The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 435: The Daughter of the Mountain King, Tiger Roars in the Mountains

Shigu Town is a pile of broken walls and ruins.

Although the flood did not come in the end, it still caused great damage to the small town, and countless houses collapsed.

Fortunately, under Zhang Jiuyang's deliberate protection, although some people were injured, they were all still alive.

Zhang Jiuyang and his three companions were walking in the town, but everyone ignored them, as if they couldn't see them at all.

These are the Eight Hidden Earth Techniques of the Yuding Palace.

"You mean, they are all cursed by Mahakala?"

The sun wheel between Tongji's eyebrows rotated, emitting a dazzling light that even Zhang Jiuyang looked at it sideways.

Legend has it that when the monk Tongji was born, he had a birthmark in the shape of a sun wheel between his eyebrows. He was able to see yin and yang and distinguish between ghosts and gods, which was extremely magical.

Soon, Tongji withdrew his Heavenly Eye, his gaze was extremely solemn, and there was a hint of guilt in it.

"What a vicious curse, it will last for generations to come. It is a curse that will wipe out the entire race and the descendants. They live in Yongzhou, but I had no idea about it. This is the negligence of my Baiyun Temple."

"It's not entirely your fault. This spell is too secretive and involves divinity. Even if an ordinary sixth-level immortal has a divine eye, he still needs to observe carefully to see it. It's easy to be careless."

Zhang Jiuyang said comfortingly.

He now has an even better impression of Tongji. No matter what, at least his guilt just now was sincere, and he dared to take responsibility and would not shirk responsibility.

There are fewer and fewer sixth realms like this one.

"Dajkala..."

The golden vertical pupil between Yue Ling's eyebrows slowly closed, but his eyes became even colder, sharper, and more murderous, like a dragon-sparrow sword being unsheathed.

"How dare you poison my Daqian people for a hundred years? If this evil Buddha is not eliminated, how can my Imperial Observatory stand firm in the world?"

She touched the military token engraved with the words "Xuannv" on her waist, her eyes gleamed brightly and her fighting spirit soared to the sky.

"Sooner or later, I will gather my troops and march to the West!"

After obtaining the inheritance of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, her will to fight became stronger and she became more domineering.

Well, it makes people feel safe...

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly. He could feel that Yue Ling had become more confident. She looked very excited, especially when she touched the military token. She seemed to have become a general commanding millions of troops, and she could conquer everything with her sword.

It seems that there are many mysteries hidden in that military talisman.

Seeing this scene, he not only did not feel envious, but he became more confident in his choice.

Yue Ling is far more suitable for the visualization diagram of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens than herself, and only she can bring out the maximum power of that visualization diagram!
"We'll talk about the future later. The question now is, how can we help the people of Shigu Town?"

Zhang Jiuyang's question made Yue Ling, Sanbao and Tongji silent.

This curse is a typical case of cutting meat with a blunt knife or boiling a frog in warm water. It may not cause much harm in the short term, but as time goes by, the population will inevitably decrease.

The Cui County of the past is now just a small town.

In a few decades, I'm afraid this place will be a deserted place.

However, this curse is too special. Even a real person in the sixth realm has no way to solve it and can only watch.

"I do have a suggestion."

Zhang Jiuyang held up his purple gold gourd and said with a smile: "This gourd contains a world of heaven and earth, where these people can live. Although the curse cannot be eliminated, with my care, their race will not be extinct."

"One day in the future, if we can kill Mahakala, the curse will naturally dissipate. If they still wish to come back, they can also return to their homeland. What do you think?"

Before, the world in the gourd was lifeless, desolate and silent, but now the embryonic form of the heavenly consciousness has been born in the gourd, and that world is longing for the birth of life.

If the people of Shigu Town go there, they will definitely be protected by the Heavenly Dao in the Gourd.

With the participation of these people, the world in the gourd will become more vibrant, and the speed of the evolution of the way of heaven will be further accelerated.

This is a matter of mutual benefit.

Sanbao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Jiuyang with admiration. He knew that Brother Zhang would definitely find a way!

Yue Ling nodded immediately. She was always the first to support Zhang Jiuyang's ideas.

"The sudden disappearance of a town's people is no small matter. I'll find a way to deal with the court."

Tongji hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "I heard that Yue Jianhou will be promoted to deputy supervisor. Let's put this matter on the head of Baiyun Temple. After all, this is Yongzhou, and Baiyun Temple has the responsibility to take care of it."

"This is still Kyushu."

Yue Ling waved his hand and said bluntly: "In recent years, the court and Baiyun Temple have had quite a few conflicts. This matter is not a big deal and will not have any impact on me."

Seeing that both of them agreed, Zhang Jiuyang did not delay any longer. He directly took out the magic gourd and took the people in.

The golden python will help them rebuild their home in the gourd.

At first, I believe they will feel a little uncomfortable, but I believe they will soon find that the world in the gourd is much happier than the real world.

There are no exorbitant taxes, no demons and monsters, no natural disasters or man-made calamities. Every year there is good weather and good harvests. If you like any piece of land, you can just mark it yourself. Houses are worthless.

They will not feel bored, because for them, the world in the gourd is as boundless as the real world, and they may not be able to explore it completely even if they spend their whole life. Moreover, as the first generation of residents in the world in the gourd, they are blessed by the way of heaven and have good luck. Zhang Jiuyang will also pass down the practice method to cultivate talents.

Perhaps many years later, they will form their own immortal cultivation civilization, and the most outstanding disciples will be able to ascend to the "immortal world", come to reality, and become a member of the sect founded by Zhang Jiuyang.

There is an entire world cultivating talents for itself, so it would be difficult for such a sect to decline.

Of course, these are just his beautiful ideas, and everything needs time to ferment.

In a flash, the town that was noisy just now became quiet, like a ghost town, with deathly silence.

A scroll flew over and stopped in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes.

That was his painting "Tiger Roaring in a Thousand Mountains". This painting was blessed by his magical powers and had swallowed up the dragon vein. Now some miraculous changes had taken place in it.

The tiger in the painting was very intelligent, as if it sensed Zhang Jiuyang's gaze. It raised its head from the bluestone and let out an intimate tiger roar.

It is the unruly king of all beasts, born with pride, mighty and unyielding. Only Zhang Jiuyang, who drew it, is regarded as its master.

Zhang Jiuyang nodded with satisfaction. Yes, he had gained something from the battle with Venerable Gesang this time. At least he had gained another good magic weapon. When he founded a sect in the future, this tiger could also be the beast that guarded the mountain.

He was just about to put the painting away when the tiger demon mount beside Tongji suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, Taoist priest, can you let me take another look at this painting?"

The tiger spoke human language, and it was a woman's voice. It seemed to be a tigress.

Zhang Jiuyang had actually noticed this tiger demon a long time ago, because he sensed a familiar aura from her, which vaguely resembled a mountain lion.

But since it was someone else's mount after all, he didn't ask any further questions.

"How dare you! How can you speak in front of Master Zhang?"

Tongji snorted coldly and rebuked him, then looked at Zhang Jiuyang and said apologetically: "My mount is not usually like this. It was because the tiger in the painting reminded her of her father that she was so excited for a moment. Please don't blame me, benefactor."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved, and he looked at Qiangwei and said, "Is your father the mountain king in Tongtian Mountain Range?"

"To reply to the Taoist priest, he is indeed my father."

Hearing this, Yue Ling immediately looked at her with an unfriendly look.

Shanjun and the Yue family have been fighting in Jizhou for so many years, and countless soldiers have died. They are well-deserved mortal enemies.

Tongji sighed and said, "Although my mount is the daughter of the mountain king, she and the mountain king have an irreconcilable feud. The mountain king killed her mother."

"The tiger monster not only likes to eat hearts, but is also extremely promiscuous. Rose's mother was originally a tiger monster from the Tongtian Mountains. She became friends with the tiger monster and gave birth to Rose. Later, she complained about the tiger monster's infidelity and was bitten to death by the tiger monster."

Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He glanced at Yue Ling and found that she was also looking at him, so he quickly lowered his head.

There was a hint of hatred in Qiangwei's voice, and she said, "He was obsessed with the beauty of the female ghost in Guifei Ridge, and was very indifferent to me and my mother. When my mother gave birth to me, he was having fun outside!"

"Later, my mother couldn't stand it anymore and complained a few times. As a result, he bit her spine and shattered it. She swallowed the demon pill. He also likes to drink. Every time he got drunk at the Tongtian Banquet, he abused me to vent his anger, because I looked more and more like my mother, which made him feel uncomfortable..."

Thinking of her tragic past, Rose, now an adult with the fifth level of cultivation, felt a little choked up in her voice.

"Just when I felt that all was lost, the Jizhou army entered the mountains to attack him. A great battle broke out, and I was able to escape from the Tongtian Mountains during the chaos. Later, I was hunted down by the people he sent. Fortunately, I met Master Tongji, who enlightened me and saved my life."

Yue Ling nodded. The time did match. At that time, the tragedy at the Duke's Mansion had not happened yet. When her father was at his most ambitious, he wanted to lead the Jizhou Army and the Ancient General Temple to flatten the Tongtian Mountains. In that battle, all ten Dharma images appeared and it was extremely tragic.

My father still underestimated the strength of Shanjun. The Jizhou army suffered heavy casualties and had to return in defeat. Of course, Shanjun was also injured.

The two sides then reached an agreement, set up boundary markers, and no one crossed the border again.

But she knew that this matter had always been a source of shame for her father and a knot in his heart. After all, the Tongtian Mountains were originally the territory of Daqian, but now it was occupied by a tiger demon.

Moreover, the geographical location of this mountain range is extremely important. It stretches for 800 miles, and there is only one Qinglong Gorge that can allow war horses to pass through. If the mountain range can be controlled and heavy troops are sent to guard the Qinglong Gorge, the Liao soldiers will never be able to move south again!
This is why General Yue did not hesitate to lead a large army to fight against the tiger.

"Master, the tiger in this painting looks a bit like him. To be honest, although I hate him, I am also afraid of him. In front of him, I don't even have the courage to fight. I don't know if the tiger in the painting can come out. I want to overcome that fear!"

Tongji also helped to intercede, saying: "Although Qiangwei is a demon, she often listens to Buddhist teachings and does many good deeds. She has become the guardian beast of our Buddhist sect. If Master Zhang can help, I will be very grateful!"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled upon hearing this and said, "No problem. To be honest, Shanjun is also my enemy. One day in the future I will kill him, Qiangwei..."

"When the time comes, are you willing to obey my orders and lend me a helping hand?"

Qiangwei said without hesitation: "Of course I do!"

Tongji also said calmly: "Since she is my mount, I should also contribute to this matter. If Master Zhang does not mind, I am willing to do my best."

Zhang Jiuyang was overjoyed. He didn't expect that his trip to Yongzhou could win over two powerful helpers.

The monk Tongji is a great helper in himself and is very good at fighting. The tiger monster Rose has a special identity and will be useful when the time comes.

He slowly smiled.

It seems that he will have to prepare a "generous gift" for Shanjun at the next Tongtian Banquet.

Kill the Painted Skin, behead the Evil Buddha, and the next target in the underworld will be the Tiger King.
