I can't be a demon.

Chapter 125 The Disappearing Demons

Shen Lian took a breath of cold air.

Although the bony spine has no five senses, the spiritual consciousness attached to it can vaguely perceive the situation on the other side of the tree hole.

That is definitely not the deep underground of Bibotan!
Click click click.

The white bone spine made a sound as if it could not bear the heavy weight, and a ray of light spread along the white bone spine and poured directly into Shen Lian's body.

“Why do I feel like the entrance to the banyan tree branch is now at the top of the tower?!!”

He used the white bone spine to display his wisdom, and the information revealed was indeed true.

[Nine-headed Insect's Niwan Palace]

[After the Nine-Headed Insect passed away, the relics were sealed in the Niwan Palace. Remember, remember, it has reached the top of the pagoda and chanted sutras day and night! ! ]

Shen Lian was both surprised and delighted.

If the relic was within easy reach, it would no longer be a luxury for the giant gluttonous ram to be promoted to the fourth level.

You must know that the giant food-eating ram is related to the supernatural power of food supplement, which is the foundation of martial artists' practice. The earlier you are promoted, the smoother your martial arts will be.

"Uh."

Before Shen Lian could investigate further, the rosy glow quietly spread over his flesh, blood and bones.

There was even a ray of rosy light raging in the Niwan Palace, causing the three souls and seven spirits to feel deeply uncomfortable, and the souls and spirits even showed a tendency to dissolve.

The sturdiness of the bone spine is comparable to that of a mid-level magical weapon, but now it is weathering.

"We must not go to the top of the pagoda in person. Facing the relic directly will lead to our death. Even if the relic was not left by Sakyamuni, it must have been a hidden trick of some Buddha before he ascended to heaven."

Shen Lian secretly activated the Hunyuan Inner Dan, and suddenly a faint light flickered in his middle dantian. The rays of light from all places slowly sank into the Inner Dan like a swallow returning to its nest.

The characteristics of Hunyuan Randeng enable the inner elixir to practice by absorbing the rays of light, and the yin and yang energy generated by it appears extremely pure and powerful.

But it is extremely dangerous, after all, the Hunyuan Inner Elixir has never been in the Niwan Palace.

If his soul is accidentally contaminated by the rays of light, Shen Lian will be easily influenced by the conversion to Buddhism.

"To be on the safe side, find a way to use the bone spine to trigger the Nine-Headed Ghost Cart."

Shen Lian pinched his nose bridge with a headache.

There seems to be an opportunity right at hand, but it is an illusion like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror.

Shen Lian retracted the skeleton spine. The bones were dry and full of cracks. If it were not for the nutrient replenishment, the skeleton spine would have been broken in the Bibotan Lake.

At the same time, the bony spine brought with it several pieces of dragon scales scattered from the top layer.

According to the information identified by the wise eye, the wreckage actually came from the Halloween Dragon King.

[Dragon Remains]

[Left behind the failed death of the All Saints Dragon King. It has been corroded by the relics and cannot be consumed. It will cause the soul to irreversibly convert.]

"The truth behind the thousand years of Bibotan should be on the top floor of the pagoda."

Shen Lian took several sips of medicinal wine, and the nutrients repaired the damaged parts of his spine.

"Let's first find out the specific situation on the top of the tower."

"It's not realistic to rely on the bones of the spine alone. It's better to see it with your own eyes than to work hard for several years."

Shen Lian got up and left the pawnshop and went to Li Shun's residence near the government office.

The streets along the way were bustling with activity. The incident at the White Bone Cave seemed to be just a false alarm. At least Yanliang Town was not affected.

"It seems like there are a lot more people in the city."

"Perhaps it's because Yanliang Town is relatively peaceful. Even if there are ghosts, they are all quietly dealt with by the kind-hearted Master Ba."

Before Shen Lian could knock on Li Shun's door, the courtyard had already opened.

Behind the door was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Li Shun. "Come in, Shun'er is in the wing room. Do you want me to go and inform him?"

Shen Lian frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

"I'm Li Shun's second uncle, and I just came to Yanliang Town not long ago."

"Well, no need, I'll go find him myself."

As far as Shen Lian could remember, Li Shun was still living alone a few days ago, so he sent out his spiritual sense to scan Uncle Li, but did not detect any demonic aura.

He walked into the room, and Li Shun, who was meditating with his eyes closed, quickly stood up to greet him.

"Li Shun, when did your second uncle come?"

"Yesterday, he will be staying in Yanliang Town recently." Li Shun said embarrassedly: "Young Master, the house is really simple, I am sorry for not entertaining you well."

"It's okay. I came to ask you for some eye-pupil magic tools."

Shen Lian threw the two soul-nourishing pills he had prepared to Li Shun, who stretched out his hand to stop him.

"No need, young master. The secret technique was given to me by you in the cave. Refining the pupil magic weapon does not consume much blood and energy at all."

"Take it, and reach the sixth level of Yuandan as soon as possible."

With Shen Lian's current practice efficiency, the help from the Soul-Nourishing Pill Fruit is decreasing day by day. In addition, there is a stable supply channel, and even the starling occasionally has some Soul-Nourishing Pill Fruit to satisfy his hunger.

Li Shun nodded heavily.

"I am grateful for your kindness. Young Master, you can come to me if you have any questions."

Pupils appeared on Li Shun's arms, and he immediately took off four of them and handed them to Shen Lian. He took the initiative to peel off the magic weapon, which made Shen Lian's breath become disordered.

"That's enough. Li Shun, just concentrate on your retreat."

Shen Lian looked at the crude magic weapon. In fact, there were only a few Jinwu Guards who were able to refine the weapon. Li Shun had no worries about resources as he was in the fifth level of the innate realm.

He said goodbye to Li Shun and walked out of the yard, glancing at Uncle Li out of the corner of his eye.

Uncle Li was cleaning up the fallen leaves. When he noticed Shen Lian was looking at him, he gave him a simple smile and waved.

Shen Lian nodded and hurried to the Ghost Pawnshop with the Eye Pupil Magical Tool.

Ghost Dad still looked calm and composed, standing motionless behind the counter every day, occasionally lighting a stick of incense for Ghost Mom.

He took the pupil magic weapon and took out the robe that had been tempered for a long time, "A Lian, the robe you left at the pawn shop is of very poor quality. It's a pity that it has not been touched for a long time."

The robe was stuck between the middle and upper grades, and even the ghost father's ability could not go any further. "Old man, it's okay..."

"Ah Lian, let me try again."

Ghost Dad looked Shen Lian up and down and pointed at the strange fish around the latter's waist.

The strange fish is a low-quality monster harvested during a great tidal shedding. Its cultivation level has been stuck at around five years, and its deformed body has made it unable to move.

"If the belt is useless, I'll ask Mr. Wu from the tailor shop to sew it into my robe."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and decisively gave up the useless strange fish. He used the strange fish as a belt because he thought it was stronger.

Ghost Dad picked up the robe and the strange fish, turned around and disappeared into the thick fog of Yongcui Street.

Shen Lian was not overly worried. Ghost Dad was now equivalent to the Ghost King in Yongcui Street, and his cultivation had reached 1,600 years without him noticing.

The situation in Bibotan had calmed down for a long time, so he sent the Bai father and son back to Yanliang Town.

The Bai family father and son had complicated expressions. They obviously realized that this place was full of monsters. The experience of living in Gao Village left them with lingering fears.

The next ten days.

Shen Lian patiently waited for his ghost father to refine the magic weapon, while constantly exploring the Bibotan Lake.

The area of ​​the top floor of the pagoda is wider than imagined, but there should be no demons in it, which is a blessing in disguise.

In addition to the remains of the Halloween Dragon King, some scales of the Halloween Dragon Girl were also found.

[Dragon Remains]

[Left behind the successful death of the Wansheng Dragon Girl. It is corroded by the relics and cannot be consumed. It will cause the soul to be irreversibly converted.]

The difference is that the Halloween Dragon Girl succeeded in attaining enlightenment just like the Nine-Headed Insect.

"Sitting in meditation..."

While Shen Lian was pondering, he went back and forth to Gao Laozhuang every few days. His four pupil magic weapons finally reached the intermediate level, while his robes were still being tempered.

【Ghost Eye】

[The pupil is taken from the Multi-Eyed Sutra, and was transformed by Shen Hansheng into a ghost. It is already a mid-level magic weapon. After refining it, one can use the magic weapon to see things.]

Shen Lian simply refined it a bit and attached the magic weapon to the end of the white bone spine.

The vision of the ghost eye is definitely not as good as that of the naked eye, but it is helpful for exploring the top floor of the pagoda. Otherwise, it is unknown when the relics can be touched.

Whoosh.

The skeletal spine burrowed into the tree hole.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and the light on the top floor seemed real.

Cracks began to spread on the surface of the ghost eye. After infusing a large amount of Yin and Yang energy, he was finally able to barely see the current situation on the top floor of the pagoda.

The top floor of the pagoda looks like a deformed pumpkin.

It is clearly a whole, but it is inlaid with nine faces with different expressions.

It looks like sewing the nine heads of a Hydra together, which is extremely grotesque.

The relics were suspended in the position of the soul in the Niwan Palace, and the brilliant rays of light exposed outside condensed into a nine-headed Buddha shadow over a hundred meters long.

Shen Lian stared at the nine-headed Buddha until his ghost eye was completely shattered.

He discovered that the nine-headed Buddha was the incarnation of the soul of the Hydra, and it also had signs of suturing, but was on the verge of collapse.

"Wait, the moment my soul came into contact with the glow, my three souls and seven spirits began to dissolve."

"The Nine-headed Insect stole the relic in order to unite its soul, right?"

The ghost car bird originally had ten heads, representing three souls and seven spirits.

As a result, after losing one of the stars, the ghost car birds' brains became confused and disordered, and they occasionally fought with each other, which was somewhat like a split personality.

"No wonder the Ghost Car Bird is related to the Phoenix, but it is in such a bad state."

The Nine-Headed Insect was trapped in the Bibotan Lake for a thousand years. Perhaps there was hope for the reunion of its soul and spirit at the beginning, but the relic's conversion was too terrifying.

The rays of light directly turned the Nine-headed Insect's body into a pagoda, and its soul protected the relics. The demons worshipped the Buddha treasure day and night, hissing...

"If I'm not mistaken, the third profession of the Nine-headed Insect is Phoenix. All you have to do is help him find his lost tenth head."

[The 〈Ghost-headed Phoenix〉 occupation has been triggered, but the necessary conditions are missing and the job cannot be taken.]

[Giant Ram—Ghost-headed Phoenix Bird Compatibility 61.43%]

Shen Lian shuddered.

"If it weren't for the fact that all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky have disappeared, the Bibotan Lake would look more and more like a place where some Buddha used to train his mount."

After Shen Lian calmed down, he continued to explore the top of the tower through the ghost eye.

Previously, his attention had been focused on the relics, but now he discovered that there were two dragon corpses on the top floor.

Precisely.

Only the skin of a corpse remained, which looked a bit like a cocoon of a butterfly emerging from a pupa. One could see that the dragon that had once crawled out was abnormally deformed and twisted.

The other corpse had not yet emerged from its cocoon and was covered in bite marks, with the flesh and bones inside weathered into ashes.

Shen Lian made a careful appraisal.

【Halloween Dragon Girl's Skin】

[After the Wansheng Dragon Girl successfully passed away, her body and soul had escaped from the skin. The skin still had some life in it and could be used to refine weapons.]

The other mutilated corpse was obviously the Halloween Dragon King.

"The All Saints Dragon Girl relied on the rays of light to transform into a demon and bit her father, the All Saints Dragon King, to death. I'm afraid she escaped from the Bi Bo Lake hundreds of years ago."

"Gao Cuilan, the All Saints Dragon Girl."

"In theory, either of them is enough to destroy the existing order of the Tang Dynasty."

"Where are they?"
