Chen Yulou knew that what Luo Laowai said were all angry words. Even if there were 10,000 troops and 100,000 troops, if they wanted to dig out such an ancient tomb in a big rocky mountain, I'm afraid it would not be possible within ten days and a half. of.
He had no choice but to calm down the furious Luo Laowai, and the group returned to Nazan Hall to rest.
That night, Chen Yulou looked at the bright moon in the sky alone, thinking to himself: This time he personally led his men into Pingshan from the top of the mountain and from the foot of the mountain. Not only did they all return without success, but he also killed many brothers in vain. Most of them are elite members of the Xiling group of bandits.
If it weren't for the Taoist priest's many assistants, I'm afraid Chen Yulou wouldn't even know whether he was alive today.
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou had the idea of ​​recruiting Zhang Lin, but thinking of Zhang Lin's methods and the legacy of the three generations of the Chen family, he quickly gave up the idea.
Then he thought to himself: If he returns in vain this time, not to mention that his golden position at the "rudder" will not be stable, even the top of "Everlasting Victory Mountain" will fall apart. Chen Yulou is ambitious and often thinks about achieving great things. He has worked hard over the years and spent a lot of effort.
He is ambitious and talented, has great skills and knowledge, and is tolerant of others. He is accustomed to using the word loyalty to win people's hearts. He is born to be a leader, but he is also arrogant and has never refused to admit defeat. He only looks at the situation. It does not determine victory or defeat, and this shows a slight lack of skill.
Now that I have hit a wall in this bottle mountain and lost face, how can I give up so easily?
Luo Laowai's words reached his heart. What would happen if he didn't steal this bottle mountain?
Chen Yulou made up his mind and said to everyone: "Victory or defeat is unpredictable. A man is shy and can endure shame. The children of Jiangdong are so talented and talented. It is unknown whether he will make a comeback...Brothers, please don't be impatient. We will take a rest for a while." Chen will go to Pingshan Mountain again soon. If he doesn’t dig up this ancient tomb in the mountain, he must be sorry to those brothers who have broken it!"
After that, he asked Miss Hong and others to place blood wine and swear an oath of poison under the moonlight, and established the rules. They also placed memorial tablets for the thieves who died tragically in the righteous village, burned incense and paper.
According to the custom of the Sa family in western Hunan, many paper figurines were tied, and the names and birth dates of the masters were written on them. They were burned in front of the tomb, and they were left to serve the masters underneath.
For several days, Chen Yulou asked Luo Laowai to recuperate in the library, while he just sat alone in the yizhuang behind closed doors, thinking about a plan to rob the tomb in Pingshan.
There is probably no other wonder like this Pingshan ancient tomb in the world. Although you can enter from the top of the mountain and go straight to the middle palace, poisons are hidden in the tomb and it is difficult to prevent it. Even the immortal Arhat cannot save his life if he is bitten. Digging in from the front hall or side hall, who knows whether you will accidentally enter another suspicious tomb and a false tomb.
Moreover, the stone mountain is solid, with huge rocks and lead water sealing the door, and there are many mechanisms inside. I heard that in the Song Dynasty, Pingshan once had a map of the general center of the mechanism. Later, it fell into the hands of the Yuan people. After the tomb was sealed and buried, the map was destroyed. Now I want to break it all Among them, the mechanism is really difficult to reach the sky.
After thinking about it, in this Pingshan Mountain, it is impossible to achieve anything with the power of Xiling alone. I can only hope that Taoist Banshan Taoist people will come to join us as soon as possible.
When the time comes, he can use the art of moving mountains to divide armor and combine the power of unloading mountains. He will not believe that Pingshan cannot be opened.
However, he did not follow the agreement with the Partridge Post to explore the terrain of Pingshan Mountain first. It might be difficult to talk about it when we meet one day. He had to do something to impress the Partridge Post.
But in this deep mountain and old forest, apart from the fact that I had stolen the Pingshan Mountain before him, what else could impress him?
Chen Yulou frowned deeply, fearing that this time he would lose face to the Banshan Faction and his own Pioling Faction.
When he was bored, he suddenly saw a wooden sculpture standing in front of the gate of Nayizhuang. Chen Yulou didn't pay much attention to it at first, because these wooden sculptures were found in every house of the cave people in the Laoxiong Ridge area, and they were totems of their worship.
But when Chen Yulou, who was thinking about how not to lose face in front of the Partridge Whistle, saw it, he always felt that the wood carving was extraordinary and seemed familiar.
This idea was just a thought, but he remembered that when the group first entered Laoxiong Ridge, they stepped on plates and picked up tongues in the cave people's village. There were also many such wood carvings under the eaves of those houses, so he stopped paying attention at the moment.
At this time, Miss Hong and Zhang Lin came together from outside. Miss Hong was talking to Zhang Lin, but Zhang Lin ignored them.
When they saw Chen Yulou, they each nodded in greeting.
When Chen Yulou saw Zhang Lin, a sudden flash of memory flashed through his mind. Aren't these wood carvings just like Zhang Lin's strange tattoos?
Although I couldn't see it very clearly at the time, I thought that with Taoist priest's ability, the only ones that could be tattooed on the body were the phoenix and the suzaku, because only these birds and mythical beasts had the ability to ward off evil and avoid harm.
At that time, the tattoo was used to detoxify, wasn’t it exactly what it was supposed to do?
If Zhang Lin has a phoenix tattooed on his body, then the Muchen Bead that he moved to search for is also known as the Phoenix Gallbladder. If Zhang Lin has a phoenix tattooed on his body, is he related to the Muchen Bead?
Chen Yulou thought and hurriedly pulled Miss Hong into the house.
When the two entered the house, Miss Hong saw Chen Yulou busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and asked suspiciously: "Boss, what are you doing? It's such a busy day in the day?"
Chen Yulou didn't care about Miss Hong. He closed his eyes and recalled for a while, then started drawing with a pen. After a while, an image of a mythical beast appeared on the paper.
Miss Hong frowned and asked, "Boss, what are you drawing?"
Chen Yulou looked at Miss Hong and asked, "Then what do you think it looks like?"
"Phoenix?" Then he shook his head and said, "No way! Suzaku? I don't want to either?"
Chen Yulou heard this and thought hard: "What's wrong?"
While he was thinking about it, Chen Yulou suddenly heard someone say: "It's the Golden Crow, but your painting is missing a leg!"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he hurriedly put on his legs. The moment he saw was indeed very similar to what he saw then. When he was overjoyed, he looked up and saw Zhang Lin.
Then he smiled and said, "Taoist Priest, when did you come in?"
Miss Hong said strangely: "Boss, the Taoist priest is always with me? Didn't you see? I just greeted you outside."
Chen Yulou:...Didn’t I see it? The question is when did he come in?
Miss Hong saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, and was very curious. It was just a painting, so why did the boss seem to be facing a formidable enemy? Faced with the densely packed centipedes that day, she had never seen the boss so rude!
While he was thinking about it, Zhang Lin picked up the painting and looked at it and said: "The painting is good, you can give it to me!"
Chen Yulou was so busy when he heard this: "Since Taoist Master likes it, just take it."
Zhang Lin nodded, rolled up the scroll and said, "Mr. Chen can only draw this one after thinking about it, right?"
Chen Yulou said: "Of course, the one given to the Taoist Master is naturally unique."
Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Then you continue your work!" After saying that, he took the painting and left.
When Chen Yulou saw Zhang Lin leaving, he was granted amnesty. But when he saw Zhang Lin coming to the door, he mustered up the courage to ask: "The Taoist Master is a strange person in the world. Have you ever heard of Muchen Beads?"
Zhang Linda said: "I've never heard of it!"
Chen Yulou asked again: "What about the phoenix courage?"
Zhang Lin replied impatiently: "I've never heard of it either!"
Chen Yulou bowed his hands and said, "I'm annoying the Taoist priest!"
The painting in Zhang Lin's hand spontaneously ignited, and he said in an unhappy tone: "What I hate the most is people like you!"
Chen Yulou apologized and said: "My friend needs help, please don't blame me!"
Zhang Lindao: "Everything in this world, whether it's a drink or a peck, is determined. How can a mere mortal go against the destiny of heaven? You... take care of yourself!"
Chen Yulou said: "Thank you very much for Taoist Priest Jinsou's words, but Yulou often hears: Man is determined to conquer nature, what can't be done if he can't do it?"
Zhang Lin chuckled and said: "Man is determined to conquer heaven, how could he know that it is not destiny!"
After saying that, he went away, leaving Chen Yulou alone to meditate.
Miss Hong listened with confusion. Seeing Zhang Lin leaving and Chen Yulou remaining silent, she asked: "Boss, what are you talking about, the Muchen Bead, the phoenix's courage, what is that? Why do you still talk about destiny, that man can conquer nature?"
?”
After Chen Yulou heard this, he came back to his senses and saw Miss Hong waiting for him to answer his doubts, so he said: "Don't ask around. Don't mention what happened just now to anyone. Just pretend you don't know anything."
Hearing this, Miss Hong said thoughtfully, and then continued: "Then what are you drawing, boss? How come the Taoist priest knows what you are drawing? That Golden Crow, I remember..."
"...Oh, I don't know anything."
When Chen Yulou heard this, he put away the pen and paper angrily. The red girl said again: "That's right, boss..."
Chen Yulou: "..."
Miss Hong saw Chen Yulou looking at her with eyes that seemed to kill someone, so she hurriedly whispered: "It has nothing to do with what happened just now. Didn't you ask me to buy amulets from the Taoist Priest?"
After hearing that it was not about what happened just now, Chen Yulou relaxed his eyes and asked: "Yes, what's wrong?"
When Miss Hong saw this, Fang Yi said angrily: "The Taoist Master said that you already owe him 1,800 silver dollars. If you want to buy the talisman, you must first pay him back half of the silver dollars, otherwise he will not sell it.
Speaking of boss, wasn’t it only one thousand the day before yesterday? How come it’s one thousand eight hundred today?”
Chen Yulou said with a sinister face: "What do you think?"
Miss Hong hesitated and said: "You escaped from Weng City, and the Taoist Master took action again? How many talismans and seals did you use?"
Chen Yulou said angrily: "The selling fee alone is five hundred, what do you think?"
"This is too dark!" Miss Hong said angrily after hearing this: "Besides, wasn't he hired by the old man to protect you? Why did he charge privately?"
"There is no conflict!" Chen Yulou said: "He is protecting me, but he is saving his brothers.
You have to think about it, can the lives of brothers be bought with that little silver dollar?
Wouldn’t it be nice to spend some silver dollars and keep everyone safe?”
Miss Hong nodded and said, "Boss, what you said makes sense."
"Otherwise?" Chen Yulou said: "This is why three generations of our Chen family are the leaders. It is nothing to spend a little money to protect our brothers."
Miss Hong was still dissatisfied and said, "But that's eighteen hundred silver dollars!"
Then he came to his senses and said, "No, boss, I'm speaking for you, why are you still helping the Taoist leader?"
Chen Yulou said: "This is why I can be the leader of this green forest road. It's only eighteen hundred silver dollars. When I return to Xiangyin, I will pay it off. Not only will I pay it off, but also Luo Laowai's share.
I'll pay up too."
Red girl said: "Why, boss!"
"This is..."
"This is why you can be the leader!" Miss Hong took the words angrily. She really didn't understand what this meant. Maybe, as Chen Yulou said, this was the reason why he could be the leader of the Green Forest.
When Chen Yulou heard this, he smiled and said: "It's good to know. Let's go see how the brothers are preparing. I guess the partridge whistle is coming soon."
