I can't be a demon

Otherwise, the fifty drops of Tianhe water in the middle dantian alone would be enough to sink your feet into the soil.

Not long after, the convoy was back on the road.

Shen Lian asked Yuan Chaozhong about the Nujiang case indirectly. The latter was mainly stationed in Dechang Town, a hundred miles away. He had not been to Nujiang Town for two years and did not know much information.

Yuan Chaozhong only knew that during the New Year, there would be a demonic wind sweeping Nujiang Town.

The demonic wind disappeared without a trace, quietly sweeping away twenty or thirty children, and usually lasted for five or six days before and after, with no more than a hundred people.

The people called the New Year the Dragon King Festival, and believed that the boys and girls taken away were enjoying the blessings in the Dragon Palace.

The next year will be good weather and good harvests.

Yuan Chaozhong hesitated and said: "We will actually get resistance from the local Jinwu Guards if we investigate this matter, so we must be careful."

In the eyes of the people, if they don't want to participate in the Dragon King Festival, they should leave the town temporarily before the New Year, and the Dragon King of the River will not chase out of Nujiang Town.

Shen Lian frowned slightly.

Since receiving Li Shun's message, he had been in contact with the two of them intermittently, but fortunately the Wanhu token could detect that the two were in peace.

It seems that the situation in Nujiang Town is indeed more complicated.

"Is there no pattern in the evil wind sweeping people away?"

"Sir Shen, I heard that most of the boys and girls blown away by the Dragon King are outsiders, or one of their parents is an outsider."

"And the closeness and distance, interesting."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. Before arriving at Nujiang Town, there were already strange things everywhere, especially those monsters with monk-like faces.

"Finding out the flesh of Tang Monk in everyone may reveal the tip of the iceberg of this world."

Seeing Shen Lian lost in thought, Yuan Chaozhong did not dare to disturb him.

The rest of the journey was safe and sound.

They could occasionally detect traces of monsters, but with the deterrence of the talisman, most monsters took the initiative to bypass the caravan.

When they were close to Nujiang Town, a town with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 came into view.

Nujiang Town is backed by mountains, and even the midday sun can hardly shine on it. The streets and alleys seem to be shrouded in damp cold air.

From a distance, you can smell the indescribable stench.

"Sir Shen, you..."

Yuan Chaozhong was about to remind Shen Lian, but found that the latter had his eyes closed, as if he was practicing, and just instinctively followed the carriage.

"Sir Shen is really amazing, no wonder he has already stepped into the sixth level of Yuandan at such a young age."

"Maybe there is a possibility of being promoted to the seventh level of Daoying in the future."

"Uh."

Yuan Chaozhong couldn't help but groan, noticing that Shen Lian had a mysterious aura all over his body, and suddenly had an inexplicable palpitation.

The feeling was fleeting, but it made him more respectful of Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's eyes showed helplessness, and his strength poured into the middle dantian like a swallow returning to its nest, and he could see that the volume of Yunling Neidan had increased sharply again.

"Finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the last stage of Yuandan."

[Realm: Yuandan (Podan)]

As the name suggests, the Podan stage means that the sixth stage of Yuandan is about to be promoted to the seventh stage of Daoying, and the cultivators begin to try [Podan into Infant].

The ancient Taoist inner alchemy is also Podan into Infant. Logically, as long as Shen Lian reaches the Podan stage, the inner elixir will naturally have cracks.

Next, the inner elixir can be broken with slow work.

However, Yunling's inner elixir is still flawless, and the eyeball in the center is slightly dull, without any sign of reaching the perfection of the Yuandan realm.

Shen Lian has seen the inner skills of the seventh stage of Daoying through Ma Wanhu's relationship, and Jinwuwei's Podan into Infant is also of no reference value.

Jinwuwei is to promote the transformation of the demon's physique, and then counter-attack the birth of Daoying.

"It seems that we can only pin our hopes on [Corpse Demon Fruit]."

Corpse Demon Fruit is bred by a wisp of true soul of Mrs. Bai Gu, and it takes half a year to mature. Its function is similar to Tianpeng Fruit in Gao Laozhuang.

【Corpse Demon Fruit】

【Born from the banyan tree, the flesh nourishes the soul; the core contains the complete Corpse Reincarnation Technique, and one can comprehend the method by taking it.】

Corpse Reincarnation Technique is a secret technique of escaping by abandoning the body, which is not suitable for Shen Lian at all.

It is also out of place to integrate it into the horizontal sword style.

On the contrary, the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique, which focuses on the soul and consciousness, is quite suitable.

"The Purple Mansion Tempering Technique will probably fall into a state of enlightenment when it is combined with the Corpse Reincarnation Technique, and it should be possible to explore the way forward for the seventh realm of Dao Infant."

Shen Lian was concerned that it was not suitable to retreat in the wilderness, so he never took the Corpse Demon Fruit.

The last pill fruit was a little special.

【Pill Furnace Fruit】

【Born from the banyan tree, buried deep underground and watered with Shen Lian's blood for three days, it can grow a tree stump with the function of gestating things. The stump was dug out completely and turned into a pill furnace fruit again half a day later. 】

"Hehe, although I can't actively breed Dan fruit, it's better than nothing."

Danlu fruit should be bred by the banyan tree when it is promoted to the fourth level. It will take three days to grow, so it must be planted in a secluded place.

Shen Lian stabilized his cultivation, and the carriage entered Nujiang Town unimpeded.

The customs of Nujiang Town are obviously different from those in Yanshan area. There is a habit of inlaying fish scales on the door, and the windows are made of fish skin.

People come and go on the street, and there are constant eyes looking at them, a group of strangers.

"Yuan Chaozhong, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Me?"

Yuan Chaozhong's consciousness swept, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

"Sir Shen, when I came here two years ago, they... were not like this."

Yuan Chaozhong shuddered.

He looked up and saw that the faces of the people in Nujiang Town were blessed. No matter men, women, old or young, they were three or four points similar to monsters.

Tens of thousands of people sharing a face, it was incredible.

Shen Lian had heard about this, but he still felt horrified. No wonder Ma Wanhu emphasized that the situation in Nujiang Town was continuing to deteriorate.

"Whether the anthropomorphism comes from Tang Monk or Chen Guangrui, there is definitely a big problem in Nujiang!"

Shen Lian looked at the riverside, and the lonely and dilapidated temple was ignored.

"Li Shun investigated the temple. The abbot named Xuanzang died half a year ago, leaving the temple in ruins."

Shen Lian communicated with the Wanhu token in his arms with his mind, and Li Shun was in the government office.

"Yuan Chaozhong, even you don't know the situation in Nujiang Town. It seems that the Qianhu guarding the local town is very problematic."

Yuan Chaozhong was very uneasy and responded: "Sir Shen, we should contact the Wanhu in charge of Nujiang Town immediately."

"Hehe."

"As soon as we entered the city, I'm afraid the people have already informed the government office."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Look at them, they seem to be staring at demons."

Thousands of people gathered around, and their lucky faces were expressionless. There was no demonic aura in their bodies, and there was no trace of secret techniques.

It was purely unwelcome, as if the arrival of Shen Lian and others affected their lives.

"What's the name of the captain here?"

"Wang Baoping is a spiritual practitioner of the seventh level of Daoying. He almost worshipped Tongtian River. His strength is terrifying."

Yuan Chaozhong took out the telepathic talisman, "I will contact the captain immediately. Lord Shen, let's try not to conflict with Wang Baoping..."

Crack, crack, crack.

Shen Lian's bones collided, and his body became more than two meters tall.

"Where did the captain come from? Lord Ma San was seriously injured and has been in seclusion for a long time. He entrusted me to take charge of Nujiang Town."

"My rules are very simple."

"Kill if you don't obey!"

Chapter 149 What kind of monster is Shen Lian?

The people nearby heard that they were talking about Wang Baoping, and they couldn't help showing fear on their faces. They tried to stay away from them as if they had met the plague god.

"Lord Shen, you..."

Yuan Chaozhong opened his mouth in disbelief.

There is more than one captain of the Jinwu Guard. Logically, even if Ma Wanhu was seriously injured, it should be taken over by a captain of the same level.

How could Shen Lian handle it?
