Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 94 Chen Yulou Chen Xiazi
Shirley Yang smiled and said, "Let's go talk to the boatman first, lest they are still scared."

"Yep!"

Wait until everyone returns to the cabin.

The boatman and his family were huddled together, shivering.

"Uncle and aunt, don't be afraid. The Iron-Headed Dragon King is dead." Old Hu comforted them.

"died?"

The boatman looked incredulous.

"The Iron-Headed Dragon King is the reincarnation of the Dragon King. How could he be dead?"

Lao Hu shrugged and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go outside and take a look."

The boatman was skeptical and followed Lao Hu out of the cabin. Sure enough, the weather had improved.

The boatman looked into the river with some trembling.

I saw a hint of crimson in the river; the blood of the Iron-Headed Dragon King had dyed the river water red.

"This, is this the blood of the Iron-Headed Dragon King?"

The boatman opened his eyes wide, looking incredulous.

Everyone smiled and nodded.

"We have killed it."

The boatman was suddenly surprised.

He immediately shouted loudly: "Wife, wife, hurry up and bring the child out, the Iron-headed Dragon King is really dead!"

The old lady came out with the little girl.

There was a hint of shock on his face again.

The boatman said quickly, "Wife, look quickly into the river. The water is full of the Iron-Headed Dragon King's blood!"

The old lady took a look and was also surprised.

"It seems that the Iron-Headed Dragon King is really dead."

"Otherwise the weather won't get better."

"Thank you so much."

……

Two days later.

Everyone got off the boat at the port.

The boatman and his family refused to take any money no matter what.

"You have eliminated the Iron-Headed Dragon King. This is a good deed. Besides, we boatmen will no longer have to offer sacrifices to the river god."

“How can we still take your money?”

……

Gulan County.

The first impression it gives to everyone is that it is shabby.

Many of the houses here are made of mud.

Cover it with some asbestos tiles and it becomes a house for people to live in.

The sounds of hawkers shouting could be heard on the street.

"Let's find a place to live first."

Hu Bayi is an old hand, and he is quite experienced when he goes out.

Everyone found a local guesthouse.

Only guesthouses can provide accommodation.

The rest of the places are basically residential houses.

There is no guarantee for the environment inside.

After washing up, everyone gathered together to discuss what to do next.

"Jiang Hua, what should we do next?"

Shirley Yang asked Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about this Dragon Ridge Cave.
, but I listened to what the boatman said before, and I think the Dragon Ridge Cave must be related to the Fishbone Temple. "

"Fishbone Temple?"

Everyone was stunned. Why did they bring up the Fishbone Temple again?

Jiang Hua explained: "First, the boatman said that this fish bone temple was built with donations from a wealthy foreign businessman. So why did he build a fish bone temple?"

The fat man asked tentatively: "Because he believes in Buddhism?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Jiang Hua asked back.

"Gulan County is located in a remote area. How can there be any wealthy merchants from outside?"

"And the boatman said that since the Fishbone Temple was built, life in Gulan County has become increasingly difficult. There have been years of severe drought and a sharp drop in harvests. Everyone is having a hard time."

The fat man asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem with this?"

"Normally there's no problem."

Jiang Hua said: "But if this Fishbone Temple is built at a critical location and blocks the earth's energy here, it may result in consecutive years of drought."

Old Hu asked doubtfully, "I also know something about the concept of earth energy. In the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique, earth energy is described as the root of the dragon vein."

"The intersection of heaven and earth formed the theory of Feng Shui. Combining the unity of heaven and man, it is possible to create auspicious and dangerous caves!"

"But I've never heard that this ground energy can affect local rainfall?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Old Hu, the earth's energy is hidden in the mountains and rivers. Wherever there are mountains and rivers, there must be earth's energy hidden."

"If this fish bone temple is built at the eye of the dragon vein, it will be able to devour the energy of heaven and earth, and then disasters will naturally occur in the area."

"These years of drought are just minor disasters."

"The reason why I said that the Fishbone Temple is strange is that the boatman's wife said that since the Fishbone Temple was built, the weather has become increasingly dry, and over time, no one has come to worship."

Old Hu was thoughtful. "So what you mean is that this Fishbone Temple was most likely built above the Dragon Vein Eye, blocking all the flow of earth energy, thus causing the continuous drought?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Hua nodded, "So let's go to the Fishbone Temple tomorrow. I think we should be able to find something."

Hearing Jiang Hua's words, everyone nodded.

After all, Jiang Hua basically didn't miss a word along the way. When they were in the Jingjue Ancient City, if it weren't for Jiang Hua's words, they probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

It was still early and everyone wanted to go outside to take a look.

This guesthouse was built in the most prosperous place in Gulan County.

Even at night, there are many vendors setting up stalls.

Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone's attention.

"The candle illuminates the tortoise shell and the divination is accurate to the millimeter." "Chen Tuan is reincarnated, and King Wen is reborn!"

Everyone looked carefully and found that it was actually a fortune-telling stall.

There was also an old blind man at the fortune-telling stall.

The voice just now came from that old blind man.

Jiang Hua had an idea and took everyone to the old blind man's fortune-telling stall.

The fat man was a little curious and asked, "Old man, can you calculate everything? Is it accurate?"

The old blind man touched his walking stick.

He stretched out a hand.

The fat man was immediately angry, "Hey, you old blind man, you dare to ask for money before the meeting even starts?"

The old blind man uttered a word lightly.

"I'm telling fortunes, you can't ask for money!"

"really?"

The fat man raised his eyebrows and actually showed some interest.

"How to calculate?"

"Hand out!"

The fat man stretched out a hand and the old blind man fumbled for a long time.

The old blind man seemed to have some confidence, and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to calculate?"

The fat man thought for a moment and said, "Then tell me about my situation."

The old blind man thought about it.

"You are from the capital. Seeing the broken family line on your palm, your parents must have passed away."

The fat man was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the old blind man was actually right.

"Am I right?" the old blind man said proudly.

"That's right." The fat man then asked, "What's next?"

"I see that the lifeline on your palm is broken. I'm sure there will be a disaster in the future, which will lead to your untimely death!"

The fat man was shocked. He and Hu Bayi were cursed by the ghost cave. Isn’t that a disaster imminent?

He is cursed by a ghost cave and will not live past the age of fifty.

Isn't this a premature death?
Thinking of this, the fat man's face turned pale.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, is it true that Lao Hu and I will never be able to break the curse of this ghost cave?
The old blind man continued, "But fortunately, you will meet a responsible person. He will help you escape this disaster."

Hearing this, the fat man's face lit up with joy.

Noble person?

Isn't that Brother Jiang?
Turning danger into good fortune?

Does this mean that I can really break the curse of this ghost cave in the future?

Thinking of this, the fat man looked at the old blind man again.

I couldn't help but feel a little respect in my heart.

This must really be an old immortal!

So he gritted his teeth.

He took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and put it in the old blind man's hand.

This thousand yuan is in the hands of an ordinary person.

That's already a huge sum of money.

The fat man said with a hint of expectation: "Old Immortal, what should I do in the future? Will I suffer? Will I make a fortune in the future?"

At this time, Jiang Hua laughed.

"Fatty, they are trying to trick you!"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But what the old immortal said just now was really right!"

The old blind man's face suddenly darkened.

"You young man, no one has taught you, don't you know not to talk nonsense?"

Jiang Hua felt a little amused.

He had already recognized the identity of the old blind man.

I didn’t expect that there would be a fortune-telling stall in Gulan County.

So he sighed.

“I never thought that Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xialing Gang back then, would fall to such a state today.”

Hearing this, the old blind man's face changed slightly. Without saying anything, he just rolled up his things and tried to run away.

"Hey, old immortal..."

Seeing this, the fat man wanted to keep him.

At this time, Lao Hu pulled him aside.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fatty, can you grow something in your brain?"

"He's obviously trying to trick you, can't you tell?"

I saw that the fat man still had a confused look on his face.

Old Hu sighed and couldn't help but said, "Beijing people, as long as they hear your accent, even a fool will know that you are from Beijing. As for the family line, life line, and premature death, that's all this old blind man is deceiving you. Regardless of whether what he said is right or wrong, this old blind man can make it up for you."

"For example, if someone dies young, who knows what will happen next?"

"If you want to cause trouble for him in the future, he would have run away long ago."

"And if both parents are dead, and if what he said is wrong, then he will say that the family line on your palm is broken, and your parents will be in great trouble in the near future."

"Now, you should understand, right?"

The fat man gritted his teeth, a fierce look in his eyes.

"Damn it, this old liar actually managed to trick your fat uncle. I'm going to teach him a lesson."

The fat man turned and looked at the old blind man.

When the old blind man wanted to run, he was stopped by Jiang Hua.

The old blind man, hanging on his cane, said helplessly: "Who are you? Why do you know my identity?"

Chen Yulou, the leader of Xiangling.

This name has long disappeared from the world.

Except for some old immortals.

I'm afraid that in this world, no one knows that there was once a person named Chen Yulou, the leader of Xiangling.

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Old sir, I have no ill intentions, but we are old friends, are you sure you don't want to meet?
