I can't be a demon.

Chapter 219: Ghost Dad Becomes a God

Shen Lian closed his eyes and felt his body and soul. As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was promoted to the fifth level, all the abnormalities seemed to disappear and his cultivation reached its peak.

The injuries that Xie Yue Sanxin Cave had suffered previously were completely healed. Although Yun Ling Daoying had not made any further progress, at least his foundation was not damaged.

"What can I do? The old yellow-fanged elephant is still with me."

Shen Lian subconsciously touched his neck and found a shallow mark.

When he fell into a deep sleep, he could only vaguely sense the outbreak of the curse. He seemed to be experiencing the dream of the old yellow-fanged elephant again, and... it seemed that he was the one hanging in the dream?
A hint of solemnity flashed across Shen Lian's eyes, but soon returned to normal.

With his physical strength, it is unrealistic to strangle his neck. Besides, even if his head and body are separated, he can easily reconnect them.

"Captain Zuo, do you know the origin of the monster that is causing trouble in Yanshan?"

Zuo Yan shook his head slightly, and said hesitantly: "I'm not sure, but it should be a certain cave power. I feel like they took the initiative to come to me. Could it be related to Panhuan Cave?"

"It's not Panhuan Cave. I have come into contact with the Taoism of Tuanxiang. It is not a pure elephant monster."

Zuo Yan hesitated to speak, in fact, the Eighth Master might know something.

"Ah~~"

The mynah bird landed on a branch not far away and tilted its head to look at Zuo Yan, who immediately swallowed the thoughts about Di Ting.

The guardian gods and ghosts don't want to be exposed, so how dare I offend them?

"Master Shen, your master, Pavilion Master Bai, and others have worked together to kill an insect demon. I will bring the corpse to you immediately for you to see."

While Zuo Yan was speaking, the body that had separated from his head came towards the pawnshop. One could see that he had a very solid foundation in martial arts, and through the concealment of the secret technique, his Qi and blood seemed extremely restrained.

"You have a good attainment in martial arts. When your martial arts Yuandan surpasses your inner power Daoying, you will be able to completely transform yourself and travel through the world of spirits."

"Thank you, Master Immortal, for your guidance."

Zuo Yan's attitude was extremely respectful. After witnessing the residual power of the mynah bird's birth, he had already understood that Shen Lian's identity was far from being described by a simple sentence of reincarnation of immortals or Buddhas, and it was very likely that he involved the secrets of the three realms.

Now he just wanted to hold Shen Lian's thighs tightly.

In Zuo Yan's opinion, Shen Lian's act of teaching martial arts was to establish a Taoist school, and he planned to select suitable martial artists from the Yanshan area to become his disciples.

There are very few Yuandan warriors nowadays, which is exactly his destiny as an immortal.

"Master Shen, look."

Zuo Yan brought the insect corpse and Shen Lian took it with a frown.

【Elephant lice identification completed】

【Elephant lice】

[Originally, it was a bug parasitic on the body of the old yellow-fanged elephant, and became a demon after being infected by its aura. It has the magical power of "Elephant Derivation", and after parasitizing a living being, it can reproduce offspring with higher Taoism and shorter lifespans, and at the same time, turn the corpse into an elephant demon. ]

"It is indeed Lion Camel Ridge. It seems that the current situation in the capital is not simple."

Shen Lian looked at the information for a long time. The appraisal of the fifth-level wisdom eye was very comprehensive, and even the magical powers and taboos of the monsters were described.

[Yan Luo's Wisdom Eyes: Can easily identify antique calligraphy and paintings less than 10,000 years old. ]

Shen Lian originally thought that the Lion Camel Ridge had not appeared in the world, and the cave was hidden in the dark corner of the capital, with only the breath of some demons affecting the world.

The appearance of elephant lice now proves that Lion Camel Ridge has intervened in the world.

"Captain Zuo, the person who started the elephant lice is still in the city."

"What?!!" Zuo Yan felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He wanted to release his spiritual sense, but was afraid of alerting the enemy. For a moment, his expression looked a little unnatural.

"It's okay, just handle Yanliang Town affairs as normal."

Shen Lian stretched lazily, then put his finger on Zuo Yan's brow.

The true realm of martial arts flashed by.

While Zuo Yan was in a daze, his whole body made the sound of bones colliding. The martial arts Yuandan instantly overwhelmed the internal energy Dao Infant, and the two soon came into contact.

It is not a one-sided devouring, but a fusion of the internal energy Daoying with the martial arts Yuandan as the main force.

Shen Lian observed Zuo Yan's changes and discovered that due to his demonic physique, the strength he generated had a... strange smell.

The human is neither human nor ghost, and the freshness of qi and blood is greatly reduced.

"The path of integrating internal energy with martial arts seems to be okay?"

Shen Lian couldn't help but be tempted, but then he remembered that after all, his internal strength came from an unparalleled demon, and who knows what kind of drawbacks it had.

At present, martial arts are not suitable for large-scale promotion.

Unless the fishing magic covers the Tang Dynasty, or the mother who is the source of Tang Monk's flesh for everyone dies, martial arts will always be a minor path.

"Captain Zuo, I plan to go to the capital in half a month. Please help me select a dozen outstanding young warriors to accompany me."

Zuo Yan's heart was shocked. The power of various cave dwellings in the capital was extremely intertwined. Moreover, it was the critical moment of the succession of Emperor Tang. Who knew what kind of shocking move Shen Lian would make.

"Captain Zuo, you stay in Yanshan. Once you have established yourself, I will transfer you to the capital."

Zuo Yan asked hesitantly, "Master, what if there are forces from the cave mansion interfering with the Salt Mountain?"

Shen Lian understood that the banyan tree could only keep out the demons from underground. The capital was too far away from the salt mountain, and even the fifth level of fishing skills might not cover it, but this trip could not be delayed any longer.

"I will make proper arrangements. Send craftsmen to build a temple overnight, and make a statue based on the image of Tianpeng Zhenjun of Gao Laozhuang."

"I understand and will explain the origins of Tian Peng Zhenjun to the people."

Zuo Yan did not ask any more questions, as the methods of reincarnated immortals and Buddhas were beyond the comprehension of mortals.

"You should go into seclusion to consolidate your cultivation. After the Dao Infant transforms into strength, your foundation will be unstable for the next few days."

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

"Don't call me Master outside, just call me... Young Master."

"Yes, Young Master's family."

Shen Lian's consciousness communicated with the Wanhu token. Wang Xin and the other two still had their auras. After a year, they might have successfully entered the cave. He sent a message to Wang Xin and the other two, and they would receive the message as soon as they left the cave.

Shen Lian asked Wang Xin and the other two to go directly to the capital to meet up.

"anyway."

Shen Lian watched Zuo Yan disappear into the street, thinking to himself, "Dozens of forces are gathering in the capital. If they want to control the Tang Dynasty, it's unrealistic. The benefits brought to the court are extremely limited."

"There's not much point in plundering the population. Three million mortals are indeed a lot."

"But it's not enough for a group of peerless demons. Besides, in the past few hundred years, I have never heard of a large number of mortals dying in the capital."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and his breathing paused for a moment.

"The 27th year of Zhenguan should have been the time when Tang Monk returned to Chang'an after his journey to the west. Even if the world of Journey to the West collapsed, the disaster of that year should have left something in the capital."

"Some kind of opportunity that even the greatest demons in the world covet?"

Shen Lian looked far toward the capital city, with a desire to explore the truth in his heart.

"Unfortunately, the wisdom eye ability has certain limitations, and my current physical strength is a bit insufficient to face the ten thousand year old ghost. I can only say that I barely have a trump card to protect myself."

While Shen Lian was thinking, he picked the fairy bone elixir fruits from the banyan tree branches one by one.

There were a total of thirty-two corpses thrown into the tree hole previously, but some of the alchemists had second or third immortal bones during their lifetime, and the number of elixirs produced was as high as forty-five, making a fortune.

While Shen Lian was processing the Immortal Bone Pill Fruit, he went to the White Bone Cave.

The Ghost Pawn Shop has returned to the Trident. The surrounding area has been cleared by the violent resentment of the Ghost Father, and no ghost dares to approach.

During the half year that Shen Lian lost contact, Ghost Dad almost lost control.

If it weren't for the Ghost Mom and Ghost Sister, the Ghost Dad would probably have become a mindless demon and started a massacre in the White Bone Cave.

The moment Shen Lian appeared in the White Bone Cave, the resentment immediately subsided.

"Ah Lian, are you okay?"

"It's okay. Master Bodhi has asked me to stay in the cave for a while. However, the cave is closed now. You can only practice the Three Heart Secret Technique outside."

The ghost dad gave a silly smile, which could not be connected with his three thousand four hundred years of Taoism.

Now that the immortal bone has taken shape, and when it transforms into Lord Tianpeng, its strength will be comparable to that of a ghost.

"Brother!"

Nian'er jumped onto Shen Lian's back and rode the horse while covering his eyes.

The ghost mother's arm stretched out from the ground and gently stroked Shen Lian's hair.

"Old man, I want to ask you for a favor."

"can."

Shen Lian smiled and massaged Ghost Dad's back, "Old man, I'm going on a long journey, and I'm afraid that my home will be coveted by bad guys, so please help me keep an eye on it."

Ghost Dad nodded, "Ah Lian, is the place you are going to be dangerous?"

"Yes." Shen Lian did not hide anything, even when facing the man's father, "But I am confident that I can get out of this unscathed."

"Take Nian'er with you, your mother and I are enough."

"Great!"

Shen Lian was slightly tempted. Nian'er's cultivation had barely reached three thousand years. Her ability to split her body made her invincible, and the poisonous insects she refined could detect the strength of the capital.

It’s just that the ghost girl is too conspicuous outside and easily attracts the attention of the world’s demons.

Nian'er pointed at the ghost gourd and shouted, "Brother, Nian'er is very well behaved. You can raise insects in it on weekdays. It won't disturb you."

"Okay." Shen Lian's mouth twitched. The ghost gourd is a legitimate magic weapon for brewing wine, but when used to refine poisonous insects, it completely turns into a magical weapon.

It doesn't suit my temperament!
Nian'er packed up hundreds of bottles and jars and put them into the ghost gourd. She walked around the wine pool with great interest, looking very satisfied.

"go."

Shen Lian's mind moved, and the dragon fish robe turned into a little evil dragon and drilled into the ghost gourd to play with Nian'er.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

Shen Lian stayed in the White Bone Cave to accompany the Ghost Father and Ghost Mother, and helped the Ghost Sister move. Unexpectedly, he found a mountain of insect breeding equipment.

He did not return to Yanliang Town until the temple was completed.

Tianpeng Temple is located next to Zhong Kui Temple in the city center. It has very few incense sticks and only a main hall with a statue of Tianpeng.

The statue of Tianpeng looks ferocious and evil, holding a nine-toothed rake in his hand.

The ghost dad came to the human world and kept his eyes on the human dad in the pawnshop. It seemed as if there was some mysterious connection between them.

"Old man, he is...your twin brother. Yanshan area is your hometown. You must protect them from the invasion of demons."

"I see. No wonder it feels so familiar."

The ghost father's expression returned to normal, and then he slowly merged into the statue of Tianpeng Zhenjun, while the ghost mother turned into the nine-toothed rake in the statue's hand.

"No demon will dare to touch any grass or tree in Yanshan!!!"

Taboos are spreading invisibly.

Zuo Yan's heart was pounding. He turned around and looked at the Tianpeng Temple from afar and noticed the lifelike statue, as if... it was really the True Lord Tianpeng who had descended to the earth.

Shen Lian was afraid that Ghost Dad would lose control, so he repeatedly confirmed the latter's condition before he felt relieved.

The Three Hearts Secret Technique can stabilize the state of mind, and Ghost Dad's words and actions can be controlled freely, and there is also an unexpected discovery.

When mortals visualize the ghost father, they can realize the method of tempering the heart.
