The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 647 The Secret Under the Visor
boom!
The two Overlord Spears stabbed at each other's vital points at the same time, with a force like thunder and a strong aura. The air waves they created made the cloaks of the two men flutter in the wind, bright as fire.

Click!

The sound of armor breaking was heard.

The armor on Yue Ling's chest was pierced by the tip of the spear, leaving cracks, and the visor of the golden-armored general was also pierced by the tip of her spear, leaving cracks everywhere.

Snapped!
The visor was broken, revealing a weather-beaten face. His facial features were straight and strong, his contours were as if sharp, his temples were gray, and his eyes were very similar to Yue Ling's.

Equally bright, sharp and firm, but with a kind of weathered calmness and steadiness that Yue Ling had. The tip of the gun was clearly right in front of his eyes, just a hair's breadth away, but he didn't even waver, not even a blink.

Mount Tai collapses in front of him but he does not change his expression; a deer walks on his left but he does not blink.

This is the true demeanor of a great commander, who can command thousands of troops as if he were strolling in the garden. Any soldier who sees such a commander will subconsciously feel at ease.

Yue Ling withdrew his hand, and the tip of the spear only pierced his visor. Similarly, the other party also withdrew his hand, and the tip of the spear only pierced the armor at her heart, without even piercing the breastplate inside.

The Golden Spear is a killer move to win in dangerous situations, but both of them stopped their attacks at the critical moment, showing their extraordinary attainments in martial arts.

“Yue…Ancestor!”

Yue Ling put away his gun and immediately took off the Ming Wang mask, revealing a heroic and handsome face, but there was a hint of shock in his originally sharp eyes.

The golden-armored god under the mask was indeed the ancestor whom she had worshipped countless times in the ancestral temple when she was a child.

This was something she had expected. What really shocked her was that Yue Junshen's head was actually carved out of wood.

Yes, the skull is a wood carving. Although the sculptor has great skills and the carving is lifelike, it is also painted with paint similar to skin, so it looks 70% similar to a real person.

But when one’s cultivation reached the sixth realm, his eyesight was as sharp as seeing through fire, so how could he not notice the abnormality in the ancestor’s head?
Suddenly, she recalled something Zhuge Yu had said to her.

When in Jizhou, Zhuge Yu invited her to join Tianzun's army, and in order to convince her, he told her a secret.

That is to say, the death of the military god Yue was not caused by successive wars and the accumulation of heavy losses, but by decapitation.

He was beheaded in his own military tent, guarded by countless elite soldiers and generals.

At that time, she was skeptical about this matter, until now when she saw that the ancestor in front of her was headed by a wood carving, she finally believed it completely.

The bodies of those who died in battle were often incomplete, sometimes with an arm missing, sometimes with a leg missing, and some even with only a leg left.

If the body cannot be found, a wooden sculpture is often used as a substitute, so that at least the body can be guaranteed to be complete when buried.

This is a military custom and also the custom of the Jizhou Army.

"Ancestor, how could you..."

Yue Ling took a step forward and asked, but was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"There is no need to be surprised if a man dies on the battlefield wrapped in his horse's hide."

Yue Junshen finally spoke. Because it was a wooden sculpture's mouthpiece, his voice sounded extremely rough and hoarse like a file, but it still couldn't cover up his heroic spirit.

After saying that, Yue Junshen looked at her, a hint of kindness appeared in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.

"Which generation of the Yue family are you from?"

Yue Ling saluted and said excitedly: "My ancestors, my name is Yue Ling, and my courtesy name is Longhu. I am the ninth generation eldest daughter of the Yue family. I was once the champion general of Jizhou, and I am currently the deputy director of the Daqian Imperial Observatory!"

"The Imperial Observatory..."

When Yue Junshen heard this name, his eyes showed a trace of obvious fluctuations. After a long while, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect that you would work in my second brother's Imperial Observatory. Well, whether it is fighting in the military formation or slaying demons and monsters, as long as it is useful to the people of Daqian, your skills will not be wasted."

Yue Ling was obviously very pleased to receive the recognition and praise from his ancestors. His eyebrows were curved and his smile was as beautiful as a flower. He was completely different from his previous fierce and murderous appearance.

"Ancestor, I——"

Yue Ling wanted to ask something else, such as why his ancestor died suddenly and who chopped off his head.

But Yue Junshen shook his head and said, "I have forgotten many things, but I still remember one thing."

After a pause, he continued: "I don't regret it."

Yue Ling was startled, and then he felt relieved. Yes, for soldiers walking in the world, it is only a matter of time before they die in battle. As long as they die without regret, their death is worth it. It is enough to die with a clear conscience and serve the country.

But when she thought about the fact that Tianzun might be Zhuge Qixing, a layer of gloom covered her heart again.

If the ancestor knew that after his death, his second brother betrayed Daqian and became Huangquan Tianzun, and even massacred the Duke's Mansion hundreds of years later and killed many descendants of the Yue family...

"It is my blessing to have such an outstanding descendant like you."

Just as Yue Ling was thinking, Yue Junshen walked up to her, reached out and gently stroked her head, with a loving look in his eyes.

At this moment, he no longer looked like an invincible god of war, but just an elder who doted on his children and grandchildren.

Yue Ling was startled, her eyes flickered slightly, and ripples appeared in the depths of her pupils.

"You have surpassed me. At this age, I am far inferior to you."

"You will be able to do more than me in the future."

Yue Ling hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, stared at his ancestor, and asked a question.

"Ancestor, what if what I am about to do is not so right in the eyes of the world?"

Yue Junshen smiled faintly and said, "Is it correct in your eyes?"

"correct."

Yue Ling said with absolute certainty.

"Isn't that enough?"

Yue Junshen did not answer directly, but asked a question in return, which shocked Yue Ling and his eyes became more determined in an instant.

She nodded seriously and saluted, "Thank you for your guidance, Longhu, I understand!"

Yue Junshen nodded, and then his figure gradually disappeared, hidden in the clouds on the mountain. Only a golden figure could be vaguely seen, standing like a sculpture at the pass on the top of the mountain.

"It is not easy to fight a tie with my third brother. Talents are hard to come by. Yue Ling, come to the mountain to see me."

On the top of the mountain, the majestic voice of Emperor Taizu rang out.

But this time, Yue Ling smiled slightly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is no need for mercy. I did not win, it was just a tie. I voluntarily give up to rectify the laws of Daqian!"

After saying that, she turned around and left with the gun in her hand. Her soul escaped directly without any hesitation, extremely quick and neat.

Her original goal was not to meet Emperor Taizu, but to fight against former famous generals. Now not only has she achieved her goal, but she has also met her ancestors and had a hearty battle with the god of war she admires most.

The interest is gone, so let’s go home.

As Yue Ling escaped, the people in the palace looked at her with a hint of awe.

The comments on the imperial edict are even more eye-catching.

"A heroic woman, a daughter of a general, a pillar of the country, worthy of being honored as a general!"

The emperor looked at Yue Ling with a smile and praised him.

"Your Excellency Yue has performed exceptionally well. Thank you for your hard work."

After a pause, he looked at the others and asked, "Who is willing to challenge next?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jiuyang laughed.

"Let me give it a try."

Yue Ling had little interest in meeting Emperor Taizu, but he was very interested.

It's time to reveal the secrets of the Three Heroes of Qianyuan.
