I can't be a demon.

Chapter 182 The Great Ape Demon-Subduing Celestial Lord is Born
Huaguo Mountain has been opened for several days.

The main text maintained the secret technique of the pupils at all times and hurried to the top of a hill.

Even though there was no movement around and it was still a dense forest with complete silence, the inexplicable peeping was following like a shadow, as if... as if all the plants and trees in the Flower-Fruit Mountain were transformed from demons.

In other words, all the plants and trees are the devil's spies.

After outsiders enter the cave, they appear in different places.

According to Old Man Bone's previous reminder, never try to find fellow travelers. No matter what the environment is, the best strategy is to find a secluded corner and wait for the troupe to go on stage.

During this period.

No matter who calls you, don't answer.

But Zhengwen was really uneasy, his natural sharp five senses made him tense all the time, and continuing to stay there in fear would only lead to obsession.

"No, I... must save myself. I can't wait to die."

The text takes advantage of the dim night to travel through the mountains and forests.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when darkness had enveloped the Flower-Fruit Mountain, he suddenly saw a faint candlelight coming out of a temple not far away.

"Finally found it, Guankou Temple."

The noise of the previous fight was deafening. Zhengwen immediately realized that it came from Shen Lian and immediately chose to approach the latter's location.

If he guessed correctly, Shen Lian had already occupied a temple.

As the play approached, the temple almost stopped moving and the duration of darkness in Huaguo Mountain was noticeably increasing.

Once the eternal night comes, the demons in the temple will revive one after another.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Guankou Temple occupied by Shen Lian will be the safest place in Huaguo Mountain. After all, there are reincarnated immortals and Buddhas to suppress demons.

"call."

Zhengwen let out a breath and noticed that on the mountain road leading to Guankou Temple, there were groups of monkeys bowing and kowtowing nine times.

Looking around Huaguo Mountain, monkeys in other temples also made the same move.

They were like devout believers, going to the temple to welcome the approaching demons. Such a scene made the author feel a little chilling.

After hesitating for a moment, the main text hurried to Guankou Temple.

Sudden.

Zhengwen heard a noise in the grass behind him.

"Disciple, it's me..."

"Master?"

The main text had a puzzled look on his face, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a familiar figure standing in the shadows.

Just as he was about to get closer, cold sweat broke out on his back. Even though the figure, voice and breath were similar, the figure had a smell of grass and his standing posture was a little stiff.

Zhengwen turned around and ran, but he could still hear the call in his ears.

It was not until he stepped into Guankou Temple that all the peeping eyes disappeared.

The temple was dark, and in a corner there huddled seventy or eighty monkeys, men, women, old and young, all kneeling in fear and worshipping the statue of Zhenjun.

"Master, please calm down! Master, please calm down!"

The base where the statue was originally placed is now only a broken half.

The gap is filled with bloody roots and resentment. The statue is gradually being reshaped and has now reached the chest.

"Could it be that... the immortals and Buddhas in this world are dead?"

The temple is not big. Apart from the monkey, there is only an old gray-haired monkey temple keeper at the bottom of the statue. The latter is sitting cross-legged in front of the statue with his eyes closed.

It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and his face turned pale.

The demons still exist, but the immortals and Buddhas are nowhere to be seen. Doesn't this mean that Shen Lian is dead or has escaped from Guankou Temple?

The monkeys were becoming weaker and weaker at a rate visible to the naked eye.

It was obvious that the statue was absorbing the monkey's blood as nutrients, and it coughed continuously.

Zhengwen's pupils shrank slightly, and he wanted to leave the temple, but as soon as he reached the gate, his legs were no longer under his control.

"Cough cough cough."

He covered his mouth and coughed, and several blood vessel-like roots appeared on his open palm.

The rhizomes are creeping.

Zhengwen sat back on the cushion in the temple, feeling severe pain in his internal organs. It was obvious that he had become food for Guankou Zhenjun.

There was no point in struggling, because no matter what he tried, it was all in vain.

As the number of monkeys exceeded one hundred, the statue's recovery speed was obviously increasing, and it was estimated that the demon's true form would arrive in a few days.

The monkeys also became anxious.

They found that Guankou Zhenjun's requirements for offerings were getting higher and higher. As a result, at least half of the monkeys would die in the temple.

"Grandpa, why did Master Guankou want to eat us..."

The little monkey didn't even have the strength to speak and collapsed in the old monkey's arms.

"Kid, Master Guankou only wants our souls to return to the Flower-Fruit Mountain."

The old monkey smiled miserably and muttered to himself, "It has been like this in Huaguo Mountain for generations. Every monkey group has to worship a temple. Since Master Guankou wants to eat us, there must be a reason for that."

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Is Huaguo Mountain really supposed to be like this?
The old monkey didn't know. It had been like this for hundreds of years, but what about a thousand years ago? What was the scene like in the Flower-Fruit Mountain a thousand years ago?

"Grandpa, will Guankou Zhenjun... bless us like Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

"That...that's not Guanyin Bodhisattva."

The Guanyin Temple in Huaguo Mountain is very special. All other temples have monkey groups worshiping them, but the Guanyin Temple is an exception and very few people can get in touch with it.

The old monkey shook his head helplessly, recalling his previous encounter with the monster.

At that time, they entered the Guanyin Temple due to danger and were unexpectedly helped by the statue. However, it was not the Guanyin statue that helped, but a new one that was born from the shattered statue.

The new statue sits on a fourth-grade lotus pedestal, revealing a murderous aura that is directed not at all living beings, but at all evil spirits.

The old monkey felt lost.

If they had chosen to stay in the temple, would the grandfather and grandson still be alive?

"Grandpa, what kind of immortal is he?" "He is, is, is..."

The old monkey could feel the body of the young monkey gradually getting colder, and he opened his mouth and scratched his ears, wanting to fulfill his grandson's wish before he died.

"Great... Great Sage, it's the Great Ape... The Devil-Subduing Heavenly Lord!"

When the other monkeys heard this name, they felt inexplicably frightened, and the half statue of Master Guankou also began to shake.

"How dare you talk about other immortals and gods in front of Master Guankou?!"

"Be careful not to offend the True Lord!"

"We have never heard of the Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Lord!!!"

The old monkey was unable to explain and was about to interrupt the other monkeys.

At this moment.

The half statue began to frantically demand blood and energy. The young and middle-aged man fell to the ground with weak legs and begged for mercy, hoping that the True Lord would spare their lives.

There are countless bloody roots spreading inside the statue, and resentment is overwhelming.

Whoosh whoosh.

The roots of the plants penetrated into the monkeys' bodies, and the text was also covered with roots.

"Mortal! Mortal! Let me see your internal organs!!!"

They could hear Master Guankou's low whispers, his words filled with sneers.

The old monkey was half on the verge of death, but he heard the little monkey in his arms regain consciousness and pointed at the temple priest a few meters away, "It's the Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerable."

"Baby, go to sleep if you are tired..."

The temple keeper opened his eyes, jumped up lightly, and touched the ground with his right foot.

boom.

All the roots on the ground were broken, allowing the monkeys to catch their breath. The candles went out, and the temple was plunged into complete darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

"Jie Jie Jie."

There was clearly only a small space in the temple, but there were earth-shaking noises coming from it, and gusts of force caused all the doors and windows to fly open.

"Mortal, why don't you show me your internal organs, and I will grant you a chance to be blessed!"

"Get the hell out of here!!"

The monkeys were terrified, but they could only hide in the corner and tremble.

"He is a living immortal Buddha. He...he is actually practicing under the nose of the demon."

Zhengwen came to his senses, opened his mouth and spit out a jewel-shaped inferior magic weapon. Mana power poured in, and suddenly a faint light illuminated the temple.

The monkey temple priest disappeared, and was replaced by a monster nearly ten meters tall.

It has a dragon head and a human body, covered with scales, with bone spurs at the joints and muscles piled up everywhere, with the texture clearly visible.

"Grandpa, it's the Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Lord!"

"Indeed... it is the Great Ape Demon Subduing Celestial Lord. He has appeared!"

The old monkey looked dazed. Could it be that the Great Ape Subduer of Demons whom he had summoned earlier was the immortal god in the dark responding to him?

Bang bang bang.

Shen Lian grabbed the unformed Guankou Zhenjun and punched him at a high frequency.

The statue was torn into pieces, but a smile was still on its lips. "Mortal, if I give you a chance but you ignore it, that's fine..."

"Mortal, I will use your body as a medium to descend to the Flower-Fruit Mountain."

Zhenjun Guankou spit out a huge amount of roots from his mouth. They ignored the protection of scales and armor, quietly drilled into Shen Lian's flesh, blood and bones, and rushed straight to the Niwan Palace.

His face showed eagerness, and he could feel that Shen Lian's body was becoming his own hotbed.

"Jie Jie Jie."

Shen Lian grinned and stared at Master Guankou with a mocking look.

"You think you've got me?"

"The demon who claims to be Master Guankou has never used his Lingtai Fangcun from beginning to end. Come, let me see Master Erlang's divine power!"

Zhenjun Guankou's expression froze, and then he heard the crying of a baby coming from Shen Lian's lower dantian, and felt indescribable shock in his heart.

You know, although Shen Lian had the upper hand in the previous fight, he never thought that the latter was a threat, just a mortal warrior.

But things are different now.

Shen Lian opened his eyes wide between his brows, and an incomparably brilliant light of Taoism emerged.

The baby's crying became more and more intense, and the four transformations of the stance and the Tao Infant complemented each other.

The walls and ground of the temple were covered with pupils that opened densely, not only removing the bloody roots between the flesh and bones, but also causing Master Guankou's limbs to twitch uncontrollably.

The roots that made up his body turned into bones and then quickly wrapped around Guankou Zhenjun.

The rhizome was extremely active and broke out of the body the next moment.

The monkeys left the temple in time, but they were also inexplicably affected.

However, the situation was a little special. Not only was the depleted blood and energy replenished, but even a faint... strength emanated from his body.

"Taboo? It turns out that you are not a mortal. You are a demon. You must be a demon!"

"you guess."

Shen Lian raised his right arm, and a thick layer of bones grew around his fist, smashing down like a giant battering ram.

boom! ! !
"Oh, you are quite imposing, but you are very timid."

Only ashes were left in the hole on the ground, and Master Guankou once again abandoned his clone in a miserable manner.

There was no joy on Shen Lian's face. The difficulty of Master Guankou was far beyond his imagination. If he really had to face his true self, he would not be able to solve it easily even if he used his wisdom eye.

"The gods in the temple possess intelligence and seem to be closer to demons than the alchemists."

"They are from...Xieyue Sanxin Cave?"
