I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Chen Luo ignored the two people's words. He found an empty wall and reached out to knock twice under the black wall. Looking up, he could vaguely see soldiers patrolling with torches.

After waiting for a while, Chen Luo grabbed the two women in one hand and jumped lightly.

In the gap between the patrol soldiers, he took them across the high wall. This scene scared the two women so much that they hugged their children tightly and didn't relax until they entered the city.

The guards in the city were even stricter.

Chen Luo didn't say a word along the way. He took the two women and found a wing room in the backyard of the county magistrate's house to live. With such a large yard, the county magistrate must be very lonely living alone. Chen Luo felt it necessary to help him share the burden.

"Sir, we..."

The two women were very nervous.

Breaking into a private house is a serious crime. Now is such a critical moment. If they are caught, they will definitely be sent to prison. This is because the two of them didn't know that this courtyard was the county magistrate's home. If they knew that this was the county magistrate's home, they would definitely be scared to death.

"I have an old relationship with the owner of this place, you can live here without worry."

After settling the two people, Chen Luo followed his spiritual sense to find the county magistrate who was listening to the beautiful concubine playing the piano in the backyard. The county magistrate of Anning County was nearly 60 years old and paid the most attention to health preservation. He would have gone to bed at this time of day, but now the rioters are surrounding the city, making him unable to sleep and eat. If he doesn't handle it well, it will cause civil unrest, and at the least he will be dismissed by his superiors, and at the worst his life will be lost.

This made him very worried, and he even drank two less glasses of Huadiao wine, which he loved to drink most on weekdays.

"Why should the county magistrate worry? I have a plan to solve the refugees outside the city."

Across the banquet, a Confucian scholar seemed to see the doubts in the county magistrate's heart and said with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me quickly."

The county magistrate was refreshed and asked immediately.

"Just"

The scholar lowered his voice, and the county magistrate was overjoyed and nodded frequently.

Chen Luo stood on the roof and lost interest after listening to a few sentences. These two people had no spiritual roots and were not from the same world as him. He came here just to find a way out for the two women in the backyard.

When the two were discussing, Chen Luo casually added something to their drinks, and that was the end.

Now the magical power cannot be released, and you need to come in person to modify a person's memory. You also need to borrow the power of the Illusion God Gu. The county magistrate did not expect that he, a mortal, could enjoy the top-level strange insect of the Illusion God Gu. This specification can definitely be regarded as the highest "adventure" in his life.

Leave the county government.

Chen Luo found a bookstore in the inner city.

If you want to understand a place, the best way is to read their books first. There are many hidden contents in the books, and through these contents, you can understand the general situation of a place.

Chen Luo mainly read some books such as immortals and monsters. Through these books, he can indirectly understand the immortal world here. By the way, take advantage of this short interval to find a way to restore strength.

The power sensed by the stars in the sky is still suspended above the sky, and there is no way to draw it down.

"Why can't it be drawn down? Where did Senior Ge go again?"

Chen Luo's eyes passed through the roof and looked at the blue sky.

He could sense the existence of the stars, but he just couldn't draw the power down.

This place gave him a very strange feeling, but he couldn't find the specific source of the strangeness. Except for some feedback from the second brother's corpse-reincarnation fairy, the other brains remained as they were in memory, without any changes.

"Boss, do you have a spring picture?" A young man in green clothes walked to the door, looked around, and then asked in a low voice.

That attitude was like a thief.

"Sold out, tomorrow."

Chen Luo didn't even raise his eyelids and replied lazily.

The bookstore was originally the property of the county magistrate. After Chen Luo used the Illusion God Gu to make a simple modification, the store immediately changed its owner. He himself transformed himself into a person from Changshou Village in the east of Anning County, and this shop became the ancestral property of their old Chen family.

Chen Luo changed the cognition of the neighbors around him with the magic Gu.

This is the method of the immortal cultivators.

For the immortal cultivators, integrating into the secular society is just a matter of thought. There is a description in the myths and strange stories that two immortals traveled from a small country and suddenly had a whim to make a bet. The two immortals threw a stone into a wealthy family and used the life of the stone as a bet.

Even the stone is like this, the real immortal is naturally more mysterious.

Although Chen Luo is not as good as the immortal now, it is no different for ordinary people. The magic Gu can let him replace a person's life. If he wants, he can even weave a family for himself, the kind that can be consulted by all generations.

"Remember to leave me a copy tomorrow."

The young man was full of regret, and he did not forget to speak before leaving. For this reason, he specially left two copper coins on the counter at the door as a deposit.

The Spring Scenery Picture was collected by Chen Luo after he became the boss.

It was created by a poor old man.

With this "Spring Scenery Picture", the bookstore that was on the verge of bankruptcy came back to life, and the business improved visibly. Even the regular books that were not selling well in the bookstore saw an increase in sales.

"The spiritual energy of Liu Gang's father is also very strange. He himself has no memory at all."

Chen Luo ignored the copper coins on the counter at the door and began to think about the memory of Liu Gang's father in his mind.

He had read it through last night, and there was nothing special.

Born, married, had children.

Everything was the same as everyone else.

He had also read all the books in the bookstore. There were few useful clues. In these books, Chen Luo did not find any clues related to cultivators. There were a lot of insignificant ghost stories, and he even went there twice, but he did not find any real things. Instead, he became a new character in the nearby "Gods and Monsters".

Gravedigger.

When he received the manuscript, Chen Luo was numb.

The disaster victims outside the city dispersed half a month ago.

The relief grain was sent from above, and Hanshui City was distributing porridge, which attracted all the disaster victims.

Work-for-relief is still very useful in this era.

Chen Luo did not ask about these things. He was like a passerby, and he was out of tune with the people here. It was the two women who were rescued by him into the city before who came once. They are now distant relatives of the county magistrate. With this relationship, they have established a firm foothold in Anning County.

A few days ago, the two women borrowed the relationship of the county magistrate to open a laundry next to Chen Luo's bookstore, and their lives were on track.

With the help of the county government, no rogue dared to come to the door to cause trouble.

"Sir, lunch is ready."

Yunniang's voice came from outside the door.

Yunniang was the first woman to ask Chen Luo for help. She had a son named Wang Xiaohu. The other woman was named Xiaohong, who was a little older than Yunniang and had a much more aggressive personality, which can be seen from the scene of asking Chen Luo for help at that time.

The two women opened a shop next to Chen Luo's bookstore, first to make a living for themselves, and second to repay Chen Luo, their savior. Without Chen Luo's help, the two of them would never have been able to enter Anning County, let alone get involved with the county magistrate and live the life they are living now.

"I'm a little hungry."

Chen Luo retracted his thoughts and got up to close the door of the bookstore.

This was also the second trouble he had when he came here. Without the maintenance of spiritual power, he would feel hungry every day. There were still about a hundred fasting pills in the cave gourd, and Chen Luo could not use the pills as food. The appearance of Yunniang and Hongniang helped Chen Luo solve a problem.

"The benefactor is here?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Hongniang, who was taking care of the child inside, hurriedly stood up.

Both of them crawled out of the refugee pile and came to Anning County, a strange place, and naturally huddled together.

"Don't be so polite."

Chen Luo motioned for the two to sit down, and checked the situation of the two children. After confirming that the previous days did not leave them with hidden dangers, he ate the wine and food on the table.

The days passed like this.

The outside world was still turbulent, and wars broke out from time to time.

Fortunately, Anning County was far away from the Central Plains, and its location on the border became its advantage. Except for the occasional refugees wandering over, this place was almost forgotten by the heroes fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains. Anning County still maintains the previous rules, and even the county magistrate follows the laws of the dynasty when judging cases.

However, the dynasty has long been in name only, and no one except this small place will take the dynasty seriously.

Time passed, and half a year passed in a flash.

There were some signs of the dynasty's hegemony. Liu Gang, who had met Chen Luo once before, had made some name for himself. It was said that he was working under a senior official, and more than a dozen small cities in the entire southwest region were attached to the Liu family.

Because of the life-saving "elixir" at the beginning, Liu Gang found Chen Luo again and wanted to ask him to come out.

But he was rejected by Chen Luo.

Chen Luo's bookstore became famous because of this, and many people who wanted to get in touch with Liu Gang found him here. It's a pity that these people are destined to waste their efforts. Chen Luo left Anning County the day after rejecting Liu Gang.

He planned to leave this place and go out to look for traces of immortal cultivators.

The most important thing is to confirm the guess in his heart.

"Sir, are you really leaving?"

Yunniang and Hongniang looked at Chen Luo reluctantly. They knew that Chen Luo was going to leave early in the morning, so they waited outside the bookstore.

"Go out for a walk, maybe you will come back after a while."

After Chen Luo gave the key to the bookstore to the two, he rode his newly bought donkey and left Anning County.

He walked west along the official road. He passed several cities on the way and saw several large-scale battles and countless displaced victims. After the war, there was a scorched earth, vultures circling, and the setting sun was bloody. Bandits were rampant outside the city. Chen Luo shot no less than ten bandits to death along the way, and scared away hundreds of bandits. (End of this chapter)
