I can't be a demon.

Chapter 221 Shen Lian, are you serious?
[Heart Sutra on Reincarnation]

[Created by Shen Lian, and realized by visualizing the Yellow Fanged Old Elephant, this is a secret technique of taking over another body at Lion Camel Ridge. After being perfected, it no longer requires the body to be separated from the head.]

"What a mess, with the body and head separated?"

Shen Lian was digesting the contents of the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation and felt that the technique was extremely mysterious.

The original version of the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation requires one to chop off one's own head, mix it with spiritual herbs to make a powerful medicine and take it, only then can one snatch other people's heads like a weasel to take over their bodies.

And the target of the possession must die in the dream of the old yellow-fanged elephant.

The weasel can only perform the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation in a dream.

"Why does the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant's magical power involve dreams? From my impression, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is not involved in dreams either..."

"wrong."

Shen Lian has already completed most of the seventh realm of Dao Infant, and is about to reach the eighth realm of Shenyou, where the soul leaves the body. His perception of the soul is becoming more and more acute.

He suddenly recalled that he had read about the life of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in a tourist attraction in his previous life.

It is said that before Samantabhadra Bodhisattva attained enlightenment, he once had a dream in which he was pregnant with a six-tusked white elephant. After waking up, he suddenly realized and achieved the status of a Bodhisattva.

The magical powers of the old yellow-fanged elephant may be related to dreams.

Immediately after the weasel died, the four previously bound human heads regained their consciousness.

"Save me, immortal, save me! Immortal, save me ah ah ah!!!"

They moved towards Shen Lian frantically, screaming in despair, wanting to get his help and take back their bodies.

Shen Lian only took away Li Huan's head, and no one knows where the bodies of the other heads are.

"Bless yourself."

The sixth-grade flesh and blood lotus protected Shen Lian's consciousness. Yunling Daoying grabbed Li Huan's head, and the latter sobbed with gratitude on his face.

When Shen Lian returned to the human world, two lotus leaves on the sixth-grade flesh and blood lotus platform were damaged.

There was an extra human head in his hand, and blood was still flowing from his neck. He was relying on the vitality brought by his natural special ability to survive.

"Li Huan, I won't lie to you."

"Saving you this time was a matter of convenience, but it was not without purpose. I will take away part of your soul. If you are willing, just blink."

Li Huan's eyelids twitched slightly, his life force was fading quickly.

Shen Lian walked quickly with the head in his hand, and in a few flashes he arrived at the Tide Martial Arts School.

There was chaos in the martial arts hall. Bai Jinbao and others had just realized that Bai Haibo was unconscious. They were slightly frightened when they saw the headless corpse.

"Big Brother!!!"

After Shen Lian arrived, everyone suddenly felt a backbone.

In particular, they noticed the fresh human head in Shen Lian's hand. Although the facial features were distorted, it was still alive in a strange and inexplicable way.

Shen Lian leaned over to check on Bai Haibo, who was not seriously injured.

Even if the weasel took over Li Huan's body, it would be difficult for him to exert his strength in the real world, and his Taoism skills were completely gone, so he could move quietly.

"Ah~~"

The starling landed on the top of the eaves and flapped its wings angrily.

They searched for the culprit day and night, only to find the starling cursing right under their noses, attracting countless stares.

"Big Brother, Master..."

"It's okay, Master Bai just fell asleep."

"Junior brother can be saved, but he will inevitably need to recuperate for a few years."

Shen Lian's mind moved, and Yunling Daoying tore off part of Li Huan's soul, but the number of three souls and seven spirits remained unchanged, so the foundation was not damaged.

puff.

Li Huan vomited blood and his face turned extremely pale.

Shen Lian placed the human head on the broken neck of Li Huan, without exerting any strength to heal the wound, and as a result, the head and body had grown together.

The bones also fit tightly together.

"Cough cough cough."

Li Huan seemed to be drowning, but his limbs quickly regained consciousness.

"Jinbao, take your fellow apprentices and send the master back to his room."

"it is good."

Everyone left the room, leaving Shen Lian and Li Huan alone.

"Big Brother, I...I should be okay, right?"

For Li Huan, the dream experience was simply a nightmare, and he could only watch as the demon took over his body.

Shen Lian said with a complicated expression: "Don't leave the Yanshan area in the future, otherwise similar situations will happen again."

Li Huan covered his head in despair, and then found that his neck was slightly loose.

It seems as if... my head and body could be separated at any time.

"Big Brother, why?!"

"After you were invaded by the demon, your body underwent some changes. The demon can now easily take over your body."

Li Huan's face was filled with despair, and Shen Lian stopped talking without elaborating.

In fact, Li Huan's head had become food for the yellow-fanged old elephant, and his body had become a container for the Lion Camel Mountain to take over his body. It was almost irreversible.

Shen Lian secretly used his wisdom eye.

【Human head elephant fruit】

[It is the favorite food of the yellow-fanged old elephant. It can be used as a medium for reincarnation. Remember, don't be greedy! ]

Li Huan suddenly remembered something and murmured to himself, "No wonder! No wonder!!"

"The people in the palace often change their temperaments, including my father. They... they are no longer human, but demons!"

Li Huan fell to the ground, and because of the large amplitude of the movement, his neck was bent 90 degrees.

He quickly straightened his head, only a little blood seeped out of his neck, as if nothing had happened.

Li Huan immediately understood that he was no longer a human being. Just like what his senior brother said, he was just a puppet that could be possessed by another body at any time.

"Big Brother, I don't want to be the Emperor of Tang, nor do I want to kill my brothers and sisters. Why won't they let me go!!!"

Li Huan broke down and cried, trying to reveal as much information about the capital as possible to Shen Lian.

The situation was indeed worse than expected. Shen Lian had originally thought that it was a change of the Tang emperor, but now it seemed like an internal fight among demons. It was unknown how many members of the Tang Li family had survived.

"Where is He Zijin, the captain who brought you to Yanliang Town?"

"Grandpa is dead. The news was brought to me by Master Ma. He said...he said that grandpa died two years ago due to a demonic attack."

Shen Lian remained silent, and his consciousness summoned the profession panel.

[Do you want to consume 2 points to master the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation]

"determine."

Shen Lian's soul began to throb, and some of his strength circulated around the Niwan Palace. Within a few breaths, the words "entry level" appeared on his career panel.

"Li Huan, from now on you stay in the Yanshan area, and no more demons will come to your door."

"Big brother."

Li Huan held his head with both hands and said excitedly: "Big Brother, I want to learn martial arts, can you teach me martial arts?"

"You should go find Zuo Yan, Zuo Qianhu. He is more suitable."

Zuo Yan's martial arts are integrated with the internal power of the immortal Huli, which allows his brain to be out of the body for a long period of time. Although this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure, at least he can lead a normal life.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother."

Shen Lian patted Li Huan on the shoulder and quickly left the Tide Martial Arts School.

As he walked, he put points into the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation. The practice of this method was very complicated, but fortunately the points consumed were not many.

[Do you want to consume 4 points to advance to martial arts: Heart Sutra of Reincarnation (Minor Success)]

.........

A total of 28 points were consumed, and the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation was successfully completed.

Shen Lian walked towards the yamen, emitting a strange aura. If Li Huan was nearby, he would surely recognize that the eldest senior brother was imitating his own body and soul aura.

[Do you want to consume 4 points to synthesize the Purple Palace Tempering Method and the Heart Sutra of Reincarnation]

"determine."

Shen Lian paused slightly, and in the blink of an eye he mastered the method.

Immediately afterwards, his own soul was counter-replenished by the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness unconsciously increased by 20%, and his characteristics became different.

[Purple Mansion Tempering Technique (Unified Mind and Spirit)]

"After the improvement of the fishing magic and the integration of the Purple Mansion Hardening Technique, the original function of taking over the body has been completely changed..."

Shen Lian used the Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Method, and part of Li Huan's soul fell into the hands of Yunling Daoying.

A huge amount of powerful force surges, assisting the spiritual consciousness in refining the soul.

After a while.

The soul sizzled and turned into smoke and dust, which was imprinted on the palm of Yunling Daoying, and then formed the distorted word "Li Huan".

Shen Lian arrived at the mansion inside the government office and knocked on the door.

"Zuo Qianhu."

There were hurried footsteps from inside, and Zuo Yan hurried over to open the door.

"Master, are you going to the capital soon?"

"Yes, in two days."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Captain Zuo, have you arranged for the warriors to accompany you?"

"I have arranged it. There are six people in total, all of them are yamen runners with decent talents. I will have them come to the pawn shop to meet you tomorrow."

"Need not."

Shen Lian stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, activating the Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Technique.

"Let them serve as my personal guards, and then inform the court that the 71st Prince Li Huan will go to the capital via [Yanshan Pass], and ask the court to dispatch the Jinwu Guards to escort him throughout the journey."

"what?"

Shen Lian's skin and flesh squirmed, and his soul's aura underwent drastic changes.

In front of Zuo Yan, he transformed into an almost identical person to Li Huan, only his peculiarities were not as severe as the latter, and he was mostly in human form.

The words on Yunling Daoying's palm were fading away little by little, but not very fast.

According to Shen Lian's estimation, Li Huan's identity can be maintained for at least five years. During this period, there will be no flaws in his body and soul, and any secret method will be difficult to discover.

If you want to get in touch with the old yellow-fanged elephant, the easiest way is to disguise yourself as a prince.

If most of the Li family members have turned into demons, it is not surprising that I show any abnormality. Well, it is also normal to transform into a giant elephant.

Of course, the advantage of disguising yourself as Li Huan is that you can discard the disguise at any time.

"Master, you..."

Zuo Yan's eyelids twitched wildly. Although he realized that Shen Lian would definitely cause trouble, he did not expect that Master Shen's plan was so big.

"Excuse me, Master, do you want to be... the emperor?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just trying to cover it up."

Shen Lian's smile froze and he quickly retorted.

The Tang Dynasty had few resources, and an emperor had to consider the Cave Mansion's attitude everywhere. Even its neighbor was the dreaded Lion Camel Ridge.

Are you dissatisfied with living too happily?
"I will inform the court. Take care, Master Shen."

Shen Lian mentioned to Zuo Yan the matter of teaching Li Huan martial arts, then returned to the pawnshop and took advantage of his free time to cut leeks in various caves.

With the cooperation of the ghost girl, Shen Lian's ghost gourd soon contained thousands of kilograms of medicinal wine, which should be enough for him to practice to the perfection of the seventh level of Dao Infant.

Two days later.

Six yamen runners escorted the carriage towards the capital.

Shen Lian sat cross-legged in the carriage, circulating his energy to impact the fifth level of Dao Infant Realm. His cultivation, which had been stagnant for more than half a year, finally showed a significant improvement.

Even though there were only a few people, the scene was more "vigorous" than one might imagine.

Because it is far away from Yanliang Town, warriors will inevitably attract a few low-level monsters on the way.

Fortunately, the carriage was protected by a magic talisman, so no demons dared to attack and kill it. They just followed behind, and their numbers... kept increasing.

When a person travels, demons travel with him, and there are four ghosts and gods to protect him.
