"Sir, are you daydreaming again?"

A young boy carrying a book box stopped in front of the store. Seeing Chen Luo in a daze, the boy couldn't help but smile and said something.

The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Scholar.

There is a vigorous vitality between his brows, which is the longing for the future.

"Yeah, in a daze."

Chen Luo glanced at the boy, then continued to look at the blacksmith who was working on the ironwork opposite him, and responded casually. He knew this boy, and he had his demon seed in him. The Blood Blade Tribulation Cultivator was very prominent among all the Tribulation Cultivators. His Blood Blade magical power could pollute people's souls, and was very vicious. After being dragged into the Heart Demon Tribulation by him, this person, like all the Tribulation Cultivators, forgot the past and completely integrated into this place.

"I encountered a problem when I was studying recently."

The young man sat down next to him, took out a book from the bookcase, and wanted to ask Chen Luo questions.

He met this dazed gentleman by chance. He looked dull, but he was actually very talented. He was a hidden talent in the market. Such a person would soar to the sky sooner or later. After realizing this, Lu Jie would often come to get close to him, hoping to help him when he rose to prominence in the future.

"Recently, scholars have been focusing on external matters and neglecting internal matters, and their knowledge is extensive but their ideas are limited."

Seeing that Chen Luo didn't say anything, Lu Jie raised his own question.

"It's only 'sincerity'."

Chen Luo responded casually. Such questions were no problem for him. He may not have studied these subjects or researched similar problems, but there was always something in his external brain. After completing the island, he now had nearly 500 external brains, and the worst one was in the early stage of foundation building. Each of them lived for more than 200 years, and some brains that died of old age even lived for 500 years. The superposition of the brains of so many old monsters led Chen Luo to use the "data" in his brain to the limit. As long as he had seen it, he could quote it from classics.

“Sincerity.”

Lu Jie was puzzled, but he still took note of it.

Then Lu Jie took out his notes and asked a few more questions, and Chen Luo answered them one by one.

It was getting dark and the blacksmith shop closed.

After parting with Lu Jie, Chen Luo followed his memory and returned home. He was just 20 years old when he was in the inner demon tribulation, and his eldest sister-in-law was still alive, and she was the only relative in the family.

"Is uncle back?"

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Luo saw a woman busy in the yard.

This was his sister-in-law in his memory, his eldest brother's wife. She was not a lady from a wealthy family, but just an ordinary peasant woman.

Xin Hong had not received much education and married into the Zhang family at the age of 16. When she married, the Zhang family was very prominent. At that time, both the father and son of the Zhang family were officials. Although they were not high-ranking officials, they were still prominent figures in this alley. At that time, everyone said that Xin Hong was lucky and would enjoy a happy life in the second half of her life.

But things don't always go as planned.

The Zhang family father and son were killed during an anti-bandit campaign. When the old woman heard the sad news, she died without even being able to breathe.

Just three months after her marriage, Xin Hong went from being a "lucky" woman that everyone envied to a widow.

At that time, the youngest son of the Zhang family was only nine years old. Everyone thought Xin Hong would remarry, but she chose to stay and stay in the Zhang family to take care of Zhang Zheng, the second son of the Zhang family.

A sixteen-year-old woman with no skills could only earn a meager income by washing clothes. She also sold her dowry when she got married and saved the money to live on. She persisted in this way for twelve years.

In the past twelve years, her delicate hands have become rough and wrinkles have appeared on her head. She placed all her hopes on Zhang Zheng, letting him study and not letting him do any rough or strenuous housework.

These are the memories of this body.

"Sister-in-law."

Chen Luo greeted.

"There's food left on the stove, remember to eat some." Xin Hong smiled, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her wrist, and pointed to the inner room.

"Um."

Chen Luo nodded and walked into the inner room. In his memory, there were many similar conversations. Xin Hong was very strong-willed. Every time he wanted to help, Xin Hong would refuse and tell him that he would be a master in the future and could not do these rough jobs.

Life is very dull.

This went on day after day, Chen Luo would go to the street to help people every morning. Lu Jie, the young man transformed by the Blood Blade Tribulation Cultivator, would come to him on time to ask him for advice, and would give him some money when he left.

This continued until half a year later, when something unexpected happened to the Lu family.

Chen Luo hadn't seen Lu Jie for nearly half a month. When he saw him again, he looked like he had lost his soul and stood in front of him in a daze.

"Sir, I am here to say goodbye to you."

Chen Luo looked up at him and found that Lu Jie was surrounded by a strong aura of disaster.

"What happened?"

"I originally thought that I would be like my elders in this life, studying hard to pass the imperial examinations, and then serving the court with my meager efforts, but things are unpredictable." Lu Jie sat down next to him. Today he did not bring a book box, nor did he prepare any questions. It was as if he came here to chat with an old friend.

Chen Luo knew that the time had come for him to make a decision.

The inner demon tribulation is like life, full of choices.

One wrong step can lead to eternal damnation.

"My father was wrongly imprisoned. My elder brother and I have tried every possible way to rescue him these days, but we have failed. If we delay any further, there will be no improvement." Lu Jie said this, but his eyes flashed with a different luster than before, and the robbery cultivator holding the blood knife seemed to appear in front of him again.

Although he does not have extraordinary powers, he has a kind of momentum that ordinary people do not possess.

"As a son, how can I ignore the lives of my parents? I am willing to sacrifice my humble body and life in exchange for my father's life." Lu Jie already had a plan in his mind.

"Is it worth it to waste all these years of hard study? Maybe your father doesn't want you to save him in this way."

“There are things you should do and things you shouldn’t do.”

The light in Lu Jie's eyes became firm. He came to see Chen Luo not to discuss anything, but just to say goodbye. After a few words, Lu Jie stood up and said goodbye to Chen Luo solemnly, then turned and walked to the other side of the street.

Chen Luo looked at Lu Jie's receding back, as if he saw a knight from Yan.

'Life and death, loyalty and filial piety.'

Chen Luo stood up, put away the stall for today, and turned to the direction where Lu Jie disappeared. He wanted to see Lu Jie's final decision. If he could really keep his heart, this person would definitely be able to help him raise a good demon seed after leaving the inner demon calamity.

Grand banquet at Zhou Mansion.

Sima was celebrating his birthday, so he held a banquet for his guests. The room was full of distinguished guests, and the host was toasting each other. There were countless guests coming and going. Lu Jie hid a knife in his sleeve, blended in with the guests, and entered Zhou's house. The environment was noisy, and no one noticed this young man, and they just thought he was also a guest who came to celebrate the birthday.

Sima Zhou was living a happy life. Some time ago, he joined hands with his good friends to defeat his political enemies. Now that there was no one to hinder him, he should be on the rise.

This is the right way to live. As for the dreams of youth, in Zhou Sima's view, they are all immature and ignorant of the truth of the world, which makes them look so ridiculous. If you want to climb up in this world, you have to give up some things.

"I wish Mr. Zhou a smooth career and a chance to be promoted to Prime Minister."

Sima Zhou had just finished boasting about his power when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

The tipsy Zhou Sima turned around and looked at a young boy he didn't recognize. Judging from the childish look on his face, he must be from a certain family. He took the opportunity of toasting to get close to him and wanted him to remember him. Zhou Sima had met many people like this, but this was the first time he was so young.

"This is what being an official is like! If that Lu guy could be so sensible, why would I go to such lengths to harm him? Isn't it good for us to get rich together? Why do you have to speak for those peasants?"

The wine glass fell, and a cold light suddenly flashed from the sleeves. At such a close distance, the slightly tipsy Zhou Sima had no time to react.

Phew!

The blade entered his throat.

Hot blood gushed out from Zhou Sima's neck. He covered his neck with both hands, trying to stop the blood from spurting out.

But it's too late.

"Protect the Lord!"

Such a sudden change shocked everyone on the main seat. Some people screamed in fear, and some fell to the ground. Only Lu Jie stood on one side, holding a dagger, with a determined look on his face. He looked around and left a word.

"The murderer is Lu Jie!"

The guards rushed forward and attacked him with swords. How could the frail Lu Jie be a match for these soldiers? He was killed in a moment. Lying in a pool of blood, Lu Jie had a smile on his face.

He knew that his father was rescued.

The state military commander was stabbed to death. Such a big event will surely be reported to the emperor. As long as the people above are willing to investigate, this unjust case will not be continued, and my father will be vindicated. Their Lu family will also be saved from the quagmire.

"It's a pity that I can no longer discuss books with you, sir."

At the moment of Mount Sumeru, the teacher who taught him emerged in Lu Jie's mind. He seemed to vaguely see a familiar figure among the guests.

"It is good to do something and not do something."

Chen Luo stood among the guests, looked at Lu Jie's cooling body, then turned and walked out.

In the void, a layer of invisible power fell on Lu Jie. This was the feedback from the inner demon tribulation. After these powers merged into his body, they were quickly absorbed by the seed between his eyebrows. Under the nourishment of this power, the seed quickly broke its shell and turned into a small black stone.

These rewards that were supposed to go to the immortal cultivators were intercepted by the "demon species".

The robbery came from Chen Luo's hands, and naturally it will return to his hands.

These people who are undergoing the tribulation are just crops.

This is the real way to "plant demons".

Lu Jie's consciousness floated in the air, as if he had turned into a ghost. He could not leave, nor could he communicate with anyone. After his death, his memory began to recover. He remembered his identity and recognized the "gentleman". He didn't know why he could still retain his consciousness, and where the others were? He subconsciously glanced at Zhou Sima, who he had killed, and found that this person was also a robbery cultivator from the outside world, but for some reason, this person's consciousness did not fly out like him, and the light on his body dimmed.

I guess he's really dead.

Under Lu Jie's puzzled gaze, the "gentleman" stood among the guests and waved at him gently. A small stone emitting a faint glow flew out from his body and fell into the other person's hand.

"gentlemen."

"If you survive, you will experience it well."

Chen Luo reminded him, and then he ignored the floating Lu Jie and walked out of the door. He was not the only one who was in this inner demon tribulation. The "demon seed" that Chen Luo really bet on was Ao Ye, the youngest son of the Black Horn King.

This child is the main seedling! (End of this chapter)
