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

Chapter 196 The most sacred object in ancient and modern times, the Guixu Cauldron

This is a guess.

Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but have a flash of disbelief on his face.

Rumors about the Eight Mirrors of King Qin.

It exists not only in folklore, but also in the notes of scholars of all dynasties, and even in history books.

The ancient Legalist mirror belongs to the founder of the Legalist School.

It is said that this bronze mirror, cast on Ziyang Mountain, can illuminate the propriety, justice, integrity and shame of heaven and earth.

After the Qin Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he collected numerous antiques from the six kingdoms, including this bronze mirror.

Because there were eight bronze mirrors of this kind, which he kept in his palace and often admired, they were named the Eight Mirrors of the King of Qin.

In addition, although it is not as famous as the King of Qin Bone Mirror.

To accurately find Ziyang Mountain in the pre-Qin era is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

It almost died out.

It's on the gold-like stones around the ancient Legalist mirror.

But it was the Warring States Period.

Just three or four places.

Chen Yulou frowned slightly and pointed out this point keenly.

Before that, it was mostly called Ruishishan in books.

But as soon as the thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Ziyang Mountain..."

And the time when the ancient Legalist mirror appeared.

But no matter what kind of rumors, they have never connected it with the ancient country of Guixu.

However, if this is the case, the conclusion is contrary to Ziyang Mountain.

Forge artifacts with the help of dragon fire in water.

If it had only been a hundred years or a thousand years, it might still be possible to find it, but thousands of years have passed, and the ancient place names in the pre-Qin era have been changed countless times.

We can also get a glimpse of the tyranny of Legalist ancient mirrors.

Just like the remains of the Qingchi Taoist whom I met in the Pingshan Danjing Coffin Mountain before, according to the epitaph and the photo on the coffin wall, he described himself as a Qingchi Mountain person.

According to the timeline, the Guixu Ancient Kingdom could last until the Xia and Shang Dynasties thousands of years ago. By the Western Zhou Dynasty, its national power had reached its peak.

but……

It also has the meaning of spinning.

If you calculate it this way, it seems reasonable that the founder of Legalism went to the ancient country of Guixu and asked the people of Guixu to cast bronze mirrors for him.

Since then.

However, after the Emperor Zhou ordered it to build the Guixu Trigram, this ancient country in the sea gradually fell into decline.

exactly.

For a moment, Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel in a trance.

However, the ancient Legalist mirror is a tool for suppressing righteousness and is most capable of restraining evil spirits.

These days, transportation is inconvenient and information is extremely limited.

Chen Yulou's eyes flashed, and his eyes continued to fall on the bronze mirror.

However, Ziyang Mountain at that location can only be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty. Because Ziyang Nunnery was built on the mountain, it was named Ziyang Mountain.

The disaster of Ao Shi was completely suppressed.

But afterwards, Chen Yulou specially asked people to go to Jianghu to inquire about it.

Some people continue to live on the bottom of the sea, while more people come ashore and gradually become Dan people.

Qingchi Mountain is almost nowhere to be found.

This is also one of the biggest features of Legalist ancient mirrors.

When the First Emperor came to the throne, a corpse of a turtle was causing trouble in the Yellow River, destroying countless ships. He ordered people to take an ancient Legalist mirror and hang it at the mouth of the Yellow River.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the first southeast peak of Mount Wu.

He had only heard of Ziyang Mountain.

Put away the distracting thoughts in your mind.

Don't say anything else.

"But..."

By the Qin and Han dynasties.

The scene that happened before my eyes was extremely real.

The Chen family has been fighting for generations and has handled countless antiques and artifacts. Chen Yulou grew up in Guanyun Tower since he was a child. The antiques piled up like mountains, and his eyesight was developed to a level far beyond ordinary people.

But even he saw this for the first time.

Neither gold nor jade.

But the sword is hard to break.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the circle of decorative stones, and Chen Yulou's heart suddenly moved.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his finger and lightly scratched the stone.

The texture is fine, like glass.

"Is this glaze melted at high temperatures?!"

Feeling that special texture, Chen Yulou understood it immediately.

No wonder it is only seen in books.

But I have never heard of the name of the stone.

If this object only existed in the deep sea of ​​Guixu, was smelted by endless dragon fire in the water, and was used as gold and stone embellishment by the ancient people of Guixu, how could people far away on land know about it.

The key is.

With the demise of the ancient country of Guixu.

This thing also disappeared together with it, and no one knows about it anymore.

"So, there is really some connection between this Fang Tongjian and the ancient country of Guixu?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but murmured.

Who could have imagined this.

The founder of Legalism once traveled thousands of miles to the place of Guixu and asked someone to cast a bronze mirror for him.

No one would believe it.

After all, even he felt like a fantasy after coming to this conclusion at this moment.

"wrong."

Between surprise and doubt.

Chen Yulou seemed to have thought of something. He was always calm and calm, but there was a rare beating sound under his chest.

Legalist ancient mirrors come from the ancient country of Guixu.

So, does this mean that it can actually be used as a substitute for the Guixu hexagram mirror.

Just go to Baiyan Cave to retrieve the last Eyeless Dragon Talisman.

Is it considered that the Guixu Ancient Cauldron has reappeared in the world?
This way.

Wouldn’t all the previous worries be gone?

You must know that the most difficult thing about returning to the ancient cauldron is not the four talismans, but the mirror.

Since the tomb of Emperor Mu of Zhou Dynasty was robbed during the Western Han Dynasty, the ancient tripod, four talismans and a mirror have been scattered everywhere.

After all, there is still a little bit of news floating around Si Fu.

But the Guixu hexagram mirror has never been missing from the beginning to the end.

If it weren't for his identity as a time traveler, he might never be able to find it in his lifetime. After all, who would have thought that it was sleeping in a coral spiral in the deep sea at this moment?

A trip to the South China Sea may not be on the agenda for a while.

Not to mention the Coral Spiral.

This is also the reason why he has not moved the Guixu ancient cauldron for a long time.

But things in the world are fickle, and even he could not have imagined that a subconscious action with a flash of inspiration could lead to such unexpected joy.

The Guixu Ancient Cauldron may not be as good as the Muchen Pearl, but the latter is after all a thing of the ancient gods, and it was forged by man.

It can definitely be regarded as a divine object.

Ancient tripod, hexagram mirror and four talismans.

The six artifacts are all used for divination.

Through it, it is said that one can understand the past, present and future.

That's why Emperor Zhou would force the haters to hand him over at all costs.

What he wants is to use the ancient tripod to divine the method of immortality.

This is why, after the Eyeless Dragon Talisman wandered to the Baiyan Cave outside the desert, Xianbei witches of all generations rumored that the Eyeless Dragon Talisman contained the secret of immortality and dragon transformation.

In fact, they are all of the same origin.

But those were just rumors.

Chen Yulou had been planning for so long, but he finally saw a glimmer of possibility.

of course.

He is actually gambling.

After all, there is still a big difference between the ancient Legalist mirror and the Guixu hexagram mirror.

It is said that there is a hole in the Guixu hexagram mirror. When the four talismans of dragon, fish, human and ghost are adjusted to a mysterious angle, the dragon energy can reflect everything through the eye in the mirror.

The ancient Legalist mirrors are integrated into one body.

When the time comes to recover the Eyeless Dragon Talisman, it is still unclear whether it will be able to achieve the effect of the hexagram mirror.

"No matter what, at least it provides a way for the present."

Chen Yulou breathed out.

The number one divine object throughout the ages, and getting one of them is already a great blessing.

It really doesn't work.

Just go outside the South China Sea.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Yulou stopped thinking about it and turned around to return to his desk.

But just as he turned around, his figure suddenly stopped.

The ancient Legalist mirror embedded in the wheel seal had been left in the Xianwangxuan Palace for too long and was stained by the water vapor from the underground river. The surface of the mirror was stained with rust.

If he didn't know the origin.

Anyone else would probably look down on him.

But at this moment...

The sea air in the ancient tripod and the three bronze talismans of the human, ghost and fish are constantly flowing, constantly infiltrating the ancient Legalist mirror.

The mottled patina is falling off like an eggshell.

Finally, the patterns of birds, beasts, insects, fish, and fire dragons chasing the sun are revealed.

It is almost identical to the totem on the ancient tripod of Guixu.

Simultaneously.

A subtle and obscure sea air also slowly diffused from the ancient Legalist mirror.

Blending with the breath in the hexagram tripod and bronze talisman.

"This..." Seeing this scene.

Chen Yulou's last bit of surprise and doubt disappeared completely in an instant.

The ancient Legalist mirror was definitely made by the Hentian family.

The projection on the wall before was the scene when the founder of Legalism asked Hentian to cast a bronze mirror.

call--

After a brief exclamation.

Chen Yulou did not stay any longer.

According to his calculations, this process is extremely long and will not end in a short while.

Moreover, the Eyeless Dragon Talisman has not yet been found, and even looking at it for days and nights is in vain.

He walked lightly to the desk with his hands behind his back.

Chen Yulou breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and then took out a pen and paper.

By the bright lights all around.

Start writing and writing vigorously.

Maintaining the posture of bending over the desk, he put away his ink pen after a full hour or two. On the rice paper in front of him, ancient, natural, and obscure talismans emerged.

It is clearly the Thirteen-Character Cloud Book engraved on the ghost whip.

In the past few days since I returned to the village, I have been busy with other things.

Now I finally have the time to concentrate on my practice.

For him, the most important thing right now is these clouds.

A heavenly book taught by the legendary immortal.

If you can understand everything.

It's like having one more magical power.

There is no need to set up an altar or recite incantations, the talisman is created by waving your hand.

Slay demons and conquer demons.

Just thinking about it makes your blood boil.

In the grotto, Chen Yulou's mind sank into it. On the other side, the sea air flowed back and forth between the ancient tripod, the bronze talisman and the bronze mirror.

The fog is filling the air.

Time is also passing quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

Outside Chenjiazhuang.

A group of people rode horses to break through the early morning clouds and fog, and the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.

They looked dusty.

However, all of them were in high spirits and did not look like they had been traveling all night.

Especially the man at the front, who is in his forties, has a tall figure, dark skin, wearing a short jacket, and carrying a wooden box behind him.

The smile on his face never stopped.

Especially the closer he gets to Chenjiazhuang, the more transparent his eyes become.

Li Shuguo himself could not have imagined that he had only come here twice in total, but his state of mind could be said to be earth-shaking twice.

Think back to the beginning.

I heard that someone from Changsheng Mountain came to invite me.

He thought he was certain to die, and even wrote a suicide note to prepare a way out for his wife and children, and designated the next generation of mountain masters for Honeycomb Mountain.

But after arriving at Chenjiazhuang, he discovered that Chen Yulou was not as popular as the rumors in the world.

The greatest thief in the world.

A green forest bandit who kills without blinking an eye.

Not only that, but after spending a month together, Chen Yulou gave him the impression that he was a handsome young man as gentle as jade.

Character as a person.

This is true.

The last time he went back, Chen Yulou not only sent people to escort him all the way, but also spent a lot of money.

but.

As the current mountain owner of Honeycomb Mountain.

Li Shuguo didn't attach much importance to gold and silver. What surprised him most was the materials provided by Chen Yulou.

The inner tendons of the big demon.

That's the stuff of legend.

Something that neither dad, grandpa, nor ancestors could do.

It comes true in his hands.

Let him know too.

The family heirloom book Zhang Jiuya Weapons Genealogy is not a fiction, but a real thing.

So much so that, after so long, the scene of the dragon scale sword coming out of the furnace that day was still lingering in his mind, and he would spend the middle of the night forging swords by the fireside in his dreams.

Therefore, this time Huama turned up the mountain and after briefly talking about the matter, Li Shuguo, who was still selling the utensils by the fireside, agreed without even thinking about it.

Then he put his pin-box on his back.

Came here overnight.

"Shopkeeper Li, we're here."

"However, it's still early now, and the shopkeeper is probably still resting. Should I take you to eat and rest first?"

All the way into the village.

Seeing how impatient he was, Huamaguai couldn't help but smile.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat."

"Um... Brother Kidnapper, can you let Li look at the materials first?"

Li Shuguo rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation on his face.

Last time he was in Chenjiazhuang, he also learned something about the situation. He knew that the brother next to him looked weak, but he was firmly occupying the second position in Changsheng Mountain.

"This……"

Huamaguai looked helpless.

He received the order that day and took the people away.

He didn't even know what the material was, so how could he take him to see it?

However, before he could speak, the originally closed door of Guanyun Tower was opened from the inside, and a hearty laughter came out.

"Hahaha, shopkeeper Li is still so impatient."

Hear the words.

The two people who were talking subconsciously turned around.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Yulou who walked out of the door?
Stay in seclusion for three consecutive days.

But his eyes were bright and energetic, and he didn't look tired at all.

"The shopkeeper's."

Huamaguai grinned.

Li Shuguo came back to his senses and quickly clasped his fists, "I've met shopkeeper Chen."

"Shopkeeper Li has worked hard all the way, why not wash up first..."

"No, no, no, shopkeeper Chen is too polite. I'm just a rough guy. I don't have to pay much attention to it. I can eat whatever I want. You just need to open my eyes first."

Take a bath and change clothes.

Li Shuguo suddenly had one head and two heads.

The iron-making furnace on Honeycomb Mountain was burning day and night. All the craftsmen, including him, the owner of the mountain, were bare-chested all day long, burning the furnace and forging iron.

There is no day that I am not covered in stinky sweat.

Fortunately for someone like him who has become a family, he can take a bath when he returns home.

Those guys are tired after a long day and almost fall asleep. They don't care whether they sweat or not, as long as they have enough to eat.

"Then just listen to Shopkeeper Li."

We had been together for more than a month.

Chen Yulou had some understanding of his character.

I know that the person in front of me is upright and straightforward. He always says what he has to say and doesn't make so many twists and turns.

He smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Take the two of them into the building.

When he was in seclusion a few days ago, he was worried that it would delay the time of refining the weapon, so he specially put the snake dragon ribs, dragon scales and blood essence together on the second floor.

Then he ordered Uncle Yu.

However, the time is right now, so there is no need to trouble the old man.

He looked at the jade boxes in front of him that were as tall as half a person.

Li Shuguo, who had seen demon tendons before, his eyes immediately lit up.

According to shopkeeper Chen, this is for easy preservation.

It will not damage the material itself.

He didn't know how to practice, but he was quite surprised by this way of preservation, so he kept it in his heart.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the building now, I saw four jade boxes.

Every bite is much bigger than it was that day.

Doesn't this mean that the jade box contains all the materials of the great demon that are similar to the demon tendon from back then?
"Open it and take a look?"

Look at his wide eyes and rapid breathing.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but bring up a smile.

Before he had practiced weapon refining, he was probably the only one in the world who could forge weapons out of monsters.

"It won't be rude, right?"

The word "expectation" was written on Li Shuguo's face, but he still spoke modestly without sincerity.

"Of course not."

Without revealing his thoughts, a wisp of green wood spiritual energy floated in Chen Yulou's palm, and he gently opened the nearest jade box.

The mouth of the box is sealed with invisible spiritual energy.

To prevent the demonic power from leaking out.

The moment he opened it, Li Shuguo looked over, and then he couldn't help being shocked and almost screamed.

In the jade box, there were actually countless scales as big as a palm, like fish scales.

Each piece is as black as ink, like gold or jade, and exudes an astonishing aura.

"This...is this?"

Li Shuguo asked himself that he had seen a lot in his life.

But when he saw those scales now, he had no idea what kind of big fish they were.

"Dragon scales!"
