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...

Qualifications!

Chen Luo was greatly inspired. The moment the Nineteenth Young Master's brain was collected, he clearly felt something different, a feeling similar to the previous royal brain. Perhaps because of its higher degree of completeness, the Nineteenth Young Master's brain operated faster than the first royal brain he collected. Faintly, he seemed to see a kind of energy that he had never felt before.

"Good! It's worth the risk."

Chen Luo was greatly encouraged.

After being trapped for so many days, he finally found a breakthrough. As expected, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. This Nineteenth Young Master is his chance!

After cleaning up the scene briefly, Chen Luo quickly walked over and took the Nineteenth Young Master's jade pendant and his jade slip into his arms. The traces he left on the jade slip were not removed. From this point of view, the Nineteenth Young Master's qualifications may not be as high as he boasted. What about "becoming an immortal" in the future is probably just bragging.

But it is understandable that Young Master Nineteen has nothing in his hands now. If he wants to win over the middle-aged Confucian scholar, all he can do is promise big things in the future. Chen Luo has seen this kind of tricks many times, so naturally he will not take it seriously.

After dealing with the scene, Chen Luo blew out the candles in the room.

He climbed out from the broken window, and as he passed by, he also took away the brain of 'Old Jiang' who was guarding the Nineteenth Young Master.

It would be a waste to keep it anyway, so you might as well use the remaining energy on yourself.

In this way, Chen Luo has completely turned things around.

In addition to the Nineteenth Young Master, a genius with the "qualification for cultivating immortals", he also earned the brain of a master-level strongman, which was also the first master-level brain he had obtained. The knife-wielding strong man and the Taoist priest Li Chen who he met in the valley before were not collected for various reasons, and now this regret has finally been made up.

It was a long time after he left that noise was heard from the courtyard.

But at this time Chen Luo had already left the county government office and returned to his residence.

After General Fan died, Eunuch Wei's connection was cut off, so he returned to his uncle's yard and cleaned it up. He also found someone to repair the burned part a few days ago. There are people everywhere in Qingya County these days. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is too easy to repair a house.

After entering the house, Chen Luo did not rush in, but waited at the door for a moment, and only closed the door and went in after making sure that no one was following him.

Returning to the room, he quickly walked to the closet and changed out of his bloodstained nightgown.

"These clothes need to be dealt with."

Chen Luo glanced around the room and found a pitch-black brazier.

The last time Eunuch Wei and his men came over, Third Uncle used this brazier to clean up the mess. He didn't expect that it was time to clean up the mess again.

He took some charcoal and put it in to light it.

After the fire started, Chen Luo quickly threw the nightgown with the potion poured into the brazier.

Black smoke rose.

Soon, the bloodstained nightgown was burned into black ash, and the smoke drifted away under the influence of the night. This little movement did not attract anyone's attention in Qingya County, which was already in ruins. After the war, many people's houses were destroyed. At this point, there were still many people outside repairing their houses overnight, and the movement was much louder than Chen Luo's side.

After burning the fire, Chen Luo found a bag, put the black ash in the basin into a bag, and dragged it to the yard at the back.

Eunuch Wei and others rest in peace here.

Chen Luo took a shovel and skillfully dug another hole next to Eunuch Wei's burial site.

After burying all the ashes in the pit, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. During the process, he also used his uncle's secret corpse burying medicine to make sure that even if a dog came in, it wouldn't be able to smell the odor.

"Old Wei, I'm here to fertilize you again..."

By the time everything was done, half an hour had passed. Chen Luo chatted with Eunuch Wei's ashes for a few words before turning back to the house.

Close the door.

Chen Luo took out the two items he had seized tonight.

With the help of the oil lamp on the table, he clearly saw the strange vision on the surface of two objects.

The Nineteenth Young Master's jade pendant and jade book emitted a faint blue light under the reflection of the fire. Previously, no matter what method he used, he could not activate the jade book, but now it came to life under the guidance of the jade pendant.

After a while, there was finally movement outside.

The murder of the Crown Prince was like a blast from the sky.

A large number of soldiers holding torches searched the city overnight, and the sound of knocking on doors and shouting and cursing continued to be heard. Chen Luo, who heard the noise, quickly blew out the oil lamp and hid the two things close to his body.

For Chen Luo now, it is safest to keep it on his body.

With his strength, he would be able to escape immediately even if he encountered any misfortune.

Soon, the sound of searching reached the door.

"Open the door, open the door!!"

Bang bang bang!

There were constant rapid knocks on the door, and the light from the torch shone through the crack in the door.

"Who is it?"

Chen Luo adjusted his state, pretended to have just woken up, and opened the door sleepily.

As soon as the bolt was pulled, torches immediately lit up. A large number of soldiers with weapons surrounded the entrance, and some pushed Chen Luo aside and began to search the yard.

"Chen Luo? The county's burial man."

There was even a captain who pulled the cloth roll of portrait and looked Chen Luo up and down.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly me."

Chen Luo seemed to be frightened as well, and looked like he had just woken up. When he heard the question, he immediately nodded in response.

The leading captain looked at it for a moment, and only put the portrait away after confirming its identity.

"Sir, what happened?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

The leading captain glanced at him and scolded him impatiently.

"Let me ask you, have you seen anyone suspicious tonight?"

"Suspicious person? No, I have been resting at home since I was fired. My neighbors can testify to that."

Chen Luo looked confused.

This is the advantage of being a local. If something happens, the neighbors will help cover it up and make it look like nothing happened. If you are an outsider, you will not get this kind of treatment.

There will be no problems with the household registration files.

He was a native of Qingya County and had an identity record, so he was least afraid of this kind of interrogation. It was estimated that the soldiers on the other side had the same idea, so they were somewhat perfunctory when asking questions.

"There's no one inside, and nothing suspicious."

Soon, the soldiers who were searching inside came back.

"Let's go to the next one!"

The soldiers immediately withdrew as per their routine and headed to the next house, without even bothering to say a word to Chen Luoduo.

In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers were gone.

The sound of knocking on the door kept fading away, and the soldiers' routine search alarmed the entire city.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.

Chen Luo glanced in the direction they left and closed the door silently.

The death of a prince is just the beginning.

Chen Luo had anticipated these before the killings. If he were given a chance to start over, he would still kill the two. Some things are destined not to be seen in the light, and once they are seen in the light, it is destined to be a life-and-death struggle. Chen Luo did not want to die, so he had to let the Prince of Ning go first in his place.

The riot continued until dawn.

There was chaos and even the sound of fighting. No one knew what the soldiers had found.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Luo anymore.

It was a mess outside, but he was just like anyone else in the yard. In the early morning, he used the brain of the Nineteenth Young Master to inhale and exhale the morning sun energy, and his cultivation speed really became much faster. Not only that, the energy that had previously blocked his meridians also slowly loosened, and the light blue energy was digested and absorbed by him.

This scene boosted Chen Luo's spirits, and he instantly felt that Young Master Nineteen's death was "more worthwhile"!
