Chapter 767 Appointment with the First Director
Madam Li looked suspiciously at Fan Jiannan and asked, "What do you mean by mountain masters?"

"I can't say any more about this. If you want to know more, you have to exchange something of value." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

Madam Li gritted her teeth, "What do you want to know from me?"

"You must know something about the true shapes of the Five Sacred Mountains and the so-called secret of longevity, but I don't think you know too much." Fan Jiannan shrugged, "It's like a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces fit together into a complete figure, and it doesn't matter who gets more pieces. In a sense, even if you get most of the jigsaw pieces, if only one piece is missing, you can't piece together the whole picture of the truth .And the information in my hands is likely to be the information you need. Why can't we communicate with each other if this is the case?"

Madam Li looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "I told you last time that there is absolutely no possibility of bargaining over this matter. Anyone who knows the inside story of Wuyue Zhenxingtu must die."

"But you also know that you can't kill me, not to mention that now that my father is back, you don't dare to act rashly." Fan Jiannan said calmly.

Madam Li sneered, "Fan Wudi! So what if he comes back? Do you think the Yishu Council is afraid of him?"

"I didn't say Yishu Council, I was talking about you, are you really not afraid?" Fan Jiannan looked at Mrs. Li and asked back.

"You! How can you say that I'm afraid of him!" Madam Li's expression changed.

"Because I have a pair of eyes that can see fear and surprise. I know that both you and the first director are very wary of my father, otherwise he would not be on the threat list of your Yishu Council for many years He is the first one. And he is the only hexagram master who has won the first director so far." Fan Jiannan shrugged. "Even the first director has to admit that he's a formidable opponent."

"Enough!" Madam Li gritted her teeth, "How can I be sure that you have some information that we don't know? And as far as I know, you are very cunning. How can I believe that if I tell you everything? , will you tell the truth?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "You are not sure. But there is another thing that you can be sure of. That is, the map of the Five Sacred Mountains is now in the hands of Eastern secret practitioners, and they may leave Hong Kong at any time. In other words, you Time is running out now. Once they escape from Hong Kong, trying to find them is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

"This is a matter of our council and has nothing to do with you." Madam Li gritted her teeth.

"Since you say that, forget it. I won't reveal a word of what I know to you, it will just rot in your stomach." Fan Jiannan stood up with a smile and said, "Excuse me!" He was quite calm The expression on his face didn't seem to concern him at all.

"Stop!" Madam Li hesitated for a moment, and gritted her teeth, "I can only tell you what I know. Moreover, you'd better ensure that what you said has corresponding value."

Fan Jiannan winked at Long Boldly, sat back down again and said, "Then I will listen carefully."

Mrs. Li said helplessly, "Well, we didn't quite believe the truth about the Five Sacred Mountains at the beginning. Even after finding the suspected Peng Zu's skeleton, the council didn't pay much attention to it. After all, these things are too much. It’s absurd. But in recent years, with the council sorting out the ancient books on spells, a general thread has finally been clarified. All direct or indirect relationships point to a character in Chinese legends.”

"Who?" Long Boldly asked in surprise.

"The Queen Mother of the West in the myths and legends of the Han nationality in ancient times. There are records about her in several of the oldest books in China. It is said that she was the ancient goddess in charge of disasters and punishments. History has said that this is the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West in Western China The title of a tribal leader or totem. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism arose, and she was incorporated into the Taoist mythology system as an ancient ancestor god, and gradually evolved into a noble goddess." Madam Li sighed.

"So this Queen Mother of the West is real?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Madam Li shook her head and said, "Not sure, but what is certain is that the title of Queen Mother of the West should be the title of the leader of a certain tribe in western China at that time. This ancient tribe has a very long history, so there may not be only one Queen Mother of the West in history, but several generations. Queen Mother of the West. And according to experts’ speculation, this tribe has always maintained a matrilineal social structure, so it has always been a female leader. This situation even lasted from the Xia and Shang Dynasties to the Han Dynasty. That’s why there are many unofficial histories that include Emperor Zhou Mu and Han Wu There is a record of encountering the Queen Mother of the West when traveling west."

"And the medicine of immortality in many Chinese myths and legends is inextricably linked with this Queen Mother of the West." Fan Jiannan nodded.

"That's right, remember the last time I told you about the most famous long-lived person in history, Peng Zu. His mother was the leader of the western tribe Guifang. So the reason why Peng Zu has an incredible long life is related to this legendary The Queen Mother of the West is related." Madam Li frowned, "I'm afraid you don't know one more thing, she is revered as the patriarch by Quanzhen Taoism, and Quanzhen Taoism is the master of inner alchemy in the Northern School."

"That's why Quanzhen Taoism has so many inexplicable relationships with the Five Sacred Maps. That's why the Zheng family, who have guarded the Five Sacred Maps for generations, have the long-lost 24 formulas of the Golden Pass and Jade Lock." Fan Jiannan muttered, "I should have thought earlier that the actual situation would be like this."

"There are a lot of records about the immortal medicine in Taoist classics, which directly led to the emergence of an important branch of Taoism in later generations, the Jindan School. Without exception, they are all greatly influenced by this ancient tribe. These ancient practitioners do have Mysteries that we don’t know about, and these are the ultimate ideals pursued by the Taoists of the past dynasties—longevity.” Madam Li looked at Fan Jiannan and said, “After repeated explorations by our council, it is almost certain that this kind of longevity The secret is directly related to the mountains and rivers and the guidance of internal training. It can even be said to be the fundamental source of these techniques."

"That is to say, if someone can obtain the true shape map of the Five Sacred Mountains, maybe he will be able to obtain the way of longevity that all human beings have dreamed of for thousands of years." Long Boldly murmured.

"But, is there such a possibility in medicine?" Fan Jiannan looked at Long and asked boldly.

Long Boldly thought about it and said, "There are many reasons for human aging. For many years, scientists have been working on this issue. But from the current point of view, at least in practice, it is very difficult to never age. .”

Fan Jiannan said in amazement, "Is it possible in theory?"

"There is a possibility in theory, but it is impossible to achieve in practice. Even the most advanced biotechnology cannot completely solve this problem. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life and the law of nature." Long boldly shook his head.

"It seems that you have gained a lot of knowledge." Fan Jiannan looked at Madam Li and smiled wryly, "So, what is your plan?"

"I'm not sure about this. You should also know that although the organization of the council is huge like a giant, this giant has only one brain, which is the first director. Everything we do is in accordance with his Intent to act." Madam Li said indifferently, "Now I don't even know where the first director is and what he does? It sounds unbelievable, but even if you ask your uncle, Mr. Du, you will get the same answer. "

"I believe you are telling the truth." Fan Jiannan nodded.

"Then it's your turn, what do you want to tell me?" Mrs. Li looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "I feel like you know something."

"That's right. What I want to tell you is that I will help you try to catch Bimihu. But I need your cooperation." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

His words startled Long Bold beside him, he quickly turned his head to look at Fan Jiannan, feeling nervous for a while.Thinking: What's wrong with Fan Jiannan, is he stupid?Once Bimihu falls into the hands of Yishu Council, everything will be exposed.Bimihu will tell absolutely everything.In this way, it might be difficult to keep the only jade talisman they have now.

Long Bold tried his best to wink at Fan Jiannan, but Fan Jiannan deliberately pretended not to see it.

Madam Li asked suspiciously, "Oh? Then what do you want to do?"

"Of course I have a solution. But before that, I need to meet the first director." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "You'd better contact him for me."

"This request is too much." Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "The first director is used to acting on his own and will never obey anyone's orders. You'd better not count on this, first tell me how you plan to catch Bi Mihu?"

Fan Jiannan looked at Mrs. Li and said, "You already know that Bi Mihu attacked Su Xuanshui yesterday, and broke into the Tianji Pavilion to threaten Cang Yunxiao. The only connection between the two is that they are the only ones among the five masters." And they all have a jade talisman, the yin and yang talisman inherited by the mountain practitioners. So I concluded that the reason why Bi Mihu refused to leave after she got it was because she had another goal. And this goal It is likely to be the Yin-Yang Liangyi Jade Talisman inherited by the alchemists."

"Another two jade talismans?" Mrs. Li frowned, "Why didn't I think of it. The five mountains' true shape map is a jade talisman, and this yin and yang ceremonial talisman is also a jade talisman. Could it be that there is indeed a secret between them as you said?" connect?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Whether there is or not, this is the end of the matter, we might as well try it out boldly. I can find a way to set up a trap to lure Mihu into the bait. However, I need to meet the first director to tell you how to do it. "

"This is absolutely impossible! No matter how many times you want me to tell you, he will never see you." Madam Li said angrily.

"No rush. Anyway, Bi Mihu will not leave Hong Kong within this period of time. I have enough time for you to contact him." Fan Jiannan stood up gracefully and said, "Farewell."
