The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 653: Monster in Qianling Mausoleum
"eye for eye……"

Emperor Taizu repeated these four words over and over again, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

"One general's success will make a thousand bones wither."

"I have conquered the world, and I have killed enough people. For the sake of unification, it is worth it even if there is a river of blood. You are right. I have done it. What matters is success or failure. How can we talk about right or wrong?"

"I have a clear conscience."

Zhang Jiuyang stared at the Emperor Taizu in front of him. At this moment, he showed the spirit of a founding monarch.

Hundreds of years of being confined in a circle have worn away a lot of heroic spirit, but even so, it cannot change the heroic nature in his bones.

"It's a pity that Your Majesty failed, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen."

Zhang Jiuyang's words were merciless, but also to the point.

Emperor Taizu chose to pretend to surrender. Logically, he should have been valued and secretly supported by the "chicken farmer" and lived as long as possible.

But in fact, Emperor Taizu was the first of the three heroes of Qianyuan to die.

Even Yue Junshen, who advocated fighting to the death, died later than him.

In this case, either the false surrender was discovered, or some other unexpected event occurred.

"I did fail, but it was not without results."

Emperor Taizu suddenly laughed and said, "The achievement is now hidden in Qianling Mausoleum. We three brothers have finally given an account to the people of the world."

Zhang Jiuyang became even more curious and asked, "What is imprisoned in Qianling Mausoleum?"

After a pause, he was startled and asked, "Could it be that 'chicken farmer'?"

Emperor Taizu did not answer the question directly, but smiled and said: "After this Luotian Grand Ceremony, the position of Daqian Imperial Master will be none other than you. You will know what is locked up in Qianling Mausoleum when you go and see it for yourself."

"As for what 'chicken farmer' means, I cannot tell you yet. If you want to know, go to Qianling Mausoleum. There you will find all the answers."

Zhang Jiuyang did not continue to ask, because he knew very well that for a person like Emperor Taizu, no one could force him to tell what he did not want to say.

The other party insisted on asking him to go to Qianling Mausoleum, as if he had some purpose.

"You seem to think highly of me and have told me so much. Is it because I have the blood of the Daqian royal family?"

Emperor Taizu answered this question frankly.

"Yes, but not completely."

"If I'm not mistaken, the country is in turmoil now. You and Yue Ling are preparing to start a rebellion."

Zhang Jiuyang was shocked but remained calm on the surface.

As expected of Emperor Taizu, he has a keen eye. Even though he is trapped in this small place, he can still judge the general trend of the world, and his intuition is terrifyingly sharp.

"You don't need to answer. The answer I have in mind does not need anyone else to answer."

Emperor Taizu's voice was extremely confident. He smiled faintly and said, "Since ancient times, more than 6,200 years have passed, and thirteen dynasties have gone through. The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity. There is no dynasty in this world that will never fade away."

"I witnessed with my own eyes the previous dynasty's decadence, cruelty and brutality, which caused the people to suffer and live in misery. That's when I set my ambition to create a prosperous era for all people."

"But I also know that one day, the Daqian that I founded with my own hands will become the grand scene of the times. If such a day really comes, then the dead Daqian will be the best Daqian."

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the founding emperor in front of him, who was tired but still heroic, and suddenly felt a sense of respect.

Not everyone is willing to give up the foundation they have worked so hard to build, especially the emperor.

It is no wonder that such an open-minded mind can impress both Zhuge Guoshi and Yue Junshen. "I no longer care about the change of dynasties, but there is one thing that I cannot help but care about."

“That’s Qianling Mausoleum.”

"If Qianling Mausoleum is destroyed, all the efforts of the three of us brothers will be in vain, and the glimmer of hope that we have worked so hard to gain will be completely destroyed."

"And now... Qianling has reached a critical moment of life and death."

Emperor Taizu looked solemn and looked deeply at Zhang Jiuyang.

"The current emperor has been possessed by a demon. If this continues, Qianling Mausoleum will be destroyed in his hands. By then, there will really be no hope."

"Generation after generation, millions of people have sacrificed their lives to gain this tiny bit of starlight. I will never allow it to be destroyed in the hands of a selfish, greedy, tyrannical and ignorant tyrant!"

"It doesn't matter whether you become the emperor or someone else in the future. The only thing you need to do is to protect Qianling Mausoleum."

Zhang Jiuyang could feel the passion and sincerity in the other person's words. He wanted to ask something else, but the peach blossoms around him began to wither rapidly.

The brilliant colors that were as bright as fire turned decayed in an instant.

"The time is up. If we continue, I'm afraid the one in Qianling Mausoleum will notice something. Zhang Jiuyang, I see a familiar figure in you. Perhaps, you will be the one predicted by my second brother..."

"Protect Qianling Mausoleum, and protect yourself."

"When you come out of Qianling Mausoleum, if you get the imperial seal, I will give you a great gift, a...last gift, which can be regarded as a small compensation for Yuding Palace."

Emperor Taizu's voice became smaller and smaller, and his figure gradually disappeared. Then the peach blossoms around him withered faster, and Peach Mountain rumbled.

Zhang Jiuyang was startled. He felt that there seemed to be a monster imprisoned in Taoshan. The violent aura like a volcanic eruption made him frightened.

Taoshan is Qianling Mausoleum, and Qianling Mausoleum is Taoshan.

Emperor Taizu just said that if they continue, the one in Qianling Mausoleum might notice something. Could it be that even if this is an illusion, the monster imprisoned in Taoshan can sense it and even invade here with its domineering spiritual will?
He opened his third eye between his eyebrows, trying to see what was imprisoned in Peach Mountain, but the next moment the whole world collapsed.

"not good."

The voice of Emperor Taizu sounded in his ears, with a hint of urgency.

"I was discovered, and in such a hurry, I didn't have time to send you out..."

A huge hand stretched out from the crack in the void, covered with red hair. The bright color seemed to have some kind of strange magic, making people feel itchy all over at a glance, as if something was trying to come out from under their skin.

The hand seemed to be able to pluck the stars and the moon, and it reached out to Zhang Jiuyang as if it could cover the sky and the sun. It possessed an incredible power. Even a real person in the sixth realm seemed as small as an ant in front of it.

But Zhang Jiuyang knew that all this was just a clash of spiritual wills. The opponent crushed Emperor Taizu in an instant and forcibly invaded this spiritual world.

Clang!
The sound of the sword rang out like the roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix. The Pure Yang Sword flapped its wings and soared into the sky like the golden crow of the sun. Every wisp of sword energy was clear and bright, and could cut off thousands of troubles.

Tiandun sword intent!

puff!
The giant hand covered with red hair seemed to be stung, blood splattered on the palm, and the huge momentum paused, but it grabbed again after a moment.

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes were filled with shock. In the battle of spiritual will, the Tiandun Sword Intent was at a disadvantage for the first time.

But this time is enough.

The imperial bell rang, and the sound shook the world.

Ripples appeared in the void, and before the giant hand could grab him completely, Zhang Jiuyang's figure had disappeared.
