Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 118 The strange changes in the water in the Huludong sky (two in one)

 “And you.”

 “While you have time, collect as much rosin as possible and make a torch.”

"It's best to bring a batch of broken bamboos down. The big lake is difficult to cross, so we have to put up a few rafts."

Chen Yulou’s eyes were focused and he gave instructions in an orderly manner.

 In an instant, everyone in the group took action.

From the news brought back by Zhang Yunqiao and others, it is very likely that there is an underground tomb at the end of the stone steps.

 This shocked them.

  What’s more, it’s indescribable excitement.

 I was born to eat this bowl of death's rice, and my head was originally hanging on my belt.

 Wealth and honor are always found in danger.

If everything is smooth sailing and the wind is smooth, can it still be considered a back-and-forth fight?

 The credit for being first in the game cannot be snatched away.

But for such an astonishingly large tomb, the gold and jade treasures hidden in it cannot be described by the words "mountain".

 For an ordinary person, being able to steal a general's tomb and a prime minister's tomb would be enough to last him a lifetime.

What is in front of us now is the royal mausoleum.

There are thousands of brothers on Mount Everlasting, how many of them can have such an opportunity?

 For a time, everyone’s blood was boiling and their hearts were racing.

 I wish I could have fought earlier.

 “Brother Chen is worried about changes?”

They didn't think much about it, but Partridge Whistle saw through the lingering worry in his expression at a glance.

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from Brother Dao.”

Chen Yulou didn't hide it, nodded and exhaled.

“The human skin map only has a rough outline of the route, and the mausoleum genealogy only records the pattern under the tomb, which means that now we know almost nothing about the road beneath us.”

“Yin produces evil, and if it is broken, evil will arise. This trip may be very dangerous.”

The underground gourd cave is endless.

 Zhang Yunqiao and the others saw only one tenth.

It is already so dangerous.

The danger hidden in the dark night is the real killer invisible.

Different-bottomed caves, mantises and worms…

These are unspeakable horrors.

“Is there anything you want us three brothers and sisters to do?”

Partridge Whistle looked solemn, and of course asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, Brother Chen, we can do a lot of things.”

Hua Ling looked over with a serious look on her face.

 Although the old foreigner did not speak.

 But the determination in his expression said everything.

“Okay, you’re welcome to Chen.”

 Now they are on a boat.

He alone can't take care of the situation, and the three people in the mountain moving group each have their own methods. The mirror umbrella can destroy evil spirits, and they also have the art of reclaiming the sea.

 Especially the latter.

With the help of Si Tianyu, it can be accurately positioned in the vast sea and in places with chaotic magnetic fields.

Although the big lake in Huludong is not as exaggerated as the deep sea.

But because of the blue toad carved on the meteorite in the different bottom cave, the magnetic field and feng shui in the cave were thrown into chaos.

 The technique of finding dragons and tapping acupoints has lost its effect.

 Si Tianyu just comes in handy.

"When we get off the lake, I need the three of you to guard a bamboo raft each. I and the others will be each other's horns."

 “As for now…”

 Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled, "Just wait."

 “Just leave some small things to the guys on the mountain.”

 “Alright…”

 The three of them nodded and said no more.

The partridge whistle tried the rifling and bullets of the twenty-ring mirror box, while the old foreigner took out the iron arrows in the quiver and gently wiped them one by one.

Hua Ling gently opened the mirror umbrella.

 As the only means of self-defense.

That mirror umbrella has been with her for many years.

It was passed down from the previous generation of Banshan Taoist, and then handed over to her by her senior brother. She takes great care of it on weekdays, for fear of being damaged in the slightest.

 Seeing them being so cautious.

 Chen Yulou became much calmer.

Just flicked the scabbard hanging on his waist with his finger, and in an instant, there was an echo like a dragon's roar in his ears.

 Since I got the idea to kill the green-scaled python yesterday.

The dragon scale sword stained with demon blood has been kept in its sheath to maintain its strength.

Now through the sword box, he can feel the amazing sword intent.

  Just relax and close your eyes for a moment.

 Not long.

 The guys who left returned one after another.

I have to say that their efficiency is astonishing, and almost everything they are told is completed several times over.

 Enough broken bamboo to make six or seven rafts.

 Fifty or sixty torches and more than twenty sky lanterns.

"well done."

 See this scene.

Even Chen Yulou can’t find any fault with it.

Of course, if I have to choose, maybe there are still a few Kongming Lanterns.

But you can tell by looking at Qi Hu's sweating profusely.

 He definitely tried his best.

 In such a short period of time, he can shoot more than 20 lamps at one go, and he may not be able to rest for a while.

 “It’s still too early…”

 Chen Yulou sighed secretly in his heart.

 It is only the beginning of the Republic of China, let alone electrical equipment.

I've never even seen a flare. If there were one, the light would be enough to light up half of the gourd cave.

Where is the use of Kongming lanterns?

 “Get ready to fight!”

Shaking his head to disperse the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Yulou waved his hand.

 “Yes, from the shopkeeper.”

 The response was like thunder in an instant.

The thieves who have been waiting for a long time dare not delay.

Hurry through the stone gate and head down the mountain on the stone steps.

 Follow the long queue and enter the Calabash Cave.

On the long and narrow stone steps, the light of the fire was dancing, and from a distance it looked like a fire dragon returning to its nest.

 Chen Yulou and the others are not slow either.

Differing from the hot flashes outside, the Hulu Cave never sees the sun all year round and there is the Yinhe Sacred Lake. As soon as you enter it, you can immediately feel a chill.

 The mist condensed into water droplets on the stone walls on both sides.

 It will take a long time for it to slide down a bit.

Other than that, there was no sign of life along the way.

Even the mosses that can be seen everywhere in Zhelong Mountain seem to have disappeared here.

 Desolation, dead silence, and endless darkness.

 This is the impression left by almost everyone after entering this place.

 Especially darkness.

Even though I have heard it from Zhang Yunqiao six people many times before.

 But not until we actually enter this place.

 Only everyone can understand it deeply.

It was like entering a large dye vat filled with ink, and the black mist was as thick as quicksand that could be scooped up with just one hand.

Even though Chen Yulou was born with night eyes, he couldn't see very far by the light of the fire.

  Instead, it is after integrating the water separation beads.

Even though he was hundreds of meters away, he could detect the majestic water vapor in front of him in the vast darkness.

 “Which way to go?”

 “This **** thing has no direction at all?”

As soon as they stepped down the stone steps, the thieves felt as if they were trapped in a maze.

 Some people even took out compasses.

 But this place is extremely weird. As soon as I took it out, the pointer on the dial was spinning like crazy.

 This discovery.

 Intangibility makes the uneasy atmosphere even worse.

Hum!

Suddenly.

 A roar like a dragon’s roar resounded.

 In an instant, the noise around him was suppressed.

Everyone felt refreshed, and their throbbing moods suddenly calmed down a lot.

 Chen Yulou looked at this scene with satisfaction.

 Hands slowly removed themselves from the scabbard.

 His gaze immediately swept over the crowd, his eyes shining brightly.

 As his eyes swept over them, the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts gradually dissipated.

 “Qi Hu!”

  “The subordinate is here.”

 Qi Hu immediately jumped out of the crowd.

 You can tell from his slightly rapid breathing that he is very excited at the moment.

If it weren’t for this trip to southern Yunnan.

His whole life he was just a refugee tenant who relied on Chenjiazhuang to work in the fields. He stared at one-third of an acre of land all day long, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, pointing to God to reward him with food.

 But the scene where the lights were put on yesterday to cause the sky to collapse.

Qi Hu will probably never forget it in his lifetime.

His ancestral lamp-tying skills are by no means as bad as others say.

“Take a few brothers and put out the lamp.”

"yes!"

 Qi Hu immediately accepted the order.

He took more than ten people with him and walked to an open space carrying lanterns.

 Close your eyes and feel it carefully.

Although there was silence all around, he quickly caught the subtle atmosphere.

 The wind... means that this place is not isolated from the world.

  But to communicate with the outside world.

 The most important thing is that as long as there is wind, he can ensure that the sky lantern in his hand can fly out.

 “Light up!”

 Qi Hu slowly opened his eyes.

　　It is a very calm sentence, but the tone gives people an unquestionable meaning.

 The group of workers lit up the fire sickles without hesitation and ignited the wicks in the Kongming Lanterns.

The firelight danced in the originally dark lamp paper.

 As the temperature rises.

Everyone immediately noticed that the Kongming Lantern in their hands seemed to be given life, and they struggled to get away.

"put!"

　　The word fell gently.

More than twenty lights soared into the sky.

 Everyone, including Chen Yulou, subconsciously looked up.

 Lights cut through the darkness.

 Let this desolate place shrouded in mist gradually reveal the tip of the iceberg.

 The first thing that catches the eye is underneath them.

It is a long and narrow valley.

There are obvious traces of man-made punctures.

Countless blue stones are piled up on both sides, and the bricks above the ground are flat.

 “Tomb passage?”

 “That’s not right…”

Partridge Whistle watched intently, and a thought subconsciously came to his mind.

 But wait until those sky lanterns drift away.

When he saw the piles of elephant bones at the end of the valley, his heart moved.

 “It’s a burial pit!”

 At a glance, there are at least dozens of them.

He still kept walking slowly, as if he was just chasing water plants and playing in the mountains and forests.

But the skeletons exposed in the air made those who saw this scene shudder.

 They were apparently killed before they were alive and then brought here.

 It is reassembled bit by bit according to its original appearance.

Moreover, generally speaking, the burial pits contained either dogs, horses, or slaves.

 Because elephants are auspicious, there has been a tradition of being buried with elephant bones since the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

  King Dan Xian was nothing more than a barbarian king in southern Xinjiang.

They dared to bury dozens of elephant bones. Just on this scale, it was much better than those of the emperors of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

 You can also get a glimpse of this person's ambition.

 Because these elephant bones were never buried with sand, it better reflects his ambition to seek immortality.

 Ride a dragon, ride a crane, ride on a cloud, ride an elephant.

They all mean the omen of ascending to immortality.

 “Xian…how can it be so easy to succeed?”

Partridge Whistle’s eyes flickered and he sneered in his heart.

 In his life, he has seen too many people who seek immortality and seek immortality, but in the end they are nothing more than dead bones and graves.

 How about Pingshan?

 From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.

The precious medicines that are rare in the world were brought into it like running water. The monastic palace, the elixir casting well, and the lead-burning medicine eventually became the burial place of the generals of the Yuan Dynasty.

 He did not believe in a mere barbarian prince.

 He can also surpass the emperors of all dynasties and ascend to immortality.

 “The lake...is really a big lake.”

He was still pondering secretly, and the exclamations of the thieves could already be heard in his ears.

The partridge whistle subconsciously raised its head.

In just a short moment, those lamps had already crossed the burial pit and flown farther away.

The firelight reflected a vast and boundless lake.

 Mist is rising on the water, and the smoke is vast.

 Compared to the lake I saw in the outer valley yesterday, I don’t know how many times it is bigger.

 The end cannot be seen at a glance.

Only a few longing black figures can be seen faintly standing in the mist.

I don’t know if it’s an island in the lake or something.

 Further outside, the lights floating together gradually tend to be obscured by the fog again.

  “Let’s go!” Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou did not dare to delay any longer.

Hulu Cave is surprisingly large.

Just two dozen sky lanterns cannot illuminate everything.

Therefore, we must cross the big lake as much as possible and reach the outside of the Different Bottom Cave before the lights go out.

The sound is like thunder.

 At once, the group of thieves who were stunned by the scene in the cave were so shocked that they woke up.

 Others even jumped out in one step.

 Instantly appear at the front of the team.

The fog is deep in this place. He was born with night eyes and refined a ray of spiritual consciousness.

 Other than him, no one else is qualified for the task of opening the way.

　　“Everyone, keep your eyes open for me and follow closely.”

 Chen Yulou walked leisurely, his figure neither hurried nor slow.

 Leading a group of people, he quickly walked through the burial pit beneath him and soon reached the place where the elephant was buried.

 Look farther than before.

 At this time, we passed by the side of the elephant bones that were as high as mountains.

 The shock to everyone was even more astonishing.

 Even if he has been dead for more than two thousand years.

 But the barbaric spirit exuding from the elephant bones still persists, sweeping over like a mountain rain.

Chen Yulou's spiritual consciousness swept through and found a total of sixty-four bodies, which was much more than he had guessed.

 Before entering the Worm Valley.

 Those days in Maluzhai.

 He also asked Uro curiously.

As the most outstanding hunter among the younger generation in the village, he has traveled almost everywhere except Worm Valley.

 But according to what he said, Zhelong Mountain is rich in products and wild animals are everywhere.

But I have never seen an elephant.

 Although according to the rumors left by our ancestors, Zhelong Mountain once existed, but it disappeared after that.

Even Mobasicus doesn’t know about this matter.

 He just thought that the elephants had been abandoned by the big ghost, so he left.

Now it seems that there is no abandonment, it is simply that it was killed by King Xian until it was cut off.

 “Ivory…”

 After experiencing a brief shock of amazement.

The thieves couldn't help but have the idea of ​​touching gold.

You should know that because ivory is rare, it has been regarded as three treasures along with rhino horn and tiger bone since ancient times.

For many years, except for emperors, ordinary people could not use it without authorization.

 Even considered as an act of transgression.

  It is a serious crime to behead.

 Today, there is still ivory trading on the black market, and a single ivory can be sold for a sky-high price.

 No more than that.

 Wild elephants are rare to see.

 Except for antiquities, most of them are returned from abroad.

Many people believe that grinding ivory into powder and taking it with water can cure all kinds of diseases, and they even believe it.

 So much so that this thing has a price but no market.

As long as you come out, you will definitely be robbed.

 Nowadays, ivory can be seen everywhere here. In the eyes of the thieves, where there are bones, they are clearly flowing gold and silver.

What’s more, the Xieling faction has always been a thief.

 Wherever it passes, no feathers are left behind.

“Why, are you still worried that they will run away?”

“When we return from King Xian’s Tomb, we will take them with us.”

 Look at those pairs of shining eyes.

How could Chen Yulou not understand their thoughts?

 After all, even he is a little greedy, but the ivory is too heavy and will only become a burden on the road.

 “Yes, from the shopkeeper.”

At first, the thieves were a little embarrassed after he revealed his thoughts.

　　But after hearing the last sentence, everyone felt like they were given a shot of chicken blood, and they kept shouting.

 Crossing the burial pit.

 In front is the cave...and the large lake.

Those sky lanterns have reached the edge of the cave roof, looking like stars floating in the night sky.

 It looks like the fire will not go out for a while.

 “Wait, what is that?”

 As soon as we got close to the lake.

There was a sharp-eyed man from a distance, pointing at a black shadow like a building in the mist and exclaimed.

 “Could it be a pavilion and a palace?”

 Treasure Palace?

Once they heard this, everyone could not bear it.

 Immediately held the wind lantern and leaned over.

As I got closer, I realized that it was a large ship stranded on the rocky beach, almost two stories high.

Unfortunately, two thousand years have passed and the ships have long since rotted away.

 Even the keel of the ship could no longer support it.

Some people relied on their agility. As soon as they got on the boat, the keel broke and the entire ship collapsed in an instant, turning into a pile of sawdust and smoke.

“Bah, bah, bah, damn, I thought I could pick up a boat for nothing.”

"What are you thinking about? This place is very damp. What kind of wood can last for thousands of years?"

The thieves were in a hurry.

 Chen Yulou was moved.

The scene he had seen before seemed to reappear in front of his eyes.

 The funeral procession took a big boat and crossed the river to return.

 In the end, only the high priest left.

“Okay, if you have time to be clever, you might as well tie up the raft first.”

 Chen Yulou said in a deep voice after coming back to his senses.

 Hear this.

The thieves quickly put down the broken bamboo and started working on the spot.

He was standing on the stone beach by the lake, looking at the endless lake in front of him.

 The fog is deeper on the lake.

 Even if there is a light above your head.

 You can only see a rough outline.

“Brother Chen... Could the water dragon halo refer to this lake?”

Partridge Whistle and the others also followed over at some point.

 Looking towards the lake, there was a look of amazement.

This lake is far wider than imagined.

"Won't."

 Chen Yulou shook his head bluntly.

“The terrain is too low and not connected to the outside world, so there is only earth energy but no skylight.”

“The water dragon’s halo is called the Immortal’s Cave, ranking first in Feng Shui’s eyes.”

“Although Chen has never seen it before, I imagine it is definitely not such a dark place.”

 “What about this lake?”

Hearing this, Partridge Whistle was thoughtful.

“The so-called hiding wind and gathering water, if you guessed it correctly, the water of the lake generates vitality, and the final place where it flows should be the water dragon halo we are looking for on this trip.”

 “Then cross the lake and go down the river, wouldn’t you be able to find it?!”

Partridge Whistle's heart moved.

 Before coming over, he just quietly used Xia Sinan.

But found that it was impossible to locate it at all.

He couldn't guess whether it was because the underground cave itself was weird, or whether it was because someone had tampered with it and changed the geomantic omen like the valley above.

"should be…"

 Chen Yulou nodded.

The current cave is called Gourd Cave because it is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, shaped like a flat gourd.

 And Hulukou.

 It is where the water dragon halo is.

It’s no wonder that since ancient times, many Feng Shui masters have spent their entire lives unable to find a water dragon halo.

So much so that I think that these Feng Shui treasure caves are simply made up by the ancients.

 The world does not exist at all.

I don’t know what the background of the high priest was, and he was able to find such a unique treasure cave for King Xian.

　While several people were talking.

 Suddenly there was a sound of water breaking not far behind me.

 Looking back, the thieves had already pushed the bamboo raft into the water.

●Because of yesterday’s experience, the gang of guys were quite familiar with it, and it only took less than half a quarter of an hour.

 “Let’s go, Brother Dao.”

Hello to a few people.

 Chen Yulou strode over and stepped onto the nearest bamboo raft.

 Others are not slow either.

Especially the Red Girl, Partridge Xian, Hua Ling, Kunlun, Lao Yangren and Yuan Hong.

 According to the previous plan.

 Seven people each guard a bamboo raft.

 In case something happens underwater, the guys on the mountain won’t be able to cope with it.

"Set off!"

No need to remind you.

The guys who were determined to fight for gold immediately picked up the bamboo poles and rowed hard into the lake when everyone arrived.

 The lights overhead are reflected on the lake.

 The bamboo raft moved.

 The surface of the water suddenly showed ripples like thousands of fish scales.

And the lake is vast, not as narrow as yesterday’s underground river. The seven bamboo rafts are very close to each other and connected front to back.

 If viewed from a high altitude.

 Like a green snake breaking through the water.

Everyone’s eyes were bright and full of expectations, as if this trip would definitely bring back mountains of gold and silver.

 Chen Yulou was standing at the bow of the ship, his back to everyone. His eyes, which were always calm and calm, revealed a rare nervousness.

  To those who are deceased.

This way, the snake demon is cut, breaking the wind and water, and the smooth and smooth water, and the tomb of the king is near the eyes.

 But only he knows.

Those are just appetizers.

 The real danger has yet to surface.

"Lights went out…"

 I don’t know how long it will take.

The last sky lantern overhead has also burned out.

The whole world was once again plunged into ink-like darkness, with only the wind lanterns hanging on the front and back of the bamboo raft still on.

 If it’s an ordinary day.

 A dozen flickering fires are enough.

 But now placed on such a vast lake, it looks like a firefly.

“Shopkeeper, would you like to light a few more?”

 The guys on the same boat asked for instructions in a low voice.

 Before coming down, they prepared a large number of torches and also brought a lot of wind lanterns.

"temporary…"

 Chen Yulou shook his head and was about to speak.

 The next moment, he seemed to notice something, the voice suddenly stopped, and people turned around to look.

I saw a faint blue light suddenly appear on the originally dark lake.

Like an erratic will-o'-the-wisp.

 “That’s it!”

 “They’re back again.”

Zhang Yunqiao's face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and he grabbed the spear with both hands.

 When they returned from visiting the tomb.

 At the last moment, what he saw was the will-o'-the-wisp covering the lake.

He was originally worried before entering the water, but luckily there was nothing unusual along the way, but they suddenly appeared after the fire went out.

 “Why are you panicking? Stay still!”

Chen Yulou frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

 At the same time, his eyes silently met with those of Partridge Whistle and others on several other ships.

 Hinted them to wait and see what happens.

 The bamboo raft slowly stopped and floated on the water.

 The group of people stared at the blue light, trying to see what happened to it.

　　However, for half a minute, it seemed to be stagnant.

　　Just floating on the water motionless.

 The guys who didn't know why looked at each other in confusion.

He didn’t dare to move.

 While they were staring into the distance.

 Less than a few meters away from the bamboo raft, there was a sudden sound of rushing water on the left side of the water.

"who?"

 The person guarding the bamboo raft is Miss Hong.

Her beautiful eyebrows were lowered, a cold light flashed in her hand, and a short knife was tightly held between her fingers.

 But it was too late to shoot the hidden knife.

 Another sound of water breaking came...

 No, there are countless ways.

 The entire lake was like a boiling furnace for an instant.

At the same time, countless blue lights emerged one after another from the mist.

No one could have imagined this strange situation, and the atmosphere was so depressing that people could hardly breathe.

There was blue light floating all the way to the edge of the bamboo raft.

 A group of people looked down.

　　Then, the fearful eyes suddenly widened, as if they had seen a ghost... No, they just saw a ghost.

That flashing blue light.

 It is not the expected evil in the water.

Rather, it was a female corpse whose entire body was made of plain material.

With the faint light from the bow lantern, they could even clearly see her face as cold as ice.

  It gives people an illusion.

  As if she had been carved out of snow-capped ice blocks.

“God, doesn’t this mean that the lake is full of dead drifters?”

I'm sorry, I've been having trouble with day and night these past few days, and my schedule has been completely messed up. When I woke up today and downed a cup of coffee, my heart started to beat wildly, and I felt flustered and short of breath. I almost thought I was going to die.
