The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 462: The Wedding Dress Claims Life, Ah Li Chases the Murderer

"kill?"

Zhang Jiuyang grabbed her little ears and said angrily and amusedly, "A-Li Ghost King, Lishan Old Mother, come and tell me, who do you want to kill?"

Although he doted on A Li and treated her as his own sister, Zhang Jiuyang never indulged her.

Indiscriminate killing of innocent people is absolutely unacceptable.

Ah Li pouted, then muttered, "Killing a servant should be in this mansion."

Zhang Jiuyang's face darkened, and he said angrily, "What did I teach you? You can't even learn idioms. You can't even be a human... a ghost?"

"Servants are also human beings, and they are also lives. How can you kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

Ah Li said aggrievedly: "Brother Jiu, the servant I want to kill is a bad guy!"

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned.

"Some time ago, I just cultivated this magical power that allows me to travel through mirrors and shadows. I often use it, running around in Yue Mansion, and almost going through every mirror..."

At this point, Ah Li did not forget to explain: "Brother Jiu, I didn't hurt anyone. I was just playing around. I deliberately restrained my Yin energy. The people who got into my shadow would just sneeze and feel a little cold at most."

"One of them had a very strange shadow. He was dressed in servant's clothes and was responsible for cooking in the kitchen every day. When I entered his shadow, he seemed to have noticed something and pretended to sleep to test me. He was very alert. I hid for three whole days before he dispelled his suspicion."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes.

This is indeed a problem!

You know, Ali's cultivation level is not low, and with this strange magical power, even he almost didn't notice it. How could a servant who is responsible for cooking have such a skill?

"Later, I followed that servant quietly until one night, the night before you and Sister Ming Wang came back, the servant suddenly changed into a black robe, made a bowl of crucian carp soup in the kitchen, and then took it to see Grandpa Zhuge..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuyang was shocked.

A light bulb went off in his head. Perhaps the reason why Zhuge Yunhu left early and left a letter to warn him was because he met this mysterious man that night?

"You followed in too?"

Ah Li shook her head and said regretfully, "I wanted to go in, but I had a feeling there would be danger, so I quietly escaped before he entered the house."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded. Ah Li’s choice was right. If Zhuge Yunhu was pretending to be sick, then he would have been in the sixth realm many years ago. What level would he be in now?
Seven realms?

Although Ali's magical power is strange, since she can't hide it from herself, it is very likely that she can't hide it from the other six realms immortals.

Moreover, Zhuge Yunhu is extremely intelligent and is a rare master of formations. If Ali takes the risk of following him into the room, she will definitely be discovered and it will be difficult for her to come out alive.

"But Brother Jiu, before I fled, I seemed to hear that servant inside calling out 'father'."

Boom!

A flash of light flashed through Zhang Jiuyang's mind, and he instantly understood the man's identity.

Zhuge Yunhu's most trusted son, the Zhuge family's most outstanding young talent, who was almost designated as the next head of the family, Zhuge Yu, the brightest new star in the Imperial Observatory!
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhuge Yu's aura back then was no weaker than Yue Ling's now.

Even because he was not afraid of sacrifice and dared to give up all his halos to lurk in the devil's lair, he had many admirers in the Imperial Observatory. Even after his death, his spirit still inspires many people.

Yue Ling received his help and guidance in those days and always regarded him as a role model.

But unfortunately, Zhang Jiuyang later learned from the Two-Faced Buddha that Zhuge Yu was not dead, but was secretly rescued by Tianzun.

The skinned and bone-crushed corpse was nothing more than a substitution of a cat for a prince.

If the previous suspicions about the Zhuge family were just speculations, now the suspicions have been settled.

There is indeed something wrong with the Zhuge family!

For hundreds of years, the Zhuge family has never lost contact with the Tianzun, who is the Zhuge Seven Stars, but has been planning something under his secret manipulation.

"How long did they talk?"

"He didn't come out until almost dawn, and Grandpa Zhuge passed away the next day."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. Zhuge Yunhu and his son met secretly and talked for such a long time, which showed that he knew about it.

In other words, Zhuge Yunhu and Tianzun should have been in contact a long time ago.

Even Zhuge Yunhu came to Jizhou not to attend the wedding, but to leave the capital city, which was under strict security and covered by the national defense formation, to see his son.

He suddenly remembered that Yue Ling had told him that during the years when Zhuge Yunhu was recuperating, he would leave the capital for a period of time every once in a while to recuperate, either in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, in the mountains, or in the streets of the city, to find peace and quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

At that time, he thought it was just normal cultivation to regulate his body and mind. Now it seems that he might have gone out secretly to meet his son or even Tianzun.

So after the meeting at Yue Mansion in Jizhou, perhaps because he had something urgent to do, or perhaps because he felt a little guilty towards Yue Ling, he immediately said goodbye and left.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuyang showed a bitter smile on his face.

He thought he had finally penetrated into Huangquan, and had defeated Huangquan severely, allowing the Imperial Observatory to gain the upper hand. However, he did not expect that even the director of the Imperial Observatory was from Huangquan!

He is the strongest undercover agent!
"Ali, you said you wanted to kill that servant, is he still in Yue Mansion now?"

A cold light flashed in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes. Zhuge Yu was a big fish. If he could be caught, it would be of great significance.

This person not only knows many secrets, but can also become a killer weapon against the Zhuge family in the future.

Hearing this, Ah Li shook her head and said, "He ran away that night. I felt that I might not be able to win, so I didn't do anything. However, anyone who has been in my shadow will be marked with a special mark. I can feel that he is still in the city!"

Zhang Jiuyang was inspired by what she said. He smiled and touched her head, praising her: "What a great magical power, Ah Li, you may be able to accomplish great things this time!"

Ali giggled, her eyes shining.

"Brother Jiu, you must leave the first knife to me!"

Clang!
The two pink kitchen knives at the waist clanged, emitting an astonishing murderous aura that scared the birds in the trees away in all directions.

She hadn't fought with Zhang Jiuyang for a long time. At this moment, little Ali was so eager to kill with the two swords in her hands that she couldn't wait to start killing.

The more powerful the ghost, the stronger its evil spirit and the stronger its murderous intent. Although Ali is special, she cannot escape this cage.

It's just that she has enough determination and wisdom to control her murderous intent and not kill innocent people.

Of course, when she meets someone she can kill, she will be very reluctant to let him go, and would like to chop him a few more times just to satisfy herself.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled, but did not immediately go to look for Zhuge Yu. Instead, he said, "Let's go find Yue Ling first."

He is now more mature than before. A lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Zhuge Yu is a genius and has been with Tianzun for a long time. Who knows how strong he is now?

If he escapes, it will alert the enemy and it will be difficult to capture him alive.

Therefore, it would be safer to call Yue Ling along.

"Wuhu!"

Ah Li was even happier and said with a smile: "Great, the three of us will go kill people together, it's so heartwarming just thinking about it." Zhang Jiuyang: "???"

……

After a while, Zhang Jiuyang did not see Yue Ling. Mrs. Shen told him that Yue Ling had gone to the branch of the Imperial Observatory in Jizhou early in the morning, as if there was some urgent case that needed her to deal with.

Mrs. Shen was still complaining, saying that the wedding was going to be tomorrow, but Yue Ling was still out on a case and didn't even have time to try on her wedding dress.

Although Zhang Jiuyang was a little surprised, he also expressed his understanding.

Who told him that the woman he was going to marry was such a strong woman?

Not to mention that they haven't gotten married yet, even after getting married, Yue Ling will probably still focus on slaying demons and monsters, and will never slack off at all.

But this is exactly what he appreciates and likes.

Since Yue Ling was not there, he would go with Ali to check out the situation first, and then wait for an opportunity to decide whether to take action.

There weren't many people in Jizhou City in the early morning. The wind was biting cold, and the place was deserted and unusually quiet.

But when Zhang Jiuyang passed by a house, he heard crying.

That was the crying sound of the vigil. In addition to the white cloth hanging on the doors and windows of this family's house, Zhang Jiuyang actually saw some happy words and remnants of red paper-cuts.

It was as if this family had just had a wedding and then suddenly had a funeral. It was so hasty that the previous festive decorations had not yet been dismantled.

Out of curiosity, he calculated with his fingers and immediately understood the cause and effect.

It turned out that this family was planning to hold a wedding, but unexpectedly, on the wedding day, the bride suddenly died, and the happy event instantly turned into a funeral.

The one crying was the groom, who still hasn't been able to accept the sad news.

Out of professional habit, Zhang Jiuyang deliberately opened his third eye and took a look, but did not find any resentment or evil spirit. It seemed that everything was a coincidence.

"Brother Jiu, let's go!"

Ali urged from the front.

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and prepared to leave. He could do nothing to help with this kind of situation. If the bride had only been dead for a moment, he could have helped save her and perhaps avoided the tragedy.

But now it was a night and the body was stiff, so there was nothing he could do.

But at this moment, the groom who was crying in front of the coffin suddenly roared and rushed towards the corner of the coffin, intending to commit suicide!
boom!
He hit the coffin hard, blood gushed out and splattered all over the ground, scaring his family members who were still drowsy and made them scream in fear.

He fell in a pool of blood, his eyes gradually dimming.

"My son, how could you be so stupid!"

"Death is a matter of fate, why do you force it?!"

The old parents kept crying and tears were pouring down.

The groom stammered, and said in a trembling voice: "Wanqing...didn't die suddenly. I could feel...she was very scared and in pain..."

"She's calling me..."

Just when he was dying, he seemed to see a person in white clothes walking towards him, with a faint light emanating from his body. Except for him, everyone else ignored him.

For a moment, I thought it was a ghost who was trying to collect souls, but this ghost was too handsome.

"You said the bride did not die suddenly, do you have any evidence?"

The ghost asked, but the others continued to cry loudly and ignored him.

The groom struggled hard and sat up suddenly. It was as if his soul left his body and he sat up. None of his parents and relatives could see him.

He looked at the ghost messenger in white, who was holding a pretty girl in the hand. The girl was wearing an embroidered jacket, had two long braids, and had two pink kitchen knives tied around her waist.

For some reason, he felt his soul tremble and almost dispersed just by looking at the two knives.

"Greetings, two ghost messengers. My wife Wanqing has always been in good health. How could she suddenly die? There must be something strange. You might as well call my wife's soul and ask her and you will know the answer."

Zhang Jiuyang frowned and said, "Just a guess?"

The groom was shocked. Although the ghost in white did not look fierce, the little girl was more terrifying. But for some reason, he always felt that the ghost in white was intimidating without even getting angry and it was difficult to look at him directly.

It even made him want to worship him.

What he didn't know was that the souls of newly deceased people were very sensitive to spiritual energy. Although Zhang Jiuyang had restrained the energy around his body, he just stood there quietly and the Feng Shui field within a radius of dozens of feet was faintly operating around him.

It was as if he was the center of the world.

In the eyes of the groom, a wandering soul who had just left his body, the pressure brought by Zhang Jiuyang was incomparable. He was like a god that could not be looked at directly, and as majestic as a mountain.

“Not just guessing!”

Although the groom was afraid, he still spoke out bravely because of his love for his wife.

"Wanqing told me yesterday that she has been having nightmares recently. She dreams of a woman wearing a red wedding dress and holding a black umbrella, walking towards her, getting closer and closer. In the end, she always wakes up from the dream with a dull pain in her chest..."

"At the time, I thought she was just too tired recently, so I didn't take it too seriously. Now it seems that there must be an evil spirit at work that killed Wanqing!"

"But when I told this to others, they didn't believe it..."

At this moment, the groom truly understood how his wife felt when she told him the story with fear, but he totally ignored it.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiuyang finally showed some interest.

If it was really an evil creature, it was able to evade his divine eyes and divination skills without leaving any flaws. It is quite amazing.

He slowly walked to the coffin containing the bride's body. His divine eye penetrated the coffin lid and saw the body of a woman in a red wedding dress.

There was indeed no sign of evil possession, such as an unexpected sudden death, and even the spiritual official's divine eyes could not find any flaws.

But the groom did not lie.

Moreover, Zhang Jiuyang's intuition told him that there was something wrong with the body, but he had overlooked some details.

What exactly is missing?
At this time, Ali's voice sounded.

"Nine Brother, her wedding dress is so beautiful, just as beautiful as the one worn by Sister Mingwang!"

She looked at it with envy. The wedding dress was exquisitely cut, colorful, and made of high-quality material. Every stitch and thread was ingeniously crafted. It was very similar to the one Aunt Shen had made for Sister Ming Wang.

Boom!

A word awakened the dreamer. Zhang Jiuyang's eyes fixed and he stared at the wedding dress with a gleam of light in his eyes.

He finally knew where the flaw was!
