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

"Late at night."

After a brief chat, they unknowingly reached the outskirts of the city.

On the high wall shrouded in darkness, a few figures could be vaguely seen, some patrolling back and forth, some leaning against the arrow rafts to avoid the wind and cold.

Chen Yulou shook the jar of wine in his hand.

An empty voice came.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious. It had only been a short while and the drink was already finished.

"It's very late, and we have to travel tomorrow."

Partridge Whistle nodded.

Others were obviously still immersed in the tremendous changes that had taken place in the Fire God's evil creature.

At this moment, he had just recovered a little, looked up at the village wall in the distance that looked like undulating mountains in the night, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Brother Chen, I'll take my leave first."

"Let's go together. It's icy and snowy here, and there's no scenery. We might as well go back and lie down."

Chen Yulou waved his hand.

If it were a different time, he might have been interested in taking a walk on the lake.

In vast waters like Yuhaizi, there may have been underwater monsters such as dragons, pythons, and turtles lurking and practicing for countless years.

But I have been running around non-stop these days.

I had another big drink tonight.

It seems calm and peaceful, but people are not made of iron after all.

Moreover, at this moment he could clearly feel the aftereffects of the strong liquor beginning to rise, and with the cold wind blowing, he could no longer suppress his tiredness.

Compared to water monsters.

He would rather sleep in a warm bed.

"it is good."

Partridge Whistle naturally would not refuse.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, slowly returning along the original route.

Not long after.

By the time we arrived at those courtyards, the last bit of noise had disappeared.

Apart from the occasional neighing of horses and the sound of hooves.

There was only the sound of snoring coming and going.

The two were already used to this, and it was obvious that these guys were exhausted.

It took more than a month to go back and forth.

Although I was on the road most of the time.

But being in the far west and having come this far says it all.

After all, it is not easy to survive in such a harsh environment.

"Brother Chen, go to bed early."

After walking through the courtyard and standing outside a wooden door, Partridge Whistle clasped his fists and spoke gently.

Chen Yulou just nodded.

Watch him push the door open and walk in.

Then go to bed with your clothes on.

However, he did not rush back to his room, but found a millstone to sit down, with thoughts flowing between his brows.

Previously, the sacrificial ceremony of leading the gods was performed through Azhiya.

It finally confirmed one thing for him.

That is, in addition to the ancient gods, there are also evil gods in this world.

The Great Black Mountain, the Thunder Mountain, the Crystal Mountain, the Great Ghost Megi, and the God of Fire all belong to this category.

According to his guess.

These invisible and intangible evil gods seem to be relics from an ancient era.

The moment the black shadow descended, Chen Yulou sensed an ancient, decayed aura, as if it had been sealed in a coffin for thousands of years.

This kind of aura has never been seen in the six-winged centipede, the Nanpanjiang turtle, the Fuxian Lake dragon, the Pingshan corpse king, and the red-clothed female ghost in Zhalong Mountain.

In other words.

It... should be a different existence from demons, mountain spirits, evil spirits and ghosts.

"Evil God!"

He exhaled slowly.

A word emerged in Chen Yulou's mind.

The definition using the word "yin spirit" seems not accurate enough.

Moreover, the four have one thing in common, that is, they feed on incense and fire, which is blood food, and there is no trace of spiritual practice at all.

"Another point."

"I have been practicing for so long, traveling all over the country, but I have never found any trace of an immortal."

"So, where did they go?"

Sitting cross-legged, Chen Yulou looked down at the ancient well beside him. With the faint light from the eaves, he could vaguely see the mirror-like well water.

He had actually thought about this question many times.

There are countless legends about Taoist practice, Buddhist enlightenment, ascension, and turning into rainbows. Logically speaking, they should not be groundless.

but……

So far.

Apart from the remains of the immortals, he had even been to the legendary ascension platform, but he never sensed a trace of aura.

Before, he just thought that his cultivation was too low.

The real person is right next to you, yet it is hard to see through him.

But the golden elixir and the cave heaven.

His cultivation realm is improving day by day. He has seen countless demons and monsters, and even the ancient gods have been suppressed. He has slain all the evil and broken the evil, but it is still like this. There is obviously something wrong.

"So, is there a possibility."

"In the ancient times when the ancient gods descended, the world underwent drastic changes, cutting off the source of spiritual energy. The imaginary space then split apart, forming countless caves and heavens."

Think of this.

Chen Yulou's eyes became more and more clear.

It was as if my Ren and Du meridians were opened, and I had an epiphany, gradually sorting out my tangled thoughts.

"That's why, as time goes by, our spiritual power decreases, and we may even enter the Dharma Ending Age, the day of the extinction of spiritual power."

"The more difficult it is to practice, the more difficult it is. So even if there are great practitioners who have reached the Ascension Realm, they have also entered the Cave Heaven?"

"As for the gods before the ancient times, they have become evil creatures and can only hide in small caves or space cracks to survive?"

Whispering in a low voice.

Countless images flashed through his mind.

Just like a quick tour.

After entering the cave realm, he could clearly see the rules of heaven and earth with his true eyes.

However, the 'God of Fire' tore through the fog and plunged into the escaping space, but there was no trace at all, as if it was not within the rules.

How can this be?

As long as you are in this world, you must abide by the rules of this world.

Unless, that space did not exist from the beginning.

Rather, it was forcibly created by a being with great supernatural powers.

To be able to achieve this, Chen Yulou could think of no other possibility except the ancient god.

When a whale dies, all things come to life.

The fall of that ancient god brought about impacts that were beyond human imagination.

"So, the netherworld and heavenly palaces that are rumored by various religions and folks are just caves and heavenly spaces that exist between heaven and earth?"

hiss--

Think of this possibility.

Even he couldn't help but gasp.

If this were true, those so-called religious believers would probably go crazy.

Even he found it difficult to accept the fact that he had lived two lives as a human being at first, let alone the people of this era?

But it must be said that although this idea is bold, it is not entirely unreasonable.

We can get a glimpse of this from the great ghost Megi, the god of fire, and the evil god Mahakala sealed in the jade box. They are either tangible but intangible, or invisible and intangible. They appear out of thin air and disappear in an instant.

In the eyes of mortals.

That is a miracle that cannot be looked at directly.

In fact, he just returned to the cave, just like the empty place full of strong winds that he saw when he followed the big ghost Megi when he was with Master Longmo.

It is most likely a space crack.

"The caves and heavens hidden in these evil gods and demons are so amazing, what about... the other ancient gods?"

Chen Yulou smacked his lips.

The original ancient god Entropy and Green Hell were the first ancient gods in existence that he could confirm.

It certainly doesn't appear easily on weekdays.

It is very likely that the crack was torn open and stored in the Taixu Cave Heaven.

"This matter is too big. If you have time, you must pay close attention to it."

Determined.

Chen Yulou glanced at the dark night, thought no more, stood up and walked straight towards the room.

Followed by a creaking sound of the door closing.

The lamp went out.

Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard from inside the house.

Until noon the next day.

Gradually, voices began to be heard in several courtyards. A group of guys had gotten drunk last night and were now feeling confused. They gathered in the courtyard, smoking pipes and chatting.

"Looks like they're all pretty free."

"Kidnap Master."

"Shopkeeper Hua."

"The second boss."

As everyone was playing and joking, talking about what they had seen and heard last night, boasting about their own battle achievements, and even talking about the young Turkic girls.

Suddenly.

A laugh came.

At that moment, everyone's expression changed slightly, and they all stood up and greeted each other.

"The shopkeeper said that we will set off today and return to Xiangyin as soon as possible."

"If we hurry, we might even be able to catch the Spring Festival."

Hua Maguai just had a quick bite last night, drank a few cups with Bo Li and others, and then came back alone.

How could he feel at ease leaving hundreds of trucks of goods in the yard?

Although a waiter was specially arranged.

But after all, he was on someone else's territory, so he didn't sleep well that night, and only fell into a light sleep in the second half of the night near dawn.

All in all, I didn't sleep for many hours.

But he seemed to be in high spirits because he had something on his mind.

"Leaving today?"

The group obviously didn't expect it to be so urgent.

After all, I just arrived last night.

"Why, you plan to stay and find a girl to marry, and then go fishing and hunting?"

Hua Maguai had heard everything they were chatting about before. Unlike the Han people, the Turkic tribe was very open-minded about matters such as love between men and women.

During every sacrifice and bonfire dinner.

As long as a young man and woman are attracted to each other, and you are unmarried and I am unmarried, they can have the wedding night with mutual consent.

The girls, who would blush at the mere sight of such a custom, could no longer bear it when they suddenly saw it.

In other words, they are afraid of being held accountable by the shopkeeper.

Otherwise, many people would have had to spend the night outside last night.

Apart from anything else, Zhang Yunqiao received six or seven handkerchiefs, jades, bracelets and other tokens of love last night, and he was so happy that his mouth was stretched to his ears.

But he is still quite restrained.

I really couldn't control myself last night.

Do you really think that the Turkic people can come and go as they please?

By then, even if Chen Yulou pleaded, it would probably be of no avail.

When their thoughts were exposed, the group of people couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay, stop dreaming about those unrealistic things. When we get back to the mountain, we'll reward you based on your merits. I dare say that you guys are rich, so making a fortune won't be a problem."

Hua Maguai is, after all, an old man who has followed Chen Yulou for many years.

Over the years, I have traveled all over the country and seen a lot.

Matters between men and women are simple to say, but when you are out, it is best to keep a cool head, otherwise you may die without knowing how.

Not to mention other places.

In the western Hunan area.

Luohua Cave Girl and Miaojiang Gu Master, once a love Gu is planted, the love Gu will never be able to get out of it for the rest of your life, and you can only be locked tightly in the other party's palm.

"Thank you, Second Master."

I heard words like reward for merit and windfall.

The group of people became excited instantly.

If you join the tomb-robbing business, you're putting your head on the line. Isn't it just risking your life for wealth and fame?

This trip was fruitful and they gained countless rewards. In fact, they had already guessed privately that they were always generous to others and were never stingy with rewards.

If you can really make a lot of money.

When the time comes, I will buy a few acres of land in Xiangyin.

When I get older, maybe I can go back and be a leisurely landlord.

"Stop being silly."

"Let's light a fire and cook. I estimate we'll have to leave in an hour at most."

"Yes, the second boss!"

In an instant, the response was like a tsunami.

Everyone was too scared to delay and wished they could grow wings and return to Xiangyin as soon as possible.

The end of the year, the Spring Festival and so on are not important.

Rewarding according to merit is the real thing.

What's more, the Western Regions are a place of ice and snow, with either snow or yellow sand. It would be a torture for them to stay there for the rest of their lives.

"A bunch of bastards."

Seeing everyone disperse, they all got busy.

Hua Maguai couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

He clapped his hands, then thought of something and turned to look at the courtyard behind him.

Hua Ling and Hong Girl had already woken up.

It is said that early in the morning, the two of them went to the lake to enjoy the scenery.

Although he didn't know what was so good about a big lake and his face hurt from the cold wind from the lake, Hua Ma was a smart guy, so how could he really say anything?

There was still no sign of Yang Fang and the old foreigner.

I guess he drank too much last night.

As for Kunlun, he was sitting by the ancient well, wiping his halberd.

The kidnapper was not surprised by this.

Sometimes, he envied Kunlun's mentality. He was never anxious and always did his own thing in a methodical manner.

I leaned over and looked for a moment.

His peripheral vision was always fixed on the doors behind him.

Not long after, one of the doors opened from the inside. Hua Maguai's eyes lit up. He patted Kunlun's shoulder and walked over quickly.

"The shopkeeper's."

Chen Yulou was holding a strange brush in his hand.

Made of bristle.

Dip it in fine salt and rinse your teeth back and forth.

The shopkeeper calls it a toothbrush and he specially has someone make it. He always carries it with him when he goes out, and he brushes his teeth every time he wakes up or goes to bed, no matter it is morning or evening.

He is used to it.

"Are you all ready?"

Chen Yulou motioned for him to wait for a moment, and only asked after he finished brushing.

"Almost done, now just waiting for dinner."

"The weather is good today. At our speed, we will be able to reach Kunmo City by tomorrow at the latest."

Hua Maguai replied in an orderly manner.

"That's fine."

Chen Yulou nodded.

"Oh, by the way, if you are not busy, come with me to meet the two seniors. After all, we are staying here, and it is impolite to leave without saying goodbye."

"it is good."

Hua Maguai agreed immediately.

He is used to doing everything by himself, and as soon as he gets up, he arranges things in order.

After a while.

After the two of them passed through the city, they arrived at the residence of Wutuo and Azhiya.

"Why so sudden?"

"Brother Chen, do you have any grievances against this old man? You haven't even had time to fulfill your duties as a good host."

A cup of butter tea was brewed for each of them.

After hearing Chen Yulou's explanation of his origins, Wutuo and Azhiya could not help but look at each other, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

Apparently even they hadn't expected it.

"No, no, no, Chief Wuto, it's just that I've been out for too long and I miss home very much."

Chen Yulou waved his hands repeatedly.

"There are so many of us staying here, it's already a nuisance."

"Well, at least we've had dinner..."

Seeing that he insisted and seemed to have been prepared for it, Wutuo didn't want to persuade him any further.

"I've asked the guys to light a fire when I got here, so eating is a piece of cake."

We exchanged some simple greetings.

Chen Yulou stood up and prepared to leave.

But before he could open his mouth, Azhiya, who had been silent, suddenly called him and said seriously.

"Wait, Brother Chen, the old man has something else to trouble you with."

"Please help me clear up my confusion."
