The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 213: Dragon Binding Rope, Blessing from the Spiritual Officer

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the statue in the Lingguan Temple. In a trance, the statue's eyes seemed to move, and it lowered its eyes slightly to look at him.

In an instant, he seemed to become Him.

A magical power was growing in his body, but it was not violent. Instead, it made him feel warm inside, as if bestowing him some kind of fortune.

But it is not a direct improvement in cultivation, but something that is difficult to explain.

In the Lingguan Temple, the believers were suddenly shocked, an indescribable emotion spread in their hearts, tears filled their eyes, and they kept bowing, as if they were on pilgrimage.

This ordinary Lingguan Temple seemed to become spiritual in an instant and turned into a Taoist temple.

Boom!

Suddenly, thunder struck the clear sky. Bolts of lightning fell and struck the bricks on the roof of the temple. At first, some people were terrified, but later they found that not only was the Lingguan Temple still standing, but the bricks and tiles on the roof had turned into red gold after being baptized by thunder!

Thunder and Fire Alchemy Peak!
"A miracle! A miracle!"

"The Spiritual Officer has appeared!"

"Please pray for the safety of my family..."

The believers became even more devout, their eyes fanatical.

Some people also noticed Zhang Jiuyang standing tall under the statue, and found that the handsome young man in white had closed his eyes at some point, but his majesty not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger.

"The innate commander, the One-Qi God. The great spiritual officer who supervises the heavens, the selfless and fierce officer of the Three Realms. With golden eyes and red hair, he is called the Thunder God of Three-Five Fire Trains. With a phoenix mouth and silver teeth, he commands millions of Pixiu gods. He soars through the clouds and commands thunder. He brings rain and clears the sky, and drives away evil spirits and cures diseases..."

A majestic voice sounded in Zhang Jiuyang's sea of ​​consciousness, like thunder.

He was overjoyed, it was indeed the Lingguan Treasure Edict!
With this precious edict in hand, it is like having a killer weapon that can overturn the chessboard, and he no longer has to walk on a tightrope all the time.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the three-eyed spiritual official with golden armor, red robe, red face and tiger beard did not disappear immediately after reciting the precious edict. Instead, he turned his gaze and looked at Zhang Jiuyang.

Uncontrollably, Zhang Jiuyang's soul also opened its third eye.

In an instant, the two flaming eyes looked at each other from a distance, with the same blazing flames and the same scorching sun.

In a trance, Zhang Jiuyang fell into some kind of illusion again.

He was not surprised but happy. It was the same operation and the same cheating method.

Lord Lingguan is really generous!

However, this time, the Wang Lingguan in the picture did not even have the third eye, but was wearing golden armor, a red robe, a yellow turban and green boots. He looked extremely angry and powerful.

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. This should be what happened before Wang Lingguan met Master Sa.

Sure enough, he saw Wang Lingguan holding a golden whip, soaring into the sky and whipping a dragon to make it rain.

The scene was extremely spectacular. Countless real dragons were silenced by his golden whip and were completely subdued, just like a group of kittens.

Zhang Jiuyang recalled a passage in "The True Scripture of Wang Lingguan, the Train Master", which said that Wang Lingguan was the head of the Southern Dipper Star Palace, the Fire Master, who could throw thousands of layers of fire and burn for thousands of miles. He could also melt the fire and fly across the universe, and his achievements were inestimable.

So the Jade Emperor summoned him and ordered him to whip the dragon to make it rain and to spread moisture. The evil dragon used tendons in his sleeves and tied them around his waist to show his bravery. A temple was built in Xiangtan to intimidate the area and people offered sacrifices to him as if he were present.

If he guessed correctly, the evil dragon would appear soon.

As expected, in the scene, Wang Lingguan discovered an old dragon that violated the laws of heaven. This dragon did not bring rain according to the laws of heaven, causing rivers on earth to burst their banks and huge waves.

Wang Lingguan suddenly became furious. He roared like thunder and heavenly fire surged from his body. He skinned the old dragon and pulled out its tendons. He then wrapped the dragon's tendons around his body, tempered them with heavenly fire, and engraved them with heavenly fire characters, turning them into a mighty dragon-binding rope.

Dragon rope!
Seeing this, Zhang Jiuyang understood Wang Lingguan’s deep meaning.

He deliberately demonstrated the process of refining the Dragon Binding Rope, probably because he knew that he happened to have a dragon tendon in his body, and was also an evil dragon.

Zhang Jiuyang was delighted, as this was a great treasure. Although it was not Wang Lingguan's signature golden whip, he was not good at using a whip. The Dragon Binding Rope was different, as it could catch the attacker by surprise and trap the opponent in the blink of an eye.

If he could even tie up a real dragon, what about humans?

The picture stopped abruptly. Wang Lingguan nodded to him, then walked into the painting again, motionless, and the astonishing divine power disappeared.

Zhang Jiuyang knew that He was silently waiting for the call from Lingguan Baozhao.

When he recites the precious edict and invites the gods to descend to the world, this visualization picture will be turned over and a new visualization picture will be obtained.

There is no specific rule for changing the visualization picture, but one thing is that it should follow the principle of becoming stronger and stronger. The gods in the later visualization pictures should be stronger than the previous ones.

Of course, this is just Zhang Jiuyang's guess and may not be accurate.

I wonder which familiar god will be in the next visualization picture?

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Jiuyang's gaze showed a hint of enlightenment. He looked at his hands, carefully feeling the power left by Wang Lingguan.

The upper, middle and lower dantians were all warm, especially the purple palace and mud pill, as if there was a furnace burning.

It wasn't that Wang Lingguan was forcing him to improve his cultivation by force, but that he was using his divine power to transform his body and plant a trace of divinity in him.

This thing is not very useful under normal circumstances, but if it is combined with the divine edict, it will be different.

If the true God does not appear in your body, then the person who appears in your body is not the true God.

Normally, a righteous deity like Wang Lingguan would not possess a person because the human body is too fragile and the divine power is too strong. If one is not careful, the human body will suffer serious damage.

This is why Zhang Jiuyang chose to cast a statue to invite the gods after obtaining the Lingguan Treasure Edict.

Although it is possible to invite the gods to descend to the world, the process becomes very cumbersome and requires an altar to be opened and rituals to be performed. If there is no one to guard, the ceremony may be interrupted before the gods can be invited.

When fighting Blind Lin, Yue Ling was there to support him, but he couldn't guarantee that Yue Ling would be by his side every time.

But now it’s different. With the transformation of divine power and the addition of divinity, he seems to have become the incarnation of god, walking on the earth, and can use himself as a medium to invite gods to possess him!

This can save a lot of tedious steps.

Zhang Jiuyang was somewhat excited. This time he had a great harvest. Not only did he obtain the Lingguan Treasure Edict and improve the method of summoning gods, he also obtained the method of refining the Dragon Binding Rope.

It seems that his choice to receive inheritance in Lingguan Temple was absolutely the right one!
Zhang Jiuyang was thoughtful. Building a temple for the gods seemed to be a good choice. It would not only collect incense, but also make those big guys happy, so that they would be given more inheritance. Every god was a treasure. Although the visualization map was his golden finger, how much he could dig out seemed to depend on his personal efforts.

Zhang Jiuyang felt that he had a new understanding of the visualization diagram. It was a pity that he did not discover it when he was visualizing Zhong Kui's diagram, otherwise he should have been able to get more.

"Big brother, can you tell me a fortune?"

A little girl, holding the fortune stick she had drawn in front of the statue, timidly came to Zhang Jiuyang and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Zhang Jiuyang came back to his senses and looked at the little girl.

It is almost winter now. Although it is warm in Yangzhou and there is no snow all year round, the temperature has dropped and most pilgrims are wearing cotton clothes.

However, a few pieces of straw leaked out from the worn cotton-padded jacket that the little girl was wearing.

Her father looked a little frightened, his clothes were very thin, and he seemed to be from a poor family.

Zhang Jiuyang noticed that the little girl looked very bad, her face was pale and bloodless, but her eyes were full of hope.

"of course can."

"Big brother, do you charge for interpreting the divination? I don't have any money, can I use this?"

She took out a few wild hawthorns that had been wiped very clean from her arms. One of them still had a faint tooth mark on it. I guess she wanted to eat it, but she held back.

Her father lowered his head with shame on his face, but there was nothing he could do because all the money he had today had been used to burn incense.

"Okay, how do you know I like to eat hawthorns? But one is enough."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly, took a hawthorn, and put it directly into his mouth without wiping it. Although it was sour and astringent, his expression remained calm.

"Let me see your signature."

"Like a swan that has flown into a cage, it wants to turn around but cannot. It is difficult to get out from the north, south, east and west. This hexagram is really frightening and full of hatred."

The smile on Zhang Jiuyang's face paused slightly.

A very bad hexagram. It is like a swan thrown into a cage. The six jia evil spirits are strong, and one cannot move forward or backward. Everything is more false than real.

"What do you want, little girl?"

"Please be safe. I want to know when I can recover from my illness."

Because of her illness, her parents have spent a lot of money, and the family hasn't had a full meal for a long time.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly when he heard this, threw the stick away, took the stick tube, and said, "This one doesn't count, you continue to shake it."

The man was a little surprised and asked, "Can this be shaken a second time?"

Zhang Jiuyang said calmly: "If I say yes, then yes."

The little girl smiled immediately. In fact, she could feel from her father's expression that she had not drawn a good lot.

Once, twice, three times...

The fourth time she finally drew a good lot.

"When spring comes, thunder roars and all insects chirp. I turn around and leave the mud. I know how to come and go. One day I transform into a dragon."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said, "Congratulations, this is a very good sign."

"This hexagram is an image of thunder and insects. It is a good omen to meet a noble person in everything. As the saying goes, thunder and lightning turn the time, and both coming in and going out exist. Once the changes come, they will reach the gate of heaven."

The little girl blinked and said, "Leifa...was that the thunder that just struck?"

Zhang Jiuyang laughed and said, "Yes, it was the thunder that just struck. It was the thunder attracted by the Spirit Officer. It has driven away all the bad luck on you. I believe your illness will be cured soon."

As he spoke, he pinched the Lingguan Seal with his hand and gently tapped the girl's brow.

All of a sudden, the little girl seemed to hear thunder again.

"Go back, Lord Lingguan will protect you."

If there were a cultivator who knew how to read qi at this moment, he would have discovered that with Zhang Jiuyang's slight touch, the girl's luck had undergone a drastic change.

Before, he was plagued by illness and death, and was almost at the end of his rope. However, with a bolt of lightning, everything was renewed, just like a dead tree sprouting leaves and a sick tree coming back to life.

Although her illness had not yet been cured, her luck had changed and her fate had taken a turn for the better.

The man took his daughter, thanked Zhang Jiuyang and went down the mountain. He was skeptical in his heart, but when he thought of the wonders of the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Peak today, he still felt a glimmer of hope.

It is said that the Lingguan Temple here is very effective. Now my family can no longer afford medicine, so I hope that the Lingguan Lord can bless us.

Not long after, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw an old man with a white beard who sprained his foot. The man was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the old man walking with difficulty, so he carried him on his back for ten miles.

It turned out that the old man was a famous doctor who lived in seclusion from the world. He saw the girl's condition at a glance and was willing to treat her free of charge.

The man was stunned there. The white-robed priest in Lingguan Temple suddenly appeared in his mind, and his words seemed to ring in his ears again.

"Thunder turns when it strikes, and it exists in both in and out. It changes in one day, and reaches the gate of heaven."

Could it be that that person is really the spirit official who has descended to earth?

……

In the Lingguan Temple, Zhang Jiuyang closed his eyes and smiled slightly.

It seems that the ray of divinity hidden in the flesh is not completely useless besides being used to pray to the gods. It even has the ability to bless and change fortune.

It was an unexpected surprise.

After a moment, he found a secret room, took out Brown Three's dragon tendon, and his eyes flashed.

Next, try to refine the Dragon Binding Rope!
