The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 208 Shura Field, Ask Zhuge

"Dongyang Lake...are you giving it all to me?"

There were ripples in the Dragon Girl's eyes as she looked at the world's largest lake, which was endless under the moonlight and felt the majestic aura of the water. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

She was only half a step away from the sixth realm. If she could obtain Dongyang Lake, it would definitely speed up the process.

Moreover, when she was a child, she had heard her father say that Dongyang Lake was the largest lake in the world. Her father had lived here for a period of time and broke through to the seventh level with the help of the essence of the water. After that, when there was no further progress, he left here and went to the East China Sea.

"Of course it's for you. The reason why I want to wipe out the people of Zong San is to clean up for you first. It's a pity to let such a precious place with such a beautiful and smart look be occupied by those evil spirits."

"It can be regarded as repaying your kindness in giving me the treasure."

Zhang Jiuyang shook the jade flute in his hand with a smile on his face.

He liked this magic weapon very much. It had many functions, many changes, and a lot of potential that could be tapped. Most importantly, it was... cool!

It feels like Han Xiangzi among the Eight Immortals.

The Dragon Girl shook her head and said, "Then I owe you again."

To be fair, she had her own standards in mind. She gave the flute to Zhang Jiuyang because he had saved her, which was not a favor.

"It's okay, just pay it back slowly. There's no need to be too polite between friends."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and said jokingly, "Then congratulations to Fairy Ao Li on your new home."

The Dragon Girl did not refuse any more. She thought about it and tried to imitate the way a human girl would bow, her voice still clear and cold.

"Thanks, How about you."

"Then bring Ao Ya over. I just happen to miss her, and A Li is clamoring to play with Fourth Sister."

Thinking of her younger sister, a smile flashed across Longnv's face and she said, "Xiaoya likes you and A-li, too."

With a sweet smile, that elegant and extraordinary face instantly became bright, the rain in the sky stopped, the clouds and fog dissipated, the moon shone brightly, and the sky and the earth were illuminated.

Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but pause. The Dragon Girl's cultivation was getting higher and higher, and now her mood changes could even affect the celestial phenomena.

But does the dragon bloodline give her beauty? She seems to be even more beautiful.

However, when he thought of Ao Ya's silly smile with two missing front teeth, he quickly shook his head.

The dragon has nine sons, and each of them is indeed different.

Ao Li's beauty is natural, and must be rare among the dragon clan.

"Zhang Jiuyang, if you want to take back Dongyang Lake in the future, I won't be unhappy, and I won't hit you."

The dragon girl suddenly said, not knowing what she was thinking of.

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I promised to give it to you, there is absolutely no reason to take it back."

"Since I promised you, I will definitely do it."

Wait, this sentence seemed a little familiar. Zhang Jiuyang suddenly felt guilty. He seemed to have just said this in front of Yue Ling not long ago.

Fortunately, Yue Ling didn’t know, otherwise…

He shook his head. He was just giving a gift to a friend. Why did it seem like he was giving a house to his lover behind his wife's back?
Not really, not really.

The dragon girl's glazed eyes slightly raised and she looked behind Zhang Jiuyang. She wanted to say something, but then closed her mouth again.

"Just stay here and don't worry. Although I haven't told Yue Ling about this yet, even if she knew, she wouldn't have any objections, and she certainly wouldn't chase you away!"

"Even if she dares to force you away, I will help you—"

"Zhang Jiuyang."

The Dragon Girl suddenly interrupted him and said, "Do you want to ask where I was before you came?"

Zhang Jiuyang was a little confused. Was the topic change so abrupt?
But thinking of the Dragon Girl's temperament, he felt relieved and asked, "Where were you before you came here?"

"I'm in the Shen Mansion."

"In the Shen Mansion, the Shen Mansion is great—"

Zhang Jiuyang's voice suddenly stopped and his expression was shocked.

Wait, in the Shen Mansion?

"Yue Ling and I were talking about something when I heard you playing the White Dragon Song."

Zhang Jiuyang broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He thought he had done it perfectly, but he was actually trying to cover up his mistake.

"Then...then Yue Ling..."

His voice became particularly guilty, and at the same time he felt a murderous aura coming from behind him.

"It's right behind you."

The dragon girl was honest and said, "She didn't let me tell you, but after thinking about it, I was still afraid that you would be beaten to death."

Zhang Jiuyang was cold all over, his limbs were stiff, and he slowly turned around and looked behind him.

Under the moonlight, a heroic beauty wearing heavy armor and a long sword at her waist stood out. Her tall body was very straight, but there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent between her brows.

She looked like a female general carved out of cold jade.

"Zhang Jiuyang, you've promised a lot."

"Is this what you call... finishing touches?"

In an instant, Zhang Jiuyang felt as if he was struck by lightning.

It’s over, it’s overturned!

"Ao Li, save me!"

The Dragon Girl took a step forward and stood in front of him, which finally made Zhang Jiuyang relax a little. Fortunately, the two of them had never gotten along well. With Ao Li around, he wouldn't have to suffer physical pain.

However, the next moment, that ethereal voice sounded.

"Don't hit me too hard, or I won't be able to help him."

"Don't worry, I'll save his life."

"Good."

Zhang Jiuyang: “???”

Well... what the hell!!!

Ao Li, when did you betray me?
Suddenly, he remembered that when Yue Ling mentioned Ao Li on the second floor of Mo Yun Study, her tone seemed much softer than before, and she even reminded him to inform Ao Li so as not to let him worry.

The relationship between the two women seemed to have undergone some qualitative leap after the battle at Shenju Mountain.

"Zhang Jiuyang, she also saved me when I fought with Painted Skin before."

The dragon girl moved away and looked at Zhang Jiuyang with some apology.

In the battle of Shenju Mountain, Yue Ling was brave and fearless, and rescued her many times during the battle. Although she also rescued Yue Ling, after careful calculation afterwards, she found that it was Yue Ling who saved her more times.

And it has to be admitted that anyone who becomes a comrade-in-arms with Yue Ling and fights side by side with him will be infected by his personal charm.

She is the fiercest sword and the strongest shield, and she will never give up on any of her teammates.

That unyielding fighting spirit will invisibly infect and inspire everyone.

Even with Dragon Girl's aloof personality, she still had a lot of favorable impressions of Yue Ling.

Zhang Jiuyang sighed, feeling deeply distressed. He looked at Yue Ling and said, "For the sake of the gift, be gentle."

"it is good."

Yue Ling stretched out his hands and clapped his hands. The heavy armor was removed and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, which made Zhang Jiuyang's eyelids twitch.

She was wearing a red battle robe that fluttered gently in the night breeze. "Today I am taking off my armor to test your progress during this period of time."

As she spoke, she slowly drew out the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

"Don't say I'm bullying you, a broken sword is enough."

"No, a broken sword... is also a sword!"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you use your hand knife?"

"it is good!"

To his surprise, Yue Ling sheathed the Dragon Sparrow Knife, and then used his palm as a knife, with golden flames lingering on his skin, and lightly scratched the big rock next to him.

Click!
A crisp sound was heard, and the big stone was actually cut directly in half. The cut was not only smooth, but also charred as charcoal.

Zhang Jiuyang immediately took a breath of cold air.

“Wait—Ah!!”

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhuge Yunhu finally ended his retreat.

He already had old injuries, and this time he had new injuries, so he stayed in seclusion for such a long time to heal his injuries before he finally recovered.

I don't know what happened to Zhang Jiuyang...

He pushed open the door and was stunned.

Under the morning sun, the courtyard is peaceful and full of vitality.

Two little girls are playing a strange game. One of them is the little ghost girl beside Zhang Jiuyang, and the other one is actually... a baby dragon?
They were seen standing at both ends, using their feet to kick Qingji like a shuttlecock towards each other.

It was fine at first, but as the little girl that the baby dragon transformed into became more and more focused and used more and more strength, things started to go wrong.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, bending the flowers and plants around and rolling up countless fallen leaves, like a dragon.

boom!
Ah Li didn't catch it properly, and Qingji was smashed deeply into the wall, cracks appeared everywhere, and he had fainted.

Two figures stood quietly at the door of the room, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Zhang Jiuyang?"

Zhuge Yunhu took a deep look at one of the figures and said, "It looks like you've suffered a lot. Although you're seriously injured, you're lucky to be able to come back alive."

Zhang Jiuyang looked bruised and swollen. Although they were only flesh wounds, he still looked quite miserable.

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling looked a little embarrassed.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Zhuge, I know you are doubting me, wondering if I have put on the Painted Skin and become the Painted Skin Master's man. Actually, that's not the case."

After a pause, he said word by word: "I am not the Painted Skin Master's man, I am the Painted Skin Master."

For a moment, Zhuge Yunhu was stunned.

"what is going on?"

After all, he was the current supervisor, a great monk famous throughout the world. Although there were waves in his heart, his face was as calm as a lake, and he continued to look at Zhang Jiuyang quietly.

Without waiting for Zhang Jiuyang to speak, Yue Ling explained the whole story one by one.

Zhuge Yunhu listened carefully, and only looked at Zhang Jiuyang after she finished speaking, and keenly discovered the loophole.

"You are only at the third level, how can you stop the Painted Skin Master's soul from taking over your body?"

Zhang Jiuyang did not speak, but opened one eye between his eyebrows, which was shining with golden light and glaring with fiery eyes, exuding an awe-inspiring divine power.

Zhuge Yunhu finally showed a look of shock.

"Heavenly Eyes?"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and took the opportunity to use his divine eye to look at Zhuge Yunhu.

It’s not that he is suspicious, but what he is about to say next is crucial. If there is something wrong with Zhuge Yunhu, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although the possibility was very small, he still had to see it in person to feel at ease.

The air was filled with clear air and great merit, with a faint air of immortal rising. It could be seen that the other party's cultivation was extremely high, and he was an orthodox Xuanmen person, without the slightest bit of evil.

His whole body is pure and upright, without any karma, and even without any black energy, which shows that Senior Zhuge usually sets very high standards for himself.

Don't do evil, no matter how small it is.

The only strange thing is that although his aura is as majestic as a canopy and his merits are extremely high, he still reveals a sense of vanity.

It's like a castle in the air, a tree without roots.

It could collapse at any time.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Jiuyang felt relieved.

Senior Zhuge had once fought with Tianzun and was seriously injured afterwards. He has not recovered till now and the injuries often relapse. It is estimated that his foundation was damaged.

In short, I hope there is no problem, Senior Zhuge.

He put away his Sky Eye and said, "With the help of the Sky Eye and some of my other tricks, I was able to defeat the Painted Skin Master by chance and conquer his forces."

"That is to say, now you are not only Zhang Jiuyang, but also Yama Luo, and... the Painted Skin Master."

Zhuge Yunhu finally understood why he called himself the Master of Painted Skin.

For a moment, this great monk in the sixth realm found it difficult to calm down.

He is a smart man and can naturally judge the truth from the false. What Zhang Jiuyang said cannot be false because this matter is too absurd.

It's so ridiculous that even the Painted Skin owner himself couldn't have imagined it.

A young cultivator at the third realm not only developed the third eye, but also killed a catastrophic evil spirit possessed by the skin of an immortal?
No one would believe it if you told them.

Moreover, the Heavenly Eye cannot lie. The god-like flaming eyes just now were upright and awe-inspiring, and they were definitely not something that an evil person could cultivate.

The third eye is the most intuitive reflection of a person’s nature. The kind of Tao one practices determines the kind of third eye one has.

Of course, Zhuge Yunhu also guessed that Zhang Jiuyang must have other secrets, otherwise the Sky Eye alone would not be enough to defeat the Painted Skin Master, but he did not ask any further questions.

As long as they are sure that the other party has no problems, they will stop at the right time. This is a kind of wisdom and also the tacit understanding between him and Zhang Jiuyang.

Zhang Jiuyang didn't say anything, and he wouldn't ask.

"I guess, Xiaojiu, you must have encountered something important and wanted to discuss it with me, so you told me this specifically."

"With your current strength and power, there aren't many things you can't solve. I guess it must be related to Huang Quan. Which one of them is giving you a problem again?"

Zhuge Yunhu stroked his beard, smiling, his eyes shining brightly.

"Senior Zhuge is really amazing. He guessed it right at once. The person who gave me a difficult question this time..."

"It's Tianzun."

In an instant, the light in Zhuge Yunhu's eyes faded, and those bright eyes shook violently. The confidence and composure were gone, replaced by solemnity and depth.

This is a name he has kept in his heart for decades.

Originally, he was a late bloomer and was about to step into the seventh realm and restore the glory of the Zhuge family. However, because of this name, his journey to success came to an abrupt halt and was broken halfway.

Over the years, no one in the Imperial Observatory even dared to mention this name in front of him.

Zhang Jiuyang looked directly into his eyes, and every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful.

"Senior Zhuge, I wonder if you still have the ambition and passion you had when you were young to compete with Tianzun again?"
