The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 515 The world has been suffering for a long time
Yun Hetong, the elder of the White Clothes Alliance?

Zhang Jiuyang had heard of this name. It was said that he was the leader of the ten elders of the White Clothes Alliance, the right-hand man of the alliance leader, and often played the role of a military advisor.

According to legend, he was a scholar who took part in the imperial examinations but failed repeatedly. It was not because he had no talent, but because every time he passed, he would be replaced by the children of officials and wealthy families.

In the end, he became disheartened and wanted to commit suicide, but was enlightened by the leader of the White Clothes Alliance and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

When the imperial court heard that he had joined the White Shirt League, they beheaded his wife, children and all the elders in public.

Later, Yun Hetong's cultivation continued to improve, and he led the White Alliance to accomplish several sensational events, specializing in killing corrupt officials and dignitaries who bullied men and women. His reputation gradually grew, and he was known as the White Scholar.

Yue Ling once lamented that if the imperial court could select talents fairly based on their merits, Yun Hetong might have been a capable minister in governing the country instead of being forced to become a traitor.

At this moment, when Zhang Jiuyang saw the scholar in white, he found that he was indeed a man of great ambition and extraordinary bearing, especially his eyes, which were calm, confident and determined.

His breath was long, like a deep valley. He should be practicing the Taoist techniques, and he had already practiced them to an extremely profound level. He was a powerful cultivator in the fifth realm.

Of course, if Zhang Jiuyang wanted to kill him, it wouldn't take more than three moves.

"You are so bold that you dare to appear in front of me, a guest official of the Imperial Observatory. Have you never heard of... who my wife is?"

Although Zhang Jiuyang was very interested in the file, he did not check it immediately. Instead, he looked at Yun Hetong leisurely.

"Your Madam is Ming Wang Yue Ling, and she is also the current deputy director of the Imperial Observatory. She is second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the Imperial Observatory!"

Yun Hetong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhang Jiuyang was slightly startled. Ling'er has become the deputy supervisor? Why didn't she write to him?

"Mrs. Yue was promoted to deputy supervisor today. I believe Master Zhang will receive the news tonight or tomorrow."

His words made Zhang Jiuyang's eyes focus, and then looking at the file in his hand, Zhang Jiuyang suddenly laughed.

"You, the White Clothes Alliance, are well-informed. I'm afraid you have many spies like Shao Ming."

"The world has been suffering for a long time."

Yun Hetong sighed, "It is because countless patriots risked their lives that we have such sharp ears and eyes. For example, in order to copy this file, we sacrificed six patriots who had been lurking for many years. Every word on it is stained with their blood."

"In that case, where were you when Shao Ming's family was killed?"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly asked, his eyes sharp as lightning.

Yun Hetong's eyes flashed with shame, and he said, "We had some problems internally at that time, and we were too busy to take care of ourselves..."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and slowly opened the file. When he saw the name of the investigator, he was shocked and gained a new understanding of the White Alliance's capabilities.

There were only four words written on the yellowed paper - Zhuge Qixing!
The Yuding Palace was suddenly destroyed that year. Zhuge Qixing personally supervised the case and wrote the case file himself. But just when progress was being made, he suddenly sealed the case, causing it to become an unsolved case.

Yue Ling once wanted to borrow this file, but due to her position as a supervisor, she was not qualified.

"This volume is a copy, not the original, but the contents are all true. Master Zhang, why don't you take a look at it first?"

Zhang Jiuyang didn't say anything and continued to flip through the pages.

"In the destruction of Yuding Palace, 1,279 people died, nearly half of whom died from lightning strikes, and half died from exhaustion, which seemed to be caused by burning a large amount of blood and essence."

"However, no traces of lightning were found in the Jade Cauldron Ruins, and the sect's most precious treasure, the Nine Immortal Cauldron, also disappeared without a trace..."

The file is recorded in great detail, listing many doubts. It can be said that the author is meticulous and insightful, and all the points he points out are very accurate.

For example, the mountain protection formation of Yuding Palace was not activated. After investigation, it was found that the foundation of the formation was secretly destroyed in advance, and it was suspected that there was a traitor inside and outside. Another example is that the Taixuan Mountain Range has moved slightly, and there are suspected traces of giant turtles crawling.

According to the contents of the file, Zhang Jiuyang could see that Zhuge Qixing was deducing layer by layer, advancing step by step, and restoring the truth of the destruction of Yu Ding step by step, and had made great progress.

He grasped the clue that the mountain protection formation had been destroyed in advance, and traced back to the fact that just before the destruction of Yu Ding, many palaces on the mountain had been repaired, and a large number of craftsmen had entered them.

However, secretly destroying the cornerstone of the Yuding Mountain Protection Array is a huge project.

At this point, we only need to further trace the sources of those craftsmen and follow the clues to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. The case is basically clear at this point.

But Zhuge Qixing suddenly closed the case.

He attributed the failure of the formation to disrepair and believed that a giant black turtle had descended on the Yuding Palace, crashed into Taixuan Mountain, and took away the sect's treasured tripod.

This was the case of the demon crashing into the mountain that was famous all over the world back then.

Zhang Jiuyang finished reading the entire file, looking thoughtful, and then looked at Yun Hetong and said indifferently: "You are not trying to tell me that those craftsmen were sent by the court."

Yun Hetong nodded and said, "I think this is the only possibility that could make the Imperial Master Zhuge Qixing close the case so hastily."

After a pause, he looked at Zhang Jiuyang with fiery eyes.

"Master Zhang, the Yuding Palace was so loyal to the imperial court, but it still suffered this disaster. It shows that those people like to get rid of the donkey after it has done its work and hide the bow after the bird is gone. Why should you continue to work for them?"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled. What a guy, he wants to recruit me into the gang.

"Master Zhang, to be honest, this Taixuan Mountain is infested with demons and monsters, and it is extremely dangerous. The tyrant emperor gave you the deed, and I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions. They have always been jealous and afraid of a genius like you, and they wish they could destroy you as soon as possible!"

"But if you are willing to join our White Clothes Alliance, you will immediately become the deputy leader. All of us, the ten elders, will obey you, and millions of followers will regard you as a god!"

Facing Yun Hetong's impassioned words, Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and said, "I don't like others to treat me like a god, because I am just a human being."

"Elder Yun, please go back and tell your leader that I appreciate your kindness, but if we meet in the future, tell him to be careful."

The White Alliance seems to be righteous, but they are just a group of ambitious people in religious garb.

Their purpose is not to enlighten the people, on the contrary, they like to make the people bow down and kneel down, and in the name of God, make the people who already live a hard life contribute their last wealth and lives.

Yue Ling once said that when the White Shirt League fought with people in the imperial court, they often liked to let the people who believed in them drink magic water, at the cost of overdrawing their lives in exchange for a short period of invulnerability to swords and guns and infinite power.

Even children as young as eight or nine years old had to go to the battlefield.

Moreover, the White Alliance has a strict hierarchy, and the lower-level believers are not even qualified to kiss the footprints of those above them.

Zhang Jiuyang was naturally ashamed to join such a sect.

Because he had already seen what kind of people were truly willing to fight for the people.

"Let's go up the mountain."

Zhang Jiuyang took Shao Yun's hand and looked up at the endless Taixuan Mountain and the mountain top surrounded by clouds. His eyes were a little dazed, as if he saw the holy mountain with a burning spark on Earth in his previous life.

From today on, he will create a true "White Alliance".
