The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 78: The Fierce Spiritual Officer, Yue Ling's Sorrow

“Woo woo woo, Sister Ming Wang, Brother Nine, Brother Nine is on fire!”

Ali's face was dark. She did not rush into the fire foolishly. After all, she was a ghost, and the flames were masculine and overbearing. If she, a ghost, rushed in, not only would she fail to save Brother Nine, but she would also become a burden.

So she came to find Sister Mingwang first.

Yue Ling's eyes narrowed, and she rushed towards the fire without any hesitation.

Fire snakes were dancing and flames were raging.

As soon as he approached, Yue Ling felt the horror of the flame. The terrifying temperature seemed to burn everything and even caused the void to slightly distort.

Her major was "The True Scripture of the Three-World Ming Wang", which was known as one of the three wonders of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and could control thunder and the Ming Wang's fire.

Ever since she cultivated the Mingwang Fire, she has become almost immune to other flames and can remain calm and still like a red lotus in the blazing fire.

The fire ghost among the five elements of the heavenly ghost has reached the level of spiritual fire, but it still cannot hurt her.

But now, she felt the long-lost heat.

This flame is definitely not an ordinary fire!

It can hurt her!

"Yuetou, I——"

Lao Gao was also awakened and rushed over while putting on his clothes. Before he could say anything, he saw Yue Ling rushing in resolutely and her figure disappeared in the sea of ​​fire.

He also wanted to chase in, but before he got close, his face was covered in sweat and his body felt hot.

Boom boom boom!
The old ghost in the jar was jumping around wildly, conveying an extremely strong feeling of fear.

Lao Gao quickly took out a talisman and chanted a spell.

"The sun shines like crystal, the moon shines like light, the water of dharma spreads everywhere, and blessings and auspiciousness come!"

The next moment, the talisman started to burn automatically, and water vapor filled the air. Not long after, rain began to fall from the sky, but it was not a large-scale rainfall, and was limited to the small area of ​​the burning house.

This was already the limit for a master. His face turned pale and his magic power was rapidly depleted.

However, what shocked him was that even with the rain, the flames did not die down at all. Instead, they burned more and more vigorously, as if even the rain could be used as fuel.

"It cannot be extinguished by water. What kind of flame is this?"

……

Yue Ling rushed into the house. Some charred beams fell down and were smashed to pieces by her. When a fire snake attacked, she drew her sword and slashed it.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, cutting a path through the flames.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes were stern, and her body was surrounded by golden flames. She was as majestic as a god descending to the earth.

This flame was indeed powerful, even her Ming Wang Fire was suppressed slightly, but fortunately the person who controlled the fire was still weak and his cultivation was not enough.

She was still able to suppress it with her force.

Not long after, she saw the source of the sea of ​​fire. Her eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Zhang Jiuyang was naked, with flames spewing from every pore on his body. He seemed to be wearing a layer of red-gold flaming armor, except for his pupils, which were blood red and full of hostility.

He seemed to be trying his best to endure and let out a low growl like a wild animal.

When he saw someone breaking in, he suddenly raised his eyes that were burning with red flames, and the violence in his heart seemed to explode, no longer able to be controlled, and rushed towards Yue Ling.

boom!
He was moving incredibly fast, as if countless heat waves were pushing him forward. He made a whistling sound like a train, and the floor tiles under his feet exploded inch by inch and turned into charcoal.

There was a hint of surprise in Yue Ling's eyes. Such speed was already no less than that of many strong men in the fourth realm.

If it were any other Lingtai Lang, they would definitely not hold back in order to protect themselves and would have to fight to the death, but fortunately she was Yue Ling, the undisputed strongest among the thirty-six Lingtai Langs.

The dragon bird flipped over and turned the blade.

She was faster than Zhang Jiuyang, and her body movements were perfect. She narrowly avoided Zhang Jiuyang's pounce, and a strand of her hair was burned to ashes by the flames.

clang! !

The back of the Dragon Sparrow Blade shattered the red flames and struck the back of Zhang Jiuyang's head, making a sound like metal and stone.

Zhang Jiuyang staggered, his eyes filled with hostility seemed a little dazed.

"What a hard head."

Yue Ling was surprised. Her sword strike was enough to make a cultivator of the fourth level fall into a coma, but Zhang Jiuyang only staggered.

Move your left foot forward and raise your arms slightly, like a tiger pressing a knife.

Twelve Formations of Breaking the Formation, the Sword-Pressure Formation!
clang! clang!
Although Zhang Jiuyang tried his best to dodge, the Dragon Sparrow Sword was like pulling chestnuts out of the fire. It was extremely fast and exquisite, and it hit the back of his head twice in succession.

Pfft!
At this moment, Zhang Jiuyang fell to the ground and fainted.

Suddenly the gushing flames began to dissipate and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, but in just a moment, the spacious room turned into charcoal.

Zhang Jiuyang was lying naked on the ground, still talking in his sleep.

"Stop hitting me...it hurts..."

Yue Ling looked at him, eyebrows slightly raised.

……

Two days later.

Zhang Jiuyang woke up slowly, only to find his brain still a little dizzy, especially at the back of his head, which ached slightly, as if someone had chopped him with a knife.

When I opened my eyes, Ali's little face came into view.

Pear blossoms bring rain.

She excitedly crawled into Zhang Jiuyang's arms and choked up, "Brother Jiu, you were so scary that day. You were almost roasted. If you died, then Ah Li would have a companion~"

Zhang Jiuyang: “…”

For a moment he couldn't tell whether you wanted me to die or not.

There was a dull pain in his body, and many parts of his body were bandaged with white cloth. It seemed that he was badly burned.

Zhang Jiuyang showed a bitter smile. Master Lingguan was indeed powerful, but he was too powerful and too fierce. His innate magical power was actually the Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire!

When Wang Lingguan was eating in Xiangyin Temple, he was burned by the flying talisman of Sa Zhenren, which refined his eyes into golden pupils. Therefore, he had the supernatural power of fire. The word "train" is included in his title, which shows how powerful he is.

Later, he became the chief of the Five Hundred Spiritual Officials, the Taoist guardian god of the mountains, holding a golden whip, riding a wheel of fire, observing the good and evil in the world with his three eyes, punishing on behalf of heaven, and eliminating evil.

It is said that he had a fierce and violent temperament, which was why Master Sa destroyed his temple in the first place.

But as he secretly followed Master Sa for twelve years, he was influenced by his words and deeds, and finally gained enlightenment, transforming his violent temper into the fire to subdue demons. From then on, he hated evil and had a fierce look in his eyes like a diamond.

The demon-subduing fire is the Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire, which is also his innate magical power as the Jade Pivot Fire Palace Heavenly General.

This flame is extremely fierce and cannot be suppressed without the will of a diamond. Although Zhang Jiuyang forcibly obtained this innate magical power through the visualization diagram, with his current level of cultivation, he can be said to kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of his own.

Under the heavenly fire, you are familiar with me, I am familiar with you, and we all become acquaintances.

Just like Zhong Kui's ability to eat ghosts, its side effect is that he has to endure the impact of resentment. The Jade Pivot Sky Fire is more powerful and has greater side effects. Not only is it extremely violent, but if one's cultivation is not enough, it will also hurt oneself.

It's not that his magical power is not good, it's that Zhang Jiuyang is too weak. To Wang Lingguan, the evil spirit is just the fuel for the heavenly fire. The heavier the evil spirit, the stronger the power of the heavenly fire, and the more it can burn away the evil spirits and punish the evil.

As the saying goes, a speck of dust on the body of a god is a mountain to mortals.

However, this risky attempt was very valuable. Zhang Jiuyang felt that if his cultivation could break through to the third level, he should be able to control the heavenly fire for a short period of time without being hurt by it.

By then, Yushu Tianhuo will become his trump card, and his strength will inevitably increase dramatically.

"Ali, your ninth brother is still injured, don't disturb him. He has woken up now, and you don't have to stay by his side all the time. Go out and play."

A cold voice sounded, and Zhang Jiuyang saw that Yue Ling was sitting by the window, just reading a book quietly.

It feels familiar, as if it is my own "The Legend of Zhong Kui Catching Ghosts".

She really likes this book.

Ah Li was most afraid of Yue Ling, so she just said "oh" obediently, but whispered a few words to Zhang Jiuyang.

"Nineth brother, Sister Ming Wang has been watching over you these past two days and even changed your medicine in person. Even I was almost kicked out of the room. I'm sure she saw you naked."

"According to the plot in the novel, Brother Nine, are you going to give me your kidney in return..."

Zhang Jiuyang was immediately struck by lightning. He saw me... naked?

He suddenly remembered that his clothes seemed to have been burned to ashes by the skyfire...

He then remembered that with the power of the Jade Pivot Sky Fire, neither Lao Gao nor A Li could stop him. The only one who had the ability to stop it was Yue Ling.

Based on this reasoning, I should have fought with Yue Ling naked at that time...

hiss!
Headache!

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn’t he faint for a while longer?

He doesn’t even dare to look at Yue Ling now. He feels too embarrassed to do that!

Ali left humming a ballad, holding her pink kitchen knife, and skipped to kill the fish, preparing to make fish soup for Brother Jiu to nourish his body.

Only Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling were left in the room.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

He opened his mouth several times but no words came out. In the end, he could only cover his face with the quilt and try to hide his ignorance.

I have lived for so many years, but I have never experienced such social death.

Grandpa, I want to become a monk...

"The Imperial Observatory kept urging me to come, so I had to let Xiao Gao return to Beijing to report first. You have too many secrets, and I don't trust others to change the medicine, so I had to come myself."

After a pause, she glanced sideways and saw Zhang Jiuyang with his head covered with a quilt, with a hint of a smile on her lips.

The light golden sunlight sprinkled on her cascading black hair. As her smile bloomed, her heroic eyebrows and eyes became softer, and her face was like a painting.

"A real man will not change his expression even if his head is cut and blood is shed. We are heroes, why should we be so obsessed with such trivial matters?"

Zhang Jiuyang sighed.

Guan Yu is a great hero, and he remained calm even when having his bones scraped to treat poison. But how about asking him to ride his Red Hare and run around naked?
"Well, do you have anything to explain about the fire?"

Yue Ling took the initiative to change the subject.

Zhang Jiuyang lay in bed for a long time and only uttered one sentence.

"I've been feeling a bit irritated lately."

Yue Ling: “…”

She closed the book, shook her head, and said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. But the flame is too fierce. Don't try to control it before you break through to the third level of Xiao Zhou Tian."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "Thank you."

Yue Ling hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"If you really want to thank me, there is one thing I would like to ask of you."

"what's up?"

"Yellow Spring."

She said in a deep voice, "If you have any news about Huang Quan in the future, please tell me as soon as possible. This is very important to me."

Zhang Jiuyang asked curiously, "Why are you so obsessed with Huang Quan?"

From the first time they met to now becoming friends, Yue Ling left a very good impression on him. She was brave, strong, righteous, sincere, and calm, as if she possessed all the good qualities of a soldier.

The only thing is Huangquan.

Whenever it comes to Huang Quan, her emotions always fluctuate and she is no longer as calm as before.

Hearing this question, Yue Ling was silent for a moment, with her eyes slightly lowered.

"Well, it's okay if it's inconvenient to say it—"

"My sister died in the underworld."

Her voice was low, and even after so many years, she would subconsciously clench her fists when she mentioned that incident again.

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned. Sister?

He actually tried to learn about Yue Ling's background. The Dingguo Mansion did not have many descendants of this generation. Apart from Yue Ling, there seemed to be only three sons. He had never heard that she had a younger sister?

Lao Gao once said that Yue Ling's mother was pregnant for 18 months before giving birth to her. At that time, there were strange visions of dragons and tigers. The emperor sent the supervisor to investigate and found that it was a daughter. After touching the bones, he evaluated her as a precious weapon for the country and a heroic female dragon and tiger.

Quite legendary.

"You should know about my origins. In fact, behind that popular story, there is another character, a character that has been ignored by everyone."

She thought of her sister, and a trace of pity and guilt flashed in her eyes.

"My mother gave birth to my sister and me at the same time. But unlike me, my sister was very weak and almost didn't survive the first winter."

"I started practicing at the age of five, wielding swords and guns, but my sister could only lie in bed, relying on drugs to keep herself alive every day. When she grew up, she would gasp after walking a few steps and was often sick."

"I felt like I had taken away my sister's vitality, but she comforted me and was very close to me."

"This kind of life was originally considered stable, until one day..."

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the murderous intent was as cold as the sudden arrival of winter.

"For one thing, the Heavenly Lord in the underworld attacked the Duke's Mansion. My sister suffered an unexpected disaster and was tortured to death by the evil spirits released by the Heavenly Lord."

Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "She was only fourteen years old. She and I had agreed to fly kites together in the spring. But when I rushed back from the battlefield, her body had not yet been found. The coffin was filled with minced meat..."

Zhang Jiuyang finally understood.

He didn't say any words of condolence, just four words.

"Okay, let me help you."
