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

Chapter 191: The whale swallows and encroaches and returns to Xiangyin
Just as Chen Yulou expected.

As the capital of Yongshun Dynasty.

Laosicheng is located at the head of the Miaoling Mountains, with rivers and mountain roads extending in all directions.

It is impossible to hide such a big thing.

Before dawn, the Tusi Mansion was attacked, and the news of Peng Ruyang's death spread throughout the country in a very short period of time, as if it had grown wings.

just.

This thing was too shocking.

So much so that when the An family, Zhang family, and Xiang family, who were all chieftains, received the secret letter, their first thought was that they couldn't believe it at all.

After all, no matter how declining the Peng family is now, it is not something that ordinary people can compare to.

Miaoling, Mengdonghe, Laoxiong Ling, rolling mountains spanning more than a thousand miles, covering seven states, are all owned by the Peng family.

As long as the An family is weak, the two families will secretly help each other.

Before dawn, most of the Peng family camp had already disappeared, and the rest were in panic.

As long as the Peng family is immortal, they will naturally flourish for centuries.

Wait until Anjia reacts.

Below that.

But paper cannot contain fire after all.

Forced into the Peng family's territory.

Whether it's taxing people, arresting people, or suppressing unrest, they are the ones doing it.

All ministries can only be ordered to retreat.

Between each other, it can be said that one is prosperous and the other is devastated.

of course.

The Zhang family and the Xiang family were not taken advantage of.

Even the captains of the An family's generation went to the front line to supervise orders, chasing the remaining troops and killing them continuously.

Start taking advantage of the situation.

Over the past two hundred years, the Anpeng and Peng families have been at odds with each other openly and secretly, and a war will break out every ten or twenty years.

Now, how could the three families still not understand?

In fact, the news of Peng Ruyang's death was sent to the camp early in the morning.

But Anjia loses more and wins less.

In order not to shake the morale of the military, the original commander of the local government wanted to suppress the matter.

Just like this time, it seemed that the An family had the greatest profit, and the Peng family was killed in a frontal battlefield, and the Peng family lost their armor, and the depression of more than two hundred years was wiped away.

But the Peng family collapsed.

By doing this, one of them doesn't want to just sit back and watch the Peng family dominate, and the other is also motivated by the An family to contain the Peng family.

Then, it spreads from one to ten and then to a hundred.

Coupled with the Peng family members who were on the battlefield of Nanlong River, the army was demoralized and suddenly began to withdraw.

But in fact, the Zhang family and the Xiang family took this opportunity, one from the south to the north, and unknowingly swallowed up a large area of ​​​​the Peng family's territory.

In this situation, even the command department was helpless.

An Jia, in particular, took advantage of his illness to kill him and almost used all his cards to throw tens of thousands of people into Nanlong River.

but……

It's their turn next.

The Zhang family and the Xiang family raised troops to cross the border in the shortest possible time.

Anyone with a smart mind.

After all, are there intact eggs under the overturned nest?
In such a situation, the Miao people, Yi people, and Wa villagers have already become the leaders of each tribe, so how can they think of working hard for the Peng family.

If not for the natural danger of Nanlong River, the Zhang family and the Xiang family were not willing to sit back and watch the Peng family dominate the situation, so the three families secretly formed an alliance.

As soon as he learned the news, he quietly left with his confidants.

The various tribes of the Miao village rely on the Peng family to survive under the big tree that covers the sky.

Not to mention that Lao Sicheng is impregnable. In just one hour, if someone breaks the city and kills people, can they leave safely?
It's simply a fantasy.

The news that Laosicheng was attacked is extremely true and is definitely not a lie.

Only two families can develop secretly.

Such a behemoth.

As more and more news, even details, came along the Lingxi River and Miaoling Mountains.

No matter how much dirt the future generations may have, they cannot hold up the wall, but the huge foundation they have accumulated cannot be defeated by at least several generations.

It's already too late.

After all, how could you vomit out something you swallowed?
As for those mountain people who fled into the mountains, or left southwestern Guizhou and traveled west to Yunnan, north to Sichuan, south to Guizhou, and east to Hunan, they were even more surprised and happy when they heard the news.

Of course, he was happy that the Peng family was on the road to death.

Frightened, angry, and helpless, it is because it is very likely that it will be difficult to return to the homeland in this life.

And just when the three families were dividing the Peng family.

Chen Yulou and his party have crossed the Mengdong River, passed the Miao Village, and entered the boundaries of Three Hunan and Four Waters.

along the way.

No matter the market or the world.

There are stories about Lao Sicheng everywhere.

Not surprisingly, as the distance grows further, countless versions of what happened that night have emerged.

to be frank.

Chen Yulou has long been used to this.

But when he heard someone swore that the reason why the Peng family suffered such a disaster and annihilation was because they offended the gods and ghosts, even he couldn't help but have a question mark on his face.

The Miao people are similar to the Wa village.

I have always believed in ghosts and gods.

For example, the people of the Eighteen Miao Villages in western Hunan believe that there are eighty-three ghosts and gods in heaven and earth, while the Miao people in southeastern Guizhou believe that there are three gods and eighteen ghosts. Southwest Guizhou believes in the integration of gods and ghosts.

It is precisely because the Peng family thinks too highly of themselves and does not respect ghosts and gods.

So the ghosts and gods were furious and sent hundreds of heavenly ghosts to turn Laosicheng into a hellfire overnight.

As for why it is spread like this.

It was because someone saw a stream of fire streaking over Laosicheng that night.

then……

The inner city was ablaze.

What he said was decent and impeccable.

Unfortunately, there is a huge difference between the facts and the rumors.

Because of this rumor, he didn't find it strange at all when he heard other rumors when he was on the road.

The first day of the tenth lunar month.

It is a traditional winter garment for sacrificial festivals.

On this day, people will sacrifice and burn sacrifices to pay homage to their relatives.

Because it is autumn, it is also called Autumn Festival, October Festival, or Ancestor Worship Festival.

In addition, there are also customs of giving clothes and opening furnaces.

The fire flows in July and the clothes are given in September.

It is precisely from this.

When the group walked along the Yuan River, passed through Xiangyin City, and entered the vast Xiantan Ridge, they saw the Zhuangzi located in the green mountains and fertile fields from a distance.

just.

Don't know why.

Chen Yulou, who was riding on the back of Longju, subconsciously slowed down.

Maybe it's because of the shyness of being close to home.

Or maybe it's because... I haven't been back for too long.

The last time I left, it was not yet the autumn harvest, and the fields were full of vitality and prosperity.

To prepare for the coming harvest.

Zhuangzi also built a special autumn club.

Now that I have returned, there is no more green crops in the fields, only patches of field ridges and dry wells.

The weather has also changed from hot summer to cold autumn.

In the blink of an eye, two or three months have passed.

Not only him, but the others also expressed emotion.

"The shopkeeper... the kidnapper is here."

Chen Yulou looked across the fields to the mountains further away. The autumn wind was rustling and the green leaves were already dyed red.

In a state of confusion.

The red girl came behind me at some point and whispered.

"kidnapper?"

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked away, looking outside Chenjiazhuang.

really.

A group of people were rushing out of the village on horseback and heading straight for where they were.

The first person.

Who is it if it’s not Huamaguai?

However, looking from a distance, there was a hint of surprise in Chen Yulou's eyes.

Huamaguai has been in the village since she was a child.

During the escape, he was exposed to rain and famine and fell seriously ill, and the root of the disease was established. Even though he took a lot of medicine to treat his condition in the years that followed, the foundation was damaged and he was always weak.

Among the three, he has the worst health.

However, Huamaguaisheng has a flexible mind, a sharp mind, and is experienced in doing things, which never makes people worry.

So over the years, he has been taking care of almost everything on the mountain.

Zhuangzi also took care of him a lot.

No one in the Chen family village knows that Uncle Yu is the current butler and Huamaguai is the next generation heir.

Because I went to southern Yunnan.

A line goes back and forth for months at a time.

Chen Yulou, who was really worried, specially left him here. With Uncle Yu watching in the village and with him sitting on the mountain, he could sit back and relax.

Now it seems that the kidnapper is doing pretty well.

There was tranquility inside and outside Zhuangzi.

It was completely different from the chaos seen along the way.

It's like a paradise.

But what surprised him was that the figure riding on the horse at the moment, with blood surging all over his body, was clearly a person who had successfully practiced martial arts, or was a master of breathing. how come?
It is no exaggeration to say that the bones of Guaizi's body can be blown by the wind.

Over the years, not only him, but also Miss Hong had tried to persuade him countless times to learn martial arts and keep fit, but the boy always used excuses like being busy or tired to pass by.

It’s been a long time.

Chen Yulou just let him go.

Unexpectedly, this time I just went to southern Yunnan, and the boy turned out to be completely different.

Shu Ma stood on the field road.

Chen Yulou waited quietly.

Not long after, a team arrived outside. Huamaguai jumped off the horse with an excited look on his face.

He strode outside the dragon colt.

"Shopkeeper... you are finally back."

As soon as he spoke, his tone became choked.

All these years.

Whenever the shopkeeper went on a long trip, he didn't always accompany him. Fortunately, this time, Kunlun and Hong Gu were gone, leaving him alone.

Two months is not a long time.

But it's definitely not short.

But every time he came down the mountain to Zhuangzi, Uncle Yu was getting older, so he spent most of his time finding a well-lit place in Zhuangzi, basking in the sun and dozing off to sleep.

As for everyone else.

After all, the relationship is still somewhat distant.

He didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Now that I was looking around, I finally got the shopkeeper and them back.

"Don't be so playful yet."

After seeing his appearance, Chen Yulou calmly interrupted.

"What happened to you?"

"Ah...oh, I know I can't hide this from you, the shopkeeper."

Huamaguai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at himself, then suddenly realized and grinned.

"Don't let me practice martial arts well before you leave."

"In the past few months, things have been calm in the mountain villa, and I have nothing to do, so I casually looked for some internal exercises and browsed through them."

"Can you reach the threshold by just flipping through it?"

Hear this.

Chen Yulou was relatively calm.

But the red girl behind her couldn't hold back anymore.

She originally wanted to practice martial arts.

I don’t know how much I suffered.

It is no lie to practice in the summer and practice in the winter.

Especially a few months ago, in order to practice the foundation building skills of Xuan Dao, I just entered the level of samadhi. I had to practice hard in the back mountain for more than half a month before I met the shopkeeper's requirements and started trying to introduce Qi into my body.

Huamaguai is a person who is tired of standing still.

After all these years, I can’t even remember the simplest set of Wu Qin Xi.

Now you can get started with just a few exercises.

It's impossible that he is the one-of-a-kind martial arts wizard?
"It's not that simple."

Huamaguai scratched his head.

He was a little embarrassed to say it in front of everyone.

But since the shopkeeper asked, he couldn't hide it, so he could only bite the bullet and say it.

"At first, I couldn't even understand the sentences. They were so clumsy that it was hard to read."

"But that day I was reading a book by the lake, and suddenly I met Uncle Ming, and we had a casual chat. I didn't even think of asking him, but he asked anyway."

"Then I just said it casually."

"I didn't expect...Uncle Ming is also quite successful in martial arts training. He gave me some pointers a few times, and I practiced as he told me. Day after day, I didn't fall behind until this morning."

Huama said intermittently.

The look of surprise and suspicion in Chen Yulou's eyes gradually dissipated.

But Kunlun and Miss Hong were increasingly in disbelief.

"Uncle Ming?"

"Are you talking about the Mr. Zhou who taught Kunlun?"

The red girl stared at Huamaguai outside her with wide eyes.

Because of her cold and arrogant temper.

On weekdays, no matter whether in Zhuangzi or on the mountain, strangers are kept away from each other and rarely interact with people.

At most, he can chat with Kunlun and Guaizi for a few words.

But she still knew about Zhou Mingyue.

The shopkeeper invited the gentleman to teach Kunlun and Yuan Hongmeng.

I have met him several times in Zhuangzi before. He is about forty years old. He looks elegant, easy-going, and speaks well. He does not look like he comes from a poor family, but looks like a down-and-out scholar.

She believed that he was full of poems and books, but said that he taught kidnappers to practice martial arts, which sounded mysterious.

Exactly.

Huamaguai nodded without even thinking about it.

"It's him."

"Mr. Zhou..."

At this time, even Kunlun couldn't believe it.

"Okay, let's go to the village to talk about anything. After running around for a day, go back and have a good rest."

Chen Yulou interrupted the conversation between several people.

In fact, before the kidnapper spoke, several figures appeared in his mind.

Such as Uncle Yu, Uncle Liu, Uncle Feng, and Uncle Thirteen.

They are all elders of the previous generation of the Chen family.

Especially the last three, when their father passed away and the entire Chenjiazhuang and Changsheng Mountain were handed over to him, it was the three uncles who fought with their lives to stop the rumors in the world.

It can be said that it bought him a few years.

Watch him take on the burden yourself.

The three of them are all real veterans, but they were injured too much when they were young, and now they are all retiring in the village.

As for Uncle Yu, he is the most unfathomable one.

According to Chen Yulou, although Uncle Yu’s name contains the character for fish, he definitely has the aura of a tiger and a leopard.

Who would underestimate the old man who takes a nap all day long?

It will definitely bring disaster to yourself.

But even he didn't expect that it would be Zhou Mingyue who pointed out the kidnapper.

However, if you think about it, it’s actually normal.

As a descendant of the Zhou family.

Observing celestial phenomena, distinguishing yin and yang, exorcising gods and ghosts are all trivial, let alone instructing Huamaguai to practice martial arts?

However, with Zhou Mingyue's ability, he definitely knew about the drunken blunder in Guanyun Tower that day, and the fact that he asked Uncle Yu to find someone to keep an eye on him couldn't be hidden from him.

He thought he would reveal his identity.

I will take advantage of these few months to leave quietly.

The Zhou family has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years.

Although there is no enmity between Yin Yang Duan Gong and Xi Ling Li Shi, they are both in the Jianghu world. In the past, they didn't know how things were going, but after their identities were exposed, they looked up but could not see each other and looked down.

Unthinkable.

Zhou Mingyue is interesting.

Not only did he not leave, but he actually lived like a normal person in Chenjiazhuang, living from sunrise to sunset.

Now he is giving guidance to Huamaguai.

and so……

He must be trying to express something through this.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Seeing the shopkeeper's words, the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle, as well as the rest of the Xiling staff were all there.

Even though Kunlun and Miss Hong were full of suspicion, they couldn't continue to ask questions.

I had to swallow this matter back in my stomach for the time being.

On the contrary, Huamaguai didn't have much surprise.

Before the shopkeeper left that day.

Zeng told him two things.

One is staring at the warlords on the border of Xiangyin, and the other is Zhou Mingyue.

The shopkeeper has been gone for several months.

Luo Laowai and the other three never took action again, and everything was calm.

The same is true for Zhou Mingyue.

Instruct him that night.

The kidnapper went to find Uncle Yu.

His elders just shook their heads and said it was okay, letting him practice martial arts in peace.

otherwise.

Do you really think that he is a kidnapper and all your worries are in vain?

But Zhou Mingyue has the slightest dissatisfaction.

He would never survive today.

Thinking of this, Huamaguai put away the coldness in his heart and smiled again on his face.

"The shopkeeper, when the kidnapper came out, he had already asked the kitchen to prepare food. You can eat it when you enter the village."

"In addition... I have specially prepared several jars of twenty-year-old green bamboo for you, the shopkeeper."

Hear the last two words.

A trace of fluctuation finally appeared in Chen Yulou's eyes that were as deep as a deep pool.

I was away for several months and drank a lot.

But after drinking, what he missed most was the green bamboo lamp in Xiangyin City.

"The kidnapper still understands me."

"Let's go back to the village first. The shopkeeper, I've been craving this bite for a long time."
