Generations of Tomb Guardians

The gate to the village was opened from the inside, and an elderly man with a full head of white hair, who looked to be in his sixties, slowly walked out.

His steps were steady, not like someone in their sixties, but rather like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

In fact, the Zhang clan chief is over 160 years old this year, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a living god.

After all, very few people in this era can live to be sixty.

He looked at Qi Mo, his expression changing from disbelief to shock, and then from shock to awe.

"God, the gods have truly descended upon the Zhang clan's territory."

"Clan Chief Zhang greets the Divine Lord."

Having lived his whole life, this was the first time he had ever seen a legendary deity, and he was incredibly excited.

They wish they could revert to their ancestral form and become like monkeys, making "ooh ooh ooh" sounds.

[Clan Chief Zhang's Shock Level +5000]

[Zhang clan members' shock level +500]

…………

Qi Mo was secretly overjoyed as he watched the shock value on the panel increase, but he remained outwardly calm.

He waved his hand:

"Rise. I have come to the Zhang clan's territory to discuss matters with you."

Upon hearing this, the Zhang clan chief's eyes lit up. He had something to discuss. It turned out that the deity would be staying temporarily in the Zhang clan's territory. This was good news.

Although they didn't know what the deity wanted to discuss, it was definitely beneficial to the Zhang clan.

Thinking of this, he quickly made a gesture of invitation:

"My Lord, please, let's go to the conference room and talk this over."

Qi Mo nodded and followed the Zhang clan chief to the conference room.

Beside her, the Queen Mother of the West, who had been ignored all along, felt extremely aggrieved.

She's such a powerful queen, how could these people not see her?

She strongly suspected that the Zhang clan members were blind.

Before long, Qi Mo, the Zhang clan chief, and the Queen Mother of the West entered a large house.

The others stood guard outside the door.

This house is very large, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

The roof is covered with thick thatch, and the walls are made of sturdy mud, so that neither wind nor rain can destroy this big house.

For the time before the park, this house-building technology was considered very advanced...

The Queen Mother of the West looked around curiously, marveling at how extraordinary the Zhang clan was.

Legend has it that the Zhang clan was blessed by the gods, which is why their lifespan is three to four times that of ordinary people.

Whether this is true or not remains to be seen.

She stared at the Zhang clan chief and smiled slightly:

"I am the Queen of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom. I have come here today to make a deal with you."

The Zhang clan members were somewhat confused. Wasn't it supposed to be that the deity had something to discuss with them? How did it turn into the Queen Mother of the West wanting to make a deal with them?

He politely bowed:

"Respected Queen Mother of the West, what business do you wish to discuss with me?"

As he said this, he glanced at Qi Mo out of the corner of his eye.

He knew that the fact that the Queen Mother of the West and Qi Mo would come together meant that the two had a close relationship.

However, he would prefer to cooperate with the gods rather than with the Queen Mother of the West.

Because he was old, his body was aging every day, and death was getting closer and closer to him.

He didn't want to die; he wanted to live on in this world forever, and the gods would surely help him fulfill this wish.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch, and he understood that the gods wouldn't help him for free.

But the Zhang clan's territory didn't have anything that would interest the gods enough to be used for trade...

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.

The Queen Mother of the West tapped the table:

"Although the Zhang clan members live longer than ordinary people, they will eventually die one day."

"Immortality is impossible."

The words "immortality" made the Zhang clan patriarch's eyes widen and his breathing become somewhat rapid.

What did the Queen Mother of the West mean by that?

Could it be that she has mastered the art of immortality?

Was it a gift from the gods?

For a moment, his thoughts were in turmoil, and his gaze towards the Queen Mother of the West was unfathomable:

"What do you mean by that?"

The Queen Mother of the West glanced at Qi Mo and smiled:

"I have obtained the secret to immortality from the gods."

Qi Mo did not deny it, indicating that it was true.

The Zhang clan patriarch's pupils contracted as he tried to remain calm, but his rapid breathing betrayed him.

"The secret to immortality?"

The Queen Mother of the West nodded:

"Yes, you must also yearn for the secret to immortality."

"After all, at your age, you don't have many years left to live."

She believed that no one could resist the allure of the secret to immortality.

Therefore, the Zhang clan chief will definitely cooperate with him.

Of course, she wouldn't actually give the Zhang clan chief the secret to immortality; she would only pass on a portion of it to him.

A thousand years later, if the gods awaken her as promised, then the Zhang clan chief will be useless, and the promise will no longer need to be kept...

The Zhang clan chief stared into the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West:

"Would you be willing to pass on the secret to immortality to me?"

"Of course, I just need you to do one thing."

"What's wrong?"

The Queen Mother of the West took in all of the Zhang clan chief's expressions and sneered inwardly.

He was indeed someone who couldn't resist the temptation of immortality.

But this was exactly what she wanted.

Such people are easier to manipulate.

Next, she recounted everything about protecting the Queen Mother of the West's palace and the meteorite jade, without missing a single detail.

Of course, she kept most of the matters concerning immortality a secret.

He only revealed a little information to the Zhang clan chief.

Qi Mo watched the two old foxes' exchange without saying anything, but he had already secretly set his sights on the Zhang clan patriarch's physical body.

He wouldn't let go of anything that had research value.
