The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 461 I Want to Be Your Shadow

"My lotus is a treasure for enlightenment. The essence you collected is stored in your five internal organs. It contains innate Qi. If your life span runs out in the future, it can help you live a new life."

"I will teach you a method that can mobilize the essence of lotus. Remember, don't refine it easily."

The voice conveyed by He Xiangu made Zhang Jiuyang slightly stunned, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that although he was in an illusion just now, the dual cultivation between him and the Taoist nun was not fake, but actually brought him benefits.

The lotus is the treasure that helped He Xiangu attain enlightenment, representing the Eight Immortals and a wonderful item from the immortal family.

According to legend, He Xiangu did not hold a lotus at first. As she was too beautiful, she was always coveted by demons when she was practicing, and she was frequently interrupted, which made her very distressed.

Li Tieguai, one of the Eight Immortals, suggested that she hold a lotus flower, which could conceal her beauty and also symbolize that she was beautiful but not coquettish, and had a noble character.

He Xiangu thought it made sense, so she asked for a lotus flower from the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi Pool. Although it had left the water, it would never wither.

When there was a severe drought among the people, she gently shook off the dew on the lotus flowers, praying for heavy rain for the world, so that the earth would have a good harvest.

Over time, the lotus became her symbol.

Later, she became a celestial being, and the lotus became her symbol of enlightenment and her life-saving magic weapon. It was so mysterious that it could even transform into an incarnation and conceal the truth from everyone.

Although he was an incarnation, his true body could sense the incarnation's experiences to a certain extent. Therefore, He Xiangu was somewhat surprised that Zhang Jiuyang, whom she had asked to "enlighten" him, had failed miserably.

At the same time, she was somewhat grateful, because not only did Zhang Jiuyang benefit, but her lotus also underwent an unusual transformation after receiving Zhang Jiuyang's pure yang energy.

"I have passed on the formula to you. Remember, do not be greedy and refine it easily. You must know that in this world, life span is the limit."

She reminded again.

Zhang Jiuyang nodded seriously and took note of it.

Although he is still young and can live for a long time, as long as he cannot achieve immortality, there will always be a day when he dies. At that time, it would be so great if he could live another life with the essence of the lotus.

It's like a second life.

This world is different from China. Lifespan seems to be limited by certain rules. Otherwise, with his current level of cultivation, it would not be difficult for him to live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But in this world, being able to live for six hundred years without dying like Tianzun is almost a myth.

Zhang Jiuyang bowed to He Xiangu, who nodded in return, revealing a hint of a smile, like a hundred flowers blooming, bathed in the morning glow.

Her skin is really as white as cream and her breath is as fragrant as orchid.

It was a pity that the immortal face only flashed for a moment and then disappeared without a trace. He was the only one left in the empty sea of ​​consciousness, as if the scene of the Eight Immortals descending to earth and teaching and imparting skills was just a mirage.

Only Lu Zu in the visualization picture still stands with his sword over his back, looking unrestrained and carefree.

The color has spread to his neck. He believes that in the next inheritance, he will receive Lu Zu's precious edict and have the precious opportunity to invite the gods to possess him.

Thinking of this, the pressure Zhang Jiuyang felt because of Tianzun was swept away. He felt relieved and regained his confidence.

He admitted that he might not be a match for Tianzun alone, but I'm sorry, I have never been alone.

……

In the room, when Zhang Jiuyang opened his eyes and returned to the real world, it was already dawn.

This time, the inheritance took him a whole night!
However, what he gained was also extremely rich. First, he suddenly realized the core principle of Lu Zu's sexual technique in the illusion and practiced it to perfection. Secondly, he obtained the lotus essence of He Xiangu, and he would have the opportunity to live again in the future.

The last part is the highlight, after listening to Yuanshi Tianzun’s preaching, the Eight Immortals jointly created the “Heavenly Immortal Golden Elixir Secret”!
This method is divided into twelve chapters. Zhang Jiuyang has just started with the first chapter, but he has benefited a lot. The speed of nurturing the holy fetus has leapt forward.

If this technique were in the Chinese world, it could be regarded as a profound technique that leads directly to the path of immortality. However, in this world, it can only be used to assist in practice.

But even so, it's already very impressive.

This method requires one to have reached the fourth realm to practice, it can greatly improve the quality of the golden elixir and greatly shorten the practice time of the fifth realm.

Perhaps it would be of great help to the sixth, seventh, eighth and even ninth realms, but Zhang Jiuyang could not understand it now.

The only drawback is that it requires extremely high aptitude and understanding from the cultivator.

Although the Jade Ding Xuan Gong is powerful, it is too slow and difficult to practice. This technique can just assist in the practice of the Jade Ding Xuan Gong. The two complement each other just right.

If Zhang Jiuyang founded a sect in the future, "The Mysterious Jade Ding Art" and "The Heart Sutra of the Immortal Golden Elixir" could serve as the sect's most core inheritance.

He pushed the door open and went out. Although the sun was rising outside, the wind was as cold as a knife, whistling loudly.

After sitting all night, Zhang Jiuyang stretched and called out "A-Li".

But no one around answered.

Zhang Jiuyang frowned immediately. Usually when he was practicing, Ah Li would stay at the door obediently. Why did she suddenly disappear today?
Not only A Li, but also Qing Ji and Ao Ya were missing.

Did Sanxiao encounter an enemy?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuyang's heart tightened. He took a step forward and was about to open his third eye to take a closer look, but he found that on the ground, a series of strange black lines were secretly attacking the shadow of his feet.

Zhang Jiuyang remained calm and observed secretly, while mobilizing his mana, ready to launch a thundering attack at any time. But what he didn't expect was that those black lines actually surged into his shadow like a tide, like drops of water flowing into the sea without causing a ripple.

However, he could feel in his peripheral vision that his shadow seemed to have changed in some way.

Although his shadow walked when he walked, and stopped when he stopped, his shadow did not turn when he turned his head.

Instead, she stopped and looked at him with a thoughtful look.

The most terrifying thing is that with Zhang Jiuyang's current level of cultivation, he didn't even notice anything unusual. If the other party had attacked under the cover of night, he would probably have been hit.

What a weird magical power!
A chill rose in Zhang Jiuyang's heart. He continued walking forward and came to a small lake. The water was as clear as a mirror, reflecting his figure.

Zhang Jiuyang tilted his head to look at his reflection in the water, and the reflection also tilted its head to look at Zhang Jiuyang, with the same movements. Zhang Jiuyang formed seals with his hands, and the reflection followed suit.

He turned around and looked back suddenly. The reflection seemed to be panicked for a moment, but quickly adjusted itself.

"Your Excellency is very powerful, why don't you come out and have a chat?"

He stared at his reflection in the water and laughed out loud. There was no one else around and it seemed as if he was talking to himself.

The shadow didn't respond.

Still pretending to be stupid?
Zhang Jiuyang sneered, then suddenly stretched out his fist, and the shadow also stretched out his fist. Zhang Jiuyang stretched out the cloth, and he also followed suit.

But the third time, Zhang Jiuyang first used scissors, and then changed it to cloth with extremely fast hand speed. The opponent was obviously panicked for a moment and changed from scissors to fists.

So there was one man and one shadow, one produced cloth and the other produced a fist.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

A blazing eye opened between Zhang Jiuyang's brows, with flames burning in it like jumping magma, and a violent and overbearing aura permeated.

Under the gaze of the Heavenly Eye, his shadow in the water began to emit black smoke and showed a look of pain, but the shadow stretched out a hand and covered his forehead.

The next moment, Zhang Jiuyang felt his right hand stretched out uncontrollably, covering his third eye between his eyebrows.

His eyes narrowed. What on earth was this shadow? How could it be able to forcibly control other people's actions?
What was even more shocking was that the shadow began to extend his fingers again and dig into his own brow.

Zhang Jiuyang also bent his fingers and dug into the third eye between his eyebrows, with his nails almost piercing into his eyeball.

But at the critical moment, his fingers suddenly stopped, and no matter how hard the shadow tried, he did not move at all.

"Little guy, did you have enough fun?"

A golden lamp flew out from Zhang Jiuyang's Niwan Palace, illuminating the sky and the earth. The golden light was shining and covered his whole body like armor, giving him a layer of golden glow.

The golden protective shield of Yuding Palace can not only prevent physical damage, but also resist all kinds of strange secret methods and even curses.

When the golden light shines, you will be immune to all evil!

The next moment, Zhang Jiuyang stretched his hand down, reached into the lake, grabbed his own shadow, and then lifted it up with force.

He brought out a little girl, who looked like a defeated chicken, dejected.

It turned out to be the missing Ali.

"Woo woo, Brother Nine, I thought this new magical power I cultivated could pose some threat to you, but now it seems... I am still too weak."

She was in a very low mood, with her arms and legs drooping listlessly, like a little turtle that had lost its shell.

Zhang Jiuyang had already discovered it was her when he just opened his third eye, so he only used the protective golden light shield to defend himself. Otherwise, if he used other attack methods, Ali would probably be injured.

Among the three, Ali is undoubtedly the strongest. Now she is already a demon-level evil spirit, comparable to the fourth or fifth realm. She is considered a strong person wherever she goes, but compared with Zhang Jiuyang, she still has a tendency to fall behind.

"The reason you want to use your newly-cultivated magical power to fight me is to tell me that you are now able to help me fight, right?"

Ali nodded aggrievedly and said, "It's a pity that I'm still not strong enough."

They had agreed to make trouble in Heaven together, but she could not keep up with her ninth brother's pace. If this continued, what was the difference between her and those monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain?
She doesn't want any cheering and waving flags, she wants to chop down the whole path from Nantianmen to Lingxiao Palace with her ninth brother!
Zhang Jiuyang touched her head and said with a smile: "You are already very powerful. This magical power is very remarkable. It may be of great help to me."

Hearing this, Ah Li raised her little face in surprise and asked, "Really?"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded, not just saying words of comfort, but because he felt from the bottom of his heart that this magical power was powerful.

Ali is gifted. As her cultivation level continues to improve, the magical powers she awakens become more and more powerful, such as the previous curse, and the ability to drill into shadows and control people's behavior.

"Brother Jiu, in addition to my shadow and the reflection on the water, I can also get into the bronze mirror. That's amazing!"

"I don't have to live in the Yin doll anymore. I want to live in Brother Nine's shadow. I will be Brother Nine's shadow!"

She instantly smiled and said excitedly: "Brother Jiu, let's go kill someone and I'll show you how to do it!"
