When Chen Yulou saw Zhang Lin falling behind him, he was filled with emotion. Then he thought of the talismans used by Zhang Lin, and made up his mind to buy some after this trip to Pingshan Mountain no matter what.
The three climbed to the top of the cliff and saw a group of thieves under the command of Miss Hong and Huamaguai, preparing to send people down to look for Chen Yulou and the others. At this time, they saw the three people coming up, and they all came around to check if Chen Yulou was injured.
Na Luo Lao Wai's plan to make a fortune by robbing tombs to expand the armament was all based on Chen Xiazi. Fang Wenhong said that Chen Yulou had fallen into a deep gorge, and he was already worried. He was afraid that something might happen to Chen Yulou, and his plan would inevitably be aborted.
I was overjoyed to see that he was fine now.
Everyone heard that Miss Hong said that she fell into the deep gorge of unknown depth, and now she climbed up unscathed. Isn't that something ordinary people can do? They all praised: "Mr. Chen's head is worthy of being green."
The boss on the forest road really has extraordinary skills. I saw it with my own eyes today, and we are convinced that we are willing to follow him to the death..."
When Chen Yulou heard this, he looked at the shirtless Zhang Lin with some embarrassment. He was holding an iron sword in front of him and sitting expressionlessly, looking into the deep stream without knowing what to think.
Chen Yulou knew in his heart that he and the mute Kunlun Molle could not escape Zhang Lin's strength this time.
But the demeanor of the leader of Xieling could not be lost. He clasped his fists proudly and said: "Concession, succession, behind the heroes are heroes, and there are heroes beside the heroes. If it weren't for the deep sense of loyalty of all the brothers, who are willing to sacrifice their lives to help,
Even if Mr. Chen had three heads and six arms, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now."
After Chen Yulou finished speaking, he separated from everyone and walked up to Zhang Lin. The thieves and Zhang Lin were still wondering what Chen Yulou wanted to do, so Chen Yulou pulled Zhang Lin up, raised his left hand, and said very seriously and solemnly: "Everyone Xie Ling
Brothers, this trip to the Underground Palace requires the guidance of Taoist Quan Nai, otherwise we might all end up in the centipede's lair.
And I accidentally fell into a deep stream, and it was the Taoist priest who saved me from danger. The Taoist priest came here under the orders of the old man, and his actions can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous.
I think among all the people in Xiling, there is no one who is not a hero. Today's Taoist priest is so righteous, but it can't be compared with the righteousness of Guan Yunchang.
Therefore, I declare that from now on, the Taoist Priest will be the second most powerful person in Xiling, and what he said is what I, Chen Yulou, said. Do you have any objections?"
When Miss Hong and others heard this, they were all shocked and said: "The boss is in charge, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."
The Xiling faction has a large number of people, and there are tens of thousands of thieves and thieves.
Three generations of the Chen family in Xiangyin have successively held the position of leader, but this does not mean that the Chen family can appoint and relinquish positions in Lingli at will.
After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The arena is not about fighting and killing, but about worldly relationships and exchanges of interests.
The large number of people in Xiling means that there are many factions and entangled interests in it.
No matter how extraordinary Zhang Lin's skills were, no matter how he saved Chen Yulou, after all, he just saved Chen Yulou, not the Xieling faction.
Moreover, he was invited by Mr. Chen, and what he did was considered normal by others.
Moreover, I don't know how many people in the faction are waiting for Chen Yulou to surrender in Pingshan. If there is no one in the Chen family, I'm afraid they will have to give up their position as the leader of Xiiling.
Therefore, although their brothers here have no objection to what Chen Yulou did, because those who can follow Chen Yulou are all direct descendants of the Chen family, but they left Pingshan and spread to the Tao.
I'm afraid the other factions in Xieling will not give up.
They were unable to deal with the famous and powerful Chen family of Xiangyin, who had served as leader for three generations. How could they not deal with a Taoist priest who appeared out of nowhere?
But Chen Yulou fell into a deep stream and saw that Zhang Lin was desperate to save himself when he was in danger. He was actually able to defeat the six-winged centipede, and his skills were incredible, as well as those magical seals and strange tattoos.
, has already decided to do this.
Seeing that everyone was about to speak, he stopped them without waiting for them to say anything. He was full of confidence and could not deny it: "I have already made up my mind about this matter. You don't need to say more. You have all come to see the second master."
The bandits from Xieling around were all Chen Yulou's direct relatives and confidants. When they saw that Chen Yulou had made up his mind, they knew they could not dissuade them. They all stepped forward, bowed their hands to Zhang Lin and said in salute: "I have seen you two before."
Take charge!”
Seeing this, Zhang Lin frowned slightly. He didn't want to get too involved with these people, so he said: "I am not the second in charge."
As he spoke, he said to Chen Yulou: "Mr. Chen has taken the initiative to accept his good intentions. Not to mention that I am the same generation as your father, so it is not appropriate to be the second in command of the family. Not to mention that I have no intention of being your second in command.
Even if I do, do you think I will be the second in command?"
Zhang Lin didn't care about the angry glares of the thieves. Chen Yulou was embarrassed and said to himself: "I saved you because your father asked me to save you, and because there is a fee to save you.
The fee this time is five hundred silver dollars. Now you owe me a total of one thousand silver dollars. If you pay it off in due time, you and I will owe nothing."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, ignoring everyone.
When Chen Yulou heard this, he couldn't help but react at first.
I admire Zhang Lin's skills and am amazed by Zhang Lin's magical seal script.
I just wanted to recruit him into the Xiling faction, firstly to repay his kindness, and secondly because there is a strange person like Zhang Lin. He has great potential in leading Xiling, and maybe he can repeat the feat of red eyebrows in the past.
But it is true that as Zhang Lin said, with his skill and magical talisman and seal skills, if he really enters Xiling, I am afraid that within three years, the leader will be named Zhang.
There are many ways to repay a favor, and it is not necessary to interfere with the Chen family's three-generation legacy. It is actually a good thing for him not to be the second-in-command. So he stopped Miss Hong and said somewhat uncomfortably: "It's Chen who has reached a higher level. The Taoist priest is the Nine Heavenly Dragon."
, the pond in my Xiling is too small to accommodate the Taoist priest.
As for the reward, it will be settled together when Chen returns to Xiangyin, Taoist Priest, please rest assured."
With that said, he motioned for everyone to disperse.
Luo Laowai saw that everyone was busy, so he stepped forward and asked Chen Yulou: "Brother Chen, who is that Taoist? Is it worth inviting you to be the second-in-command of Xiling?"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he sighed deeply and said: "Shuai Luo, I can only say that the Taoist Master is in heaven, and you and I...are both on earth. It's Chen who overestimates his own capabilities!
You don’t know that when I fell into the deep stream, there was a six-winged centipede that was more than ten feet long and looked extremely menacing. Guess what?"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
Chen Yulou stretched out three fingers and said: "The Taoist priest only needed three breaths to fight off the six-winged centipede. If it hadn't been for the unfavorable opportunity, it would have run very fast.
The mountain stream is narrow and difficult for the Taoist leader to chase. At this time, everyone may have to carry the six-winged centipede down the mountain."
Luo Laowai touched his hand and thought, "Is his grandma's really so evil?"
Chen Yulou shook his head and said nothing. Luo Laowai thought for a while to no avail, and then said: "Boss boss, Brother Gang is only worried about you and has not asked about you. Tell me, are there any good treasures in the underground palace?"
Chen Yulou heard the words and said: "The good teacher Luo Shuai knows that the caves behind the palace there are covered with stone bars, surrounded by well railings, corridors, and rockeries made of lake rocks.
It looks like a garden, but there is a lot of foul-smelling sewage in the recesses and a lot of rotten wood. There are many stone troughs built on the top of the cave, but I don't know what they are used for.
The entrance to the side hall was blocked. It was previously occupied by this bottle of poison from the mountain and used as a nest, but now it was reduced to ashes by the Taoist priest.
The rather precious items among them have long since disappeared. There may still be a few bronze items, but they are no longer valuable after being burned by the Taoist Master's fire. This place has no value. You and I should find another place.
The current plan is to go back to Zangguan, take a short rest, and discuss it again."
When Luo Laowai heard this, he cursed his grandma again.
Then he called the adjutant and asked him to assemble the team. The group headed back home and retreated to the foot of Pingshan Mountain.
It was not until dusk that the group returned to Yizhuang.
Chen Yulou sat in the room, thinking that this time the tomb robbery was not going to be successful. If it were not for Zhang Lin, a master, he might not be able to come back.
This time we encountered unprecedented setbacks, wasted manpower and material resources, and came back empty-handed.
The more Chen Yulou thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he regretted not listening to Partridge Whistle, the Taoist Taoist who moved the mountain.
But as the leader of Xieling, he led the crowd to rob the tomb without finding anything. How can he have the face to gossip with others in the future? Life is not worth anything on the green forest road, but face is the most important. But even if he leads people into the underground palace, he will just make the same mistake again. That ancient tomb It is simply a nest of poisonous mirages, which cannot be dealt with by the power of Xiling alone.
Although the Taoist is a master, he can deal with those poisonous insects, but he is a layman when it comes to tomb robbing.
While Chen Xiazi was hesitating, Miss Hong was advising: "Boss, we have gone far into the land of Dongyi. We have lost the right time and place. Now people are panicked and fear that we will lose people again. Why not return to Xiangyin for the time being? Xu Tu Good strategy..."
When Luo Laowai heard that the red girl persuaded Blind Chen to retreat, how should he do it?
Before she could finish her words, she interrupted: "Hold on, Mr. Chen, I, Luo Laowai, am a member of the army. I only want to win a victory, and the worst thing is to return without success.
Now that we have brought these brothers here, what are we going to do when we go back empty-handed? Why don't we just do it without stopping? Since we can't get in from above, we dig out the tomb door from the bottom of the mountain and spread it with lime step by step. This is called step by step in the art of war. , although it took some effort, there is no flaw at all. Even if there is a six-winged centipede in the tomb, I will ask my men to hit it with a few volleys of guns, but it will still make hundreds of transparent holes.
If it doesn't work, didn't you say that the Taoist injured the six-winged centipede? Let's ask the Taoist to take action. I, Lao Luo, will have a share of the money."
After Luo Laowai finished speaking, he happened to see the beauty of Miss Hong's face in the sunset, and the heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
He knew that Miss Hong's biggest wish was to revive the ancient color trick of the Moon Gate in Shanghai, so he advised her: "Miss Hong, the reason why we are robbing the tomb and making money this time is to achieve a great cause in these troubled times.
