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

Hearing this, the young man tightened his grip on the corner of Zhang Qiling's clothes and did not respond.

Seeing that the young man was still stubborn, Zhang Qiling frowned and said, "Cheng Ji, speak."

Cheng Ji buried his head in the god's neck and took a deep breath, as if doing so could replenish his energy.

"I understand." After a long while, the boy finally spoke. His voice was muffled and could not be heard through the cloth.

Even though there was reluctance in his tone, fortunately he gave a polite answer that satisfied Zhang Qiling.

But then, the boy timidly said, "Brother, why don't we go back? We don't want this thing anymore. I'm really scared."

He was really afraid that what the Queen Mother of the West said was true, and he was really afraid that because of his reckless action, something might happen to the person next to him.

I’m really afraid of losing God.

Zhang Qiling raised his hand helplessly and stroked the back of the boy's head, saying comfortingly: "It's okay, is the stuff in there important?"

Cheng Ji said hesitantly: "Well...it's not that important, let's go, brother."

As he said that, the young man squeezed out of Zhang Qiling's arms, pulled him up and was about to walk out.

Zhang Qiling did not move, but stared at the boy steadily, as if he understood his thoughts at that moment, and said, "Leave, and then you can do it yourself?"

Cheng Ji dropped the hand that was holding Zhang Qiling's sleeve and said nothing.

Zhang Qiling sighed again, pulled the boy's hand back, and led him in the opposite direction of the exit: "It's okay, let's go together."

Seeing that he could not persuade him, Cheng Ji had no choice but to follow the god's will and followed.

After pushing open the last stone door, the imagined ferocious bloody corpse and thrilling mechanism did not appear as expected.

Inside the stone gate is a tomb chamber that covers a large area. The surrounding walls of the tomb chamber are inlaid with luminous pearls. Every load-bearing pillar looks extraordinary. The entire tomb chamber is magnificent and exudes a hint of luxury.

On the stone platform in the middle of the tomb, there were red pills one after another. They were not very similar to those inlaid outside. These pills looked more like the most successful batch of the Queen Mother of the West.

Cheng Ji felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He actually had a blood relationship with these pills, which made him feel inexplicably sad.

If his guess was correct, these red pills should be the elixirs of immortality refined by the Queen Mother of the West using the blood of his people.

Blood transfusion, blood transfusion again.

The Queen Mother of the West wanted a blood transfusion and designed to use the flesh and blood of Cheng Ji who lived three thousand years ago to help her with her cause of immortality, but when that failed, she killed his entire clan, causing thousands of them to perish in his place.

Zhang Qishan wanted to have a blood transfusion, so he ignored the casualties of the Nine Sects and used the hands of his followers to conduct human experiments on the gods for twenty years. He also risked his life to break into the Zhang family's ancient building and died inside.

Longevity is all for the sake of longevity.

And the opportunity he wanted was hidden in this stone platform.

The square stone platform seemed to be built only to place pills, but in fact it was built to cover up the secret passage inside the platform.

This secret passage does not lead to any room, but is a formation that leads to a separate space.

If he hadn't discovered that the space in the Qimen Bureau seemed to be wrong, he would have almost missed the good things here.

The "Shenyijing" records: There is a wine spring in the northwest wilderness. The water is like wine. The wine tastes as good as meat and is as clear as a mirror. There is a jade cup on it. When you drink a cup, another cup will come out. The spring is the same as the heaven and the earth, and it will never dry up. It is said that those who drink this wine will live as long as the heaven and the earth.

(There is a Jiuquan in the northwest wilderness. The spring water there is as sweet as fine wine, as delicious as meat, and as clear as a mirror. Place a jade cup on the spring water, and a new cup of spring water will flow out after drinking a cup. This spring water exists with heaven and earth and will never dry up. Some people say that if you drink this spring water, you can live as long as heaven and earth.)

However, this Jiuquan also has boundaries. Not everyone who drinks it can gain immortality. Only people with special bloodlines can do so. Ordinary people can at most prolong their lifespan by drinking it, and live a few more years.

The Queen Mother of the West is quite a capable person. She lived in symbiosis with a giant python that was almost transformed into a dragon, and developed a thing called the Corpse-Eating Pill. Still not satisfied, she actually set her sights on him, wanting to use his flesh and blood to refine an elixir of immortality, completely replace her ordinary blood, and then drink this cup of wine.

I have to say, that's a bit greedy.

It is not enough to live a few more years, but people actually desire eternal life.

Cheng Ji and the other person walked up to the stone platform and looked at the placement of the pills on the platform.

Cheng Ji couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

It's a star map again. Yang Wanjin really likes to display this thing. She has it here and in the Snake Swamp Ghost Town. She likes to use this kind of star map as the key to the secret room.

But the boy really didn't understand, so he turned around and asked, "Brother, do you understand this?"

If it was just Qi Men Dun Jia, it would be fine, but for this retro thing mixed with the Twelve Constellations, he really only had a vague understanding.

But Zhang Qiling should know it. Since he had been to the Queen Mother of the West Palace in Tamutu before Wu Xie blew up the stone table in the Queen Mother of the West Palace, he should know how to open it.

As expected, Zhang Qiling looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "Well, do you want to open it?"

Cheng Ji nodded and gave up his seat.

Zhang Qiling walked closer and stretched out his hand to pick up the pill. Seeing this, the young man hurriedly called out: "Wait, brother, wait a minute, don't touch it!"

Zhang Qiling turned his head and waited for the boy's next words with questioning eyes.

Cheng Ji used his mind to search in the space and found a pair of special gloves that he had obtained from signing in earlier. He took them out and handed them to Zhang Qiling, saying, "Brother, wear these. I'm afraid there's something on them. Since that old witch said that, she must have tampered with them. We better be careful."

Zhang Qiling took the gloves as he was told. Although he felt that wearing the gloves might not protect him from anything, he put them on anyway out of fear that the boy would worry.

After everything was ready, Zhang Qiling turned around and looked back at the star disk. Zhang Qiling raised his hand, picked up a star, and gently placed it in the correct position, not hurriedly, as if he was playing chess at home in his spare time.

Soon, the star map was completed!

The stone platform slowly sank under the operation of the mechanism, revealing a tomb passage that seemed not very spacious.

What was strange was that the light in the tomb was bright enough to illuminate a vague outline of the inside, but even if a tinder was thrown in, it was still pitch black inside and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
