Chapter 156 Return

“It’s right here.”

Chen Luo searched at the edge for a long time, borrowed the induction of the foundation-building formation master's brain, and added the guidance of the mummy's brain, and successfully found a weak point.

The gap in the tomb was caused by an abnormal change in heaven and earth.

It was as if the heaven and earth would not allow a gap to be opened on this perfect tomb. The entry point that Chen Luo found now was the area where the gap spread. It was from this gap that Chang Qing Zhenren and his three companions fell.

Out of caution, Chen Luo took out a talisman from his storage bag.

After the spiritual power was poured into it, the talisman immediately began to burn. A moment later, a small paper man the size of a palm appeared in the ashes.

Taoist soldiers.

This is a magical power that Chen Luo saw in the library at Shenhu Peak. It is not very powerful and is just right for exploring the way.

Using magic power, he controlled the little paper man and walked slowly along the edge until he reached the gap. The little paper man jumped lightly and crossed from the platform on this side to the platform on the opposite side.

bass!!

When it flew into the air, the paper man suddenly caught fire, and in the blink of an eye, it was burned to black ashes, and even the residue was swallowed up by the formation.

"hiss"

Although he had known for a long time that the formation was dangerous, Chen Luo had not expected it to be this dangerous.

He was burned to ashes just by taking a wrong step. The spiritual power attached to it was as if it did not exist and was directly ignored by the power of the formation.

"Come again."

Chen Luo took out another talisman and summoned the Taoist soldiers in the same way. Another new little man stood up from the black ash. This time Chen Luo controlled it very carefully. After going through several dangerous nodes, he finally landed on the opposite platform successfully. But as soon as he landed, the familiar black flame appeared again.

"The formation over there is located in a different point, and the location of the passage will change over time." Chen Luo stared at the paper man that was burned to ashes, and Chen Luo took out another talisman.

The third and fourth paper figures

It was not until the ninth paper man that his spiritual power was almost exhausted that Chen Luo finally found a safe path. After testing two paper men in succession, he finally felt relieved.

Walking to the edge of the platform, he gathered his spiritual energy and counted the time silently in his heart.

At the moment when the time reached the node, his figure flashed and the whole person flew into the air. It took only a few breaths of time for him to reach the other side. It looked extremely simple and light, but each landing point was found after he tried many times.

Only after landing on the opposite platform did Chen Luo finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After avoiding the damaged nodes, it was safe to reach the platform area. He glanced at the platform here, and it looked no different from the opposite side. At first glance, it looked like a copy, even the stone patterns on the ground were exactly the same.

Chen Luo didn't waste any time. He walked to the tomb next to him and pushed it gently with his hand.

Click, click, click.

The tomb door opened.

"Um?!"

Chen Luo stood at the door of the tomb and stopped for a moment. The tomb was still the same tomb, the structure and layout were exactly the same as the one opposite, even the oil lamps on the wall and the cushions for sitting were exactly the same.

What really shocked Chen Luo was the corpse in the tomb. This corpse was almost identical to the mummy he had touched before, as if he had returned to the opposite side of the platform and entered the original tomb.

Out of caution, Chen Luo stepped forward and took a careful look, even using his spiritual sense.

It turned out that this mummy was exactly the same as the one opposite.

"Exactly the same? How is that possible?!"

Chen Luo was a little confused for a moment. With his current level of strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to remember it wrong.

Touch it first!

Although he didn't understand the reason, Chen Luo decided to give it a try. Putting on deerskin gloves, he walked over and placed his hand on the mummy's head.

'Exposure to the brain waves of the dead.'

The familiar energy feedback emerged in his mind, but the next second, the familiar freeze appeared. Before Chen Luo could react, a wisp of gray energy flowed along his arm and merged into his body. The next second, the half-dead mummy brain in his mind suddenly emerged and actively absorbed the energy.

"No more?"

Chen Luo waited for a long time, but did not receive any information. Chen Luo withdrew his hand and sensed the state of the mummy's brain. He did not know whether it was a psychological effect or other reasons, but he felt that the "activity" of the mummy's brain had increased a little.

"Were they originally one?"

A guess emerged in Chen Luo's mind.

In order to make sure there was no mistake, he spent another two days traveling back and forth between the two platforms several times before finally coming to a conclusion.

The mummies on both sides are really the same person!

This guess was terrifying. He subconsciously looked up at the sky. The vast and endless tombs were still floating there, like stars, and there was a tomb on each star. If all the tombs were the same person,

So what was the state of mind of this person when he was alive?

"I'll come back to check after I've formed the elixir. It seems that I haven't built the foundation yet."

After gathering his thoughts, Chen Luo walked back to the damaged part of the formation and observed the formation in the tomb. As a result, whether it was himself or the foundation-building formation master, the feedback they got from looking at the formation in this tomb group was the same.

I totally don't understand.

"It's at least a fifth-level formation."

Chen Luo had no idea either, he just made a random guess based on his foundation building level. It was a pity that the mummy's brain had no feedback, otherwise he would have planned to live here.

After thinking about it for a few days and burning more than a hundred paper figures, Chen Luo completely gave up the idea of ​​going to the third platform after he was sure that he had no way to start. Standing under the tomb, he looked back at the tombs behind him.

The vast starry sky, endless stars.

Who could have imagined that such a scene would actually be a tomb?

Climbing up along the robber's hole, he soon arrived at the fake tomb above. The sarcophagus that Chen Luo had seen before was still there, and the bones beside it were gone. When Chen Luo came up, he also found two spiritual tablets next to it, which had the aura of Xie Shuang and Du Jian.

Probably because they saw that he hadn't come up for a long time, the two of them couldn't wait and left first.

"Brother, I'm going back to Cuizhu Valley first. If you have any questions, you can contact me through text."

"Brother Chen, I'm back in the capital to see my master. If you have time, please come to the capital to have a gathering."

Chen Luo read the two spiritual tablets, and just as he thought, they contained information left by the two people. Putting the spiritual tablets into his sleeves, Chen Luo jumped up and flew away from the fake tomb.

Back on the ground, the long-lost sunshine shone down from above.

Chen Luo stood at the entrance of the tomb and took a deep breath. The fragrance of the plants and trees flowed into his body, and a long-lost sense of familiarity surged into his heart.

He is back again.

After leaving the tomb, Chen Luo could clearly feel the loss of his spiritual power. The sky where Yue State was located was like a funnel, absorbing the spiritual power of all cultivators. No wonder Changqing Zhenren called this place the Land of Absolute Spirits.

The existence of the tomb was a sign of despair for all immortal cultivators. Fortunately, Chen Luo's cultivation was not weak, and his foundation-building strength could still hold up, and he could also use his magical powers, but he had to take into account the consumption of spiritual energy to avoid damaging his foundation.

"Let's go back to Qingya County first."

Chen Luo thought of his uncle, his father, his master Ma Quezi, his uncle Ruan Jianglong, etc. He didn't know how these old friends were doing.

With a wave of his hand, the magic sword flew out from his sleeve and turned into a stream of light surrounding him. Chen Luo jumped lightly, and the flying sword rang softly, carrying him and turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.

Flying with a sword, this is what a true immortal cultivator does.

The beautiful mountains and rivers beneath his feet were rapidly receding, and Chen Luo was flying freely on his flying sword.

After a moment.

Chen Luo arrived above Qingya County, looking at the familiar scenery below, he controlled the flying sword to fly downwards. It took only half a day to reach the distant Qingya County.

"Dig well, you still have a lot to learn from Master San's craft."

The barren mountains outside the county government office.

Chen Dahe leaned against a big tree, and three young men were digging a hole. It had been more than five years since Chen Luo left, and in the past five years, Chen Dahe had obviously aged a lot.

The Chen family today is no longer what it was before. Ever since the emergence of the "immortal" Chen Luo, they have been protected by the upper class of Yue State, and the head of the family, Chen Dachuan, has even been made a marquis, which can be said to be a sudden rise to fame.

Originally, Chen Laosan went to the capital with the Chen family. But he couldn't adapt to the life there, so he returned to Qingya County and continued to be a corpse burial man.

After being busy all his life, he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly had some free time.

"I don't know how that brat is doing now."

Looking at the three very obedient and studious apprentices beside him, Chen Luosan couldn't help but think of his eldest nephew.

He naturally knew why these three people came to learn from him the menial job of burying corpses. They simply wanted to use his connections to expand their family's network.

"Maybe the world outside is also beautiful, this kid is busy going through the alleys."

Thinking of the experience of taking his nephew to visit the hutongs, Chen Laosan showed a smile on his face.

"Which mistress is Uncle San thinking about now?"

A voice suddenly sounded.

"Bullshit, I, your third uncle, am an upright person," Chen Laosan replied subconsciously, but halfway through his words he suddenly reacted.

"Xiao Luo?"

"Uncle San, long time no see." Looking at his uncle who obviously had more white hair, a smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.

Only his family can give him this feeling.

Unlike his father, my third uncle has been a bachelor all his life and raised him almost as his own son. The affection they have cultivated over the years has not been in vain.

"Why did you come back? Did you lose your place in the world of immortal cultivation and get chased back?"

Chen Laosan was surprised at first, then asked with a look of doubt.

Chen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm doing well out there, and I came back mainly to see my family."

While Chen Luo and Chen Lao San were talking, the three disciples who were burying the bodies also stopped. They looked at Chen Luo who suddenly appeared, their faces full of surprise.

The Chen family immortal!

They had heard so many rumors about Chen Luo that their ears were almost callused. Normally, they had only heard of his name but never seen him in person. They didn't expect to see him in person this time.

"I remember asking someone to take care of you when I left."

Chen Luo looked at the clothes on Chen Laosan, feeling a little puzzled.

If he hadn't used his spiritual sense to scan the area just now, he would have really missed his uncle.

"Life in the capital is too luxurious and not suitable for your uncle. I am used to working hard and I don't feel comfortable when I am idle."

Chen Laosan patted Chen Luo on the shoulder. How could he not know what his nephew was thinking? He pulled him up and said.

"Let's go back and see the old man first. If he knew that your precious grandson was back, I wonder how happy he would be."
