Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!
Chapter 485: Counting the Harvest and Heading North to Tianjin [5K]
It's already the third day.
Fortunately, there were often merchants coming and going in the town to collect Wu salt, so they were not very noticeable. In addition, Feng Sibei had traveled between Wushan and Wuxi countless times over the years and was a familiar face, so he did not attract any attention.
Wait all the way back to the previous restaurant.
Without caring about anything else, everyone, who had not slept for several days and nights in the mountains, went to their rooms and fell asleep. They slept for more than ten hours before they were completely exhausted.
When I woke up, it was already night, but the town was no longer as peaceful as usual. There were sounds of gongs and drums everywhere, and from time to time, you could hear the sound of firecrackers breaking the darkness.
A group of people pushed the door open and gathered in the corridor on the second floor.
Leaning over the fence and looking over.
The long street was brightly lit, and locals dressed in strange costumes were running around carrying a sedan chair.
Wherever he passed, men, women, old and young, all knelt on the ground, with their hands clasped together, their faces pious, and they muttered something, all praying for good weather and good health for the whole family in the coming year.
The eyesight of these people was far superior to that of ordinary people, so even though they were dozens of meters away, and the statues enshrined on the sedan were covered by curtains, they could still see what was inside the sedan at a glance.
He is short, pitch black, with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious look.
There was not the slightest bit of majesty in his aura, and his evil aura almost spread in all directions through the curtain.
Then look at the people in the town kneeling on the ground.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but frown.
Although this idea has countless evil sacrifices and obscene offerings, all the monsters in the mountains and the ghosts on the graves have been invited into the temple to eat incense, just like the old raccoon on the ancient raccoon monument, but it at least knows to transform itself into Old Lady Bai.
The only thing missing from this statue is the word "evil god" engraved on it.
No need to worry about scaring the children.
"This... is the evil god worshipped in the Cannon Temple?"
"It can't be wrong. Damn it, I didn't expect to see it here."
"That's not normal. Don't you think about how these people in Wuxi Town survive?"
Just as he was hesitating, several old foreigners beside him recognized the origin of the statue in the sedan at a glance. Hearing this, Chen Yulou's eyes twitched and he finally reacted.
In the Dixian Village a few days ago.
He did not enter the Temple of the Martial Saint.
Naturally, he had never seen what the God of Cannon looked like.
He just didn't expect that hundreds of years have passed since the Ming Dynasty, and the sacrificial custom in Wuxi Town is still so popular.
However, as the old foreigner said, the people who stayed in Wuxi Town made a living by digging wells and cutting salt in the mountains, and they naturally held sacrifices every year, just like the fishermen by the lake and boatmen, who would worship the river god Dragon King and pray for peace of mind.
Wait for the statue to pass by the restaurant.
The old shopkeeper, who had been prepared, hurried forward to offer incense, and several employees lit the firecrackers hanging on the roof. Amid the sounds of crackling, fireworks rose up, and it was as lively as the New Year.
Watched for a moment.
Several people lost interest and left one after another.
Soon, only Chen Yulou, Feng Sibei and, yes, the white ape were left.
At the moment, it was wearing a long gown, and it was obviously not used to it. It kept pulling at it from time to time, as if it had fleas. However, its eyes were clear and more spiritual than before. It stood to one side with its hands hanging down, almost no different from a human.
When the sun rose from the mountain that day, Chen Yulou mentioned it casually.
As a result, Feng Sibei was really moved.
Not only did he plan to bring the white ape back to the Tianshi Cave in Qingcheng Mountain, he had also already accepted it as his disciple. According to the eight words in the Tianshi Cave's name 'Xuanqing Dajian, Mu and Qitian', he gave it a Taoist name Qingxi, which just happened to be the name of Qingxi Town.
Seeing how serious he was, Chen Yulou naturally would not be stingy and spent some time to open Qingxi's spiritual orifices and refine his horizontal bone.
However, it has only been a short time since it left the Dixian Village, and Feng Sibei has not had time to teach it to read and write, so it doesn't know whether the name Qingxi is good or bad, or what it means.
But it is very exciting.
After all, everyone has a name.
Now that I have it, I can no longer be considered a lonely wild monkey in the mountains.
In addition, as an elder of the same clan, Yuan Hong gave it the iron rod that it had used before.
The white ape also cherishes it very much.
I sealed it layer by layer and carried it behind me.
However, the iron bone was taller than it and looked a little weird.
"When do you plan to set off, Taoist Priest?"
Chen Yulou asked casually while leaning against the railing.
"Just one or two days."
Feng Sibei withdrew his gaze from the team that had already walked away and responded. From his tone, it was obvious that he had already made plans. After all, the matter of the Earthly Immortal Village was over, and they couldn't stay here for long.
"Where's Shopkeeper Chen?"
"Do you want to go with me to Qingcheng Mountain to rest for a few days?"
Hearing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile, with a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth.
Qingcheng is a quiet and secluded place under heaven, and the trip that day left a deep impression on him. He wanted to go there to live in seclusion and practice for a while, but he had a lot of things on his plate and couldn't get away.
"We will also leave in one or two days."
"But there's a high probability that it will go north."
"Going north?"
Hearing this, Feng Sibei couldn't help but look surprised.
You know, since the war broke out in the north, countless people have fled south to avoid disaster in recent years. But now he has to do the opposite. It is not a good time to go north.
"It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."
Chen Yulou understood what he meant and waved his hand.
When they set out from Junshan Island that day, he and Uncle Jiu said that it would take at most half a year or at most several months. Although it would be difficult to reach Dixian Village, it would definitely not take that long.
So at that time, he had actually made plans.
Turn north from Wuxi Town.
Of course, it was not to travel, but for other purposes.
The first was that he had promised Yang Fang a long time ago that when he had free time, he would take a trip to Tianjin to meet Cui Laodao, his sworn brother who had led him to cause chaos in Luoyang City and surrounded and killed Tu Heihu.
As for the second one, since we have already been to Tianjin, it doesn’t matter that much. We can continue north through Juyongguan to Mobei, go to Baiyan Cave to get the eyeless dragon talisman, and by the way, go and see the ancient god’s treasure flower.
If you have enough time, you can go to Laoyeling and maybe meet the Golden King Ma Dianchen outside the Great Wall.
"Since Manager Chen already has a plan, I won't ask any more questions."
Seeing his calm expression, Feng Sibei immediately came to his senses and nodded, "It's just that I'm afraid it will be difficult to sort out the heavenly books and artifacts and ancient Taoist scriptures in the Bone Storage Building for a while..."
"No hurry, Taoist priest, take your time and think long and hard."
Hearing the embarrassment and anxiety in his tone, Chen Yulou just smiled and shook his head.
Those ancient scriptures were not actually too important to him. After all, before that, he had never tried even the Xuan Dao Fu Qi Foundation Building Technique, the Seven Star Horizontal Training True Qigong, the Shen Guang Can, and the Dong Xuan Jin Yu Ji.
No matter how mysterious and magical a skill is, can it be better than Qingmu Changsheng Gong?
It is enough to be used as evidence to assist practice.
What's more, immortality is so difficult. Even though he has become a primordial spirit now, he can't see any sign of ascending to heaven. The primordial spirit has only taken a small step and crossed the divine bridge before he can stand firm.
Let alone three to five years, he felt it was not too late as long as Feng Sibei could accomplish it within ten years.
The two chatted for a while.
The night is getting darker.
Then they returned to their rooms.
However, Chen Yulou did not rest. Instead, he walked to the desk, tidied it up simply, and then waved his hand. Suddenly, thirty or forty jade boxes were lined up on the table.
He opened one of them at random, and with the light of the oil lamp beside him, a seven-leaf old mountain ginseng came into his sight.
The rich medicinal power and inspiration slowly spread.
It turned out to be a three to five hundred year old medicinal herb.
These herbs were brought back from the deep abyss beneath the Scary Soul Platform by the three demons Wuyi, Yuanhong and Luofu. No one has been to that place for hundreds of years. The dragon aura is strong and there grow countless natural treasures, which are even more amazing than the bottle yam wall.
I have been busy with other things these days and only now have time to sort it out.
Set it aside.
Chen Yulou continued to open the second jade box, in which lay a Polygonum multiflorum that was almost in human shape. The whole body was jade-smooth, and a faint golden light could be seen flowing. The medicinal power was so strong that even he was a little tempted by it.
Moreover, unlike the old ginseng next to it, this good Polygonum multiflorum is specially locked with a talisman.
It is clear that a hint of the supernatural has evolved.
Just waiting for the right opportunity to transform into a demon.
It would be extremely difficult to catch it by then.
Chen Yulou glanced over, and his sight seemed to be able to penetrate the Polygonum multiflorum and clearly caught that ray of golden light. It was obvious that he was concentrating on an inspiration.
You know, he has been searching for materials for cultivation for so long, and he has seen many spiritual objects, but there are very few that can compare to this Polygonum multiflorum.
Think about it.
There is only the Kunlun fetus and the human-shaped flesh lotus.
To be precise, the former cannot be considered as magical medicines, but rather spiritual creatures living on earth.
As for the fleshy wormwood, although it has the shape of a human, it is not as magical as this Polygonum multiflorum.
"This thing can't be wasted."
"Take it when you have a breakthrough, and it may have unexpected effects."
Chen Yulou's eyes were burning as he muttered to himself while casting a talisman to seal the jade box.
Unlike other great medicines, this Polygonum multiflorum has already become a spiritual object. It may turn into a demon at any time. It is more than just a life-saving medicine, it is simply a Taoist elixir.
After doing all this, he opened the remaining jade boxes one by one.
Without exception, almost all of them are old medicines that are hundreds of years old. It's a pity that no second piece of Polygonum multiflorum has ever been seen.
"Greed is never enough, a snake swallows an elephant."
"The second one...I'm afraid it would be hard to find in the whole world."
As this thought came to his mind, Chen Yulou, who was standing outside the desk, couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
If Wu Yi hadn't been there, even if he had personally entered the abyss on the cliff, it would have been difficult to detect its trace. It would have been a stroke of luck to be able to find one, so how could he dare to hope for a second one?
With a wave of long sleeves.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The jade box on the desk was empty in an instant, and he put all the jade boxes back into his Dantian cave.
For those under two hundred years old, he planned to take them as medicine, as Qingmu's real body was enough to refine all the medicinal power in them. As for those over two hundred years old, he would use them to make pills, so as to absorb the medicinal power to the greatest extent.
After putting away the medicine boxes, there was only one left on the desk.
The inscriptions on the white jade box appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Facing this jade box, Chen Yulou's expression became noticeably more solemn. What was hidden inside was not an ordinary elixir, but the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass that was peeled off from the Nine Lives Shocking Tomb Armor.
Even he had only heard of this thing.
In the past two days, he also asked Hua Ling privately. Among the group, she was the most proficient in pharmacology.
But unfortunately, there is no final conclusion. Hua Ling only said that this thing was recorded in Bencao Qiuzhen, but the drawing in the medicine book was completely different from it. The resurrection grass is actually Selaginella.
He didn't continue asking questions after that.
Chen Yulou had seen Selaginella before.
