Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Jiang Xinxin looked at Zhang Qiling, who had remained silent all the way with an increasingly solemn expression, and decided that it would be better to deal with the influence of the Queen Mother of the West on him as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there were so many people around at the moment that it was difficult for her to use many of her methods, and it would also be easy to alert the enemy.

However, Chen Wenjin gave a more precise explanation for the "it" that was mentioned along the way: "We don't know what the force that keeps urging us to act is. We can only guess a little bit in the constant confrontation. We don't know where 'it' came from. It even existed only in logic at the beginning. Because when we review many things, only by introducing an 'it' can we explain the cause, process and result of things."

"I personally think that this force should be people who have been pursuing immortality for thousands of years. As long as there are clues left and spied on by others, under the temptation of immortality, some people will automatically join in and force us nine sects to work for them."

This was confusing, and everyone related to the Nine Gates agreed with Chen Wenjin's words, but Jiang Xinxin felt that something was wrong and directly refuted: "I don't think that's the case. The 'it' you think of must be a force similar to the Nine Gates. Because you are too similar, and the other party is calculating without intention, you have the illusion that the other party is omnipresent and elusive."

Aning also agreed with what Jiang Xinxin said. After all, she had just listened for a long time. It seemed that this "it" was omnipotent and omnipresent, but in fact, it could be done as long as a few tongues were bribed in various forces. Not only was she skilled in this, but even the methods were taught by her boss.

Everyone in the Nine Gates was dumbfounded, but Xie Yuchen, who was not deeply involved, quickly accepted Jiang Xinxin's opinion. He also felt that the elders had experienced a special era and were overly suspicious, complicating simple matters.

Or, in other words, people who originally engaged in underground activities are twice as smart as others, or even more so, and they are accustomed to over-interpreting all simple things.

After the absurdity, the two old seniors, Jie Lianhuan and Chen Wenjin, suddenly felt that what the young Jiang Xinxin said made sense, but people never change their minds easily, because that often means denying their past.

Chen Wenjin was fine. After all, the most important thing right now was to find a way to curb the changes in her body, so she easily accepted the possibility that Jiang Xinxin mentioned. She turned around and warned the two juniors, Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen, "I don't know if I can see you again today. What Miss Jiang said today still depends on you to verify. But if the other party is really a force similar to the Nine Gates, it means that the Nine Gates have almost been infiltrated by the other party. No matter what you do, you must be more careful."

Jie Lianhuan walked in silence, and Zhang Qiling, who had unknowingly walked to the front, suddenly saw a familiar mark. Wu Xie temporarily forgot about what happened between Jie Lianhuan and Wu Sanxing. He leaned over to take a look and couldn't help asking Zhang Qiling, "Brother, this seems to be a mark you left behind. Have you been to the West Queen Mother Palace before?"

Zhang Qiling thought carefully and really couldn't remember anything, so he just shook his head.

The fat man said, "As long as it's the young man's mark, it will be fine. It means that we can at least follow the young man's mark to successfully find the Queen Mother of the West Palace."

They turned a lot of corners, and fortunately there were Zhang Qiling's marks, otherwise they would have to spend a lot of time exploring the way. There was some light underground but it was hard to feel the passage of time, so everyone relied on the feeling of their stomachs and physical exertion to determine the time.

They found a relatively large space to set up the tent. Jiang Xinxin couldn't continue to take out snake repellent to guard against pheasant necks and other underground insects, but Wu Xie and the others had already reached a tacit understanding. They secretly put their clothes outside the crowd, and finally everyone slept peacefully for a night.

The next morning, everyone noticed that the hands of their watches were becoming increasingly confused, and guessed that the Queen Mother of the West Palace was just around the corner. After walking for a long time, they finally let Zhang Qiling open a stone door.

Mops and others saw from afar through the light of flashlights that there were many terracotta warriors wearing armor and carrying weapons standing inside the stone gate. They quickly squeezed in, fearing that if they were a step late, their belongings would be taken away by others.

After everyone entered the room, the stone door behind them suddenly slammed shut. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm and no one thought of going back.

Zhang Qiling seemed to remember something when he walked here. He walked to the lamp tower on the side and touched it casually. He saw the lamp tower suddenly ignited with fire. Then the flames seemed to have life. Stars flew out of the lamp tower and lit up other lamps along the way. After a long time, the space the size of a football field was completely illuminated.

It was only then that everyone realized that there seemed to be a stone plate with a star map engraved on it in the middle of the hall, and some round planet-like objects were placed on it.

Above the star disk was a brand new alchemy furnace. Chen Wenjin exclaimed, "It's a suspended furnace! It's the suspended furnace that the Queen Mother of the West used to refine the elixir of immortality!"

Mop, who had been circling around the star map for a long time, heard that the thing on it was the cauldron used by the Queen Mother of the West to refine the elixir of immortality. He guessed that the planet-like thing on the star map must be extraordinary. He reached out and took a small red ball, opened it, and saw that there was indeed a pill-like thing inside.

However, his action caused a small accident. The row of armored soldier terracotta warriors closest to everyone suddenly took action. The bronze swords in their hands were not ordinary ones. For a moment, everyone was caught off guard by this sudden attack.

Aning immediately stood in front of Jiang Xinxin to guard against her, but after waiting for a long time, no human terracotta warriors attacked them. Even when the human terracotta warriors passed by them, they seemed not to sense them.

Aning soon noticed that there was another person, Chen Wenjin, who was not attacked by the terracotta warriors like them.

The fat man felt very wronged, "How can such an evil thing still have gentlemanly manners?!"

"Why do the three ladies seem to be ignored by them, and they only call on us grown men!"

Chen Wenjin looked at Jiang Xinxin and Aning. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he quickly clarified himself: "I was forced to take the corpse-eating pill, and I already have the smell on my body, so these human figurines will not attack me."

Mop and the others shouted for help and rushed towards Jiang Xinxin and Aning. Jiang Xinxin didn't care, but Aning was really disgusted with Mop and his group. She pulled Jiang Xinxin back to the star plate. She touched something with her backhand and bent down to take a look. She recognized a symbol that was similar to Zhang Qiling's mark she had seen before, so she quickly called everyone, "There is Zhang Qiling's mark here!"
