I can't be a demon.

Chapter 77 Listening to music in a brothel? I am a serious person
Shen Lian took advantage of the late night and came to the Bibo Tower.

Although he was not wearing a hat, his appearance was slightly different after his skin and flesh had shrunk through horizontal training, and he looked like an ordinary scholar.

"Ah~ Master Ba, I also want to go into the brothel to listen to music~"

"Go away."

Shen Lian hurriedly stopped the starling from talking nonsense. Fortunately, there was constant singing in the Bi Bo Tower and no one noticed the starling that was mimicking words outside the door.

"Master Ba, please wait outside. If there is any danger, come and help me."

"Drinking~"

Shen Lian seemed a little helpless. He gave the starling a few sips of the gourd until the bird was satisfied. He then took it back and gave it some serious instructions.

The starling landed on the top of the eaves, flapping its wings and combing its feathers out of boredom.

Shen Lian's strong power surged into his pupils, and he found that the guests entering and leaving the Bibo Tower were already tainted with resentment, which meant that they had just encountered ghosts not long ago.

On the open platform on the second floor, several ordinary courtesans were playing the piano and singing.

Their situation is similar to that of the guests, except that they are severely eroded by resentment. Although they appear normal on the surface, they have actually become puppets.

"No wonder Zhu Yihong is afraid of me going on a killing spree. My goodness, Bibo Tower is full of resentment, but the true form of the ghost is nowhere to be found."

Shen Lian put the bone blade into the fruit core and hummed a few lines of a tune.

"I will never forget the lonely forest of the fairy in the secluded world."

"I sigh for the world, I now believe that there is something imperfect in perfection."

"Even if we are in harmony, it is still hard to accept..."

When a madam saw Shen Lian approaching, she immediately reached out to stop him, "Sir, you know the rules of Bibo Tower. Tea money is always required."

Shen Lian's heart rate dropped sharply, and his qi and blood became intermittent.

The madam passed by Shen Lian in front of her, and the latter walked into Bibo Tower with a dignified manner. The beauties in front of the door seemed to be oblivious to the surroundings.

"After becoming a puppet created by ghosts, they are essentially already corpses. With a little restraint of qi and blood, they will become dead objects."

Shen Lian glanced around.

There were tables filled with delicious food and fine wine in the Bi Bo Tower, and it was now filled with guests, who were being intimate with the courtesan puppet that looked no different from a dead person.

"What a strong taste, each of them is like Xu Xian or Ning Caichen."

Shen Lian took a quick look and found a few Jinwu Guards mixed in the crowd. They all chose to watch coldly when faced with the scene of the unresolved love between a human and a ghost.

He randomly chose a small single table near the window.

"First find the true form of the ghost and kill it. Don't give the demon a chance to escape, and don't make too much noise to affect my search for the body."

Shen Lian maintained the strength of his pupils, and as a result, looking at the entire Bibo Tower, only a crazy old woman was not dead.

The old woman was in charge of cleaning up leftovers in the lobby. She did dirty and tiring work every day, and as she was old and frail, she was not taken seriously by ghosts.

"There is a demon! There is a demon in the Bibo Tower, why don't you leave!!!"

The old woman kept muttering in a mysterious way, trying to inform the guests who came and went, but they were all bewitched by the ghost.

They just thought the old woman was a crazy woman and waved her away in disgust.

"Demons, all of you are demons, you must die in Bibo Tower..."

As the old woman walked, resentment began to penetrate into her bones. Her speech became unclear, and it would not be long before she became a puppet of the ghost.

"Old woman, tell me more about the demons."

The old woman paused and belatedly saw Shen Lian, but even though she opened her mouth, no sound came out of her throat.

Shen Lian patted the old woman's shoulder, and all the resentment in her body dissipated.

The two of them were in a corner and did not attract attention.

The Jinwu Guards were mainly concerned about the courtesans. They could feel that the noise outside the door was gradually disappearing, indicating that the bailiffs had dispersed the passers-by.

The old woman panted violently and couldn't help but say, "Sir, Bibo Tower has become a devil's den. Let's go now while there's still time. If you're any later, you'll die here."

She couldn't help but recall her experiences of the past few days and muttered to herself.

"Miss Yin was putting on makeup in front of a bronze mirror. I saw with my own eyes that she took off her human skin, revealing... her bloody body. Huhuhuhu."

The old woman was trembling all over and was helped by Shen Lian to sit down.

"Xiao Feng was such a good person, but only one night had passed and I never saw her again. She must have died in Bibo Tower."

"And the kitchen guys all hanged themselves in the middle of the night."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Go quickly! There is no one alive in Bibo Tower."

Seeing that Shen Lian was indifferent, the old woman thought that the latter's mind had been corroded by resentment. She closed her eyes and murmured: "Master Zhong Kui bless me, the demon will not die a good death, Master Zhong Kui bless me..."

"Old lady, please have some tea and rest for a while."

Shen Lian observed the lobby.

The five Jinwu Guards of Yanliang Town were scattered everywhere, ready to take action against the demons at any time, while the attitudes of the remaining Jinwu Guards were ambiguous.

There were three Jinwu Guards waiting at the door. They seemed ready to cooperate with Wang Xin and others at any time, but in fact they had already thought about escaping.

Anyway, the casualties among mortals in Bibo Tower had nothing to do with them.

Some other Jinwu Guards and yamen runners were on guard outside. They didn't want to take any risk, but were unwilling to give up the credit.

"More than a dozen Jinwu Guards, and two hundred careful people, right?"

Shen Lian noticed that in the private room on the second floor with a wide view, there were two Jinwu Guards, a man and a woman, whose cultivation had reached the perfection of the five innate realms.

However, they seemed much more at ease, listening to the music and chatting with great interest. They didn't even try to hide their internal strength and didn't care about the danger at all.

The two have obvious differences.

Although their hair was waist-length, one could still see that they had a second face behind their heads, a strange fox face hidden in the long hair.

"The internal strength is probably related to the [Jade-faced Fox]." In the Moyun Cave on Jilei Mountain in Journey to the West, there is a group of fox spirits that have cultivated into demons.

The Jade-faced Fox was originally the concubine of Bull Demon King. Later, the four masters and apprentices came to borrow the palm-leaf fan, but were killed by Zhu Bajie.

"No, no, no, Master Zhong Kui is here."

The old woman was so nervous that she was sweating profusely and almost fell to the ground.

The style of music in Bibo Tower changed slightly.

An old procuress shouted loudly: "My dear friends and neighbors, on this beautiful day, Lingyue, the leader of the brothel, is honored to perform a dance and sing a song on the stage. Thank you for coming to support us!"

A faint fragrance filled the air, causing an uproar in the lobby. Everyone stared at the platform at the same time, and the curtain slowly covered it.

"Go, go, go..."

The old woman's pupils dilated, as if she was about to face an unspeakable monster.

A graceful woman was dancing lightly. Her movements were a little awkward and stiff, but the audience was staring at her intently.

The old woman seemed to have lost all her strength, and there was a hint of despair in her eyes.

She knew that tonight was a night of death.

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

In his eyes, the so-called Lingyue is still just a ghost puppet.

The so-called courtesan's appearance on stage now seems to have some flavor of shadow play, and the Bibo Tower seems to be a trap set up to attract the Jinwu Guards.

A scholar stood up and said eagerly, "Who is the Hundred Flower Queen? Who is Lingyue? I wonder if I can see Miss Lingyue's true appearance. It would be worth dying for."

The madam pointed to the second floor and said, "Young Master, please come in."

The scholar hurriedly walked up the stairs, but after only a few steps, his energy was drained at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin and flesh became withered.

Snapped.

The falling of corpses did not affect the frenzied atmosphere in the lobby.

"damn it!!!"

Wang Xin's face was grim, and the tabletop sizzled where his palms touched. He turned to ask Li Shun, "Haven't you found the true form of the demon yet?"

"No."

Six pupils grew on Li Shun's forehead, which was the ultimate level of his current multi-eye realm.

However, although the Bibo Tower was filled with resentment, there was no trace of its source, and even the scholar’s ​​death was inexplicable.

"Something's wrong, something very wrong."

Wang Xin had a gloomy expression on his face, and signaled the yamen runners stationed in the brothel to move closer to him.

Bibo Tower looks extraordinary from beginning to end.

First, the demon behind the scenes revealed his true colors two or three days in advance, and after attracting the attention of the Jinwu Guards, he continued to act as the so-called courtesan.

Wang Xin and others did not conceal their layout in the Bibo Tower at all, intending to deliberately alert the enemy and force out the hidden demon's true form.

The demon seemed to be challenging the Jinwu Guards, in stark contrast to the cunning it had displayed before.

"Something's wrong."

"The eight demons from Gao Village should be preparing for the temple fair. Why does Bibo Tower feel like something out of the plan?"

Wang Xin narrowed his eyes, "If there is a human factor, I will eat him alive even if I lose my head afterwards!"

Li Shun asked cautiously, "Boss Wang, what should we do next?"

"Wait for half an hour at most. Regardless of whether the demon's true form appears or not, clear the area immediately when the time is up. Do not allow more casualties to occur."

Wang Xin saw that Zhu Yihong was a little uneasy, "Zhu Yihong, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yihong glanced at the corner obscurely. Shen Lian was drinking wine with a plate of peanuts he had brought with him, and occasionally chatting with the old woman.

"It's okay. Half an hour is not too long."

Wang Xin shook his head and said, "Not long. The demon is more patient than we thought."

Zhu Yihong thought to herself, "The demon is indeed patient, but I'm afraid Shen Lian will lose his patience and start a massacre in Bibo Tower!"

She took a deep breath and gripped the sword at her waist tightly, ready for battle.

When the situation in Bibo Building was fermenting.

Two Jinwu Guards with fox faces suddenly stood up and left. They walked straight out of the lobby and smiled at Lingyue on the podium with their fox faces.

Click click click.

Lingyue froze in place.

The curtain was stained with blood, and an extremely terrifying demonic aura burst out.

Cotton wool appeared on Lingyue's facial features, and the originally long and winding female voice suddenly changed and turned into the hoarse tone of an old man.

"Ms. Gao, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown, is a riot of colour.

"Miss Gao, if you get married again next year, I, a seamstress, will weave new clothes for you, still with the same phoenix crown and bridal robe, still in all its splendor."

The spectator was in a daze and kept calling out Miss Gao's name.

Shen Lian smiled coldly.

Lingyue, who was just a puppet, suddenly began to transform into her true form as a demon. Her flesh, blood and bones became deformed, and a huge amount of cotton wool flew around.

"These two half-human, half-demon vixens really think they are so clever? They use demons to test us. Haha, they are so bold."

Shen Lian did not pursue the Jinwu Guards, his target was still the demons.

But he didn't mind freeing his hands to kill the two jade-faced foxes.
