Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 2, Mingyu Gong
"Yongbo!"

Chen Yulou nodded and said, "Where's my father?"

Yong Bo lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "The master is practicing in the backyard."

"Master, please follow me!"

After saying this, Yong Bo led the way.

Chen Yulou immediately followed, walked around the front hall, the middle courtyard, and into the backyard.

In a corner of the backyard, there are rows of training pillars. A kind-looking bald old man jumps between these pillars, easily crossing pillars that are seven or eight meters away. His posture is elegant, like a nimble swallow.

Chen Yulou knew that this was his Chen family's inherited light skill, the Swallow's Tail.

He will too!
It just can't be done to this extent.

Seeing Chen Yuliu coming in, the kind-looking bald old man turned his head to look at him, then put his hands behind his back, and lightly jumped, like a swallow, gliding from a seven or eight meter high pillar to Chen Yuliu who was ten meters away.

This is Chen Manfeng, the second generation leader of the Chen family.

His father.

"Master, wipe your sweat!" Yong Bo quickly took the towel from the maid next to him and handed it to Chen Manfeng.

Chen Manfeng took the towel, and while wiping himself he glanced at Chen Yulou and sighed, "My health isn't as good as it used to be, but after just a little practice, I'm sweating!"

Chen Yulou knew that this was a point at him.

After all, in Chen Manfeng's eyes, his son was not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

But who can blame him for being Chen Manfeng's only son?

As the second-generation leader of Xiangling, Chen Manfeng naturally visited countless tombs when he was young. Perhaps it was because he was surrounded by a cold wind that he had a son when he was nearly forty years old.

Although Chen Manfeng looks like a man in his sixties or seventies, he is actually only in his early fifties. This may be the sequelae of tomb robbery.

"Please take care of yourself, Dad!"

Chen Yulou said calmly.

The relationship between my predecessor and his father was very bad. They would quarrel after just a few words. The reason why the relationship between my predecessor and his father was bad was because my predecessor had too strong self-esteem, and his father always poured cold water on me and found fault with me, which made my predecessor want to prove himself even more.

In order to prove himself, the predecessor naturally had to pay a lot and stand out. Therefore, Chen Manfeng became more strict with his son, and the relationship between the father and son was very disharmonious.

Although the two are not on good terms, the son is still very filial and the father cares very much about him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Manfeng glanced at his son, handed the towel in his hand to Yong Bo, sat down on the armchair next to him, and waved his hand. The maid next to him hurriedly handed a bamboo pipe to Chen Manfeng.

At the same time, he lit up Chen Manfeng. He took a puff, leaned back in the armchair, and said lightly: "How can I take care of myself?"

"My health is deteriorating, but you...are still clumsy and arrogant. How can I trust you to hand over the Chen family's foundation and the hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Xiling lineage to you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou glanced at Chen Manfeng, then lowered his head and remained silent.

It was rare for him to argue with Chen Manfeng.

Moreover, Chen Manfeng's vision was indeed very accurate. The Chen Yulou in the original novel was indeed not suitable to be the leader of Xiangling. Not only did he destroy the second generation of the Chen family's foundation, but he also buried the entire Xiangling lineage.

Perhaps because he was "in the wrong", he chose to remain silent even though he wanted to imitate his predecessor.

Seeing that his son remained silent, Chen Manfeng frowned, with some surprise in his eyes.

His son always liked to go against him. If he went east, the brat would go west. So they were either arguing or in the middle of an argument. He hadn't seen silence like today in seven or eight years.

"Forget it. I've said these things to you countless times. You're tired of hearing them, and I'm tired of saying them too."

Chen Manfeng shook his head and glanced at Yong Bo.

Yong Bo immediately pushed open the door of a room next door, went in for about a few minutes, and then came out with a wooden tray and stood in front of Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou looked up and glanced at the wooden tray, and by chance found an extremely ancient book and a jade token.

At this time, Chen Yulou, who had taken a puff of Han cigarette, glanced at Chen Yulou and said, "That book is a secret manual called Ming Yu Gong. It was found by your grandfather in a royal tomb from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period."

Mingyu Gong?
Chen Yulou glanced at Ming Yugong and then at Chen Manfeng.

Since Chen Manfeng specifically mentioned it, it is obvious that the Mingyu Gong is very extraordinary!
He was not surprised. After all, this was a world of tomb raiders, where mountain spirits, ghosts, and talented people really existed.

Chen Manfeng continued, "According to records, this Mingyu Gong is an authentic and supreme inner martial arts technique. It is extremely powerful and can also grant eternal youth."

"Of course, no one knows whether it's true or not."

"When your grandfather obtained the Mingyu Gong, he was already middle-aged. He practiced for more than thirty years, but he still couldn't break through the first level."

"I have been practicing since I was ten years old, and now, after more than forty years, I have only just reached the second level."

"But you also know that your father was injured by Yin Qi when he went to the tomb in his early years, so the degree of aging of his body is far beyond ordinary. If it weren't for Mingyu Gong, I'm afraid I would no longer be alive now."

"So, this Mingyu Gong really does have the effect of eternal youth."

"Unfortunately, the nine levels of the technique are so far apart that it's like falling from the sky."

Chen Manfeng was full of regrets. After all, he only practiced the second level to delay the damage to his body caused by the Yin Qi. You know, when he was injured by the Yin Qi, an old Taoist elder predicted that he would not live past the age of fifty. But now, not only has he lived past the age of fifty, he is already over fifty-four years old. He even feels that he can live to another twenty.

This is the effect of Mingyu Gong.

But he is only at the second level. If he can reach the ninth level, can he really achieve immortality?
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

After hearing this, the calm Chen Yulou immediately showed a look of shock.

You should know that although there is no immortal person in "Ghost Blows Out the Light", various mountain spirits, ghosts, and strange stories all indicate that there may really be a way to achieve immortality.

In particular, the leader of Guanshan Taibao, Feng Shigu, was originally a man of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, but he "lived" to the modern era. This can be considered an alternative way of immortality.

So, this world is not impossible.

Chen Yulou suppressed his excitement, frowned, and looked at Chen Manfeng, questioning him, "Why are you telling me now?"

Logically speaking, the sooner he learns this magical skill, the better. After all, he is already eighteen years old.

According to the novel in his previous life, he had missed the best time to get started.

"Humph!"

"Give it to you earlier? Do you want me to send off a young person when I am old?" Chen Manfeng glanced at his son and snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou withdrew his gaze.

Indeed, the previous incarnation was very restless. It would have been fine if he had no ability, but if he had, he would have brought people to the tomb and proved it to Chen Manfeng long ago.

"Also, this jade token is a token of my old friend. I plan to send you to him and ask you to become his disciple."
