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

Chapter 175 Fishing for dragons on Fuxian Lake

"Meet, meet the River God?!"

Hear this.

The old shopkeeper's cloudy pupils suddenly widened.

It was like there was an earthquake.

If it were someone else, he would at least walk away without scolding me.

That's the Dragon King, can you just say that you can see him?

Even though the lake has not been peaceful in the past few years, and everyone has complained privately, who dares to talk nonsense in front of the river god? If you don’t look at the Dragon King Temple by the lake, the incense has not stopped, but has become more prosperous.

Worshiping the river god is a thousand-year-old tradition.

Just one day at the lake.

Can't see through.

It's really hard to see through.

As he said himself, the older this person gets, the more hesitant he becomes.

Since the meeting, the old shopkeeper has been thinking secretly.

Here in southern Yunnan, Tibetans have always been known for their height.

Especially the three people, the Taoist priest with tied hair, the woman in red skirt and the attendant carrying a halberd.

He dared to be cut off, and at worst, he would go to the west.

Ordinary people will be offended if they are offended.

"This……"

That would be true if you were young.

He forced a smile on his face.

The Taoist priest has an immortal demeanor and strong bones, but he has hidden murderous intent.

Although I have been running a restaurant here for decades and have met countless people, I am confident that I am pretty good at seeing people.

See this.

"Old man, I just run a restaurant and do business. How can I meet the River God?"

You have to pray to the River God for blessings, good weather, and good health and good health.

As for the last one, just sitting there gives people an incomparable sense of oppression.

But for this kind of person, no one dares to guess whether there is a huge monster standing behind him, which may be able to knock his whole family into dust with just one word.

All I want is stability and peace.

The man in front of me has an outstanding temperament and a measured conversation. You can tell his status between the lines. He is by no means the kind of businessman who cares about every detail.

But no one has ever been able to cultivate such a spirit.

No matter how old a fox is, his eyes can't hide anything from others.

At most, I just don’t do this business.

The old shopkeeper is in his fifties.

Look at the people around him.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, they are both introverted and elegant.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through the old shopkeeper's mind.

Holding the wine cup, he poured it for himself, but in his heart he made a conclusion for the old shopkeeper in front of him.

He has also seen all four major caravans in southern Yunnan.

Furthermore, there are as many traders as gadflies on the Tea Horse Road.

Although his expression changed from shock, anger, to suspicion and fear, it only took a blink of an eye.

That is Chen Yulou.

But how could it be hidden from his sight?
He raised his eyes and looked over lightly.

Chen Yulou's expression remained unchanged.

He is lying!

"Mr. Chen was joking."

The woman in the red dress is bright and charming, and yet her every frown and smile reveal a coldness that repels others from thousands of miles away.

But he has never seen a man as tall as Kunlun.

The world is so big, how can you still find nothing to eat?
Nowadays, I have long lost that spirit.

But you can't just look at people on the surface, you have to look at their conversation and temperament.

Just looking at the way they dress, they are not much different from the merchants traveling from north to south.

The old shopkeeper suddenly felt like he was restless, and he wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

"In that case, how about asking the old shopkeeper to help us find a boat?"

Just when he was confused.

A gentle voice came again.

Looking for a boat?

The old shopkeeper's heart moved.

This condition was countless times simpler than meeting the River God. It was almost subconscious. The old shopkeeper accepted it immediately without any hesitation.

"That's no problem."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. I've been in Jianshui City for so many years, and I still know a lot of fishermen. It's not difficult to find a boat."

Speaking of this, the old shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something again.

Just in case, added.

"I just don't know what kind of boat Mr. Chen needs?"

"It's best to use a fast boat, which doesn't need to carry too many people."

"That's a spear-boat or a schooner."

The old shopkeeper nodded.

He immediately stood up and hugged his fists.

"I'll contact the old man right away. I can't delay Mr. Chen's important event."

As he spoke, Chen Yulou hurried downstairs without waiting for anything to say, as if something would happen if he slowed down for even a second.

All the way to the counter downstairs.

The old shopkeeper let out a long sigh of relief.

"The shopkeeper..."

The waiter on the side didn't know what was going on. He thought something had happened to his shopkeeper, so he subconsciously stepped forward to help him.

"fine."

"Prepare a raincoat for me and go out with me."

The rain falling from the eaves outside the door was still hanging like a broken bead curtain. The old shopkeeper just waved his hand and gave instructions.

"It's already so late. Shopkeeper, if you need anything, just give me your order and I'll be there."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Whether I can survive this year as the shopkeeper is anyone's guess..."

"what?"

The guy was stunned.

Obviously a little unresponsive.

The old shopkeeper had already turned around, picked up the teapot and took a sip. He carefully thought about what happened upstairs. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the boy was evil.

How old are you?

A veteran like him was so immobile by him.

The whole process is under his control.

Seeing this, the clerk scratched his head and ran quickly towards the warehouse without daring to delay.

Not long after.

I saw him coming back with two coir raincoats.

After getting dressed with the help of the waiter, the old shopkeeper took the bamboo hat and put it on his head, then crossed the threshold with his hands behind his back and walked straight out in the rain.

The boy following behind saw the direction leading out of the city, and the look of surprise on his face suddenly became stronger.

But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

I could only catch up quickly in the rain.

"The shopkeeper is here."

On the second floor, by the window, a waiter looked through the gap in the window edge at the retreating figures of an old man and a young man in the night, and turned back to Chen Yulou, who was still pouring himself a drink.

"Okay, come back and eat."

"Stay here for the next two days and have a good rest."

Chen Yulou put down his wine cup and glanced at everyone in the building calmly.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

From his previous conversations with the old shopkeeper of the restaurant, a smarter waiter would be able to guess a thing or two, so there weren't too many surprises at this moment.

Plus, after leaving Maluzhai.

I have been traveling almost non-stop these past few days, so it is a good thing to stop and take a break.

See everyone immersed in eating.

Partridge Whistle and the others became more and more curious.

"Brother Chen, are you planning to take a boat to the lake to try your luck tomorrow?"

With the connections of the old shopkeeper.

Finding a ship is not difficult.

But...how to meet the River God is unclear.

Don't blame him for asking.

The waters of Fuxian Lake are really too vast.

Now standing on the second floor, opening the window and looking into the distance, I can only feel the majestic and endless water vapor in the vast darkness.

Trying to meet the River God in such a large lake is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"No no no."

Chen Yulou waved his hand, looked at several people with a smile and asked.

"Why look for it instead of waiting for it to come to you?"

"Wha, what?!"

Hearing this, even Partridge Whistle couldn't understand it.

The remaining people were even more confused.

"Brother Chen, don't be so pretentious. He's the River God. Why would he come looking for you?"

Hua Ling tilted her head. She really couldn't figure it out and couldn't help pouting.

"That's right, shopkeeper, you're so greedy, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep well when we go back tonight."

The red girl on the side also echoed.

As for the other people, although they did not speak, the anticipation in their expressions said everything.

"OK OK."

Seeing this, Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"You think, if another dragon appears in the lake, will the river god still be able to sit still?"

The second dragon?
A simple sentence.

It's like lighting a lantern in the vast night.

Hua Ling felt a flash of inspiration in her mind, "Is it the one suppressing the one under the Jing Building?"

"clever!"

Chen Yulou glanced at her appreciatively.

As the old saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone the old Jiao who monopolizes the vast Fuxian Lake.

With its control over the lake.

Even if they are hundreds of miles apart, once they smell the same kind of scent, they will come regardless of the cost. certainly.

Except for the essence and blood of the dragon.

Chen Yulou's greatest confidence still comes from the dragon slough.

A giant dragon about to escape from the water.

Maybe he could bear the presence of someone beside him, but he could never resist the temptation of transforming into a dragon.

Next.

The group said nothing more and concentrated on eating.

I have to say that the old shopkeeper does have something to offer in opening such a restaurant in Jianshui City.

Several Sichuan dishes are cooked to suit everyone's appetite.

You know, Sichuan and Hunan cuisine are famous for their spiciness. Nowadays, thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan, it is really rare to be able to taste a taste of local cuisine.

Wait until the night gets darker.

After eating and drinking, the group went straight to the backyard to rest under the guidance of the restaurant waiter.

The night passed quietly.

Early the next morning.

Chen Yulou opened his eyes from meditating.

Opening the window, it rained last night till late at night. Now it has stopped raining. The air is extremely fresh. Taking a deep breath makes you feel refreshed.

There are several old trees planted in the patio opposite the window.

Falling rainwater.

Bend the branches and slide them off the leaves.

There was a splashing sound from the water tank that had been knocked down in the patio.

Looking beyond the high wall and looking into the distance, the entire Fuxian Lake was shrouded in thick fog, a vast expanse of white.

"Mr. Chen, is it so early?"

Just as he was looking into the distance.

In the corner of the patio downstairs, a window was also opened from the inside.

The old shopkeeper was holding his pipe and woke up very sleepy. He didn't get back until very late last night, but because he was old and had little sleep, the sound of rain falling made him sleepless, so he simply put on his clothes and got up.

did not expect.

Looking up, he saw Chen Yulou leaning against the window.

I don't know what I thought of, and my face looked a little ugly.

"The old shopkeeper is the one."

Chen Yulou smiled.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen, I already went to inquire about it last night."

The old shopkeeper didn't bother to smoke at this moment, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyebrows, "There is a boat, but..."

"No one wants to enter the lake, right?"

Chen Yulou guessed it as soon as he heard his tone.

"Yes."

The old shopkeeper nodded.

"The turmoil on the lake has become more and more intense in the past two years. Those fishermen would rather make a living by farming or ferrying goods on the river than dare to fish in the lake again."

"Where's the charter boat?"

For this matter.

Chen Yulou was not surprised.

There are people who want money rather than life, just like Ba Mo back then, but nothing is absolute.

If it really happened to me.

For a few scraps of silver, not only would one risk one's wealth and one's life, but most importantly, one would also have to take the risk of offending Lord Long, which of course no one was willing to do.

"rent?"

The old shopkeeper's hand holding the pipe shook.

He really hadn't thought about this.

"It's okay to buy it. If Chen spends money and has enough money, he will naturally not be contaminated by the river god's karma."

"That should be no problem."

The old shopkeeper nodded. Those fishermen had no way of living, and they would definitely not refuse if they could sell their boats.

"In that case, please ask the old shopkeeper to take us there later."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen."

The old shopkeeper agreed in one breath.

To be honest, this is also the reason why I didn't sleep well last night.

After all, he didn't know how to face it if the things he promised were not done properly.

That gang of fishermen are tougher than cows. Last night, they were all talking about it, but no one let go.

Now that he has this two-pronged strategy, how can he not be happy?
Return inside.

I washed up briefly.

Let Kunlun knock on the door of Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner.

Bring Yuan Hong and Nu Qingji.

I specially found two guys who were good at water skills and knew how to sail a boat.

The rest stayed in Jianshui City.

The group of people had breakfast and then followed the old shopkeeper all the way out of the city.

Jianshui City is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Not big though.

But living in the city is equally difficult.

Those fishermen can only live by the water, build a few simple thatched houses, or even live on boats.

Once entering the port.

Those people recognized the old shopkeeper, and their expressions showed a bit of evil.

But the old shopkeeper seemed to have never heard of it. On the way here, he specifically asked about the price. To be honest, the price offered by Chen Yulou made him a little excited.

Unfortunately.

The restaurant he opened did not have a boat.

And that price also gave him great confidence.

What kind of knowledge can a group of fishermen make a living? They have probably never seen so much money in their lives.

He stepped forward to negotiate for a few words.

really.

Hear the price he quoted.

The expressions of everyone who originally looked unkind suddenly turned to astonishment, and their attitude towards the old shopkeeper also changed from bad to flattering.

Scrambling to say something.

Although far apart.

They also use the dialects of various ethnic groups.

But Chen Yulou knew that this trip was safe.

After a while, the old shopkeeper returned and asked them to go to the port to see the ship.

Chen Yulou's requirements are not high.

Just be fast and steady.

After looking around for a while, we finally selected a large schooner.

It was almost 70% new, and it could be seen that the boatman was very attentive. He specially painted it with tung oil, and the cabin was kept spotless. Several people were quite satisfied and paid immediately.

"Old shopkeeper, Chen is about to enter the lake, so I won't see you off."

A group of people boarded the ship one by one.

Chen Yulou, who was last, looked at the old shopkeeper and said.

"Mr. Chen, don't blame the old man for talking too much. It's really dangerous on the lake. Be careful. If you really... really encounter the river god, don't rush into him. Just say something nice and you might be able to turn the danger into good luck."

The old shopkeeper hesitated to speak, but finally sighed and warned.

"Thank you."

Chen Yulou felt hot in his heart.

The old shopkeeper has good intentions, but his trip to Fuxian Lake has been decided for a long time, and he must go there this time.

Leave a message.

Without hesitation, he turned around and boarded the ship.

Under the complicated eyes of a group of people on the shore, the big boat broke through the fog on the lake and headed straight to the depths of the lake.

As soon as the boat enters the lake.

The expressions of several people in the group became solemn.

He raised his bow and held his sword, staring at the surroundings.

Completely different from this, Chen Yulou, who was standing on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his hands, seemed to be watching the scenery, his eyes were calm and his expression was free and easy.

only.

No one noticed it.

In a pair of night eyes, there is a spiritual light flickering, and the surrounding thick fog is like a veil, without any hindrance.

More than half an hour later.

Until the scorching sun rose, the fog on the lake quickly dissipated, and a small island appeared in the water ahead.

"Yinghai Mountain!"

"Go to the island!"

Chen Yulou pointed to the hill in the lonely lake and signaled to the man who was driving the boat.

The two of them did not dare to delay.

Quickly bring the boat to the edge of the island.

Different from Liangwang Mountain, Yinghai Mountain is very small, less than two or three miles in size. The mountain is rugged with rocks, and several stone tablets dating back to the past can be faintly seen.

Signaling several people to take their respective positions.

He also ordered Nu Qingji to restrain his breath.

When everything was ready, Chen Yulou took out the dragon's eye and placed it on the top of the stone tablet engraved with the island in the Yinghai Sea. He held the dragon's slough in the palm of his left hand.

The strong scent of the monster dragon drifted away in the wind.

The dragon energy on the dragon's slough is hidden inside.

What followed was a surge of spiritual consciousness that filled the sky like rain.

Chen Yulou seems to be calm, but in fact, his energy has been locked in all directions, especially in the big lake under the island.

Facing the roaring water and wind, even he couldn't help but feel emotional.

That day I fished for six-winged centipedes at Pingshan, and then fished for undead insects outside the Yibotan cave.

did not expect.

Playing bigger today.

It was actually fishing for dragons on Fuxian Lake.

wow-

The wait was less than half a quarter of an hour.

There was a large lake in the distance that was originally calm.
