I can't be a demon.

Chapter 131: Mrs. Bones is actually him!
Ma Wanhu fell into a trance and for a while he was unable to retract his soul.

According to the classics handed down by Taoism, thousands of years ago, all the immortals who practiced in the mortal world revered Zhen Yuanzi as their ancestor.

Today, immortals and Buddhas have disappeared, and the title of the ancestor of earthly immortals has long been buried in history.

But Ma Wanhu still remembered that Wuzhuang Temple had been born once two hundred years ago. He had just entered the Taoist sect not long ago, and he only knew that a large number of Jinwu Guards had gone there.

Batches of Jinwu Guards were like moths to a flame.

Almost half of the Jinwu Guards in the Tang Dynasty wanted to have a chance at becoming an immortal, even if it meant not entering a cave and witnessing the wonders of their innate spiritual roots.

It is said that smelling the medicinal fragrance of ginseng fruit can extend one's life by 360 years.

Eating a ginseng fruit can extend your life by 47,000 years.

Before entering the cave, the Jinwu Guards would generally light a Nether Candle and blend the soul's aura into the magic weapon. The outside world could tell whether a person was alive or dead by the strength of the burning Nether Candle.

Ma Wanhu shuddered. Wuzhuang Temple had been closed to the world for two hundred years.

The Dark Candle is still lit, but the flame has become extremely weak. No one knows what happened to the Jinwu Guards in the Wuzhuang Temple.

"No...impossible."

"The ginseng fruit tree should still be in Wuzhuang Temple."

Ma Wanhu was extremely confused and it took him a long time to calm down.

Whether it is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or Zhen Yuanzi, the other party's origin must be complicated, and he is most likely the reincarnation of a great immortal or Buddha.

The reason why the White Bone Cave caused a commotion in Yanliang Town was because of this person.

Ma Wanhu smiled bitterly and shook his head. In fact, the ghosts all over the city could not threaten Shen Lian at all. Even the ghosts and gods behind him did not take any action.

I'm afraid they are all gifts.

Otherwise, Yanliang Town would have turned into a forest of bones for mass burials and become the entrance to the White Bone Cave.

"I...must talk to him, even if it means losing my old bones."

Ma Wanhu was terrified when he thought about it. As long as Shen Lian was in Yanliang Town, it would be like an open cave. The degree of danger could be imagined.

Once the thunder breaks out, the consequences may very likely affect the entire Tang Dynasty.

Ma Wanhu's soul returned to Niwan Palace and controlled the sedan chair towards Shen Lian.

When he stepped into Yanliang Town, he immediately felt inexplicably watched, and there seemed to be a living creature crawling in his own shadow.

Ma Wanhu understood that Taotie was paying attention to him.

"If others knew that the shadow they were standing on in Yanliang Town was actually the bloody mouth of Taotie, I wonder how they would react?"

At the same time, Ma Wanhu sent a message to the rest of the Jinwu Guards to leave Yanliang Town immediately and cooperate with the Demon-Slaying Army to handle the resettlement of tens of thousands of people.

Shen Lian stood at the door of the pawnshop, watching the approaching sedan chair.

He had already sensed Ma Wanhu's presence before. The latter's body was weak, but his soul was extremely powerful, and he was obviously wandering in the Eight Realms.

"As long as I am not an alchemist, even if I travel through the eight realms, I will not be able to stop my escape."

Shen Lian looked around and saw that many blocks in the city were in a mess. There was also a hole in the west gate, which would cost a lot of money to repair.

"Well, to be honest, I have always been law-abiding. The Shen family pawn shop operates in good faith, so there should be no conflict with the Jinwu Guards."

"Even if it damages the town, it is for the sake of slaying demons."

Little did Shen Lian know that Ma Wanhu was even more nervous than he was.

Ma Wanhu discovered that the banyan tree in the backyard of the pawn shop, which was suspected to be an innate spiritual root, was rapidly increasing in spiritual power at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah~"

"The young lady from the White Bone Cave is so pretty~"

The mynah bird shook its head in a frivolous manner, making a weird cackle, which made Shen Lian show murderous intent, "Get lost."

Ma Wanhu's heart stopped beating as he watched the starling fly past him.

It’s hard to imagine that a heartless crow is so closely connected with Di Ting. Could it be that... I’m seeing things?
"Ah~"

The mynah bird cried, and the Taoist infant in Ma Wanhu's body trembled suddenly.

Absolutely right!

The sedan chair landed smoothly on Hefeng Street. Although it was an ordinary street, Ma Wanhu felt that there was something weird and strange everywhere.

Shen Lian no longer deliberately concealed his identity, and in fact it was no longer a secret.

He then returned to his normal state, and after regaining his energy and blood, he looked more like a scholar, and it was even difficult to tell any traces of martial arts training.

"Master Wan Hu, I am Shen Lian, the young master of the pawnshop. If Master Wan Hu wants to take a break, why don't you come and sit in the house?"

Ma Wanhu was about to say something but stopped himself, his eyes sweeping across the banyan tree in the courtyard.

"fine."

"I am Ma San, and there is no need for us to be polite. You can just call me Old Ma."

Ma Wanhu noticed the wariness on Shen Lian's face and breathed a sigh of relief, because the latter seemed unaware that he was the reincarnation of an immortal or Buddha.

Shen Lian also breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the visitor had no ill intentions.

The two were silent for a long time. After Ma Wanhu hesitated for a long time, he finally said, "Uh, Young Master, you have great kung fu."

"Master Ma, thank you for the compliment."

The two of them chatted about this and that, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

[Returning the elixir to lead corpse reaches 70.02%, martial arts points +4]

Ma Wanhu paused, his heart filled with confusion.

Only after close observation was it confirmed that the banyan tree was 3,500 years old. If it continued to grow at its current rate, it would reach the level of a "haunted demon" in no time.

"What is this? Has the ginseng fruit tree become a demon?!"

"Ah~" The starling stopped at the top of the sedan chair, and Ma Wanhu said with a wry smile: "Young Master, I came here for the White Bone Cave, and I am currently in charge of the towns around Yanshan."

Shen Lian secretly had a headache.

The reason why the White Bone Cave caused such a commotion in Yanliang Town was most likely because of the elixir lead corpse.

After all, the Huandan Lead Corpse is a special profession derived from Madam White Bone. It seems that it is involved in the White Bone Cave because of this, which is really unreliable.

But it was a reminder to Shen Lian.

If the special professions are already like this, the demon profession will probably attract the covetousness of the world's demons.

Shen Lian asked in a deep voice: "Master Ma, what is the situation of the emergence of the White Bone Cave?"

Ma Wanhu hesitated for a few breaths, and then told the truth: "In fact, the young master can also see that the emergence of the White Bone Cave is related to funerals."

"The court had always thought that the White Bone Cave was created because of the death of a large number of people, but it turned out to be just a cenotaph..."

Ma Wanhu added: "Including Yanliang Town, a total of four towns are involved, but... Yanliang Town should not form a forest of bones."

The resentment in the city has completely dissipated, and the conditions for the growth of a forest of bones are completely unsuitable. This shows the horror of the methods used by the guardian ghosts and gods.

"Bone Forest?"

"The entrance and exit of the Bone Cave. As long as you lock yourself in a coffin and bury yourself in the Bone Forest for seven days and seven nights, you can go to the cave."

Shen Lian had no interest in getting involved in the White Bone Cave. Even though Banyan Tree needed to be promoted to the fourth level, he had obviously been targeted by Madam White Bone.

The correct thing to do is to practice diligently, or wait until Ksitigarbha comes to you and advance to the fifth level.

If Huiyan can deal with ghosts that have existed for thousands of years, he can indeed meet the White Bone Lady. Otherwise, who knows what the situation is like inside.

Ma Wanhu hesitated again and again.

He lifted the curtain and handed a secret book to Shen Lian.

"I have been to the White Bone Cave several times. If the young master is interested in the White Bone Secret Art, you can read it on weekdays."

The secret book is the soul-leaving technique from the White Bone Cave, and entry requires one to be without flesh and blood.

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and asked smugly, "Master Ma, I have helped the Jinwu Guards to eliminate the demons. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Can I see the inner strength of the seventh realm of Dao Infant?"

Ma Wanhu realized that Shen Lian's cultivation was indeed the result of his own hard work.

Most likely, he forcibly found a way out of the martial arts by observing internal skills. His talent... is truly incredible, he is worthy of being the reincarnation of an immortal or Buddha.

"Young Master doesn't know."

"In fact, the sixth level of the Yuandan internal energy is already the end. If we, the Jinwu Guards, want to break through the seventh level of the Daoying, we must go to the corresponding cave and transform our physiques once again."

Ma Wanhu handed over another secret book and patiently explained, "This book contains some of my experiences. Young Master, feel free to take it."

"Thank you, Master Ma."

Shen Lian suppressed his distracting thoughts. He thought that there would always be a way out when the car reached the mountain. He would first cultivate the sixth level of Yuandan to perfection. He didn't believe that he would get stuck at a small bottleneck.

He was just about to put the book into the fruit core when he accidentally glanced at the cover.

The cover clearly reads [Written by Han Xiangzi].

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but point at the cover and asked, "Master Ma, who is Han Xiangzi?"

"The cave owner, Madam Bai Gu, calls herself Han Xiangzi. Perhaps that was her name when she was alive, but I have never found out her origins."

Ma Wanhu stopped talking abruptly, as Shen Lian in front of him seemed to know some secret.

Shen Lian had a lot of thoughts.

When he saw the three words "Han Xiangzi", the first thing he thought of was the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

The Eight Immortals are headed by Lu Dongbin, and one of them is named Han Xiangzi.

Han Xiangzi followed Lü Dongbin to learn Taoism for many years and fell to his death while climbing a tree to pick peaches.

After death, the body will be transformed into an immortal!

Han Xiangzi is also one of the few famous immortals who has achieved corpse transformation.

"Could it be that the corpse that Han Xiangzi left behind turned into Madam White Bone? No wonder Madam White Bone was born with the ability to transform corpses into corpses!!"

Shen Lian was terrified when he thought about it carefully, because it was indeed something that immortals and Buddhas could do. Most of the monsters on the journey to the west were closely related to immortals and Buddhas.

It would not be a serious problem for a young child if he fell, but Han Xiangzi had magical powers and weapons, so he was shot in the back with 27 bullets and committed suicide.

Among the 81 difficulties, many of them give the impression of being forced illusions.

The immortals and Buddhas killed Han Xiangzi, and a demon was born from his corpse, which added another difficulty. They also trained the Eight Immortals on earth and would later lead them to heaven.

Shen Lian remembered the information about the skull.

【Skulls in the White Bone Cave】

[Made by the White Bone Goddess, you can take the skull to the White Bone Cave to participate in the Eight Immortals show. Remember, if you see the Eight Immortals, leave quickly!!!]

"Damn it, what on earth is Madam White Bone doing in the cave?"

In Shen Lian's impression, Han Xiangzi lived in the early Tang Dynasty, but Cao Guojiu seemed to be a royal relative from the Song Dynasty. In other words, the Eight Immortals were ranked after Journey to the West.

"hiss……"

"The immortals and Buddhas have disappeared, so the Eight Immortals must be stranded in the mortal world."

"Could it be that after their lifespans ran out, their bodies fell into the hands of Madam White Bones?"

"The 81 kinds of monsters are really more restless than the others. At the moment, Zhu Bajie seems to be the most honest one."

Shen Lian pinched his nose bridge with a headache, hoping that the turmoil in the White Bone Cave would not affect him.

"No."

"I have to improve my strength as much as possible. Madam Bones will definitely cause trouble for me."
