I can't be a demon.

Chapter 382 The Source of the True Scripture

Shen Lian's expression was solemn, and he became increasingly wary of Huang Mei's cunning.

Huang Mei is not only highly skilled, but also very cruel to himself. He actually chooses to abandon his physical body and take over the body of the illusory Queen Mother of the West.

You know, the Queen Mother of the West is just an illusion in our imagination.

Even though Huang Mei has the ability to make the fake look real, the risks are also huge. If he is not careful, he may die.

Mrs. Bai Gu was secretly shocked.

She understood that Huang Mei had realized Shen Lian's true identity.

【True Mahayana Buddhism】

What shocked Madam Bai Gu was that Huang Mei did not touch Shen Lian. Instead, he used the ability of the Martial Arts Sutra to devour scriptures and completely separated the mosquito larvae that had merged into his body and soul.

It can be seen that Huang Mei's plan from beginning to end was centered around Shen Lian, and even the reconstruction of Xiao Xitian was just a cover. His intentions were extremely deep.

Rumble.

Most of the body of the Queen Mother of the West successfully entered the guiding Buddha's light.

The evil Buddhas became more and more crazy, trying desperately to grab the so-called quota for ascension, but they were helpless against the guardian ghosts and gods.

[Digest the corpse of the evil Buddha, martial arts experience +2.97%]

[Digest the corpse of the evil Buddha, martial arts experience +3.25%]

.........

Each and every evil Buddha has become the nourishment of the Martial Arts Sutra, which is a step forward for the Martial Arts Sutra of Mahayana Buddhism.

Shen Lian ignored the wailing evil Buddha and flashed to the place where Huang Mei had been sitting cross-legged before.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Huang Mei did not take away the human bag at all, and even kept the countless souls sealed inside.

"Uncle Huangmei, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Shen Lian thought back to the events of this trip and found that Huang Mei was clearly sending him opportunities, Xiao Xitian, Sakyamuni, and many evil Buddhas...

He didn't think Huang Mei was doing this for Jin Chanzi's sake; he definitely had other intentions.

[Dirty human bag]

[Originally, it was a post-natal instrument refined by Maitreya Buddha. After falling into the hands of Huang Mei, it was contaminated. Once refined, it needs to be nourished with some souls every day, otherwise there is a possibility of life in the human bag. ]

"Brother, what are your plans next?"

Madam Bai Gu came to Shen Lian's side, followed by the King of the Kingdom of Women. Gao Cuilan and the Halloween Dragon Girl stood a hundred meters away and did not dare to come forward.

It was understandable that the two were wary, as the strength displayed by Shen Lian was far beyond imagination.

Zheng Lun and the others stood there in a daze, as if they were being restricted by some mysterious technique.

“There are no plans yet.”

Shen Lian put away the human seed bag. As this device was an acquired thing, even if it was contaminated, the disadvantages it would cause him on a daily basis would be enough to cause him a lot of trouble.

"Sister, is there any drawback to the Buddhist scriptures?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. White Bone's pupils shrank slightly, and scriptures appeared all over her body, as if her body and soul were about to become part of the true scriptures.

"Yes."

"Junior brother, you should know that above earthly immortals are heavenly immortals, right?"

Shen Lian nodded, and Madam Bai Gu looked at the guiding Buddha light with concern, "Once you become a celestial being, it will be difficult to move forward."

"Why?"

"In the Lingshan Mountains in the west, the celestial beings are also known as Bodhisattvas."

Mrs. White Bone took a deep breath, and the King of the Kingdom of Women took the initiative to add: "It is because of the true scripture that all the celestial beings are believers."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, not understanding what the two people were saying.

"Only one person can truly refine each copy of the sutra. Even if one becomes a Daluo Jinxian, he will eventually become someone else's food."

There was a hint of despair in Mrs. White Bone's words.

After the catastrophe of heaven and earth, all paths have been blocked. Perhaps the only hope of survival is to wait for the junior brother to transcend and become a Daluo Jinxian.

Shen Lian realized it belatedly and asked, "So the master of the Buddhist scriptures is Tathagata?"

“Well, I don’t know for sure whether the Tathagata is at the top of Lingshan Mountain, but the other immortals and Buddhas who have refined the Buddhist scriptures have all become followers of the Tathagata. The celestial immortals have reached the end of the road.”

No wonder Huang Mei’s realm is so strange, as if he is wandering between earthly immortals and celestial immortals.

He must have known that promotion to a celestial being meant there was no turning back, so he tried every possible means to remove the complete Tathagata Sutra from his body.

Shen Lian suddenly felt that it was a little ridiculous.

The Qu Zhen Jing is not ownerless. Looking back, it is history repeating itself. The Queen Mother of the West must have ascended to the Western Lingshan Mountain during the Peach Banquet.

But compared with Tathagata, the Queen Mother of the West in Qu Zhenjing is much easier to deal with.

Shen Lian even suspected that Huang Mei was trying to turn the tables, otherwise the identification information in Qu Pian would not have been changed to Huang Mei.

Shen Lian thought to himself: "Through the true scripture, we can actually get a glimpse of the horror of the person behind the scenes."

"The Jie Larvae Sutra is all-encompassing. Tathagata is definitely the winner after the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. As for the Taoist Mayfly Sutra, it is unknown which of the Three Pure Ones holds it, but they are on par with Tathagata."

Madam Bai Gu patted Shen Lian's shoulder and said softly, "Junior brother, you are in great danger now. Go to the Western Sacred Mountain as soon as possible. It would be too conspicuous if you stay in the mortal world."

Shen Lian's forehead was covered in cold sweat and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The True Martial Arts Sutra is currently inferior to any other kind of scriptures, but tracing back to its source, the owner of the True Martial Arts Sutra was just an earthly immortal.

Huang Mei didn't touch the martial arts scriptures for some reason, but that doesn't mean that the immortals and Buddhas who were restricted by the scriptures would have no reaction.

If the immortals and Buddhas knew about this, they would surely flock to the place.

Shen Lian was still in shock. The martial arts scriptures were completely different in nature and could devour other derivative chapters of the scriptures. They were completely different from that group of insects. If he was discovered, he would surely die.

Madam Bai Gu hesitated for a long time, then continued, "Jin Chanzi mentioned that the journey to the West was a thousand years earlier. He...seemed to have a premonition that a true scripture would be published in the future."

She stopped talking at that point, and Shen Lian was filled with thoughts.

The timing that Jin Chanzi mentioned was very coincidental, and it was obviously referring to the martial arts scriptures, but how could someone who had been dead for a thousand years know the future?

The King of the Kingdom of Women frowned slightly, and his face turned sad when he heard the three words "Golden Chanzi".

"Don't worry about it. Before his death, my brother traveled across the four continents and four seas as a mortal. No one can clearly understand what he saw and heard."

"kindness."

Shen Lian looked up at the sky. Only by setting foot on the Western Sacred Mountain in person could he know the truth about the catastrophe of heaven and earth, as well as the beginning and end of the disaster.

"Brother, the Buddha's light does lead to the sacred mountain in the west. We are going to use the Buddha's light to ascend to heaven. Do you want to accompany us?"

"Senior Sister Han, I still have important things to do in the mortal world."

Shen Lian thought about it and decided to refuse.

Even if I want to go to the Western Lingshan, I should start from the underworld.

Madam Bai Gu did not persuade her any further, "Okay, Junior Brother, don't delay too long. The four of us will be waiting for you at the Western Spiritual Mountain."

There are already signs of Yao Chi's collapse, and all the evil Buddhas at the Peach Banquet have died.

Gao Cuilan hesitated for a long time, then made up her mind and asked, "Shen Lian, have you met the person who sent you to Yingchoujian?"

Shen Lian didn't know how to reply to Gao Cuilan, so he could only shake his head.

Madam White Bone flew into the sky with the Halloween Dragon Girl and the King of the Kingdom of Women, but Gao Cuilan chose to stop.

"Senior Sister Gao, you have already refined the Buddhist scriptures. There is no place for you in the mortal world. If this continues, the scriptures in your body will get out of control."

Even after hearing Mrs. Bai Gu's warning, Gao Cuilan remained unmoved.

"Senior Sister Gao..."

"No."

Gao Cuilan smiled and said, "I will let my junior brother strip the scriptures. Compared with the altar purifier, the demon is more comfortable."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"I'm afraid my husband will go back to Gao Village and worry if he can't find me."

Madam Bai Gu sighed and silently immersed herself in the Buddha's light. The other two people had a mediocre relationship with Gao Cuilan, so they stopped trying to persuade her. Shen Lian couldn't help but say, "Senior Sister Gao, Zhu Ganglie might..."

"It does not matter."

Gao Cuilan murmured, "My husband advised me to stay in Gao Village, but I didn't listen. That's why he gave me the Buddhist status to refine. Otherwise, he should have been the one to join the Little Leiyin Temple."

She also knew that Second Senior Brother was most likely in danger, but what if?

"Junior Brother Shen Lian, please peel off the true scripture."

"it is good."

Shen Lian activated the martial arts scriptures, and the scriptures absorbed the mosquito larvae scriptures eagerly. Not long after, Gao Cuilan's Buddha's light was restrained.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, please come visit Gao Laozhuang some other day."

Gao Cuilan disappeared, and she felt extremely relieved after making her choice.

Shen Lian digested a large amount of the Mosquito Larva Sutra, and his level of Martial Arts Sutra reached 84.65%. Unfortunately, the experience provided by the Mosquito Larva Sutra was becoming increasingly scarce, and it might be difficult for him to make further progress in the mortal world.

【Mosquito Larvae】

[The chapter on larvae is derived from a genus Tathagata, also known as a genus Tathagata. It attached itself to Sakyamuni at Mount Lingshan and became a genus Tathagata. It likes lotus and hates Buddha's light. It can swallow flesh and blood to transform believers into immortals. Remember, do not call the Tathagata directly.]

The fall of the Western Lingshan Mountain can be seen from the tip of the iceberg in the chapter on mosquito larvae.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a worm's nest.

"Let's go."

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, the bone blade drilled into the shadow of his feet, the roots of the banyan tree returned to his body, the stone eggs took the initiative to enter the ghost gourd, and the starling landed on his shoulder.

"It's a nice autumn with cool weather~~"

"Get ready." Shen Lian fed the starling a few red fruits.

"We also have to go to the Western Sacred Mountain. Advancing to the eighth level in the mortal world is already the limit, and breaking through to the celestial immortal requires a change of environment."

Shen Lian flashed back to the Peach Garden, and then left Yaochi with his hiding companions.

.........

Although his memories were constantly collapsing, Zhu Bajie chose to go against the current.

He passed through the South Heaven Gate and headed towards the illusory mortal world. Even though his body and soul were severely damaged, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Zhu Bajie couldn't help but think of his last meeting with Jin Chanzi.

Jin Chanzi traveled east alone and met Sha Wujing halfway. After saying goodbye, he continued walking forward for hundreds of miles and stopped in a valley.

"Bajie, don't follow me anymore."

Just as Jin Chanzi finished speaking, a figure walked out of the bushes not far away.

Zhu Bajie didn't know how long he had been escorting Jin Chanzi, and seemed a little embarrassed after being pointed out.

"Master, my eldest brother is in danger of dying, and my junior brother Sha has to take shelter in the Flowing Sand River. The White Dragon Horse has fallen into the depths of the Underworld. What should I do?"

Jin Chanzi stroked Zhu Bajie's head gently, then turned around and left without saying a word.

When Zhu Bajie tried to catch up with Jin Chanzi again, he had disappeared.

Click click click.

The collapse of recollection is intensifying.

Zhu Bajie came to his senses, took out a withered root of the peach tree, and poured his remaining magic power into it, causing the surroundings to constantly transform between reality and illusion.

He wanted to use his innate spiritual roots to touch the real time thousands of years ago.

"Husband."

Zhu Bajie was shocked to see a woman with a pig's head and a human body appeared in his arms.

"Gao Cuilan, why are you doing this? There is no turning back."

Gao Cuilan smiled but said nothing.

The roots of the peach tree in Zhu Bajie's hand felt hot, and just as he was about to recall the past, the two of them disappeared into reality in an instant.

They seemed to be traveling backwards in time, feeling their bodies and souls collapse bit by bit.

Then the two of them fell to the mortal world, but they were unable to interfere with the things around them and could only watch time pass by like a flash.

Grass and trees grew in the wasteland, rivers changed their courses and dried up, and mortals bustled about.

A farmer planted a banyan sapling at the original location. Decades later, his descendants built shops around the banyan tree.

The shop changed hands several times and was eventually pawned by a businessman named Shen.

Zhu Bajie and his companion's bodies and souls were destroyed, leaving only a faint spiritual light.

If the six realms of reincarnation still existed, they would still be able to reincarnate, but due to the influence of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the underworld has long been in disorder.

The Shen family pawnshop has been run for three generations, and the young master named Shen Lian took over temporarily.

The spiritual light was throbbing.

Not long after, the shopkeeper Shen Hansheng, who had been away from home for more than half a year, returned home.

Because Shen Hansheng mistakenly entered Gao Village, his energy and blood were almost exhausted, and the missing half of his soul had begun to breed ghosts.

Shen Lian used his wisdom eye to identify the twin ghosts of Shen Hansheng, and they were frightened away.

Zhu Bajie's spiritual light quietly emerged and sank into Shen Hansheng's Niwan Palace. Suddenly, ghosts appeared in the shops on Yongcui Street in Gao Laozhuang.

At the moment Ghost Dad was born, Zhu Bajie's mumbling echoed in the shop.

"I, Old Pig, wanted to revive my elder brother, but after running around for a thousand years, I still couldn't gather the remains of his body. I wanted to save Little White Dragon, but I couldn't get what I wanted."

"Master, in my next life, I, Old Pig, only want to keep my word."

The ghost dad opened his eyes and awakened a unique taboo [Words become laws], but his intelligence was still confused.

Gao Cuilan's spiritual light had no place to stay and slowly dissipated as time passed.

Just when the aura was about to be extinguished.

Gao Village held a grand wedding banquet. Gao Cuilan's spiritual light followed the ghost father into the Gao Mansion, and under the effect of the power of words coming true, it turned into a spirit tablet.

.........

Western Spirit Mountain.

The overlapping mountains are independent of each other, and the surface of the mountains is full of various caves. At first glance, they look like honeycombs, which is creepy.

Deep in a cave, the pitch-black darkness seemed to have life.

pat pat pat.

The sound of digging was heard and the stench intensified.

Ghost Dad held a nine-toothed rake in his hand and dug the cave aimlessly. From time to time, scattered broken bones were dug out with flesh and blood stuck to them, and there were also extremely mysterious spiritual patterns looming.

"I...how long do I have to dig before I can go home?"

He would rather stay in the bustling temple in Yanliang Town. There has been no change in the Western Lingshan Mountain in four hundred years. There is only eternal loneliness.

The ghost father looked dazed, and there was a faint flash of Buddha's light in his body.

Although it is a ghost with deep resentment, it shows signs of becoming a Buddha on the spot in the Western Lingshan Mountain, which makes it more and more similar to the Altar Purifier in the classics.

At this moment.

The ghost dad became confused with resentment.

A turbulent wave of memories flooded his mind, all from Zhu Bajie, and the Nine-toothed Rake began to shake uncontrollably.

Ghost Dad was flipping through his memories from the perspective of a bystander, with a bright Buddha light rising behind his head.

Rumble.

The cave shook violently for half a breath and then stopped abruptly.

"I am... Shen Hansheng, also known as Zhu Bajie."

"Ah Lian is coming, I must seize a sacred mountain and rebuild the pawn shop!"
