Chapter 38 Harvest

Three days later.

A remote small village, a low and old mud house.

The village is not far from Qingya County. When Chen Luo found Old Man Tian that day, he asked him to take him here. After receiving the money, Old Man Tian kept his promise and dragged him out of the mountain after a day and a half.

After staying in the small village for two days and confirming that Chen Luo was not in danger, the four set off for home.

Tian Daniu's job was gone this time, and he didn't know if his boss was still alive. He had to go back to find another way to make a living. The brothers Fangcun and Fangshan were the same, they had to support their families. Old Man Tian was also ready to go back. He had been out for several days longer than expected, and he was afraid that his wife would worry.

After a few words of persuasion, Chen Laosan got up and saw them out of the village.

"Thank you, everyone!"

Chen Laosan bowed solemnly to the four people.

"What are you polite about? We are just doing things for money."

Old Man Tian grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

The old man looked sloppy, but he was very trustworthy. This time, he helped Chen Luo a lot.

"Business is business, and favors are favors."

As he spoke, Chen Laosan took out four purses that he had prepared long ago and gave them to the four people. The amount of money was not large, but it was definitely enough for Tian Laohan and the other four.

If you can repay a favor with money, repay it with money.

Chen Laosan is not short of this little money now. With the black money that Chen Luo robbed, he is very generous.

After another round of politeness, the two sides said goodbye.

"How do you feel?"

After returning to the village, Chen Laosan pushed open the door. Looking at Chen Luo sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, he asked.

Chen Luo woke up in the morning. It was because he saw him wake up that Tian Laohan and others left. One is to confirm Chen Luo's safety, and the other is to see if Chen Laosan is his relative to avoid sending him to the wrong place.

This is also the principle of life for Old Man Tian. You can be greedy for small gains, but you must never do anything against your conscience.

"Much better. Have you sent everyone away?"

Chen Luo did not tell his uncle in detail. His experience this time was a bit mysterious, and it would be bad to talk too much. If he met a martial arts master who could search souls, it might bring unnecessary danger to his uncle.

"They left. They gave five hundred taels. Each of the three young men got one hundred taels, and the old man gave an extra one hundred taels."

Chen Laosan pulled up a small stool and sat down next to him. He knocked the pipe in his hand on the wall twice, leaving a pool of black marks.

His hobbies are so vulgar.

He looks for widows in the alleys and smokes opium at the door of his house.

He used to bury corpses to make money when he had no money. Now that Chen Luo gave him a large stack of silver notes, he no longer does the job of burying corpses. Anyway, Qingya County doesn't know about him anymore, so it's just right for him to withdraw and become a leisurely master.

"The favor is paid back."

"That's good."

Chen Luo nodded. Chen Laosan had told him about the money.

"I shouldn't have taken you to practice martial arts." Chen Laosan took a puff from his pipe and said something after a while.

This time, Chen Luo was dragged back by a bullock cart, which almost scared him to death.

He had buried the bodies of Jianghu people for most of his life and had seen too many dead people. Most of these people were masters who had practiced martial arts. Compared with them, Chen Luo was still too young.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

But even so, Chen Laosan didn't dare to bring him back to the village.

He was afraid that the old people in the village would worry.

Chen Luo's parents were old, and there was a little girl at home. It was better to have less trouble than more.

"No, I am very grateful to my uncle for changing my fate."

Chen Luo shook his head and disagreed with Chen Laosan's concept.

For him, practicing martial arts was a very important starting point. Ma Quezi's guidance saved him a lot of detours. Otherwise, even if he could "borrow a brain" to practice, he would have to waste a lot of time before he could embark on the real path of practice.

If he missed that node, the subsequent crisis in Qingya County might not be overcome, let alone the opportunity to cultivate immortals.

"Have a good rest, call me if you need anything."

After smoking a cigarette, Chen Laosan got up and went out.

Chen Luo was still in the recovery stage, and the doctor wanted him to sleep more, so he didn't bother him too much.

Looking at the back of his uncle leaving, Chen Luo on the bed slowly closed his eyes.

This experience was very dangerous, and he almost never came back. The light blue energy that killed Li Chen Laodao has been staying in his body, neither dissipating nor integrating.

Under the influence of this power, his consciousness and body have always felt out of harmony. He tried to mobilize this energy, but without the power bonus of the blue gem, neither the jade book nor the energy in his body paid attention to him.

But fortunately, the injuries of his physical body have basically recovered.

The recovery ability of a warrior in the Bone Forging Realm is indeed strong. If an ordinary person suffered such a serious injury, he would have to lie in bed for at least half a year before he could get out of bed.

"The body's assimilation rate is very slow, and this power can only be absorbed by the royal brain. Even if I use the royal brain to practice every day, I can only digest a little bit, and I can't bear more."

Chen Luo summarized the results of practicing with the royal brain in the past two days.

What he called mobilization was just repeating the process when the Jade Book exploded, and he still used the internal energy of the Black Tiger Fist.

This method has a very low conversion rate and is very laborious to mobilize.

It feels like pulling a cart with human power.

It is not compatible.

But he had no choice at the moment, so he could only make do with it. Fortunately, the energy level of the blue energy was very high. Even if it was just a little bit, Chen Luo's strength had changed dramatically. At least ordinary masters were no longer an enemy that he could not contend with.

"I just don't know what the 'Xianwen' represents."

Chen Luo recalled the words of the old Taoist Li Chen before he died.

The old Taoist must know something, but it's a pity that he is dead. But even if he was alive, the old Taoist would definitely not tell him, most likely he still wanted to kill him and take the benefits for himself.

He reached out and touched the jade slip on his chest. The thing was still in his arms. It looked ordinary on weekdays. Only when Chen Luo called for the light blue energy would it give a little warmth. Apart from that, there was no abnormality.

After putting the jade slip away again, Chen Luo closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The external brains began to appear one by one, and began to try to digest the light blue energy in their own way. All night, more than a hundred brains were tried, and the results were the same as before. Only the royal brain succeeded.

In this way, time passed in a flash and another half a month passed.

Half a month later, Chen Luo was finally able to go out, and the injuries on the surface of his body had almost recovered.

The sense of disharmony still existed, but it no longer affected his actions.

After saying goodbye to his uncle, he went out.

On the first day of going out, Chen Luo went directly to the county to have a good meal, with fish and meat, and whatever he had. These days, lying in bed, listening to the doctor's advice and eating some light tea and rice every day, his mouth was almost dry.

After eating a meal until noon, Chen Luo got up and left.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Luo first went to the county government office.

The Qingya County government office, which had experienced disasters, has now changed its owner, and the garrison military officer has also changed. The original Zhu Duwei didn't know where he was transferred to, and the newcomers were all unfamiliar faces.

"The battle is still going on in Luoxia Valley. I heard that a gold mine was discovered."

"There are not enough people to bury the bodies. I don't know if there will be any changes in the future."

The voices of several yamen runners chatting came into his ears.

Chen Luo looked back and turned to another street.

He did not rush into the county government office. After the last incident, the county government office must be full of masters. Calculating the time, King Ning's people should have arrived. Sneaking into the county government office at this time is no different from delivering goods to the door.
