I can't be a demon.

Chapter 361 Brothers, let’s eat
The Four Heavenly Kings are the guardian gods of Buddhism and the spies of Mount Lingshan who monitor the four continents. Their status is no less than that of the Buddha who has attained the Bodhisattva status.

The Dharma Protector Hall is located in the center of the Da Ci'en Temple, and it is also very popular during the shallow monastery.

Before Dahui arrived at the temple, more than a dozen monks were already walking quickly towards him.

They generally have more than five umbilical cords connected to the back of their heads, their expressions reveal a hint of greed, and they silently chant "Amitabha".

The monks entered the Dharma Protector Hall one after another to prepare for the upcoming Shen Lian.

The temptation of Tang Monk's flesh is too great. They have been trapped in the eighth reincarnation for more than a hundred years and do not want to miss any chance.

Through the window, the monk could see two figures approaching in the distance.

They stared at Shen Lian, and even though they were far away, they could sense his extremely pure blood and energy, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

That's right.

Sharing the reincarnation of Sakyamuni is indeed a shortcut to becoming a Buddha instantly.

boom.

The ground shook slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the raindrops covering the Da Ci'en Temple became heavy.

The monks all looked unhappy. The sudden heavy rain frightened them, as if it was a warning from Little Western Paradise.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. The idea has already been made in their hearts and they can no longer restrain it, and their lives are not at risk.

It's just a few pieces of flesh and blood. In ancient times, there was a story about Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed an eagle.

Dahui put his hands together and reminded, "Tianwen Buddha, ahead is the Dharma Protector Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings. I wish you all the best."

"kindness."

Shen Lian looked up at Xiao Xitian and stretched out his hands to catch the falling raindrops.

In the eyes of other monks, Xiao Xitian is beautified. After all, their body and soul are connected by the umbilical cord, and they have almost become vassals of Xiao Xitian.

The scene Shen Lian saw was the most real.

The raindrops were mixed with a hint of blood, clearly a sign that Xiao Xitian was injured.

"wrong."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and noticed that there was a faint smell of qi and blood emanating from the umbilical cord. The smell of qi and blood was very familiar, it was clearly the flesh of Tang Monk.

"Haha, the taboo of being a mother is eroding Xiao Xitian."

"I'm afraid I don't have much time left. Once Huang Mei's doomed plan comes to an end, the memories in the depths of Huangquan will also disappear."

Shen Lian's mind moved, and the dragon fish robe no longer concealed the aura of the stone egg.

The koi fish swam out from his sleeves and appeared in the area of ​​Xiao Xitian with a majestic aura, revealing a demonic aura of about a thousand years of Taoism.

Xiao Xitian didn't react at all, which proved that Huang Mei really had no time to take care of her.

Unless he leaves Da Ci'en Temple, he is nothing compared to his mother.

Dahui stopped.

"Tianwen Buddhist, I didn't expect you to carry a monster with you. You know that Daci'en Temple is an important Buddhist place and cannot be desecrated."

Shen Lian pointed to Xiao Xitian and said, "Xiao Xitian's Buddha light didn't hurt the monsters."

"you……"

"It's just a fish demon that I rescued occasionally. Don't worry, I usually feed it with my own blood and qi, so it won't endanger the Da Ci'en Temple."

Dahui snorted coldly, carefully examined the stone egg for a long time, and determined that it was only a thousand years of cultivation.

"Buddha is truly compassionate..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of birds chirping echoed, and in the blink of an eye a strange crow appeared on Shen Lian's shoulder.

"The bird demon I rescued occasionally was as shallow as the fish demon."

"Ah~ stupid bald ass~"

The starling looked at Dahui's bald head with disdain, and then began to show off its feathers, revealing a look of wisdom.

A trace of fear flashed in Dahui's eyes. The two demons were not worth mentioning, but Shen Lian was a person who was difficult to guess.

He contacted the monks who had entered the Dharma Protector Hall in advance through telepathy and learned that the arrangements inside the hall had been basically completed, so he did not care about the so-called demons.

"If you kill one person, you will inherit the deceased's Bodhi branches. Even if you are really Sakyamuni, you cannot inherit more than twenty Bodhi branches."

Dahui quickened his pace and pushed open the door of the Dharma Protector Hall diligently.

The Dharma Protector Hall consists of two parts, the inner and outer parts. There are six Arhat Buddha statues in the outer hall, which look lifelike and their eyeballs keep moving.

There is an illusion of coming back to life at any time.

The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings are in the inner hall, and you need to pass through the aisle guarded by the Arhat statues.

boom.

As the door closed, Dahui couldn't stop smiling.

"Tianwen Buddha, every temple is like this. If you want to visualize the Four Heavenly Kings, you must first understand the Buddhist teachings of one of the Six Arhats."

"Ah~ stinking stinking! Fake monks kneeling down to worship corpses~~"

The mynah bird kept chattering, and Dahui's expression became a little ugly.

Shen Lian knew that what the myna said was correct. Some of the flesh and blood of the arhats were sealed inside the Buddha statue, providing a constant supply of nutrients for Xiao Xitian.

Dahui walked towards the aisle and glanced at the starling.

"Tianwen Buddhist, please be patient in comprehending the Dharma. It takes an ordinary monk at least three years to make progress, and seven years to fully comprehend. With your comprehension, it should only take half a year."

"I and my fifteen fellow apprentices have already achieved enlightenment and are waiting for you in the inner hall."

Dahui disappeared into the darkness, and the Dharma Protector Hall returned to peace.

Shen Lian smiled but said nothing, but the starling kept cursing with foul language.

A mynah bird landed on the head of an arhat, and the statue began to tremble. However, the stupid bird's eyes flashed red, and the statue dared not move at all.

"Ah Lian, I'm born to be incompatible with bald donkeys. I feel uncomfortable staying here~~"

"Eighth Master."

Shen Lian took a few gulps of Dawu wine, then threw out a fruit core, and the bone blade at his waist was slightly unsheathed. For a moment, the demonic shadows were everywhere.

Seeing this, the starling stopped complaining and started cackle excitedly.

"Ah Lian, as soon as you pinch my butt, I, the Eighth Master, know what you are thinking!!"

"Ah~~"

"Do something big, make a big fuss~"

The fruit core grew rapidly, turned into rhizomes and began to spread outward. The banyan tree far away in Yanliang Town actively provided nutrients to the fruit core.

Bone Blade grinned and exchanged glances with Myna.

Shen Lian reminded: "Let me make it clear first, we have enough time, but we can't drag it out. We should each decide on the food we are interested in first, and we must cooperate with each other tacitly."

"Once we take action, all eight palaces must be cleared out immediately."

The starling's beak was wide open, and endless black air almost gushed out. The Arhat Buddha statue had closed its eyes and dared not look directly at the four plague gods.

"Ah~ Don't you know what we are eating, Lian?"

"Eighth Master, I eat ghosts, Bone Master eats monsters, Tree Master sweeps away all the evil spirits in the temple, and Lotus Master accepts all souls."

"And the little guy, if you save a bite, it will be full and satisfied~~"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at the umbilical cord that had appeared on his neck. "You should first investigate the specific conditions of the eight palaces. You can only start feasting after I finish my retreat."

"Ah~~"

The starlings were so shrill that the windows of the Guardian Hall could not stop them.

Shen Lian stroked the stone egg gently and said to Gu Ren softly, "Xiao Gu, Da Ci'en Temple should have a lot of resources. You should feed the stone first."

The bone blade also split into shadows and scattered, bringing in all kinds of elixirs from everywhere.

Not to mention, although Da Ci'en Temple appears to be an authentic Buddhist temple, the elixirs taken by the monks are extremely suitable for providing nutrients for the stone eggs.

But after a moment, prompts continued to appear on the career panel.

[Aquatic Koi appears and grows, Tiangang Fairy experience +0.56%]

[Aquatic koi appears and grows, Tiangang Fairy experience +0.74%] Shen Lian did not delay, and while the effect of the medicine was still there, he visualized six Arhat Buddha statues.

Dahui could never have imagined that Arhat Vajra, who seemed to be able to devour people's hearts on a normal day, was now trembling in front of Shen Lian.

In just a moment, the first Arhat Golden Body Technique was almost completed.

[Do you want to consume 4 points to master the Green Snake Arhat Golden Body]

Shen Lian immediately invested points, and as the power in his dantian surged, a new golden body was born. This technique was obviously better than Jia Lan's golden body technique.

The Green Snake Arhat's golden body will no longer advance after reaching perfection.

At the same time, banyan tree roots are growing on the ground.

When the roots pushed open the floor tiles, thick blood oozed out, and then a new Arhat Buddha statue was brought to the Dharma Protector Hall by the roots.

Shen Lian was a little surprised. After communicating with the banyan tree, he learned that the Arhat Buddha statues in the eight palaces were all movable, so he decided to bring them all with him.

"That's fine. I don't intend to leave any room for maneuver anyway."

Shen Lian was pleased to see this. Once he had created all the Arhat Golden Body techniques, it would become much easier to visualize the Bodhisattva and Buddha statues.

"Tell the starling to be low-key and not attract the yellow-browed one."

He could sense that the demonic aura in Da Ci'en Temple was intensifying.

Myna has found the correct way to gain experience, and is using the ghost realm to quietly transform all monks into ghosts.

Shen Lian shook his head and took the time to continue his visualization.

There are a total of thirty-eight Arhat Buddha statues, and even with the Dawu wine, it would still be extremely time-consuming.

.........

The Dharma Guardian Hall.

The inner hall has used more than a dozen Buddhist magic weapons to set up a magic array. There is no clue on the surface, but the Buddha's light filled in it is faintly mixed with gray and black.

Dahui checked the formation again and again to make sure there were no omissions.

The monk named Ren De, who was second only to Da Hui in age, could not help but ask, "Brother, could the two demons beside the Buddha be a variable?"

"will not."

Dahui explained: "The core of the Devil Subduing Prajna Array is the Four Heavenly Kings. Even if they practiced for a thousand years, they would not be able to stir up any waves."

Ren De breathed rapidly, "It is impossible for a demon to live for ten thousand years. The Buddha said that Xiao Xitian will be the new Western Sacred Mountain in the future."

"That's right, the Western Spiritual Mountain!"

"If the sixteen of us eat the flesh and blood of Sakyamuni, we will naturally become Buddhas on the spot."

Dahui and the other monks all looked anxious.

He could sense the physical Qi and blood across the aisle. One thing was certain: the Qi and blood of a Buddha were not something that ordinary people could possess.

"I have heard the Buddha's heartbeat. He was born with a special gift. He has three hearts. Give me two of them."

Ren De followed Da Hui and said, "I will cut off two-thirds of the remaining organs. The limbs are yours, but you cannot touch the head."

Although the monks had objections, they did not dare to question.

Dahui told them what to say when facing Huang Mei.

Suddenly, Shen Lian, who was right next door, disappeared, and then there was a rustling sound coming from deep underground.

The sudden movement made them freeze.

"It's okay. With the Four Heavenly Kings here, there's no way he'll leave the Dharma Protector Hall. This is probably just a strange phenomenon that Xiao Xitian occasionally revealed."

The monks had just breathed a sigh of relief when Ren De murmured in horror.

"No...something's wrong!"

Ren De was shocked. "Brother, look at the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings. Their eyes are bleeding. Something is wrong!"

Dahui looked carefully and saw that tears of blood were dripping down the Buddha statue's chin.

The Buddha's light flickers.

For some reason, he felt that the expressions of the Four Heavenly Kings became extremely strange, as if they were afraid, afraid of unknown things.

The corridor outside the door was pitch black, and the Buddha's light from the Four Heavenly Kings could not penetrate it.

"Brother, do you know the origin of Tianwen Buddha? As the Sakyamuni appointed by our Buddha, how can his identity be simple?"

"Shut up!"

Dahui said coldly: "What kind of magical power can intimidate the Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Besides, he is a Buddhist, not a demon or ghost. I will go and take a look. How can Xiao Xitian allow demons and monsters to cause trouble?"

Dahui stood up and walked towards the outer hall. After stepping into the darkness, a biting cold rushed to his head and a strange whisper sounded in his ears.

It was too late for him to retreat back to the inner hall, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Right in the corner of the aisle.

There was a bloody mouth on the wall, with sharp teeth rubbing against each other and a tongue licking the gums, which was the source of the noise.

Not far away, a koi fish was swimming, chewing with its mouthparts.

Dahui activated the Buddhist Dharma, and the umbilical cord connected to the back of his brain glowed brighter. It wouldn't be long before he would receive a steady stream of Buddha's light.

Such an alternative symbiotic relationship is completely dominated by Xiao Xitian.

"what!"

The infusion of Buddha's light came to an abrupt halt.

Dahui covered his head and noticed that the umbilical cord was entangled by plant roots, causing him to temporarily lose contact with Xiao Xitian.

A crow with red eyes rested on the top of the roots.

"How many demons are there?!"

Dahui realized belatedly that the demon following Shen Lian had not only practiced Taoism for a thousand years, but had existed for at least four thousand years.

What about the Buddha’s disciples?

Could it be that it is also a demon?
Dahui was so frightened that his face turned pale and he turned and ran away.

As a result, he was still circling around in the same place, with the bloody mouth in the corner following him like a shadow, and a hint of contempt showing at the corner of his mouth.

"Do not kill me!"

Dahui almost collapsed and kept kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

call.

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the Guardian Hall, and sweet energy and blood rushed towards us.

The four demons seemed to realize something and simultaneously gave up teasing Dahui and instantly rushed into the outer hall where Shen Lian was in seclusion.

Dahui stumbled and crawled, and the Buddha's light was once again infused into his body.

The Buddha's light shines brightly.

He wore a purple-gold cassock, with a sixth-grade lotus pedestal under his feet. His cultivation broke through the limitations of the mundane world, and he reached the level of a human immortal in just a few breaths.

Because it was a borrowed practice, the Buddha's light overwhelmed Dahui's mind.

"Anyone can kill demons! If a Buddhist dares to raise a demon, he shall be punished by death!!"

Dahui felt that he was already a true Buddha and had never received such abundant Buddha light. Apparently, Xiao Xitian also sensed the threat posed by the four demons.

He rushed into the outer hall on his own initiative, as if he had lost his mind.

The next scene that came into view was like a bucket of ice water poured over your head.

The thirty-eight Arhat Buddha statues were already riddled with holes, and the four demons were gnawing on the fragments, their Taoist powers revealed by their bodies increasing.

The place where Shen Lian was was shrouded in mist.

"call."

Dahui looked up and saw a four-meter-long arm wrapped in purple muscles breaking through the mist in front of him. Every inch of flesh and blood contained incredible power.

"Brothers, finish your appetizers quickly."

“It’s time to eat!!”
