I can't be a demon.

Chapter 218 Level [Ksitigarbha Yama]

The Yanshan area is immersed in the joy of the New Year.

The tiger's head was suspended in mid-air.

He was responsible for guarding Yanliang Town, while Zhang Yuanzhen patrolled the other towns.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Zuo Yan has already revealed the strength of a Yuandan warrior, while retaining the characteristics of a Taoist priest, with no distinction between the two.

The reason why he was able to practice both successfully was mainly because he was immersed in the true realm of martial arts.

Zuo Yan became even more determined to follow Shen Lian till the end, even though this would cause some disharmony between his body and head, preventing the Dao Infant in his Niwan Palace from fully functioning.

He felt that as long as he bathed and taught martial arts one or two more times, the martial arts Yuandan would be able to take the lead and thus turn the tables and devour the inner power Dao infant.

There was a glimmer of excitement in Zuo Yan's eyes.

"Shen Lian is the reincarnation of an immortal Buddha, and Yanshan is the cave abode for establishing the Tao. In this way, am I not already a disciple of the immortal sect?"

He had been pursuing the immortal disciple for decades, but he never thought that he would actually have the chance to meet him.

Musha?
No matter if you are a warrior or not, you can become a disciple of the immortal. Who cares? ! !

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, which force dares to be sure that Shen Lian is a warrior? What the immortals say is the truth, and what the immortals practice is the immortal method!
Compared with Zuo Yan, Zhang Yuanzhen, who practiced the Bear and Bear Sutra, seemed hesitant.

Zhang Yuanzhen only practiced horizontal training as well. The baptism in the realm of martial arts only allowed him to perfect his martial arts, but did not bring about a transformation like Zuo Yan.

"but……"

Zuo Yan showed worry on his face and glanced at the Shen family pawnshop.

One can see that the banyan tree, one of the guardian gods, looks a little wilted. Its originally evergreen branches have no green at all, and appear lifeless.

"I don't know what the situation is like during Master Shen's retreat. If the statue of Zhong Kui can't suppress the demons, something bad will happen in Yanshan."

Zuo Yan took the initiative to practice the stance method and there was no turning back.

There was obviously something wrong with Shen Lian's retreat this time. If something serious happened, he would inevitably be deeply affected, or even die.

Zuo Yan watched the situation develop and tried his best to buy time for Shen Lian.

"Are there demons hiding among the lights of Yanliang Town?"

Yanliang Town seems to be stagnant on the surface, but being too calm is not a good thing, as it indicates that there may be a powerful demon with great power.

You know, there are about 40,000 warriors in the city.

What does 40,000 warriors mean?
A demon with a hundred years of Taoism experience strolled around the city. When it left Yanliang Town, its Taoism experience might have exceeded a thousand years.

Zuo Yan was not afraid of internal strife in Yanshan. Demons had appeared frequently in the past six months, and as a result, the number of worshippers at the Zhong Kui Temple had increased instead of decreased.

Anyone with a discerning eye can realize that the stability that has always been maintained is due to Zhong Kui’s protection.

Sudden.

Zuo Yan smelled the aroma of wine and looked towards the west city gate.

A group of foreign merchants had just entered Yanliang Town and were traveling along Hefeng Street.

They opened the seals on the wine jars just to attract people to buy the wine, and their loud calls did attract many drinkers.

Zuo Yan seemed a little impatient and contacted Captain Hong via telepathy.

"Old Hong, have the caravan rush to the Zhong Kui Temple as soon as possible. Foreign objects must be placed in the temple for half a day to avoid any trouble."

Captain Hong quickly agreed and rushed to Hefeng Street with a dozen yamen runners.

Just as the bailiffs were setting off.

A drinker accidentally dropped a wine jar, and the fragrant wine splashed everywhere.

The crowd watching exclaimed in surprise when they saw this, because they noticed that there was a strange insect hidden in the wine jar, which was as big as a palm.

The strange insect is shaped like a human head, with a bloated abdomen, and it crawls entirely on its slender limbs.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the wine jars shattered one after another, and dozens of strange insects crawled out.

The strange insects did not attack the people, but instead drilled into the bodies of wild dogs and cats. In just a few moments, they laid eggs, and new larvae were born among the flesh and blood.

Zuo Yan's pupils shrank slightly. The strange insect actually exuded a faint demonic aura. It was obviously of low level of Taoism and was sent to Yanliang Town on purpose.

Furthermore, the number of second generation larvae doubled, and the characteristics of the monsters became more obvious.

The second generation of monster insects have begun looking for pigs, sheep and other livestock. After the third generation, the insect swarm will most likely target mortals, and the fifth generation will be warriors.

They reproduced so quickly that there was no time to evacuate the people!

"damn it!"

The tiger head quickly rushed towards Hefeng Street, while Zuo Yan's body ran wildly along the alleys.

hum! ! !
The roar of elephants was heard, and the bodies of cats and dogs twitched for no reason. Demonic aura filled the air, and their flesh, blood and bones proliferated wildly, turning into elephant monsters in a short period of time.

To be precise, it was a group of skinned elephant monsters.

Zuo Yan felt a chill down his spine, and at the same time recognized the origin of the strange insect. He had seen it on the surface of an elephant that had not yet become a demon. It was a parasite.

It's called the elephant louse.

"The elephant louse has turned into a demon. What force is targeting Yanliang Town?!"

Zuo Yan gave up on dealing with the elephant monster and wanted to get rid of the elephant lice monster at the source, but the latter's reproduction speed was simply horrifying.

Just ten breaths.

The sky above Yanliang Town was already filled with black clouds, numbering at least tens of thousands.

The insect swarms have all practiced for hundreds of years and can't wait to swoop down on mortals. Those practitioners with abundant energy and blood are definitely the best insect nests.

Even though the warriors in the city did not retreat, they used their strength to seal their mouths and noses and stood in front of the powerless women and children.

But it doesn't help...

Zuo Yan's eyes turned red and he turned around and headed towards Shen's pawnshop.

He knew that only Shen Lian could break the impasse. The power behind the elephant lice was of unknown origin and they were definitely here to wipe out Yanshan.

"I hope Shen Lian's retreat has ended."

Zuo Yan pushed open the door to the backyard of the pawnshop and noticed something strange before he stepped into it.

His spiritual consciousness enveloped the pawnshop, Shen Lian's strength was exposed, he seemed uninjured, and his hot blood caused the temperature around him to surge.

Zuo Yan took a breath of cold air.

Shen Lian was seen lying at the foot of the banyan tree, his eyes wide open, his consciousness still asleep, and a purple-blue mark on his neck that was slowly shrinking.

"Shen..."

A leaf fell, covering Zuo Yan's eyes. In an instant, candles were lit in the temple, with the pawnshop as the center, and the temple priests knelt in front of the statue and chanted scriptures.

The lotus platform is revived!!!

Guided by the fishing magic, the swarm of insects gave up the blood food at their lips and flocked into the temple, clinging to the statues like moths to a flame.

The flawless lotus blossoms, and even the elephant lice cannot shake the lotus platform.

Before the people could react, they heard the sound of roots growing in the soil beneath their feet, and the demonic aura within hundreds of miles disappeared completely.

The clear blue sky illuminates the earth.

Banyan tree revived!!!

"Don't be afraid of evil spirits, there is Zhong Kui above your head!!!"

The people's shouts were deafening. Then, dozens of newly formed elephant monsters in the city lay motionless, with cracks spreading all over their bodies.

Puff puff.

The elephant monster turned into even cubes and was swallowed into the depths of the shadows.

Bone Blade Resurrection!!!

Zuo Yan was surprised and happy, and his eyes kept looking for the crow.

According to his understanding of Ba Ye, among the ghosts and gods who protect the way, Ba Ye is the most protective of his shortcomings and can't stand the scoundrels disturbing his territory.

Even though Ba Ye is a frivolous person, most of the demons that haunted Yanshan in the past were bitten to death by him.

Zuo Yan looked at the devastated Yanliang Town and shuddered.

I’m afraid Mr. Ba is going crazy!
As soon as Zuo Yan had the thought, a hurricane appeared out of nowhere and swept through the town.

Roar! ! !
Dark clouds cover the sky.

No, it is a 70-meter-high giant building standing in Yanliang Town.

After Zuo Yan saw the true form of Master Ba, he couldn't help but tremble all over. He had a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet.

It is clearly Diting!

And behind Mr. Ba, there are three buildings.

Only ruins remain of the building, but one can still see the spirit that once suppressed the underworld. An old plaque in front of the door is engraved with the name of the temple.

[King Jiang of Qin Guang], [King Li of Chu Jiang], and [Emperor Yu of Song].

Zuo Yan's heart skipped a beat. It was recorded in the classics of the imperial court that there were ten Yama Kings in the underworld. King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, and Emperor Song were the first three, and they were the supreme emperors.

"Eighth Master is not just Di Ting. Could it be that in his prime... he was carrying the Ten Kings of Hell?"

Endless black air filled the air, turning the area within a thousand miles into a living hell. The ghost realm from the ten thousand year old demons was exposed without reservation!
The ground cracked, the water of the underworld surged, and countless tongue-pulling evil ghosts crawled out.

Tongue-Pulling Hell

Sharp blades shaped like scissors were spread all over the place, and blood was dripping from the edges.

[Scissors Hell]

All the vegetation grew twisted, sharp thorns, and waves of wailing were heard.

[Iron Tree Hell]

Then, [Mirror of Sin Hell], [Steamer Hell], and [Bronze Pillar Hell] appeared one by one.

It can be seen that Mr. Ba is still far from mastering his own ghost domain [Eighteen Levels of Hell], but the first six levels are already extremely terrifying.

Rumble.

Including Lantian Street, loud noises occurred at three locations in Qianli.

The entrance and exit of the ghost market collapsed.

The actions of the starling are undoubtedly telling all the cave dwellings that the Salt Mountain is my territory, and no force is allowed to enter from now on!!!
Roar! ! !
The ghost realm disappeared in a flash, and Di Ting's trace disappeared.

To the common people, everything was plunged into darkness after the ghost realm unfolded. Only Zuo Yan and Zhang Yuanzhen witnessed the power of Di Ting.

Zuo Yan returned to his senses and order was restored in Yanliang Town.

He was hanging on the top of the roof, and the first thing he paid attention to was not Shen Lian, but the Tide Martial Arts Hall. Prince Li Huan must not die.

Li Huan stood at the entrance of the martial arts hall, with his head raised and a smile on his face.

Zuo Yan felt a little unexplained, as he always felt that Li Huan’s smile was really... inhuman. He looked at the martial arts hall from afar again, and found that Li Huan had already returned to the room.

He frowned slightly, and while he was distracted, a large number of yamen runners began to evacuate the crowd.

The panic of the people had long disappeared with the arrival of Zhong Kui. As the sun was setting, he went home to make a fire and cook.

They would just burn a stick of incense to the statue of Zhong Kui enshrined in the hall.

"Zuo Qianhu."

Zuo Yan came back to his senses and Shen Lian in the courtyard opened his eyes.

Shen Lian pinched his temple, and his consciousness just came out of the dream of the yellow-fanged old elephant. He then noticed that there were traces of monsters left in various urban areas, but they had all become the experience of fishing magic.

"Lion Camel Ridge is really impatient and must resolve the curse as soon as possible."

Shen Lian summoned the career panel.
