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

Chapter 167 The ancient building and the sutra curtain suppress the demonic dragon
"Ghost town?"

"Did Yuan Hong really say that?"

Between dense forests.

Chen Yulou frowned slightly as he looked at Kunlun who was hurried back.

They had only left for a few minutes. I thought the two of them were very fast, but they didn't expect to bring back such a piece of news.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper, word for word."

Kunlun nodded.

He actually didn't know whether it was a ghost town or a demon realm.

But having grown up in the mountains since childhood, he has a keenness to danger that is close to that of all animals.

That one is really weird.

"Okay, I see."

In the dense forest ahead, most of the slowly flowing thick fog seemed to disperse in an instant, and the blurred vision gradually became clearer.

"how come?"

This will make the atmosphere less tense.

His heart sank.

That guy Yuan Hong had already entered the Qi-nourishing realm quietly.

Chen Yulou raised his horse and stood side by side beside Yuan Hong.

"Go, lead the way, go see what's going on."

It seemed as if something was roaring silently deep in the black mist.

"Uu——"

The low wall was mottled and covered by vines. Shrubs broke through the ground and emerged from the broken wall, pushing green bricks all over the ground.

It is more like a small town than a city.

In the team, except him and Luofu.

A long procession walked through the mist-shrouded forest, silent except for the rustling sound of horse hooves on the thick fallen leaves.

I don't know why, but Chen Yulou always feels indescribably familiar.

"tower?!"

The first thing that comes into view is the ruins of broken walls.

Others don't know, but Chen Yulou knows it very well.

See it's him.

Chen Yulou exhaled.

"Owner……"

Yuan Hongcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Partridge Whistle can't say it can suppress it steadily.

However, due to the erosion of the years, the ancient town has long been abandoned, without any popularity, and most of the houses have collapsed. Only...a white stone tower with a different style still stands alone.

Less than two miles away.

Looking at the white tower from a distance.

Not long after.

But the scale is too small.

From a distance, Chen Yulou saw Yuan Hong's figure.

The territory of southern Yunnan has been a place of alienation since ancient times, and it is difficult to fathom the evil evils.

It seems like I have seen it somewhere.

It was not even as good as the Nanjian City they had visited during the day.

See this situation.

Gently turning his horse's back, the dragon horse sneezed beneath him and immediately chased Kunlun ahead.

Chen Yulou nodded and didn't say much. He looked up and saw spiritual energy floating in his night eyes.

It looks like it is indeed an ancient city.

Once the horse's belly is pinched, the dragon colt stops.

Now, to be able to make him so frightened, it seems that the thing is really quite powerful.

From Kunlun's few words, even he couldn't guess what it was for the time being.

At this moment, it was squatting on the horse, as if it had encountered something terrible. Its whole body was as tight as a big bow. Just looking at its back, you can feel its fear and uneasiness.

The yin energy is deep and the evil spirit spreads across the surface.

But for a while, I couldn't remember it.

"Brother Chen?"

The others from Partridge Whistle had also arrived early.

However, they did not have night eyes. Now that the golden crow was falling in the west and the night was shrouded in darkness, they could barely see a few meters away with the help of the wind lantern in their hands.

That area was densely forested.

With his eyesight, he could only vaguely see the shadows of trees.

"What did you find?"

After hearing his question, Hua Ling, Miss Hong and others also looked over curiously.

"It's a deserted ancient town."

"Ancient town?"

Hear this unexpected answer.

The group of people couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"Is there any record on the map?"

Partridge Whistle was still an expert, and he immediately asked the key.

But Chen Yulou shook his head.

"According to the map mark, this is the boundary of Longtan Mountain. It is true that there is an earthen village, but it is very clear that there are only a few households, which is obviously not worthy of the ancient town."

Hear the words.

The hearts of Partridge Whistle and others also sank.

After traveling all day, I was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

Now, when I suddenly encounter such a strange situation, how can I feel at peace?
Compared to them, Chen Yulou thought further.

Judging from Zuo's chieftain's control over the West Yunnan Road, it stands to reason that such a big mistake should never have occurred.

"Honggu, you, Kunlun, and Hua Ling will lead people outside to respond."

"Brother Dao, Yuan Hong and the old foreigner brothers, bring a few guys and follow me into the town to find out!"

Chen Yulou took a breath, put away his distracting thoughts, and ordered in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Hua Ling and Hong girl led the bandits from Xiling to camp on the spot.

They are all old people who have been in the world for a long time.

Know what to do in such unexpected situations.

Without Miss Hong's orders, a group of people quickly led the horses to an open area, and then lit a bonfire on the spot to drive away the wild animals. Of course, it could also scare the evil spirits in the mountains.

While talking.

Chen Yulou was moved.

The Ang Qing Chicken, which had been hiding in the bamboo cage and hibernating, raised its head and crowed, turning into a stream of colorful fire that cut through the night sky and landed directly on his left shoulder.

As a phoenix species.

It took almost an instant.

It then noticed something strange outside.

He held his head high, as if two blazing flames were igniting in his eyes, staring into the distance, with an astonishing ferocious aura all over his body.

See it like this.

Chen Yulou was not surprised.

He just comforted her gently, and then looked up at the distance beyond the mountain.

It just took a while.

The setting sun has completely disappeared, the clouds in the sky have been obscured by night, and the entire mountain is shrouded in darkness.

Not much delay.

Chen Yulou led a group of people and quickly passed through the fog barriers and entered the ancient town.

But, I just entered the town.

A sense of desolation, gloom and death came over me.

It's obviously summer.

This place is not like the one under Zhelong Snow Peak.

But the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant, and the biting chill penetrated through the collar, giving people the feeling of stepping into an extremely cold place.

"Why is it so cold?"

"Something's wrong."

The few guys who accompanied him were selected, all of them were martial arts practitioners, their blood was swaying all over their bodies, and their lives were burning brightly.

But even so, it's a bit difficult to resist the Yin Qi here.

It is almost as high as the Sanshi Bridge in Xianwangxuan Palace that day.

However, there is a Yin well under the Sanshi Bridge that leads directly to the earth veins.

It is the key to maintaining the balance of pure and turbid Qi in the entire Feng Shui array.

But Chen Yulou looked carefully at this place, and it didn't look like the Feng Shui pattern of Tiansha Yin Vein.

The more so, the more cautious you need to be.

There is no record of an ancient town that seems to have appeared out of thin air. It is inherently weird, not to mention that the evil spirit is so heavy?
Besides.

In the majestic and endless evil, he faintly noticed a trace of evil spirit.

"Everyone cheer up and march together as a team."

He whispered a reminder.

Chen Yulou then walked lightly into the town.

I don’t know how long this place has been abandoned, with only ruins and broken walls left, but... I can still get a glimpse of its past glory.

just.

I have been in southern Yunnan for so long.

I have seen the customs and scenery of all ethnic groups.

The architectural style here does not correspond to any clan.

The feeling it gave him was somewhat Zen-like.

Six or seven wind lanterns.

Breaking through the heavy fog along the road.

Not long after, the white stone tower in the town finally appeared in sight.

Compared with the previous view, now standing under the tower and looking up, the shock is even more profound.

It is more than ten meters high.

There are seven floors up and down, eight sides inside and outside.

Tantric scriptures are engraved on the base.

On each side are several Tantric Bodhisattvas, Vajra Dharma images and eight heavenly dragons.

After a rough scan, there are two to three hundred statues.

Standing alone among the ruins, like a vajra reaching into the sky, it is breathtaking. "This...Buddhist land?"

Partridge Whistle's pupils narrowed, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Traveled around the world for many years.

Because he presented himself as a Taoist, he had almost never interacted with people in Zen Buddhism.

Moreover, because of the news that Kunlun brought back, he always thought that this place was a ghost.

Unexpectedly, the statue of the Tantric Bodhisattva carved on the stone tower suddenly disrupted his thoughts.

Even though he is well informed.

For a moment, I couldn't help but froze in place, feeling numb.

"Shanjie City...Mandala?"

Quite different from their panicked reaction.

At this moment, when I saw clearly the sculptures of Chen Yulou on the stone tower, I felt a sudden realization.

His eyes flickered and he murmured softly.

"what?"

Although the Partridge Whistle stood closest, he didn't hear what he said clearly.

I couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Brother Dao, I know the origin of this place."

Chen Yulou shook his head and was not in a hurry to explain.

But he said with a serious face.

"An ancient building with sutras and curtains is where Buddhism suppresses demons."

He explained why he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he looked at this place from a distance.

This stone pagoda is clearly the Sutra Tower pagoda unique to Tantric Buddhism during the Nanzhao and Dali era.

In his previous life, he had read it on the Internet.

There is a Dizang Temple sutra building in the Spring City Museum.

The exquisite shape and perfect preservation are rare in the world.

In the introduction to the collection, it is only said that the sutra pillars are used for chanting sutras in Tantric Buddhism, but there is another rumor that has been circulating among the people. The ancient sutra pillars were built to suppress the dragons in Jinzhi River.

Therefore, eight sea dragon kings are carved on the base of the entire sutra building.

Use the real dragon to suppress the monster dragon.

If so.

The appearance of this sutra building seems to be able to be explained clearly.

Where is this?

Longtan Mountain!
At the foot of the mountain, there is a secluded pool with green waves. The water has never dried up for thousands of years. Everyone says that the bottom of the pool leads directly to the Dragon Palace, where dragons live.

In the previous life, such rumors were almost lost to the public.

Chen Yulou would definitely look down upon it.

But in the world of ghosts blowing out lights.

But he didn't dare to question it at all.

Strange resurgence and rampant demons are no lie.

In addition, the trace of evil spirit detected from the Yin Qi before, this guess should be very close to ten.

"Suppressing demons..."

Partridge Whistle's pupils shrank slightly.

This answer once again exceeded his expectations.

Although he rarely interacts with Zen people, he has also seen pagodas in temples, but generally speaking, they are mostly used to bury the relics or golden bodies of eminent monks.

Therefore, when we see traces of Tantric Buddhism.

He also subconsciously thought so.

"Longtan Water Monster."

Chen Yulou nodded and softly uttered a few words again.

For a moment, Partridge Whistle felt like a pair of invisible hands passed through his mind.

Sort out the tangled thoughts at once.

"Then...Brother Chen, do you want to turn on the demon slayer?"

With his words, the pupils of everyone including the old foreigner and Yuan Hong suddenly dilated.

It can make the Tantric Buddhism take action to suppress it forcefully.

The monster under the tower must not be simple.

Besides, they have been suppressed, why should they be released and killed?
Isn't this unnecessary?

The old foreigner opened his mouth and wanted to speak several times, but the senior brother was acting extremely abnormal today, as if he had never seen him before.

Partridge Whistle did notice.

But based on his understanding of Chen Yulou, he was able to kill demons wherever he went.

Such a good opportunity right now will never be missed easily.

really.

Chen Yulou, who was still looking at the ancient building's sutras with his hands behind his hands, turned around, his eyes shining with light.

"Brother Dao still understands me."

"Snakes are lurking and dragons are moving, and as dragons, each one is harder to see than the last."

"Since we bumped into each other, it was just a matter of chance."

Chen Yulou smiled softly.

It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

But when Yuan Hong and others heard this, they shuddered.

Kill the dragon?

How conceited!

From this sutra pillar, we can see how much effort the Esoteric Buddhism put into suppressing the water demon in Longtan.

There are a total of 300 Buddha statues on seven floors and eight sides.

Now he wants to do the opposite and kill the dragon.

However, if these words were said by others, Yuan Hong and the old foreigners would never believe it.

But Chen Yulou's soft words have an extremely overbearing persuasiveness.

"Luofu, go!"

He glanced at the angry chicken on his shoulder who was already eager to try.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the sutra curtain of the ancient building.

Luofu tore through the night in an instant and landed on the top of the sutra pillar.

The phoenix fire swept across his body, as if a great sun had risen in the night, reflecting the golden light on the prayer pillars.

The Jingzhu, which had been silent for countless years, seemed to have come to life.

Golden light flows from top to bottom.

The esoteric scriptures engraved in it will also emerge one by one. As the scriptures are circulated, the Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas sitting in all directions either have lowered eyebrows, or have angry eyes.

The invisible but mighty Buddhist breath passed by.

All of a sudden.

The evil spirit in the ancient town is like the scorching sun and white snow, melting away in an instant and disappearing.

"This……"

"God, what's going on?"

Seeing the changes on the sutra pillar, the faces of the several waiters had already turned pale. If the shopkeeper hadn't been there, they would have been forced to kneel down by the fearful and powerful aura and worshiped.

The same goes for Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner.

His face changed drastically and his whole body became tense.

His eyes were fixed on Jing Zhuang's every move.

They were just shocked, but as a demon, Yuan Hong was in great pain when he was enveloped by the Buddha's light.

It was as if there was an invisible mountain suppressing him.

"Brother Taoist, please lend me your mirror umbrella!"

He almost didn't need to remind him. He also noticed Yuan Hong's strange partridge whistle. He had already taken down the umbrella behind him, opened it and raised it, and covered Yuan Hong's head.

Forty-nine mirrors instantly refract the Buddha's light back.

The invisible force of suppression that was pressing down on Yuan Hong suddenly disappeared.

It subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but there was some unconcealable fear in its eyes as it looked at the prayer building.

"Go somewhere far away."

"So are you guys."

Chen Yulou also didn't expect that this scripture building that had been exposed to wind and sun for hundreds of years would still have such power.

His eyes swept over Yuan Hong and several waiters, and he whispered a reminder.

The old foreigner held the Miao knife in his hand and was ready to charge into the battle.

But the senior brother seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, "You come over too."

"……Yes."

The old foreigner hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

He just took off his umbrella and handed it over.

Wait until the group retreats into the distance.

Chen Yulou then stepped forward and looked attentively along the scripture building.

The stone tower is more than ten meters high.

The base is nearly ten feet in size.

Although there are slight differences between Esoteric Buddhism and Han Buddhism, their expression on Buddha statues is not significant.

The carvings of the eight dragon kings are lifelike and powerful. Chen Yulou recognized the names of several dragon kings such as Nanda, Xiuji, and Anandavadatta at a glance.

Between the eight dragon kings, on the central pillar of the prayer building.

Engraved with a dragon ball.

At this moment, the golden light flows down, reflecting it like a fire bead in the deep sea.

The eight dragon kings chase each other after the dragon balls.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou understood immediately and glanced at the partridge whistle not far behind him. Then, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed the dragon ball.

Click!

A crisp voice sounded.

It seemed as if something had been touched.

On the base of the ancient sutra curtain, the dragon beads were deeply sunken, and a stone door slowly emerged.

"really!"

Don't care about surprises.

Chen Yulou quickly lowered his head and glanced inside.

Under the sutra building, there is a deep and endless ancient well.

However, before he could see clearly what was going on, the next moment, an earth-shattering roar came from the well.

Followed closely.

There is also a majestic tide of demonic energy!
