The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 467: Divine Power to See Destiny
"Confusing cause and effect? ​​Is it the magical power of Baiyun Temple?"

Yue Shuai was well-informed. When he heard the name, he quickly thought of Baiyun Temple. However, he frowned and said, "I heard that only the abbot of Baiyun Temple knows this magical power. It is extremely mysterious and outsiders don't even know its power..."

"Forget it. Although Baiyun Temple has no relationship with my Yue family, I still have some face left. I will go and invite that... what abbot in person right now?"

Yue Shuai suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten the name of the abbot of Baiyun Temple.

Zhang Jiuyang sighed and said, "It was Abbot Tonghui. It's not that you forget, but Abbot Tonghui has passed away. It's just that the news has not yet spread, and he died from the spell of reversing cause and effect."

Yue Shuai was shocked and asked, "What should we do?"

"Let me try it."

"You also confuse cause and effect?"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "I understand a little bit."

Yue Shuai took a deep breath. He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this young man who was about to become his son-in-law.

Not only does Zhang Jiuyang have a strong Taoist foundation and profound skills, he is also proficient in the supreme magical powers of Zen Buddhism?
That's the cause. I heard that among the 108 unique skills of Baiyun Temple, they can be ranked in the top five.

Zhang Jiuyang stopped talking and slowly exhaled. Then he sat cross-legged, forming the seal of infinite merit with one hand and the seal of great freedom and Buddha with the other. Suddenly, an ethereal and misty Zen spirit emanated from his whole body.

Tranquil, at ease, and patient.

At this moment, although there was no brilliance shining from his body, Yue Shuai felt inexplicably dazzling, as if there was an invisible and intangible light shining in all directions.

Now he finally believed that Zhang Jiuyang actually knew the unique skills of Baiyun Temple, and seemed to have reached a certain level of cultivation.

He didn't know about Zhang Jiuyang's adventure in Baiyun Temple.

After leaving Baiyun Temple, Zhang Jiuyang acquired the seventy-two unique skills created by the Baiyun Patriarch. Among them, the one that interested him the most was the art of reversing the cause and effect.

There is no other reason, it’s just because even the Heavenly Venerable is practicing this magical power.

This method has three levels, namely, chaotic cause and effect, severed cause and effect, and reversed cause and effect. When you reach the highest level, you can even reverse the effect and turn back time.

Of course, even Patriarch Baiyun himself had not yet reached the third level; that was just his conception.

But Tianzun seemed to be trying to cultivate this magical power to the highest level. He has now reached the realm of breaking cause and effect, and has even gone a step further, reaching a realm that even Patriarch Baiyun had never reached.

So Zhang Jiuyang would take advantage of his free time to comprehend this magical power.

He has an extraordinary level of comprehension and extraordinary talent, and possesses the one-of-a-kind spiritual power of the Tiandun Sword Intention, which can help him cut off distracting thoughts and reach a state of great purity and freedom, which is similar to the Buddhist pursuit of purity of the six senses and a state of mind where all appearances are empty.

Therefore, he made rapid progress in this magical power and has gradually reached the threshold of the first level of chaotic cause and effect.

With his magical powers working, Zhang Jiuyang suddenly fell into a wonderful state without sadness or joy, without color or form. He slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be nebulae flowing in his eyes, vast and deep, full of infinite wisdom.

At this moment, in his eyes, the surrounding world was filled with all kinds of cause and effect lines, which were as numerous as a tangled thread, entangled and confusing, and could not be sorted out at all.

This is a sign that his supernatural powers are not enough. If he can reach the first level of chaotic cause and effect, he will be able to completely see through the law of cause and effect, sort out the complicated cause and effect line, and even cause a small disturbance.

If he reaches the second level, he will be able to cut off certain causes and effects.

At the third level, he is like a god who controls cause and effect. He can mobilize it at will, or even create cause and effect, making it his own weapon.

Zhang Jiuyang has only touched the threshold of the first level now. He cannot fully understand these cause and effect lines, let alone touch them, but he can see his own cause and effect clearly.

There is a very strong causal line on his body, symbolizing marriage, connecting him and Yue Ling, and it is as unbreakable as steel.

Zhang Jiuyang followed this line, tracking it with his eyes, trying to find some clues.

His magic power was being consumed drastically, and he even felt an inexplicable pressure, which was the backlash brought about by touching the cause and effect.

If it weren't for his profound cultivation and extremely strong body, he would probably not be able to hold on at this moment.

But Zhang Jiuyang still gritted his teeth and persisted. After an unknown amount of time, his eyes lit up and he finally followed the line of cause and effect and saw Yue Ling's figure.

What he originally wanted to find was where Yue Ling was now, but because he was not very proficient in magic, it seemed that there was a time misalignment, and what he saw was actually Yue Ling as a child.

She held the red tasseled spear in the midst of heavy snow, practicing her spear skills over and over again, dancing with great vigor.

My half sister, who was born to the same mother, was sitting in front of the window, watching and clapping, her face flushed and her eyes filled with envy and admiration.

No, it's too early!

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head, tried hard to correct the time and continued looking. At this moment, 60% of the mana in his body had been consumed. If he were an ordinary fifth-level cultivator, he would probably have died directly from the exhaustion of mana and the drain of vitality.

This spell is really powerful.

This time, he saw Yue Ling leaving Jizhou City with a flying crane and leaving a letter for Zhang Jiuyang in his room.

"The headquarters has ordered me to urgently investigate the case of the sudden death of the bride in Jizhou. You are in seclusion now, so time is running out. I will go to the branch office first and will be back before the wedding tomorrow. Don't worry."

After a pause, Yue Ling hesitated, then picked up the pen and wrote another line of words.

"This transfer order came too hastily. I always feel that something is wrong. I don't want to tell my mother and make her worry. After you read the letter, if I still haven't returned, come to the branch to find me."

Seeing this, Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. Yue Ling was indeed an experienced warrior. She actually noticed something wrong.

It was her strong sense of responsibility and a soldier's duty to obey orders that made her rush on the road despite her doubts.

Of course, with this little suspicion, I believe she will be more vigilant.

But what Zhang Jiuyang was puzzled about was why he didn’t see the letter?

The answer was soon revealed. Not long after Yue Ling left, a figure sneaked into her room. It turned out to be a maid in charge of cleaning. She opened the letter, took a quick look at it, and then burned it to ashes.

The scene changed, and Yue Ling used the Thunder Escape Technique and rushed towards the branch.

But halfway through, she suddenly stopped, as if she sensed some breath, and slowly fell to the ground with the Overlord Spear in her hand, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"come out."

The next moment, a figure slowly walked out from the moonlight, dressed in white, handsome and elegant, with a purple gold gourd hanging around his waist. It was Zhang Jiuyang!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiuyang instead revealed a hint of a sneer, mocking in his heart that the other party probably didn't understand that he could become anyone except him.

Because Yue Ling and he have such a good understanding of each other, he can detect something is wrong with just a glance or a gesture.

This has nothing to do with the level of the magic, but there are some things that even magic cannot make up for.

As expected, after seeing Zhang Jiuyang, Yue Ling did not relax or show any enthusiasm. Instead, she asked, "Aren't you in seclusion? Why are you following me?"

Zhang Jiuyang walked slowly towards Yue Ling and said with a smile, "Of course I'm worried about you."

His expression and tone were disguised so perfectly that even Zhang Jiuyang had to praise him. He really put in a lot of effort. It was a pity that he met Yue Ling.

Whoosh!
The Dragon Tiger Overlord Spear did not make any unnecessary movements. The tip of the spear was like a flash of lightning, and it pierced Zhang Jiuyang's throat in an instant.

Quick, accurate and ruthless, without any hesitation, killing without hesitation.

puff!
Zhang Jiuyang's throat was pierced directly by a gunshot, and then his body was burned to ashes by the golden flames gushing from the gun.

But Yue Ling did not relax.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Applause broke out, and a figure in a black robe walked out of the woods again. He smiled and said, "As expected of Longhu, I said back then that within ten years, you will be famous all over the world, and no one in the Imperial Observatory will be able to compare with you."

"Who are you anyway?"

Yue Ling asked word by word.

He slowly took off the black robe on his head, revealing a handsome face, elegant temperament, and a warm smile, but there was a winding scar on his face.

"Sister Yue, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Yue Ling's pupils narrowed, she had already recognized him. He was Zhuge Yu, the young imperial tutor who was unrivaled in the Imperial Observatory back then. He had taught her for a period of time and was quite caring towards her.

"Long Hu, you don't seem... very surprised to see that I'm still alive?"

Zhuge Yu's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said, "It seems that you and Zhang Jiuyang have found out that I'm still alive, which is amazing."

"But you have to know that there are some things that you cannot touch. If you dig too deep... you may get killed."

Facing this threat, Yue Ling simply said, "A person who is afraid of death will not be admitted to the Imperial Observatory. Wasn't it you who was the craziest and least fearless person in investigating the case back then?"

"You taught me all these."

Zhuge Yu was silent for a moment. He stared at the heroic woman in golden armor and red robe under the moon. She was dignified and remained calm and righteous in the face of danger. He admired her spirit very much.

In a trance, he seemed to see the little girl who was full of resilience and stubbornness, kneeling at the gate of the Imperial Observatory for seven days and seven nights before her father finally accepted her.

It was then that he noticed Yue Ling and took the initiative to request that she be transferred under his command.

After that, the little girl continued to surprise him, grew rapidly at an astonishing rate, helped him solve one case after another, and became his right-hand man.

Her tenacity, perseverance, intelligence, bravery and courage all deeply attracted him.

"Longhu, can I ask you a question?"

Yue Ling put away his spear and said calmly: "For the sake of our past friendship, you asked, but I may not answer. After you ask, you and I will fight to the death."

In the past, the two were partners who fought side by side. Yue Ling even regarded him as a brother. At Zhuge Yu's funeral, she secretly vowed that she would eradicate all the evil spirits in the underworld.

But now, she already knew that the two were enemies to the death and were completely on opposite sides.

"Just now I was pretending to be Zhang Jiuyang. How did you find my flaw?"

Yue Ling shook her head and said, "You are still the same as before. Whenever you encounter setbacks, you immediately reflect on your mistakes and adjust your strategies. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you can't change."

Zhuge Yu was a little surprised and confused.

"No matter how much you act like him, you are not him. This is the biggest flaw."

She and Zhang Jiuyang had a tacit understanding, and after practicing dual cultivation many times, that tacit understanding reached a peak. Even though Zhuge Yu had imitated him almost perfectly, she knew it was fake at just one glance.

No reason, just knowing.

If it’s not him, then it’s the biggest flaw.

So she shot without hesitation and with murderous intent.

Zhuge Yu smiled bitterly. He did not believe such illogical and unreasonable words, but he also knew that Yue Ling had an intuition as sharp as a wild animal.

"Zhang Jiuyang is a lucky man, Longhu. Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't gone undercover back then, but stayed in the Imperial Observatory with you, then would we be the ones getting married tomorrow?"

Yue Ling frowned and said, "You suddenly showed up tonight, is it just to say these boring words?"

Zhuge Yu laughed, and instantly put away all his emotions, and said calmly: "Long Hu, aren't you curious about why I changed my previous beliefs and chose to stand on Huang Quan's side?"

Yue Ling shook her head and said, "No matter what the reason is, it is not worth forgiving."

Hearing this, Zhuge Yu sneered and said, "Long Hu, do you think that just because Tianzun is the ancestor of my Zhuge family, I will abandon my ideals and beliefs and betray my comrades?"

Yue Ling's eyes narrowed, she didn't expect that the other party would directly reveal the identity of Tianzun!
"Don't be surprised. I know that you and Zhang Jiuyang have already investigated this far. He does have some abilities that have attracted the attention of the Heavenly Lord. But to be honest, if the Heavenly Lord had not forbidden me to take action against him..."

Zhuge Yu smiled faintly, but his voice was filled with an unconcealable pride.

"He has died countless times."

"It is ridiculous that a monkey becomes the king when there is no tiger in the mountain."

"But for this wedding, I will prepare a great gift for him, so that he will know what it means to...see the world from a well."
