The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 141 The truth about the dragon's fall, the scam of immortality
Zhang Jiuyang was shocked and his scalp felt cold.

My god, did I just walk through the gates of hell?
Fortunately, the dragon girl was kind-hearted and did not take action.

Sure enough, some jokes cannot be made casually. The temperament of this dragon girl cannot be guessed by common sense. How could an ordinary person have the intention to kill, and even if he has the intention to kill, would he speak it out honestly?

"Haha, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Zhang Jiuyang paused and said, "We are friends. It is only right for us to help our friends when they are in trouble. Besides, didn't you save me from the ghost soldiers last time?"

The dragon girl gazed into his clear, bright eyes and could feel the sincerity in them.

"friend……"

As she read these two words, a strange color flashed in her glass-colored pupils.

"But there is one thing I really need your help with."

"Please keep my other identity a secret for me."

Zhang Jiuyang's expression became serious. In order to save the Dragon Girl, he had to reveal his identity as Yan Luo.

If it gets out, he will probably never have peace.

Yan Luo can hide in the darkness, but Zhang Jiuyang can't. He still needs to rely on this identity to live in the sun.

Even if his identity is exposed, Yue Ling might be implicated.

His actions were too arrogant and had exceeded the bottom line of what the Imperial Observatory could accept. For example, he led tens of thousands of ghosts to attack Qingzhou City. Although the people he killed were all bad people, he did anger the powerful class in Daqian.

Others will not think that he is an undercover agent who endures humiliation, but will only think that he has fallen into the evil path.

"Good."

The dragon girl nodded without any hesitation.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and was not surprised. He believed that with the Dragon Girl's personality, it didn't matter whether he was Zhang Jiuyang or Yan Luo.

Good and evil were never within her consideration.

"Oh, right, I took Ao Ya to see a doctor, and he said she has dementia, a disease she got from her mother's womb, and it's very difficult to cure. What's going on?"

After a pause, Zhang Jiuyang said, "It's okay if it's inconvenient to say it."

The dragon girl felt his concern for her sister, and her glass-colored pupils softened a little. She whispered, "Zhang Jiuyang, can I trust you?"

"of course."

Zhang Jiuyang's voice was not loud, but extremely firm.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to try to see if I can cure her."

"Why are you so nice to Xiaoya?"

She looked at Zhang Jiuyang very seriously, their eyes met, not missing a single detail.

"Because I have a sister too."

A gentle smile emerged on Zhang Jiuyang's face, and his eyes seemed to pass through the distant woods, and he saw the little girl who was skillfully plucking and bleeding the little girl to make chicken stewed with mushrooms for him.

"And Old Dragon King, I always feel that people who have accumulated good deeds should not have their descendants suffer this kind of fate."

The Dragon Girl looked at that handsome face, which seemed to be shrouded in a faint glow under the moonlight, making it look even warmer.

"Actually, Xiaoya and I's mother is not a dragon, but a human."

The Dragon Girl lifted her feet from the water, bent her knees and stepped on the bluestone. The skin on the back of her feet was as white as jade, contrasting sharply with the bluestone.

Her snow-white skirt fell, covering her beautiful lotus feet. Her arms were gently wrapped around her knees, and her eyes were lowered, as if she was recalling a very distant, yet unforgettable memory.

Zhang Jiuyang was slightly shocked. The Dragon Girl’s mother was actually a human?
"My father's name is Ao Jing, and he was born more than 600 years ago."

"Zhang Jiuyang, do you still remember the dragon-trapping formation set up by the Painted Skin Master? In fact, the evil dragon that Zhuge Qixing killed back then was my grandfather."

Zhang Jiuyang was shocked.

Perhaps because of their life-and-death friendship, the dragon girl finally stopped hiding it and told the story that had been buried for many years.

It turned out that Dajinglong was unwilling to see the country change hands, so he transformed into an evil dragon and caused trouble, harming countless people. Zhuge Qixing set up a dragon-trapping formation and led the Daqian dragon vein in the Wujiang River to transform into a dragon, helping it devour the evil dragon.

Although the evil dragon died, he left behind descendants.

Zhuge Qixing was a man of great foresight, so he naturally did not miss this opportunity. He found the descendants of the evil dragon, but did not completely eradicate it.

Just to say that although Dajing’s 400-year foundation had its faults, it also made contributions to the world.

Zhuge Qixing named the evil dragon's descendant Ao Jing and released him.

Ao Jing has a gentle temperament, which is almost the opposite of his father. He hides in the mountains and fields, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and practicing silently.

During this period, it never ate humans. If it was discovered, it would move to another place to continue its cultivation.

As time goes by, the world changes.

When it finally achieved something and was ready to go out to seek revenge on Zhuge Qixing, it was shocked to hear that the other party had already died, and that Daqian had entered a prosperous era with peace in the world. To the common people, Dajing had long been a strange name.

The past is like smoke, vanishing with the wind.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Ao Jing. In his impression, that figure was so stunning that even though he had made great progress in his training, he still dared to go out with the determination to die.

However, time is merciless, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.

After standing in front of Zhuge Qixing's tomb for a long time, Ao Jing finally let go of all his hatred and the old grudges from the previous era.

It continued to practice in the mountains and swamps, and from then on it had only one goal in mind, which was to become an immortal.

Although the life of the dragon clan is long, it is not immortal. Even a strong one like Zhuge Qixing has died. If it cannot break through to the ninth level, it will sooner or later become a corpse in the mud at the bottom of the water.

After that, its practice became more and more advanced, and it even entered the eighth realm that even Zhuge Qixing had never entered, and lived for a full five hundred years!

Ao Jing is ambitious and is ready to break through the ninth realm, transform into the legendary Yinglong, fly into the fairyland and enjoy eternal life.

However, the thunder tribulation taught it how to be a dragon.

It was struck half to death and fell on a mountain in Qingzhou. The next rainfall would have to wait for more than ten days. During this period, it had to endure the scorching sun and could not absorb any strength.

Given its condition at the time, it was almost certain death.

Ao Jingdu was ready to die, but he didn't expect that on the third day, he met a person, a young girl.

The girl was a little scared, but she was kind enough to overcome her fear and walked forward, asking in a low voice if it was sick. She then chewed up the herbs she had picked and applied them to its wounds.

Although that little bit of herbs was insignificant, it gave Ao Jing renewed hope of life.

Ao Jing asked her for water, and the thin girl ran to a deep pool in the distance to fetch water. However, that little water was just a drop in the bucket, so the girl ran back to the town at the foot of the mountain and called many people.

Inspired by her, local people came one after another. They built a sunshade shed for Ao Jing and kept running to fetch water for it. In order to prove that Ao Jing would not hurt people, the girl always sat by its mouth, talked to it, and bravely stroked its dragon scales.

In this way, it survived the most difficult ten days and waited for a storm.

"That girl back then was my mother."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the Dragon Girl's mouth, as if she recalled the scene of her mother patting her back gently and humming ballads in the summer.

Zhang Jiuyang felt deeply moved. No wonder the old Dragon King had dedicated himself to the people of Qingzhou for many years and married a human woman. It turned out that there was a hidden story behind it.

Back then, the evil dragon killed countless people, but its son was able to benefit the area and saved countless lives. The fickleness of fate is truly lamentable.

Wait, so, the reason why Zhuge Qixing let Ao Jing go was because he had predicted what would happen hundreds of years later?
hiss!
This speculation made Zhang Jiuyang gasp. If that was the case, then Zhuge Qixing was too terrifying.

But if this were not the case, with Zhuge Qixing's devotion to Daqian, how could he leave behind disaster and allow a dragon that had a grudge against Daqian for destroying his country and killing his father to survive?
You know, Zhuge Qixing is not a kind-hearted person. When the ghost soldiers massacred a city in Yongzhou, he dared to go straight into the underworld!
Domineering and strong.

In an instant, Zhang Jiuyang felt that this world became even darker and more terrifying.

With Zhuge Qixing's cultivation, he died in an unclear manner. What happened to him in his later years? Why did the Imperial Observatory classify his death as top secret?
"After marrying my mother, my father no longer thought about overcoming the tribulation. He made clouds and rain to repay the people of Qingzhou, and lived a peaceful and happy life with my mother. He gave birth to my two brothers and me, and our family lived happily until my mother became pregnant again."

There was a clear wave of emotion in her glassy eyes, and she subconsciously tightened her arms around her knees.

Obviously, the memories that followed were very painful.

Zhang Jiuyang frowned slightly. What kind of thing could cause a Dragon King of the eighth realm to suffer a disaster and even lose his family?
Could it be that the old Dragon King is going through another tribulation?
"At that time, my mother was already seven or eight months pregnant. Qingzhou suffered a massive wildfire that lasted for several days and killed many people. Although my father noticed something was wrong, he could not resist the people's desperate pleas in the temple and went to make rain anyway."

When she talked about this experience, her voice trembled slightly.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes flashed and he uttered these four words.

A seven or eight month pregnancy, and a sudden wildfire, it was all too coincidental. There must be an invisible hand behind the scenes.

"After Daddy left, a man wearing a black robe and a mask came to our house, broke the formation Daddy left behind, and wanted to capture Mom."

"My mother was a cultivator at the fifth level at that time, but she was still no match for him."

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, my two brothers awakened their bloodlines, transformed into real dragons, bit towards him, and entangled him for a while."

"My mother took me away, and the last thing I saw was..."

The dragon girl clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost pierced into her flesh, but she was completely unaware.

"It was a brother who was torn in half by him, and dragon blood was splattered everywhere..."

Zhang Jiuyang sighed softly, approached her silently, took off his coat and put it on her. At this moment, the powerful dragon girl revealed the most vulnerable and soft side of her heart.

"After my mother took me away, she cut open her own belly and gave birth to Ao Ya using a secret method. This also caused Ao Ya to be born with congenital defects and mental impairment, and she suffered from an incurable dementia."

"My mother said that the man was targeting her, so she asked me to take Ao Ya and run away, and not to look back. She then headed in another direction to lead the enemy away..."

"That was the last time I saw my mother."

"Later, my father's statue was shattered. I could feel that he had fallen..."

"I took my sister and fled to Yunmengze. There was a carp spirit here, but I got rid of it. By the way, Chen Er helped me at that time."

The dragon girl told her life story without reservation. Over the years, Zhang Jiuyang was the first person she confided in.

These words have been kept in my heart for too long.

Now that I have said it all out, I feel a lot more relaxed.

"Zhang Jiuyang, thank you for listening to me..."

After a pause, she added: "But don't tell anyone else."

So far, she only trusts Zhang Jiuyang.

"Don't worry, we both have each other's secrets."

Zhang Jiuyang sighed and finally understood why the Dragon Girl had such a complicated attitude towards the human race.

No wonder she was unwilling to control the clouds and rain for the human race.

She had lived with humans since she was a child and had half human blood, so she was originally quite close to humans. However, she did not expect that her father would destroy her family in order to protect the human race.

If the old Dragon King had ignored the wildfire, the outcome might have been completely different.

The masked man in the black robe obviously had no confidence in defeating the old Dragon King head-on, so he used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. His purpose was to capture the old Dragon King's relatives for blackmail.

This was the reason why the Dragon King died that night.

No one can easily defeat a true dragon of the eighth level unless he masters the true dragon's reverse scale.

But who is that man in black robe?
Mysterious, powerful, cruel, unscrupulous...

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly had an idea and thought of a figure.

On the Mount Yamafu, there is the Jia-shaped throne, the head of the ten heavenly stems... Tianzun!
If there is anyone in the world today who has the ability and courage to plot a true dragon of the eighth realm, Tianzun is definitely one of them.

Could it be him?

Zhang Jiuyang did not tell the Dragon Girl about this guess, because Tianzun was too powerful. The most urgent task was to eliminate the Painted Skin Master first and strengthen his voice in the underworld.

"Don't worry, the truth will come out one day."

"But I don't care about the truth."

The dragon girl raised her eyes, her expression had returned to calm, and she said calmly: "If I knew the truth, my parents and brother would never come back to life, and Xiaoya's stupidity would never be cured."

She stood up, her slender and graceful figure standing in the moonlight, the wind blew up her cloud-like hair and clothes, her glass-colored pupils were crystal clear, like a blue gem.

"Zhang Jiuyang, I don't care about the truth, I just want revenge."

"So I can't be your mount until I get my revenge."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I've already told you that I don't want you to be my mount. If you want revenge, you must practice hard. Once you break through to the ninth level, you will be able to kill your enemies with your own hands."

The Dragon Girl shook her head and said in a serious tone, "Regarding the Ninth Realm, my father told me something when I was a child."

"what's up?"

"He said the ninth realm doesn't exist."

Zhang Jiuyang was suddenly shocked. The ninth realm... doesn't exist?

"Daddy also said that immortality is the biggest scam in this world."
