The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 614: Walking into the dark, passing three levels

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Jiuyang was wearing a Taoist robe with black and white cloud patterns, a purple gold gourd hanging from his waist, a sword hairpin in his black hair, a gold belt and jade boots, and a touch of red gold vertical line between his eyebrows. He seemed to have a magical aura that attracted everyone's attention.

The emperor was still standing, but he took the initiative to sit down.

He looks cheerful and calm.

I don’t know how many female cultivators’ eyes lit up with surprise. They had long heard that Zhang Tianshi from Mount Longhu was not only a master of Taoism, but also had the best appearance and temperament in the world.

Seeing him today, he is even more outstanding than what was rumored.

However, when they saw Zhang Jiuyang holding his children in his arms and teasing them, they put away their excitement and reminded themselves that he was already a married man.

And that 'woman' is not easy to mess with.

Yue Ling snorted coldly and put away her sharp eyes. She sat beside Zhang Jiuyang with a majestic posture, one hand on the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword. Her eyes opened and closed like a sharp blade, cutting off all the traces of femininity.

Ali puffed out her chest proudly, looking very proud of herself.

I am the junior master's uncle of Longhu Mountain and the aunt of Zhang Shouren and Zhang Shouyue. In Ninth Brother's heart, I must be ranked in the top three.

"Brother Jiu, when will you return the gold bricks to me?"

"Gold bricks? What gold bricks?"

Zhang Jiuyang stopped teasing the child and looked at Ah Li with some doubt, his eyes were very innocent and clear.

Ah Li: “…”

She suddenly took out a small pink kitchen knife and gestured with it on herself expressionlessly.

“…What are you doing?”

"Brother Jiu, have you heard the story of Nezha cutting off his bones to return to his father and cutting off his flesh to return to his mother?"

"Haha, Nezha has a physical body, but you don't."

Zhang Jiuyang was not moved at all.

Although Ali had the Nezha visualization diagram and her soul became more solid, it was still the body of a yin spirit and had no entity.

Perhaps as she comprehends the visualization diagram more, she will obtain the legendary lotus body, but it is far from enough now.

Her face was full of anger, and she said, "Okay, so you are not Brother Nine, you are that damn Li Jing!!"

As she said this, she wanted to jump over and bite Zhang Jiuyang, but at this moment, her expression suddenly became serious, her eyes fixed, and she stared at the bustling crowd.

"what happened?"

Zhang Jiuyang also realized something was wrong. Ah Li liked to act foolishly at ordinary times, but she never failed to deliver at critical moments. It seemed that she had discovered something.

"Brother Jiu, there's a sneak attack in there!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuyang's expression changed and he subconsciously hugged his children tightly in his arms.

Yousheng once warned him that these two children were extraordinary and were the kind of people that the underworld had been looking for all year round.

The appearance of the Yin people is to replace the Yin soldiers and to find such children when it is inconvenient for the Yin soldiers to appear in the world.

Yousheng told him to be careful of the sneaky people.

"Can you find out who it is?"

Zhang Jiuyang asked calmly, his voice very cold.

Every profession has its own expertise. When it comes to finding ghost walkers, Ali, the descendant of the ghost walker leader, is the most professional.

Moreover, each of these shady people has his own secret skills. Their strength is not that strong, but their methods are very diverse.

"I smell the scent of origami. There should be paper figures among the people present."

Ah Li glanced at Shao Yun and said, "Xiao Yunzi, use your third eye to see who is playing hide-and-seek with us?"

Shao Yun nodded, his eyes wide open, and he carefully looked at the monks who came to attend the event.

After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he successfully found the paper man and told Ali the location.

"As long as I catch this paper man, I can follow the clues and catch the person who sneaked out."

"You are so tired of living. How dare you set your sights on my nephews and nieces?" "Brother Jiu, just wait for my news."

Ali's small body disappeared quietly, like a shadow blending into the sunlight. Except for those Sixth Realm True Men, it was difficult for others to notice it.

Zhang Jiuyang was not worried about this.

Ali looks like a little girl, but she has been through hundreds of battles with him, and has various magic weapons and supernatural powers, so she can already stand on her own.

Ordinary people in the fifth realm may not be her match.

Among the Yin-walking people, the fourth realm is already the top. After all, the Yin-walking people are just the outer lines of the Yin soldiers of the underworld. The leader of the Yin-walking people back then, Erye, was only at the third realm.

Ali is now considered to be the strongest ghost walker in history, and she can almost attack other ghost walkers by reducing their dimensionality.

……

"It has been 632 years since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty. Whenever I recall the prosperity of the Qianyuan era and the heroic figures of the three heroes, I am always excited and worried."

On the high platform, the emperor's voice rang out, loud and magnetic, echoing in everyone's ears, as if it had a magical power to infect people's hearts.

As he spoke, many people recalled the former glory of Daqian.

The prosperous Qianyuan era, the three heroes were heroic.

The three people who ended the chaotic times are still being praised by people today. At that time, even a powerful country like Northern Liao and an ambitious country like the Western Regions were all honest and respectful.

"But now the mountains and rivers are declining, the rivers are flowing underground, and our Daqian has lost its former glory."

The emperor's voice suddenly deepened.

"In the 23rd year of Wuwei, the Northern Liao cavalry invaded our borders and massacred 12 villages. The three cities of Jiading, Baoling and Xuanwu were all massacred. The surging Ji River was like blood for three days."

"In the early years of Yongshou, Northern Liao invaded again, and the border army was defeated. 70,000 soldiers were buried alive in Xinye. The coalition forces of the 16 countries in the Western Regions invaded, plundered the trade routes, occupied four cities, and handed over the ancestral land to others."

"In the third, fifth, and seventh years of peace, foreign tribes frequently invaded our borders, invaded our land, and killed our people. This is a blood feud that must be avenged."

After hearing all these things, the monks fell silent.

Although most of them were ascetic monks, there were also some who were eager to do good and some who were still ardent and passionate, and they killed many Liao soldiers in those years.

It was a pity that the imperial court was incompetent and whenever they achieved some success with the officers and soldiers, the imperial court would immediately go to negotiate peace.

Sometimes, even though we won the war, we still had to pay compensation and cede territory.

"I know that you have a problem with me, and think that I only know how to enjoy myself and am a king who will ruin the country!"

The emperor looked at everyone, his voice suddenly became heroic, his eyes sparkled, as if he had great ambitions.

"But I have never forgotten those men who died in battle, nor have I forgotten your sacrifices."

"I have learned from my mistakes and am willing to use the power of my country to seek a great sage and heavenly master to govern the country and expand the territory with me, just like... Master Zhuge and Emperor Taizu did back then."

"Today, I am calling all the heroes together, and I want to select a person who can change the world, respect him as the national teacher, regard him as the national religion, and devote all the resources of the country to help him practice!"

"In addition, there is a precious immortal wine in the national treasury that can prolong life, restore youth, and allow people to live another life. I am willing to give it all to you!"

His voice is generous and heroic, full of passion and infectiousness, which makes people feel excited involuntarily.

A country’s resources, longevity wine!

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention the cultivators in the fourth and fifth realms, even the immortals in the sixth realm felt a wave of anxiety in their hearts, with obvious changes in their movements.

They suddenly discovered that the emperor who was rumored to be incompetent was not that simple.

"Your Majesty, how do we decide who is the Imperial Master? Should we just fight?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

The emperor smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "You are all great men of Daqian. If anyone gets hurt, it will be a loss for Daqian. We should not be so reckless."

"Don't worry, everyone. I have prepared three tests for you. Those who can pass the three tests will become the national teacher!"

"Today is the first stage, praying for rain."
