The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 52 One Day with a Knife in Hand
Seeing Zhang Jiuyang's big reaction, Yue Ling frowned slightly, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"What does peripheral... mean?"

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the heroic face of the female general and couldn't help feeling uneasy. No way, could it be that my charm has reached this level?

If she really means that, should I obey or agree?

Yue Ling said calmly: "The so-called peripheral personnel are external personnel of my Imperial Observatory. They are in a cooperative relationship. Only Lingtai Lang has the qualifications to recommend peripheral personnel."

"Although your strength is a little lacking, your body is a little weak, and your swordsmanship... is a little ignorant, but you are young and you are practicing the most difficult Jade Ding Xuan Gong. You have great potential."

Zhang Jiuyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as that wasn't what he meant.

No, she seems to be scolding me?
"By becoming my peripheral, you will be considered one of my own in the Imperial Observatory. It's nothing for one of my own to write a few novels."

"In addition, you will also be able to share the treasure house of my Imperial Observatory. You can use your good deeds to exchange for various natural treasures, martial arts manuals, or intelligence. You can even use your good deeds to mobilize the power of the Imperial Observatory to a certain extent when you need it."

Zhang Jiuyang was somewhat moved by these words.

His painting of fire dragon and water tiger was obtained by Lao Gao from the treasure house of the Imperial Observatory. According to Lao Gao, the treasure house of the Imperial Observatory was all-encompassing, gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools, and even the former National Master Zhuge left behind a legacy.

There are countless natural treasures and panaceas.

After all, behind the Imperial Observatory is the support of the entire Daqian national strength.

"But what do I need to pay?"

Zhang Jiuyang knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and there must be a price behind such excellent conditions.

But to his surprise, Yue Ling shook her head.

"After becoming my peripheral, you are not under the jurisdiction of others. Even if I issue you a mission, you can choose to refuse it. However, if you do that, you will not be able to obtain good merits."

Zhang Jiuyang immediately understood that this was indeed a cooperative relationship. The other party was using the various resources in the treasure house to lure you. If you wanted it, you had to help the Imperial Observatory to complete the task and get the reward.

If the other party doesn't want it, they can't force it.

After all, everyone has only one life.

Of course, what Zhang Jiuyang values ​​most is not those so-called treasures. He has the visualization map and has no shortage of inheritance. What he needs most is incense.

His identity as an external member of the Imperial Observatory makes it easier for him to act.

"Okay, I agree."

He began to look forward to how much the popularity of the book "Zhong Kui Catching Ghosts" would increase.
There are more than 100,000 households in Qingzhou City. Even if only a small number of people believe it, it will be a huge gain!

Yue Ling nodded and said, "Originally, you have to go through a test to become an outer member, but you and Xiao Gao teamed up to kill Yun Niang, so you have passed the test."

"I have to recommend you first. Once you are approved by the higher-ups, you will officially become an outsider."

Zhang Jiuyang coughed and said, "General Yue, can you please give this book a break?"

Who knows what Daqian’s administrative efficiency is? What if we have to wait for several months?

Yue Ling glanced at him, shook her head, and said, "Wait until I finish reading it."

"Thank you, General Yue!"

She waved her hand, stopped talking, and continued to practice with her eyes closed.

Really hardworking!

Zhang Jiuyang was infected by his spirit and turned back to his house to practice. Although the essence within the Hundred Days Pass can be automatically converted into magic power, the efficiency will be faster if he can concentrate.

After he and A Li left, Yue Ling slowly opened her eyes again.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out the book "Zhong Kui Catches Ghosts" and turned to the place she had seen before.

Well, finish reading this paragraph and continue practicing.

Under the moonlight, the heroic female general put the Dragon Sparrow Sword aside and read a book carefully. Perhaps because she was alone, she was more relaxed and whispered from time to time. "You are just an evil ghost, you dare to eat people's hearts and livers, you have already received the way to death!"

When she read the exciting parts, her cold eyebrows slightly raised and a blush appeared on her white jade face.

"What a great Zhong Kui! Who says he is invincible? Who says he is undefeated? I will kill him until no more evil spirits dare to claim the throne!"

Time passes slowly.

When the first rays of morning light rose in the sky, Yue Ling finally finished reading the last page and closed the book.

There was a hint of trance in her eyes.

It’s gone, just like that?
Just when the story reached an exciting part, with the great god Zhong Kui holding the ghost-slaying sword and preparing for a fierce battle with the number one ghost king in the underworld, she saw a sentence, "To know what happens next, please listen to the next episode."

An unknown fire boiled in her heart. She took a deep breath and touched the Dragon Sparrow Sword clanging in its sheath.

……

"Morning--huh? What are you doing with the knife?"

Zhang Jiuyang woke up, opened the door and prepared to practice Zhongli Eight Section Brocade, but saw Yue Ling holding a dragon-sparrow saber, glancing at him with cold eyes, her black hair fluttering, as if she was filled with murderous intent.

Who has offended her so early in the morning?
"The First Ghost King of Huangquan is still alive. In addition, there is the Demon King, the Corpse Demon King, and the Hundred Ghosts Taoist who is the reincarnation of an immortal but fell into evil. Why didn't you write about these?"

"And what secrets are hidden in the Fountain of Youth? I haven't even written any of this yet, and you're done?"

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned for a while, then asked, "You, you watched it all night?"

Yue Ling's eyes flashed with an unnatural look, and she glanced sideways and said, "No, I was just flipping through it. Zhang Jiuyang, I'm asking you now."

This was the first time in all these years that she was so "indulgent" that she even forgot about her cultivation.

If people who know me knew about this, they would definitely not believe it.

"Ahem, put the knife away first."

Zhang Jiuyang took a step back and said with a wry smile, "The hole I dug is really a bit big, I don't know how to fill it, but don't worry, when I write the next one, I will show it to you first!"

Yue Ling sheathed the knife neatly and calmly.

"I'm not interested, but as your recommender, I must review the contents of the book first. Otherwise, if there is any problem, I will be held responsible."

"Understand, understand!"

Zhang Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that his first book fan would be Yue Henren, also known as Ming Wang. The pressure seemed a bit great.

He cleared his mind and began to practice Zhongli Eight-Section Brocade in the morning light, slowly improving his physical fitness.

One day, he will compete with Yue Ling!
Looking at Zhang Jiuyang who was practicing, Yue Ling showed a slight smile.

"Mr. Liaozhai..."

"He's physically weak, but he's really good at writing stories. I'm afraid this name will soon spread throughout Qingzhou City."

After a moment, she slowly drew out the Dragon Sparrow Sword and began her practice for the day.

In the courtyard, one person was meditating and another was practicing swordplay. The morning light was bright and the red sun was rising.

The perch in the pond swims back and forth, seemingly enjoying a leisurely life.

Ali reached out and caught one, then knocked it unconscious with the pink kitchen knife.

I made sea bass soup for Brother Jiu and Sister Mingwang today!
