Chapter 217 Chen Mou aims to live forever
A broken lamp is like a bean.
Liao Chen slowly put away his ink pen and shook his sore wrist.
The pages spread out on the desk in front of me are densely written with words. You can faintly see the words 'Dragon and Snake's Sting'. You look across the white paper and look out through the window. .
It is dark between heaven and earth.
A silver moon hung in the sky, shrouded in faint light. Even in the middle of the night, it was still surprisingly bright outside.
It is definitely a rare good weather to enjoy the moon.
But at this moment, Liao Chen only glanced at it and then stopped his gaze.
Tiredness was written all over his face.
And...incredible.
"That boy actually guessed it."
"The sting of the dragon and snake is just a cover-up, but what is the truth?"
After the conversation in Zhuting that day.
He stayed up for two days and one night before finally deciphering all the cipher texts on the keel.
But now I look at the lines of text.
It is clearly an allusion to the two kings, civil and military, lying dormant and waiting for the right time.
It is exactly the same as Chen Yulou’s guess that day.
Picking up the page, I originally planned to throw it away, but when I looked at the white papers scattered on the ground beside me, they were all discarded items from the past two days.
After all, it took a lot of effort.
What's more, those guys haven't seen the first level of cipher text yet.
After thinking about it, Liao Chen just folded it in half, then took a stream stone paperweight and pressed it down.
He let out a long breath.
Stand up with both hands on the table.
Staying up for two consecutive days without sleeping was really unimaginable for an old man of his age. However, Liao Chen had no intention of taking a rest.
My mind is a mess.
Thoughts swirling.
He couldn't figure out what kind of secret it was that needed to be encrypted.
Thousands of years have passed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Countless years have passed, isn’t it enough to hide it?
Push open the door.
The moonlight in the backyard of Wuku Temple is like water.
There was silence all around, even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared, as if the whole world had fallen asleep.
"Senior..."
Just when he approached the ancient well, he wanted to pick up a bucket of cold water to wash his face and go to Shih.
A gentle voice suddenly came.
Liao Chen raised his eyebrows.
Looking at the courtyard gate in disbelief.
There was a figure in a green shirt, walking out of the night, shrouded in the faint moonlight, which highlighted his somewhat reclusive temperament.
Especially those night eyes.
Calm, indifferent, and transparent.
Chen Yulou walked out slowly, "Is it consistent with my guess?"
"Yes, the first layer of cipher text on the keel is indeed wrong. It should be to cover up more things."
No. Go ask him why he's up so late.
The two seemed to have made an agreement long ago.
An old man and a young man stood in the yard with their hands behind their hands, looking up at the bright moon on the dome and talking softly.
"What do you mean by senior?"
Although I am a time traveler.
But Chen Yulou’s knowledge of the Dragon Bone Book is extremely limited.
I only know that the dragon bone was left behind after King Wen of Zhou deduced the Muchen Pearl. Because the results of the divination were too shocking, he was deeply uneasy and worried that it would be lost, so he used this method to record it. .
He even did not hesitate to divide the book into three.
In the original work, the one that fell into the ancient Dian Kingdom was swallowed up by the corpse cave and disappeared without a trace.
So I know nothing about the content.
That is, the secret technique of yin and yang feng shui with sixteen words is really shocking. The only person in the world who understands it is Ling Chen, otherwise there would be no need to trouble him, an old man.
“I can only change my mind and continue the deduction.”
Lie Chen shook his head.
It was because he didn't have a good idea that he opened the door and came out to relax.
"Senior, have you ever thought about the possibility that the secret text of the Heavenly Book may not only have shapes but also sounds?"
"Sounds?"
Listen To this point.
Liao Chen was stunned for a moment.
This was a direction he had never considered.
But I have to say that this is not entirely impossible.
However, there is a theory of eight tones in ancient times, not to mention that the Shang and Zhou dynasties are too far away from now.
It’s like playing chess, one wrong step and one wrong step.
"I can only say that I will try my best."
After thinking about it again and again, Liao Chen finally decided to give it a try as he said.
“Okay.”
Hearing this, Chen Yulou couldn’t help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The suggestion he made is definitely not nonsense. If I remember correctly, when Professor Sun deciphered the Dragon Bone Book in Heishui City, he started from the sound shape and finally got the true meaning of Fengming Qishan Chapter. cipher text.
"Senior, this sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique is said to be one of the three most wonderful books in the world. I wonder...how can I learn it?"
The two chatted for a while.
Chen Yulou suddenly joked.
"Shopkeeper Chen is planning to leave Xiling and join me at the Golden Gate?"
I heard the deep meaning in his words.
Liao Chen also shook his head and smiled.
"It's not impossible if you can learn such Feng Shui magic skills."
"That's a big loss for shopkeeper Chen. I have escaped into Buddhism. Now the only golden captain in the world is my second junior brother. One person, on the other hand, the Xiling family has a great cause. Isn’t this a watermelon lost for sesame seeds?”
Although Liao Chen has been practicing in Wuku Temple for many years.
Especially in these years, there has been almost no communication with the outside world.
But before becoming a monk, he was also an old man.
"One person?"
"As far as I know, didn't Mr. Zhang accept four disciples back then?"
Chen Yulou asked casually.
“It is true that we have accepted four disciples, but the fourth junior brother of Lao Na has yin and yang eyes. He is only interested in the art of Feng Shui, never participates in reverse fighting, and has not learned the gold-touching skills of Mr. Zhang.”< br>
It seems true.
There are four people under Zhang San's chain door.
The flying Suan Ni, the golden abacus, the iron grinding head and the yin and yang eyes.
Sun Guofu is the most famous in the world.
If it hadn’t been for passing half a volume of sixteen words to Hu Guohua, almost no one would have known of his existence.
He nodded.
Chen Yulou secretly exhaled while looking up at the moon.
I will never leave the golden abacus.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the second junior brother had already followed his master.
There is indeed only one gold-touching captain in the world today.
That's himself.
As for Yang Fang, although he has the gold-touching inheritance, his master Jin Abacus did not give him the gold-touching talisman, so he is not actually a gold-touching captain.
Just like Mr. Zhang’s family.
Zhang Jiuyi, Zhang Yingchuan, Sima Hui.
Although he also has the inheritance and skills of Mojin, he cannot be classified as the captain of Mojin.
Among the four factions and eight gates.
The rules for touching gold are the most cumbersome.
Just a golden talisman is enough to cut off many thoughts.
Master Zhang only handed down three talismans in total.
Moreover, touching gold is not like unloading mountains and moving mountains. There is a rule not to be passed down to family members.
That’s why the golden talisman fell into the hands of Chen and his three brothers, instead of Zhang Jiuyi, the direct descendant of the Zhang family.
"But..."
Seeing that Chen Yulou was silent.
Liao Chen still thought he had been hit.
He hesitated, and then added, "If Shopkeeper Chen really wants to learn some gold-touching skills, I can make an exception."
He now has a total of two gold-touching talismans in his hand.
When Tie Mo Tou died, his coin was always carried with him by the dust.
Although it was an accident, he blamed himself very much for it and could never forgive himself, so much so that he took the step of cutting off his hair and becoming a monk, ordained as a monk.
He has given up the idea of having a disciple in this life.
But the iron grinding head is different.
But I can recruit disciples on his behalf.
He can also pass down his gold-touching talisman, so that the name Iron Grinding Tou will not be completely lost in the world for hundreds of years.
The most important thing is.
After this period of getting along.
Chen Yulou’s character was indeed deeply appreciated by him.
What about the Xiling warriors?
Before he was brought back to the family by Mr. Zhang, he was still a famous flying thief in the world. He worked as a gentleman in the Liang Dynasty, robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
“Is it just a touch of gold?”
See what he said seriously.
The casual touch on Chen Yulou's face also disappeared.
"Yes, I can teach you the inheritance of the Golden Colonel." I heard Chen's promise.
Chen Yulou hesitated, but finally shook his head and declined.
He is not very interested in the leader of Xiling.
Immerse yourself in practice.
I just want to become an immortal.
Who would be interested in some kind of gold-touching inheritance?
“Really don’t want to?”
Seeing this, Liao Chen couldn’t help but feel a hint of sadness in his old eyes.
But he was still unwilling.
He has not seen such an outstanding junior for a long time, and he is also convinced that there is a high probability that he will never see anyone else in his life.
He even didn't hesitate to disobey his teacher's orders.
Don’t get started.
The golden talisman was also taught to him.
Unfortunately, Chen Yulou still shook his head with an apology on his face, "Senior, to be honest, Chen Mouzhi is not here. A few days ago in Zhuhai, I said that I wanted to move here to live in seclusion. "
"You may think it is a joke."
"But I really thought so."
"Perhaps in a few years, the name Chen Yulou will disappear from the world."
Listen to his word for word, calmly speaking .
Liao Chen felt like there was thunder in his heart.
The Chen family in Xiling.
The third generation of thieves.
Sitting on Changsheng Mountain are tens of thousands of warriors who are capable of offloading the mountains.
Can you really just give up?
Escape from the world and practice cultivation is simple, but how many people can do it?
But then I thought about it, Chen Yulou is a very human being, and his ambitions are not high, which is reasonable.
"I am being reckless."
Liao Chen nodded and thought no more.
Everything in this world is predestined.
Since others don’t want it, he naturally won’t force anything.
……
The next few days.
Liao Chen is still concentrating on deciphering the heavenly book as before.
Chen Yulou and others also continued to stay.
There was no rush to return to Xiangyin.
It is most appropriate to take advantage of this period of time in Wuku Temple to practice retreat.
The three people from the Moving Mountain lineage obviously thought so too.
Especially the partridge whistle.
Not far from Wuku Temple, at the northern foot of Hubei Ridge, there is a secluded cave house left by predecessors, complete with stone tables and chairs.
In addition, the environment is quiet and no one will disturb you.
He spent almost most of his time practicing there.
The old foreigners carried dragons on their backs and shot bows, patrolling the mountains and practicing their archery skills with the wild animals in the mountains.
At this time, the flower spirit will carry a bamboo basket on its back, take a medicine hoe, and go to the cliff to collect medicine.
Although there are many medicinal farmers at the foot of the mountain, it is impossible to pick the centuries-old medicinal herbs that grow in dangerous places.
There were six people in the group, and only Yang Fang was free all day.
I can only practice boxing while standing still, venting my endless energy.
As for Chen Yulou, he would go to Bamboo Sea every morning.
Among the hundreds of acres of bamboo forest, the aura of the vegetation is extremely rich, making meditating and breathing get twice the result with half the effort.
But the most important thing is to raise the sword.
Lu Zu understood the sword intention contained in the sword stone. He thought that after thousands of years, it was gone, but he still underestimated the terrifying power of the land sword immortal.
It was just that Lu Zu used it to sharpen his sword.
An ordinary bluestone in the sword-washing pool was almost the same as a Taoist magic weapon.
I still remember.
The moment when I first tried to enter the Jiejian Stone with my spiritual consciousness.
Chen Yulou suddenly felt like he was rushing into the sea of energy.
However, although the Qi Hai Dantian is as deep and boundless as the vast night, it does not give people an incomparable sense of danger like the majestic and sharp sword intent in the Jiejian Stone.
good.
It is only inside the one-foot-long sword-solving stone.
The sword's will is like the tide of a river.
The turbulence is endless.
Even a sword wielder like him was shocked beyond belief.
It was hard to break free from it.
What came next was an incomparable surprise.
The artistic conception of flying sword is definitely the most elusive and unattainable existence for swordsmen.
After all, until today, Chen Yulou has never achieved the state of beheading a person with a flying sword.
Qi and momentum can be condensed.
But Sword Intent can't even touch the threshold.
Now that a sword-solving stone containing Lu Zu’s sword intention was close at hand, how could he not regard it as a treasure?
That is to say, those bandits who occupied the mountain as kings, who had no eyes for gold and jade, swept away the fairy cave, and even the incense stove was taken away to exchange for money.
But he turned his nose up at the priceless sword-solving stone.
So much so, when I saw it in the Immortal Cave that day.
It was like a piece of waste bricks, thrown into the corner behind the shrine, covered in dust and ignored.
But.
There needs to be someone who really knows the goods.
It’s not his turn to pick up the slack.
In just a few days, the dragon scale sword contained in the Jie Sword Stone became visibly sharper to the naked eye.
Because of the six-winged centipede demon tendons and blood essence integrated into the sword body.
Since the Dragon Scale Sword came out, it has been known for its ferocity.
But now that the sword is being eaten away, even if it is sealed in the scabbard, the earth-shattering edge cannot be concealed at all.
Even if you just hold it in your hand.
It all gave Chen Yulou a faint feeling of palpitations.
It was as if the sword would unsheath itself at any time and kill people thousands of miles away.
Buzz——
At this moment.
Beside the ancient pavilion in the Bamboo Sea.
Chen Yulou stood up slowly and exhaled, ending his weekly breathing session.
His eyes fell on the stone table beside him.
The dragon scale sword is placed in the indentation in the sword-solving stone, as if it was tailor-made and fits perfectly.
It’s just...
Being impacted by the majestic sword intent.
The blade of the sword seemed to have a spirit, and the buzzing sound of Qingyue continued, causing dust and mist to billow on the stone table beneath him, and the atmosphere was suddenly astonishing.
"It's from the shopkeeper."
Just when he was calculating how long it would take to raise the dragon scale sword to the point where it could be unsheathed and kill the big monster.
Outside the bamboo sea, a figure in a red dress arrived.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the red girl's eyes looking anxious, it seemed that something had happened.
Chen Yulou's heart couldn't help but move.
"Elder Liaochen has left seclusion. Let me invite you back, saying that we have important matters to discuss."
As expected!
Hearing what Miss Hong said.
Chen Yulou's heart suddenly became excited.
Unconsciously, more than ten days have passed since the last moonlit night chat.
At this time, Liao Chen came out of seclusion and asked them to return to the temple.
The meaning is self-evident.
"Okay, Hong Gu, I'll be right away."
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions, Chen Yulou lifted the dragon scale sword up, without having time to feel the subtleties on it Change, he put his hand behind his back and grabbed the sword-breaking stone.
He jumped out of the bamboo pavilion.
He quickly rushed towards Wuku Temple with Miss Hong.
A moment later.
When he arrived outside the temple gate, he saw Partridge Whistle and Yang Fang appearing one after another from a distance.
Looking at each other.
Both of them had expectations in their eyes.
But I dare not waste my time by talking too much.
Push the door and enter.
At a glance, he saw Elder Liao Chen standing outside the hall holding a roll of paper.
His face was always calm.
At this moment, there was actually a faint feeling of high spirits.
In addition, there is an indescribable complexity.
"Senior..."
"You two are here just in time, the cipher text has been deciphered, come and take a look."
