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

"What a psychic beast."

"What a spiritual person! Bai Ze is also a good name."

"Isn't he really born a different species?"

The deer clearly understood human nature.

When he heard the word Bai Ze, he actually nodded slightly.

Standing under the sun at this moment, his whole body is snow-white, his pupils are like amber, and he looks like a fairy beast.

Noble, ethereal, and inviolable.

The people around were shaken by the sight, and felt both surprised and delighted.

Until now.

I have seen countless monsters, but among the innate spiritual creatures, only the old white ape can barely be considered.

Luofu is not good enough.

After all, there are essential differences between spiritual creatures and alien species.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen."

"A divine beast descended from the sky!"

Looking at the strange beast standing next to him, Partridge Whistle's expression was full of emotion. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

Luofu, Yuan Hong, Bai Long... and now Bai Ze.

They are all rare and magical species in the world.

Not to mention ordinary casual cultivators.

Even those great Taoist sects that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years find it difficult to find one.

Reflect on yourself.

I have carefully raised it for so long.

The two armored beasts were only barely able to transform into monsters.

He did awaken a natural magical power.

But in terms of spirituality, not to mention the white ape, even his dragon colt is far inferior.

What he didn't know was.

In addition to Luofu, Yuan Hong and Bailong, he had already planted another spiritual seed in Fuxian Lake before.

Dragon, phoenix, unicorn, tortoise, crane, deer.

Now, three out of six are occupied.

Half the number.

Otherwise, he would be truly shocked.

"where."

"It's just luck."

"I didn't expect that I would be given such a big surprise as soon as I arrived at Junshan Island."

Hear the words.

Chen Yulou just shook his head.

There is absolutely no falsehood in this statement.

After all, even if he was a time traveler and had made all the calculations in advance, he would never have imagined that an elk that had been extinct for more than ten years could still survive on this island in the middle of the lake.

It is definitely a pleasant surprise.

A deer was seen in the deep forest, running to Sutai.

Listening to the conversation between the young shopkeeper and the leader of the mountain moving team.

Uncle Jiu and a few others standing by had even more complicated feelings.

No matter how ignorant you are, you can see right now that this stag is no simple deer.

If this were really treated as a musk deer, it would be slaughtered.

I'm afraid it would be hard to find another one like it in the world.

Isn’t such a spiritual creature the legendary beast?

In the vernacular novels, Jiang Ziya's mount is a monster that looks like a monster of four different species. In addition, the mounts of the South Pole Immortal, the Taoist Master Ran Deng, and the Star of Longevity are all the same.

Not to mention, those who achieved immortality in folk legends also ascended to heaven by walking on clouds or riding deer.

Plus the unfinished words that the kidnapper had said earlier.

Isn't that hinting at something?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense. He grew up by the Dongting Lake and followed his father into the mountains to hunt. He had even killed tigers and leopards, but he had never heard of the appearance of a stag.

And so many of them started landing on the island last year.

Not to mention that there was such a big deer hidden on the island.

Not even a bird or a mosquito can escape the sight of these guys.

unless……

The deer itself is raised by immortals.

From beginning to end it is hidden in an invisible paradise.

If you really kill it and eat its meat, the immortals will blame you and sending you to hell would probably be the least of your worries.

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu's heart trembled, and the other guys looked at each other with fear on their faces.

Especially the guy with the knife.

At this moment, he felt his legs trembling. He clenched his hands and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

If you don't sharpen your knife before the battle.

Now I guess I really have to go to the underworld to meet my grandfather.

He ignored the people who had different thoughts.

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand, and without anyone noticing, a flash of inspiration flowed through his palm, and he gently stroked the deer's head.

A warm feeling like jade suddenly came over me.

And Bai Ze.

First, I closed my eyes subconsciously.

The next second, as if realizing something, his amber eyes suddenly widened, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Inspiration!

It is comparable to the rich spiritual energy in a cave.

It opened its mouth and swallowed in small mouthfuls until the spiritual energy warmed its entire body. Only then did it finally confirm that it was correct, and its eyes became brighter and brighter.

But this scene, in the eyes of the people around, was a completely different picture.

But Chen Yulou stretched out his hand.

Bai Ze was like a small animal like a cat or a dog, rubbing against each other affectionately with his head tilted.

I just think this stag is really clingy.

Not afraid of strangers at all.

As for the guys who had participated in the hunting trip in the morning, they looked as if they had seen a ghost, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

It's not about risking a few brothers getting injured.

Plus, there are more people.

It is not easy to hunt it.

How ferocious it was then, how docile and tame it is now.

"Young Master, do you want to find something for it to eat?"

Old Uncle Jiu secretly swallowed his saliva. He no longer had the thought of killing for meat. He just thought that it would not be a bad thing to have such a spiritual beast guarding the island.

"also."

"Just ask the brothers to cut some fresh grass."

If I remember correctly, elk's diet is extremely diverse, including young leaves, weeds, and duckweed.

Now is the time when all things revive and plants grow.

He even suspected that Bai Ze suddenly appeared because he woke up from hibernation to eat.

"it is good."

Uncle Jiu nodded.

Without any instructions, those guys who had been on pins and needles finally got a chance to make amends. They immediately volunteered to go to the back mountain to find fresh aquatic plants for it.

"One more thing."

"Young Shopkeeper, how do we take care of it next?"

"Should we ask the brothers to build a courtyard or clear out a room?"

Wait for a few people to leave.

Uncle Jiu glanced at the garden behind him. The fences built around it were already dilapidated and would basically break at the slightest touch. It would probably not be a good idea to keep the animals there in captivity.

"No need to bother."

"Uncle Jiu, Bai Ze can just find food on the island by himself. Also, remember to tell the brothers not to stand around and watch, so as not to disturb it."

"How you lived before is how you will live next."

Chen Yulou waved his hand.

Bai Ze is psychic, and from what he can see now, his spirituality is even deeper than when he first met the white ape that day.

Since it has been able to live in seclusion on Junshan Island for so many years.

It naturally has its own unique way of survival.

What's more, Junshan Island is surrounded by water on all sides. Unless Bai Ze can dive freely like a big fish, there is no need to worry that it will escape when no one is watching.

As a natural spiritual creature.

It also has the keenest sense of the spiritual inspiration of the Zhou Tian.

Bai Ze should know it best.

Today, within the hundreds of miles of Dongting Lake, there is no place more suitable than Junshan Island.

"what……"

Uncle Jiu opened his mouth and obviously wanted to say something.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay." "Don't worry, young shopkeeper. I'll go and give the order right away."

At this point, he looked at the iron pot that was still boiling but empty, and smiled awkwardly.

"Today's meal may have to be postponed for a while."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat."

"Uncle Jiu, please tell me about the current situation on the island first."

Seeing that he had no intention of blaming him, Uncle Jiu's heart suddenly fell back into his stomach.

The first day that the young shopkeeper arrived on the island.

It almost caused a huge mess.

Even he couldn't help feeling flustered.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain."

Old Uncle Jiu smiled awkwardly and immediately extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Come, young shopkeeper, please come this way."

It’s been so long since I arrived on the island.

We have come all this way, we can’t just leave them here like this.

He led a group of people to the front hall.

Although it has been abandoned for many years, the statues in the temple are still well preserved. After all, people come and go on the island, and there are many mountain kings, but few people dare to do things like knocking down the statues and setting fire to the temple.

The statue looks extremely heroic, with one hand supporting his forehead and the other holding a pearl, his eyes gazing at the 800-li Dongting Lake outside the island, as if he is adjusting yin and yang and guarding against flooding in the lake.

Beside him, there is a statue of a dragon girl.

It looks bright, charming, dignified and elegant.

"Prince Dongting?"

Yang Fang raised his eyebrows, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

When he went up the mountain before, a friend told him that the monks in Dongting Temple were expelled from the island by Jiu Tou Long and Hei Jiao Qi many years ago. He also thought that the Buddha and Guanyin should be worshipped in Dongting Temple.

Unexpectedly, looking at the statue in front of me, it is clearly an ancient Taoist temple.

"Brother Yang Fang, haven't you heard of the legend of Liu Yi and the Dragon Girl from the Tang Dynasty?"

Hearing the hesitation in his tone, Chen Yulou couldn't help but look at him with a smile.

The second concubine of Emperor Shun and the dragon girl Liu Yi.

These are the two most vivid stories about Dongting Lake.

Countless versions of the story have been circulated in the market, attracting the envy of countless young girls, who have secretly developed feelings for him and want to go to Dongting Lake to meet their own Lord Liu Yi.

After all, Yang Fang is an old man who is used to traveling around the world.

It stands to reason that you shouldn't have heard of it.

"Ah, to be honest with you, Shopkeeper Chen, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Yang Fang scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Last year, I took a boat across Dongting Lake to Wuling Mountain, and my mind was full of past events.

"Haha, it seems that Brother Yang Fang is similar to me. He is not interested in such love affairs."

Uncle Jiu patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fang immediately realized that Liu Yi and the Dragon Girl should be similar to the scholar and the fox girl, Xu Xian and the White Snake.

Moreover, compared to Liu Yi, he is more interested in the Dragon Girl.

The Dongting Lake never dries up for thousands of years.

Maybe there really is a Dragon Palace there.

However, it seemed inappropriate to speak now, so he just hid his curiosity in his heart and planned to ask Manager Chen privately when no one was around.

After all, he was still thinking about hunting dragons.

It’s better without Dragon Palace.

If I really want to find it, I have to hunt a dragon to taste the saltiness.

They all say it’s dragon meat from heaven.

The foreigner said it several times, and he was so greedy.

"Come on, young shopkeeper, and everyone else, please feel free to do as you please."

"The temple is a bit messy. I am just a simple man and I am too lazy to clean it up. Please don't blame me."

Uncle Jiu asked everyone to sit down.

He went to boil water and make tea.

Before he landed on the island, the Dongting Temple was occupied by the Nine-Headed Dragon. Those pirates didn't care about whether it was clean or not. They thought it was good enough to avoid the gods.

The group didn't care about this.

They are all gangsters who rob tombs and look for dragons.

We have become accustomed to spending the night in ancient temples, charity cemeteries, and mass graves. It is considered good enough to have a roof over our heads.

A few people found a place to sit down randomly.

Listen to Uncle Jiu talking about what happened on the mountain.

Hua Ling and Hong Girl were obviously more interested in the rumors about Liu Yi and the Dragon Girl. The two girls strolled around and stood in front of the Liu Yi monument for a long time.

His eyes were full of longing.

Two pairs of beautiful eyes sparkling with light.

But seeing that person sitting as steady as a mountain, she couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment in her eyes as she looked at his back.

Now, as many brothers in the village on the mountain as possible, anyone who is not blind can see what they are thinking.

But Chen Yulou never expressed anything.

They are girls and it is not easy for them to take the initiative.

They actually understood the shopkeeper's thoughts and ambitions. He wanted to live forever, but the road to cultivation was long, and they didn't want to make things difficult for him.

I just visited the secluded place of Lu Dongbin and his wife in Mount Zhongnan.

Here again I saw the rumor of Liu Yi and the Dragon Girl's hundred-year love.

After all, there are still some fantasies in my heart.

By the time the tea was ready, amidst Uncle Jiu's chattering, there was some noise coming from the backyard. The two looked at each other, unable to hold back any longer, and immediately rushed to the backyard with anticipation on their faces.

How can those pirates and gangsters be as interesting as feeding stags?

"Uncle Jiu, besides Dongting Temple and Erfei Temple, are there any other ancient Taoist temples on this island?"

Chen Yulou picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked.

"Yes, there is, but it has collapsed a long time ago, and only a few ruins are left."

To know.

There were originally many scenic spots and historical sites on Junshan Island.

There has always been a saying about five wells, four terraces, thirty-six pavilions and forty-eight temples.

It is a pity that there were constant chaos on Dongting Lake, constant disasters caused by bandits, and years of war. Only the Dongting Temple like the one we see now is relatively intact. The other ancient temples have long been buried in the mountains and forests, and only a few bricks and broken tiles can be found.

Listen to him.

Everyone in the group couldn't help but frown.

Logically speaking, Junshan Island is the eleventh blessed place in the world. Even if it is not as good as Mount Zhongnan with its continuous ancient temples and rows of temples on the mountain, it is at least not inferior to Mount Kuanglu.

But from the current point of view.

Junshan Island may be more dilapidated than imagined.

"Then is there any suitable place for cultivation...in seclusion?"

"Hidden?"

Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment, "The Shooting Dragon Platform on the top of the mountain, the Lake Viewing Pavilion, the Autumn Moon Bridge, as well as the Incense Burner Mountain and the Tongxin Lake are all extremely quiet."

"Xianglu Mountain and Tongxin Lake are the mountains behind where people hunt deer in the morning."

"This……"

The eyes of the crowd, who had originally looked a little depressed, suddenly brightened up.

Having seen the Xuande Cave Heaven in Taiyi Mountain and the Nine Chambers Heaven of Baoxian in Qingcheng Mountain, how could the group of people not understand that the more quiet and secluded a place is and the more no one cares about it, the more likely it is to contain mysteries.

Plus, elk showed up here.

That place might be the blessed land!

The same was true for Chen Yulou, and that was why he asked.

I didn't even feel like sitting down and drinking tea.

"Uncle Jiu, can you take us over there to have a look?"

"Ah... Young Shopkeeper, there's no need to be so anxious. The guys are already lighting the fire and cooking. Calculating the time, we'll be ready for dinner in about a quarter of an hour."

Uncle Jiu was stunned.

In my impression, the young manager was a very steady person, but how come he seemed like a different person in the past six months?

"It's still early."

"Don't be in a hurry to eat."

"Besides, Uncle Jiu, don't you want to know why I must take over this island in the middle of the lake?"

Chen Yulou put down the teacup and smiled faintly at him.

thump—

A short sentence.

He instantly caught Uncle Jiu's thoughts.

In the past six months, he had indeed thought about it many times and had also asked Uncle Yu about it privately, but there was still no definite answer.

Every time he just said it was the order from the young manager.

He suspected that it was to expand business dealings.

But now judging from what he said, it seems that he has other intentions?

"That's fine. Anyway, the back mountain is not far away. It only takes half an hour to go there."

"To be honest, Laojiu, I also want to go and see where the stag is hiding."
