I can't be a demon

Chapter 147 Tang Monk can be seen everywhere

The morning light was dim.

The mountain breeze carried the chill of early winter, and seven or eight carriages drove along the official road to Nujiang Town.

The body of the carriage depicted the unique beast pattern of the Jinwu Guard, which was a two-headed mountain king crawling on the ground, and a talisman for detecting the breath of demons was affixed.

There were nearly a hundred people, including three people from ten households and one person from the hundred households.

The rest were all reserves of the Jinwu Guard.

It can be seen that they seemed to be very careful, because it was not yet bright, and someone was holding a torch to illuminate the shadows along the road.

The hundred households [Yuan Chaozhong] had a solemn face, and his exposed skin looked like fish skin.

"Master Yuan, we are still fifty miles away from Nujiang River. We haven't seen any signs of demons for the time being, so there should be no danger."

"Don't be careless."

Yuan Chaozhong shook his head and added: "We are temporarily transferred to Nujiang River. On the one hand, the reserve forces need to use the rising tide of Nujiang River to enter the inner strength..."

The reserve forces have the qualifications for inner strength, but they have not yet entered the inner strength.

The conditions for practicing inner strength are varied, just like the corpse-transforming sutra sealed in the coffin, and Hongzhou has more rivers, so the Jinwu Guard mainly uses the [Inspiration Sutra].

The peerless demon at the source of the Inspiration Sutra is a goldfish demon named Inspiration King.

Yuan Chaozhong paused for half a breath, "On the other hand, a Wanhu has been ordered to investigate the Nujiang case, and you and I must cooperate."

"Nujiang case? It's been decades, and the previous two Wanhu have returned without success."

"Shut up."

Yuan Chaozhong said in a deep voice: "Although it is not clear which Wanhu Lord is here, it is definitely not something you and I can talk about."

"The Nujiang case involves a lot, hey."

The reserve forces looked at each other.

Many of them were born as strongmen and had never seen Wan Hu.

I heard that Wan Hu's magical powers were enough to be called a land immortal! And each of them was a country guardian in his 300 or 400 years old.

"Huh?"

Yuan Chaozhong's consciousness suddenly trembled, and then he left the team and looked back.

"Sir Yuan, is there a demon?"

"It shouldn't be, just a warrior who happened to be on the same road."

Yuan Chaozhong breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw a thin man following slowly a thousand meters away.

The man was wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. There was a three-foot Tang sword on his waist, which was indeed the dress of an ordinary person in the martial arts world.

He took a sip of wine from time to time, and a sleepy crow rested on his shoulder.

A Jinwu Guard couldn't help but say: "Sir Yuan, the monsters in the Nujiang area like to disguise themselves as mortals. Could it be a monster?"

After this, the other reserve forces became nervous.

Yuan Chaozhong shook his head and responded: "The blood and qi are not obvious, but he is a practitioner in the fourth stage of foundation building. It's okay to let him go with us."

He looked strange.

The main thing is that the man showed a comfortable feeling. It didn't seem like he was in the wilderness at all. Instead, he felt a bit like a wandering scholar taking a walk.

"Let's go as soon as possible. After all, there are a lot of reserve troops. I'm afraid that monsters will be attracted."

"Yes."

The long whip flicked, and the horses panted and strode away.

Half a day later, they vaguely heard the sound of surging water, and they were immediately refreshed, and their internal strength became active.

"Stop!"

Yuan Chaozhong noticed something was wrong and raised his hand to stop the caravan.

He noticed a series of footprints on the ground not far away. At first glance, they were left by straw sandals, but there were a few tufts of yellowish animal hair in the soil.

"Come on, the closer you get to the town, the more careful you have to be!"

"Yuan... Lord Yuan, the talisman is self-igniting!"

The reserve pointed nervously at the bushes, and Yuan Chaozhong's pupils shrank slightly.

It was pitch black in the bushes, but there stood a 1.23-meter-tall strange man.

The strange man was obviously a monster, with a crooked head and indescribable facial features. There were six scars on his smooth head.

"Official...official, hehe, do you think I look like a human?"

The monster grinned, revealing sharp teeth with a little blood stain.

"Bold monster!"

Yuan Chaozhong's pupils shrank when he saw the monster's appearance. He drew the sword at his waist without hesitation, and his internal force surged. Fish scales covered the blade, and at the same time, organs similar to fish gills grew on his neck.

Everyone retreated to the carriage, and the ten households guarded them and waited for them.

"A little monster with forty or fifty years of Taoism."

"But the monsters in Nujiang are really fucking weird. They all have the same face."

Yuan Chaozhong signaled two ten households to encircle the monster, and he came within half a meter of the monster, opened his mouth and spit out a scale, and slashed the latter with the blade.

The scale pierced the monster's arm, and the two ten households prevented the monster from escaping.

A man and a demon crossed each other, and the demon's back was exposed to everyone's eyes.

It can be seen that the demon's hands, feet and head are only humanoid. Under the tattered clothes is a body covered with animal hair, clearly a weasel.

"Die!"

Yuan Chaozhong was prepared, and the demon-subduing talisman was pasted on the demon's forehead.

He resisted the erosion of the demon's energy, and cut off the demon's head with a knife, which was 70% similar to the monk's head.

"Hu, get rid of the remaining demon energy, and get away as soon as possible..."

The words were not finished.

"Sir, what do you think of us?!!"

The bushes on all sides revealed pairs of red eyes, and the unique fishy smell of weasels spread. There were more than a dozen monsters.

"Get off the car, line up!!!"

Yuan Chaozhong cursed a few times, and everyone hurriedly held weapons, but the reserve who had never faced demons could not help but turn pale.

"Sir~"

The monster crawled out of the bushes.

There are more than a dozen weasel monsters with different abilities, but they all have the same lucky monk's face.

There was saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, and they were as cunning as ordinary people. The previous monster was obviously used to test Yuan Chaozhong's strength.

Realizing that he had swallowed a big fish, he couldn't wait to surround and suppress the crowd.

"Eating...eating them will make you...more like a human being."

The leading weasel has been practicing for a hundred years, and has no hair on his chest, and his appearance and body shape have become closer to that of a... monk.

The knuckles of Yuan Chaozhong's right hand that gripped the handle of the knife turned white.

He knew that he was probably going to have to explain here today that the monster with a hundred years of Taoism was extremely difficult to deal with. At the same time, because of his greedy nature, the weasel monster probably would not let everyone present.

"Listen."

"I'll try my best to entangle the century-old monsters and make them use rat weapons. When the time comes, you can break out in the direction of Nujiang Town, as many as you can."

"But……"

"Nothing but!"

Yuan Chaozhong's symptoms worsened all over his body, and fish-like films appeared on his five fingers.

"Beast! Come on!! Let me see how much you weigh!!!"

"Ah~ It's a cool autumn day~"

Myna flapped its wings and flew over, landing on a tree branch not far from Yuan Chaozhong, shaking its head playfully with its eyes.

I don’t know when.

The man who was suspected to be a martial artist had already arrived in the circle surrounded by monsters.

The smell of alcohol spread everywhere. It was obvious that the man was drunk and did not notice the monster in front of him, so he strayed into a dangerous situation.

"Damn it."

Yuan Chaozhong bit the tip of his tongue and was so stunned that the movement of his internal energy came to a halt. The century-old monster immediately noticed his fleeting flaw.

After all, I have been in office for thirty years, so how could I make a mistake by not caring about the beginning and the end?
