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

Chapter 234: Plan before taking action if you want to achieve great things

"I see……"

Hear this explanation.

Partridge Whistle's tense mind finally relaxed a little.

just.

How could he imagine it?

Kunlun Shrine and Jingjue Ancient City have long been in his plans.

Not to mention the utensils, gold, silver and chalcedony everywhere.

The jade eyeball in the ancient city is definitely one of the goals of his trip.

As an imitation of the Muchen Bead by the Zagrama clan, although it is not a real Phoenix Courage and cannot be seen for a long time, the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom after the Zagrama clan accidentally discovered another ability of it.

That is to summon the black snake.

There is another reason why Chen Yulou is determined to win it.

He was going to use that eyeball to try to hide the truth.

Fooled the snake god.

The real Muchen Bead is the Eye of the Snake God, the undisputed number one divine object in the world of ghost blowing lanterns.

How could you miss it so easily?
As for the land of the Divine Palace, although it is dangerous and full of evil spirits, to him, it is no different from a cave in the world of immortals.

"Then... I'll just trouble Brother Chen."

He hesitated for a moment.

Partridge Whistle cupped his hands and bowed in thanks.

Although their clan has only been searching for the Muchen Bead for a thousand years, the history of the Zagrama clan is extremely long, dating back to the era before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

They appeared in the Ghost Cave later than the Demon Kingdom, but much earlier than the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom.

The past four or five thousand years ago.

Even though the family members passed it down orally from generation to generation, he had never been back due to the vicissitudes of life and the changing world. He was really not sure what had become of his ancestral land.
As for Chen Yulou, Wulu's strength, means, character, and vision are all far beyond his own.

If only he was there to help.

The possibility of breaking the ghost curse can be increased by at least 30 to 50%.

However, he felt really sorry.

After all, before this, he had almost all been responsible for finding the Muchen Bead and entering the Qi Refining Pass.

Chenjiazhuang and Changsheng Mountain are busy with affairs.

How could I be embarrassed to bother him with everything?

"What's the trouble?"

"Brother Taoist, have you forgotten what happened at Dongting Lake many years ago?"

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

It is precisely because he knows the character of Partridge Whistle.

That's why he took a step back, which was considered a step up.

Dongting Lake?
Hear these three words.

Partridge Whistle's eyes flashed, and countless lights and shadows seemed to appear in the depths of his mind, and finally the picture was frozen.

That year, the previous generation of Taoist Banshan passed away, and the old foreigner and Hua Ling were still young, so the entire search for pearls in Zagrama fell on his shoulders.

Partridge Whistle deeply felt that if things continued like this, it would be difficult to find the Muchen Bead even in his lifetime.

Therefore, he resolutely broke the rule set by senior Bishan not to think about it with outsiders, and chose to cooperate with Xiling.

Interconnection.

Inquire for information.

It was that time when he and Chen Yulou burned incense and worshiped each other by the Dongting Lake.

At this moment, hearing him mention it, the dusty memories in my mind suddenly surged up.

"correct……"

Chen Yulou thought of something again and asked curiously.

"Brother Taoist, when you set out for Kunlun Mountain this time, why don't you go back to your clan?"

It stands to reason.

Before going to Zhelong Mountain, I have to go back and worship.

Isn’t it necessary to go back to Zagrama Mountain, the ancestral land of their clan’s holy mountain?
"Last time we left, the three of us, brothers and sisters, have brought most of the relics. The ancestral temple in the back mountain has also been sealed. Even if someone breaks in unintentionally, it will not be destroyed."

Partridge Whistle shook his head.

Why didn't he want to go back?

It has been twenty years since he was a teenager and followed the previous Taoist Master Banshan, and it has been twenty years since he was a teenager, and it has held so many memories for him.

But the curse lasts for a day.

Going back can only be a long-cherished wish.

"That's it."

Only then did Chen Yulou understand.

No more questions.

Walked along the long embankment of the lake.

The two chatted about their thoughts for another sixteen words.

Before he knew it, he had arrived outside the Guanyun Tower. The partridge whistle stopped staying any longer, saying that he would take advantage of the time before departure to practice in seclusion.

The stakes are high.

Naturally, Chen Yulou would not stand in the way.

In fact, he also knew that the previous scene was undoubtedly stressful for everyone.

But at the same time, the road he walked on was like lighting a lamp in the vast night.

The journey of cultivating Taoism is like climbing a mountain at night.

Every step is extremely difficult.

With him lighting the lamp, the roadless partridge whistle, the old foreigner, the flower spirit, and the red girl all have a direction.

"Brother Dao, you must calculate your time well."

"As late as half a month, as early as ten days, we will set off."

"Brother Chen, don't worry."

Partridge Whistle nodded heavily.

This matter is of great importance. It can be said to be his biggest wish in this life, so why would his schedule be delayed due to seclusion and practice.

His tall and thin back disappeared between the white walls of Uwa.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yulou did not open the door and enter the building, but walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Not long after.

Wait until he passes through the moon cave door.

The lush and lush yard in the past has now withered a lot due to the onset of autumn, and is no longer as vibrant as it once was.

"Owner……"

Walking on the forest path.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the front.

Looking closely, a figure in a long gown was sitting cross-legged in the ancient pavilion.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Yuan Hong?

It was completely different from the first time I saw it at Pingshan.

Now, instead of having white hair on his body, he behaves almost like a human being.

Even if you look closely at his profile, he gradually looks more like a human being.

The most amazing thing is.

When it was in Pingshan, it had already lived for decades, and when converted into an adult, it was definitely at the end of its life.

But after entering the practice, I felt like I had returned to my old self and returned to my true nature.

His eyes were burning, his divine light restrained.

It doesn't look like he's in his twilight years at all.

"Huh? Thirteen yuan."

Chen Yulou nodded casually.

But when he glanced at Yuan Hong, he found that it was full of demonic power, with streaks of black gold light floating on its chest.

Last time we set out in front of Kuanglu Mountain.

Only then did he refine three or five mandrill bones.

Unexpectedly, after this retreat, the progress would be so amazing.

"Yes……"

"Fourteen yuan should be about the same these days."

Yuan Hong responded softly.

He looked neither surprised nor happy.

Even a little restless.

"Practice pays attention to step by step... There is no need to worry too much, this speed of practice is enough to be proud of."

"Thinking too much and looking forward and backward can easily lead to a pessimistic mind, which is of no benefit to practice."

Chen Yulou knew what was going on as soon as he saw it.

I have experienced the panic and thunder in Chenjiazhuang before.

It's clearly stressful.

Hear these words.

Yuan Hong felt his heart shake.

The words the master said that day seemed to ring in my ears again.

Subdue the ape of mind and tie the horse of mind.

In an instant, the confusion in its eyes disappeared, leaving only a trace of determination.

"Yes, Master, Yuan Hong understands."

"After some time, we will set off for the Kunlun Mountains. If you follow us then, you may have a chance."

"Kunlun Mountains?!"

Yuan Hong's eyes lit up.

Although he was born as an ape, today he has read hundreds of books and traveled thousands of miles. His knowledge and vision are beyond the reach of human beings.

How can we not know the weight of these three words Kunlun Mountain?

The ancestor of all mountains and the abode of immortals.

"Yes, Master, Yuan Hong has noted it down."

Without thinking, Yuan Hong quickly agreed. Don’t say anything else.

When did the master set out on a journey, whether it was Pingshan Mountain or Zhelong Mountain, did he not reap a full harvest?

It seems like fighting for gold.

But there are also countless opportunities for practice.

Not to mention, now that he has personally said that there will be a chance, he can imagine it with his monkey brain, which is definitely a great thing.

If you don't agree, you are out of your mind.

"Okay, practice well."

Hearing the excitement in its tone, Chen Yulou knew what Yuan Hong had guessed.

As people age, they become more refined.

What's more, it itself is a mountain spirit.

After saying a few words, Chen Yulou walked around the ancient pavilion and continued to walk to the backyard.

Walking through the bamboo forest, you can see Kunlun's figure like a bow from a distance, practicing every move carefully.

Luofu is standing on the rockery.

Seems to be judgmental.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Inside and outside Zhuangzi, Kunlun was probably the only one who treated Luofu as a human being, and the latter, besides him, the one he trusted the most was Kunlun.

"cough……"

Watched for a moment.

Chen Yulou coughed slightly and walked out from behind the partition wall with his hands behind his back.

"The shopkeeper's."

Seeing that it was him, Kunlun immediately stopped his efforts and grinned.

Luofu also looked surprised.

It turned into a stream of light and instantly fell from the rockery mountaintop to his shoulders.

"Kunlun, do something for me these days."

"Please give me the shopkeeper's orders."

"Take Luofu to the foot of Shijun Mountain, and use the fire dragon to condense the fire. Remember... you go alone, and you won't be heard."

Hearing this, Kunlun suddenly understood.

Luofu is a phoenix and is gifted with fire, but after all, he has never completely transformed into his ancestors. In the previous fights, he relied more on his speed and sharp claws.

As for the Hundred-foot Fire Dragon at the foot of Shijun Mountain, it hardly has much use except for refining weapons.

To people.

The fire dragon is difficult to approach.

But for Luofu, it is like a paradise in heaven.

"Okay, then I'll leave right away!"

"Remember, fifteen days at most, don't waste time."

Chen Yulou added another sentence.

This matter is so serious that he wouldn't worry about it as an ordinary guy.

The fire in the mountain was too heavy, and Huamaguai and Hongniang couldn't bear it.

Kunlun is undoubtedly the best choice.

Having said this, he gently tapped Luofu's head with his hand, "Did you hear that? I went to Shijun Mountain. Don't worry, try to refine the true fire as much as possible."

"When we get to Kunlun Mountain, I'll let you eat to your heart's content."

When saying this.

Countless mountain spirits and evil spirits flashed through Chen Yulou's mind.

Snow Maitreya, Spotted Jiao, Sin-eating Balu, Jingjian Agama, Di Guanyin, Silver Doll that extinguishes the lamp...

Luofu, who is connected with him.

How can I still not understand.

Immediately he flapped his wings and leapt onto Kunlun's shoulder.

A pair of eyes full of expectation.

The last time he ate the blood of a great goblin was under the curtain of an ancient building in Longtan Mountain.

"Then shopkeeper, I'm going right now."

Kunlun didn’t delay either.

He turned around and headed straight to the stables in Chenjiazhuang.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the mountain road. Chen Yulou, who had returned to Guanyun Tower, watched Kunlun and Luofu leave from a distance through the window.

Wait for them to disappear outside the vast mountains and forests.

He then retracted his gaze and turned to look at the map hanging on the wall beside him, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Where is Zagrama Mountain located.

He didn't know.

But the location of Jingjue Ancient City is roughly known.

Starting from Xiangyin and heading to the desert in the far west, it seems that we only need to cross the boundaries of Sichuan, Chongqing and Qinghai provinces, but the distance is at least thousands of kilometers.

I went to southern Yunnan before.

A one-way trip takes nearly two months.

After this trip, it takes at least half a year to prepare.

This is why he said before that he must do everything possible.

During the Republic of China, the biggest trouble was that the food, clothing and housing were fine, but the last line of writing was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The Western Region is even more barren and uninhabited.

Often, no family can be found within dozens of miles.

The ancient city of Jingjue is located in a vast desert. Apart from him, there is probably no one among the tens of thousands of people on Changsheng Mountain who has the concept of desert.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty.

Wind and sand, direction, loss of temperature, food, water source...

These are issues that must be considered, rather than just relying on enthusiasm. In that case, the greatest possibility is to be buried in the yellow sand in the sky.

Rubbed his eyebrows.

Even though I have already thought about my trip to Kunlun Mountains.

But when he was actually faced with it, he realized that it was almost impossible to cover everything.

Walk all the way to the stone room downstairs.

After a while.

In front of the desk, Chen Yulou quickly wrote down a page of words.

Nothing more than a medicine to treat sunburn and frostbite.

Before arriving in the desert, food is the least important factor to consider. You can replenish supplies along the way, but sufficient medicine must be prepared.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert can be despairingly large.

After a brief review, Chen Yulou put the paper aside with satisfaction.

If you plan to be late, let Guaizi prepare in advance.

Of course, these are only temporary, and there will definitely be supplements in the future, but half a month is enough.

Wrote these.

He took out another piece of calligraphy and painting paper.

Countless lights, shadows and images flashed through his mind.

After a long time, he drew two lines horizontally, representing the ancient channel of Kongque River. Then he went a little south and drew a stone statue, which represented the ruins of the road leading to the Black Desert.

Then a coffin was drawn in front.

That is the tomb of Prince Gumo under the ancient city of Xiye.

At this point, his thoughts became smoother and his pen tip fell on the calligraphy and painting paper faster and faster.

But even so.

By the time I put away my ink pen, half an hour had passed.

On the two-foot drawing paper, countless lines, even numbers, graphics, and English letters have been drawn at this moment.

If you are an outsider, you will never understand what he means.

But it simplifies the ancient city of Jingjue onto this square-sized page.

Since Pingshan, Chen Yulou has been accustomed to deciding the overall situation first and planning later.

In just one Kunlun Temple, there are countless dangerous monsters.

What's more, this trip will visit the ancient city of Jingjue, the Kunlun Temple, and the Snake God and Ghost Cave all in one.

Not absolutely sure.

It was in vain to go there.

With this template in hand, after taking a short rest, he took out another piece of drawing paper and began to make a simplified map of Kunlun Temple.

Time passed by minute by minute.

His whole mind was almost completely immersed in it.

It's not just him.

now.

Outside Guanyun Tower.

In a small courtyard dozens of meters away.

Partridge Whistle opened the bamboo basket and carefully found an atlas from the bottom.

Looks to be quite old.

The albums were already burred, old and yellowed, and even torn in many places, as if they would turn into a pile of scraps of paper if pressed hard.

But he regarded it as a precious treasure and moved as gently as possible for fear of causing damage.

Spread gently.

By the skylight outside the window.

It was clearly a hand-drawn map.

His fingers followed the winding curves all the way to the west, and his eyes finally stopped on a hill beside a river.

It was obviously just an ordinary sight.

But his eyes instantly turned red, and his jaw, hands, and even his whole body were trembling slightly.

"Kongque River, Shuangheishan..."
