Tomb raiding: Scientists dissect the Queen Mother of the West

Xuan Nu slowly walked into the main hall and looked up at the Queen Mother of the West on the throne.

She had a vague idea of ​​why the Queen Mother of the West had summoned her.

After all, she had learned about the Queen Mother of the West's research on "forbidden women" and immortality during this period.

"The Mysterious Maiden pays her respects to the Queen Mother of the West."

The goddess knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed.

The Queen Mother of the West stared at her retreating figure and waved her hand:

Get up.

"You are my most trusted subordinate, there's no need for you to be so reserved."

"Mysterious Maiden, do you know why I summoned you here today?"

Xuan Nu shook her head:

"I am unaware."

Although there were already some guesses, as a loyal subordinate, one should not presume to guess what one's master is thinking.

Therefore, playing dumb is the best course of action at this time.

The Queen Mother of the West sighed and said in a deep voice:

"I am about to fall into a deep sleep, and this kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West needs someone to rule it."

"After much deliberation, I believe you are the most suitable."

She didn't feel comfortable leaving it to anyone else.

Xuan Nu has always been loyal to her and will surely manage the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom well for her.

Upon hearing this, the Mystic Maiden remained calm, not letting joy cloud her judgment.

"Queen Mother of the West, how long will you be asleep?"

"I'm afraid I'm not confident I can manage the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West well."

She had little interest in ruling a country; she only wanted to stay by the side of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West raised her head, looking at the ceiling of the palace, her expression inscrutable.

"Three thousand years. This time, I will sleep for three thousand years."

Xuan Nu's pupils contracted, somewhat incredulous.

Three thousand years is enough for an ordinary person to reincarnate thousands of times.

Will the Queen Mother of the West really wake up then?

Are you sure you won't never wake up from your sleep?

Moreover, she was no longer alive by then, and no one could have predicted how the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom would develop.

On the throne, the Queen Mother of the West sighed and continued:

"Three thousand years is indeed a very long time."

"But this is the only way to achieve immortality."

"The gods have said that they will return to the mortal realm in three thousand years to awaken me."

"Tell me, should I go into slumber?"

Should we give it a try?

Her sharp gaze fell on Xuan Nu.

These words were spoken both to the Mysterious Woman and to herself.

After all, even the Queen Mother of the West was somewhat confused and didn't know whether she should do this.

After thinking for a while, the mysterious woman finally spoke, feeling immense pressure:

"I don't know, but since the deity said that the Queen Mother of the West would be awakened in three thousand years, it should be true."

She dared not say anything more, fearing she might anger the Queen Mother of the West.

As for questioning the authenticity of the art of immortality, they dared not even mention it.

Although the Queen Mother of the West valued her highly, she would not show mercy once she became angry in this situation.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded:

"I also believe in the gods."

"After all, he had no reason to deceive me."

"Therefore, no matter what, I must give it a try."

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart. She asked Xuan Nu only to make her thoughts more firm.

No one can refuse or resist the allure of immortality.

Even if she were the Queen Mother of the West, she would be no exception.

At this moment, Xuan Nu's back was soaked with sweat, and her nerves were on high alert.

She felt that talking to the Queen Mother of the West was more tiring than a day of training.

She was afraid that she might accidentally say something she shouldn't and anger the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West stood up and walked to the Goddess of the Mysterious Woman:

"After I fall into slumber, you must manage the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West well."

"And instruct future generations to keep an eye on the news of the deity, and if he descends to the mortal realm again, invite him back to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West."

"The Zhang clan will guard my tomb; you don't need to make things difficult for them."

She paused, then reached out and patted Xuan Nu's shoulder:

"No one else is allowed to get close to the sacred stone."

"And don't let outsiders know about its existence."

"This is the key to my achieving immortality; it cannot be lost."

Xuan Nu nodded heavily:

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother of the West, I understand."

The two then chatted for several more hours until nightfall, at which point the Queen Mother of the West finally allowed Xuan Nu to leave.

Then, the Queen Mother of the West sent someone to invite Qi Mo over.

…………

Led by a maid, Qi Mo entered the palace and sat in his familiar seat.

The Queen Mother of the West looked at Qi Mo, then at the maid, and said:

"You may leave now. I have something to discuss with the God."

"Yes, Queen Mother of the West."

The maidservant bowed respectfully and then quickly left the palace.

Seeing that only she and Qi Mo remained in the hall, the Queen Mother of the West slowly spoke:

"My Lord, I plan to take the Corpse Beetle Pill tomorrow and then enter the Divine Stone to sleep."

"During my slumber, the Zhang clan will, as agreed, guard my tomb."

She looked at Qi Mo, her expression somewhat complicated:

"I only hope that three thousand years from now, the divine being will descend upon the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West as promised and awaken me."

This is why she sought out Qi Mo.

I want to get a definite answer.

And Qi Mo did not disappoint her, giving her the answer she wanted:

"Three thousand years from now, I will surely descend upon the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West."

The Queen Mother of the West smiled:

"Very well, with the assurance of the divine being, I can now peacefully fall into a deep sleep."

"Tomorrow, I request that Your Majesty the Gods accompany me into the Divine Stone to witness my first step toward immortality."

Qi Mo nodded, suppressing his excitement, and said seriously:

"sure."

"The powerful divine energy contained in this divine stone, combined with the medicinal effects of the Corpse Beetle Pill, will transform your physical body over three thousand years."

"At that time, you will gain immortality."

We've been tricked, we've been tricked.

Once you fall into a deep sleep, I'll leave this wretched place.

Then he went to the Kingdom of Wannu to deceive the second immortality test subject.

It must have been tough, acting alongside this old hag for so long.

Thinking of this, Qi Mo's lips curled up slightly, as if he was happy for the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes held a look of anticipation, yearning for immortality a thousand years from now:

"I hope everything is as the deity has said."

Of course not!

[A thousand years from now, you will be dissected]

Moreover, it was dissected by the god you trusted most.

Believing in charlatans will not end well.

[Especially since this charlatan is also a perverted and cruel scientist]

Qi Mo ignored the system and continued to deceive the Queen Mother of the West:

"After you fall into a deep sleep, I will use my magic to protect your body."

"You don't need to worry about being interrupted along the way and thus failing to achieve immortality."

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes lit up, and she said gratefully to Qi Mo:

"My lord, I'll have to trouble you then."

With the protection of the divine power, she will surely be able to safely pass through three thousand years.

It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she has a good chance of achieving immortality.
