Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 37: 37 The Vegetable-Eating Demon Cult, Everything is Ready (4 Thousand Two-in-One)

The more chaotic the world becomes, the better the black market business becomes.

Li Cunxiao covered the demon meat in his arms with his left hand and strode across the long street.

There were people selling slaves, weapons, and secret manuals, and there was even a pregnant woman in a cage. The stall owner nearby was shouting:

"Nine months of pregnancy, now it's time to get your placenta! First come, first served!"

He frowned and walked faster, but a pair of eyes were fixed on him from behind.

"Isn't that the one who often comes to my stall to buy meat?"

Sha Ping still looked lazy, bargaining with the customer in a casual manner while casting a subtle glance over his shoulder.

He is also a veteran with perfected Qi and blood for many years. Although the future is hopeless, he has been fighting with others for many years and hunting monsters in the mountains and forests, so his ability to judge people is extraordinary.

He had never seen Li Cunxiao's face, but his height, footsteps and other small details were not difficult to recognize. Including the last time, this was the second time he saw Li Cunxiao coming out of the Chaibang shop.

Last time I came back empty-handed, but this time it seems like I’ve gained something?
Fat sheep?

These gangsters are like this. When they can't beat the enemy, they become stall owners. When they can beat the enemy, they become robbers.

Hunting by yourself is so troublesome. Wouldn’t it be easier to purchase directly from your peers?

However, his eyes had only been on Li Cunxiao for a few breaths when the other party suddenly turned around as if pricked by a needle, staring at him with his eyes. Sha Ping was startled and quickly turned around to concentrate on bargaining with the customer.

After the customer had bought everything, Sha Ping felt that the gaze had disappeared for a long time, then he raised his head and let out a low breath.

"Damn, that's pretty impressive. He can detect gazes, so he's at least on the same level as me."

"Forget it, there are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune. I, Lao Sha, will not take orders that I am not sure of."

Demon meat has always been popular on the black market, and the business has been even more booming recently. Less than half an hour after setting up the stall, Sha Ping was ready to leave with an empty bag.

But when he was about to reach the exit, for some reason, he remembered Li Cunxiao's ferocious eyes and inexplicably changed the way out.

It would be bad if the other party was a vengeful person and was targeted.

The waning moon is like a hook, and only a little light seeps into the alley.

Sha Ping carefully slipped out of the path and confirmed that no one was ambushing or following him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and strode out.

However, after taking a few steps, his body suddenly stiffened, and the two swords at his waist were already drawn in his hands.

The shadow of the house twisted and expanded, and several people walked out of it. Sha Ping's eyes rolled around.
"Hey guys, I'm just passing by."

He wanted to say a few more words to delay time, but he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

Grass!
His energy and blood surged instantly, and his skinny body suddenly expanded. Killing intent surged in Sha Ping's eyes, and he stabbed backwards with his two swords at lightning speed.

Ding, ding.

There were two slight sounds, and the sharp steel knife was like hitting an iron plate, and my hands were numb from the shock.

"naughty"

When Sha Ping heard the low voice, he suddenly felt his neck being pinched, and the next moment, he lost consciousness completely.

When I woke up again and opened my eyes, the flickering light of the oil lamp in the narrow room and the sea of ​​white clothes and black hats made my scalp tingle.

"Ming Cult?! You are not heroes. I have no grudge against you!"

Sha Ping's eyes were filled with fear. Although he changed his words before he even said them, some people in the group still understood what he meant and snorted coldly:
"You mean, weren't we captured by that bastard official Murongdu? How could we dare to come to Chuqiu City?"

"Sooner or later, I'll have to kill that bastard and sacrifice him to the emperor!"

"That's right!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes had turned unfriendly, Sha Ping suddenly heard a familiar voice:

"If there is an angel of light who will appear in the world to teach sentient beings and free them from suffering, brothers and sisters, please be patient. Sooner or later, the holy fire of light will engulf this city."

"But before the altar master arrives, everyone must wait patiently."

The man who was speaking obviously had great prestige. The group of people called him "Incense Master" and obediently fell silent.

But Sha Ping looked at the two cuts on the other person's white linen clothes on both sides of the waist and instantly recognized that this was the person who had caught him like a chicken.

"Don't be afraid, benefactor." The man walked out of the shadows, revealing six scars from his ordination on his bald head. His smile was gentle, yet chilling.

"We just want to ask you something about the black market and the Chai Gang."

"If you can answer honestly, maybe you can become our brother or sister."

"Strange, no one took the bait?"

Li Cunxiao still looked like a black man with blackened skin, hiding quietly in a ruin near the exit of the black market.

The view here is just enough to take in all the exit paths.

"You don't catch the fat sheep, no wonder you can only sell meat at the stall."

Li Cunxiao waited for a quarter of an hour but no one came. He guessed that the other party had given up. Although it was a pity that he could not charge the vajra a little more, he could only put away the poison darts, flying stones and quicklime that were laid out in a row, turned around and left quickly.

A warrior with perfect Qi and blood will become more alert mentally due to the fullness of essence and energy, but the effect is not exaggerated.

More importantly, after Li Cunxiao began to practice visualization, he gradually discovered that his perception ability was slowly getting stronger.

Therefore, when Sha Ping's malicious gaze fell on him, Li Cunxiao immediately noticed it. When he saw that it was an acquaintance who usually sold meat, he had the idea of ​​repaying him and waited at the exit of the black market first.

But I didn't expect that the other party was also a veteran. I guess he felt that the risk was too great after weighing the pros and cons, so he gave up.

But Li Cunxiao is not someone who gives up easily. He has already made up his mind that after he improves his muscles, he will come back to patronize the store and let the boss share in his joy.

Sha Ping: Thank you.

The night watchman struck the third watch drum, and Li Cunxiao returned to his yard amid the sound of the clappers.

He entered the house, closed the doors and windows, and nervously took out the demon meat worth seven hundred taels.

The oil lamp was lit, and a bean-sized yellow halo spread out, illuminating the bright red pieces of meat with an attractive sheen. Li Cunxiao looked at it, and his throat couldn't help but roll.

The strange fishy smell and fragrant aroma hit the nasal cavity at the same time. In this closed hut, Li Cunxiao noticed more clearly that the smell emitted by the meat itself had the effect of making people secrete saliva.

When he got closer and inhaled the two mixed smells into his nostrils, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and hunger in his stomach, and his mouth secreted a large amount of saliva, which made him want to pick up a knife, cut off a piece of raw meat and throw it into his mouth.

The vajra shone slightly. "Has this evil energy overflowed?"

Li Cunxiao was shocked. The evil energy in this meat was more than he had ever seen before. It was so much that it would quietly affect people even if they didn't eat it. Although the effect was extremely weak and it was easy to resist the urge to eat, it was completely on a different level from what he had come into contact with before.

OK!

Others are afraid of evil spirits like a tiger, but for him, the more the better!
Not wanting to make too much noise by cooking in the middle of the night, Li Cunxiao just built a small bonfire, cut the demon meat into thin slices, and roasted it on wooden sticks.

The flames licked the raw meat, and a layer of fat seeped out of the surface. A fishy smell mixed with a strange fragrance penetrated into his nose. Li Cunxiao held back his saliva and simply sprinkled some salt. When the skewers of meat cooled down a little, he opened his mouth wide and put them in his mouth.

The meat of this second-level demon has a slight sweet aftertaste when you put it in your mouth. The fishy smell becomes weaker the more you chew it, but the fragrance becomes stronger.

What followed was a scorching hot current that flowed through his body along his blood vessels. Li Cunxiao had no idea when he started sweating, and his skin had already turned red. In the firelight, the sweat reflected a warm glow, which contrasted sharply with the thick black blood vessels.

His eyes had turned blood red at some point, his breathing became heavier, the madness in his eyes broke through the limits of restraint, and murderous intent gradually surged in his heart.

Li Cunxiao thought of the wealthy families who were high above him, his two brothers who were starving, the glittering gold and silver, the smooth jade, and the beautiful girl's soft and smooth breasts.
Kill kill kill!

Adultery!
The vajra released a cool stream in time, and Li Cunxiao shuddered violently. He found that his five fingers, as thick as carrots, were resting on the door, and the bolt was half opened. He felt a sudden fear in his heart.

If it weren't for the treasure protecting his mind, he would have rushed out and killed everyone, and then been wiped out by the county government who rushed over after hearing the news.

“How many people in this world want to make progress like me, but don’t have the protection of a vajra?”

"How many of the countless demons in this world are ready to step over the barriers of human hearts at any time?"

Li Cunxiao felt relieved again, but the important matter at the moment was not this.

Relying on the second-level demon meat, the light of the vajra grew at a long-unseen high speed. Compared with the demon meat eaten before, the charging speed was almost five or six times faster, just like inflating a ball with an air gun, expanding visibly with the naked eye.

Li Cunxiao was overjoyed and quickly picked up the knife to cut the meat into skewers for grilling. But this time, he could only cut a little over 4 taels, almost half a catty, and his stomach could not eat any more.

The abundant qi and blood seemed to be stretching the skin, and the energy that was so strong that it had nowhere to vent poured into the limbs. The whole body was stiff, and even standing and boxing could not dissipate much of the energy. The whole person was like a "wooden" head.

Fortunately, the results were encouraging. This nearly half-pound demon meat increased the Vajra's energy by a full tenth. In other words, if Li Cunxiao could eat a pound a day, he would be fully charged again in five days.

"But my body couldn't handle it. The Vajra helped me digest the evil spirit, but the blood and energy were from a second-level demon. This level of flesh and blood is not something a warrior with perfect blood and energy can handle."

"But breaking through in ten days is pretty fast. I heard from Zhang Yuelu that she prepared for two or three months to improve her grasp. Ye Chengxiao only obtained the seduction magic a dozen days earlier than me."

"All we have to do now is follow the procedures and wait for the fruits of our labor."

In the following days, Li Cunxiao's life became unusually regular.

During the day, he would study in the warehouse, occasionally giving advice to Qin Yu and He Bi. When he got home, he would consume demon meat and practice the Tiger Demon Visualization Method every three days. The next day, he would go to the escort agency to seek help from Zhang Lishi under the pretext of reporting on his work.

In the past few days, although Mu Cha's external identity was still a book boy, he had much more freedom in moving around the mansion. Almost as soon as his classes were over every day, he would come to find Li Cunxiao with his schoolbag on his back.

Mu Cha was smart and made rapid progress in his studies and calligraphy, and even gradually surpassed Li Cunxiao, who had only attended a private school for one year.

The latter was also not ashamed to ask questions. When he encountered something he didn't know or didn't understand while reading, he simply asked Mu Cha to ask the teacher in Zhang's house on his behalf.

In this way, the two brothers learned from each other. This feeling of being a "little teacher" made Mu Cha feel more interesting than watching operas and eating candied haws. Therefore, after school every day, he simply changed places to continue studying.

When the news of her diligent performance reached the mansion, Zhang Que'er's life suddenly became difficult. It happened that Zhang Yuelu and Zhang Lishi, father and daughter, were busy with something these days and could not take care of her. Zhang Que'er could only endure everything silently, and her chubby little face turned into a bitter one.

"The Chief Escort and the Third Lady?"

Li Cunxiao listened to his brother talking about the gossip in the mansion and immediately had some guesses.

I'm afraid Zhang Yuelu is well prepared and is about to break through to the muscle realm.

Mu Cha was eating candied fruit when he accidentally saw the book in his elder brother's hand and subconsciously read it according to the cover:

"A Wandering Monk's Travels? Brother, what is this book about?"

"It's just the monks in the temple wandering around and writing down what they see."

Li Cunxiao smiled and touched his brother's head. After two months in Zhang's house, Mu Cha had grown very fast and his little face had also grown, becoming more handsome and elegant.

If there were no chaos in the world, Mu Cha might have been able to pass the imperial examination.
His gaze also fell on the book in his hand, and his eyes became deep for a moment.

This travelogue of a wandering monk records an event with far-reaching impact.

During the Huichang Persecution, Emperor Wuzong destroyed Buddhism.

Since Emperor Taizong founded the country, the royal family has always put Taoism first and Buddhism second. Many members of the royal family have become monks and received Taoist ordination.

However, Taoism pursues immortality through cinnabar and mercury, and all of them are worth a fortune, making them out of reach for the poor.

On the contrary, Buddhism teaches that everyone can become a Buddha, which opens the door to convenience and has followers all over the world.

When the female protagonist Wu was in power, there were people from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism cheering for her. Even the Ming Cult, which was wiped out by Murong Bai some time ago, was actually a foreign religion. It took the opportunity to fabricate scriptures and mix into Buddhism to rise up.

This trend was not curbed even after Emperor Xuanzong restored order. Even after the three great masters of Tantric Buddhism ascended to high positions, the trend of flattery of Buddha became more and more serious among the people, and even the practice of destroying one's body to offer sacrifice to Buddha became popular.

They burned their heads and fingers, cut off their arms and bodies, took off their clothes and gave away their money, and imitated each other. The story of Nezha, the third prince, removing his bones to return to his father and removing his flesh to return to his mother began to spread widely at this time.

However, everything will decline when it reaches its peak. By the time of Emperor Wuzong, chaos had already occurred in the feudal lords, and the national treasury was empty and had nothing to spend.

The sage emperor was furious and launched a campaign to destroy Buddhism in the fifth year of Huichang. In a short period of time, the Three Treasures were destroyed, temples were destroyed, and golden bodies fell into dust.

It is said that those great battles caused mountains to collapse and rivers to flow backwards. Huge palm prints can still be seen on the ruins of some temples, like the abyss left by a falling meteor.

As Buddhism declined, a large number of martial arts traditions flowed into all directions. If we trace the origin of Zhang Lishi's famous Yaksha swordsmanship, it is likely related to this.

"Both Taoism and Buddhism talk about subduing demons. I wonder if those great sects that have been passed down for hundreds of years also have methods to suppress evil spirits?"

"Otherwise, if even the Golden Immortal Buddha and his disciples are human-faced but demonic, then this world would be too ridiculous."

Li Cunxiao flipped through the pages of the book. The more he read, the more he felt that under this declining dynasty, there were countless undercurrents lurking.

When a dynasty falls, I'm afraid that besides demons, demons among humans will also wreak havoc on the common people. The tragedy of cannibalism is imminent, and no one can escape the turbid current.
A few more days passed, and thanks to Li Cunxiao's efforts, the golden light on the vajra was about to be full, and his tiger demon visualization method was also very proficient. Even after taking the tiger insect to enter the state of visualization, he could control the manic blood.

At this moment, the Feihu Escort Agency received good news that made everyone excited.

Zhang Yuelu, the third wife of the chief escort leader, was promoted to the second level of muscle.

　Friends, this book has been recommended for the third round. Thank you very much for your support!
　　If possible, please continue to read and vote. I can't count on Sanjiang, but I can still strive for the fourth round of recommendations. The author's manuscripts are not few at present. I will try to sell 10,000 yuan a day after the release, so that everyone can enjoy it!
　　In addition, updating one chapter per day seems to affect exposure a bit. In order to get recommendations, I will resume updating two chapters at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. starting tomorrow. It’s still no less than 4,000 chapters per day.

　　Although the recommendation period is short, the glory will last forever. I, Old Cat, will never enjoy this glory alone. Loyalty! Sincerity!
