The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 94: The water flows across the sky, and the spit becomes a river

The head...spoke?

Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath, looked at the blood oozing out from under the sack, tried to stay calm, and asked, "Do you know how to get rid of these ghost soldiers?"

Although he was very curious about the origin of the head, Zhang Jiuyang knew that this was a critical moment and he had to ask the most important question first.

The head in the sack was silent for a moment, and then the sound continued.

"When you took my head, I thought you were dead, so I didn't say anything. After all, what's there to say to a dead person?"

"But I didn't expect that you are quite capable. You actually fought off the attacks of the ghost soldiers twice in a row. This gives me a glimmer of hope. After all, there are some things...I still can't let go."

The head's voice paused slightly, and then seemed to have made up its mind and no longer hesitated.

"Masked boy, can you still use the power you just used to summon the fire giant?"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "We can still hold on for a while."

He deliberately kept it a secret and did not say frankly how long he could hold on.

After all, one should always be on guard against others, especially when the thing is a strange human head that can talk.

After hearing Zhang Jiuyang's words, the head seemed to be relieved and said, "If that's the case, then we can still give it a try. Boy, do as I say next. Maybe there is still a way to survive."

"First, use that magical power to break out of the encirclement. Follow my instructions and find your friend with the gun."

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned. He didn't expect that he even knew about Li Yan.

"You have many tricks, but your cultivation is too weak. The one who uses the gun is really powerful, but unfortunately he is trapped by the dark fog, and is getting further and further away from you. Although he has great skills, he will eventually be worn down to death by the endless stream of ghost soldiers."

"Dark Mist?"

The head explained: "This white mist is the underworld mist. It is said to be the bones of the underground gods. It can connect the Yin and Yang worlds and confuse the mysterious gate. The underworld's ghost soldiers can ride on the mist to quickly reinforce the Yang world."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. No wonder those ghost soldiers could never be killed. This white fog was indeed the key!
"The underworld fog can also reduce the perception of cultivators and reverse the space between the Yin and Yang worlds. The man with the gun has lost his way and is almost in the territory of the underworld."

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that General Li Yan had not shown up yet. Moreover, after he ran out of the execution ground, he found that the surrounding environment became a little unfamiliar, as if he was not in Luotian County.

These dark mists have the ability to confuse space. Wherever they spread, it seems like a maze. Even monks will lose their sense of direction here. If they take a wrong step, they may end up in some unfamiliar place.

When he thought of this, Zhang Jiuyang was secretly shocked.

The head was right, the eighth heavenly stem 'Xin' never thought of letting him survive!
What's the difference between this mission and committing suicide?
"Boy, what are you still hesitating about? Use your magical powers to break out of the encirclement. Walk three hundred steps to the east and step onto the Xun position!"

Seeing the ghost soldiers and the golden-armored general coming to kill them, the head began to urge.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at Ah Li.

Ah Li nodded and said, "Brother Jiu, I just did some divination. Although I can't figure out who he is, he has no ill intentions."

Zhang Jiuyang felt a little relieved, and now he could give it a try.

He has always been a cautious person. Just now, he seemed to be communicating with the head and trying to find out useful information, but in fact, he was asking Ali to predict the good and bad luck and calculate the head's background.

Otherwise, if you do whatever others tell you to do, you will be killed sooner or later.

The golden-armored general casually pulled out one of his own ribs, turned it into a new spear, and rushed towards Zhang Jiuyang.

But when he saw Zhang Jiuyang pinching the Lingguan Jue again, his scarlet eyes flashed, and he stopped without hesitation and quickly retreated.

However, under his command, the ghost soldiers continued to rush towards Zhang Jiuyang.

The sky fire spreads and the spiritual official reappears.

As the golden whip was waved, countless ghost soldiers turned into ashes and disappeared. Thunder and fire shot out from the Heavenly Eye, directly tearing a hole in the encirclement of the ghost soldiers.

Within ten feet, all evil spirits will be reduced to ashes!
Even Ali had to fly into the Yin doll to protect herself.

A moment later, Zhang Jiuyang rushed out from the ghost soldiers, quickly put away the Lingguan Jue to save his magic power, and then walked three hundred steps to the east according to the instructions of the head and stepped on the Xun position.

The next moment, a magical thing happened. Zhang Jiuyang's figure disappeared in an instant.

……

Somewhere strange.

The surroundings were shrouded in white mist, and the bodies of the ghost soldiers were lying on the ground. There were even three generals in golden armor, all of whom had been pierced in the throat by a bullet and were bleeding profusely.

Li Yan had a cold gaze and an upright posture. He held a huge iron spear in his hand, with blood constantly dripping from the tip of the spear.

Outside the execution ground, he realized something was wrong the moment the white fog rose, because the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had recorded that wherever the ghost soldiers went, white fog would suddenly appear, and if a living person encountered it, there was no chance of survival.

The Imperial Observatory has an unwritten rule.

When you encounter evil soldiers, you must not provoke them unless it is absolutely necessary. If a companion accidentally falls into the white fog, the other person should retreat quickly and there is no need to rescue them.

It's not cold-bloodedness, but a lesson learned by the predecessors of the Imperial Observatory at the cost of their lives.

If it were anyone else, they might have retreated decisively at that time. Even if the mission failed, the Imperial Observatory would not blame them because it involved the Yin soldiers.

But Li Yan did not retreat but advanced instead.

Without any hesitation, he took the initiative to break into the white fog of the Yin soldiers, which was said to be a place of no return, and wanted to take Zhang Jiuyang away.

However, after walking a few steps, his eyes blurred and he found himself in an unfamiliar place. The surrounding area was filled with yin energy, the grass and trees were withered, and there was no vitality. It was completely unlike the scenery in the world of the living.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of evil soldiers appeared out of the white fog and attacked.

He had already fought off three waves of ghost soldiers, and the ground was littered with mutilated corpses. The three golden-armored generals who led the troops were very skilled in martial arts and could actually block fifty of his moves.

The blood was churning and wisps of white smoke were coming out of the pores.

This was the heat generated in Li Yan's body during the battle just now. At this moment, he was like a stove that had just been extinguished, quickly returning to calm and hiding all the yang energy.

However, the fetal breathing technique, which had been very effective in dealing with evil spirits in the past, now seemed to have failed.

Not long after they walked, another wave of ghost soldiers arrived, and there were even more of them, as many as four or five hundred. In addition to the three golden-armored generals leading the troops, there was also a monster holding a soul-catching chain and wearing a black robe. He was even more burly and strong than the three golden-armored generals, and his aura was even more terrifying.

Li Yan still didn't say a word. He slightly side-glanced and stared at this group of powerful ghost soldiers with cold eyes. His gaze was as fierce as a wild beast that would choose its prey.

The next moment, he dragged his spear and walked towards the army of ghosts. The sharp iron tip of the spear rubbed against the ground, creating a brilliant spark.

Although there was only one man and one gun, he was like an army of thousands. His thin body made crackling sounds, and his momentum continued to rise, like a volcano that suddenly awakened and was about to erupt.

The back is lonely and the spear is like a dragon.

Although tens of thousands of people are coming.

……

It was another thrilling and bloody battle.

Li Yan spat out the blood in his mouth, stepped on the pile of corpses of the ghost soldiers, held the gun in one arm, and pointed at the evil body in the black robe. He stared at the other's face covered with red hair, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Is that all you have?"

He turned the spear so that the tip pierced deeply into the smelly, filthy heart.

"Tell me, where is Zhang Jiuyang?" Li Yan had many scars on his body at this moment. Although there were no fatal injuries, he was bleeding. However, he turned a blind eye to them and instead was thinking about his mission.

As a soldier, completing the mission is more important than your own life.

The evil spirit kept roaring, and its scarlet eyes were full of resentment, as if it wanted to eat Li Yan alive.

Li Yan broke its neck and even cut off its head and carried it with him.

If the heads of ghost soldiers of this level were taken back to the Imperial Observatory, perhaps a lot of secrets could be uncovered.

Of course, the premise is that he can get out alive.

Li Yan continued to walk forward, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

After a series of battles, where he was alone against a thousand enemies, even though he was a cultivator of the fourth realm, he was exhausted and his muscles were aching.

If this continues, he will most likely die in the waves of evil soldiers before finding Zhang Jiuyang.

In a trance, he thought of his wife and children who died at the hands of evil spirits, and of the child who would wait for him at the door every time he came back from a mission. A slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

The only regret was that he could not die on the battlefield of Jizhou that he often dreamed of.

I really want to be with the old Duke again, riding horses and holding guns, to kill those Liao bandits who invaded our borders and looted the people!
I just don’t know how many of those old brothers are still alive.

Just as he walked forward step by step, calmly welcoming the final ending, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"General Lee!"

"Hurry up and stay!"

Li Yan turned around abruptly, his eyes sharp.

The person who came was actually Zhang Jiuyang!
He did not show any surprise, but instead used his Dharma eyes to observe carefully. He was slightly relieved when he found that there was no evil aura.

It looks like the mission hasn't failed yet.

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned when he saw the corpses of the ghost soldiers on the ground, including many generals in golden armor.

He thought Li Yan was very powerful, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful.

There must be thousands of corpses on this ground.

What shocked him even more was that almost all of these corpses were killed in one blow, either by piercing the throat or the heart.

What a horrible shooting skill!

As expected, those who can become Lingtailang of the Imperial Observatory are not ordinary people.

The next moment, the old voice sounded again from the sack in Zhang Jiuyang's hand.

"A pure iron spear can scare the hell out of thousands of people. It can become a fierce tiger on the ground and a dragon in the sea."

"You should be the Lingtai Lang of the Imperial Observatory, Tiger Dragon Li Yan."

Li Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the sack stained with blood. The gun in his hand flashed and murderous intent suddenly arose.

There is an evil smell in the sack!
Zhang Jiuyang said quickly: "General Li, the head inside is the target of my trip, and he knows a lot about the Dark Mist and can show us the way out."

After a pause, he asked again: "General Li, how much mana do you have left now?"

Along the way, he used the Lingguan Jue several times. Now the magic power in his body is less than 30%, almost reaching the bottom. He can only hope that Li Yan still has some strength left.

"There's still 50 percent left."

Li Yan's words made Zhang Jiuyang look a little happy.

This guy is really powerful. After breaking a thousand with one, he still has half of his magic power left.

The voice in the sack also relaxed a little.

"Now continue to follow my instructions. You should be able to return to Luotian County in a moment. However, you may encounter ghost soldiers during this period. Try to break through and don't fight to the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, murderous aura came from all around.

Lines of ghost soldiers appeared and surrounded them tightly.

Zhang Jiuyang gave a bitter smile, then slowly drew out the Ghost-Slaying Sword, not caring about the wound on his palm.

The Lingguan Jue consumes too much mana, now I can only rely on swordsmanship to fight my way out.

Ah Li flew out of the Yin puppet, stood in front of him with her small body, and said crisply: "Don't be afraid, Brother Jiu, Ah Li will protect you!"

Unknowingly, she has grown into Zhang Jiuyang's right-hand man.

Even Li Yan looked at Ah Li in surprise.

This little female ghost is quite affectionate and righteous.

"Just follow closely and don't fall behind."

Li Yan's voice was not loud, but it had a kind of decisive confidence that gave people infinite confidence.

Then, he let go of the spear, placed it on the ground, then stepped on Kuigang, held Jingwen in his left hand, Wulong in his right hand, and chanted the Tianshui Hengliu Curse.

"Water from the sky, water from the ground, water from the five lakes and four seas, all flow together and flow thousands of miles away..."

Magic, and spit become a river!
The next moment, a torrent of river water gushed out of his mouth, like a rolling river in the sky, raising huge waves and rushing towards the army of Yin soldiers that was as strong as a solid wall.

In an instant, the army of ghost soldiers was scattered and men and horses were thrown to the ground.

The so-called "turning spit into a river" is a very magical Taoist supernatural power. After it is cultivated, the abdomen will be like a big lake that can hold the water of a river. It can spray out the water in a critical moment and can collapse mountains and raze them to the ground.

Zhang Jiuyang finally understood why General Li Yan was called Tiger Dragon.

The tiger-dragon is a strange beast in the sea, with a fish body and a snake tail. It likes to eat tigers and can stir up winds and waves and overturn rivers and seas. It is a member of the dragon family.

It seems that General Li’s greatest skill, besides his spearmanship, is also his water-traveling ability.

He carried a spear on his back, held Zhang Jiuyang in one hand and little A'li in the other, and with the help of the vast river, he performed the art of water escape.

In an instant, the two men and one ghost turned into a stream of water, quickly escaped the encirclement of the ghost soldiers, and went towards the distance according to the instructions of the head.

I don't know how long they ran, until the water dried up, the river disappeared, and the two men and the ghost reappeared.

They returned to Luotian County, not to the execution ground, but in front of a temple.

There was a white fog spreading in the distance, and it seemed that the ghost soldiers would not give up until they caught them.

"We're here, right here, hurry in!"

The voice from the sack urged.

Zhang Jiuyang looked up at the plaque of the temple, his pupils trembled, and he actually saw three familiar words.

Dragon King Temple!
