I can't be a demon.

Chapter 94: The Taoist Priest, Marrying into Gao Village
Yongcui Street.

Festive decorations were everywhere, and the thick fog covering the streets was tinged with bright red.

Inside the tailor shop, someone was staring at the ghost market carriage parked on the corner of the street. Then Shen Lian got out of the carriage, carrying a coffin behind him.

Zuo Yan and Zhang Yuanzhen looked at each other, their expressions full of surprise and doubt.

Shen Lian actually brought the Millennium Cotton-Wool Ghost back to Gao Village intact. The two of them couldn't help but look nervous, fearing that they were letting the tiger go back into the mountains.

To know.

There are still ghosts left in the tailor shop. If another thousand-year-old cotton ghost comes, the situation in the shop will probably get completely out of control.

Shen Lian passed by the tailor shop and went straight into the ghost pawnshop.

boom.

The door was closed tightly.

Zuo Yan looked around, trying to find the nine-eared demon disguised as a crow, but found no trace and pinched his nose in pain.

Zhang Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice: "Zuo Yan, is he considered a cave alchemist?"

"It probably doesn't count."

Zuo Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. No matter how you looked at it, Shen Lian was just a warrior, but his methods were simply shocking.

Zhang Yuanzhen took a deep breath, "Will he affect Gao Laozhuang's chance of marrying into the family? It won't be long before we have to welcome the True Lord."

"Zhang Yuanzhen, you and I are just responsible for guarding Gao Laozhuang. Do you still have expectations of entering the cave at this age?"

Zuo Yan had a lot of thoughts.

If his guess is correct, the Nine-eared Demon is most likely Shen Lian's protector. God knows why the two of them came to Gao Village.

[Marrying into the wife's family] is related to the achievement of a Taoist priest. Many people will come to Gao Village, including the Jinwu Guards who practice the [Tianpeng Sutra].

The group of half-human, half-pig Jinwu Guards were already familiar with Gao Village.

Most of those who can truly enter the cave residence have mastered the Tianpeng Sutra, and some Tianpeng Sutra practitioners have even received the [invitation] from the Gao Mansion in advance.

Bang bang bang.

There were rapid knocking sounds coming from the ghost pawnshop, mixed with faint desperate wails, which made the two men feel creepy.

Then cotton wool squeezed out from the crack in the door, and the thousand-year-old demon tried to escape.

"Hey."

The door of the ghost pawnshop opened slightly, and a scaly arm grabbed the cotton wool, which actually made a sizzling sound like a hot knife cutting butter.

Zuo Yan and the other man felt their scalps tingling.

The door of the Ghost Pawnshop closed, and soon Yongcui Street returned to silence.

.........

Shen Lian handed the cotton ghost's indenture contract to the ghost father.

The lobby was a mess.

As time goes by, the damage to the ground walls is gradually restored.

The coffin was placed next to the counter. The lid was damaged in many places and the talisman was dim. The ghost was staying inside obediently.

With Ghost Dad in charge, the Cotton Ghost had no power to resist the plundering resentment of the Wisdom Eye, and its apparent spiritual power was only eight hundred years old.

Ghost Dad said, "A Lian, he is not suitable for the pawn business."

Shen Lian frowned slightly.

The reason why he weakened the Cotton-Wool Ghost was that he wanted the latter to become an assistant to the Ghost Daddy, otherwise the Ghost Pawn Shop would be easily breached.

As a result, because the Cotton Ghost was born in a tailor shop, it seems difficult for it to integrate into the Ghost Pawn Shop.

Shen Lian's mind moved slightly, "Old man, even if he is not suitable for pawning, he can still be an apprentice. What kind of work do you think he is suitable for in the store?"

Dad stared at the coffin for a moment.

"The calligraphy and paintings on silk cloth need cotton thread to be repaired. He should be able to give me a hand."

The voice just fell.

The coffin shook violently, and the cotton-wool ghost struggled desperately. The thick cotton-wool wrapped around the ghost, and its resentment was beginning to take on a different look.

No matter how many times Shen Lian has seen it, he can't hide his amazement at the Ghost Dad's abilities. Facing demons with inferior abilities, he can simply do whatever he says.

"Ah Lian."

The old man returned the gourd to Shen Lian and said, "The gourd hasn't changed much recently. Ah Lian, go ask the old Taoist priest who sold the gourd to you."

"Row."

Shen Lian showed a look of delight.

It was obvious that the gourd had been tempered to the extreme by the ghost father, and its material had completely turned into purple-blue jade, exuding a faint resentment.

【Ghost Gourd】

[Originally it was an ordinary gourd, but after Shen Hansheng's transformation into a ghost, it has become a medium-level magical instrument that can absorb medicinal power to brew medicinal wine.]

The middle multiplier device is not sold on the third floor of the Ghost Market, and it is estimated that it can only be seen on the fourth floor. The value of the ghost gourd can be seen.

Of course, it is not without cost.

Shen Lian noticed that Ghost Dad's skills were actually decreasing instead of increasing.

He temporarily slowed down the idea of ​​refining the other two magic weapons. It seemed that he had to find a way to increase his father's cultivation. If he had two or three thousand years, he might be able to refine a superior magic weapon.

Ghost Dad no longer paid attention to the coffin, and turned around and said, "A Lian, I'm going to Granny Liu's rice shop. She's not in good health."

"Old man, do you have any guests on weekdays?"

"No."

After saying this, Gui Dad walked out of the store.

Shen Lian watched Ghost Dad leave. Then a skinny figure opened the side door of the rice shop next door. Granny Liu looked like an ordinary old woman.

But the moment he saw Granny Liu, he couldn't help coughing.

The mouth is already filled with glutinous rice.

Shen Lian forced the rice into his stomach, but it stuck to his esophagus and began to grow as if it were a living thing, seemingly trying to burst his flesh and blood.

[Appraisal completed, Nine Qi Di Yan experience +0.03%]

"It's really weird." If Shen Lian didn't have the wisdom eye to protect him, he would definitely not stay in Gao Village for long. Every shop has different taboos. If you are not careful, you may die without knowing how.

"The Gao family should be getting married next. If it's too dangerous, I'll just go back to Yanliang Town to avoid the limelight."

Shen Lian leaned against the counter.

Putting aside the strange taboos, Gao Laozhuang is undoubtedly a blessed place.

As long as it is not exposed to the outside world, the pork and meat in the stomach will not aggravate the abnormality, but will continue to produce nutrients.

In a few months at most, the Giant Eater Ram will have enough experience to be promoted.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's consolidate our cultivation first."

Shen Lian controlled the Yin and Yang energy to circulate in a circle, with the starting point being the lower Dantian and the end point being the upper Dantian, flushing the Yuandan and soul.

The strength becomes more refined, and the Qi and blood become stronger.

Shen Lian secretly looked at his Dantian, and the soybean-sized Yuandan was floating up and down in the strong force.

"When I became a court official, I tried to bind myself, but it didn't work. The occupation panel prompted that I had to bind an external object."

"anyway."

"Although the Yuandan is formed by the condensation of strength, it should actually be considered an external object, right?"

The more Shen Lian thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but he had no clue about the fourth profession at the moment, and the special professions related to alchemists did not meet the requirements.

The [Tianhe Demon Master] from Gao Village should be the closest to him.

But it is impossible for Shen Lian to take the risk and go deep into Gao Laozhuang. Zhu Bajie is a member of the four people who traveled to the West. In his previous life, he was the Marshal Tianpeng. If he turned into a demon, his strength would be immeasurable.

"uncertain."

"Before he met Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie was in a very difficult situation. As far as I can remember, he had fallen to the point of doing farm work in Gao Village."

Shen Lian suppressed his suicidal thoughts.

"Even if you want to covet the Tianhe Demon Master, you have to go through the Jinwu Guards."

"The Jinwu Guards hid in the tailor shop and took the risk to clear out the ghosts. Most likely they are here to worship in the cave. Let's see what their situation is."

Shen Lian yawned, took out three inner alchemy secret books and started reading them.

[Hunyuan Qi Hai] makes the circulation of Yin and Yang energy continuous, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it. Anyway, you are bored, you might as well try to practice internal alchemy at the same time.

Shen Lian had a foundation in Hunyuan Inner Alchemy, and in just a moment he thoroughly understood the Three Inner Alchemies, and even noticed that some of the annotations were ambiguous.

"Wang Lanfang, who created three inner elixirs, is probably not as thorough as I am. If it were a thousand years ago, I would have been able to found a school of my own."

Shen Lian adjusted his breathing, allowing his dantian to produce a rhythm at a special frequency.

Logically speaking, he should also visualize the rising sun, the midday sun, and the setting sun, so that eventually three strands of strength will naturally be born in his dantian.

"Since you can't control your body, you need to go through a long process to make yourself compatible with the inner alchemy technique."

"Why would I need to go through so much trouble to cultivate my innate holy body?"

Shen Lian's aura changed continuously, his flesh, blood, and bones shrank and expanded, and before long, he found the state recorded in the three inner elixirs.

A slight heat is generated in the three dantians, imitating the three yangs in a day.

Shen Lian maintained it carefully, and soon three strands of strength emerged in his lower dantian, but they seemed incompatible with the Yuandan.

“As long as there is no conflict.”

Yuandan is the foundation of the Great Dao. If it is damaged, it will affect the body and soul.

Actually, for Shen Lian, it doesn't matter if the Yuandan is broken. He can recreate it out of thin air by adding some inner alchemy skills. The problem is...

Internal alchemy is too expensive.

The Yuandan in the Xudan period was extremely fragile. Shen Lian always felt that if he punched himself in the abdomen, he would feel the pain of the Yuandan exploding.

Fortunately, with the practice of the sixth level of Yuandan, the inner elixir will become stronger.

The Yuandan can even leave the body for a short period of time. It is said that the power of the Jinwu Guards' secret techniques can be increased by 30% with the help of the Yuandan.

Shen Lian was immersed in the three inner elixirs unknowingly.

Compared to the human father's pawnshop, the ghost pawnshop was too quiet, and one couldn't even feel the passage of time. The few clerks didn't dare to disturb it.

Until a strong resentment spread out.

"Little Doll."

Shen Lian suddenly opened his eyes.

There was an old man in front of the counter, his wrinkled face constantly dropping sticky rice, and the resentment that made up his body was on the verge of collapse.

It was none other than the thousand-year-old ghost [Grandma Liu] from the rice shop next door.

"Where's my father?"

Shen Lian showed no fear at all, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Granny Liu had a beautiful smile on her face.

"Shen Hansheng was helping me clean the rice jar in the store. The little kid had a really bad temper and almost scared Granny Liu to death."

Shen Lian intuitively felt that Granny Liu was indeed on the verge of death, especially after leaving the rice shop, her spiritual power had been declining sharply.

Granny Liu panted and said, "Don't be afraid. Granny has attended several wedding banquets. She doesn't have much time left. She just wants to hand over the shop to her grandson before she dies."

"Grandma Liu, your grandson..."

"He's not dead yet, but he'll be dead soon! He's working in Gaojia Town!!!"

Granny Liu covered her mouth and said, "Little kid, the Gao family is getting married and needs to send gifts, Granny wants you to help me find some rice dumpling leaves."

"A 400-500-year-old bamboo leaf will do."

Shen Lian realized that Granny Liu was talking about the ghost skin.

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it." Granny Liu glanced at the coffin in the corner, "A thousand-year-old ghost almost died. How dare Granny force it?"

Granny Liu walked out of the ghost pawnshop tremblingly, "Every year, half-human, half-pig officials come to Yongcui Street. I think they like Gao's martial arts hall at the end of the street very much. You can take a look when you have time."

"Okay, Granny Liu, take care. I won't see you off."

Shen Lian's eyebrows cracked open, what Granny Liu said was indeed true.

"Gao's martial arts school, right?"
