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

"Woo——"

Amidst a dull flute sound.

The big ship left the ferry, broke through the fog covering Dongting Lake, and headed west.

I stayed on Junshan Island for too long.

Everyone seemed to be in a mood to let the news go.

No one returned to the cabin below, but leaned over the side of the boat, feeling the breeze on the lake, the chasing water birds, the leaping fish, and the islands gradually disappearing into the distance and covered by clouds.

I just felt an indescribable clarity throughout my body.

The same is true for Chen Yulou.

Although I have rowed alone on the lake many times during this period, the two experiences are completely different.

The breeze is blowing and the sun is shining.

Travel with friends.

It was not until the big ship reached Sanjiangkou that he withdrew his gaze from the fishing boats in the distance. He looked back and unknowingly, the excitement on everyone's faces had disappeared and they all went back to rest.

"Yuan Hong, wait a minute."

Seeing that the white ape was about to get up and prepare to go back to meditate and practice, Chen Yulou called out to it to stop.

"Owner?"

Yuan Hong was confused.

Some people don't understand why they were left alone.

"Where's that long stick you carry with you?"

It was not until the people around had left that Chen Yulou smiled gently and waved his hand, indicating that it did not need to be so nervous.

"Yes, I am."

Just such a short time.

Yuan Hong even thought about everything he had done during this period of time.

I was afraid of making a mistake accidentally.

Unexpectedly, the owner only asked about the long stick.

He subconsciously took off the black tube on his back, shook it lightly, and an iron rod appeared in his hand.

Although it is covered with cracks and scars, it can be seen that it is still well preserved, wiped spotlessly clean, and even a cloth bag is specially sewn to store it.

“It’s been a long time.”

"Yes, it's been almost two years. It was when I was on my way to southern Yunnan and passed through Amizhou..."

Yuan Hong nodded subconsciously.

Once I opened my mouth I couldn't stop talking.

When it reacted, it realized that it had said too much, so it stopped and smiled awkwardly.

"It's rare to remember it so clearly."

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled, not caring. The more he did so, the more it showed how much he valued the long stick.

"But now it doesn't match you very well."

"Lord...Master."

Yuan Hong was stunned.

It regards the long stick as its life, one reason is that it is its first weapon, and most importantly, it fits it very well.

So much so that the shop was filled with weapons that day.

But it took a fancy to the long stick at first sight.

Even it itself doesn't understand it, maybe it's just a mysterious feeling.

"Don't panic, I don't mean any harm. You are now a great mandrill demon after all. How can such a weapon be in line with your status? Besides, it can't bring out your strength."

Chen Yulou smiled faintly.

Then, in Yuan Hong's eyes which looked as if he had seen a ghost, like a magic trick, he waved the long stick and it instantly turned into another one.

Also a long stick.

But whether in weight, length or style, it is completely different from the one just now.

It is five or six feet long, made of secret gold, with demonic energy flowing through it. There are cloud and thunder patterns cast on the long stick, which looks murderous and domineering.

"Here, give it a try."

Without waiting for Yuan Hong to react, Chen Yulou threw the long stick out.

Until the sound of breaking wind was heard.

Only then did it subconsciously reach out to take it.

As soon as he started to use it, he felt a chilling and piercing feeling. The most shocking thing was that the long stick was extremely heavy, weighing nearly 100 kilograms.

That is, it has now turned into a mandrill.

His strength has increased several times compared to before.

Otherwise, this one blow would probably overwhelm it.

"This is……"

The more Yuan Hong looked at it, the more delighted he became. Looking down, he saw several ancient seal characters of "Yi Qi Shui Huo Gun" hidden in the cloud pattern, which looked majestic and full of ancient flavor.

"I took a piece of the spine from that old dragon and mixed it with secret gold. I asked Shopkeeper Li Shuguo to make it especially for you."

I saw its eyes were full of surprise and excitement.

Chen Yulou had no intention of hiding anything and chuckled.

"Too expensive."

"Master... I, the old ape, have not done anything. For so long, I feel that I owe you a lot. Yuan Hong really doesn't deserve this."

I heard it was specially made for me.

Yuan Hong's eyes suddenly turned red.

Before this, the owner had never mentioned it, and it had never mentioned the idea of ​​changing weapons. Unexpectedly, the owner was so thoughtful and gave it such a big surprise.

For a while.

It just felt terrified.

The reason why Yuan Hong was so absorbed in spiritual practice was nothing else but because he had always felt inferior to others.

That's right.

In its heart, among the crowd.

Kunlun, Guaizi and Hong Girl were the first confidants who followed their master to conquer the world.

The three brothers and sisters of the Banshan lineage, as well as Yang Fang, are all leaders in the martial arts world.

Luofu people are born with the blood of phoenix and Baize deer, and even Wuyi has the blood of dragon.

Only I was just a wild ape in the mountains. I almost hurt my master. Thanks to his kindness, I was able to open my mind, refine my bones, read books, and embark on the path of cultivation.

So it practiced with all its might.

I just hope that one day, when I need to take action myself, I won’t be unable to do anything.

"Alright, it's just a weapon, there's no need to be so logical about it."

"Besides, if I say you deserve it, then you deserve it."

Seeing tears in its eyes and a hint of sob in its words, Chen Yulou couldn't help but step forward and pat it on the shoulder.

Except Luofu.

Yuan Hong was the first mountain demon to follow him.

He has always been loyal, never asked for anything, and devoted himself to practice.

Now looking back.

I really don't care enough about it.

It was Bai Ze who personally taught it how to read and write, and how to breathe.

"Give it a try. If it doesn't work, wait until you return from Dixian Village and ask Shopkeeper Li to recast it."

He sighed secretly.

Chen Yulou said with a smile.

"Yes, Master."

Yuan Hong nodded heavily.

He took a few deep breaths and suppressed his emotions.

Then he became full of vigor, picked up the long stick, and practiced seriously, one move at a time, according to the steps he usually used in practicing the stick.

brush brush --

I saw that it was extremely fast, and the long stick weighing over a hundred pounds in its hand could be flexed and released at will, and the sound of it breaking through the air was endless.

It has a bit of the flavor of a spear or halberd.

at last.

A set of stick techniques is completed.

Yuan Hong let out a long breath, holding the long stick, his amber eyes shone like pearls, his expression full of satisfaction.

"how?"

"Replying to the master, good, very good, Yuan Hong likes it very much."

It doesn't know how to describe it.

After getting used to the light iron rod, when I used this dragon magic weapon, I felt that every inch of strength in my body was exerted.

Even the set of stick techniques that were imprinted in his mind.

There is no more stagnation of the past.

He typed it out in one go.

"As long as you like it."

Chen Yulou smiled faintly.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen such childlike joy in it.

"Thank you, Master."

"It's still early, go back to your room and rest."

Yuan Hong nodded.

Holding the long stick in his arms with great solemnity, he hurried down to the cabin at the speed of a lightning.

I watched it disappear down the gangway.

Chen Yulou then withdrew his gaze and stretched out his hand to grab something out of thin air. Suddenly, a palm-sized porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. He pulled out the cork and a fresh fragrance of fruits and herbs wafted to his face.

Monkey wine.

Yuan Hong has been brewing diligently since he arrived on the island.

Finally, it was completed before arriving at the fairy village where we started.

A few days ago, it was specially delivered to Chashan Island.

After tasting it, he was extremely satisfied. Unfortunately, because he was in such a hurry, he only brewed about a few dozen kilograms. He was a bunch of drunkards, and they shared some of the wine. In the end, he only had six or seven jars.

This is the little bit that Chen Yulou secretly kept.

otherwise.

Even this is going to be taken away.

At this moment, facing the lake breeze and taking a sip of monkey wine, I feel happy and refreshed all over my body.

A few days ago, Shopkeeper Li had something delivered to his door.

In addition to Yuan Hong's Yiqi Water and Fire Stick, there are also hidden weapons tailor-made for Hua Ling to build the foundation for practice and control the hidden weapons. Even he was a little frightened when he saw it.

And then with the mirror umbrella.

One attack and one defense.

They complement each other and are a natural combination.

On the contrary, the weapons that Manager Li said he would make for him are still nowhere to be seen.

Chen Yulou was not in a hurry.

After all, even Li Shuguo said something unprecedented, so it must be something extraordinary.

Wait until you return from Dixian Village.

You can see things anyway.

After taking a few sips of monkey wine and feeling the breeze, Chen Yulou suddenly felt sleepy. He put away the porcelain bottle, put his hands behind his back, and walked down to the cabin.

Return to the room.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, he lay down on the bed, and soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

The scenery outside the window changes all the time.

Endless farmland, Yueyang Tower, ancient city, small towns, dense forests and mountains.

According to the trip plan, Chen Yulou did not choose to take the mountain road, but went along the Yangtze River, passed Jiangling, entered Jingzhou, crossed Yidu and Zigui, and then passed through Badong and Wushan counties, and finally entered the Daning River, finding a ferry restaurant to stay temporarily, waiting to reunite with Feng Sibei.

That was the original agreement.

The two groups of people went one westward and the other eastward.

If you calculate it, it's almost the same time as the previous one.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day.

The boat that everyone was on finally arrived in Wushan County. Because it is close to the Yangtze River, water transportation is well-developed and there are many merchants coming and going, which has led to its prosperity for thousands of years.

In addition, Wushan has a dangerous terrain with steep cliffs, and is also known as the Little Three Gorges.

Seeing that everyone was very interested.

Chen Yulou simply asked his servants to find a ferry to stop the boat.

One reason was for supplies. After six days, the food and water on the ship were almost exhausted. Fortunately, this place was prosperous and it was convenient to replenish supplies.

Another thing is that although I have been here several times, I have never stopped here. Now that I have such a good opportunity, I naturally want to try the local specialties.

Found a restaurant.

Everyone stepped into it.

Ordered a table of food.

They are all traditional specialties of Wushan, including grilled fish, bacon, longevity soup, cold noodles, magic tea, and waxed pig's trotter steak.

Good food must be accompanied by good wine.

It just so happens that Wushan County has been brewing wine since ancient times.

Rice wine, Guandu old wine, and also things like plums, sorghum, and honey.

Except for a few people.

Except for Hua Ling, Bai Banla and a few guys in charge of sailing, who are not good at or cannot drink, almost all of them are reincarnated drunkards. As soon as the seal was opened, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard one after another.

This trip lasted six days.

The boat was always drifting on the river and almost never came to the shore.

Even in the middle of the night, we rested on the boat.

And now I have such a good opportunity.

How could the group be polite?

Even Wuyi couldn't help but stick his head out of the bamboo basket.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile. He casually opened a jar of rice wine and shook it gently. The clear and transparent wine drew an arc and fell into its mouth accurately.

When had Wu Yi ever tasted such fine wine?

Even the grand banquet held to celebrate the old dragon’s 500th birthday was nothing more than blood food.

After all, there is still an insurmountable gap between monsters and humans.

In the past, it didn't know there was such a good thing.

The wine enters the stomach.

It only felt a surge of joy rushing straight to its head, and it wished it could raise its head and let out a long howl.

See this situation.

Chen Yulou casually threw the remaining half jar of rice wine over.

Let it taste and drink.

They ate and talked at the same time.

It was more than half an hour later that we finally had enough food and drink.

Afterwards, while the servants were away buying food, Chen Yulou and his party took the opportunity to stroll around the town.

They are fine, after all, they have traveled all over the country.

But Wuyi never left Junshan Island in his entire life.

Hiding in the bamboo basket carried by Kunlun, he would occasionally poke his head out, full of curiosity about everything in the world.

The same is true for Baibanla.

After all, I have been poor for most of my life, so how could I be so rich?

In the past, when I was traveling around the world, just to fill my stomach and stay alive was already a big struggle. Now that I can travel around with Manager Chen, I naturally want to take advantage of this good opportunity to take a good look.

and.

Accustomed to the vast plains of the north.

He was amazed by the big rivers, steep cliffs, local customs and people in Sichuan.

The two girls still strolled around hand in hand as usual, and when they saw gold and silver jewelry, rouge and powder that they liked, they would buy some and take them home.

Wait for the guys to return.

The crowd did not hesitate.

Sail from Daning Lake into Daning River, and then head north. Wushan County and Wuxi County are only one letter apart, but they are about a hundred miles apart.

It would be ok if I rode a horse.

Taking a boat is much slower.

It was not until nightfall, when the new moon was hanging in the sky, that the group finally arrived at Wushan Coffin Gorge.

In the night on both sides of the river, there are constant sounds of insects chirping, birds singing, and monkeys chirping.

but……

No one cares about this.

The group of people who had gathered on the deck early in the morning just held their breath and looked up at the cliff. They saw coffins hanging on the half of the cliff along the way.

There are a lot more than when we first passed through Bingshu Gorge.

It is densely packed, shrouded in clouds and mist, and its shape is like a ship, as if it is floating in the sky.

Don't know why.

See this familiar scene.

Subconsciously, everyone's mind emerged the scene of the old captain of the boat they were on that day, leading a group of waiters, burning paper, lighting incense, and kneeling on the ground to kowtow.

The coffin of gods and the house of ghosts and gods.

In just over a year, the scenery is similar, but everyone's mood is completely different.

Only Bai Banla, who saw the hanging coffins for the first time, had a look of awe on his face.

The boats drifted silently across the river.

Half an hour later.

In the mountains ahead, lights are floating, and the night is as dark as ink, as if you have suddenly entered a fox fairy market or a ghost town.

"finally reached……"

Chen Yulou breathed out.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see that those lights were not from a ghost market, but from an ancient town nestled in the mountains and by the water.

It is definitely Wuxi County without a doubt.

Count it up.

The timing is just right.

I walked on the sixth day at midnight and arrived before the seventh day. After a night's rest, I woke up to the Dragon Boat Festival. I didn't know whether Feng Sibei had already arrived or was on his way.

Listen to his sighs.

The faces of the people around him also showed a hint of joy.

Sit and watch the big ship approach the ferry.

The lights are bright.

The bustling atmosphere of the town suddenly hit me.
