I can't be a demon

"Ksitigarbha, here we come."

As soon as they stepped into the Dao torture room, they disappeared in the interplay of light and shadow.

The ruins of Shangqing Palace were completely silent.

Not long after, there was a sudden sound of roots growing in the corner.

The teleportation tree grew vigorously, and in a moment it was more than seven or eight meters tall. Then there was a flash of spiritual light at the entrance of the cave, and Shen Lian was about to get out.

Whoosh.

The teleportation tree was pulled deep into the ground by invisible forces.

………

Shangqing Hall, closed hall.

The closed hall is used to temporarily detain immortals who have become possessed by evil spirits. Usually, only those with cultivation levels above the level of immortals can receive such attention.

There was no one visible inside the house, and more than a dozen immortal soldiers were drawing spiritual patterns on the wall surface.

Their eyes were filled with fear, and from time to time they looked towards the center of the room, where a bloody corpse hung. The ends of its limbs trembled occasionally, obviously still alive.

"Giggle."

The upper and lower teeth of the corpse collided, and as the magic circle was completed, the movement became more intense.

Some immortal soldiers couldn't help but asked softly: "Boss, is he... dead? After all, he is the Eight Tribes of God, why did he die inexplicably?"

"Shut up!!"

The leading immortal soldier scolded and grabbed the man's arm.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Not to mention the eight righteous gods, the Queen Mother is also the same... the disaster sweeping through the heaven is definitely not something we can inquire about."

The sounds of swallowing were endless, and their movements were distorted by extreme fear.

So what if I'm in the Immortal Class?

Facing the strange and inexplicable calamities of heaven and earth, no one can maintain a calm mind.

The leading immortal soldier lit the incense to stabilize the mind, and everyone calmed down one by one. It took half a day to complete the arrangement of the magic circle.

The magic circle is blessed by the Shangqing Palace, and Daluo Jinxian cannot easily break free.

If nothing else goes wrong, after the Three Purities Discussion is over, Taoist ancestors should come forward to dispose of all the corpses in the closed hall.

"Exit first!"

The leading immortal soldier looked around and reminded: "You must remember to stay in groups of twos and threes no matter what. Don't let your colleagues leave your field of vision, otherwise you will die."

After that, he carefully opened the door.

The moment the immortal soldiers left, the corpse began to shake crazily, and there was a rustling sound that echoed, making his scalp numb.

They turned around subconsciously, only to see the body's back bulging high.

Gaps opening in the spine.

The corpse was like the reborn chrysalis of an insect, with plant roots growing out, and it was vaguely possible to tell that a man was about to appear.

"Hurry! Close the door quickly!! Don't hesitate!!"

"The god of plague, Lu Yue, has died. The person who emerged from the corpse is definitely not him. It must be related to the main plant of the flat peach tree. Hurry!!!"

The immortal soldiers fled in a hurry, and the originally orderly formation was broken up.

The man held up his hands and fell into the dark shadows.

He was Shen Lian, and he glanced at the half-hanging corpse with his peripheral vision.

"Is it Lu Yue?"

"Is there any mistake? Why did I replace the God of Plague? And why did the God of Plague die inexplicably on the eve of the calamity of heaven and earth?"

Shen Lian was certain that the body that had been hanging in the house was just a skin.

The corpse appeared to be intact on the surface, but in fact it had been hollowed out for some time, as if something had broken out of the cocoon.

[Corpse of the Plague God]

[Originally, he was Emperor Wenhuang Haotian of the Heavenly Court Plague Division. After his death, his body was not allowed to be reincarnated. There is a residual soul in Niwan Palace. 】

With a thought in Shen Lian's mind, the remnant soul of the God of Plague was wrapped in a lotus platform and landed in Niwan Palace.

He looked around and found that the magic circle on the wall was extremely complicated. The immortal soldiers had locked the door tightly, and it seemed difficult for him to leave.

Shen Lian didn't panic too much, after all, the teleportation tree followed him to think about it.

He can escape to the mortal world at any time.

"Hey."

Shen Lian frowned slightly, then took out the Taoist Talisman from the core.

【Taoist Talisman of Shangqing Palace】

[Refined by Lingbao Tianzun, you can hold the Taoist Talisman and go to the Shangqing Palace to participate in the Fruit of Inanimate Tao. Remember, and listen to the insects! ! ! 】

Shen Lian Yuanshen communicated with Guandao Fu and noticed that Shangqing Palace no longer resisted him.

He can even ignore the magic circle and enter and leave freely.

"I don't know how long it will be until the fruit of the inanimate path is reached. Otherwise, it should be safer to just stay here for the time being..."

Just when Shen Lian had an idea, there was suddenly the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside the door.

Accompanied by the shrill screams of the immortal soldiers, the sound echoed in all directions, as if there were unspeakable monsters slaughtering them wantonly.

Shen Lian's pupils narrowed.

All the immortal soldiers have cultivation levels above that of human immortals, and with the standard treasures issued by the Ministry of War, they cannot be killed so easily.

Shen Lian hesitated for a few breaths, and the roots of the teleportation tree quietly extended to the outside world.

What he saw shocked him.

In the corridor, the corpses of more than a dozen immortal soldiers were scattered everywhere, with wounds of varying sizes all over their bodies, as if they had been bitten.

At the same time, next to each corpse, there are also strange people with the same appearance.

The strange body and soul had the same aura, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which gave Shen Lian an extremely awkward feeling, a kind of horror that seemed human but not human.

They stared at the body and made gurgling sounds.

Listening carefully, it seems that the weirdo is trying his best to imitate the tone of ordinary people. At the same time, the wound heals quickly and his breath becomes the same.

Click click click.

The weird man's upper and lower jaws stretched to his abdomen, like a snake devouring its prey, swallowing the corpse of the immortal soldier bit by bit into his belly. His throat squeezed the flesh and bones into a ball, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The weird and inexplicable scene made Shen Lian feel numb.

After a while.

The weirdos could no longer see any flaws, and were talking to each other while patrolling in the closed hall.

Shen Lian retracted the roots of the teleportation tree, and had a vague premonition that if the weirdos noticed his presence, he might be in danger.

According to the previous conversation between the immortal soldiers, if they were alone, they would be attacked.

"Maybe she knows something."

Shen Lian communicated with the teleportation tree, and the starling crawled into the tree hole, followed by the jade rabbit.

As soon as the starling arrived at the Shangqing Palace, its feathers exploded as if in a stress response.

The jade rabbit said in disbelief: "Shangqing Palace? Could it be that the Heavenly Palace is still intact? It's impossible. Sister Chang'e said that the Heavenly Palace has..."

She covered her mouth, and a pair of rabbit ears drooped down.

Shen Lian deliberately asked the starling to bring the jade rabbit to the Shangqing Palace.

Although the jade rabbit usually knows nothing, as a person who experienced the heaven and earth calamity, she was in Guanghan Palace near the Heavenly Palace at that time, so she more or less knew the situation during the heaven and earth calamity.

"Yutu, tell me more about it."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand anything at all."

Yutu started to act dumb again, grabbed the candlestick and turned it into a carrot to eat.

"Yutu, you and I are on the same boat. If I can bring you to Shangqing Palace, I can naturally bring you to Guanghan Palace. Think about it carefully."

Shen Lian sat cross-legged and circulated the Zhoutian cycle by himself.

Yutu approached the wall and heard a strange rustling sound next door. His face suddenly became extremely solemn and he was so scared that he broke out in sweat.

"Sure enough! Sister Chang'e is right!"

Shen Lian stared at the Jade Rabbit, who hesitated for a long time and said, "Sister Chang'e mentioned it before she went crazy, but only a few words."

"She said that the end of the Three Pure Ones' discussion marks the beginning of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. Those who are invited to participate in the discussion are not necessarily immortals and gods, but also Him."

Shen Lian thought of the weirdo who swallowed the immortal weapon, and couldn't help asking, "Who is He?!!"

"I don't know either, I'm just a rabbit."

The Jade Rabbit's eyes were full of tears, "It is said that after the Three Pure Ones' discussion, all the immortals and gods went crazy, and then Sister Chang'e drove me down to the mortal world."
