The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 123: Kill the Evil Ghost, Success in Days
The night is getting darker.

Yue Ling used invisibility and followed Su Nu quietly.

As a result, the journey lasted three hours.

When the sky brightened, Su Nu hid in a cave to recuperate and rest.

Yue Ling was guarding outside. In order not to alert the enemy, she stood hundreds of feet away. She held the Dragon Sparrow Sword, bent her knees and sat on the tree, and began to read the booklet that Zhang Jiuyang gave her.

He read every word very carefully, and when he was sure he had memorized them all, a flame flashed in his palm, burning the book to ashes.

She couldn't let Zhang Jiuyang be at risk of being exposed; keeping this booklet would always be a loophole.

"Moon God..."

She whispered softly, her eyes cold.

According to what is written in the booklet, the Moon Goddess's status may be very noble. She cannot often attend the Yellow Spring Banquet because she has to disappear for a period of time to attend the Yellow Spring Banquet.

There is a high possibility that this Moon Goddess is surrounded by many servants, and they are not her subordinates, otherwise there would be no need to be shy.

Second, the Moon Goddess often obtains many rare treasures and is very popular at the Yellow Spring Banquet.

Combining these two points, plus the direction in which Su Nu escaped, Yue Ling had a bold guess in her mind, but she was not completely sure yet.

Not long after, she heard some kind of lascivious music coming from the cave.

Yue Ling was shocked, thinking that Su Nu had seduced a woodcutter to replenish his yin, but she soon discovered that Su Nu was the only one in the cave.

"Yama!"

"Yama!"

Su Nu kept calling Yan Luo's name, and her voice became more and more urgent.

Yue Ling even saw her rubbing her wounds with her hands, her face showing a complex expression of both pain and joy.

I don’t know how long it took, but the storm passed and everything returned to calm.

Yue Ling felt a chill and wished she could chop this shameless evil spirit to death with a single blow, but in order to catch the big fish behind the scenes, she forced herself to endure it.

"Zhang Jiuyang, look at the kind of women you've provoked..."

She touched the Dragon Sparrow Sword at her waist and sneered.

"I will help you block this good fortune."

……

In the next few days, Yue Ling continued to follow secretly, but what made her embarrassed and annoyed was that this Su Nu was too promiscuous. Even though she was injured, she still had to do that kind of thing several times a day.

I really don't know what's so comfortable about that kind of thing?

What made her even more uncomfortable was that Su Nu would shout Yan Luo's name loudly every time.

She felt uncomfortable that her best friend was being targeted by such a shameless witch, even though it was just a name.

Clang!
The Dragon Sparrow Sword sensed the murderous intent and anger in its master's heart and wanted to clang in its scabbard, but was slapped back by Yue Ling and became obedient.

The sword spirit also didn't understand why the master had such a bad temper recently.

Three days later.

Su Nu finally arrived at her destination. Seeing the other party entering the capital city with confidence, Yue Ling's eyes narrowed and a chill rose in her heart.

She guessed correctly.

The place Su Nu was going to was actually the capital city!
Moreover, it seemed that the capital's national defense formation did not seem to be able to sense the evil spirit at all, allowing it to move freely.

Yue Ling continued to follow until she saw Su Nu transformed into a palace maid and swaggered into the palace with a badge in her hand, then she stopped.

She lowered her eyes, her gaze unpredictable.

It is indeed... the palace!
Which concubine in the palace could be the Moon Goddess?
Even...the Queen?
For a moment, with Yue Ling's personality, she didn't dare to think about it any further.

She suddenly thought that when His Majesty was the crown prince, he had a good reputation, but after he ascended the throne, he quickly became dissolute and indulged in pleasure.

At first she also thought that His Majesty no longer concealed his true identity after ascending the throne, but now it seems that the Moon Goddess must be responsible for this.

Moreover, she finally understood why the national defense formation in the capital had no effect on Su Nu. The token was a royal item and was stamped with the imperial seal. When Su Nu held it, she was naturally protected by the dragon energy and would not be sensed by the formation.

This matter involved too many things, so she wanted to tell the supervisor immediately, and then work together to catch the Moon Goddess and remove the poison.

But she soon calmed down.

The Moon Goddess must have been lurking in the palace for a long time, and her plans are extremely ambitious. It seems that she is not trying to harm Your Majesty's life, otherwise she would have succeeded long ago.

So there is no rush for this matter.

She naturally trusted the Supervisor, but if she did that, she would have to tell the Supervisor about Zhang Jiuyang's hiding in the underworld. Otherwise, the Supervisor would never believe her when it came to matters of state.

Even though everyone calls him a sick cat, Yue Ling knows how smart the Supervisor is.

No one can lie to him unless he has no intention of exploring.

In addition, although the Imperial Observatory has great power and a certain degree of independence, in the final analysis, it still nominally has to obey His Majesty.

If you want to kill the Moon Goddess, there is a high possibility that a huge conflict will break out with His Majesty.

But she knew that His Majesty was actually somewhat dissatisfied with the Imperial Observatory, otherwise he would not have gone to the Taiping Temple all day long, and even intended to make the abbot of the Taiping Temple the imperial teacher.

Yue Ling pondered for a long time and felt a little confused.

Huangquan was indeed a terrifying abyss, just as the Supervisor had described. The more one investigated, the more shocking it became.

She thought she saw hope of seeing the sun after the clouds cleared, but unexpectedly, she saw a dark cloud overhead again.

The six hundred years of the Daqian Dynasty was like a house that looked relatively intact, but was actually full of insects and ants, and the beams had been eaten away.

When he was confused, the first person that came to Yue Ling's mind was not the Supervisor Zhuge Yunhu, nor his father who was in charge of 200,000 iron troops in Jizhou, but a handsome face.

It seems that no matter what happens, he always smiles, then survives from death and creates miracles.

Yue Ling laughed at herself. She always prided herself on being a heroine, but now she was actually relying on others?

……

In the imperial palace, in a bedroom.

Under the light golden embroidered tent, through the faint candlelight, one can vaguely see a beautiful figure looming on the phoenix bed, which seems to have infinite charm.

Su Nu knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "Master, I am incompetent and have only refined three red pills."

She respectfully presented the three red pills.

Hongwan automatically flew into the curtain, and a lazy, charming, tingling voice sounded, which made people's souls move, but there was also an indescribable majesty.

"Why did you provoke Yue Ling?"

Su Nu's heart trembled, knowing that if she didn't answer this question well, her end would be miserable.

After all, their master had repeatedly ordered them to act in secret and not to provoke the Imperial Observatory.

Su Nu did not dare to hide anything and told the truth, starting from the time when she had sex with the young general, all the way to when Zhang Jiuyang tried to stop her, Yue Ling came to kill her, and Yama Luo showed up.

"Master, I just want to refine a few more red pills to honor you..."

She lowered her head, anxious, waiting for her master's decision. Under the embroidered curtain, a white and slender lotus foot slowly stretched out.

A few faint green veins can be seen under the white and tender skin, and the slender toes like ice silkworms are smeared with ruby-like Impatiens juice.

The gorgeous gold anklet is embellished with pink glass gems, making her skin look even whiter.

She gently lifted Su Nu's chin with her toes.

"I've told you to keep a low profile. How dare you take the essence of a son of a fourth-rank Lieutenant General?"

"I think you are not doing this for me, but for yourself."

Su Nu said tremblingly: "Master, please understand. Even if you give me ten courages, I, I would not dare to do it. It is because the young general has a body of Qilin bones and abundant Yang energy. He alone is enough to refine two red pills. It would be a pity if we miss it..."

The woman in the embroidered tent smiled faintly, slowly retracted her feet, and her figure disappeared into the tent again.

"You have offended the Imperial Observatory. You will be punished later."

Su Nu shuddered and said, "Yes, I understand..."

"But you have made great contributions in refining the red pill. Sit cross-legged and I will teach you the fifth level of the Su Nu Yin Qi Jing."

Su Nu was overjoyed when she heard this, and kowtowed excitedly, saying, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!"

Then, a green jade finger stretched out from the embroidered curtain, and with a slight movement, a jade light flew out and landed on Su Nu's brow.

After a moment, Su Nu opened her eyes again and was about to express her gratitude when she heard her master's voice again.

"Zhang Jiuyang is Yue Ling's peripheral. You shouldn't go into the dream and provoke that Zhang Jiuyang."

"But this Zhang Jiuyang is not confused by your method of entering dreams. He does have some skills. No wonder Yue Ling cares about him so much."

"Master, that Zhang Jiuyang is handsome, could he be Yue Ling's lover?"

"Haha, then you underestimate Yue Ling."

"Master, although Yue Ling is powerful, she is still far inferior to Yan Luo. Didn't you see how embarrassed she was when she fled..."

"Yama……"

The voice in the embroidered tent suddenly became solemn.

"It seems that a dragon has indeed come from the underworld. I just hope he won't affect my plan..."

"Master, why don't you think Yan Luo took the opportunity to kill Yue Ling?"

"Haha, this is exactly where he excels."

"If Yue Ling died, the Imperial Observatory and the Jizhou Army would go crazy. From this, we can see that Yan Luo, who seems to act fiercely and recklessly, is actually a smart man who knows how to advance and retreat."

Su Nu wanted to say something, but suddenly she heard the eunuch's voice outside.

"His Majesty is here!"

A soft sigh sounded from the embroidered tent.

"Su Nu, you will serve that old man today. Don't forget the previous rules."

"Yes, Master!"

……

Imperial Observatory, White Tiger Pavilion.

Yue Ling quickly returned to Baihu Pavilion and wrote a letter to Zhang Jiuyang, but before the ink had dried, she tore up and burned the letter.

There was one thing she hadn't done for Zhang Jiuyang yet.

Soon, she ordered people to bring many books that recorded the world's rare treasures and began to read them.

She wanted to help Zhang Jiuyang find records about the Yinmo Luo Fruit. This kind of thing would have been most appropriate for someone from the Tianji Pavilion, but since it involved lurking, she didn't dare take any risk.

After searching for a whole day and night, she finally saw the records about the Yinmo Luo Fruit.

After seeing the effect of this thing, Yue Ling's eyes lit up.

What a good opportunity for Zhang Jiuyang!

……

"The Yin Mara Fruit is transformed from an evil ghost deep in the underworld. This ghost is called the Killing Ghost, also known as the Mara Body Ghost. The Buddhist scriptures mention that the Mara Body Ghost likes to eat the souls of eminent monks the most, and often appears when the eminent monks pass away."

“But sometimes, high monks with profound Buddhist knowledge will cut off their flesh to feed the eagles, feed the demons with their bodies, and actively offer their souls. They use their profound Buddhist teachings to influence the evil ghosts, making them have good thoughts and unable to return to the underworld. After nine days, they will turn into a fruit called Yin Mara.”

"Skin it and take out its heart. Ordinary people would feel like eating arsenic if they took it, but monks can grow their primordial spirits, develop the Dharma Eye, and have a chance to gain Buddhist magical powers. It is truly a rare treasure in the world. It is not available in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory's treasury at the moment. It can be sold for 10,000 merits!"

In the mansion, Zhang Jiuyang looked at Yue Ling's letter and read the content about the Yinmo Luo Fruit. He couldn't help but feel a little happy.

A rare treasure in the world worth ten thousand good deeds!

It can help people develop the Dharma Eye, and there is even a chance to gain a kind of magical power from Buddhism!
This thing came at the right time for him, as he was about to break through to the third realm, and then he could try to open his Dharma Eye.

But according to Yue Ling, it is very difficult to open the Dharma Eye. Most cultivators open their mind's eye when they reach the third realm. Although it also has some strange features, it is still much inferior to the Dharma Eye.

In order to open the Dharma Eye, in addition to practicing the most advanced techniques, the cultivator's soul must be naturally stronger than that of an ordinary person.

In other words, talent is required.

Zhang Jiuyang was not absolutely sure about this, but with this Yinmo Luo Fruit, he was full of confidence.

He continued reading the letter and saw Yue Ling's worry and confusion. After thinking about it, he also wrote a letter and asked Yue Ling's Qingji to take it back.

As for Ali and his Qingji, they were still sleeping soundly.

Zhang Jiuyang continued to practice, with the sun rising and the moon setting, the morning going and the evening coming.

He lay motionless on the bluestone beside the pond at home, like a sculpture, and even his breathing was long and intermittent.

Even a bird landed on his head without him noticing.

Time flies. With the bright moon rising into the sky and its bright light shining everywhere, the Hundred Days' Pass has finally arrived at its last moment.

Boom!

Zhang Jiuyang came to the black sea again and met the kidney god Xuanming who was as tall as a mountain. The black turtle swam happily in the water, carrying Zhang Jiuyang to travel around the world.

The waves were no longer turbulent, but became unusually calm, the sun was warm, the breeze was gentle, and everything seemed so peaceful and harmonious.

He finally conquered the kidney spirit completely and unlocked the secret store of essence in the human body.

All rivers flow into the sea to feed Kunpeng.

He slowly opened his eyes. In the darkness, his gaze seemed brighter than the moon in the sky, making the stars pale in comparison.

The powerful magic power surged in his body like the surging Yangtze River.

He felt that every part of his limbs was filled with Qi, and he could not help but let out a long roar. The sound was like a dragon roaring in a lake, a tiger howling in a valley, and the Qi rushed up to the Milky Way!
The seventh year of Taiping, the month of Xu, the day of Jiazi, the hour of Hai.

After a hundred days, the mission is accomplished!
