I can't be a demon.

Chapter 259 Weird Guanyin (asking for monthly ticket!)
Before daybreak, there were already sporadic caravans entering and leaving Yanliang Town.

Most towns would only open their gates after daybreak, mainly to prevent demons from sneaking into the city under the cover of darkness.

This is not the case in the Yanshan area. Even in the wilderness, there are very few powerful monsters.

Several officers and soldiers leaned against the city gate and simply checked the carriages. Most of their energy was spent on standing still, with energy and blood surging through their bodies.

It attracts curious glances from outsiders.

Obviously, no one expected that Yanshan was so devoted to martial arts. Ordinary officers and soldiers were all innate warriors. It was said that there were many Yuandan warriors in the city who were comparable to centurions.

Not long after, a woman came hurriedly to Yanliang Town.

The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, then recognized the identity of the person and walked forward with a smile.

"Master Zhu, have you encountered an emergency? Do you want me to notify Master Wang Xin, or let the government know..."

Zhu Yihong had been stationed in Yanliang Town longer than Wang Xin. No matter what kind of monster it was, he dealt with it personally, which naturally won him the hearts of the people.

"kindness?"

The officers and soldiers suddenly felt the inexplicable aura emanating from Zhu Yihong and could not help but retreat several steps.

"It's okay, no need to notify them."

Zhu Yihong then restrained his breath, with a faint smile on his face, and looked towards the dark night with a slightly fearful look.

"Master Zhu, you..."

"Third Grandma, since I said it's okay, it's okay!!!"

Zhu Yihong's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, the officers and soldiers' blood surged, their consciousness became hazy, and their memories of the past half day became extremely confused.

She moved closer to the officers and soldiers, her eyes revealing unconcealable greed.

"Each of the officers and soldiers actually has such strong blood and qi. If I can eat a thousand of them, I might be able to restore my spider monster body and no longer have to hide in the body of a half-human, half-monster Taoist priest. This is ridiculous."

Zhu Yihong's voice was hoarse and old as he muttered to himself, and it was obvious that he was possessed by a demon.

The demon that possessed her called herself "Third Grandma" and her origin was Pansi Cave.

In the original version of Journey to the West, the Spider Cave is a nest of poisonous insects. In addition to the seven spider spirits, they also have sworn godsons, who are all transformed from various insects into monsters.

The one with the highest level of Taoism is the seven spider spirits’ senior brother, the centipede demon, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Jingle Bell.

Suddenly, the sound of bronze bells colliding echoed.

The people at the city gate stopped walking. They couldn't hear the source of the sound. It was as if it appeared out of nowhere in their ears, making them feel a little strange.

Only Third Grandma became nervous, and a small spider eye opened between her eyebrows.

She saw a twisted and deformed figure standing among the woods, and could vaguely make out an extremely pale face.

“The incarnation of Guanyin!!!”

"Damn it, he chased me from the Pansi Cave to the present world, and he wouldn't let me go even if I had to sacrifice most of my body and soul. Why! Why?!"

Third Grandma walked quickly towards Yanliang Town.

She was originally born in Liang Town, north of Yanshan. Just as she was about to swallow Zhu Yihong to give birth to a new body, the incarnation of Guanyin kept chasing her.

Grandma San fled to Yanshan in a panic, only to discover the strangeness of the mountain.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear.

The mountains are rich in resources, but there are almost no traces of demons, and my instinct tells me that there is another danger associated with the salt mountains.

In order to conceal the demonic aura, Third Grandma did not erase Zhu Yihong's soul. In addition, she herself was severely injured and could not read the relevant memories.

She could only perceive some information through Zhu Yihong's spiritual sense.

Yanliang Town seemed to be named "Lü Zu Temple" in the records of the mortal court, and in Zhu Yihong's cognition, it was faintly above Pansi Cave.

Third Grandma couldn’t understand the existence of Lu Zu Temple before.

After all, the caves where demons have been inhabited for thousands of years are all small worlds without exception. Caves like the one in Lu Zu Temple should only be home to ordinary demons.

"Uh?"

After entering the city, Third Grandma discovered the weirdness of Yanliang Town.

There are more warriors in the city than expected.

It can even be called a national martial arts practice. Even a child of two or three years old has the energy and blood equivalent to that of a fifteen or sixteen year old.

When the Yuan Dan warriors passed by along the street, the pure Qi and blood were simply delicious.

Third Grandma couldn't help swallowing, her greed was evident in her words.

She had no intention of enjoying the feast, but instead felt a chill running down her spine and spider eyes kept growing on her forehead.

"No! Something is wrong!!!"

"There are a total of 27,000 warrior-level blood eaters, 360 Yuandan warriors, and even a few Daoying warriors."

"Who can tell Third Grandma why there are no demons coveting Yanliang Town?"

Because Shen Lian was not in Yanliang Town, his fishing skills did not cover the Yanshan area, and Third Grandma was unable to detect the breath of the guardian ghosts and gods.

No matter how you look at it, Yanliang Town should have been reduced to blood food long ago.

She became more and more confused and a faint fishy smell wafted from her mouth and nose.

"Lü Zu Temple, Lü Zu Temple... who exactly is this sacred place?"

Third Grandma stopped and noticed out of the corner of her eye that in a quiet alley not far away, the pale face of the incarnation of Guanyin was faintly visible.

She quickly restrained her breath and followed the crowd into the market.

The market was bustling with activity, with many energetic warriors performing and shouting, while a large number of believers gathered in front of the Zhong Kui Temple.

Grandma San avoided the incarnation of Guanyin and unconsciously came to the side door of the temple.

She caught a glimpse of him and was frightened to the point of paleness.

"This place...is definitely not as simple as it seems."

The statue of Zhong Kui stands in the main hall. His ferocious face looks like a demon, and he wears robes of different colors that sparkle with oily luster.

If Third Grandma was not mistaken, it was the remnant of the demon's soul. When the demon's soul dissipated, it would leave behind some debris, but usually only a few insignificant dust particles.

The surface of the Zhong Kui statue is stained with a thick layer of dirt.

It seems to be gold-plated.

"Are you kidding? At least... at least tens of thousands of demons died in this small temple, like moths to a flame."

Third Grandma's scalp tingled. Even if she had practiced Taoism for 8,000 years in her heyday, it was unrealistic to swallow up tens of thousands of demons quietly.

What horrified her the most was why the hidden existence in Lu Zu Temple ignored the warriors and instead used demons as food.

"Hee hee hee."

The third grandmother took several steps back and heard the clear laughter of a little girl beside her.

She turned her head and saw a little girl who had appeared out of nowhere. She exuded the power of nearly four thousand years of Taoism and pointed to the corner.

"Grandma Spider, is that man here to see you?"

The pale face was already within a hundred meters.

Third Grandma's pupils shrank slightly. The strange and mysterious town made her feel uneasy. Coupled with the incarnation of Guanyin following her like a shadow, her consciousness was on the verge of collapse.

"no no……"

She walked away from the Zhong Kui Temple, and not long after she came across another temple.

The statue of Tianpeng that came into view was glaring, and the nine-toothed rake in his hand also exuded resentment, clearly two ghosts incarnated.

"Ah~~"

Grandma San, with sweat all over her face, noticed a crow perched on the top of the eaves.

At first glance, it was just an ordinary crow, but when she came to her senses the second time, she realized that she couldn't tell the true nature of the crow at all.

"A ten thousand year old demon! It is definitely a ten thousand year old demon!"

Third Grandma stumbled through the alleys and suddenly felt that her surroundings were becoming increasingly darker and an endless shadow enveloped her.

Click click click.

The shadow opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of terrifying ivory.

Another ten thousand year old demon!!

"What the hell is this place? Didn't Zhu Yihong's memory say that she had always lived in Yanliang Town? Can anyone tell me how a thousand-year-old demon could live in peace with mortals?"

It should be impossible for a ten-thousand-year-old demon to control his magical powers and taboos at will.

Logically speaking, the Yanshan area should have become a desolate place!!!

A huge amount of shadows came towards her and Third Grandma suddenly lost consciousness. Then Nian'er hummed a song and hugged Third Grandma and disappeared on the spot.

.........

When Third Grandma woke up, she had already arrived at an exquisite and elegant courtyard.

She looked around in disbelief, and in front of her was an ordinary man, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, resting.

Then Third Grandma noticed more and more details.

The lush banyan tree in the corner seems to have roots spreading for hundreds of miles, and the hidden evil spirit is nearly ten thousand years old. It should never be underestimated.

Thump thump.

Water splashed in the pond, and two silly fish poked their heads out with a gloating look on their face.

You can hear them humming nursery rhymes imitating Shen Lian.

"I am Baboerben, and he is Benboerba. Baboer and Benboerba are two happy little monsters, loved by everyone and as beautiful as flowers..."

In terms of scale, Lu Zu Temple is indeed far larger than Pansi Cave.

Moreover, the demons in Lu Zu Temple are not bound by caves at all. They appear openly in the mortal world and even live in secular towns.

This can be seen.

Third Grandma stared at the man, an indescribable thought coming to her mind.

He... He is the abbot of Lu Zu Temple and must have the power to suppress all demons, otherwise everything would be illogical.

"You must be the immortal from Pansi Cave, right? What's your name?"

"Spider Fairy Sanniang, who are you?"

Third Grandma really couldn't figure out Shen Lian's true intentions.

She stared nervously outside the courtyard, and without waiting for Shen Lian to respond, "Master, I have no intention of offending you. If Zhu Yihong is an old acquaintance of yours, I will give up immediately..."

Before Third Grandma finished her words, Shen Lian stretched out his hand.

A light shone brightly from between Zhu Yihong's eyebrows, and a lotus platform appeared in the Niwan Palace to protect his soul.

The third grandmother could not help but cover her head and let out a shrill scream. There was only despair in her heart. It turned out that the lotus platform was another ten-thousand-year-old demon.

Shen Lian's soul moved, and the lotus platform pulled out the remaining soul of the Third Grandma. Most of her three souls and seven spirits were damaged, and she was just a candle in the wind.

When the residual soul was exposed, the courtyard gate was pushed open.

The so-called incarnation of Guanyin that appeared was extremely strange.

The incarnation of Guanyin was wearing a signature robe, but her breasts were exposed. She stood there like a piece of wood, with no visible movement.

The skin is covered with pupils of different sizes, and the facial features are somewhat similar to those of a centipede.

The incarnation of Guanyin opened his jaw slightly and squeezed out a voice as gentle as jade.

"Third sister, where are you going? Why don't you come back to the Zen temple with me?"

The voice was neither male nor female, mixed with the unique buzzing sound of insects.

Shen Lian's scalp tingled. He didn't understand why the incarnation of Guanyin would appear as the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord. The two should have no connection at all.

Guanyin has millions of incarnations. Could it be that they are all imitating the greatest demons in the world?
It seems that Brother Sha was not lying when he said that Guanyin Temple has a future in martial arts.
