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

Cheers spread.

Chen Yulou and his group were startled and quickly got up from the sand valley.

Even Pat, who had always been thinking about taking care of camels, could not hide his surprise on his face. He picked up a wooden stick and followed everyone up the sand dunes.

Supported by several young guys, he finally reached the top. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his panting, stretched out his hands to make a shed, and gazed into the distance.

All I saw was the undulating horizon to the end.

A black line appeared faintly.

Unfortunately, he is old and his eyesight is blurry, so he can't see clearly.

"It's not an illusion..."

Pat muttered under his breath.

He rubbed his eyes hard a few more times.

After the wind and snow, the weather became clearer. The sunshine, which had disappeared for more than half a month, became scorching, and it gave me a rare warm feeling on my body.

Wipe away the dust on your face.

Eyes widened.

After a long time, Pat finally saw the black line clearly.

I just felt that in the vast yellow sand, there seemed to be a black dragon lying quietly, and the mountains were moving towards the middle from both sides, and finally rising from the ground to form two high mountains.

Between the two mountains, it seems like there is a gate to heaven.

It gives people an incomparable sense of mystery.

I couldn't help but want to cross the Heavenly Gate and go to the sacred mountain to find out what was going on.

He stayed in Kunmo City for decades.

Although this was my first time in the Black Desert, I had heard countless rumors about it over the years.

Whenever the merchants mentioned it, they always had endless stories to tell.

It’s been a long time.

Even Pat himself couldn't tell what was true and what was false.

So much so that when he looked at the undulating black mountains in the sky, he wondered if he had fallen into the devil's illusion.

Among many rumors.

The most widely circulated saying is.

The people who once lived in the Black Desert angered the gods, were abandoned by them, lost their vitality, and became the abode of demons.

And once someone rashly breaks in.

The devil will target you.

They will try every possible means, using all kinds of terrifying means, to prevent outsiders from entering the desert.

Man-eating beasts and murderous creatures.

But the most terrifying thing is the impenetrable mirage.

Just before death, many people will see many wonders such as oases, big lakes, ancient cities, etc.

Give hope to the dying.

But when they get closer after going through untold hardships, they will find that everything is a false illusion, an illusion that leads people completely to the abyss of death.

Therefore.

Only then would Pat doubt whether what he was seeing was real.
But he was still undecided. The three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle, who had come up first, were looking at the two black mountains and were shaking with excitement.

Holy mountain!

A scene that has appeared in my dreams countless times.

This moment is really happening before my eyes.

It's hard to empathize unless you're in it.

"Double Black Mountain."

"Brother...it's this."

“We finally found it!”

Hua Ling covered her lips. She thought she was strong enough, but the moment she really saw it, she found that she had no control over her emotions and the hot tears could not stop falling.

The old foreigner standing aside seemed calm.

But his red eyes and shaking shoulders clearly revealed what he was feeling at the moment.

The holy mountain I have heard about since childhood.

He never thought that one day he would set foot here.

From Peacock River and Shuanghei Mountain to Peacock Mountain and Shuanghei Village.

The once prosperous tribe is now nothing but a dead, desolate and deserted ghost village.

At this moment, his heart was surging, as if countless waves were hitting him.

Countless figures appeared in his mind.

Finally, it stopped on the thin, stern face of the senior brother.

Ever since the previous Taoist monk passed away, he has been the only one supporting the family for so many years.

The suffering they had endured was far beyond their imagination.

So after leaving the village, the old foreigner practiced martial arts desperately, studied the many secret methods of moving mountains, and took the initiative to undertake the task of exploring the way to the tomb.

I just want to share some of the burden with my brother.

But even so, he witnessed many times the scene where his senior brother was seriously injured, unable to suppress the ghost curse, and vomiting blood.

Especially before entering Pingshan.

The curse breaks out more and more frequently.

The vomited blood also changed from scarlet to golden.

As a result, he couldn't fall asleep during that period of time. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see the scene of his senior brother's death. It was like a nightmare haunting him.

But, the senior brother thought he knew nothing, or he just didn't want to make him and Hua Ling worry.

Every time I pretend nothing happened.

But the old foreigner knew... if it weren't for the golden elixir that allowed him to practice and enter the state, the ghost curse on his senior brother would have probably erupted completely long ago.

This is also the reason why he respects Chen Yulou so much.

For this day, Zagrama's ancestors have waited for thousands of years, and the senior brother has also suffered for thousands of days and nights.

Now, I have finally survived all the darkness and seen the light.

The old foreigner clenched his fists tightly.

Trying hard not to let the tears fall from your eyes.

"Yes."

“Found it!”

After a long silence, Partridge Whistle finally let out a long sigh.

He looked deeply at the two high mountains on the horizon.

I felt like the heartstrings that had been tense for a lifetime finally relaxed a little at this moment.

"Really?"

Kunlun, Yang Fang, Hua Maguai and Hong Girl were the four people who didn't dare to speak.

When we heard his words, we all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and were happy for them from the bottom of our hearts.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Boss, Chief Yang, I will go and get the brothers to set off right away!"

Hua Maguai rubbed his hands and said impatiently.

"it is good!"

Chen Yulou naturally would not refuse.

But Partridge Whistle shook his head, "The brothers have been busy these past few days, and they are exhausted both physically and mentally. Let them have a good rest first."

“After all, the Twin Black Mountains are there, and they won’t disappear.”

"Is not it?"

He pursed his lips and looked calm.

Chen Yulou also looked at him in surprise.

Be calm in every big event.

These words are easy to say, but difficult to do.

If he were Partridge Whistle, it would be difficult for him to remain so peaceful even though the holy mountain he longed for was so close.

"This……"

Hua Maguai, who was about to turn around and go down the mountain, paused and turned around subconsciously. His eyes glanced back and forth between him and Chen Yulou, and he was obviously undecided.

"Since Brother Yang said so."

"Then let the brothers have a good rest and regain their energy before taking action."

Putting his thoughts aside, Chen Yulou waved his hand at him, "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

After hearing this, Hua Maguai retracted his thought.

The group did not rush back, but stood on the sand dunes, silently looking into the distance, admiring the desert scenery in winter.

Gradually, Hua Ling and the old foreigner finally calmed down.

But the joy on his face was still evident.

While they were resting, Chen Yulou walked alone among the sand dunes, but his mind was connected with Luofu again after many days.

If it weren’t for the spiritual seed pulling it.

You can always sense its movements.

Chen Yulou even suspected that it had already crossed the Black Desert and headed for the Kunlun Mountains.

At this moment, a thought is sent.

Soon, a black shadow as thin as sand appeared in the endless blue sky.

I was just about to send it to explore outside the Shuanghei Mountains.

But before he opened his mouth, a strange look suddenly flashed across his face. In addition to Luo Fu's figure in the sky, there were clearly several dark shadows on the side.

Looking carefully, they were clearly the goshawks that I had seen when I passed through Tianshan Mountains before.

They are the absolute overlords of the sky in the entire Western Regions.

Even if the argali, which lives on the snow line all year round, can escape the pursuit of snow leopards, it cannot avoid being hunted by goshawks.

But at this moment, looking at the flight paths of those goshawks, they were clearly roaming for Luofu.

Seeing this scene, even Chen Yulou, who knew Luofu's character very well, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I know this guy is getting wilder and wilder.

But he really didn't expect it to be so wild.

There has been a tradition of training eagles since ancient times. This is because eagles are birds of prey that are wild and difficult to tame by nature. Therefore, even for the most experienced falconer, it would be difficult to tame a wild eagle without a year or so.

You have to take time to slowly simmer it down.

This is how the term "熬鹰" came into being.

But Chen Yulou had just seen it a few days ago in Gumo Prefecture, and it was alone at that time.

In other words.

In just a few days, how many goshawks did it capture by force?

It's easy to guess that with Luofu's overbearing personality, he definitely doesn't have that much patience to tame him slowly, and it's likely that he will suppress him directly with his Phoenix bloodline.

For a moment, even he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for those goshawks.

However, this thought did not last long.

He exhaled and conveyed his thoughts.

Soon, a clear cry of birds came into my mind.

Looking up again, several black shadows quickly disappeared above my head and headed straight for the Twin Black Mountains in the distance.

As the lair of the snake god.

Chen Yulou knew better than anyone how terrifying the Twin Black Mountains were.

Ordinary people, with their five senses and six consciousnesses closed, would not be able to feel the terrifying power of heaven. However, the stronger their strength and the higher their cultivation, the greater the pressure they would feel.

There are already three feathers growing behind Luofu's tail.

This also means that the Phoenix bloodline has awakened to an extremely deep level.

If you force your way onto the Twin Black Mountains.

The repressive force from the remains of the snake god will definitely seriously injure it.

Although the snake god is dead, the ability to transform the world in his mind has not disappeared. The ghost cave where his bones are buried is equivalent to a desolate place.

No matter how strong Luofu is, he can never be its opponent.

So, the order Chen Yulou gave it was to spy.

And Luo Fu was smart. With the help of his spirit seed, he could see that it was clearly dozens of meters behind and drove the three goshawks forward to do its job.

"The shopkeeper..."

While he was still immersed in the novel experience of Luofu's perspective.

Hua Maguai's voice came.

A ray of golden light disappeared from Chen Yulou's eyes, and instantly became clear.

"It's almost time to rest."

"Should we set off now?"

Hearing this, Chen Yulou subconsciously turned around and looked. At the bottom of the sand dune, the guys who were originally sitting anywhere, drinking naan and drinking water to replenish their energy, had already stood up.

It took about half an hour.

By now, most of his energy had been restored, and he was looking at their group on the top of the mountain waiting for orders.

"Departure."

"it is good!"

After getting the accurate reply, Hua Maguai couldn't stop smiling.

He was not too curious about the Shuanghei Mountains, but... the ancient city of Jingjue was just at the foot of the mountain.

A regime that ruled the Western Regions for many years.

Even if it's just a small country.

But the city must also be extremely luxurious.

This can be seen from Xiye and Gumozhou.

As long as the ancient city of Jingjue is excavated, this trip to the Western Regions will not be in vain. Who knows, one round trip may be worth several years of hard work in previous years.

After all, apart from the imperial tombs, even in the large tombs of the Tang and Song dynasties where lavish burials were prevalent, the treasures hidden in a tomb could not be comparable to those in a city.

"Brothers, let's go!"

He took a few quick steps forward.

Hua Maguai couldn't help but shout.

In an instant, the sand valley was filled with shouts like thunder. The people who had stopped and waited jumped onto the backs of camels, crossed the sand dunes, and headed towards the black mountains in the distance.

Looking from the sand dunes, it seems to be only thirty or fifty miles away.

But a horse will die if it runs too fast.

The team set out at three o'clock in the afternoon and did not finally reach the holy mountain until dark.

It is hard to imagine that a series of rolling mountains would suddenly appear in the endless sea of ​​sand.

Chen Yulou, sitting on the camel's back, looked calm. He had asked Luofu to survey the area in advance before setting out.

Although it was previously speculated that someone had entered the city early, no living person was detected.

By the light of the sky which had not yet completely disappeared.

It can still be clearly seen that the twin black mountains, which are regarded as sacred by the Zagrama people, are more like two huge stones than mountains.

But it's really a bit exaggerated.

It occupies an area of ​​tens of kilometers, with only a shallow ridge exposed in the sea of ​​sand. The entire area is like the tip of an iceberg, submerged deep in the sea of ​​sand.

"Oona, which direction is the ancient city?"

Chen Yulou looked around.

Although I feel that Shuanghei Mountain is a bit unworthy of its name, from the perspective of Feng Shui, this place has the best geographical location and is all-encompassing. It is no worse than the 800-mile dragon vein that was visible from a distance when we crossed the Qinling Mountains that day.

This is because the environment is too harsh and it is too far away from the Central Plains dynasty.

otherwise.

Judging from the dragon vein pattern of this place, it may be another Mount Li or Mount Jiuyi.

Taking his eyes away from the two black magnetic mountains, Chen Yulou turned to look at Una behind him and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, her eyes were full of memories.

It seemed that I was reminded of the shock I felt when I first saw the Twin Black Mountains with Ata across the vast black desert many years ago.

"On the southern slope."

Seeing her ask, Una raised her hand and pointed in a direction.

Chen Yulou didn’t waste any time either.

It is getting dark now, so we must make plans early and setting up camp in the city is the top priority.

Partridge Whistle obviously knew this very well, so he suppressed his impulse and followed the team around the mountain.

About ten minutes later.

When the last ray of sunset fell below the horizon of the sand sea.

A huge ancient city, like a girl holding a pipa with her face half covered, finally took off the veil on her face and suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

Look up.

Countless ruins, towers and high walls are rooted in the yellow sand.

The most eye-catching one is a tilted black stone tower.

For some reason, the moment he saw it, Chen Yulou inexplicably thought of the Guping Mountain, which was also crooked and inserted horizontally among countless green mountains like bamboo shoots.

“How magnificent!”

"This is the capital city. The previous Xiye and Gumozhou were too petty."

"Damn, how big must this be? Can it accommodate 100,000 people?"

Although most of the ancient city of Jingjue has collapsed and weathered after thousands of years of wind and sand erosion, one can still get a glimpse of its former grandeur from the numerous ancient buildings.

The guys' eyes widened.

They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This was the first real ancient city they saw after entering the desert.

Looking at the undulating city walls in the sand dunes, the outer and inner cities together are at least dozens of miles in radius, which is no worse than the ancient cities of the Central Plains dynasties.

"Let's go, let's go into the city."

After a brief shock, Hua Maguai led a small team into the city to investigate the situation.

Everyone held a torch in his hand.

From a distance, it looked like a fire dragon traveling through the darkness.

only……

Just approaching the outskirts of the city, not yet able to enter.

The smile on Hua Maguai's face froze, his heart beat like thunder, and he looked more terrified than if he had seen a ghost.

I saw.

Not far ahead.

The ancient city gate collapsed and only half of it remained.

There were thirteen corpses hanging on the gate tower, and the bodies had dried up.

They had blue eyes and curly hair, and were clearly foreigners like the ones we met outside Xiye City that day.

At this moment, it is swaying gently in the night breeze.

Just like... Every household in Xiangxi would smoke bacon during the New Year and hang it in a row on the beams! (End of this chapter)
