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

Chapter 179 Laojiao’s spiritual contract

"Sir, how is Zhou's cave?"

He seemed to notice the vibration in his heart.

Zhou Jiao was walking upright, with his head raised and his eyebrows raised, his eyes flashing, and his pride could not be concealed in his seemingly casual tone.

"The beautiful buildings and jade buildings are magnificent and magnificent, which can be said to be an ingenious workmanship!"

Although Zhou Jiao practiced here for more than a thousand years.

He also has a deep understanding of human nature.

But in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a demon.

How do you understand the principle of hiding something deep and not revealing it?

However, it is normal to think about it. After all, since the Jiao Palace was built, Chen Yulou was the first outsider to visit here in thousands of years.

and so……

"If that's all, Zhou will treat them as ignorant, and those who don't know are not guilty, but..."

"This matter has to start from the sacrifice to the gods three years ago."

Seeing this, Chen Yulou didn't bother to beat around the bush and asked simply.

"Every February, the dragon raises its head as a day to worship the gods."

Even if it was Chen Yulou, he couldn't help but be shocked for a moment.

The laughter caused water mist to surge around.

Zhou Jiao originally wanted to hold some.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Although this Jiao is old, he still has the temperament of a child.

"Sir, tell me, what's wrong with Zhou setting off the tide?"

Everything in the building last night was replayed in his mind like a movie scene.

Hear the words.

"They actually used the sacrifice to the gods to bring a terton here in an attempt to suppress me."

"But after being together for so long, I can't tell that my senior is a vicious and murderous person. Can you explain to Chen why this is the case?"

But he also became increasingly puzzled.

According to the old shopkeeper, the river god suddenly went crazy and overturned the sacrificial boat. He barely escaped with his life. Since then, the tides on Fuxian Lake have continued, causing people to panic, and fishermen have almost lost their way to survive.

"To be honest, it's nothing. They want good weather, and I can enjoy the incense. It's a mutually beneficial solution."

From the look and tone of the old shopkeeper.

Its eyes were as cold as ice, and its murderous intent could hardly be concealed.

This matter may be carried out in extreme secrecy, and the old shopkeeper has no access to it at all.

He looked down at Chen Yulou.

Now that he finally met someone who knows the goods, how could Zhou Jiao let him go?
"Haha...good, good!"

"Senior, there's something you don't know whether to ask or not?"

It's not difficult to judge that he probably didn't lie.

Hear this very different answer.

"Termon?"

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't hold it any longer.

There is a whole cave full of gold and jade treasures, but no one shows them off.

It felt really boring and empty.

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiao's tone suddenly became sharp.

Zhou Jiao seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"But in recent years, because I have reached the critical moment of transforming into a dragon from water, I have been in seclusion in Shuifu for several years. I have not been seen for a long time. Those people have spread rumors everywhere, saying that I am a water demon and have never done anything at all. ."

"Chen has been in Jianshui City for a few days, but... the news I heard the most is that the lake has been unstable in the past few years, and many places have been flooded by high tides."

Anger arose out of nowhere, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed and suppressed his anger.

But the problem is that what Zhou Jiao said should also be true.

Chen Yulou frowned slightly.

"Sir, you are a great talent. Zhou wouldn't be able to think of such words."

"Sir, even if you speak frankly, as long as Zhou knows, he will tell you everything."

Zhou Jiao was in a good mood and wished he could pat his chest to ensure that he would do it.

"Suppress the dragon?!"

"Zhou has lived in Fuxian Lake for more than a thousand years. During these thousands of years, due to his spiritual practice, it was inevitable that I would come to the surface of the lake. Over time, the surrounding mountain people worshiped me as the river god of Fuxian Lake."

He was just a pawn in the ritual of worshiping the gods.

Responsible for escorting the sacrificial boat to the middle of the big lake.

You must know that a terton is not an ordinary person, he is the most mysterious practitioner in Tantra.

Only purpose.

It is to promote Tantric Dharma in the age of Dharma End.

Pursue the legacy of Master Liansheng.

These people are just like the Buddhists who meditate in silence and the Taoists who practice in seclusion. They put many shackles on themselves, do not enter the world of mortals, and live in isolation from the world.

Different from tantric masters and masters.

A tertön is a tantric monk who truly practices Buddhism.

The one who forcibly suppressed the black dragon at Longtan Mountain at the cost of sitting in the body was most likely the Terton.

And those who can come into contact with these people will definitely not be the people at the bottom of the city.

"Temple blessing?!"

Thousands of threads in his chaotic thoughts.

Chen Yulou's heart suddenly moved.

A person came to mind.

The old shopkeeper made it very clear last night that Dragon King Miao Miao Miao Zhu Lai is responsible for offering sacrifices to the river god every year.

only……

There was only one thing he couldn't figure out for the moment.

It stands to reason that Miao Zhu is the messenger between the mountain people and the river god, and his status is equivalent to that of the Wa village Moba. He should be the person who most hopes that the river god will appear.

How could he lead a wolf into the house?

Summon the termonist and try to suppress the old dragon?

But except for him, it is difficult for others to come into contact with people who practice Tantric Buddhism.

Headache!

Chen Yulou reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

I thought it was just an ordinary big demon making trouble, but I didn't expect that things turned out to be so twists and turns.

"There is one more thing I want to ask senior."

There was no immediate reply.

After all, Chen Yulou is just an outsider, so he can't talk nonsense without knowing the whole picture.

"Sir, speak frankly."

Zhou Jiao's eyes flickered, he hesitated, and then nodded.

"A few months ago, Chen met a captain on his way to southern Yunnan. He told a story about a past event. Thirty years ago, he sent a group of southern guests to Liangwang Mountain."

"While crossing the lake, it rained heavily and a deep whirlpool appeared in the water."

"A dragon appeared among them and devoured several people."

"I wonder... is this true or false?"

"Thirty years ago?"

Zhou Jiao was stunned and fell into deep thought.

To a person, thirty years is almost half a lifetime, but to it, it is just a breath.

"I remembered."

Not long after, Zhou Jiao's eyes lit up and he slowly uttered a few words.

However, his expression didn't change much, and his eyes were even colder than before.

"The Luo Cult fanatics dare to plot Zhou's inner elixir of dragon beads and send them to death. Isn't that too much?"

Luo Jiao? !
hear the word.

Chen Yulou's heart sank again.

Luo Jiao, also known as Luozu Jiao and Wuwei Jiao, originated from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It emphasizes the liberation of Wuwei, integrates the three teachings, and follows the path of inner alchemy practice.

Only in a few hundred years.

It has always been designated as an evil sect.

People in the Luo religion are like rats crossing the street and have been suppressed countless times.

But the wildfire cannot be burned out. This group of people keeps changing their names and hiding around. They will come out to cause trouble in troubled times.

If I remember correctly, Chen Yulou had heard of their name when he was traveling around the world a few years ago. He called himself a member of the Luo Dao Sect and went around recruiting people to join the sect.

But he never expected it.

Thirty years ago, those few southern nobles who went to Bamo Apu and spent a lot of money were actually members of the Luo Jiao sect who swayed the dragons of Fuxian Lake?

Damn it.

Such a weird twist.

Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but want to curse.

"Not too much!"

After exhaling, Chen Yulou shook his head and faced Zhou Jiao's gaze.

"What a shame, Zhou Mou only wants to transform into a dragon, but these young people are always doing dirty tricks behind his back."

Seeing him also recognized him.

Zhou Jiao suddenly felt like he had met a confidant.

For him, if he hadn't been so angry, he would definitely not have eaten people. This would harm the harmony of heaven and earth, and would do a lot of harm to it but not benefit it at all. It would be equivalent to adding disasters out of thin air when it transforms into a dragon in the future.

As for the relationship with the mountain people by the lake.

It has been peaceful for more than a thousand years.

If it hadn't been for the Terton, it would never have been like this.

"Forget it, I'm happy today, so I won't talk about these nonsense."

Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Zhou Jiao pointed to the palace pavilion in front of him, "Sir, please, please palm my eyes for me."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou also put aside his thoughts and nodded in agreement.

For other things, he might not be sure enough.

But the ability to identify treasures with palms and eyes is definitely engraved in the bones of the Chen family.

He also wanted to see what Zhou Jiao had hidden for thousands of years.

One person and one dragon stepped through the stone gate. Compared with the chaos in the front hall, although there were countless gold and silver piles here, at first glance, it was orderly and spotless in the chaos.

conceivably.

Whenever Zhou Jiao has free time, he will come here to enjoy it quietly.

Walked all the way.

Chen Yulou glanced around casually.

The treasures hidden among them are mostly antiquities from the ancient Dian Kingdom, Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom eras.

However, occasionally we can see the remnants of the ancient kingdoms of Ailao, Wuman and even Gouding.

Of course, there are also many objects from the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

Less than thirty steps.

It's like walking through thousands of years of history.

The Chen family's collection is almost entirely filled with priceless rare treasures.

But here, it can be collected by Zhou Jiao, but it has no value. The only similarity lies in whether it thinks the ancient object is rare enough.

"How about it?"

I saw him one by one.

Zhou Jiao asked impatiently.

Like a child who is eager to be recognized by adults.

"In my opinion, this place is comparable to the Dragon Palace Dazang."

Facing Lao Jiao's expectant eyes.

Chen Yulou said insincerely.

"Really?"

Zhou Jiao looked happy. For a dragon like him, being comparable to a real dragon is definitely the highest compliment.

"of course."

Hearing this, the joy in Lao Jiao's eyes could no longer be concealed.

For more than a thousand years.

It is in Fuxian Lake. Apart from practicing, almost most of the thoughts are spent on collecting these treasures.

Now I get such a comment.

It’s not like the work was in vain.

"Yes, sir."

While secretly delighted, Zhou Jiao suddenly thought of something. The dragon's tail rolled up, and the ghost-fighting whip placed on the sapphire stone platform flew out immediately, and the water broke and fell in front of it.

"This is the golden whip enshrined in the temple, take a look."

"You're welcome, Chen."

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, and the lake water in front of him suddenly condensed into a big hand, and he grasped the ghost whip.

He went down to the lake on this trip.

One of the biggest reasons is that we came here for it.

Green light flashes outside the body.

The ghost whip broke through the spiritual energy barrier and appeared in his hand. Looking down, he saw that just as Zhou Jiao said, the ghost whip was wrapped with gold threads, and thirteen strange inscriptions were faintly visible in it.

But he only glanced at it, and then his eyes were attracted to the whip tail.

It was a piece of white bone as long as a palm.

It has been carefully polished countless times, showing a jade-like color.

There are faintly visible black gold spots in it, just like embellishments, making it look even more impressive.

But the reason why Chen Yulou focused on it.

It's much more than that.

It was because he noticed a familiar aura from the white bones.

Mandrill!

Not bad.

The tail of the ghost whip is clearly made from a mandrill tibia, carefully polished and made of salt.

No wonder this whip can suppress ghosts.

According to legend, mandrills are also called mountain demons and feed on ghosts.

Coupled with the thirteen inscriptions, it is not difficult to understand that it can scare monsters and ghosts.

He stretched out his hand and held it gently. The bones were as white as jade and felt warm in his hands. He tried to wave it, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

but.

Chen Yulou frowned. It was obvious that the ability displayed by the ghost whip was far from enough.

It can be carried by the high priest of the ancient Dian King's City.

Offered into the temple.

I dare not say that it is like the divine whip in myths and legends, at least it shouldn't be at this level.

"Could it be..."

Chen Yulou pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

His mind moved.

A wisp of green wood spiritual energy rises from the sea of ​​​​qi, follows the veins of the limbs, passes through the palm, and pours into the tail of the whip.

boom!
It was almost the moment when spiritual energy circulated.

On the Ghost Beating Whip, which was originally as silent as a dead thing, golden light suddenly floated, and runes intertwined and lit up, as if the golden threads were ignited.

"This……"

Not far away.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jiao's pupils widened and he felt as if he had seen a ghost.

This whip has been around for hundreds of years at least.

It's not like it hasn't been studied.

But no matter how hard I tried, there was no movement from the ghost whip.

As time passed, it lost interest and simply threw it together with the gold and jade.

If it weren't for Chen Yulou's sincerity when he was on the lake before.

It racked its brains and just remembered.

I thought it would be a burden to keep it, so I might as well exchange it for a dragon slough. It would be a big profit no matter what.

But Zhou Jiao couldn't imagine it.

As soon as he got the whip, Chen Yulou took full control of it.

This motherfucker is really irritating.

but.

Zhou Jiao understood better that he could get a glimpse of his power from this.

"I see……"

Zhou Jiao was still secretly amazed.

On the other side, Chen Yulou's eyes have become more transparent, as bright as a lamp.

Just as he expected.

This whip is indeed a great Nuo witchcraft weapon, but in the world, there are different ways to achieve the same goal. If it is placed in the hands of a Taoist, it will be a whip to beat demons, and if it is placed in the hands of a priest, it will be a whip to beat ghosts.

Even if it is used by Mandrill.

It can also be called the natal demon weapon.

As for the thirteen runes engraved on the whip, they can merge with each other to form a large suppression formation.

Demon, evil, ghost, evil spirit.

They can all be ambushed and killed!

Although this object was made by the priests of the ancient Dian Kingdom, it has to be said that in terms of offensive power, it is almost comparable to the Zen tin staff and the Taoist magic sword.

When he was peeling off the green-scaled python's demon tendons in Bug Valley, he was still thinking of casting a long protective whip for Miss Hong.

did not expect.

I actually used it one step ahead of her.

"gentlemen?"

Zhou Jiao hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yulou came back to his senses and saw that its eyes were complicated, and he immediately cupped his fists and cupped his hands.

"Thank you for the gift, senior. This thing is exactly what Chen wanted."

Zhou Jiao was anxious, "It's not a gift... it's sincerity!"

It would be a lie to say that it is not a pity.

But compared to the dragon slough in Chen Yulou's hand, even if it were to happen again, it would not hesitate to send out the ghost whip.

Why do dragons need to rely on foreign objects?
It is the best fighting soldier in itself!

"Haha, yes, yes, senior Chen, you're welcome."

See how hard it tries to explain.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

This old dragon is really interesting. If he turns into a human one day, he might be able to get along with Yuan Hong.

"Then... dragon slough?"

Zhou Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Chen Yulou expectantly.

"The dragon sheds here."

Chen Yulou casually put away the ghost whip.

Turn the palm of your backhand.

In an instant, the dragon slough appeared in the palm of his hand again.

But he was not in a hurry to see her off, but looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile.

"But has Senior forgotten something?"

Hear this.

Zhou Jiao's eyes suddenly turned dark.

Spirit seed contract!

Of course it hasn't forgotten it, but... once it's signed, I'm afraid there will be an extra layer of shackles on it.

but.

The dragon energy emanating from that dragon slough.

But it attracts it crazily.

That is the traction connection from the blood.

Returning from the lake, it was thinking and struggling all the way.

Now I heard Chen Yulou mention it again.

It understood that the matter had reached a point where it had to make a choice.

"……it is good!"

He hesitated for a moment.

Zhou Jiao gritted his teeth and suppressed the last bit of hesitation.

Transform into a dragon!

This is its fifteen hundred years of obsession.

Now that the opportunity is so close, it's possible to do it as long as you agree. It really can't refuse this great opportunity and temptation.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou's last lingering thoughts finally came to an end.

"Please ask senior to open the spiritual orifice or Jiao Pass!"

"In addition... when planting a spirit, you must not stop it, otherwise forcibly interrupting it may sow the seeds of disaster, and the result will be unpredictable even for Chen."

Chen Yulou said in a warm voice.

Just like that day at Pingshan.

A conversation with White Ape.

"understood."

Zhou Jiao nodded.

"However, just in case, please make a no-kill oath, sir. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Zhou to have no reservations."

People cultivate the sea of ​​​​qi, demons cultivate the spiritual orifices, and snakes and dragons open the orifices behind their necks.

No matter snake beads, dragon beads or dragon beads.

All are condensed and cultivated in the key points.

But the Jiao Pearl is connected with its life essence and blood, and opening the Jiao Pass rashly is almost the same as stepping onto the guillotine.

That's why Zhou Jiao was so hesitant.

This is not just a shackles and chains, but a huge gamble.

Once Chen Yulou has other plans, with his strength, he will have almost no power to fight back.

"nature!"

Chen Yulou thought about it and figured out what it meant.

Make an oath immediately.

From the beginning, he never thought about killing it.

After all, killing a dragon is easy, but raising a dragon is definitely the first of its kind.

With the old Jiao's character and strength, and with the help of the dragon slough in his hand, the chance of transforming into a dragon is extremely high.

"it is good……"

After listening to his oath.

Zhou Jiao's hanging heart also fell back into his stomach.

No more hesitation.

He quickly gathered his mind and then opened the Jiao Pass.

In an instant.

A majestic tide of demonic blood and dragon aura filled the air from its body.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou nodded secretly.

Without any delay, he held his breath and concentrated on his Dantian. An astonishing green wood spiritual energy surged from all the orifices on his body, and finally condensed into an invisible spiritual seed.

"Aoki Eternal Life, All Souls Deed, Fusion!"
