I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

Chapter 394: The Sea of ​​Bitterness

"What did you find?"

Elder Xijian, who came with Chen Luo, had been paying attention to him. Seeing the change in his facial expression, he subconsciously asked.

Chen Luo did not respond to his question, but glanced to the other side.

In the old forest on the right, a figure appeared at some point.

A fox with a cane.

"Are you here to make a wish?"

Noticing the gazes of Chen Luo and others, the old fox spoke in human language.

This fox gave people a very strange feeling. He was different from other demon cultivators. He did not have a demonic aura on his body. Instead, he had a peculiar smell of incense. This strange feeling was very similar to the Shinto techniques that Chen Luo had come into contact with before.

"Are you the monster from this evil temple?"

Elder Xijian's face suddenly turned cold. The information he had obtained through the necromancy technique, the ghost of his dead disciple clearly pointed out that the murderer was the monster in the Fox Fairy Temple.

"I am a practitioner in the mountains."

The old fox shook his head, denying Elder Xijian's words. He turned his eyes, stared at Elder Xijian who was speaking, and spoke word by word.

"Remember, don't make the mistake next time."

Facing the old fox's gaze, Elder Xijian felt his heart tremble. An indescribable sense of guilt came over him, making him want to kneel down and confess to the fox.

"When did you escape from the inn?"

One sentence broke this strange feeling. Chen Luo took a step forward. The power of the Heart Demon Art mixed with Ling Ren's "Sorrow Art" dissipated this feeling of guilt. The things in the inn were indeed weird. The skills they practiced were the same as those of the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, and they were incompatible with the current world of immortal cultivation.

"I know a lot, but it's all fake."

The old fox's eyes fell on Chen Luo again, and his eyes fluctuated, as if he saw something incomprehensible. Then he took a half step back, and his figure disappeared into thin air like a water curtain.

This is a fake body.

A fake body made of incense and candlelight.

The crowd quickly dispersed and searched around. But they found no clues. There were no footprints where the old fox had stood before, and the dry grass under his feet stood upright with no signs of being trampled.

"The few wolf cubs who kowtowed are all dead."

A disciple discovered the problem.

The rest of the people looked back and found that the animals that had been kneeling and kowtowing before had all died. They were lying on their backs at the entrance of the Fox Temple with creepy smiles on their faces, as if they had seen something they had expected.

Chen Luo walked over, squatted down and checked it.

The gray wolves died completely, without any life remaining in their bodies, and even the life-borrowing Gu could not be extracted. Chen Luo had read similar books when he was in Qionghua Sect, and a certain external brain had made a record of this method.

'Light the longevity incense.'

As soon as a thought comes to mind, the corresponding content immediately emerges.

"The lives of these small animals were burned by the fox as 'incense'. The power he used to reveal himself just now was the lives of these animals."

Chen Luo opened the dead wolf's eyes, which were brown and yellow. When his palms touched their bodies, they felt like weeds, dry and rotten, without any signs of life.

"Brother Chen, the fox on the altar is smiling."

A voice suddenly sounded.

A disciple who was in charge of inspecting the Fox Fairy Temple removed the roof of this evil temple. The fox on the altar inside was still sitting cross-legged, but the difference was that there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.

This smile is exactly the same as the one of the animals kneeling and kowtowing before.

"Evil and crooked!"

Elder Xijian had a bad temper, and a dark magic sword appeared in his hand. The other disciples quickly dispersed when they saw this, and Chen Luo did not stop them.

They are all sword cultivators from the Qionghua School, and their way of handling problems is very similar.

When in doubt, strike with the sword first.

boom!

The sword energy swept past, the statue shattered, and a piece of white cloth flew out from it.

"Sutra of Deliverance from Evil?"

A disciple took the cloth and found that what was written inside was actually a method that could lead to the golden elixir. The method was recorded in great detail, and the source was also described.

'Ge Xian Shu - Disasters are inevitable, cultivating qi and Yi Shu can help you overcome them.'

Chen Luo took the cloth, his eyes flickering, and memorized the contents of the cloth.

This was his second contact with 'Ge Xian'.

The first time was when he killed Xue Ning and obtained a scroll from her. The scroll recorded a set of skills called "The Sutra of the Sea of ​​Bitterness". Xue Ning switched to the way of ghost cultivation after "obtaining" the Sutra of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

A Sutra of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

A sutra for delivering oneself from adversity.

The two scriptures were written by the same person, but I don’t know whether there is any connection between them.

"Why would this fox hide this scripture inside the statue? Could it be that he wanted to borrow the luck from the scripture?"

Elder Xijian also looked through the cloth, but the content was obscure and difficult to understand. After reading for a long time, he still couldn't understand the mystery.

Luck?

When Chen Luo heard these two words, an idea emerged in his mind.

He thought of the fox demon Su Linlin's special ability. As a lucky fox demon, she could see other people's luck. Although the old fox in the Fox Fairy Temple was not a lucky fox demon, it was very likely that he had similar magical powers.

He is also borrowing luck.

The fox demon Su Linlin is borrowing Chen Luo's luck, but the old fox in the Fox Fairy Temple is even bolder.

He is borrowing Ge Xian's luck.

As soon as this thought came up, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Chen Luo's forehead, and he felt that the cloth in his hand was a little hot. He borrowed Brother Changqing's brain, which was already considered a dragon among men, but he didn't expect that there were people who were more courageous than him!

Ge Xian is not like Brother Chang Qing.

He is still alive!

A powerful living being dares to "borrow" it. Ten lives are not enough to compensate. I just hope that this old fox does not succeed, otherwise even if the sky falls, even the tall man will not be able to hold it up!

"No one who can live in the inn is a normal person."

Chen Luo quickly stood up, put the cloth back in place, and used his magical powers to repair the blown-up fox statue. Although the process was a bit rough and the fox statue was repaired into a dog's face, the result was perfect, and he stuffed the cloth back in.

"Did you discover anything?"

Elder Xijian and a group of Qionghua Sect disciples looked at Chen Luo, not understanding why he stuffed the things back. Could it be that there were some secrets in the "Sutra of Deliverance" that they had not discovered?

"Let's get out of here first."

Chen Luo didn't explain to them.

Seeing Chen Luo turn around and leave, the others had no choice but to follow him. Elder Xijian looked back at the dog-faced fox in the Fox Fairy Temple, and felt something was wrong.

The group flew out of the forest and returned to the sect's base.

This is the Qionghua Sect's base closest to the Fox Fairy Temple. The Qionghua Sect's influence in the Tiannan Region is unquestionable, and they have bases in every place. The sect has developed for thousands of years, and there are countless disciples, both openly and secretly, far more than those on the surface.

After returning to the base, Chen Luo assigned a task to Elder Xijian and the others, asking them to go out and collect information related to the Nascent Soul Realm. Although the group did not know what the task had to do with collecting information about the Nascent Soul Realm, they still accepted the task and went out.

Chen Luo was alone in the secret room.

He took out the ancient painting that he had obtained from Xue Ning.

Chen Luo has read this painting many times and memorized the "Sea of ​​Bitterness Sutra" in it, but he has not practiced it so far, because it is a "ghost cultivation method". That is, when Brother Changqing "created the method", he borrowed some of the content from it.

The screen expands.

A familiar ink painting comes into view.

The old and dilapidated temple has the blurred words "Changsheng Temple". The "Sea of ​​Bitterness Sutra" is still engraved on the big stone at the entrance. The Taoist is sitting on the stone and preaching, and a group of monsters are sitting around below. I don't know if it's because I saw the "Sutra of Deliverance from Evil", but when I look at this painting again today, I feel different.

Chen Luo took out the talisman pen and wrote down the contents of the Sutra of Destruction.

A strange scene happened. The moment the "Sutra of Destruction" was finished, the text on it seemed to come alive. A small black character jumped out of the paper and disappeared into the scroll of "Sutra of the Sea of ​​Bitterness" in front of Chen Luo.

Ink painting.

On the large stone that was already covered with writing, there was another row of writing. These writings were combined with the Bitter Sea Sutra to form a new practice.

"To overcome adversity and avoid disaster, a first-class immortal method."

An idea emerged in Brother Changqing's mind.

Boom boom boom.

Before Chen Luo could study it carefully, there was a knock on the door. Chen Luo stopped what he was doing, waved his sleeves, and put away the scroll on the table. After doing this, he stood up and walked to the door, removed the formation defense, and opened the door.

At the door, there stood an old fox in a gray robe.

"I didn't expect that your attainments in formation are so high that even I can't sneak in from outside." The old fox looked at Chen Luo, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"Sutra of Deliverance from Evil?"

Chen Luo took a look at the old fox and immediately understood how this person had found him.

Just like the centipede demon who practiced the "Sutra of the Sea of ​​Bitterness", this old fox has a sense of all those who have come into contact with the "Sutra of Deliverance". This kind of mysterious method is what Chen Luo hates the most.

"How is it? This is Ge Xian's magic. Even if ordinary people want to see it, I won't give them the chance."

The two walked into the room and sat down like old friends.

Chen Luo also poured a cup of tea for the old fox.

"Did you kill the Qionghua Sect disciple?"

"I am a practitioner in the mountains and never take the initiative to kill." The old fox responded with a smile.

Chen Luo stared at the old fox's eyes. He didn't believe a word the old guy said. He had seen with his own eyes that the old fox treated the believers as "incense" and burned them all.

"The few 'comrades' you saw were all volunteers. They made wishes to me, and I fulfilled their wishes and took their lives in the process."

As if knowing what Chen Luo was thinking, the old fox took a sip of tea and continued.

"They have a 'disaster' in their destiny. I will use the secret technique of avoiding disaster to help them. This is the deal."

"Three spiritual fields were destroyed, mineral veins were stolen, and disciples from the seven main peaks died. This is a blood feud that will never end. The remaining ghosts I found all point to you."

Chen Luo did not discuss this topic with the old fox.

If you accept this mission, you must do it well. If you use the Sword Washing Elders to help you with your private affairs, you must not cause them to fail in the mission.

"You can't trust everything a ghost says, and there are people who are more proficient in ghost cultivation than you." (End of this chapter)
