The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 455: Zhuge Father and Son, Wedding is Coming

Jizhou, Duke Dingguo's Mansion, late at night.

There was still candlelight in Zhuge Yunhu's room. He was still dressed and was leisurely knocking chess pieces while listening to the lamp.

It seems like he is waiting for a friend.

Time passed little by little, and it was already three o'clock in the night when footsteps were finally heard outside the door.

"Is the warden asleep? I am here to bring you a midnight snack."

A young voice sounded, seemingly from a servant in Yue Mansion.

"No need, I don't eat after noon."

Zhuge Yunhu continued to play chess with himself, but there was an inexplicable ripple in his eyes, which was faintly visible under the flickering candlelight.

The door was pushed open and the figure walked in, holding a bowl of milky crucian carp soup in his hand, exuding an enticing aroma.

If he was an ordinary servant, he would have left after Zhuge Yunhu's refusal, but he walked in on his own and closed the door very naturally without any restraint.

He placed the crucian carp soup in front of Zhuge Yunhu, sat down slowly, then lifted his black robe, revealing a young and handsome face.

He had a handsome face and an imposing manner, but the only pity was that on that almost perfect face, there was a scar that was as winding as a centipede, as if someone had torn the skin apart alive. It looked a little scary under the candlelight.

"Father."

He looked at Zhuge Yunhu and said in a gentle voice, "You had a bad stomach in your early years, and you have been recovering from your injuries ever since. The medicine you took all year round was mostly bitter and cold, so your stomach has never been well. This crucian carp soup is what your mother used to make for you. It can nourish your stomach."

"I'm not a good cook, I don't know how good my mother is at cooking, drink it while it's hot."

Zhuge Yunhu slowly turned around and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar son in front of him, with a complex look in his eyes.

He took the fish soup, tasted it and put it down again.

"Yu'er, do you still remember this game of chess?"

The man in black robe, Zhuge Yu, looked at the chessboard for a while and said with a smile, "Of course I remember. This is the unfinished game between father and son."

He was determined to sneak into the underworld, but his father would not agree no matter what. In order to prove himself, he decided to play a game of chess with his father.

If he won, his father would let him go into hiding. If he lost, he would listen to his father and stay in the Imperial Observatory obediently.

He was full of confidence at that time, because although his chess skills were taught by his father, he had already surpassed his father and always won more than he lost when playing chess with his father.

But that time, the more he played, the more he felt something was wrong. It was as if his father's chess skills had suddenly become unfathomable, and it was useless for him to use all his skills.

Seeing that he was gradually declining, his father closed the chessboard and said that he recognized him.

Only then did he realize that his father always gave him the easy wins when they played chess.

"I have already set up the chess game. Let's continue playing it. Let me see how much you have improved over the years."

Zhuge Yu frowned and said, "Father, let's talk about business first, Tianzun——"

Zhuge Yunhu tapped the chess piece lightly and said concisely, "Play chess."

"Yes!"

Zhuge Yu sat down, but found that he was holding the white pieces and his father was holding the black pieces. There was some surprise in his eyes.

Back then, he was black and his father was white, but now it’s the other way around.

You know, the black pieces have already shown signs of defeat, and the white pieces have a huge advantage.

"Play this game well, it's very important."

Zhuge Yunhu said this calmly, and then said nothing more, his eyes fixed on the chessboard.

Zhuge Yu smiled slightly. If he was playing with white pieces, he was confident that he could definitely defeat his father quickly!

You know, he has been following that person for these years, and has been influenced by him. He has made great progress in all aspects and is no longer the same as before.

Just like that, in the dead of night, the crisp sound of chess pieces falling continued to be heard, and time continued to pass.

At the beginning, Zhuge Yu was very confident and moved his pieces swiftly and decisively, hoping to end the battle quickly. But gradually, his movement speed became slower and slower, and in the end he even had to stop for half a day to think about each move.

The candle burned down.

Snapped!
This time, Zhuge Yunhu did not block the opponent's chess in the middle lane, but killed the opponent's dragon cleanly and decisively, and the outcome was decided.

Zhuge Yu's forehead was covered with sweat. Finally, he sighed, admitted defeat, and said admiringly: "Father, your chess skills have improved again, it's amazing!"

He looked at his father carefully under the candlelight, as if he was meeting this little old man for the first time.

Zhuge Yu found that he seemed to have trouble understanding his father, and even vaguely saw a hint of that man's shadow in his father.

Zhuge Yunhu didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

"Father, our ancestors——"

"Call me Tianzun."

Zhuge Yu was in a hurry to explain the business, but was quickly interrupted by his father. He gave a bitter smile. His father was too strict and did not even let go of such details.

But this is also where my father is great.

"Yes, Tianzun has accomplished a great task in Baiyun Temple. Huashou Gate has been acquired, and the Ten Heavenly Stems will also be gathered, but there is a problem in Penglai."

"what is the problem?"

"For some unknown reason, the white dragon escaped from the immortal tomb ahead of time, and a few old guys also escaped."

Zhuge Yu sneered, "With Tianzun here, those old guys are nothing to be afraid of. It's just that the white dragon has disrupted our layout and may even affect our plans in Penglai. Xuansu has already gone to hunt her down."

"Penglai..."

Zhuge Yunhu read the name and suddenly asked, "What does Tianzun need me to do?"

"do nothing."

Zhuge Yu stared at his father's eyes and asked, "The Lord of Heaven asked me to come here just to ask you one thing."

"What's the matter?" "In the underworld...besides me, are there any other people from the Imperial Observatory?"

Zhuge Yunhu paused for a moment, then met his son's gaze and nodded, "Yes."

Zhuge Yu's heart sank, and he asked in confusion: "Father, why didn't you tell Tianzun about this? If Tianzun hadn't guessed it with his divine foresight, I wouldn't have believed it!"

Zhuge Yunhu said calmly: "People who play chess always have to prepare some backup plans."

"But father, you——"

"Have you finished asking?"

Zhuge Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Not yet, Father, who is that person? Is he Yan Luo?"

After a pause, he continued to speculate: "But there shouldn't be a person named Yan Luo in the Imperial Observatory."

He grew up in the Imperial Observatory and knew the people there very well. There were indeed many talented people among them, but no one could compare with Yan Luo!

Although he was also lurking, he would have died long ago if he had not received secret help from Tianzun. However, Yan Luo was doing very well, his prestige in the underworld was growing, and he even became the leader of a small alliance.

If such a person was really from the Imperial Observatory, he must be very brilliant, but he had never heard of him.

"Could it be that Yan Luo is Yue Ling?"

This was the only direction he could think of. He had taught Yue Ling for a period of time and was very impressed by the little girl. Her talent was truly amazing.

After a long silence, Zhuge Yunhu finally spoke slowly.

"Yama……"

……

At the mountain gate of Baiyun Temple, all the monks came to see them off. Even the monk Tongji, who was temporarily acting as the abbot, walked out of the mountain gate in person just to see the two people off.

The man was dressed in white, looked handsome, with his hair tied up with a sword hairpin, a golden belt around his waist, and a purple gold gourd hanging from his waist. His every move was unrestrained and free, and he looked otherworldly.

The woman was wearing golden armor and a red robe, with a sword hanging from her waist and her hair tied in a high ponytail with a red rope. She had a tall and slender figure, beautiful features that looked as if they were carved, and an extraordinary and heroic temperament that was hard to ignore.

Anyone who sees them would have to praise them, saying that these two are truly the best of the best.

Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling are ready to leave Baiyun Temple.

There would be no gain from staying any longer. In Jizhou, General Yue and Madam Shen wrote to them almost every day, urging them to go back and get married.

They said that if Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling didn't go back, they would rush to Yongzhou and hold the wedding directly at Baiyun Temple.

Zhang Jiuyang originally thought it was a joke, but Yue Ling said that this was indeed something her parents would do.

There was no choice but for the two people who were constantly urged to get married to leave Baiyun Temple first.

"Sanbao, practice well here and don't forget what I taught you. If someone bullies you, go find Master Tongji and he will help you get justice."

After a pause, Zhang Jiuyang continued, "If Tongji doesn't care, you can write to me. I want to see which monk is so bold as to bully my brother."

Zhang Jiuyang touched Sanbao's bald head, but he was looking at the monks behind Sanbao.

He said this to those people. Zhang Jiuyang knew that with Sanbao's ability, he would soon stand out.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It is inevitable that he will be envied.

Zhang Jiuyang wanted to let all the monks in Baiyun Temple know that Sanbao was under his protection, and no matter what rules there were in the temple, they should not go too far.

Otherwise he won't follow the rules.

boom!
Yue Ling held up the Overlord Spear, and a winding crack suddenly appeared on the ground, with a sharp and domineering momentum.

Although she didn't say a word, she supported Zhang Jiuyang with her actions. The meaning was very clear: Zhang Jiuyang's words were her words.

Thinking of this man's great reputation and power in the Imperial Observatory, all the monks were horrified.

"Amitabha, please rest assured, Master Zhang and Yue Jianhou, I will accept Sanbao as my disciple on behalf of Brother Abbot and teach him how to practice in person."

Tongji took a step forward and looked at Sanbao with admiration.

As soon as these words came out, Sanbao basically had a transcendent status in Baiyun Temple. He was the abbot's only disciple, Tongji personally taught him how to practice, and he also had powerful external backers like Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling...

"Brother Zhang, Sister Yue, Sanbao will pray for you in front of the Buddha, and wish you a long and happy marriage and a long life together..."

There was a hint of crying in Sanbao's voice.

He has a pure heart and has long regarded Zhang Jiuyang as his own relative. Now that they are about to part, he feels very reluctant to let go.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said softly, "Practice well. I look forward to fighting alongside you one day to slay demons and monsters."

Sanbao nodded vigorously, his eyes very determined.

The two men rode away on the clouds and bid farewell to the monks. As they continued to rise higher, they watched the huge Baiyun Temple become smaller and smaller, and a sense of emotion arose in their hearts.

The trip to the temple benefited a lot.

The conflict between the Imperial Observatory and Baiyun Temple seems to have eased a lot. This thousand-year-old temple is likely to become a reliable ally in the future.

"Ahem, then let's go back to Jizhou and get married?"

Zhang Jiuyang asked.

Yue Ling nodded, as if she remembered something.

"Have you told Bai Niqiu about our marriage?"

Zhang Jiuyang's face froze, and he managed to utter a few words after a while.

"is it necessary?"

At this moment, he even felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Ao Li was still in Penglai Palace and couldn't come out. Otherwise, if she had come to the wedding, the scene would be...

hiss!
It’s scary to think about it!
