The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 541 Jade-faced Swordsman, Goodbye Painted Skin

"Master, the spirit of this rapist seems to have dissipated..."

Just as Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling were bickering, the voice of disciple Shao Yun suddenly rang out.

He turned around and found that the soul of the rapist had indeed dissipated. Normally speaking, the soul of a cultivator in the fifth realm could not dissipate so quickly.

unless……

"It seems that some people have confessed themselves."

Zhang Jiuyang looked towards the direction of the imperial palace with a sneer on his face.

The timing of the operation of the National Protection Array was perfect. It just disrupted his plan to spy with the ghost-eating ability. During the confrontation, he even secretly destroyed the soul of the lecher.

"You mean, this rapist... is your Majesty's man?"

When Yue Ling heard this, her eyebrows raised, and at the same time, she looked incredulous, but also a hint of anger.

They ran around all this time, expending countless energy, before they finally tracked down this rapist and set up an ambush.

His Majesty often reprimands them for their poor performance and for not achieving any results for so long.

It seems that no matter how hard you try to guard against thieves day and night, you can never prevent thieves from roaming your own home!
"Master, this rapist's face is a little strange. It is not his true appearance. It seems to be covered with a layer of human skin. Do you want to peel it off and take a look?"

The golden pattern between Shao Yun's eyebrows glowed with light. He carefully examined the rapist's body and made a different discovery.

"peel."

Following Zhang Jiuyang's order, he drew out his dagger and gently cut open the rapist's skin. It was indeed a piece of human skin, but it was tightly fitted to the skin.

As Shao Yun peeled it with force, a piece of skin from head to toe was peeled off. When it left the human body, it instantly lost its luster and became dull and yellow.

Under the human skin was a withered face, almost skin and bones, as if most of the flesh and blood had been eaten away by the human skin.

The human skin was still moving slightly, trying to climb onto Shao Yun's body. There seemed to be countless tiny needle holes under the skin, piercing into his flesh and blood, devouring his blood and energy wantonly.

Yue Ling was a little nervous seeing that he was just a teenager and wanted to help, but saw Zhang Jiuyang shaking his head.

If you are carrying Erlang Zhenjun's visualization map and cannot even handle a small situation like this, then you should return the visualization map as soon as possible.

Facts have proved that Shao Yun did not disappoint him. The Great Freedom Zhoutian Jiyi Gong was activated suddenly, and the magic power in his body circulated around the body like a tsunami, directly shaking the human skin away. Then, with a swing of the dagger, he nailed it to the ground.

Reacts very quickly and remains calm in emergencies.

"Wait, this person... seems to be the Jade-faced Sword Immortal Xu Liuyun!"

At this moment, Yue Ling seemed to recognize the identity of that tyrant, and her voice was full of surprise.

"Jade-faced Sword Immortal?"

Zhang Jiuyang had never heard of this name.

"The Jade-faced Sword Immortal was a master who rose to fame during my father's generation. He was the best among the young generation at that time and the eldest senior brother of the Shuiyun Sword Temple in Jingzhou!"

"At that time, he was a rare talent. Not only did he have extraordinary swordsmanship, he also inherited the true teachings of Shuiyun Sword School. He was also handsome and had an unparalleled appearance. That's why he was called the Jade-faced Sword Immortal. It is said that half of the female cultivators in Jingzhou were fascinated by him."

After a pause, Yue Ling shook his head and said, "Back then, he was hailed as the number one prodigy of the young generation in Jingzhou. He was planning to leave Jingzhou and meet heroes from other states, but he suddenly disappeared and there has been no news since then."

"This case is also an unsolved case in our Imperial Observatory. It is said that the old master of Shuiyun Sword Temple died with his eyes open. Until now, every disciple of the Sword Temple will bring a portrait of the senior brother when they go down the mountain. They have not given up the search."

"I didn't expect... that he is still alive and has become a... rapist?"

Yue Ling's eyes were very complicated.

If she had not been very interested in various unsolved cases and had not seen Xu Liuyun's portrait many times, she probably would not have recognized that the haggard and wretched-looking man in front of her was actually the Jade-faced Sword Immortal Xu Liuyun!
What has he experienced?
"Brother Jiu, this human skin is so interesting, and it can even erase the facial features!"

To others, the human skin is a terrifying monster, but to Ali, it is just like a toy.

She picked up the human skin without hesitation and rubbed it with her little hands, actually wiping off the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, as if they were painted on.

Zhang Jiuyang was reminded of the Painted Skin Master when he saw this scene. The Painted Skin Master's magical power was to take off the original body's skin and make a mask. After wearing it, he could replace the original body and gain the same figure, appearance and memory.

This piece of human skin is more like the painted skin in "Strange Stories". The evil ghost outlines and draws the facial features on the human skin, and then puts it on.

There seemed to be something in common between the two. Zhang Jiuyang felt a similar aura, like different derivatives of the same origin.

But the owner of the Painted Skin is dead, and his power is under his control. He has never heard of a second person who possesses similar Painted Skin powers.

"It seems that the cannibal Zhong Kui, the arsonist Lingguan, and the flower-picking Lu Dongbin are all the same person, just with different faces painted on the same skin."

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly spoke.

Yue Ling nodded, and then asked in confusion: "But why is it Xu Liuyun who has been missing for decades?"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly, glanced at the flying phoenix sculpture on the eaves in the distance, and said calmly: "That's something we need to ask our Majesty who is sitting on the dragon throne."

Yue Ling signaled him to be careful with his words and keep a low profile.

Even if he possesses an immortal golden body that can challenge the seventh realm, this is the capital city after all, a place that has been run by the Daqian royal family for more than 600 years. He still has to be careful.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Ling'er, it's New Year's Day, and I want to eat the dumplings you made."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and smiled.

"My cooking skills are not very good. How about we go to Mingxuan Restaurant in Beijing..."

"I just want to eat what you pack."

Yue Ling sighed, feeling both angry and amused, and said helplessly: "Then let's go back to White Tiger Pavilion. Don't complain about the bad food later."

She turned around to leave, but Zhang Jiuyang carried her into the carriage.

"Walk less, be careful of miscarriage."

"Let me go, how can I be so fragile?"

"No, Shao Yun, drive!"

"Yes, Master, Master's Wife, please sit tight."

Little Shao Yun smiled and admired his master's methods. The master's wife was so famous and powerful that he trembled with fear when he saw her, but his master treated her like a weak little girl and loved her.

Although he was young, he could see that although the Master's Wife seemed to be rejecting it, she was actually enjoying it.

"drive!"

The carriage moved forward slowly and gradually disappeared into the night.

Just after they left, the flying phoenix statue on the eaves not far away suddenly changed. The pupils of the stone carving actually lit up with a strange light.

……

Royal Palace, Jinluan Hall.

"He has discovered us. This man...is already a serious threat to us."

On the dragon throne, a figure slowly raised his head. His body was as fat as a mountain of flesh, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, like an eagle, with an indescribable majesty.

"You said that he didn't dare to come to Beijing for the time being, but it seems that you have failed again."

There stood a figure below, wearing a black robe and a black veil on her head. She was the mysterious female chief of the Jingye Division.

The female boss sighed softly, then slowly knelt down.

"It is my incompetence. Please punish me, Father."
