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

Hear this.

The people around all had strange looks on their faces.

This is true for all white people.

Although this mausoleum genealogy was handed down from his ancestors, to him, it was almost like a heavenly book. After all, his father, Mr. Bai, was busy traveling around the country when he was young, and the time he spent at home could be counted on one hand.

Come back for the last time.

People are no longer able to do it.

Just call him into the room.

Before his death, he took out a book and a seal from his body and told him to keep them well, as they were left by their ancestors and were the foundation of the Bai family.

He has also read it over the years.

He wanted to be like Bai Yuhu now, walking around the streets, telling fortunes for people, so that he could at least have a way to make a living and support himself.

Unfortunately, the content is too obscure to understand.

Don’t even mention learning it.

It makes me dizzy just looking at it.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what are these three great books?"

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Bai Banla asked curiously.

"There are many theories about this, but the three great books mentioned in the tomb-robbing world are actually the Burial Scripture, the Dragon-Shaking Scripture, and the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art."

"Sixteen of these characters are also known as the most amazing book in the world."

Chen Yulou smiled and explained in a low voice.

In fact, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. People in the world only know these sixteen words. Who would have imagined that there are sixty-four words above these sixteen words.

Bai Banla's heart was shaken as he listened.

These were not something he had access to before.

I silently repeated what he said.

I was thinking that if I had the chance to meet the two brothers Lao Yangpi and Yang Erdan again in the future, I would have something to brag about instead of just squatting on the ground and listening to them chat.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

"Old doctor, come and apply medicine to Brother Bai."

He casually put down the ancient book in his hand, looked up at the old doctor standing beside him with his hands hanging down, and gave instructions.

The old doctor seemed a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.

I just took the shopkeeper's pulse.

Although he was a wandering doctor and not as good as the great doctors who practiced medicine in the clinic, he was still able to diagnose pulses and pathologies clearly. However, he had never seen a pulse as strange as the one of the shopkeeper.

Hidden but not revealed.

The ears are droopy and motionless.

But it is full of vitality.

It felt to him like a piece of green wood, waking up at the Waking of Insects and hibernating at the Beginning of Winter.

Just as he was doubting himself, he suddenly heard the shopkeeper's voice. The old doctor did not dare to hesitate. He took a deep breath and suppressed his wandering thoughts.

He nodded and agreed.

He picked up the medicine box beside him and opened it.

He had just checked Bai Banla's injuries, they were just superficial injuries, and he could just apply some ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Get out a towel.

Soak with hot water.

Then he motioned to Bai Banla to sit down and wiped the blood from his wound bit by bit.

Seeing this, Luo Laowai on the side became restless again, fearing that he would hear something from the old doctor about hidden injuries that were difficult to cure and that would damage the internal organs.

Fortunately.

The old doctor is extremely skillful.

It only took a few minutes to prepare the medicine for Bai Bala, and then he got a bottle of pills and asked him to go back and swallow them on time to nourish his qi and warm his blood.

"Thank you, old doctor."

"Excuse me."

Hearing that he was fine, Bai Banla was greatly relieved.

Your health is the foundation for your survival.

Besides, he was alone, with no one to take care of him, and he had only a few coins. If he got any old illness or internal injuries, that would be a real problem.

"Nothing."

"Just take good care of it for a few days and it will be fine."

The old doctor picked up the medicine box, then turned his hands to look at the table.

And this interruption.

Chen Yulou's expression had returned to calm, no longer showing the paleness he had just shown.

I originally thought that the Fa Qiu Seal was the most important thing.

After reading the tomb records, he realized how wrong he was.

The sixty-four hexagrams of the Zhoutian and the River Map and Luoshu are truly the creation of heaven and earth.

If you can read it thoroughly, perhaps you can see through everything in this world, life and death.

"Let's go back."

I saw his eyes fall on me.

Chen Yulou waved his hand and said, "Kidnapper, help me see it off."

Hua Maguai nodded immediately and walked out with the old doctor.

After the two figures disappeared outside the door, Chen Yulou turned his gaze to Bai Banla and pondered for a moment.

"Brother Bai, how about staying on the island for a while?"

Apart from anything else, he came all the way here from afar and gave me such a great gift. It was neither reasonable nor moral to ignore it.

"This...will it be too much trouble?"

Bai Banla said subconsciously.

Hearing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but wave his hands. As descendants of four sects, he and Yang Fang were almost two extremes.

That kid Yang Fang can't be driven away.

Bai Banla always thinks of others first.

"What's the trouble?"

"There's nothing else on the island. There are houses everywhere. I'll let the kidnapper take you there later. Pick a place you like and stay there as long as you want."

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

"However, there are only simple meals on the island, so you must be patient."

"No, it's okay, Shopkeeper Chen. I can eat anything. I'm not too particular."

Bai Banla waved his hands repeatedly.

He has been in the underworld for many years, and even if he can't have the most delicious food, having a hot meal is a luxury.

"That's fine."

"Oh, by the way, what are your plans for the future, Brother Bai?"

"In the future?"

Bai Banla was stunned for a moment. He was used to walking alone. To be honest, it seemed that he didn't even have a close friend.

So many years have passed, and I am still alone, with the sky as my bed and the ground as my blanket.

But who doesn’t want a place to stay?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I should continue to wander around."

"Brother Bai, if you have nowhere to go, why not stay here? You can go to Chenjiazhuang, Junshan Island, Changsheng Mountain, and join the tomb-robbing business, or do some legitimate business."

Chen Yulou saw through his thoughts at once and patted him on the shoulder.

thump—

Bai Banla was instantly moved.

He had little interest in Changsheng Mountain. He had sworn since he was a child that he would not get into the tomb-robbing business. Especially when he saw his father lying on the bed, his life hanging by a thread, his face pale and covered in blood, he became more determined to do so.

But he has asked around these days.

The Chen family has accumulated a lot of wealth over three generations and has a very profound foundation.

Some people even privately called him Chen Bancheng, meaning that the three rivers and four lakes, openly or secretly, almost all belonged to his Chen family.

If I could be a buddy.

Learn a skill.

Have the ability to make a living.

That's good enough for him.

"Then...thank you, Shopkeeper Chen."

Resisting the urge to refuse subconsciously, Bai Banla finally agreed this time.

"Haha, OK, Brother Bai, do you want to sit down and have some tea first, or let the kidnapper show you around, or go back and rest?"

"It's all right."

Bai Banla didn't know how to answer and spoke ambiguously.

Chen Yulou made the decision for him directly.

Just then the cripple who had escorted the old doctor back came back.

After a simple instruction, Hua Maguai immediately obeyed, took the bag beside him, and led him out of the hall with a smile.

Wait for the two to leave.

In a blink of an eye, only he, Luo Laowai and Old Uncle Jiu who was helping to pour tea and water were left in the hall.

Although he didn't speak.

But Luo Laowai immediately noticed that the atmosphere around him became solemn.

"Master Luo, why are you here today?"

Chen Yulou casually pressed the Fa Qiu seal on the ancient book and pushed it to the corner of the table.

He picked up the teacup.

He blew away the foam and took a sip slowly.

Luo Laowai secretly swallowed his saliva and forced a smile on his face, "I heard that Manager Chen, you came to the island, so I came to see you."

Having said that, he secretly glanced at Chen Yulou.

Seeing his expressionless face, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Luo Laowai hurriedly tried to make up for it.

"Of course, the most important thing is to report the situation of Chishan Island to Manager Chen."

"Tell me."

Chen Yulou nodded.

It seems that there is finally some interest.

When I was crossing the lake by boat yesterday, I did hear a few words from the boat captain, but they were just hearsay after all and cannot be taken seriously. As for what the waiters on the island and Uncle Jiu said, they can serve as corroboration.

"Yes."

Luo Laowai was shocked.

Don't hesitate.

From the night attack on the water ghosts in the waves to the subsequent hunting and killing of the bandits on the lake, in just three days, the entire Chishan Island was taken into his possession.

This kind of record is indeed something to be proud of.

After all, Langlishuigui is also a long-time bandit on Dongting Lake. He has occupied Chishan Island for more than ten years and has countless bandits under his command. He has robbed countless ships and boats traveling from north to south over the years.

In the entire lake, your strength can definitely be ranked among the top three.

Apart from the Nine-headed Dragon and Black Flood Dragon Seven, it's him.

Moreover, this was done even after Junshan Island had been taken, which was a premise of fear, but he was still able to act so swiftly and decisively. No wonder this guy came to claim credit so early in the morning.

It's just that Bai Banla's matter interrupted the discussion.

Now he is obviously not as arrogant as when he came last time, but is much more cautious.

"As expected of Luo Shuai."

"The art of war, the thirty-six strategies, all of which need to be mastered thoroughly."

Listening to him talk about everything in detail, even Chen Yulou couldn't help but nod secretly.

To be honest, in today's chaotic world with warlords fighting each other and all kinds of people, anyone with a little ambition would like to take this opportunity to move up.

Not to mention the fight for the Central Plains.

It would be nice to be a king of patrons, a governor-general, or a provincial governor.

It’s just that although these people are called warlords, they are actually just a bunch of bandits. They are good at bullying men and women, but they are complete amateurs when it comes to fighting.

Although Luo Laowai is a selfish, greedy and lustful person.

But it has to be said.

If you compare yourself with others, you will die. If you compare goods with others, you will throw them away. If you pick a general among the short people, he can still be considered to be quite good-looking.

At least, from what he said just now, he talked about the deployment of troops and the deployment of generals, one thing after another, and his words were very logical.

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Chen is praising me, Old Luo, to death."

"It's because the boss taught me well. Otherwise, with my three tricks and my inability to read a single word, how could I have done it?"

Hear this.

Luo Laowai could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

But he was humble in words and put all the credit on him.

"Coach Luo is being modest."

"In Changshengshan, we have always rewarded those who have made contributions and punished those who have committed crimes. If you do well, you are good, if you don't, you are not good. How can there be merit in teaching or not teaching?"

Chen Yulou waved his hand and said calmly.

Luo Laowai is a man who has been too deeply influenced by the underworld. He is scheming but not cunning enough. He has a lot of clever tricks, but his big tricks are average.

To say this is nothing more than to flatter him.

only.

At his current level, why would he care about these things?

It's not really hitting the thighs, but it's still uncomfortable. It's too greasy, which is not a good thing.

"Yes, yes, what Chen Baotou said is right."

Hearing the hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, Luo Laowai suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead.

A few years ago, even if Chen Baotou didn't like the flattery and adulation, he wouldn't show it on the surface. But it's different now.

He walked through the busy streets with wine in his hand and a sword on his back, who knew he was a true immortal?

Luo Laowai still can't figure out how Chen Baotou became a great immortal in just half a year.

A scene on the lake that day.

Flying into the sky, the sword energy is like a waterfall.

He was awakened from his sleep countless times in the middle of the night.

When something beyond one's own cognition truly appears before one's eyes, fear is secondary, and what comes next is a deep sense of helplessness.

In the storyteller's mouth, there are all kinds of demons and ghosts, gods and Buddhas everywhere, wild foxes practicing Zen, mountain lions attaining enlightenment, and immortals traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. Isn't this fucking fabrication?

Who would have thought that there really are immortals, demons and ghosts in this world.

"Don't say that."

Looking at Luo Laowai, who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, his breathing disordered, and cold sweat almost soaking his back.

Chen Yulou shook his head.

Just a random sentence can bring him such great pressure.

This was unexpected.

"Next, Coach Luo knows what to do, right?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this.

Luo Laowai’s mind immediately started working rapidly.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke cautiously.

"Manager Chen, this is what I, Old Luo, think for now. Now that we have taken over Chishan Island and Junshan Island, we can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor."

“Waterways on the lake are big business.”

"It's just that no one has stepped forward to take the lead over the years."

"Now that you, Manager Chen, are in charge, according to my idea, we must come up with a set of rules as soon as possible. Shipping, canal gangs, ferrying, and fishing, should pay taxes or cents."

At this point, Luo Laowai let out a sigh, "Of course, these are just my random thoughts. In the end, I still have to ask you, Shopkeeper Chen, to make the final decision."

On that day in Guanyun Tower.

This is what Shopkeeper Chen explained to him.

After all, he has a group of people to support, and we can't let him go into the water to fish and catch shrimps, right?

"Stamp duty, there is no rush for now."

Seeing that he reacted so quickly, Chen Yulou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Selling your life for money is nothing, it has always been like this.

Just like Luo Laowai said, with the 800-li Dongting Lake and the confluence of three rivers, restarting water transportation is indeed a big business.

But he was too impatient.

"The problem of bandits on the lake has not been completely solved. Fishermen and boatmen on the lake don't dare to travel freely. If you start thinking about collecting taxes and taking money now, what's the difference between you and the water ghosts and nine-headed dragons in the waves?"

"Too."

Luo Laowai chuckled.

But to be honest, it was hard for him to understand. He himself was a bandit, and he had finally conquered Chishan Island. If he didn't make money quickly, would he be the boss for those people on the lake?

However, since it was Manager Chen who said so, he did not dare to refute and could only agree silently.

"Next time."

"General Luo, you can kill all the bandits on the lake. The gold and silver you get can be used as military supplies and fodder."

How could Chen Yulou not understand his thoughts.

Continue to throw out a sentence slowly.

For an instant.

Luo Laowai felt his heart beating like a drum and his breathing became rapid.

Most of the bandits on the lake have been rampant for several years, or even more than ten years. They have hidden gold and silver in their lairs, which are all the fat and blood of the people. If we could squeeze them out, I wonder how much we can get.

"But there is one thing..."

Don't wait for him to speak.

Chen Yulou's tone suddenly turned cold.

It was like a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and the smile on Luo Laowai's face disappeared instantly.

"The bandits can be killed, but if they kill innocent people and take credit for it, and oppress the people, I'm sure Commander Luo should know Chen's methods."

"Of course, of course."

Although Luo Laowai didn't look up.

But he could still sense a sharp gaze passing over him, making him feel as if he was being stabbed in the back.

He nodded repeatedly.

"Manager Chen, don't worry. Leave this matter to Lao Luo. In a month... no, at most half a month, Lao Luo guarantees that the rivers and seas will be peaceful and there will be no more bandits causing trouble."

Luo Laowai racked his brains and finally came up with a few words, and almost patted his chest to make the promise.

"okay."

"During this period of time, I will be in seclusion on the island. No one is allowed to disturb me."

"Also... I hope to hear good news from Coach Luo when I get out of quarantine!"
