I can't be a demon.

Chapter 83: Crying also counts as time!
The Gao Mansion doesn't look like a new building at all, and each room is very old.

After Shen Lian entered Gao's mansion, his figure returned to normal, and he was greeted by a chilling resentment.

He raised his eyes and looked around.

Every blade of grass and every tree in Gao's mansion was filled with resentment. In the corridors between the buildings, one could see several wandering ghosts with pig heads and human bodies, whose cultivation was no more than twenty years.

Shen Lian broke off a piece of branch, put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

[Take Sophora japonica twigs, Giant Ram experience +0.01%]

A warm current surged out of his stomach, his strength was replenished with nutrients, and he actively repelled the internal force left by Hu Zhanfu, and the flesh and blood in his arms squirmed.

Shen Lian looked at the surface of the skin, and saw more than a dozen ferocious fox faces emerging.

The fox face was like a parasite attached to the arm. When it felt the threat of the force, it let out a hysterical wail that was suffocating.

"Are the methods of the alchemists so evil?"

Shen Lian's strength suddenly turned into high temperature, burning each fox face.

"what……"

In a moment, a burn scar appeared on the skin, but the fox face disappeared. It can be seen that Hu Zhanfu's internal strength is more demonic, otherwise it can be easily removed by using the wisdom eye.

Shen Lian hugged the tree trunk and took several bites, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"To me, Gao Mansion is a blessed land. What can you, Hu Zhanfu, use to fight me?"

After Shen Lian ate half of the tree trunk, he also consolidated the strength he had just gained, and a black and white vortex formed in his dantian.

He called out the career panel.

【Shen Lian】

[Realm: Innate (Root of the Nasal Root)]

[Martial arts: Yin-Yang Qi Posture (Yin-Yang Mixed Yuan), Indestructible Bronze Body (Bronze Body Dharma), Sea Tide Fist (Tide), Falling Spring Palm (Minor Success), Horizontal Sword Style (Great Success), Qingfeng Sword Technique (First Glimpse)]

[Level 22.14 Occupation: Nine Qi Earth Hatred (%)]

[Level 6.27 Occupation: Giant Ram (%)]

.........

Shen Lian scanned the information and found that the transformation of the pole method was not only unique in that it could be controlled freely, but also that its power was greatly increased. Moreover, the Yin-Yang power could already obviously hurt demons.

Unfortunately, he was unable to use his special ability flexibly for the time being, so he did not use it to test Hu Zhanfu, and chose to deal with the latter at Gao's home court.

Shen Lian exerted his strength and saw two ghosts approaching.

The ghost looked like a human body with a pig's head. It showed no appetite towards Shen Lian. Instead, it stood still and bent over to lead the way.

"Uncle, please come in!"

boom.

Shen Lian gently stroked the ghost's head and used his wisdom eyes.

The pig's head exploded.

"His cultivation level is low. He must have just become a ghost not long ago. He only relied on the resentment of the Gao family to reach the level of 20 to 30 years."

"By the way, where's the starling?"

Shen Lian secretly had a headache. Mynah bird really liked to stir up trouble. Fortunately, the latter had once come into contact with a thousand-year-old pig ghost in the ghost market, so he didn't get into any trouble.

"I don't know the exact location of the Millennium Pig Ghost."

"what?"

The candlelight in the lantern flickered, and the sad singing sounded again.

"In Yue Lao Temple, couples make wishes together, and blessings come..."

According to Shen Lian's observations outside, the song was repeated every twenty minutes, and the source should be the thousand-year-old pig ghost in Gao Village.

The singing became more and more hoarse.

Shen Lian smelled a strange fishy odor in his nose.

He couldn't help but restrain his energy and blood, and his heartbeat slowed to the extreme.

Shen Lian frowned slightly. Because of his food-replenishing ability, he could sense the smell of monsters within a certain range, and he could also barely tell the monster's approximate level based on its appetite.

But the sudden fishy smell made him feel nauseous and want to retch.

"The thousand-year-old ghost has appeared?"

Shen Lian's muscles were tense as a shadow gradually appeared on the wall in front of him. It was an extremely large shadow, more than ten meters long.

The shadow's real body was suspended in the air above Gao Mansion, and its appearance was extremely strange.

Judging from the outline, it has some traces of a woman, but it is more like a pig, and there seem to be two extra pig heads growing on its neck.

.........

"Here we go again, force-feeding."

Shen Lian felt a little full in his stomach, which was similar to what happened on the second floor of the Ghost Market.

The ghost is definitely not the same one, and the abilities it displays most likely originated from Gao Laozhuang, or in other words, from Zhu Bajie.

Finished with one song.

"My dear, my dear!!!"

The fishy wind blew behind my head, and it seemed that the demon was very close.

Shen Lian's hair suddenly stood on end, and he instinctively wanted to turn around and punch him, but his neck just shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the strange message on the invitation to Gao Laozhuang.

【Remember, don’t look back!!】

clack clack...

During the half breath he paused, his neck made a teeth-grinding noise, as if an invisible arm was forcibly twisting his spine.

The neck was dislocated and twisted, with tiny bone cracks all over it.

"damn it!"

Shen Lian performed horizontal training, his neck swelled up, his right hand grasped the bone blade at his waist, the blade edge turned into flesh and blood, and the blade hummed continuously.

"It seems that as long as you don't look back, the demon won't attack."

The Millennium Pig Ghost continued to mutter a few words and then disappeared in mid-air.

Shen Lian looked around carefully, pulled out a handful of weeds and swallowed them. His spine was repositioned and the fractured bones healed under the nourishment.

"I'm afraid the bigger you turn your head, the stronger the force with which the ghost will twist your neck."

"If it was an ordinary person in the fifth level of Xiantian, he would have been beheaded by that blow, right?"

Shen Lian tapped his aching neck and continued chewing some grass.

"There should be quite a few thousand-year-old pig ghosts in Gao Village. It's impossible that all of them are Miss Gao. What were their identities when they were alive?"

Shen Lian suppressed his distracting thoughts. The most urgent task was to deal with Hu Zhanfu, otherwise he would not be able to concentrate on collecting the wool.

When Shen Lian thought about taking advantage of the situation, he couldn't help but become eager to make a move. After all, the experience that could be provided in Gao's mansion was unimaginable. Even if he couldn't get promoted in his career, he would definitely earn a lot of points.

"It's unrealistic to blindly look for Hu Zhanfu. We need to find out where he is going."

Shen Lian's gaze fell on the main hall of the mansion. Not only were there the most pig ghosts wandering around, but the pig ghosts that had been killed previously were also leading the way to the main hall.

Eighty percent of the dozen or so prisoners that Hu Zhanfu placed in Gao’s mansion were among them.

"No matter what secret technique the old fox wants to perform through the prisoners, the main hall is definitely the only way. I want to see what tricks he has."

Shen Lian's footwork became more frequent.

He was conceited and walked faster than Hu Zhanfu in the cold and gloomy Gao Mansion.

"Uncle, uncle..."

The pig ghost stepped back politely, allowing Shen Lian to pass by.

bang bang.

The blood and flesh residue on the ground turned into resentment and flowed into Shen Lian's mouth and nose. Unfortunately, the experience provided was little more than nothing, so he couldn't cause any ripples.

Shen Lian came to the main hall.

The main hall looked like a temple from the outside, but inside it was actually a series of closed rooms. One could faintly hear the weak cries of the prisoners.

There is a "囍" character on the door of the wing room.

Shen Lian looked through the window and noticed that the furnishings in the wing room were shaped like a pigsty, with no furniture and the ground covered with dead grass.

The prisoner already has some pig-demon characteristics.

But their demonization was not caused by the erosion of resentment, but by sewing guinea pig features onto their faces with needle and thread, which gradually merged with the flesh and blood.

There are two pig ghosts guarding the door of each wing room, just like the servants of a wealthy merchant's house.

"Sir, please. The tailor who will make the dress will be here soon."

"Oh?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, as long as he walked into the wing room, he would attract the tailor ghost with seven or eight hundred years of Taoism, but Shen Lian was not in a hurry to leave.

"Ten, nine... three, two, one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thousand-year-old pig ghost descended into the air again.

This time, Shen Lian did not move, not giving the Millennium Pig Ghost the chance to twist his neck. He waited until the figure in the air disappeared before he stepped into the room.

The door is closed.

Almost at the same time, heavy footsteps were heard in the main hall corridor.

The person who came was a ghost with twine. Then a large number of silk threads extended from the beams and tied up Shen Lian, who seemed to have no intention of resisting.

"Uncle, here I come."

There is no need to open the door, countless twine can be squeezed into the gaps between doors and windows.

The hemp ropes were seen gathering together, and the hunchbacked old man slowly climbed up. The hemp ropes wrapped around Shen Lian had begun to tighten, ready to cut the flesh and blood.

"Uncle, it hurts a little, please... bear with it."

Snapped.

The hemp rope broke.

The old man looked surprised.

Shen Lian was facing the wall with his back to the wall, and when his muscles bulged, his face turned into a grinning ghost face.

For some reason, the twine ghost felt an unspeakable fear even though there was a rare blood food in front of him, and he kept backing away.

"Stand still, or you'll die!!!"

Shen Lian turned around.

The scorching sea of ​​fire filled the room, and it was too late for the hemp ghost to escape.

A hand stretched out from the sea of ​​fire and grasped the head of the twine ghost. The blown-up dry grass fanned the fire and thick smoke spread everywhere.

Bang bang bang.

There was a sound of violent wind and rain coming from the wing room.

Perhaps because of the twenty-minute time limit, Shen Lian's attack was extremely ruthless, and dense cracks spread across the walls of the room.

After a long time.

The main hall returned to peace.

.........

Hu Zhanfu, transformed into a human-faced fox, shuttled through the bushes, trying his best to avoid the pig ghost's sight, and attempted to use his remaining internal strength to find Shen Lian.

"Shen Lian is doomed to die, but only by obtaining his soul can we learn the true strength of the Nine-eared Demon and seize a glimmer of hope for survival."

Rumble.

There was a noise coming from the main hall.

Hu Zhanfu's chest heaved violently and he quickly changed direction.

"Is he bewitched by a ghost? Otherwise, why would he go to the main hall?"

"Once Shen Lian provokes the Twine Ghost, and fails to kill the ghost before the Millennium Pig Ghost descends, his soul will inevitably be torn apart."

"No !!!!"

Hu Zhanfu's expression was distorted. He ignored the erosion of resentment and drove his internal force, instantly turning into a two-meter-tall human-faced fox, rushing all the way.

He arrived at the main hall and immediately saw the wing room emitting energy and blood.

"The Twine Ghost hasn't shown up yet?"

"Or is it that Shen Lian is already dead?"

Hu Zhanfu's inner strength was no longer retained, and the side room came into view.

in the dark.

It is a pair of dark golden pupils.

The terrifying monster, which was four meters tall, was leaning against the wall and gathering strength.

The inky black scales reflect cold light. If you look closely, you can see mysterious water ripples flowing on the scales.

The palm completely turned into a claw, and after it was clenched into a fist, bone spurs protruded from the back of the fist.

What Hu Zhanfu found most incredible was that the monster actually had a dragon horn growing on its forehead.

boom! ! !
The monster broke through the compartment.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Hu Zhanfu. The Millennium Pig Ghost only has a quarter of an hour left. Well, I'll get rid of you within a quarter of an hour!"

Hu Zhanfu's internal strength is slightly disordered.

"Scared?"

“Crying counts as time!!!”
