Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 91 Departure for the trip to Zhelong Mountain in southern Yunnan

 “Chen is too polite.”

Partridge Whistle held the tea cup and shook his head repeatedly.

 In his opinion, what he is today is all thanks to Chen Yulou.

 Especially those words in Hades.

Like a heavy hammer beating a drum, he was able to break through the confusion in his heart, swallow the golden elixir, and successfully break through.

 When he was in Zhuangzi, he took the trouble to answer his questions and solve his doubts.

Such a great favor, let alone just giving him a helping hand.

Even if he goes up a mountain of swords and down into a sea of ​​fire, he will never frown.

 “Yes, Mr. Chen is too polite.”

“We are not outsiders. In the mountain scriptures about moving mountains, there is a saying that moving mountains should not move Changsheng Mountain.”

 Arrived at Zhuangzi.

Hua Ling's personality became much more cheerful, and he accepted the words with a smile.

 “Junior Sister Hua Ling’s words are quite satisfactory.”

 “Come on, you’re welcome, sit down and eat first.”

Hearing her words, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

 Looked at the breakfast.

 Most of them are from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

 Uncle Yu is very attentive.

 After a while, he asked the chef to prepare a table of breakfast.

Partridge Whistle Brother and Sister have been busy traveling all the way these days, spending most of their time sleeping in the mountains and forests. They can no longer remember how long it has been since they had a decent meal.

 This is not pretentious.

 A few people were chatting while eating.

“Brother Dao, you have worked hard all the way. The guest room has been tidied up. How many days of rest should you take?”

They have almost eaten.

 Chen Yulou reminded him.

“I’m not sleepy, brother Chen, can you let me take a look at the map first?”

Partridge Whistle shook his head.

He has long been accustomed to this kind of all-night life.

On the way here, he calculated that the trip to southern Yunnan would take half a year to go back and forth even if everything goes well.

 They are also responsible for finding the Danzhu.

 You must plan ahead.

"certainly."

 Seeing him ask about the map, Chen Yulou was not surprised.

Partridge Whistle’s character is like this.

　　If you believe something, even the south wall will hit you head-on.

 Just gave an order to Kunlun.

 The latter immediately went downstairs.

Not long after, he retrieved a sandalwood box. After opening it, there was a yellowed and ancient scroll of paper.

“This map was accidentally obtained in Lijiashan.”

“The handwriting was blurry at first. In order to clarify the content, Chen made a special trip to Suzhou and found a master who repaired calligraphy and paintings. It took him half a month to complete it.”

 Pick up the map.

 Chen Yulou smiled and talked about the past.

 “Brother Dao, please take a look.”

 As he spoke, he handed the map to Partridge Whistle.

As soon as the latter took it, he immediately noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

Especially the touch that comes back from your fingertips when you gently rub it. Moreover, although this leather has been sold, its color is obviously different from that of sheepskin, cattle and sheep.

 There is a high probability that it is a human skin map.

However, Partridge Whistle is not a good old man who eats fasts and chants Buddha's name, and is compassionate towards others.

　　In these years, I have traveled extensively.

There are not a few bandits who died in his hands.

Just for a moment, I stopped thinking about it and started to look at it carefully through the skylight outside the window.

 The map is painted with pigments such as stone green.

 It gives people a rough and simple feeling.

However, the painter is very skilled. With just a few strokes, he can clearly outline the mountains and rivers.

There are also writings on the side as comments.

It’s a pity that although Partridge Whistle is well-informed, he has never seen that kind of ancient text.

　　It seems that this scene has been expected for a long time.

Chen Yulou asked Kunlun to unfold the map he had taken together and hang it on the wall behind him.

He spent a lot of money to buy it from an antique dealer in southern Yunnan.

It is said to be written by a missionary who has been in southern Yunnan for many years.

I don’t know how I ended up living outside.

 Although that map is already ten or twenty years old, it is many times clearer than the ones circulating on the market.

Mountains, rivers, terrain and direction, all details are marked.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle immediately approached with the map in hand.

 Start to compare carefully little by little.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner also gathered around with curious faces.

 Only a moment later.

Partridge Whistle already had two people's decisions in mind.

 Hand pointed at a high mountain.

 “Brother Chen, is this Zhelong Mountain?”

 Seeing how precise his positioning was in such a short period of time, even Chen Yulou couldn't help but marvel.

You must know that in the ancient Dian Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago, even if the snow-capped mountains remained unchanged for thousands of years, there must have been changes.

 “That’s right.”

 “In the territory of Yunnan and Yue, under the snow peaks.”

Chen Yulou pointed to the symbol representing the primitive mountain forest at the foot of the mountain and nodded.

 “It seems that this trip is not easy.”

In order to search for pearls, the places where Partridge Whistle went these past few years were almost all in the vast mountains and forests.

Those places are mostly inhabited by natives, and the language barrier is a trivial matter. The key is that the different customs are fatal.

 If you are not careful, you may violate the taboos of the natives.

 What's more, this trip is still about going to fight.

This profession has been hidden from the light since ancient times.

 Unless you completely avoid the eyes and ears of those people, once it is discovered that an outsider has intruded into the ancestral land or territory, it may not be a fight, but a life-or-death escape.

How could Chen Yulou not know this?

During this period, he has tried his best to ask people in the rivers and lakes for news about the land of Yunnan and Vietnam.

 It’s just that the two places are too far apart.

In addition, Yunnan and Yue are located in western Yunnan, which is particularly remote. It was still in the era of chieftain control, and many places were almost the same as barbarians.

 From the memory of more than ten years ago.

The land of Yunnan and Yue is now ruled by the Longchuan Jiangdao family. The Dao family has inherited the position of chieftain since the Ming Dynasty.

 The Chen family talked about the emperor of the time in Xiangyin.

Perhaps someone else has an opinion.

 But in the land of Yunnan and Yue, all ethnic groups only know the Tusi Mansion, but they don’t know about the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China.

 The Dao family guarded Yunnan and Yue for three hundred years.

 That is the real Tu emperor.

If you enter Zhelong Mountain with great fanfare, you will definitely not be able to avoid the Dao Family.

As for that time more than ten years ago, he was young and vigorous, and wanted to make a name for himself in the world of fighting. He only took a few people with him and went to southern Yunnan without looking back.

 It took more than half a year.

 It is also a sign of great fortune.

 Although I didn’t gain much in the end, at least I was fine.

 “Then you still have to disguise yourself, there can’t be too many people.”

 After listening to these words.

Partridge Whistle analyzed carefully.

“Yes, so we must choose elite people.”

 Concerning this point, the two of them had the same idea.

These days, no less than in later generations, the chieftains and natives in the mountains are all ruthless characters who kill without blinking an eye.

People don’t recognize Changsheng Mountain, the people who pick up stars and move the mountain gate, and there are also the powerful people who can remove mountains and move mountains.

“It seems that Brother Chen is already prepared.”

Hearing this, Partridge Whistle breathed a sigh of relief.

“I have only given some thought to how to fight, and I have to wait until Zhelong Mountain to make a decision.”

“Then...when does Brother Chen plan to set off?”

  Putting down the human skin map in his hand, Partridge Whistle asked straightforwardly.

 “You have come a long way, take a good rest for a few days, Chen will also ask people to make complete preparations.”

 Chen Yulou pondered for a moment.

 “How about setting off in three days?”

“Okay, as Brother Chen said, we will head to southern Yunnan in three days.”

 This time is within the acceptable range of Partridge Whistle.

 He would rather do it as early as possible.

 But he felt really sorry when he thought that his junior brothers and sisters had followed him all the way from Peacock Mountain to this place, almost without sleeping.

“Okay, Uncle Yu, please send Brother Dao and the others to rest.”

Speaking of which.

Chen Yulou wouldn't want to delay their rest.

 Sent the person all the way downstairs, and asked Uncle Yu to send him off.   …

 Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

 On the fourth day.

 The sky is getting brighter.

 A carefully selected team is already waiting outside Zhuangzi.

The fog was thick and the dew had not yet dissipated, but no one complained.

 Each of them stood beside the horse, with deep eyes and solemn expressions.

　　When the three brother and sister Partridge Sentinel walked out of the city gate.

　　It is still a hot summer day, but I feel a chilling feeling of autumn wind.

 There are not many people in the team.

 But without exception, they are all carefully selected from Changsheng Mountain and Chenjiazhuang.

 Regardless of skill or experience.

 can be regarded as the cream of the crop.

“It is worthy of being an ever-victorious mountain, with strong soldiers and strong horses.”

Feeling the fierce evil aura on everyone's body, even the Partridge Whistle couldn't help but sigh.

 “Brother Dao is overly praised.”

Chen Yulou smiled and waved his hand.

 After the last drastic reform, the atmosphere on the mountain has been completely cleared up.

 So, when he heard Partridge Whistle’s heartfelt admiration at this moment, he said he was modest, but in fact he was still a little surprised.

 At this moment.

 Except for him and Partridge Whistle.

Behind him were Kunlun, who was carrying a spurge, the heroic red girl, and Yuan Hong, as well as Nu Qingji, who had been sent into the convoy early and was hiding in a bamboo cage.

As for Huamaguai, he has to stay at Changsheng Mountain and cannot go with him on this trip.

Uncle Yu continues to look after Chenjiazhuang.

 He is an old man of the Chen family.

 There is also a kidnapper on the mountain, and he and he are like horns.

Even if Luo Laowai joins forces with the two men from Hubi Village and Huodong Temple to rebel, he can still be safe without Zhuangzi.

As for Yuan Hong, he actually didn’t plan to bring it with him at first.

 After all, although it can speak, it has been studying with Uncle Ming during this period, and now it can read and digit, but its appearance is still very different from that of a human being.

But as soon as this guy heard that he was going to southern Yunnan.

 I don’t want to stay no matter what.

At this moment, he was wearing a straw hat on his head, covering most of his face.

 Looks almost the same as a human being.

and.

 Then he thought about it carefully.

Zhelong Mountain is surrounded by vast virgin forests, and there are also insect valleys and mountain streams blocking the road. It would not be a bad thing to bring it along.

 Two of them, It and Kunlun, were born and raised in the mountains.

 At that time, as a scout exploring the road, you may be able to exert unexpected advantages.

 In the team.

A familiar figure can still be seen faintly.

 Suddenly it was Zhang Yunqiao.

 He was also considered to be a rising star in the mountains during this period.

However, after many years of traveling in the world, and his unwillingness to stay in the mountains all year round, he took the initiative to ask for a job. Chen Yulou knew his ability, so he agreed.

　Looking up at this moment.

 Except for the team leading the horses.

There are also convoys.

 It is not easy to travel long distances these days.

However, in addition to food, the car carried the most guns, gunpowder, and Kongming lanterns.

 Two days ago, Lao Qitou completed the task ahead of schedule.

The father and son worked day and night to put out more than 30 lamps in one go.

 Even just in case, Qi Hu was also in the team.

 Although he is a farmer.

However, having lived in Chenjiazhuang for many years, I also know what kind of business the owner of the village does for a living.

 When Chen Yulou raised this matter, Qi Hu not only had no resistance at all, but was extremely excited.

 At this moment, he was standing beside the motorcade.

 You can detect the excitement on his face even from a distance.

“Brother Chen, will bringing the convoy slow down the journey?”

The Partridge Whistle glanced at the convoy behind the thieves and frowned slightly.

 “Two roads.”

“We rode horses and took the mountain road, while the convoy took the waterway along the Yuan River and met in southern Guizhou.”

As if he had expected that he would ask a question, Chen Yulou calmly explained.

 About the route planning to southern Yunnan.

 He had actually been prepared for it.

 Just in the past few days, I have sorted it out again to check for gaps and fill in the gaps.

“Since Brother Chen has already made arrangements, Yang won’t say much.”

The partridge whistle knows that the Xiling family has a great cause.

 It’s not like they moved mountains.

 Now there are only three brothers and sisters, and they don’t have to pay much attention to going out.

Chen Yulou attaches great importance to this trip, and it is understandable to do so.

only.

 He has been practicing in seclusion these days.

How did you know that Chen Yulou’s preparations were far more than that.

A few days ago, he sent out the bandits from Changsheng Mountain along the way to find out information along the way, which was equivalent to establishing a huge intelligence network.

I dare not say that I can reach the southern Yunnan area.

 But at least in Hunan Province and the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, they can sit back and relax during this journey.

 Arrived in southern Yunnan.

 At that time, we will switch to another idea.

There has been the Tea Horse Road there since ancient times. They can disguise themselves as merchants and go deep into Yunnan and Vietnam, and then make plans at the end.

 “What do you think, Brother Dao?”

“Brother Chen has thought deeply, Yang will never be able to do this.”

 Briefly listened to his plan.

Partridge Whistle couldn’t hide his emotion and said with admiration on his face.

To be honest, if he were to come, he would at best draw a rough route and make changes as he goes.

 But it only took three days.

 Chen Yulou was actually able to do this.

 The thorough consideration is absolutely unprecedented.

“Since Brother Dao has no objection, let’s not delay.”

Chen Yulou breathed out and waved towards the team.

"Set off!"

 Everyone who had been waiting for a long time immediately got on their horses and drove straight out of the mountain.

 “Young Master, Chief Yang.”

“Drink this glass of wine, and we will wish you a safe and sound trip from Zhuangziyuan.”

Seeing that they were about to set off, Uncle Yu and Huamaguai came out of the crowd, holding two glasses of bamboo leaf wine in their hands.

 “Then I’ll borrow Uncle Yu’s auspicious words.”

 Taking the drink, Chen Yulou raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Without any hesitation, Partridge Whistle took the drink. After finishing it, he cupped his fists at the two of them and thanked them, "Thank you Uncle Yu and Brother Kidnapper."

 Huama turned her eyes with sadness and a look of reluctance.

This separation lasts for at least half a year.

But he could only stay alone on the mountain, feeling really uncomfortable.

"gone."

 “How can you, a charlatan, have so many mothers-in-law?”

 “I won’t come back until I’m drunk the day I come back.”

Seeing this, Chen Yulou patted his shoulder and laughed loudly.

 “Yes, from the shopkeeper.”

Huamaguai nodded heavily.

Seeing that the convoy that set off first was almost disappearing at the end of the mountain road.

Chen Yulou stopped delaying and called on several people to get on their horses.

Soon, a sound of horse hooves, like a landslide and a sudden rain, echoed outside the city, and a group of people quickly chased the team in front.

Huamaguai stood outside Zhuangzi and watched Chen Yulou and others disappear from sight.

　That's when he looked back.

　　Looking at Uncle Yu, who had his hands folded aside and a sad look in his eyes, his expression was full of respect.

This old man has been working in the Chen family since he was not born. If anyone really wants to think of him as one of those old guys in Zhuangzi, the end will be tragic.

“Uncle Yu, what should we do with Etou Mountain, Hubi Village and Huodong Temple?”

　　"Send someone to watch him to death. If you dare to take the opportunity to cause trouble, let's change a group of people."

 Uncle Yu put his hands behind his back and looked calm.

 As if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

Huamaguai’s heart sank after hearing this, but there was no expression on her face.

 Now that the shopkeeper has left, nothing will happen to Zhuangzi and Shanshan.

 “Okay, then just listen to Uncle Yu.”
