I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Barren mountains, old graves.

The setting sun, slanting shadows.

Twenty years is enough time for the old grave to be covered with weeds. Chen Luo didn't expect that his third uncle would be buried in such a place. He had the same temperament as when he was alive and liked to go out alone. Chen Luo had visited this location of the old tomb once. When there was civil strife in the Yue Kingdom, an old eunuch captured Chen Dahe and several other corpse buryers and asked them to bury the corpses here.

For Chen Dahe at that time, this was a life and death crisis and an important turning point in his life.

After this crisis, his nephew soared into the sky and became a "immortal" respected by everyone. Although when Chen Luo came back, Chen Dahe always hit him and warned him to learn to save his life and not to keep a high profile. But when Chen Luo was away, he was often the one who boasted about Chen Luo the most.

"There's no good wine, Third Uncle, just drink as you go."

Chen Luo took out a jug of wine from his storage bag. He didn't know whose relic it was, so he just took it out to honor his third uncle.

The wine flowed down the mouth of the jar and circled in front of the tombstone.

Chen Luo picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.

It's a bit astringent but sweet in the throat. It should be a good drink. It's a pity that Chen Luo doesn't understand wine, so no matter how good the wine is, it's just a waste here.

After taking a few sips, Chen Luo placed the jar next to the grave.

"Third uncle, I'm leaving. You can keep this wine and drink it. I'll come back to see you when I'm free next time."

Chen Luo stood up, turned around and walked out of Lao Lin.

The low trees behind him swayed in the wind, as if someone was waving to him.

After leaving the old grave of his third uncle, Chen Luo went to the capital again. Both parents are gone, the younger sister has become a grandma, and the house is full of children and grandchildren. Her father married her to a royal noble. With Chen Luo's background, no one in the capital dared to bully her. She lived a peaceful and smooth life.

The younger brother whom he had never met has become an important minister of the country. He stands in the court with a gray beard and discusses national affairs with the emperor.

Chen Luo stood in the air and watched them quietly.

This tribe of people in the capital also spread out and became a wealthy family. The Chen family has a background as immortal cultivators, and their power in the court is so strong that the royal family will even take the initiative to give up power to them. The rights of the Yue Kingdom are not easy to obtain. The more they have, the greater their responsibilities.

night.

After a day of court meetings, Chen Lin returned home and sat exhausted on the Taishi chair.

The servant behind him quickly stepped forward to help him untie his court uniform and put away his official hat. A woman with gray hair stepped forward and pressed Chen Lin's shoulders with skillful techniques.

This woman is his wife, the biological sister of the current emperor. When the two got married, the two great immortal masters came to the scene in person and gave the Chen family plenty of cards.

Everyone is envious of Chen Lin, envious that he has a good big brother who was born with a golden key in his mouth. But only Chen Lin himself knew that he was really tired. He has never lived a willful life since he was a child. The hopes of everyone in the Chen family rest on him, and the entire family depends on him for survival.

The eldest brother has been away for too long, and things like favor will fade away.

This feeling has become more and more prominent in the past two years. With the retirement of the older generation, few newcomers will buy into the Chen family's account. The current Chen family is like sitting in the crater of a volcano. It looks glamorous on the surface, but is actually full of dangers. Once one day they cannot hold on any longer, it will be an avalanche for the whole family. No matter how high you stand, you will be miserable when you fall.

This is not unfounded worry. Recently, there have been rumors outside that his eldest brother has died outside and will never come back.

The rumors couldn't be groundless, someone behind the scenes started to test.

"It's been too long, and there isn't much favor left."

Chen Lin murmured to himself, his voice was very low, only he could hear it.

"Are you worried about the Southwest?"

The woman didn't know what her husband was talking about, she just thought it was another matter involving the court. Things have been very troubled in the southwest recently. There has been a drought for more than half a year, and the sowing season has been missed, which has led to famine in large areas. Some people are taking advantage of this situation to stir up trouble in the world. There are also some demons raising corpses secretly. Master Du Jian, who is in charge of the palace, has been out for two days. More than a month.

As one of the few immortal masters close to the Chen family, Du Jian's departure has greatly affected the entire Chen family, and someone secretly is constantly intensifying this conflict.

"After a year of drought, if the drought continues this year, more people will die. By then, the situation may be completely out of control."

Chen Lin sighed, and there was nothing he could do for a while.

Matters involving immortal cultivators are not something that he, a mortal, can control. Sometimes, Chen Lin is very envious of his elder brother, whom he has never met. He heard that he has become an 'immortal', and he no longer needs to pay attention to these messy things in the mortal world. Every day The sword comes and goes, just absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, chasing immortality and immortality.

"As long as Master Du is here, there will be no chaos. I heard from my brother that she has already informed Xie Xianzi of Cuizhu Valley. She is an Immortal Talisman Master. It's okay if those corpse-raising monsters don't come out to cause trouble. If they do come out, they will definitely be killed. Xie Xianshi killed all but left no trace."

The woman was not aware of the dispute behind it, and only thought it was a simple turmoil. Little did she know that the person who took action this time had already included Xie Shuang and Du Jian.

The couple chatted for a while, and then the woman went to bed first.

As I get older, my energy is not what it used to be. Chen Lin, who had something on his mind, came to the study, lit the oil lamp, and began to read the recent reports from the southwest.

He watched so intently that he couldn't hold on until midnight.

"It's difficult."

Chen Lin sighed, put down the book in his hand, and rubbed his temples. When he looked up, he found someone standing in the study.

A young man wearing a blue robe.

This man was looking through the books in the study. Looking at him like this, it was obvious that he had been here for a while.

"Who are you?"

Chen Lin asked in a deep voice. Being in a high position all year round made him indifferent to emotions and anger. The expression on his face did not change at all, and even his voice did not fluctuate at all.

He put his right hand into his cuff and pinched the talisman hidden inside.

This talisman was given to him by Fairy Xie Shuang. At critical moments, he could unleash an immortal strike, which was very powerful. Over the years, he has survived several crises with the help of this talisman. Unfortunately, the power of the talisman is limited, and the remaining power is only enough to activate once.

"Second-level Flame Dragon Talisman, Xie Shuang has made some progress over the years, and actually became a second-level talisman master in such a magical place."

Chen Luo put down the book in his hand and looked at the old man in front of him.

Two brothers, one looks young, in his twenties, the other has gray hair and wrinkles on his face, standing together like grandparents.

"Who sent you here? Corpse breeder or ghost breeder? I'll pay double whatever they give you." Chen Lin took a deep breath, feeling that the situation was a little out of control.

The visitor was actually able to tell his trump card at once.

This made him secretly feel bad, and he only hoped that the other party would let his family go after killing him.

“You’re just going to entertain me, my big brother, like this?”

Big brother?

Chen Lin, who was already thinking about the aftermath, was stunned after hearing these words. He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief for a long time before he asked.

"Where did the third uncle's name come from?"

This question was asked very cleverly. Chen Dahe did not come to the capital, and not many people knew about him. Even if someone found this person, they would only know a name and would not know the origin of the name at all.

"Didn't the old man pick it up by the river? It's still related to the name of his father Dachuan."

Chen Luo answered this question with a smile.

The third uncle is not from the Chen family. Only people in their own family know this secret.

"Are you really a big brother?!"

Chen Lin stood up excitedly, and for a moment he felt that the mountain pressing on him was much lighter. All the pressure I had faced over the years was gone. He didn't know what level of 'immortal' his eldest brother was, but judging from his unchanged appearance, his cultivation was definitely not weaker than Master Du and Xie Xianzi.

The two immortal masters Chen Lin had the most contact with were no longer young.

"I already know what's going on with you. It's not a big deal. Go to bed early."

Chen Luo looked at his silver-haired brother in front of him and sighed.

He chose to stay away from his hometown to pursue the path of immortality. The Chen family passed on the family line, and the task of lighting up the gate fell entirely on his younger brother Chen Lin. Although he has never met this younger brother, he knows that he has helped him shoulder the responsibilities of the family.

"Brother, you have to be careful. This rebellion in the southwest is not simple. I suspect they are well prepared. There are also immortal cultivators behind these people."

Chen Lin was afraid that his elder brother would underestimate the enemy, so he quickly told the information he knew.

In a short time, he had determined the identity of his eldest brother. Some things cannot be faked. The feeling of blood being thicker than water is very mysterious and can make people put down their guard as quickly as possible.

"Don't worry, it will be solved soon."

Chen Luo took out a pill and gave it to Chen Lin, asking him to take it in person, and then used his spiritual power to help him digest the potency. Chen Lin does not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Like Chen Luo before him, the entire Chen family does not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Chen Luo's ability to reach his current state depends entirely on his 'own efforts'.

The spiritual roots in his body were all 'synthesized' using an external brain, and he still hasn't figured out the relationship between them.

"If my parents are still here, they will be very happy to see you back." Chen Lin looked at his still young brother in front of him and couldn't help but say.

He didn't know if he would be able to see his eldest brother again next time.

"And the second sister, she has been talking about you all these years."

"You are complaining that I am unfilial, right?"

Chen Luo said with a smile that he had made a special trip to stay at his younger sister's house before coming here, so he naturally heard clearly those words that secretly blamed him.

"Second sister, that's not what she meant."

Chen Lin was a little embarrassed. He had also heard what the second sister said on weekdays, and there was indeed a lot of complaining in it. It doesn't matter if the eldest brother is not here on weekdays, but now that everyone is back, it is inevitably a bit hurtful to say this.

"I know."

Chen Luo waved his hand and stopped talking about the topic. He patted his younger brother Chen Lin on the shoulder.

"Go to bed early. Everything will be solved when you wake up tomorrow."

A ray of spiritual power escaped from Chen Luo's hand. Chen Lin, who was talking, yawned for no reason. Sleepiness hit his heart and he couldn't help but want to sleep.

"Brother, I have a lot to say to you. I have listened to my parents since I was a child."

Chen Lin suppressed his sleepiness and talked a lot. In the end, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep in a daze. (End of chapter)
