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

"Earth Immortal Village?!"

"Is this the Dixian Village in front?"

A group of people braved the mist pouring down all around and gathered outside the stone tablet. Under the flickering firelight, their faces were reflected, unable to conceal their excitement.

This stone tablet has at least several hundred years of history.

The handwriting is profound, vigorous and powerful.

Just one look at it makes people feel immersed in it.

Holding the lantern, Yang Fang walked past the stone tablet and took a few steps forward. Under his feet was a rushing river. It was dark and deep, and the only sound was the rumbling sound of water.

Any further ahead, the firelight could not penetrate.

It is hard to imagine how majestic and magnificent the canyon below us is, let alone how deep and long it is.

"Can't be wrong."

Feng Sibei, who had looked extremely solemn since arriving here, nodded.

"It is recorded in the clan book of my branch that the earth immortal who left with the direct lineage members was extremely arrogant and always had high aspirations. He was obsessed with achieving immortality and living forever."

"When I was young, I went around looking for immortals, but I often encountered setbacks. So I turned my attention to those heavenly books and strange instruments. In addition to ordinary witchcraft, there are also many bloody and cruel so-called methods of becoming immortal."

"But he couldn't listen to outsiders' opinions, got angry easily, and his mood was erratic."

"When he reached middle age, he had been in seclusion for many years and thought he had mastered the way to immortality. He was determined to lead his clan members to ascend to heaven. However, the ancestor of my lineage sensed the danger and did not agree. This is why we parted ways later."

Feng Sibei said softly.

This past event is a top secret of the Feng family. Over the years, it has been passed down by word of mouth and outsiders have no way of knowing it.

He has always kept it rotten in his stomach.

Even the wife never revealed it.

Until he discovered the mystery of the Earthly Immortal Village and felt that there might be no hope in his life, he became worried that the Feng family would be cut off in his hands and he would not be able to face his ancestors.

With no other options, he gave his two sons away separately.

Before leaving, he told them all about the Earth Immortal Village and told them that if they had the chance, they could inherit their ancestors' will. If not, they should hide their identities and become ordinary people.

did not expect.

A life of wandering.

As he was getting old, he finally got a chance.

Now the descendants of the four schools are all here.

There is no need to hide these secrets anymore.

Otherwise, once he is gone, it would be wishful thinking for his son, who has not learned much of the Feng family's heritage, to want to carry on his legacy.

"So, Taoist priest, what you mean is that he left the monument here on purpose."

"Are you sure no one can figure out the mystery?"

After hearing this, the old foreigner said thoughtfully.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"After all, how can we use common sense to infer someone who can do something like ascending to heaven with his entire clan?"

Chen Yulou sneered.

This kind of person is either a child of destiny or an absolute lunatic.

The former is like Partridge Whistle and Feng Sibei.

Although he is extremely talented, he is trapped in the quagmire all his life and cannot save himself.

Unfortunately, Feng Shigu belongs to the latter. His so-called clan's ascension is nothing but an extremely empty pie. Not only can he not become an immortal, but he will be turned into a blood slave and become a pile of bones on his way to becoming an immortal.

"Master, there should be some record about this place in Guanshan Zhimi Fu, right?"

With a cold snort, Chen Yulou asked without hesitation.

"Have."

Feng Sibei nodded.

He quickly took out an ancient scroll from his bag.

The scrolls made by Yuzhu have cracks, and the pages are yellowed and have curled edges. It is obvious that they are the result of repeated reading for a long time.

But no one cared.

They just surrounded them immediately.

With the help of the firelight, several lines of ancient characters instantly came into view.

Apart from the first few lines about what a great king he is, everyone's eyes were fixed on 'in front of the soul-scaring stage, a dark river across the sky, the immortal bridge is invisible and hard to find with the naked eye' and 'fall off a cliff and sacrifice one's life, and ascend to heaven in one step'.

There are six sentences in total, with twenty-four words.

It was no different from what Chen Yulou had in mind.

He glanced down subconsciously.

Guanshan Zhimi Fu has four-character sentences in each sentence, totaling forty-eight sentences, which is indeed inconsistent with the seventy-two sentences in the rumor. The one that was circulated later was all fabricated by Professor Sun.

"Scaring Platform, Shadowless Bridge?"

"According to the Zhimi Fu, the Yin River should be the one in front of us."

"However, the last two sentences are a little hard to understand. The Immortal Bridge is invisible, and one must sacrifice oneself and fall off a cliff to cross it?"

As his eyes swept across the entire text of Zhimi Fu.

Yang Fang, standing aside, frowned and spoke in a low voice, his words full of confusion.

These six short sentences may seem simple, but in fact they are like a riddle, confusing and difficult to understand.

"Since the Soul-Scaring Platform is specially marked here, it should be just like the headless stone man we saw before, and it really exists somewhere here."

He raised questions, but no one could answer them.

Chen Yulou withdrew his gaze from the ancient scroll and said calmly.

"What does Shopkeeper Chen mean?"

"Look around."

Now that a decision has been made, people will no longer make random guesses.

But there was no rush to act.

This place is eerie and dark, rugged and difficult to walk on, and it consumes a lot of physical energy. Chen Yulou is fine, but he also has to consider other people.

Take advantage of this time when they take a rest and replenish their energy.

He walked to the cliff alone, holding a lantern. Above his head, a waterfall was hanging upside down in the air, and below him, a rapid river was rushing. Behind him was the cave entrance they came from, and in front of him was endless darkness.

Walking in the tomb.

Groping in the dark is an essential experience.

This is why tomb robbing is called ground rat in many places.

Many tomb robbers of the older generation, because they have been living underground for so long and are accustomed to life in the dark, are not able to adapt after coming out.

but……

The darkness around me now is a little unusual.

I can't see my fingers.

Even though there was golden light interweaving in his eyes, it was difficult to see through and the distance was too far.

It was as if what was hanging above his head was not a waterfall, but an ink pool.

The strangest thing was that a strange, indescribable sound echoed from the depths of the darkness.

He couldn't help but recall that when he was in town, he heard the miners say that Coffin Gorge was weird. There were many abandoned deep salt mines. It wasn't because the witch salt had been mined out, but because the miners couldn't stand the weird sounds that passed through their minds, making them feel as if they were in the underworld of hell.

Now the voice is looming.

In addition, the sound of the river below the waterfall is too loud.

If you don't listen carefully, you might miss it.

"Golden Swift?"

"Or are they the locusts that transformed into Maoxian?"

Just as he was thinking about it.

The people behind him had already stood up and packed their luggage, and the torches were swaying back and forth in the wind.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou put aside his distracting thoughts, took the lead, holding a lantern, and walked along the cliff at the foot of the mountain into the depths of the underground rift valley.

The path they were walking on happened to extend out from the rock wall.

There is a rushing river beneath me.

Over millions of years, the water has gradually corroded the cliffs, causing large areas to collapse in many places. In addition, this place is extremely humid, and the stone walls are covered with icy water droplets. If you are not careful, you may fall into the river.

Chen Yulou could only remind them along the way.

Fortunately, among the crowd, except for Bai Banla who was a little weaker, the rest were veterans who were used to traveling around the world, and fighting tombs was as easy as eating and drinking water for them.

As for the white ape, it was mixed in with the crowd.

There wasn't much fear.

Ever since it swallowed the pill outside the stone gate, it has felt unprecedented comfort, full of energy and vitality, warm all over, as if it had endless strength.

It is not stupid, on the contrary it is extremely smart.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to survive in the dangerous Coffin Gorge.

Just as that senior said, the pill is definitely a treasure that is worth a fortune.

In its eyes, the old ape senior was already an unattainable existence.

The body of a great demon is psychic and can speak.

But it actually called the man in the green shirt and long gown its master.

It is conceivable that his strength is even more unfathomable.

I glanced at him secretly at this moment, and felt that his back was as deep as a mountain, even taller than the steep cliffs on both sides.

If I could catch his eye.

Isn't there a chance to become a demon like Senior Old Ape?

It was with this thought in mind that it suppressed its fear and followed all the way here.

If it were in the past, it would never dare to come down. Even the stone door on the cliff outside was filled with incomparable terror to it.

The key is.

In this place, it can keenly sense an immense danger.

It can be easily killed.

This is also the reason why it has known about this place for so many years but has never dared to take a single step beyond the line.

But these days are different.

With so many Taoists following me, I finally have the opportunity to take a glimpse into the mysteries of the underground.

No need to live in fear all day long.

I always feel like when I wake up one night, the big ghost behind the door has chopped off my head.

It took us half an hour to walk.

Finally, we arrived at the end of the ancient tunnel.

There was moonlight shining overhead, like another cenote. With the help of the light, the white ape squinted his eyes and discovered that the terrain of this section of the canyon was very strange.

There is a huge underground swamp beneath him.

The water of Yin River gathers and swirls here.

Opposite is a dangerous peak that reaches into the sky, straight up and straight down, while the exit of the ancient tunnel below is hanging halfway up the mountain, looking like a... dragon gate.

In the dark fog on both sides of the Dragon Gate, countless stone beasts can be vaguely seen.

It was the black sheep seen before.

Although those ghost things were dead, for some reason, the white ape always felt that there was an inexplicable evil spirit in them, as if they would come alive at any time and pounce on him.

Force yourself to look away.

The white ape shuddered secretly.

Subconsciously, he moved closer to where Senior Old Ape was.

It seems that this will give it enough sense of security.

"Brother Chen, it is indeed a soul-scare platform!"

It didn't dare to move rashly, but to others, this place seemed very ordinary. They all held lanterns and gathered in front of the canyon.

The white ape even saw a lantern and flew out on its own, eventually landing on a large bluestone in front of the Dragon Gate.

It is still hesitating whether it is a Kongming lantern or something else.

A sound of surprise was heard.

Standing on tiptoe, it could clearly see in the flickering firelight two strange characters as big as millstones engraved on the large bluestone.

Like a snail star.

It could not read, but the old ape beside it could.

"Scared soul?!"

"As the master expected, the Soul-Scaring Platform is right here, but... the Shadowless Bridge?"

Yuan Hong widened his eyes and looked around. The end of the tunnel and the exit were nearly a hundred meters apart. The pool below him was as dark as ink, and he understood the principle that black water means abyss.

It is not easy to get through.

The red girl frowned slightly, "The Immortal Bridge is invisible and hard to find with the naked eye. Shopkeeper, this bridge is not really invisible, is it?"

“Nature is invisible.”

"Otherwise, how could that senior from the Feng family be so confident?"

Chen Yulou shook his head.

Then, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out.

However, the stone did not fall into the deep lake as expected.

Instead, it was like the Kongming lantern before, hanging in the air, as if held up by an invisible hand. But soon, a vortex rose from the bottom up, instantly carrying the stone through the dragon gate and landing on the opposite mountain wall.

"This……"

"Is this the Shadowless Immortal Bridge?"

"I was wondering why there was a lot of ghost howling noises in this damn place. Turns out it was the sound of the wind."

"He's going to sacrifice himself and fall off the cliff. Would he just jump down like this and float to the other side with the help of the wind from the bottom of the mountain?"

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

No one had ever thought that this was the case with the Shadowless Immortal Bridge.

Even when he casually handed over the lantern and it landed accurately on the large bluestone, they just thought it was a trick performed by Chen Yulou.

After all, even Feng Xu can ride the wind and walk in the air.

What does this little trick count for?

But they could see clearly how the stone was thrown. Not only did it not activate the Qi, it didn't even have the strength to move. It was just a casual throw.

The group of people didn't understand.

Clearly it is the wind that keeps flowing deep in the canyon that can do this.

"Manager Chen has good tactics."

"Since the Shadowless Bridge has appeared, I will be the first to lead the charge."

Feng Sibei considered himself experienced, but after entering this place, he was led around almost the entire time. Just now, he was even contemplating those two ancient seal characters of Snail Star, but in such a short time, Chen Yulou had already seen this step.

No wonder, in today's tomb-robbing world, no one can surpass him.

It is true that there is no false reputation!

After all, it is his Feng family's business. Now that danger is imminent, he should stand up.

only……

The words just fell.

Then he saw Chen Yulou shaking his head at him.

“Master, don’t be anxious. Although this wind vortex is huge, in Chen’s opinion, it is definitely not able to withstand so many of us crossing the bridge.”

"So, what does Shopkeeper Chen mean?"

Feng Sibei was startled and stopped subconsciously.

Chen Yulou did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Partridge Whistle and said, "Brother, try firing a shot down the mountain."

Among all the people, he was the only one who never left his two twenty-shot mirror-surface boxes.

This is also true when practicing Buddhism.

When Partridge Whistle heard this, a strange look flashed across his eyes. For some reason, these words sounded particularly familiar. His mind was quickened and after a moment of thought, he suddenly remembered that Chen Yulou had said the same thing to him when they were robbing Pingshan together.

and so.

Is he going to use the same old trick again, using Xiangling's technique of hearing the mountain and identifying the dragon, to listen to the situation below before making any plans?

Thinking of this, Partridge Whistle nodded.

This was consistent with his understanding of Chen Yulou. He always did things flawlessly and would not leave any trouble for himself.

Partridge Whistle seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

He pulled out a mirrored box from his waist with his backhand. There was a crisp click of the bolt, and then flames appeared. Bullets were fired from the barrel, and thunderous gunshots randomly resounded in the underground abyss.

only……

Accompanied by a rumbling echo.

A dense and strange noise, as if thousands of pots of boiling water were ringing at the same time, suddenly surged in from the foot of the mountain, from far away to near, with a roar like the thunder of the Waking of Insects.

It caused everyone's ears to tinnitus.

Bai Banla, the weakest one, even had to raise his hands to cover his ears.

I feel a little better now.

"No, something seems to be rushing up from the bottom of this mountain?!"
