The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 552: Yanyang Kun Steel, Dragon Stone
"The Queen is here!!"

Just as the emperor was about to smash the cup, a sharp voice suddenly rang out, and then the tense atmosphere around him suddenly changed.

Zhang Jiuyang clearly saw a hint of hesitation in the emperor's eyes.

Without much hesitation, the emperor put down the teacup. The sharpness in his eyes disappeared completely, and he looked harmless again.

Not far away, a dignified and beautiful figure sat on a phoenix chariot. She was wearing a golden phoenix robe, a butterfly hairpin inlaid with gold and pearls, and her hair was tied up high. She had a dignified temperament, but there was a hint of anxiety in the depths of her eyes.

When he saw that there was no action in the Imperial Garden and that the emperor and Zhang Jiuyang were safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why is the Queen in the mood to appreciate the flowers today?"

The emperor was all smiles and even stood up to pick her up himself, looking very intimate.

But the queen took a step back, bowed, and said, "I heard that Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain has arrived here, so I wanted to ask him to bless Rui'er. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

The emperor quickly helped the queen up, patted her hands and said with a smile: "Rui'er is my prince, how could I blame him? But didn't you invite Taoist Fang Yuan from Taiping Temple some time ago?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "It's different. After all, Taoist Fang Yuan is not the master of the temple, but Taoist Master Zhang is the master of a religion, the master of Taoism. I heard that he has spread Taoism widely and has done immeasurable merits. If Rui'er can receive his blessing, I will be relieved."

The emperor glanced at Zhang Jiuyang, who was silent and seemed to be regulating his breathing, then glanced at the queen, and finally made a decision.

"I see. Queen, please wait a moment. I have a few words to say to Master Zhang."

Empress Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and slowly took her leave. She was not negligent in etiquette at all, and her actions were well-thought-out, yet she was also very sharp.

The emperor returned to the pavilion and sat down again. He smiled at Zhang Jiuyang and said, "Master Zhang, it seems that I will have to trouble you to go to Kunning Palace."

"It is my honor to be able to bless the prince."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled faintly, still neither humble nor arrogant, but he was thinking in his heart that the Queen's arrival was too coincidental, as if she came to save him.

Is she really the Moon Goddess?
However, it seems that the emperor respects Empress Xiao very much.

Yue Ling once said that although Empress Xiao was a woman from a foreign race, she was virtuous, upright and incorruptible. She enjoyed considerable prestige not only in the palace but also in the court.

The current Northern Liao Emperor Xiao Zhifeng is his elder brother, and also a "Wolf Lord" with great talent and strategy. Northern Liao is thriving under his leadership and is already at its peak.

Therefore, although Empress Xiao had no relatives in the court, no one dared to look down on her, and even the emperor had to give her some respect.

When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.

The emperor looked at Zhang Jiuyang quietly, and suddenly asked, "I wonder if Master Zhang is interested in the position of Imperial Master?"

Zhang Jiuyang raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Like Zhuge Qixing?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Jiuyang thought about it, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't have such great ambitions, how dare I compare myself with Master Zhuge, Your Majesty, you are joking."

The emperor said meaningfully, "If Master Zhang was really not interested, why would he keep tracking down the news about Master Zhuge?"

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes narrowed as he once again looked at the fat emperor in front of him.

"Six hundred years ago, Master Zhuge died in mysterious circumstances. The Imperial Observatory investigated for many years and left a file. It is the top secret of our Great Qian. I think you will be very interested."

Zhuge's death!

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. Yue Ling had mentioned that file before and said that in the entire Daqian, only the Supervisor and the Emperor knew where the file was hidden and were qualified to read it.

The White Alliance was able to steal the files on the destruction of the Jade Tripod Palace, but even if they tried their best, they could never steal the files on Zhuge's death. Yue Ling had deduced that the files must contain some shocking secrets that had been sealed for six hundred years without ever seeing the light of day.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to show me?"

The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Of course I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

The emperor glanced at the chessboard and said, "I plan to convene the Luotian Grand Ceremony in advance. By then, I hope you can become the true... number one in Taoism."

"When the time comes, I will naturally send the file to you."

Zhang Jiuyang found that he could not quite see through the Emperor. He had just harbored murderous intentions towards him, but now he actually hoped that he could achieve the title of number one in the Taoist sect.

Without waiting for Zhang Jiuyang to answer, the emperor clapped his hands, and soon a team of guards came over carrying a box.

The box was not very big, but it took the combined efforts of several strong and skilled guards to lift it, one step at a time.

When the box was put down, dust flew everywhere and there was a sudden shock all around.

The box was tied with thick chains, which were all made of precious black iron. There were six large locks hanging on it, as well as sealing talismans and formation patterns.

It took about a quarter of an hour just to open the shackles on the box step by step.

When the box was opened, two forces rushed out. One was a heat flow, as hot as magma, which made the temperature around it rise rapidly, and a trace of charred black appeared on the rosewood of the pavilion.

The other force is as soft as water, like thousands of layers of waves endlessly transforming into clouds, smoke and mist, making the surroundings look like a fairyland.

Zhang Jiuyang took a closer look and discovered that they were actually two strange minerals.

"The one on the left is called Yanyang Kun Steel. It is made of meteorite iron that has been burned by the fire of the earth veins for thousands of years. Although it is only the size of a palm, it contains the heat of the earth veins of an entire volcano. It is the most rigid and yang wonder in the world."

"As for the ore on the right, it is the Dragon Rock that was born from the bottom of the sea thousands of feet deep. It is said that it was transformed from the remains of an ancient dragon. It absorbed the power of the water veins and was transformed into ore after thousands of years of sedimentation."

The emperor glanced at A Li and Shao Yun behind Zhang Jiuyang and smiled meaningfully.

"The Luotian Grand Ceremony is not only a test for the headmaster, but also for the outstanding disciples in the sect. These two are the top disciples of Master Zhang, with talents of dragons and phoenixes, but they just lack the right weapons. Isn't it a pity?"

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the emperor also had spies in Longhu Mountain.

Shao Yun learned the technique of using the three-pointed, two-edged spear from the visualization diagram, while A Li learned the technique of using the fire-pointed spear, but both of them were unable to use their skills because they did not have a suitable weapon.

He went to Beijing this time hoping to find suitable weapons for them.

"Master Zhang is the heir of the Jade Tripod Palace, and there is no shortage of skilled weapon-refining experts in the Jade Tripod Palace. I will not interfere in your business. Master Zhang, please accept these two items."

Ali and Shao Yun looked at each other, and their hearts were moved at the sight of the Yanyang Kun steel.

Her Fire-pointed Spear technique requires a spear that is extremely strong and masculine.

"When I was still the crown prince, Shao Ming helped me. Now his son has become your disciple. This dragon stone is just right for him."

The emperor looked at Shao Yun, nodded, and said with a smile: "After the Luotian Grand Ceremony, I will vindicate your father and will not let your Shao family suffer any more injustice."
