I can't be a demon.

Chapter 124 Listen carefully, the hell of tongue-pulling!
Wansheng Luang Po was restricted by the rules of Bibotan. Even though she was unwilling, as time passed, her body returned to the twelfth floor.

Ao Guangxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Using the magic circle and the mortals together, we should be able to share most of the rays of light. I can then go to the top floor while the demons are being suppressed and chanting scriptures."

Ao Guangxing moved impatiently for a long time, muttering: "I can't wait for Ao Jiang any longer, because that damn Yuandan warrior, Bibotan has begun to reject me, so I have to hurry up."

He felt inexplicably uneasy.

Shen Lian is from Yanliang Town, and Ao Jiang lost contact near Yanliang Town.

Ao Guangxing had heard some rumors about Yanliang Town. Those things that seemed ridiculous before, when put together, looked like a huge net.

"Ghosts and gods protecting the way? I don't believe in ghosts and gods protecting the way. If he has ghosts and gods protecting him, why doesn't he come and kill me, haha."

Ao Guangxing closed his eyes and rested.

As night falls on Bibotan Lake, the rays of light from the relics scatter in all directions.

"With the relic, I can go to the west wing of the North Sea Dragon Palace and avoid those dragons that were hanged thousands of years ago..."

Ao Guangxing was still muttering about the relic, but suddenly he froze in place.

The eleventh floor of the pagoda is very close to the top and is being bathed in rich rays of light. It is reasonable that the mortals in the cave would not be able to survive for more than a few breaths. Their minds would have been destroyed and they would have become Buddhist believers.

But a quarter of an hour had passed and Ao Guangxing didn't hear any movement.

He looked towards the corner in disbelief, and then saw more than a thousand mortals standing there with their eyes closed, like puppets created by secret techniques.

"what's the situation?!!"

Ao Guangxing felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and then noticed the shadow under the mortal's feet.

Hee hee hee.

The shadow opened its mouth, showing its bright teeth as it laughed. Even with the glow of the relic, it did not affect the bone blade.

"Where did this great demon come from? It is definitely not in Bi Bo Tan."

Ao Guangxing forced himself to remain calm. The demon before him had not been more than four thousand years old. It was just difficult to deal with, but it was far from being impossible to handle.

"This demon's target should be something on the top of the tower..."

Click click click.

The shadows converged to form a bloody mouth of twenty to thirty meters.

Without waiting for Ao Guangxing to react, the bone blade stored all the mortals into its stomach, and in an instant covered the entire eleventh floor of the pagoda.

Ao Guangxing's body and soul underwent strange changes, and a strange laugh came from between his flesh, blood and bones.

"It's coming for me! It has been lurking in the Bi Bo Lake for a long time. The weapon on the waist of the Yuan Dan warrior has a similar aura."

"Ghosts and gods protecting the Dao? But... you are a ghost or god with three thousand years of practice!!!"

Ao Guangxing roared, and his internal and external organs transformed into independent dragon beasts. An invisible fight unfolded in the shadows.

He soon realized the terrifying power of the bone blade.

As long as any living creature is within the shadow range, it will be devoured by the bone blade and gradually transformed into nutrients for the latter to replenish.

Ao Guangxing suddenly remembered a demon recorded in ancient books.

Taotie.

His heart was trembling wildly, and he gritted his teeth and continued to split the dragon beast, going deep into the shadows to see the true form of the bone blade, even if his body and soul would be damaged.

After all, if it really is ghosts and gods protecting the way, what Shen Lian showed is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ao Guangxing's Taoist infant's divine consciousness seemed to lift up a veil, and what came into view was a pair of sheep horns, a full ten meters long.

It has a sheep body and a human face, its eyes are under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like that of a baby.

This is Taotie!
boom!
"No, evacuate for now!"

Ao Guangxing has been based in the Dragon Palace of the North Sea for many years. He is a man of few words who plans before taking action. When faced with an unknown monster, he immediately wanted to retreat.

The magic power was poured into the Tao infant without reservation.

The flesh, blood and bones exploded at the same time, and the Taoist infant abandoned his body and escaped from the shadows.

The Taoist heritage of the North Sea Dragon Palace is based on the Daoying Yuandan. Even if the body is damaged, it can be reshaped through the secret technique of dragon transformation.

The dragon-shaped Taoist infant turned into a stream of light and instantly disappeared at the entrance of the tenth floor stairs.

The tenth floor of the pagoda was guarded by Benboerba. In Ao Guangxing's memory, it was a quagmire filled with countless fish eggs and descendants.

"fortunately……"

Ao Guangxing was stunned. A banyan tree sapling had appeared in the middle of the mud pit. Its emerald green leaves looked out of place in the Bibotan Lake.

The starling perched on a branch and laughed out loud towards the sky in a frivolous manner.

"Quack, quack, quack."

Ao Guangxing broke out in a cold sweat, but a shadow was already creeping up from behind him. He had no chance to hesitate and continued towards the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely horrifying scene appeared.

The starling opened its beak, accompanied by the wails of countless dead souls.

Then a huge monster descended, and Ao Guangxing's pupils shrank slightly.

"Listen!!!"

Di Ting, who was nearly twenty meters away, leaned over to look at Daoying, with gray-black smoke spewing out of his mouth and nose.

Rumble.

The quagmire dried up, and the cracks seemed to be connected to the underworld. Twisted evil spirits stretched out their arms, trying to escape from the underworld.

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

All evil spirits have long tongues and suffer constant pain from the pulling of their tongues.

From this we can see that the myna, who has been practicing Taoism for 4,000 years, seems to have truly touched the legendary Di Ting. The ghost realm formed by the resentment of evil spirits has the characteristics of the first level of [Tongue-Pulling Hell].

The last bit of hope in Ao Guangxing's heart disappeared.

Even Benboerba had to temporarily avoid the attack. The demon in front of him, no, even if the ghost was not Di Ting, its origin would definitely not be simple.

"Ding Ting, Taotie, who would have thought that you were actually protecting the warriors."

"Why?"

“Why did I risk my life to get all kinds of opportunities, and worked hard for a hundred years to reach the seventh level of Dao Infant, but why did he have ghosts and gods protecting him from birth? He only needs to walk the path of immortality and Buddha again?!!”

After a brief period of relaxation, Ao Guangxing's will to survive burst out again, and his Dao Infant suddenly withered, with his soul at least 50% damaged. "I can't die!"

Daoying became hysterical and disappeared under some mysterious spell.

The starling was too lazy to pay attention to Ao Guangxing. It flapped its wings and flew to the upper floors of the pagoda. The bone blade began to adjust the magic circle left by Ao Guangxing.

.........

Ao Guangxing opened his eyes again.

He found himself in an underground river in the mortal world. His Dao Infant was riddled with wounds, and his magic power was so weak that he was about to fall to the sixth level of Yuandan.

"I'm not dead, haha, I'm not dead."

"We must tell the Four Seas Dragon Palace the truth about the ghosts and gods protecting the Dao. We cannot let a reincarnated immortal Buddha who has mastered the lantern technique survive."

Ao Guangxing shuttled through the ever-flowing underground river. As long as he went two thousand miles north, he should be met by disciples from the Dragon Palace, and he would be safe then.

He took out the telepathic talisman, but his soul was severely damaged and his consciousness was almost completely gone. He had to take the Dragon Palace elixir to restore some of his consciousness.

pat.

The talisman falls.

Ao Guangxing stopped where he was in despair.

With his remaining spiritual sense, he discovered that the underground river he was in was actually covered with roots and rhizomes, which extended from the banyan tree in a dense and dense manner.

Under the continuous attacks of the three myna brothers, Ao Guangxing had already lost the ability to resist.

Whoosh.

The rhizome runs through the Tao infant.

Ao Guangxing raised his eyes and saw that the talisman that had dropped earlier was flickering slightly. It must be that one of his fellow disciples noticed that his breath was weak.

The rhizome swung and the talisman broke into pieces.

Ao Guangxing was carried by the roots and rhizomes, little by little approaching the main body of the banyan tree.

Before his consciousness disappeared, he witnessed a large number of winding roots, entangled with scattered corpses, and Ao Jiang was among them.

Ao Guang sighed, "It's a bit similar to the ginseng fruit tree, but when Wuzhuang Temple was born fifty years ago, the innate spiritual roots should still be there."

The Taoist infant became nutrients, and the branches of the banyan tree became more and more lush and green.

At this time, Shen Lian was lying under a tree to enjoy the cool air, distracting his mind to consolidate his cultivation, taking a sip of wine from time to time, looking extremely comfortable.

The corpses of demons that had been thrown into the tree hole not long ago were being digested, and flower buds of various colors were emerging from the branches one after another.

[Absorbing the Hundred-Year-Old Giant Lungfish, the Experience of the Dan Lead Corpse +1.12%]

[Absorbing 0.97-year-old grass carp, experience of Danxian lead corpse +%]

.........

[Returning the elixir to lead corpse reaches 50.03%, martial arts points +4]

"After digesting the harvest from Bibotan, the Danxian Lead Corpse should be 60% complete."

"After all three professions are promoted to the fourth level, if you still can't find a way to gain experience, then prepare for the fourth profession."

Shen Lian glanced at the branching tree hole leading to Bibotan Lake and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh."

"The number of catfish in the underground river is gradually decreasing. In half a month at most, the entrance and exit of the cave will be completely closed."

"The Dragon Palace alchemist will definitely leave the cave in advance. I will go to the cave to take a look then. If the relic is still there, I will try again."

Shen Lian estimated that there was little hope. Even if the relic was left on the top of the tower, it was unrealistic to go there under the eyes of a bunch of evil spirits.

"Forget it, let it go."

As for the trouble in the North Sea Dragon Palace, Shen Lian didn't care too much about it.

If one commits a crime in this world, one will go to the cave to avoid disaster. If one commits a crime in the cave, one will return to the world to avoid disaster.

The Bai family father and son were both safe and sound in the ghost pawn shop, even with their families.

"but……"

Shen Lian smiled bitterly, "Will there be trouble if the human father and the ghost father meet? After all, the two were originally one."

He couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his mind, anxiously waiting for the situation to develop.

The turmoil in Bibotan had subsided, but for some unknown reason, more than a thousand missing people in various towns suddenly returned home.

The government seemed to attach particular importance to missing persons, even if there were no casualties.

It is said that it is because of the involvement of [White Bone Cave].

Every time the White Bone Cave appears, there are usually a large number of funerals held in the area within a short period of time.

In this case of missing people, some relatives did choose to bury them in cenotaphs, but there were no bodies themselves, so it is not known whether this violated taboos.

Shen Lian didn't pay much attention to it as he was busy harvesting the fruits all day.

Most of the elixir fruits are used to nourish the body's organs, but there is one elixir fruit on the branch that is covered with dragon scales and is slightly special.

The dragon scale fruit seems to be made up of three fruits, one large and two small.

It takes a full twenty days to mature.

【Dragon Marrow Fruit】

[Grown from the banyan tree, taking it can give you some of the characteristics of the North Sea Dragon King. Mash the pulp and apply it to a magical instrument to help it transform into a dragon.]

Shen Lian felt that if the Dragon Marrow Fruit was placed in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, it would probably attract a bunch of alchemists to fight for it, but it would be useless to him.

Even after putting it near your mouth, you will instinctively resist swallowing the dragon marrow fruit.

"It will definitely do more harm than good to get your physical body close to the North Sea Dragon King. Keep it. If you use it properly, you might be able to obtain a lower-level magic weapon."

Shen Lian put the dragon marrow fruit away properly and continued to do nothing for half a month.

The catfish finally became extinct. During this period, there were reports that some Taoist priests from the Dragon Palace went to Bibotan, but nothing came of it in the end.

Upon seeing this, Shen Lian quietly released the white bone spine and inserted it into the tree hole.

The inside of Bibotan was unexpected.

"what?"
