吃饱喝足后,一行人再次踏上了他们的旅程.临走前,蔡村长向村长讲述了青雅县的情况,建议他保持警惕,一旦出现异常就逃跑.不幸的是,村长并没有把他的警告当回事,很少有村民理会.
他们在这里住了这么久,自然不会因为蔡长的一句话就收拾行囊逃走.如果他们真的逃脱了,那是在他们确定这个消息之后.
蔡长没有再追究,因为这只是他的猜测.有可能,在烧了青雅县之后,那些人会停下来,不会再惹麻烦了.
至于所谓的造反,对蔡局长来说,不过是个玩笑.
他本人就是青崖县附近最大的土匪头子.如果该地区有任何叛军活跃,他肯定会意识到的.所以,蔡局长马上就知道了青雅县的情况不对劲.然而,作为一个权力或影响力不大的土匪头子,知道这一点并没有改变任何事情.他无法改变更大的图景.
世界就是这么烂.
朝廷封禁了武道,普通人永远无法获得真正的力量.他们所能做的就是服从并为生存而斗争.
蔡长曾是个老实的农民,但生活变得难以忍受,他转投山区,当了土匪.一开始,只有他和他的几个兄弟,但随着越来越多的人发现自己无法生存,土匪集团慢慢成长为一个成熟的山地据点.
到头来,威武虎山不过是一群穷困潦倒,饥肠辘辘的人,就像野狗一样.
他们没有机会接触武功,只能摸索着练习.
这也是为什么,陈洛施展武功后,威武虎山的所有人立刻就相信了他.在他们眼里,凡是能学武的人,都是大人物!
"陈兄,你有兴趣加入我们威猛虎山吗?如果你愿意,我可以把我作为领导者的地位给你.
走了一会儿,蔡当甲放慢了脚步,走到陈洛身边,轻声问道.
蔡当甲很犀利.
在目睹了陈洛的武功之后,蔡当甲开始思考.如此水准的武者,对他和威猛虎山来说,都是个机会!
只要陈洛愿意加入黑帮,他下台放弃职位又何在呢?
一条通往权力的真正道路——他相信帮派中没有兄弟会拒绝这样的机会.
"我现在没想这个,蔡哥,你太客气了."
陈洛摇摇头,礼貌地拒绝了.
在短暂的休息中,他利用太监的心智复习了自己的黑虎拳术,获得了新的领悟.太监魏公公的资质比之前江湖客人陈洛记录的要好得多.如果不是权力斗争的干扰,陈洛可能不是他的对手.
他现在已经下定决心了.
一旦他们度过了这个阶段,他就会先为他和三叔找个地方安顿下来,然后,用新获得的'大脑',再次练习黑虎拳.
尤其是那个皇室的大脑.
直到现在,他还不敢用.他有一种感觉,皇家的大脑与他以前遇到的所有武者大脑都不同.这很可能会为他指明一条全新的道路.运气好的话,甚至可能帮他突破到锻骨第三境.
正是因为这种感觉,陈洛才不敢轻率地使用它.
在不稳定的环境中,错过机会会导致巨大的损失.
又走了半天,他们终于从乡间小路出来,开始看到更合适的路.
此时,来自虎山村的一行人正准备绕道而行.
他们在盐湖县也有一个据点,村里的人都驻扎在那里."狡猾的兔子有三个洞"这句话完全适用于他们,这就是为什么当局无法完全消灭他们的原因.
"陈哥,如果你改变主意,老虎山村会永远欢迎你."
村长蔡不情愿地说.
作为土匪,他们不能进城.现在他们已经到了这个地步,陈洛和他的叔叔暂时安全了.没有任何直接的威胁,陈洛打算暂时找个地方安顿下来,好好处理过去的收获,同时反思最近的发现.
"Definitely."
Chen Luo cupped his hands in farewell.
Putting aside their identities as bandits, Cai, the寨 head, was actually a good person—loyal and true to his word, a good brother. It's just that his strength was a bit lacking.
After parting ways with the group from the Tiger Mountain Band, Chen Luo and his uncle settled down in the nearby Fan family village.
This village was the closest to Salt Lake County.
After arriving, the uncle and nephew rented a secluded house from the local village elder, temporarily settling down there.
"Once the heat dies down, we should go back to the village. With such a big incident happening in Qingya County, Big Brother and the others must be worried," Uncle Chen said as he prepared some food and brought it over to the table.
When he mentioned Big Brother, he was referring to Chen Luo's parents.
Life in this world was tough even in the villages. The villagers spent the whole year toiling in the fields, yet they often couldn't even afford a full meal. Chen Luo's father, unable to bear it any longer, had no choice but to send his son to the city to seek refuge with Uncle Chen.
In the past, Uncle Chen had been the most accomplished person in their Chen family village.
Though he was just a grave digger, he was still someone who ate from the government's table.
"It's about time to go back," Chen Luo nodded in agreement.
After a simple meal with his uncle, Chen Luo and his uncle went to their respective rooms to rest.
The houses in the village were nothing like those in the county town; the most noticeable feature was their size. The house that the uncle and nephew rented was a large courtyard with four main doors, and the rooms inside were quite spacious.
Sitting in his room, Chen Luo focused his attention on calling upon the royal brain.
As he concentrated his thoughts, his consciousness once again shifted to a third-person perspective. The new royal brain took over his perception, and it felt as if his entire being had been rebooted. Though the memories were the same, the sensation of recalling them was now incredibly vivid — he could even remember clearly the time he wet the bed as a child.
'The Black Tiger Fist shouldn't be practiced this way.'
After recalling the training method for the Black Tiger Fist, such a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
The martial arts techniques optimized by over a hundred martial artists' brains now appeared riddled with flaws. Not only were there numerous incorrect methods of exerting force, but there was also a disharmony in the application of power. Although it was only a brief moment, when Chen Luo eventually mastered the Black Tiger Fist at a later stage, this slight "disharmony" would be magnified infinitely. If he were to face a higher-level expert, this flaw would become the very point that could cost him his life.
"Weak in the mental aspect, and agility is somewhat lacking. However, it might be useful to borrow from Wei Gonggong's brain, as he has a lot of experience with speed cultivation."
The royal brain continuously analyzed the current abilities, optimizing and reorganizing them.
Soon, it helped Chen Luo establish a completely new direction.
The strength was still the same strength, and the martial arts remained the same set of techniques. But his combat power had nearly doubled out of nowhere!
When the royal brain withdrew, feeling exhausted, Chen Luo suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue, a sensation that was hard to put into words. So intense was the exhaustion that he forgot all about continuing his practice, collapsing onto the bed and falling asleep instantly.
A night passed.
When Chen Luo woke up, he felt refreshed and full of energy. All the lingering internal injuries from his previous battles with Wei Gonggong and others in Qingya County had healed. His internal energy became more vibrant, and his mind was exceptionally clear. The bottleneck he had encountered while learning the Black Tiger Fist was now completely understood.
"This royal brain... does it have some kind of special enhancement?"
Chen Luo paused for a moment, slightly stunned.
It was the same type of brain, so why was there such a huge difference between the royal brain and the others? Could there be something inside that he couldn't see?
For example... a spiritual root!
