I can't be a demon.

Chapter 342: Eagle Sorrow Gorge and Realm Breakthrough
Gao Laozhuang is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and the continuous rain never stops.

Every household was decorated with red silk and hung with lanterns with human heads saying "Happy New Year", which showed that the next wedding in the Gao family was not far away.

No outsiders have entered the cave yet, so the so-called paradise is just like this.

Three days passed quietly.

Shen Lian did not explore Gao Village, but just stayed in the Ghost Pawnshop to practice.

Even though he was always uneasy, it did not affect the efficiency of his practice at all. The second level of human immortal, the young immortal stage, seemed to be getting closer and closer.

how to say.

Shen Lian even had the illusion that he was about to break out of the egg.

If one delve deeper into the four realms of human immortality, one will find that the steps are not just like the growth process of insects, but one can also vaguely see the hidden adaptation to the new rules of the Way of Heaven.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to advance to the Young Immortal Stage in a few months at most.

Shen Lian was somewhat surprised at the smooth progress of his cultivation. Thinking about it carefully, it should be due to the compensation from career advancement and transformation of his skills.

He couldn't help but become more determined that staying in seclusion in the cave was indeed not suitable for him.

Retreating for four hundred years might allow one to ascend to the earthly immortal realm, but doing things outside for four hundred years might even allow one to step into the legendary celestial immortal realm.

"Besides, I really don't want to be away from home for four hundred years."

"Four hundred years have passed and the world has changed dramatically. Even if my father and his family have lived longer, most of the familiar relatives and friends will die of old age."

Shen Lian touched the few remaining hairs on the back of his head, and the reminder of Bimawen's inauguration appeared again.

In fact, he had already decided to make Bimawen his fifth profession, but the timing was not right and he had not found a suitable foundation.

Shen Lian gazed at the scenery outside the window, which was somewhat similar to Yanliang Town in every way.

There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

No matter what, the Yellow-browed Old Buddha must die. This person's existence is a huge threat, and from the burning fire it can be seen that the Little Leiyin Temple once interfered in Jin Chanzi's affairs.

"Ah~ If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old~~"

The starling flapped its wings and landed on the window. There was a little blood on its claws, and it was obvious that the stupid bird had just had a meal from somewhere.

However, it is only limited to outside the Gao Mansion. After all, Gao Laozhuang is obviously hidden quite deeply.

The experience progress of the Six Paths Ksitigarbha has reached 20% not long ago.

Shen Lian sealed the fingers of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the lotus platform. Once the Six Paths of Ksitigarbha is complete, he can be promoted to the seventh level immediately.

He asked, "Eighth Master, the three days agreed with Senior Sister have passed, but is there still no movement in the Gao Mansion?

"Haha, what a waste of time~"

"Don't talk nonsense. If Senior Sister hadn't helped you, how would you have dealt with the Yellow Eyebrowed Buddha who has achieved great cultivation? You wouldn't even be able to satisfy your hunger."

Although Shen Lian left the Ghost Market, he never lost contact with Gao Qiu.

The influence of Xiao Leiyin Temple in the ghost market has begun to show. With the previous introduction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Eight Divisions have not yet reacted, and thirty-two Bodhisattvas have already appeared in the deep ghost market.

All Bodhisattvas have the cultivation level of earthly immortals, and there are only twenty-seven of the Eight Divisions of Gods in total. It is said that they are only some of the Bodhisattvas in Xiao Leiyin Temple.

Faced with a force whose paper strength was far superior to their own, the Eight Tribes of Ghost City quickly compromised, and the two sides worked together to explore the Old Heaven.

In just three days, the eight tribes of Ghost Market have begun to accept the Little Leiyin Temple.

"A hundred years from now, I wonder how many people will choose to practice Buddhism as well."

Shen Lian learned that there were four Bodhisattvas in charge of the Plague Department, headed by the White Bone Guanyin. Madam White Bone was indeed protecting the Plague Department.

"Myna, please do me a small favor and bring this to Zuo Yan in Yanliang Town."

The myna tilted its head and took a glance. Shen Lian spit out a pill shaped like a night pearl. It was a fake plague pill condensed by the golden body of martial arts.

The fake plague pill contains all the known disease immortal seeds. If a warrior reaches the ninth realm, he can refine the true scriptures by visualizing the plague pill at close range.

"Tell Zuo Yan to place the pill inside the statue of Zhong Kui in the temple. There is no need to send too many people to guard it. It will be difficult for ordinary people and immortals to touch it."

Once the fake plague pill is leaked, the entire Tang Dynasty will probably be engulfed in plague.

Even if a human immortal is infected with a disease, he will lose half his life if he is not careful.

"Wait, there's also a letter home for the old man."

The starling glanced at Shen Lian with disdain, then disappeared into the teleportation tree hole.

The family letter mentioned that Shen Lian was about to go to Penglai overseas to seek the method of becoming an immortal, in order to help the Tang Dynasty escape the disaster it had suffered for thousands of years.

Shen Lian told Shen Hansheng that he had given the latter immortal wine that could prolong his life. His life span had exceeded a thousand years, and that sooner or later the father and son would have a chance to meet again. He hoped that the old man would not blindly strive to reach the realm of martial arts.

He continued to wait patiently, but his mind drifted to Yanliang Town.

Silent all night.

Time quietly came to the fourth day in Gao Laozhuang.

After returning to Gao Laozhuang, Bage handed Shen Hansheng's reply letter back to Shen Lian. The content of the letter was very simple, "Don't catch a cold, remember to eat three meals a day, and be careful of danger outside."

The handwriting was messy, and Shen Hansheng, as a Taoist infant warrior, couldn't even control his strength.

"Hey."

Shen Lian folded the papers and placed them solemnly in the center of the lotus pedestal. He then called out to the starling and planned to use the underground river to reach the sea.

When he walked out of the Pawn Shop, his expression was filled with unconcealable surprise.

The starling's feathers stood upright on its shoulder, and it tilted its head to look outside the store. There was a strange carriage parked on the side of the road.

"Huh? There was no sign, not even my soul noticed anything unusual."

The carriage looked ordinary, with two old horses pulling it. The driver stood still, not revealing any demonic aura.

"Ahem, but is this Mr. Shen that Madam Han mentioned? Get in the car, and I will take you to the coastal area where the four seas converge."

The driver was wrapped tightly, had a fat body, but his breath was extremely weak.

Shen Lian opened the vertical eye between his eyebrows, only to see that the driver's flesh and bones were damaged. He was on the verge of death and his condition was deteriorating.

"I am a rotten manor, and I will not leave Gao Laozhuang after this. If Mr. Shen has any concerns, I will go home."

"It's okay. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Shen Lian did not sense any ill intentions from the driver, and his manas reacted calmly as he turned over and got into the narrow carriage.

The starling stopped making noise and huddled in a corner to rest with its eyes closed.

Click click click.

When the wheels started rolling, they were no longer in Gao Village.

Shen Lian was secretly shocked. The speed of the carriage was even more terrifying than Che Chiguo's escape technique. It would probably take only a few days for them to reach the sea.

The wind howled, mixed with the driver's weak breathing.

Shen Lian smelled a fishy odor unique to wild beasts. The driver did not have any demonic aura, but he was definitely not an ordinary person.

He suppressed all distracting thoughts and circulated the Qi in a circle over and over again. The powerful force washed over his body and soul, and the feeling of being restrained by an insect egg became more and more obvious.

Not long after, he reached the bottleneck of the Immortal Transformation Stage.

"Well……"

Shen Lian groaned. Once he tried to break through the bottleneck, the insect eggs that trapped him began to shrink, and he felt like his body and soul were about to collapse.

He didn't believe in evil and kept trying to ensure that his foundation was solid.

The strength became more refined during the circulation of the Qi, and then gradually exceeded the total amount of the Immortal Transformation Stage, just like a bomb constantly accumulating.

The skin is shrinking on the outside and expanding on the inside, with dense blue veins popping out on the surface of the skin.

The mynah bird was terrified and noticed that Shen Lian's face had turned blue and purple, muffled sounds came from his body from time to time, and blood was flowing from his facial features.

I don't know how long it took. Finally, with a tiny bit of force, the "egg" cracked.

Shen Lian felt a chill down his spine, not only because he was experiencing egg-laying, but also because the Dao rhyme perceived by his soul was becoming unfamiliar.

He felt a chill down his spine, as if he had seen the true Dao for the first time through the mist.

Shen Lian had witnessed the Tiandao many times before. Even though the two Tiandao had strange appearances, the shock they brought was far less obvious than after they hatched from the egg.

Followed by.

An indescribable chill broke out.

The chill swept through his body and soul, and Shen Lian shivered uncontrollably.

He recalled the description of the eight realms of spiritual journey in ancient times. As soon as the soul left the body, the cultivator felt the coldness of being naked. The gentle breeze blew by, almost causing serious damage to the soul.

The driver chuckled, "Master Shen, why do you need to refine the true scriptures? Don't you understand now?"

Shen Lian understood it immediately, and used the chill to deepen the refining of the martial arts immortal seed. Complicated scriptures were revealed inside and outside his body and soul, and the chill that came from contact with the rhythm of the Heavenly Dao was blocked outside.

The driver whipped the horse's buttocks, shook his head and said, "The scriptures are the boat that takes us across the sea of ​​suffering. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and there is no way back."

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen. After today, you can be considered a human immortal."

Shen Lian could hear the complexity of the driver's words. There was a hint of mockery in them, but more of numbness, as if he had seen too many immortals die in the sea of ​​suffering.

"Thank you for the reminder, old man."

[Realm: Human Immortal (Young Immortal)]

[True Scripture: Martial Arts (Medium 28.57%)]

The progress of the true scriptures also increased by 5%. It can be seen that even if there is no innovation in the scriptures, the scriptures will transform as the realm is improved.

"Will it be possible that when one's realm reaches a certain level, the true sutra will naturally allow the body and soul to become a Mahayana Buddhist like the Buddha of Lingshan in the West?"

Shen Lian frowned, but soon calmed down.

If even he cannot avoid the fate of Mahayana Buddhism, then I am afraid no one can transcend it, and all the immortals and Buddhas will be in vain in the end.

"Hey, we're almost at our destination."

The wheels slowed down and the humidity in the air around them increased.

Shen Lian opened his eyes, stuffed the sleepy starling into his sleeve, communicated with the ghost gourd with his soul, and was ready to leave the carriage at any time.

"Master Shen, this place is the junction of two sea areas in the northwest. Although it is within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the people here are fierce and unruly.

"Hahahaha, the coexistence of humans and demons only adds to the chaos."

Shen Lian lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the sky was covered with thick dark clouds. There was a demonic aura mixed in the clouds, and it didn't feel like the mortal world at all.

The bone blade trembled excitedly, making bursts of sword hums.

Among the guardian ghosts and gods, only Bone Blade is still at the fifth level. If one wants to advance to the sixth level, he needs a demon profession involving ferocious beasts as a medium.

There is definitely no shortage of ferocious beasts in the sea area backing onto the Dragon Palace.

"It has been more than three hundred years since the sun came out here. Don't worry about the Yellow-browed Buddha. The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas cannot accommodate a sun."

Shen Lian's heart palpitations that had been following him for the most part dissipated, and his manas no longer gave any warnings.

The carriage traveled along the official road. Reefs could be seen everywhere on the roadside, and the vegetation generally had drooping branches, just like seaweed growing in the sea.

Passersby ignored the carriage and walked with their heads down, sweating all over.

It was clearly late autumn, and the sea breeze was as cold as a knife, but passers-by seemed to be unable to bear the scorching heat and stretched out their hands to block the non-existent sunlight.

Their peculiarities are also very obvious, and each one is more serious than Bai Jinbao.

There is a thin membrane between the five fingers, the gills on the neck are constantly opening and closing, the exposed skin is covered with scales, and occasionally hard horns grow on the forehead.

"The day is the land, the night is the sea."

"Sea people are born to suffer, unable to live in the sea for long, nor can they stay on land for long, just like tree frogs in the woods."

The driver laughed so hard that blood dripped from his mouth and nose.

Shen Lian stared at the towns from far to near. All the buildings were built on the coast, and there were traces of barnacles everywhere on the eaves and walls.

The town is comparable in size to Cangshan Town, with a population of around 80,000.

The carriage entered the city gate in broad daylight.

Shen Lian looked up and noticed a stone tablet at the city gate.

【Eagle Sorrow Stream】

“Eagle Sorrow Stream? It’s actually Little White Dragon’s cave?!!”

Shen Lian had already noticed something unusual, but he didn't expect that Yingchoujian was a town, and not like Gao Laozhuang which was in a closed little world.

Yingchoujian is connected to the outside world, but ordinary people cannot integrate into the town.

The Jinwu Guards once tried to clear out Yingchoujian, but it was said that there were too many dragon monsters in the surrounding area. The campaign lasted only a dozen years before it was over.

After entering the city, the sea breeze is no longer just fishy, ​​but contains the mellow aroma of wine. The streets and alleys of Yingchoujian are lined with all kinds of wine shops.

There are not many customers buying wine, but the wine shops are not closing down.

The carriage stopped at a remote corner of Yingchoujian.

"How is it? Good wine and beautiful scenery. Is Yingchoujian to your liking?"

"Senior is joking."

Shen Lian knew very well that Yingchoujian was not as simple as it seemed. Xiaobailong was also a member of the Journey to the West, and no one knew what his fate would be now.

The driver pointed to a simple shop not far away.

"Mr. Shen, I once lived in Yingchoujian for a while and learned how to make wine from the locals for a few years. My skills were not very satisfactory, but I have kept the wine shop until now."

"You can stay in the shop for now. There will always be a chance to go to the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

After Shen Lian got off the car, he bowed respectfully.

"I see you like wine, why don't you try to brew some?"

The driver spoke in a roundabout way. The shortcut to the Four Seas Dragon Palace should be in Yingchoujian, and he could also find out the current situation of the little white dragon at the same time.

"Let's go."

With a crack of the whip, the carriage disappeared on the busy street.

Shen Lian watched the carriage disappear into thin air, and could not help but mutter to himself, "It was a severely injured ten-thousand-year-old demon in Gao Village."

"Or...Second Brother?"

Shen Lian walked towards the wine shop without knowing why, and used his mind to activate his golden body of martial arts.

The unique appearance of the dragons is no different from the native sea people. With their extraordinary understanding, they learned the dialect of the coastal area in just a few breaths.

"My knowledge of Yingchoujian is really superficial. To be on the safe side, I will stay in the store for the next period of time to practice in seclusion."

Just like the Gao Mansion’s wedding every ten years, the recruitment of sons-in-law in the Kingdom of Women, and the Xieyue Three Heart Cave’s welcoming of disciples from all directions...

Yingchoujian must also have a special season.

“During this period, there is nothing to do.”

Shen Lian was tidying up the old shop. He cleared the weeds in the backyard and set up some magic circles to prevent others from accidentally entering.

Simultaneously.

Shen Lian plans to include the fifth profession in the regulations.

[The Bi Ma Wen occupation has been triggered. You can start the job by spending 20 points]
