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

thump—

Luo Laowai was prepared to lose all his money.

Hearing these words suddenly, he was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his scarred face that he couldn't suppress.

Ten thousand silver dollars.

Damn, it’s not a loss.

The price of rifles on the black market is clearly marked, one hundred dollars each.

Taking a broken bamboo and exchanging it for a hundred guns, this business is not a big loss no matter how you look at it.

After all, with Chen Yulou's strength, he would have no way to counter the robbery even if it was done openly, and could only accept the defeat.

Although it is a lot less than the expected 70,000 or 80,000, but at least you get a piece of cake after a slap in the face. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. It is better than having nothing.

"This……"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I, Lao Luo, would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers."

The corners of Mr. Luo's mouth were almost stretched to the back of his ears.

This trip was not in vain.

"Okay, stop it."

Chen Yulou waved his hand. This guy really didn't hide anything at all. Looking at his fawning look, if he was given two hundred guns today, he would probably kneel down and kowtow and call him daddy.

Luo Laowai chuckled, "Then Shopkeeper Chen, I, Old Luo, will leave first and won't disturb your rest."

He hugged his fists.

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave.

I was afraid that if I was a step too slow, and Manager Chen changed his mind, I wouldn't be able to get the 10,000 silver dollars. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"and many more."

I saw him turning around and about to go downstairs.

Chen Yulou tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table, then suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and glanced at Luo Laowai.

The smile on the latter's face froze.

My mind is in turmoil, a mess.

"One more thing."

Chen Yulou acted as if he didn't hear anything and just gave the order in a deep voice.

"Shopkeeper Chen, just tell me what you want, and I, Lao Luo, will do it."

"When you get to Chishan Island, remember this: you are a bandit who has been exploiting fishermen and robbing passing fishing boats for years. You can do whatever you want, but..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yulou's tone turned slightly cold.

"If you let me know that you have been doing evil on the lake and oppressing the people, don't blame me for settling the score later."

He knew exactly what kind of person Luo Laowai was.

This guy has always acted without restraint under his nose, killing innocent people to claim credit and robbing women. There is nothing he dares not do, except what he cannot imagine.

This is the case even in Xiangyin.

Then we went to Dongting Lake.

Doing evil under the guise of his Chen family will only damage Chen Yulou's reputation.

"sure."

Upon hearing that he was not going back on his word and wanted to return the money, Luo Laowai heaved a sigh of relief.

How dare I disobey? I agreed immediately.

"I, Luo, have already turned over a new leaf. Shopkeeper Chen, you can be at ease. I wouldn't dare to do anything wrong even if I had a hundred guts."

See him patting his chest and making a promise.

Only then did Chen Yulou wave his hand.

Luo Laowai felt relieved instantly, and walked downstairs with an ingratiating smile, his steps getting faster and faster. When he reached the first floor, his heart finally settled down in his stomach.

He took several deep breaths in succession.

The bent body slowly straightened up.

A pair of eyes were secretly looking around. As the most representative building in Chenjiazhuang, Guanyun Tower was built by the old shopkeeper when Chen Yulou was born.

Amazing luxury.

It is said that there are hundreds of precious treasures in it.

The screen he was looking at at this moment.

It is also from the hands of a famous artist.

There are landscape paintings by Tang Yin and calligraphy by Wen Zhengming on the fan. Just these two names are priceless.

But...it is such a precious thing.

In Guanyun Tower, it is only placed on the first floor and used as a screen mountain.

Luo Laowai's face was full of amazement.

The heat in his eyes could not be concealed.

If I take this thing out, I don't know how many guns I can exchange it for.

Isn't this a waste?
"Cough cough..."

Just as he was daydreaming.

A light cough suddenly sounded behind me.

Luo Laowai was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He swallowed hard and his expression changed. After a long while, he dared to turn around slowly.

Take a closer look.

Only then did he realize that a figure had appeared in the shadow on one side of the gate.

His hands were folded in his sleeves, his hair was gray, and his face showed no emotion.

But those cloudy eyes buried in the darkness were like a knife stabbing Luo Laowai at this moment, making him feel uneasy. He wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know how to start.

"Yu...Uncle Yu."

He trembled and groaned, and finally cried out.

"Now that we're downstairs."

"Just do whatever the master tells you to do."

Uncle Yu seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep. He glanced at him and said something in a lukewarm tone.

"Yes, yes, Lao Luo just wanted to take a break. He was a little anxious when he came down."

"I'm leaving now."

Luo Laowai swallowed his saliva, put on a smile, carefully followed Uncle Yu's figure, pushed open the door, and moved out with great difficulty.

Until you walk out of Guanyun Tower.

Into the sunshine.

Only then did he feel relieved.

After just a few steps, my legs felt like they were filled with lead and were extremely weak.

But he didn't dare to stay, so he could only grit his teeth and rush towards the accounting office step by step.

No matter what, the 10,000 silver dollars that Manager Chen promised must be obtained.

just.

The feeling of fear in my heart could not be shaken off.

It felt like there was a knife behind me, always staring at me.

He knew that it was Uncle Yu who was watching him.

If he dares to stay, nothing good will happen.

No wonder people say that Uncle Yu is the most ruthless among the older generation of the Chen family.

Just recalling the look in his eyes just now made him want to shiver.

It was three or four minutes later that he finally arrived outside the accounting office.

He then told Shopkeeper Chen what he had ordered.

The accountant was quite straightforward. He just asked him to put his fingerprint and sign his name, then handed him a bag of silver dollars.

Feeling the heavy weight, Luo Laowai finally felt at ease.

Damn, it’s really not easy to make some money.

He first suffered a lot upstairs. It must be said that Manager Chen's aura and pressure were becoming more and more terrifying. Just an inadvertent look or a word could make him feel very uncomfortable.

Then I was frightened by that old immortal Uncle Yu.

If he hadn't walked out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses over the years.

I was afraid that I would be exposed just now.

Taking a deep breath and looking back in the direction of Guanyun Tower, Luo Laowai no longer dared to hesitate. If this place was possible, he would never want to come here again.

Damn it, asking for money is like asking for life.

It's harder than walking on the edge of a knife.

The slightest carelessness will lead to eternal damnation.

He hurriedly walked out of the inner city and passed the city gate. His adjutant was waiting under the shade of a tree with his horse. When he saw him coming out from afar, he quickly spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and went to meet him.

"How is Luo Shuai?"

"Stop talking nonsense and talk when you get back."

Luo Laowai was very angry in the village and had no place to vent.

Who would care about him?

He glared at her and cursed under his breath.

"Oh yes."

The adjutant was confused by the scolding, but seeing Commander Luo's expression, he dared not say anything more.

Hurry and fetch the horse.

Help him onto the horse.

I followed closely behind.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, along the official road, straight into the distant mountains.

……

Inside the Guanyun Tower.

window.

After watching the two figures disappear among the green hills, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the green thunder bamboo on the table behind him.

Luo Laowai thought he was not at a disadvantage.

I don't know.

Chen Yulou is the one who really made a lot of money.

Not only did he buy a unique species for ten thousand silver dollars, but he also sent the plague god Luo Laowai out of Xiangyin.

Over at Dongting Lake, it's impossible for Uncle Jiu to stay in charge all the time. He is old and has many health problems. Being on the water all year round will only make his old illnesses worse.

As for Kunlun, Guaizi and others.

Since you have embarked on the path to immortality, you naturally cannot be distracted too much by worldly matters.

The guys in the mountains are also busy with the tomb-robbing and antique business.

How could I have so much free time to play hide-and-seek with those pirates in Dongting Lake?

It would be most appropriate to send Luo Laowai to do this.

Landed on Chishan Island.

The pirates making a living on the water are enough to give him a headache. How could he have the energy to think about what ambitions he might have?
In Xiangyin, he no longer needs someone to keep an eye on him all the time.

Counting it this way, it is definitely a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

call--

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Chen Yulou stopped thinking and focused on the bamboo.

There are tens of thousands of bamboos in the world, and there are nearly five thousand named species alone. Xiangyin is especially famous for its bamboo, but he has never seen such an amazing species.

About as tall as a person.

The leaves are emerald green and shaped like jadeite. The bamboo poles are straight and smooth like a mirror, just like jade carvings.

If it weren't for the vibrant vitality that emanates from it all the time.

Chen Yulou might really have mistaken it for a jade-carved bamboo ornament.

The most incredible thing.

Or under the green bamboo, there were the constantly flowing streaks of lightning and fire.

After refining the ancient thunder talisman and fusing it into a thunder bead, his sensitivity to thunder and fire has far exceeded that of ordinary people. At this moment, he can even more clearly perceive the amazing power of thunder and fire.

Bamboo is a yin element.

Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with thunder and fire.

But... at this moment, these two incompatible attributes exist at the same time.

As you can imagine, it is extremely precious.

After watching for a while, an idea suddenly popped up in Chen Yulou's mind.

Subconsciously reached out.

A wisp of pure green wood spiritual energy wrapped around the fingertips.

Driven by his spiritual consciousness, it moved little by little towards the green leaves on the Qinglei Bamboo.

boom--

Unexpectedly.

The moment that ray of spiritual energy appeared almost half a foot outside the bamboo leaves, the emerald green bamboo leaves seemed to come alive, rustling and devouring the spiritual energy.

"really!"

See this scene.

Chen Yulou's mind suddenly emerged the scene when he was first brought back to Luofu.

The period of time after the contract is signed.

As long as he was meditating and practicing, Luofu would follow him and consume the dissipated spiritual energy.

This scene is so similar!
However, he never thought that one day he would see the same situation on a bamboo.

No wonder this Green Thunder Bamboo was buried with the Bamboo King in the mausoleum.

It hasn't even fully grown yet, but it already possesses such amazing abilities.

He even wondered, if it was planted in a blessed place like Mount Zhongnan or Mount Qingcheng, and immersed in the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, would it transform into a demon?
Or……

Become a mountain-guarding species!

The sky curtain is drawn in, covering the surrounding heaven and earth.

What Junshan Island lacks most is a mountain protection formation.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.

Chen Yulou's heart couldn't help but pound.

You should know that Junshan is not just a small island in Dongting Lake. To be precise, it is the eleventh paradise in the world as determined by Taoists.

It consists of 72 peaks of varying sizes.

There are countless historical sites on the island.

According to legend, Emperor Yu died in the wilderness of Cangwu while on a tour of inspection in the south, and was buried in Mount Jiuyi. The two concubines were heartbroken and became ill due to grief, and died. They were finally buried in Junshan.

In addition to the tombs of the two concubines, there is also the Xiangfei Temple.

Therefore, Junshan Island is also known as Xiangshan Island.

In addition, Qu Yuan once composed a sacrificial song for the water god of Xiangshan Mountain. In the pre-Qin period, Hou Sheng practiced in Junshan Mountain. In the 28th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor crossed the Huai River and the Fujiang River in Nanjun, and came to the Xiangshan Temple to ask the gods for advice.

The most important thing is.

According to folk legend, Lü Dongbin attained enlightenment and became an immortal on Junshan Island.

Since Chen Yulou started practicing cultivation, he has had a close connection with Lu Zu, including Mount Lu, Mount Zhongnan, Mount Qingcheng, and now Junshan Island.

Somehow, it seemed as if he was retracing the path he had once walked before.

This was also one of the reasons why he finally decided on Junshan Island as his cave for cultivation among many options.

The eleventh cave in the world, the most blessed place.

If we go to the island, at least we won't have to worry about the scarce spiritual energy. As for this precious land of dragon veins, there's no need to worry about the Green Thunder Bamboo being difficult to survive.

Chen Yulou was even confident that with the nourishment of his green wood spiritual energy, the green thunder bamboo would be able to grow into a towering ancient tree in perhaps just a few years.

Completely transformed into spirit.

In a moment of thought, thunder and lightning appeared in the sky, fire on the earth, and wind and clouds moved.

Just thinking about it is heart-wrenching.

"When it rains, give me an umbrella; when it gets cold, give me more clothes. Luo Laowai... he really understands people's needs."

Chen Yulou curled the corners of his mouth.

This Green Thunder Bamboo is definitely more amazing than he had imagined. It might become famous all over the world one day and grow to the height of the Kunlun sacred tree.

Shake his head.

Stop thinking.

Chen Yulou's mind moved, and a ray of powerful inspiration flowed out from his sea of ​​​​qi and began to be nurtured bit by bit.

Now that it has been confirmed that it is undoubtedly a spiritual species, we naturally cannot waste any more time.

With the inspiration.

It's almost visible to the naked eye.

The leaves of Qinglei Bamboo gradually deepen in color from emerald green, becoming lush and verdant, and swaying without wind.

A full two hours later.

Chen Yulou then stopped what he was doing. The Green Thunder Bamboo in front of him was completely different from when he took it out before. Not only had its color changed, but the aura it exuded was even deeper, and even its size seemed to have grown a lot.

As for the thunder and fire contained therein.

At this time, it fell silent.

Just like after a high tide.

Feeling the changes in it, Chen Yulou nodded with satisfaction.

The only pity is that the Green Thunder Bamboo is a plant, not a creature like the White Ape or the Angry Chicken. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as planting more than three spirit seeds in his Niwan Palace.

This thought floats.

He seemed to have thought of something, and his mind subconsciously sank into the Niwan Palace.

I saw a flash of scene before my eyes.

In an instant.

A world that looked like the starry night sky appeared.

Three stars floated in the endless darkness, some bright and some dim, and the most dazzling one was the first one on the left. It was shining with divine light, and a faint shadow of a dragon could be seen through it.

It was actually the spiritual seed of Zhou Jiao from Fuxian Lake.

One year has passed in the blink of an eye.

It should have refined that piece of real dragon bone a lot.

His strength is obviously much stronger than before he left.

But think about it, it's also expected.

After all, it is a dragon, just like the white ape and the mandrill, they have blood connections with each other. If it were a white ape to refine real dragon bones, it would be no exaggeration to say that it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Follow this progression.

They had made a ten-year agreement at the beginning, and perhaps it wouldn't take that long. After Zhou Jiao had completely refined the dragon bones and pushed his energy and blood to the peak, he would be able to transform into a dragon by walking on water.

This is also what Chen Yulou has been looking forward to.

The world is so big, and there are countless rumors about dragons, but apart from that piece of real dragon bones, he has never seen one, and has never even felt its breath.

If Zhou Jiao succeeds, he will most likely become the first real dragon in this world.

And he.

One is a real dragon and the other is a real phoenix.

Not to mention the evil demons, even the ancient gods would dare to fight head-on.

After seeing the changes in Zhou Jiao's spirit seed, his gaze turned to the one in the middle. The Luofu spirit seed was equally dazzling. Although it was not as good as the old Jiao, it was not much different.

To know.

Among the three monsters, Zhou Jiao has been practicing for thousands of years and has a profound foundation, while Yuan Hong is even more of a practice maniac who spends most of the day in meditation.

Only Luofu is either sleeping or sleeping.

But it has talent, and it can easily pass the level by sleeping.

I can only say that comparing yourself with others makes you feel thwarted.

As for Yuan Hong's spirit seed, it was also glowing with spiritual light, and there was a faint shadow in it, which imitated the laws of nature, like a golden-armored god, with a majestic aura.

Mandrill!

Chen Yulou saw it at a glance.

You have to know that the mandrills, or even the ancient gods, are far from the clay statues they saw in the ancient temple on Zhalong Mountain that day, which were completely black and looked like wild monkeys.

A real mandrill can fly into the sky and into the ground, fighting dragons.

It’s a pity that, just like real dragons, they also disappeared from this world over countless years.

If the white ape could completely refine and fuse the three sets of mandrill bones.

Return to one’s roots.

It's not impossible to do that, just like the angry sky turning into a phoenix.

You can tell by looking at the aura of the spirit seed right now.

This guy is like a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. He practices all day long. Now his strength is almost one of the best among everyone.

“What rapid progress.”

Seeing this scene, even Chen Yulou couldn't help but flash a hint of amazement in his eyes.

You know, although the white ape was the first to become a demon, it did not practice for a long time. It was able to achieve what it is today because hard work pays off.

When they met yesterday, Hua Ling made Partridge Whistle feel a sense of crisis.

He still hadn't seen the white ape, otherwise he would have had no intention of attending the welcoming banquet last night.

Think of this scene.

A smile flashed across Chen Yulou's eyes.

but……

The mind withdraws from the Niwan Palace.

Chen Yulou put the green thunder bamboo into the Qihai Cave Heaven.

Put it together with those tea seeds.

Turn around and open the window.

Before he knew it, it was almost afternoon. His eyes passed over the lake below and headed north. Among the green mountains, he seemed to be able to see Junshan Island in the Dongting Lake.

"Time is running out. It will be Qingming and Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye. We have to hurry up."

He murmured softly.

Junshan Island has 72 peaks, and the mountains are continuous. After landing on the island, you have to first find the location of the blessed place and then build a cave, which requires a lot of thought.

The key is.

Green Thunder Bamboo must be planted as early as possible.

When it takes root on the island, connects with the blessed land, and becomes a mountain protection formation, guarding the four directions, Junshan Cave Mansion can be said to have truly taken its first step. (End of this chapter)
