I can't be a demon.

Chapter 59: Not having Tang Seng's fate, but having Tang Seng's disease

"The spine came alive?!!"

The spine was twisting and the joints were growing stronger, as if they were about to break out of the body.

Shen Lian's normal state was forcibly raised to 1.85 meters, his bones collided, and his muscles appeared in a meticulously sculpted streamlined shape.

He scanned the career panel, and the handwriting of the two horizontal exercises gradually merged into one.

Massive amounts of information surged in his mind, and the synthesized horizontal martial arts were extremely complex, involving almost every aspect. If it were someone else, it would be basically difficult to even get started.

Shen Lian never expected that the synthesis of horizontal training would be so drastic.

He only felt that his spine was on the verge of losing control, madly absorbing nutrients from his body, while his own blood was flowing back into his spine.

In just a few moments, 40% of Shen Lian's blood had been consumed by his spine.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

When Ding saw that Shen Lian was acting strangely, he hurried forward to check. However, when he was about ten meters away, his legs instinctively stopped where they were.

fear.

That’s right, when Ding felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, it seemed that... he would die if he took another step forward. The familiar figure not far away was no longer Shen Lian, but a disguised demon.

"I'm fine. You can talk to the old man. My martial arts skills have reached a bottleneck. I will be in seclusion in the backyard for the next few days."

Shen Lian clapped his palms, and an invisible hurricane forced Dang Ding to retreat several meters.

"Okay... okay."

When Ding Li was far away, the fear in his heart was greatly reduced. He secretly sighed that the young master was truly talented and had made great achievements after learning martial arts for half a year.

He really couldn't understand Shen Lian.

On the one hand, he does nothing all day long and seems to have no interest in anything; on the other hand, he has a special liking for the self-mutilating martial arts.

Shen Lian resisted the urge to transform into a giant and closed his eyes to sense the subtle changes in his spine.

His expression showed a hint of surprise.

The spinal cord is mainly responsible for hematopoiesis, and a warrior's qi and blood are his foundation. Therefore, only after the Immortal Bronze Body is reborn will its foundation be pushed to a whole new level.

If you interrupt it forcibly, it is equivalent to losing an opportunity.

Shen Lian took out a few pills and swallowed them whole. By replenishing the nutrients, he kept his qi and blood flowing continuously.

When the spine is saturated, drops of sticky blood will flow out.

The quality of qi and blood that the new blood can accommodate is far beyond the ordinary, which means that he is far ahead in the direction of "Tang Monk's flesh".

Shen Lian did not waste the elixir. While he was undergoing a transformation, he was also tempering his eye meridians, while the other two forces were also circulating throughout the body.

"Not counting the minor branches, there are six eye meridians in total."

"Taking advantage of the opportunity of horizontal training breakthrough, I can at least complete two of them."

Shen Lian controlled the Yin and Yang energy to impact the meridians. He felt the blocked meridians become unblocked little by little, and the vision of his eyes became clearer and clearer.

"After the Jinwu Guards entered the fifth realm of innateness, they transformed into demonic physiques. They tempered the meridians of the five senses, which was actually to revive the perception of the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue and body, making themselves more like humans."

"The innate five realms of a warrior are completely different. They enable the five senses to reach their peak."

Shen Lian opened his mouth, revealing some of the characteristics of his extreme horizontal training, and his teeth became sharp and terrifying, "Hehe, no matter how you look at it, we warriors are all on the right path!"

There are bone spurs protruding between the vertebrae, which extend and retract with breathing.

If other people witnessed this, how could they believe that the demon in front of them was a warrior who claimed to be righteous? To be honest, the Jinwu Guards do look more like humans.

Shen Lian was fully focused on his cultivation.

woohoo hoo...

The faint sounds coming from the courtyard were like a mountain god taking a nap.

Shen Hansheng and others occasionally looked at Shen Lian from afar through the window. The noises made by the latter when practicing martial arts were truly astounding. However, with their knowledge, they were completely unaware of Shen Lian's attainments in martial arts.

Shen Lian's retreat lasted longer than expected. Before he knew it, two days had passed.

The spring rains continued during this period, and people could not help but feel worried. After all, it rarely rains for more than two days in Yanliang Town throughout the year.

When there are unusual celestial phenomena, people may easily associate them with the misfortunes caused by demons or evil spirits.

Moreover, the government's attitude was a bit ambiguous. Not only was a curfew imposed, but people were not allowed to move around among the four urban areas.

There were rumors everywhere for a while.

Shen Hansheng was also deeply affected. Although he did not dare to disturb his child who was in seclusion, he asked two guards to guard the courtyard at all times at night.

The spring rain came on the fifth day and still did not stop.

Some people saw six Jinwu Guards arriving at Yanliang Town early in the morning. It was obvious that the situation was not as simple as it seemed and had alarmed the imperial court.

Without waiting for them to inquire about the reason, some yamen runners began to visit every household.

Shen Hansheng quickly opened the door and saw Captain Hong. He couldn't help but ask, "Captain Hong, what is the situation in Yanliang Town now?"

Captain Hong looked a little tired and signaled the bailiffs following him to patrol the streets on their own.

"Manager Shen, I can't tell you the details. You have also... experienced many ups and downs, so you must know that disasters are inevitable in this world."

"Yeah."

Shen Hansheng gave a wry smile and quickly made tea for Captain Hong.

"No need for tea, I have something to do next."

Captain Hong looked around the store and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, compared to the previous corpse stripping case, this is just a small matter."

"Huh, that's good."

"According to the Jinwu Guards, if there is a well in the courtyard, it must be sealed as soon as possible, and the accumulated water must be drained and disposed of in a timely manner."

Captain Hong explained in detail, and Shen Hansheng remembered it all.

The two did not mention demons, but they both knew that the thing that could cause such a large commotion by the Jinwu Guards must be related to demons.

"Manager Shen, if you hear the sound of gongs in the middle of the night, it means that the spring rains have already brought floods. You can go to the market in the center of Xicheng District, where there is a disaster prevention office set up by the Jinwu Guards."

Captain Hong stopped there.

Shen Hansheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face showing fear.

Although the spring rain is continuous, the amount of rainfall is very limited and there is no chance of causing floods. The sound of gongs probably represents the wreaking of havoc by demons.

After saying this, Captain Hong left in a hurry.

Shen Hansheng watched Captain Hong leave, then told his staff to clean up the shop.

Since it was too late for the government to just issue notices, they had to send bailiffs to warn people at home, which showed that the fish disaster could not be delayed.

"Water..."

Shen Hansheng glanced towards the backyard. At least the pawnshop didn't have the problem of water accumulation.

As Shen Lian retreated, his exposed blood and qi became hotter and hotter. Water? The rain evaporated as soon as it landed within half a meter.

Shen Hansheng has come into contact with many martial artists, including Shen Lian’s mentor Bai Haibo.

I always feel like... is it that... only Shen Lian can be so exaggerated, or are the other warriors more restrained?

Shen Hansheng remained noncommittal, thinking that perhaps his son was a rare martial arts genius.

The seventh day of the spring rain.

The doors and windows of Yanliang Town were closed, and few people went out on the streets even during the day.

The barking of dogs in the deep alleys continued, and the sounds became increasingly strange, like a baby crying, and then the dogs were beaten to death by the yamen runners who rushed over.
