The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 217: The Law of Heaven and Earth, Giant Turtle Carrying the Monument

Huangquan, Mount Yamafu.

Eight figures sat high on the throne.

"Why didn't the Painted Skin Master come?"

Shan Jun asked first, looking at the empty Eighth Throne with a puzzled tone in his voice.

In the past, the Painted Skin Master had never missed any Huangquan gathering, and every gathering would bring his favorite food, the heart.

It seems that I won’t be able to eat the heart this time.

The two-faced Buddha looked at Zhang Jiuyang and said calmly, "Then we have to ask Yama Luo."

Everyone's eyes were looking towards the ninth throne, where sat a figure in a black robe and a ghostly face. His eyes under the clouds were as red as jade, and had a kind of magical power that captivated people's hearts.

"I heard that Yan Luo also came to Yangzhou and had a conflict with the Painted Skin Master. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Zhang Jiuyang looked at him coldly, his ventriloquy sounding like thunder.

"died."

Instantly, the pupils of the Two-Faced Buddha condensed, but he immediately shook his head and laughed, "Yan Luo is joking. If the owner of Painted Skin dies, the Yellow Spring Order will definitely choose a new owner. Then, what will come today will not only be the Tenth Heavenly Stem."

Zhang Jiuyang snorted coldly and said, "He was lucky to have escaped with his life. He is probably recovering from his injuries in some corner right now."

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

Some people were even more fearful, some looked excited, and some were indifferent.

The Two-Faced Buddha and the Tiger King felt solemn, and even the Moon Goddess took a deep look at Zhang Jiuyang. He was able to defeat the Painted Skin Master in his territory. The strength of this Yama was truly unfathomable.

I'm afraid he has already touched the threshold of the seventh realm.

"Old Nine, it has to be you!"

Lao Qi gave a thumbs up, looking proud, and said, "That's fucking awesome!"

"Yan Luo, we all belong to the underworld. Although the Painted Skin Master has plotted against you, you have also injured him twice. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Why don't we just let it go? How do you think?"

Shan Jun tried to mediate. Deep down he didn't want to see the Painted Skin Master being beaten to death. After all, only the Painted Skin Master would diligently help him collect hearts.

The two-faced Buddha also chanted a Buddhist name and said, "I think so too. You two are both pillars of the underworld. Why don't you make peace and keep yourselves separate from each other from now on? What do you think, Yama?"

Facing the two Heavenly Stems' request, Zhang Jiuyang said calmly, "This old fox is average in ability, but he is good at escaping. I don't have the time to chase him anymore. As long as he doesn't get in my way, I won't bother with him anymore."

"Of course, this is only for the sake of the two of you. If the Painted Skin Master dares to provoke me again, then no matter who asks for mercy, I will not hold back."

Although the Tiger King and the Two-Faced Buddha are not in his small circle, Zhang Jiuyang should not make too many enemies, and he should still give them the face he deserves.

Through the Painted Skin Master, he has successfully established prestige within Huangquan, but if he wants to become a leader, prestige alone is not enough, he must also learn to use both kindness and force.

He did the two of them a favor today so that he could use it to ease the relationship or even divide them in the future.

The two-faced Buddha and the tiger looked at each other and seemed to be relieved.

Especially the tiger, he felt a little proud and honored.

No matter how domineering and arrogant Yan Luo is, he still has to give him some face, so that this king of all heavens can feel proud and secretly happy.

For a moment, I developed a lot of favorable feelings towards Yan Luo.

"Haha, when next year's Tongtian Banquet comes, you must come, my brother Yan Luo. I will treat you as a distinguished guest and use the best treasures to entertain you!"

This is the benefit of Zhang Jiuyang establishing his authority. If a person who is usually overbearing and indifferent softens his attitude a little, people will be flattered.

And those nice-to-have people, even if they do a lot of good things, are hard to be seen or respected by others.

"I haven't finished yet."

The hostility in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes suddenly gathered, and he said, "I told him not to bother me, so I don't want to see him at the next Huangquan Banquet, otherwise, I will kill him anyway."

The two-faced Buddha hesitated for a moment and said, "Yan Luo, is it——"

"There is no point in discussing this. After all, I feel sick just by looking at him."

The two-faced Buddha sighed and said, "I will help you convey it."

He was a little worried that the Painted Skin Master would become angry and retaliate against Yan Luo, causing the conflict to escalate to an unresolvable point.

Zhang Jiuyang stopped talking, but sighed softly in his heart.

The Painted Skin Lord and Yama Luo are destined not to appear in the underworld at the same time. He can only try to delay it now, and he must think of a way to solve this problem in the future.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Lao Qi rolled his eyes and began to change the subject.

"Old Nine, I heard there will be a new person coming this time, so you will be in charge of the assessment. How is it? Have you met the new person?"

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it either."

He was also very curious about the Tenth Heavenly Stem. What on earth was the evil spirit that escaped from the tomb in Shenju Mountain?
During this period, the Imperial Observatory also checked, but found nothing.

The evil spirit seemed to have disappeared suddenly, like a drop in the ocean, without causing any noise or committing any murder.

Seems very honest.

But Zhang Jiuyang knew that the person who could escape from that big tomb and be chosen by Tianzun as the tenth heavenly stem was definitely not a simple person.

He had a vague feeling that if he could figure out the secret of the Tenth Heavenly Stem, perhaps he would be one step closer to the truth.

"Strange, why aren't you here yet?"

"This new guy is even more arrogant than you, Old Nine!"

Lao Qi couldn't help but grumble.

Zhang Jiuyang remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, the Yellow Spring at the foot of the mountain suddenly began to stir, and everyone's expressions changed.

coming!

Just like Zhang Jiuyang before, a small boat quietly surfaced, but the boat was empty and no one was seen.

did not come?
Zhang Jiuyang frowned slightly. His plans were all based on the assessment task of the Tenth Heavenly Stem. If the other party did not come, it would completely disrupt his plans.

Almost the whole plate was wasted.

He looked at Tianzun and found that the other party did not seem surprised at all and was very calm.

"wake up."

The voice of Tianzun suddenly sounded, shaking the entire Mount Yamabu, as if awakening something.

The next moment, a figure on the boat moved.

Is that a... palm-sized turtle?

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes narrowed. Just now, this turtle was hiding in the corner of the boat, looking like a dead object, so he ignored it.

The little turtle crawled with difficulty and rolled off the boat to the shore, looking very embarrassed.

"What a joke, the tenth Heavenly Stem is actually a little turtle that hasn't transformed yet?"

The seventh brother immediately became angry, feeling as if he had been humiliated, and shouted, "Tianzun, if this thing can be ranked on par with us, then we should just break up today. This is not Huangquan, it's just a circus, right?"

"Look at its short legs. Even if we let it go up the mountain, it will take it half a year to climb!"

The other Heavenly Stems also looked puzzled.

This turtle looks ordinary and funny. Why does it have the qualifications to become the tenth heavenly stem?
Tianzun did not say anything, but just looked at the turtle quietly.

Zhang Jiuyang knew that this turtle must have some magical properties, so he quietly opened his third eye under the mask.

The next moment, his heart was shaken.

This is……

How can it be? ! !

On this little turtle, he actually saw a monument, a huge stone monument that shook the sky and the earth, just like the towering Kunlun Mountain, the pillar supporting the sky.

There seemed to be ancient and mysterious seal characters on the stone tablet, just like heavenly books. Zhang Jiuyang wanted to see the words clearly, but found that even his heavenly eyes were obscured by a layer of dazzling light.

Only a few ancient words can be vaguely seen.

"Heaven, Dao, Desolation..."

Every stroke of the hand is filled with a desolate atmosphere, as if it has stretched from the beginning of the world to the present day, containing an ancient and terrifying aura.

It cannot be seen without the divine eye.

Even with the Heavenly Eye, one can only vaguely see this Heavenly Monument, but cannot make out the contents on it.

But his intuition told him that the things on this monument were extremely important. Even the visualization diagram in Zhang Jiuyang's sea of ​​consciousness vibrated slightly, as if it was intentionally reminding him.

We must find out the secret of the Heavenly Monument!
Zhang Jiuyang looked at Tianzun deeply. It was certain that Tianzun must have a divine eye. The reason why he chose this turtle as the tenth heavenly stem was probably because of this heavenly monument!
"My name is... Bantian."

A powerful and desolate voice sounded. It was obviously the voice of a little turtle, but the voice sounded old and very old, echoing among the mountains.

"Up the mountain?"

“Do we still need to climb such a small mountain?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little turtle's figure continued to grow larger, ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet, fifty feet, and one hundred feet!

In a few breaths, a giant turtle a hundred feet long appeared beside Mount Yamafu. Its body was so huge that it even overshadowed Mount Yamafu. Its shell was like an island, its limbs were like mountains, and its two brown eyes had star-like spots.

Supernatural powers——the laws of heaven and earth!
The terrifying and oppressive feeling of facing the giant makes one's scalp tingle and a chill goes straight to the top of one's head.

Even before going up the mountain, I could already look down at the people on the mountain.

"Oh my god, here comes another tough guy!"

Lao Qi swallowed and felt his heartbeat quickening.

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes focused. This seemed to be the legendary magical power that controlled the heavens and the earth. No wonder it could carry the Heavenly Monument.

This magical power is extraordinary. According to legend, Erlang Shen is very good at it. His physical body can reach a height of ten thousand feet, and he has the power to pluck stars and grab the moon, move mountains and stir the seas. He can be said to have achieved sainthood in the flesh.

Before, Shen Tu Xiong was also able to grow bigger, but he could only grow to a few feet tall at most. His combat power was already greatly enhanced, which was called "size as desired".

That was his trump card, but compared with this method of controlling the heavens and the earth, it was really not worth mentioning.

"The one who said my legs are short, do you want to fight with me?"

The giant turtle's spitting sound was deafening, and it even stirred up a gust of wind, blowing up dust on Mount Yamabu.

Everyone looked at Lao Qi.

Lao Qi coughed and said, "Of course I'm not afraid of fighting, but I asked someone to tell my fortune today and it's not appropriate to kill, so I'll let you go for now."

The giant turtle continued, "If you don't want to fight, tell me a joke."

Everyone was stunned.

"I like sleeping and listening to jokes the most. If you can make me laugh, I won't use my short legs to crush your head."
