The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 135: The Dragon-trapping Formation, the Bloody Battle of Hongjiang

After hearing Xiaodie's words, Zhang Jiuyang finally understood the plan of the Painted Skin Master.

He had fought with the dragon girl before and knew that a head-on fight would only result in injuries to both sides, especially in places with water, where a real dragon was almost invincible.

So he set up a series of vicious schemes.

The first step is to lure the snake out of its hole. He is sure that although the Dragon Girl is a peace-loving person, she has a kind side to her character, otherwise she would not have allowed the nearby villagers to live by the water.

The villages of Qushui, Xiaochi, Xiling and Xihua all live quite well by fishing.

So he sent people to massacre these innocent villagers in front of the statue of the Dragon Girl. The villagers would surely pray for help out of fear.

The Dragon Girl chose to take action, which is why there were traces of thunder in Qushui Village. Those were the thunder summoned by the Dragon Girl.

The soil is so wet because of the huge waves caused by the Dragon Girl.

The Painted Skin Master took the opportunity to cast a curse on Yunmeng Lake, preventing the Dragon Girl from returning to the water, and replenishing her magic power by absorbing the essence of the water.

Afterwards, the Painted Skin Lord's men were willing to sacrifice themselves as cannon fodder in order to continue to consume the Dragon Girl's magic power.

Countless people were turned into ashes by thunder.

Although Xiaodie tried her best to survive, she was still buried in the rubble and was seriously injured.

Facing the threat from the Painted Skin Lord, the Dragon Girl, whose magic power was greatly consumed, naturally had to find a way to find a body of water. Her only choice to break out was Hongjiang, which was more than a hundred miles away.

But what she didn't know was that this was exactly what the Painted Skin Master had planned.

The Painted Skin Master had already set up a tight net in Hongjiang, waiting for her to fall into it.

Please enter the urn.

As for leaving the bloody words to put the blame on Yan Luo, it was just a casual act on his part, to vent his anger for digging out his own eyes.

"What traps are there in Hongjiang?"

Zhang Jiuyang immediately asked.

If you want to save people, you can't act recklessly. Although his indestructible golden body is said to be indestructible under the eighth realm, it will probably only last for an incense stick of time.

After a stick of incense, the monk's power was exhausted and he was about to be beaten back to his original form.

If you rush towards it without knowing what the trap is, there is a high possibility that you will lose your life instead of saving people.

Xiaodie's condition became worse, her face was pale and she spoke weakly.

"It seems...it seems that he has found...helpers...hiding in...Hongjiang..."

Blood kept gushing out of her mouth and she couldn't stop it.

Zhang Jiuyang knew that she had persisted until the last moment.

Judging from her appearance, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she is so tenacious. She can also hide under the control of the Painted Skin Master and find out so much important information. It shows her wisdom.

Although the paths are different, they are both admirable.

"Do you have any last words?"

"Tell the adults... I... I miss her... Xiaodie, in my next life... I still want to be with her..."

The light in Xiaodie's eyes gradually dimmed, her pupils became dilated, and she was completely without a trace of breath.

Zhang Jiuyang remained silent, and at the same time, he became even more curious about the Moon God.

What kind of person could make her so loyal?
He stood up and thought silently.

He had to go to Hongjiang, but facing the Painted Skin Master and an unknown helper, he was not completely sure.

The Imperial Observatory is a good help, but the problem is that the Lingtai Lang and Jian Hou are far away from each other, and by the time they arrive in Hongjiang, it is too late.

Moreover, he planned to act as Yama next. If the people from the Imperial Observatory saw him, they would probably not even care about the Painted Skin Master and would kill him first.

How can he effectively use the power of the Imperial Observatory without bringing trouble to himself, while at the same time directly influencing the Painted Skin Master to help him save the Dragon Girl?

How to break the game?

Zhang Jiuyang's mind began to work rapidly, but he always felt that he was missing something. At present, there seemed to be only one way, which was to go to Hongjiang, then open the golden body and gamble that he could defeat the Painted Skin Master and rescue the Dragon Girl within an incense stick of time.

Too risky!

The last time we dealt with Blind Lin, we asked Zhong Kui to come down to the world, but this time Wang Lingguan’s visualization was far from the level of bestowing the Lingguan Treasure Edict, so this approach didn’t work.

There is no other way, it seems I have to try my best.

Zhang Jiuyang was about to walk towards Li Yan and others who were waiting outside, but his eyes accidentally fell on the pile of corpses and saw a few large words written in blood.

The underworld!

There seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, and a path he had never thought of suddenly opened up.

Maybe it's possible!

He calmed down, his impatience instantly disappeared, and he thought about it again and confirmed that it was feasible.

Just do it.

He immediately walked towards Li Yan.

The other party was standing very far away, and Ah Li even used a ghost talisman to block the sound here to prevent anyone from hearing the conversation between Zhang Jiuyang and Xiaodie.

"How is it? What did you find out? Is she one of Yan Luo's people?"

"Yes."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "These tragedies were indeed committed by Yan Luo."

Several Si Chen were filled with indignation and said, "I knew it!"

"Yan Luo really deserves to die!"

Li Yan asked quickly: "Did she tell me where Yan Luo is?"

"said."

"where?"

Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath and said word by word: "Yangzhou."

"And she also said that the reason why Yan Luo was not found after searching the entire Qingzhou for the last Qingzhou Ghost King case was because he fled to Yangzhou and hid himself."

Several Si Chens did not expect that Zhang Jiuyang had gained so much, and they were excited.

"Boss, let's hurry up and write the book!"

"This time, we must root out Yan Luo!"

Li Yan frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Jiuyang deeply, and said, "Xiao Jiu, are you sure?" Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "When you write the letter, send a message to Yue Ling in my name."

"What?"

"Tell her that Zhang Jiuyang has found Yan Luo's lair, which is in Yangzhou. I hope she can mobilize more people and rush to Yangzhou as soon as possible."

……

moonlit night.

A monster with a green face and fangs, holding two blood-red knives, flew quickly through the air. When its wings flapped, it stirred up a strong wind, and its speed was extremely fast.

Zhang Jiuyang and Ao Ya stepped on his shoulders and headed straight for Hongjiang.

He had already put on the black robe, took out a demon mask from his arms, and slowly put it on his face.

This mask is made of special black iron. Ali also drew runes on it using the Yin-Walking Technique, making it carry Yin energy and evil spirit. In addition to blocking the breath, it also has the ability to intimidate.

It makes people feel scared at the sight of it.

There will be a fierce battle tonight.

"Ali, hurry up."

he urged.

"Brother Jiu, if it gets any faster, it will fall apart~"

"We'll be in Hongjiang in just a moment. Sister Longnu is so powerful, she will definitely be able to hold on until we get there!"

Ao Ya made uneasy noises, with an inexplicable impatience in his voice.

The sisters are connected by blood, and although she is stupid, she can feel the danger of her relatives.

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly had an idea. He closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into the Yellow Spring Order. He took the initiative to communicate with a person... The Painted Skin Master!

"One Eye, I heard that you came to my territory without saying hello?"

"Why, you don't want the other eye either?"

The first thing he mentioned was One Eye. It was such a contemptuous and mocking name that the Painted Skin Master would definitely not be able to accept.

Sure enough, before he could continue speaking, the hoarse and sharp voice of the Painted Skin Master suddenly sounded, mixed with a deep-rooted hatred.

"Yama!"

"Don't be so arrogant... Sooner or later... I will dig out both of your eyes, make a mask out of your skin, and take away everything you have!"

"Haha, you've lost one eye, but your mouth still stinks. In that case, I won't dig out your eyes next time. I'll pull out your tongue first."

"Yan Luo... I have nothing to say to you, wash your neck and wait for me."

"Hehe, I have something to tell you."

"...What do you want to say?"

Zhang Jiuyang sneered and said calmly, "I am quite interested in the thing you are guarding in Yangzhou. Give it to me and our account will be settled."

The Painted Skin Master was silent for a moment, seemingly shocked by such arrogant and shameless remarks.

After a long while, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"Yangzhou is my territory. If you dare to come, I will kill you!!!"

"In that case, you shouldn't have come to Qingzhou."

There was a condensed sense of hostility in Zhang Jiuyang's voice, and the murderous intent was as strong as a flame rising into the sky.

"You shouldn't steal my prey."

"Master Painted Skin, I wonder how you would feel if your skin was peeled off?"

"I'm very curious."

After a while, the voice of the Painted Skin Master was heard.

"Yan Luo, you will definitely die, you will definitely--"

Beside Hongjiang River.

The Painted Skin Master, who was wearing a black robe and a mask, was so angry that he cursed loudly, and the sinister eyes under the mask were full of blood.

That guy Yan Luo actually withdrew from the Huangquan Order directly!
He left after making such threats, leaving him no time to finish his words.

boom!
The river water kept rolling, rising several feet high, with raging waves, strong winds, and roaring thunder and rain.

Under the water, two huge figures flashed by. Every twist of their bodies caused huge waves and emitted a creepy roar.

Lines of blood spread across the Hongjiang River.

It seemed as if there was some terrifying monster fighting in the river.

"Master Painted Skin, you old man, why did you suddenly lose your focus? Hurry up and control the formation. The white dragon is almost exhausted. While you were distracted just now, it absorbed some more of the water essence!"

Some monster in the water complained to him.

"This white dragon is too difficult to deal with. If you don't do your best, just go into the water yourself and see if her claws can tear you into pieces!"

The Painted Skin Master snorted coldly, but he also knew that it was his own problem, and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen again."

He manipulated the large formation set up underwater, allowing all the essence of the water to flow into a figure instead of being absorbed by the white dragon.

This formation is called the Dragon Trapping Formation and was created by Zhuge Qixing. After he peeled off Zhuge Yu's skin and made a mask, he mastered this formation.

According to legend, when Daqian was first established, the dragon vein of the Dajing Dynasty was unwilling to see its kingdom taken away from it, so it transformed into an evil dragon and caused chaos, eating countless people.

Zhuge Qixing created the Dragon Trapping Formation, locked the power of the water, summoned the dragon veins of Daqian, transformed himself into a dragon, and went into the water to fight the evil dragon.

Under Zhuge Qixing's dragon-trapping formation, the evil dragon was unable to absorb the essence of the water, but the real dragon transformed from the Daqian dragon vein was able to gain strength continuously, and finally succeeded in devouring it and strengthening its own dragon vein.

As a result, Daqian's national fortune prospered and it quickly entered a period of prosperity.

After the Painted Skin Master obtained this formation, he remembered the white dragon that had rescued Chen Er from him.

He had been coveting the white dragon for a long time, but he had been holding back because he was afraid of its strength. Now that he had all the materials for setting up the formation and had a way to deal with it, he would naturally not let it go.

After killing this white dragon, he will not only obtain the dragon clan's magical powers, but also get the item hidden in Yangzhou in advance. By then...

"Yan Luo, what do you have to fight me?"
