I can't be a demon.

Chapter 151 Immortal, Save Us

"The more I learn about this world, the more horrified I find it."

Shen Lian looked at the endless waves of the Nujiang River from afar. The river water swept away the sand and rocks, turning them slightly yellow, and it was impossible to see what was hidden in the depths.

"The body of Chen Guangrui, whom my mother missed so much, should still be at the bottom of the Nujiang River, but finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Shen Lian took a sip of medicinal wine to suppress his distracting thoughts.

Everyone eating Tang Monk's flesh is just the tip of the iceberg of the truth about the world of Journey to the West. Even the mother that Yin Wenjiao transformed into does not necessarily stand at the top of the food chain.

"The mother is most likely not in the cave, but somewhere in the world like Gao Cuilan and Wansheng Dragon Girl. Their strength is enough to destroy the existing order of the Tang Dynasty."

"But... why are there no traces of them? Are they hiding from something?"

"There are also immortals and Buddhas who have disappeared. What is their situation?"

Shen Lian's scalp tingled, and he felt an urgency to improve his strength. Who knows when the disaster of the 81 difficulties will strike.

“The employment of the fourth profession is indeed necessary.”

"I'm seriously short of points right now, and the monsters I've encountered at my current level aren't enough to advance the experience level of the three professions."

If nothing unexpected happens, I will have to rely on the fourth profession to gain points for a long time.

It is not realistic to want to have a lot of part-time jobs. The fourth profession requires 10 points, and it can be predicted that the fifth profession will at least double or triple that.

The fifth profession is basically a losing business, unless you encounter a very good special profession.

Shen Lian scanned the inside of the fruit core and found that he had collected more than a dozen internal power secrets, each of which was related to a peerless demon from Journey to the West.

His spiritual consciousness inevitably fell on the body of the five internal organs monster.

It can be said that in terms of rarity, the Blood Spirit Child far exceeds other special professions.

"Blood Spirit Boy, this profession involves the mother, and even more so, the Tang Monk."

As Shen Lian was thinking, he suddenly realized that the riots in the city were intensifying. Not long after Wang Baoping's death, demons were about to emerge.

"kindness?"

Shen Lian exerted force with his legs and walked on the top of the roof as if he was walking on flat ground.

Li Shun saw Shen Lian standing up and asked quickly, "Young Master, I..."

"You should take good care of your injuries."

Shen Lian took out a big medicine obtained by Wang Baoping's sacrifice. The sudden appearance of the demon should have come from Wang Baoping's big medicine.

【Shuxuedan】

[Born by Yin Wenjiao, it increases cultivation and inhibits the aggravation of abnormalities after consumption, and the medicinal power is accompanied by a certain degree of corrosiveness. ]

"Haha, you'll die whether you eat or not."

Shen Lian didn't plan to take it, but he couldn't throw away hundreds of Daoying medicines. To be on the safe side, he let the pregnant god filter it again.

His body expanded to more than six meters, and his spiritual sense had already locked onto the demonic aura.

.........

Nujiang Town is a mixed bag of people, with 20 to 30 gangs of varying sizes.

Wang Baoping has formed a close interest relationship with the gang, and he lets the gang be responsible for guiding the people to believe in the legend about the Dragon King Festival.

The benefit they can get is naturally the great medicine.

According to Wang Baoping, the medicine can prolong life, and they believed it without a doubt until Wang Baoping died at the hands of Shen Lian.

"Ah ah ah."

The sturdy man covered his abdomen and leaned against the wall, spitting out sticky blood.

He only felt that his body was churning, and his internal organs seemed to be about to separate from his body. Then, his bones kept growing.

Roar!
A faint evil aura permeates the air.

The strong man grew thick fish scales and his appearance became deformed and terrifying.

He lost all reason and became a monster driven by instinct, staring at the blood-curdling people passing by on the street with salivating eyes.

In addition to panic, people are more numb.

The government offices were always promoting the idea that a change in appearance to a blessed one was a sign of destiny, and that after death one could go to the Nujiang Dragon Palace to enjoy wealth and glory.

They know that a blessed appearance is not a good thing.

Just watching their relatives and friends becoming more and more alike and their bodies becoming weaker and weaker, they felt a chill down their spine.

But all actions were in vain.

Wang Baoping's secret technique covers the entire city. Once a gang finds any objection, the secret technique will silently wipe out that person's life.

The people had no way to escape and could only believe the vague rumors in the market.

Faced with the threat of demons, they simply chose to stay where they were and face death, without expecting the Jinwu Guards to come and rescue them.

"Blood food, eat..."

The fish demon stuck out its long, narrow tongue and looked at the hundreds of mortals on the street.

"Everyone, run! What are you still standing there for?!"

Yuan Chaozhong rushed out of the alley, his body covered in blood, holding the fish monster's head in his hand.

"Open your eyes and look! That's a man-eating monster. Run away!"

Only a few people came to their senses belatedly, but they just hugged the children and knelt down to pray to the Nujiang Dragon King to show up.

One girl couldn't help crying loudly.

The fish monster smelled the scent and rushed over, its expression filled with greed.

"Go away!"

Yuan Chaozhong swung out his sword, and the fish monster bit the blade into pieces, waving its sharp claws, ready to swallow the delicious blood meal in front of it.

The girl held her head in bewilderment, tears as big as soybeans dripping down her cheeks.

"Help..."

Rumble.

A huge monster fell from the sky and hit the fish monster's head heavily. The incomparable impact force crushed every inch of the fish monster's flesh and blood.

The fish monster opened its mouth wide in one breath, and in the next breath, its flesh and bones collapsed. Bang.

The minced meat splattered everywhere.

Shen Lian stood in the middle of the street, without a speck of blood on his body, but the murderous intent faintly revealed in him clearly showed that he had slaughtered countless demons.

Everyone looked at Shen Lian at the same time. Although the latter did not use any special skills, his rock-hard muscles made him look like a god.

"Wang Baoping is dead, and Nujiang Town will return to the right track from now on."

Yuan Chaozhong swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Master Shen, let me handle the West City District. The demons are mainly concentrated in the South City District. We must wipe them out as soon as possible..."

"It's okay, they're coming."

thump.

dong dong.

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, a steady stream of demons came from all directions.

Yuan Chaozhong opened his mouth wide. Shen Lian actually emitted tangible blood and energy, mixed with strength that looked like colorful candlelight.

Compared to ordinary people, Shen Lian is like a firefly in the dark night.

The demons were simply unable to resist the drive of their instincts; a piece of Shen Lian's flesh and blood was enough to increase their cultivation by several years.

Shen Lian touched the girl's head.

"Be good, close your eyes."

The girl nodded and asked in a baby voice, "Fairy, can you save us?"

"I'm not an immortal. How can there be an immortal with this appearance in the world?"

Shen Lian covered the girl's eyes, opened his mouth and spit out Yun Ling's inner elixir. Groups of monsters fell to the ground like mowing the grass.

The monster's eyebrows were pierced by the inner elixir, and its mouth was still wide open before it died.

"Control the power this time. Don't waste the fertilizer of the Dan fruit."

While the people were stunned, the demons had already turned into cold corpses, piling up like mountains in the streets and alleys, emitting an unconcealable stench.

"Immortal."

"Sage, please save us."

"Immortal, please save our Nujiang Town."

.........

The numb expressions of the people regained some vitality, as if they were grasping at the last straw, and they knelt on the ground begging for Shen Lian's response.

Shen Lian's eyes fell on a well in the courtyard not far away.

Whoosh.

The streets were dead silent as the people watched in amazement as the skeletal spine broke out of the body and dived into the well to perform its Wisdom Eyes.

【Well water】

[Originally part of the Nujiang River tributary, it was later sealed off by Wang Baoping and Chen Guangrui's brain marrow was put into it, making it unfit for drinking.]

"Sure enough, the anthropomorphic source is drinking water. After all, the Nu River is turbulent all year round, and it is too dangerous to get water."

"But, Chen Guangrui's brain marrow can also have the function of assimilation?"

Shen Lian closed his eyes, and his white bony spine extended everywhere at the bottom of the well.

He did not find Chen Guangrui's brain, but after a random destruction, the magic circle that sealed the underground water source was damaged.

When the well water flows, the impurities are diluted in a moment.

"Yuan Chaozhong, send someone to move the monster's body to the backyard of the government office. Also..."

Shen Lian looked around and said, "Let's make a public announcement. The abnormalities that are plaguing their bodies will no longer get worse. However, if we want to completely eliminate them, we probably have to apply to the imperial court for a batch of spiritual talismans."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Shen."

When the people heard Shen Lian's words, they parted ways and chose a different path. Their original awe was mixed with fear because of the white bone spine.

Shen Lian didn't care about other people's opinions at all and left the street.

"Whether Wang Baoping had contact with Chen Guangrui's body or not, the source of the bone marrow must have been the hidden cave in Nujiang River, and there was a force of the Jinwu Guard supporting him in making the sacrifice."

"By the way, why not just offer the body as a sacrifice to the Mother? Could it be that Chen Guangrui's body has been completely changed after his death?"

Shen Lian returned to the government office and reported the whole case to Ma Wanhu.

Although Ma Wanhu was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries, he would occasionally wake up for a while. After receiving the message, he immediately arranged to suppress the specific resources.

Shen Lian did not mention Yin Wenjiao. The fewer people knew about the existence of the human mother, the better. The magical powers and taboos of the ten-thousand-year-old demon were too evil.

The chaos in Nujiang Town has been calmed down, but there are still many troubles to deal with afterwards.

The good news is that the health problems among young people are gradually improving.

Shen Lian handed over the yamen to Li Shun and the other man, and focused on his cultivation. The sense of urgency brought about by the truth made him dare not be distracted.

He buried the Danlu fruit in the courtyard and watered it with half a pound of blood water every day.

It didn't take long.

There was an ordinary two-meter tree stump in the courtyard. The core of the tree was rotten and sunken. It did not look like an alchemy furnace, but more like a rotten wood eaten away by insects and ants.

Various corpses of monsters were thrown into the alchemy furnace, followed by more than 700 blood-soothing pills.

The occupation panel showed that while the Wanshou Corpse Root was gaining experience, some tender buds were sprouting at the roots and a large number of elixirs were being nurtured.

Wang Baoping’s harvest alone is enough to provide the resources to reach the seventh level of Dao Infant, not to mention that the elixir can boost the experience of both professions.

Shen Lian waited patiently for the pill to take shape, and occasionally explored the area around Nujiang River.

The dilapidated temple by the river has been abandoned. The Nujiang River is interconnected in all directions, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to try to find the entrance to the cave.

However, Zhu Yihong's whereabouts have been elusive, and the Wanhu token cannot be accurately found.

It was less than half a month later that she left Jianghe.

It’s just that the state of the body and soul is a little... unusual.
