The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 469: Yue Ling's Death? The Mystery of Qian Yuan

What Zhang Jiuyang was most worried about at the moment was Yue Ling's safety. He didn't know the background of that girl who was eager to get married, but she was able to cooperate with Zhuge Yu to temporarily suppress Yue Ling.

Through the glimpse just now, he could conclude that the strength of the girl who was eager to get married should not be underestimated, and that there was a divine fluctuation in her body, a bit like the incarnation of a god, but also with an indescribable weirdness.

"I will peel off your skin and make the most perfect wedding dress with my own hands..."

The words of the girl who was eager to get married emerged in Zhang Jiuyang's mind, and he began to have an ominous premonition, which was a direction he didn't even want to think about.

Could it be that Yue Ling... had been killed?

He used the Sky Escape Sword Intent to forcibly cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind, keeping himself calm, then drank the jade liquid in the gourd and practiced the Jade Ding Mysterious Art.

Rays of moon-white light flowed over his body, as if he was covered with a layer of bright moonlight. Under the Jade Ding Mystical Art, which was as powerful as a furnace, a large amount of jade liquid essence was absorbed and refined by him. Wisps of white mist emerged from his head, making the surroundings become full of clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

It's like an immortal refining his energy.

His originally pale complexion recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The blood color in his eyes also dissipated, and his vision recovered normally.

After three quarters of breathing, most of his magic power had been restored.

"My dear son-in-law, what did you see?"

Seeing that Zhang Jiuyang had finished regulating his breathing, Yue Shuai asked hurriedly.

Zhang Jiuyang opened his eyes and was about to speak, but suddenly his gaze focused and he saw a paper crane flying in the distance.

That was the paper crane sent by the Jizhou branch.

Zhang Jiuyang stretched out his hand, and the paper crane automatically flew to his palm. When he opened it, he was shocked.

"Master Zhang, we searched according to your instructions, and indeed found a very strange wedding dress in the tailor shop in Lushui City. It was beautiful yet almost demonic. We also found the waist badge of Yuetou in the shop."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart rumbled as if he was struck by lightning.

Without any hesitation, he flew towards Lushui City at a speed as fast as lightning. It took him only a few breaths to reach the city. He saw the location of the tailor shop with his divine eye and passed through the wall directly.

This tailor shop looked similar to the ones in Jizhou City. The owner had long been controlled by the people from the Imperial Observatory. When they saw Zhang Jiuyang, the Si Chens saluted with awe in their eyes.

On display in the store was a wedding dress that was so beautiful it was almost enchanting. It was as bright as blood, as smooth as satin, and every strand of gold thread was sparkling and magnificent.

Zhang Jiuyang ignored the voices of others and walked straight towards the wedding dress. He slowly stretched out his hand, and his palm was trembling slightly.

Finally, he touched the wedding dress. It felt delicate, soft and elastic, as if it was sliding across his lover's skin.

Zhang Jiuyang stood there blankly. Even with the Heavenly Escape Sword Intention, he still couldn't suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

Yue Ling...was really murdered?

The cruel scenes seemed to flash through his mind, Yue Ling was skinned by the woman who hated marrying and died with hatred...

Unconsciously, his eyes began to turn blood red, and a terrible murderous and violent aura filled the tailor shop, making the tailors pale, trembling with fear, and almost unable to breathe.

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes became extremely indifferent, as if he had lost all emotions in an instant, empty and cold.

But at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in, holding a black umbrella, wearing a red dress, and walked straight towards Zhang Jiuyang's back.

He turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and the Chunyang Sword turned into golden light and flew out. The astonishing sword energy cut sword marks on the surrounding walls.

But when he saw who it was, he was stunned.

The black umbrella was slowly raised, revealing the face of the person who came. He had extremely handsome features, firm and sharp eyes, a straight nose, and lips as thin as a knife blade, exuding a heroic spirit.

Yue Ling smiled at him, like a blooming magnolia flower.

"Why, you dare to do it before we even get married?"

Just like Yue Ling could instantly tell that Zhuge Yu was fake, Zhang Jiuyang could be sure the person in front of him was indeed Yue Ling the first time he saw her, and not some kind of transformation technique.

In an instant, he relaxed completely, and suddenly he realized that there was a layer of cold sweat on his back, and a strong sense of relief surged in his heart.

This feeling is like finding out that a loved one has passed away. You are extremely sad, and then suddenly wake up to find that it was just a dream.

Although it was a nightmare, it made people feel that the world suddenly became a better place.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you standing there like an idiot, not moving at all?"

Yue Ling walked forward, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't think I'm dead, do you, Zhang Jiuyang? I am also in the sixth realm after all. I have been through life and death for countless years. It is no exaggeration to say that I have encountered no fewer dangers than you--"

Before she finished her words, Zhang Jiuyang had already pounced on her and hugged her tightly in his arms. He was so excited that he didn't control his strength well, and the two of them crashed through the wall.

"Zhang Jiuyang, you are born in the year of the dog—hmm!"

Yue Ling's voice stopped abruptly, her pupils slightly dilated, her red lips were already being kissed by Zhang Jiuyang, her teeth knocking against each other.

A blush suddenly appeared on her handsome face because she saw the shocked and excited eyes of the officials in the Imperial Observatory.

She has always been a ruthless person in the Imperial Observatory. She is resolute and decisive, strong and domineering, and has great prestige. Not to mention these Si Chen, even Lingtai Lang has to be respectful and trembling with fear when seeing her.

But today, she felt that the prestige and cold-faced image she had built up over a long period of time were about to collapse.

She wanted to push him away, but she felt the unrest in Zhang Jiuyang's heart. Finally, she sighed in her heart and chose to glare at those Si Chens fiercely.

In an instant, Si Chen and others woke up as if from a dream, the birds and beasts scattered, and they covered their eyes while running, indicating that they saw nothing.

But Yue Ling knew that when these guys returned, she didn't know how they would spread what happened today.

Yue Ling was helpless about this and could only lower the black umbrella to cover her face and choose to be an ostrich.

...outside the tailor shop.

The Si Chens voluntarily stood guard outside, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering, but they looked at each other with a hint of amusement in their eyes.

"I never thought that Yuetou had such a feminine side. She was actually shy just now. Tsk tsk, Master Zhang is really amazing..."

"Yes, it's really something I've never seen before. It seems that even the strongest woman will melt once she falls in love."

"But Master Zhang is really good to our Yuetou. Today, he was so angry for his beloved that he defeated our Jizhou branch and no one was hurt. He is really amazing!"

"Some people said before that Zhang Jiuyang was not worthy of Yuetou, but now it seems that they are a perfect match made in heaven!"

"By the way, guess how long they're going to kiss?"

"I guess one stick of incense, and I bet ten taels of silver!"

"I guess--"

boom!
Before a young Si Chen could finish his words, he felt something hit his body. He flew up and hit the wall like a painting.

It turned out that it was just a stone that bounced him away.

In the tailor shop, Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling walked out hand in hand. The blush on her face had disappeared, replaced by the same coldness and majesty as before.

"One by one, you're all full and have nothing to do?"

"If anyone has nothing to do, I am willing to practice martial arts with him."

Her eyes were as sharp as swords, and wherever she went, the Si Chens trembled in fear, finally remembering how terrifying this female devil from the Imperial Observatory was.

"Cough cough."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work today. Let's go back and have a rest. We will have our wedding tomorrow. Please come to the banquet. We won't leave until we are drunk!"

Si Chen and the others did not dare to leave immediately, but looked at Yue Ling first. When they saw her nod, they felt relieved and said goodbye to Zhang Jiuyang and the others and left.

The two walked hand in hand, and Yue Ling looked up at him from time to time with a look that seemed to be smiling.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhang Jiuyang was a little puzzled.

"Zhang Jiuyang, this is the first time I see you so panicked. If I really die, and that wedding dress is really made of my skin, what will you do?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Jiuyang was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "If you really die, I will help you avenge."

"Gone?"

"Then I'll marry a dozen concubines and go to your grave to dance every day to piss you off to death."

Yue Ling: “…”

"Of course, in the process of helping you to avenge yourself, I might become even more unscrupulous, and many innocent people might die."

"For example...bloodbath of the Zhuge family."

Yue Ling's eyes were filled with emotion as she said, "It seems like you really can't leave me."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and looked at her, saying, "Why, do you regret not faking your death to escape and follow Zhuge Yu?"

Yue Ling glared at him, then asked in surprise: "No, how did you know?"

She didn't say anything.

"Haha, I know a lot. Tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Zhuge Yu? It seems to me that he is very special to you."

Hearing Zhang Jiuyang's somewhat jealous words, Yue Ling laughed subconsciously.

"Don't talk nonsense. Back then, he was more like a trustworthy brother to me. He took good care of me and taught me a lot. It's a pity..."

There was a hint of sadness in Yue Ling's eyes.

Although she acted righteous and firm as iron in front of Zhuge Yu, it was only in front of Zhang Jiuyang that she would honestly reveal the regret and sorrow in her heart.

The brother who was both his teacher and friend back then has now become his mortal enemy and has betrayed the ideals and beliefs of the Imperial Observatory that have been passed down for 600 years.

It is really a pity that the young man who once slayed demons and monsters has become one of the demons.

"I used the method of reversing the cause and effect to see some of the scenes at that time. I remember Zhuge Yu said that the reason he betrayed was not only because Tianzun was his ancestor, but also talked about the strange experience of the Three Heroes of Qianyuan, including Yue Junshen."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes showed a solemn look, and he asked: "Do you think he is lying, or is it true?"

Yue Ling thought about it carefully for a long time and finally gave an answer.

"Given Zhuge Yu's personality, he would be extremely distressed if he knew that Tianzun was really Zhuge Guoshi, but I believe... he would not betray his beliefs."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved.

This means that Zhuge Yu was not lying. His defection was not only due to his identity as Tianzun, but also because of the so-called "truth".

"Zhang Jiuyang, maybe we really need to find an opportunity to go to the Imperial Mausoleum."

Yue Ling's eyes narrowed, and he said firmly: "Perhaps there, we can find the truth of the past and completely solve the mystery of the Three Heroes of Qianyuan!"
