I can't be a demon.

Chapter 135 Demon He Xiangu

It has been autumn for a long time, but the weather in Cangshan Town has rarely warmed up.

The grass and trees did not wither, and the clear pond in the northwest corner of the town was lush and green, with lotus flowers blooming all over the water at the end of August.

It attracts tourists and students to come here.

Cangshan Town is built on the mountain. The Qingchi Pool was formed by the erosion of mountain springs. It is relatively rare in the Yanshan area, and now it is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Vendors were hawking their wares around the clear pond, while groups of women were enjoying the view nearby.

However, what made the people a little uneasy was that the Jinwu Guards had been stationed in the town since a few days ago, and the number of yamen runners patrolling the streets day and night had also increased.

There were rumors in the streets that there was something evil going on, but people didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Hey."

Miao Yuanli walked along the shore, scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense in great detail.

Not long after they settled in Cangshan Town, they noticed a lot of unusual things. The Jinwu Guards were already urgently eliminating them, but no one knew which of the baits thrown by the White Bone Taoist was the real one.

It's too late, it's too late.

"According to Lao Ma, Hong Xiao must be in Cangshan Town, but..."

Miao Yuanli shook his head.

Cangshan Town is simply a portrayal of the series of disasters in Baigu Cave. Even if you try hard to prevent the disaster from happening, when you look back, you will find that other towns have inexplicably fallen.

"Who is that person? Why is Lao Ma so sure that we can break the impasse with this?"

Miao Yuanli looked around and passed by a woman in red.

"whee."

Hong Xiao sat down as if no one was around, without any concern for the Jinwu Guards in the city, and her feet, as white as mutton-fat jade, gently patted the water.

"Have the Jinwu Guards made a desperate bet? Even that Wan Hu has come to Cangshan Town. This makes me feel... flattered."

Hong Xiao changed into the body of a 28-year-old woman. Her every frown and smile was full of grace, but her eyes revealed resentment.

"A bunch of blind blood eaters, do you really think you can catch me?"

Hong Xiao smiled and reached out to trip a passing scholar, who then began to struggle frantically in the clear pool. However, his companions were unaware of what was happening and disappeared into the crowd while they were talking to each other.

For a moment.

As the scholar sank into the water, the fragrance of the lotus seemed to become even stronger.

Hong Xiao held her cheek playfully and said to herself expectantly, "There is only one girl, holding a lotus in her hand, who is extremely beautiful and extraordinary, and she is called the Fairy Lady."

"I don't know what the He Xiangu that sister is talking about looks like, hehe."

Hong Xiao gazed at the clear pool with satisfaction and stretched out her hand to ward off a few annoying flies.

In the eyes of others, the clear pond is a beautiful sight with blooming lotus flowers. But in fact, it is all an illusion created by the secret technique of the White Bone Cave.

"A bunch of mortal fools."

"When the Eight Immortals gather, the government will probably have lost the support of the people. Then we can take advantage of the chaos to hold the Eight Immortals show, and my sister will be able to come to the mortal world."

Hong Xiao licked her lips and picked a lotus leaf to block the sunlight.

All the lotus leaves were stained with spots of corpses, and at first glance they looked like a human face with distorted features, and blood was flowing from the broken branches.

The stamens are so bright and terrifying that the petals closer to the center look more like flesh and blood.

It seems like something is brewing.

The water in the pond was undulating, with densely packed corpses floating on it. They were all mortals from outside the area who had become nutrients for the growth and fruiting of the lotus flowers.

Hong Xiao was admiring the lotus flowers in ecstasy, when an old voice came from behind her.

"Sister Hong."

Hong Xiao's smile faded and she turned around with disgust, only to see an old woman walking slowly towards her, leading a pregnant donkey in her hand.

"He Ling! Why are you dressed so ugly? It really makes me sick!!"

"Sister Hong, my human-like secret technique is far from yours, so I have to be careful to avoid ruining Madam's plan."

"Humph."

Hong Xiao glanced at the old donkey and if nothing unexpected happened, the one he was carrying was Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals.

Zhang Guolao is about to be born safely. He has tried and failed thousands of times, and it is estimated that all the donkeys in the surrounding villages have died.

He Ling touched the old donkey's head and said softly, "Sister Hong, how is Lü Dongbin's reincarnation? You know, the most important thing is Lü Dongbin, and the rest are secondary."

The Eight Immortals Opera is held every ten years, and the White Bone Cave will collect the necessary resources in advance.

Usually only three of the Eight Immortals are resurrected.

The main reason was that the conditions for Lu Dongbin's resurrection were too harsh, and attempts had failed for a hundred years.

Now that the White Bone Cave has found a suitable reincarnation for Lu Dongbin, it has not hesitated to attract the attention of the imperial court and allow the Eight Immortals to be born in a short period of time.

"Sister Hong, if Lü Dongbin cannot be born successfully, all our efforts will be in vain."

He Ling showed a sad expression, "Only when the Eight Immortals gather together can we help Madam escape from the bondage of the White Bone Cave. Otherwise, it will be like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water."

"I know, you don't need to remind me!"

Hong Xiao's face looked grim, and her jade feet slapped the water surface impatiently.

"After He Xiangu is born, I will go to Yanliang Town again." Hong Xiao added with a smile: "Doesn't he regard himself as Zhong Kui who exorcises demons and monsters?"

"Hehe, then I will let the common people watch him kill and eat people, let the common people interfere with his state of mind, and force him to fall into the path of demons."

Thinking of this, Hong Xiao couldn't help but blush and bite her lips lightly.

"As expected of Sister Hong."

He Ling exclaimed: "Among the sisters, you are the best at using the psychological tactics taught by Madam. I am relieved now."

After she finished speaking, she led the old donkey away from Cangshan Town.

Hong Xiao waited in boredom. The fragrance of lotus flowers became stronger and stronger. The corpse in the water had lost all its flesh and blood, leaving only piles of bones.

It didn't take long.

The lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the sound of babies crying could be heard. The people took several steps back in confusion, and they had obviously heard the noise in the pond. Then, the Jinwu Guards came over without any prior arrangement.

The bailiffs guided the people to stay away, as a magic circle had already covered Cangshan Town.

Hong Xiao was not panicked at all. "One, two, three, four... Hehe, a total of seven bodies suitable for He Xiangu's rebirth. Not bad, not bad."

"Cangshan Town has been deserted for too long, let's make it lively again."

Hong Xiao clapped his hands, and the hidden tricks in various places in the city were exposed one after another. There were actually more than a dozen thousand-year-old ghosts who were used to distract the Jinwu Guards.

She dived into the clear pool.

Ignoring the stench of the corpses, pick the baby in the center of the pistil.

Hong Xiao picked out a baby and the rest sank to the bottom of the water. Suddenly, blood-red bubbles emerged from the clear pool and the water began to boil.

"The bodies used to give birth to the Eight Immortals are all extremely evil and sinister. The monsters they spawned are enough to make thousands of households suffer. Interesting, really interesting."

Hong Xiao held the baby in her arms and sat lightly on the lotus leaf.

She was not in a hurry to escape, but planned to watch the Jinwu Guards suppress the demons from a close distance. She did not feel that the Jinwu Guards could pose any threat to her.

Whoa whoa whoa.

The clear pool water splashed, as if a huge creature was swimming in it.

"That evil woman is in Cangshan Town. I'm afraid she is watching us from behind!"

Miao Yuanli had a grim expression on his face and immediately activated his secret technique.

Huge rocks fell off the rock wall and smashed heavily into the clear pool. The turbid water was bottomless and a large number of bone fragments floated to the surface.

"asshole!!!"

Veins bulged out of Miao Yuanli's forehead, and his flesh, blood, and bones showed signs of petrification, which caused his body to swell to about four meters.

Ma Wanhu sat in a sedan chair and stood above the Qingchi Lake.

"Lao Miao, I will take care of Qingchi, you help Zhang Yuanzhen and the others to eliminate the demons, otherwise the casualties among the people will be unstoppable!"

"it is good."

Miao Yuanli walked towards the nearest thousand-year-old corpse ghost.

Ma Wanhu sneered a few times, "Hong Xiao, I know you are in Qingchi, why don't we make a bet and find your true body within one incense stick."

whee.

Hong Xiao responded by covering her mouth and laughing softly.

Bang! A deformed baby's hand stretched out from the water, its skin covered with flesh-and-blood vegetation similar to lotus flowers, and a strong aura of resentment filled the face.

The baby in Hong Xiao's arms is still pure and innocent.

There were even strange phenomena accompanying it. A faint purple aura burst out from between the eyebrows, and there were several rays of light lingering above the head, as if an immortal god were in the world.

But the six abandoned babies were infected with resentment and turned into horrific monsters.

It can be seen that the methods of the White Bone Cave are very strange. Even the Eight Immortals who were born safely were probably just demons with a false appearance.

Roar! ! !
A giant baby, about thirty or forty meters long, appeared. It had six heads on its neck, all of which were extremely beautiful. Its eyes were like lotus flowers, and there was a red thread wrapped around a strand of hair on its forehead.

"A three thousand year old ghost?!"

Even though Ma Wanhu was mentally prepared, he still looked shocked.

What on earth was used to breed the monsters in the White Bone Cave? Could it be the bones of immortals or gods? Why did it take three thousand years for the monsters to be born?
Roar!
The fairy ghost spewed out resentment, and invisible taboos began to spread.

Ma Wanhu felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and then a lotus bud grew out, and his body and soul suddenly fell into uncontrollable decline.

The fairy ghost stared at Ma Wanhu with greedy eyes.

"What a weird taboo, it barely gives me a chance to breathe!"

"Damn it, once three lotus flowers grow on my shoulders and head, no matter how powerful my cultivation is, I will become fertilizer for the ghosts to cultivate!"

Ma Wanhu narrowed his eyes, and his three souls and seven spirits left his body at the same time.

The soul turned into a magic circle to block the resentment, preventing the fairy ghost's taboo from affecting Cangshan Town, and faced the erosion of resentment alone.

Whoa whoa whoa.

The fairy ghost found that she could not eat blood and began to cry in grievance.

Ma Wanhu's body was not attacked by ghosts, but his growing resentment caused his body and soul to lose control, and the lotus on his left shoulder had already bloomed.

Pooh.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and used his three souls and seven spirits to continuously perform secret techniques to resist the resentment.

Ma Wanhu had no idea how long it would take Shen Lian to reach Cangshan Town. He only knew that as soon as Shen Lian left Yanliang Town, he transformed into a gigantic monster and hurried on his way, making it impossible for the Jinwu Guards to catch him.

"It doesn't matter if I die, but I will never let the White Bone Taoist be happy, haha."

Ma Wanhu's flesh and blood shriveled up, and his soul swelled up due to the blessing. He single-handedly held back the fairy ghost, allowing the people to evacuate smoothly.

Hong Xiao curled her lips.

In her opinion, although Ma Wanhu also practiced the Taoist tradition of Baigu Cave, his internal strength was simply a poor imitation.

"That's ridiculous."

"The internal strength is neither fish nor fowl. It is not as good as that of a warrior, and it is far inferior to that of a demon."

"It is useless for the imperial court to delve into inner strength. It is better to pay tribute to our cave directly, send blood food every year, and let the alchemists protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty."

Hong Xiao shook the baby, "I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with you in the pond. He Xiangu was born not long ago and needs blood to fill her stomach..."

thump.

dong dong.

dong dong dong.

The earth is shaking from far to near.

"what is that?"
