The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 352: The Eight Realms Emerge Yang Shen

"who am I?"

The old Taoist priest seemed to remember something, a playful smile appeared on his face, and the fishing rod in his hand glowed and underwent some changes.

The fishing rod unexpectedly turned into a furry fox tail, filled with a strong evil aura.

"This is the tail of the demon fox. I borrowed it specially for use. I wonder if it looks familiar to you?"

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved, and he looked at the fox tail carefully.

The fox's tail hair was snow-white and soft, and it was filled with a strong demonic aura. Under the moonlight, it emitted a strange power that seemed to be able to bewitch people.

If he didn't have the third eye, he would probably become obsessed after seeing it too much.

In a flash of lightning, he blurted out: "The nine-tailed demon fox in hell?"

He finally understood why this fox's tail felt vaguely familiar. When he was incarnated as Wang Lingguan, he had entered hell and seen that demon fox.

"Are you the demon fox?"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. If it was the Nine-tailed Fox that had escaped, it was no wonder that it had such a terrifying illusion ability.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist shook his head and smiled after hearing this, saying, "Nine tails? That fox doesn't deserve it. It only has seven tails. The eighth and ninth are just magic weapons it made to scare people."

"I am just borrowing it for use."

After hearing these words, Zhang Jiuyang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the fox demon was imprisoned in hell. It turned out that it was a paper tiger.

Zhang Jiuyang had found it strange before, because the realm of fox demons is determined by the number of tails, and a nine-tailed fox can be called a celestial fox, which corresponds to the ninth realm in the human world, the realm of becoming an immortal.

However, judging from the fox demon's performance in hell, it is totally unworthy of the title of Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

Not only was he imprisoned, but he was also frightened by the crazy old man in the Eighth Realm. He looked timid and cowardly, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

It turns out that the last two tails were magic weapons it refined, not real Taoist skills.

But this old Taoist priest was able to "borrow" it so casually, could it be that he...

Suddenly, Zhang Jiuyang's pupils widened in shock. He looked carefully at the old Taoist's eyebrows and eyes, and the surprise in his expression became more and more obvious.

"You are……"

The old Taoist priest put away his fox tail, straightened his robe, nodded with a smile, and looked expectant.

"Are you the crazy old man who insisted on taking me as his master?"

Zhang Jiuyang blurted out.

The smile on the old Taoist's face froze instantly. Even with his concentration and experience, he actually felt restless, as if this place was a little hot.

"At that time, you were crazy and said that you couldn't beat me. But I was practicing the Jade Cauldron Mysterious Art, so you insisted on taking me as your master. Before I could even open my mouth to refuse, you kowtowed to me—"

As Zhang Jiuyang was talking, he suddenly found that he could not open his mouth, as if it was sewn shut.

"At that time, I was in deep meditation and lost my mind. How can I take what I said seriously?"

"besides……"

The old Taoist priest gave him a deep look and said, "Was it really you that I was worshipping?"

Zhang Jiuyang's heart skipped a beat, and he then remembered that at that time he had asked Wang Lingguan to possess his body, and it was Wang Lingguan who the other party saw, not Zhang Jiuyang.

"I am willing to accept him as my master. As for you, kid..."

He smiled and shook his head, "Being my apprentice is more like it."

After saying this, brilliant golden light radiated from his head to toe. The vast pure yang power was like a vast ocean, endless, and even the river water was dyed golden.

An invisible wave enveloped the surroundings, and Zhang Jiuyang was surprised to find that his connection with the world seemed to be cut off.

Golden Light Dojo, pure yang magic power!
At this moment, the person in front of him was not a Taoist priest, but a Taoist yang god with golden light flowing around him, like a god!
The eighth realm, the emergence of Yang Shen!
"My body is still in the prison of hell. It is my Yang Spirit who has come to see you. Perhaps you have already known my identity."

The old Taoist smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to remove the spell that silenced Zhang Jiuyang, and said seriously: "I am not a crazy old man, nor am I your apprentice. I am the 31st generation headmaster of Yuding Palace. My Taoist name is Yuzhen, and my common name is Miao Shenke."

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the Taoist Yangshen in front of him, feeling the vast power of their common origin, and felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart.

It is really hard to believe that the crazy old man has changed so much after shaving his beard and combing his long hair. Although he is old, you can still see his handsomeness and elegant demeanor.

"My name is Zhang Jiuyang, nice to meet Master Yuzhen!"

Zhang Jiuyang hurriedly bowed and was shocked by the power of the Yang God. You know, even Zhuge Yunhu, who was in the sixth realm, could not keep his soul away from the body for too long or too far. But the head of the Yuding Palace could directly travel through the Yin and Yang worlds!

"Headmaster..."

Hearing this name, Miao Shenke's eyes were filled with sadness. After a long moment, he laughed at himself.

"The Jade Tripod Palace is so huge, with thousands of years of inheritance, but in the end, I am the only one left. The title of the headmaster is really a joke."

After a pause, he looked at Zhang Jiuyang and said, "Speaking of which, you have done me a great favor. If you hadn't woken me up that day, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to comprehend the true Jade Ding Mysterious Art, and would always be crazy and insane."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes lit up. Since the other party was willing to do this, things would be easy.

"Senior, have you seen Ali? Is she okay now?"

"That little girl was smart and clever. She wasn't destined to die. She absorbed some of the power of the Yin Thunder and her soul should have been shattered. However, in a flash of inspiration, she performed the Yin Walking Technique, and her soul came to the underworld. She happened to meet me, who had successfully deduced the technique and regained consciousness."

Zhang Jiuyang was excited and asked hurriedly, "Is she okay now?"

Miao Shen Ke smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'm saving her, but I'm still a little short of the right time."

Zhang Jiuyang was just wondering about this sentence when he heard his voice again.

"I have an agreement with the Lord of the Underworld that my true body cannot leave the Underworld again, so I chose to use the method of the Yang God to find you."

"Find me?"

Zhang Jiuyang immediately smiled and said, "Senior, if you have any instructions, please feel free to tell me."

As long as the other party really saved Ali, he would no longer care about the illusion test just now.

Well, facing a powerful person who has reached the eighth level of Yang God, he can’t afford to bother.

Moreover, Zhang Jiuyang could vaguely feel that the other party came to him this time with some very special purpose, so he "borrowed" the tail of the demon fox to test him.

"I came to you to tell you something." "What is it?"

"There is something wrong with the Jade Ding Xuan Gong."

The understated words shocked Zhang Jiuyang's heart. The last time he saw the other party deduce from the beginning in hell, he had a premonition, but when he actually heard the other party say this, he was still a little surprised.

The Taoist method that has been passed down for thousands of years and is known as the best mysterious skill in the world actually has problems?
"This technique has been tampered with. Not only has its power decreased, but practicing it will also cause people to gradually go insane. In the best case, their minds will be damaged and they will go crazy. In the worst case, they will die!"

"And the most precious treasure of our Yuding Palace, the immortal tripod passed down by our ancestor, is also fake. I now suspect that we have never seen the real immortal tripod."

"Someone wanted to destroy my Yuding lineage on purpose, and it has already succeeded."

In the Golden Light Dojo, in the Yangshen realm, Miao Shenke spoke out this secret that would shock the world, with an extremely serious expression.

Zhang Jiuyang felt a chill in his heart as he listened to these words. He seemed to have sensed a huge conspiracy.

At the same time, he also thought of the tripod in the fairy palace of Penglai Island. The tripod was very likely to be real, but he hesitated for a moment and did not tell the news for the time being.

“That’s why my uncles and aunts in Yuding Palace died one after another, and no one could ascend to heaven. As a result, the dignified Taoist holy land was destroyed by the hands of demons.”

"Although I took an unconventional approach, relying on my talent and luck to forcefully practice the wrong technique to the eighth level, if I continue like this, I will inevitably die in the end. Fortunately, I met you."

"Or rather, it was that Wang Lingguan."

Miao Shenke looked at him deeply and said, "The golden whip of Wang Lingguan hit me on the head, but it woke me up and made me realize the problem in the mysterious skills and start to deduce it again."

"Now I have completed the deduction of the first eight diagrams of Yu Ding Xuan Gong, corrected the problems in it, and traced back to the source, so my spiritual wisdom has naturally recovered, but I am still pretending to be crazy."

"But the problem is, I can't figure out the ninth picture."

Zhang Jiuyang was surprised and said, "Senior, isn't your cultivation level of the eighth level Yang God enough for you to find out the real culprit and take revenge?"

"not enough."

Miao Shen Ke shook his head and said solemnly: "The other party tampered with the skills, which means he is afraid of Yu Ding Xuan Gong. I can only be sure of success if I cultivate to the highest level."

"Senior, how can I help you?"

"You can't help me unless... that Wang Lingguan appears again."

Zhang Jiuyang coughed when he heard this and remained silent.

Seeing this scene, there was a hint of disappointment in Miao Shenke's eyes. It seemed that the idea of ​​asking Wang Lingguan for help was impossible.

"Zhang Jiuyang, the reason why I am using illusion to test you this time is because I have experienced something similar before."

He suddenly changed the subject and said, "At that time, I was just like you. I had to make a choice between two dilemmas: saving my senior sister's life or the lives of ordinary people. I finally chose the latter."

"Master did not blame me. Instead, he passed the position of headmaster to me. He said that it would be better for the world to let down the Jade Tripod Palace than for the Jade Tripod Palace to let down the world."

"Zhang Jiuyang, if you had chosen to save the lives of those ordinary people just now, you would now be the 32nd generation headmaster of Yuding Palace."

"Not only will I teach you the Jade Tripod Mysterious Skills that I have newly comprehended, I will also teach you all the seventy-two secret techniques of the former Jade Tripod Palace, as well as the thirty-six magical skills."

"Although this tripod is fake, it is still a treasure. In addition, there is also a token that symbolizes the identity of the head of the sect - the Jade Purity Mystic Sect Seal. They will also be given to you."

He looked at Zhang Jiuyang with a half-smile and said, "Boy, do you feel any regret now?"

Zhang Jiuyang was startled when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "No regrets."

"Even if you give me another chance to choose, I will not sit idly by and watch Ah Li do nothing. Of course, cultivation requires compassion, but if you can't even protect your loved ones, then what's the point of success?"

These decisive words made Miao Shenke slightly dazed.

"What if this is not an illusion? What choice will you make?"

Zhang Jiuyang thought about it seriously, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe only when I really face it, I will know what I will do."

"But I can be sure of one thing. I will never draw my sword and kill myself. That is a cowardly act and an act of escape."

Suicide in the illusion is a resistance to the caster, but in reality, Zhang Jiuyang would never do that.

"You are so smooth, it's like saying nothing."

Miao Shenke glanced at him unhappily, shook his head and said, "It seems that you are only destined to be with Yuding Xuan Gong, but not with my Yuding Palace."

After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed it at Zhang Jiuyang's brow.

The vast power of the soul attacked Zhang Jiuyang, and he actually felt a bit like being taught and trained by the gods in the visualization picture.

In an instant, a lot of mysterious and obscure information poured into his sea of ​​consciousness, evolving into fairy pictures, mantras, and insights.

The amount of information was so vast that even Zhang Jiuyang felt a little dizzy with his spiritual power.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of excitement flashing across his face.

This is... the real Jade Ding Xuan Gong after Miao Shen Ke traced its origin!
"Although the Purple Thunder Book is considered a top-notch method, it is still far behind our sect's Jade Ding Mysterious Art. Boy, the reason why you can't refine those Yin Thunders is because what you practiced was never the real Jade Ding Mysterious Art."

"I will go back and cultivate this skill again, swallow the Yin thunder from his Feixian Cave, and rebuild my foundation. I will let those old guys who play with Yin thunder see what the first profound skill of Taoism is!"

Zhang Jiuyang was overjoyed. In this way, the Yin thunder that had troubled him for a long time could be refined. Moreover, after re-cultivating his profound skills, his strength would probably have a leap forward!
"Then Ali..."

He mentioned Ali again, but he still couldn't let her go.

"Haha, don't worry, she will be able to see you soon."

After that, he pointed to his reflection in the water and said with a smile, "Look, isn't that little girl fine?"

Zhang Jiuyang looked carefully and found that the illusion world had not disappeared but still existed.

The people who ate the pears began to itch constantly, and bark even grew on their bodies, and then each of them turned into a pear tree.

These small pear trees entangled together and became an extremely huge pear tree, and finally produced a 'fruit'.

Under Zhang Jiuyang's gaze, the 'fruit' suddenly opened its eyes, and joy was revealed in its crisp voice.

"My old pear is finally out~"

"From now on, I will no longer be the Monkey King, but..."

"Lishan Old Mother!"
