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

Longling at night.

There is an indescribable beauty.

The sky was pitch black with a hint of azure blue, and the fiery clouds at sunset added a hint of red to the horizon.

The three colors blend together, and there is silence.

There was only the cold wind blowing from afar, the whimpering of the ground in the night, and the swaying of the dry grass.

In the deep ravine at the foot of the mountain.

You can also see a few horses, slowly lowering their heads to look for food.

The leader is a snow-white dragon.

It was none other than Longju.

It didn't take much effort.

Finally, when the last ray of setting sun in the sky set, a crescent moon finally rose slowly, hanging between thousands of mountains and valleys, so hazy that the words "cold moon" subconsciously emerged in people's minds.

Chen Yulou let out a breath and withdrew his gaze from the bare mountain ridge in the distance.

There is a wind lantern hanging in the fishbone temple behind me.

Although dim.

But compared to the coldness of the past, it is now a little more lively.

Even the gate made of fishbone jagged edges didn't look that ferocious and scary.

Kunlun and the old foreigner were busy cooking.

We went down to the tomb early in the morning and thought the trip would be finished in half a day at most. However, under the tomb that never sees sunlight, time passed much faster than we expected.

When they came out from the secret passage under the shrine.

It was already getting dark.

Unconsciously.

A whole day had passed.

The nearest village to Longling was more than 20 miles away, and it was difficult to travel at night. Most importantly, Yang Fang was in a low mood, so he simply decided to spend the night at the Fishbone Temple.

This is how the current situation came about.

Said it was cooking.

In fact, it is just a simple stew of dry food purchased in Gulan County.

A fire pit was dug at the corner of the wall outside the temple.

Put the pot you carry with you on the shelf.

Add water, put in the ingredients, and then add a little oil and salt.

In such a deserted place, just having a bite of hot food is enough, so why would you care about the taste?

Besides, none of them can cook.

He looked over a few people.

Chen Yulou looked inside the temple again.

In the dim light.

A lonely figure leaned against the wall.

After coming out, Yang Fang has been keeping this posture, holding the bamboo basket tightly with both hands, his eyes empty, not saying a word, and he seems to have not moved from beginning to end.

See this.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh secretly.

No matter who is caught in this kind of thing, it will be difficult to get over it in a short period of time.

The firewood was crackling in the fire pit.

Soon, a faint fragrance spread.

The old foreigner stood up and prepared to call Yang Fang, but when he saw his expression, he didn't know how to start. Just as he was in a dilemma, a hand gently patted his shoulder.

Chen Yulou was carrying a pot of strong liquor.

Passed by by mistake.

Walk straight through the temple gate and enter.

"Come on, we know you're in a bad mood, but this is not your intention. Get drunk, wake up tomorrow, and continue looking forward."

"Besides, if the senior saw you like this, he would also feel uneasy."

The cork was pulled out with a bang.

Passed the wine bottle.

Yang Fang slowly raised his head, his eyes full of bloodshot.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded.

He really needed to get drunk to vent his depression and pain.

Wait until the two of them walk out of the Fishbone Temple one after the other.

Kunlun and the old foreigner, who had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks, looked at each other and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the shopkeeper’s.

Otherwise, if it were them, I really wouldn’t know how to comfort them.

"Come, come, come, tonight, everyone is welcome to drink until they are drunk!"

Pull Yang Fang to sit down.

They are all grown men, and no one cares about so many things. They sit on the floor and eat around the stove.

Chen Yulou picked up a pot of liquor and shook it at a few people.

"it is good!"

How could Partridge Whistle and the other two refuse?

The response was immediate and thunderous.

Seeing this, Yang Fang's eyes turned red. He pursed his lips and said nothing more. He tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

The cool drink went down my throat.

Once it enters the stomach.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a blaze. The burning and tearing sensation in his chest did not make him feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.

The wine is turbid and spicy.

Like a knife cutting the throat.

I brought it from the small shop at Shibalipu Wharf outside the ancient city of Hanzhong.

Because it is too intense, except for Chen Yulou, the others have always kept their distance from it, so it has survived until now.

In the store that day, Yang Fang only tasted it briefly and didn't want to drink it anymore after taking a sip.

But at this moment, he only felt comfortable all over, as if all the pores in his body were opened, and the depressed energy accumulated in his chest was dissipated bit by bit.

"Good wine!"

He exhaled the alcohol.

Yang Fang rarely spoke.

However, when he was about to continue, Chen Yulou stopped him, "How can you drink so quietly like this? Eat something and take your time. This wine... needs to be savored slowly."

The donkey is so bored.

This is not groundless.

Didn’t you see the way the laborers in the shop that day looked at him? It was almost as if the words "respect him like a god" were written on their faces.

Most people simply cannot bear it.

People like Yang Fang who have something on their mind should not do this, otherwise, after just a few sips, they will be drunk to death and fall to the ground.

"it is good."

Yang Fang nodded.

He took the chopsticks handed to him by the old foreigner and scooped up a piece of pancake.

Sucking up enough broth.

It was unexpectedly good.

After a few mouthfuls, my whole body felt warm.

Someone is with you.

gradually.

He started to talk little by little.

No longer as depressed as before.

Talk about past events and recount what you have seen and heard while traveling around the world.

Chen Yulou was just waiting for him to speak, but he was afraid that he would remain silent and keep everything in his heart, which would cause trouble then.

What is he best at?

He has the ability to win people's hearts and speak eloquently.

No matter what the topic is, he can connect with it, from all over the world, humanities and geology, astronomy and geography, to strange stories and the martial arts world.

Unconsciously.

He has already taken control of the table.

Yang Fang was no longer as gloomy as before. The firelight shone on his face, and his frown gradually relaxed, and his expression became more clear.

Until he woke up again.

It was already after noon the next day.

Lifting his robe, Yang Fang pushed open the door in surprise, only to find that Kunlun was the only one in the Fishbone Temple.

"woke up?"

"The shopkeeper and his men have gone out to check the terrain. They may not be back for a while."

"Are you hungry? I've left some food for you in the pot. It's still hot."

Kunlun looked calm.

He woke up from his meditation and said softly.

It seemed as if what happened last night had never happened.

Yang Fang couldn't help scratching his head. He wanted to ask what happened last night. It was as if he had lost all memory. He couldn't even remember how he fell asleep.

However, after sleeping till now, I feel a lot more relaxed.

And I'm really hungry.

My stomach is growling loudly.

He didn't act pretentiously. He took the bowl and chopsticks, walked to the fire pit, sat down, opened the lid and started to eat.

Wait until you are full.

There were voices coming from outside at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Yulou and others woke up early in the morning.

After having a simple meal, seeing that Yang Fang showed no signs of waking up for the time being, he sat outside the Fishbone Temple and looked out at the mountains and valleys of Longling. The terrain was like fish scales, and the more he looked, the more amazing it seemed.

then.

Three people together.

Depart from Fishbone Temple.

He walked all over the surrounding mountains on foot.

The journey was naturally full of dangers. On the seemingly calm ground, no one could predict whether there was a hole or a trap underneath.

If you are not careful, you will get caught in it.

After witnessing the horror of the Longling Labyrinth, the old foreigner simply released two armored beasts to explore the way.

It has to be said that the Mountain-Climbing Cave Armor is worthy of being a monster belonging to the earth element of the Five Elements.

Just like Yuan Hong, he has a natural and keen sense of the terrain.

As long as you follow them, even if there are thousands of ravines and valleys, it will be as easy as walking on flat ground.

One morning.

The three of them returned satisfied.

"Brother Yang Fang, have you woken up?"

Seeing Yang Fang rushing outside the door after hearing the noise, Chen Yulou first glanced at him and saw that he looked calm, not as gloomy as yesterday, so he smiled and said.

"I woke up for a while."

"Have you eaten yet?"

Yang Fang nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou did not delay and said, "In that case, today is a good day to travel."

"Maybe we can catch a fast boat and reach Yang County as soon as possible."

Riding a horse is naturally faster than taking a boat.

However, this time, since we have to carry the remains of Senior Jin Suanpan and the golden fragrant jade weighing hundreds of kilograms, it is much more appropriate to take a boat than to ride a horse.

"Alright."

A trace of pain flashed across Yang Fang's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

anyway.

Now that the matter has been decided.

The most important thing now is to send the master's remains back to his hometown and bury them in peace.

Just tidied it up briefly.

Without any further hesitation, the group set out from the Fishbone Temple and headed straight for the pier outside Gulan County. Unlike when they came here a few days ago, there were many more boats on the vast water.

Obviously taking advantage of the good weather.

Fishing, ferrying and transporting goods.

I asked someone at the dock and heard that they wanted to charter a boat to Yang County downstream, which caused quite a stir for a while.

Although they all live by the river.

But the gap between Gulan County and Yang County is too big.

Ever since the Iron-Headed Dragon King died in Zhangjiawan more than ten years ago, it seemed as if his fate had changed.

Merchant ships from other places would rather travel a hundred miles to Yang County to spend the night at the port than to stay, for fear of offending the River Dragon King and being contaminated by bad luck.

Merchants who originally made their living from the water have lost their business and are in a state of decline.

They even had to sell their ships.

Now I finally have a business.

It’s still the big customers who want to charter a boat.

A group of boatmen almost came to a fight.

In the end, Chen Yulou personally ordered a large ship. After all, they were traveling with five horses, and an ordinary ship could not accommodate them.

Had a simple meal on the boat.

Boatmen who live by the water always have their own unique cooking methods for river fish.

It doesn’t require great cooking skills or techniques, nor does it require too many seasonings.

Boil water and add salt.

At most add some chili.

A splash of hot oil brings out the aroma.

It is more delicious than any I have ever had in a restaurant.

The group of people originally wanted to decline the boatman's kindness, but when they looked at the rich soup in the iron pot and the fragrance in the air, they could hardly lift their feet for a moment.

Sit around the iron pot.

Then wash it down with the boatman’s own brewed wine.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

The boat floated down the waves.

It was not until the next morning that we finally arrived at Shuijing Wharf outside Yang County.

Got off the boat.

The group went straight to Fangjiashan.
