Under One Person: The Millennium Plan Exposed by Feng Baobao.

Chapter 116 Nine-headed Gu, the Zhang family's mystery of immortality
Hearing that the owner of the notebook was going to have fun, everyone couldn't help but feel curious.

What is the origin of this Zhang Ruitong?

It seems that their curiosity can be satisfied next.

After all, this is the dish prepared by Yakan. It would be really unfair if we still can't figure out Zhang Ruitong's origins.

Feng Baobao's words continued to ring out.

Trains in this era ran very slowly. It would take at least seven days and seven nights to travel from Shacheng to Mongolia.

There will be time to rest along the way.

[When passing through Dongshan Province.]

I contacted Yakan through the Cuisine Club's base here, and Yakan also quickly arrived using Fire Release and replaced the train's chef.

After years of hard work, Yakan's cooking skills have reached top-notch levels.

Using eight cooking utensils, Zhang Ruitong prepared a dish, pork stewed with vermicelli noodles, which was his hometown dish. After eating it, Zhang Ruitong was successfully controlled by the Asian magazine.

However, a minor hiccup occurred along the way. After Zhang Ruitong was controlled, the Qilin tattoo on his body transformed into a Qilin and began to fight against the remaining spirit of the snake god. This resulted in incomplete control. If he asked a very private question, he would not be able to answer it completely.

[I didn't expect that there are Qilin in this world. ]

After hearing this sentence.

Everyone was a little surprised.

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but speak in confusion.

"Qilin, is it the legendary auspicious beast?"

"I didn't expect that Zhang Ruitong and the family behind him actually controlled the so-called Qilin power."

Wang Ye, who was standing by, noticed the key information.

"Didn't Zhang Ruitong say his hometown dish is pork stewed with vermicelli?"

"Then my hometown must be in the Northeast without a doubt."

"And this so-called Qilin is most likely a spirit created by heaven and earth, and has been worshipped by the Zhang family for generations, which is why it lent its power to Zhang Ruitong."

Zhang Chulan was frowning at this moment.

"But this spirit was able to fight against the residual soul of the snake god. We have calculated that even one percent of this residual soul is equivalent to 40 Liu Kunshengs."

After hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Wang Ye and Taoist Yunlong, who were unaware of the situation, were a little confused.

Wang Ye couldn't believe it.

"Are you talking about the Liu Kunsheng who possessed Deng Youfu during the Luotian Grand Ceremony?"

Zhang Chulan nodded.

"Yes, that Liu Kunsheng!"

Wang also shook his head.

"I can't imagine how powerful a spirit with the strength of 40 Liu Kunshengs would be!"

The old Taoist priest suddenly remembered something at this moment.

"I remember now. The god that the Mu family had invited out before was a spirit called General Python."

"That python general can be said to be very powerful."

"Just like the demon god in the legend."

"I've also seen Liu Kunsheng, but he's nowhere near as good as General Mang."

Everyone was a little surprised to hear the old Taoist priest say this.

Are there so many powerful elves outside Shanhaiguan?
But come to think of it.

History is so long, who knows how many elves have been hiding from the world from ancient times to the present.

at this time.

Feng Baobao continued to speak.

I asked Zhang Ruitong about their family's affairs, but he wasn't very resistant to this matter.

[It is said that their family has guarded a secret for generations, but when asked what it is, Zhang Ruitong resists fiercely and is unable to give a complete outline.]

[I could only hear some words about immortality and bronze.]

Yakan told me that he had seen this situation before, that is, a restriction was placed on the body. If he wanted to know the specific situation, he had to break the restriction in his body.

Prohibition?

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but look at his master.

Is Tianshidu also a restriction?
……

Since there was no other way, I gave up asking Zhang Ruitong. After taking some of his blood, I had Yakan release his control over him.

[I want to study what's so special about Zhang Ruitong's blood.]

Zhang Ruitong had no recollection of what had happened before and continued to rob tombs. I, on the other hand, excused myself and settled in the nearby city of Jin.

[I have done some research on Zhang Ruitong's blood.]

[I discovered that Zhang Ruitong's blood is indeed different from that of an ordinary person. Even after being separated from his body for such a long time, it is still very active. I also discovered that Zhang Ruitong's blood contains much more longevity substances than the average person.]

[For this kind of thing, I thought of Daji, the great demon who lived for thousands of years.]

【If it's her, maybe she can help me solve my doubts. 】

……

When they heard the name Daji, Wang Ye and Taoist Yunlong were very confused.

"Why, could it be that the owner of this notebook also knows Daji?"

Seeing the two people's confused expressions, Zhang Chulan chuckled.

"Of course, it's normal that you haven't heard of this kind of notes and don't know about them. The owner of this note actually resurrected the legendary Daji."

"And this Daji is said to be the nine-tailed fox followed by the Hu family's ancestor."

"If nothing unexpected had happened, this Daji might still be in the Northeast."

After hearing this, Wang couldn't help but shook his head.

"This world is changing too fast, I can't keep up." "If even figures from myths and legends can appear, what else can't appear?"

Zhang Chulan laughed out loud after hearing this.

"If there were no notes left by the owner of this notebook, wouldn't we have been kept in the dark forever?"

The king also nodded.

"makes sense."

"It is better to live with clarity than to die."

at this time.

Feng Baobao continued to speak.

[At this moment, something unexpected happened: Zhang Ruitong suddenly died before getting on the train.]

[I personally went to examine Zhang Ruitong's body.]

[I discovered that the Qilin tattoo on Zhang Ruitong's body had disappeared, and the biomass in his blood was also disappearing rapidly, even faster than the blood I took from him.]

I contacted Asia Magazine about this matter, but they didn't know what was going on.

[Although I don't understand what exactly happened, I know that Zhang Ruitong's death must be related to me.]

[Out of guilt, I sought out Taoist Cui, the Taoist priest who wrote the list of disasters in Tianjin.]

[I want Zhang Ruitong to leave with peace of mind.]

……

"A list of disasters?"

This was the first time Zhang Chulan heard this statement.

"Master, do you know what this list of disasters is?"

The old Taoist priest spoke at this time.

"This list of disasters is a tradition and custom from the old times, also known as the "disaster paper," and is usually done by people in our Taoist sect."

"Come to think of it, the Tianshi Temple also had this skill, and I also wrote the list of disasters for others."

"That did add quite a bit of money to the incense offerings."

"The Book of Changes says: A family that accumulates good will surely have more blessings; a family that accumulates evil will surely have more disasters."

"This list of disasters is specifically designed to dispel the resentment accumulated after death."

"As for the contents of this list of disasters, they are very particular. It must clearly state the identity of the deceased, the specific time of death, the cause of death, when the disaster occurred, and when the burial took place. It must be written on a piece of paper and burned in the underworld."

"It's like a birth certificate today, it's the equivalent of a death certificate."

"It can make the dead live a smoother life down there."

Hearing that there are so many details, Zhang Chulan was also a little moved.

“This custom used to be quite good.”

"It would be a shame to give it up now."

The old Taoist priest nodded after hearing this.

"really."

"There's another way to use this list of disasters, which is to determine if this person died unjustly."

"For example, if you carry a coffin out of the city, you can't leave without a disaster notice. Moreover, the soldiers will open the coffin to examine it. If the disaster notice says that the person was burned to death, but the person was beaten to death, then we Taoist priests who wrote the disaster notice will also suffer the consequences and be sued for the murder."

Everyone was moved after hearing this.

There is a reason why some of the customs in the past came into being.

Feng Baobao continued to read the rest of the content.

……

[Due to the hot weather, corpses are prone to decay, so I discussed with the people from the Nine Gates and decided to burn Zhang Ruitong's body on the spot and transport the ashes back to Sand City.]

However, after Zhang Ruitong's body was cremated, many insects appeared in the ashes. These insects were not afraid of the flames at all, as if they had been parasitic on Zhang Ruitong since childhood.

Seeing these insects filled me with joy, because I knew clearly that they might hold the secret to the Zhang family's longevity!

When people heard about the insects that were not afraid of fire, the first thing that came to their mind was the poisonous insect.

These must be poisonous insects.

I just don’t know what kind of poisonous insect it is, it can’t be killed even in the fire.

……

After collecting the insects, I discovered that there were nine of them in the ashes, each with a different head shape, like a dragon giving birth to nine sons, each one unique.

[But the common feature of these insects is that they are all slender and worm-like.]

Although I've never seen one before, I had a vague feeling it was a poisonous insect. So after saying goodbye to the people from the Nine Sects, I used Fire Escape to return to the Five Immortals Sect.

[After Lan Ling identified it through the Gu Book, she confirmed that this was a type of Gu insect that was prevalent during the Tang Dynasty.]

This Gu is called the Nine-Headed Gu, and each of its nine heads is unique. Legend has it that it grants the inhabitant longevity and good health.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it.

Is this insect so good? It can make people strong and healthy and prolong their lives without any side effects.

……

[After research, I discovered that although this nine-headed Gu appears to have nine bodies on the outside, if it enters the human body, the nine bodies will merge into one and parasitize the human spine.]

[It looks like the Nine-Headed Monster from Journey to the West.]

News that I had brought the Nine-Headed Gu back to the sect quickly spread throughout the Five Immortals Sect. The sect didn't have any of this kind of Gu in stock.

[The Five Immortal Elders hope that I can hand this Nine-Headed Gu over to them so that they can research how to cultivate it.]

[Of course I didn't refuse, but I had a vague feeling that the Nine-Headed Gu's effect might not be as simple as just making people live longer.]

Out of curiosity, I set off for the Northeast, wanting to see what secrets the Zhang family was hiding.
