I can't be a demon

Tian Xian took a breath.

He went back and forth to Yongcui Street many times. If he admitted correctly, this ghost should have been the thousand-year-old demon in the tailor shop!

Bang.

Shen Lian closed the door and completely cut off Tian Xian's thoughts of escaping. The latter realized that the so-called pawn shop was far more dangerous than an ordinary shop.

Before Tian Xian could calm down, Ghost Dad appeared by the aisle.

"A Lian."

"Old man, the owner of the coffin shop asked you to prepare ten pieces of five-hundred-year-old gloomy wood."

"good."

Ghost Dad noticed Tian Xian, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed. His resentment was obviously intensifying, and Tian Xian turned pale with fear.

Shen Lian explained: "Old man, he is Tian Xian, my senior brother from the same martial arts school. I took care of him a lot before and came to stay at home for a few days."

"good."

The ghost father nodded, looked at Tian Xian and said, "His energy and blood look bad, is it because his body is deficient?"

"puff."

Tian Xian vomited blood.

The moment the ghost father finished speaking, he felt that his energy and blood were rapidly draining, and his internal strength was unable to make any resistance.

"No, he just...is a little uncomfortable with the environment on Yongcui Street."

After Shen Lian explained, Tian Xian's injury did not continue to worsen.

Tian Xian was trembling with fear.

"I see. Ah Lian, please take him to the wing in the northwest corner of the second floor to rest. It's closer to the window and has better ventilation."

Tian Xian couldn't help but regret. He had known earlier that he should return to the tailor shop. He might have been able to escape by luck, but now he was afraid that he would suffer.

Shen Lian took Tian Xian to the second floor. The latter walked lightly and did not dare to make a sound.

What surprised him was that the decoration in the wing was ordinary. He thought it would be filled with unspeakable horrors and taboos.

"The wing...is okay."

"As long as you are satisfied." Shen Lian patted Tian Xian on the shoulder, "I think I can see the clues. I am not a demon, I just came to Gao Laozhuang by chance."

Tian Xian couldn't help but mutter in his heart, yes, you are not a monster. The monsters you encounter along the way on Yongcui Street are just your beloved relatives and friends.

"As soon as the wedding in Gaofu is over, I can personally take you away from Gao Laozhuang. Brother Tian, ​​I wonder how much you know about Gaofu?"

Tian Xian asked cautiously: "Do you want to worship in the cave?"

"You think it's somewhat possible."

Tian Xian hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "It is said that every marriage to the Gaofu family is different, but generally speaking, it is just one word, food."

"The Jinwu guards who participated in the banquet were generally obsessed with it, and the more serious the peculiarity, the harder it is for the young ladies to take notice."

Tian Xian thought about Shen Lian's ability to move freely, swallowed his saliva and added: "With your strength, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Ying Zhenjun, do you know who Zhenjun refers to?"

"Not sure."

Tian Xian smiled bitterly and said: "I am only at the Yuan Dan level. I was responsible for assisting in the two previous trips to Gao Laozhuang. How can I have the chance to get married to Gao Mansion, let alone the true king."

"It's just...I heard a theory."

"What statement?"

"The true king is born every twenty years. The reason why Mr. Gao holds the wedding is mainly to choose a wife for the true king."

"The number of disciples of the Xian family that Jin Wuwei is competing for is the husband-in-law of the other Miss Gao."

The corner of Shen Lian's mouth twitched. According to Gao Xiuyu's information, Miss Gao was not human.

【Gao Xiuyu】

[She was more than sixteen months old when she died. Her body was born with a peculiar and serious body, with the head of a pig and body, but she was the most human-like Miss Gao in the contemporary era. 】

Shen Lian suppressed his distracting thoughts, feeling that the true king mentioned by Tian Xian was not Zhu Bajie.

"Speaking of which, since the so-called True Lord comes every twenty years, wouldn't there be groups of True Lords in Gaolaozhuang?"

"Not advent, but birth."

Tian Xian explained with a strange expression: "My master died early. I just heard him mention by chance that the True Lord seems to be...not a monster, so the True Lord's lifespan is limited."

In his impression, when his master mentioned the True Monarch, his face was full of reverence, but mixed with disdain, as if he looked down upon Gao Laozhuang's behavior.

Shen Lian fell into a sluggish state, with a massive amount of information rushing through his mind.

The content of the original Journey to the West that I read in my previous life seemed to suddenly emerge, and it was subtly related to the collapsed world of Journey to the West.

He knew the truth about Gao Laozhuang.

"Zhu Bajie is dead."

Chapter 101 Zhu Bajie’s three special professions

Shen Lian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

His conjecture is not unfounded. There are clues everywhere indicating that the real situation may be so absurd and dark.

Before Tang Monk left for the west, the three disciples were each waiting for the arrival of the Buddhist pilgrims.

But their experiences were different.

Sun Wukong's character was difficult to control, so Tathagata Buddha suppressed him at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, waiting for Tang Monk to arrive and give him the tightening curse.

Sha Seng was the exact opposite. He was banished to the Liusha River and left alone.

Perhaps because Sha Seng has no ability to influence the upper world, he behaves most like a demon and even ate Tang Seng for nine lifetimes, yet he lived happily.

Zhu Bajie is somewhere in between.

Marshal Tianpeng was accidentally thrown into a pig fetus, and he managed to live a peaceful life. He and the demon [Er Sister Egg] lived in Yunzhan Cave as husband and wife.

After that, Sister Egg died, and Zhu Bajie just stayed in Yunzhan Cave and lived by eating people.

Shen Lian felt outrageous when he thought about it.

Guanyin Bodhisattva left Sha Monk alone and actually came down to earth to take refuge in Zhu Bajie. At that time, Zhu Bajie did far less harm than Sha Monk.

After Zhu Bajie accepted Guanyin Bodhisattva's conversion, he was given the Buddhist name Wuneng, and he really lost his demonic nature. He worked in Gao Laozhuang from morning till night every day, and was willing to plow the fields for the cows.

If it weren't for Tang Monk's arrival, Zhu Bajie would be a role model among the sons-in-law of Gao Laozhuang.

"Tang Monk disappeared just after leaving the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Bajie couldn't wait for the pilgrims, and was trapped in Gao Laozhuang because of Guanyin Bodhisattva's constraints."

"The plot began to collapse from then on."

"Without Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie would have been inevitable to marry into Gao Laozhuang, and because of Guanyin Bodhisattva's conversion, he had already gotten rid of his demon body."

Shen Lian swallowed his saliva and looked at the pavilions and towers looming outside the window.

"Zhu Bajie is not a demon, nor does he have a status as an immortal or a Buddha. No matter how he practices, he cannot achieve immortality."

"I'm sure of that."

"Zhu Bajie is dead!!!"

At this moment, Tian Xian looked at the end of the street and reminded him, "Look, the welcoming ceremony of the True Lord in Gao Village has already begun."

It seemed to be a street separated from Yongcui Street, where a dozen children were playing.

It was covered by thick fog, and Shen Lian could not see clearly. He only knew that the children had empty necks and were playing with lanterns shaped like pig heads.

The childish voice of the child echoed.

"Marshal Tianpeng has three heads and six arms, with one hand forming the Tianpeng seal and the other hand shaking the emperor bell..."

As the child laughed, the pig-headed lantern in his hand became hideous and terrifying, somewhat similar to the True Lord Tianpeng in the temple in his previous life.

The expression was three-tenths human, three-tenths demonic, and the remaining four-tenths resentful of being unable to survive.

"Hehehe..."

The child put the pig-head lantern on his neck and pretended to be Tianpeng Zhenjun who was immersed in the thick fog.

Tian Xian explained: "Once Ying Zhenjun comes, there will be a large number of strange pig ghosts in Gao Laozhuang, but the strange thing is that the pig ghosts will not attack us Tianpeng Sutra monks."

"Within three days, those Tianpeng Sutra monks who are fighting for opportunities will come."

Tian Xian didn't know if it was an illusion, but he saw a trace of pity on Shen Lian's face, which was pity for the ghosts all over Gao Laozhuang.

"Death is not liberation. Before Tang Seng completes his journey to the west to obtain scriptures, the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties will only continue according to inertia."

After Zhu Bajie died, "Zhenjun" would be born continuously among his descendants.

The origin of Ying Zhenjun is here.

As for the twenty-year interval, it must be related to the life span of Zhenjun. Under normal circumstances, the life span of pigs is about twenty years.

No wonder Gao Laozhuang is full of ghosts, not monsters.
