I can't be a demon.

Chapter 287 Sixth-level Occupation [Unbounded Corpse Tree]

Just after the hot summer, it is the autumn harvest season in September.

Unlike in the past, the temperature, which should have been suitable, has unknowingly approached freezing point, and it already feels like deep winter shortly after the beginning of autumn.

And similar phenomena only occur in the Yanshan area.

Fortunately, everyone in the nation practiced martial arts, and even young children could play outside in single clothes. The crops had also been harvested and sorted early.

“Something is wrong.”

After Zuo Yan finished reading the files compiled from various towns, he felt that a storm was about to come.

He let three alchemists, Li Shun, Zhu Yihong and Wang Xin, guard the remaining towns in Yanshan, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

"It will take at least seven or eight years for the Little Leiyin Temple to be born, so why are there clues everywhere?"

Zuo Yan left the government office in annoyance and wandered aimlessly in Yanliang Town.

The cold wind blew in our faces, mixed with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and people complaining to each other. This year's winter came too early.

Zuo Yan pondered the information he saw in the file.

Although the "Mountain Moving Case" was settled not long ago and there was no further mountain revitalization, an investigation by the government found that the Mountain Moving Case was far more complicated than imagined.

Not only the Yanshan Mountains, but a total of six mountain ranges have seen mountain revitalization.

If marked on a map, the six mountain ranges are located in various directions of the salt mountain, involving thirty-seven towns and nearly two hundred villages.

According to the miners' description, the meat mountain was filled with corpses.

If this is true, there are at least tens of millions of bodies in all the mountains combined, which is ten times the total population of the towns involved.

It's incredible, what kind of grand occasion is the Little Leiyin Temple? ! !

It is still too early for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to be born now, and just the fact that Di Ting has given rise to such a foreshadowing, it is hard to imagine what kind of chaos the demons will cause in a few years.

Zuo Yan had been wandering in the mountains for more than half a month, but had never seen the mountains come alive.

The existing clues were also provided by mortals.

Zuo Yan felt extremely powerless. He originally thought that he was only half a step away from reaching the eighth realm of the divine journey and would be able to move freely in any cave he faced.

"Alas, what can we do? Mortals are mortals after all."

"Mynah bird has disappeared recently, and the mountain god (banyan tree) is apparently sleeping. I hope Yanshan will not be in danger, otherwise..."

Zuo Yan gave up the idea.

Even if the main guardian ghosts and gods are not here, the other ghosts and gods are all very powerful.

The True Lord who sits in the Zhong Kui Temple had recently reached the level of 4,000 years of Taoism, and Shen Lian’s two godsisters had reached the level of Taoism of at least 3,000 years.

Even the two fish spirits in the pawnshop courtyard are evil spirits.

Zuo Yan stopped and before he knew it, the sky had darkened.

The full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the streets and alleys were still brightly lit, but a thin layer of frost had formed on the ground.

He looked stunned as he looked at Lantian Street not far away.

Perhaps because he had been thinking about the mountain-moving case, Zuo Yan instinctively came to the entrance of the former ghost market.

There hasn't been a ghost market in Yanshan for several years, mainly because when Mynah Brother embarked on the Ten Thousand Year Dao, he cleared out all the ghost markets within a thousand miles.

"Master Shen mentioned that the meat mountain is likely hidden deep in the ghost market."

"There are quite a few Jinwu Guards stationed at the first two levels by the government. None of them noticed anything unusual about the ghost market. I don't know if it's true or not."

Zuo Yan looked up at the full moon, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. The entrances and exits of the ghost market are usually open on the fifteenth of every month.

Tonight...isn’t it September 15th?
Zuo Yan's heart was beating wildly, and the Taoist infant in his Dantian kept giving warnings.

The cold wind was howling, and a little snow was falling. The temperature dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching freezing point within a few breaths.

The cold wind blowing in our faces caused fog and frost to form on the ground.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Zuo Yan quickly took out the token and was about to notify the local Jinwu Guards to evacuate the people when suddenly a strange smell came with the cold wind.

It's similar to the stench of a corpse, mixed with the pungent smell of decaying mold.

Rumble.

Zuo Yan saw with his own eyes that white bones were squeezed out from the ground drill. Countless bones were pieced together and in a short time they were combined into a giant door.

【Ghost Market】 is open.

Unlike the ghost market in my impression, it seems extremely lonely inside.

There was no market, no ransom ghosts, and even fewer Jinwu Guards coming and going. Inside the White Bone Gate, there were only endless piles of bones.

While Zuo Yan was in a daze, all the houses were covered in silver.

"Cough cough cough."

Coughing sounds were heard all over Lantian Street at the same time. Regardless of whether they practiced martial arts or not, people were all infected with the cold at the same time.

Soon after, the streets across from Lantian Street also began to be infected with the cold.

Zuo Yan retreated again and again, the cold wind spread along the street, and at the same time, people who were infected with the disease were coughing and had strange symptoms.

The pupils were bloodshot, the skin began to become red and swollen, and the tongue coating turned black.

They covered their heads as if they were in splitting pain.

Zuo Yan took a deep breath. The entrance and exit of the ghost market in front of him was definitely not simple. It might even lead directly to the deeper levels.

He rushed towards the nearest person, staring at the moment when the latter was infected with a cold.

The left pupil is constricted.

The people felt as if a demon's aura had entered their bodies. They could clearly feel their breathing stagnate, and then the disease spread from the head to the body and limbs.

As his head was filled with cold wind, his face became extremely hideous.

Before Zuo Yan could bend down to check, an indescribable chill penetrated his mouth and nose, and rushed straight into the Niwan Palace, as if... as if he was being possessed by another spirit, the pain was beyond words.

He fell to his knees, unable to muster any strength.

The problem is that there is no demonic aura inside or outside.
Resentment rose up from the Zhong Kui Temple. Ghost Dad held the Nine-toothed Rake in his hand and flew into the air, transforming into Lord Tianpeng and appearing out of nowhere.

"Disperse!"

The Nine-toothed Rake smashed hard, forcing Han Feng to return to the entrance of the Ghost Market.

The ghost girl was full of worry and shook Yutu's shoulders, "Sister Yutu, please help Daddy."

"Yes, I am the elder sister!"

The Jade Rabbit proudly picked up a handful of branches, and after using his magical powers, the branches turned into radishes, with a rich medicinal fragrance filling the air.

"Nian'er, catch the two fat fish in the pond."

"got it."

She found the tools from somewhere, sat cross-legged and started pounding the medicine.

It can be seen that the Jade Rabbit's Taoism has just recovered to about 7,000 years, and its heyday must have been more than 10,000 years, or even more than 20,000 years.

After a while, Nian'er came back holding the tails of two silly fish.

"Sister, how should I kill her?"

Ba Boerben was trembling with fear, and Bo Bangerba quickly said, "My two kings, we have risked our lives for the young master, please don't kill us!"

Nian'er shook his head, and several clones stretched out their hands to gesture.

"Don't make trouble."

Jade Rabbit grabbed two silly fish and stuffed radish powder into their mouths.

"Don't eat it. If you do, I'll turn you into radishes."

"We will do whatever you tell us to do, my king."

"Okay, you go and kill the demons that are haunting the ghost market." Jade Rabbit looked at the two stupid fishes looking at each other, and Carrot knocked his head hard.

"Make it rain in Yanliang Town, you hear me?"

The two silly fish nodded repeatedly, then water vapor began to rise, the fragrance of medicine mixed with raindrops enveloped the whole body, and the dying people recovered one after another.

The Jade Rabbit continued to mix the radishes, humming a distorted song with complacency.

.........

Blood was oozing from Zuo Yan's facial features and the severe headache was mostly relieved. His first reaction after waking up was to approach the entrance and exit of the ghost market.

His whole body ached, his muscles seemed to be dissolved, and he could only crawl forward using his hands and feet.

"Will the birth of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva affect the Ghost Market? If the two caves attack at the same time, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed in an instant!!"

"Cough cough cough."

Within ten meters of the entrance, I felt the cold coming back.

Zuo Yan endured the physical and mental torture and took several pills to improve his eyesight, hoping to see clearly the truth in the strange ghost market.

The heavy snow obscured most of the street view.

Zuo Yan tried his best to digest the medicine, and soon a distorted figure came into his sight.

The figure's appearance was slightly deformed, with messy long hair the color of cinnabar, a lotus crown on his head, a face as blue-gray as a copper coin, and a huge mouth with fangs.

His hands hang down to the ground, and his clothes are like Taoist robes.
The strange Taoist priest tilted his head and kept tapping his head with his fingers. Suddenly, gusts of cold wind blew out of his mouth, disturbing the people in the city.

Zuo Yan didn't understand why, as he had never come across such a Taoist priest before.

Are there disciples in the Ghost Market?
But isn’t the ghost market full of ghosts ransomware? Where does the Taoist tradition come from?
The strange Taoist priest was obviously testing Yanliang Town. He nodded slightly occasionally, and then stared thoughtfully at the banyan tree in the backyard of the pawn shop.

He clapped his hands together, and the cold wind he exhaled became stronger and stronger.

The strange Taoist priest had already anticipated that Ghost Dad and others would take action. The second gust of cold wind quietly bypassed the block where they were and blew straight towards the banyan tree.

"not good!"

"The mountain god is very likely undergoing a transformation, so we must not let him affect the guardian ghosts and gods!"

Zuo Yan tried desperately to stand up, trying to block the cold wind with his body, but the strange Taoist priest was not at all moved by Zuo Yan's actions.

The cold wind penetrates the body.

The blood vessels on Zuo Yan's forehead burst and his brain almost turned into paste.

Before he passed out, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the strange Taoist sighed with regret, stopped spitting out cold air, and turned around to disappear into the ghost market.

"I... blocked it?"

boom! ! !
In an instant, the roots of countless banyan trees broke through the ground.

The roots blocked out the sky and the sun, covering an area of ​​two to three thousand miles. The demonic energy of twenty thousand years of Taoism dyed the sky dark. At the same time, the branches of the roots slowly spread throughout the entire Tang Dynasty.

After being promoted to the sixth level, the range covered by the banyan tree is no longer limited.

Even though the roots don't grow very fast, one can still see the terrifying power of the banyan tree.

Wherever the roots are, it is the [Boundless Tree Realm] of my mountain god!!!
The cold in people's bodies dissipated completely, and then the roots penetrated into the entrances and exits of the Ghost Market.

Zuo Yan's condition was also getting better, and he quickly said, "Mountain God, leave some of the wind and cold seeds. I want to show them to Master Shen."

The banyan tree gave Zuo Yan a medicinal power that protected his body and soul.

The roots were churning in the ghost market, and countless ghosts became their nutrients. It lasted for two days before they were withdrawn, and Yanliang Town returned to peace.

The entrance and exit of the ghost market are nowhere to be found, but there is a teleportation tree growing in the courtyard.

The starling landed on the top of the banyan tree, its beak revealing a sneer, as if it was deliberately hiding itself, just waiting for the pirated Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to be born.

The third brother was promoted first, while the eldest brother was still stuck at level five, so he was naturally unwilling to accept this.

half a month later.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and a prompt appeared on the career panel.

[Infinite Corpse Root promoted to Infinite Corpse Tree, martial arts points +200]
