The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 408: Relics, Yellow Spring Order

After listening to the two-faced Buddha's story, Zhang Jiuyang remained silent.

If he was not lying, then the identity of that Heavenly Venerable was indeed obvious. Apart from Zhuge Qixing, he could not think of anyone else.

This way all the clues fall into place.

When Zhuge Qixing caused chaos in the underworld, it was not a momentary impulse, but a preparation for faking his own death and escaping later. He could use the apricot corpse technique on Zhuge Yu, so of course he could use it on himself as well.

This also fits with what Bantian said, that Tianzun is a dead man.

As the ancestor of the Zhuge family, he naturally would not really harm the lives of his descendants, so he always deliberately held back when it came to Zhuge Yunhu and Zhuge Yu.

Zhuge Yu is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown now. He is either imprisoned or he has defected to the enemy.

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, it further proves that Tianzun is Zhuge Qixing, because the only person who can make Zhuge Yu rebel is Zhuge Qixing, the ancestor who holds the supreme status in the hearts of Zhuge's descendants.

The only doubt is why Zhuge Qixing wanted to take back his own treasure bag personally, which seemed a bit unnecessary.

"In fact, it is very simple to verify. You might as well go to Xuanling and see if there is any body in Zhuge Qixing's tomb. Everything will become clear naturally."

After saying this, the two-faced Buddha lowered his head and said no more.

At this point, he told everyone everything he knew, and unexpectedly he felt a long-lost sense of relief in his heart, as if a huge burden had been lifted.

After completely letting go of all his hatred and obsession, he had a kind of enlightenment in his heart, and he remained calm even when facing the impending death.

"Zhang Jiuyang, can you untie me? I want to recite the Sutra of Rebirth to pray for the souls of those people."

He made one last request.

Yue Ling was still in shock that the Heavenly Venerable was Zhuge Qixing. Hearing this, she did not try to stop him but just stood there blankly.

Zhang Jiuyang sighed lightly, then flicked his sleeves and the Sword of Evil-Slaying was as fast as lightning, instantly breaking the iron chains and letting the Two-Faced Buddha fall down.

Yue Ling finally reacted. She raised the Overlord Spear and locked her aura firmly on the Two-Faced Buddha, not missing any details.

This person is extremely cunning and must be guarded against.

The two-faced Buddha sat down tremblingly, with his hands clasped together. A hint of peace and tranquility appeared on his hideous and ferocious face.

He began to recite the "Nirvana Sutra" softly, without any tricks or scheming. Every word was recited with great clarity and with a very pious attitude.

Zhang Jiuyang had been listening quietly, and found that the two-faced Buddha's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and his energy was gradually weakening.

A heavy aura of death descended, and under the eyes of heaven, the flame of the two-faced Buddha, which symbolized vitality, was extinguished bit by bit.

This is the sign of Nirvana.

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes were very complicated. He hated this enemy to the core at first, but now, in addition to hatred, he also felt a bit of sympathy.

If he had experienced what happened to the Two-Faced Buddha, I'm afraid he would have gone astray.

"You two, please use your flames to send me off for the last time."

If he is destined to die, the two-faced Buddha hopes to die in flames, letting the flames burn away the sins of his life.

boom!
The Jade Pivot Sky Fire descended and landed on the two-faced Buddha, burning his body and soul.

boom!
Another flame came, it was Yue Ling's Ming Wang Golden Flame.

She looked at the two-faced Buddha in the flames, looking at this old rival with very complicated eyes. The final golden flame of the Mingwang could be considered a kind of fulfillment.

"Thank you both."

In the sea of ​​fire, the body of the Two-Faced Buddha gradually melted, but he said nothing. Instead, a peaceful smile appeared on his face.

At the moment when he was completely engulfed by the fire, he felt dazed, as if he had returned to the Salesian Bureau more than a hundred years ago.

The sun is shining and the spring flowers are fragrant.

The door of the Salesian's Office was open, and inside were many childhood playmates and a simple and kind old man.

The old man saw him and waved with a smile.

The children also waved to him, smiling happily, and chirping like sparrows.

"Seventeen, I've been waiting for you, come and play with us~"

"Seventeen, why did you come just now? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

"We agreed to go out and play after dinner. Why are you eating so slowly?"

"Seventeen, welcome home."

……

Snapped!
A light golden stone-like object fell into the raging fire. Even the heat of the Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire and the Bright King's Golden Flame could not burn it.

On the contrary, the more it burns in the fire, the brighter the golden light becomes.

"Is this... a relic?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Yue Ling's eyes.

"A two-faced Buddha can actually burn out relics?"

Those who can leave behind relics after death are all eminent monks. Although the Two-Faced Buddha has a high level of cultivation, he has harmed countless people and committed many evil deeds. How can such a person burn out relics?

"Don't forget, he almost became the abbot of Nalanda Monastery, and there is actually a mystery about the two-faced Buddha that we have not yet solved."

Zhang Jiuyang waved his hand to take the relic, rubbing it in his palm with deep eyes.

"What mystery?"

"Why him?"

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the relic and said, "Why did Mahakala choose him? Not everyone is qualified to have a Buddha design their life. Perhaps the Two-Faced Buddha himself does not know how special he is."

"This relic may give us the answer in the future."

Zhang Jiuyang put away the relic, and then a black light burst out from the flames again. It was a Yellow Spring Order. It tried to escape, but was nailed to the wall by Yue Ling's gun.

The tip of the gun pierced the small hole on the Huangquan Order, blocking its way.

Zhang Jiuyang was familiar with what happened next. He directly and forced the Yellow Spring Order into his sea of ​​consciousness. The three Yellow Spring Orders gathered together like three perfectly fitting puzzle pieces.

The Huangquan Order shone brightly and became more powerful, as if it was floating a little bit. It even dared to tentatively float towards the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, wanting to be on par with the visualization diagram.

However, as the visualization diagram trembled slightly, the Yellow Spring Order was directly knocked away, and the three Yellow Spring Orders were almost broken into pieces.

This time it was completely obedient, staying obediently under the visualization diagram, like a servant. Zhang Jiuyang did not immediately test the additional abilities of the Yellow Spring Order, but first helped the Two-Faced Buddha collect the ashes and put them in a small box.

Looking at the small box, Zhang Jiuyang sighed softly and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm really a bad guy who will do anything to get what I want. I'm destined to be unable to do what I promised you."

He once promised to bury the two-faced Buddha with the old dean, but in fact, more than a hundred years have passed, and due to mountain torrents and other reasons, the old dean's grave could no longer be found.

The so-called joint burial is nothing but a scam.

"I lied to you from the beginning to the end. The files and the doctor's notes were forged. Guo Xingsong was also a paper figurine made by Ali. All this evidence is fake."

"But... just because the evidence is false doesn't mean the conclusion is wrong. Maybe the last story I told you is the truth that has disappeared in time."

Zhang Jiuyang's voice was full of emotion.

Ever since Mr. Meng told him the story of the conjoined twins, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Father, like son.

The sense of design in this story is so strong that Zhang Jiuyang has always been skeptical about it as there are too many doubts in it.

So he asked Yue Ling to investigate the matter through the power of the Imperial Observatory, but found... nothing.

Yes, that period of history seemed to have been wiped out completely.

According to the rules of the Imperial Observatory, the person in charge of investigating the case would leave a file regardless of whether the case was successful or not. However, Ye Sichen, who was in charge of the case at the time, did not leave any written records.

What's even more terrifying is that there are very limited records about Ye Sichen, and even his death is very vague, which is totally inconsistent with the style of the Imperial Observatory.

The graves of the old dean and those orphans disappeared without a trace due to a mountain flood the following year.

The three disciples of that miracle doctor died one after another within a few years, and their descendants also died unexpectedly, breaking their bloodline.

There was also Guo Xingsong, who also died early. He was alone and helpless until his death, without a wife or children.

People who were involved with the Great Love Charity Bureau died one after another within a few years, and all relevant records were lost. Even the records in the local county annals were erased.

This is also the reason why Yue Ling clearly got the clues about the conjoined twins but couldn't find them no matter what.

At the critical moment, Zhang Jiuyang had an idea. If you can erase all the evidence, then why can't I reproduce it?

See who's meaner.

"The absence of evidence is actually a kind of evidence. That period of history disappeared so cleanly, as if it was wiped out by a hand. Zhang Jiuyang, I think the story you told should be the truth!"

Yue Ling has recovered from the shock of knowing that the Heavenly Venerable is Zhuge Qixing. Although it is difficult for her to accept it, she forces herself to accept it.

At this moment, he took the initiative to comfort Zhang Jiuyang.

"Yue Ling, I was actually thinking that maybe there is a younger sister in this story."

Yue Ling was stunned.

"It's just that sister is the kindness that has been suppressed in his heart since he was a child. He wandered around with his sister on his back, and in the end he was unwilling to give up his sister and tried his best to sew her onto his body. In fact, he didn't want to throw away his innate kindness."

"The two-faced Buddha should have been a very kind person."

When he said this, Zhang Jiuyang felt a little upset.

This sounds ridiculous, but if you think about it, it is very possible.

The two-faced Buddha can produce relics, he can be appreciated and recognized by the abbot of Nalanda Temple, his attainments in Buddhism are so amazing, and Mr. Meng, who is transformed by the kindness in his heart, is so admirable...

If it were not for the manipulation and influence of Lord Buddha Mahakala, perhaps he would have become a great Buddhist monk.

Unfortunately, the gods can change the course of a mortal's life with just a flick of their fingers.

To gods like Mahakala Buddha, all living beings are like puppets with various strings tied to their bodies, and they can manipulate them at will with just a flick of their fingers.

Zhang Jiuyang deeply hates such gods.

"In that case, then his sister is Mr. Meng, isn't she?"

Yue Ling widened her eyes and said in surprise.

"Yes, so everything Mr. Meng did was what my sister once wished for. Mr. Meng thought he was fulfilling my sister's wish, but he didn't know... that was his own wish."

"Bury the two-faced Buddha's ashes under the Bodhi tree. I can't bury him with the old dean, so let them be reunited as siblings."

……

In the room, Zhang Jiuyang held a brush and looked quietly at the name on the paper. The memories in his mind gradually faded away, and he let out a long breath.

It was as if he wanted to spit out all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

When facing Senior Zhuge before, he really didn't know how to start the conversation.

The Heavenly Lord is Zhuge Qixing. Your most beloved son is not dead, but he might have betrayed and defected to the enemy?
That would be too much of a blow to Senior Zhuge, and there was no final confirmation on the matter. Even if there was a 90% chance, he was unwilling to say it easily.

The most important thing is that Zhuge Qixing is also a person Zhang Jiuyang admires. Before opening the coffin for an autopsy, he absolutely does not want to slander the sage and destroy his reputation.

So when he met General Yue and Senior Zhuge, he said nothing.

Of course, silence itself is an answer. With Senior Zhuge's intelligence, he would probably realize something.

The next step is to open the coffin and perform an autopsy, but this will definitely be very difficult. Zhuge Qixing's body is buried in Taizu's Xuanling Mausoleum. Opening the imperial mausoleum to perform an autopsy is tantamount to rebellion.

And according to Yue Ling, there is a large formation guarding the imperial mausoleum, which blocks all prying eyes, so even the Heavenly Eye is useless.

Zhang Jiuyang frowned for a long time, and finally he stopped thinking about it because he really couldn't think of any solution.

We can only think about it later.

He calmed himself down, sat cross-legged, and immersed his mind in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It’s a good opportunity to try out the effect of putting three Yellow Spring Orders together.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Jiuyang contacted the Moon Goddess as Yama. In an instant, a message emerged in his mind.

Zhang Jiuyang's expression changed. The first new function has appeared. He can actually choose to forcibly open the other party's Huangquan Order and communicate with the other party.

In the past, if the other party refused or ignored it, the other party would not be able to communicate with him, but now Zhang Jiuyang has an extremely overbearing ability to force communication!
Of course, this ability must be used with caution, because once used, it means that the fact that he possesses multiple Yellow Spring Orders may be exposed.

Not long after, the Moon Goddess's gentle voice sounded in Zhang Jiuyang's heart.

"Lord Yan Luo, you really know how to choose the time. Do you always like to chat with me while I'm bathing?"
