I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

The next morning.

Chen Luo handed the refined Foundation Establishment Pill to Zhu Jie, and then left Shanyin Pass alone. This is just a short transition point. Once the information you want has been collected, you won't waste time here.

"Walking along the Black Rock Mountain Road for a while, you will encounter the Yinsha Forest. After walking through it, you will arrive at the Corpse Raising Area."

Chen Luo rode the donkey that the knife blacksmith shop had given him in exchange for it, recalling the purchased news in his mind, which was sold to him by the master of Batu Cave and Madam Bloodbone. In addition to the information sold by the two of them, Chen Luo also read some fragments of obsessions from the picked brains. The brothers of the Batu Cave Master are about the same strength as him, and they are all in the late stage of Qi refining. The brain was well preserved, and Chen Luo released it after reading it.

The brain of a low-level Qi Refining Realm is of no use to him anymore. Whether it is Madam Bloodbone or the Master of Batu Cave, their essence is no different from the late-stage Qi Refining monks who died in the cave. There are more than a hundred Qi Refining Realm brains stored in the external brain. Except for those with special abilities, the rest are in a state of elimination.

The Batu Cave Master and others were not clear about the fourth-level material information given by Ning Ling. Chen Luo read part of the content from his brother's 'obsession'. They killed Ning Ling's family just because they accepted a mission, and they were targeting a faceless evil cultivator behind their back. They just used spiritual stones to do things.

The clue ends here.

This kind of result is normal when it comes to the secrets of fourth-level spiritual materials. The information that the Ning Ling family had was only superficial. The other party simply exterminated them out of caution, just like trampling an ant to death in passing.

The donkey didn't walk very fast, and the rugged path was full of sand. It makes a rustling sound when you step on it. The donkey would stop to eat some black plants every time he walked.

This plant is very short, like a weed, with dark green rhizomes with triangular leaves growing on them, and the leaves are dark. After chewing, milky white juice will flow out of the donkey's mouth.

Chen Luo paid attention and found that these black plants contained a small amount of cold-repelling ingredients. The donkey ate this to resist the increasingly lower temperature outside.

Another walk.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, and the rocky paths have become rugged. The sand particles on the ground have begun to become larger, and fist-sized stones have begun to appear. The terrain on both sides has also become steeper, with hillsides and old woods beginning to appear.

quack

From deep in the dark forest, strange bird calls can be heard from time to time.

"There seems to be something over there?"

Chen Luo sat on the back of the donkey, and when he glanced over with his consciousness, he vaguely seemed to see a black shadow, but when he looked again, there was nothing there. The donkey ate the black leaves and moved on.

"Ignorance in the world means little livelihood, and only the knowledge left in my belly is so sad."

As we were walking forward, a burst of singing suddenly came from the forest in front of us.

It was the voice of a young man. Chen Luo looked over and happened to see a young man wearing a long gown and carrying a bookcase on his back. It was he who sang.

Chen Luo glanced with his spiritual consciousness and found that this person had no spiritual energy fluctuations and was just an ordinary person.

Why are there ordinary people in this place?

Chen Luo was a little strange, so he drove the donkey and chased him. The scholar in front seemed to have heard the noise, and was startled at first. After turning around and seeing Chen Luo's face clearly, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The man straightened his clothes first, then stood on the roadside and bowed to Chen Luo, who was riding a donkey.

"I've seen immortals."

Judging from his appearance, he must have seen an immortal cultivator like Chen Luo.

"Who are you? Why are you here alone?"

Chen Luo stopped the donkey, and at such a close distance, he sensed it again with his spiritual consciousness, confirming that the scholar was really just an ordinary person.

"Student Ning Chenye, my uncle is the owner of Yejia Rice Shop in Black Wolf City. The student is going to seek refuge with his uncle and ask him to collect the money he borrowed from our family in the past years."

The scholar speaks very politely and his tone is refined, especially some pronunciation, which is very different from ordinary people.

"What did you sing before?"

Chen Luo couldn't see the problem for a while, so he changed the topic. After coming out of seclusion, no ordinary person can be underestimated. Moreover, this evil cultivation place is different from what he imagined. There are also ordinary people from the country here, and they also have their own special order. It is not all chaos.

"The lyrics were written by Mr. Bai and the students sang them randomly."

Hearing Chen Luo ask you, the scholar's face turned red. He didn't expect that his random shouts were heard by others.

"Walking here alone, aren't you afraid of encountering danger?"

As Chen Luozheng was speaking, his consciousness sensed something was wrong and he looked back again.

The strange black figure in the forest appeared again, this time significantly closer. When his consciousness swept over, the black shadow disappeared again.

The mountains and forests are quiet, and this environment is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

"Don't be afraid, the student has the amulet given by Mr. Bai."

The scholar confidently took out a sachet, which contained a triangular amulet with a touch of spiritual power. It must have been painted by Mr. Bai, whom the scholar said.

"How far is Black Wolf City from here?" Chen Luo asked.

The news about his purchase also included a city and a gathering place for immortal cultivators, but no one had heard of Black Wolf City. It was not known whether the scholar made it up, or whether Black Wolf City was too weak and no immortal cultivators could go there.

"After passing the hillside in front and passing through an old forest, we'll be there. It's about half a day's walk."

Scholar Ning Chenye responded quickly. In his understanding, immortals are very powerful beings and must be respected, otherwise they will be cursed by the immortals and sent to the eighteenth level of hell.

Old woods on the hillside?

Chen Luo thought of the 'corpse raising ground' in the memories of the Batu Cave master brothers. On the way to the place where corpses are kept, one has to pass by an 'Yin Sha Forest', but I don't know if this Yin Sha Forest is the same place as the 'Old Forest' mentioned by the Book Sage.

"It happens to be on our way, so let's go together."

Chen Luo thought for a while and decided to take a closer look at the scholar named Ning Chenye. His appearance was so strange.

"Then I'll trouble you, the Immortal."

Although he didn't know what Chen Luo's purpose was, after hearing that he could communicate with the Immortal, scholar Ning Chenye still showed an expression of surprise on his face.

The two walked in tandem, with Chen Luo riding a donkey in front and Ning Chenye following behind carrying a book box. In order to take care of him, Chen Luo deliberately slowed down.

Not long after, the two reached the end of the path, and there was a fork in front of them. On the left is a dead end road leading to the cliff, which can only be accessed on the right.

After the donkey reached the intersection, it suddenly stopped and started braying loudly. Its four legs kept pacing back and forth on the ground, but it just refused to move forward. Chen Luo looked around and found a woman wearing a white gauze skirt standing at the intersection on the right.

The woman stood quietly in the woods, looking straight at them.

woman?

Chen Luo frowned.

First I met a scholar, and now I met a woman. Will I meet a bearded man next?

A familiar scene flashed through his mind.

"Do you know that woman?"

Chen Luo asked the scholar Ning Chenye who was following him.

"woman?"

Ning Chenye was walking with difficulty while carrying a bookcase on his back. When he heard Chen Luo's question, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the old woods in front of him.

"What woman"

Ning Chenye looked around, and then looked at Chen Luo with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

"You can't see her?"

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. Just when he was about to test, a gust of wind blew by and the leaves on the ground rustled, blurring his vision. When everything returned to normal, the woman in the white dress standing in the middle of the road suddenly disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

This scene made Chen Luo frown.

His consciousness was staring at the other person the whole time. Such a big living person actually disappeared inexplicably under his nose. Being able to affect spiritual consciousness means that the other person is at least at the same level as him. Unexpectedly, he was targeted as soon as he arrived at the evil cultivation place.

No wonder Master Wuwei didn't resist and was expelled by the evil cultivators here.

"Chief Immortal, are you sure there was someone over there just now?" Scholar Ning Chenye also became nervous. He was a little frightened by Chen Luo's question, and subconsciously tightened the talisman given to him by 'Mr. Bai' with his palms.

There are some legends about this old forest, and usually no one from the city would come here. If his family hadn't been too poor to uncover the truth this time, Ning Chenye wouldn't have risked taking this path.

"Nothing, I saw it wrong."

After the woman disappeared, the donkey returned to normal, carrying Chen Luo down the mountain road. Upon seeing this, scholar Ning Chenye tightened his bookcase and quickened his pace to follow.

The sky didn't know when it became overcast.

The clouds were dense, and there was faint thunder rolling in the clouds, and the muffled thunder could not be heard.

Three miles of land, different sky.

After the two of them went down the mountain along the road on the right, the sky was completely covered by dark clouds. The day was as dark as the evening, and the thunder became more intense. The wind also started to rise in the woods, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees. Ning Chenye, who was wearing single clothes, tightened his clothes, held a charm in his hand, and kept muttering words like "bless". Know who you are praying to.

"This is the old woods."

The two walked for a while, and after passing by a dead stone, Chen Luo saw an old forest that blocked the sky and the sun. The forest was filled with all kinds of Yinsha trees, each of which had grown to a height of nearly thirty meters. The huge tree crown covered the sky, and the dense leaves blocked all light, making the forest pitch black.

The ground was all covered with fallen leaves, covering the original path.

Scholar Ning Chenye took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp, holding it in one hand to illuminate the path around him.

He was going to Black Wolf City, so naturally he had already inquired about the situation on the road.

It's just that after the donkey arrived at this place, he refused to go in again, life or death. Chen Luo had no choice but to release him. The donkey was very sensitive to danger and might survive after being released.

"Chief Immortal, I still have an oil lamp here."

"No."

Chen Luo walked in front. Under his consciousness, the darkness had little impact on him.

The two of them entered the old forest one after the other.

Chen Luo was looking for a place to raise the corpse, so naturally he couldn't be scared by a forest. Ning Chenye in the back was simply because he was poor. If he had not made this trip, his old mother would not have been able to survive the winter.

After entering the woods, the light completely disappeared.

Only the three-meter area illuminated by the oil lamp in Ning Chen's hand was left, and everything further away was dark. The sky above the woods became darker. Thunderclouds kept rolling, and lightning pierced the dark clouds, illuminating two bright lights from time to time.

But these bright lights were blocked by the leaves, and the inside and outside of the woods seemed like two different worlds.

Stepping on the soft rotten leaves, the smell of rotting plants echoed in the woods.

"I made a promise in front of the Empress's temple that my infatuated dead daughter treated my husband, and I will never forget it for three lifetimes. I only hate my husband for having no lover." The two of them walked for a while, and suddenly there was a burst of resentful singing in front of them.

The voice was sung by a woman, and her voice was sad and sad, as if she was telling a story about a man who was obsessed with a man and a woman who resented a woman.

Chen Luo dispersed his consciousness and saw a wooden building not far ahead.

"Chang Immortal, there is light over there. It seems to be an inn!"

Ning Chenye held a lantern and pointed forward with excitement.
