Chapter 85 The strange fruit on the banyan branch
“Ahhhhhh...”
The thousand-year-old dolphin ghost let out a shrill scream.
It’s not all because of weak resentment, the ghost itself is also becoming unstable.
Shen Lian endured the pain of twisting his neck and noticed that the surface of the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost's skin inexplicably revealed a large number of purple scratches.
The thousand-year-old dolphin ghost moved uncontrollably in the direction of Gao Laozhuang.
Shen Lian frowned slightly.
If nothing unexpected happens, once Gaofu is completely razed to the ground, the Millennium Dolphin Demon will be pulled back to the depths of Gaolaozhuang. This shows that the Cave Mansion restrains the big demons in it.
“Wait.”
“Isn’t it possible that someone is deliberately trying to release the ghosts in Gao Laozhuang? For example, those alchemists who think they are descendants of the Immortal Family.”
"Sooner or later Gao Laozhuang will be in big trouble."
Ka.
Shen Lian's cervical vertebrae were completely broken. Although there were muscles and meridians that firmly fixed his head, there was always an illusion that his hands and brain were not coordinated.
The ground spell lights up.
When the magic circle is activated, dense insects emerge from the soil.
Swarms of insects swarm into the air overwhelmingly, and even if an individual is vulnerable, they can continue to consume the thousand-year-old dolphin ghosts.
“There is indeed a inheritance in the cave, and there is something about Hu Zhanfu’s magic circle.”
If Hu Zhanfu had not been trapped in the Sixth Realm of Yuandan, Qianhu, who had already been promoted to the Jinwu Guard, would have faced the temptation of ghosts. The experience is beyond ordinary.
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, please save me..."
The thousand-year-old dolphin ghost is wailing and resentful, with saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Shen Lian could only feel that the eyes of the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost were getting hotter and hotter. They had changed from admiration to greed, which in disguise made the feeling of fullness in his stomach even worse.
[Consumption of dolphin and pork will increase the experience of giant food by 0.03%]
"While the ghost has not disappeared, see if you can cut off the ghost head on your neck."
Boom.
Shen Lian used his legs to reach the midair. After approaching the Millennium Dolphin Ghost, the force coming from his neck became stronger and stronger, and his flesh and blood were about to be torn apart.
"If you don't want to see it, don't see it."
"Anyway, if I touch you, you won't be safe today."
Shen Lian closed his eyes and lost his vision as a thousand-year-old dolphin ghost At that moment, I suddenly felt a pair of cold and piercing hands on my neck.
The nails penetrated the flesh.
锵.
Unsheath the sword.
The bone blade was cut into nothing, but the arm at the neck was still there.
Shen Lian couldn't help but open his eyes. The Millennium Dolphin Ghost stayed in place motionless, but there were deep wounds on his neck that were visible to the bone.
“How evil.”
Shen Lian sneered and stroked the blade gently, and the sound of flesh and blood squirming came from the bone blade.
A moment later, the bone blade had been lengthened to nearly three meters. While swallowing the power, the crack on the surface of the blade that looked like a mouth spit out a bright light.
"Come!!!"
After landing on the ground, Shen Lian bent his knees and rose into the sky with force, slashing with his sword.
He was not focused on anything else. The white bones of his spine wrapped around his neck to fix his head. He focused on the knife in front of him and drained 80% of the energy from his dantian.
Obviously the clouds cover the moon, but there is a dazzling light standing in the sky.
Everyone swallowed.
They can sense the sword's light. Even if they don't witness it with their own eyes, they know that it is the sword that reaches the pinnacle among warriors.
"Lang...ahhhh!!!"
The roar of the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost was deafening.
The broken palm fell outside Gao Mansion, with resentment lingering in it, leaving a faint sense of consciousness.
Shen Lian knew how tricky he was, but he still couldn't help but speak.
"Thousand-year-old demon, that's it?"
He scanned the prompts on the career panel.
[Gao Xiuyu's identification failed, court experience +0.18%]
Shen Lian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the bone blade, as a fundamental object, could display his wisdom even if the blade came into contact with ghosts. This knife, Cut off at least fifty years of the other party's Taoism.
"Gao Xiuyu? The specific name of Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law is unclear, but it does seem to be mentioned in the original work. It seems...Second Sister Mao, or Gao Cuilan."
Behead again!
The thousand-year-old pig ghost covered his right hand, and in an instant his love disappeared. Only half of the protruding pig nose on his face was left, and blood was flowing.
Shen Lian didn't have time to think about it, his bones and spine tightened, and the force acting on his neck increased greatly, but the scratches on the ghost's surface also deepened.
“My bones are strong enough anyway, it just depends on whether your skin can withstand being chopped.”
The bone blade let out an excited roar.
Shen Lian kept swinging the sword, and before he knew it, he had perfected the horizontal sword style, and the Qingfeng sword technique also improved rapidly in actual combat.
"Imagine that there is a female ghost who is thinking about you. I will have trouble sleeping and eating if I don't kill you."
Shen Lian is completely exchanging injuries for injuries. Anyway, he has the nemesis of ghosts, the wise eye. With his magical power, as long as he takes a small injury, the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost will be knocked back to its original shape.
Everyone watched the two through the reflected shadows from the corner of their eyes.
Even though Hu Zhanfu kept repeating that Zhong Kui was a warrior, they really couldn't accept the truth that a warrior could defeat a thousand-year-old demon.
Only the alchemist can carry the taboo of the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost.
They would rather believe that it is some kind of secret skill than dare to think that there are warriors in the world whose physical strength can rival that of demons.
Some Jin Wuwei wanted to quit, but the result was that he only restrained his internal strength to maintain the magic circle.
The light of the knife scraped across his scalp, chipping off a piece of his skull.
He didn't dare to neglect, he took out the big medicine and swallowed it to replenish the lost internal strength, and faithfully assisted Shen Lian in dealing with the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost.
"About to fall below the thousand-year mark!"
Shen Lian's chest rose and fell violently. Even if he had the insight to dispel the resentment that entered his body, the recovery speed of his injuries could no longer keep up.
The Millennium Dolphin Ghost becomes unstable and must be distracted to resist Gao Laozhuang's repulsive force.
The power of taboos is getting weaker and weaker.
Shen Lian seized the opportunity and pierced the abdomen of the thousand-year-old dolphin ghost directly with the bone blade. Not only was the weapon sucking the blood of the ghost, but he also used his wisdom eye continuously.
Seeing that the ghost’s Taoism has reached the 900-year level. Shen Lian was ready to cut through the mess quickly.
At this time.
Swish, swish, swish.
Iron hooks appeared out of thin air and hung on the back of the Millennium Dolphin Ghost. The other end seemed to be connected to the direction of Gao Laozhuang and was slowly withdrawn.
"Death!!!"
Shen Lian used the bone stirring blade to pull out the ghost's internal organs, and the blade pointed directly at the brain.
The Thousand-Year-Old Dolphin Ghost was so distraught that he disappeared instantly.
It was empty outside the South City Gate.
Shen Lian's face was solemn.
If he read it correctly, the iron hook did not exude a demonic aura, but more like a superior multiplier driven by internal force.
Obviously, as expected, the cause of the tailor ghost riot was definitely planned by the alchemists of Gao Laozhuang.
"I have been busy all night, I will remember you."
Shen Lian returned his sword to its sheath and no longer maintained his four-meter-long body.
The superimposed special state of the copper body requires a lot of energy at all times, all relying on Gaofu energy to continuously replenish nutrients.
"Haha, in a few hundred years, I will kill Gao Laozhuang and eat you all."
Shen Lian dodged a few times and collected the remains of the ghost into the core, and drank to suppress it. He was furious, then cursed and returned to the pawn shop.
Well, at least I can get some sleep.
The rest of the Jinwu Guards had exhausted all their internal strength and fell to the ground gasping for breath. They had witnessed an unforgettable scene tonight.
Shen Lian shuttled around the top of the eaves, secretly taking stock of what he had gained during his trip.
“Four corpses of Taoist ghosts that are over 500 years old, some stumps of thousand-year-old dolphin ghosts, and Hu Zhanfu are also fully loaded...”
[Gao Xiuyu’s identification was successful, and the Nine Qi Land Experience +4.13%]
[Gao Xiuyu]
[She was more than 16 months old when she died. Her body was born with a peculiar and serious body, with a pig head and human body, but she was the most human-like Miss Gao in the contemporary era. . 】
[Nine Qi Earth Disgust reached 40.21%, martial arts points +4]
“Huh?”
“Ah?!”
Shen Lian stood in front of the pawn shop , shook his head dumbfounded and said to himself: "What a great Lord Voldemort, Ah Lian is really convinced."
Bago did not show up during the whole process, but he still deserves the greatest credit.
"But..."
The amount of information obtained through the appraisal was difficult for Shen Lian to digest. Combined with the weird temple fair customs displayed by the Gao Mansion, he felt that the real situation in Gao Laozhuang might have completely collapsed.
While thinking, Shen Lian threw the body into the banyan tree cave.
Hu Zhanfu didn't find any magic weapon similar to a storage bag on him. The fur was pretty good, but he didn't know how to refine weapons.
[Absorb the needlework ghost, gain +7.89% experience of the corpse-seeking Taoist priest]
[Zombie Taoist Master reaches 77.03%, martial arts points +2]
Shen Lian looked surprised. It seems that the banyan tree has been taking advantage of the chaos to absorb the resentment of the Gaofu. When all the ghost corpses are digested, he should be promoted.
“Ah~”
Myna arrived late.
It deliberately stood in front of Shen Lian, proudly waiting for the latter's reward.
"Master Ba, you are really capable of killing demons. Let's go together to the ghost market auction in mid-June. It is said to be held on the third floor of the ghost market. It will be full of demons. By then..."
One person A bird gave a creepy laugh.
After Shen Lian fed and drank enough myna, he lay on his back under the banyan tree and rested.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The tailor case has come to an end. Although Gao Laozhuang will inevitably be troubled by demons as long as it exists for one day, at least it can lead a peaceful life.
"Anyway, there are only a few sword and palm skills that need to be practiced. Then just lie down at home."
Shen Lian licked his lips and stared at the flower bones on the branches of the banyan tree.
“Four six-consciousness fruits.”
“Thirteen elixir fruits that nourish the soul, bred from the flesh and blood of tailor ghosts.”
“One shaped like a fox head Dan fruit is a gift from nature.”
"Huh?"
Shen Lian looked puzzled, and suddenly found a very strange pill fruit mixed on the branch, which was in the form of a cube with doorway patterns on all six sides.
"This is... the elixirs bred in the high mansion. Can buildings also breed elixirs?"
Plop.
The Gaofu Danguo fell to the ground and took root the moment it touched the soil.
………
Gao Laozhuang.
The appearance of Yongcui Street is unremarkable, it is an old street, but due to the thick fog that has been shrouded all year round, it looks blurry.
You can barely see that a total of sixteen shops are neatly lined up on both sides of the street.
There were candlelights swaying in some shops, shouts coming from some shops, and the smell of blood filled the air in some shops...
As the tailor shop on No. 6, it seems to be the only one with human activities, especially in the lobby on the ground floor of the shop, where there are seven or eight Jinwu guards.
They are all important figures in at least a hundred households in the imperial court, and now they are huddled together in frustration.
"Master Zuo, come and take a look."
A hundred households called Zuo Yan, who came to the window with a frown.
“There’s something strange about that new pawn shop.”
Zuo Yan glanced at the pawn shop, his eyes showing disbelief.
The doors and windows of the pawn shop have been closed. They have tried to open them, but unfortunately everything in Gaolaozhuang is indestructible.
The courtyard is undefended, but it cannot be used as a temporary stronghold.
Now...
Zuo Yan was shocked to notice that at some point, a banyan tree suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the pawn shop, its green branches and leaves swaying in the wind.
