The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 214: The King of Ming trains his troops, the clan robs tombs

Lingguan Temple, backyard.

The sound of a dragon's roar could be heard faintly, but ordinary people could not hear it. Only those who had cultivated magical powers could hear the dragon-like roar.

The temple keeper was a cultivator of the first realm. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually feeling uneasy in his heart.

I don’t know what my son-in-law was doing in the backyard. Why was there a dragon roar?
Just hearing the dragon's roar, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, and his body was shaking slightly.

Although the pilgrims who came to worship could not hear the dragon's roar, they also felt a slight sense of oppression. Those with sharp eyes even discovered that many insects and ants were moving away in groups.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud noise suddenly came from the backyard, and then the entire Yuquan Mountain trembled slightly, and rocks flew all around, but the temple seemed to be protected by divine power and remained motionless.

The temple keeper quickly ran to the backyard and saw that the house that had just been built had collapsed. Black smoke was coming out of the ground and there were obvious signs of burning.

It was as if it had experienced an earthquake and a wildfire.

It’s over, my son-in-law is still in there!
The temple keeper's face turned pale. He was arranged by Old Madam Shen, so he naturally knew Zhang Jiuyang's position in the Shen family. He was the future son-in-law and the eldest lady's future husband!

If anything unexpected really happened to him, he would be doomed to death.

Wow!

Just as he was about to start digging, a figure emerged from the rubble. There were burnt marks on his white clothes, which were covered in dust and his wig almost flew off. He looked very disheveled.

Zhang Jiuyang coughed a few times, but what came out was black smoke.

He held the trembling dragon tendon tightly in his hand, as if he was pinching a poisonous snake, and it took a long time for it to slowly calm down.

The attempt to refine the Dragon Binding Rope failed.

In his illusion, he saw Wang Lingguan pull out the dragon tendon and easily refine it into the Dragon Binding Rope. He thought the process was not difficult and should be similar to the Ghost-Slaying Sword.

But what he didn't expect was that refining the Dragon Binding Rope was countless times more difficult than refining the Ghost Slaying Sword.

The Demon-Slaying Sword is based on the Taiyue Sword. Although Taiyue is a famous sword handed down from generation to generation, it is ultimately a dead object. However, the dragon tendons of Brown Three are different. They contain the murderous aura of a demon dragon.

He tried to use heavenly fire to refine the dragon's tendons, but it aroused the evil spirit within them, causing water and fire to be incompatible and an explosion occurred.

If he had not activated the Immortal Golden Body in time, he would probably have been seriously injured.

To sum it up in one sentence, if your cultivation is not good enough, you cannot subdue the evil spirit of the dragon.

Zhang Jiuyang showed a bitter smile on his face. It turned out that cultivation was the most fundamental thing for a person. If one's cultivation was not enough, no matter how great his supernatural powers were, he would not be able to refine even a magic weapon.

We must break through the fourth realm as soon as possible!

With a determined look in his eyes, he walked forward, patted the temple keeper on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's not your fault. I will tell Madam Shen in person."

After saying that, he transformed himself into a cloud and flew into the sky, drifting towards the Shen family.

The temple keeper was stunned by this scene. Although he was a cultivator, due to his low level of Taoism, he had never seen the art of flying. Today was an eye-opener for him.

……

Shen family.

When Zhang Jiuyang turned into a cloud and floated over the Shen family, he was surprised to find Yue Ling was there too.

She had gone to check the file and had disappeared for several days. Unexpectedly, she suddenly came back today and was teaching A Li, Ao Ya and Qing Ji how to fight.

The teaching process was very simple and crude. She wore heavy armor and did not draw her sword. She asked A Li, Ao Ya and Qing Ji to work together to besiege her.

Then they exploded one by one.

Even Ao Ya, who had the strongest body, was beaten to tears by her.

"Do you know why Zhang Jiuyang went out without you?"

"Because you are too weak."

Yue Ling made no moves and punched Ao Ya, who had turned into a black dragon, flying away. He did not dodge the pink kitchen knife that was flying at him from behind, nor did he even turn his head to look at it. He just stretched out his hand and caught Ah Li's flying knife as fast as lightning without any hesitation.

Even as she exerted a little force with her palm, the pink kitchen knife, which had already been given spirituality, let out a mournful cry.

"It's so weak and powerless. It's really embarrassing for the evil spirits."

After saying that, she waved gently.

boom! ! !
Before Ah Li could blink, the wind from the knife passed through her bangs, and the rockery behind her was cut in half by the kitchen knife. The shattered rocks fell to the ground and quickly turned into powder.

That is a unique kind of shocking force.

It's just too fast.

Ali could only see a blurry afterimage.

The mace that Qingji was waving stopped in the air. He was sweating profusely. It was horrible, too horrible.

Yue Ling flicked his finger and sent him flying, embedding him into the wall like a cannonball.

"With your strength, you will only hinder Zhang Jiuyang. Ah Li, you have been slacking off recently."

Yue Ling's eyes were as cold as knives, and he was intimidating without even getting angry. His cloak fluttered behind him, and the aura of swords and horses was overwhelming, with a very frightening momentum.

The handsome and heroic features became even more majestic and dignified, making it difficult to look directly at him.

"If you want to keep up with Zhang Jiuyang, you must continue to practice hard. Get up and practice!"

In an instant, the three little guys hurriedly practiced according to her requirements. Ao Ya ran in circles with a big stone on his back, Qingji practiced stick techniques in the water, and Ali practiced sword techniques seriously.

In front of Yue Ling, who had a powerful aura, no one dared to raise any objection.

Seeing this scene, Yue Ling nodded slightly, and a hint of relief flashed in her starry eyes.

In her opinion, Ali and the other two all had great potential, but Zhang Jiuyang was too gentle towards them, which made them a little lazy.

If he can be trained strictly, he will definitely become a great help to Zhang Jiuyang in the future.

"Ali, your soldiers should not just stay in the altar to train. Since they are an army, they should pay attention to battle formation and coordination. Only in this way can the real power of the soldiers be brought into play."

"Tonight, release all your soldiers. I will teach you how to train them and how to deploy them. Remember, being the commander of an army is not just about charging into battle."

Yue Ling's voice was sonorous and resounding, and there were waves of emotion in those heroic eyes.

She was also a brave general who inspected troops on the battlefield. She was named Champion General by the previous emperor. She made many military achievements and was feared by the people on the border.

If it weren't for the bloody incident at the Duke's Mansion, she would probably not be the Marquis Minglie of the Imperial Observatory, but the Marquis Guanjun in the Jizhou Army.

At this moment, her expression changed, the Dharma Eye between her eyebrows opened, emitting a faint golden light, and she looked around.

Finding nothing unusual, she raised her head and looked at the sky.

"Who dares to spy on me with the magic of escape?"

With a clang, the long sword shot up into the sky like a meteor. It was not a dragon sparrow sword, but an ordinary goose feather sword.

The knife may be ordinary, but the person who throws it is a monster.

The sound of the sword was like a dragon, which turned into a cold light that shot up into the sky. The sword intent was extremely strong and masculine, and the sword energy was so powerful and fierce that it seemed as if it could poke a hole in the sky!

The target of this knife was actually a white cloud floating in the air.

That is naturally Zhang Jiuyang.

He was shocked. He didn't expect Yue Ling to be so sharp and his moves were as fast as lightning. He quickly used all his strength to activate the escape technique. He floated in the clouds and followed the wind, and narrowly avoided the knife.

Seeing that Yue Ling was still trying to attack, he quickly withdrew his escape technique, revealed his figure, and floated down from the sky. The previous knife strike was just a test, Yue Ling only used less than 30% of his strength, if he continued to strike, he would probably be killed by his own people first.

"Zhang Jiuyang?"

A strange light flashed in Yue Ling's eyes, and he said, "A-Li said that you have mastered the Thirteen Forms of Escape. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."

The Thirteen Forms of Escape is quite difficult. Even if she were to learn it, it would take at least ten days or half a month to get started. How much time does Zhang Jiuyang have?
"Where have you been? Why are you in such a mess?"

She looked at Zhang Jiuyang, who was covered in dust and even had large parts of his wig burnt, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Jiuyang's expression became serious, and he said, "Biming Mountain, Wanfu Tower."

"Let me tell you, I discovered an incredible secret this time—hiss!"

He suddenly felt pain and gasped.

Yue Ling twisted his ear fiercely and said coldly: "You dare to go to Wanfu Tower alone without even saying hello to me?"

"Do you know how many masters there are in Wan Fu Tower?"

"Do you know how much Sun Tianchi wants to kill you?"

"Do you really think that you can do whatever you want and go anywhere after mastering the Thirteen Forms of Escape? Do you know that the people who die most in dangerous places are those who think they are masters of escape techniques?"

"Wrong, wrong!"

"I know I was wrong, Sister Ling, be gentle!"

Zhang Jiuyang quickly admitted his mistake and promised many times that it would not happen again. Only then did Yue Ling finally let go of her hand.

He rubbed his red ears and looked at Yue Ling, whose pretty face was still frosty, feeling touched and amused.

Of course, he was not taking all risks. Apart from his successful training in the Thirteen Form Escapes, he also had the divine power of the Sky Eye and the Painted Skin undercover agent, so it wouldn't be a problem if he was more cautious.

Of course he would not make excuses, after all, Yue Ling was concerned about his safety.

"General Yue, if I really died in Wanfu Tower, what would you do?"

Yue Ling glanced at him and said calmly: "Not very good, at most I can help you collect the body."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and smiled, then continued the previous topic, saying, "You absolutely cannot imagine who I saw in Wanfu Tower!"

"Yes, I really can't imagine that the two-faced Buddha would be there."

Zhang Jiuyang's expression froze, and he looked at Yue Ling in disbelief.

No, the secret that he risked his life to see last night, is already known by Yue Ling?

Seeing his shocked look, Yue Ling smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate our Imperial Observatory. Once the traitor is eliminated, all major departments of the Imperial Observatory will be able to operate normally again."

"During this period, I have been investigating tomb robberies in various sects and found some clues. Don't forget that I have fought with the Two-Faced Buddha before, so I am quite familiar with him."

“Some of the bodies of the grave keepers vaguely resemble the work of the two-faced Buddha.”

The files that Zhuge Yunhu had taken out before were about the frequent tomb robberies that had occurred in recent times. Tomb robberies were not within the scope of the Imperial Observatory's responsibilities, but these tomb robberies were different, as they were all tombs of the sect's monks!

It mostly happened in some small and medium-sized sects. The tombs that were robbed were often those of the sect's cultivators who were at the third level or above. The brow bones and burial instruments were taken away.

At the end of the file, a key clue was revealed, and some magical weapons later appeared in the hands of Wanfu Tower disciples.

"I caught a few disciples of Wan Fu Lou. They were a bunch of spineless people. They told me everything before their knives were even sharpened."

"They said they were ordered by the headmaster to cooperate with a monk to rob tombs of various sects and dig out brow bones. However, recently, Sun Tianchi seemed to have noticed the attention of the Imperial Observatory and had asked them to stop temporarily."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved.

No wonder many disciples in Wanfu Tower have black energy coming out of their mouths, it turns out that everyone of them is a tomb robber.

My goodness! They not only dug out the brow bones of the elders of their own sect, but also set their sights on the tombs of other sects. However, Sun Tianchi was still rational and only chose small and medium-sized sects, and did not dare to touch the powerful sects.

Otherwise, if you fail, it will be a bloody battle.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at Yue Ling. He was indeed the smart and capable Minglie Hou. In just a few days, he had managed to follow the clues and find out so many things.

"At present, it seems that the Two-Faced Buddha has joined forces with Sun Tianchi to have some ulterior motives, but I still can't figure out two points for the time being."

"What two points?"

"First, Sun Tianchi is at least the head of a sect, and Wan Fu Lou is also a famous and upright sect. Why would he take the risk and seek revenge with Two-Faced Buddha?"

"Second, what exactly do they want to do with so many monks' brow bones?"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and said, "I don't know the answer to the first question, but I might be able to answer the second question."

Yue Ling raised her eyebrows when she heard this, her eyes brightened, and she waited for him to continue.

Zhang Jiuyang pointed at the sweaty and dirty San Xiao and said, "You have been training them for a long time, let them rest for a while."

Yue Ling showed a helpless smile and said, "You only know how to pamper them."

Shaking her head, she waved her hand and said, "Come back in an hour for more practice."

"Long live Brother Nine!"

Ali cheered.

Yue Ling glared at her and said, "Don't say such things casually."

If the words of long live the emperor are heard by someone with ulterior motives, it will cause trouble.

Ah Li said "Oh" and shouted again: "Ninth Brother, may you live for a thousand years!"

Zhang Jiuyang: “…”

After the three children skipped away, Zhang Jiuyang recounted all the scenes he had seen last night, with the focus on the human bone robe that was filled with extremely heavy karma.

"The human bone robe..."

Yue Ling chewed over these words, his brows filled with solemnity.

It goes without saying that this must be a very terrifying magic weapon. Why would the Two-Faced Buddha refine it?
"Don't worry. The Huangquan Banquet will be here in a few days. I'll find a chance to see if I can find out some inside information then."

He had another idea in his mind. If Yan Luo couldn't answer the question, he could try asking the Painted Skin Master to ask.

After all, the Painted Skin Master and the Two-Faced Buddha have frequent interactions and a close relationship.

"Don't be impulsive. Be careful of being discovered by the Two-Faced Buddha. That guy is very evil. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!"

"Understood. I'm going to bed now."

Zhang Jiuyang turned around. He hadn't slept all night and wanted to catch up on some sleep, but was grabbed by Yue Ling.

"Zhang Jiuyang, if the three of them don't train, it's your turn."

"No, let me get some sleep first."

"Why are you sleeping? What else do practitioners need? There will be eternal sleep after death!"

"Your cultivation is still too weak. With your strength, you will only hold me back. If you want to keep up with me, you must practice hard. Start meditating and circulating your Qi now. Hurry up!"

hiss!
Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath. How come it seemed like he had just heard these words not long ago?
He just felt sorry for those three little guys, and now it's his turn.

Okay, let’s practice!
If I can’t break through the virginity, can I break through the fourth level?
