I can't be a demon

The roots extend underground.

As long as there is something wrong, they can return to the world through the teleportation tree.

"Thanks to the early cleaning of a group of Panhuan Cave alchemists, there must be enough space."

Shen Lian is not the last one, there are more than a dozen figures struggling behind him.

They all look like neither human nor ghost. Because they have been wearing skin bags for a long time, their appearance has completely become a slightly deformed Bodhi Patriarch.

In the Xieyue Sanxin Cave, they are generally called [pseudo-immortal ghosts].

It can be seen that they are close to becoming ghosts.

The taboos of the Immortal Hall obviously exclude pseudo-immortal ghosts, making every step of theirs extremely difficult. Only Qingmu has walked most of the stairs with the help of the magic tools provided by Panhuan Cave.

Shen Lian noticed the resentment from Qingmu, and pity appeared in his eyes.

Qingmu seems to be the eldest brother mentioned by Wanshou. Now it seems that he can't protect himself. If he barely enters the Immortal Hall, he will lose half his life.

In order to prevent accidents, Shen Lian did not get rid of Qingmu.

"Yeah."

He couldn't help but groan.

His whole body was covered with monkey hair, and then his organ structure also changed dramatically.

It looked no different from an ordinary ape, but his eyes were filled with the light of the primordial Dao, revealing a natural and lively aura.

Shen Lian realized that his own characteristics were getting closer to the [Spiritual Stone Monkey]!

Monkey Brother? Why did the taboo of Bodhi Patriarch change to Monkey Brother! ! !

"If I'm not mistaken, the taboo should be... assimilation!"

"Although I'm not sure that the existence in the hall is Bodhi Patriarch, the taboo must be [assimilation], bringing all living beings closer to oneself. If you want to face it directly, you can only wear a skin bag."

He remembered that when he first entered the cave, a ghost heart would inexplicably grow in his body.

Shen Lian thought that touching a taboo similar to [Ghost Planting] was actually assimilation, and Bodhi Patriarch might have three hearts.

But what puzzled him was why he was assimilated into a Spiritual Stone Monkey?

"Hiss..."

Shen Lian's eyes were stinging with burning pain. He easily surpassed Qingmu and came to the door of the Immortal Hall, immediately attracting the attention of all the Taoist priests.

The hall was fan-shaped, with three smiling Bodhi ancestors standing in the center.

The cushions were spread out around the three Bodhi ancestors, and were basically full of Taoist priests. Panhuan Cave also deliberately left a central position for Qingmu.

Only the first row was empty, after all, he had to face the Bodhi ancestors directly.

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly.

Because his perspective was not beautified by the skin, everything seemed "naked".

The three bodies of the Bodhi ancestors were hung upside down on the eaves, with ropes tied around their necks. It was obvious that the bodies were transformed from monkeys.

To be precise, they were six-eared macaques, long-armed apes, and red-butted horse monkeys.

The only thing missing was the Lingming Stone Monkey.

"Isn't it the most real Xieyue Three Hearts Cave..."

Shen Lian gritted his teeth and let his body move towards Lingming Stone Monkey. Then countless blood vessels appeared on the walls and floors in his vision.

Not only the Immortal Hall, but the entire Xieyue Three Hearts Cave was filled with flesh and blood.

"Xieyue Three Hearts Cave is indeed in the body of Bodhi Patriarch."

Shen Lian looked at the three monkey corpses again. The ropes at their necks had turned into blood vessels. The monkey corpses were clearly the three hearts of Bodhi Patriarch.

Boom, boom, boom.

The monkey corpses' heartbeats continued.

Shen Lian covered his chest, and his immortal bones began to change.

If he continued to bear the taboos of Bodhi Patriarch, the pictographic curse would be completely lost, and the special features of Lingming Stone Monkey would be irreversible.

Shen Lian quickly took out his skin bag and turned into Bodhi Patriarch.

The assimilation taboo came to an abrupt end, and the pictographic curse took over the body again. After a few breaths, there was no trace of Lingming Stone Monkey.

Shen Lian stepped into the futon room, and a desperate roar came from the door.

"Shen...Lian..."

Qingmu's body and soul were about to collapse. He almost desperately crawled to the Immortal Hall, repeating in his mouth, "That's my chance."

He stared at the empty cushions in the middle row, and continued to walk with blood in his mouth and nose.

Shen Lian, a reincarnated immortal god like you will never understand the price we ordinary people have to pay to become immortals. Why?

Qingmu watched Shen Lian approaching the middle row, and his magic power kept surging.

"Why?!!"

Qingmu opened his mouth, and the wounded Dao Infant came out.

"Even if my soul flies away, I will drag you into the yellow..."

Qingmu's eyes widened, but he saw Shen Lian passed the middle row and came to the first row of cushions. After checking them one by one, he sat on the far right.

"You..."

Qingmu squatted in the same place in disbelief. He had always regarded Shen Lian as an imaginary enemy, but the latter didn't even bother to take shortcuts.

Poof.

The body and soul completely collapsed, and the Dao Infant followed him to ashes.

Before Qingmu died, he only saw Shen Lian skillfully taking out an old yellow paper from the corner of the futon, as if he had been to the cave a thousand years ago.

"Haha."

Shen Lian looked back and saw Qingmu rotted away with a self-deprecating look on his face.

"What a pity, otherwise the immortal bones could be used to nourish the instrument."

Shen Lian lowered his head and scanned the yellow paper.

After he noticed the futon, he used his wisdom eye to identify it intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't expect that there was actually a follow-up to the suicide note of Taoist Hongmei.

[The three-headed demon monkey turned into Bodhi Patriarch and ate everyone. Fortunately, Senior Sister Qingya didn't die. She used her head to guide me to avoid danger. ]

The following paragraphs were extremely chaotic, recording the experience of Taoist Hongmei avoiding the demon monkey.

Her mental breakdown, Shen Lian even suspected that the so-called Senior Sister Qingya had already died, but only imagined that the head was still alive.

[My senior sister and I found the Bodhi Patriarch hiding in Fangcun Mountain together! ]

[He's crazy! ]

[The three-headed demon monkey was deliberately attracted by him, and the whole family was slaughtered by Bodhi Patriarch. ]

[Bodhi Patriarch swallowed the three-headed demon monkey in front of me, and... refined it into a monkey, but he was still not satisfied. ]

[I was locked up in the Immortal Hall, and Bodhi Patriarch wanted to turn me into the fourth monkey, the Lingming Stone Monkey. Help, help! ]

Shen Lian turned to the back of the yellow paper, and there was only a line of bloody words.

[Don't practice... the Great Heavenly Immortal Art! ! ]

"The Great Heavenly Immortal Art that Taoist Hongmei saw is probably a strange secret method created by Bodhi Patriarch to breed Lingming Stone Monkey."

Shen Lian got goose bumps all over his body, and the moment he looked up, the three Bodhi Patriarchs sang the woodcutter's happy song in a weird tone.

"Watching the chess pieces rot, chopping wood, walking slowly at the valley entrance by the clouds, selling firewood and wine, laughing wildly..."

The three Bodhi ancestors sang and clapped, just like monkeys raised by street performers.

"The three monkeys who are in the world are likely to have some residual intelligence. Through the identity of the Three Heart Taoist, they have been looking for a way to get away from Bodhi Patriarch."

How could Bodhi Patriarch go crazy?

After singing once, the three Bodhi Patriarchs began to chant a second time, their voices became more hysterical, and their fangs were exposed.

Shen Lian had an inexplicable impulse in his heart, wanting to sing the Le Zai song together.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the other Taoists chanting in unison, obviously following their instincts, and then their bodies showed the peculiarities of various Taoist sects.

The peculiarities are so strange that it is inevitable that the skin will be damaged.

The Taoists are in a perspective where it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they are also experiencing the taboo of assimilation. The teaching of the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art has already begun invisibly!

Shen Lian reacted.

Bodhi Patriarch is still looking for the Lingming Stone Monkey. The purpose of Le Zai Ge is to reveal his true self. First, check if there is a Lingming Stone Monkey among his disciples. If not, then use the Great Heavenly Immortal Art.

Bodhi Patriarch looked at Shen Lian, his eyes full of eagerness.

They shouted in unison: "Disciple... why are you indifferent? Could it be... could it be that you are him? Sing! Sing!!"

The moment Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and began to sing Le Zai Ge.

Bang bang bang.
