Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 162: Ghost Gate and Recruitment Hall

Wu Mian seems to have some other purpose in refining the elixir, but it is not something that can be done in two or three years to gather the ingredients of the elixir in the longevity formula. When Xu Fugui was a great alchemist, all the treasures of the alchemist class were used by him. Even so, not many elixir have been refined, let alone an alchemist like Wu Mian wandering around. After seeing the hopelessness of alchemy, Wu Miancai finally set off to find the location of the next map under the persuasion of returning home.

More than a month later, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui appeared in Shouchun, the capital of Huainan. Two months ago, King Liu Chang of Huainan was deposed and died tragically in the sky prison of Chang'an City. The throne was inherited by his son Liu Xi (in the official history, the king of Huainan is Liu An). Although he has just experienced a great change, there is no strange scene in Shouchun City.

The three of Wu Mian were not in a hurry to stay at the hotel, and the three of them went straight to a restaurant. Called a table to eat, and before the dishes were ready, Wu Mian and Xiao Ren San were already like the wind and clouds, and the dishes that came up were seen to the bottom in a moment. Gui Bugui ate a few mouthfuls, and it was considered to be accompanied by the big and small two for a few times. Seeing the two of them eating like starving ghosts, the old guy said: "Isn't it because I haven't eaten for three days? As for starving like this? I told you a long time ago, I'll be fasting with the old man..."

"Have you seen ginseng inedia?" Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ren San's eyes widened. He poured himself a glass of wine and delivered the food that was squeezed in his throat. Then he continued: "You're immortal, don't stand and talk without your back hurting. We'll eat you next time if you don't have anything to eat. Anyway, as long as you don't die, you'll still be able to grow meat. One thigh is enough for us. Have you eaten for two days?"

The last sentence was said to Wu Mian who was beside him. After swallowing the food in his mouth, Wu Mian glanced at the still smirking return, and after seeing his orange peel-like skin, he shook his head. He shook his head and said, "Too old, no appetite..."

These three people had arrived in Shouchun half a month ago. According to the map that Xu Fu left to Wu Mian, their destination was Wangtian Mountain, 30 miles away from Shouchun City. Because several peaks on this high mountain are soaring into the clouds, it is named Wangtian Mountain.

According to Xu Fu's mark on the map, the place they are going is somewhere on the Wangtian Mountain. But I don't know if Wu Mian's memory has gone wrong after so many years. The three of them wandered around the mountain for more than half a month, but did not find the entrance in Xu Fu's map. Even Xiao Ren San didn't find places like underground palaces and dark caves underground. The food they brought was eaten ten days ago, but Wu Mian and Gui Bugui didn't give up. By slaughtering wild beasts and wild fruits on the mountain until three days ago, the beasts on the mountain did not know where to hide in the last three days, and not even a mountain rat could be seen.

Wu Mian and Xiao Ren San couldn't hold on for three days. The three talents came down from Wangtian Mountain. At that time, one big and one young were hungry and crazy, and they entered Shouchun City using the escape technique. A table for ten people is eaten, and this one big and one small is considered to be slowed down. After eating, Wu Mian asked for pen and ink and blank bamboo slips. On the bamboo slip, he drew the map that Xu Fu had him memorize, and then called the old shopkeeper over to the restaurant. Ask him to identify the location in the painting.

The old shopkeeper is in his fifties and is a native of Huainan. Three generations have lived in this Shouchun City. After looking at the map drawn by Wu Mian, the old shopkeeper smacked his mouth and pointed to the location on the map and said, "It's rare that you outsiders know this place. We locals call this place Ghost Gate..."

Hearing that the old shopkeeper could tell the origin of the map, Wu Mian and the three of them saw hope. It will appear, and it doesn't necessarily appear anywhere. Our ancestors have said that this is the gate of **** leading to the underworld. Every 30 years, the gate of the gate will be opened, and the gate will be closed after the lone and wild ghosts are contained. , the next time you open it will be 30 years later. Little old man, I was unlucky 30 years ago, and I even saw the gate of **** close the door with my own eyes. Right at the place you painted, I was scared to pee my pants, but next time this I don't know where the gate of **** is."

"Thirty years..." Wu Mian took a deep breath, and glanced at the back after returning. The old guy suddenly thought of something. His face was a little tangled and he said to the old shopkeeper, "You said that you caught up with the last time the gate of **** was closed, so it should be a few years before the gate of **** opened again this time?"

The old shopkeeper smacked his lips again and said, "It was a coincidence when our old Huainan King was abolished in the capital last month. This time, the gate of **** has been closed for nearly a year, and it has never been closed. Last month, Feiqi came to announce the mourning of the Spring Festival. On that day, someone saw that the gate of **** was closed. At that time, a passing master warlock said that the gate of **** has not been closed for so long, and we are the old King of Huainan..."

"The next time the gate of **** will open again will be thirty years later..." After listening to the old shopkeeper's words, Gui Bugui's eyes were also a little straight. Most of the nine maps that Xu Fu left to Wu Mian have already gone, and the thing that broke his seal is where a certain map mark is at the back. The further back a few maps are, the greater the hope of the old guy recovering his spells. I thought it was right in front of me, but the old shopkeeper's words delayed his hope to 30 years later.

Although almost all three of them are immortal people, but the fruit that is about to be eaten, suddenly tells you that it will take 30 years to pick it, and when the fruit is ripe, it will not necessarily be picked by anyone. . Moreover, after the spells stored in the body are exhausted, it is a question whether they can survive the past 30 years when they encounter their former enemies.

However, the three of them still had a bit of luck, and after the checkout came out of the wine shop. They also found seven or eight local elderly people in Shouchun City one after another, and let these old people identify the map drawn by Wu Mian. The answers they got were almost exactly the same as what the old shopkeeper said. After asking the last old man, the three of them had completely broken their minds.

Finding the location of the map is thirty years later, but it's getting dark now. After the three of them found an inn and stayed there, they discussed whether there was any other way to enter the legendary gate of hell. The three of them found the largest inn in Shouchun City and stayed there before dark. For the convenience of accommodation, when recording the roster, Gui Bugui and Wu Mian both used their identities as alchemists.

After dinner, Wu Mian and the three returned to their room. Wu Mian and Gui Bugui discussed ways to find Guimenguan, but they didn't say a few words. There was a sound of someone knocking on the door, and then the innkeeper said outside the door: "Two alchemists, an official from the palace has come to ask two questions. Please open the door if it is convenient, and they will leave after they ask about it in a few words. .

Wu Mian was already in vain after being locked by this ghost gate for more than half a month. According to his temper, when he was about to choke the person outside the door back, he did not return but agreed with a smile, and then the old guy walked over slowly and opened the door. I originally thought that the last night of Chang'an City was going to be repeated, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper to walk in with two middle-aged men dressed as civil servants.

The old shopkeeper gave Wu Mian and Gui Bugui a small gift, and said with a smile: "These two are the officials of our Huainan Palace, and they heard that an alchemist master came to stay in our shop. As usual, ask the two master alchemists something, a few words will not delay the rest of the masters."

It seems that the shopkeeper's posture, such a thing has not been done once or twice. However, the two officials of the palace were even more respectful than the shopkeeper in their attitude towards Wu Mian and Gui Fugui. After the two of them gave a big ceremony, they said to the two alchemists in front of them: "The two alchemists don't know something, our family, His Royal Highness the King of Huainan, has set up a recruitment hall today, and invites cultivators from all over the world to cultivate together to become immortals and achieve Taoism. If the two master alchemists don't dislike this technique, can they move to our recruitment hall?"
