I can't be a demon

She left Jianghe only half a month later.

It's just that the state of body and soul is a bit... unusual.

Chapter 152 Synthesis of the Secret Technique of Corpse Dissection

The wind and waves in the Nu River are unpredictable. Sometimes it is as calm as a lake, but suddenly there are waves.

In addition, the local people fear the Dragon King of the Nu River. There have always been few fishermen in the main stream, and only the villages on the tributaries make a living by fishing.

Old Liu Tou walked among the rock walls and looked at Nujiang Town from the corner of his eye.

"I heard that there was a demon causing trouble in Nujiang Town, and the town was closed for more than half a year..."

Old Liu shuddered. For some reason, he always felt that the river water was extremely scary, as if there was an unspeakable giant swimming in it.

"It's better to come less often from now on, it's weird."

He is not from Nujiang Town, but because the wind and waves nearby are small, he comes every few days to check whether there is any harvest in the cage net.

"It's all rotten fish and shrimps."

Old Liu Tou forcefully retracted the nets used to catch fish and shrimp, only to find that the fish and shrimp poured out looked listless.

There are even some river fish with deformed fins the size of a thumb growing out of their abdomens.

"unlucky."

Just as Old Liu Tou was about to leave along the shore, he inadvertently noticed that the rope of a cage net was tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and tried to pull it.

"It weighs at least a hundred kilograms. Could it be that it was aquatic plants hooked to the bottom of the river?"

"kindness?"

At this moment.

An arm seemed to be wrapped around the cage net. Old Liu took a closer look and saw that it was a woman.

The woman's skin was swollen, blood oozed from her mouth, and her chest no longer rose.

"I don't know which river bank he fell from, and he died at a young age."

Old Liu shook his head helplessly and planned to cut the rope. It is said that drowned people are easy to turn into water ghosts, and the cage net is already in danger.

"call."

The woman opened her eyes suddenly, her long hair intertwined like spider silk.

Old Liu took a few steps back, and then noticed a horrifying scene. The woman's skin twisted and proliferated, as if she were a living creature, and her appearance was getting closer to the monk.

"Monster...monster!!!" Old Liu Tou rolled and crawled away.

Zhu Yihong coughed a few times and climbed up the rock wall with difficulty with the help of ropes.

"Fortunately, he...didn't follow."

Zhu Yihong's hair was turned into ashes one by one. He tried his best to endure the loss of control of his body and soul, but he still gradually became "blessed".

She lay flat on the shore and took out the token, trying to contact Li Shun with her remaining spiritual consciousness.

I thought it would take at least a quarter of an hour, but as soon as I got the token in the storage bag, a figure landed in mid-air, and it was Shen Lian.

Bang.

"It's Chen Guangrui's [assimilation] again, more serious than the townspeople."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. Considering Zhu Yihong's cultivation in the sixth realm of Yuan Dan, it stands to reason that the well water in the city cannot cause such serious erosion.

"Did she accidentally enter the Nujiang Dragon Palace and come into contact with Chen Guangrui's body?"

"That's not right, the cave is a small world similar to the Snail Dojo."

"Zhu Yihong is in the cave, and the Wanhu Token cannot sense the location."

While Shen Lian was thinking, he took out the [Suppression Fruit] that the alchemy furnace had conceived not long ago, and gave it to Zhu Yihong before the assimilation of his body stopped.

【Suppressing heterogeneity fruit】

[Breathed from the alchemy furnace, after taking it, it can suppress the loss of control of the body and soul and increase the cultivation level. 】

The idiosyncratic fruits naturally came from more than 700 blood-soothing berries donated by Wang Baoping free of charge. After removing the dregs with the magical power of pregnancy, the alchemy furnace produced nearly 500 berries in total, which was a huge profit.

Shen Lian helped Zhu Yihong absorb the power of the medicine, and it took a long time for the latter to regain consciousness.

"Zhu Yihong, are you okay?"

"fine."

Zhu Yihong was so frightened that he vomited out a large amount of undigested fish and shrimp from his stomach, then leaned over and hurried away from the rough Nu River.

"Quick! Leave quickly!! You can't stay near the Nu River!!!"

Zhu Yihong's face turned pale.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, the vertical eyes between his brows opened. His consciousness swept across the ordinary-looking river surface, and the inner elixir of Yunling emitted a faint light.

There was an inexplicable shock in my heart.

Obviously the consciousness didn't notice anything strange, but the Yunling inner alchemy was frantically warning.

"Shen Lian!"

Shen Lian came to his senses, furrowed his brows and led Zhu Yihong back a thousand meters, until the lingering sense of danger in his heart disappeared.

"Miss Zhu, what happened to you during this time?"

Zhu Yihong was still frightened, and her inner strength couldn't help but leak out.

"Big demon, there is a big demon in the water!!!"

"Wang Baoping..." Zhu Yihong didn't ask any more questions. Since Shen Lian had arrived in Nujiang Town, Wang Baoping would definitely die.

"At that time, Wang Baoping attacked and killed Li Shun without warning, and Li Shun fell into his secret technique. I could only take the opportunity to escape into the Nu River and hide..."

Zhu Yihong vaguely remembered that he had planned to use Jiang Shui's cover to contact others.

As a result, as soon as he entered the water, he was stared at by a strange and inexplicable monster. For the next few days, he could only run around to avoid it.

"What kind of monster?"

Shen Lian remembered Yun Ling's inner elixir's warning and immediately noticed something unusual.

"On the outside, he looks like an old monk, wearing a bright red monk's robe, but...the monk's robe is actually his skin. He can swim freely in the water and has practiced Taoism for at least three thousand years."

"Is it also his fault that you lost control of your body?"

"Well, it seems like he's assimilating to me."

Zhu Yihong's hair exploded and he repeatedly checked his body and soul.

Shen Lian fell into silence.

He knew what the demon in the river was. Wang Baoping sacrificed the pirated version of Chen Guangrui to his mother, and it was definitely not without incident.

Mothers seem to use this to give birth to something incredible.

An heir.

The temple priest who claimed to be [Xuanzang] that Ma Wanhu saw in the dilapidated temple by the river should be the demon in the river wearing a cassock.

Wang Baoping had been kept in the dilapidated temple out of fear.

As a result, he escaped unexpectedly.

What surprised Shen Lian was that the demon could actually escape the divine consciousness of the Eight Realms of Divine Travel, and he probably couldn't find it at all.

"A human mother and her offspring, it's a ghost."

Zhu Yihong asked worriedly: "The Nujiang River stretches for hundreds of miles, and the demon can move freely in the water. It may be difficult to kill it."

"Then let others deal with it."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You report to the court and say that the source of the assimilation of the townspeople's appearance is the demon in the river. Haha, naturally some people will be nervous."

Since Wang Baoping is dead, he has offended the forces coveting the resources of the human mother.

Why not just go all out and trick them into Nujiang Town to solve the problem once and for all? And, by the way, help figure out the truth about the mother and the child.

"Also, let the people in the yamen speak with one voice, Wang Baoping died of a demon in the water."

"Ah? Okay."

Zhu Yihong hesitated. According to Shen Lian's temperament, shouldn't he just rush in?

"You should go back to the yamen to recuperate. The next step will definitely be a turbulent time."

The first thing Shen Lian did after returning to Nujiang Town was to ask Yuan Chaozhong to re-block the well water to prevent the mother and the child from polluting the water source.

He ordered the townspeople not to approach the Nujiang River, and then hurriedly closed himself off.

His heart was beating like a drum.

A faint mist covered the backyard of the yamen.

After Shen Lian picked all the elixir fruits, he took back the elixir furnace fruit. After all, judging from the surface, the role of the elixir furnace in nurturing elixir fruits is more comprehensive than that of magic weapons.
