The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 140: Reopening the Yan Luo case, Dragon Girl plays the flute
Kyoto, Kanshoin.

The seven great supervisors of the Imperial Observatory all gathered together, looking solemn.

Zhuge Yunhu was still relaxed, wearing an ordinary green cloth, and said calmly: "Four villages, 864 people, all massacred, are you sure it was Yan Luo who did it?"

Shentu Jianhou slammed the table and cursed: "It must be him who did it. The method used by Qingzhou is exactly the same. This beast really slaughtered people like pigs and dogs. He has absolutely no conscience!"

Yue Ling said calmly: "I don't think so. In Qingzhou, Yan Luo killed high-ranking officials and nobles. He seemed to disdain to kill ordinary people. How could such a person go to such a far place and massacre several villages?"

Shentu Jianhou said angrily: "Yue Ling, why are you still speaking for this beast? Does the evil spirit need a reason to kill people? Maybe he is just unhappy and wants to vent!"

"I am only speaking for the truth, Supervisor. I still feel that there must be something fishy about this matter."

Shentu Jianhou glared at Yue Ling, his beard fluttering and his eyes like bronze bells.

His good friend Nie Guangxian was once the governor of Qingzhou and died tragically at the hands of Yama Luo, so he had long hated that evil spirit to the core.

Yue Ling also looked at him quietly, his eyes calm, but not at all inferior. The Dragon Sparrow Sword beside him clanged slightly in its sheath.

"If you want to fight, I'm always here to help."

At this moment, she acted extremely strong. Although she was a newly promoted marquis, her strength at the fifth level allowed her to be on equal footing with the other marquises.

The Yue family of Jizhou is a well-deserved giant.

If you want strength, you must have strength, and if you want power, you must have power.

Shentu Jianhou did not expect Yue Ling to be so strong and refused to retreat, and could not help but pause.

The other prisoners quickly came out to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.

Zhuge Yunhu smiled faintly and suddenly said, "Longhu, you have been very smart recently. Even without leaving your house, you can find clues related to Huangquan from the vast files."

"I'm a little curious, how do you know that those children whose skulls were dug out are related to Huang Quan?"

Hearing this, the other eunuchs also looked at Yue Ling curiously.

Yue Ling's reputation has soared recently. She went against all odds and insisted on a thorough investigation of some cases. As a result, she was able to follow the clues and wipe out many evil dens. According to the information obtained during the interrogation, these evil spirits turned out to be the subordinates of the Two-Faced Buddha!
The Two-Faced Buddha is ranked second on the wanted list within the Imperial Observatory. The first one is Tianzun.

This evil old man is extremely cunning, his mind and abilities are unfathomable. Over the years, they have always been one step behind him, as if they were being led by the nose.

Only this time, they were able to capture the Two-Faced Buddha's men first and rescue a large number of imprisoned children.

As a result, Yue Ling became very popular in the Imperial Observatory, and His Majesty was very pleased. He lifted her house arrest and issued an imperial decree to commend her.

Faced with this question, Yue Ling sighed softly in her heart.

How she wanted to tell everyone openly that this was all Zhang Jiuyang's work, and that he had endured humiliation and gone deep into the tiger's den to find out the news.

But she knew she couldn't.

There must be Huang Quan's spies in the Imperial Observatory, but she is not sure who it is. Maybe he is in this room.

"intuition."

She said calmly, "Supervisor, I would like to request to preside over the Yan Luo case."

Someone wants to frame Zhang Jiuyang!

Zhuge Yunhu smiled and said, "Okay, you should get up from where you fell. In this case, you will continue to be in charge of the Yan Luo case."

But he paused and looked at Shentu Xiong again.

"Shentu Jianhou, please bear with me and be a deputy director. I believe that with the combined strength of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger Pavilions, we will be able to get to the bottom of this and arrest the real culprit."

Shentu Jianhou clasped his fists and said, "As you command!"

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He could finally fight with Yan Luo. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Yue Ling frowned slightly.

Shen Tu Xiong is too hostile to Yan Luo, and he is not under his command, so he might be a trouble at that time.

After the meeting.

Shen Tu Xiong and Yue Ling walked side by side. He walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with bold and vigorous movements. His sturdy body made him look like a black bear walking upright.

"Marquis Yue, should we go to Yangzhou to investigate first?"

"Let's split our forces into two groups."

Yue Ling glanced at him and said calmly, "I will go to Yangzhou, and you will go to the village near Yunmengze and take people to investigate. After all, that is the crime scene, and there may be other clues."

Shen Tu Xiong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Yue Jianhou, how about we switch places? I'll go to Yangzhou and you go to Yunmengze."

Seeing the coldness on Yue Ling's face, he explained: "I'm not greedy for merit, but I'm a rough man. I can't do this kind of thing of looking for clues. Let me go to find Yan Luo's lair."

Yue Ling snorted coldly and said, "Whatever."

"Haha, thank you very much, Yue Jianhou!"

Shentu Xiong got the answer he wanted and immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

Yue Ling sneered.

chuff?

If she hadn't deliberately said that she wanted to go to Yangzhou, how could Shen Tu Xiong have taken the initiative to volunteer to switch places with her?
This guy seems to have a bad temper, but in fact he is a thoughtful and thoughtful person.

He did not completely believe the information Li Yan sent him, so he came to test it.

After a moment, she put on her armor, gathered her men and horses, and rushed towards Qingzhou.

Zhang Jiuyang, nothing can happen to you.

Wait a minute, I'll be there soon!
……

In the cave, the fire gradually died out.

Zhang Jiuyang fell asleep leaning against the wall at some point. Although he was not injured in the battle and appeared to be extremely strong, it actually drained a lot of his mental and physical energy.

After the battle, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he began to feel sleepy. But not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes when he heard some noise.

It turned out that Ao Ya was grinding her teeth in her dream. She didn't know what she was dreaming about. She was holding a big stone and chewing it with a crunchy sound.

Zhang Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmm? No, where's the Dragon Girl?

I saw that the place where the dragon girl had slept was empty, but he was wearing his outer coat.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but there is a faint fragrance on the coat that lingers.

The Dragon Girl is gone?

He quickly got up and walked out of the cave to check. Not far away, Ali came back skipping, holding a pheasant in one hand and mushrooms in the other.

"Brother Jiu, I'll make you chicken stewed with mushrooms!"

"Ali, have you seen the Dragon Girl?"

"See! It's over there!"

Ah Li pointed in a direction and said with great joy, "Sister Long Nu is bathing over there. She is amazing. She has become so fair and tender after such a severe injury!"

After a pause, she chuckled and suggested, "Brother Jiu, now is a good time for you to be a cowherd. I will help you steal Sister Longnv's clothes, and together we can make her my sister-in-law!"

"Hehe, it can also save a lot of money for the betrothal gift~"

Zhang Jiuyang knocked her head hard and said, "Am I that kind of person, your ninth brother?"

Ali nodded.

Zhang Jiuyang was angry and slowly drew out the Ghost-Slaying Sword.

"I'll give you another chance to speak properly."

Ah Li took a deep breath, her little head spinning, recalling the idioms she had learned, and said quickly: "Ninth brother, you... you are a beast in human clothing, but you are a gentleman!"

Zhang Jiuyang's face turned dark, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"From now on...you are not allowed to use any idioms!"

If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. If a child is not taught strictly, it is the laziness of the teacher.

He decided to give his child a complete childhood.

As the screams rang out, even the sleeping Ao Ya was woken up. She was not angry. She thought she was playing a game when she saw this scene. She showed a smile with missing front teeth and clapped her little hands happily.

……

A small lake in the distance is surrounded by light clouds.

Zhang Jiuyang naturally did not want to peep at the Dragon Girl bathing, but he waited for a while on purpose, and only came to meet her after hearing the sound of a jade flute in the distance.

Sitting on the bluestone in the lake was a fairy in white, who was independent and graceful.

Her clothes have been restored to their original state, whiter than snow, with flowing cloud patterns painted on them. Her waist-length hair falls like a waterfall, still slightly wet, sheening like brocade in the moonlight.

The dragon girl under the moon, dressed in white and barefoot.

She stepped on the clear water, holding a green jade flute horizontally in her slender fingers. Her skin was as white as ice and snow, and the sound of the flute was clear and distant, like the sound of nature.

Zhang Jiuyang finally understood why the statue of Ao Li enshrined in Qushui Village was playing a jade flute.

This scene is unforgettable for anyone who sees it.

The song is over.

He simply felt as if a clear spring was flowing into his heart. After walking in the misty rain of the south of the Yangtze River, he was nourished by the moisture and all the fatigue in his mind was swept away.

Zhang Jiuyang floated over and landed on the bluestone.

The Dragon Girl seemed to have known that he was coming. Her snow-white feet swayed gently in the water. She remained silent, but allowed Zhang Jiuyang to sit next to her without refusing.

"Zhang Jiuyang, thank you."

Her voice was very ethereal, but compared to the past, it seemed a little less cold.

Zhang Jiuyang recalled her mumbling in her dream, smiled slightly, and said, "For such a big favor, I can't just say thank you and be done with it."

She raised her head, and her glass-colored pupils stared at Zhang Jiuyang quietly.

"I can give you half a dragon ball."

After a pause, she seemed to be afraid that Zhang Jiuyang would think it was too little, and added: "There are also treasures in the Yunmengze Dragon Palace, you can take them all."

Seeing her being so serious, Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but teasing, "But I don't need these."

"Then what do you want?"

"Let me think... Oh, it seems I'm missing a mount..."

Zhang Jiuyang glanced at her lowered eyes, and his fingers holding the jade flute subconsciously clenched a little, and his pair of snow-white feet like lotus flowers were also swaying restlessly in the water.

He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The Dragon Girl, who was always so high and mighty, actually looked a bit cute at this moment.

After a long time, the dragon girl seemed to sigh softly, and a hint of frustration appeared in her beautiful glass-colored eyes.

Zhang Jiuyang felt that his joke seemed to have gone a little too far. Just as he was about to speak, he heard her voice faintly.

"Zhang Jiuyang, I want to kill you."

"But I can't do it."
