Chapter 41: Reaching the Top

after one day.

Chen Luo, who had just joined the job as a corpse buryer, was transferred away, and the direction he went to was the area where the valley was located.

People are dying in that place every day, and there are not enough burying people in the county government. With Chen Luo, an old man whose identity has been verified, joining, naturally they will be used immediately.

"It's just the right time. The corpses here have been stored for a long time. If they are not dealt with, something will happen."

Seeing Chen Luo and others coming from outside the valley, the soldiers guarding the bayonet greeted them without any suspicion, and then took them to the pile of corpses in the valley. They are the people stationed here, and they are the most dangerous ones if the corpses are not disposed of properly, so they are very active in this matter.

There were three newcomers coming with Chen Luo.

These newcomers were all desperate and had not even learned the basic skills of a corpse buryer. The county government also arranged for these people to be Chen Luo's subordinates. He is now considered a Shangguan among the corpse buryers in Qingya County, and his position is the same as that of his third uncle. It can also be seen from this point that there is a serious shortage of corpse buryers in Qingya County now. Not to mention experienced veterans, they have attracted all the people who can make up the number.

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 month of winter, but flowers were blooming in the valley, and there were butterflies flying among the flowers. Such an incredible scene stunned the three novice buryers behind.

“Look less, talk less, work more!”

The soldier walking in front gave a warning without looking back.

The three people who heard the sound immediately lowered their heads, followed Chen Luo, and walked obediently to the place where the corpses were piled.

Chen Luo behaved just like them. When he passed the bayonet just now, he clearly felt another powerful aura.

This aura is as powerful as the dead old Taoist Li Chen.

As expected of the imperial court, the masters are like cabbage, one after another.

"We're here, it's up to you to deal with the pile here." The soldier leading the way stopped.

The four of them were dumbfounded.

What was once an awkward place in the valley is now almost filled with corpses. There are at least more than 150 bodies inside. All of these people are martial arts masters, and the weakest ones also have inner energy.

Those who dare to pursue immortal fate must be confident in their own strength.

It's a pity that self-confidence can't save their lives, and now they are all turned into corpses lying here.

No one even knows the name.

‘Sent! ’

Chen Luo's heartbeat accelerated a little.

There are so many martial arts masters, enough for him to update the existing "external brain". The useless brain who wanted to kneel down and 'call grandpa' when faced with the old Taoist Li Chen, was fired by him this time.

"Let's take care of it first. New corpses may be sent later. I've been tired for the past few days. When this period of work is completed, there will be a reward from above.

After the soldier gave a brief explanation, he turned and left.

His job was to set up defenses, not to bury the corpses.

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

After the soldiers left, the three newcomers stood on the edge, looking at Chen Luo eagerly, waiting for his orders.

"Dig a hole first."

Chen Luo glanced at them and arranged a simple task for them.

The three newcomers assigned to the task immediately took off their tools and started digging. Chen Luo also took advantage of this time to touch the corpses one by one.

‘Contact with the brain waves of a dead person, the damage degree is 71%, do you want to read it? ’

‘Contact with the brain waves of a dead person, the damage degree is 32%, do you want to read it? ’

Messages kept flooding the screen. In the process, Chen Luo kept looking for brains with relatively high integrity and some brains with special abilities. After using Golden Finger for such a long time, he has a better understanding of his own abilities and can read some information by touching it.

After more than ten minutes, Chen Luo straightened up.

The external brains stored in the body have been updated and replaced. Except for the most critical ones, he has abandoned the remaining brains that have no characteristics.

The Jianghu people who died in the valley were all of high quality. After replacing them, Chen Luo could clearly feel that his abilities had been upgraded.

The specific changes are not yet known, but they are definitely good.

The only pity is that there is still only one brain with the 'qualification to cultivate immortality', the royal brain. The other brains are stronger, but in terms of cultivating immortality, the qualifications are the same as Chen Luo himself, they are useless.

Through this incident, Chen Luo also learned about a corner of the world of immortality.

This cultivation qualification alone is enough to stop 99% of the people in the world. Only the remaining one percent are qualified to contact that mysterious world.

And among these one percent, how many people can wait to become immortals?

In each realm, a large number of people will be eliminated, and the person who succeeds in the end must be the chosen one, the kind of person who is destined to be human by countless fortunes.

"Is there any big shot in there?"

After withdrawing his thoughts, Chen Luo raised his head and glanced at the location of the mine.

These soldiers blocked the mine with the center of the circle, which meant that someone important must have entered. It's a pity that Chen Luo has never seen him before, so he just doesn't know if the person who goes in is a real immortal cultivator. But he just took a look and didn't have much curiosity. The real benefits had been taken away by him long ago, and all that was left behind were some scraps.

The day's mission was over quickly.

At nightfall, the soldier who brought them in sent them out again.

Now the imperial army was stationed here, and there were masters guarding secretly. They were not afraid of those ordinary Jianghu people at all, so these people did not make things difficult for the burialists. After issuing the reward, they let them go back to rest, but 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 burialists gradually got into the business. They did not dare to move the more troublesome corpses, and the corpses that died from simple knife wounds could be handled. With these three people sharing the burden, Chen Luo's presence was not so conspicuous.

After the goal of "borrowing brains" was completed, Chen Luo's attitude towards "burying corpses" was not as serious as it was at the beginning. In addition to occasionally updating a few more valuable brains, the rest of the time was spent slacking off.

On the fifth day, he simply took a sick leave.

The report said "poisoned".

This excuse is very useful. In the business of burial, poisoning is a very common thing. If it is not handled properly, one will lose his life. More than half of the people buried in the county government died of poisoning. So after learning that Chen Luo was "poisoned", the county government approved it without saying a word. Not only that, but also gave him a "burial fee".

This incident scared Jiang Danian a lot. Afterwards, he bought some tonics and came to visit Chen Luo. He left only after confirming that he was fine.

Night.

Chen Luo sat cross-legged alone in the yard, holding the jade book that changed his fate.

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 in it. It should be that it has been used for many days, and part of the power inside has been consumed.

"The black tiger fist is completely useless, the poisonous insect potion has no effect, and the qualified brain has not been found yet."

Chen Luo recalled everything he had done during this period.

In the end, all pointed to one result.

His martial arts practice reached the top.
