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

Chapter 246 The Curse of Huhai Cultivation Breaks Out
For several days.

Everyone rarely slowed down their pace.

Not in a hurry.

Although Kunmo City is not big, its location is excellent, at the foot of the East Tianshan Mountains.

The melted water from the snow-capped mountains gathered into a river and flowed around the city. The impact of the river formed a rare impact plain downstream.

That's the mountains and forests we saw before entering the city.

It is not surprising to put it in Xiangyin.

But it is definitely a rare sight in the Gobi Desert.

In addition, starting from the west gate, winding up the foot of the mountain and passing through the canyon, there is a mountain lake, which the locals call Puleihai. It is connected to the snow-capped mountains and the lake water is cold and crystal clear.

Standing by the lake, people feel an indescribable sense of relaxation and tranquility.

It's as if the whole body is immersed in it.

If time were not urgent, once enough food was raised, they would set off to the sea of ​​​​fish, and Chen Yulou wanted to stay for a while.

but.

A few days won't work, but one night will do.

Several people in the group did not return to the city that night.

Instead, we chose to camp by the lake.

The snow has stopped snowing in the past two days and the weather has been sunny, but the temperature still dropped sharply after nightfall, and the temperature difference was astonishing.

Several people who came on this trip have some cultivation base.

Even Yang Fang has gradually started practicing Zhen Qigong.

This method, passed down from Peng Daozong, involves dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts. While tempering the body and invigorating Qi and blood, it also condenses Qi and practices Qi to nourish the body.

It's almost a simplified version of the longevity skill.

No wonder the ancient book left by Old Man Shen said that regular practice of this function can cure all kinds of diseases and have the effect of prolonging life.

This journey took nearly two months.

Except for sleeping, Yang Fang almost never rested. Even if it was just a break on the road, he would go to Kunlun for advice.

In addition, he himself is extremely talented and has extraordinary qualifications.

Heng Lian Gong has already reached the second level, which is the level of Hun Tian Yi Qi Yang Shen Gong.

Chen Yulou walked by the lake with his hands behind his back.

Looking up at the starry sky above, the clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle. It seems that you can touch it with your hand. The silvery particles falling on the lake are like walking on the Milky Way.

His eyes swept across several tents not far apart by the lake.

It can be clearly noticed that the several breaths gradually stabilize and rise and fall steadily.

Although they are all cultivation methods.

However, in terms of the way of breathing and moving Qi, there is still a clear difference between practicing Zhen Qigong and Convincing Qi Building Foundation Gong.

The former works from top to bottom, with amazing momentum, drawing Qi into the body and washing the meridians all over the body, while the latter works from the outside in, is orderly and not chaotic, has clear layers, is peaceful and quiet.

So, take a look at it at this moment.

Even if they are separated by tents and have not used their spiritual consciousness, they can clearly identify which tent corresponds to who by just relying on the breath changes of several people practicing?

Kunlun is the most powerful.

The partridge whistle has the deepest breath.

"Wow—"

Sitting on the bluestone by the lake, he was about to meditate.

Suddenly.

A crisp cry resounded.

Looking intently, on the mist-shrouded Pulei Sea, a figure like flowing fire swept towards the water. It was Luofu. It was going wild at this time and spent most of the day wandering outside.

But in the vast and boundless Gobi Desert.

There are almost no natural enemies to be found.

Even the most experienced hunter cannot find its traces.

The raptors on the Tianshan Plateau, such as hawks, vultures, etc., are like lambs in the wolf's den in front of it.

Don't say it's dangerous.

If he senses Luofu's aura from a distance, he will run for his life frantically.

At this moment, the water on the lake was surging.

At first, Chen Yulou only thought it was a joke.

It wasn't until Luofu broke through the mist that he discovered that a pair of sharp claws under Luofu's body was clearly holding a snow-white ibex.

You know, ibex is regarded as the spirit of Tianshan.

It lives near the inaccessible snow peak line all year round.

It has a keen sense of smell and is extremely flexible. It can easily climb over high mountains and dangerous cliffs, and can walk on flat ground between glaciers.

They have been in Kunmo City for so long.

I have seen countless kinds of wild game.

I have tried several.

Now it was the first time I saw an ibex.

It looks like it weighs more than a hundred pounds, with strong limbs and a sturdy body. It is definitely amazing among the thin ibexes. At first glance, it looks like a alpha sheep.

but.

At this moment, compare with Luofu with his wings spread out.

He looks weak and pitiful.

Bang!
Sweeping from the lake to the shore, Luofu loosened his paws and heard a bang. The ibex was dropped directly on the lake beach, with a look of asking for credit in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou looked helpless.

He even doubted whether Luofu would be completely wild after this trip to the Kunlun Mountains.

It's not a falcon, how can a phoenix hunt?

"Okay, I will accept the sheep. You can play with them if you want, but... you are not allowed to hunt the camels, sheep and horses of those herdsmen."

I saw its eyes constantly scanning back and forth between myself and the goat.

Chen Yulou didn't understand what Luofu meant.

He warned with a smile.

When it understood, it immediately raised its head and let out a cheering sound, then jumped towards the lake, almost flying close to the water.

The fish in the lake seemed to be aware of the danger.

They all tried their best to escape to the depths of the lake.

For some reason, seeing this scene, Chen Yulou suddenly thought of the old turtle he met when crossing the Nanpan River that day.

If we meet again today.

There is no need for it to take action.

With Luofu's temperament and strength, how could he have the chance to go crazy?

but……

The Western Region is indeed a strange place.

It is completely different from southern Yunnan.

In southern Yunnan, almost every mountain, river, and river is occupied by mountain monsters and water spirits.

The mountain demon absorbs the spiritual energy of the earth's veins to practice.

Water monsters use lakes and water to transform into monsters.

Puleihai is such an amazing snow-capped mountain lake. Apart from the fish, there is no trace of monsters at all.

Although there have been many rumors about it in Kunmo City since ancient times.

Theories of lake gods and water monsters are even more common.

But as his spiritual consciousness passed by, the lake surface was calm and there was no evil spirit.

Chen Yulou also couldn't figure out why. If it was the influence of the snake god's bones under the ghost cave, how could he explain the rampant demons in Kunlun Shrine?

Think about it for a moment.

I really can’t figure it out.

Chen Yulou simply didn't want to think about it.

Ignoring the cold wind blowing from the lake, I sat cross-legged on the big bluestone and fell into meditation.

Step into Nascent Soul.

Practicing Aoki Kung no longer has to be as difficult as before.

It must be a place with rich aura of vegetation.

Nowadays, all the spiritual energy floating in the world can be refined and used.

After he enters concentration.

The night is like a curtain, and the world has returned to silence. Only at the Tianshan Pass, the cold wind carries snowflakes rustling down into the lake.

Down the mountain.

Kunmo City.

Shaanbei Restaurant, backyard, second floor.

Under the dim light, Hua Ling ended her meditation from trance.

It's just that unlike before, she was demure and gentle. At this moment, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her face looked slightly pale under the light.

Don't know why.

Starting from entering the Western Region, perhaps crossing the Yumen Pass.

She felt an inexplicable feeling enveloped her.

Mild palpitations, invisible anxiety.

It seems that something is gradually awakening in the body.

Originally, I could barely suppress it with the help of practice, but during this period, the feeling has become stronger.

Just busy on the road every day.

She couldn't say much, so she could only bear it silently.

Tonight was particularly intense.

Even entering trance was forcibly interrupted.

He turned sideways and glanced at the bronze mirror on the dressing table. By the dim candlelight, the handsome and heroic face looked a bit haggard, and the lips that were not reddish also looked pale.

She has studied pharmacology since she was a child.

It was clear that there was something wrong with the body.

But she also checked her own pulse, but... couldn't find any problem. Suddenly.

Looking at the pair of amber eyes in the mirror, Hua Ling suddenly thought of something.

Biting her lip.

Go outside the bronze mirror.

She reached out and gently took off her Taoist robe, revealing her shoulders as white as snow, but... when she turned sideways and glanced behind her, her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Only the snow-white and delicate back was visible.

At some point, a faint red mark appeared.

It looks like an eyeball.

It's like drilling out of the blood lines of the meridians.

"curse……"

Hua Ling's face turned pale.

Dust-laden memories surged up from the depths of my mind like a tide.

Since Pingshan, the three brothers and sisters have started practicing Buddhism one after another.

Later, the Muchen Bead was successfully found in the tomb of King Xian in Zhelong Mountain.

The ghost curse that has plagued the tribe for more than a thousand years seems to have come to an end.

Until this moment, looking at the vague mark on her back, Hua Ling's weak body trembled unconsciously. Her parents, clan members, and sisters almost all lost their lives because of it.

Especially mother.

Although she was only a few years old when the curse broke out, her impression was profound.

"Why is this happening?"

"The ancestors of the past generations clearly said that cultivating Taoism can suppress the outbreak of ghost curses."

Hua Ling's eyes widened.

He sat down on the chair in a daze, tears appearing in his clear eyes.

The little face was full of panic and uneasiness.

She didn't know if something went wrong in her practice or because of other reasons.

Subconsciously I wanted to ask the two senior brothers.

But the moment he stood up, he suddenly remembered that they had followed Brother Chen to the mountains in the afternoon.

"No, I'm going to find them."

"What if it's due to unpredictable reasons, then Senior Brother..."

I originally planned to wait until my senior brother and the others came back.

But the mark shaped like an eyeball was like a sharp thorn stuck in the flesh, reminding her all the time.

Thinking of this, Hua Ling gently wiped away the tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

The uneasiness in his eyes was suddenly replaced by determination.

He pulled his dirty clothes to cover the white back of his neck, and then put on a cashmere robe.

How cold it is in the Western Regions after dark.

During this time, she had a deep understanding of it.

Not long after, she picked up a light, put on her mirror umbrella, and walked out the door.

When passing by Miss Hong's door, Hua Ling originally planned to ask her to come with her so that he could have someone to keep him company. However, seeing that she was practicing in seclusion, he hesitated and retracted his finger to knock on the door.

Go downstairs alone.

It was dark now, the city was completely silent, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

Occasionally there are a few lights, and it is also a tavern that is not closed yet.

After passing the city gate, I looked towards the Tianshan Mountains. It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see my fingers.

The light in his hand was weak, swaying and flickering, as if it would be blown out by the howling cold wind at any time, but Hua Ling did not flinch or fear at all.

As a Zagrama tribesman.

She knows the horror of ghost curses better than anyone else.

There must be no delay.

However, the Tianshan Mountains are typical glaciers and Gobi landforms. It is difficult to climb the mountain even during the day, let alone in the middle of the night when the light is so poor.

along the way.

Hua Ling couldn't even remember how many times she fell.

However, this is not the most difficult thing. There are unknown birds chirping and insects chirping, beasts roaring from far away, and the cold wind howling like a female ghost crying.

Over the years, she had walked countless times at night.

But it was the first time to be alone.

In the past, there was an old foreigner who followed the two senior brothers to explore the way, and the senior brother always protected her by his side.

No matter how dangerous it was, she never felt afraid.

It feels completely different tonight.

Hua Ling bit her lip and finally managed to climb up an ice beam. However, she accidentally fell down in the air.

At the bottom is a cliff of more than ten meters.

There are countless piles of rocks.

Once it falls, the consequences can be imagined.

Fortunately, she reacted very quickly. She took out the sky-piercing rope and threw it high. The sharp hook hit the gap in the stone wall under the ice, and she managed to slow down her fall.

At the same time, Hua Ling opened her cotton robe and took out a short knife.

He pierced the stone wall condensed by the ice waterfall outside him.

The short knife drew a long line on the ice, finally stopping the fall.

Hanging in mid-air, Hua Ling looked down at her body, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. If she had been a step slower in reacting just now, she would at least end up injured.

But she was fine.

The lamp was not so lucky.

Because he was eager to get the diamond rope, the lamp slipped from his hand.

At this moment, the glass windshield has been smashed into pieces.

Lamp oil was spilled all over the floor, and the lights were completely extinguished.

Seeing this scene, Hua Ling couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and annoyed. There was no light and it was almost difficult to move in this place. In addition, she was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring a backup fire source with her.

"Wow—"

Just as she was hesitating whether to continue climbing or return to the city to make a fire.

In the night sky overhead, a clear cry suddenly came.

Immediately, a stream of fire broke through the night and swooped down from the clouds and mist.

"Roof?"

"How did you come?"

Look at the shadow that spreads its wings and stops outside.

Hua Ling showed her face, her clear eyes suddenly lit up, and her uneasiness turned into surprise.

"Brother Chen and Senior Brother are here too?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you don't seem to be able to speak."

As he spoke, Hua Ling slapped his forehead and said, "I'll go up first. Can you take me to Brother Chen and the others?"

Grasping the Sky-Diamond Rope, she moved extremely quickly and reached the top of the cliff in a blink of an eye.

Luofu took the lead and waited in front.

He took her all the way to Pulei Beach.

Almost as soon as the flower spirit appeared, Chen Yulou, sitting cross-legged on the bluestone by the lake, woke up from his trance.

Looking at the flower spirit suddenly appearing here, covered in mud and with long hair wet from ice and snow.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but frown.

The first thought that came to my mind was that something happened in the city.

"Brother Chen, where are senior brothers and the others?"

But before he could speak, Hua Ling asked eagerly.

"It's just in the tent, but...can you tell me what happened?"

"This……"

Hear the words.

Hua Ling didn't know what she was thinking of, her cheeks were hot, but the matter was urgent and she didn't dare to hide it.

Immediately, he briefly mentioned the eyeball pattern that appeared behind him.

"The cursed mark?"

Chen Yulou's heart sank.

It was completely unexpected that Hua Ling came all night alone for this matter.

just.

Practice Taoism and suppress ghost curses.

This is a method that Partridge Whistle has proven before.

So after the three brothers and sisters entered the Qi Refining Pass, he never thought about the possibility of the ghost curse breaking out.

"Chen, Brother Chen, do you know?"

Hear the four words coming out of his mouth.

Hua Ling's face was filled with disbelief.

This is the biggest secret of the Zagrama clan.

When the senior brother mentioned it before, he only replaced it with a curse. As for the eyeball totem-like ornaments appearing on the body and the blood turning into gold, he deliberately ignored the past.

"Have heard a little bit."

Chen Yulou shook his head, not caring about these details at the moment.

Just a serious word.

"Both the Taoist brothers and the old foreigner brothers are still practicing. I don't think it will be over in a while."

"If Junior Sister Hua Ling trusts Chen, why don't you let me see if I can find a way to deal with it first?"

Hua Ling's eyes suddenly widened, and there was a hint of trembling in her tone.

"How...what do you think?"
