The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 223 Riding a Whale into the Sea, the Dragon Girl Meets Taiyin
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Under the waterfall, Zhang Jiuyang slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with its edge fully exposed. The invisible aura slightly vibrated the surrounding water.

But the clothes were still quite wet.

Although his mouth always hurt, he still practiced diligently without slacking off even when Yue Ling was not around to supervise him.

My skills have improved a bit, which is roughly equivalent to one month of hard practice.

It has to be said that the practice method created by Yue Ling is quite magical, but it has extremely high requirements for both the mind and the body.

The sun did not rise today, and looking at the dark clouds above his head, Zhang Jiuyang sighed softly.

What needs to be faced must be faced, and one must go to the coast of the East China Sea. Once one obtains whale oil, one can refine agarwood and quickly break through to the fourth realm.

Secondly, he must confirm whether Taiyin is the Dragon Girl.

The East China Sea is not far from Yangzhou, but it is still several hundred miles away. Zhang Jiuyang did not use the cloud escape technique, but took out the jade flute and began to play "Qing Xiao Yin".

Now that you have a mount, you naturally have to use it. After all, this mount is currently limited in time.

The Qingluan was extremely fast. Before the song was over, a green light came through the clouds. The elegant and gorgeous Luan bird landed beside Zhang Jiuyang and squatted down.

There was no language or communication, as if it was just a routine.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly but didn't say anything. After all, the other party was forced to surrender and he felt a little resentful.

The most important thing is that he is only at the third level now. It is quite strange that the master's cultivation is lower than that of his mount.

Once your cultivation level improves, everything will be easy.

"Let's go to the East China Sea."

The blue phoenix flapped its wings, soared up, and disappeared into the clouds in a moment.

Zhang Jiuyang sat cross-legged on the back of the phoenix, his white clothes were extraordinary, his hair fluttering in the wind, making him look even more elegant, and his breath was even more lingering and deep, like a secluded valley.

He began to practice again, and in an instant he was able to forget his mind and enter a deep state of meditation.

In particular, he practiced the first miraculous skill of Taoism, "Yu Ding Xuan Gong". When he practiced the skills and circulated his qi, the Taoist rhythm was pure, grand and vast, ethereal and otherworldly. He also rode on a phoenix and flew into the sky. He really had some of the style of ancient immortals.

This made Qingluan look at him with a higher opinion.

Although his cultivation level is a little low, his foundation is very well polished, so his future achievements will probably not be bad.

Thinking of this way, it felt calmer and flew harder.

The journey of hundreds of miles would take two or three days by horse carriage, but with Qingluan's fast legs, they reached the coast of the East China Sea in less than two quarters of an hour.

Zhang Jiuyang heard the sound of waves.

He opened his eyes and saw a spectacular scene.

Under the vast sky, there is a boundless ocean. The water is a deep blue with waves gently rolling. Even though it is far away in the clouds, you can still smell the refreshing sea breeze.

The blue waves are rising up to the horizon, and seagulls are flying and dancing in the blue sky.

On the Tide-Watching Pavilion, Zhang Jiuyang floated down, but he was no longer dressed in white, but in a black robe with a ghost face, transforming into Yama.

The blue phoenix flapped its wings and flew towards its hometown deep in the sea, just like a social animal rushing home from get off work.

There was already a figure waiting quietly in the pavilion, dressed in white, with an ethereal air, and a white gauze hat on his head, covering his cold and beautiful face.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the figure with a complicated look in his eyes.

Before he could say anything, the other party had already taken off his hat. His glass-colored pupils were like pearls in the ocean, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Come so early?"

Zhang Jiuyang asked with a smile.

The fairy in white in the pavilion was naturally the Dragon Girl. Zhang Jiuyang had told her the location of the transaction before and agreed to meet at 3 p.m., but he didn't expect her to arrive at 5 p.m.

The dragon girl nodded and said, "There is no formation set up here in advance."

Zhang Jiuyang was startled. She was worried that there might be a trap here, so she came here alone in advance to take a look for him.

And I still doubt her...

"Zhang Jiuyang, if I accompany you to meet that Yellow Springs evil spirit, will it scare him?"

"Do you want me to hide in the dark?"

The dragon girl suddenly suggested.

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and said, "No need. Now everyone in Huangquan basically knows that you are my mount. There is nothing to be shy about. Just accompany me."

"Taiyin's cultivation is also quite good. If she finds you hiding in the dark, it will alert her and make her think that I have ill intentions."

Another most important reason is that Zhang Jiuyang wants to see whether Taiyin and Longnv can appear at the same time.

If they appeared at the same time, all speculations would naturally be refuted.

"I am not your mount."

Although she knew that Zhang Jiuyang only asked her to play this role temporarily, Longnv couldn't help but say it out loud. She cared about this very much.

"Of course not, I'm just pretending, pretending. I won't really ride you."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said, "After all, I don't want to die young."

The dragon girl hesitated for a moment, then put on her white gauze hat again and said very seriously: "It's not good to ride a dragon. It will reduce your luck."

"Zhang Jiuyang, if you want to ride a dragon, I will beat you."

"Ahem, by the way, how is Xiaoya doing recently? Ali misses her very much."

Zhang Jiuyang quickly changed the topic of riding a dragon. He couldn't help but think of another way to ride a dragon, which was a bit too blasphemous to the cold and elegant fairy in front of him. "She is a dragon after all, so she can't play around all the time. I'll let her stay at the bottom of Dongyang Lake for a few days to practice and improve her cultivation."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and wanted to continue speaking when suddenly, the waves in the distance changed.

The waves were surging, the wind was blowing, and the sea, which had been calm just a moment ago, had undergone some strange changes. Zhang Jiuyang faintly heard a deep and mysterious cry, which was getting louder and louder, and getting closer and closer.

The sound was deep and long, echoing on the sea and scaring away countless seagulls.

wow~
Amidst the raging waves, a huge monster like an island emerged from the water, spewing out streams of water.

Zhang Jiuyang's pupils trembled. That was... a whale!
In the deep sea, the whale is like a drifting island. It is huge in size, but not clumsy, but rather agile and graceful.

Wait... Taiyin is here!
Zhang Jiuyang's eyes focused, and he saw a vague and ethereal figure standing above the giant whale. It seemed that it was using some method to conceal its aura and appearance. There was glowing light and clouds and mist all around it, making it look very mysterious.

One can only vaguely make out her slender figure and cool temperament.

It is indeed Taiyin!
Zhang Jiuyang's spirits perked up. He glanced at the dragon girl beside him and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had finally fallen to the ground.

Great, Dragon Girl isn’t too sinister!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he felt relieved and relaxed.

The whale wandered in the sea and did not move forward.

"Taiyin, why don't you come up and have a chat?"

A deep, bell-like ventriloquy sounded, and Zhang Jiuyang invited Taiyin to enter the pavilion.

But Taiyin seemed a little alert. She bent her finger and the whale spit out pieces of yellow-white fat, which fell onto the shore.

"Yan Luo, these should be enough for you to use for a while. Remember, 30% of the agarwood."

An ethereal and misty voice sounded, it was indeed Taiyin's voice.

Seeing that Taiyin was about to leave on a whale, Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved and he said, "Tayin, thank you for your great support at the Huangquan gathering last time. If you need help in the future, you can come to me."

Although the connection of interests is strong, it still needs daily promotion and maintenance.

Moreover, Zhang Jiuyang was also very curious about Taiyin's identity. Since she was not the Dragon Girl, then who was she?
Why does it give me a familiar feeling?

Moreover, the giant whale in front of him was no simple beast. It was several times larger than an ordinary whale, with fangs in its huge mouth and a very powerful aura.

It’s comparable to a fifth-level demon!
However, it is very obedient to Taiyin and even willingly offers its precious oil.

"Thank you."

Taiyin did not reject Zhang Jiuyang's kindness. She nodded, then flicked her sleeves, and the giant whale immediately turned around and swam towards the vast deep sea.

He came on a whale and he left on a whale.

She is actually a very elegant and extraordinary woman.

Zhang Jiuyang put away his curiosity, smiled, looked at Long Nu and said: "It seems that everything is going well, let's collect the grease and go back."

"Good."

The dragon girl nodded and asked curiously, "Zhang Jiuyang, you look a little happy."

"Is it so obvious?"

She nodded and said, "Do you like the woman riding the whale just now?"

Zhang Jiuyang almost spit out his anger, and smiled helplessly: "What are you talking about? She is an evil spirit, or an evil spirit from the underworld, the kind with heinous crimes. Although we are temporarily allied, one day..."

He didn't finish his words, but his eyes were a little cold.

One day, he will not only kill evil spirits like the two-faced Buddha and the tiger, but also completely destroy the entire underworld.

Although Taiyin had supported him, they were enemies after all.

The dragon girl waved her long sleeves and collected the whale oil scattered on the ground. The weight of several hundred pounds seemed as light as a feather after entering her sleeves.

It has the charm of the world in the sleeves of the immortal Zhenyuan.

But Zhang Jiuyang knew that this was not a magical power, but a magic weapon.

The Dragon Girl's clothes were made of clouds from the nine heavens, and her cloud sleeves were refined by her into a magic weapon that could hide Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed, which was equivalent to a storage magic weapon.

This made Zhang Jiuyang very envious.

Up to now, he has not had any magic weapon for storage except for Ali's belly.

Different from the immortal cultivation novels I read in my previous life, in this world, magical storage tools are extremely rare, and each one is priceless.

Usually only the leaders of major sects can possess it, and it is a symbol of the identity and status of the monks.

As the director of the Imperial Observatory, Yue Ling did have one thing, but the space was not very big, equivalent to a small warehouse. But even so, it made many people envious.

It can be exchanged in the treasury of the Imperial Observatory, but the cheapest storage magic weapon costs 140,000 merits, which shows how precious it is.

"Let's go."

Zhang Jiuyang played Qing Xiao Yin again, attracting Qing Luan.

The other party looked depressed, just like a worker who was called to work overtime just after getting off work, but due to the contract, it could not refuse Zhang Jiuyang's call.

The Dragon Girl was flying in front, and Zhang Jiuyang was riding a phoenix behind, both of them were moving very fast.

Looking at the white dragon flying in the sea of ​​clouds ahead, Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly. It was really good that the Dragon Girl was not too sinister.

However, to be on the safe side, he quietly opened his third eye and cast his gaze on the dragon.
