Chapter 80: The Thousand-Year-Old Female Ghost on a Blind Date in Yanliang Town
“Of course, the caves should not be all filled with unparalleled monsters from the Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Dilemma. There are always ordinary thousand-year-old monsters occupying the hills, which should be the same in the eyes of the imperial court. It’s a cave.”
Shen Lian sighed, feeling that the location of Yanliang Town was really unlucky.
It is very close to Gao Laozhuang, and at the same time, the underground river is connected to Bibo Pond. The two caves are constantly producing demons in large quantities.
"Perhaps the only advantage is that the experience of the corpse hunter has reached 30%. After the tailor case is over, there may be a chance to be promoted."
Shen Lian suppressed distracting thoughts.
Since no trace of the demon can be found, focus on practicing the pile method.
The fermentation of the temple fair was slower than expected. There was almost no movement in the next five days, except for the decoration in the city.
Jinwuwei tried various methods to attract ghosts, but to no avail.
They seemed to be wasting their efforts on a non-existent thing, and there was no good news from Gao Laozhuang.
Shen Lian remained unchanged in response to all changes, staying at the pawn shop and never going out.
He hugged the bone blade, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact, the power was constantly flowing through the corpse demon scabbard, and he could feel the power integrating into the magical weapon.
The Corpse Demon Scabbard is different from the fruit core. It has the possibility of being promoted to a mid-to-high-level multiplier, but it only requires a long period of time and water to cultivate.
Shen Lian discovered that warming the magic weapon does not affect the pile technique, and can also increase the strength.
Since the old man recovered, he has been lacking a channel to consume his energy. While the Corpse Demon Scabbard fills the gap, he can even have half a day more free time to practice his fighting skills.
Shen Lian's idea of adding some horizontal sword techniques is indeed feasible. After mastering the Dacheng sword technique, mastering the Qingfeng sword technique becomes a matter of course.
Not to mention palm skills.
The palm technique [Luoquan Palm] gifted by Zhu Yihong, because its true meaning matches the Tide Fist technique, it did not take long to achieve a small success.
The smoothness of Shen Lian's cultivation did not diminish the sense of urgency.
There is an undercurrent in Yanliang Town.
Everyone is talking about the temple fair, but the so-called temple fair has yet to be seen.
Even late at night, Shen Lian did not rest, but instead practiced meditation, driving the pile technique to impact Xiaocheng's level.
"Huhuhuhu."
The breath and the sound of the wind are mixed together.
Unknowingly.
Shen Lian fell into a daze, his consciousness immersed in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.
…………
The waning moon above the head was obscured by clouds, and the lights in Yanliang Town had long been dimmed. Only the government officials were still patrolling the streets and alleys.
“In Yuelao Temple, a beautiful couple makes a wish together to bring about a happy marriage.”
“The husband and wife ceremony involves holding red silk flowers and bowing to the bridal chamber four times.”
The yamen servant heard the inexplicable sound of singing, as if something happy was being planned, but it was already midnight.
“Something’s wrong, Lord Jin Wuwei must be informed as soon as possible.”
Plop.
The yamen servant’s legs weakened and he fell to the ground. Because his head hit the wall, there was a cut on his forehead, and blood immediately oozed out.
Not only did he not react at all, but snoring started to sound from his mouth and nose.
Just a moment.
The yamen servant closed his eyes and climbed up quietly, walking slowly towards the gate of Nancheng, his consciousness still sleeping soundly, as if he was sleepwalking.
People are walking out of the residential area one after another, all of them walking while sleeping soundly.
At least two to three hundred people.
More than a dozen Jinwu guards followed the crowd closely. They all came from Daqicang Mountain, and used various means to secretly explore whether there were any opportunities.
To them, mortal deaths and injuries do not matter.
The most important thing is whether you can get benefits from the tailoring case.
Breaking through the six realms of Yuan Dan requires resources, and promotion to a hundred households requires merit. If you don't strive for it, you will die in a cave sooner or later.
It can only be said that if the extremely terrifying Zhong Kui had not frightened the Jinwu Guards, their behavior would have been even more unscrupulous.
Zhong Kui is like a sharp sword hanging above Jin Wuwei's head.
As a result, in recent days, their small actions have been limited to blood sacrifices of a few livestock, and even buying and selling livestock cost far more money than the market value.
“Damn, something is going to happen.”
Wang Xin’s face was solemn, and he witnessed the strange things in the city from the roof of the Yamen.
Li Shun shook his head and said: "At present, we can't see anything in common between the evil people. It seems that a resentment invaded Niwan Palace out of thin air."
"Is your life safe?"
"It's okay. Resentment only controls their behavior. I have asked Wu Anyun to try to get rid of the resentment and see if it can be awakened."
While the two were talking, the crowd had arrived at the open space outside the city gate.
Hundreds of people actually cooperated with each other to cut down trees, and a group of people sleepwalked and sent tools for carpenters and masonry workers.
The mansion was built bit by bit from scratch.
Resentment gathered towards the mansion, and the newly painted brick walls were stained with mildew.
"Once the mansion takes shape, I'm afraid a demon with profound knowledge will show up."
Wang Xin took a breath.
Monsters that are seven or eight hundred years old are very troublesome. If another thousand-year-old demon comes, I don’t know how many people will die in the entire Yanliang Town.
"I have contacted the court and heard that it was Hu Baihu who came to Yanliang Town on his own initiative."
"Hu Zhanfu, he almost became an alchemist back then. I heard that he could use some of the alchemist's methods. The imperial court asked him to sit in Gaojia Town to refine the magic talisman, why take the risk himself?”
"What do you think? Two of his disciples just died in Yanliang Town not long ago."
Wang Xinxin still had something he had not said. It was not a pity for Qin Hong and Qin Hong to die. After all, he almost killed them. In the Bibo Building.
Li Shun looked around, "By the way, where is Zhu Yihong?"
"I asked her to go to Xicheng District."
......Zhu Yihong hurriedly came to the pawn shop OK.
The courtyard was breathing like a drum.
Although everyone thought Shen Lian was an alchemist, she always felt that Shen Lian was more like a warrior.
Zhu Yihong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Shen Lian must not let resentment affect your mind."
In a sense, the possessed Shen Lian is far beyond the ordinary demons, so she gave All the tricks are to calm the mind.
Zhu Yihong opened the door and saw Shen Lian under the banyan tree at a glance.
Shen Lian closed his eyes and crossed his legs, as if his actual strength was exposed, but only half a meter around his body, the air could not help but become distorted.
“Shen Lian.”
Zhu Yihong approached the banyan tree, and invisible oppression enveloped herself.
She noticed that although Shen Lian was not sleepwalking, his energy was running unconsciously, and his flesh and blood showed signs of losing control at any time.
Shen Lian opened his eyes suddenly.
Zhu Yihong looked like he had fallen into an ice cave. The courtyard seemed to be piled up with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. There was laughter coming from the shadows in the corner, and the banyan trees were twisted and hideous...
"Master Zhu, is Yanliang Town the right place? Something bad has happened."
Zhu Yihong came back to his senses and said with a pale face: "Hundreds of people are obsessed with it and are gathering outside the city to build a mansion."
Shen Lian frowned and said. Use your own eyes to show your wisdom.
[Identification completed, Nine Qi Earthly Disgust turned out to be +0.02]
"There is really resentment entering the body."
Shen Lian had a lot of thoughts, and vaguely remembered a dream he had while half asleep and half awake. A strange and inexplicable wedding reception.
The guests were exchanging cups and cups, and the body of a woman in wedding dress was hanging from the beam.
However, the specific details have long been blurred. Shen Lian does not know whether the female corpse is Miss Gao who married Zhu Bajie.
"The ghost in the tailor shop can attract the thousand-year-old demon through some means. Sooner or later, the corpse of the married woman will come to the mansion outside the city."
Zhu Yihong said hesitantly: "Be careful, the tailor case will be taken over by Hu Zhanfu and Hu Baihu. He...majored in the Jade Face Sutra."
Thinking of the human skin inside the fruit core, Shen Lian couldn't help but ask, "Hu Zhanfu is an alchemist?"
"Not entirely, but it was said that in his early years. Received part of the alchemist's inheritance."
"Understood."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that Hu Zhanfu came for him.
Not an alchemist? Then kill him! ! !
"Sir Zhu, I would like to ask you to buy a few books on Heng Lian Martial Arts. Even if they are average or inferior, it doesn't matter."
"I will help you pay attention to them."
Zhu Yihong said softly: "The ghost market holds an auction in mid-June every year. There are many secrets, but it is very dangerous."
"Auction?"
"Well, it's on the third floor of the ghost market, an auction only for demons.
"Once we living people participate, we will become the auction items inside, but Jin Wuwei often gained a lot from this. "
"Can you tell me more specifically? "
"I'm not sure how someone from the Five Innate Realms can qualify to go to the third floor of the Ghost City. ”
The sun is rising in the sky, and the mansion has taken shape.
The possessed people have returned to Yanliang Town one after another, their grievances gradually dissipated, and they have no memory of their busy work last night.
Zhu Yihong said goodbye and left.
Shen Lian watched Zhu Yihong see off, then without hesitation he called up the career panel and put points into the two first glimpses of pile techniques.
"The strength is too lacking. It is not like the internal power of a demon. It can provide significant protection. I almost got a ghost in my sleep."
[Whether it takes 2 points to be promoted to martial arts: Qingsong Zhuang (small success)]
[Whether it is necessary to spend 2 points to be promoted to martial arts: water-covering stake (small success)]
"Confirm."
The two forces surged and circulated throughout the body along the meridians. As a result, Qi and blood were lost rapidly, and the two fish fruits were barely enough to consume.
[Whether to consume 5 points to advance to martial arts: Qingsong Zhuang (Dacheng)]
[Whether to spend 5 points to advance to martial arts: Water Covering Pile (Dacheng)]
"Confirmed."
The strength will be absorbed by all rivers and return to the Dantian. The investment of 14 points will have an immediate effect, and together with the second in the tongue root period All the meridians are connected.
Shen Lian did not directly advance to Perfection to see if he could break through on his own.
【Points: 41】
"Fortunately, I have enough points, otherwise I would have to go back to before liberation."
Shen Lian seizes the time to continue practicing, hoping to transform his pile skills as soon as possible before the so-called temple fair breaks out.
The improvement brought by further pile training is not necessarily less than that of horizontal training.
The pile method is associated with specificity.
Shen Lian's current special ability is that the scales cover his whole body. As his training becomes more and more intense, the defense of the scales is gradually becoming useless.
"Special transformation is also about stacking armor. The prerequisite for dealing with thousand-year-old monsters is that the armor is thick enough."
Shen Lian did not dare to neglect, and always maintained the practice of Zhuan Dharma.
The mansion outside the city is becoming more and more complete, and hundreds of people go to build it every night. When they wake up, they will inevitably have backaches.
And there is residual resentment in Niwan Palace. Although it will not affect the soul, it may lead to stubborn diseases when the Qi and blood decline.
The pawn shop is naturally peaceful.
Shen Lian noticed that Bai Haibo and others had resentment entering their bodies, and immediately used his wisdom eyes to get rid of it.
It took three days to build the mansion. In front of the door is a plaque with the word "Gaofu" engraved on it. Along with the fiery red decorations that resemble a wedding banquet, it looks extremely abrupt outside the empty city.
