Bustling river and noisy crowd.
The river water beats against the rocks on the shore. The red flower boats on the river are hung with lanterns. Porters are constantly carrying goods on the merchant ships on the shore. The hot steam rises to the sky, creating a prosperous scene.
Bang! !
A black wooden box hit the stone platform beside it with a dull sound. The two boatmen who couldn't hold on crashed into the stone platform beside it, breaking the packaging of the wooden box and revealing the goods inside.
A pitch-black coffin.
"Be careful! This is the coffin that Master Chen ordered."
The ship owner, who was handling cargo loading and unloading, ran over immediately when he saw this scene, his face full of anxiety. The owner of this coffin is not an ordinary guest, but Mr. Chen who has just moved to Xiachuan County. The origins of this Mr. Chen were mysterious. As soon as he moved here, he became the most famous master in Xiachuan County. Rich families in the city vied to visit him. Some people rumored that this Mr. Chen had connections in Beijing and had connections everywhere.
However, these are all legends among the people, and ordinary people are not clear about it. They only know that Mr. Chen is a big shot who cannot be offended, and the county magistrate of Xiachuan County is like a dog in front of him.
"Old Xu, this coffin is too heavy. You have to pay us more after we finish carrying it."
The remaining two men also put the other side down and sat on the edge, breathing heavily. These brothers are all well-known figures on the docks, and are skilled in martial arts. All profitable business of everyone at this dock must go through their hands first.
Shopkeeper Xu had also heard of their reputations, and that was why he gave such an important business to the four of them.
"Deliver the goods first! Once the goods are delivered, everything else will be easy."
Mr. Xu suddenly felt a headache.
If this business wasn't so important, he wouldn't want to deal with these four people at all. These four guys charge the highest price at the dock, but they also do the best job.
With Boss Xu's words, the four Hunjianglong brothers stood up again.
With a shout, he set up the coffin again and walked towards Chen's house at the end of the street. The largest house on North Street is Mr. Chen’s home. On the day of moving in, the county magistrate personally visited him, which was a great honor to him.
"What on earth is in this coffin? Why is it so heavy?!"
After walking for a while, the four Hunjianglong brothers began to sweat again on their foreheads and their steps became much weaker. The second brother couldn't help but mutter.
"Who knows, maybe it's all gold."
"It could also be a weapon."
"Maybe it's a secret treasure of the immortal family."
Others were also very curious, but the four brothers Hunjianglong were the most trustworthy and never asked about their clients. As long as the money is paid, everything can be negotiated. Now it's just talk.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The four brothers finally carried the coffin to the back door of Chen's house.
"Slow down, slow down."
The heavy box was placed on the ground, causing cracks on the bluestone slabs. In other words, the four Hunjianglong brothers were highly skilled in martial arts. Even if ordinary porters came, they would not be able to move this big box. The ship owner nearby carefully checked the cargo. Except for a corner of the wooden box that was broken when it was unloaded from the ship, everything else was intact.
The ship owner finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure the cargo was intact. He took two quick steps and knocked gently three times at the back door of Chen's house.
Squeak.
Soon, the wooden door was opened.
A young man in a short shirt walked out from inside. He ignored the boat owner and the four brothers of Hunjianglong beside him, and walked to the side of the coffin and examined it carefully.
"There will definitely be nothing wrong with the stuff. The person who handed it over was designated by Master Chen. I ate and slept next to the coffin all the way. No one except me has touched it."
Seeing the young man checking the coffin, the ship owner suddenly became nervous.
He only carried this one coffin on this trip, and could be said to have put all his business on it. If the other party refuses to accept it, he will lose all his money on this trip.
The four Hunjianglong brothers were also full of curiosity, not only about the goods, but also about the people of the Chen family.
Mr. Chen, who has become famous, rarely goes out on weekdays. Most people outside have only heard of his name, and only a few people in Xiachuan County have actually seen him.
"The stuff is fine."
The young man nodded. The boat owner next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face again. If he succeeds in this business, the financial crisis he encountered before can be resolved. If he is lucky, he can also save some capital for his descendants so that they don't have to do such a dangerous business like him.
After counting the bills, the ship owner's voice became somewhat flattering.
Three thousand taels!
It was more money than he expected.
"Shall I ask them to help you carry it in?"
"Need not."
The young man waved his hand, walked to the side of the coffin, raised his hand to split the wooden box outside, and then placed one hand on the coffin. The four Hunjianglong brothers all showed an expression of watching a joke. The weight of this coffin was something they had experienced personally. The man in front of them was so arrogant that he would definitely suffer a loss.
There was a slight sound, and the young man was seen grabbing the side wall of the coffin with one hand, with his legs bent, and then he shouted loudly.
This coffin, which required the joint efforts of the four Hunjianglong brothers, was lifted up by him and carried on his shoulder. An invisible force emanated from him, and the scorching breath made the people nearby look shocked, especially the ship owner, whose gaze towards the young man changed and there was an extra hint of fear.
This is no longer a power that ordinary people can master.
After the young man carrying the coffin got used to the weight, he turned around and entered the inner courtyard. After entering the door, he did not forget to free up one hand to close the door.
"He lifted the coffin all by himself?"
Hunjianglong Lao Si swallowed and asked hesitantly.
"Let's go! Stop asking about the Chen family's affairs in the future."
After all, the boss of Hunjianglong has seen the world and knows some rumors outside. When he was traveling outside, he had heard many rumors about gods and immortals, and knew that there were some hidden masters outside their land. These people can move mountains and seas, catch stars and the moon, and are very scary.
The people of the Chen family are most likely this kind of people.
The merchant ship owner next to them did the same, and left the alley in the backyard of the Chen family with the four brothers of Hunjianglong.
In the hospital.
The young man walked through the hall and courtyard and came to the innermost courtyard, where he put down the coffin on his shoulders. On the other side of the yard, there were hundreds of similar coffins piled up, and the materials of these coffins were exactly the same as the one on the young man's shoulder.
"Teacher, the goods have arrived."
"Put it over there."
The wooden door opened and Chen Luo walked out.
Seeing this, the young man outside the yard immediately bowed and saluted. This young man was none other than Shen Lin, who was brought here by Chen Luo before. This person was just as he expected, with a special soul. He immediately showed extraordinary talents after entering the Tao. The effect of the Ancient God Sect's introductory exercises on him was better than that of others who had practiced for dozens or even hundreds of years.
“Have you encountered any problems in your practice?”
Chen Luo sat down on the wooden steps at the door and began to ask about Shen Lin's practice.
It has been three years since I came to the Ancient God Sect.
After killing the pursuers behind them, Chen Luo brought the three of them to this small county town. He then used his magical powers to modify the perceptions of the local county magistrate and powerful families, and created the identity of 'Master Chen' who retired from the capital and returned to his hometown. With Chen Luo's current level, it would be easy to modify the memories of a few ordinary people. Whether it is the Heart Demon Sutra or the Origin Seal, it can be done.
"No."
Shen Lin responded respectfully.
He is no longer the ignorant boy he was three years ago. During the past three years, he followed Chen Luo in practicing, and gradually gained an understanding of the cultivation of immortals. Not long ago, he also successfully entered the Tao and became a physical cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.
Unlike the previous two disciples, Chen Lin could only understand the techniques of physical cultivation. Moreover, his qualifications are very special. He is not as outstanding as the eldest disciple Mu Xiaoyu, nor does he rely on his bloodline like the second disciple Ao Ye. Compared with the previous two disciples, Chen Lin is like a block of wood, and his cultivation speed is very slow.
It took him three years just to enter the Tao.
This speed of cultivation is even more exaggerated than that of many low-grade five spiritual roots, and is almost equivalent to seven-attribute mixed spiritual roots. But Chen Luo still led him onto the path.
As an alchemist, Chen Luo has the confidence.
"That's good. The road to immortality is long. I can only lead you to the path. How far you can go in the future depends on you."
After retracting his spiritual sense and making sure that there was no problem with Chen Lin's practice, Chen Luo didn't say anything else.
"Go down."
"Disciple, I'm leaving."
Shen Lin quickly stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.
After Chen Lin left, Chen Luo turned his attention to the coffin in the yard. The invisible force spread out, and the lid of the coffin in the yard opened immediately. An invisible force grabbed the bones in the coffin into its hands. He pressed his left hand on the skull of the corpse, and a familiar wave instantly emerged.
'Sensing brain waves of a dead person, damage level 99%, do you want to read it? '
absorb!
Gray gas poured in, and the number of external brains officially reached nine hundred.
Chen Luo has not yet reached the upper limit of the Spirit Transformation Realm. At his current level, there are too few brains that are worthy of his attention. He got these brains outside by using the divination ability of the flower-backed tortoise. After three years of non-stop tomb robbing, he only got about a hundred of them. This was the result after he lowered the standard. If he had followed the previous requirements, he would have collected at most ten in three years.
After closing his eyes to digest the matter for a moment, Chen Luo put the body back into the coffin. With a gust of spiritual wind, the coffin that had just been carried in was immediately stacked neatly on the side like the previous coffin. If you look closely, you will find that the bottom of these coffins are carved with black patterns.
That is the evil-raising formation.
In the past three years, apart from increasing the number of external brains, Chen Luo spent the rest of his time refining the soul flag. The demon soul snatched from the Star Gate was put into the soul flag by him, and under the control of Ouyang Lian's brain, he began the spiritual weapon improvement plan.
In three years, the aura of the Soul Banner has become stronger and stronger, and its grade has officially transformed from a magic weapon to a spiritual weapon.
"The soul has almost been restored."
A blue light flashed across Chen Luo's body. The semi-transparent soul walked out of the body. The soul that was originally full of cracks has now become flawless, and the gap in the soul between the eyebrows is only the size of a sesame seed.
The reason why Chen Lin's cultivation progress was so slow in the past three years, apart from his own limitations, was mainly because his master Chen Luo was constantly drawing strength from him. (End of this chapter)
