bronze door in Changbai Mountain to seal the ultimate secret. The Zhang family also went to the Changbai Mountain area to guard the bronze door.

This is a mission full of mystery and danger. The Zhang family must always be vigilant to prevent any potential threats. Not only do they have to face dangers from the outside world, but they also have to deal with possible betrayals from within. However, for the Zhang family, all of this is to protect the ultimate secret.

For this mission, the Zhang family received the gift from heaven, which gave them imperfect immortality, extraordinary martial arts and wisdom, and generations of rigorous training, enabling them to cope with any challenge.

It is also because of this that they cannot intermarry with outsiders and must preserve the purity of their bloodline as completely as possible to ensure that the mission can be passed on smoothly.

Although Zhang Qishan's grandfather, Zhang Ruitong, was the former patriarch of the Zhang family, his son, Zhang Qishan's father, married someone from another family and was expelled from the family according to the rules of the Zhang family.

Although the regulations are cold-blooded and ruthless, it is a helpless move to preserve the continuation of the bloodline to the greatest extent.

The piece that fell on Tamutuo in Qaidam was discovered by the Queen Mother of the West, and the secret of immortality was spied on by the Queen Mother of the West. In order to study immortality, the people of the Queen Mother of the West's country moved to Tamutuo and settled there.

The Queen Mother of the West is proficient in medicine. She likes to transfer some of the genes of animals into humans and conduct many alienation experiments, breeding many half-human, half-beast species.

In order to achieve immortality like a snake, the Queen Mother of the West conducted a large number of experiments and even used corpse-eating bugs as medicine.

But the result was surprising. The elixir of immortality made from corpse-bugs could actually produce immortal creatures.

However, due to the extremely toxic nature of corpse-eating bugs, even though their bodies are not dead, they will completely lose their self-awareness and eventually turn into monsters.

However, the meteorite jade brought an unexpected reward to the Queen Mother of the West. The corpse-eating pill wrapped in meteorite jade powder can delay the process of corpse transformation in people who have been poisoned.

If you take the corpse-eating pill and then enter the meteorite jade, you can use the meteorite jade to consume the toxicity of the corpse-eating insects and achieve immortality.

It was not until 1216 AD that King Wannu pretended to surrender to the Mongolian Empire and then moved eastward to establish the Dongxia Kingdom. King Wannu was also a race that achieved immortality through human-animal symbiosis.

The Wannu King and the centipedes coexist, rely on each other, and influence each other. Every time a Wannu King dies, the centipedes in his body will devour the corpse, absorbing nutrients while inheriting the memory of the deceased, and then enter the body of the next Wannu King, and this cycle repeats until the centipede dies.

As time went by, potential problems in this peculiar relationship gradually emerged.

As time flies, the slave kings gradually realize a worrying phenomenon: although this method of transferring souls is indeed effective, their own vitality and original memory have become increasingly fragile and weak after being passed down for more than ten generations. Each new transfer is like an insurmountable gap, making them drift further and further away from their former strength. And the ancient skills and wisdom that should have been engraved in their hearts are also like a candle in the wind, shaky and falling.

They began to realize that this symbiotic relationship was not a permanent solution.

Finally, in the early Ming Dynasty, King Wannu, who was at the end of his strength, realized that he was about to die. He was afraid that his body would be devoured by centipedes after his death, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to enjoy a grand funeral.

So he decided to take action. He asked someone to capture a Feng Shui architecture master in the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the master could solve this problem.

And this master is Wang Zanghai.

During this mysterious tomb-building process, King Wannu actually asked Wang Canghai to depict all of his experiences of more than ten lifetimes in the murals of the tomb.

At first, Wang Zanghai thought this was the story of every generation of the King of Slaves.

However, he soon discovered that there was only one imperial tomb in the Dongxia Kingdom, and that was the one he was building.

The astute Wang Zanghai began to string together the memories of these dozen lifetimes, and an astonishing secret emerged:

These dozen or so generations of King Wannu are actually the same person!

This secret shocked Wang Canghai deeply. In order to verify it, he decided to sneak into the bronze door to find the secret of immortality.

After the construction of the mausoleum was completed, Wang Canghai knew that his fate might be to become a burial object.

So, when King Wannu was about to send him in, when the guards were most relaxed, he secretly changed the password of the Ghost Seal so that it opened at the wrong time, killing a large number of innocent Dongxia people.

He escaped through the secret passage that had been dug long ago and returned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He explained everything to the emperor and received his support and praise.

Wang Zanghai began his plan.

Wang Canghai recruited all kinds of masters from the public, even some children, and trained them to become tomb robbers.

Thus, the Wang family was born.

While exploring the ancient tomb, Wang Canghai discovered that there seemed to be a force always monitoring and controlling him, which made him deeply confused and uneasy.

After his constant exploration and testing, he finally found the Northeast Zhang family hiding behind.

He discovered that this family was controlling the progress of everything and guarding a secret that had lasted for a thousand years.

It was also from this time that the Wang family regarded it as their family mission to overthrow the Zhang family and make public the secret that the Zhang family had sworn to guard at all costs, and they fulfilled this mission from generation to generation.

By the time of Zhang Qishan's generation, the Zhang family's bloodline was becoming increasingly thin, with only a few people left, and it was also a time of war. In addition, the Wang family was eyeing them covetously.

The Zhang family was soon on the verge of collapse.

Members of the Zhang family began to leave the family one after another in search of a chance of survival, and Zhang Qishan was one of them.

Zhang Qishan led several members of the Zhang family who had escaped from the northeast and headed south to Changsha, where they created a new force and joined the Nine Gates.

The remaining members of the Zhang family and the head of the Zhang family disappeared completely in the family changes, and no trace could be found.

The only branch of the Zhang family that is active in public today is the one headed by Zhang Qishan.

Lu Jianxun, who was sent over a while ago, was the first step taken by the Wang family to test Zhang Qishan.

However, Lu Jianxun, who was greedy and wanted to swallow an elephant, was not satisfied with being inferior to others, so he planned to collude with the Japanese, disperse the power of the Nine Gates, and bring down Zhang Qishan.

Compared with the unbreakable positions of other heads of the Nine Gates, the heads of the Huo family, Huo Sanniang and Chen Pi, are the first step of his plan.

In the end, he dug his own grave during the trip to the mine and stayed there forever.
