Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain Chapter 272

 The wind is howling.

 The night passed quietly.

The next day, when the genius was bright, Chen Yulou opened the tent door and looked up. Yesterday, the ancient city where the sky was full of yellow sand and black dragons were now covered with white snow.

 The chill is coming.

He couldn't help but rub his hands.

 “It's almost the Chinese New Year…”

 It was almost midwinter when I left.

 But more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

 Perhaps even longer.

 After all, walking through the vast desert, there is almost no sense of time.

 Calculating the time, it's almost the end of the year.

According to the custom of previous years, red paper Spring Festival couplets are posted on the left and right sides of every door, the door **** or Hehe is posted on the door leaf, and three red spring banners are posted on the lintel.

In addition, a Dendrobium bucket is used to hold rice, and elm branches are hung with red paper money inserted in it. It is placed in the middle hall, which means "the family has more money".

 At dawn, the whole family gathers together to have a family reunion dinner.

 After dinner, they put on colorful clothes and fired cannons to make stars appear in the sky.

At dawn, Uncle Yu will invite the county's opera troupe to perform either Huagu, Nuo Opera Qinggu Hall, or Xiangxi Yang Opera, not only to celebrate the new year, but also to welcome the spring.

 At that time of year, Zhuangzi was bustling with activity.

Every household, men, women, old and young, arrived at the stage outside the city early to wait.

 Especially this year, it is rare to have a good harvest.

 Every household has a surplus of grain.

 The Chinese New Year will be more lively.

 He had thought about it before.

 After all, it is the first year after coming into this world.

Although Xiangyin is not his hometown, it is also his final destination.

 It's better to be lively after all.

But things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that it would be a rare occasion to celebrate the New Year? Their group was actually thousands of miles away in the desert of the Western Regions. Not to mention the New Year's Eve dinner, there was no human habitation.

 As soon as they left, Uncle Yu and a few other old guys were the only ones in the village.

 It is estimated to be even more deserted than in previous years.

Have no idea.

The excitement is only temporary. He aims to live forever. If he wants to do this, the ghost cave under Shuanghei Mountain is an insurmountable hurdle.

 Shaked his head.

 Get rid of distracting thoughts in your mind.

 Chen Yulou opened the door and left.

Not long after, a long series of footprints were left in the white camp behind them.

 Several guys who took turns keeping watch last night.

Huddled against the campfire.

 He was casually covered with blankets, robes, etc. to keep out the cold.

　　After burning all night, the fire in the fire pit was about to burn out, leaving only scattered charcoal fire.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but step forward to wake up a few people and motioned them to go back to the tent to rest.

 Then he walked straight out.

 His original intention was not to alarm anyone.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the camp, a figure suddenly opened the door curtain.

Yuan Hong couldn't help but look stunned when he saw him.

"Owner…"

"So early?"

 Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.

Since entering the Western Regions, Yuan Hong has rarely been seen. The low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero in the desert is definitely a physical and psychological test for him.

 But when I have free time, I immerse myself in practice alone.

 “Can't sleep.”

Yuan Hong scratched his head and smiled.

“That's good, come with me for a walk in the ancient city.”

Once he heard what it said, Chen Yulou immediately understood.

Although the Zagrama Mountains cover the outside of Jingjue Ancient City and block most of the cold wind, as a psychic monster, Yuan Hong's five senses and six senses are sharper than Partridge Whistle and the others.

The remains of the snake **** deep in the ghost cave exude a terrifying aura that affects Zhou Tian all the time.

 Chen Yulou can be defeated in one go.

It's because I feel the same way.

 In a team of 300 people, the ones most affected were probably him, Yuan Hong and Luofu.

That guy is not willing to get close to the ancient city of the Holy Mountain for the time being.

 Hide among the Black Mountains a few miles away.

 The life was quite comfortable.

 He drove three goshawks to explore the way for him to hunt.

Thinking of it at this moment, Chen Yulou's mind moved, and in an instant, he looked at the heaven and earth in Niwan Palace.

 The vastness is like a starry sky.

 One is dark, two are bright, and three star-like light spots are floating.

Those are the three spiritual seeds he has planted so far.

 Luofu, Yuan Hong and Zhou Jiao.

Zhou Jiao's light was the dimmest because he was too far away, while Luofu's strength was far superior to Yuan Hong's, and his spiritual seed was the most astonishing, shining brightly like a bright sun.

 The spiritual consciousness is immersed in the spiritual seed.

 The next moment, the vision in front of me suddenly became clear.

The first thing that caught his eye was a vast expanse of sand dunes, with rolling black mountains below him. Luofu stood on the top of the mountain, and in the distance three goshawks were surrounding and killing a sand wolf.

 Compared to the wolves that Po Li and the others captured that day, they were infinitely stronger in terms of size and ferociousness.

 And Luofu seemed to have noticed something.

 He raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the Holy Mountain.

Chen Yulou took back his consciousness and opened his eyes. Yuan Hong in front of him was staring at him curiously. He couldn't help but waved his hand, "It's nothing, let's go first."

  Master and servant two people.

 Go around the camp one after the other.

 Not long.

On the white snow, two lines of footprints, one deep and one shallow, staggered into the city.

 Approaching a section of the ancient city wall that had mostly collapsed.

Chen Yulou took a breath, activated his magic skills, and jumped up to the wall in one step.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Hong was not slow. It was a gibbon, and it was best at climbing rocks and going down streams. Now that it had refined the mandrill bones, its speed was even more astonishing.

Hatching a raised stone brick on the city wall with one hand, no matter how hard it was, the next moment it was like a line of blue smoke rising up against the vertical wall, leaping up and landing behind Chen Yulou.

"Owner…"

I saw my master looking at the distance in the city in a trance.

Yuan Hong also looked around subconsciously.

But with his eyesight, the entire ancient city was completely white. Not only could he not see any difference, but it actually made his eyes sting due to the illumination.

“I remember that the mandrill has a gift of supernatural power and can detect the earth's veins.”

“Yuan Hong, have you ever learned this?”

 Chen Yulou asked instead without rushing to answer its question.

The mandrill is the ghost in the mountains, and the dragon is the **** of the river in Sichuan.

 One can sense earth veins, and the other can detect water veins.

Within a few months, Yuan Hong's body was covered with black gold luster. Depending on the situation, he had refined at least thirty mandrill bones, and he was almost able to awaken his innate supernatural powers.

 Just like Luofu's phoenix fire after awakening from his ancestral blood.

 It is the talent reflected in the blood.

"this…"

 I heard the master suddenly ask about this matter.

Yuan Hong was startled for a moment, then nodded.

It does have some awakening, but it's not proficient enough.

However, if the owner asks, it will naturally not refuse.

 “Try it.”

 “Can you find the location of the underground snake cave?”

Seeing it nod, Chen Yulou's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately pointed to the ancient city in front of him.

 The reason why he woke up early.

In addition to being affected by the remains of the snake god, another thing is that when Hoja escaped from the ancient city last night, the will-o'-the-wisp floating in the dark night, that is, the snake mother, made people a little uneasy.

If he could just see Agama, he wouldn't be too worried.

 The only thing to note is its venom.

But the snake mother is different. As the leader of the snake tide, the snake mother is like the snake god's clone. Although it is far less powerful than it, compared with the green-scaled giant python in the lake outside Zhelong Mountain's Insect Valley, it is not an exaggeration to hang it up and beat it. .

 It is clear that Agama is just poison.

 But Snake Mother has become a great demon.

Think of a monster that is as big as a python, as fast as lightning, and as poisonous as it is, sneaking and ambushing in the ancient underground city.

 They can handle it, but what about regular guys?

 At that time, Hoja and the others will learn from the past.

 “Yes, Master.”

 Hear this.

Yuan Hong didn't hesitate at all.

　　Stepping on the city wall beneath him, he leaped forward and passed through the city like smoke.

 Not long.

 It stopped on a sand dune.

 There are no earthen buildings around. He took a deep breath, and his body was filled with demonic power. Dozens of mandrill bones under his chest were ignited little by little, giving off dots of black-gold luster.

 Wait until the breath all over your body calms down.

 Then he bent his knees and half-squatted, spread his hands and placed them on the sand dune.

 A pair of amber eyes slowly closed.

next moment.

 An indescribable aura seeped out from its palm and went deep into the ground along the sand dunes.

 “Sou Shan Shu?”

 “Looking for dragon sand?”

 At the top of the city not far behind you.

 Chen Yulou was watching this scene intently, his eyes flickered, and he murmured.

 Soushan is one of the Taoist techniques.

 Looking for the dragon and dotting the sand is the art of Feng Shui.

Although he knew that what Yuan Hong did was a natural talent of the mandrill lineage, his actions were very similar to Sou Shan.

However, the technique can search mountains, but it cannot penetrate deeply into the earth's veins.

 Obviously the mountain search technique is far from that magical.

 A wisp of energy in the palm of my hand, wandering among the veins of the sand dunes.

Not long after, Yuan Hong faintly 'saw' the royal city underground. Although he could only roughly perceive the outline, it was an indescribable experience for him who had used this method for the first time.

Even if the eyes are tightly closed.

 But you can still see the wonder in its expression.

 The jet-black qi machine is like a small snake, constantly going deep into the ground.

 Not long.

Yuan Hong's heart trembled.

 The surprise on his face was replaced by fear and uneasiness.

 In the darkness, it saw countless eyes densely packed...

 The most amazing pair among them is like two lanterns floating in the dark night.

The owner of those eyes seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly raised his head and glanced at the location of the source of energy.

Boom—

 It is a moment.

Yuan Hong's expression changed and he quickly regained his strength.

The eyes didn't see anything strange, so they looked away.

"Eye?"

 Not long.

 Wait until it suppresses the turmoil in its heart, returns to the city, and tells what it saw.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but twitching slightly in the corners of his eyes.

“Yes, it is very alert. I only dared to take a peek from a distance.”

Yuan Hong was still a little scared, so he nodded and explained.

　　It should be the female snake that chased Hoja last night and hid under the sand dunes of the ancient city.

 Listening to its narration, Chen Yulou has almost confirmed 60 to 70% of it.

 “Do you remember the place clearly?”

"Remember...I saw an underground river, and those strange things were entrenched on the other side."

 Hear this.

Chen Yulou's eyes flashed slightly.

　　After comparing the map of Jingjue Ancient City, I got a rough guess as to where the Snake Cave is.

"good."

　　"Your natural talent and magical powers are...fit for those of us who are in a fight."

Although it is not clear how Yuan Hong uses it.

 But that golden snake-like aura did not escape Chen Yulou's gaze.

The Mojin faction looks for dragons and digs holes, moves mountain gates, divides armor and digs buckets, while his Xieling faction is digging for earth and clearing coffins.

 But it seems that they are not as good as Yuan Hong's methods.

 It is also a monster. If it is a Jianghu person, it can definitely establish a sect with its methods.

Hearing this, Yuan Hong didn't know whether he was praising him or what, he just touched his head and smiled.

 “Okay, it's already daybreak.”

 “Let's talk about it when we get back.”

Seeing that it didn't talk to him, Chen Yulou didn't mind. Yuan Hong wasn't the two-headed armored beast from the mountain range, so he was overqualified to fight upside down.

At the moment, standing at the top of the city, the cold wind is blowing, and the fragrance of the food can still be faintly smelled.

 Most likely, the guys have already woken up and are preparing breakfast.

 “Yes, Master.”

Yuan Hong nodded.

　　Nor hesitate.

 The two of them walked through the ancient city, rabbits rising and falcons falling, like smoke.

 It was one step behind, and it kept thinking about the gains from the secret technique just now.

 Mandrills are ghosts in the mountains who search the mountains to subjugate demons and suppress the earth's veins.

At present, less than one-fifth of the bloodline has been awakened, but the innate magical power is so amazing that it can't help but have more visions for the future.

 Let alone the day when the mandrill bone was fused.

 The image it saw in the mandrill's memory.

 Moving mountains.

Hold the city to the sky.

That is its imagined goal.

Back at the camp, everyone has indeed woken up.

Young guys are sitting around chatting.

By now, they all know that the destination of this trip to the Western Regions is actually the ancient city of Jingjue.

 In the past, we went to the tombs to fight, but now we are excavating ancient cities.

This kind of experience made them temporarily ignore the harsh environment of the cold winter and the yellow sand in the sky.

 Everyone is gearing up and seems to be ready to dig gold.

while eating.

Chen Yulou specially asked the kidnapper to bring some jars of kumiss.

It was still the inventory I brought with me when I set off from Kunmo City.

 I don't really want to drink it on weekdays. After all, it is a life-saving thing when there is a lack of water or hypothermia.

The Danzi River flows through the ancient city.

 There is no shortage of water today.

and…

 “It's the New Year's Eve in these two days.”

“Now that we are all far away in a foreign land, our conditions are limited and we cannot afford big fish and meat, but we can still celebrate with a drink of wine.”

Chen Yulou held up a wine cup.

 Looking at the slightly stunned people around him, he smiled.

 “Is the new year over?”

"So fast."

“It seems that the time is almost up.”

 “Another year has passed.”

Hearing what he said, the Xiling group of thieves reacted.

 Set off in mid-winter and arrive at the end of the year.

Even though I was mentally prepared when I came, I only realized how fast time was when I heard it now.

But they are all Jianghu people, and they are not as serious about the New Year celebrations as the treasures hidden in the ancient city.

 “Thank you very much, chief.”

 “It's a good year to dig out this ancient city!”

 “This is no better than a back-and-forth fight.”

 Everyone who came back to their senses, including Partridge Whistle, Yang Fang and others, all raised their wine cups. The few jars of wine were distributed to everyone, and they could only taste it briefly.

 But no one cared.

 Instead, he laughed, raised his head and drank in one gulp.

 Looking at the eager and excited young faces.

Chen Yulou also drank the strong wine in the glass in one gulp.

 Feeling the burning sensation under my chest, I felt quite uncomfortable.

 After this trip.

How many of these three hundred people can return to Changsheng Mountain safe and sound?

but.

This thought just flashed through his mind and was quickly suppressed by him.

Duckweed in troubled times is inherently difficult to survive, and no one is fighting to survive.

If you want to get ahead, you have to sacrifice your life.

 Having eaten.

 Except for a few people guarding the camp.

The mighty team marched straight into the ancient city.

However, the lines are clear. The team of 300 people is divided into three teams. Two teams are digging into the ancient city. They are led by Guaizi and Hong girl respectively. Their task is to find gold and silver.

 Another team.

  Including Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao.

Oona leads the way.

Go straight to the black stone tower in the city, or the temple to be precise! (End of chapter)
