The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 309 The Bitter Meat Scheme

Huangquan, Mount Yamafu.

"Master, everything has been settled. They are really excited to hear that the Emperor's Scripture contains the secret of immortality."

Xuan Su looked towards the Heavenly Lord who was sitting high on the Jia-shaped throne, her voice calm, as if everything was under her control.

Tianzun did not speak, but just quietly flipped through the "Emperor's Scripture" in his hand.

He has read this book many times, but still hasn't fully figured out the mystery. What did that person leave in the "Emperor's Scripture"?
"What was Yan Luo's reaction?"

Tianzun asked while reading a book. His voice was powerful and deep, echoing among the mountains, with an inexplicable majesty.

Xuan Su said without thinking, "Although Yan Luo is strong, he couldn't escape the temptation of half of the "Emperor's Scripture" and quickly agreed. Now, the master's plan can finally be advanced."

The gathering of the Ten Heavenly Stems should have been realized long ago in their plan, but they did not expect that the old ghost would suddenly die and Yama Luo would appear halfway.

As a result, a series of subsequent plans were also affected, but fortunately, after their secret promotion, they finally got back on track.

Tianzun smiled faintly and said, "Don't underestimate Yan Luo. Over the years, he is the only one who has given me a little surprise."

Xuan Su shook his head, not understanding why Tianzun attached so much importance to that troublemaker, and even had a hint of admiration for him.

The Ten Heavenly Stems have changed over the years, but none of them has ever made Tianzun have this kind of attitude.

"Master, I still don't understand, why would you give away half of the Emperor's Scripture that we worked so hard to obtain so easily?"

In her opinion, half of the book was still too much. Even if she wanted to attract and win over Tian Gan, she only needed to give him the beginning. Giving away half of the book at once really made her feel painful.

Tianzun closed the "Emperor's Scripture" in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then said eight words.

“If you take something beforehand, you must give it beforehand.”

“I hope they won’t let me down.”

……

Zhang Jiuyang withdrew from the Huangquan Order.

He slowly opened his eyes with a sneer on his face.

Want to use half of the Emperor's Scripture as bait to collect the ten heavenly stems?
It is destined to be wishful thinking!
He is both Yan Luo and the Lord of Painted Skin, so as long as one of them is present, he can get the half of the Emperor's Scripture, and Xuan Su is destined to suffer in silence.

However, when the Emperor's Scripture was mentioned, he thought of the black tripod he saw in the Immortal Palace. The words engraved under the tripod should be the Emperor's Scripture.

His intuition told him that if he could obtain the complete Emperor's Scripture, it might be of great help when he went to the Immortal Palace in the future.

"Zhang Jiuyang, what does Bai Niuqi say?"

Yue Ling's voice rang out. Seeing that Zhang Jiuyang had not spoken for a long time, she frowned slightly, thinking that Bai Niqiu had said something cruel.

Zhang Jiuyang did not hide anything and told what had just happened.

"Half of the Emperor's Scripture...it seems that Tianzun is also anxious."

There were ripples in Yue Ling's eyes. When people get anxious, they are prone to make mistakes. Perhaps they will find an opportunity.

"But there is one thing I'm very curious about. Bai Niqiu is trapped in Penglai Palace right now. Can Huangquan Ling let her out?"

"If the white loach can't come out, even if you can get Yama and Painted Skin to be there at the same time, you probably won't be able to gather ten days of work."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "This is what I have been thinking about. I just contacted Ao Li and found that she did not respond. Finally, there was a voice, but it seemed to be... the voice of a little girl."

This makes him feel very strange.

"So what are you going to do about this Huangquan Banquet? Do you need my cooperation?"

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and said, "When the enemy comes, we will fight back with our generals. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. The Huangquan Banquet should be held in the next two days. Time is limited and there is no time to make too many arrangements. I am mainly thinking about one issue now."

"what is the problem?"

"It's about this Huangquan Banquet. Which identity should I use to attend the banquet?"

He can only choose one between Yama Luo and Painted Skin Lord, they cannot appear at the same time.

This is also his biggest drawback at the moment.

"I suggest the Painted Skin Master."

Yue Ling said after thinking for a moment.

"why?"

"Because of Yan Luo's identity, it's time to tone it down. Sometimes too much prestige may not necessarily be a good thing."

"That makes sense..." Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said with a smile, "Besides, Yan Luo is not here, the two-faced Buddha can take charge of the situation, and I can take the opportunity to find out more information."

"But Yan Luo won't participate. He needs a reason. He can say that his cultivation is about to break through, so how about going into seclusion?"

Yue Ling asked.

Zhang Jiuyang slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he opened his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he had made some kind of decision.

“That’s a good reason, but it’s not good enough.”

"Yue Ling, what if Yan Luo is injured?"

Yue Ling was stunned.

"If Yan Luo is injured, the two-faced Buddha will certainly become more unscrupulous, or at least not as cautious as before. Maybe we can find a flaw when we see it."

"But this is too dangerous."

Yue Ling frowned.

She understood what Zhang Jiuyang meant. He wanted the Imperial Observatory to attack Yan Luo so that he could be injured with a legitimate reason. However, she and the director were the only ones in the Imperial Observatory who knew Yan Luo's identity.

Others will kill you!

“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs.”

Zhang Jiuyang smiled, then his expression gradually became serious, and he said, "At this critical moment, I need you to stab me."

Yue Ling was stunned when he heard this and remained silent for a long while before he uttered a word.

"Is it necessary to do this?"

"Is necessary."

Zhang Jiuyang said firmly: "The evil spirits in Huangquan are all old foxes, each one is more shrewd than the other. If we don't act genuinely, we will definitely not be able to fool them."

"That's why I want you to stab me, because I'm worried about the others."

"it is good."

Yue Ling lowered her eyes and said only one word, but her jade hand holding the hilt of the knife clenched subconsciously.

Obviously, this knife made her feel quite stressed.

"Of course, you can't take this opportunity to take revenge."

Zhang Jiuyang joked.

Yue Ling glared at him unhappily. It was such a serious topic, but this man was always so nonchalant, as if he was not the one who was about to be stabbed.

"Okay, let's get ready quickly. I estimate that the Huangquan Banquet will begin in less than three days."

"Okay, I'll practice my sword skills too."

Yue Ling glanced at him as he spoke, then suddenly drew his sword. With a flash of cold light, the sword pierced through the bluestone beside him.

She sheathed the knife and observed the knife marks on the bluestone, muttering to herself.

"Sure enough, after getting used to killing, it's hard to avoid vital parts. Judging from the distribution of vital parts in the human body, this knife might pierce the left kidney."

hiss!
Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath and felt a dull pain in his left kidney.

He suddenly regretted it.

"Ahem, Yue Ling, you must practice well and don't be lazy."

A smile flashed in Yue Ling's eyes. She stopped talking and turned away.

Looking at her back, Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and smiled.

He sat cross-legged and immersed himself in Lu Zu's visualization diagram.

Fighting against Huang Quan is important, but improving your strength is more important.

Watching the power of the incense continuously pouring into the visualization diagram, Zhang Jiuyang's expectations grew higher and higher.

It looks like I should be able to obtain Lu Zu's inheritance for the first time tonight.
