Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 129 The Taoist talisman rides on a dragon and ascends to immortality

"Will you be an immortal?"

"This King Xian really wants to become an immortal. Is he really going to build a palace on a cliff, where he can invite gods to meet him, teach him the art of immortality, and ascend on an elephant?"

Yuan Hong's voice was not loud.

However, this place was so high in the sky that no one dared to speak.

So it still reached everyone’s ears clearly.

Looking away from the waterfall hanging outside the mountain, Chen Yulou sneered.

Are there any immortals in the sky?

he does not know.

But it is absolutely nonsense to think of inviting immortals from heaven to come down to earth with just such a palace in the mountain.

But he dared to do so.

The others looked at each other in shock.

I just feel that King Xian has such great ambitions.

"No, shopkeeper, if this is the Immortal Palace, then where is the Xianwang Xuan Palace?"

Miss Hong suddenly realized something was wrong.

The beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned and he said suspiciously.

As soon as she said this, the guys suddenly fell into thinking.

"Goose in the cloud, gray road, snake in the grass, mist in the water, won't you know if you go in and take a look?"

Chen Yulou smiled.

These few sentences are recorded in the human skin map.

King Xian's tomb depicts the sky and the earth, which create a unique part of the world.

"Oh……"

The red girl nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Since it is the Hall of Immortals, a place used by King Xian to entertain the immortals, it must be full of treasures, so naturally you cannot miss it.

"Push door!"

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

A group of thieves have been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

As Chen Yulou said this, the few people who peeked in through the crack in the door did not hesitate at all. They immediately put their hands on the stone door and pushed in together.

"squeak--"

soon.

That door has been sealed in dust for more than two thousand years.

Opened for the first time.

A crack slowly opened in the door, dust shook off, and dust floated in the light.

Unfortunately, the sunlight slanting down from above can only reach the door.

But even this startling glimpse was enough to make the thieves couldn't help but scream in surprise.

The hall is covered with water-polished gold bricks, which shine brightly under the sunlight.

I had long expected that the extravagance of King Xian’s tomb would be astonishing.

But no one expected it.

It's so luxurious that the floor is paved with gold bricks.

The guys' eyes widened and their breathing quickened.

I wish I could go in and pry open the floor tiles right now.

"and many more……"

Sensing that everyone was strange, Chen Yulou frowned slightly and pointed deep into the hall.

By the light reflected from the ground.

Black shadows stood clearly in the mist.

Either standing, or bowing, or lying down, or lying on the ground, the postures are different, but the faces are the same, their eyes are dull, looking quietly towards the back of the hall.

See this scene.

The thieves, who were still very enthusiastic at first, felt like they had a bucket of cold water poured on their heads.

His eyes instantly calmed down a lot.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to explore the way."

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly silent, the red girl raised her eyebrows with a dashing and heroic look.

"No need."

Now it's thousands of miles away.

Even for ordinary thieves, it would be difficult to replace them even if one person dies.

Not to mention putting her in danger herself.

"Botou Chen, let me do it. Protected by a mirror umbrella, I am impervious to fire and water, and impervious to dark arrows."

Seeing this, the old foreigner stepped forward and volunteered.

There is a magical weapon from the Qishan lineage.

The mirror umbrella has amazing defense and can deter evil spirits.

In addition, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and his skills are just as good as those of the red girl.

On weekdays, the three brothers and sisters go to the tomb, and he does most of the work of exploring the tomb and clearing the way, so he is quite familiar with it.

but……

Chen Yulou still did not agree.

"Let you see a little thing."

"what?"

The group looked at each other.

But he had already taken out a pair of paper armor.

It was only about the size of a palm, and seemed to be human-shaped. Its facial features were vaguely visible, and its eyes were even dotted with cinnabar.

It is the paper armor technique of Guanshan Taibao.

"This... paper man?"

"Is the shopkeeper planning to let it explore the road?"

Looking at the paper man in his hand, everyone was even more confused.

Even Kunlun, who had been following him, saw him for the first time, and both of their eyebrows were filled with astonishment.

Partridge Whistle thought of something.

But the paper man was only the size of a palm, and had no Taoist spirit. It seemed far removed from the legendary talisman.

The only one who felt familiar was Miss Hong.

That day at His Highness Yunzang Bao.

The shopkeeper took her to avoid the crowd, opened the underground stone door, and found a few scattered artifacts from the skin bag of the ancient corpse.

If I remember correctly.

Among them is this paper figurine.

However, it was different from that day when it was all ashes, lifeless, and even a bit terrifying.

See you again now. For some reason, she always felt that those two red dots were like a pair of bright red eyes, peeking at everyone secretly.

"rise!"

Ignore the people with different thoughts.

Chen Yulou's mind moved and he drank softly.

In an instant.

The paper armor, which was still motionless like a dead object, actually jumped up from his palm.

It felt like the wind was rising out of thin air beneath me.

In an instant, the paper man rose up in the wind, and when he landed, he was already half a man tall.

"Ancient color tricks?"

"God, what kind of spell is this?"

"The shopkeeper is really amazing, can a paper man live?"

"I heard that immortals can turn stones into gold and cut paper into human beings. Is this... not a rumor?"

Seeing the paper man standing in front of me.

The facial features are present, and the peeing is as real as possible.

Because of those eyes, they suddenly felt like they were facing a living person.

Some people thought it was a trick or illusion at first.

These days, it is common to see craftsmen traveling around the world at temple fairs.

Among them, there are many who are good at ancient color magic. Their hands can change at will, and some can even conjure people out of thin air.

But now Chen Yulou's paper-man technique seems completely different from magic.

After all, who has ever seen a paper man?

"Is it really a Taoist talisman?"

It is different from the group of thieves exclaiming.

At this moment, Partridge Whistle's heart was beating, and his expression showed a bit of disbelief.

There are endless Taoist magic techniques. According to folklore, the paper-cutting of adults is actually the magic of talisman and armor. The yellow turban warriors can summon and protect those who practice Taoism.

Originally he thought he had guessed wrong.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly understood.

If it weren’t for the Taoist talisman armor, how else in the world could there be such magical arts?

"go with!"

Chen Yulou seemed to be able to penetrate his mind.

A faint smile flashed quietly in the corner of his eyes.

The reason why Partridge Whistle couldn't detect the evil spirit in it was naturally because it was covered by his spiritual energy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the name "Guanshan Taibao" represents a blood feud for the members of the four sects.

It's better to hide it as much as possible without exposing it.

After all, Dao Sect Talisman Armor is very similar to Paper Armor Technique.

Unless they are really old monsters from the Taoist sects such as Longhu and Zhenwu that have been passed down for thousands of years, and have practiced in isolation for decades, and have unfathomable Taoism, few people should be able to see through the truth.

wow-

As he spoke every word.

There seemed to be a ray of light floating in the eyes of the paper man, and his body suddenly became alive. He reached for a wind lantern, crossed the mahogany threshold, and walked straight into the hall.

See this scene.

Everyone came to their senses one after another, not daring to think too much, and their eyes were chasing the paper figure.

Follow it step by step deeper into the temple.

The wind lantern disperses the darkness.

Those black shadows were also reflected one by one.

The first thing that catches the eye are two evil-proof bronze lions, one male and one female.

Then, there were some ancient strange beasts. Even if a few people had seen them before, they could only vaguely recognize Xie, Jian, Qilin, and auspicious signs such as red deer, cranes, and elephants.

Once passed here.

What appears in the light becomes a person.

Looking at their attire, there are civil servants, military generals, and nobles, all standing with their hands down.

only……

What these bronze men and beasts are guarding is not the throne that everyone expected.

The action is rather strange. There seemed to be some kind of ceremony going on.

"Welcome the Immortal?"

The red girl moved her lips slightly and said silently.

Chen Yulou nodded and did not refute. According to King Xian's virtue, all he could think about was becoming an immortal.

The burial regulations are completely unceremonious.

But when it comes to him, it seems perfectly normal.

"Is there a pool?"

The paper man was extremely fast, flying across the ground, passing between the bronze men, and passed halfway through the hall in the blink of an eye.

However, there is a pool standing unexpectedly deep in the hall.

There seemed to be half a pool of clear water in it.

The light passed by, bringing with it a deep and cold feeling.

Before he had time to think about it, the paper man had already jumped across the water. The fire in his hand cut through the darkness, and a brilliant golden light suddenly dispersed in the mist.

There is also a hint of radiant jade.

"Throne, Jade Dragon!"

Chen Yulou was born with night eyes.

The eyes are the sharpest.

It was immediately clearly distinguishable from the rainbow light.

At the same time, no one noticed that there was a hint of chill deep in his eyes.

The reason why I used paper figures to explore the way.

The biggest reason is that the jade dragon contains lead, mercury and fire. Once the mechanism is touched, it will lead to a narrow escape.

But Huixian Hall is the only way to Xianwangxuan Palace.

Unless the dome deep in Bitan can be broken.

but……

Even if you can dive.

If he accidentally falls into the corpse cave, he will die.

There is also the most important point.

There is a gold jade box hidden in the Huixian Hall, which contains one of the three dragon-bone heavenly books left by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty to deduce the Muchen Pearl.

Two more.

One is in the Longling Mysterious Cave in Gulan County.

The last one was far away in Heishui City, Xixia.

King Wen of Zhou Dynasty knew everything about heaven and earth, and was close to a god. He deduced the Muchen Bead based on the sixty-four hexagrams of Zhou Dynasty, and finally saw the existence of the snake god in it.

Because the ancient gods are too amazing.

Even he didn't dare to show off to others easily, and he didn't want to let all his hard work go to waste.

So the deduction results were engraved on three tortoise shells in cipher text.

Something to crack those ciphertexts.

It is sixteen black jade rings.

Links are interlocked, and one is indispensable.

From the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties, more than a thousand years have passed, and I don't know where King Xian got so many ancient artifacts.

Even with the power of one person.

Collected a dragon bone heavenly book and sixteen black jade rings.

Plus Muchen Zhu's words.

Definitely a timeless moment.

"Jade dragon?"

"Brother Chen, do you have anything to say?"

When he was absent-minded, the paper man had already stood still, holding a lantern and standing beside the throne, and the jade dragon entrenched on it was completely revealed.

"Brother Taoist, didn't you notice the red light floating in the jade dragon? Is there something wrong?"

"...It's the flowing red spirit fluid!"

A playful voice came.

Chen Yulou glanced at Hua Ling subconsciously, showing surprise.

Flowing Zhu Lingye is another name given to mercury by ancient Taoists.

From these few words, we can also get a glimpse of their beautiful imagination of this thing.

No wonder so many people died from taking mercury pills.

"Mercury!"

Partridge Whistle frowned.

The scene he saw in Pingshan before suddenly sounded in his mind.

It is precisely because of the burning of the elixir that the mercury poison seeped into the ground, creating countless poisonous substances, and even gave birth to great monsters such as the six-winged centipede.

"Lead and mercury are more poisonous than centipedes."

"Be careful when you go in."

Everyone noticed.

Chen Yulou reminded him in a low voice.

As early as two thousand years ago, King Xian had calculated that someone would come and rob his tomb.

Set up many traps.

Just waiting to be buried with him.

Moreover, unlike Pingshan, where you can see through the tomb of King Xian at a glance, the place is so weird and difficult to figure out.

He could only remind him secretly in this way.

"Yes, the boss."

I could hear the solemnity in his words.

How dare the gang of thieves look down upon him and accept the order in unison.

"Let's go in and take a look."

It is now clear inside and outside the main hall.

Chen Yulou didn't waste any time and took the lead and went straight into the palace.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to let him put himself in danger. Immediately, six or seven men rushed forward, raising grass shields to protect him airtight.

Kunlun, on the other hand, was cruising outside with a big halberd in hand, his usual simple and honest look gone, his eyes as fierce as a knife.

The remaining people filed in carrying wind lanterns.

The bronze men were eerily quiet, with strange expressions on their faces, as if they were secretly sizing up outsiders like them.

but.

Starting with Chen Yulou.

The guys experienced a brief moment of shock and their minds calmed down.

Just following the shopkeeper's instructions, I didn't touch gold easily, but observed around to know myself and the enemy.

Chen Yulou and others walked straight across the bronze man formation and the living pool, and stood in front of the throne.

A throne that is as tall as a person.

Made of solid gold.

The astonishing flow of colors reflected under the light makes people's hearts tremble when they see it.

So much gold moved out.

I am afraid that I can buy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

However, a few people only glanced at it, and their eyes fell on the jade dragon.

The jade dragon carvings are lifelike.

With his head held high and his beard flying, tiger eyes and fish scales, a look of defiance came to his face.

Under the crystal clear jade pieces, red liquid mercury floated back and forth.

"Something's not right."

"The flowing mercury turns into water when it heats up, and turns into stone when it cools. The water mist is evaporating here, so it is unlikely that there is an earth fire. Could it be that an earth dragon is buried?"

The partridge whistle is still experienced.

After staring at the mercury in the Jade Dragon for a moment, he suddenly murmured hesitantly.

"Maybe it's a fire?"

Chen Yulou suggested calmly.

"That's possible."

The Partridge Whistle nodded, and his expression became more solemn, "Brother Chen, if there is really a hidden fire, you have to be a hundred times more careful. The flowing mercury can produce strange poisons when it meets fire."

"Honggu, did you hear that?"

"Take the brothers and look around. There are fire traps engraved on them."

Chen Yulou turned around and gave an order.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Among the group of people, Miss Hong has the deepest knowledge of institutions.

In addition, the girl has a delicate mind and is much more cautious than the guys on the mountain, so it is perfect for her to go.

Wait for her to take the people away.

Chen Yulou pursed his lips toward the gable behind the throne.

"Brother Dao, take a look."

He raised the wind lantern in his hand forward.

The flickering firelight immediately dispersed the darkness.

The few people who were still looking at Jade Dragon subconsciously looked up.

Afterwards, everyone looked shocked.

I saw a vast mural painted on the wall.

In the painting, the fairy clouds look like the sea, with green smoke lingering, and a real dragon is faintly visible in the clouds and mist.

But even more surprising is this.

A tall old man wearing a python robe and a golden crown was rising into the sky on a dragon's body under the gaze of countless people.

And at the highest point of the clouds and mist, there was an immortal riding a crane, looking at him with a smile, holding his hands to greet him, and behind him there were figures of immortal spirit.

It is a picture of the King Xian ascending to heaven and ascending to immortality.

The mural design is extremely exquisite.

The dragon's body in the cloud fit perfectly with the dragon's head entrenched on the throne, and it seemed that the whole dragon came to life at once.

"It's such a big ambition to fly up on a dragon."

Throughout the ages, only the legendary Yellow Emperor has flown away on a dragon.

This king of Xianwang is a small barbarian prince.

How dare you compare yourself to the Yellow Emperor.

"Without ambition, how could you dare to do this?"

Chen Yulou smiled meaningfully.

While the two were talking.

A waiter came quickly with a lantern and said in a deep voice.

"Shopkeeper, Hongtou found a forest of steles in the back hall. There is a six-legged copper tripod in it. It is said that there are traces of saltpeter and ointment. It is suspected of being a fire. I want you to go and have a look."

　I have to catch a flight at five o'clock, and I'm worried that I won't have time to write when I land tomorrow, so I stay up late and write four thousand five hundred and fifty, which is considered a guarantee. I'll try to do the second update tomorrow.
