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

Chapter 67 Guanyun Tower Retreat and Practice
  "Sent away?"

Chenjiazhuang inner city.

on a tall building.

Chen Yulou, who had already bathed, changed into a blue gown, lay on the bamboo chair, and swayed gently back and forth.

There is a cup of new tea from Mingqian on the coffee table.

Fingers clicked randomly.

It's like playing chess with people out of thin air, or like writing and painting.

Not far outside him, Huama sat on a bench.

Looking past the floating gauze curtain, he stared blankly at the mountains in the distance.

The setting sun shrouded the dense forest, and the clouds dyed the sky red.

Although I have been here countless times.

But every time it comes.

He still couldn't hide his surprise.

This Guanyun Tower was built when the old shopkeeper was still here.

There are six floors in total.

At that time, the whole of Xiangyin could not find any masters who could build high-rise buildings, so they sent people to the provincial capital to invite them.

Not only that.

He also went to the south to hire a master who was good at wood carving.

Inside and outside the building, there are carved beams and painted pillars, brackets and flying eaves, which are extremely luxurious.

It is said that when it was built, it caused a sensation in the entire Three Hunan and Four Rivers.

Countless people came to watch the ceremony.

It lasted three full days before and after the flowing water mat.

No invitation is needed, just congratulations and you can sit down and enjoy the meal.

And its original name was Jin Yu Tang.

Taken from Chen Yulou’s words.

It also has the meaning of metaphorizing the wealth of the Chen family.

And it deserves its name.

Within the six floors, there are countless collections of antiques, each of which is a rare treasure of infinite value.

In addition, the Jinyu Hall is also equipped with earth dragons and ice cellars.

Warm in winter and cool in summer.

It is extremely comfortable to live in it.

However, the shopkeeper has always been critical of this name.

Even half a year ago, he directly changed it into Guanyun Tower.

Of course others don't dare to have opinions.

However, the servants of the Chen family have long been accustomed to Jin Yutang, but they are not used to the elegant Guanyun Tower.

"Yes, it's the shopkeeper. I made a few random remarks, but he didn't dare to think too much about it."

Seeing him ask, Huamaguai looked away and replied with a smile.

"Next, it's best to give me some time to calm down."

Chen Yulou didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said coldly.

Viewed from memory.

Over the years, he has secretly supported three people.

But only Mr. Luo did the most crooked things, and he often came to Chenjiazhuang to fight in the autumn wind.

He had warned him before.

The kidnapper gave another warning.

If he is still the same as before and doesn't know how to restrain himself, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Anyway, that guy has more success than failure.

It would be better if someone else changed.

"Hey, shopkeeper, don't worry. Although Luo Laowai is reckless and irritable, he is still a bit shrewd. When he gets blown by the wind when he gets back, he should be able to wake up."

Huamaguai looks at people quite clearly.

In his opinion.

Luo Laowai doesn't have the big city, but he has some small tricks.

To put it bluntly, his ability cannot support his ambition at all.

That is to say, he was lucky enough to catch the shopkeeper's big ship, otherwise he would have been swallowed up to the point where no bones were left.

"Better so."

Chen Yulou nodded.

"By the way, Guaizi, if you have free time in the past two days, send a few trustworthy people along both sides of the Yuan River to find the current owner of Fengwo Mountain, named Yang Shuguo."

"Let's see if we can invite him to Zhuangzi for a few days."

"it is good."

Huamaguai wrote down the name carefully.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any other orders?"

"No, I will be in seclusion for the next few days, and I will leave the matters on the mountain to you and Hong Gu."

Chen Yulou waved his hand.

He still trusted the kidnapper's loyalty and ability.

"What about the bright artifacts brought back from this trip?"

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't mention it, Huamaguai cautiously reminded him.

"Are the channels at home still there?"

"He's still there. Several uncles have been guarding the shop."

Chen Yulou nodded, "That's fine."

"We have to make a clear distinction between the obvious items, whether to sell them in stores, or to deal with them through channels. You can come up with a countermeasure and just give me a look when the time comes."

Several generations of the Chen family started their careers by doing tricks.

After a hundred years of operation.

It is no longer the original banker's style.

From counties and roads to provincial capitals, Chen's stores are operating everywhere.

As for the buyers, they include all provinces and prefectures, and even Peking City, Shanghai Beach, and Hong Kong City.

After all, the name Chen family is a golden sign.

The uncle Huamaguai talks about.

Some are elders of the previous generation of the Chen family, and some are loyal associates who have worked in the Chen family for many years.

"Yes, the shopkeeper."

Hearing this, Huamaguai's heart finally dropped.

He is not afraid of the shopkeeper's rejection.

But he still has to take control of big things.

"Okay, you've been busy for a few days, go back and rest."

Chen Yulou waved his hand.

During the trip to Pingshan, I had calculated all my secrets and managed to save a few of them.

He didn't want to make people sick because of these things.

In the huge Changsheng Mountain, the kidnapper has to do all the big and small things for him.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

"Then I'll go back. If anything happens, just ask me."

Huamaguai didn't dare to disturb his rest.

He immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and walked all the way downstairs.

Soon.

Others appeared downstairs.

Chen Yulou stood at the window with his hands behind his hands, watching him rush to his residence along the path paved with bluestone slabs.

As the highest place in Zhuangzi.

He can see everything easily.

Now from his perspective, looking down, the entire Chenjiazhuang is like a piece of Nine Palaces and Bagua.

This was the suggestion of the Taoist priest who took him to the mountains to practice.

By mountains and rivers.

Take advantage of the terrain.

In the past, he didn't see much profound meaning, but now when he looks at it again, he just feels that the whole Zhuangzi is connected with the earth's energy at the bottom and the heavenly phenomena at the top.

All around, in all directions, each has its own aura.

The morning sun comes from the wind, and the night comes from the water.

The four words "situation and qi" are vividly interpreted.

As time passed by every minute.

As the sun sets and the night gets darker, the lights in the village gradually light up.

It's more than ten miles around.

It's like a city that never sleeps.

The night breeze was blowing gently. Standing on the high building, Chen Yulou felt that his mind was clear.

The slight feeling of dryness in my heart was swept away in an instant.

"Kunlun, let's go downstairs."

Look away from a distance.

Chen Yulou greeted.

At the entrance of the stairs, there was a tall figure guarding him.

Take Kunlun with you and descend with your hands behind your back.

Not long after, he appeared on the first floor, but instead of opening the door and leaving, he walked to a huge screen.

Although it is not carved from jade.

But we also hired craftsmen from Sichuan City to carve it carefully out of green bamboo, which is of astonishing value.

However, Chen Yulou only glanced at it casually, then walked straight around the screen to the back.

He reached out to a spot on the wall and pressed lightly.

There was a slight clicking sound.

It seems that some kind of machine expansion switch has been triggered.

The next moment, a dark hole appeared out of thin air on the water-polished tiles at his feet.

Sweeping down, a long staircase suddenly connected to the back.

The space underneath is huge.

There are lights everywhere, illuminating it as bright as day.

Others only think that Guanyun Tower has six floors, but in fact there is one underground floor.

Except for Kunlun, Guaizi and Honggu, almost no one knew about it.

And since discovering this place.

He directly regarded this place as a place of practice.

"Kunlun, guard the entrance. No one is allowed to disturb me without my order."

"Did you hear me?"

Seeing the stairs appear at your feet.

Chen Yulou glanced at the tall and majestic figure behind him and warned softly.

The latter just nodded heavily.

Seeing this, he walked down the escalator without further delay.

Wait for him to show up in the basement.

At a glance.    It is fully furnished.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an underground palace.

When the Jinyu Hall was first built.

The old shopkeeper thought about it, if the Chen family was in decline, there would be a big disaster, and soldiers and bandits would attack and kill them.

It’s really impossible to be punctual.

The descendants of the Chen family could still hide in it and escape the disaster.

It is based on this idea that this basement is simply a shelter.

What he can see now is just the tip of the iceberg.

There is also a secret door, which opens into a tunnel that connects the inside and outside of Zhuangzi.

It is said that in his cheap father's original idea, it would be best to build several structures similar to the troop transport roads, leading from Chenjiazhuang to Changsheng Mountain.

but.

It was eventually terminated because it was too costly in terms of manpower and material resources.

And he fuses memories.

When I saw this paragraph, I almost couldn't stand it.

I just feel that the cheap dad is more like a time traveler than him.

Have you experienced the end of the world?

That's why he has such strong resentment towards the asylum.

But I have to say, this place is really good.

There is no one to disturb you, you are quiet and free, and you are always prepared with enough food and water to last at least half a month.

It is simply the perfect place for retreat.

After walking through it, he stopped outside a pill furnace after a while.

That's right.

It's the one that was brought back from the Danjing in Pingshan.

Compared to being covered in dust for thousands of years in a dark well.

Now it has been cleaned from the inside out.

at this time.

Under the light of overhead lights.

Complex decorations of clouds and thunder, sun, moon, stars, birds and beasts emerge one by one, making it look more simple and heavy.

And on the other side.

But there is a conspicuous blank space.

The traces look like the shape of a mirror.

Chen Yulou sighed secretly.

The scene I saw in the Sutra Cave that day seemed to reappear in my mind.

Today's alchemy furnace is completely different from its original style.

From that faint luster, he suddenly felt like the world has changed.

For thousands of years.

Fated.

As of today, it can't even maintain its original appearance.

"There are also hexagram mirrors and fish and dragon talismans."

"The dragon talisman is quite simple."

"It's the fish talisman and the hexagram mirror. It's as difficult as climbing to heaven to find them."

He didn't know how long it took before he slowly woke up from his daze and murmured to himself.

And the reason why he wants to find the One Mirror and Four Talismans so strongly.

Of course it’s not a collection habit.

Chen Yulou is not that boring yet.

It is purely because of the ability of One Mirror and Four Talismans that is difficult to copy.

Divination by candlelight in the mirror reveals the secrets of heaven!
  The secret of heaven seems to be illusory, but in the world of ghosts blowing lanterns, it seems to have traces and always exists.

In particular, the path to immortality he sought was going against nature.

If he could survey the secrets of heaven, it would definitely be of great benefit to his practice.

"hold on."

"Zhelong Mountain, Kunlun Temple, Baiyan Cave, Dixian Village... I have to go to Guixu Land in the future."

I silently calculated the process in my mind.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but let out a long breath.

It has been more than half a year since I traveled through this journey, and now I have just passed through a bottle mountain. The road ahead is really long and difficult.

This alchemy furnace.

It shouldn't be needed for a while.

His initial idea was to bring it back to make elixirs.

But the Four Arts of Cultivation are not that simple.

Everything needs to take time to be polished slowly.

Shaking his head and not thinking more, Chen Yulou turned to the desk not far away.

Paper, ink and pen.

Paperweight and pen holder.

They are all deliberately crafted and carefully crafted.

The depth of the Chen family’s heritage can be seen from this.

But his gaze did not stop, but looked across the desk to the shelves of books behind it.

Originally, it was filled with rare curios.

However, he put them away, and now there are countless jade boxes on the shelf.

That's right.

In addition to the hundred-year-old elixir collected from Yaobi.

He also brought back all the treasures and inner elixirs stored in the four exposed pavilions of the Yunzang Palace.

It's a pity that thousands of years have passed.

Most of the elixirs in the Lu Pavilion have lost their potency seriously.

Not even one out of ten can be used.

But the amount brought back was also extremely surprising.

Along the way, he also thought about the Taoist palaces in the hinterland of Pingshan, since they continued into the Song Dynasty.

It was most likely built by the Taojun emperor.

Among the 18 emperors in the two Song dynasties, he was the only one who paid special attention to taking elixirs for immortality, even to the point of obsession.

After all, in order to build a Gen Yue and build a large-scale Huashi Gang, the fate of the country was almost ruined.

He is definitely the first in history.

With Gen Yue at the front, overhauling the Pingshan Taoist Palace seems to be nothing.

He took a jade box and opened it.

A palm-sized piece of blue-black Ganoderma lucidum lay quietly in it.

Although thousands of years have passed, almost half of the medicinal power is still there.

The vegetation aura in it is extremely rich.

Then he picked up a few jade boxes, either old wild ginseng or shaped polygonum multiflorum, both of which were rare treasures in the world.

"It seems like I really have to thank the Dao Lord Emperor."

The corner of Chen Yulou's mouth curled up, and he shook his head and smiled.

not him.

Where can I get so many spiritual herbs at once?
  Immediately, he did not delay.

Like a diligent medicine farmer, he sorts the elixirs on the shelf into categories.

It took almost two hours to finally finish sorting it out.

Although he is not very proficient in pharmacology.

But Chen Yulou has abilities that ordinary people cannot imagine.

What he practices is Aoki Kung Fu.

For plants and trees, the spiritual energy contained in them is the most sensitive.

The stronger the spiritual energy, the stronger the medicinal power.

At this moment, he divided the three ancient shelves behind the desk into first, second and third grades from high to low.

The third level spiritual energy is the thinnest.

Most of them are precious medicines that have seriously lost their medicinal power and are on the verge of destruction.

Second class is the next best thing.

The first grade is the best and the quantity is the least.

In addition to the old medicine collected from more than 30 medicine walls, only seven were picked out from Luge's collection.

And the most astonishing one of them.

Just the jade box that holds the medicinal stones is extremely luxurious.

Use a whole piece of mutton fat white jade to carve it into the shape of a jade letter.

The whole body is covered with colorful lacquer paintings, all of which are auspicious patterns of pines, cranes and fairy grass.

Then seal it with fire paint and wrap it with gold thread.

Even Chen Yulou was amazed when he saw it.

After finally opening it, I found that it was divided into five compartments, which contained spiritual objects and inner elixirs.

Snake eyes, turtle treasures, lion claws, and the rest even he had never heard of.

But there is a lot of spiritual energy in every inner elixir.

All are comparable to the formed Polygonum multiflorum.

"Pingshan started from the Qin Dynasty to the end of the Song Dynasty, which lasted for at least a thousand or hundreds of years."

"How many treasures of heaven and earth must have been burned..."

Chen Yulou held his forehead and sighed.

Then, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Those warlocks and Taoists are really trashing things.

If this were given to him, he would be able to ascend in a day.

but.

Random thoughts turn into blind speculation.

Chen Yulou did not dare to delay his practice.

He immediately took a piece of Polygonum multiflorum and took the jade letter with him.

He found an open space and sat down cross-legged.

The lights above him were as bright as the sun, covering him.

Holding one's breath and concentrating, the whole person's thoughts began to empty out, and the whole person gradually entered into concentration.

Run Aoki Kung.

Wait until the moment when your mind is as clear as water and there are no more distracting thoughts.

He just picked out a turtle treasure, raised his head and swallowed it in one gulp.

boom--

The majestic and complex spiritual power instantly turned into a great tide and rushed towards the limbs and veins.

Others are like a pill furnace.

Water and fire are tempered together.

Refining the spiritual power in the turtle treasure bit by bit, turning it into pure spiritual liquid, and slowly returning it to the sea of ​​​​qi.

Time suddenly passed.

Only that face under the firelight became more and more transparent!
