I can't be a demon.

Chapter 178 [Evil Moon Three Heart Cave]

"Bodhi Patriarch..."

Shen Lian noticed the subtle difference in Qinghe's words.

What the other party was talking about was the [Evil Moon Three Hearts Cave], not the [Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave] in his impression, the cave of Bodhi Patriarch.

Shen Lian suppressed the trembling caused by the Eight-Gate Guanyin Magical Summoning God, narrowed his eyes and asked: "You... have been to the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that there is a chance for immortality in the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave. Even though it is full of dangers, many fellow Daoists are eager to go there."

Qinghe had a strange expression on his face, obviously realizing that Shen Lian was not aware of the secrets of Huaguo Mountain.

Could it be that... we came to the White Bone Cave just to fill our stomachs?

At this time, because of the previous suppression of the fake Bodhisattva in the White Bone Cave, the remaining white bone throne became extremely unstable.

Shen Lian's mind moved, and naturally he would not let go of the massive amount of experience he had obtained.

Whoosh.

The bony spine broke out of the body, pulling the bony thrones to its side.

Shen Lian noticed Qinghe's indescribable expression and said, "My name is Shen Lian, what is your name, fellow Taoist?"

"Bai...Bai Gu Cave, Qinghe."

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe, do you need the fake Bodhisattva's throne?"

"No, fellow Daoist...please."

Shen Lian was just testing it. He was determined to gain the experience of the Bone Throne. If Qinghe became greedy, he would just take action.

He opened his mouth and spit out a spiritual light, which disappeared into the bone throne.

Qinghe hesitated to speak.

If she was not mistaken, Shen Lian actually threw his own Taoist infant into the bone throne.

You know, there is a huge amount of resentment and countless low-level ghosts inside. Isn't he afraid that the Taoist infant will be harmed?
Click, click, click.

The sound of someone swallowing something whole could be heard.

Cold sweat broke out on Qinghe's forehead. It was obvious that Shen Lian's Dao Infant was devouring ghosts, and the Dao Infant made sounds of praise from time to time.

really.

If a person is not normal, the condensed Tao infant cannot be normal either.

What kind of warrior? Would a warrior go against the will of the Heavenly Gang and treat demons as blood food? ! !
Shen Lian smiled. His Lotus Blood Seed experience, which had already reached 80%, was overflowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe, why is it called the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave? What is Immortal Fate?"

Qinghe did not hide it. After all, Shen Lian might be the reincarnation of an immortal or Buddha, and he might have had an unclear relationship with Madam White Bone in his previous life.

"The cave mansion's original record was the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave."

"I don't know the details, but I know that all the alchemists who have entered and exited the cave have inexplicably called it the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave."

"As for the immortal fate..."

Qinghe emphasizes the words "evil" and "heart", and feels inexplicably nervous whenever he mentions them.

"It is the fate of immortality. As long as the alchemist leaves the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave safely, no matter how deep his cultivation is, he can achieve immortality."

The lifespan of the Jinwu Guards is not short. A Dao Infant at the seventh level can easily live for four to five hundred years. The lifespan of an alchemist is 30% longer than that of a Jinwu Guard.

But no matter what, they are still ordinary people.

The immortal fruit that prolongs life in the world of Journey to the West can increase one's lifespan by tens of thousands of years. So, a thousand years of lifespan is nothing at all.

"Something's wrong."

The entire Journey to the West revolves around the immortality brought by the flesh of Tang Monk.

If you can achieve immortality just by going to the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave, it would be too cheap.

You know, no matter how dangerous the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave in Qinghekou is, since the alchemists who have not yet become immortals can enter and exit it smoothly.

Wouldn't it be that immortality is everywhere?

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe, how do they know that I am immortal?"

Qinghe shook his head and explained softly: "Fellow Daoist, you should know the Ghost Market. After the tenth level, every breath in the Ghost Market will consume one year of life. Only those immortality alchemists can survive."

"Immortal alchemists." Shen Lian repeated it and then asked, "What are their characteristics?"

"On the back... a [spiritual root plant] with a strong medicinal fragrance grew."

Qinghe looked eager, "Daoyou, you should go to Huaguo Mountain and take a look. Then you will know that the rumors about the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave are not false."

Shen Lian did not reply.

Since practicing martial arts, his memory has become better and better, and he has long recalled the Journey to the West, which he had only skimmed through in his previous life.

Combined with the original text, he actually had deep doubts about whether Xieyue Sanxin Cave had the art of immortality.

No.

Even the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon may not necessarily hold the secret of immortality.

In the original text, Sun Wukong went out to sea in order to achieve immortality, and came to the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon on Mount Lingtai, where he became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.

After Sun Wukong stated that he only wanted to learn the art of immortality, Patriarch Bodhi hit him on the head three times and finally taught him the art of immortality in the middle of the night.

It seems like what I wanted was achieved.

In fact?

Not long after Sun Wukong returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain after completing his studies, his lifespan ran out and his soul was taken away by the underworld's evildoers.

He opened the book of life and death, which clearly stated that he had lived to be 342 years old.

It was not until Sun Wukong erased his name from the Book of Life and Death and removed all the monkeys from the Flower-Fruit Mountain that he achieved true immortality.

Shen Lian initially thought that perhaps Sun Wukong was too playful in nature and had not fully mastered the art of immortality, but after thinking about it carefully.

In fact, the other methods of the Tao taught by Patriarch Bodhi also have problems.

The other one is the Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Fiends.

Taoism is extremely mysterious, but Patriarch Bodhi said that Sun Wukong has a pointed face and monkey cheeks, which makes him different from other people, so he would have defects if he learned the 72 Earthly Transformations.

The result was indeed so, Sun Wukong's Seventy-two Transformations had a lot of flaws.

The tail cannot change, the butt cannot change, the face cannot smile. Later, Sun Wukong went through the smoke and fire of the alchemy furnace, and gained a pair of fire eyes that were afraid of smoke. It always felt like the immortals and Buddhas were intentionally weakening him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so embarrassed when facing Red Boy.

Shen Lian certainly hoped that he was overthinking it. No matter who the old Taoist Bodhi was, he must be a powerful being from both the immortals and the Buddhas. If even he had fallen, then could this world still be saved?

"Where is the exact location of the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave?"

"I'm not sure. There may be more than one entrance and exit. I only know that Huaguo Mountain has a hidden entrance and exit leading to the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave."

Qinghe looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual around him.

According to common sense, the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave is a secret of the White Bone Cave that is not passed on. Telling it to outsiders will make Madam White Bone unhappy.

Now the cave is peaceful and calm. Well, there must be a bad fate.

Shen Lian recalled the location of Xieyue Sanxin Cave, which should be in Xiniu Hezhou.

Logically speaking, Bodhi Patriarch was a Taoist immortal, but he set up his cave under the nose of Tathagata Buddha.

It’s a bit weird when you think about it.

[Lotus transformation blood species reaches 90.03%, martial arts points +4]

The bone throne in Shen Lian's palm turned to ashes, but Yun Ling Daoying was still not satisfied and drilled into the next bone throne.

Qinghe felt even more in awe of Shen Lian.

There is only one person in this world who can treat demons as consumables for cultivation.

The two of them were full of thoughts.

Rumble.

The ground of the Trident Bone Mountain began to shake, and the sound of Master Zi's singing became louder and louder, causing thousands of monkey ghosts on the Bone Mountain to roar incessantly.

You can see resentment pouring into Bone Mountain, and the temperature around it drops to freezing point.

"This is……"

Qinghe bowed and said, "Master Zi has already refined his weapon ghost. It won't be long before he will be performing on the stage in Huaguo Mountain."

"Fellow Daoist, Madam has not objected to your participation in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. If you want to take a peek at the cave, you can follow the troupe to the [Throat Bone]."

Shen Lian then learned that the throat bone was the channel connecting the White Bone Cave to the outside world, and it was engraved with a teleportation array that had been maintained for thousands of years.

"I will think about it."

Shen Lian was tempted, after all, immortality was an issue that could not be avoided.

Even if the longevity technique of Xieyue Sanxindong has some drawbacks, the profession panel may be able to help eliminate the drawbacks.

"Don't worry about your safety. Just stay alive in Huaguo Mountain until the entrance and exit are closed, and then you can leave the cave."

"Thank you for your enlightenment, fellow Taoist."

If Shen Lian wants to explore the truth behind the collapse of the Journey to the West world, in addition to having a certain level of strength and vision, living long is also a necessary condition.

He seemed to have transcended the realm of ordinary martial arts, but he had to admit one thing.

The longevity gained through martial arts is far less than that gained through internal strength and immortal arts.

"Perhaps the Flower-Fruit Mountain holds the secret of immortality. Monkey King has already crossed out the names of all his descendants from the Book of Life and Death."

"One step ahead."

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe, what should we be careful about in Huaguo Mountain?"

"I dare not...reveal it. The drama involves Madam Bones. Once she opens her mouth, she will be annihilated."

Qinghe said cryptically: "I have one thing to tell you. It's okay to come in. [You are not allowed to enter the temple at midnight]. In addition..."

"The ghosts in Huaguo Mountain are very secretive. You must be extremely careful and try not to show up before the drama is over."

After Qinghe finished speaking, the flesh and blood on his body shrank and disappeared, and cracks spread across his skeleton. This was the secret art of corpse resurrection that had been cultivated to the highest level.

As long as there is a skeleton incarnation in Huaguo Mountain, he can easily transform the corpse and escape.

Shen Lian watched Qinghe disappear.

"Ghosts? Shouldn't Huaguo Mountain be full of monsters? The 72 Demon Kings and the Seven Great Saints are all monsters with deep Taoism skills."

"It seems that the collapse of Huaguo Mountain is inevitable."

Shen Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a keen eye, ghosts were easier to deal with than monsters.

[Lotus transformation blood species reaches 100.01%, martial arts points +4]

[Whether to promote career****]

[Promotion failed, Lotus Blood Species needs to synthesize a second profession for exceptional promotion]

Shen Lian returned to the pawnshop to digest the bone throne, and at the same time thought about the affairs of Huaguo Mountain.

I don't know how much time had passed, but after everything on the bone throne turned into experience, a number of middle and lower-level stance techniques appeared in my mind.

Shen Lian scanned the career panel.

[Occupation: Lotus Blood (137.32%)]

Unfortunately, the compatibility of known demon professions is not high.

Shen Lian guessed that there was a suitable career in the Kingdom of Women, but the incarnation of the King of the Kingdom of Women had become a ghost girl, and he always felt a little guilty.

He secretly made up his mind, "No matter whether Huaguo Mountain is dangerous or not, it's better to go there and find a demon profession that can be promoted to the fourth level."

"I have to find a way to nurture the teleportation tree in Huaguo Mountain so that I can move forward and backward freely in the future."

Shen Lian understood that the most important thing for him in Huaguo Mountain was to obtain the medium. As long as the cave became his back garden, the opportunity would come sooner or later.

Just like the Bibotan Pond, when his cultivation is sufficient in the future, it would not be a bad idea to obtain the relics.

"Prepare some extra medicine bars in case of emergency."

Shen Lian took out the Danlu fruit and planted it in the corner of the wall. After watering it with blood, tender sprouts emerged.

"The mountain of bones and the sea of ​​bones in the White Bone Cave all contain a faint resentment, which can be used to breed elixirs with inferior medicinal properties. It is better to have them than nothing."

"Besides, bones are everywhere."
