The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 566: Provocation
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The lion's roar sounded like thunder, and the layers of sound waves were like a strong wind passing through. Even though there was a dragon vein protecting it, it was still affected, and the bricks and tiles on the wall trembled.

Even the imperial study in the heart of the palace was alarmed. The vases in the room were shaking slightly and wisps of dust fell from the beams.

On the chessboard where the emperor and the master of Taiping Temple were playing chess, the chess pieces were also jumping gently.

"Leimen Lion's Roar, it seems that he has really learned a lot of good things in Baiyun Temple. He has mastered the strengths of both Buddhism and Taoism. His future is limitless."

The abbot of Taiping Temple listened quietly to the thunder sound, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

The leader of Taoism is Yuding Palace, and the leader of Buddhism is Baiyun Temple. From ancient times to the present, it seems that no one has been able to combine the unique skills of these two sects in one person.

Zhang Jiuyang is an exception.

"His lion roar was not for Ji Zhen, but for me."

The emperor's eyes flashed, he pushed open the window, and just in time saw the huge dragon-headed guillotine flying up, as if it was going to behead the black dragon that Ji Zhen had transformed into as a warning to the public.

The great righteousness rises into the sky.

"Since Ji Zhen suffered a setback at the Yue family, he has been holding a grudge and holding back his anger. Although his cultivation has improved, it pales in comparison to Zhang Jiuyang."

The emperor was not angry when his favorite minister, whom he relied on, had his arm cut off. Instead, he looked at Zhang Jiuyang with satisfaction.

The head of Taiping Temple shook his head and laughed, "This kid is not someone you can easily mess with. You took advantage of him this time, and he is just trying to get back at you."

"It doesn't matter."

The emperor looked deep in his eyes and said calmly, "After the Luotian Grand Ceremony, everything will be over."

"Have you really thought it through? Once you take this step, there's no turning back."

The emperor's eyes showed reminiscence, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"I can't turn back anymore."

……

Outside the palace.

Zhang Jiuyang took A Li and his apprentice away.

"Yun'er, do you have any questions?"

Seeing his disciple hesitate to speak, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried that you won't be Ji Zhen's opponent in the future?"

Even though Ji Zhen was easily defeated by him today, it was because Zhang Jiuyang consumed nearly 30% of his magic power in an instant, and used the power of his golden body to fully activate the Thunder Gate Lion Roar, which destroyed the opponent's fighting spirit and fighting spirit in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, Ji Zhen has the advantage of geographical location, and the Black Water Method has the blessing of the Shenzhou Dragon Vein. If it is a protracted war, Zhang Jiuyang will never win so easily.

It seems to be an understatement, but in fact, it is a one-time effort with every possible effort.

It is possible that a disciple who is only at the third level would feel afraid of such an enemy, but in that case, although Zhang Jiuyang understands it, he will be disappointed.

After all, he is the descendant of Erlang Zhenjun. Even if his cultivation is temporarily inferior to others, he must not lose his courage and spirit.

Shao Yun seemed to be energized and immediately said excitedly: "Master, I am not afraid. I thank you for leaving Ji Zhen's life to me!!"

"I will practice harder in the future and live up to Master's trust!"

The master's words have been spoken, and as a disciple, he must not let the master's words fall on the ground. He must not only take Ji Zhen's head, but also take it as soon as possible to prevent his master from being laughed at.

"In that case, what are you worried about?"

"Master, I just can't figure it out. When you were in the Imperial Garden, the Emperor asked you to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony and win the top spot, but just now the Division Master asked Ji Zhen to tell you not to participate. Aren't they in the same group? Is there some conspiracy?"

Shao Yun was intelligent and realized the contradiction here. He wondered if there was also a discord between the Emperor and the Lord Si?

If this is the case, can Master take advantage of this contradiction?

Zhang Jiuyang smiled upon hearing this and said, "On the contrary, the Master is loyal to the Emperor."

Shao Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

"Whether it's Sizhu or Ji Zhen, they are not simple people. Why did he come out and threaten me when he knew he couldn't win?"

"Does he deserve a beating?" Shao Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "I understand. Ji Zhen threatened you just to provoke you and make sure you will attend the Luotian Grand Ceremony!"

The master has a domineering personality. The more others threaten him not to do something, the more likely he is to do it.

What the Master did was not stupidity, but a subtle control of human hearts.

Zhang Jiuyang nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, never underestimate your enemy, even if you are stronger than him."

Shao Yun kept these words firmly in his mind.

"Then Master, knowing that the other party was trying to provoke you, why did you still want to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony?"

"of course."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said, "Yun'er, remember this: all schemes and tricks can never be compared to your own strength. Strength is the most important thing."

Shao Yun nodded vigorously and looked at his master's back with great admiration.

The scene where his master's roar shook the imperial city and defeated Ji Town with a snap of his fingers just now left him with an indelible impression.

Only the strong can ignore all conspiracies and tricks and overturn the chessboard at any time.

Ah Li yawned out of boredom and said nonchalantly, "Xiao Yunzi, why do you think so much? Aren't you tired? Anyway, we'll just kill whoever Ninth Brother tells us to kill!"

She was quite carefree. Even after walking through an imperial palace surrounded by ambushes on all sides, she was still carefree and even felt a little regretful.

She hasn't even sat on the dragon throne yet, why is she leaving?
……

Not yet.

When the time came, Yue Ling immediately mounted her horse without taking off her golden armor. Lao Gao and Li Yan wanted to stop her, but they were stopped in their tracks by her sharp eyes like a knife.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen, the fetus moved again, and her body trembled slightly.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands embraced her and brought her wisps of extremely pure yang power, making her body feel warm as if bathing in hot water.

Yue Ling was startled at first. She didn't expect that someone could seize the momentary flaw of her fetal energy fluctuation and escape behind her silently. But when she felt the familiar magic power, she completely relaxed.

Her waist, which was as straight as a spear, softened and she leaned unreservedly into Zhang Jiuyang's arms.

"Just come back."

At this moment, her heart finally settled down.

"You are pregnant now, how can you wear such heavy armor? And you should ride less often in the future..."

Zhang Jiuyang sat on the Snow Dragon Horse, hugged his wife, and kept muttering to himself. There was no trace of the domineering look that he had just shown when he intimidated the imperial guards at Chengqian Gate.

"Pregnant?"

When Lao Gao and Li Yan heard these words, their pupils shone, and then they showed joy and excitement.

My mother-in-law is pregnant?
Yue Ling glared at Zhang Jiuyang, as if blaming him for making this matter public.

"It can't be hidden any longer. The Director has known about it for a long time, as has Zhuge Jianzheng. Plus, you're getting more and more pregnant, so it's better to speak out openly."

"Master Si also knows?"

Yue Ling was a little surprised and a little frustrated at the same time. She thought she had kept it a secret well.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled and said, "This mysterious Sizhu really has some skills. We should not underestimate him."

"Did you gain anything from going to the palace this time?"

"Achieve a lot."

Yue Ling thought about it, stretched out her hand to gesture, and said nonchalantly: "How big is it? Is it twice as big as mine?"

The smile on Zhang Jiuyang's face suddenly froze.

What was going on? It was a sunny day with clear blue sky, but he felt an inexplicable chill?
