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

Chapter 231 The character of thunder attracts thunder beads!
One night of running.

It was dawn the next day.

A group of more than ten old foreigners took advantage of the cool autumn mist to return to Chenjiazhuang.

Except for the village guards guarding the city, almost no one noticed it.

but……

Uncle Fish seems to be always there.

This old man, who has been in the Chen family for decades, always likes to lean against the wall and take a nap when he has nothing to do. But as long as there is something to do, he is like an old falcon, able to detect every move of the Chen family at all times.

He personally led a group of people to the living room.

Then he went to call Chen Yulou who was in retreat.

When the young master went upstairs, he quietly closed the door and sat on the stone steps outside the building with his hands behind his back. He closed his eyes with his hands clasped behind his back, looking like a comatose old man.

"I've met Shopkeeper Chen."

"Shopkeeper Chen."

"Always in charge."

third floor.

Chen Yulou just opened the door.

Upon noticing the movement, everyone who was waiting with hot tea in their hands immediately stood up.

Each one of them looked indescribably excited.

Even the fatigue of running around day and night was suppressed.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou couldn't guess what happened. For a moment, even his expression could not help but feel a hint of shock.

To know.

from their departure to their return.

Just one day and one night.

Judging from the news coming from the Jianghu, Chenzhou City has become a mess.

Seizing the talisman is like taking chestnuts from the fire.

It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.

To be honest, he didn't actually have high hopes, so he specifically told them before they left that safety was the first priority and the ancient talisman was the second.

But I never expected it.

The old foreigners are so efficient.

"Shopkeeper Chen, we and everyone have lived up to their trust and have retrieved the ancient talisman."

The moment when one suddenly loses consciousness.

The old foreigner untied the baggage that was slanted on his chest, carefully opened it, and placed all the items on the coffee table.

Chen Yulou glanced away.

Two cloth bags, three pieces of yellow paper, and an amazing-looking strange insect.

"This is?"

The strange insect seemed to be sleeping.

like a statue.

But he could clearly feel a strange aura between life and death from it.

"insanity!"

"It's a Gu insect that was given by Senior Basu before leaving the city to cover the aura of the ancient talisman."

The old foreigner did not hide anything and responded word for word.

"Is this Gu?"

Although Xiangyin and Xiangxi are separated by water.

However, most of the Miao village Gu masters who are good at cultivating Gu live in seclusion in the mountains and rarely walk in the rivers and lakes.

For example, in the Shibadong Village in Laoxiong Ridge and the South Village and North Village where Yi and Han people live together, there are almost no real Gu farmers due to the numerous trades that come and go.

Those witches in the village are actually more interested in voodoo medicine.

This is the first time I have seen a Gu insect.

There are rumors in Miaojiang that Gu is a medium that connects people and ghosts and gods, yin and yang, life and death. In the past, Chen Yulou only regarded it as a rumor, but now feeling the aura emanating from his body, he believed it 50% to 60%.

"Yes, it seems to be something called Mountain Covering Gu..."

The old foreigner said a little uncertainly.

Before we separated last night, Basu mentioned something vaguely, but at that time he was only thinking about leaving the city and didn't hear it clearly.

"This talisman..."

Nodding, Chen Yulou casually picked up a piece of talisman paper. Judging from the touch, the paper was extremely rough. It was the most common yellow paper on the market.

But it can make the two thunder altars fight to the death, and they will seize the ancient talisman at the cost of bloodshed.

How could it be so simple?
Generally speaking, talismans range from low to high, ranging from paper talisman, bamboo talisman, copper talisman, jade talisman to bone talisman.

There are three grades of paper talismans: upper, middle and lower.

The yellow talisman paper is the lowest, followed by the red talisman paper, and the highest level is the black talisman paper.

The red talisman corresponds to the five elements, and the black talisman represents heaven and earth.

"Shopkeeper Chen, that is the induction talisman used by the two thunder altars to detect ancient talismans."

Chen Yulou looked surprised and suspicious.

The old foreigner hurriedly explained.

"I'll just say it."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou understood.

Since coming into contact with the Yunlu Heavenly Book, coupled with the five cultivation skills recorded in Qingmu Gong, his attainments in talismans have been extremely profound.

I dare not say that it can be broken at a glance.

But at least the distinction between superior and inferior is enough.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old foreigner had already opened the small bag.

For a while.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense.

From entering Chenzhou to returning to Xiangyin, for a full day and night, they had never seen the appearance of the ancient talisman, and they did not even know what it was.

Now I finally have the chance to see it.

So even Yang Fang subconsciously sat up straight, widened his eyes, and stared at the bag.

As for Zhang Yunqiao and the others, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone.

As the rope at the girdle falls.

The objects in the bag were finally displayed in front of everyone.

A talisman carved from sapphire.

There is also a thumb-sized bead.

"Ancient Talisman?"

"The city is so violent, just for a piece of jade?"

"The material looks pretty good, and the patina is ok, but the top is only two small yellow croakers."

"Shut your mouth if you don't understand. Can this thing just be based on the material?"

The group of people's eyes almost subconsciously fell on the jade talisman.

They are all old gangsters who have been around for many years.

The eyesight is still there.

In a few words, the jade talisman itself was clearly explained.

It’s just that, whether it’s a plain ware or an antique, the material is only secondary. The real value lies in the time given to it.

Just like the jade seal passed down to the country, although its material value is amazing enough, it is because it was used by Qin Shihuang to found the country, and the meaning given by the eight words "Ordered by Heaven, and he will live forever", that makes it the number one national treasure.

The same is true for Lanting Preface.

If the scene were changed in time and space, it would even be written by another person.

It is far from achieving its achievements.

Therefore, the most crucial thing is the heavenly script rune engraved on the ancient green jade.

It's a pity that talismans are not a field that ordinary people can dabble in, let alone ancient talismans.

The so-called ancient.

Seemingly simple.

But not all talismans are qualified to be called ancient.

According to rumors from the Taoist sect, the earliest talismans were made by immortals who copied the cloud patterns and were given to mortals. There were thirty-six talismans in total, which were also called innate cloud talismans. Later, they were evolved by Taoist ancestors, and the seventy-two talismans were called acquired spiritual talismans.

In other words, those who can be labeled with ancient characters.

There are only thirty-six ways.

It is not difficult to imagine why Hu Zhai and Jin Zhai would fight to the death.

However, unlike the group of people who admired the blue jade talisman, Chen Yulou's attention was focused on the bead.

Don't know why.

From the first moment I saw it.

He had a strong premonition that the stone bead must be of great significance.

Just like the Muchen Bead that the Bishan people have been searching for.

But Chen Yulou doesn't have much idea about what it is at the moment, so he can only wait and study it slowly when he has time.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this should be the jade talisman."

The old foreigner pointed at the ancient sapphire talisman and said softly.

"The rhyme of the Tao is natural, and the clouds and patterns are condensed. It should be unmistakable."

Chen Yulou's eyes fell on the jade talisman.

Having seen the thirteen talismans in the Yunlu Heavenly Book, how could he not be able to tell them apart at this moment?

"Really?"

Hearing this, the old foreigner's heart finally fell back into his stomach.

To be honest, although he brought this talisman back with his own hands, he was not able to confirm it until now.

"of course."

Chen Yulou laughed out loud.

"Thanks to the old foreigner and brother Yang Fang for helping Chen come through such a big idea this time."

"where……"

Hearing this, the old foreigner waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's all thanks to you brothers, how can I dare to covet God's credit?"

"You kid... you are more humble now." Yang Fang, who had seen the whole process, became a little anxious when he heard this.

"Boss Chen, Yang Fang must be fair. The old foreigner has done the most to successfully retrieve the ancient talisman on this trip. The most we can do is take action."

"That's right, shopkeeper, all of us brothers are really embarrassed this time and haven't been able to help at all."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Yunqiao echoed.

Although their mission from the beginning to the end was not to seize the ancient talisman, they did not even complete the task. If this also requires sharing the credit, it is really unacceptable based on his character.

"Old foreign brothers, there is no need to be humble."

Seeing this, Chen Yulou basically had an idea in his heart.

Smiling at him and waving her hands.

"When Mr. Chen does something, he will always be rewarded for his merit. Whatever the old foreign brothers want, Mr. Chen will do his best to achieve it."

"Shopkeeper Chen, you're welcome. The three of us, brothers and sisters, are here today thanks to help. How dare we ask for anything else."

The old foreigner shook his head seriously.

For him, this trip to Chenzhou was just a small favor, far less than one percent of what Chen Yulou helped to move mountains.

If you still need benefits, is it still considered a person?

"In that case, let's keep it in mind for the time being. It won't be too late when the old foreigner brother thinks of it."

Been together for so long.

Chen Yulou knew him very well.

In other words, the three brothers and sisters who moved the mountain were almost carved out of the same mold.

Even the most beautiful flower spirit on weekdays is actually like this.

"What about brother Yang Fang?"

Taking a step back, Chen Yulou looked at Yang Fang again.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Chen, I am different from the wooden pile like him. Since you have said it, I will boldly ask for it."

Yang Fang grinned.

Not polite at all.

"Just say it."

Seeing this, Chen Yulou also smiled at the corners of his eyes. He liked Yang Fang's character, he was straightforward and bold, and never tried to hide anything.

"That's what shopkeeper Chen promised me that day in Lushan."

"Practice?"

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

He thought Yang Fang was asking for something from him, but he didn't expect that this matter was still on his mind.

"I have already told Kunlun that as long as Brother Yang Fang is willing, he can practice with him at any time."

"but……"

"One code is the same, and naturally things of that day cannot be discussed today."

"Huh?" Yang Fang scratched his head, "How about Shopkeeper Chen find me some masters to compete with."

"My hands are really itchy."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou was even more helpless.

Since Yang Fang entered the village, he has been working almost non-stop. Everyone inside and outside the village, including Kunlun and Lao Yang, has been forced to compete. So far, I am afraid that only four of them, namely him, Partridge Xiao, Hua Ling and Hong Girl, have been spared. .

"In this way, there are many good players among the brothers on Changsheng Mountain."

"Brother Yang Fang, if you have free time, you can go there. Chen and others will definitely not stop you, how about that?"

"Good good."

Hearing this, Yang Fang's lips almost reached behind his ears.

How can I still be unwilling?

"As for the brothers on the mountain, everyone has merit."

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper."

Everyone accompanying him, including Zhang Yunqiao, all held their fists in surprise.

Because it's too early.

Chen Yulou didn't keep them much longer.

Instead, let everyone go back to rest first.

I plan to hold a celebration banquet for them in the evening.

A moment later.

Silence returned to the living room again.

Chen Yulou was the only one left in the huge room.

Picking up the bead, as soon as he put it in his hand, he immediately noticed a warm and jade-like texture.

But with his eyesight, he could see at a glance that the beads were made of neither gold nor jade.

"strangeness……"

Chen Yulou frowned slightly as he rubbed it gently with his fingers.

His expression was full of surprise and uncertainty.

"Wait, this smells."

While thinking about it, the bead in his hand unconsciously came up to the tip of his nose, and Chen Yulou's heart suddenly moved.

The smell was indescribably familiar.

"cinnabar?"

The whole bead is dark in color, but when placed in the sun, it has an indescribable sense of transparency, appearing dark red, with faint blood flowing like catkins.

"Cinnabar jade..."

Seeing these features, Chen Yulou almost exclaimed in surprise.

Cinnabar jade is not actually jade, but a derivative mineral that can only be produced in cinnabar mines. It is hard in texture and reddish in color, so it is commonly known as golden top red.

But this kind of thing was not discovered until decades later.

Therefore, even with his excellent eyesight, he had no clue for a while.

Just who could have imagined.

As early as this era, some people in Chenzhou were using gold-topped red products.

but……

Chenzhou Cinnabar Talisman has a history of more than a thousand years.

Thinking this way, it seems reasonable.

After exhaling, Chen Yulou held his breath and concentrated, continuing to ponder.

As it turned back and forth between the fingers, the color of the beads became more and more transparent, like a diamond, but strangely, the gray stone skin on the outside seemed to be artificially pasted, and seemed to be covering up something.

Subconsciously.

A dark energy floated in Chen Yulou's palm.

With fingertip pressure.

Sure enough, tiny stone chips fell from the beads.

Then...

The true colors of cinnabar and jade beads were revealed in front of him.

On the bead, someone actually carved a rune using extraordinary means.

"This...is exactly the same as the ancient talisman?"

The moment I saw it.

Chen Yulou noticed a strong sense of familiarity.

He immediately picked up the jade talisman lying on the coffee table.

Using the light outside the window, I carefully compared the jade beads and the talismans on the jade talisman, both in style and texture, and they were exactly the same.

"In other words, the jade beads were copied from ancient talismans?"

"No wonder, the ancient talisman and the jade beads are placed together."

Looking at the two runes, Chen Yulou couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

At the same time, I vaguely grasped something in my heart.

"so……"

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, almost subconsciously, and a ray of green light floated in Chen Yulou's palm.

but……

next moment.

An extremely terrifying aura emerged from the jade bead that originally looked like a dead thing, as if thunder was falling.

wrong!

Not as if.

Chen Yulou suddenly pushed open the window, and then he discovered that dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky that was already gradually lighting up, and the whole world was once again plunged into darkness.

Simultaneously.

Deep in the black clouds, lightning beams began to gather.

Covering the entire Chenjiazhuang.

It seems that the next moment, it will be erased from the world.

"Damn it...it's a thunder talisman!"

Seeing this shocking scene, Chen Yulou felt that all the hairs on his body were standing on end. How could he not guess the origin of the ancient talisman.

Thunder character!
And that jade bead is clearly the one made by some lunatic in Chenzhou Lei Tan!
Its only function is to summon the Nine Heavens Thunder.

With a rare curse word, Chen Yulou pushed open the door and stepped out. His spiritual movement was almost pushed to the extreme, and at the same time, his spiritual thoughts connected with Luofu.

-

A cry that penetrated the clouds and cracked the rocks resounded in the backyard.

next moment.

A burst of fire shot into the sky.

Luofu spread his wings and appeared outside Chen Yulou with a stern look.

Simultaneously.

Awakened by this vision of heaven and earth, figures inside and outside Zhuangzi quickly pushed open the door or broke the window and rushed out.

"what happened?"

"Thunder...how could lightning and thunder suddenly occur?"

"Is the sky falling apart?"
