The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 277: Swordsmanship is now mastered, you can kill dragons wherever there are dragons

Zhang Jiuyang looked at Lu Zu's visualization diagram and recognized that it was the story of Lu Zu slaying a dragon with his flying sword.

According to legend, there was once a dragon in the Huai River. It caused storms and did many evil things. It not only liked to eat people but also liked to rape women on both sides of the river, making the people miserable.

After hearing about it, Lu Zu came here to exorcise the demon. He first took a sip of the wine, then patted his abdomen, and the wine fell into the Huai River. After a while, it actually boiled the entire Huai River.

The dragon had to stick its body out to threaten Lu Zu.

Lu Zu smiled faintly and threw the sword in his hand into the Huai River. Then he saw a green dragon biting the Jiaolong. The two dragons fought each other, turning the Huai River upside down.

After the wind and the sea calmed down, the dragon disappeared without a trace, and only a sword flew out of the Huai River and returned to Lu Zu's hands.

This is the story of Lü Dongbin slaying a dragon with his flying sword.

Legend has it that Lu Zu's magic sword is called Chun Yang, which has incredible power. As long as you make a gesture of the magic formula and tell the sword the name and address of the enemy, the Chun Yang sword will transform into a green dragon, fly over and decapitate the enemy, and return with the head in a moment.

As the saying goes, now that you have mastered the sword, you can slay the dragon wherever there is one.

Zhang Jiuyang could vaguely sense that after obtaining Lu Zu's visualization diagram, his state of mind had undergone some amazing changes.

It was like a natural sword that had finally wiped off the dust that had been covering it for so long, and burst into a dazzling sword light.

The sword's heart is clear!

In this state, he could keenly sense danger or even important things related to himself without even having to count with his fingers.

But I can only feel a hint.

If he could go one step further and master Lu Zu's Tiandun sword technique, he would probably be able to achieve the effect of 'omniscience and omnipotence'. He would be able to sense the moment anyone had the thought of harming him.

Or if an important person calls his name, he can sense it clearly even if they are thousands of miles apart.

This is a magical application of swordsmanship to the state of mind.

Among the successors of Jiange this generation, Pei Qingchi is extremely gifted. After observing hundreds of sword techniques, he comprehended the state of mind of swordsmanship and was hailed as a rare genius in Jiange for a hundred years.

And Zhang Jiuyang had just obtained Lu Zu's visualization diagram, and he had ascended to heaven in one step, and his sword heart was enlightened.

Not only that, he also discovered to his own surprise that his talent in swordsmanship seemed to have greatly improved. With just a little thought, he could immediately understand the essence of various sword techniques and realize their essence.

He can even bring forth new ideas. Even ordinary sword techniques can be transformed into magic in his hands.

There is also another biggest gain.

Zhang Jiuyang slowly opened his eyes, pointed his sword, and his mind moved.

Clang!
The Evil-Slaying Sword turned into a stream of red light, circling around his body, its speed several times faster than before, and even in the narrow cave, it did not damage any part of his body.

The sword energy is completely restrained, the mind moves at will, extremely flexible, and as agile as a swimming dragon.

To put it simply, his relationship with the sword has become closer. The Sword of Evil-Slaying is as easy to use as flowing water, and it is smoother to control.

Moreover, the sword energy is restrained and leak-proof, and its power and sharpness are taken to a higher level.

The most amazing thing is that the mana consumption is actually reduced, so that even in Zhang Jiuyang's current weak state, he can still exert the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword.

The lightning flashes across the sky as demons are slain for thousands of miles, and a white dragon soars in the air!

After playing with the flying sword technique for quite a while, Zhang Jiuyang was finally satisfied. When he was about to sheath the sword, he sensed the reluctance of the Evil-Slaying Sword.

It seems that this magic sword does not want to be hidden in the sheath.

He could actually feel the sword's emotions.

Zhang Jiuyang's mind moved, and he transmitted a thought as if possessed by a ghost, wanting to try whether he could do it.

As a result, the Sword of Evil-Slaying actually emitted a bright light, then slowly shrank to three inches, and then flew into his hair crown, shaped like a wooden hairpin.

No one could have imagined that this red hairpin that looked like peach wood or red copper could actually be a flying sword that could slay demons and evil spirits.

He wore a red hairpin on his head, a golden belt around his waist, and a white robe, and he looked handsome and elegant.

Apart from anything else, just from the appearance, Zhang Jiuyang really does look a bit like the elegant and romantic swordsman Lu Dongbin.

However, he didn't get to be proud for long as he couldn't help coughing twice and spit out blood, staining his white clothes red.

I have basically understood the visualization diagram. With the Evil-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Binding Rope, it is enough to protect myself and the way.

The most important thing now is to heal the wounds quickly, and try to make use of the divine power left by Master Lingguan, and add the breathing method of Dayan Thirty-Six Hammers, to directly cultivate the second level of the Immortal Golden Body!
Sitting cross-legged with eyes closed and hands forming the Vajra Seal, a trace of solemnity appeared on his handsome face. His breathing was at the rate of Tian Gang, and together with the gentle divine power, he constantly tempered his body.

Gradually, tiny traces of silver light appeared in the seventy-two entrances around his body, becoming brighter and more dazzling, giving people a feeling of being indestructible, like a solid wall of iron and steel.

From a distance, it looks like a silver arhat.

……

Time passed quietly. In the cave, Zhang Jiuyang cleared his mind of distractions and relied on a clear sword heart to ignore the severe pain he felt when practicing the Immortal Golden Body. His heart was calm and his progress was naturally very fast.

If the divine monk who created the immortal golden body saw this scene, he would probably be surprised.

Although the Immortal Golden Body is powerful, it is extremely painful to practice. The first level requires using the physical body as a sandbag, breaking countless wooden sticks, and bathing in freshly boiled medicinal soup.

The second level is to experience the excruciating pain of thousands of needles piercing one's bones, which may even kill one.

Moreover, during the practice, one must be able to keep a calm mind and spirit, without the slightest disturbance, otherwise one will go astray. Therefore, this practice requires extremely profound Buddhist practice to calm the mind and spirit, and remain calm even if thousands of blades are thrown at one.

If Zhang Jiuyang had not obtained Lu Zu's visualization diagram and leaped to the state of sword heart enlightenment, he probably would not have been able to cultivate the second level of the Immortal Golden Body.

After an unknown amount of time, the cave was already shrouded in silver light.

The solemnity on Zhang Jiuyang's face became even stronger, just like the Arhat in the Buddhist murals, masculine and powerful, intimidating without even being angry.

But at this moment, his soul moved and he felt that some unknown force was trying to communicate with him.

Is that... entering a dream?
This seemed to be a dream-entering technique, where the other party was trying to guide him into the dream and then meet him in the dream.

The Qi is not that strong. Even though Zhang Jiuyang's injuries have not healed yet, he can easily reject this force and even hurt it back through his Heavenly Eye.

But his swordsmanship did not sense any malice, and even felt a strong sense of goodwill.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jiuyang decided to meet him.

Anyway, his sword heart is clear, even if he falls asleep, he can stay absolutely awake and wake up from the dream at any time.

Relaxing his mind, Zhang Jiuyang followed the guidance of that force and quickly entered the dreamland.

Everything around had changed dramatically. It was no longer a cave, but a place that seemed familiar to Zhang Jiuyang.

This is... Qingzhou City!

The surroundings were bustling with people, and it was still as prosperous as before, but no one seemed to see him, or even pass through him.

Zhang Jiuyang noticed a gaze, turned around, and saw an old man standing under the bridge by the river, bowing to him.

"Du Weinian has met Master Zhang!"

"Thank you very much for saving me from the dire situation. Even if I work like a slave, it would still be difficult to repay Master Zhang's kindness!"

His voice was somewhat excited, and his eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Zhang Jiuyang.

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes lit up. Seeing his old friend, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. He said, "So it's Master Du. Yes, this is where we first met!"

Hearing that Zhang Jiuyang remembered it so clearly, Du Shensuan became even more excited.

He even wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but Zhang Jiuyang waved his hand to stop him.

Although it was Du Shensuan who performed the art of entering dreams, it seemed as if Zhang Jiuyang was the master of the art. With a flick of his finger, Du Shensuan was completely unable to kneel down.

"Old Du, I also want to thank you for giving me the Liu Yao Gua book, and the Jue Gua you left for me before I went to Yangzhou. It helped me a lot."

There was also a hint of emotion in Zhang Jiuyang's voice.

When he had achieved some basic cultivation, he set up a fortune-telling stall here in order to make some money. However, who would have thought that all his business was snatched away by this old man.

Ali was so angry that she even wanted to cause trouble for him.

However, he did not expect that the old man was an extremely gentle and honest elder, who had studied the art of Liu Yao for his entire life and was devout to the Tao. He took the initiative to support him and taught him all he knew about the art of Liu Yao.

Zhang Jiuyang even relied on the Jue Gua left behind by the Painted Skin Master before his death to find the flaw of the Painted Skin Master, thus opening up the situation.

After inviting the spirit to possess him, he made a big fuss in the underworld and helped it out of its predicament, which was also a fulfillment of the friendship they had when they met and became friends.

"That's what I should do!"

"Lao Du, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I will help you if I can."

Du Shensuan quickly shook his head and said, "Master Zhang has helped me so much, I am very grateful. The reason why I came to see you in my dream this time is to express my gratitude to Master Zhang. Others may not know, but I know Ah Li. Of course, I will keep it a secret for you."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded. He was not afraid of his identity being exposed, otherwise he would not have brought Ah Li with him to the underworld.

Both Yama Luo and Painted Skin's aliases are notorious, and he doesn't want his real body to be unknown. Even if he wanted to, it would be difficult to do so as his cultivation level continued to improve and the visualization map was constantly updated.

It’s better to show it openly.

Others would not doubt that he is Wang Lingguan because the difference in strength is too great, but others would think that he is Wang Lingguan's disciple, the one chosen and protected by the gods.

This way, anyone who wants to deal with him in the future will have to think about it.

How to bear Wang Lingguan’s wrath?

Invisibly, he was able to use his influence to gain a foothold that was shining in the eyes of others.

Safety will be further guaranteed.

"Besides that, I want to tell you one more thing, which is what I was calculating when I became a tree man in the underworld."

"This matter is of great importance, and I only trust Master Zhang."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved, and he asked, "What on earth are you planning?"

"The Lord of the Mansion gathered us together to calculate the number of people whose bones weigh more than seven taels and two cents, find out their whereabouts, contact the ghost walkers in the human world to kill them, and then send ghost soldiers to escort their souls!"
