The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 61: General takes off his armor, beauty under the moon

The next day.

Four fast horses left Qingzhou City and headed towards Yunsong Mountain, leaving a trail of dust in the distance.

Yunsong Mountain is more than 200 miles away from Qingzhou City. It is relatively remote and requires walking on a rugged mountain road. In some places, one can only dismount and walk slowly, which delays time.

After running for two days, they finally arrived at the foot of Yunsong Mountain.

This is a continuous mountain range, Yunsong Mountain is just one of them. The disappeared Chenjia Village is hidden deep in Yunsong Mountain.

It was almost dusk, and the four of them were exhausted. Yue Ling was in amazing shape, and Zhang Jiuyang had just mastered the secret technique of subduing the white tiger, so his physical strength had also increased. The two of them were still in high spirits, but Lao Gao and Luo Ping could hardly hide their fatigue.

"Rest in the inn in town for one night and then go into the mountains tomorrow morning."

After a pause, she reminded them, "This is not your first mission. This case is classified as a Sha-level case and is extremely dangerous. Don't forget to make the necessary preparations."

Luo Ping and Lao Gao looked at each other and nodded.

"Brother Jiu, are we there yet?"

Ah Li floated out of the Yin puppet, holding two small pink kitchen knives in her hands, and said fiercely: "Revenge, I want to wash my front teeth!"

She was determined to cause havoc in the underworld, but she died before she could accomplish her goal, and her head was kicked around like a ball.

It's so embarrassing!

After receiving the double swords from Yue Ling, she felt that she was able to do it again.

Today, these two knives are mixed with refined gold and black iron, and the handles are made of extremely precious locust tree wood heart. They are extremely spiritual and most suitable for use by ghosts.

Ali feels that these two knives are tailor-made for her. She can't let go of them every day and even holds them tightly when she sleeps.

"Just get some more sleep tonight and it will be there."

Zhang Jiuyang touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't forget what I told you."

Ah Li touched her belly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Jiu, Ah Li remembers everything!"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded, carrying his box, and went to the town at the foot of the mountain with Yue Ling and the others. He found that the sun had not yet set and there were almost no people here.

The doors and windows of every household were closed, and the whole town was as quiet as a cemetery.

There was only one inn in the town, and there was not much business inside. The waiter stood at the door bored, sighing.

When he saw Zhang Jiuyang and his group, his eyes lit up and he hurried to greet them.

"Why is there so few people in your town?"

Yue Ling asked.

The waiter looked at the female general in silver armor and red robe with awe. He glanced at the Dragon Sparrow Sword, swallowed his saliva, and said honestly, "To be honest, General, although this place used to be a small town, there were often merchants coming here to buy medicinal materials, so it was quite lively."

After a pause, he looked around and lowered his voice and said, "But since what happened in Chenjia Village, everything has changed."

"That village is so weird!"

He shuddered and said, "It is said that the entire village was buried alive. The resentment was so strong that many people who went into the mountains to collect herbs were unable to come out. Recently, I heard that people from other villages also suffered..."

"Four guests, if you are just passing by, please don't enter the mountain!"

"Once you go in, you can't get out..."

Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling looked at each other.

It seems that the evil spirit in Chenjia Village has become even more serious!
"Four upper rooms, prepare hot water, wine and food."

Yue Ling casually threw out a large silver ingot and said, "Please help us prepare four more coffins, as well as yellow paper, incense and candles, and the remaining money will be given to you as a reward."

The waiter was quite excited at first, but when he heard these strange requests, he was completely stunned.

"Four...coffins?"

Yue Ling nodded and said calmly: "Yes, one for each of us four, isn't that just right?"

After a pause, she seemed to remember something and said to Zhang Jiuyang, "I forgot to ask you, do you have any requirements for the color of the coffin?"

"Gold is not allowed, anything else is fine."

Lao Gao and Xiao Luo were not surprised at all. Lao Gao smiled and said jokingly, "Once we enter the mountain tomorrow, we won't have the chance to choose."

"Look at the bright side. At least we can choose our own cenotaph. Many people don't have that chance."

It was too dangerous to handle cases at the Imperial Observatory, and often the inmates died in the wilderness. Therefore, before handling a case, each inmate would choose a coffin and place their clothes in it as their own cenotaph. If the inmates never returned, their colleagues would come and take the coffin back to place it, which could be regarded as a memory for their relatives and friends.

Zhang Jiuyang opened his mouth and after a while, he managed to utter a word.

"Is it too late to quit now?"

Yue Ling: “…”

Lao Gao: “…”

Luo Ping: “…”

Ah Li: “o((⊙﹏⊙))o”

……

Night falls.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhang Jiuyang took a hot bath, changed into a brand new white brocade shirt, tied a green belt around his waist, and had black hair like a waterfall, tied up with a jade hairpin. Although he did not have any other decorations, he looked exceptionally chic and handsome.

From a Taoist priest who wielded a sword to fight demons, he turned into a handsome and elegant young man.

I have to say, this face is so handsome that any clothes can be carried off.

Of course, the clothes Yue Ling bought for him were also very good. The eldest daughter of the Duke's family was not short of money. The fabric and the feel of this fabric were much more comfortable than the coarse Taoist robe.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and through the dim moonlight, I saw what seemed to be a slender figure outside.

"Who?"

Zhang Jiuyang subconsciously picked up the Ghost-Slaying Sword and walked to the box.

"it's me."

Yue Ling's clear and cold voice rang out.

Zhang Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and was about to speak when he suddenly froze.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful lady in black clothes and with long black hair standing quietly at the door. She had bright eyes, white teeth, a straight nose and thin lips. Her figure was slender and graceful, as straight as a pine tree.

She was wearing a tight robe that outlined her beautiful figure, and her snow-white skin looked even more crystal clear like jade against the ink-black clothes.

As if she had just taken a bath, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall was still slightly wet, and the night breeze brought with it whiffs of fragrance.

No, who are you, beautiful lady?

Zhang Jiuyang could hardly believe his eyes. Yue Ling in front of him still had an imposing look between her brows, but after taking off her armor, she had a bit of indescribable femininity.

Although it’s not much, it’s like the finishing touch, giving her a unique charm that makes people unable to take their eyes off her.

She is truly a beautiful lady with a graceful figure and a master-like bearing in her every move.

When Yue Ling saw Zhang Jiuyang in a white brocade robe, a strange look appeared in her eyes.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

Zhang Jiuyang's demeanor and bearing are quite rare even in the most prosperous Kyoto. It must be said that he is really born with a good appearance.

"General Yue, it's so late, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Jiuyang secretly thought that it was a good thing that he had mastered the Golden Gate and Jade Lock Technique of Master Chongyang, otherwise he might have made a fool of himself.

Making a fool of oneself is a small matter, but it would be tragic if Yue Ling beat him to death because of it.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying."

After hesitating for a moment, Yue Ling still said it.

"What?"

Zhang Jiuyang was a little curious. Yue Ling was not the kind of shy woman. The fact that she was so hesitant showed that the sentence was very important.

Her red lips slightly parted, her starry eyes seemed to be filled with coldness, and her hands behind her back were subconsciously clenched.

"The Yellow Springs Road, the Gate of Hell, the Ten Heavenly Stems, the chaos in the world."
