The God and Buddha are actually me

Zheng!

The Jiuli Sword guarding Ao Li quietly moved away, as if it was also very afraid of the black umbrella.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and dealt with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside. He continued to pour the lotus essence into Ao Li's body, and soon all of it was transferred in.

At this moment, the originally dark cave was completely illuminated by the fairy light. A lotus bud was standing tall at the bottom of the water. The spiritual energy of the entire Longtang River was converging towards it, as if a strange treasure had been born.

In order not to attract the covetousness of outsiders, Zhang Jiuyang directly waved his sleeves and performed the only formation inheritance among the 36 methods of Yuding, Yunzhaiyue.

This formation is a superior illusion formation. With a wave of his sleeves, it is like floating clouds covering the sun and fog covering the eyes, making people unable to see through, hear, touch, or enter.

It can also conceal the secrets of heaven and block the magic of calculation.

Whether it is above the nine heavens or under the four seas, it can be used at any time. It is very convenient. It is the only way to protect the cultivation and hide the body and absorb the qi.

It is said that this method was created by a woman. With a wave of her sleeves, she made 100,000 troops circle in place for three days on the battlefield, and then the sound shook the world.

Zhang Jiuyang has not reached that level yet, but at this moment, he can cover hundreds of feet in radius without revealing a trace of qi.

After doing all this, he quietly looked at the lotus bud in front of him.

Under the eyes of heaven, his sight seemed to penetrate the layers of petals and saw a small white dragon swimming slowly in the center of the pistil.

Dragon in the flower.

Countless spiritual energy and lotus essence symbolizing vitality are gradually merging into the body of the three-foot white dragon, reshaping its flesh and bones.

Zhang Jiuyang can feel that Ao Li's breath is growing rapidly.

This process is very fast. It won't take long for this lotus to bloom and Ao Li can be reborn.

At this moment, he finally let go and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even because of practicing the method of reversing the cause and effect, he seemed to feel that his fate had undergone a huge change.

It was as if he made an important choice at a critical fork.

He used his heavenly eyes to look for the butterfly that led him here, but found that the little butterfly had disappeared without a trace, as if it had quietly left after completing its mission.

Zhang Jiuyang knew that there must be an invisible hand behind all this. The other party had a very high level of cultivation and could even perceive the trajectory of his fate.

Grandpa, is it you?

He felt a little throbbing in his heart. Could it be that he was not alone in this world? His grandfather, who had depended on him since childhood, had always been silently guarding him behind his back?

Unfortunately, no one could tell him the answer.

But in any case, Zhang Jiuyang was very grateful to the other party. If Ao Li really died here, he really didn't know how sad he would be.

"No matter who you are...thank you."

Zhang Jiuyang said silently in his heart, then stood up and walked out of the cave.

Ao Li has basically stabilized, and he is ready to check the corpse of the dragon outside.

This cave should be the cave of the dragon. When Zhang Jiuyang first came in, he was shocked to see the corpse and thought he was late.

But later he found that it was a corpse of a dragon about fifty feet long, and it was unknown how many years it had been dead. The flesh and blood were severely rotten, and most of the skeleton was exposed.

Maybe the three big monsters were able to cultivate to the current level because they ate the corpse of the dragon.

In addition, there are many strange things hidden in this place, such as why there are so many drowned water ghosts, and why the branch of the Imperial Observatory in Jizhou has never checked here?

Zhang Jiuyang remembered that Yue Ling had told him that there were no big monsters in Jizhou except the mountain king.

This means that someone in the Imperial Observatory is sheltering the monsters here and deliberately condoning them!

Therefore, he also became curious and prepared to check the corpse of the dragon, maybe he could get some clues.

Not long after walking, he saw the dragon's skeleton again.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at it carefully. Even after many years, the dragon's skeleton was still as white and smooth as jade, but a small hole was chiseled in the head, and it was empty.

His eyes lit up. The wound on the bone looked like a blunt instrument, which should be the work of a human.

Someone took the dragon's brain after the dragon died!

In addition, the dragon ball also disappeared, which should have been taken away by someone.

Zhang Jiuyang opened his eyes and looked at the dragon's skeleton inside and out again, not missing any details.

Finally, he got something when he saw the dragon's abdomen.

Zhang Jiuyang keenly discovered that there was a human skeleton in its abdomen, with many broken bones, as if the dragon had twisted all the bones and swallowed them.

There were still some broken Taoist robes on the human's skeleton. The robes should be a magic weapon. It can be seen that it was extraordinary to be able to remain in the dragon's belly.

This is a Taoist priest, and he is a Taoist priest with good cultivation, because even if the bones are broken, they are still as smooth as jade, which is a manifestation of the cultivation of magic power.

Roughly speaking, he is at least in the fifth realm!

Zhang Jiuyang immediately became interested. Could this Taoist priest be the master who hung the sword under the bridge to kill the dragon?

Legend has it that the master successfully killed the dragon, and then wandered away, disappeared without a trace, and even left no name.

Could it be that he died together with the dragon?

Zhang Jiuyang quickly rejected this idea, because judging from the wound on the dragon's head, there should be a third person at the scene.

After the Taoist was swallowed by the dragon, his flesh, flesh and clothes were almost completely digested. Then the dragon suddenly died and his brain was removed for pearls.

He walked over and dug out the bones from the dragon's belly, only to see something falling straight down, a dark token.

The token is engraved with the words "Jingyesi".

Yasushi...

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. It sounded like the power of the imperial court, but he had never heard of this name.

Wait a minute, Zhuge Yunhu seems to have said that in addition to the Qintian Prison, there was also a mysterious organization around the emperors of the past dynasties, which also gathered many capable people and strangers who only listened to the emperor's orders.

Those people were like ghosts walking in the dark night, appearing and disappearing, appearing bright and dark with Qin Tian Jian.

It's just that Qin Tianjian's purpose is to protect the common people, while that mysterious force is to protect the royal family.

Could it be that the mysterious force that obeys the emperor's orders is called Jingyesi?

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly became energetic. He put Jingyesi's waistband in his arms and continued to search.

After a while, he found that the deceased's hand bones were clenched tightly, as if he was hiding something.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly. It seemed that some mysteries would be solved soon.

He stretched out his hand and broke open the man's hand bones one by one, finally revealing a pale golden paper ball. Zhang Jiuyang unfolded the paper ball and found that there was no wrinkle at all.

This kind of paper is very magical. It feels as tough as copper, but it can be kneaded and flattened like cloth. When unfolded, it will return to its original state and look brand new.

There are lines of text on the paper.

"In the first year of Yongshou, I came to collect borneol and dragon beads on your majesty's order, but I was scared all the way because I discovered your majesty's secret..."

Zhang Jiuyang raised his eyebrows, "Yongshou First Year", this was the reign name of the late emperor. In his later years, the late emperor changed the title to "Yongshou" in the hope of prolonging his life and enjoying his youth forever.

But the irony is that he died soon in the spring of the second year of Yongshou. Facts have proved that changing the year name is of no use at all.

The more emphasis is placed on it, the more something is missing.

After that, the new king, who had been the prince for forty years, finally came to power. The first thing he did was to change his reign name to Taiping, and then he started to enjoy himself and look for beauties, as if he wanted to vent all the frustrations he had suffered over the years.

The note said that it was the first year of Yongshou, which meant that the deceased was a person sent by the late emperor to collect dragon brains and dragon beads.

Doesn't that mean that the dragon here... has been known to the late emperor for a long time?

Thinking about the fact that there were so many drowned people here, but no one from the government paid any attention to them, Zhang Jiuyang had a vague guess in his mind.

Raise a dragon!

The old emperor's change of the reign name to Yongshou was not just a metaphor and hope, but a practical action.

He probably raised the dragon here, and the thousands of drowned water ghosts were all the food he raised for the dragon.

At the same time, the old emperor had been in power for decades and had extremely high prestige. He was much more powerful than the current emperor. Not to mention that Qin Tianjian did not dare to disobey the holy order. Even Zhuge Yunhu and Yue Shuai were promoted by the old emperor.

When they were at their most youthful and high-spirited, some people called them the Little Three Heroes.

Zhang Jiuyang thought in his mind that it seemed that the dragon's brain and dragon beads were taken away by the old emperor. But the strange thing is, why did the old emperor still die at the end of his life in the second year?

And what is the secret in this person's mouth?

He continued to read.

"The secret is really too big. I'm worried that His Majesty will kill me to silence me. So after slaying the dragon this time, I plan to escape with the dragon brain and dragon beads, and stay anonymous from now on."

"Unfortunately, what I don't know is that this dragon-slaying mission is simply a trap!"

"I pretended to be a Taoist priest who came here, saying that there was a dragon about to walk out of the water. I hung my magic sword under the bridge and set up a dragon-suppressing platform. After a fight, I finally gained the upper hand, but Jingyesi was hiding in the dark. The priest suddenly took action and severely injured me."

"That man named Ji is extremely vicious. Not only did he destroy my cultivation, he also fed me poison and then sent me into the mouth of a dragon."

"Fortunately, I did not die immediately. I used the power of my soul to carve the secret in my belly on the phoenix tree paper. In the future, a destined person will find it here. If you have the strength of the Sixth Realm and are interested in that secret, But go to the Tianmen Terrace at the Taixuan Mountain Jade Cauldron Ruins, and there’s that secret hidden under the thirty-seventh brick from left to right.”

"If you don't have the strength of the Sixth Realm, don't go looking for it."

Zhang Jiuyang frowned slightly. The other party did not directly tell the secret about the old emperor. It was obvious that the secret was too big. He was worried that if the next person did not have enough strength, it would easily cause disaster.

His intentions were good, but he didn't expect that the old emperor passed away the next year, and this so-called big secret about the old emperor lost its value.

However, he will have to go to Taixuan Mountain sooner or later. It is the place where he plans to establish a sect. It will not be troublesome to find it and take a look when the time comes.

As soon as the content of the paper was changed, the emotions in it became extremely full, full of emotion and unwillingness.

"I think that I, Shao Ming, came from a humble background and was as humble as a piece of grass. I climbed up step by step from a remote mountain village. I risked my life countless times to explore secret realms and complete various dangerous tasks. Only then did I achieve what I have today, ranking as one of the three great judges of Jingyesi. , how difficult it is!”

"But I don't want to die here and end up in the belly of a snake!"

"Now I am practicing three chapters and seven techniques. I hope that someone who is destined to practice it will devote himself to practice and see for me the future scenery and the scenery of the immortal road."

"Finally, I would like to ask someone to take care of my family. They live in Baimei City under Taixuan Mountain... Send some gold and silver, and tell my son that he will not practice cultivation in this life."

"Shao Ming, thank you!"

After reading all the content, Zhang Jiuyang has sorted out the whole story.

This monk named Shao Ming is a member of Jingye Division, but he accidentally discovered a big secret of the old emperor. He wanted to take the dragon brain and dragon ball with the help of the dragon slaying mission and take his family away.

But he never thought that the old emperor had already made up his mind to kill him. He sent a worshiper named Ji to secretly attack him. Not only did he seriously injure him, but he also fed him poison and then sent it into the mouth of the dragon.

This move was extremely vicious, killing two birds with one stone.

The dragon ate the human who was hiding the poison and soon fainted. The man named Ji pierced his skull and took away the dragon brain and dragon ball.

But what he didn't expect was that Shao Ming actually woke up in the dragon's belly and used his soul power to carve the details on the phoenix paper.

In Zhang Jiuyang's opinion, this man named Shao Ming is actually very smart.

From beginning to end, he did not mention the name of his enemy, nor did he hope that the person who found the paper would avenge him.

It is obvious that he knows in his heart that what he gave is not enough for others to take risks to seek revenge for him.

He just wants to make a good relationship so that he can take care of his relatives.

This is a smart way, otherwise it will only cause others to be disgusted.

Zhang Jiuyang took a look at the cultivation methods he passed down, which are not bad and have some merits. Among them, the one that surprised him the most was a method called "Da Zi Zai Zhou Tian Ji Yi Gong", which was actually one of the 36 methods of Yu Ding Palace.

It seems that this person has some connection with Yu Ding Palace. No wonder he hid the secret in the Yu Ding ruins.

Zhang Jiuyang put away the paper, and then waved his sleeves and buried his bones under the water.

There was a trace of emotion in his eyes. A young man who came out of a small mountain village and became a judge of the Jingye Division under the old emperor step by step was a very legendary life in itself.

Unfortunately, he was buried in this dark water in the end.

Zhang Jiuyang could feel his unwillingness, but the road to immortality was long, and there were too many people like him.

Maybe a legendary story was hidden in a small earthen mound.

At this moment, he heard a dragon roar.

A trace of joy flashed in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes.

Ao Li was about to wake up!

He quickly came to the lotus and saw the lotus blooming, rippling with thousands of spiritual lights, and in the middle of the stamens, there was a beautiful and unparalleled beauty sitting cross-legged.

Zhang Jiuyang held his breath instantly.

Because at this moment, Ao Li... was naked!
