The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 659: Side Effects of Magical Power
"Regarding Qianling Mausoleum, the emperor sent someone in yesterday and took out an imperial edict. I heard that it was the imperial edict from Taizu that you broke into today."

In the side room, the Moon Goddess was neatly dressed, dignified and solemn, with a noble and cold temperament, quite majestic, without any trace of her previous charm.

She told Zhang Jiuyang the news she had recently received, and her eyes were unusually bright as she looked at him.

As the descendant of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, from childhood to adulthood, as long as she wanted, any man would fall at her feet. Even those righteous and upright men, or the great scholars in the world who could remain calm in the face of temptation, could be conquered with just a little effort.

She always found it very interesting to see those righteous men finally kneeling at her feet, eager to kiss her shoes.

Only with Zhang Jiuyang did she feel frustrated for the first time.

It seemed that her natural charm was completely useless to her. Her appearance and body, which she was so proud of, could not even make the other party look at her for a few more times.

If Zhang Jiuyang didn't have two wives and two sons and daughters, would she even doubt that he was really a man?
"That's all? No more?"

Zhang Jiuyang asked with a frown.

"There is nothing more about Qianling Mausoleum, but there are some about the emperor. I wonder if Lord Yan Luo wants to hear it?"

She seemed to be smiling, and there were still red marks on her neck, which were the marks caused by Zhang Jiuyang's pinching. However, she didn't care at all and was not angry at all.

Zhang Jiuyang said calmly: "Tell me about it."

"This matter is of great importance and value. It is my greatest achievement in the palace over the years. If Lord Yan Luo wants to hear it, would you like to give me a little... small favor?"

She lifted her legs slightly and changed her sitting position. Her legs under the long palace dress outlined a slender and graceful curve. Her pair of snow-white bare feet without shoes or socks swayed gently in the air, and her crystal toes were as round and shiny as pearls.

"Didn't we agree that after we find the Imperial Seal, the Seal will be mine and the Sky Fox Blood inside it will be yours?"

The Moon Goddess smiled and said, "That was agreed upon before. Now I want to raise the price."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes turned cold.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. I think what happened before should be enough to express my sincerity in cooperating."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. No wonder the Moon Goddess, who was always good at dealing with people, worked so hard and invested so much money in stopping the great masters.

"Compared to that demon king who flatters you all the time but doesn't do his job at the critical moment, I am obviously more reliable."

The Moon God refers to the soul of the seventh elder hidden in the body of the dragon-slaying old man.

They should have attacked together that night, but Lao Qi was afraid of exposing his identity, so he was just paddling from beginning to end.

"I have proven my sincerity. Lord Yan Luo, can you also be more honest?"

The Moon Goddess gave him a deep look and said, "In exchange for information, I want to know what Lord Yan Luo and Emperor Taizu said today?"

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes moved, and he looked up to the fox demon again.

This woman does have a keen sense of smell.

"He said that Qianling Mausoleum is a prison used to imprison a certain monster, and asked me to be careful. He also said that the current emperor might have been bewitched by the monster and wanted to release it."

Zhang Jiuyang spoke selectively.

Qianling Mausoleum is a prison. When Yueshen enters it tomorrow, she will naturally understand this matter. I am just telling it in advance now.

At the same time, the news was shocking enough.

As expected, when Moon God heard the news, she was obviously shocked, and she suddenly realized something. She murmured, "So that's how it is. This explains everything."

At that moment, she no longer concealed anything and told everyone the clues she had.

"I have been in the palace for many years and I have discovered a strange thing, that is, this emperor... is a little strange."

"He doesn't look old, only in his early fifties, but he always gives me a sense of old age. That look in his eyes can't deceive people." "I suspect he is the late emperor."

After saying this, Yue Shen looked at Zhang Jiuyang, but found that there was no trace of surprise or astonishment on the other's face.

"You already know?"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded.

"Then you should already know that he is practicing magic?"

"I fought him last night. His magic skills were indeed very strange, no less than the ordinary sixth level. It was very difficult to kill him."

The Moon Goddess said solemnly, "I have been looking for where he learned his magic skills. After all, I know everyone in the palace, and no one knows this skill."

"Now I finally understand, he learned it from Qianling Middle School!"

"When did you discover that the emperor had magical skills?"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly asked.

"When concubines in the palace began to disappear inexplicably."

The Moon Goddess said in a deep voice: "The flower and bird envoys from various states send him beautiful women all year round. Logically, there should be more and more women in the harem, but when I was managing the six palaces, I found that the number of people was decreasing."

"The strangest thing is that the emperor is slowly losing his ability in that area, but his demand for beauty is growing stronger and stronger. He asks flower and bird envoys from all over the country to send more beauties."

Zhang Jiuyang raised his eyebrows. Is the emperor slowly losing that ability?

This news surprised him, but of course, he did not question the accuracy of the news. After all, Yue Shen, the most favored concubine, should have the most say in this regard.

As if she had sensed Zhang Jiuyang's thoughts, the Moon Goddess said coquettishly, "What are you thinking about? I have never let that fat guy take advantage of me."

She explained: "The maid outside the door also has the same Sky Fox bloodline as me, but it is extremely weak. She and I practice the same skills and are proficient in the art of transformation and disguise. Every time the emperor comes, she will pretend to be me and go in his place."

Zhang Jiuyang was startled, and then he remembered the pretty fox girl outside the door. This girl was indeed somewhat similar to the Moon Goddess in appearance and temperament.

"She told me that the emperor was very strong and energetic at first, but later he gradually became weaker and even became twisted and perverted. He even convened a no-obstruction meeting and wanted me to participate..."

The Moon Goddess sneered and said, "I'm afraid this magic skill is not so easy to practice. His mind has obviously been affected, and his behavior is becoming increasingly extreme."

A hint of understanding flashed across Zhang Jiuyang's eyes. No wonder even such a ridiculous thing as the Wuzhe Conference could happen. It seemed that the emperor had been deeply influenced by the evil power.

The monster imprisoned in Qianling Mausoleum must have wanted to lure the emperor to gradually fall when he was passing on his skills, and then release him personally in the end.

"When he was sleeping with the fox girl pretending to be me, he always covered his belly button with his hands. I suspect that is the Achilles' heel of his magic power. Wait until tomorrow..."

As the Moon Goddess was speaking, a bird's cry suddenly sounded outside.

Her expression suddenly changed.

The maid's voice sounded outside the door.

"Oh no, Master. His Majesty has suddenly arrived and is already at the front door. Should we switch now?"

"It's too late. You should retreat first to avoid exposing your flaws."

The Moon Goddess immediately stood up, blew out the candle with a flick of her sleeves, and then began to take off her clothes in front of Zhang Jiuyang.
