I can't be a demon.

Chapter 81 Synthesis, Rebirth

During the construction of the mansion, Zhu Yihong asked the Black Tiger Hall to send two volumes of horizontal training, but he couldn't find any superior martial arts at the moment, only middle-level ones.

[Iron Head Kung Fu], [Eagle Claw Kung Fu]

In the middle-level horizontal training, the two martial arts can be considered as inferior.

But Shen Lian was overjoyed, because both the Iron Head Kung Fu and the Eagle Claw Kung Fu target the bones, especially the Iron Head Kung Fu, which can protect the vital points.

He practiced by strengthening his bones with internal strength, and he also did not neglect the stance training.

As a result of studying martial arts at the same time, the previous surplus of fish fruits became less and less, and it was already a bit like spending more than earning.

But Yanliang Town is now in danger, and the only way to protect itself is to go further.

Shen Lian learned from Fugui that the government had sealed the South City Gate to prevent anyone from approaching Gao's mansion, and heard that three or four merchants had died.

The deceased usually fell to the ground within a hundred meters of the Gao Mansion.

Their clothes were soaked with blood, like the suits worn by a groom at his wedding. Their faces were filled with joy and their chests were sunken.

It is very likely that the blood in the deceased's body dried up instantly, staining his clothes red, and the shrinkage of his organs caused his chest and abdomen to collapse directly.

"It's poisonous. A thousand-year-old female ghost came to Yanliang Town for a blind date, right?!!"

"What on earth is the Jinwu Guard doing in Gao Village that allows a thousand-year-old female ghost to descend into the outside world?"

Shen Lian gritted his teeth, and the speed of the flow of energy suddenly increased.

The qi and blood are rising.

Blood oozed from Shen Lian's pores and his meridians felt a dull pain, but the stance was still a thin layer of paper away from perfection.

"kindness?"

suddenly.

Shen Lian heard the front hall of the pawn shop become quiet.

The footsteps are from far to near.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and saw an old man and a young boy walking into the courtyard as if no one was around. They exuded the inner strength unique to the Jade Face Sutra.

The old man had a hunched body, and his exposed skin was covered with fox hair. Only his head was human, but his skull already had some traces of a fox's.

The young man was in his early twenties, with a fox face behind his head, and had just entered the fifth level of innate cultivation.

"I am Hu Zhanfu, nice to meet the young master."

"What's the matter, Captain Hu?"

"Young Master is very accomplished. I have never seen a warrior with such abundant Qi and blood. No wonder they think you are an alchemist."

A hint of regret flashed across Hu Zhanfu's eyes.

He originally thought that the famous Zhong Kui was really an alchemist, so his two disciples could die, and the token of Moyun Cave could also be considered a gift.

I didn’t expect that he was just a warrior, hahaha, a warrior.

Hu Zhanfu had seen real "immortal disciples". They were a group of natural gods standing in the clouds. How could a warrior compare to even one-tenth of them?
Warriors? Warriors should be treated as blood food!!!
Hu Zhanfu had a flash of malicious intent.

"Whether you are a warrior or an alchemist, they are all on the path of cultivation."

Shen Lian smiled without saying anything, holding the bone blade at his waist with his right hand.

"That's a huge difference. When a warrior reaches the end, he is nothing more than a pile of dry bones."

"Ah~"

The starling landed on the branch of the banyan tree.

Hu Zhanfu glanced across the courtyard and paused for a moment at the starling. He felt that the latter was a little larger than an ordinary crow, but he didn't care.

"Come, Ashan, meet Zhong Kui, the demon slayer."

Hu Zhanfu pushed the young man in front of Shen Lian, who smelled the food and said in a slightly silly tone, "Zhong Kui? Can I eat it?"

"Please forgive me, Master. Ah Shan is a disciple I just randomly accepted while traveling."

"Look, Young Master, there are only a few in the world who are innate warriors, but for us internal martial arts practitioners, it is nothing to step into the fifth level of innate realm."

Hu Zhanfu patted Ah Shan's head and said softly, "Young Master, I will have a banquet at Gao's house in five days. If you come, we can write off our previous grudges. How about that?"

"Is there such a good thing?"

Shen Lian's eyes were fixed on Hu Zhanfu's heart, and the bone blade made a humming sound.

"Of course, I can recommend you to join the Jinwu Guard and personally teach you the Jade Face Sutra. I can also protect your life even if you are in Gao Mansion."

On the one hand, Hu Zhanfu wanted to use Shen Lian's blood to lure out the thousand-year-old demon, and on the other hand, he coveted the latter's magical powers to deal with demons.

"Yanliang Town must be special. Could it be that Shen Lian, like me, accidentally came into contact with the opportunity of the alchemist but failed to seize it?"

Ashan's eyes turned red and he struggled to pounce on Shen Lian.

Hu Zhanfu did not stop him.

His patience was gradually lost, and for some reason, he always felt extremely uneasy in Yanliang Town, as if someone was watching him.

This feeling kept deepening, especially after arriving at the damn pawn shop.

Nine-eared demon?
We cannot stay in Yanliang Town for long, let my disciples come and investigate the truth.

Deal with the trouble in Gao's mansion as soon as possible, so as to prevent the court from sending the remaining hundred households here. This is an opportunity for the alchemist and must not be missed.

"Young Master, how is it?"

"That's not necessary. I'm actually not interested in internal energy." Shen Lian let go of the knife handle and walked towards Ashan. "I have never felt that warriors are inferior to internal energy practitioners."

Saliva was dripping from the corner of Ashan's mouth, and Fox Face could no longer wait.

“Meat…meat meat meat…”

Shen Lian took a step forward.

A Shan stood there in a daze. The man in front of him was obviously an ordinary mortal and he had eaten him two or three times not long ago. But why... why did he feel like he was being watched by a demon.

Bang bang bang.

Shen Lian stretched out his arms, and the sound of bones colliding could be heard all over his body.

A huge monster over three meters tall appeared in the courtyard, its black scales flashing coldly.

The huge palm grabbed Ashan’s head directly.

puff.

The fox's face was distorted and its head exploded like a watermelon.

Shen Lian held up the headless corpse and said with a grim smile: "Let me see the specialness of your inner strength! Come on!! Let me see!!!"

He threw the body hard, and it fell into the corner and broke into pieces. Hu Zhanfu's expression froze.

Although I have heard a lot about Shen Lian, it is far from being as direct as when I saw it in person. The shock from the bronze body Dharma image goes deep into my bones.

Warrior? Can you tell me why warriors are no different from demons?
Although Ashan had just entered the fifth realm of innateness, due to his special physique and extremely pure internal strength, he was still vulnerable.

"Jie Jie Jie."

"Captain Hu, it's your turn!"

Shen Lian exerted force with his legs and instantly came within half a meter of Hu Zhanfu.

Grabbing the bone blade, all the strength poured into it.

Clang.

Even though the bone blade has not yet been unsheathed, the bloodthirsty sword chants are already continuous.

"Shen Lian, you can't escape. See you at Gao Mansion!"

Hu Zhanfu showed his sharp fangs, and the fox skin seemed to be separated from his body, but he did not use his internal strength in the end. The threat from the nine-eared demon made him dare not take action, and he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

The pawn shop became noisy again, but the few people inside were not in any trouble.

"Gao Fu, right? How dare a half-human, half-demon beast be so presumptuous."

While Shen Lian's body shape returned to normal, the energy in his Dantian continued to flow, which was caused by the perfection of the Fu Shui Posture.

"There is only one Dachengzhuang method left."

"This person is a little different from the Jinwu Guards. His special abilities are almost all over his body. The special abilities of his fox transformation and the Jade Face Sutra seem to complement each other."

"but……"

Shen Lian's eyes revealed murderous intent, and he threw the body into the banyan tree hole.

"His special ability has some flaws, which makes his body weaker than those at the same level. Perhaps he failed to grasp the backlash brought about by the alchemist's opportunity."

"There is one thing I like about the Jinwu Guards. The court treats them as demons and does not investigate the cause even if they die unexpectedly."

"Hu Zhanfu...can be killed!!!"

Shen Lian didn't know the method of cultivation to the sixth level of Yuandan. Seeing that he was about to complete the fifth level of Xiantian, he really needed to find a Yuandan cultivator to serve as a sacrifice.

Hu Zhanfu is a good target.

Moreover, the Gao family is filled with resentment, and it is hard to say who is at fault.

"Eighth Master, we will go to Gao's Mansion together. With you by our side, we can kill Hu Zhanfu while the ghosts are busy!"

"Ah~ As expected of Ah Lian, you are as ruthless as I, the Eighth Master."

The starlings were quacking loudly.

Shen Lian threw a fish fruit to Myna and continued to strive for perfection in the Qingsong Post. The speed of the energy circulation had reached the extreme of the meridians.

The practice of horizontal training is even more ruthless.

Within five days, there is definitely a chance to push the two intermediate horizontal trainings to perfection, but you will inevitably suffer a little and all your resources will have to be used up.

Shen Lian drank the medicinal wine and bit off part of the ghost thread fruit in one bite.

The headache from the bone implosion, and the drowsiness brought by the ghost thread fruit were suppressed. This way of practicing was simply self-torture.

Shen Hansheng seemed a little worried. After all, Shen Lian made a lot of noise day and night.

Two hours later.

I have achieved some success in Iron Head Kung Fu and Eagle Claw Kung Fu.

After one day and one night.

The Iron Head Kung Fu and Eagle Claw Kung Fu have reached perfection.

Shen Lian successfully seized the opportunity to complete the Qingsong Pillar's advancement. With the rumbling in Dantian, the ochre-colored force tended to stabilize.

[Whether to consume 3 points to synthesize the blood nourishing internal pile and unknown pile method]

[Whether to consume 3 points to synthesize water pile and unknown pile method]

[Whether to consume 3 points to synthesize Qingsong pile and unknown pile method]

Shen Lian confirmed it secretly.

After the Dantian had been stagnant for half a breath, the four forces began to stir wildly, causing the Dantian space to continue to expand and cracks to appear on the surface.

Shen Lian quickly directed some of his strength to temper his bones.

It was like hitting himself with a heavy punch, blood spurting out of his mouth and nose, and the bottleneck that he had originally spent a lot of energy to break through disappeared.

Horizontal training is complete.

[Do you want to consume 3 points to synthesize Iron Head Skill and Indestructible Bronze Body?]

[Do you want to consume 3 points to combine Eagle Claw Skill and Indestructible Bronze Body]

"I only have 26 points left. I must make back my money in Gaofu."

Shen Lian bared his teeth, his tongue became swollen under the effect of the force, the force violently penetrated the remaining meridians, and the tongue root stage was achieved!
He ignored the repair of the damaged meridians and immediately started to open up the meridians at the root of the nose.

Even though it is a bit difficult to cross two realms in a row, opening up any meridian can save a month or so, and after the nasal root stage, only the sensory root stage is left.

Shen Lian transformed into a bronze body and underwent a strange and drastic change. Faintly, one could hear the sound of bones breaking, which was creepy.

Thick fog enveloped the courtyard.

.........

The gate of Gao Mansion outside the city was opened, and the sound of clear singing echoed.

"In Yue Lao Temple, couples make wishes together and have a happy marriage."

"The couple's ceremony is to hold hands with red silk and flowers, and bow four times in the bridal chamber."

The singing became increasingly mournful, and eventually became hysterical, accompanied by violent coughing, and the lanterns lit up with bright red light.

The figures in the mansion seemed to be posting wedding characters everywhere in preparation for the banquet.

No matter how you look at it.

The Gao family all get married in a church, but why is it called a temple fair?

If you think about it carefully, there is indeed a subtle connection between the two.

The bride needs to be welcomed before the wedding ceremony.

Temple fairs require welcoming gods.
