I can't be a demon.

Chapter 65 Myna takes action and sends the whole family away
Inside the government residence.

The tiger's head was hanging in the air, and Zuo Yan's face was extremely gloomy.

Zhu Yihong, who had just recovered from a serious injury, stood respectfully by the side.

Zuo Yan naturally saw the actions of the Black Coffin Man in the city, but he was more concerned about the Nine-Eared Demon hiding in the dark.

Ever since the fish disaster broke out, the aura of the Nine-eared Demon has been revealed from time to time.

Zuo Yan was sure that the Nine-eared demon had been practicing for at least two thousand years, while the other two demons had not shown any signs of showing up.

While he was thinking, the trace of the man in the black coffin had disappeared.

"Let's not discuss the Nine-Eared Demon for now."

Zuo Yan said calmly: "The Black Coffin Man should find out the truth as soon as possible."

At this time, the fish disaster case has gradually calmed down, and the Jinwu Guards are already in the final stages of their work. They should be able to deal with the remaining fish monsters before daybreak.

Zhu Yihong asked with lingering fear: "Master Zuo, is the man in the black coffin a Taoist priest?"

"You've had close contact with the Black Coffin Man. Do you think he is?"

“No… it’s hard to say. I don’t know much about alchemists, but the man in the black coffin is definitely not a warrior. How can a warrior kill a demon?”

The scene of Shen Lian fighting against dozens of ghosts flashed through Zhu Yihong’s mind.

The act of swallowing up resentment is simply not something that an ordinary warrior can do, not to mention that the giant incarnated by the Black Coffin Man is simply subversive.

"really."

Zuo Yan smiled and said, "Although my real body is not in Yanliang Town, the Black Coffin Man is most likely an alchemist in the wild. You have to know that each of those alchemists is... mysterious and unpredictable."

In the Jinwu Guard, alchemists are not something that ordinary soldiers can come into contact with. It is said that most of the talismans and magical instruments issued by the court are made by alchemists.

"Zhu Yihong, after the fish disaster is over, you will select two people from the ten surviving households to stay in Yanliang Town. By then, Wang Xin will have almost returned, so you should pay more attention."

Zhu Yihong was shocked and asked, "Master Zuo, is there another disaster in the city?"

"There has been some progress at Gao Village."

After a few pauses of hesitation, Zuo Yanyan explained in detail: "The Jinwu Guards intend to seize a shop on Yongcui Street in Gao Laozhuang as a foothold. Currently, the sixth shop is tentatively selected as the [Tailor Shop].

"If something strange happened in Yanliang Town related to tailors, it is very likely that we will be affected."

Zhu Yihong took a breath of cold air.

Gao Laozhuang is more than a hundred miles away from Yanliang Town, but the imperial court actually had to make arrangements in advance, which shows how dangerous the Pig Demon Case is.

"and many more."

Zuo Yan laughed strangely for no reason, "It seems you don't need to pay too much attention to the Black Coffin Man."

Zhu Yihong was a little puzzled, but saw a pale white beetle flying in from the window, emitting a faint corpse-like internal force.

"This is……"

"The corpse worm that Wen Miao transformed into is left with only a remnant of soul and body surviving."

Zuo Yan felt somewhat gloating, not knowing that a starling had also landed in the courtyard, and seemed to have intentionally followed the beetle to the yamen, and was now eating peanuts and looking at it with interest.

"Was Wen Miao killed by the Black Coffin Man?"

"Well, even if we spend resources to rebuild our body and soul, Wen Miao will find it difficult to break through to the [Sixth Level of Yuan Dan] in the future. His foundation is completely destroyed."

Zuo Yan smiled and said, "Wen Miao's master is Captain Peng Qishang. That old man had two disciples who died in Yanliang Town one after another."

"I didn't expect that Hu Baochang is also a disciple of Captain Peng."

Zhu Yihong had heard of Peng Qishang, who was extremely vicious and cruel. He liked to make corpses, and his disciples all had strange personalities.

Zuo Yan grinned and said, "Old Bone will definitely be interested in the Black Coffin Man. Well, he may have already noticed that Wen Miao is dead."

"Old Bone is temporarily in seclusion at the government office in Gaojia Town. It will take a few days for him to get here..."

The starling tilted its head and then showed a look of wisdom in its eyes.

It turned its head and looked at the pawnshop. The banyan tree's cultivation had just reached a thousand years, and the third brother's magical powers as a demon had increased accordingly.

A vine spread over the eaves of the mansion.

The starling stared at the vines, as if communicating with the banyan tree.

I don't know what the two agreed on, but the banyan tree's branches and leaves began to wither, and most of its roots gathered together.

No one noticed that all the roots of the banyan tree grew rapidly, extending wildly underground, pointing directly towards... Gaojia Town.

The rhizome is like a long snake, piercing through the rocks wherever it passes.

.........

Gaojia Town, inside the government office.

Peng Qishang narrowed his eyes, revealing a terrifying hatred. His zombie-like body was covered with pus and exuded a foul stench.

"Wen Miao's body and soul were seriously injured?"

"Hehe, the death of a disciple doesn't matter, but who will replace the corpse that Wen Miao pays tribute to every month? Damn it!"

Peng Qishang stood up and walked out of the retreat room.

"I will extract your soul and refine it into an iron corpse that retains its intelligence. You will be at my service for a hundred years, unable to live or die."

"kindness?"

Peng Qishang suppressed his resentment and looked down at the floor.

There was a rustling noise.

"Where did the stink bug come from..."

boom!
The roots of the banyan tree pierced directly into Peng Qishang's chest, shattering his heart with incredible precision. The latter didn't even have time to use his internal energy.

"Uh uh uh."

Peng Qishang tried to break free, but the roots took him back into the ground.

boom.

“A thousand-year-old demon? How… How could there be a thousand-year-old demon? Why is it killing me? Why is the thousand-year-old demon killing me?!”

His dying consciousness discovered that he was getting closer and closer to Wen Miao's remaining breath.

"Fuck you, Wen Miaoni...you..."

Peng Qishang's life force was completely cut off, and his corpse became the first fertilizer for the banyan tree after it had been on the path for a thousand years. Even though it did not increase experience, the branches had already begun to produce fruits.

.........

After Peng Qishang's death, the Jinwu Guards stationed in Gaojia Town immediately noticed something was wrong. After all, the talisman related to life began to dim.

Zuo Yan’s smile froze.

He stared at the beetle in doubt, with cold sweat on his forehead.

Zhu Yihong was unaware of Zuo Yan's fear and said softly, "Master Zuo, after Captain Peng comes to Yanliang Town, should we cooperate with him to find the trace of the Black Coffin Man?"

"No, please don't!"

"The man in the black coffin... no, no, according to the people, it's Zhong Kui. Zhu Yihong, from now on, when it comes to matters involving Zhong Kui, you should focus on making friends with him."

Zuo Yan exhaled clear air and crushed the remaining corpse worms into powder.

"Peng Qishang is dead. He shouldn't come to Yanliang Town to cause trouble. You should focus on the aftermath of the Pig Demon Case."

Zhu Yihong opened his mouth slightly, "Master Zuo, how did Captain Peng die?"

"Don't ask. He died accidentally in Gaojia Town."

Zuo Yan's eyes rolled around.

He suddenly felt that there were dangers everywhere around him. Ordinary furniture became extremely eerie. Could the nine-eared demon be in the yamen?

"I'll leave first. There's something urgent going on at Gao Village."

"Master Zuo..."

When Zuo Yan left the yamen in the air, he couldn't help but feel as if he saw enemies everywhere. Even a crow passing by scared him.

The starling watched the tiger's head disappear into the clouds and let out a mocking laugh.
