I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

Chapter 6 Rumors
  Barren mountains.

A mountainous area on the outskirts of Qingya County, connected to the mountains at the end. Ten miles of mountains stretch continuously, guarding Qingya County inside like a wall. The old pine forest exudes the stench of rotting leaves, and it is very soft when you step on it.

Above, the sunlight casts down along the pine needles, making it dappled and beautiful.

Almost no one comes to this place on weekdays. Apart from ginseng diggers and blind bears, there are only squirrels and poisonous snakes. Today, it was extremely lively here. Several groups of people came in and out, and there was a fight later. It has only calmed down now.

"It's all resolved?"

"Of course I won't survive if I take action."

The cold wind whimpered and the pine needles swayed.

Two voices sounded in the forest. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw two men wearing blue and red clothes standing in the forest, talking to the left and right. The man on the left is wearing a palace chamberlain hat, with white hair hanging down on both sides, and his narrow eyes giving people a cold and mean feeling. Another man's official uniform was stained with blood, his hair was disheveled and he was sitting cross-legged on the stone. There was a blood-stained sword between his legs. At this moment, he was slowly wiping the blood on the sword with a white cloth.

Not far away, corpses were lying everywhere, and the pungent blood filled the entire area, spreading with the mountain wind.

Some beasts smelled the smell and slowly gathered around.

"It's best this way, this matter is too important, if something unexpected happens"

The white-haired eunuch frowned slightly when he heard the movement.

"That's your business. I only charge money to kill people."

The man who finished wiping the sword stood up, sheathed the sword, turned around and walked towards the other side.

"Next time something like this happens, remember to come to me. The old rule is, one thousand taels per person! Just kill people, regardless of identity."

The beasts that were surrounding them in the distance subconsciously backed away after the man approached.

The instinct of beasts made them sense danger from this man.

"Don't ask about identity? Hey!"

It wasn't until the man's back completely disappeared that the white-haired eunuch chuckled, but he couldn't hide the disdain in his eyes.

In the distance, the beasts finally couldn't bear their hunger and began to approach slowly.

Whoosh!
  An arrow flew over and nailed the nearest beast to death on the spot.

After a while, a group of people gathered over, and the beasts outside who wanted to take advantage were killed by this group of people in the blink of an eye.

"Eunuch Wei!"

The leader knelt down on one knee and saluted the white-haired eunuch.

The others behind him also knelt down, and no one dared to raise their head and look directly at the eunuch's face.

"Clean up the scene, and keep your mouth shut!" The white-haired eunuch glanced at the three corpse buryers at the end and said in a cold voice.

"My subordinate understands!"

The leading captain responded immediately.

Then the group quickly dispersed and began to bury the dead bodies.

Chen Laosan among the crowd looked at the corpses on the ground with a trace of bitterness on his lips.

Big trouble!

The days go on.

The atmosphere in Qingya County became increasingly tense. In addition to the streets that were initially blocked, two more streets were blocked. The day before yesterday, Chen Luo heard some rumors on his way to practice martial arts. It was said that Mr. Bai, a wealthy family in the county, had colluded with the rebellious party to rebel, and the people above wanted to kill him.

Several families in the county were wiped out, and it was the hands of people from the imperial court.

No one knows whether the news is true or false, but the rumors have made people panic, and many people related to Mr. Bai have fled. In a small place like Qingya County, the tentacles of wealthy families extend to almost every aspect. In the entire Qingya County, there is no "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea" that Mr. Bai does not have his hands on. It can be said that the pig farmers in Qingya County buy it. The pig feed is all produced in Baifu. If Mr. Bai really wants to kill the nine tribes, the population of Qingya County will be cut in half.

Chen Luo just listened to these rumors. He and his third uncle were officials.

Although the body buryers are not very glamorous, the staff is from the government, and the money also comes from the government. Even if the Bai family is really punished by the Nine Clan, they cannot be punished by their uncle and nephew.

"Not back yet."

Chen Luo entered the room and took a look, and the worry in his eyes became heavier.

The third uncle disappeared completely after returning home last time. Yesterday, Chen Luo and Ma Zizi took a special trip to ask for leave and went to the yamen where the third uncle worked. As a result, the reply given there was that he was out on business and it would take a few more days. to come back. Chen Luo had encountered this kind of long-term mission before when he was helping his third uncle, but this time he felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Thinking of the rumors in the town, he felt more and more that this matter was not simple.

"It's still too weak."

Chen Luo clenched his fists and continued to practice in the yard. The strength-enhancing ointment on the stove nearby kept stinking out. After so many days, he had roughly figured out how to use this prescription.

Topical application!

It can also be used internally, but the amount should not be large, and it will cause diarrhea the next day.

These were the results of Chen Luo's darkest experiments with a bastard. When he thought of bastard's legs being weak when he came out of the toilet the next day, he gave up on taking them orally.

Fortunately, the effect of external application is also very good.

After practicing for a few days, Chen Luo clearly felt that his boxing skills were improving by leaps and bounds. Especially after taking the ointment, the heat flow increases at an alarmingly fast rate. There is also the practice of ‘using your brain to practice martial arts’ in your sleep at night, which will also bring about great improvement.

Although Chen Luo only practiced for more than half a month, with the help of external medicine and more than a hundred "old friends" in his mind, the time he spent in these half months added up to others is equivalent to several years.

Now he is getting stronger every moment. Until now, Chen Luo himself has no idea what level he has reached.

But Master Ma Laizi is definitely no longer his opponent.

Today, Chen Luo practiced boxing as usual. When he practiced for the tenth time, he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his Dantian. Energy travels throughout the limbs and bones, and all fatigue is swept away.

"Is this... practicing inner energy?"

Chen Luo was surprised at first, and then ecstatic.

Ignoring the changes brought about by the heat flow, he immediately stood in the yard, assumed a stance, and controlled the flow of heat in the body. Several of the more than a hundred 'brains' in his mind had corresponding memories, allowing him to quickly master the use of inner energy.

One lap, two laps.
  In his perception, all the muscles in his body trembled rapidly, and his strength increased exponentially. He didn't know if other people would have such big changes like him when they broke through. Now he only feels that his strength is several times stronger than before. The exact amount is not yet known.

"Continue! Be stronger!"

Suppressing his restless mood, Chen Luo continued to practice.

If you have some small achievements, go out and show them off to others. That's what children do. He has lived two lifetimes, and he can still suppress his xinxing.

So after the realm improvement was completed, Chen Luo continued to practice in the yard like anyone else.

When Chen Luo was practicing martial arts and accumulating.

Within the barren mountain range.

The weather is getting colder and drizzle is falling from the sky.

Chen Laosan and the other two buryers skillfully gathered the bodies in the forest and buried them.

This is already the thirteenth batch of corpses they have buried these days. The three of them were also kept here by people from the court and were not allowed to go home.

"Let's eat something."

After finishing their work, the three people sat in the mound. One of them took out a cloth bag and a few steamed buns to share.

On such a cold day, the steamed buns are already hard.

It's just that they are all low-status corpse buryers, and no one cares about their life and death. It's good to eat some.

"It's the fourth day."

The corpse buryer on the left took a bite of the cold steamed buns and suddenly said something.

"I know one of the people who died today." The buryer's name was Luo Cheng, a famous buryer in Qingya County. Like Chen Laosan, they are both veterans with more than ten years of experience, and the same is true for the other one. The three of them are considered the backbone of the corpse buryers in Qingya County, and there are no problems with the corpses they handle.

"Second Master Bai."

The other silent man took a bite of the steamed bun and said in a deep voice, his name was Wang Laoshuan, and he was older than Chen Laosan. He is the one who has been buried for the longest time among the three people.

The three of them are all veterans, so they naturally know what Mr. Bai represents.

The leader of the Bai family was also the local bully of Qingya County, a big shot they needed to look up to in the past. Now he is lying in a pile of people like a dead dog, without even a coffin. Big figures like Mr. Bai suffered this fate, so what are the identities of the remaining people?
  Chen Laosan said nothing and ate the steamed buns silently. He also made some discoveries, but it was meaningless to talk about them.

The three of them may have to stay here.

The three old corpse buryers knew this well.

The father-in-law who issued the mission had no intention of leaving him alive.

Rebellious party?

Rebels?

It's hard to say who is loyal and who is traitorous. The three of them have seen too much.
