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

Chen Yulou's voice was not loud.

But every word and sentence seems to contain the great truth, which makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

The world has changed dramatically, the sun and the moon have rotated, the ancients have lived through the years, and time has passed.

Those who eat qi will live forever, and those who become immortals will live as long as the sky.

If you don't take the final step, when you look back a hundred years later, no matter how talented you are, how rich you are, how beautiful you are, or how kind you are to others, you will ultimately be nothing but a pile of dry bones in this world.

Everyone present, except Uncle Nine.

They have all embarked on the path of cultivation.

I have a particularly deep understanding of his words.

It was like a heavy hammer hitting a drum, my heart trembling under my chest and my ears buzzing.

only……

Who in this world doesn’t want to become an immortal?

Even ants try to survive, let alone mayflies who live towards death.

If it were really that simple, we should still be under the rule of Emperor Qin, with the country unified. How could there be the turn of the Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties?

From ancient times to the present, how many people have taken mercury, eaten air, swallowed gold and drank dew, and even abandoned their wives and children, meditated all day long, built huts and avoided the world, all in the hope of achieving immortality, with the dream of becoming an immortal.

But dreams are like yellow millet, ultimately just a bubble that will shatter at the slightest touch.

How many people can truly break free from the shackles, break the fetters, and see eternal life?

There have been many rumors about immortals throughout the ages.

But... so far they have never seen one in person.

Especially in the Dharma Ending Age, the Tao is not obvious, monsters are rampant, evil spirits are rampant, and there are very few people practicing Taoism. It is even more difficult to cultivate into a Yang God or to achieve the state of refining the void and merging with the Tao.

I saw that everyone in the cave had a solemn look on their faces.

Chen Yulou also sighed secretly.

This is said to them, but isn't it also said to myself?

Although Qingmu Changsheng Gong is an immortal method that leads directly to the path of immortality, the fact that it has been as easy as drinking water to break through the realm over the past year seems to be proving all of this.

But only he who is truly in it knows that the whole journey is like walking on thin ice.

They only saw him enter a small realm every three days and a large realm every five days.

But who knows, in the hundreds of days and nights, he never dared to relax at all?

Morning sun and evening glow, food and Qi guidance.

The most important thing is that the method he practiced is definitely the first of its kind since ancient times, and there is not even a reference to it.

He can only rely on himself to explore.

The Xuan Dao Qi-transforming foundation-building skills practiced by Queqiao Shao and others have been passed down in an orderly manner from generation to generation, from Lao Tzu and Wen Shi Zhenren to Huolong Taoist and Qingchi Taoist.

Before the trip to the Western Regions, I was still worried that the remaining fragments would be difficult to repair.

But after going to Mount Zhongnan and finding the Taixuan Sutra, his Xuandao Qigong foundation-building skills were completely completed and he no longer had to worry.

Just a new practice.

Accumulate but gain little.

Sooner or later, you will be able to condense the elixir and transform into an infant.

"Kunlun, come and give me a hand."

"Since we are here, it would be bad to just watch our predecessor's remains exposed to the wind and rain."

He exhaled.

Chen Yulou took off his gown and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Kunlun nodded, without any hesitation, took out the halberd behind him and handed it to the old foreigner. With a serious expression, he strode forward and walked in front of him.

Spread the shirt on the ground.

The two men, one in front and one behind, carefully moved the bones over.

Even after sitting in meditation for many years.

Still by the Liquan, the cave was filled with thick moisture and dampness, but the bones had not fallen apart.

The most amazing thing is.

There is not a speck of dust on the jade bones.

At this moment, he still looks the same as he did when he was alive.

Sit cross-legged on the ground with your hands crossed and placed horizontally outside your dantian.

Double front view.

Looks indifferent.

It was as if he had already foreseen life and death before meditating, but he did not feel the slightest fear or panic, only a calmness as peaceful as an ancient well.

Seeing this, even Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel respect.

There are countless people in the world who pursue immortality.

Mostly because of the fear of death.

But this senior in front of me was able to face life and death so calmly. How many people can do that?

Put the bones away bit by bit.

They wrapped it up from top to bottom with clothes to make sure it would not be exposed to wind and rain, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"The shopkeeper..."

Just as he was about to get up, Kunlun seemed to see something and suddenly reached out and grabbed the ground.

"what?"

"look."

Kunlun spread out his palms.

It turned out to be a jade plate. It was not a good material. The water quality was muddy and there was even a tiny crack on the surface.

But because he followed the Taoist.

Use the Qi to warm the body.

The jade plaque is transparent and lustrous, and under the light, it reflects a beautiful light.

"This is……"

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and subconsciously took it in his hand.

I moved closer to the lantern and took a closer look.

There is a small hole on the top of the jade pendant, and there are a few faint marks from being tied, which should have been used to wear it with a rope. However, hundreds of years have passed, and only the jade is left, while the rope has long since rotted and turned into soil.

Generally speaking, this kind of jade pendant is either hung around the waist or tied around the neck. It is called a pendant, meaning that a gentleman is like jade.

His fingers gently stroked the jade token.

The inscription is clearly visible.

"Meet... a fairy?"

There are two ancient seal characters engraved on the jade plate, which are clearly the words "Yuxian".

"Meet a fairy?"

"Is it the title of a senior?"

"This name sounds like a Taoist master. It should be a Taoist name, right?"

"The word 'Yuxian' is too big. Logically, a Taoist wouldn't take such a name. I think it's more like a kind of sustenance or a wish."

"I also think what Senior Brother said makes sense."

"By the way, does Taoism have a sect called Yuxian?"

Hear him mutter.

The people around couldn't help but look at each other, and then argued in low voices.

Chen Yulou did not get involved, but he had a vague guess in his mind that since the word "Meet the Immortal" appeared on the jade token he carried with him, it must not be groundless.

"Shopkeeper, what is the remains of the predecessor?"

Kunlun scratched his head. He didn't expect that a piece of jade token he picked up casually would cause such a sensation.

However, shouldn’t the most important thing right now be the remains?

"There's no rush for now."

"At least I asked the senior what he thought."

Although Kunlun only said half of the words, there was no way Chen Yulou could not understand what he meant.

After all, he had said that he couldn't bear to see his seniors exposed to the wind and rain.

But there is neither a coffin nor a coffin here. We cannot put the remains back into the coffin like Taoist Qingchi did at that time, nor can we send the remains back to the foot of Fangjia Mountain for burial like Senior Jin Suanpan did.

"it is good."

Kunlun nodded.

The others had no objection either.

Only Uncle Jiu, who was gathered in the crowd and looking around, was startled and felt a chill all over his body, as if someone blew a breath on the back of his head.

Have you asked your seniors what they think?

What do you mean?

This senior has turned into a pile of bones, how can you ask?

He opened his mouth, frowned, and glanced at Chen Yulou secretly. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to start.

He always felt like he hadn't seen her for half a year.

The young shopkeeper looked as if he had come across a stranger.

Talking in a mysterious way.

Before, at the lakeside, when Bai Lu spoke, I could smile awkwardly, thinking he was joking.

But right now...

Asking questions to a skeleton is terrifying.

Fortunately it was broad daylight, otherwise anyone would have been scared to death in the middle of the night.

"There are many hidden treasures in the cave outside."

"Go and see."

"Maybe we can find some clues."

With a clenched palm, Chen Yulou put away the jade token, and swept his eyes over the crowd and said calmly, "I have already seen all three caves."

The gourd mouth is where we live, and the place below is where we practice.

Only the second cave contains pills, herbs, ancient books, secret techniques and the like. If one wants to find out the identity of this senior, it would definitely be a good place to start from.

"Makes sense."

"Yes, to be able to cultivate to this level, it is definitely not something that a casual cultivator can do. It is very likely that he came from a Taoist sect. As long as there are written records, we will definitely be able to find traces."

"Let's go. It's still early, enough time to slowly search."

Hear this.

The group of people could no longer hold back, and immediately stood up and passed through the cave gate one after another. In a blink of an eye, only Uncle Jiu was left.

An invisible wind emerged from the sweet spring and gently brushed across his face.

For a moment, he felt his hair stand on end.

Even though he had been robbing tombs for many years and had seen countless dead bodies, when his eyes glanced at the white bones wrapped in a long gown on the ground, he felt an indescribable creepy feeling.

It seemed as if in the next second, it would raise its hand, lift the clothes on its head and start speaking.

Think of this.

Uncle Jiu couldn't help but shiver.

He didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly turned around and left.

By the time he caught up with the group, they had already started their treasure hunt.

Approaching the stone wall, Chen Yulou casually picked up a yellowed ancient book. Unfortunately, it was severely stained by moisture, and the pages were almost stuck together.

He reluctantly opened a page and read it carefully with the help of the lamp at hand.

The ink smudges, forming large clumps of ink.

But I can still vaguely make out a few words.

"That year, I crossed Dongting Lake and sailed in the vast marsh. The next day, I waited for an island. After wandering for half a lifetime, I finally found a place to live in seclusion."

"I don't know how many years I have been in the cave. I have been cultivating both my soul and my life, eating qi and swallowing talismans, but I still cannot find the true way."

"It is difficult to read through what the ancestors have passed down. What hope is there for immortality?"

Read every word in the book silently.

A scene seemed to emerge in Chen Yulou's mind.

A Taoist sat at the wooden table in the cave, with the help of a small lamp, he bent over the desk with a pen, and recorded his life memories bit by bit.

He has traveled around the world for many years.

I tried to find the secret of immortality, but I could never get it right.

Moreover, as we grow older, day after day, year after year, in the blink of an eye, we are already gray-haired.

Loneliness, solitude, and melancholy almost overwhelm me.

Just putting himself in the situation made him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

He subconsciously clenched the scroll in his hand. He wanted to turn over a few more pages and continue reading, only to find that the pages at the back had been completely soaked by moisture.

The ink characters are impossible to read.

"Brother Chen!"

"Quick, come and see, there are two volumes of secret Taoist techniques in here!"

When Chen Yulou wanted to continue trying.

Suddenly, the excited voice of Partridge Whistle was heard from behind.

In an instant.

It's not just him.

Yang Fang, Hua Ling, the old foreigner and a group of people also gathered around.

When I walked to the outside of Partridge Whistle, I saw him standing on the southeast side of the wall. In the hole in front of him was a stone box. It looked rough and had many marks left by carving knives.

It was clearly carved by the Taoist himself.

At this moment the stone box has been opened.

Partridge Whistle was holding a scroll of ancient scriptures in his hand, and there was another scroll hidden in the box.

Compared to the book he just found.

The two ancient scriptures were unexpectedly well preserved.

Not only is there no trace of moisture, but the writing on the pages is also clearly visible.

"Brother Chen, look."

Partridge Whistle did not waste any time and handed over the ancient book in his hand.

Received in hand.

Chen Yulou clasped his hands together.

Under the flickering firelight, five consecutive black characters appeared before my eyes.

"Dongxuan Gold and Jade Collection?!"

Chen Yulou lowered his voice and read out each word.

"really!"

Almost the moment that line of words came into his eyes, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The leader of Quanzhen Taoism and the Seven True Masters of the North.

Danyang is the real person of Baoyiwuwei!

Taoist Ma Yu from Danyang!

When he saw the words "Meet the Immortal" on the jade token before, he had some vague guesses. Now, after seeing this volume of Dongxuan Jinyu Collection written by Danyangzi himself, the last bit of doubt disappeared.

"Brother Dao, pick it up and have a look. Is the volume at the bottom the Divine Light Magnificent?"

Take a deep breath.

Chen Yulou suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice.

However, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, he couldn't stop the slight tremor in his words.

"it is good."

Noticed something strange about him.

Partridge Whistle did not dare to hesitate at all. He carefully took out the remaining ancient book from the stone box and looked at it carefully before the light.

“God…God is shining!”

"Really!"

When he saw the few black words on the book clearly, even though Partridge Whistle was mentally prepared, he still exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss, do you know the identity of that senior?"

"Golden Jade Collection, Divine Light Can, which sect's inheritance is this?"

The people around were afraid to even breathe, but now they could no longer hold back and started to ask.

"Quanzhen Daoism!"

"A disciple of the second generation leader, Master Ma Yu."

Turning around and looking at those pairs of eyes full of expectation, Chen Yulou had no intention of hiding anything.

"Wait...disciple?"

"Shopkeeper, isn't that Master Ma Yu?"

Hearing the words "Quanzhen Taoism", the group felt their blood boiling. Having been to Zhongnan and walked through Qingcheng, they already knew very well how many Taoist sects there were over the past two thousand years.

Quanzhen is one of the two largest sects of Taoism that has been spread throughout the world to this day.

An existence that is as famous as Zhengyi Dao.

The Quanzhen Sect cultivates the mind and nature internally and saves all living beings externally. It follows the path of cultivating the mind and nature, nourishing qi and refining the elixir. When one achieves both merit and practice and attains sainthood, this is called Quanzhen.

The Zhengyi Dao respects heaven and ancestors, saves the world and saves people, issues numerous documents, destroys temples, kills ghosts and humans, and purifies the universe.

in short.

Quanzhen practices inner alchemy and Zhengyi heavy talismans.

Under the two major schools, countless large and small sects have emerged over the thousands of years.

Although they don't know much about Master Ma Yu, since he is the second-generation leader of Quanzhen Taoism, he is definitely a god-like figure in the eyes of the world.

How could they not be shocked?

However, as he finished speaking, while everyone was still immersed in amazement, Kunlun, who had a pure and clear mind, suddenly discovered a loophole in his words.

"Legend has it that Master Ma Yu attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven in Youxian Palace, and was therefore given the title of Master Danyang Baoyi Wuwei by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty."

"This place is thousands of miles away from Wenshan. How could Master Ma Yu possibly pass away in this nameless cave?"

"so……"

Chen Yulou's eyes lit up and his voice became louder and louder.

He turned around and clasped his fists towards the depths of the cave behind him.

"There is only one possibility, that senior is a disciple of the Immortal Master, the Yuxian Sect."

"As for the name, we need to continue cleaning up the remains of our predecessors before we can find out."

A hammer is fixed.

Chen Yulou breathed out.

What echoed in my mind were the few sentences of the self-description I just read.

After wandering for half his life, he went into seclusion in a cave.

Unfortunately... there is no hope of immortality!
