Chapter 235 The Secret of the Zhang Family

Zhang Rishan hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, we knew about Wuqi Mountain a long time ago."

"Since ancient times, among the upper class, there have been legends about Mount Wuqi."

"Legend has it that Wuqi Mountain is where immortals live. There is an aura of immortality all year round, and immortals gather there. There, they transcend life and death, and even birds and beasts live an eternal and carefree life."

"In Wuqi Mountain, there are elixirs that can make people immortal, and secret books on cultivating immortals that can transform one's body and soul. The birds and beasts there, and even the flowers and trees, are all extraordinary, mysterious and powerful."

"Since ancient times, countless powerful nobles have gone to seek immortality and medicine in the hope of achieving immortality."

“It is said that Wuqi Mountain is guarded by an immortal formation and surrounded by mythical beasts, so mortals are not allowed to enter. Therefore, over the past few thousand years, it has been extremely rare for anyone to find Wuqi Mountain.”

“Even where Wuqi Mountain is, its exact location, is almost unknown.”

Although Xu Feng had known about the existence of Wuqi Mountain for a long time, he was still shocked when he heard Zhang Rishan say this.

There really is a fairy mountain in the world? !
So do gods really exist?
This astonishing conjecture made Xu Feng's hair stand on end and his heart tremble!

It's not just Xu Feng.

Lao Hu, Fatty and the others were also shocked, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Oh my god, are there really gods in this world?!"

The fat man exclaimed subconsciously.

Zhang Rishan shook his head: "I don't know whether there are gods in the world, but we have found that many gods have flowed out of Wuqi Mountain since ancient times. This means that Wuqi Mountain has always been connected with the outside world."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng hurriedly asked: "Have you found any clues? For example, the contact channels between Wuqishan and the outside world!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Rishan shook his head and said, "Our Divine Management Bureau has been investigating for decades and has not found any clues."

"what?!"

Xu Feng looked at him in disbelief: "There are things that your Divine Management Bureau can't find out? You must be kidding!"

Zhang Rishan replied calmly: "The Divine Management Bureau is not omnipotent. For example, we cannot find out many of your affairs."

Xu Feng smiled gently: "My identity and background are clean and clear, there is nothing to check. On the contrary, after I saw the mural just now, I have a question to ask you."

"That mysterious young man, the ancestor of your Zhang family, rescued Qin Shihuang from the State of Zhao and reached a certain contract with Qin Shihuang. The Zhang family will help Qin Shihuang conquer the world, but after Qin Shihuang unifies the world, he will also help you find something."

"You, the Zhang family, want Qin Shi Huang to help you find Wuqi Mountain?!"

Zhang Rishan's eyes suddenly widened.

Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Feng coldly. After a while, he chuckled, "Xu Feng, you are really very smart. I didn't expect that you could deduce so many things based on just one mural."

"From what you said, you should know something about the history of our Zhang family."

"That's right, our Zhang family has been searching for Wuqi Mountain for thousands of years."

“It’s just that I never get it right.”

"Back then, our Zhang family assisted Qin Shi Huang, and the conditions we negotiated with him were indeed to use his power to find Wuqi Mountain."

"Even when our Zhang family declined, Master Buddha led us to find another way out and never gave up."

"But we still can't find the location of Wuqi Mountain, even though... we have a sea chart!"

"With the same sea chart, Xu Fu was able to find Wuqi Mountain and successfully bring back so many natural treasures and rare medicinal herbs."

"But our Zhang family has been searching for them on the sea for decades, and we haven't even found a deserted island the size of a palm, let alone Wuqi Mountain." Xu Feng touched his chin, "Could it be what you just said, that Wuqi Mountain is guarded by an immortal formation? Unless they allow it, it is difficult for outsiders to find them."

Zhang Rishan smiled and nodded: "We thought so too, so we gave up later."

Xu Feng looked at him with interest: "In order to find Wuqi Mountain, your Zhang family probably supported more than just Qin Shi Huang, right? I guess your Zhang family has been involved in every dynasty."

Zhang Rishan laughed and said, "Why do you say that? You make it sound as if our Zhang family is the mastermind behind all this."

Xu Feng: "As for the mastermind behind the scenes... your Zhang family probably isn't very interested in that. But regarding Wuqi Mountain and immortality, your Zhang family should be very interested in that."

"Let's not talk about anything else. As far as I know, there seems to be a mysterious department in the Tang Dynasty called the Demon Suppression Department."

Zhang Rishan was slightly stunned.

"The person in charge of this Demon Suppression Division is called Zhang Liang, also known as Duke Xun in history. He should also be a member of your Zhang family, right?!"

Xu Feng said slowly.

Zhang Rishan's face quickly turned gloomy.

He stared at Xu Feng and said in a low voice: "How did you know?"

Xu Feng chuckled: "Judging from your expression, I should be right."

"As for how I know this, just think of it as me reading a lot of books and finding clues from miscellaneous historical records."

Zhang Rishan stared at Xu Feng for a long time.

Finally, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he smiled again: "Xu Feng, I still underestimated you. You are really amazing. You know so much."

"You guessed it right. Our Zhang family has been looking for the legendary Wuqi Mountain."

“I have been searching for many years, but to no avail.”

"Later, our Zhang family ancestor, the mysterious man in the mural, came up with an idea, which was to support an emperor and then use the power of the emperor and the country to find Wuqi Mountain."

"You know the result, I failed."

“But this idea has continued.”

"For example, Zhang Liang, who assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Dynasty."

"Later, in order to avoid suspicion, our Zhang family's ancestors changed their names and appearances to assist those emperors, and then borrowed their power to find Wuqi Mountain."

"In order to gain the support of the state apparatus, our Zhang family's ancestors even changed their appearances and names to assist those emperors."

Xu Feng looked at him with interest: "Can you tell us which other great figures in history are related to your Zhang family?"

Zhang Rishan smiled faintly: "Sorry, this is our Zhang family's secret, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"Then your Zhang family has assisted so many emperors, so you must have collected a lot of intelligence information, such as the truth of history."

Xu Feng chuckled: "Let's not talk about the distant past, let's talk about the present. What secrets did Qin Shihuang hide? What is the truth of history? Your Zhang family has been passed down for so many years, and that ancestor of the Zhang family has such a close relationship with Qin Shihuang. I believe that your Zhang family should know all this information, right?!"

Zhang Rishan shook his head: "I'm sorry, I still say the same thing, I can't say it."

The fat man immediately became unhappy: "Hey, Mr. Zhang, we are all in the same boat now. We will die together and live together. Why are you still hiding things at this time? Is there anything you can't say? Do you really want us to hug each other and die here?"
