I can't be a demon.

Chapter 243: Reenactment of a Thousand Years Ago

The journey to Lion Camel Ridge was longer than Shen Lian had imagined.

He lost his five senses and could only perceive endless darkness around him, as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. His sixth sense kept giving him warnings.

The mynah bird was no longer as arrogant as usual, hiding in Shen Lian's sleeves and keeping silent.

The lotus platform that protects the body and soul was rapidly igniting, and the petals disappeared one after another.

"When the sixth-grade lotus platform traveled through the Buddhist kingdom in the dream, it only lost a petal. What is the situation in Lion Camel Ridge? It is so dangerous!"

Shen Lian had no choice but to pour his strength into the lotus platform continuously.

The lotus platform emitted a burst of Taoist light, and the speed of the petals' spontaneous combustion slowed down, but the Taoist light was still extremely conspicuous, and Yunling Taoist Infant was warned.

Shen Lian's eyelids twitched wildly, and an inexplicable gaze passed by.

He quickly restrained his breath, and even stopped maintaining the lotus platform, allowing his body to come into contact with the darkness. Immediately, a huge amount of resentment surged into his body.

The pitch-black darkness was actually made up of resentment.

Shen Lian endured the discomfort in his internal organs just to get closer to the resentment, while his wisdom eye ability was ready to be used at any time.

"Mou..."

He treated it as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and regardless of the fact that his internal organs were gradually dissolving, he opened the vertical eye between his brows.

There was a vague feeling of a huge monster passing by. With my vertical eyes, I could only see the huge horn on its head. The size of the horn alone was nearly a hundred meters.

[The 'Bull-Faced Yin God' occupation has been triggered, but the necessary conditions are missing and the job cannot be taken.]

"Bull head?"

Shen Lian's hair stood on end. Niu Tou's skills were far beyond his imagination.

No, Niu Tou’s level cannot be described as that of immortals and Buddhas thousands of years ago. It can be seen that the current situation in the underworld is not optimistic. Perhaps the six realms of reincarnation in the world of Journey to the West have collapsed.

"Lion Camel Ridge is indeed falling into the ground little by little."

Shen Lian stared at the career panel until the Ox-Faced Yin God's prompt disappeared, then he urged the Eighth-Rank Lotus Platform to head towards Lion Camel Ridge again.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of Niutou, I'm just an insignificant ant.

"The true scripture should not cause the Three Realms to fall. At most, it will cause the mortal world to collapse."

"The reasons for the collapse of Heaven, Lingshan, and Hell still need to be further investigated."

Shen Lian's slackness caused by his career advancement to the fifth level has completely disappeared. Perhaps he is able to protect himself against ordinary monsters, but he is still not enough to face the unfathomable Three Realms.

He showed his discerning eye.

[Identification failed, Ksitigarbha Yama experience +0.01%]

"puff."

Shen Lian vomited blood. The resentment from the underworld was like a cancer attached to his bones, silently integrating into his flesh and bones, and it was difficult to remove it with a wise eye.

"The source of the resentment in the underworld is probably not simple. We can only work hard to find it."

Shen Lian used his wisdom eye repeatedly, trying his best to keep the resentment balanced. After an unknown amount of time, his body and soul finally fell into Lion Camel Ridge.

.........

When he arrived at the cave, the first thing he felt was complete silence.

Shen Lian found himself in a closed and dilapidated temple. There was a desolate wilderness nearby, with faint signs of demonic activities.

It’s just that the demons are of low spiritual power and are very afraid of ruined temples.

The statue enshrined in the dilapidated temple looked a little old, but he could still recognize it at a glance. The image was exactly the [Mummified Buddha] of Qinglin Academy.

The statue is kneeling, as if it is a prisoner atoning for his sins.

“Although the dried corpse Buddha is also a ten-thousand-year-old demon, he is a bit out of place in Lion Camel Ridge.”

Shen Lian frowned slightly.

The three monsters of Lion Camel Ridge are all Buddha's mounts, but they do not have the slightest Buddha nature. In the original work, they have eaten tens of thousands of mortals.

"So, I am probably on the outskirts of Lion Camel Ridge now."

"That's good. We don't have to face the three monsters in Lion Camel Ridge directly. All we have to do next is find a medium to breed the teleportation tree, and we can move forward and backward freely."

"Cough cough cough."

Shen Lian covered his chest with his hands. Purple and black blood vessels were spreading on the surface of his skin. The resentment was madly corroding his flesh and slowly seeping into his bone marrow.

"It's been a long time since I last felt the pain of resentment. I'm a little uncomfortable with it." With the use of the Wisdom Eye, the resentment in the underworld began to fade. At the same time, the Immortal Profound Art was also absorbing the resentment to temper the body.

"It's a blessing in disguise. The Immortal Profound Art is enough to help the body reach the ultimate level of Dao Infant."

Shen Lian must pursue perfection in his advancement to the Eight Realms of the Divine Journey in preparation for his future immortality. The resentment in the underworld can save a lot of resources.

"It's just that... the timing is a bit inappropriate, and the strength will be reduced by 30% to 40%."

"Ah~"

Shen Lian noticed that the starling had woken up, and fearing that it would urinate or defecate anywhere, he threw it out.

"Ah~ Mount A-Lian, your ride is too bumpy, what use is there for you!"

Shen Lian was too lazy to pay attention to the starling, and his bony spine extended out.

He was just about to use his wisdom eye to get a glimpse of the statue's information, but as soon as he came within ten meters, the starling suddenly stopped making noise.

Shen Lian stopped immediately.

The statue remains motionless, but an invisible taboo has been exerted on the ruined temple.

A few candles were lit, and a draft blew through the hall. The shadow of the statue cast on the wall was extremely distorted, and the posture seemed as if it was struggling.

"The taboo is not directed at me. Who is the origin of the mummy Buddha?!"

The mummy Buddha's original body has been practicing Taoism for ten thousand years, and the taboos, in a sense, have the ability to change the rules.

Shen Lian did not rush to leave the dilapidated temple. He hurried to the door and took a look.

The eyes between the eyebrows are open.

With the blessing of the primordial spirit, everything within a hundred miles can be seen clearly.

Shen Lian's scalp tingled, because the Baili Mountain Range was almost exactly the same. The scenery on all the mountaintops was highly consistent, and the rugged paths, rugged rocks, and vegetation were also the same.

It was like the mapping software in the previous life, cloning hundreds of mountains by copying and pasting.

There are ruined temples on the top of the mountain, and it is forbidden to riot at the same time.

Shen Lian looked up and saw the plaque on the dilapidated temple clearly read "Jinshan Temple". He had the impression that it was the temple where Tang Monk became a monk when he was still a mortal.

"What the hell? Can anyone tell me if this is Lion Camel Ridge?!"

At this moment, the statue of the dried Buddha came to life and said, "Master Faming!"

"Master Fa Ming!"

The mummified Buddha statues in hundreds of temples spoke in unison, and the sound echoed through the mountains.

"Fa Ming, Master Tang Seng should be Fa Ming, right?" Shen Lian waited seriously, and the mynah bird was also circling in the air nervously.

"Master Fa Ming, Jin...Jin Chanzi is coming!!!"

The dried Buddha was hysterical, "Quickly fetch the true scripture and send it to Lion Camel Ridge!"

The taboos are getting stronger.

There were a large number of demons in the mountains who rushed to the ruined temple for no reason. Most of them were common wolf demons and tiger demons, and their cultivation was no more than 20 to 30 years.

Click click click.

When the demon stepped onto the mountain path, flesh, blood and bones began to grow continuously.

Shen Lian watched helplessly as the demons' appearances became closer to those of humans, and without exception, they all became old monks.

Obviously, under the influence of taboos, the demon is transforming into the so-called monk Fa Ming.

"What you say is what you say?!"

"It's not that my words can bring about reality." Shen Lian pinched a grain of Buddha sand and noticed that it was the Buddha sand that got into the monster's mouth and nose, which caused the monster to behave strangely.

"Reshaping, the taboo of the Mummy Buddha is to reshape and forcibly distort the body and soul of a living being."

Shen Lian had a complicated expression.

"Sending the true scriptures? Is the dried corpse Buddha reenacting the experience of Lion Camel Ridge thousands of years ago? Will the Middle Vehicle Buddhism be within reach?"

Shen Lian suddenly felt out of place in the mountains.

"Wait, I'm a fucking outsider!"
