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

Chapter 71 Niwan Secret Realm Refining Henggu

Two masters and servants.

One after another, they strolled toward the backyard.

In the inner city of Chenjiazhuang, with Guanyun Tower as the center, there are three mansions and two courtyards at the front and back.

In front of the building is a small lake.

This also coincides with the Feng Shui aspect of being surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The old white ape was placed in the backyard.

Same as Angry Chicken.

It's just that it is as afraid of phoenix species as a tiger, and would not want to live with it to death.

In desperation, the servants of the Chen family could only free up an unoccupied room and let it live in it.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

After going downstairs, Chen Yulou walked by the lake with his hands behind his hands.

There are patches of jade lotus planted in the lake, and countless silver crucian carp and golden carp are raised, which contrast with the Jinyu Hall.

At this time, there were rugged waves on the lake, blowing up a pool of silver sand.

Looking at the vast mist, it feels a bit like a small Dongting.

Not long after, an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, wearing a gray gown and reading glasses, came quickly and stood behind with his hands lowered, saying respectfully.

"Uncle Fish is here."

He looked away from the lake.

Chen Yulou smiled.

This is the old housekeeper of the Chen family.

He has been working in the Chen family since he was a few years old and is very loyal.

"Go find a teacher for me in the next two days."

"Forget about the old scholar who is pedantic and inconsiderate. You need to be patient and competent."

He gave a simple instruction.

"Master, who are you inviting?"

Uncle Yu hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

He grew up watching Chen Yulou and knew his abilities better than anyone else. He dared not say that he was rich in knowledge, but he knew a lot about astronomy and geography. There were not many people in Xiangyin who were qualified to be his teacher.

"Kunlun."

Chen Yulou didn't hide it either.

He pursed his lips towards Kunlun who was standing aside.

Uncle Yu was stunned, but he was an experienced man and did not show any surprise or astonishment.

He just thought for a moment and said.

"Master, I have a few candidates, please listen and see if they are suitable."

"Tell me."

Chen Yulou thought it would take at least a day or two.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Yu had an idea so quickly, and he was not in a hurry to rush to the backyard.

"The first one is Chen Shufan from Yanggao Academy, a native of Jietoupu. This man is highly knowledgeable and proficient in ancient Chinese and new culture. He now runs a school in the north of the city."

"The second person is Mr. Zhang Bingqian. He is a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Needless to say, he is knowledgeable. Now he teaches elementary school in the countryside."

"As for the last one, he is Uncle Ming. Master, you should know."

Uncle Yu said calmly.

Chen Yulou nodded secretly.

The two people he mentioned above were indeed very impressive and had quite a reputation in the Xiangyin world.

The former traveled around in the early years and was one of the first people in Xiangyin to enter the new school.

After returning, he founded Yanggao Academy with his own hands.

As for the man at the back, he is an old scholar, but he is not a rotten scholar. On the contrary, he is not disgusted with the new culture.

But I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite these two people.

Unless someone is sent to kidnap them to Chenjiazhuang.

But this deviated from his original intention.

"Then Uncle Ming, tell the cashier that if you withdraw a sum of money, you will treat it as Shu Xiu of Kunlun Meng School."

Chen Yulou ordered calmly.

This matter is considered settled.

"Yes, young master, I'll go tell Uncle Ming right now."

Uncle Yu nodded.

There are no surprises.

Uncle Ming has been in the Chen family for some years. He left behind when he fled the famine.

Very knowledgeable.

Although he did not want to mention his origins.

But it can be seen from the daily speech and behavior that there is a high probability that the poems and books are passed down to the family. Unfortunately, in this world, there is chaos and chaos, and there are countless people who have fallen into disgrace and are homeless.

Chen Yulou was somewhat impressed by him.

Because of the original body, I discussed Feng Shui with him more than once.

Rather than find two outsiders to teach Kunlun, it would be better to hire someone who knows the basics.

Don't worry, you won't let him go just because he has an innocent temperament.

On the other hand, he originally wanted Uncle Ming to work in the Chen family's accounting office, but unfortunately he didn't want to. He would rather rent a few acres of paddy fields and live a life of sunrise and sunset.

However, farming is not that easy.

He is just a scholar, he has no ability to restrain a chicken, and he just ruins people.

This is also the reason why he specially mentioned Shuxiu.

Watch Uncle Yu leave.

Kunlun's face was already full of anticipation.

Being able to read and write was something he had never dared to think about before.

Now the shopkeeper not only found himself a spurge for self-defense, but also asked his husband to teach him how to read.

His eyes were red for a moment, and he didn't know how to thank the shopkeeper.

"Okay, if you really want to thank me, just study hard."

It seemed that he could read his thoughts.

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

Then the two of them went straight to the backyard without further delay.

Within a moment, he appeared outside a wing.

only……

Wait for him to open the door and go in.

What he saw made him dumbfounded.

The old ape was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, and there were fresh peaches on the plate next to him.

"My life is quite leisurely."

He himself stayed in seclusion for five or six days without sleeping, but the old ape felt very comfortable and was already lying down.

Hear movement.

The old ape turned around subconsciously.

Then, as if struck by lightning, he jumped up and stood aside with his head hanging, his face full of anxiety.

It's been really easy these days.

Compared with the precarious days in Baiyuan Cave, where one meal was too late and one meal was too hard, I don't know how many times better it was.

Moreover, as long as it doesn't run around, no one will care about it.

It's old and mature, how can it run away?

This is simply a life that has never been dreamed of.

At first, he occasionally worried whether Chen Yulou would come, but it has been almost ten days and he has not seen anyone else at all, as if this small house has been forgotten.

The white apes have already put down their guard.

Unexpectedly, he came again.

Chen Yulou stood in the house with his hands behind his hands and looked around. Except that there was no pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or scrolls, it was no different from where the servants of the Chen family lived.

"Okay, don't look depressed."

"I won't kill you."

Seeing it trembling and frightened, it didn't dare to raise its head.

Chen Yulou sneered.

If he hadn't seen the scene in the Underworld where it and the mountain scorpion worked together to steal the corpse's energy from the coffin, he might have really believed it.

This old ape is shrewder and more tactful than humans.

Plus a natural sense of danger.

How could he not know his situation and make it clear that he was just pretending to be pitiful?

Hearing this, the old ape raised his head sarcastically.

However, it really didn't dare to be careful in front of Chen Yulou.

Half an hour ago, the momentum soaring into the sky was still vivid in my mind.

correct……

That scene just came to mind.

The old ape seemed to have thought of something, and secretly took a look at the figure not far away.

Although at this moment Chen Yulou's aura was restrained and his whole body was as still as still water, there were some things that could not be concealed, such as the temperament in every move.

There is also a sense of oppression coming from deep within the soul.

When it was at Pingshan, it only felt like a hill.

But now, that invisible momentum is like a huge mountain falling from the sky.

It was so heavy that it was almost breathless.

So...that movement before came from him?

The old ape's eyes widened, his expression full of fear and horror.

Yes, you can’t go wrong.

There were only two people who could give it such a sense of oppression from the beginning to the end.

One is the man named Chen in front of me, and the other is the Taoist.

However, when they returned from Pingshan, the Taoist had already separated from them and left with his junior brothers and sisters.

As for the Angry Chicken, it is no longer oppression, but pure restraint.

It has been in Chenjiazhuang for so long.

It's not really about lying down and dying.

I observed many people along the way, but no one stepped into the path of spiritual practice like Chen Yulou.

Therefore, apart from him, Bai Yuan could not think of anyone else who could cause such a movement as if the earth was shattering.

"Still smart."

Just when it was thinking secretly.

A faint laughter suddenly sounded in his ears.

Subconsciously looking up, it saw a man named Chen staring at him with a smile.

The depths of his deep eyes seemed to reflect a patch of stars in the void.

Just take a look.

Just make it feel like you're stuck in it.

dong dong dong-

The old ape suddenly averted his eyes and felt a violent thump under his chest.

There was a voice in my head that kept ringing.

"It's him."

"It's really him!"

The old ape's mouth was dry and his complexion was even bitter.

Counting from the day it awakened, it lived for nearly sixty years.

In the genus of apes, it is already an unprecedented existence.

Among human beings, he is not much different from Peng Zu who attained the Tao of 800 years ago.

In order to live forever, it steals the energy of corpses, swallows the essence of the sun and the moon, and asks the monkeys to find a century-old elixir for it.

But even so, as of today, its achievements are limited to this.

If you want to make an inch of progress, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

After all, not everyone can be like that old centipede, who can cultivate the inner elixir and soar into the clouds and mist, like a fairy.

As for the old centipede, he practiced a magic method that was rare in the world and swallowed the golden elixir in the elixir well.

It took six to seven hundred years to reach that point.

But why can this person named Chen make such rapid progress?

How long has it been.

Ten days?

Damn it, the sky is already the same as the earth. White Ape felt unprecedentedly sad.

The gap between people.

No, it should be the gap between him and it, which is so big that it makes it despair.

If you give him enough time.

Even the old ape can't imagine how far someone named Chen can go?

Feel its mental changes.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but have a hint of surprise on his face.

I had known that this old ape was a psychic being, which was extremely rare even in the entire world of ghosts blowing lanterns.

However, he really didn't expect that this old monkey would be so smart.

Through the spiritual contract planted deep in its spiritual orifice.

He could clearly feel its thoughts.

The old ape thought that he was secretly thinking about it. He didn't know what the heavens and the earth didn't know. How could he have imagined that what he practiced was an immortal method!

"When we were in Pingshan, Chen once said that keeping you would be useful."

"Today, I will not hesitate to give you a blessing."

Chen Yulou slowly put away his thoughts and said calmly.

good fortune?

Hear these two words.

The old ape's heart moved inexplicably.

Although it doesn't understand what it means, it instinctively feels that it is beneficial to itself.

"Want to talk?"

boom!

The old ape, who was still wondering what kind of destiny he was, froze on the spot.

His eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

My mind went blank.

It seems that I have lost the ability to think.

"In no mood?"

Chen Yulou raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said something deliberately irritating.

Only then did the old ape react. He shook his head and nodded again and again, squeaking and sweating profusely, for fear that he would not understand what he meant.

"Okay, since you are willing, Chen will help you refine the bones in your mouth."

"but……"

Speaking of this, Chen Yulou's tone changed.

His expression also changed from calm to solemn.

The old ape got his promise, and his ears were perked up. He was afraid that he would miss a word, so he didn't dare to scream.

"But I also want to make it clear to you."

"Refining Henggu is by no means that simple. There may be certain dangers, so be prepared for failure."

"Do you understand?"

Chen Yulou stood with his hands behind his back and narrated lightly.

Leave the decision-making power to the old ape himself.

Of course, helping it refine Henggu is only one of them, there is another more important thing to do.

That is the spiritual orifice of observing the white ape.

Let's see if we can find a way for Kunlun through it.

See it lost in thought.

Chen Yulou was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Not long after.

Bai Yuan seemed to have made a decision, his eyes were weathered but extremely firm, and he nodded heavily towards him.

Such a good opportunity lies before us.

If you can't catch it.

Maybe if you miss it, you will never meet again in this life.

People always say that if you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.

It felt that whenever possible, it would give it a try.

Once it can speak, it can learn to read and decipher words, and maybe... it will have the opportunity to practice human breathing techniques.

Sixty years of nothing accomplished.

It's not impossible to be a late bloomer.

"it is good!"

See it and agree to come down.

Chen Yulou finally showed a hint of admiration in his eyes.

In the future, White Ape will definitely be happy for today's choice.

"Sit down cross-legged."

Without any delay, he gave the order directly.

The old ape didn't hesitate, he immediately sat down cross-legged and released his spiritual orifice.

It was different from the time in Pingshan where I was afraid of death but had no choice but to do so.

This time, it was willing.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou was moved.

In an instant, a majestic aura, like a river tide, rose out of thin air from under his gown.

In a pair of night eyes, green light floated.

He stretched out his finger and landed on Bai Yuan's forehead.

boom!

It only felt that a breath that was several times more powerful than the previous one broke into its mind and went straight to its spiritual orifice.

Sensing a familiar scent.

Even the faint spiritual contract started to move.

Chen Yulou ignored it, his face looked more serious than ever before, and he repeatedly observed its spiritual orifice with the help of spiritual energy.

Although he had done similar actions before.

But it just passed by.

He planted a spiritual contract and retreated.

Not like he is concentrating right now, not daring to look down upon the acupoints, veins, and even the flow of breath.

Moreover, while observing the white ape's spiritual orifice.

Chen Yulou also looks at himself internally.

Distinguish the difference between it carefully.

I don't know how long it took, but finally there was some understanding in his eyes.

Although apes are similar to humans, they are not the same species after all.

People have no spiritual acuity.

But there is a similarity, that is the Niwan Palace located deep in the mind.

This is what cultivators call the upper Dantian.

There are similar opinions among martial arts practitioners.

The ancient Qi practitioners passed down the Six Secrets of the Human Body, the most important of which is the Secret of Niwan.

By absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and opening up the six secrets of the human body, they can strengthen the energy, blood, spirit, and soul, until they can change the yin and yang, refine the cave, and achieve immortality.

This record was found in an ancient book.

It's a pity that Qi practitioners have died out as early as the Qin Dynasty and are no longer seen in the world.

However, from their practice methods, we can also get a glimpse of the mystery of Niwan Palace.

"So... Niwan is in chaos, and his spiritual intelligence is not enlightened."

"Is Kunlun probably encountering this problem?"

Chen Yulou murmured to himself.

It seemed that he heard his vague words.

The white ape closed his eyes tightly and subconsciously opened them.

"Relax your mind."

"Don't move."

With a soft drink, the white ape didn't dare to mess around, so he quickly held his breath and sat down at attention.

Chen Yulou urged the majestic spiritual energy to flow from its spiritual orifice to the mouth orifice and throat bone.

I have long heard that the reason why all the beasts in the world cannot speak.

It's because there is one more horizontal bone in the mouth than a human being.

Just refine it.

However, it sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do it.

Even if he is a white ape and has a deep understanding of human nature, he cannot refine it on his own.

But for Chen Yulou, it is not difficult.

At least.

It is much simpler than observing spiritual orifices.

Not long after, he saw a horizontal bone the size of a finger bone in the white ape's mouth.

Just press it between your mouth and throat.

So that all it could make was a squeaking sound.

and cannot form a complete discourse.

"So this is Heng Gu..."

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows, and something strange flashed in his eyes.

Now, he has already been able to look inside himself.

This is the first time I have seen such an amazing thing.

It’s really hard to imagine how you can endure having an extra horizontal bone in your mouth?

but.

The thought was fleeting.

There was no time to express too many emotions. Under his urging, the majestic Qingmu spiritual energy had already wrapped around Heng Gu.

"The green wood will live forever, all living things, refine!"

I thought silently in my heart.

That spiritual energy seemed to turn into a flame in an instant.

The horizontal bones wrapped in it are constantly being smelted.

This process seems slow, but in fact it only takes less than a moment.

Aoki's longevity skill, except for the lack of killing power, is the best in every aspect.

This was because he didn't dare to act too harshly for fear that something might happen.

Otherwise, a mere white ape's bones can be refined away with just one thought.

call--

Until the transverse bone melts away completely and disappears into nothingness.

Only then did Chen Yulou take back the tidal wave of Qingmu spiritual energy.

The tide returns to the air sea.

The majestic aura around him also gathered momentum.

He let out a long breath.

Then his eyes fell on the nervous old ape, "Okay, let's see if you can speak?"

Gudong!

Bai Yuan, who had been waiting anxiously, suddenly opened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

It even thought it was just a blink of an eye.

Is this the end?

But facing Chen Yulou's deep eyes.

But it made his panicked heart settle.

Subconsciously, I secretly took a few deep breaths, and kept recalling the way humans spoke in my mind.

In Baiyuan Cave, it had countless interactions with mountain people and merchants.

Now he has moved directly into Chenjiazhuang.

Human voices can be heard at all times.

And it has been practicing secretly for countless times.

Gathering up his courage, Bai Yuan slowly exhaled.

next moment.

A hoarse old voice suddenly sounded in its ears.

"White…white ape."
