The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 218: Civil War in Huangquan, leading to a split?
Tell a... joke?
Lao Qi said that he could hardly laugh anymore, so how could he tell a joke?
But seeing the other party's extremely oppressive look, Lao Qi racked his brains and came up with a joke.

"Once upon a time, there was a man who loved to sleep during the day. Someone asked him why?"

"He said that we must seize the time to sleep during the day because we need to rest at night."

Zhang Jiuyang: “…”

It's so cold.

The New Year's snow was not as cold as this joke. Not only him, but the other heavenly stems also seemed speechless.

The giant turtle just stared at him silently, without saying a word, let alone laughing, as if it was very disdainful of this cheap joke, and even a little angry.

Seeing that Lao Qi was embarrassed, Zhang Jiuyang started to change the subject.

"Bantian, according to Huangquan's rules, you need to complete my assessment task first, and only after passing it can you join Huangquan."

Hearing this, many people looked at Yan Luo, curious about what kind of assessment tasks Yan Luo would arrange.

This giant turtle looks very difficult to deal with. If the arrangement is too difficult, it may cause hatred, just like what happened to the Painted Skin Master. If it is too simple, Huang Quan will seem too casual.

The middle point is hard to grasp.

"Ban Tian, ​​after seven days, go to Yangzhou Biming Mountain and smash the Demon-Subduing Cave on the back mountain of Wanfu Tower."

Zhang Jiuyang told him the assessment task he had arranged for him.

This was the decision he made after careful consideration during this period.

The Demon-Subduing Cave is the forbidden cave where the human bone cassock is placed and there is a talisman formation to suppress it. According to the report of his subordinate Huapi, Sun Tianchi has been staying in the Demon-Subduing Cave and has not come out during this period of time.

Zhang Jiuyang wanted to cause chaos in Wanfu Tower so that he could fish in troubled waters.

Hearing this mission, the two-faced Buddha's expression became particularly solemn. He immediately said, "Yan Luo, can you change the mission?"

Although Sun Tianchi offered up his master's brow bone, it would still take some time to completely refine the human bone cassock. During this period, Sun Tianchi would be his most important ally and must not be lost.

Zhang Jiuyang snorted coldly and said calmly, "I heard that Sun Tianchi threatened to put a bounty on my head, so what's wrong with me making him pay a price?"

After a pause, he stared at the two-faced Buddha with his red eyes, and his voice was slightly cold.

"Two-Faced Buddha, why are you so protective of the headmaster of a righteous sect?"

The two-faced Buddha frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I am not defending Sun Tianchi, but he cannot die now."

"What a joke! You said I can't die, so I can't die?"

"Besides, I didn't say I would kill him immediately. I just asked Bantian to smash the Demon Cave of Wanfu Tower. I heard that it is their forbidden area. Haha, Bantian, you are not afraid, are you?"

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the giant turtle and deliberately provoked it.

"Hahaha!"

Bantian suddenly laughed, his voice shaking the sky.

"You should make good use of your time to sleep during the day, because you still need to rest at night. Hahaha, interesting, really interesting!"

Zhang Jiuyang: “…”

Old Seven: “…”

Two-Faced Buddha: “…”

This feeling is like when two people are arguing fiercely and their faces are red, and suddenly someone jumps out and asks if you like tofu pudding.

Zhang Jiuyang was speechless. Could it be that as his body grew bigger, his reflexes also grew longer?
Your reaction is too slow!
The giant turtle laughed for a long time, feeling like he was about to get a stitch in the side, before he stopped and looked at Zhang Jiuyang.

"You evil guy, since it is a rule, I will do it. I will destroy the Demon Cave in Biming Mountain in seven days, right?"

"Okay, it's not too difficult, but it's not new at all, and it's just hitting the mountain again."

It muttered to itself, seemingly not interested in this boring task, but had to do it because of the rules.

Wait, crashing into the mountain again?
When Zhang Jiuyang heard these four words, especially the word "again", his eyes flashed with brilliance and his heart was filled with waves.

This shows that it had hit a mountain once before.

Hit the mountain, hit the mountain...

These two words seemed familiar to him, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

Yuding Palace!
Once the largest Taoist sect and the ancestral home of Taoism that had been passed down for thousands of years, it was reduced to ashes and ruins overnight after the founding of Daqian.

The files of the Imperial Observatory only said that it was a demon that crashed into the mountain.

According to Yue Ling, Zhuge Qixing had personally investigated this case, but it ended up in nothing. With Zhuge's wisdom, he must have found out something, but he chose to seal it up himself.

This shows how big the secrets are behind this case.

Could it be that……

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the giant turtle carrying the invisible celestial monument, and his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

Could it be that the terrifying demon that crashed into Taixuan Mountain and razed Yuding Palace to the ground was this giant turtle named Bantian?
If it was really it, why did it crash into the mountain? And why was it imprisoned in the tomb of Shenju Mountain?

Is that big tomb a cage prepared for it?

Or does the tomb hide deeper secrets?
Countless question marks emerged in Zhang Jiuyang's mind, and he suddenly realized that the more secrets he came into contact with, the more doubts he had in his heart.

Like looking at flowers in the fog or the moon in the water.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.

Zhang Jiuyang looked towards Tianzun. This chessboard was so huge that the more chess pieces he saw, the greater the fear in his heart.

What exactly does this person want to do and what role does he play?
Hearing that Bantian agreed to go and hit the mountain, the two-faced Buddha's expression became more solemn. He seemed a little anxious and said to Tianzun: "Tianzun, this mission will greatly affect my plan. If Yan Luo really insists on doing it, I am afraid that I can't just sit there and watch."

Tianzun sat there quietly, neither sad nor happy, calm and without saying a word.

Zhang Jiuyang snorted coldly and said, "Why, are you going to do it yourself? I remember that Tianzun has set a rule that other heavenly stems are not allowed to interfere during the assessment task. Two-Faced Buddha, have you forgotten how the Painted Skin Master became blind?"

The two-faced Buddha said in a deep voice: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. Yan Luo, I have no intention of being your enemy, but can you postpone your mission for another month? After a month, Sun Tianchi, you can kill me or chop me up, and I will never interfere."

Zhang Jiuyang laughed loudly, and the hostility in his eyes became more and more intense. He opened his third eye, and a raging fire ignited all over his body, threatening to set the whole prairie on fire.

With the help of Lingguan's Heavenly Eye, the power of Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire had a huge leap. Even though they were far away, the blazing heat wave made the Two-Faced Buddha's pupils freeze.

The fierce and domineering flame frightened him.

The spiritual fire controlled by Yan Luo seems to be even more powerful.

"Two-Faced Buddha, I have already given you face before and am willing to spare the life of Painted Skin Master. Don't push your luck and be shameless."

Under the skyfire, Zhang Jiuyang's voice seemed to become even more violent.

"I don't care what your plan is, but don't stand in my way."

"otherwise……"

Zhang Jiuyang stared at the two-faced Buddha, his red eyes boiling with murderous intent, and said word by word: "I will kill you."

He was not just threatening, but he really had the intention to kill.

At worst, I can use the opportunity to pray to the gods on the two-faced Buddha and kill him openly and honestly!
This is also Zhang Jiuyang's usual strategy. For Huangquan Tiangan, if he can win him over, he will win him over. If he can't win him over, he will divide him first. If there is a chance, he will kill him. Facing the threat of Yan Luo, even the unfathomable two-faced Buddha cannot completely ignore it. He paused slightly while turning the brow bone Buddhist beads, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

But he did not give in, and just stared at Zhang Jiuyang silently.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shanjun coughed, trying to mediate, and said: "We are all family, why bother to hurt the harmony? We can discuss anything. I think Yanluo, you can change your mission first, and then-"

As a result, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lao Qi.

"Bah, who the hell is your own person?"

"Even dogs know that you and the two-faced Buddha are in the same boat. You are taking sides, right? Do you really think that Lao Jiu doesn't have brothers behind him?"

"I've been displeased with you for a long time. You're always so nagging me. What, are you stupid?"

The first vanguard general under Yama's throne, Lao Qi, could no longer contain his temper and took the initiative to curse, with even some excitement in his eyes.

Fight, fight everyone!

He loves the hustle and bustle the most. He was weak and powerless before, but now he has Lao Jiu as his backer. What is there for him to be afraid of?

Shanjun was immediately furious, but before he could say anything, he heard Lao Qi's voice again.

"And you, two-faced Buddha, are you threatening Lao Jiu with your own death? Haha, believe it or not, I will bring my demon sons and grandsons to Daqian right now and smash your Buddha head with Lao Jiu?"

Directly mocking the two-faced Buddha.

Lao Qi felt so happy. In the past, he was weak and nobody listened to him. But now, he is a very important person.

As long as he sticks close to the big tree of Laojiu, he dares to go against any heavenly stem.

Well, except Tianzun.

Zhang Jiuyang appeared indifferent on the surface, but in his heart he gave Lao Qi a thumbs up. The sarcasm before the team fight was really good. There were some things he was not comfortable saying, so it was just right for Lao Qi to say them.

Enjoyable.

Taiyin's voice is ethereal and he doesn't say much, but his position is clear.

"I support Yan Luo."

Just five simple words, but the attitude was so clear that everyone was stunned.

Even Zhang Jiuyang himself was a little surprised, but he felt relieved when he thought about the agarwood. When the agarwood was made, Taiyin would take 30% of it. Now the two of them could be considered to be in the same boat.

The Moon Goddess laughed sweetly and said, "I will remain neutral in this matter. Yan Luo has the power to arrange the assessment tasks, and the Two-Faced Buddha does not want his plan to be ruined. Both sides have their reasons. It is really difficult to deal with."

There was a flash of displeasure in the tiger's eyes.

What a fence-sitter! Yueshen used to be very close to them, but after Yan Luo defeated the Painted Skin Master, she started to lean towards them.

Be able to get along with everyone and offend no one.

This woman is so unreliable!
I just don't understand why Taiyin, who was also a taciturn person before, suddenly stood with Yan Luo so clearly now?
Xuan Su suddenly spoke up. She looked at Zhang Jiuyang deeply and said, "The rules of the Heavenly Lord cannot be broken. What should we do about this matter? Please let the Heavenly Lord decide."

Ever since Yan Luo joined Huang Quan, there seemed to be constant conflicts and disputes. What made her even more fearful was that in less than a year, Yan Luo went from being a newcomer to a core force in Huang Quan.

Until now, he could even compete with the Two-Faced Buddha and even had the upper hand.

This was something she had never expected.

Yan Luo's influence in the underworld is increasing too quickly!

Everyone looked towards Tianzun.

On the Jia throne, Tianzun sat quietly without saying a word. His eyes under the clouds were as deep as the abyss. He swept across the heavenly stems and finally lingered on Yama.

"Yan Luo, can the assessment task be changed?"

He suddenly asked out loud.

The two-faced Buddha and the tiger were delighted when they heard this.

Zhang Jiuyang frowned. Under the deep gaze, he felt an invisible pressure. Normally, no one dared to disrespect Tianzun.

Even the unruly Old Seven became timid, hanging his head with a dejected look like a defeated rooster.

In his opinion, since Tianzun had spoken, there would be no turning back.

Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked directly into the eyes of Tianzun, his voice was as sonorous as iron and loud as thunder.

"No change."

In an instant, Lao Qi suddenly raised his head, and even though it was obscured by the clouds and smoke, one could still see the shock on his face.

A hint of anger flashed in Xuan Su's eyes.

Taiyin and Yueshen did not speak, but the Two-Faced Buddha sneered.

He is the second Heavenly Stem and has been in Huangquan for a long time. Naturally, he knows the price of provoking the Heavenly Venerable.

Many years ago, there was a Heavenly Stem in Huangquan who was fearless and extremely rampant. He even refused to submit to the Heavenly Lord and attempted to sit on the Heavenly Lord's throne.

The result was that the heavenly stem disappeared forever, or rather, it did not disappear but remained in Mount Yamafu.

His bones were forever cast into the A-throne.

Yama Luo, I’m afraid this fate isn’t far away.

Zhang Jiuyang said in a calm and composed voice: "Compared to the ability to move the sky, this assessment mission is not that difficult and not very dangerous. At the same time, it can strike at the so-called famous and upright sects and enhance the reputation of Huangquan. Why should I change it?"

"Tianzun, you asked me to be responsible for assessing the new recruits. The content of the tasks is determined by me. Once, the Painted Skin Master tried to kill me. Did I flinch and refuse to go?"

"It was never me who broke the rules, but the two-faced Buddha who tried to interfere. If the Heavenly Lord insists on taking sides and forces me to change the mission, then fine..."

Zhang Jiuyang slowly stood up and said, "Then I will withdraw from Huangquan from now on and no longer hold the title of Heavenly Stem."

The sound is like a loud bell, sonorous and powerful.

He knew that he had to stand up this time and not be cowardly, even when facing the Heavenly Lord.

Firstly, this assessment task was related to his future plans. Secondly, this was the first time that a small circle centered on him had made its voice heard clearly within Huangquan, and had an open confrontation with the old-school forces centered on the Two-Faced Buddha.

If they withdraw this time, it will greatly dampen the spirit and prestige of the small circle.

As a leader, he must never compromise or give in!
Of course, Zhang Jiuyang was not completely gambling with his life. He had already secretly made the hand seal to summon the gods, ready to invite Wang Lingguan to possess him at any time.

At worst, I can have a real fight with Tianzun in Mount Yanfu, and it's still uncertain who will win or lose.

Not long after Zhang Jiuyang finished speaking, Old Seven gritted his teeth and stood up as well. He didn't dare to look at Tianzun, but said with a stiff upper lip: "I... Old Nine retreat, I, I retreat too!"

Taiyin stood up slowly and spoke even more concisely, only one word.

"retreat."

Xuan Su was startled and felt a little anxious.

Is Huang Quan going to fall into a split today?
