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

Chapter 96: Turtles in the Laobie River of the Yellow River

Bamoapu was still talking nonchalantly.

Those last few words.

It also explains something invisibly.

That's why he has bumped into the river god several times over the years while boating and walking on the water, but he is still in awe of it.

However, at this moment, Chen Yulou was already in a daze.

If I remember correctly.

Fuxian Lake is mentioned in one volume of Makino's Strange Stories.

Mirage zombie village, fake and difficult to distinguish.

There is a sunken ancient city under Fuxian Lake.

Trapped countless dead souls.

Those bones were difficult to leave and gradually turned into rigor mortis in the water.

From this point of view, there is an extremely huge difference between what Bamo said.

"The magic of round light? Or the universe in the mirror?"

Chen Yulou frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.

Bamo said so confidently that for a while, even he did not dare to confirm whether this Yi Apu had encountered a mirage or if it was indeed the case.

"The leader of the ship, thank you for letting me know."

"We are outsiders and don't know much about the taboos here, so please be patient."

Seeing that Bamo wanted to get up and leave.

Chen Yulou quickly put away those messy thoughts.

He cupped his hands and said warmly.

"No problem, but..."

Bamo held his hookah behind his back and shook his head. He seemed to have thought of something again and hesitated before speaking.

"Next time if you encounter one again, be sure not to yell or yell, as this might startle the river god, or something could happen easily."

After saying that, he hunched over and walked away.

Bamo is in his fifties.

However, year-round exposure to wind and sun, traveling on rivers and boats, made him look more than ten years older than ordinary people.

He has dark skin, a patch of white hair, and is not tall.

But I don’t know why, but it can give people an indescribable sense of trust.

Wait until he returns to the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, there were only six of them left on the deck. Looking far into the distance, the sky became blue again.

After passing that dangerous shoal, the water became much calmer and there were no more bumps as before.

Several people subconsciously glanced at the waves behind the stern of the boat.

Where is the shadow of the River God?

Even the red blood stains were washed away by the river.

Partridge Whistle secretly let out a foul breath.

I just feel that my anxious heart has calmed down a lot.

But I can't hide my guilt in my heart.

If the monster just now had really attempted to capsize the boat, it seemed that there would be no other option but to fight to the death.

To him, this was an unforgivable miss.

"Brother Chen?"

Secretly remind yourself that there will be no next time.

Then he spoke softly.

"Let's go down and talk."

Chen Yulou knew what he wanted to ask.

But there were people coming and going on the deck, so it was not a place for talking.

What's more, he still has a few things he doesn't understand in his heart.

"it is good."

Partridge Whistle nodded.

The group of people no longer wanted to take a breather, and quickly walked along the stairs back to the room on the second floor of the cabin.

As soon as I sat down.

All eyes of several people fell on Chen Yulou.

It was obvious that they were too curious about the mysterious figure that suddenly broke through the water.

"Shopkeeper, did you read it?"

The red girl has a straightforward personality and always has something to say.

At this moment, seeing that the door was locked and Kunlun was guarding the door, staring at the movement in the corridor outside, he immediately asked.

"Yes."

Chen Yulou had no intention of hiding it.

He nodded slightly.

boom--

See him admit it.

The hearts of the five people, including Partridge Whistle, jumped suddenly.

"Then, what is that thing?"

The red girl frowned slightly. Perhaps she didn't even realize that there was a slight trembling in her voice when she blurted out this sentence.

"It is shaped like a mountain, has amazing speed, and feeds on flesh and blood."

"There is a high probability that it belongs to the species of fish and turtle..."

Chen Yulou sighed.

As if talking to himself.

Although he was born with night eyes, after he started cultivating, he relied on the Qingmu spiritual energy to nourish him every day, and his eyesight was far better than that of ordinary people.

Plus the moment when the black shadow appeared under the boat and swallowed the cow's head.

The boss of the ship and a group of waiters knelt on the ground and prayed silently. The others also lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.

Only he took a quick glance.

But the water demon was extremely cautious and as fast as lightning.

He must have noticed something.

Only then will he give up a boatload of blood food.

After swallowing only one cow's head, he ran away and disappeared into the water.

Ba Mo, the leader of the boat, thought they were lucky.

Lord River God bless you.

But in fact, only he knows.

The big underwater monster clearly felt this way because it sensed the spiritual energy on his body and... the aura of the phoenix species hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities to hunt.

If the ship is changed.

I am destined to die in the belly of a fish today.

Speaking of which, the joke I made with Yuan Hong almost turned out to be a prophecy.

under various circumstances.

So, even he.

Except for that majestic evil spirit.

I only saw an island-like green back and a bloody mouth with fangs.

"Fish and turtle?"

Hear this ambiguous answer.

The group was obviously not satisfied.

Some people wanted to speak, but Chen Yulou looked at Partridge Whistle and asked.

"Brother Taoist, have you been to any big rivers and lakes?"

among them.

Apart from himself, only this mountain-moving leader has seen the most.

Although he is not very old, he has been traveling in the world for almost twenty years.

After all, he has been with the previous generation of Taoist monks since he was a few years old.

Hear the words.

Partridge Whistle was obviously startled.

But he immediately came back to his senses and knew that he probably wanted to use this to deduce.

He nodded immediately.

"Yellow River!"

"I have been to Taihang and Weishan, both mountains where the Yellow River flows."

"Then have you heard any rumors about the water monster and river god?"

Upon hearing this.

Chen Yulou asked immediately.

The Yellow River has countless mysteries and wonders since ancient times.

Partridge Whistle was lost in thought.

It was many years ago that I went to the Yellow River to fight for pearls.

He was still young then.

I can't remember many things clearly.

But now that Chen Yulou asked, he did not dare to hesitate and recalled it carefully.

Not long after.

His mind moved, and a past event that had been buried in his memory slowly emerged.

If I remember correctly.

That was more than ten years ago.

He followed his master deep into Mount Wei to steal a tomb of the Warring States Period.

Unfortunately, it took more than three months to finally open the coffin, but nothing was found.

In desperation, the two of them could only make other plans.

So I took a ferry across the Yellow River and wanted to go to Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang.

After all, since ancient times, the place with the most ancient tombs, apart from Qinling Mountains, is Mang Mountain.

However, before boarding the ferry, the old man on the ferry said a lot of taboos.

Some people are puzzled.

Just ask why.

The old man didn't hide it, saying that there was an old turtle in the river that had lived for countless years.

It usually sleeps in the mud at the bottom of the river and only occasionally wakes up to look for food.

Once it surfaces.

Its shape is as big as a rocky floating island.

He is the god of the river.

It has a docile personality, but you cannot disturb it.

Otherwise, when the river god is angry, the whole boat will be thrown to the bottom of the river.

Of course, they did not see the legendary river god when they crossed the river.

But when they arrived on the other side and saw the river temple, they realized that the old man had not lied.

The locals regard the old turtle as the river god, and hold a festival to worship the river god every year, dumping three animals into the river to pray for good weather.

However, this rumor has been around for too long. He had almost forgotten.

But now that Chen Yulou suddenly mentioned it, he remembered it.

"Old turtle?"

Chen Yulou's eyes flashed.

My mind was suddenly pulled back to that moment on the bow of the ship.

About the identity of that black shadow.

this problem.

In fact, he has been thinking about it.

However, he still didn't have an accurate answer in his heart.

But at this moment, after listening to the past events mentioned by Partridge Whistle, it seemed as if there was a pair of invisible hands in his mind, gradually pushing aside the fog, revealing the truth underneath.

"The Yellow River fights water, and mud accounts for seven of it."

"Most of them are carps and turtles."

"The water area of ​​Nanpanjiang River is vast and crystal clear, but it is not suitable for the survival of old turtles. However, the green back of the mountain top is very similar to the genus of turtles."

He analyzed in a low voice.

The context is also becoming clearer.

The moment the words fell.

There were six people in the group, except for Kunlun, who was staring outside and had no time to be distracted. There was also an old foreigner who looked slightly pale and was obviously not used to it. He didn't speak.

Chen Yulou, Partridge Xian, Hua Ling and Red Girl.

Almost in unison.

"Old turtle!"

"Can't be wrong..."

Chen Yulou's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but chuckle.

Based on the body shape, scale insects such as dragons, dragons, pythons, and aphids can be excluded.

Fish is possible.

Such as the Iron-headed Dragon King in the Yellow River outside Gulan County.

In fact, it is a different species.

But that black shadow had no dorsal fin and gill cover. Without these two most prominent features, it was virtually excluded.

The turtle and the turtle are of the same origin.

Plus what Bamo said.

It is almost certain that the identity of the big demon in the river is probably an old turtle who has cultivated Taoism.

"How big is that?"

Thinking about the scene I saw from a distance before.

The black shadow in the water appeared like a small mountain.

Hua Ling couldn't help but widen her eyes, her little face full of wonder.

"Mountain monsters and water monsters, how can we generalize them with common sense..."

Seeing her innocent and cute appearance, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"That's true……"

Hua Ling secretly stuck out her tongue.

The centipede at the foot of Pingshan can grow to several feet long. It seems that it is nothing for an old turtle that has lived for countless years to grow to that extent.

Guessed the identity of the black shadow in the water.

The group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, it will always feel like a stone is weighing on my heart.

What's more, if it dares to appear again.

Not to mention the big killer weapon of Nu Qingji, who is a phoenix.

If the Xiling and Banshan factions join forces, they will not be helpless and cause chaos in a hurry.

"Brother Dao, what do you think of the Fuxian Lake River God that the captain of the boat mentioned before...?"

to be frank.

Compared with the old turtle in Nanpan River.

Chen Yulou was more interested in the abyss snake that Bamo mentioned.

In a world where ghosts blow out lanterns, snakes seem to be born with a mysterious aura.

The first is the snake god.

As one of the eight ancient gods, the Snake God possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth. However, it can also control the imaginary space, which means it has the ability to be immortal.

The second is to see Agama clearly.

In the belief of the demon country, the snake god is supreme, and it is the second one.

It is the guardian of the ghost cave and Mahakala.

It is extremely poisonous and will almost kill you if you touch it!

In addition, there was the rock python at Pingshan Mountain that was so frightened by the crow of the Angry Rooster that it hid in the mountains and did not dare to show its face, and the green-scaled giant python and the corpse of the ferocious python outside Zhelong Mountain where we were heading.

In the vast deep sea of ​​Guixu, the South China Sea, there is a big sea snake that looks like a dragon.

There is also the golden-scaled anaconda in the corpse crematorium of Baiyan Cave.

Feel free to recall.

He can think of several.

But even if he is a snake god, he at least has a rough impression.

Not like the giant snake Bamo mentioned.

Chen Yulou couldn't even imagine what it looked like.

only……

The words just came out of his mouth.

Partridge Whistle's expression suddenly became unnatural.

There was even more complexity in those amber eyes.

Noticed something strange about him.

Chen Yulou was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

Almost forgot.

The Bishan lineage has an indescribable psychology towards the snake god.

At that time, the prophets of Zagrama gained some mysterious power by spying on the bones of the snake god deep in the ghost cave, but at the same time... they were also cursed by ghosts for generations.

I had to leave my ancestral homeland.

He lived a life of uncertainty for thousands of years.

Although Chen Yulou is not talking about it.

But Partridge Whistle subconsciously thought of the snake god.

"Brother Dao..."

Look at his lost look.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but blame himself.

His original intention was just to find out the origin of the Fuxian Lake River God, but he never expected that it would touch his heart.

but.

Partridge Whistle also got it wrong.

After all, to this day, few people in the world know about the Zagrama ethnic group, let alone such secrets as ghost caves and snake gods.

"What did Brother Chen say... Oh, yes, River God."

"I heard that a dragon walks on water and turns into a dragon when it enters the sea. Maybe... there is a dormant dragon python hidden under Fuxian Lake."

He forced himself to suppress the turbulent thoughts in his heart, but he was obviously still a little lost.

Chen Yulou couldn't continue.

Just nodded.

"It's exactly what Chen thought."

"Well... I see that everyone is tired. That's it for today. Have a good rest. There is still a long way to go."

Partridge Whistle is extremely smart.

How could he not understand? She hugged him with a slightly pale face.

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your understanding."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Yulou waved his hand.

Watched the three brothers and sisters leave.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with him?"

Kunlun and Miss Hong were confused. Apparently they didn't understand why the partridge whistle suddenly seemed to have lost its soul.

"It might not be comfortable."

"You two, don't sit still. It's time to sleep and practice martial arts. Go back."

It's about the snake god, the Muchen Bead, and the curse of the ghost cave.

It was hard for Chen Yulou to explain, so he could only find an excuse to fool him.

"Oh……"

Kunlun and Miss Hong looked at each other.

Then take the order and leave.

soon.

Chen Yulou was the only one left in the room.

He lay down with his head on his hands, but right now his mind was filled with the snake god of Fuxian Lake mentioned by Bamo.

No weariness.

How can I sleep?

Simply get up from the bed again.

Open the map and lay it flat on the desktop.

There are two prominent routes on the map.

One is the direction of their current boat trip, pointing to the Nanjian Tusi Mansion.

The other one leads from Nanjian to the final destination of the trip, Tengyue Zhelong Mountain.

but.

him at the moment.

But he didn't care about the route.

Instead, he stretched out his finger and lightly traced it on the map.

He quickly clicked on one spot.

A line of small words was reflected in his eyes.

It is clearly Fuxian Lake.

The journey is about six to seven hundred kilometers.

It's definitely not possible to take a detour right now.

But... when Zhelong Mountain is over, we can cross Dali and Lucheng and go to Fuxian Lake.

If it were really a water-walking dragon that transformed into a dragon.

The benefit to his practice was even more astonishing than stealing a great treasure.

"Dragon."

"I wonder if the Jiao Dan has been condensed..."
