I can't be a demon.

Chapter 343 The Fifth Occupation [Bimawen]

Shen Lian had considered it carefully and decided that it was necessary to take up the fifth profession at present. The surplus of four hundred years would be enough for the new profession to be promoted to the sixth level.

From the current perspective, Yingchoujian is indeed a town where ordinary people gather.

Although Shen Lian already has four professions, the ghosts and gods derived from him each have other uses.

[Listen carefully] Myna, after Shen Lian's situation stabilizes, Myna will inevitably need to go to various caves to devour ghosts and gain experience.

Most of the time, it was impossible for the starling to follow Shen Lian.

[Spiritual Root] Banyan tree, its main body is in Yanliang Town, and it is specifically responsible for guarding the Tang Dynasty and ensuring that the elixir fruit resources can be continuously supplied to itself.

[Buddha's treasure] Lotus platform, its function is to protect the foundation of body and soul and prevent external evil from entering the body.

Moreover, the lotus platform is related to Jin Chanzi. Shen Lian does not want to use it unless he has to, for fear that some flaws will appear in his body and soul.

If you think about it carefully, the only ghost and god that can be summoned at will is the Taotie bone blade.

Shen Lian seemed a little helpless, but the four ghost gods had different focuses. Even the banyan tree far away in Yanliang Town could produce hundreds of elixirs every day by digesting the demons breeding in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

"I don't know what the fifth profession's magical power is?"

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

Bimawen is very special. The name itself refers to an official who raises horses, but since it involves Monkey King, there is a hint of mystery.

"One thing is certain, Bimawen's promotion opportunity is definitely related to Monkey King. Contacting Monkey King's incarnation will lead to promotion."

Shen Lian started working only after cleaning the wine shop.

He was somewhat nervous. When he was working in the fourth profession before, he suffered from cognitive impairment and didn't know what happened.

Now that we can observe the evolution process of ghosts and gods, we naturally pay great attention to it.

"Well?"

Shen Lian had a subtle expression. When the blurred words "Bimawen" appeared on the occupation panel, his manas suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing.

He got up belatedly and opened the creaking window.

The setting sun shines on Yingchou Gorge, causing countless water vapor to swirl on the ground, forming a spectacular sight similar to a dragon sucking water.

At the same time, the aroma of the wine sank, and the fragrance of Yingchoujian became stronger.

Shen Lian looked towards the west. The golden afterglow stained the clouds. At this moment, it looked like the Western Lingshan Mountain recorded in the classics, the Buddhist paradise.

The outline of the Buddha is looming in the clouds, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he is sleeping, or looking down at everything in the world...

"Oh shit."

Shen Lian suppressed his distracting thoughts, and the strange vision disappeared instantly.

He suddenly thought of his senior brother Sha. When Sha Wujing went to the Western Lingshan Mountain, he deliberately sought out the three monsters from the Lion Camel Ridge and the Nine-headed Insect to travel with him.

Now Shen Lian has five professions, which is in line with the four people and one horse on the journey to the West.

This may very likely violate the rules of Lingshan Heavenly Dao.

The Lingshan Heavenly Dao was urging him to travel west to obtain the scriptures.

The excitement was fleeting, and Shen Lian was not too panicked. As long as he wanted to find out the truth about the collapse of the Journey to the West world, he would have to go to the Western Sacred Mountain sooner or later.

For now, I don’t need to set foot in the Western Sacred Mountain.

Shen Lian closed the window. Even if he had to choose again a hundred times, the fifth profession was urgent.

[The Bimawen profession requires the binding of fundamental items within twelve hours]

[The Bimawen profession does not have fundamental qualities and cannot produce magical powers]

Shen Lian pulled out the remaining life-saving hair behind his head without hesitation, and a faint light was revealed, with a Taoist charm overflowing.

Since it is the fundamental thing of Bimawen, nothing is more suitable than hair.

Another hair fell deep into the ruins of the old heaven, attracting the attention of the Yellow-browed Buddha, but it did not mean that the effect of resurrection was lost.

Even if Shen Lian died outside, he could still use the hair to rebuild his body and soul.

"A hair is enough. If you die twice in a row, you can only blame yourself for being too weak."

[Is it confirmed that fine hair is the root substance of Bimawen?]

"determine."

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, his three hearts beating wildly uncontrollably, and he could clearly feel an indescribable evil spirit brewing in his body.

"Ah~"

The mynah bird laughed strangely, celebrating the appearance of its fifth brother.

The bone blade trembled, and the bloody mouth stretched out its tongue to lick the teeth on the blade.

The lotus platform carefully enveloped Shen Lian's body and soul.

Shen Lian covered his chest with his hands, his body and soul emanating an extremely strong demonic aura, and endless black water flowed out from his pores.

"hiss……"

"Is it so simple and crude to breed ghosts and gods in the occupation panel?"

Shen Lian was shocked and confused, the occupation panel was completely a ghost out of thin air.

He noticed that the source of the black water was actually the Golden Body of Martial Arts. Yes, the Golden Body of Martial Arts had transformed into the form of hundreds of demon characteristics.

Forty-two arms were spread out, and an invisible roar echoed in the dantian.

Click click click.

Shen Lian was terrified, fearing that his martial arts golden body would be damaged, but the black water only consumed part of his blood and energy, and it didn't seem to come from his martial arts golden body.

Heishui began to wriggle, looking at everything in the wine shop curiously.

He understood that this thing was the state of a ghost when it was first born, and allowed the black water to flow around its body.

After a while.

The black water was like children who had had enough fun, and they all gathered towards the hair.

Shen Lian stared intently, trying his best to suppress the noise caused by his inauguration, but the wine shop he worked in was in disrepair after all, so it was inevitable that something strange would happen.

He occasionally paid attention to the outside world, but the number of cultivators in Yingchoujian was very small.

The soul had swept through the town before, and it seemed that there were only one or two Yuandan level 6 cultivators. From the surface, Yingchoujian didn't seem to be a demon cave at all.

.........

The South City area is relatively old, and the sea dwellers who travel there are generally poor.

It was getting close to night, and the lights that were always on during the day were extinguished one by one, leaving only pairs of pale green eyes under the faint sunset.

The sea people have serious peculiarities. Although they have disadvantages of varying degrees, they are also born with supernatural powers that ordinary people do not have.

For example, night vision and underwater breathing.

When the Eagle Valley is shrouded in darkness, the sea dwellers are most active.

"Come and take a look at the best material for brewing Bamboo Leaf Green, the Blue Wave Grass!"

The old man carried bundles of water grass on his shoulders and hawked them along the streets of the southern city. Only occasionally could a wine shop sell a few plants of water grass.

As night was about to fall, the humidity in Yingchoujian became more and more intense.

The old man accidentally walked into a remote alley in the southern part of the city. There were few liquor shops here, and continuing to hawk his wares would be a waste of energy.

"Alas, the wine-collecting immortal official has arrived at Yingchoujian, and the wine of every household has been brewed. The wine-making business is going to be difficult."

"Forget it, why not work as a helper in a teahouse for a few days, at least I can earn some money..."

The old man stood there in shock before he could finish his words.

As this was a route he traveled frequently, he went back and forth every day, and he also knew that there was an uninhabited, shabby liquor store at the end of the alley.

For some reason, a candle was lit in the wine shop.

The old man was extremely upset. It seemed like just an ordinary little thing, but it made him inexplicably panic, especially when he noticed that the candle was flickering.

"The tide is about to rise. Aren't you afraid that lighting the lamp now will attract evil spirits?"

The lights in the entire Yingchou Gorge have been extinguished, except for this wine shop which is always lit. The reason why no one noticed is mainly because the wine shop is located in a remote area.

The nearby sea dwellers make a living by fishing at sea and have not yet returned home.

"no!"

"Something bad is going to happen. No lights can be turned on in Yingchoujian!" The old man hurriedly approached the wine shop, intending to ask the residents inside. However, as soon as he got close, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

He looked up at the second floor of the wine shop and witnessed a scene he would never forget.

Black water oozed from the cracks in the wall tiles, like extremely thick blood, and rustling whispers echoed in the old man's ears.

The demonic aura corroded the soul, and countless eyes opened from the black water.

"It's a demon...a demon!!"

The old man turned around and ran away without paying attention to the shoulder pole scattered beside him, as he just wanted to inform the authorities as soon as possible.

It didn't take long.

Because the situation was urgent, a group of detectives quickly surrounded the alley.

Yingchoujian has almost no connection with the outside world, but it still maintains the system of various towns in the Tang Dynasty, and it has been like this for hundreds of years.

The constables were on high alert, and the county magistrate, who was more than three meters tall, pushed through the crowd and walked out.

The county magistrate's name is Gu Fu, and his physical appearance is very close to that of a half-human, half-dragon, especially the finger-sized coral-like dragon horn on top of his head.

He has no cultivation, but his physical strength far exceeds that of a fifth-level warrior.

"Captain Zhang, please come here in person."

"It should."

Captain Zhang is one of the few internal energy practitioners in Yingchoujian. He has reached the sixth level of Yuandan. His inheritance does not come from the Jinwu Guards of the Tang Dynasty, but from the strong men who serve the True Dragon Master in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

He glanced over the wine shop and saw a light mist covering the building.

Although Yingchoujian is cold and damp, there is rarely any mist all year round, not to mention that the mist can only be detected when you get within half a meter of the building.

Captain Zhang held the talisman in his hand and did not sense any demonic aura for the time being.

However, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

"County Master, I remember this wine shop has been abandoned for many years. I wonder what its origin is?"

"I'll send someone to look for the century-old contract. It will probably take a while. The first thing you need to do is put out the candles."

Gu Fu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and there was a hint of fear in his words.

He knew the consequences of not turning off the lights. Monsters might be attracted from the deep sea, and at least ten thousand people would be killed or injured before the situation in Yingchoujian could be quelled.

"kindness."

Captain Zhang and his detectives climbed into the wine shop, where an oil lamp was dimly visible in the lobby.

They did not dare to delay and searched the shop from top to bottom. They found that the shop was empty, but there were signs of tidying up everywhere.

"No matter what, there's only a quarter of an hour until sunset and moonrise, so it's important to turn off the lights."

Captain Zhang used fish skin to cover the oil lamp to prevent the draft from blowing it out.

The way the lamp was extinguished next was also extremely strange. It was to drain the lamp oil little by little, allowing the flame to burn out naturally.

The detectives present had solemn expressions on their faces, as if the candlelight could be in danger at any time.

A constable came hurriedly outside the door.

"County Master, the book with the information about the wine shop's deed has been found!"

Gu Fu took it quickly, his pupils shrank slightly after checking the information, and he looked around in disbelief, only to see that there was one more person in the crowd.

This person's appearance is not outstanding, but his presence is almost non-existent.

He stood in the crowd with dignity, watching Captain Zhang turn off the lights.

pat.

The tome dropped.

Shen Lian came to Gu Fu in an instant, reached out and grabbed him, and flipped through the contract with a strange expression. The three words "Zhu Ganglie" were clearly written on it.

"Master, we have been keeping the wine shop as you said for a hundred years, but no one is taking care of it. Don't blame us!"

As soon as these words came out, the other detectives could not help but retreat.
"Do not misunderstand."

Shen Lian asked curiously, "Zhu... Ganglie is my master. This is my first time in Yingchoujian. I don't know the local taboos. I didn't light the lamp intentionally to bring about the so-called disaster."

"Why call me Immortal Master?"

"Master Zhu is the son-in-law of the North Sea Dragon Palace and was enlightened by the North Sea Dragon King. Since you are a disciple of Zhu Ganglie, you must also be a master."

Gu Fu muttered to himself that appearing and disappearing mysteriously was not something that ordinary people could do.

He knew several immortal masters in the Dragon Palace and acquired a secret technique for identifying people in his early years, which could activate the skills in a short period of time even if the ordinary people's mind was exhausted.

Through the secret technique of identifying people, even if Shen Lian is not a strong man from the Dragon Palace, he is almost the same.

Gu Fu saw Shen Lianhaimin's characteristics and didn't think much about it.

The coastal areas are connected by blood, and as long as you are a sea dweller, no matter which town you are in, you will be accepted by the local sea dwellers.

On the contrary, people like Bai Haibo, who do not have obvious characteristics of a sea dweller, are easily excluded.

The corner of Shen Lian's mouth twitched. The coachman was most likely the second senior brother in disguise. He was indeed a passionate man and had once been a son-in-law in the Dragon Palace.

"Master, you may not know that the tide in Yingchou Gorge will rise when it gets dark. We must follow the rules of the Dragon Palace and not light the lamps easily."

Shen Lian glanced at the lobby, and the candlelight dimmed quietly until only a single ray remained.

Captain Zhang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he even showed signs of going crazy. Sweat pooled on the soles of his feet, showing how nervous he was.

Shen Lian opened his eyes between his brows, and Gu Fu became even more respectful when he saw his state.

"what?"

He discovered that there was a surge of demonic aura in the shallow sea area near Yingchoujian. The demon's skills were not very high, but the demon itself was extremely strange and inexplicable.

The soul at the human immortal level was unable to see through the appearance of the demon.

Like a drop of ink falling into the sea.

As the sea breeze blew, the demonic aura disappeared.

at the same time.

Captain Zhang's relieved sigh could be heard in the hall. Gu Fu felt relieved and asked, "Master, are you here for the Dragon Palace?"

“I came here to make wine.”

"Unfortunately, the North Sea Dragon Palace will have to collect the wine in half a year."

Gu Fu explained: "Otherwise, with the magical power of the immortal master, he will definitely be able to brew satisfactory wine and take the opportunity to marry into the Dragon Palace and become the son-in-law."

"Half a year should be enough time to make wine, right?"

"Master, the top-grade wine worms in Yingchoujian all went to different places a few years ago, and the rest are half-dead, mid- and low-grade wine worms."

The moment Gu Fu mentioned the drinking bug, a hint of joy flashed in Shen Lian's eyes.

Shen Lian's consciousness was directed towards his middle dantian, where a strange stone egg was suspended. This object was the fundamental object that Bima Wen was bound to.

Unlike the previous four professions, he was completely confused about Bimawen.

[First-level occupation: Bimawen (0%)]

【Related: Stone Pebble】

[Magic Power: Raising Beasts]

[Raising beasts: You can raise monsters with a history of less than 500 years. 】

No matter how he used his magical power to raise beasts, there was no response. Shen Lian tried more than a dozen methods to gain experience in the profession of Bimawen.

But it's useless.

Judging from the nature of the profession panel, the ability to raise beasts is definitely not raising monsters in the literal sense.

Shen Lian was also unable to communicate with the stone egg. It was made of stone inside and out, but it seemed to be somewhat moved by the wine worm that Gu Fu had mentioned.

"Wine bug?"

"Little White Dragon is missing from Yingchoujian. Could the wine bug be related to Little White Dragon?"

When Second Brother brewed wine in Yingchoujian, he probably didn't just want to join the Dragon Palace. Little White Dragon's situation is not optimistic.
