I can't be a demon.

Chapter 147 Tang Monk can be seen everywhere

The morning light is dim.

The mountain breeze brought the chill of early winter, and seven or eight horse-drawn carriages drove along the official road towards Nujiang Town.

The body of the vehicle is painted with the ferocious beast pattern unique to the Jinwu Guards, a two-headed mountain king crawling on the ground, and is affixed with a talisman for detecting the breath of demons.

There were nearly a hundred people in the group, including three from every ten households and one from every hundred households.

The rest are all reserve forces of the Jinwu Guard.

It can be seen that they were extremely careful because it was not yet dawn and there were people holding torches to illuminate the shadows along the way.

Captain Yuan Chaozhong had a solemn expression on his face, and his exposed skin looked like fish skin.

"Master Yuan, we are still fifty miles away from the Nu River. We haven't seen any signs of demons for the time being, so there should be no danger."

"Don't be careless."

Yuan Chaozhong shook his head and added: "We were temporarily transferred to Nujiang River. On the one hand, the reserve forces need to take advantage of the rising tide of Nujiang River to learn the internal skills..."

The reservists have the internal skills qualifications, but they have not yet entered the door.

The conditions for practicing internal skills are varied, just like the corpse-transforming sutra that is sealed in a coffin. However, there are many rivers in Hongzhou, so the Jinwu Guard mainly uses the [Inspiration sutra].

The peerless demon at the source of the Inspiration Sutra is none other than a goldfish demon named the King of Inspiration.

Yuan Chaozhong paused for a moment, "On the other hand, Wan Hu has been ordered to investigate the Nujiang case, and you and I must cooperate."

"Nujiang case? It's been decades, and the two Wanhu who came before have returned without success."

"Shut up."

Yuan Chaozhong said in a deep voice: "Although it is not clear which Lord Wan Hu has arrived, it is definitely not something you and I can discuss casually."

"The Nujiang case involves a lot of things, alas."

The reservists looked at each other in bewilderment.

Many of them were born as strongmen and had never seen Wan Hu.

I heard that Wan Hu's magical powers were enough to be called immortals on land! And each of them was a country guardian who was 300 to 400 years old.

"kindness?"

Yuan Chaozhong's consciousness suddenly trembled, and he immediately left the team and looked back.

"Master Yuan, is there a demon?"

"It shouldn't be. Maybe they are just warriors who happened to be traveling the same way."

Yuan Chaozhong breathed a sigh of relief.

A thousand meters away, there was a thin man following slowly.

The man was wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He had a three-foot Tang sword on his waist, and he was indeed dressed like an ordinary man in the martial arts world.

He took a sip of wine from time to time, and a sleepy crow was perched on his shoulder.

One of the Jinwu Guards couldn't help but ask, "Master Yuan, the monsters in the Nujiang area like to disguise themselves as mortals. Could this be a monster?"

After these words were spoken, the rest of the reservists inevitably became nervous.

Yuan Chaozhong shook his head and responded: "His Qi and blood are not obvious, he is just a practitioner at the fourth stage of foundation building, so it's okay to let him go with us."

He looked odd.

The main thing is the comfort the man showed. It didn't feel like they were in the wilderness at all. Instead, it gave the illusion of a wandering scholar taking a leisurely outing.

"Let's move as quickly as possible. After all, there are a lot of reserves, and I'm afraid that some monsters will be attracted."

"kindness."

With a flick of the whip, the horse took off with heavy breaths.

Half a day later, they vaguely heard the sound of rushing water, which immediately lifted their spirits and made their internal strength more active.

"stop!"

Yuan Chaozhong sensed something was wrong and raised his hand to stop the convoy.

He noticed a series of footprints on the ground not far away. At first glance, they looked like they were left by straw sandals, but there were a few tufts of yellowish animal hair mixed in the soil.

"Everyone, be alert. The closer you get to town, the more careful you have to be!"

"Master Yuan...Master Yuan, the talisman is spontaneously combusting!"

The reservist pointed nervously at the bushes, and Yuan Chaozhong's pupils shrank slightly.

It was pitch black in the bushes, but there stood a strange man about 1.23 meters tall.

The strange man was obviously a demon. His head was crooked, his facial features showed an indescribable auspiciousness, and there were six scars on his smooth head.

"Sir, hey, do you think I look like a human?"

The monster opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs stained with blood.

"Bold evildoer!"

When Yuan Chaozhong saw the appearance of the monster, his pupils shrank slightly. He drew the sword at his waist without hesitation. His internal force surged, and fish scales covered the blade. At the same time, organs similar to fish gills grew on his neck.

Everyone retreated to the carriage, guarded by ten households, and prepared for battle.

"A little demon with forty to fifty years of cultivation."

"But the monsters in Nujiang are really fucking weird. They all have the same face."

Yuan Chaozhong signaled two of the Ten Households to encircle the monster, and he himself came within half a meter of the monster, opened his mouth and spit out a piece of scale, and slashed at the latter with the blade of his knife.

The scales penetrated the monster's arms, and two Juhu prevented the monster from escaping.

A man and a monster passed each other, and the monster's back was exposed to everyone's eyes.

It can be seen that only the hands, feet and head of the monster are in human shape. Under the tattered clothes is a body covered with animal hair. It is clearly a weasel.

"die!"

Yuan Chaozhong was well prepared and pasted a demon-subduing talisman on the monster's forehead.

He resisted the invasion of demonic energy into his body and chopped off the demon's head with a sharp knife. The head was 70% similar to the monk's.

"Huh, get rid of the remaining evil spirit and get away as soon as possible..."

The words are not finished yet.

"Sir, what do you think of us?!"

Pairs of red eyes appeared in the bushes on all sides, and the unique fishy smell of weasels spread. There were more than a dozen monsters.

"Get off the car and form a formation!!!"

Yuan Chaozhong cursed inwardly, and everyone quickly grabbed their weapons. However, the reserve troops, who had never faced a monster before, turned pale.

"Official~"

The monster crawled out of the bushes.

There were more than a dozen weasel monsters with different skills, but they all had the same monk-like face. Saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths, and they were as cunning as ordinary people. The previous monster was obviously used to test Yuan Chaozhong's strength.

Realizing that he could swallow a big fish, he couldn't wait to siege the crowd.

"Eat...eat them, and you'll become more human."

The leading weasel has been practicing Taoism for a hundred years and has no hair on his chest. His appearance and body shape have become more like that of a... monk.

The knuckles of Yuan Chaozhong's right hand turned white as he gripped the knife handle.

He knew that he would probably die here today. A demon with a hundred years of cultivation was extremely difficult to deal with. At the same time, because of its greedy nature, the weasel demon would probably not let go of anyone present.

"Listen."

"I will try my best to entangle the hundred-year-old monsters and make them afraid to act rashly. Then you can break out in the direction of Nujiang Town. As many of you as possible will escape."

"But……"

"Nothing but!"

Yuan Chaozhong's body was experiencing more and more abnormalities, with fish-like membranes appearing on all five fingers.

"Come here, you beast! Let me see how strong you are!!!"

"Ah~ What a nice autumn with cool weather~"

The starling flapped its wings and flew by slowly, landing on a branch not far from Yuan Chaozhong, with a playful look and nodding head.

I don’t know when.

The man who looked like a martial artist had already entered the encirclement of the monsters.

The smell of alcohol was spreading everywhere. It was obvious that the man was drunk and did not notice the monster in front of him, so he accidentally entered a dangerous situation.

"Damn it."

Yuan Chaozhong bit his tongue and was distracted, causing his internal energy to pause. The hundred-year-old monster immediately noticed his fleeting flaw.

After all, I have been in office for 30 years, how could I make a mistake by not paying attention to the whole thing?

There was originally a glimmer of hope, but now they have to die at the hands of the monster.

The century-old monster pounced on Yuan Chaozhong.

"what……"

The man yawned, and the movement of stretching just happened to stop the hundred-year-old monster.

The hundred-year-old monster took advantage of the situation and tried to tear off the blind blood-eating creature's arm first. However, the flesh of the creature was loose, and the smell must be...

Click click click.

There was a sound of teeth breaking from the mouth of the hundred-year-old monster.

The man's arm didn't move at all, but the hundred-year-old monster slammed into it heavily, whimpered, and its neck broke in half at 90 degrees.

It felt like a bug hitting a mountain.

Everyone looked incredulous; they had never expected the situation to take such a sudden turn.

"Have you tasted enough?"

Shen Lian chuckled, and the hundred-year-old monster was about to escape, but found that the arm in his mouth was expanding. The rock-hard muscles stretched his upper and lower jaws, and even his skull could not bear the weight.

"Eat, I told you to eat, eat more and don't stop!"

boom.

The skull of the century-old monster shattered, and its headless corpse twitched constantly.

The other monsters were in a dilemma for a moment.

"What the hell is going on in Nujiang Town? The monsters look really weird."

Shen Lian looked at the monsters one by one, and when he saw their almost identical faces, his first reaction was that they were related to Tang Monk.

The monster looks so... like Tang Monk, which is consistent with my understanding of Tang Monk.

According to the clues Li Shun had found in advance, all the monsters in Nujiang Town almost all looked like monks after transforming into human form.

And it's not just monsters.

In the past ten years in Nujiang Town, even ordinary people have been becoming like "Tang Monk".

No wonder the Nujiang case, where only a few dozen boys and girls were lost every year, would attract the attention of the imperial court and the court would send out Wan Hu more than once.

"This kind of anthropomorphic peculiarity is definitely related to Chen Guangrui."

Shen Lian used his wisdom eye on the corpse, but there was no useful information.

【Hundred-year-old weasel】

[It comes from the main stream of Nujiang River and has a history of hundreds of years. Its meat is fishy and smelly when alive, and it can be eaten after bleeding after death.]

When the monster discovered that it had hit an iron plate, it fled from the official road in panic.

Yuan Chaozhong stared at Shen Lian with fear. The latter's body suddenly grew to over two meters tall, and his terrifying aura made even him tremble with fear.

Who on earth is this person? ! !
Yuan Chaozhong's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was even more nervous than when facing the monster.

puff.

Shen Lian opened his mouth and spit.

A strong wind suddenly blew up on the official road, and more than a dozen reservists were caught off guard and fell off their horses.

Yuan Chaozhong noticed with his spiritual sense that what Shen Lian spat out was actually an inner elixir. Yes, the inner elixir that is the foundation of spiritual practice.

"he……"

The inner elixir penetrated every big tree, and the weeds were uprooted by the aftermath.

As Yuan Chaozhong watched in astonishment, the inner elixir caught up with the monsters one after another. Once it came into contact with any monster, they were all turned into minced meat without exception.

"How, how could someone use inner elixir to kill demons and monsters!!!"

Yuan Chaozhong keenly noticed that Shen Lian’s inner elixir seemed to be the power of a warrior?

He then gave up the idea. He had never heard of the existence of Yuandan warriors, not to mention that they could easily destroy demons with their inner elixir.

Shen Lian took back Yun Ling's inner elixir.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He just wanted to use a low-level monster to test the effect of the sword pill, but it turned out that the power was indeed greater than he imagined.

"But."

"I can only bully people because their demonic energy is weak. It is still not advisable to use the inner elixir as a sword pill. Well, at most, he has a bit of sword immortal style."

The mynah bird seemed to see what Shen Lian was thinking, and its eyes were full of contempt.

Where does the sword immortal demeanor come from?
Use the inner elixir to pierce through the monsters one by one, and then put it back into your mouth.

This is clearly the behavior of a demon!
