I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Bang bang bang!

Chen Luo suddenly woke up from his sleep. There was a sound coming from the wall near the closet. It was like someone was beating the wall with a blunt object. The sound was low, and it seemed like there were pieces of meat being hit by a hammer, but listen carefully. It's not like that either.

Someone is smashing the wall!

Doing renovations in the middle of the night? wrong! Tongzilou is an old community. If someone does renovations, they will definitely pile some materials on the first floor. The stairways will not be so clean, and there will be some cement dust left. The most critical thing is that the time is wrong. A large part of the residents in the old community are elderly. These old people sleep very lightly, and the slightest movement will wake them up. If someone does renovations in the middle of the night, these old people can trample the threshold of the property.

Chen Luo quickly got up and took out an iron rod from under the bed. This iron rod was prepared by him some time ago and was removed from an old lathe. In order to get this iron rod, he also asked Bai Xiaochuan.

Bang bang

The sound still didn't stop.

Chen Luo took the iron rod and slowly retreated to the door. His eyes were fixed on the wall, but he did not put his ears to the wall to listen. If the opponent's hammer broke through the wall and flew out, the act of listening to the wall was likely to be fatal.

He is just an ordinary person now and should not take risks.

The state of this inner demon calamity is very strange, and no one is sure whether dying here will affect the body. Therefore, the best way to face unknown dangers is not to rush forward, but to protect yourself first and then find a solution.

The behavior of smashing the wall lasted for more than ten minutes, and then gradually faded away.

Just when Chen Luo thought everything was over, a voice suddenly came through the wall.

"I can smell your scent already."

The voice is hoarse, low, and devoid of any emotion. Even through the wall, Chen Luo felt his heart palpitating. Although he couldn't see behind the wall, he could clearly feel a pair of eyes.

These eyes were exactly the same as the ones he had noticed when he entered the community before!

Inner demon?

Why doesn’t it feel like that!

"Who are you?"

Chen Luo tightened the iron rod in his hand and asked.

It has been more than a month since I came to this place, and so far I have not found any clues about my strength. If I want to break the evil tribulation of my heart, I must find the 'inner demon' and take the initiative to deal with the tribulation.

Overcoming the tribulation!

Only by overcoming the tribulation can we break the tribulation. If we don't overcome the tribulation, we will never get out. Taoist Rong Ling proved this in the past.

"wait for me."

The voice on the other side did not answer Chen Luo's question, but left a word and then disappeared quietly. Chen Luo waited for more than ten minutes, and only after he was sure that the other party had left, he relaxed. For safety reasons, he did not go back to the bedroom, but sat on the sofa in the middle of the living room.

This position is in the middle of the house, and there is room for buffering if the wall is broken anywhere.

Holding the iron rod, Chen Luo closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It wasn't until the sun shone in through the window that he finally felt relieved. Judging from the experience of the previous month, it is safe during the day.

When this happened, Chen Luo didn't want to go to school. He made up an excuse about having a cold and asked Bai Xiaochuan to ask for leave for him and then turned off his phone.

When he arrived at the neighbor's house next door, he took a look inside through the corridor window.

The house next door has two south-facing bedrooms, with the back facing the stairway. There is an old window next to the stairs, with window paper stuck inside the glass to block the outside view. This kind of structure is rare in new houses, but it is a very common type of house in old houses.

Chen Luo stood by the window and observed it, and found a gap at the edge that was not tight.

He lay on the glass and looked inside.

It was dark inside the house, with the curtains drawn in broad daylight, and only some outlines could be seen vaguely. Chen Luo has very good eyesight and sees the situation relatively clearly. Inside was a living room, and the room was filled with dust. The furniture and TV were covered with sheets and covered with dust, as if no one had lived there for a long time. Chen Luo looked at the wall specifically and found that the wall was intact, without any marks, and there was no possibility of being hit by a stone hammer.

This made Chen Luo frown slightly.

The wall close to his bedroom is the living room here. Judging from the sound last night, the wall here should be very seriously damaged. But the actual situation was completely different from what was heard. The house next door did not suffer any damage, which conflicted with the sound heard last night.

"strangeness."

After gathering his thoughts, Chen Luo picked up his bag and went downstairs.

The problem cannot be solved by imagination. The voice he heard yesterday is probably the 'tribulation' he will face. Before the disaster comes, he must master enough power.

Today he is going to the library. He has been here for more than a month and has a clear understanding of the basic situation. All that remains is to expand his horizons.

A lot of information that cannot be found online is recorded in the big library.

I went downstairs to have breakfast and then got on the bus to the Great Library. I missed the morning rush hour and the bus was very empty. When Chen Luo got in the car, there were only two people in the car. An old lady carrying a vegetable basket and a little girl with dyed blond hair. Both of them were busy with their own things and didn't even look at Chen Luo.

‘Dip, student card. ’

A familiar voice sounded, and Chen Luo found a seat at the back and sat down.

"Next stop, Qingyang Palace. Passengers boarding the bus, please go to the back."

The bus announced the stop. Chen Luo didn't pay attention either. All his attention was now on the sound he met last night.

From the time I met those eyes more than a month ago to the contact last night, there were nearly twenty-nine days in between. This blank period gave Chen Luo a clearer understanding of the world here. It was precisely because of this understanding that he became more confused.

Compared with the previous inner demon tribulations, this experience was more like a real world.

Although he kept emphasizing to himself the 'inner demon calamity', he would always forget it subconsciously. Especially in the past two days, he has begun to adapt to life here. The experience of cultivating immortality seems to be covered with a layer of white gauze and is gradually fading away. Occasionally, strange thoughts may arise in my heart, such as...

‘There has never been a world of immortality, nor has there been any cultivation using the brain. ’

'It was just a dream. ’

‘How could someone borrow someone else’s brain in the real world? ’

Similar thoughts kept appearing, shaking his mind. He leaned his head against the car window, closed his eyes and meditated, his brain was highly active, and strange questions kept popping up.

"You are in danger now."

A voice suddenly persisted in Chen Luo's ears. He woke up instantly, and his hands involuntarily grabbed the backpack beside him.

"Don't be nervous, if I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."

Only then did Chen Luo see clearly that the person he was talking to was the little girl in the car before, and even the old woman carrying a vegetable basket sat in front of him. The two men looked at him as curiously as they looked at a gorilla.

"Young man is very lucky, have you met a nightmare?"

The old woman also spoke. He looked at Chen Luo with a smile, the same look as a grandma looking at her grandson, full of love.

nightmare?

Chen Luo finally heard a different term, something he had not found on the Internet before. He looked at the two people and then at the bus driver in front of him without speaking. It seems that these two people have some special means to prevent the bus driver in front of them from seeing them.

"If you want to survive, go to Qingyang Palace. The Great Library can't save you."

The little girl took out a card and handed it to Chen Luo. It was the first time for the three of them to meet each other, and no one believed anyone. In this case, the best thing to do was to leave their contact information. When we have further contact, we will not be as vigilant as now, and at least we will have a preliminary understanding.

"What do you call it?"

After receiving the card, Chen Luo asked.

"He Min."

"Call me Granny Hu."

The old woman and the little girl both said their names. When hearing their names, Chen Luo glanced at them subconsciously.

He Min was the first fellow junior sister that Chen Luo met after entering the world of cultivating immortals.

Later, when he returned to Yue Kingdom, Chen Luo visited this old friend. It's a pity that time flies by and beauties grow old quickly, and He Min will be gone by the time he leaves again. Not to mention Granny Hu, she was the first alchemy monk Chen Luo met, and Hu Shan's experience also left a deep impression on him.

‘It is indeed a calamity of inner demons! ’

The mind that was a little shaken at first became firm again after hearing these two names.

"Qingyang Palace has arrived. Passengers getting off the bus please prepare in advance."

The bus pulls into the station.

Granny Hu and He Min got out of the car at the same time. Chen Luo did not go down with them. He leaned against the car window and glanced at Qingyang Palace Station outside.

Qingyang Palace is a landmark building in this city.

Many tourists from out of town come to Qingyang Palace Station to check in, resulting in an unusually large number of people here. Chen Luo only saw an outline. There were people everywhere outside the blue palace wall, and there was a long queue at the ticket office at the door. Beyond the palace wall, you can see some of the buildings inside. There is an ancient tower in the core area. The tower is seven stories high, with its tip sticking straight into the sky like a sharp sword. There are big green trees below, and their leaves cover the area below the third floor of the tower.

Chen Luo is planning to come here to take a look at his next stop, maybe he can find some opportunities to 'break the catastrophe'.

"Qingyang Palace."

Chen Luo glanced at the card He Min handed him, which had a row of words written on it.

‘Qingyang Palace Marriage Calculation, Contact Number 13X’

Putting the card away, Chen Luo continued to close his eyes and practice Qi refining. Cultivation is a matter of perseverance. With Chen Luo's state of mind, he will naturally not give up just because of a small setback.

Soon the bus arrived at the Great Library.

Chen Luo got out of the car and entered the library, and began to look for the books he wanted to read.

"Inner demons and dreams?"

Chen Luo flipped through books very quickly, finishing the history books in just half a day. When he turned to the ancient folklore book, he suddenly stopped. Looking at the brown book in my hand, which had a completely different texture from other books, a strange feeling came over me again.

嗗嗗

The sound of electricity passed by, and the lights in the library flickered.

The inner library, which was originally full of readers, was suddenly emptied out after a few flashes of lights and became completely empty.

Chen Luo was the only one left in the whole world.

"Got you."

The voice came from the side of the bookshelf. Chen Luo put the book down and looked sideways. A strange man shrouded in black robes walked out from the other side of the bookshelf. This man's whole body was filled with black air, and his face was distorted, like an evil ghost.

Bang!

Before he could speak again, Chen Luo suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his face with the five fingers of his right hand like an iron hoop. With his right hand, he grabbed the thickest dictionary next to him and, like swinging a chessboard, he smashed the opponent's Tianling Cap with its edges (end of chapter)
