The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 244: The Duke's Mansion Murder Case, the Heavenly Lord Attacks
On a moonlit night, the courtyard is deep and the grass is lush.

Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling looked at each other, while Yue Xiaomei leaned against a tree nearby, still with her eyes closed, but her breathing had calmed down.

"It turns out that he is not only a petty thief, but also a frivolous playboy!"

Yue Ling snorted coldly, obviously not believing it at all.

"I have never taught anyone martial arts, let alone had any...engagement!"

“It doesn’t happen now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.”

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said, "I don't believe that the Yue Ling I know would sink into this illusion without realizing it."

Hearing this, Yue Ling's body trembled slightly and remained silent.

"Fake is fake after all. In fact, many details can prove it. For example, these plum blossoms are clearly in spring now, but why are they withering but not fading?"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly pointed at the plum blossoms in the yard and said.

Yue Ling did not answer. She thought of the plum blossom that she had thrown into the lake, and her heart became confused.

"Also, this is the Duke's Mansion. We made quite a commotion, so why didn't any guards come?"

Zhang Jiuyang stared into her eyes and said word by word: "Because this is your inner demon tribulation. In your heart, you don't want this yard to be disturbed by others."

Yue Ling clenched the gun and sneered: "I don't understand what you are talking about, it's absurd-"

"I believe!"

A crisp voice sounded, startling Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling at the same time.

Yue Xiaomei opened her eyes, her gaze was bright, and although her voice was gentle, it was very sure, without the slightest hesitation.

She looked at Zhang Jiuyang, and a warm smile appeared on her pale face.

"Are you my future brother-in-law?"

"Little sister!"

Yue Xiaomei shook her head and said, "Sister, you know my ability. He didn't lie, he was very sincere, and he cared about you very much."

Yue Ling opened her mouth, but no words came out for a moment.

Although my younger sister has been weak since childhood, she can sense whether others are good or evil, and whether they are lying. Since she said so, it proves that the man is not lying.

Yue Xiaomei looked at Zhang Jiuyang with great curiosity. She sized him up, as if she wanted to take a good look at what kind of man could make her sister, whom she revered as a goddess, fall in love with him.

Well... he has a good appearance and temperament, and his ability is not bad either. He is worthy of his sister.

Hehe, she thought that her sister would like the kind of men with strong shoulders and broad waists like a general. Now it seems that her sister's taste is similar to mine...

"To be honest, although we are engaged, it was only due to the pressure from Old Madam Shen. It was a bit of an act, so I'm afraid I'm not worthy of being called your brother-in-law."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and smiled, looking at Yue Xiaomei with a kind and gentle look.

He loves Yue Ling's sister so much that she is also his sister, especially since she is such a soft-spoken and sickly girl.

Hearing this, Yue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She just said, why would she be willing to get married?
Her pursuit is to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and the end of the immortal path, to achieve great achievements and serve the country and the people.

Yue Xiaomei shook her head and said, "No one in this world can force my sister. If she doesn't want to, she will definitely not make any engagement with you."

"In short, even if you are not my brother-in-law, you are the person most likely to become my brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law, you said you were from the future. How many years from now is that?"

"Twelve years."

"Twelve years..."

Yue Xiaomei's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Brother-in-law, can you tell me about what happened to my sister twelve years later? Including how you two met?"

Yue Ling didn't say anything, or rather, she wanted to listen too.

"it is good."

Zhang Jiuyang just wanted to take this opportunity to wake Yue Ling up completely. He flicked his finger and a beam of Jade Sky Fire flew out, fell on the grass and burned, dancing with red-gold flames.

The warm firelight dispelled the darkness and cold.

"Sit down and talk. You are weak, don't catch a cold."

Although he knew that the other person was just an illusion, Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but feel pity for him.

"Wow!"

"Brother-in-law is so awesome!"

Yue Xiaomei clapped her hands out of respect and felt much more comfortable. The warm flame seemed to give her some kind of strength.

"Tsk, it's just a spell, what's so great about showing off..."

Yue Ling muttered something in a low voice as if she was a little jealous of her sister's cheering. She sat down, hugged the red tasseled spear, and turned her small face away deliberately, pretending to be uninterested, but her two ears were quietly perked up.

No one would be uninterested in their own future, let alone a person who claims to be their fiancé.

"It's a long story, but your sister is really amazing!"

Zhang Jiuyang almost uttered a curse word. Feeling the murderous intent between Yue Ling's eyebrows, he made a gesture for mercy, indicating that he was just excited for a moment.

Yue Ling was also very surprised, because she found that she could easily understand the other person's gestures. She had never encountered such a tacit understanding except with her sister who was born to the same mother.

"Your sister was first a general in the army, and was invincible. She was named the Champion General by the late emperor... er, she's not dead yet, that is, the current emperor. Later, she became even more amazing. She joined the Imperial Observatory, fought against demons, solved countless cases, and was named Marquis Minglie!"

"What happened next? What happened next?"

"That's the story of your sister and I. At that time, your sister was not yet Minglie Hou, but a Lingtailang of the Imperial Observatory, known as Yuehenren. At that time in Qingzhou, my master, Blind Lin, planned a big case..."

Zhang Jiuyang recounted the whole process of how he and Yue Ling met, from Blind Lin to the Painted Skin Master, from fighting side by side to secretly supporting each other, and sharing life and death. It took him a full hour to talk.

Their story is full of ups and downs, just like a novel. He doesn't need to process it in any way. It is full of twists and turns and very exciting.

Yue Xiaomei had been locked up in a small courtyard for many years. She had never heard such a wonderful story, especially about her sister's experience. She listened so seriously that her eyes became brighter.

But Yue Ling was very silent.

Ever since Zhang Jiuyang said that she was leaving the battlefield to join the Imperial Observatory, she remained silent and lowered her eyes. She was smart and seemed to have noticed something.

"Finally, your sister is very amazing. She broke through the sixth realm before she was thirty and passed through nine thunder tribulations. She is now passing through the final inner demon tribulation. As long as she passes this level, she will be a genuine sixth realm!"

“Sixth level!!”

Yue Xiaomei exclaimed, her eyes full of excitement.

Although she could not practice, she knew how rare the sixth realm was. The ancestor of their Yue family, the military god Yue Jingzhong, was at the sixth realm.

"Sister, I knew you could do it!"

She held her sister's hand, then looked at Zhang Jiuyang, not knowing what she was thinking of, and said with a smile: "What about me? Twelve years later, you want to marry your sister. Have I ever made things difficult for you?"

"My sister and I depend on each other for survival, and I definitely don't want her to get married. Hehe, let me tell you a few ways to please me now, and I guarantee that you will be able to get past me in the future!" She seemed very excited, but did not notice the slight stiffness on Zhang Jiuyang's face.

Yue Ling subconsciously clenched the gun in his hand and then interrupted him.

"Little sister, according to what he said, the engagement is just a temporary measure and should not be taken seriously. Well, staying up late is stressful, go to bed now!"

Although Yue Xiaomei was reluctant to leave, she was indeed a little tired. She yawned, winked at Zhang Jiuyang, and prepared to get up and go back to the house.

But at this moment, the Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire burning on the grass suddenly made a crackling sound, and white mist rose up.

Snowflakes floated down from the sky, landed on the flames and evaporated into mist.

Yue Ling's expression froze, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, as if she was about to lose the most precious thing.

Zhang Jiuyang also felt something was wrong. The snow came too suddenly. Most importantly, the snowflakes could actually affect his Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire.

Looking up, I saw that the moon in the sky had turned red at some point, like a bloody eye.

In an instant, a name emerged in Zhang Jiuyang's mind.

Bloody incident at the Duke's Mansion!
Could it be that tonight is the night when Tianzun will take action against the Duke's Mansion?
No, that would be too much of a coincidence. Besides, it is already spring now. If we calculate based on the time, the bloody incident at the Duke's Mansion happened on a winter night, so the timing doesn't match.

Then there is only one explanation.

His arrival accelerated this process!

The snowflakes grew bigger and bigger, and when they fell on people they turned into ice crystals and spread. Before long, the patrolling soldiers turned into ice sculptures one after another.

Under the moonlight, a figure appeared in the void, tall and majestic, shrouded in a shadowy black robe, like an evil god awakening from the abyss.

The familiar temperament and shocking sense of oppression shocked Zhang Jiuyang.

Heavenly Lord!

If he didn't know that this was an illusion created by Yue Ling's inner demon, he would have thought that the real Heavenly Lord had appeared.

"How dare you, a bastard, break into my palace!"

Rays of golden light burst out from the Duke's Mansion. There were more than a dozen of them, most of which were at the fourth level, and two of them were even at the fifth level, with astonishing power.

These are all guests of the Duke's Mansion, or monks trained in the mansion.

This made Zhang Jiuyang secretly frightened. You know, the four realms are equivalent to Lingtai Lang, and there are only thirty-six Lingtai Lang in the entire Imperial Observatory.

The Duke's Mansion is indeed full of hidden talents.

But unfortunately, the person they met was Tianzun.

The devil-like figure seemed to make a hand seal, and then seemed to do nothing. Then the guests of the Duke's Mansion were exploded into bloody mist one by one.

The Heavenly Venerable snapped his fingers and a dark crack appeared in the void, as if it led to the depths of hell, emitting astonishing yin and evil energy.

The next moment, countless evil spirits and demons crawled out from the gap, as densely packed as locusts, and attacked the Duke's Mansion with roars that shook the sky.

In an instant, screams rang out everywhere in the Duke's Mansion, which had been peaceful just a moment ago.

The blood completely dyed this centuries-old Duke's Mansion red.

There were also demons that came to the yard where Yue Xiaomei was recuperating. They had wings on their backs, ferocious faces, and held a spear made of human bones in their hands, surrounded by cold ghost fire.

Yue Xiaomei was startled and quickly hid behind her sister.

"Don't be afraid, sister is here."

A murderous look flashed in Yue Ling's eyes, and just as she was about to attack, she saw a figure with a bronze luster rushing up.

Zhang Jiuyang's body was filled with thunder energy, and faint thunder could be heard in his chest and lungs. His hands were also shining with bright lightning.

Boom!

Two bolts of lightning flew out from his palms, splitting the demon's wings into charred ashes and causing it to fall to the ground.

The next moment, Zhang Jiuyang's fist surrounded by heavenly fire slammed into the demon's head. The raging flames helped it and even made a whistling sound like a train.

The head of Lihuo, throwing thousands of layers of fire, burning for thousands of miles, and melting the train!
This is the text from the Lingguan Baogao, but when used on Zhang Jiuyang, it has some charm. The power of this punch is as powerful as a volcanic eruption or a meteorite falling, it is extremely strong.

After cultivating the Lingguan Heavenly Eye, Zhang Jiuyang became very adept at the way of fire. The power of his heavenly fire also increased greatly, and he already had some of the shadow of Wang Lingguan.

boom!
The demon's seemingly huge body was torn into pieces, like burning fireballs crashing into the surroundings, and a burnt smell filled the air.

"It turns out that he didn't use his full strength just now..."

Yue Ling muttered to herself.

"Brother-in-law, be careful!"

Yue Xiaomei suddenly spoke up to remind him that other demons had noticed Zhang Jiuyang and immediately swarmed over and rushed forward.

Yue Ling was about to help, but saw him make a strange hand print, with the middle finger stretched out, the tip of the index finger pinching the middle finger, the tip of the thumb and the tip of the index finger facing each other, and the ring finger and little finger bent in the palm.

Boom!

An even brighter flame rushed up, and under the Lingguan Jue, the Jade Pivot Sky Fire burned fiercely, transforming into a mighty and solemn three-eyed giant, holding a golden whip, suppressing the evil spirits!

Demons and monsters kept dying under Lingguang Lord’s golden whip and were burned to ashes by the heavenly fire.

But this scorching flame also attracted more demons, and they rushed towards Zhang Jiuyang like moths to a flame. Their numbers were so large that they seemed endless.

Zhang Jiuyang's magic power was constantly being consumed.

As time passed, sweat began to appear on his forehead, and the third eye between his eyebrows opened wide, staring at the Heavenly Venerable and the dark gap in the void.

The demons crawl out from the cracks. If we don’t eliminate the source, they will be consumed to death here!
"Yue Ling!"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly shouted loudly, shaking the sky.

Yue Ling's pupils trembled. For some reason, she instantly understood what Zhang Jiuyang meant. Before her brain could think much, her body's instinct had already made her cooperate.

The long spear dragged on the ground, lighting up a bright spark in the darkness. The spear's power was like a long river flowing into a valley, where all rivers flow back into the river.

Her eyes were extremely bright, as if there were faint golden flames burning in them.

The gun comes out like a dragon!

The moment Zhang Jiuyang released the Lingguan Jue, the spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea or a tiger leaping over a ravine, reaching its extreme speed and piercing Zhang Jiuyang's feet.

The next moment, he raised his gun, raised his arm, and stood up to fight against the tripod!

She actually lifted Zhang Jiuyang up and then threw him high into the sky.

boom!
The flames shot up into the sky, like the rising sun, and broke out of the encirclement of demons and came to the front of the mysterious and terrifying figure.

Zhang Jiuyang’s Heavenly Eyes were fixed on the figure, and his fists were shaking slightly, not sure if it was out of fear or excitement.

Although it was fake, he still managed to kill Tianzun.

He wanted to see if he could kill Tianzun once in this illusory world!
