The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 543: Lü Zu's Precious Edict
"Brother Jiu, the meat filling needs to be cut into smaller pieces, like this!"

Ali swung up both knives and exerted force suddenly. In an instant, the knives chopped the pork on the chopping board into puree with a sound as crisp as firecrackers.

"Sister-in-law Ming Wang, don't use too much force when wrapping. Look, the filling is coming out!"

Ah Li rolled up her sleeves again and skillfully took the odd-shaped dumplings from Yue Ling's hand. With a gentle pinch of her small hands, she turned the ordinary dumplings into something magical.

She showed off her skills by making dumplings of various designs, sometimes like ingots, sometimes like crescent moons, and even made a dumpling in the shape of a fish, which was very lifelike and showed her skills in origami.

"Xiao Yunzi, make the fire burn brighter and the water boil!"

Seeing that Shao Yun was boiling water too slowly, she simply added more firewood herself, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath to make the flames in the stove rise.

Little Ali was busy for a while, and finally she suddenly realized that she was the one who was supposed to teach them, but now it seemed like she was the only one doing everything?

"I don't want to do this anymore!"

She pinched her waist in anger and decided to go on strike, but when she saw the poor cooking skills of Zhang Jiuyang and others, she couldn't help but take charge.

The night is getting darker.

Yue Ling's residence became lively. As the hot dumplings came out of the pot, Ao Ya poured the whole plate of them into his mouth, as if even chewing them was a blasphemy.

Someone from the Imperial Observatory came to deliver official business, but was forcibly driven away by Zhang Jiuyang.

It's the New Year, why don't you let his pregnant wife have a rest?

At this moment, he was taking care of Yue Ling in every possible way. Even though it was very warm in the room, he couldn't help but put a cloak on her.

He served her tea, asked her about her health, and even massaged her temples.

"I'm Yue Ling, Zhang Jiuyang, please restrain yourself."

Yue Ling felt a little embarrassed. She had always been responsible for taking care of others since she was a child. When had she ever been taken care of like this?

When handling cases, she has been to all kinds of dangerous places, so why would she be afraid of a little snow?
"It's only been three months, and the pregnancy has just shown. It's okay even if I go into battle. Besides, my child is not that fragile."

Yue Ling said calmly, her voice full of dominance.

"Haha, if you have the guts, tell this to your parents?"

Yue Ling instantly lost his composure and no longer had the domineering aura.

"Also, you shouldn't have kept this from me. Don't do it again."

Zhang Jiuyang could understand her motive for concealing the truth. She was worried that he would rush into the capital directly on impulse and be killed by the formation.

But understanding is one thing, and one still has to be angry.

If he was unaware of his wife's pregnancy and delivery, and was not by her side, that would be a real jerk and would be a regret for the rest of his life.

Yue Ling touched her belly, a hint of maternal glow appeared on her face, and her sharp eyebrows and eyes became much softer.

But soon she sighed again, revealing a hint of sadness.

"This child came at a very bad time."

The situation in the capital is becoming more and more turbulent, and it seems that a storm may come at any time. At this time, being pregnant is not a good thing for her.

The Emperor, the Yue Family, the Taiping Temple, Mount Longhu, the Imperial Observatory, the Jingye Division, the White Clothes Alliance...

These forces are so intertwined and complicated that no one knows when a war will break out.

What's more, there is an unfathomable Heavenly Lord sitting in the underworld, who seems to have planned a grand plan for more than 600 years.

Zhang Jiuyang held her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm here, you and the child will be fine."

Although it was a simple promise, it revealed his strong confidence and determination.

Yue Ling said with some worry: "Although the Immortal Golden Body is powerful, I am increasingly unable to see through this Majesty. Not only the formation, but there may be other things hidden in the capital. Zhang Jiuyang, you shouldn't reveal your cards so early."

Tonight, he used his Immortal Golden Body to challenge the Eight Formations of National Defense. Although it was extremely impressive and gave the emperor a warning, it also laid hidden dangers.

The trump card has been revealed, and the opponent will use it to make targeted moves.

"Who told you that my trump card is the immortal golden body?"

Zhang Jiuyang said something meaningful, which made Yue Ling's eyes light up.

The two of them were in tacit agreement and did not continue the conversation on this topic. "I came to Beijing for three purposes. The first is to see you and the child and protect you. The second is to find the imperial seal. The third is to find out more about our emperor."

The note left by Shao Ming said that the emperor was not the emperor.

This made Zhang Jiuyang sense something unusual. There might still be some mystery surrounding the death of the old emperor. Even the new emperor has been in power for many years but still feels uneasy.

In addition, the Daqian royal family should have more top-secret records about the Three Heroes of Qianyuan, and it is very likely that Tianzun is involved among them.

In short, he will come to the capital sooner or later. Now that he has decided to come, he cannot return empty-handed.

"But where do you plan to start? Go directly to see His Majesty?"

Yue Ling said with some concern: "I'm afraid His Majesty won't see you easily. He is too afraid of you."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and said, "Start with two places first."

"Two places?"

Yue Ling was a little surprised. If it were her, it would be difficult to find a single place to make a breakthrough in such a complicated matter involving royal secrets, but Zhang Jiuyang mentioned two places right away.

"The first breakthrough is the Moon Goddess."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes flickered, and he said, "She has lived in the palace for a long time and knows a lot of secrets. She can be said to be a local boss in the palace. If we can get her help, we should be able to gain something."

The Moon Goddess had said before that if one wanted to join forces to find the imperial seal, one should go to the largest rouge shop in the capital and give the bellyband to the shopkeeper.

It can be used now.

"This demon is cunning and harbors evil intentions. You must be careful."

Yue Ling gave careful instructions, paused, and added another sentence.

"No sacrifice of chastity allowed."

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Jiuyang said awkwardly: "Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes."

She answered very straightforwardly without any hesitation.

Zhang Jiuyang: “…”

"The second breakthrough is Senior Zhuge."

He quickly changed the subject and said, "I want to visit Senior Zhuge."

Zhuge Yunhu obviously knew a lot and seemed to be planning something. Yue Ling had kept her pregnancy a secret, but it did not escape Zhuge Yunhu's eyes.

It can be seen that in Zhuge Yunhu's view, if Zhang Jiuyang does not come to Beijing, Yue Ling might be in danger, and even he may not be able to protect her.

"Zhuge Jianzheng has been recuperating at home lately, and has not seen anyone. He even declined the summons from His Majesty, claiming to be ill."

Yue Ling frowned and said, "He may not be willing to see you."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled mysteriously and said, "I brought a gift that he can't refuse."

Yue Ling was curious and was about to ask what the gift was, but she saw his expression suddenly change and he showed an expression of uncontrollable joy.

"what happened?"

"Protect me."

Zhang Jiuyang didn't have time to explain too much, he immediately sat cross-legged with his eyes sparkling.

In his mind, an extremely strong wave came from Lu Zu's visualization picture, bursting with dazzling fairy light.

An extremely vast and majestic force descended into his spiritual palace.

"I sincerely pay my respects to you, the inner minister of Jade Purity, the chosen immortal of the Golden Palace. I have transformed myself into the teacher of the three religions, and I can judge the orders of the Five Thunders with my magic. I have awakened from the dream, and have forgotten my fame and fortune in the world; I have shone my precious sword, and I have slain the monsters in the world..."

The Lu Zu Precious Edict that he had been longing for for a long time finally came!
