I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

After passing on a little bit of Qi Refining Realm cultivation experience to the two of them, Chen Luo said goodbye to the two of them. There was no need to give them any more resources. He had left some behind last time and they haven't used them up yet. The outcome of practicing in this extraordinary place has already been determined for the two of them. This is the path they chose, and Chen Luo has no intention of changing them. This matter was already discussed when he came back last time.

After leaving the southwest region, Chen Luo did not return to the capital, but flew all the way. Half a day later, he returned to Qingya County again.

The county seat is still the same.

This is the only way to return to the entrance of the tomb. Chen Luo stayed in mid-air, his consciousness spread, and he found his junior sister He Min again.

He Min spent the three days in a hurry. After she finished arranging her own affairs, she returned to the small courtyard behind Ma Laizi again.

A man was sitting in the yard, as if waiting for something.

Sitting next to He Min was a bald, shriveled old man. The old man kept mumbling something, as if he was yearning for something, but also looking forward to it.

"Let me tell you, what Uncle Chen did was so unethical. After all, I called him 'senior brother' for several days, but he didn't come to see me this time. When I was a kid, I ate a lot less for him. A chicken drumstick? Now that I think about it, I feel bad! This time I see him, I must tell him something."

The old man's nagging voice reached his ears.

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Luo immediately guessed the identity of the bald old man.

He was Xiaohu, the only son of Ma Laizi's senior brother and uncle Ruan Jianglong. That little kid wearing crotchless pants called his senior brother outside and asked him to take him to cultivate immortality.

Time flies.

The child in the past has now become a rickety old man, sitting next to He Min and talking non-stop, even the uneasy tension between his eyebrows has not changed.

Ruan Xiaohu also practiced martial arts, and his martial arts skills were not weak. It's a pity that he, like He Min, has no spiritual roots. Even if Chen Luo wants to lead them into Taoism, they have no chance. Not everyone can pick up a royal brain and change their destiny.

"What are you going to say?"

"Of course it is." Ruan Xiaohu subconsciously raised his hand, but mid-sentence, he suddenly stopped.

He Min next to him also stood up.

Their eyes fell on Chen Luo who suddenly appeared in the yard.

"Senior brother."

"Senior brother!! You are finally back. Do you know how much I have missed you these years?"

Looking at the two old friends, a smile flashed across Chen Luo's face. Ruan Xiaohu's condition is a little better than that of He Min, and he still has at least more than ten years to live. In comparison, He Min's condition is much worse. The longevity yuan that Chen Luo lent her had entered the countdown. She returned here after handling her own affairs, presumably waiting for him.

"Is there any unfinished business?"

Chen Luo asked.

"have."

He Min looked at the senior brother in front of him, turned around and walked to the yard next to him, kicked a few sandbags aside, stretched out his hands and assumed the same posture as when he first met Chen Luo.

"Brother, let's fight again, using only martial arts."

"good."

Chen Luo nodded and walked into the courtyard.

He restrained his spiritual power and simulated the internal power that he had not used for a long time. Just like the scene in his memory, the two stood opposite each other, with one person watching.

"This time, I will definitely not lose!"

He Min jumped up and punched out like wind.

This was a move used by Chen Luo, and He Min always remembered it.

Chen Luo raised his hand and took it.

Fists and palms struck each other, the setting sun passed through the two of them, illuminating the yard in orange, and the silhouettes were reflected on the wall, as if time had been frozen.

Walking out of the yard, Chen Luo looked a little disappointed.

Ruan Xiaohu followed behind, his expression a little uncomfortable.

He Min won. She had practiced martial arts all her life and won the last round in her life. Maybe it was Chen Luo who asked her, or maybe it was the result of her hard work. In short, she punched Chen Luo in the chest with her last punch, and she never woke up after that.

The two sent He Min back to the room and notified the He family to come over and deal with the aftermath.

Chen Luo applied a spiritual power to He Min's corpse to ensure that the corpse would not decay and would not be affected by the aura of the tomb and become a refined corpse.

"Uncle Chen, have you become an immortal?"

The two of them left after the He family arrived.

While walking on the road, Ruan Xiaohu suddenly asked.

He had been holding back this question for a long time. Looking at Chen Luo whose appearance remained unchanged, he felt envious from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Not only Chen Luo has said this, but also Immortal Master Du Jian and Immortal Master Xie Shuang in the capital have confirmed this.

I have been looking forward to it all my life, but I don’t even have the qualifications to get started.

"It's not like I might have a chance to become an immortal in the future."

Chen Luo didn't know how far away the realm of immortals was from him. As far as he could see, there were only two realms above.

Nascent Soul, Transformation of God.

The road to becoming a god has been cut off, and many people are looking for an opportunity to become a god.

"But in my opinion, you are already an immortal."

Ruan Xiaohu was walking next to him. He was already old, and He Min's departure was a big blow to him. Unlike Chen Luo, Ruan Xiaohu and He Min have known each other for more than eighty years. With the departure of the older generation, Ruan Xiaohu has fewer and fewer acquaintances. Today, even He Min has left.

The only elder in his memory was Chen Luo.

"Compared to ordinary people like us, you have an immortal lifespan, the ability to control wind and rain, and you can even control ghosts."

Ruan Xiaohu said nonchalantly.

Tears shed from the corners of his eyes just as he spoke.

"Senior Brother. Senior Sister He went over there. You must take good care of her, but don't let her be bullied by the kid. I was lazy when I was a child, and Senior Sister He took care of me in the same way. She bought me a lot of chicken drumsticks at that time. My father wouldn't let me eat, saying I hadn't practiced my kung fu well. Every time I got beaten, Senior Sister He would come to see me. I was afraid that she would be bullied there."

"Will do."

Chen Luo was silent.

The two walked all the way back to Ruan's house.

The Ruan family that was the original bodyguard bureau has long since stopped running it. After Ruan Jianglong's generation died, Ruan Xiaohu contracted out the business of the bodyguard bureau and moved to Qingya County to open a martial arts school here. It has been open for most of my life, and now the Ruan Family Martial Arts School is very famous in Qingya County. Most of the county officials are Ruan Xiaohu's apprentices.

In Qingya County, he can speak better than the county magistrate.

Along the way, Ruan Xiaohu kept bragging to Chen Luo about his experiences over the years. It had been a long time since he had told his elders about his experiences so happily. It seemed that only at this moment, he returned to his childhood and became that naughty snot-nosed kid again.

night.

Chen Luo used his spiritual power to clean up Ruan Xiaohu's body and left a few pills for him.

After doing this, he stood up, opened the door and walked out.

In the cold long street, the sound of the watchman's bamboo tube came from other streets.

Stepping on the long bluestone street, the moonlight shines down from above. Originally, Chen Luo was planning to leave directly, but he didn't want to sense a familiar scent when he was leaving. He walked along the long street to the end, where he saw an antique courtyard.

Chen Luo has been to this courtyard before.

After the chaos in Qingya County, he accidentally entered here. This courtyard was the only one that was not affected at that time. He also found a painting in the study room in the courtyard and learned about a man named "Wang Chengguan".

Now more than eighty years have passed, and the courtyard is still the same as in memory.

The changes in Qingya County have not affected this place, and everyone has subconsciously avoided it.

squeak

Chen Luo opened the door and walked in.

There are some weeds growing in the yard, but they are not high, as if someone is repairing them. The stone tables and benches in the courtyard glowed white under the moonlight. The grid on the chessboard was criss-crossed, and the black and white chess pieces were like precious jade, glowing with fluorescent light.

The study room directly opposite was still as he remembered, and Chen Luo saw another painting on the table.

The writing is still "Wang Chengguan".

Withdrawing his consciousness, Chen Luo walked into the courtyard again. He searched carefully around the courtyard and looked through all the books in the study, but found nothing out of the ordinary. This seems to be an ordinary small courtyard, no different from Ruan Xiaohu's house.

‘When you catch the moon in the water, you can see the true pavilion only when you enter the water. ’

When Chen Luo walked to the bedside, the newly obtained fourth-level array mage's brain suddenly gave a suggestion.

Chen Luo stopped and looked back to the pool in the courtyard. The bright moon hanging high was perfectly reflected in the water. The water surface was like a mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky. Chen Luo walked to the edge of the pool and saw the fish swimming inside.

An abandoned courtyard with no one inhabited, where did these fish come from?

Returning to the yard, Chen Luo used his spiritual consciousness to detect it, and he found a node in the water.

It's a formation.

"It's a very profound formation, and the layout techniques are different from those in Tiannan Territory."

Chen Luo walked to the edge of the pool and looked for a long time but couldn't find the second node. So he reached out from his sleeve and took out a cursed straw man.

Go into the water to test, and the cursed straw man is more useful than the talisman man.

Putting the cursed straw man on the ground, Chen Luo stretched out his index finger. A little spiritual light gathered at the fingertips, and the power of the curse extended over it. The eyes of the stiff cursed straw man immediately lit up, a scarlet light flashed, and he glanced left and right, then stood up and walked to the edge of the pool and jumped in with a 'pop'.

A circle of ripples spread out.

The corresponding picture suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's mind.

The cursed straw man did not sink to the bottom of the pool after entering the water, but strangely "floated" out of the water.

As soon as this side entered the water, the other side immediately emerged from the water.

Just like the scene in the head here, there is also this small courtyard on the other side. The difference is that this underwater courtyard is actually daytime. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. On the edge of the pond, a woman was beating Huanxi's clothes with a mallet while humming a song.

The yard not far away was also cleaned cleanly. Chen Luo also saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue gown in the study opposite. This man was painting in the study.

Maybe he noticed Chen Luo's gaze.

The man who was painting in the study raised his head at the same time, and just met the eyes of the straw man on the surface of the pool.

"I wonder who it is, it turns out a guest is here."

The moment the man finished speaking these words, the cursed straw man floating on the water spontaneously ignited strangely. The body submerged in the water was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. There was nothing the so-called 'pool water' could do about it. Block this flame. (End of chapter)
