The mountains are continuous and the peaks are overlapping.

Chen Sheng and Xuan Zang looked as far as possible, but the lush green everywhere blocked their view.

In order to find the monster on the mountain, Chen Sheng and Xuanzang covered their heads with scarves and cut through the thorns, heading all the way up the mountain.

Compared to Chen Sheng, who was still pondering over the reason why demons did not hurt people, Xuanzang looked very excited, as if he was about to see the demon.

As the brightest star in Buddhism of this era, Xuanzang was not a pedantic monk.

He was able to make the decision to travel west, and he was not only more determined than anyone else, but also more courageous than anyone else to create new rules.

Xuanzang obeyed most of the Buddhist rules and regulations. After following the orders of his master Chen Sheng and fighting with giant beasts and bears, he not only spared their lives but also bandaged their wounds considerately.

However, he was highly conscious when it came to slaying demons and eliminating evil, and didn't care at all about the Buddhist rules and regulations that forbid killing.

"God is merciful? Then I will send them to have a chat with God."

These are the exact words Xuanzang once said to Chen Sheng.

Although Xuanzang, who was responsible for suppressing the wooden box every day, had never seen other demons, he could see the hateful nature of this group of demons just from the endless hostility of the demons in the wooden box.

In addition to the attitude towards demons.

During these five years, whenever Xuanzang encountered evil people who took advantage of the civil unrest to do evil, he would recite scriptures to persuade them without hesitation, and when that did not work, he would immediately and decisively use physical persuasion.

When encountering refugees and people in need of help, Xuanzang never hesitates to help.

In Chen Sheng's mind, Xuanzang, who has a clear distinction between love and hate, fits the image of a holy monk.

Watching Xuanzang's motivated look from a distance, Chen Sheng had no doubt that the next demon he encountered would be eaten alive by this guy in every possible way.

You should know that Xuanzang now has the power of the fifth-level spiritual practice system, and there are three demons in a wooden box at his disposal.

Although I probably still can't defeat the demon that is mutated from the monster's vitality, I think I can still give it a fight.

Just as the two were thinking about their own things, a melodious girl's singing came from the forest not far away.

"The green willows hang down to the ground~"

"The poplar flowers are flying all over the sky~"

"The willow branches are broken and the flowers are gone~"

"May I ask if the passerby is returning home..."

The sound was very pleasant, and it penetrated into the ears of Chen Sheng and Xuan Zang through the gaps in the woods.

Mr. Chen raised his eyebrows. He was not unfamiliar with this folk song.

This is a farewell poem from the Sui Dynasty, expressing a subtle and profound feeling of parting. In recent years, Chen Sheng has often heard this poem sung in various tunes on various occasions.

Willows are swaying and poplar catkins are fluttering, what a beautiful and romantic scene, but also filled with lingering sorrow and separation!

When the ancients parted, they would always give each other willow branches at the long pavilion as a gift, asking about when the other party would return, as there was no telling when the other party would return.

But at this moment, Mr. Chen had no time to appreciate it.

After all, the sudden appearance of a young girl's singing in the mountains at this moment was obviously a little bit wrong.

Mr. Chen and Xuanzang looked at each other and nodded.

Then, the two of them took slow and cautious steps, exploring and approaching the direction where the girl's singing came from.

As the two of them slowly approached.

The singing in my ears became clearer and clearer.

After they passed a few trees again, a young girl appeared in front of them.

The girl had a pretty face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, white teeth and red lips. She held a green sand pot in her left hand and a green porcelain bottle in her right hand.

It is simply: icy skin hides jade-like bones, and the collar of the shirt reveals the tenderness [ferocious].

Her eyebrows are as green as willow, and her almond eyes sparkle with silver stars.

Yueyang has a pretty appearance and a naturally pure personality.

Its body is like a swallow hiding in the willows, and its voice is like an oriole singing in the forest.

This is undoubtedly a great beauty.

Such a delicate and beautiful appearance made Xuanzang almost instantly feel that this was the demon that the villagers at the foot of the mountain feared.

Xuanzang naturally had no sympathy for this girl who was suspected to be a demon. He rushed forward waving the wooden box to test her.

Seeing Xuanzang's rude actions, the girl took a step back as if she was obviously frightened.

She raised her hands to cover her face, looking very pitiful.

Chen Sheng instantly grabbed Xuanzang who was about to rush out, and lifted him up like a chicken, preventing him from pouncing forward.

Seeing this, Xuanzang was a little confused.

He looked at himself hanging in the air, then raised his head to look at Chen Sheng: "Master, how could there be such a delicate girl in this mountain?"

"Look at her body again, there is no scratch or dust from walking in the woods, and her face and figure are more rosy and shiny than those of most wealthy people."

"This must be a demon! Master, let's kill it together!"

Although Xuanzang sounded excited, he looked very well-behaved after Chen Sheng grabbed his neck, and he didn't even struggle too much with his legs and feet.

But Mr. Chen ignored Xuanzang's words.

He looked at the girl with surprise and solemnity.

This look obviously made the girl lower her head timidly, not daring to look at Mr. Chen any longer.

After a long while, Mr. Chen spoke slowly.

"You know I exist?"

Mr. Chen narrowed his eyes, his tone clearly showing some certainty.

From the girl's fleeting gaze, he saw fear, helplessness and relief. It was obvious that she understood Mr. Chen who had just arrived.

Without waiting for the girl to answer, Xuanzang said excitedly: "Master, why waste time talking to this demon?"

"To deal with this evil heretic, there is no need to talk about human feelings or morality. We will fight together!"

Chen Sheng pretended not to hear Xuanzang's words.

He just continued to stare at the girl in front of him, with a strange look in his eyes.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it destined?

The moment he saw the girl, Chen was certain that she was one of the fleeing monsters, and his trip was not in vain.

But when he carefully observed the prototype of this girl, he couldn't help but show shock.

After the monster escapes, it will possess various creatures and cause mutations.

The three strands of monster vitality that he had captured before were obtained from the three mutated monsters: the monkey, the wild boar, and the catfish.

The coincidence of these three monsters is already too outrageous, and it just happens to correspond to the classic legends of Wukong, Wuneng, and Wujing.

However, the vitality of the monster in front of him actually further deepened this coincidence.

The object of its possession is a pile of bones.

To be precise, it was the bones of a human girl.

After possession.

The vague memories of the human girl collide and merge with the memories carried by the monster's vitality.

This created a harmless, confused skeleton demon.

"I know you exist..."

"In my vague memory, there is a scene where you raised your hand and a beam of light flashed across the sky."

"It seems that you have easily dealt with the main body."

The Skeleton Demon raised his head timidly and glanced at Chen Sheng, then lowered his head as if at a loss.

Her tone was filled with fear, but also a hint of reverence.

Hearing this, Mr. Chen nodded.

However, at the moment, not only does this white-bone corpse demon have a complicated look, but her own state can also be said to be quite complicated.

After possessing the skeleton, she possessed some of the skeleton's memories before his death, and these memories affected her in her mind.

In addition, the monster's vitality was already insufficient after being divided into so many parts, and now it was directly washed away by the incomplete human memories and no longer looked like an abyss creature.

Apparently, the newly born white-bone corpse demons, due to the influence of human memory, chose to only eat some pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens as blood food.

This half-human, half-demon state made Chen Sheng feel a little hesitant.

"Master, you won't be tempted by worldly desires, right?"

"You are the great Sage of the Stars! This kind of thing is not acceptable..."

Xuanzang stopped talking before he could finish his words.

Because Chen Sheng had quickly used spiritual power techniques combined with the power of the spiritual practice system to seal the mouth of Xuanzang, the evil disciple.

Seeing that Xuanzang could only open his mouth continuously but couldn't utter a word, Chen Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

For a moment, Mr. Chen felt like cleaning up the mess.

But then he thought that Master Jiexian of Nalanda Monastery still needed an outstanding disciple, and after all, this was the disciple he had taught himself.

Mr. Chen still resisted the urge to think evilly.

However, he felt that his previous assessment that Xuanzang could be called a holy monk was a bit hasty.

It seems that I need to practice Xuanzang more in the future.

Mr. Chen thought about it and planned a series of high-intensity exercise plans in his mind.

Then, he looked at the Skeleton Demon who was still very afraid of him.

"You know what's going to happen next, right?"

Mr. Chen looked at the Skeleton Demon and spoke calmly.

The Skeleton Demon fell silent after hearing this.

Her eyes subconsciously looked at the wooden box in Xuanzang's hand.

She could sense that there were three auras of the same origin sealed inside the wooden box.

Presumably, among the seven strands of monster vitality that fled, three of them were already staying there.

My next destination will probably be there, and I will become the fourth person sealed in the wooden box.

As for what will happen in the end, that is really unknown. The high probability is that it will be destroyed in the endless seal.

If possible, she, who has acquired human emotions and memories, naturally does not want to die like this.

Even though this is a false memory belonging to someone else, she still wants to cherish it.

However, she knew very well how powerful the man in front of her was.

Although her incomplete state made her forget a lot, she even forgot the origin and purpose of her original body.

However, the scene of Chen Sheng killing the original body with one blow still left a very deep impression in my mind.

She has absolutely no chance of winning.

There is no point in resisting.

"That's good to know. Let's go find the bandits first. We can't just ignore someone who is doing evil."

Mr. Chen smiled slightly and said this.

I don’t have to die?

This was the first thought of the Skeleton Demon.

Then, she was subconsciously stunned, not hearing the deeper meaning in Chen Sheng's words.

Others may not understand this sentence, but the White Bone Demon widened his eyes in shock.

The corpse of the young girl she was staying with was the one who had chosen to commit suicide after encountering bandits a few years ago.

In the end, his body was devoured by wolves, tigers and leopards, leaving only a pile of bones.

What Chen Sheng meant was that not only would he not kill her, he would also help her get revenge! She, who had inherited the girl's memories and emotions, looked at Chen Sheng in disbelief: "I have searched the nearby mountains, and there is no trace of those bandits."

"It should be due to the influence of the war years. They either fled far away or were destroyed."

"As long as you work hard, there is still a chance."

As he spoke, a malicious smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face.

This smile was not directed at the White Bone Demon, but at his evil disciple.

The next task of finding bandits is just right for Xuanzang to do, so that he can hone his skills.

"As for you, you can no longer be considered a pure abyss monster, but you do have a chance to reform."

Mr. Chen then spoke seriously to the White Bone Demon.

That's true.

Although the Skeleton Demon only inherited the emotions and memories of the human girl, it did not seem to be reluctant even though it knew that it was just a substitute.

Rather than saying that she is a substitute for that girl, it would be more accurate to say that she is a successor in some sense.

The skeleton demon at this moment can actually be said to be very similar to the girl who passed away.

How can we just wipe out a supernatural being that wants to be good? Thinking about it, Chen Sheng slowly put his hand on the shoulder of the skeleton demon.

The Skeleton Demon first shrank his shoulders timidly, then slowly straightened them back.

Then, she bravely raised her head and looked at Mr. Chen who was walking towards her.

The next moment, a warm force passed through the palm on my shoulder and into my body.

Although it is not much, it makes people feel vast and majestic, and a feeling of ultimate goodness and beauty is transmitted from this spiritual power.

This power traveled around the body of the White Bone Demon, and countless marks of the abyss were slowly worn away and melted wherever it passed.

"In terms of the most important consciousness, you miraculously did not become abyssalized, so it won't be difficult to erase the remaining abyssal marks."

Mr. Chen withdrew his hand and said as he looked at the Skeleton Demon who seemed to have become even more nimble.

Because the abyss power in the vitality of the monster that created the White Bone Demon was too dispersed, and coupled with the influence of the awakening of human nature, the mark of the abyss in the White Bone Demon's body had already had a loophole.

Therefore, Chen Sheng was able to erase the mark of the abyss in his body and cut off all ties with the abyss.

"Now let's get to know each other again."

"I am Chen Sheng, the Star Sage of Eternal Day, and this is my evil disciple Xuan Zang."

Mr. Chen smiled and threw Xuanzang back to the ground, completely ignoring his resentful look.

The Skeleton Demon looked at his own hands, carefully feeling the many changes that had taken place in himself.

Now, I no longer have the urge for bloodthirstiness and destruction, and the power in my body has become closer to nature, without the original darkness and depth.

It’s no longer appropriate to continue saying that she is a skeleton demon.

Looking at Mr. Chen who was introducing himself, she was silent for a long time, then she said:

"How should I call myself now?"

"I used her corpse to become a spirit and inherited her memories and emotions. So should I use the name of the deceased girl?"

She said, somewhat confused.

"You are not her, you are a whole new self."

"Why not..."

"How about calling me Bai Jingjing?"

Mr. Chen, who was totally bad at naming, smiled and shamelessly plagiarized other people's ideas.
