I can't be a demon.

Chapter 318: Compassionate Arhat (Two in One)

Shen Lian glanced at Yin Huasheng's body without a trace of pity on his face.

Even if Yin Huasheng felt remorseful before his death, it cannot erase the evil deeds he did and made him a lackey of the Little Leiyin Temple. It is unknown how many monks from the Plague Tribe were influenced by him and began to learn Buddhism.

"No one can be left behind."

Shen Lian needs to use the time flow rate of the deep ghost market to practice and cannot reveal his identity, so the Taoist and Buddhist cultivators must be eliminated.

As for the Nine-Headed Arhat, it should not pose any threat to me.

The Ghost Gate blocks the Yanshan area. The Nine-headed Arhat has no way of knowing what is happening tonight. Now he uses his sword to peel off the refined scriptures.

In mild cases, one may become possessed by demons, and in severe cases, one may lose one's soul.

Shen Lian planned to return to the Plague Department and find another opportunity to get rid of the Nine-Headed Arhat.

"Har~~"

He yawned. The only two cultivators in the ninth realm were killed and the rest of the cultivators had become fish on the chopping board and followed in his footsteps one after another.

The sun was rising slowly, and the ghost gate was beginning to dissipate.

Shen Lian walked into the pawnshop carrying the human skin.

Qingshan was frightened to death and secretly thanked his luck that he had not offended Shen Lian before. Two of the three ninth-level cultivators died and one was injured, and a human skin was peeled off in mid-air.

The shock of a sleepless night is far beyond the ordinary.

"Fellow Daoist Qingshan, you know that I am a member of the Plague Department Daozi, right? It seems that only you and your senior brother are here. If the news leaks out..."

"Will not!"

Qingshan quickly answered, sweat streaming down his forehead.

"I promise, you can rest assured that Fushan will keep his mouth shut."

Qingshan urged his soul to swear an oath to the devil, without any hesitation

Shen Lian nodded.

In fact, even if Daozi's identity is exposed, he has a backup plan. If it doesn't work, he can just sneak into the other seven departments.

With the career panel, it is not difficult to practice the eight kinds of exercises.

He poured a cup of medicinal wine for Qingshan and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Qingshan, what do you think of the [Dojo] I summoned? If the Little Leiyin Temple is born, can it compete with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Qingshan looked around, at the bloody town, the eyes on the walls and ground, and the countless wandering demons.

Not a single word has anything to do with the dojo!
"As long as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not descend... the temple should be able to preserve Yanliang Town."

"What level is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Qingshan hesitated and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know that I have never met Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva directly, but one thing I can be sure of is that the evil Buddha who has attained the status of Bodhisattva has already surpassed the level of earthly gods and immortals."

"Earth Immortal?"

"I'm not sure. Who can know the truth about the Little Leiyin Temple?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. In ancient times, land immortals were called human immortals, and above them were earthly immortals, and the next should be celestial immortals.

Xiao Leiyin Temple is a pirated version of Lingshan Mountain in the West. Is it true that the Bodhisattva has attained the status of an earthly immortal?

What about the Buddhahood? The Yellow Eyebrow Patriarch can’t be a Daluo Jinxian, right? Or a Taiyi Zhenxian, right?

Although after the catastrophe of heaven and earth, as long as you successfully survive the catastrophe, you can make further progress, but wouldn’t the inflation of strength be too exaggerated?
Shen Lian thought about it and felt that it was normal. Zhen Yuanzi achieved the status of Taoist on the first day of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. God knows what his cultivation level is now.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you can actually hide the warriors in the cave, maybe Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will not waste energy paying attention to Yanliang Town."

Qingshan tried to see a trace of solemnity on Shen Lian's face, but he only looked calm and indifferent, and even murderous intent unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

For Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the salt mountain area is a treasure land where blood and food gather.

For Shen Lian, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also an opportunity for Myna to be promoted.

Qingshan added: "The monks who practiced the wet fetus and egg practiced the wet fetus and egg practiced the wet fetus and egg practice, all of whom relied on the true scriptures given by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to enter the Buddhist Dharma. There is a saying that the evil Buddhas of the Little Leiyin Temple are all incarnations of Mahayana Buddhism."

"Oh."

Shen Lian took a sip of the wine and played with the skin of the headless arhat.

Most of the monks in the city died. In order to prevent them from being resurrected by the burning fire, they were thrown into the banyan tree before they died and digested.

As a result, none of the corpses produced the fruit of the true scripture.

From this we can see that the true scriptures refined by the monks must have flaws.

Shen Lian had come into contact with the true scriptures. This thing that looked like a mosquito larva had extremely strong vitality.

The true scripture can exist for a long time even if the host dies, and can even continue to reproduce. The true scripture in the monk's body is just the opposite.

They inserted Buddha's fingers between their brows and lit cigarettes, on the one hand to prevent the scriptures from getting out of control, on the other hand, the scriptures seemed to need the nutrients provided by the Buddha's fingers.

Shen Lian suspected that the Little Leiyin Temple was the same as in the original work.

What you get is false Mahayana Buddhism.

"The scripture sealed in human skin seems a little inactive. It feels like it will be a waste of time to breed the elixir fruit. I'll give it to you."

Shen Lian rolled up the human skin and threw it to the hungry Dragon Fish Robe on his shoulder.

He swallowed the dragon fish robe whole, and the damaged parts quickly recovered. Accompanied by a brilliant Buddha light, Sanskrit words were completing the robe inside and outside.

If the progress of the Ghost Gourd's promotion to a treasure is 60%, then the Dragon Fish Robe is 90%.

When the Tathagata Fruit matures, the Dragon Fish Robe will naturally be promoted to a treasure.

"It's almost time to close the dojo."

Shen Lian tapped his brows, and quietly displayed his fishing skills.

"Photography."

The souls of many monks have turned into demons and have been escorted to the nearby Zhong Kui Temple, which is just right for them to be used to create a new technique.

Qingshan was trembling with fear and could sense the strangeness between Shen Lian's eyebrows.

Yanliang Town became completely silent. More than a dozen Zhong Kui temples were brightly lit, and the sounds of gongs and drums could be faintly heard.

As the fishing ability reaches the sixth level, it will be accompanied by B&B phenomena when it is actively performed.

Qingshan suddenly realized that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva might not be able to control Shen Lian.

It is still too early for the Little Leiyin Temple to be born. As long as Shen Lian can set foot on the land of immortals, he can make use of the Taoist temple to deal with things.

If the demon relying on Shen Lian's power improves significantly, he can even compete with him.

However, it would be a bit difficult for Shen Lian to protect the entire Tang Dynasty.

unless……

Qingshan swallowed, fear in his eyes.

Unless Shen Lian turns the entire Tang Dynasty into a Taoist temple, covered with blood and flesh, the earth opens countless eyes, and mortals who practice martial arts turn into demons.

Why do I feel that Xiao Leiyin Temple is the right side?
"kindness."

Shen Lian groaned, and three new golden body techniques took shape.

[The golden body of a novice monk born from transformation], [the golden body of a novice monk born from the womb], [the golden body of a novice monk born from an egg].

Shen Lian looked at his lower dantian. The [Wet-born Shami Golden Body] had already been perfected. After the four lives were united into one, it should be able to be integrated into the martial arts golden body.

[Do you want to consume 2 points to master the transformation into a golden body of a novice monk?]

"determine."

While Shen Lian was waiting for dawn, he focused his attention on learning the Golden Body Technique.

Qingshan was astonished. He could tell that the technique Shen Lian practiced was related to Buddhism. The latter really did not discriminate between meat and vegetables and was not afraid of going astray at all.

Oh oh oh~~

The rooster crowed.

The flesh and blood of Yanliang Town disappeared, and the protection of the Ghost Mother prevented any casualties among mortals, and even the livestock and wild dogs were safe and sound.

The ghost mother's cultivation level increased by five hundred years unconsciously, probably because she absorbed the leaked qi and blood of the warriors.

The ghost girl waved her hand, and a swarm of poisonous insects swarmed out of the town.

When Ghost Dad returned to the temple, his blood-stained robe showed that he was the one who killed the most people.

The strange dragons died suddenly due to the exhaustion of their lifespans. As the offspring of magical powers, they were originally positioned as disposable puppets.

The two silly fishes came eagerly to ask for credit, and Shen Lian casually fed them a sip of medicinal wine.

The monkeys gathered outside the pawn shop and bandaged each other's wounds.

The monkey group lost twenty to thirty people, mainly because of their radical behavior. The remaining monkeys did not feel sad at all. The jungle law followed in Huaguo Mountain was hundreds or thousands of times more cruel than that in Yanliang Town.

Shen Lian discovered that the monkeys' fist, palm, and stick martial arts were progressing rapidly, and each one seemed to have awakened the genes of their ancestors to fight against the heavenly soldiers.

"Old monkey, pick out twenty young and strong monkeys, and the rest return to Flower-Fruit Mountain."

The old monkey bared his teeth, signaling the monkeys to fight for their own spots. A bloody fight was inevitable, and in the end the twenty monkeys standing got the chance to become immortals.

Qingshan had a complicated expression, he couldn't believe that the monsters in Yanliang Town were so different.

There is a pig-headed Tianpeng who thinks he is a god, a spirit tablet ghost that looks like a ghost in an object, a ghost and a demon with the nature of a child, and a group of ferocious monkeys.

In Qingshan's impression, although the disciples of the Three Immortals of Chechi Kingdom, Tiger, Sheep and Deer, include many demons, if they want to coexist with the mortal world, they need to practice Taoism for decades and suppress the demons calmly.

It can only be said that Shen Lian’s deterrence is far greater than the temptation of blood food.

[Whether to consume 4 points to combine the Golden Body of the Buddhist Novice Monk Born from Wetness and the Golden Body of the Buddhist Novice Born from Transformation]

The two golden bodies were combined into one, and the originally incomplete appearance was completed, especially the hollow interior with some more organs.

"Fellow Daoist Qingshan, there are several alchemists in the various caves who are still alive. Please lead them away from the Yanshan area."

"Row."

Qingshan understood that it was Shen Lian who took the initiative to demonstrate the strength of Lu Zu Temple last night, so it was normal to let go of a few alchemists who were not causing trouble.

After all, this feat needs to be witnessed by spectators.

"Hey, Ban Changmao is not dead?"

Qingshan noticed that Ban Changmao was in a daze, but the latter listened to the advice and did not get involved with the warriors, thus escaping the disaster.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I'll go first."

"Walk slowly without sending."

Shen Lian was basking in the sun under a tree, and Yanliang Town became bustling again.

From the pawnshop came the voice of Shen Hansheng greeting customers to come in. Street vendors hurriedly grabbed positions and the sound of hawking could be heard.

There were also singers in the teahouse singing loudly, which attracted countless cheers.

"A hundred years of time is just a dream of a butterfly. Looking back at the past, I feel sad. Today is spring, tomorrow the flowers will wither. I hurriedly light a lamp at night..."

While Shen Lian was investing points into his career panel, he was humming along with the drama.

Qingshan looked back.

The Great Immortal Huli once speculated that Shen Lian chose Yanliang Town as the place of reincarnation, probably because there was hidden fortune here.

Qingshan understood belatedly why Shen Lian would rather offend Xiao Leiyin Temple than save the Tang Dynasty. It was purely because Shen Lian wanted to preserve the mundane world.

He looked dazed, recalling the time hundreds of years ago when he was learning to read and write.

Indeed.

If the Tang Dynasty were to fall, and the mortal world were to become completely consumed by blood, the world would be too boring.

Qingshan thought that he could not reach Shen Lian's level, so he couldn't help but feel respect for him and bought a string of candied haws from a street vendor.

"No matter what kind of Taoism it is, there is indeed no martial arts that is suitable for ordinary people."

"It unclogs the meridians, increases strength, prevents disease, and prolongs life."

"As a living immortal or Buddha, perhaps he cannot let go of the mundane world after reincarnation?"

………Shen Lian did not rush back to the Taoist temple and continued to stay in the mortal world for two days.

The main purpose is to prevent omissions.

As a result, the reactions from various forces were mediocre, and all the disciples sent by Panhuan Cave and Sihai Dragon Palace were killed, but they had no intention of holding anyone accountable.

"I guess we are still waiting for the reaction from Little Leiyin Temple. There won't be any results for the time being."

Shen Lian didn't think that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could organize another large-scale attack. Before the Little Leiyin Temple was built, the immortals on land would probably not be able to leave the cave, and the eighth and ninth realms were meaningless.

He stood up and ended his retreat, and the four golden bodies had already been integrated.

Unexpectedly, the golden body that was formed was still not complete, and the fetal moisture turning into an egg only completed the internal organs of the golden body.

The novice monk's golden body was still skinny and there was a shallow crack on his back.

Unlike ordinary golden bodies, the surface of the novice monk's golden body has dark golden scriptures, but the words are a bit incomplete.

【Ci Di Luo Han fruit position (fake)】

[The Arhat fruit position (fake) of Xiao Leiyin Temple condensed by Shen Lian represents the rank among the evil Buddhas. After one step further, it will transform into the fruit position of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (fake). 】

"It is said to be a fruit position, which is probably a status symbol recognized by the Little Leiyin Temple."

"In this case, wouldn't I be considered one of the Arhats under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? If I were to be promoted again, I would take Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's place."

Shen Lian communicated with the Arhat of Compassion and found it difficult to mobilize his golden body.

He hesitated for a few moments and did not integrate the Ci Di Arhat status into the golden body of martial arts. If possible, it was necessary to continue to advance upwards, and the status might have some hidden disadvantages.

As long as it doesn't blend in, it will be much easier to peel off.

Shen Lian continued to suppress his fruit position in the center of the lotus platform, then set out to leave the mortal world, and his soul communicated with the many demons who were traveling with him.

He leaned over and crawled into the tree hole, and in the blink of an eye he was back in the old alchemy room.

Only four or five days passed in the outside world, but two months had passed for Chi Ming and Yang Tian. During this period, only Gao Qiu would occasionally enter and leave the old alchemy room.

Shen Lian glanced around the Taoist temple, and it seemed a little deserted everywhere.

A large number of disciples are in seclusion in the Taoist temple.

They seemed to be preparing for the outer sect competition. After all, only by advancing to the inner sect would they have the resources to try to break through to become land immortals.

"Heh, the number of monks who have temple monks in their bodies has increased again."

"I'm afraid that after some time, we won't see any pure Plague Cult monks anymore."

Shen Lian had no interest in interfering with the Plague Department, so he contacted Elder Feng Jing via telepathy.

Elder Feng Jing was not in the Daohan Temple. When he learned that Shen Lian had come out of retreat, he immediately rushed over with a simple response, his words full of solemnity.

"Is it that the previous incident with the temple monks has not yet been resolved, or is there another disaster?"

Shen Lian secretly used his magical power of food supplement, and the taste of the headless arhat's soul was in Chi Ming and Yang Tian, ​​but not in the Wanhan Taoist Temple.

Judging from the activity level of his primordial spirit, the life of the Headless Arhat should be safe.

"I'm lucky that my foundation has not been completely destroyed due to lack of the true scriptures."

Shen Lian did not think that a stray dog ​​was a threat. He concentrated on practicing martial arts plague pills, while his soul communicated with the teleportation tree.

The roots of the teleportation tree broke through the ground, and demons such as Ghost Dad swarmed into the old alchemy room.

The Ghost Father's taboos shroud the back mountain, and the demons have lost their traces. Even if you get close, you may not be able to detect the demons' looming breath.

Two days later.

The sound of breaking through the air came.

Elder Feng Jing went straight to the old alchemy room without stopping, his hair a little disheveled.

He arrived at the courtyard, and his soul left his body in confusion. He then noticed that there were several demons in the dark that frightened him.

Elder Feng Jing had noticed it before, but when he saw that Nuoxian had no reaction, he didn't care and didn't ask Shen Lian about the origins of the monster.

Who would have thought that the demons protecting the heavenly plague were all very powerful.

What is this? A guardian spirit?
"Elder Feng Jing, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Elder Feng Jing came back to his senses. "You have been in the old alchemy room recently. Haven't you heard the rumors about the [Blood Corruption Taoist Temple]?"

"What rumors?"

Elder Feng Jing said coldly: "Another Taoist from the Plague Department."

Shen Lian had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "I don't understand, how did the Plague Department Daozi of the Blood Corruption Daoist Academy involve me? Can only one Daozi of the same generation survive?"

Elder Feng Jing was very disappointed, "That's a dispute over orthodoxy and resources!"

"His aptitude is not inferior to yours. He has already reached the eighth realm in a short period of time. It won't be a problem for him to advance to the ninth realm before the outer sect competition."

Shen Lian seemed to be thinking about something. "Is it a new Daozi who appeared within two months?"

"kindness."

Elder Feng Jing's chest rose and fell, and he lowered his voice and said, "I went to the Blood Corruption Taoist Temple just to see this person's lineup. His Taoist name is [Add Longevity], and he is more terrifying than I imagined."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and guessed who Tianshou was who suddenly appeared.

Elder Feng Jing explained: "Not only does he have outstanding aptitude for practicing the Plague Department's skills, he is also born with the appearance of a Buddha. The Buddhist skills he practices are also not simple, and he has already condensed [Relics]."

Shen Lian was sure that Tianshou was the Headless Arhat in disguise.

After the true scriptures were stripped away, the Headless Arhat could only contact the immortal seeds in order to stabilize his body and soul. He obviously deliberately created an identity as a Taoist of the Plague Department.

In the future, Ergouzi will definitely bring Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Tian Wen, many cultivators have already regarded you and Tian Shou as a dispute over the orthodoxy of the Plague Department. If you lose the outer sect competition, the Plague Department may have to become a subsidiary of the Little Leiyin Temple."

Elder Fengjing never thought of practicing Buddhism, even though he went astray and became a Nuo immortal.

However, as some monks used the relics to transform themselves into immortals, the voices of practicing Buddhism at the same time became increasingly louder, and there were countless people waiting and watching.

"Elder Feng Jing, will the other seven tribes allow the Little Leiyin Temple to invade the Plague Tribe?"

"Who knows what the true gods are thinking?"

Elder Feng Jing showed helplessness. The residence of the Eight Gods was at the end of the Ghost Market, very close to the Old Heaven, and they seldom cared about the outer sect.

Perhaps what seems like a big deal to you may be just a drop in the ocean to a righteous god.

"Elder, what is the outer sect competition all about?"

"It is usually held in the ruins of the old heaven. I have inquired from many sources and found that this outer sect competition will be held in the Prison Immortal Room of the Plague Department of the old heaven."

"Immortal Prison Chamber..."

Shen Lian was very familiar with this. Li Liuru was imprisoned in the Immortal Prison Room before the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

"It is only a part of the Plague Department's Prison Immortal Chamber. It is a fragment of the old Heavenly Palace. It is likely filled with unspeakable evil and weirdness."

The outer sect competition of the Eight Tribes in Ghost Market is not a "competition" in the conventional sense, but more like raising Gu, and the various ruins of the old Heavenly Palace are Gu altars.

Shen Lian became interested. When the Peach Tree became diseased on the eve of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, many monks from the Plague Department went crazy after accidentally coming into contact with it.

They were all imprisoned in the Immortal Prison Room, and only Li Liuru managed to escape.

"The outer sect competition is still a few years away."

"More than seven years."

"Got it. I won't let Wushou...Tianshou survive the outer sect competition."

Elder Feng Jing couldn't help but shudder when he saw Shen Lian's ferocious smile.

Shen Lian continued to ask for a long time, mainly about promotion to land immortals. Generally, after being promoted to the inner sect, one has to apply for resources to transform into an immortal.

He planned to use the Martial Arts Plague Pill to achieve immortality on earth first, naturally the sooner the better.

Elder Feng Jing did not disturb Shen Lian's retreat. After confirming that Shen Lian was missing a few spiritual ingredients, he took the initiative to go to other Taoist temples and markets to look for them.

Not long after, with the help of Elder Gao Qiu and Elder Feng Jing, the pill recipes were gradually put together.

Shen Lian's Eighth Realm is the Plague Pill integrated with five types of pathogenic bacteria and immortal species. The original plan was for the Ninth Realm to have ten types, but later it was simply changed to fourteen types.

The fourteen categories of diseases cover almost all major categories.

These include diseases of the six internal organs, blood, limbs, and brain, including highly contagious plagues and highly mutagenic colds.

Jade Rabbit started to cook the medicine with great interest, still following the familiar steps of alchemy.

There was no order of priority for the fourteen types of pill recipes. They were all poured into the tripod and stirred gently, and the medicine liquid emitted a shrill wail.

Shen Lian felt horrified. The eaves of the alchemy room were corroded with large holes.

"Jade Rabbit, if anything happens to me, rescue me immediately."

"Small idea!"

Jade Rabbit immersed itself in the bubbling medicinal liquid without even turning its head. Anyone who smelled the odor would immediately become uncontrollably ill and die suddenly.

Shen Lian threw himself into the tripod with a wry smile, and his flesh and blood shrank the moment he came into contact with the liquid medicine.

The body and soul didn't put up any resistance and were on the verge of death in less than half a breath.

It's all thanks to the lotus platform that he has managed to protect his remaining life.

Shen Lian's scalp was tingling, and he was completely focused on completing his addiction seed. As he breathed in and out through his mouth and nose, a huge amount of mayfly-like scriptures were constantly being swallowed and spit out.

The disease sac that wrapped the plague pill turned into pus because it could not withstand the erosion of bacteria. The martial arts plague pill was exposed, causing the internal organs to breed bacteria and the sacral bone to be riddled with holes bit by bit.

Shen Lian almost flipped out the tripod.

But he had a hunch that as long as he could successfully complete the completion, a complete sentence of the true scripture should be able to be born in the Martial Arts Plague Pill.

Only then can I be said to have taken the first step towards creating my own true scriptures.

"Die, die, from death to life."

"Anyway, the purpose of the ninth level of the Plague Department's training is to allow the germs to take over the body and soul. In a sense, I am also reaching the same goal by a different route."

Shen Lian completely gave up resistance and used his food-replenishing ability to digest the bacteria.

Every time a trace of germs is digested, the adaptability of the body and soul increases.

It is definitely a painstaking process.

Fortunately, the outer sect competition is still early, and there is no need to worry about the flow of time in the deep ghost market and the emergence of the Little Leiyin Temple, so I can devote myself to it.

boom.

The lid of the tripod was closed and the body of the tripod shook slightly.

.........

Xiaoleiyin Temple.

The Ksitigarbha Temple with its blood-stained walls and black bricks looked extremely grand, but its doors and windows were tightly closed, and blood had been splashed on them to form a thick layer of dirt.

The hall was pitch black.

In the center is a 100-meter golden statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, accompanied by 15 bronze statues of Arhats. In front of the altar are countless clay sculptures of monks.

Click click click.

The bronze statue of the four arhats on the right fell apart.

Suddenly, a conversation broke out among the motionless clay sculptures.

"Another lower seven arhat died, and there was no time to revive."

"Wushou is about to fall out of the Fourteen Arhats."

"It doesn't matter if the lower seven arhats are killed or injured, but who are the extra upper seven arhats?"

There should be fourteen arhats in the Ksitigarbha Temple, but a bronze statue was added at some point.

The image of the new arhat is rather vague, with his Buddhist name [Ci Di Arhat] engraved on the bottom.
