I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Chapter 222 The so-called calamity

People were coming and going on the street. Chen Luo was squatting in the market with three big fish in front of him. It has been half a year since he entered the inner demon tribulation. During this time, Chen Luo thought of many ways. But he still couldn't find the whereabouts of Elder Rong Ling. This 'Heavenly Tribulation' was more difficult than he expected, and it turned out that the problem was not solved by force.

He felt like he was almost becoming a real fisherman.

After selling the fish, Chen Luo packed up the copper coins he earned today and put them into the purse in his waist. He rolled up the fish bag on the ground and walked towards his home. After walking a few steps, Chen Luo saw an old man making dough.

The exquisite little-faced figures cost two cents each. For some reason, Chen Luo thought of the woman at home and the two-cent wooden hairpin. Even though he knew that this was the world of inner demon calamity and that it was all fake, he still couldn't help but think about and forget some things.

Even if he is a 'Heavenly Tribulation', let alone Elder Rongling, it is estimated that the person who has overcome the tribulation has even forgotten who he is.

Stopping and walking to the stall, Chen Luo and his old man bought a noodle dish. The old man's skills were very good, and the face he made was very delicate, with a lifelike expression, and even the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaoyun, look what I bought you back?"

Opening the door, a smile appeared on Chen Luo's face. After half a year of living, it was already difficult for him to regard this woman as an illusory derivative of heavenly calamity.

"Second brother is back?"

A familiar voice came, but the difference was that this time there were two more people in the yard. His eldest brother Zhang Dalin and nephew Zhang Ronling. The moment he saw his 'nephew', Chen Luo finally found his target. Unexpectedly, the elder Rongring he had been searching for for half a year turned out to be his nephew.

He had heard women mention this nephew many times. The hope of the old Zhang family was to only read the books of sages and never leave the house.

Today's Elder Rong Ling doesn't look like the old demon who has perfected the Foundation Establishment outside. He was wearing a green shirt, his hair was neatly combed, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was a trace of the arrogance of a scholar between his brows.

"Rong Ling, meet your second uncle soon."

The eldest brother Zhang Dalin also saw Chen Luo entering the door, and immediately called his son to stand up and salute. This time he came to ask for help, so he must have a good attitude.

"I've met my second uncle."

Zhang Ronling bowed respectfully to Chen Luo.

Looking at the childish Zhang Ronling in front of him, it was difficult for Chen Luo to connect him with the scheming elder Ronngling.

What is his obsession?

Chen Luo really wanted to see what Zhang Ronling's obsession was, how his inner demons would work, and how he would go through the tribulations.

"I came here for one thing."

Zhang Dalin looked at his brother and knew that his life was not easy, but he still had to speak out when there were things he needed to say. For the sake of his son's lifelong future, how much was his old face worth?

"Autumn is coming soon. Rongring was selected by the master of the school last year and has achieved fame. This year he wants to go to the prefecture to take the exam."

Chen Luo was listening, but most of his attention was on Zhang Ronling. Unlike him, Elder Rong Ling, as a person who has overcome the tribulation, has all his memories blocked by the tribulation. For him now, this is real life. His father is Zhang Dalin, and his second uncle is Zhang Erlin, both from Beiyu County. A fisherman whose family has been poor for generations.

Reading is not cheap these days. Each type of pen, ink, paper and inkstone requires a lot of money. In order to study for him these years, Zhang Dalin had already accumulated a lot of debt and owed a lot of debt. This time, in order to go to Fucheng to take the exam, Zhang Dalin sold the only cow in his family. The money he collected was only enough for simple expenses. The expenses on the road and the exam were not yet settled. The father and son spent a long time at home, and finally they could only ask Chen Luo again.

"We are still short of ten taels of silver, so I want to borrow some from you first. When Rong Ling becomes successful in the future, I can repay you, my second uncle."

Zhang Dalin finished speaking, and then looked at Chen Luo.

He really had no choice.

As the eldest brother, he had a much better life than his brother Zhang Erlin. But since Zhang Ronling started studying, the family's living standards have plummeted, and the family cannot make ends meet. Zhang Ronling's mother had no money to take care of her when she fell ill a few years ago. In the end, she died. The father and son are now relying entirely on one breath. Without this breath, they would have collapsed long ago.

"Do you really want to take the science test?"

Chen Luo asked. As he talked with Zhang Ronling, he could clearly feel that the power of heavenly tribulation in his body was much more active. As an 'inner demon', he drew a lot of power from Zhang Ronling.

As long as Zhang Ronling fails to overcome the tribulation, his entire cultivation will turn into running water, become part of the ‘Heavenly Tribulation’, and be absorbed by the inner demons.

"I beg my second uncle to fulfill my wish. Rong Ling will never forget his kindness in the future."

"good!"

Chen Luo nodded in agreement. When the woman next to him heard this, her expression darkened, but she still forced a smile on her face and returned to the room to take out her family's savings. A total of eight taels of money, which is what the couple saved over the years.

Although it is still a little short of the ten taels of silver Zhang Dalin mentioned, it is barely enough.

After the Zhang family borrowed the money, they quickly went back to prepare things for the exam. Chen Luo stood at the door, looking at the direction in which Zhang Ronling disappeared. He vaguely saw the calamity energy that was constantly escaping between heaven and earth. He finally found the direction to overcome the calamity.

It's just that he has to think carefully about whether to help others escape or lead them into disaster.

The Inner Demon Technique also needs to be studied well. The mystery of this technique is beyond expectations. No wonder it is attracted by the mummy brain.

"Second brother."

"It's okay, I have everything."

Looking back at the woman behind him, Chen Luo smiled and replied.

Three months flew by.

This process seemed to be accelerated. Chen Luo seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here and repeated the same life every day, fishing and selling fish. Until one day, Zhang Ronling, dressed in a green shirt, came to the Zhang family. Zhang Ronling is now very different from a few months ago. After taking the provincial examination, he went to high school again. Now he is a master of public education and has become a member of the gentry class.

"Second uncle, I am going to Beijing to prepare for the scientific examination in a few years. After entering Beijing, the environment will not be as good as in the countryside. There are some things that my family has to do before I can rest assured. I hope that my second uncle can help me."

Zhang Ronling said sincerely.

His father is old. He suffered a serious illness a few days ago and is now unable to travel far. Zhang Ronling searched around and found that he only had 'Second Uncle' as a trusted relative.

He still came to the door as before. Faced with his request, 'Second Uncle' still only asked one question.

"Do you really want me to come to Beijing with you?"

"Please help me, uncle."

Zhang Ronling nodded in affirmation again.

"good."

Chen Luo looked at the aura coming out of Zhang Ronling's body, and became more and more aware of the power of the Heart Demon Tribulation. He could feel that the Heart Demon Jue he practiced was stronger. It no longer only existed in theory as before, but used inherent The formula to use.

This year, the uncle and nephew came to Beijing.

The woman stayed in the country and sent them to the outskirts of the city.

half year later.

With the help of Chen Luo, his second uncle, Zhang Ronling quickly established a foothold in the capital, and then prepared for the exam wholeheartedly. At this time, Chen Luo was following him like a shadow, observing everything about him.

The woman also came to the capital in the past six months. She was as diligent and frugal as before, and she was reluctant to eat or drink. Compared with the capital, the woman seemed like a country person who was out of place. She is not used to the life here, but for her husband, she still comes.

Chen Luo saw Zhang Ronling's 'catastrophe'.

‘Prosperity and wealth. ’

He didn't expect that this great cultivator with perfect foundation building would have this desire. As an immortal cultivator, Zhang Ronling's "prosperity and wealth" must be different from that of ordinary people. What he needs is the same status, the same resources and power as the Blackstone Patriarch. Driven by this desire and ambition, he took that step. In the inner demon tribulation, this 'tribulation' turns into seeing through wealth. If Zhang Ronling can finally see through wealth and let go of vain fame and fortune, then he can break through the tribulation and become a pill-forming monk. If he fails to overcome the tribulation, he will sink into the inner demon tribulation, be burned into black ashes by the heavenly tribulation, and the path of life and death will disappear!

Every time Chen Luo saw the aura gathering in the sky, it came out from Zhang Ronling's body, which meant that Zhang Rong fell deeper into the inner demon tribulation.

Outside, his power loss was even more serious.

A few years later, Zhang Ronling was twenty-six years old!

This year he successfully passed the Jinshi examination and was favored by the big shots above, so he stayed in the capital.

Although he was just a minor official in the capital, his achievements had exceeded that of most people, and he had officially become a very important figure in the village. The Zhang family ancestral temple was also built, and some relatives from the collateral line gathered around him. , forming a huge 'Zhang family'.

Chen Luo was still with Zhang Ronling. This second uncle seemed to have become a butler, the person Zhang Ronling trusted the most.

Twenty-six-year-old Zhang Ronling had a beard and wore a blue official uniform. His long black hair was neatly combed and his eyes were particularly bright. He has a temperament that ordinary people don't have, which attracted the attention of many ladies, and many officials from the capital began to offer him an olive branch. Zhang Ronling didn't even notice the overtures from these people. He had a childhood sweetheart woman.

He swore that when he became successful, he would marry that woman.

night.

Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Ronling sat at the table. He rarely looked at the peace charm that the woman gave him, but held an invitation. His hands kept shaking, as if he had made a major decision.

"Rong Ling, what do you want from me?"

Chen Luo looks much older. He has read a lot with Zhang Ronling over the years. The traces of being a fishmonger have long since disappeared from his body, and he has become like a master from a wealthy family. As for Zhang Ronling's father, he passed away two years ago. Now Chen Luo is Zhang Ronling's only relative in the world.

From this moment on, the power of the inner demon calamity is truly revealed.
