I can't be a demon

Shen Lian put away Monkey King's left foot, and sealed both his hands and feet in the lotus platform.

"Huh..."

There was nothing strange when the hands and feet touched each other. Instead, Shen Lian stared at his left foot for a moment, and the content about the Vajra Indestructible Body became more profound.

Then another Vajra Indestructible Body was comprehended.

A comparison of the two Vajra Indestructible Bodies revealed that the contents were completely different, especially when it came to the tempering of hands and feet.

Shen Lian immediately realized that the previously perfect Vajra Indestructible Body was only a fragment.

Come to think of it, how could Monkey King's one arm comprehend the Daluo Jinxian's skills? The Vajra Indestructible Body was divided into at least six parts.

They represent the latter's limbs, torso, and soul.

Shen Lian threw Sakyamuni into the alchemy furnace again. The banyan tree did not gain experience, but the elixir it produced looked extremely mysterious.

There was actually a beating heart on the branch.

"Let's go."

The roots of the teleportation tree dragged Shen Lian into the ground. Not long after, they arrived at the Qingming Temple, which was littered with corpses, attracting countless flies.

Shen Lian looked around the Qingming Temple and saw only some evil Buddhas were still resisting.

Groups of evil Buddhas were madly attacking the Qingming Temple. It was only because of the tacit cooperation of the warriors that the evil Buddhas were prevented from rushing into the temple.

Warriors occasionally died and were injured, but it was inevitable.

Boom.

After Xiao Xitian died, the ghost market became unstable. After all, the ghost market was originally a layered structure, relying on Xiao Xitian to form a large cave with a vast area.

Now that the cave has collapsed, no one knows where the ghost market will go.

Before Shen Lian recuperated, the communication teleportation tree broke out of the ground and grew a branch of 20 to 30 meters in the Qingming Temple.

The threat of the evil Buddha could not last too long, and the warriors could evacuate one after another.

He handed the dispatching power to Gao Qiu. Before he figured out Huang Mei's plan, the ghost market was indeed not suitable for long-term residence. It was the best policy to return to the mortal world for the time being.

Shen Lian had no time to investigate further. He focused on healing his injuries and at the same time guided the vast amount of vortex scriptures from the outside world back to the Niwan Palace.

Half a month later, his injuries were almost recovered.

During this period, Shen Lian turned a disaster into a blessing. He successfully branded 20 to 30 primary and secondary acupoints again. The second realm of earthly immortals can be said to be getting smoother and smoother.

The difficulty of the immortal acupoint is to accurately locate the acupoint.

Shen Lian had the lotus platform. He had determined the location of the acupoint when he was in the mortal world. Moreover, his physical strength was definitely strong enough to withstand the test.

The elixir fruit bred by Sakyamuni was also ripe.

[Buddha Heart Fruit]

[Born from the banyan tree, it can breed the heart of Sakyamuni after taking it, and it can be spiritual and wise. When it grows up, it can be branded with the true scriptures. ]

Shen Lian threw the Buddha Heart Fruit into the ghost gourd and had no intention of taking it for the time being.

He already has three hearts, and they are all Taoist immortal bones. If he has one more heart of Sakyamuni from Buddhism, it might backfire.

Shen Lian just finished recuperating when he immediately received an urgent report from Gao Qiu.

"Huh? What the hell!"

Zuo Yan has already established contact with the Tang Dynasty, but not long ago, the court unexpectedly discovered that all mortal souls were missing again.

Previously it was the heavenly soul, and now the earthly soul is also missing.

It seems that a pair of invisible hands are taking souls and souls. According to the progress, it won't take long for mortals to die.

Shen Lian knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he immediately found Shen Hansheng.

Shen Hansheng didn't say much to Shen Lian who hurried over, pointing to the ground, "Go all the way deep and you will reach the Yaochi in my dream."

"Old man..."

"It's okay, I'll lead the way. Now that I have become an immortal, I have some means of self-protection."

"Okay."

Shen Lian didn't dare to neglect it. The branches of the teleportation tree had been extending their roots a long time ago, but he didn't know where the Yaochi was.

Then the roots took the two of them and disappeared underground.

………

Yaochi is the residence of the Queen Mother of the West. There are thousands of palaces and pavilions, and the backyard is the Peach Garden.

The Peach Garden is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and even the Golden Immortal cannot see through it.

In front of each entrance and exit of the backyard, there are immortal soldiers from the Plague Department guarding, and they are also responsible for the diseases of 3,600 peach trees.

"Sisters, the Queen Mother's Peach Garden is just ahead."

The seven graceful women wore seamless heavenly clothes, and silk and satin fluttered in the wind around their waists. Their every frown and smile attracted the attention of the heavenly soldiers.

"The Queen Mother has been ill for a long time. Today, she held the Peach Banquet. It seems that she has recovered."

"Yes, the Queen Mother locked the door and refused to see outsiders. I was so worried."

The purple fairy hesitated again and again, and lowered her voice: "The Queen Mother's door was open, but she hid behind the screen. The tone of her voice when she communicated with us was really a bit strange."

"Tone?" The yellow fairy covered her mouth in surprise.

"It always feels like a... man."

"Is it true?"

"Okay, okay." The red fairy interrupted: "Since the Queen Mother is already well, how can we gossip about her."

"Okay, sister."

"Let's go and pick 23 purple-striped and yellow-core peaches as soon as possible."

There are 3,600 peach trees in the Peach Garden. 1,200 trees with small flowers and small fruits ripen once every 3,000 years, which can make mortals become immortals.

1,200 trees with layered sweet fruits ripen once every 6,000 years. After eating them, you will ascend to heaven and live forever.

Their goal this time was to get the peaches with purple stripes and yellow cores, which were the highest quality peaches from the 1,200 trees in the Peach Garden. They ripened once every 9,000 years, and eating them would make one live as long as the heaven and earth, and as long as the sun and the moon.

The seven fairies stopped whispering, and they walked into the Peach Garden without being stopped by the thick fog that covered the garden, holding bamboo baskets in their hands.

"Oh, when did the Peach Garden become so dark?"

The peach trees were lush and green, but they looked a little gloomy and scary, especially the intertwined branches, which looked like twisted hands and feet.

"Don't be surprised. Peach trees are innate spiritual roots, so it's normal to have strange phenomena occasionally."

The red-clothed fairy frowned and explained, and then continued on her way. After all, the Peach Garden was heavily guarded by the plague department, so there was no way anything could go wrong.

"Hurry up, the Queen Mother doesn't want many peaches, and they will be picked soon."

It's strange.

In previous Peach Festivals, no matter what quality of fruit, at least a hundred pieces had to be taken out, and twenty-three pieces were unprecedentedly rare.

The seven fairies walked in the Peach Garden, and soon came to the second forest.

The second forest was even more bizarre.

All the Peach Trees were covered with black vines, like bursting blue veins, and the trunks were covered with vortex holes of varying sizes.

The cave was as dark as ink, and the noisy wind blew through the woods and sank into the hole.

Sharp and piercing wails could not help but be heard.

The Seven Fairies had never seen such a scene before, and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stood there in a daze until the Fairy in Red started to urge them.

"The Peach Festival was held too hastily, and it is too late to report to the Queen Mother."

The Fairy in Red looked at the faces of the other fairies one by one, "The peach trees are probably plagued by pests and diseases. On the one hand, we should contact the Heavenly Soldiers of the Plague Department to enter the garden, and on the other hand, we should continue to pick them."

The fairies looked at each other and felt that what the Fairy in Red said made sense.

After notifying the Plague Department, figures came to several entrances and exits. Because the situation was abnormal, even the Plague God Lu Yue was alarmed.

As a powerful Daluo Jinxian, Lu Yue was in charge of the Peach Garden, and the Seven Fairies could not help but feel relieved.

The seven fairies walked through the creepy woods, and finally got out of the range and hurried to the most central area of ​​the peach garden.

They did not notice that the red-dressed fairy deliberately lagged behind.

The environment was pitch dark, and they could see ancient trees that were much taller than the other peach trees, but they were also increasingly... twisted and deformed.

They were trembling, and the fear in their hearts was beyond words.

At a glance.

There were a lot of corpses hanging on the branches of the third peach forest.

Most of the corpses were soldiers of the plague department, and there were even many familiar faces, but what frightened them the most were more than a dozen female corpses.

That's right.

Those were their own corpses.

The corpses were covered with wounds, their eyes were wide open, and blood was dripping, attracting the roots of countless peach trees to lick them.
