I can't be a demon.

Chapter 54: Gao Laozhuang is a blessed place

.........

"Uh, is there a reason why experience points increase automatically?"

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly.

Although he hadn't eaten anything, he felt inexplicably full in his stomach, and there was a prompt on the occupation panel every two or three breaths.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Shen Lian immediately chose to restrain his own Qi and blood, causing his heart rate to drop sharply and his huge body to return to normal.

He even looked a little thin due to muscle atrophy.

Shen Lian changed into suitable clothes, and the mynah bird could only stand on his shoulder. He was very disgusted with the restlessness of his mount Ah Lian.

"Ah~ Walk carefully and don't get startled~"

"Silly bird."

Shen Lian was too lazy to pay attention to the starling and quickly used Yin-Yang power to seal his mouth and nose. As a result, the experience of the Sharp-Tooth Warrior continued to accumulate.

Obviously, there is something different in the deep ghost market.

Shen Lian arrived at the tunnel entrance, and the completely different second floor of the Ghost Market came into view.

The streets are brightly lit.

The ghost market has become similar to a Spring Festival market, with lanterns hanging everywhere, the aroma of all kinds of delicious food, and the constant calls of vendors.

All the ransom ghosts had the same expression, with stiff and exaggerated smiles, and greasy and shiny skin, as if they were cast from the same mold.

Shen Lian wiped his right eye with the eye-clearing talisman water and couldn't help but gasp.

The streets were in a dilapidated state, and the hanging lanterns turned out to be pig heads with blood dripping from their necks, attracting a large number of flies buzzing around.

As for the ghost of ransom.

Without exception, these ghosts became abnormally bloated, somewhat similar to guinea pigs, and the resentment in their bodies was extremely turbid.

"Pig..."

Shen Lian was facing a formidable enemy. The third floor of the ghost market was connected to four towns. It was possible that during the two months when the ghost market in Yanliang Town was closed, some powerful demons from other towns had sneaked in.

"Hiss, what kind of demon is this?"

"Even if you are on the third floor of the Ghost Market, the leaked resentment can still affect the second floor."

Shen Lian muttered to himself: "Gaojia Town, pig."

Once you connect the two, a familiar place name comes to mind.

"Gao Village? The Gao Village where Zhu Bajie got married?!!"

"The big demon territory that Old Man Shen accidentally entered, couldn't it also be Gao Village?"

Shen Lian licked his dry lips, feeling the urge to turn around and run away. The starling, on the other hand, shook its head excitedly and quacked.

"The big demon on the third floor of Ghost Market should not be Zhu Bajie."

Shen Lian calmed down.

"The aura of a thousand-year-old demon will indeed affect the environment, but since the giant stomach food supplement can smoothly digest the resentment, it means that the third-level demon will definitely not be more than two thousand years old."

Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he also realized the horror of the thousand-year-old demon.

You know, Giant Stomach Food's digestive ability is now a bottomless pit, and ordinary food can't make him feel full at all.

I was within the range of the thousand-year-old demon's resentment, and I almost got full from a distance.

Ordinary warriors would probably have their intestines ripped open in a moment upon arriving at the second floor of the Ghost Market.

Even the Jinwu Guards who possessed demonic physiques could not avoid damage to their internal organs, after all, the pork and meat that appeared in their stomachs carried resentment.

"Hiccup~~"

Shen Lian let out a long burp.

[Sharp-toothed Warrior reaches 60.04%, Martial Arts Points +2]

"Sooner or later I'll have to go to Gao Laozhuang to take a look. If I can get experience by hanging up, I'll definitely hang out there for a dozen years."

"Gao Laozhuang is a blessed place!"

Shen Lian looked regretful.

With his current cultivation level, staying in the ghost market for too long would easily lead to trouble. Otherwise, he would have to gather enough experience points to advance to the Sharp-toothed Warrior.

The mynah bird was looking at the second floor of the ghost market eagerly. To be more precise, it was obviously interested in the big demon on the third floor.

"Master Ba, please don't mess around. We are all honest businessmen. Once we enter the ghost market, we must abide by the rules and not harm any plants or trees."

"Ah~"

Shen Lian secretly regretted bringing the stupid bird with him. It was even harder to manage than a husky.

"There may be strangers on the second floor of the Ghost Market. To prevent being exposed, you should stay in the tunnel, Brother Myna. And help me keep an eye on the entrances and exits."

Shen Lian reluctantly took out a fish fruit.

"Ah~Deal~"

The starling stopped making noise and flew to the corner with the fish in its mouth.

After Shen Lian gave repeated instructions, he continued to maintain his Qi and blood at a level that was neither present nor absent, and then plunged into the bustling second floor of the Ghost Market.

Not long after he left, the starling became lonely.

Blood-red eyes flickered in the tunnel.

The starling laughed strangely, stuffed the elixir fruit into the gap between the bricks, and spewed out a constant stream of black gas to act on the fish fruit.

Click click click.

The fish fruit slowly shrank and cracks appeared on the surface.

A tender bud that looked like a bone grew out, and in just a few breaths it turned into a sapling. Then, countless vines spread between the ground and the wall.

The bricks turned into bones, forming a bone door leading to the third floor of the Ghost Market.

"Ah~ In heaven and on earth, I am the only one who is supreme~"

Rolling black air poured into the bone gate.

Faintly, one could see a demon with a tiger head and nine ears flash by.

The bone saplings grew quickly until they completely enveloped the tunnel. The banyan tree was unable to intervene despite its power, but it could still cover up a few areas.

The eldest brother causes trouble, the second brother protects the master, and the third brother assists.

.........

Shen Lian looked back belatedly and saw that the tunnel was still deep and boundless. He then turned his attention to the stalls on both sides of the street.

Because of the dullness of his Qi and blood, the wealth-redeeming ghost did not pay too much attention to himself.

"Mynah bird is very sensible. Next time there are fish fruits, give it a few more."

Shen Lian naturally enjoyed his leisure time.

In fact, he had originally planned to maintain his indestructible bronze body throughout the whole process, use his qi and blood to deal with ghosts, and kill a few more blind ghosts to liven up the fun.

Now keep a low profile.

Not long after, Shen Lian found three martial arts secrets that met his expectations.

Not to mention, the quality of the martial arts secrets on the second floor of the Ghost Market is indeed much higher. Not only are they not damaged, most of them are mid-level martial arts.

It is hard to imagine, since the second floor already sells upper-middle-level martial arts, what kind of precious secret manuals can be found if one goes deeper into the ghost market.

Shen Lian was not in a hurry to buy, for fear that the transaction would cause the ghosts to panic. He simply memorized the stall where the martial arts secrets were located, and prepared to immediately identify the secrets and run away after getting them.

He discovered that the situation of big demons invading the ghost market was still getting worse.

The ransom ghost is getting closer and closer to the guinea pig.

Some of the less powerful ghosts have become unconscious, and are making food-squeezing sounds from their mouths.

"Could it be that the Jinwu Guards intentionally introduced the third level of the Ghost Market to drive away the wolves and devour the tigers, and use the existence behind the Ghost Market to deal with the big demon?"

Shen Lian estimated that his guess was almost correct.

As a collapsed world of Journey to the West, who knows if the plot would have developed as it should if Zhu Bajie was still trapped in Gao Village.

Shen Lian couldn't imagine how deep the water in Gao Village was.

He returned to the stall and bought three secret books. Perhaps the ransom ghost was deeply influenced by the big demon, so he only paid a few taels of silver.

The secret book is not entangled with resentment.
