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 617: Legend of Demons

“Get out of the way!!”

Before Chen Luo could observe carefully, he felt his body being pushed away. A group of officials in black robes rushed over from behind, cleared all the people on both sides of the street, and then stood on both sides to prevent any strangers from jumping out to block the road.

A woman wearing a crimson robe, sitting in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

The woman sat cross-legged in the middle, with her long hair hanging down and her red skirt draped around the sedan chair, like a blooming flower.

When the pedestrians on both sides saw the woman in red on the sedan chair, they all showed expressions of awe.

"Mr. Fairy."

"When the fairy lady goes on tour, there must be some evil spirit causing trouble."

From the whispers of the crowd, Chen Luo heard the other party's identity and saw the same aura from the other party as the willow spirit before. This woman is the carrier of this space and the source of the legend.

"stop!"

The Red Fairy on the street suddenly opened her eyes, and her bright eyes like stars penetrated the house and fell on the hidden Chen Luo. The officials and sedan bearers who were escorting him scattered instantly, and quickly cleared a vacuum zone with the door of the restaurant where Chen Luo was standing as the center.

The civilians around seemed to have seen similar scenes before, and they left quickly one after another. Even the diners in the restaurant ran away.

It was discovered so quickly?

Chen Luo did not leave. He looked carefully at the woman in front of him.

He could feel the aura of the other person. Not a real person! Not only this woman, but all the people living here are not real people. They are figurative legends, appendages of the legend of the Red Fairy, just like the supporting roles in a novel.

"Outsider, this is not the place for you."

Fairy Hong sat on the sedan chair, looking down at Chen Luo from above.

"I'm looking for a cowardly turtle."

Chen Luo's gaze fell on the border of Red Fairy's sedan chair, and there he saw a familiar mark.

A tortoise shell carved out of spiritual power.

"You should have seen him."

Hearing Chen Luo's words, Hong Xiangu's expression changed.

She stood up slowly, the red skirt around the sedan chair was retracted little by little, and her long black hair was gathered to her waist. From a distance, she looked like a closed flower.

"What is your relationship with him?"

"I'm his eldest brother."

Hearing Chen Luo's answer, the Red Fairy relaxed her vigilance. It seemed that the flower-backed turtle had told her about his elder brother before. She stared at Chen Luo and looked him up and down, with a circle of water-like ripples appearing in her pupils. Chen Luo, who was standing opposite, immediately felt a trace of probing power. With Chen Luo's soul strength, this layer of power was shattered into powder by his "will power" before it even got close.

After confirming Chen Luo's strength, Red Fairy flew down from the sedan chair.

She waved her hand, and the officials and sedan bearers around her put away their weapons and retreated like the tide. In a few moments, they were the only two people left on the street.

"Sure enough, he has some strength. No wonder that stupid turtle dares to be so arrogant."

Red Fairy spoke.

Chen Luo's eyelids twitched. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, from the attitude of Red Fairy, he could tell that the Flower-backed Turtle had most likely done something in his name.

"Come with me, I promised that guy that I would do him a favor."

Without waiting for Chen Luo's response, Red Fairy turned and walked forward. Chen Luo spread his consciousness to observe for a while, and only followed after confirming that there was no danger.

Out of caution, Chen Luo shook his sleeves while walking. A cloud of gray insect particles flew out from his sleeves and began to search for possible dangers around him.

"arrive."

After crossing the street, the surrounding scene changed rapidly like an illusion. The originally prosperous city was only a hundred steps away from the edge. In the center of the dark mud, there stood a lonely temple.

It was black and red in color, with broken green tiles and a few strange black birds standing nearby.

These strange birds only have one leg, and they stand on the edge of the eaves with one claw, looking down at Hong Xiangu and Chen Luo below.

When he walked here, Chen Luo suddenly frowned.

'Evil breath!'

'Dead Temple, a collection of evil thoughts.'

Several thoughts instantly popped up in the external brain.

"Do you know where this place is?"

Hong Xian Gu stood at the entrance of the temple, with a trace of fear in her eyes. She did not walk to the bluestone ground in front of the temple, but just stood in the black mud and looked at the temple.

"The divided world of legend?"

Chen Luo was also looking at the temple.

When he saw the Red Fairy before, he thought that this woman was the source of this legendary world. Now it seems that this is not the case. To be precise, the Red Fairy is only a part of this legendary space, and the rest is the temple in front of him.

"The legendary world of the demon race is different from your human race. Under the blessing of the long-lived demon race, the entire legendary world is in chaos! You can't even imagine how many powerful demons there are in this legendary world."

When talking about the word "evil things", Hong Xian Gu's tone was obviously a little unnatural. Although they are all derivatives of legends, there are differences between legends.

A thought emerged in Chen Luo's mind.

"Legends have it that not only good people like me are derived from this, but also some evil creatures that don't even have the concept of good and evil. These ghost things are immortal and extremely difficult to kill." As if to confirm what Chen Luo was thinking, the Red Fairy in front raised her hand and waved, and a ball of red air flew out from her sleeves and hit the door in front.

Click, click, click.

There was the sound of a heavy stone door opening, and a grey breath rolled out from inside.

"I don't know whether your brother is ignorant or bold. He actually wants to dig a grave here." When talking about the flower-backed turtle, there was a hint of 'admiration' in Hong Xiangu's tone.

She had seen many stubborn monsters, but this was the first time she had seen such a stubborn one coming to the legendary world of the monster clan to dig graves.

Chen Luo was speechless for a while.

He finally understood why the flower-backed turtle's contact with him was intermittent, and why the flower-backed turtle said it had dug up something big.

If we start digging from the legendary world, can what we dig out be bad?

Three Divine Transformation cultivators dared to enter the legendary world of the demon race. Apart from Mang, Chen Luo really couldn't find any other words to praise him. However, the flower-backed turtle was not a fool. Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian were the heads of the family. They dared to make such a decision, and they must have found some important clues. Only when the benefits were great enough could the three of them be tempted at the same time and put aside the safety issues to take a risk.

The mist dispersed, covering the bluestone floor in front of the temple like a carpet.

Chen Luo looked inside through the gate.

The inside of the temple is not a house, nor an altar, but a wasteland. A door separates the inside and the outside, forming two completely different "legendary worlds". Outside is the legend of the Red Fairy, and inside is the legend of another ghost thing.

"I've brought you to the place. It's up to you whether you want to go in or not."

After Red Fairy finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.

She was originally a creature living in this legendary world, and she knew better than anyone how terrible the haunted place in front of her was. If she hadn't owed the flower-backed turtle a favor, she probably wouldn't even lead the way.

"The Legend of Demons"

Chen Luo stood at the door and raised his right hand.

One by one, the poisonous insects that looked like sand and dust flew back and landed in his palm. These black insects were the special species that Chen Luo had picked up in the secret room outside. Although they were not rare insects, they could survive in the legendary world.

Each black bug brought back a small pattern, and with the combination of countless bugs, a complete picture gradually took shape in my mind.

Desolate grave.

The space behind the temple gate is a cemetery.

In the dim light, there was a mass grave that stretched as far as the eye could see, with graves everywhere. Incomplete tombstones, broken coffins, and some uncollected corpses. The bright white will-o'-the-wisp was floating everywhere, and the areas farther away were not clear. The only area explored by the black bugs was the door.

“The entrance is correct.”

Chen Luo found an inconspicuous tortoise shell at the very front of the picture.

This piece of tortoise shell was left behind by a flower-backed turtle. He had picked up a piece outside before.

After making sure that he was not going in the wrong direction, Chen Luo squatted down.

The cuffs were unfurled, and pieces of pale yellow talisman paper flew out from them, standing on the bluestone floor in front of the temple, turning into origami figures. There were also some newly made pathfinder puppets shuttling among them, densely packed in a large area. Just like locusts, from the sky to the ground, there was no dead corner.

After practicing for a long time, the path-finding techniques became more and more sophisticated.

Both talismans and puppetry were effectively utilized in his hands. Chen Luo planned to wait until the four strange insects matured in the later stage, and then add them to the team of talisman paper figurines and pathfinder puppets, so that the pathfinder work would be more complete.

"Go in and take a look."

Chen Luo made a seal.

The brains of the talisman master and the puppeteer revived at the same time, and began to control the puppets and talisman paper figures that were sent out with clear division of labor.

"As afraid of death as that turtle! No wonder they can become sworn brothers."

Seeing this scene, Red Fairy, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but complain. She didn't really leave. After all, she was on the edge of her own legendary world, and she couldn't really ignore it. If there was a big mess, she would rush over to save the situation. Two years ago, she helped to clean up the mess that the three of Flower-backed Turtle caused after entering.

Crash.

The talisman paper men and puppet army passed through the gate and began a carpet search. The sky and the ground were filled with a large black mass, like a swarm of locusts. Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the evil creatures inside.

The withered corpse crawled out of the grave, the floating ghost fire turned into a bloodthirsty old woman, and even the stone tablet stood up and turned into a monster with bloody hands and feet.

Bang!

A puppet near the tombstone was smashed into pieces by the tombstone man. (End of this chapter)
