Chapter 816 Departure
"Old woman, do you think the guest just now looks like an immortal?"
Chen Liu didn't notice it at first, but when his hand touched the bowl of noodles, he suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked at the back of the donkey in the alley.
At this glance, the wonderful feeling became more and more obvious.
"Immortal, immortal! I think you are crazy. There are no immortals in this world! If there are immortals, why didn't an immortal take the high positions, high salaries, gold, silver and beautiful women promised by the emperor in the past few years."
"How can the things that immortals pursue be the same as us ordinary people? Gold, silver, treasures, high positions and high salaries are just dung in the eyes of immortals! Even beautiful women are just dry bones."
The stall owner put down the things in his hands, turned around and ran towards the ancestral house next to him.
Opening the door, Chen Liu rummaged inside for a long time, and finally dragged out two large boxes from a cellar.
These boxes are all filled with their Chen family's genealogy.
It's strange to say that these things have not changed at all over the past few hundred years. From the surface, these genealogies are just ordinary paper. The only characteristic is that they are not eroded by water and fire, and they are not corrupted by time. This characteristic keeps the genealogy of the Chen family in a relatively new perspective. When the old man was a gambler, he wanted to pawn the genealogy, but unfortunately the owner of the pawnshop at that time didn't believe that these genealogies of their Chen family were old objects, so they didn't let the genealogy be bought.
Open the box, and there are piles of neatly arranged books inside.
It records the life trajectories of some important ancestors in the family, when they were born, when they were transferred, what official rank they held, etc. When Chen Liu was a child, his favorite thing to do was to read the genealogy.
Because the family was too poor and his father had no money to buy him books, the genealogy became the only book he could read when he was young.
Skipping the last few books, Chen Liu quickly found a scroll at the bottom of the box.
He had seen this painting when he was a child. It recorded the first generation ancestor of their Chen family, which was the immortal in Chen Liu's mouth. Chen Liu has always believed that there are immortals in the world for so many years, just because he has seen this painting.
Huh!!
Chen Liu picked up the scroll from the bottom of the box and blew away the dust on it in one breath. Then he pulled the scroll and slowly opened it.
"Why are you so crazy in the middle of the night? You don't even do business."
The old woman also followed in. She didn't understand what happened to Chen Liu.
In the past, Chen Liu often mentioned the genealogy of their old Chen family to others and talked about immortals. But like today, it was the first time she saw someone abandoning the stall and running home to look up the genealogy.
"It's him!"
"It's him."
Chen Liu looked at the person on the scroll with a shocked face.
The Chen family was also a noble family back then, and the painter responsible for painting Chen Luo's portrait was not an ordinary person. Although it was outlined in ink and wash, the face and temperament of the person in the painting were all vivid on the paper, and even after hundreds of years, these things have not changed. The old woman standing behind Chen Liu also saw the face of the person in the painting.
After seeing this, she was also stunned. If it was just a coincidence, it could be explained, but that kind of special temperament is definitely not something that can be imitated by similar people.
"Is it really a god? Your ancestor?"
This incredible thing made the old woman a little at a loss.
Chen Liu was so excited that he didn't care about his wife's thoughts. He took the scroll and ran back to the alley as fast as he could. The wooden barrel for boiling soup was still steaming, and the lantern hanging in front of the stall swayed gently with the night wind.
But the figure leading the donkey had disappeared long ago.
Chen Liu searched around for a long time, but couldn't find the other party. In the end, he could only return to the noodle stall dejectedly.
"Didn't you find it?"
Looking at Chen Liu who had returned, the old woman couldn't help asking.
"No."
Chen Liu sighed and sat back at the table where Chen Luo had eaten noodles just now, but the copper coin on the table had turned into a palm-sized purple sand gourd at some point.
Chen Liu and his wife looked at the gourd that suddenly appeared in surprise and picked it up carefully.
It's strange.
Before, the couple went back to the house, and such a big gourd was placed on the table, but no passerby saw it. Even if he held the gourd in his hand, the people passing by didn't even look at it, as if in their eyes, there was no gourd at all.
"This is an elixir!!"
Chen Liu opened the lid of the gourd, and two round pills rolled out of it.
After leaving Qingya County, Chen Luo went to Shangjing City.
Then he went to the place where Xie Shuang and Du Jian sat and died. Hundreds of years later, the inheritance that these two old friends insisted on for a lifetime was eventually not passed down. Whether it is the bamboo forest created by the Cuizhu Fairy or the Taoist temple left by the Heart Fire Taoist, all of them have become ruins.
Not every generation can find descendants with spiritual roots.
Especially in the land of Yue, once there is no spiritual root descendant to inherit, the so-called immortal classics will immediately become waste paper, even worse than martial arts secrets.
The most ruthless is time.
Barren mountain, lonely grave.
Fallen leaves all over the mountain.
Chen Luo lit two incense sticks for his two old friends and then left. Before going down the mountain, Chen Luo saw an old man in a dragon robe at the foot of the mountain, with many people following him. Most of these people were martial arts masters, and one or two of them were wearing Taoist costumes. Judging from their appearance, these two people really looked like immortals, but there was no spiritual energy on them.
Chen Luo just glanced at them and ignored them.
"Who is that person?"
Looking at Chen Luo's retreating figure, the old man in dragon robe frowned and asked.
"Maybe he's from the mountains."
A fat monk with a rich face next to him said something. He had seen Chen Luo a long time ago, but in the eyes of them, Chen Luo was also a liar like them, and naturally he was unwilling to add more competitors to himself.
"How did he find this place?"
The gorgeous old man looked at Chen Luo's leaving figure, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. This man is the current Emperor of Chu. He has reigned for thirty-one years and has great power, taking life and death at his disposal. Over the years, he opened canals, promoted imperial examinations, intimidated barbarians externally, suppressed clans internally, and pushed his power and prestige to the pinnacle.
It's a pity that time is ruthless, and even though he is so strong, he gradually feels that he is powerless.
Over the years, Emperor Chu has been seeking immortality and seeking ways to prolong his life.
Because of this preference of his, the Da Chu royal family has recruited many 'talented people and strangers' over the years. These people around him are the 'masters' that the Da Chu royal family has recruited over the years. They came to this barren mountain place this time to find the immortal tomb left by the Yue Kingdom in the past, trying to find the method of immortality from inside.
"When the Yue Kingdom fell in the past, many people survived. This person may be a descendant of these people."
The Taoist next to Emperor Chu also said something.
"The remnants of the previous dynasty, how exactly does the Mirror Tower do things?"
Emperor Chu withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards the mountain.
The moment they stepped onto the mountain, a strange stream of light flashed through. The several lonely graves that originally stood here were all hidden by the power of the formation. The group of them searched inside and outside the mountain several times, but could not find the tombs that Spiegel Station had explored.
Chen Luo left Shangjing.
The traces left by the Yue Kingdom in the past have been completely destroyed by the new dynasty. Even in a capital city like Shangjing City, it is difficult to find traces of the old days.
Half a month later.
Chen Luo left the land of Yue and returned to the emperor's tomb from the ancient tomb.
Go quietly.
Just like when I came here, no one knew.
Returning to the world of cultivating immortals again, familiar auras came from all directions. After staying in the Yue Kingdom, even a place with thin spiritual energy like the Tiannan Territory can be regarded as a holy land for cultivating immortals.
"Brother, I'll see you next time."
When leaving by the way, Chen Luo collected some of Changqing's brains.
The degree of perfection has been further improved, but at this point, the partial perfection is not enough to affect Chen Luo's overall strength.
After walking out of the Dragon Tomb, Chen Luo flew eastward to the depths of the sea.
There was no living person in this area. Except for a few flying birds and schools of fish under the water, Chen Luo was the only one left in the world. He opened his hands and released his breath unbridled.
Heavenly catastrophe!
Dark clouds gather, and the purple thunder dragon rushes down
A few days later.
Chen Luo left the sea area. For him who had experienced the Hedao Heavenly Tribulation, a simple thunder tribulation was not enough to pose any threat to him. He did not even need to set up formations or prepare tribulation weapons.
After absorbing the power of Thunder Tribulation, his physical strength reached perfection and he officially broke through to the early stage of Hedao.
The three phases are unified. At this point, the accumulation brought about by the ancient journey has been completely digested.
The only thing that puzzled Chen Luo was that the inner demon calamity still didn't appear. It seems that after reaching the Hedao realm, the inner demon tribulation completely disappeared.
"Brother, you are finally back!"
Qionghua faction.
The flower-backed turtle looked at Chen Luo falling from the sky, with an excited look on his face. Being chased by Zi Ruyi this time was truly the most dangerous experience he had experienced since the tomb robbery. The foundation of the Immortal Clan was a reminder to him that these forces should not be provoked for the time being until a method to crack the Immortal Clan's tracking was found.
"Master."
Ao Ye stepped forward and said hello.
The other Qionghua Sect disciples were also standing below. Each of these people looked at Chen Luo with admiration.
For these backward Qionghua Sect disciples, Chen Luo is the existence of the ancestor. He single-handedly turned the tide and turned the Qionghua Sect from the sect that was almost destroyed by the Lingchi into the current overlord of Tiannan Territory. .
Chen Luo now has a higher prestige among the Qionghua Sect than the Seventh Patriarch of Qionghua in the past.
"My master has prepared a forbidden land talisman for you. Go on your own."
Chen Luo took out a stone talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Ao Ye.
This stone talisman was made temporarily by him, and it contained a brain created by the 'Reverse Seizing Method'. Ao Ye only needs to activate this talisman and he will be transported to a sealed space. In that space, he will only have this clone made by Ni Shefa to keep him company.
If you don't break through the Nascent Soul Realm, you will never be able to come out.
In order to prevent Ao Ye from being lazy, Chen Luo even made the clone look like him. I believe that with his master accompanying him day and night, he will definitely practice well and change his lazy habit.
Ao Ye looked bitter and took a look at the stone talisman.
"can it"
call out!
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Luo wave his sleeves, and the stone talisman in his hand lit up on its own, turning into a black vortex and sucking him into it.
The scene suddenly became calm. (End of chapter)
