I can't be a demon.

Chapter 34 Special Occupation [Corpse Taoist]

After Shen Lian gained a deeper understanding of the Corpse Transformation Sutra, he couldn't help but feel fearful.

The demon's internal strength is a completely strange system different from that of warriors. It can actually allow cultivators to borrow the magical powers of the unparalleled demons.

When learning the Corpse Transmutation Sutra, one needs to find a place with extremely strong resentment, and then lock oneself in a black wooden coffin for seven full days.

During this period, he took the Jinwu Guard's unique medicine [Corpse-Transforming Pill], which allowed his body and soul to comprehend his inner strength while on the verge of death, which seemed extremely mysterious.

It seems easy, but 40% to 50% of the reserve Jinwu Guards lie in coffins forever.

Once they enter the door, their physique will be transformed into a half-human, half-corpse [Corpse True Body].

[Corpse Haunting's True Body] not only greatly increases the strength of the physical body, but also extends the lifespan to three hundred years, and can also practice the secret techniques of the corpse path.

The most important thing is that the special physique similar to the corpse's true body directly skipped the four stages of foundation building.

That’s right, the initial entry into internal energy is equivalent to a warrior who has practiced body training for twenty to thirty years. No wonder the Jinwu Guards look down on those martial artists who work hard to train their bodies.

Shen Lian took a breath of cold air.

However, everything has a price. As the name of the demon's internal strength suggests, when the Jinwu Guards enter the realm of magic, they are actually no longer human.

The so-called true identity of the corpse is just flattering itself.

How could a normal person's blood turn into pus as soon as it leaves the body? Moreover, the wound cannot recover on its own and relies on taking strong medicine to promote healing.

The special physiques derived from the internal strength of the other demons are not the same, but they are most likely related to a peerless demon that has experienced eighty-one difficulties.

"What kind of a hell is this world? They force people to become monsters. The Tang Dynasty, which should have been a prosperous era of Taoism and Buddhism, is now full of monsters and demons."

Shen Lian no longer understands this world at all.

Perhaps only the imperial court knew the truth of history. During the more than one thousand years of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of changes took place in the world of Journey to the West?
"Don't touch the demon's internal energy for now. Anyway, I have already figured out the subsequent realms."

Warriors who have completed the four stages of foundation building will step into the [Five Innate Stages], which are divided into the eye root stage, ear root stage, tongue root stage, nose root stage, and sense root stage.

Represents hearing, vision, taste, smell and touch.

The Corpse Transformation Sutra has detailed steps, which is to use the strength and internal force to temper the five sense meridians. Shen Lian did not notice any hidden tricks in it.

According to common sense, a warrior has no chance of reaching the five innate realms.

After all, one has to be at least thirty or forty years old to complete the foundation-building process. One's own Qi and blood will inevitably decline, and if one fails to temper the five sense meridians, one may die several years early.

Over time, the innate realm became a level that could only be reached with internal strength.

As for the realms above the five innate realms, the fake eye did not mention them. It may be that the original owner of the fake eye did not have a high status in the Jinwu Guard.

"But then again..."

Shen Lian was a little unwilling, frowning and muttering: "If I go through the process of the Corpse Transformation Sutra, can I become a Corpse Taoist without practicing the Corpse Transformation Sutra?"

He lay in bed, thinking about his third career.

Before I knew it I had spent the whole night sleepless.

Shen Lian didn't want to miss out on this special profession, even though he lacked the Corpse-Transforming Pill. But what if the employment requirements on the profession panel were not strict?

"But where is the resentment?"

"The Corpse Transformation Sutra records that there are either mass graves with thousands of corpses piled up, or a large number of ghosts died in the same place in a short period of time."

Shen Lian walked out of the pawn shop, planning to buy a few bottles of cow's tears.

It is said that if you smear cow's tears on your eyelids, you can see resentment with your naked eyes, but if you want to see ghosts clearly, you have to add a talisman to improve your eyesight.

Shen Lian had no hope. He thought it was impossible for resentment to gather in Yanliang Town, otherwise tens of thousands of people in the city would have died suddenly.

"It's worthwhile to buy some cow's tears at the market, so I don't have to go back and forth to appraise antiques and paintings. Well, career advancement is just around the corner."

Shen Lian bought some snacks along the way and never stopped eating.

"Ah~"

The starling occasionally steals a few bites from my shoulder.

Even when walking, Shen Lian still maintained his natural body training, or to be more precise, it was a habitual practice of giving up.

Let your instincts run your energy, it's okay if the efficiency is a little low.

It was exactly twelve o'clock. Shen Lian stayed in the teahouse for a long time and learned that the government office had been in turmoil for two days after the New Year, and the bodies of prisoners had been transported out of the prison.

The waiter thought that the prefect was passing through Yanliang Town and the county magistrate was filling in some old cases.

Tea drinkers have their own opinions.

Shen Lian was not sure whether it was true or not, but now whenever there was a rumor involving demons, he would immediately treat it as a disaster.

Strolling around for half a day.

Shen Lian came to the slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Xicheng District.

In order to prevent evil spirits, the government concentrated the slaughter of livestock in one place in Yanliang Town.

"You can tell that something terrible has happened in the slaughterhouse."

Not only were yellow paper and red lines seen everywhere, but there were also three extremely ferocious black dogs tied behind the door, and most of them were fed raw meat.

The butcher in the house heard someone approaching and walked out of the shop with his knife.

"Is something wrong?"

Shen Lian chased away the mynah bird that was hesitant to speak, otherwise the mynah bird would definitely say something offensive.

"What's your name, old man?"

The butcher was in his early forties, and his expressionless face seemed to indicate that he was seeing someone off.

"Father, do you have any cow's tears collected recently?"

"No."

"No, I'll buy it with silver."

Shen Lian hurriedly stopped the butcher, and paused when his right hand touched the latter. He didn't expect that there were powerful warriors in the slaughterhouse.

The butcher couldn't help but look at Shen Lian with admiration.

"Are you from the Black Tiger Society?"

Shen Lian shook his head and added: "I am Shen Lian, a junior, who learns martial arts from Bai Haibo of Tide Martial Arts School."

"Bai Haibo? I've met him a few times. If you tell him my name, Sun Dawei, he will probably have some impression of me."

Sun Dawei continued, "Unfortunately, the cow's tears have to be handed over to the government, and their usage is increasing day by day. I wouldn't have made things difficult for you if you had come a few days earlier."

Shen Lian cursed inwardly, could it be that there is another demon haunting Yanliang Town?

Sun Dawei fumbled in his arms for a while and took out a porcelain bottle. "Take the remaining half bottle. If you need it again, I'll come back in half a month."

Shen Lian thanked Sun Dawei and then used his keen eye to see the subtle details.

【Eye-brightening Talisman Water】

[Made by Jinwu Guards, dripping it into the eyes can help one see ghosts with a cultivation level below 500 years old. Taking it can dispel the resentment in the body.]

Shen Lian was about to ask when Sun Dawei turned around and went back into the shop.

"It's not easy to do business in a slaughterhouse full of stench and to be able to casually take out talisman water."

Shen Lian made sure that the eye-brightening water was safe, and after he was far away from the sparsely populated suburbs, he dropped the water into his right eye and then looked around.

There is no obvious resentment left...

and many more.

Shen Lian looked towards the location of the yamen. In Mingmu Fu Shui's vision, there was a terrifying resentment covering the yamen, and the clouds were stained gray and black.

"Are the Jinwu Guards using the prison to imprison ghosts?"

The center of resentment is the prison.

Shen Lian only stared for a few moments before the eye-brightening talisman water was completely consumed. At the same time, he discovered that the resentment in the yamen was still accumulating.

"I'm just saying this, only a psychopath would go to the government office and lie down on the board!!!"
