Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The Devil City outside the rainforest where the Queen Mother of the West Palace is located has been cleared by Zhang Qiling, but the things in the rainforest have not been touched much. Hei Yanjing'er, Jiang Xinxin and the other two took another route that no one had ever taken, so they bypassed Zhang Qiling's spies and defenses in the Devil City.

But this does not mean that Zhang Qishan has no defense against the rain forest where the Queen Mother of the West Palace is located. After dodging another lookout, Jiang Xinxin could not help but grit her teeth and said, "Where did Zhang Qishan get so many people? Wasn't the last cleanup thorough enough, and there are others who are in cahoots with Zhang Qishan?!"

The man with black glasses still remembers the severe crackdown more than 20 years ago, but how to say it, although a group of people were attacked and others were intimidated, the vacant places still needed to be filled by people. Now another 20 years have passed. Who still remembers the country’s strong actions back then?

Zhang Qishan may not have contacted the top management. He only needs to deceive the people at the lower level and those at the same level as him, and everything will go smoothly.

After entering the underground palace, Jiang Jiuri and Jiang Xiaoguan did not expect that the Queen Mother of the West had left a laboratory herself. Looking at the animals such as centipedes, centipedes and snakes soaked in unknown potions on the wall, the extremely precious crystal jars from thousands of years ago seemed extremely dirty.

But the man with black glasses wanted to act literary, and he sighed and recited a poem: "Eight steeds travel three thousand miles a day, why didn't King Mu come back? King Mu of Zhou was a man of talent, he could deceive a woman like the Queen Mother of the West."

Jiang Xiaoguan was amused by what Black Glasses said, "How do you know that both of them are not good people? All the rumors are just to cover up the longevity scheme they set up together?"

Black Glasses immediately became interested: "Hey, Mr. Jiang, what do you know? Tell us. This happens to be the territory of the Queen Mother of the West. Maybe the Queen Mother of the West is hiding in some shameful place and spying."

Jiang Xinxin was also very interested. Jiang Xiaoguan reluctantly spoke of his own speculation: "There have always been legends of ghosts and gods in the Central Plains. The king of the Zhou Dynasty called himself the Son of Heaven. King Mu of Zhou at least had some trust in the legend of ghosts and gods. Although he did not gain any benefits from his expedition to the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, he certainly brought a lot of trouble to Queen Mother of the West. So Queen Mother of the West probably brought up the topic of immortality to tempt King Mu of Zhou."

“The Central Plains is rich in resources, which is not comparable to the small countries in the Western Regions. Even if the Queen Mother of the West intimidated the surroundings and even made King Mu of Zhou suffer, he would not let go without paying a sufficient price. Therefore, the Zhang family later gained a holy infant who could live forever in a dragon-patterned stone box, and King Mu of Zhou took the corpse-eating pill and wore a golden jade suit made of meteorite jade.”

The Zhang family's records did not record the origin of the long-dead holy baby. After much verification, Jiang Xiaoguan could only roughly guess that the child must be the descendant of King Mu of Zhou or Queen Mother of the West, but the possibility of King Mu of Zhou's bloodline was greater. It was even possible that half of the child's bloodline came from the Zhang family.

The man with black glasses smiled and said to Jiang Xiaoguan: "I don't believe that King Zhou Mu didn't take any protective measures at all!"

Jiang Jiuri laughed, "King Mu of Zhou did have some protective measures, but it depends on whether they work."

Jiang Xiaoguan said, "Yes, King Zhou Mu originally wanted the Zhang family to protect the Holy Infant so that he could take over another body and be reborn when he woke up from the golden jade robe. But he didn't expect that the Holy Infant would not work. The Zhang family opened the dragon-patterned stone box in the previous dynasty, and the Holy Infant inside had already died. In order to maintain the Zhang family's faith and strengthen their cohesion, the core members of the Zhang family actually came up with a way to impersonate the Holy Infant."

Hei Yanjing'er understood that Jiang Xiaoguan might have come into contact with the fake Holy Infant, and it was even possible that he was the fake Holy Infant!

Black Glasses cursed the Zhang family in his heart for being so cruel. This matter was even more cruel than the previous emperor using him to conduct some longevity experiment!

Then why would Black Glasses, a victim, speak for the little emperor?

That was of course because the little emperor himself did not believe in immortality at all, and even hated practices like alchemy!

However, the young emperor wanted to act like he was indifferent to power and stupid to paralyze the old Buddha, so he could only listen to the instigation and temptation of his subordinates. Unexpectedly, the old Buddha was one step ahead and did not believe the young emperor's stupid appearance, and even forced the young emperor to take him, the most senior test subject, for the experiment immediately, so he suffered a great punishment.

And later on, the little emperor conferred him the title of Prince and allowed him to go back and reunite with his family.

But the Zhang family's secret selection of the Holy Infant was completely different in nature from his own case, and the risks that Jiang Xiaoguan, the person unfortunately chosen to impersonate the Holy Infant, had to bear were also greatly different.

Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri did not continue speaking. They waded through the underground waterway of the Queen Mother of the West Palace in silence and finally found the underground palace where Xuannv was guarding the gate.

At this time, Black Glasses jumped directly over the blood-sucking worms in the water and jumped onto the coffin covered by the blood-sucking worms. The change in gravity activated the mechanism above his head, and the arrow was released along with the pheasant's neck. Fortunately, everyone had good skills and quickly avoided the mechanism.

Black Glasses was still reluctant to get down from the coffin, and asked everyone with a smile: "Does anyone want to know who is lying in this coffin?"

Jiang Xinxin approached and used her spiritual sense to explore. There was no one in the coffin, just an empty coffin. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Black Glasses chuckle and say, "When I first came here, I guessed that either the West Queen Mother's confidant or the West Queen Mother's enemy was lying inside. But this time I don't think so. Maybe this thing was prepared by the West Queen Mother for King Mu of Zhou!"

The blood-sucking worms were unable to suck blood, so they still looked like dry vines. However, Black Glasses had seen what these blood-sucking worms looked like when they were full of blood. They were a deep pink color with a faint crystal glow. If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Black Glasses would have really studied it carefully.

Jiang Jiuri stepped forward and cooperated with Jiang Xinxin to clean out all the dried and dormant blood-sucking worms on the coffin, revealing the true appearance of the coffin. There was nothing on the front, but the sides were carved with many exquisite flower, bird, insect and fish patterns. The carving style was similar to that of other places in the Queen Mother of the West Palace, but this pattern was not the Queen Mother of the West's commonly used pattern.

Jiang Xinxin lost interest after taking a look. It was hard to tell who this coffin was prepared for. It seemed to be just a part of the mechanism in the stone chamber.

No one paid attention to the empty coffin here anymore. Everyone crossed the pool and entered the space behind. They saw a masked woman sitting cross-legged on a high platform. She was wearing a very gorgeous golden crown on her head.

In this empty stone chamber, the flower tree hairpins and tassels on the golden crown moved without wind. Jiang Xinxin could see that this woman had actually transformed herself into the core of the evil-suppressing formation. No wonder the Queen Mother of the West could only hide in the meteorite jade on the ceiling behind and dared not come out.
