I can't be a demon.

Chapter 222 Lu Zuguan is born!
Yanshankou is the only way in and out of the Yanshan Mountains.

With the rise of towns in the Yanshan area, caravans entering and leaving Yanshankou became more and more frequent, and it had unknowingly become famous.

It is called the "place where martial arts are taught."

In March, most of the snow at Yanshankou melted.

The convoys traveling on the official road noticed that nearly a hundred people had gathered at the post station, most of whom were elite officers and soldiers wearing armor.

The twelve Jinwu Guards were scattered throughout the post station, looking towards Yanshankou with serious expressions.

"Captain Ye, do you know what Prince Li Huan is up to? Could it be that he has figured it out and plans to join Panhuan Cave?"

Ding Jin watched the caravans coming and going. Two streams of hot air blew out of his lion's nose. His entire body was covered with fur, and his hands showed sharp claws.

It can be clearly seen that the internal energy he practiced is related to one of the seven lions in Panhuan Cave.

"Perhaps the prince has already obtained immortal fate in Yanshan. The descendants of their Li family are all born immortals and are the disciples that each cave abode is vying for."

Ye Lan is also a captain in the Jinwu Guard, and his internal skills also belong to Panhuan Cave. However, his special features are not obvious. His black hair is just slightly yellowish and his pupils are dark gold.

Compared to Ding Jin, who is nearly a hundred years old, Ye Lan is just in her early thirties.

She looks like a beautiful girl from a small family. Even if she has not entered the immortal cave, with Ye Lan's outstanding talent, she still has a place in the Jinwu Guard.

"Xianyuan..."

A hint of jealousy flashed in Ding Jin's eyes as he looked at the silent mountains.

The immortal fate that they had been longing for was just an ordinary thing in front of the Li family, and most of the princes and princesses could successfully enter the various caves.

Ye Lan was right, the Li family was clearly born with immortality!!!
"You mean the Lü Zu Temple? I don't know the size of the cave."

"Yes, Lu Zuguan."

Not long ago, Ding Jin still doubted the existence of Lu Zu Temple, because according to the clues collected by the Jinwu Guards, there was no strong demonic aura in the Yanshan area, and it was not a small world-like Taoist temple.

Lu Zu Temple does not meet any characteristics of an immortal cave.

The news coming out of Yanshan area is even more difficult to tell whether it is true or false, such as the reincarnation of immortals and Buddhas, the reincarnation of Lu Zu, and Zhong Kui protecting the towns in all directions...

In Ding Jin's opinion, the miscellaneous information had no connection at all.

But now I dare not doubt it.

He recalled the earth-shaking vision some time ago. The eighteen levels of hell covered a thousand miles. Even the newly initiated internal martial arts practitioners could sense the terrifying aura of the Salt Mountain in the capital.

"Ye Lan, you and Li Huan are familiar with each other, right?"

Ding Jin rode his horse towards Ye Lan, who said expressionlessly, "I'm not familiar with her."

"Ye Lan, you know how dangerous the change of the Tang Emperor is. We, the Jinwu Guards, will have to take sides sooner or later. If the Lü Zu Temple has a deep foundation, why don't you help me introduce it to them..."

Ye Lan frowned slightly.

I have the impression that Li Huan is a coward, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to flee the capital.

There are undercurrents in the capital city now, so why would Li Huan return in such a high-profile manner? Could it be that the appearance of Lu Zuguan is just to build momentum for him?

Ding Jin was about to say something else when he suddenly sensed a looming demonic aura.

He frowned and looked towards the end of the official road, only to see a carriage with the imperial emblem approaching, with six innate warriors guarding it.

Immediately afterwards, pairs of eyes lit up in the surrounding mountains and forests.

The wolves were staring at the carriage, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths. They seemed to be coveting the innate warrior, but in fact they were mainly after the carriage.

A strong wind blew, and the curtain at the entrance of the carriage swayed slightly.

Everyone saw a strange scene.

A man was sitting in the carriage with a small and exquisite stove in front of him and a purple clay teapot boiling a cup of orange tea produced in Yanshan.

It also comes with various nuts, sweet potatoes, etc., which are full of fragrance.

The crow perched on my shoulder, occasionally picking up a few nuts to share. When it was full, it collapsed to the ground, closed its eyes and fell asleep comfortably.

"Is it Li Huan?"

Ding Jin grinned as if he had seen a funny joke.

"How did he become a warrior? It can't be that the Taoist tradition of Lu Zu Temple is the martial arts, right? Or was he driven out of the cave by Lu Zu Temple?"

Ye Lan didn't reply, her brows tightly furrowed.

No matter how many times the spiritual sense swept over him, Li Huan exuded strength all over his body, and it was very likely that he had reached the level of Yuandan, proving that the seventy-first prince had indeed practiced martial arts in Lu Zu Temple for many years.

But if he was just a Yuandan warrior, why would he need to wade into the muddy waters of the capital?
Ho ho ho! ! !
As the carriage drove away from Yanshankou, the wolves became obviously impatient.

The wolf pack's average age is around thirty years, except for the leader who is over a hundred years old. However, they can already smell the sweet blood emanating from men.

Eat him! Eat him and you can go one step further!!

The wolves left the cover of the grass and trees and began to approach the carriage.

The six innate warriors felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, but they showed no fear.

Ding Jin stayed where he was and signaled the other Jinwu Guards to move. He was filled with doubts as to why Li Huan was practicing martial arts.

Everyone in the Li family is born an immortal, so why would they choose martial arts?

"It seems that Li Huan gained nothing in Lu Zu Temple and plans to return to the capital to look for the orthodoxy again."

"But it's too late. It's destined to be difficult to achieve anything after becoming a disciple of an immortal family."

Ding Jin couldn't help but lose interest. He really didn't want to continue wasting time, so he ignored the other Jinwu Guards and disappeared in a streak of light.

Ye Lan glanced at Ding Jin and ran towards the carriage patiently.

"Support the prince! Remember, do not disturb the carriage."

"Six warriors should not be able to stop the wolves for too long. Ding Yong, let the officers and soldiers cooperate with us to block the wolves' retreat..."

at the same time.

When the wolves spotted the Jinwu Guards, they did not retreat but rushed forward one after another for fear of missing out on the blood food in the carriage.

The stench of the demons hits them in the face, and the innate warriors can't help but feel fear.

Shen Lian looked out the window, tapping the wooden board with his knuckles. The martial arts talent of the yamen runners selected by Zuo Yan was unquestionable, and after receiving martial arts training many times, their strength was definitely far beyond that of their peers. They were already the best martial artists in Yanshan.

"drink!"

The warriors groaned. Their height did not increase, but their muscles began to swell rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the muscles turned purple, the shirt was torn into pieces, and a hideous ghost face formed on the back, which was the ultimate manifestation of horizontal training.

The moment the warriors came into contact with the wolves, it was a one-sided crushing.

According to common sense, the aura of demons is as poisonous to mortals. Once a warrior is contaminated by it, his qi and blood will inevitably deteriorate.

The performances of the warriors were completely different. The wolf demon's claws were simply unable to break the flesh.

When they chopped hard with their swords, they could see the wolf demon's spine break in two, as if the roles of man and demon had been reversed.

The Jinwu Guards stood in a daze a hundred meters away. This completely overturned their understanding of meat bait.

Roar! ! !
The leader wolf stepped on the corpse of its own kind, pushed away the warriors in an awkward posture, and tried its best to bite Shen Lian who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in the carriage.

Ye Lan inexplicably got goose bumps all over her body.

She noticed that Shen Lian raised his arm. This ordinary action brought her oppression. She didn't know if it was her illusion.

"Lion Needle."

Ye Lan flicked her fingertips, and her internal energy turned into a fine needle that pierced through the wolf.

The leader wolf fell to the ground howling, with most of its flesh and bones rotted away. The remaining wolf monsters immediately fled and were killed one by one by the warriors.

Ye Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Li Huan a warrior or not? I always feel... something is wrong."

Ye Lan didn't know why, but the Dao Infant in her body actually felt a hint of fear when Shen Lian took action, which made her feel confused and uncertain.

Her inner strength involves Fu Li, who is the most perceptive of the seven lions.

Even though I am not an alchemist, my perception will never be wrong.

Ye Lan had a complicated expression on her face. "Your Highness, I was arranged by Lord Ma to wait for you at Yanshankou. I will escort you to the capital next."

"Nice to meet you."

"You shouldn't have come back at this time. You've let down Senior He Zijin's kindness."

"Do you recognize me...Grandpa?"

"Well, noble people tend to forget things. In fact, you and I have met several times. Senior He Zijin was kind to me when I entered Taoism."

Ye Lan looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go to the capital first."

"it is good."

"But you have to be prepared. Once you get involved, it will be very difficult to get out. If you change your mind, just tell me and you can go back to Yanshan."

"Thank you for reminding."

Shen Lian still maintained his neither humble nor arrogant appearance.

Ye Lan was in a trance, and it seemed that Li Huan was completely different from the Li Huan she knew.

The carriage continued on its way.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and circulated the Great Circulation. His strength had already reached the bottleneck of the fifth level of Dao Infant.

He took several gulps of medicinal wine. Thanks to the ghost gourd being promoted to a superior magic weapon, otherwise his cultivation progress would not have been so fast.

pat.

Medicinal wine dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Before it touched the ground, the medicinal wine evaporated and turned into a larva.

Shen Lian reached out and picked up the larva, using his wisdom eye ability.

【Wine bug】

[The inferior poisonous insects cultivated by Nian'er are difficult to transform into monsters. They survive by drinking alcohol and can help make wine. ]

Shen Lian's consciousness swept through the internal space of the ghost gourd, which was filled with a large number of strange and bizarre poisonous insects, the largest number of which were naturally the wine worms.

Nian'er was still working tirelessly, and bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard.

The superior ghost gourd has been completely led astray by the ghost girl, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. After ten days or half a month of accumulation, the medicinal power of ordinary innate medicinal wine can reach the level of Yuandan medicinal wine.

I just feel a little scared when drinking.

After all, there are countless alcohol bug eggs in the alcohol.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and tried to reach the fifth level of Dao Infant.

The team would stop for rest from time to time, and he would ask indirectly about the situation in the capital. It turned out that only the inner city area near the imperial city was occasionally chaotic, while the rest of the place was always peaceful.

It even made Shen Lian doubt whether the capital was still Lion Camel Ridge?
There are twenty or thirty cave forces gathered together, and behind each of them is a peerless demon. And you tell me that people can live and work in peace in the capital.

Could it be that after entering the capital, the peerless demon turned to Buddhism and became a vegetarian?

Two months later.

You can feel that the official road is gradually widening and converging into the busy main road.

Then Chang'an came into view. Even Shen Lian, who had seen the bright lights and feasting in his previous life, could not help but be shocked by the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The scale of the capital was staggering, and the previous estimate of a population of two million was definitely an underestimate.

"This is the Tang Dynasty..."

Shen Lian felt relaxed and happy, and noticed that there was indeed no demonic aura in the capital.

Sudden.

The Purple Mansion Tempering Technique gave rise to a throbbing sensation, and the dream of the old yellow-fanged elephant flashed before his eyes.

Shen Lian's pupils trembled and he stood there in disbelief. The tip of the iceberg revealed in the capital was simply horrifying to the extreme.
