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

"Big... senior brother?"

Bai Ze opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief on his face.

The owner had just verified its guess with his own mouth.

This colorful bird.

He is truly the descendant of the legendary phoenix.

No wonder just by falling from the top of the clouds, the celestial phenomena changed drastically, all things were dormant, the chirping of insects and birds disappeared in an instant, as if we had suddenly gone back to the harsh winter from mid-spring.

And the suppressive force comes from blood.

It even made it breathless.

I am just a wild deer in the mountains. What qualifications do I have to be called its junior brother?

"Of course it's Big Brother."

Chen Yulou shrugged, "Luo Fu entered first, followed by Yuan Hong, but..."

Having said that, he smiled and glanced at Bai Ze again.

"Before you, there was another senior brother."

"So, you can only be considered as a junior brother."

"Then, who is the third senior brother?"

Bai Ze already felt that his brain was a little confused and his heart was a mess. He silently recalled the many figures he had seen today.

But except for the old ape.

It seemed that there were no more traces of other animals in the mountains, birds in the sky, or fish in the water.

Could it be a transformation?

"Don't think about it. It's not here now. Wait a few years, and if you have made progress in your cultivation, you might have the chance to witness it transforming into a dragon from water."

It seems to be able to see through its thoughts.

Seeing Bai Ze lowering his head and thinking about something, Chen Yulou couldn't help but wave his hand.

"Oh ah?!"

The master revealed his thoughts.

Bai Ze couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly came to his senses the next moment.

Walk on water and turn into a dragon!!

Even though it has been isolated from the world for a long time, according to ancient legends, the dragons and phoenixes in heaven and earth still know about it.

It is said that people of the dragon genus spend their entire lives trying to transform into dragons.

Carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, giant dragons and pythons swimming across the river, as well as turtles, crocodiles, tortoises, dragons, horses and pheasants can all transform into dragons.

However, the only difference is that due to different bloodlines, the dragons they transform into are also different.

A Jiao that walks into the sea becomes a true dragon, a turtle that cannot shed its shell becomes a tortoise dragon, a snake becomes a candle dragon, a pheasant becomes a mirage dragon, and a pig becomes a pig dragon.

They all seem to be dragons.

But the difference between a real dragon and a pig dragon is huge.

now……

When the master mentioned the third senior brother, he actually mentioned walking on water and turning into a dragon.

So, that senior brother whom I have never met is at least a walking dragon or a walking python?

"No need."

"You guessed correctly. Your third senior brother is an old dragon who has practiced for a thousand years. In ten years at most, he will be able to walk on water and into the sea. It is not impossible for him to transform into a dragon by then."

There are no outsiders at the moment.

Chen Yulou had no intention of hiding anything and smiled faintly with his hands behind his back.

"A thousand-year-old dragon?!"

Hearing these words, Bai Ze felt as if there was thunder rumbling deep in his mind.

The life span of a deer is no more than a dozen years.

Even though this species is blessed with unique natural talents and is naturally intelligent, they can only live for thirty or forty years at most.

As far as it could remember, the ancestor with the longest lifespan lived for nearly fifty years, which was already considered a legend. It was so much so that it had heard about this from its elders since it was a child.

After entering Junshan Island.

One must be on guard against wild beasts in the mountains and also worry about being hunted by humans.

Live cautiously.

Twenty years is rare.

Now, it actually heard that there was a thousand-year-old dragon. This was really... unbelievable.

"What do you think."

Seeing its dumbfounded look, Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile.

"Have you ever met your second brother before?"

"I've seen it."

Bai Ze nodded.

The image of a white ape appeared in my mind.

To be honest, if it hadn't sensed that its aura was wrong, it would even have mistaken it for a human.

He wore a long gown and a hood, walked with his body bowed, and was able to speak.

There is almost no difference from humans.

At most, he is a little hunchbacked and a little older.

As expected of mankind's closest primate, it doesn't even need to transform.

"So how big do you think the white ape is?"

Sensing the flash of envy in the depths of its eyes, Chen Yulou did not point it out, but just asked softly.

Bai Ze was stunned.

After careful thought, I came up with an answer.

"He should be... around 30 years old?"

thirty?

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows, "You underestimate it too much. The white ape has lived for nearly sixty years."

Before they entered Pingshan.

The white ape is notorious in that deep mountain area.

Passing merchants and local cave dwellers were so afraid and resentful of it that whether they were going into the mountains to cut wood, collect herbs, or transport goods, they would rather take a detour of dozens of miles than be harassed by that gang of monkeys.

Losing goods is a small matter.

What I’m afraid of is getting hurt or even losing my life.

Once they reach the top of Pingshan Mountain, the white ape will be able to form a three-way confrontation with the mountain scorpion and the giant python deep in the mountains.

That is, after practicing Taoism with him.

The evil corpse aura was refined bit by bit.

otherwise……

Do you really think it is a good thing?

If someone like Bai Ze were placed in Pingshan, he would have been eaten up long ago.

In the eyes of those ferocious beasts, monsters and evil spirits, it is simply a walking precious medicine.

sixty!!

Hear this number.

Bai Ze's face was full of disbelief.

That old ancestor only lived for about fifty years, but the white ape looked vigorous and energetic, and he was actually around sixty years old. This was simply unimaginable.

"Wait until you start practicing."

"Same thing."

Chen Yulou patted its head.

The stag is a descendant of the four-legged beast.

In terms of bloodline, he can easily suppress the white ape.

Decades are just a blink of an eye.

"Then... Master, when can I learn to read and write?"

Hear this promise.

The anticipation in Bai Ze's eyes grew stronger.

"Just these two days."

It is now spiritual and has awakened its intelligence. As long as someone takes it on a journey, according to the experience of Kunlun and the white ape, it will be able to learn the ropes in a few months at most.

It is the person who transmits the text.

They are all busy practicing, and now it is a rare opportunity to come to this blessed place.

As for Zhou Mingyue’s words.

His identity as a Yin-Yang master is there.

The unique status of Junshan Island is self-evident.

The guys who were sent to attack the island and defend the mountain were carefully selected, because they were worried that outsiders would sneak in and leak out the details of Junshan Island's practice.

Therefore, it is acceptable for Zhou Mingyue to teach Kunlun and the white ape in Zhuangzi.

But it is not possible to transfer him from Chenjiazhuang to here.

The remaining candidates.

You can only choose from the guys in the mountain.

I'll ask Uncle Jiu later.

Having made up his mind, Chen Yulou stopped dwelling on it and said, "Haven't you been thinking about coming to Chashan Island for a long time?"

"Now the new buds are sprouting, and they are the freshest."

"Don't you want to try it?"

Bai Ze, who had originally been looking forward to studying and learning to read, couldn't help himself when he heard this.

He swallowed secretly.

His eyes swept across the large area of ​​ancient tea trees.

The rich aroma almost fills your nose.

How could I hold back?

"Then... Master, I'm going."

Seeing its impatient look, Chen Yulou waved his hand.

After getting the consent, Bai Ze did not hesitate any longer. He jumped up and dived into the tea garden lightly.

Just as the owner said, it is mid-spring now, after Qingming Festival, and it is the time when new buds and leaves burst out.

To know.

This tea island has been famous since the Tang Dynasty. Silver Needle Tea is ranked as a divine product. In the Qing Dynasty, it was even regarded as a tribute tea, with 18 kilograms of it offered as tribute every year.

There is even a special tea and tobacco department.

Every year during the Qingming and Grain Rain seasons, people go to the island to pick tea, and then roast it using ancient methods. Among them, the tip tea is tribute, commonly known as Gongjian, and the rong tea is commercial, and it is sold all over the world.

But only those who are extremely wealthy.

Only then will you have a chance to taste it.

Since the turbulent times of the Republic of China, Junshan Island has experienced banditry and war, and Chashan Island has been deserted, and the craftsmen who made Junshan Silver Needle have gradually lost their tradition.

A few years ago, Black Flood Dragon Seven had also set his sights on Chashan Island.

Thinking of picking tea to exchange for money.

It’s a pity that after searching all over the lake, I couldn’t find a master craftsman who could roast tea.

In the end, this matter had to be dropped.

But even so.

It has been more than ten years since Bai Ze was born, and this is the first time he has come here.

Walking among the vast ancient tea trees.

For a moment, it felt like a dream and it was unreal.

The green leaves are within reach, fresh and juicy. When you take a bite, the unique fragrance of the silver needle grass leaves spreads among the taste buds, making every inch of its body seem to be cheering.

"Luo Fu, let's go and take a look too."

Saw this scene from a distance.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile.

After the Grain Rain, the young buds will begin to age, and it would be a waste to just leave them there.

If you really want to taste Junshan Yinzhen, you have to wait until at least next year. With the strength of the Chen family, it should not be difficult to find the group of master craftsmen who roasted tea here back then.

But now.

The only benefit will be to Bai Ze.

Taking Luofu, the man and the demon, they strolled among the tea mountain islands. After a while, they had climbed to the top of the cliff. Large ancient pines stood among the rocks. The breeze from the distant lake blew past their faces. They felt indescribably relaxed and casual.

“There is also an ancient temple.”

After walking along the mountain top for a while, Chen Yulou's eyes suddenly lit up.

Not far ahead, I saw an ancient Taoist temple-style building built against the mountain and nestled among the dense forest.

Not big.

There is only one front hall.

It looks like it has been there for quite a few years.

When I asked Uncle Jiu about the ancient temple on the mountain before, he didn't seem to mention this place.

Waiting for him to push the door open with anticipation.

Finally I understood the reason.

It is indeed an ancient temple, but it has collapsed and is in a terrible state. The door hinges have rotted away, and a creaking sound can be heard when a little force is applied.

And suddenly there was the sound of the door being pushed open.

It also scared the unknown small animals, rats and insects in the temple, and for a moment, rustling noises were heard continuously.

A strong smell of decay and mildew filled my nose.

There was an indescribable gloom in the air.

"Rove."

Chen Yulou frowned slightly, covered his mouth and nose, and took a half step back.

At the same time, he glanced at his left shoulder and said softly.

Understand what the master means.

Luofu did not waste any time and spread his wings and flapped them gently.

In an instant.

A gust of wind mixed with a strong fire energy swept out.

Pass through every part of the ancient temple.

Smoke and dust suddenly rolled up.

This lasted for several minutes.

Wait for the dust to settle.

When he stepped over the threshold again, the ground was spotless, and the gloomy smell of rot and mold was gone.

"well done."

Gently stroked Luofu's head.

As long as there is even a trace of its scent left, the snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain will no longer dare to set foot in the ancient temple.

Enter with your hands behind your back.

The temple was completely empty, and the clay statue on the shrine had collapsed, leaving only half of its body. However, one could still vaguely make out that the statue was dedicated to a dragon king or something like that.

In addition, all the cushions and incense burners disappeared.

I don’t know if it rotted or was taken away by someone.

Chen Yulou didn't care about this and just walked around the main hall and the two side rooms on the left and right.

have to say.

Although this ancient temple is a bit dilapidated and abandoned, it is sufficient for practicing meditation and sheltering from wind and rain.

Just needs some simple repairs.

He was walking around excitedly, but Luofu didn't have much patience. He jumped up, spread his wings, and in the blink of an eye, he flew out from the hole in the beam above his head.

It didn't go far though.

I just found a crack cave on the cliff.

Not much space.

But it's just enough to stay.

There are a lot of fallen leaves, branches, feathers and other things inside. It is estimated that they were the hiding places of water birds on the island before, but they have been abandoned and there is no trace of them left.

Luofu emphasizes simplicity and efficiency in everything it does.

He opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of phoenix fire.

All I saw was a burst of fire sweeping past.

In an instant.

All the debris in the cave was burned.

Even the moisture was dispelled.

Only a clean and refreshing stone cave is left.

Seeing this, Luofu nodded with satisfaction. Unlike the old ape, which could rest and sleep anywhere, it had extremely high requirements for its residence.

I was in Chenjiazhuang before.

The entire backyard is its private land, and it lives on that towering ancient tree.

When it arrived at Changsheng Mountain, it was willing to sleep only at the highest point on the mountain.

now……

This stone cave is a bit small, but its location is excellent. You can see the Dongting Lake while lying down, and overlook the entire Junshan Tea Island. Every move is within its sight.

Moreover, judging from what the owner said, we will probably have to spend the next few months on the island.

Of course it has to find a good place to sleep.

Sensed the movement in the cave on the cliff.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

The Phoenix species has an arrogant character.

Nothing more than that.

Without paying much attention, after walking around the ancient temple, Chen Yulou pushed the door open and left, then walked around the ancient temple again.

Not long after.

Finally stopped.

Below the cliff, where it meets the dense forest, is a shady spot.

The gurgling water flows down the cliff.

It fell on the large bluestone below, and after thousands of years, it actually formed a stone channel. The spring water flowed back and forth in it, and an unknown duckweed floated in the channel.

It has a unique charm.

Chen Yulou stopped and looked for a moment.

Only then did he turn his gaze to the ground beneath the bluestone.

Because the spring water never dries up all year round, the soil transformed from sand and gravel appears bluish-black in color.

"This is a perfect place to grow Qinglei Bamboo."

Green Thunder Bamboo prefers shade the most, which is why it can survive for hundreds of years in places like ancient tombs where there is no sunlight, relying solely on the energy of the earth veins.

From morning to night, even in the hottest summer, the sunlight is blocked by the cliffs and dense forests.

It's simply a rare place in the world.

The more I looked at Chen Yulou, the happier I became.

No hesitation either.

His mind moved.

The next moment, the Green Thunder Bamboo appeared in the palm of his hand from the Qi Hai Cave Heaven.

With a wave of his hand, a deep pit appeared on the ground. He bent down and carefully planted the green thunder bamboo into it.

Simultaneously.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the air. In an instant, the spiritual energy floating on the Tea Mountain Island gathered like wind and clouds. Under his urging, it condensed into a small piece of spiritual rain, dripping down.

slam-la-

Nourished by the spiritual rain, the jade-green bamboo leaves seemed to come alive in an instant, rustling open and swallowing the spiritual liquid in big gulps.

Changes here.

There was quite a bit of movement.

Luofu, who was already lying in the cave, was startled and subconsciously raised his eyebrows and looked down.

Sensing the power of thunder and fire in that bamboo.

Even so, there was a hint of amazement in those lazy eyes.

"how?"

As if he had noticed Luofu breaking through silently, Chen Yulou clapped his hands and asked with a smile.

"It is said that phoenixes roost in sycamore trees. Master, is this the phoenix palace you planted for me?"
