Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 700 It’s scary to think about it carefully

"You dare to act on your own initiative; you cannot be allowed to live—"

Seeing Ruqing's face filled with fear, coughing up blood, and deathly pale, Gao Dongxu was completely stunned. The next second, his figure flashed, and in the shocked gazes of Ruxin and A Ning, his right hand and right arm crackled with dazzling electric light.

"boom--"

A foul odor emanated from the intense heat of the lightning, and blinding arcs of lightning struck the evil child, whose entire body was emitting black smoke.

"squeak--"

Before the evil child could even scream, he was struck by lightning and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. He lay motionless, still crackling with electricity, and the black aura around him seemed to have been purified, dissipating completely and returning to its original bluish-gray color.

The Thunder Commander Seal on Gao Dongxu's hand continued to crackle with blue arcs of electricity, and although his hand was protected by spiritual energy, it still felt numb.

After putting away the Thunder Commander's Seal, Gao Dongxu immediately stepped forward to help Ru Qing, whose mouth was bleeding, up and gave her some healing water.

"Don't talk, just drink first—"

While drinking the healing water, Ru Qing gazed tenderly at Gao Dongxu, who was anxiously watching her.

After drinking the healing water, Ru Xin helped the much more comfortable Ru Qing to her feet. Gao Dongxu, his face grim, holding a peach wood sword, walked up to Xie Tong and said coldly, "A beast is a beast. You've only just advanced in cultivation, yet you dare to act on your own. You cannot be allowed to live—"

As she spoke, she activated the peach wood sword with spiritual energy. Just as the sharp golden sword light was about to slash across the evil child's neck, Ru Qing suddenly stopped her, saying, "Forget it, spare its life. I just felt disgust and hostility towards it. Perhaps it sensed that hostility and attacked me. Keeping it alive might come in handy later—"

Ah Ning frowned and said, "An evil spirit is still an evil spirit. We can't let it advance any further. Let's keep it alive for emergencies. If it gets out of control again, kill it immediately."

Hearing what the two women said, Gao Dongxu also put aside his murderous intent. To be honest, given the new abilities that Xie Tong had shown, he was really reluctant to kill him.

However, he also understood that a good tool is one that can be completely controlled by evil children. If it gets out of control even slightly, it means that the tool has become a double-edged sword, which can hurt others and may also hurt oneself.

However, that thunderous strike just now must have shattered the evil child's leapfrog advancement, and the essence of King Mu of Zhou that he absorbed this time was probably mostly destroyed.

It seems we need to refine it again. The previous method was too simplistic and crude, and it didn't fully control the evil child.

“Alright—” Gao Dongxu took out a coffin, protected his hands with spiritual energy, put the unconscious evil child into the coffin, closed the lid, and stored it in his spatial storage for the time being.

Gao Dongxu walked behind Wang Jianjun and the other eight men, patted each of them lightly to revoke their orders, and led them to the blood-soaked corpse that had been tightly bound with ropes and lay on the ground.

At this moment, the blood corpse looked lifeless, with only a layer of blood and bones remaining, making it even uglier.

However, Gao Dongxu knew that this blood corpse was actually more dangerous than it was now, because without nourishment, the corpse beetle king inside the blood corpse's head would soon crawl out.

With a flash of golden light, the peach wood sword severed the blood corpse's head. Gao Dongxu immediately had Ru Xin take out a glass specimen bottle from his backpack, put the blood corpse's head into the bottle, and put the cap on.

"Put the blood corpse away and take personal protective measures," Gao Dongxu said to Wang Jianjun and the others.

"Yes--"

One of them quickly untied his back, took out a body bag, put on a gas mask and leather gloves, and, along with another elite soldier with the same equipment, carefully put the blood-soaked corpse's body parts, which were bound together with ropes, into the body bag.

Gao Dongxu held a glass specimen bottle in his hand, looking at the hideous head inside, and was filled with emotion.

A monarch, seeking immortality, met such an end. One wonders what the Queen Mother of the West, still alive and consumed by love, would feel if she knew.

According to the setting of the Daomu Biji world, King Mu of Zhou is a typical scumbag, while the Queen Mother of the West is a typical love-obsessed woman. King Mu of Zhou obtained the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West and lived to be over six hundred years old, but not long after, he began to experience the side effects of immortality.

Fortunately, the corpse turtle pill given to King Mu of Zhou by the Queen Mother of the West was not a cheap imitation of the immortality elixir like the one Wang Zanghai made. People like Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling mutated within decades after consuming it.

Therefore, in order to stop the mutation, King Mu of Zhou, who had deceived and swindled money and women, had no choice but to go back to find the Queen Mother of the West and enter Tamutuo, which was the Queen Mother of the West's longevity laboratory. He had even prepared for war.

However, times had changed, and the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West was gone. King Mu of Zhou never saw the Queen Mother of the West again, but by bringing out jade figurines from the underground palace, he finally found a way to replace entering the meteorite.

This jade figurine was actually made by the Queen Mother of the West specifically for King Mu of Zhou, and placed in the room in front of her own underground palace. She arranged a lot of clues to indicate how to use the jade figurine, while she herself lay down in the meteorite and fell asleep.

It turns out that after waiting for hundreds of years, the Queen Mother of the West had no choice but to accept the fact that her lover would not return. However, she knew that King Mu of Zhou would return to Tamutuo for the sake of immortality, and she also knew that he would not be willing to enter the meteorite jade to stay with her. Therefore, she left a final way out for her beloved, and thus created the jade figurine to wait for King Mu of Zhou to come and take it.

King Mu of Zhou, having obtained the jade figurine, made various ingenious preparations to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan to be resurrected three thousand years later.

The most important thing is the executor. He needs a group of people with exceptional abilities who will not be forgotten by the flow of history. They need to hide in the shadows to start the plan that will allow him to be reborn three thousand years later.

Although this family may not really know what King Mu of Zhou's plan is, they have been forcibly drawn into this conspiracy by King Mu of Zhou. So he made this family use the so-called ultimate secret of the world so that it would not be submerged in the long flow of history.

These people know from birth that their lives are destined to be different from ordinary people, because the side effects of immortality also flow in their blood.

To ensure that someone would help him open his sleeping coffin three thousand years later, King Mu of Zhou did mostly tomb raiding. However, his core purpose was not the treasures inside, but to distribute a large number of clues in these tombs. He wrote this information into the Lu Yellow Silk.

Following the Zhou Dynasty's King of the Tomb, numerous feudal emperors engaged in tomb raiding, from Xiang Yu to Liu Bang, Cao Cao's tomb raiders, Emperor Wu of Han, and many more. This practice of burying vast amounts of wealth in one's own tomb after death ensured that tomb raiders would never disappear throughout history.

When tomb raiders find the exquisite box that King Mu of Zhou had carefully prepared for them in the tomb chamber and obtain a silk scroll from it, these tomb raiders will only think that there must be a great secret hidden in the silk scroll. They will protect it with utmost care and let it be passed down for thousands of years, while luring the important person, who is actually the most indispensable person in this plan.

Three thousand years later, following the original storyline, the person who fell into this trap is none other than Wu Xie, meaning that Wu Xie has fallen into a pit that was dug three thousand years ago.

King Mu of Zhou also carved a stone box with dragon patterns. Although the stone box looked simple, it was actually a very sophisticated synchronization code. King Mu used a part of a jade cocoon to make a small coffin, and then he killed a pregnant woman, took out her premature fetus, and put it into the jade cocoon.

Each change in the fetus inside the jade pupa causes a change in the hangar, so the fetus in this box will undergo the same changes as King Mu of Zhou in the ancient tomb.

King Mu of Zhou used completely random numbers to conceal the true meaning of himself and the box containing the substitute baby. When the numbers on the dragon-patterned stone box reach a fixed value, they will stop changing, and the stone box will be opened. Simultaneously, the coffin containing King Mu's jade pupa will also open automatically, marking the true and successful resurrection of King Mu.

After everything was ready, King Mu of Zhou buried his tomb in the mountain where Gao Dongxu is now. Before he died, he followed the instructions of the Queen Mother of the West, put on a jade cocoon, sat cross-legged under a tree, and began to molt in preparation for resurrection.

The Ghost Seal was also buried in the tomb, while the corpse beetle was used to guard the mausoleum. However, King Mu of Zhou did not foresee that all of this would be ruined by King Shang of Lu and Tie Miansheng.

They not only usurped his throne, but also turned this legendary monarch into a bloodthirsty gatekeeper.

As for the family chosen by King Mu of Zhou, it was the Zhang family. However, the Zhang family found the corpse box at the end of the Qing Dynasty and discovered that the baby inside had already died. In order to stabilize the Zhang family's faith, they decided to replace the baby with Zhang Qiling. However, due to the exposure by the Wang family, this plan spanning a thousand years still failed. So this is exactly what the saying means: "Success and failure both depend on tomb raiders."

In truth, the Zhang family had no idea who their true master had been for over three thousand years. They believed it was the Queen Mother of the West, but in reality, they were merely the guardians of the tomb in King Mu of Zhou's plan to resurrect him.

This was the imperial strategy of a legendary emperor, but he underestimated humanity's thirst for immortality.

Gao Dongxu strongly suspects that the so-called Iron-Faced Man is actually a member of the Zhang family who discovered King Mu of Zhou's plan to resurrect him. In order to achieve immortality, he defected from the Zhang family, put on the mask, and guided King Lu Shang to usurp the throne, thus ruining King Mu of Zhou's resurrection plan.

However, there was one thing Gao Dongxu couldn't understand. Since Wang Zanghai, such a big shot, had already been here, he should have also glimpsed part of the truth. Why didn't he destroy Tie Miansheng's resurrection plan? Instead, he rearranged the plan and pointed all the clues to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.
If the ultimate goal behind the bronze gate of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is the final step towards immortality, then Wang Zanghai, who has already achieved immortality but has suffered amnesia due to its side effects and forgotten his identity, wants to complete this final step. Despite his limited strength, he devises a plan to gather all the most skilled tomb raiders of the era to explore the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, help him open the bronze gate, and thus assist him in achieving his ultimate goal of immortality.

Thinking of this, Gao Dongxu felt a chill run down his spine.
