Chapter 41: Top
One day later.
Chen Luo, who had just started working as a burial worker, was transferred to the area where the valley was located.
People die in that place every day now, and the county government is short of people to bury the bodies. Now that Chen Luo, an old man with a verified identity, has joined the team, they will naturally be used immediately.
"You came just in time. The bodies have been piling up here for a long time. If we don't deal with them, something bad will happen."
Seeing Chen Luo and others coming from outside the valley, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint greeted them without any doubt, and then took them to the corpse pile in the valley. They were the ones stationed here, and they would be the most dangerous if the corpses were not handled properly, so they were very active in this matter.
There were three newcomers coming with Chen Luo.
These newcomers were desperate and had not even learned the basic skills of a corpse burial. The county government arranged them to be Chen Luo's subordinates. He was now considered a senior official among the corpse burials in Qingya County, with the same position as the third uncle. From this point, it can be seen that there is a serious shortage of corpse burials in Qingya County. Not to mention experienced veterans, everyone who can make up the numbers has been pulled in.
Stepping into the valley again, Chen Luo clearly felt the changes in the valley.
The temperature in the valley is higher than before.
It was the coldest time of the year, but flowers were blooming in the valley, and butterflies were flying among the flowers. This incredible scene stunned the three novice gravediggers behind.
"Watch less, talk less, work more!"
The soldier walking in front gave instructions without even turning his head.
The three people who heard the sound immediately lowered their heads, followed Chen Luo, and walked towards the corpse pile obediently.
Chen Luo behaved in the same way as them. Just now when he passed the checkpoint, he clearly felt another powerful aura.
This aura is as powerful as that of the deceased Taoist Li Chen.
As expected of the imperial court, masters are like cabbages, one after another.
"We're here. You're responsible for dealing with this pile of shit." The soldier leading the way stopped.
The four of them were stunned.
The originally awkward valley was now almost filled with corpses, with at least 150 of them. All of them were martial arts masters, and the weakest one was at the inner energy realm.
Anyone who dares to pursue immortality must be confident in his or her own abilities.
It’s a pity that self-confidence could not save their lives, and now they are all lying here as corpses.
No one even knows his name.
'It's sent!'
Chen Luo's heartbeat quickened slightly.
With so many martial arts masters, he had enough to upgrade his existing "external brain". The useless brain that had kneeled down and called him "grandfather" in front of Taoist Li Chen was fired this time.
"Deal with it first. There may be new bodies delivered later. Just bear with me for the next few days. When you are done with this part, you will receive a reward from above."
After the soldier gave a brief instruction, he turned and left.
His job was to deploy defenses, and burying the bodies was not his responsibility.
"Boss, what should we do?"
After the soldiers left, the three newcomers stood aside, looking at Chen Luo eagerly, waiting for his orders.
“Dig a hole first.”
Chen Luo glanced at them and assigned them a simple task.
The three newcomers assigned to the task immediately took out their tools and started digging. Chen Luo also took this opportunity to touch each of the corpses one by one.
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 71%, do you want to read it?'
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 32%, do you want to read it?'
Messages kept flashing across the screen, and Chen Luo kept looking for brains with higher integrity and some brains with special abilities. After using the cheat code for such a long time, he had a better understanding of his abilities and could read some information by touch.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Luo stood up.
The external brains stored in his body were updated and replaced one after another. Except for the most critical ones, the remaining brains with no special features were discarded by him.
The quality of these martial artists who died in the valley was all very high. After replacing them, Chen Luo could clearly feel that his abilities had been upgraded.
We don’t know what the specific changes will be yet, but they will definitely be good ones.
The only pity is that there is still only one brain with the "qualifications for cultivating immortals", the royal brain. The other brains may be strong, but when it comes to cultivating immortals, their qualifications are as good as Chen Luo himself, and they are all waste.
This incident also allowed Chen Luo to understand a corner of the world of immortal cultivation.
This cultivation qualification alone is enough to stop 99% of the people in the world. Only the remaining 1% are qualified to contact that mysterious world.
And among this one percent, how many can wait and become immortals?
A large number of people will be eliminated in each realm, and the one who finally succeeds must be the chosen one, the kind of person who has tremendous luck in human form.
"Is there any important person in there?"
Retracting his thoughts, Chen Luo looked up at the location of the mine.
These soldiers blocked the mine with the mine as the center, which means that some important person must have gone in. Unfortunately, Chen Luo has never seen him so far, so he doesn't know if the person who went in is a real immortal cultivator. However, he just took a look and didn't have much curiosity. The real benefits had already been taken away by him, and only some scraps were left.
The day's mission was quickly over.
When it was dark, the soldiers who had brought them in sent them out again.
Now the imperial army is stationed here, and there are experts guarding secretly. They are not afraid of those ordinary people in the martial arts world at all, so these people did not make things difficult for them who were burying the bodies. After giving them the rewards, they let them go back to rest, and only reminded them to remember to report on time the next day.
For the next few days, Chen Luo reported to the valley on time.
Under his leadership, the three men who buried the bodies also gradually got into the business. They didn't dare to touch the troublesome bodies, and the bodies that died from simple knife wounds could be dealt with. With these three people sharing the burden, Chen Luo's presence was not so conspicuous.
After completing the goal of "borrowing brains", Chen Luo's attitude towards "burying the body" was not as serious as it was at the beginning. Apart from occasionally updating a few more valuable brains, he spent the rest of his time slacking off.
On the fifth day, he simply took a sick leave.
The report said 'poisoned'.
This excuse worked well. In the business of burying corpses, poisoning was a very common thing. If it wasn't handled properly, one's life would be lost. More than half of the burying corpses in the county government died of poisoning. So after learning that Chen Luo was "poisoned", the county government approved it without saying anything. Not only that, they also gave him a sum of "burial expenses".
This incident really scared Jiang Danian. Afterwards, he went out of his way to buy some tonic medicine and came to visit Chen Luo. He only left after making sure that Chen Luo was fine.
night.
Chen Luo sat cross-legged alone in the yard, holding the jade book that changed his destiny.
The luster of the jade book is not as bright as it was at the beginning. Looking closely, there are some small glass-like cracks inside. It should be that after being used for many days, some of the power inside has been consumed.
"The Black Tiger Fist is completely useless, the poisonous insect potion has no effect, and a qualified brain is still not found."
Chen Luo recalled everything he had done during this period.
In the end, everything points to one result.
His martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle.
