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

"Yes, Wu Yi...understood."

The old turtle hung his head, as if he had lost his temper.

How could it not understand that the inspiration in its spiritual orifice was like an old tree with roots in the ground.

No matter how hard it tries, it cannot be shaken in the slightest.

Even the slightest movement would alarm Chen Yulou.

It is like planting a cannon on it that can ignite at any time.

With his methods, it only takes a thought to plunge oneself into an irretrievable situation.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

This is a truth it understood many years ago.

The most important thing is that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. In any case, it seems that he has at least escaped a life-and-death catastrophe, otherwise he would not have planted a spiritual contract, but would have been killed by swords and axes.

"correct."

"Didn't you just say you've been to the Dragon Palace under the lake?"

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Standing on the top of the cliff with hands behind his back, he could overlook all the other mountains. At this moment, dusk was gradually rising, and a layer of smoke had covered the lake.

The last piece of cloud was also eaten away bit by bit by the darkness.

It looked like a solar eclipse.

Chen Yulou watched calmly until the last bit of light in the sky dimmed and the night fell. Then he spoke, breaking the silence.

"Dragon Palace?!"

Hear this.

Kunlun and Yang Fang, who were standing on the left and right, formed a siege with Chen Yulou, and trapped the old turtle Wu Yi in the middle invisibly, could not help but look at each other from a distance.

A look of surprise flashed across their faces.

On that day at Fuxian Lake, although Kunlun also went to the lake, he, Partridge Whistle, the old foreigner and Luofu only stayed on Yinghai Mountain to provide support and did not enter the water.

and so.

I only heard about the Huanghuang Jiao Palace under the lake from the shopkeeper.

He is still like this.

What about Yang Fang.

At this moment, he just felt itchy in his heart and wished he could dive into the water and take a look in person.

He felt several eyes falling on him.

Wuyi felt even more bitter.

The old dragon under the lake is not someone else, but its biological father.

Dragons are lustful by nature. The old dragon was used to running rampant in the lake. It not only abducted young girls from the homes of the people living by the lake, but also the fish monsters in the lake and the golden turtles on the island, which turned out to be its harem.

This is why it was born with a trace of dragon blood.

only……

He seems to be born into a wealthy family, with many sons and grandsons of dragons.

In fact, it has almost no sense of existence in front of the old dragon, not even a trace of blood connection. The old dragon may not even know that there is a descendant on Junshan Island.

Before, I was in a panic trying to survive and had no idea what to do.

After all, after being suppressed under the Dragon Locking Well for hundreds of years, it couldn't guarantee whether the Ganoderma lucidum had been recognized and picked, or had simply turned into a spirit and left.

Just in case.

This is how he said two things in one breath.

I thought that since the Huang Jing was still there and my life was saved, Mr. Chen would let me go.

Unexpectedly, I found you waiting here.

However, the old dragon was so terrifying that once it knew that it was me who betrayed the location of the Dragon Palace, one could guess what the result would be without much thought.

"It's getting dark. It's almost time for dinner."

Just as it was thinking wildly.

Chen Yulou's voice came again.

This simple sentence made Wu Yi feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The hidden meaning in this sentence was obvious.

Should I have fish or this for dinner?

It all depends on your own thoughts.

Thinking of this, it dared not hesitate any longer. It took a deep breath and immediately suppressed the distracting thoughts in its mind. It pulled its thoughts back to the past, and scenes from the past flashed through its mind like smoke.

Life and death at stake.

How can I care about so many things?
The old dragon had never done it any good anyway, so it had nothing to do with whether it was dead or alive.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Say.

Given Mr. Chen’s strength, if they really meet, it is still unknown who is stronger and who is weaker.

Maybe the old dragon is the dish.

If he could rely on Mr. Chen as a strong backer, and let him slip a little bit of dragon blood through his fingers, even if it was just a little bit of dragon's essence and blood, he might be able to touch the threshold of transforming into a dragon in this life.

Think about this.

The determination in Wu Yi's eyes became even stronger.

The old dragon has occupied Dongting Lake for long enough.

It is not dead.

How can I get to the top?

If it can live in the Dragon Palace, then I may be able to live there too.

"In reply to Mr. Chen... Wu Yi's trip to the Dragon Palace under the lake was three hundred and sixty years ago."

"That year, the old dragon celebrated his 600th birthday, and invited numerous great water monsters from the rivers, lakes, and seas. Although I was weak at the time, I was also invited because I had a trace of dragon blood."

"I still remember that day when it was raining heavily. The lake was full of water veterans who came from all over. I mixed in with them and sneaked along like water."

"There is a crack about 300 meters deep in the water. The yin energy in it is very strong and the wind and water are as sharp as knives. Ordinary fish and shrimp cannot enter it at all."

"I remember that it was an old turtle elder from Lijiangli who protected me so that I could get in."

"There lies an ancient city in the cracks."

"I heard from that senior that it was originally the Baling City, which sank underwater for many years. Finally, the old dragon used his great magical power to move it into the crack and use it as the Dragon Palace."

Wu Yi spoke word by word.

Although more than three hundred years have passed, what I saw that day seems to be engraved in my mind, so clear that it cannot be erased.

"The Dragon Palace is extremely large."

"It uses pearls as lamps, illuminating all directions. It has all kinds of antiques and rare items, and it is extremely luxurious."

"All the great demons who were invited to the birthday banquet, without exception, brought gifts with them. They were all rare treasures."

"I still remember that old dragon was occupying a high position, calling himself the Dragon King of Dongting Lake. Only those with high status could sit down, while the rest could only stand."

"It's only because of my identity as the descendant of the old dragon that I can sit in the last seat."

"It's a pity that the old dragon never even looked at me once from beginning to end. The birthday banquet lasted for three days. All the guests were given gifts, and I also got a dragon armor."

"When I returned to Junshan Island, all the water monsters knew my identity. The monsters on the island were afraid of me like a tiger, so I took advantage of the power of the tiger and became the island master."

"I've been free for decades."

I remember the time when I was domineering on the island.

Wu Yi couldn't hide the longing deep in her eyes.

Although the old dragon did not let it stay in the Dragon Palace to live and practice, it has to be said that the identity of a dragon son is really useful. For decades, he can do whatever he wants.

No one dared to disobey him.

Unfortunately.

After all, the good days are too short.

Sighed.

Wuyi looked up at Chen Yulou and smiled awkwardly.

"As for what happened next, you also know it, Mr. Chen. My actions attracted the Taoist Li Cunming, who imprisoned me in the Dragon Locking Well for hundreds of years."

Hear the words.

Chen Yulou nodded.

What Wu Yi said was almost exactly what he had guessed.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the dragon in Dongting Lake seemed to be more powerful than Zhou Jiao.

The most Zhou Jiao could do was to swallow some incense.

This guy is good.

Not to mention that he regards himself as the Dragon King of Dongting Lake.

It even invites mountain spirits and water monsters from all directions to come, which has a bit of the flavor of the Changsheng Mountain in the green forest and martial arts world.

"Can you sense where the old dragon is?"

His eyes flashed.

Chen Yulou suddenly asked meaningfully.

They are blood descendants.

There should be a blood connection between them.

"This……"

Hear this.

Wu Yi's heart suddenly began to beat wildly.

She subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

"to be honest."

See this.

How could Chen Yulou not understand? This guy was definitely capable of it, but he was a very thoughtful person. If Chen Yulou didn't point it out, he would never speak on his own initiative.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Feeling the coldness in his words.

Wuyi no longer dared to harbor any hope and nodded repeatedly.

"I can indeed feel it a little bit... But, I dare not hide it from Mr. Chen, the feeling is very vague. I can only roughly perceive the direction, but I cannot tell where it is exactly."

Listen to what he says.

Chen Yulou was not surprised.

According to the almost strict bloodline levels among monsters.

It is almost impossible for the inferior to rebel against the superior.

It was already amazing enough that Wu Yi could have a vague sense, but wanting to lock onto the old dragon's position was nothing but a pipe dream.

But, that's enough.

The Dongting Lake is 800 miles wide. Once a dragon dives into it, it is extremely difficult to catch up with it.

If there is an old turtle nearby.

This is equivalent to locking its position at all times.

By then, the dragon hunting trip will undoubtedly be much easier.

"Okay, it's already night, you should find a place on the island to recuperate first, I'll call you when there's something else."

A wave of his hand.

Signaled the old turtle to leave on his own.

There are many caves on this island, and Wuyi has lived here for hundreds of years, so he is more familiar with it than Uncle Jiu.

Find an uninhabited cave to practice in seclusion.

It's not difficult for it.

"This... Shopkeeper Chen!"

Yang Fang, who was originally immersed in the rumors about the Dongting Dragon Palace and the Dragon Banquet, was unable to extricate himself from the past. When he suddenly heard these words, his eyebrows jumped sharply.

This old turtle is not an honest person.

Just let it go.

If no one is looking after you.

What if he runs away at night?

It will be too late to regret by then.

Not only him, but Bai Ze, who had been silent the whole time, was the same. He could hardly suppress the impatience in his eyes.

"rest assured."

"They are all smart people. They won't joke about their own lives."

This is what Yang Fang is worried about.

How could Chen Yulou not understand?

However, he just waved his hand, looking confident, calm and unhurried.

As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at the old turtle who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up.

"Right, Wuyi?"

dong dong——

Hear the words.

The old turtle froze.

I just felt a chill rushing to my head.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, the old turtle will never dare to escape again."

This statement is clearly a reminder of it.

Wu Yi is as shrewd as an old ghost, so how could he not understand the hidden meaning behind the words?

This is true for all living things in the world, whether they are humans, monsters, birds or beasts. The longer they live, the more they fear death.

Chen Yulou grasped this point.

It's really not difficult to trap it.

It’s not impossible to find someone to look after it.

But he just let it move freely on the island.

but……

If it wants to live, it will definitely stay there obediently. Even if he asks to set it free, the old turtle will probably suspect that he is looking for an excuse to kill him.

What's more.

The spiritual seed that was planted earlier.

It's a foreshadowing.

Even though it is thousands of miles away, Chen Yulou can grasp its every move. Let alone escaping from the island and sneaking into Dongting Lake, it would be difficult for it to even take a step forward.

"Go."

"I will still have someone to rely on later. Senior Wuyi better recover from your injury."

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

Chen Yulou immediately ordered the guests to leave.

Although Wuyi was puzzled, he did not dare to delay. As if relieved of a heavy burden, he strode towards the direction he came from without looking back.

Not long after.

Then they found a secluded spring.

Surrounded by ancient trees, dense forests, rocks and vines, it is quiet and peaceful.

Nodding with satisfaction, Wuyi dragged his body and dived into the spring. It didn't feel relieved until his body was completely submerged in the water and sank to the bottom.

His mind moved.

In an instant.

A piece of the mirror-like tortoise shell on its back suddenly broke open and flew out, hanging above its head, emitting a powerful demonic aura.

The light flickered.

The brightness and destruction are uncertain.

Soon it covered its entire body.

Wu Yi did not waste any time, closed his eyes, and his breath gradually faded away.

Looking down from above the spring, one can hardly notice its existence.

You would just think it was a huge blue-black rock.

but.

The light flickered.

The wounds on its back... were healed bit by bit.

"It really is a dragon armor!"

The top of the cliff.

Chen Yulou put his hands behind his back and looked away.

Although the old turtle ran several hundred meters away in one breath, he could not escape the coverage of his spiritual sense.

Every move is within sight.

The healing process of the wound could naturally be seen clearly through the scales.

Kunlun's dragon scale heavy armor is made of Jiaolong armor plates mixed with secret gold. It has been forged after thousands of trials and tribulations.

and so.

He was very familiar with the Jiaolong Armor.

It’s instantly recognisable and unmistakable.

"Manager Chen, then...are we still going to Shejiaotai?"

Seeing his expression change, as if he finally came out of his trance, Yang Fang asked in a low voice.

"Is it far?"

"It's OK, only about a hundred steps."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Chen Yulou shrugged. "I came here with great enthusiasm, so I can't leave disappointed."

"go!"

"okay."

Hear this.

Yang Fang and the other person couldn't help but smile at each other.

They each put away their halberds and vajra umbrellas and led the way ahead.

Although night had fallen, it was not completely dark yet. In the dim light, three people and one deer walked through the dense forest, heading towards the top of the mountain.

Less than half a quarter of an hour.

The moment when night completely enveloped the world.

Several people finally stepped onto the stone platform.

According to folk legend, this platform was built by Emperor Wu of Han during his eastern tour to suppress a dragon in the lake.

However, according to the judgment of several people, it should not have been built in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was most likely built during the Song Dynasty. As for the three words "Shejiaotai", they were probably added later.

It is most likely far-fetched.

But there is one thing.

There are several arrow marks on the stone platform. Although they have been almost petrified by wind and rain for thousands of years, it is still difficult to conceal the sharp arrow energy.

Think about it.

It was most likely left by a Taoist senior who was good at using bows and arrows.

It's just that later generations did not know his name, so they attributed it to the Flying General Li Guang. After all, from ancient times to the present, the number of people who can be called the divine archer can be counted on one hand.

Among them, the most famous ones are Hou Yi and Li Guang.

Judging from historical records.

When Qin Shihuang was on a southern tour to Hengyue, he was blocked by Fengjun Mountain, so he took his anger out on the two concubines of Xiangshan Goddess, and burned the mountain with ochre trees. Even in the Song Dynasty, there were still several ancient camphor trees left on the ochre slope that had been burned by the fire.

Emperor Wu of Han was only a hundred years away from Emperor Qin.

It is highly likely that Junshan Island has not yet fully recovered to its original state.

On the Eastern Tour.

Nor did they cross Dongting Lake to reach the island.

History and rumors are intertwined, and although a little vague, if nothing else, Shejiaotai is located at the highest point of Junshan Island. Climbing up and looking far into the distance, you can see the scenery of lakes and mountains. It is a good place for practice and meditation.

"Go back and call the old foreigner."

"Those arrow marks contain ancient arrow meanings, which may be helpful to his archery skills."

Chen Yulou stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, gazing at the lake shrouded in the night. A crescent moon had slowly risen into the sky, and a pool of silver and gold sand seemed to be scattered among the rugged waves.

Indescribably quiet and beautiful.

The three of them were even reluctant to go down the mountain.

As the night deepened, they returned to the foot of the mountain in a leisurely manner, fearing that Uncle Jiu would send people to search all over the mountain. (End of this chapter)
