Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The Imperial Master pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have remembered something. According to folk rumors, there is a strange man in the martial arts world named Guiguzi, who is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia and knows everything. Perhaps... perhaps he knows what the words on this jade slip say."

Chu Ze heard this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, "Gui Guzi? How come I have never heard of this person?"

"Guiguzi's whereabouts are erratic, like a dragon that is hard to find. He rarely shows up in front of the world. Therefore, not many people know him." The national teacher explained.

"Then...how can we find him?" Chu Ze asked anxiously.

The Imperial Master shook his head. "I don't know either. However, I heard that Guiguzi likes to appear in places where few people go. Your Majesty might as well send someone to those places to inquire."

Chu Ze nodded, "Okay! I will send someone to find Guiguzi right away!"

He immediately gave an order and sent a team of elite guards to the deep mountains and forests to look for Guiguzi.

At the same time, Chu Ze did not give up looking for other clues. He sent people to inquire everywhere, hoping to find any clues about the Kunlun Divine Mirror.

However, after a few days, the guards sent out still could not find any trace of Guiguzi, and there was still no progress in finding clues about the Kunlun Divine Mirror.

Chu Ze became more and more anxious. He felt like he was trapped in a huge net and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get free.

Just when he was about to despair, a guard suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, outside the palace... there is a man who calls himself Guiguzi asking to see you!"

Chu Ze was cheered up when he heard this, and he said quickly: "Quick! Please invite him in!"

A moment later, an old man wearing a gray robe, a bamboo hat and a hunched back was brought into the imperial study by the guards.

The old man slowly raised his head, revealing a wrinkled face. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"You...you are Guiguzi?" Chu Ze looked at the old man, his tone full of expectation.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "It is me."

Chu Ze quickly handed the jade slip in his hand to the old man, "Sir, I...I would like to ask you to help me interpret the words on this jade slip."

The old man took the jade slip and examined it carefully.

His brows gradually frowned.

"Sir, do you... do you recognize these words?" Chu Ze asked nervously.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this... the characters on it are not the characters of our Central Plains, but... the ancient characters of the Western Regions."

"Ancient characters from the Western Regions?" Chu Ze was stunned. "Western Regions... then... then doesn't that mean..."

He suddenly remembered that Kunlun Mountain was located in the Western Regions!

Could it be that what is recorded in this jade slip is really the clue about the Kunlun Divine Mirror?
"Sir, what...what is written on it?" Chu Ze asked anxiously.

The old man said slowly: "What is recorded here is... the secret of the Kunlun Divine Mirror..."

Chu Ze's heart began to beat violently.

He finally found the clue to the Kunlun Divine Mirror!
"Sir, please...please tell me, where is the Kunlun Divine Mirror...?"

The old man shook his head. "I don't know the exact location of the Kunlun Divine Mirror. However, this jade slip records a place... a place... a place called 'Death Valley'..."

"Death Valley?" Chu Ze frowned, "What is this place?"

The old man explained: "The Valley of Death is located deep in the Kunlun Mountains. It is a forbidden area full of danger and death. It is said that there...there is hidden the secret of the Kunlun Divine Mirror..."

Chu Ze couldn't help but feel a little hesitant when he heard this.

Death Valley…

Just hearing the name gives people chills.

Is he really going to that place?

What if...what if there is really danger there, what should he do?
However, for the queen and the Ming Dynasty, he had no choice!

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, "Okay! I...I will go to the Valley of Death!" The old man looked at him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "Your Majesty, let me remind you that the Valley of Death is full of dangers, you...you must not take it lightly."

Chu Ze nodded, "I...I understand."

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing," the old man suddenly said, "This jade slip also records one thing... one thing... one thing about the Gate of Eternal Life..."

"The Gate of Immortality?" Chu Ze was stunned. "What does the Gate of Immortality... have to do with... the Kunlun Divine Mirror?"

The old man smiled mysteriously, "It is said that the Kunlun Divine Mirror is... the key to open the door to eternal life..."

Hearing these words, Chu Ze's heart was shocked!
The gate to eternal life!

Chu Ze felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. The Kunlun Divine Mirror was actually the key to the door to eternal life! This... this was simply unbelievable!
He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Sir, what is this... this door to eternal life?"

Guiguzi stroked his beard and said slowly: "The Gate of Eternal Life, according to legend, is... the gate to another world. There... there is no birth, aging, sickness, and death, no pain or sorrow, only... only eternal life..."

Chu Ze's eyes widened, "Eternal...eternal life? Is there really...eternal life?"

Guiguzi smiled and said, "I don't know either. This is just a legend."

Chu Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

eternal life……

This has a fatal attraction to him.

As an emperor, he possessed supreme power and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

However, he could not escape the fate of birth, aging, sickness and death.

If...if there really is a door to eternal life, he...he must get it!
Not only does he want to achieve eternal life himself, he also wants the queen and his people to all... achieve eternal life!

"Sir, I...I have decided. I...I will go to the Valley of Death!" Chu Ze said in a firm tone.

Guiguzi nodded, "Your Majesty, I...I will show you the way."

"Thank you, sir!" Chu Ze said gratefully.

Guiguzi took out a sheepskin map from his bosom and handed it to Chu Ze, "Your Majesty, this... this is the map to the Valley of Death."

Chu Ze took the map and looked at it carefully.

On the map, there is a route leading to Death Valley.

This route is winding and full of dangers and unknowns.

Chu Ze looked at the map, his heart filled with lofty ambitions.

For the Queen, for the Ming Dynasty, for eternal life, he... he is fearless!

"Sir, I...I'm leaving right away!"

Chu Ze put the map away, turned around and was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Guiguzi suddenly called out to him.

"Sir, is there anything else?" Chu Ze asked.

Guiguzi groaned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I...I have something else to ask of you."

"Sir, please speak."

"I...I would like to ask Your Majesty to take...take me to the Valley of Death."

Chu Ze was stunned, "Sir, you...you want to go too?" (End of this chapter)
