The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 458 The third inheritance, the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave!

Be careful of Zhuge Yunhu!

When Zhang Jiuyang saw these six words, he was shocked. He turned to look at Yue Ling and saw that she also looked surprised.

Obviously, Yue Ling didn't understand how her grandmother knew the news.

You know, they had only just guessed that there might be something wrong with the Zhuge family, and that was all thanks to the adventure in Baiyun Temple.

But Madam Shen, a mortal with no cultivation, actually noticed this and sent Qingji to send him a letter to warn him.

This is a bit incredible.

Zhang Jiuyang once again realized that Madam Shen had been able to stand firm in Yangzhou for decades, and her methods and mind were very extraordinary.

"Qingji, besides this letter, did Old Lady Shen ask you to convey anything else?"

Qingji immediately shook his head and said, "No, but she seemed to want to attend the master's wedding, but in the end she didn't come."

Yue Ling was silent.

She naturally knew what her grandmother was worried about. Her grandmother had always announced to the public that she had severed all ties with her mother and would never have any contact with Yue's family again.

This was primarily to appease the Sacred Heart.

Otherwise, no matter how foolish the emperor was, he would not tolerate the alliance between the world's richest businessman and the most powerful Jizhou Army of Daqian.

But Yue Ling knew very well that the Jizhou Army had been able to survive the layers of corruption in the imperial court over the years thanks to her grandmother's secret help.

My grandmother is old, and what she values ​​most is her granddaughter. How could she not want to attend the wedding?

But for the sake of the overall situation, I forced myself to hold it back.

Zhang Jiuyang sighed softly. He admired the old man's forbearance, but he also felt a little bit reluctant. After a moment, he burned the letter in his hand and then looked at the three little ones.

"Let's go to Yue Mansion."

He and Yue Ling looked at each other and their eyes became solemn.

Zhuge Yunhu should be in Yue Mansion at this moment. He is an extremely smart man. They must pretend that nothing happened and must not alert the enemy.

"Ah."

Yue Ling hummed, and her eyes became particularly determined.

Zhuge Yunhu was like a master to her, and he gave her a lot of support and care in the Imperial Observatory. She didn't want them to end up on opposite sides.

But if it really comes to that, she will never show mercy.

A kind army cannot be commanded, this is a truth she had learned a long time ago.

Yue Mansion.

As soon as the two men reached the gate, they alarmed many servants who were busy working.

"Miss, uncle!"

Everyone came forward to greet him. Soon, even Yue Shuai came in person. He looked at Zhang Jiuyang and laughed loudly, saying proudly, "My dear son-in-law, I thought you had run away from your marriage."

He has been worried a lot during this period, fearing that the marriage would fall through.

After all, it is really difficult for this daughter to get married, which has become a pain in her heart. If she misses Zhang Jiuyang, she may never get married in this life.

Mrs. Shen glared at him, which immediately calmed down Yue Shuai and he smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Jiu, recently His Majesty agreed to let the army farm on their own, and he got a little carried away, drinking every day, and his mouth is not controlled, you don't take it to heart."

Madam Shen looked at Zhang Jiuyang with some distress and continued, "How come you have lost so much weight in just half a month? I will make you some old hen soup later."

"Thank you Aunt Shen."

Zhang Jiuyang was sincerely grateful. In his past and present lives, he had rarely felt this kind of care. Things that many people took for granted were actually out of his reach.

Mrs. Shen truly treated him as her son. She not only made clothes for him, but also made clothes for A-Li. During this time, A-Li was well raised by her, like a little princess from a wealthy family.

"Haha, dear son-in-law, come on, have a drink with me. The issue of military rations has been resolved. Let's have a good chat about what to do next."

The more General Yue looked at his son-in-law, the more satisfied he was. He was truly Jizhou's lucky star. He had solved the problem that had troubled him for so many years in no time.

Zhang Jiuyang was moved and took the opportunity to say, "General Yue, why don't we call Zhuge Jianzheng to come over for a drink? He is knowledgeable and intelligent, and should be able to give a lot of good suggestions."

Yue Shuai snorted and said angrily, "Don't mention that old guy. He originally said he would come to your wedding, but yesterday he suddenly said he had something to do and had to go back to Beijing. No matter what I did, I couldn't keep him!"

Madam Shen tried to smooth things over, saying, "Brother Zhuge is the director of the Imperial Observatory. He holds an important position, so he certainly can't be away for too long. While he's busy, our Ling'er can have more rest."

Yue Shuai frowned and said, "It just feels like he left in a hurry...something's not right."

Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling looked at each other.

Zhuge Yunhu has actually left. It seems that we won’t be able to see him this time. The next time we meet, I’m afraid we’ll have to go to the capital.

After a while, General Yue took Zhang Jiuyang to have a drink, while Mrs. Shen pulled her daughter over, looked her up and down, with a strange look in her eyes.

She asked quietly: "Ling'er, have you already...slept together?"

As someone who has experienced this, she has noticed the changes in her daughter. Although Yue Ling still looks heroic and has a sharp temperament, there is a hint of charm between her brows that is difficult to conceal.

The daughter who loved to wield swords and guns has truly become a woman.

Yue Ling was a little shy and nodded slightly.

Madam Shen smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good, that's good."

Unlike ordinary women, she was originally a wandering knight who was not bound by etiquette. She and Yue Jiang had once secretly pledged their lives together, and their love was so deep that it came naturally. She did not think there was anything wrong with this.

On the contrary, she was even worried that given her daughter's personality, even if she got married, she might not do that kind of thing.

"There are some things that I, as a mother, should teach you."

"what?"

"I'll teach you a few tricks about the affairs of the boudoir. I guarantee that after you get married, you will be able to control Xiaojiu completely."

……

That night.

Marshal Yue finally agreed to let Zhang Jiuyang leave. The two drank a lot of wine, talked about many military and political affairs, and completely opened their hearts to each other.

Based on his knowledge from his previous life, Zhang Jiuyang made some suggestions that were feasible in this world, which caused General Yue to applaud and praise him endlessly.

If he had not been so determined to cultivate himself, Marshal Yue would probably have wanted to arrange a position for him in the army.

"My dear son-in-law, let's stop here for today. I will write down all the methods you mentioned on paper when I go back!"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Before the old charlatan left, he asked me to give you this letter. It was so mysterious that he didn't even let me read it."

Yue Shuai took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Jiuyang.

The old charlatan is Zhuge Yunhu. They used to travel the world together. When Zhuge Yunhu had no money, he would set up a stall on the roadside to tell fortunes and soon made a fortune, so he was called the old charlatan.

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned. Zhuge Yunhu...left him a letter?

"Did Senior Zhuge leave a letter for Yue Ling?"

Zhang Jiuyang asked as he took the letter.

"No, I wonder too, but this guy is always mysterious and does things in a way that is hard to understand."

Zhang Jiuyang opened the letter. It was similar to the letter from Old Madam Shen. The content was very brief, with only four words.

"Don't go to the underworld." Zhang Jiuyang subconsciously clenched the letter and frowned tightly.

Don't go to Huangquan...

Is this Zhuge Yunhu reminding himself?

Could it be that his identity as Yama Luo has been exposed, and he is secretly reminding him not to attend the next Huangquan gathering, otherwise he will be killed!
Tianzun... is going to take action against him?
But there was one thing Zhang Jiuyang couldn't figure out. According to his reasoning, the reason why Tianzun knew his identity as Yan Luo was because of Zhuge Yunhu's betrayal.

But why did Zhuge Yunhu take the initiative to leave this letter to remind himself?
Thinking back to the letter from Old Lady Shen, and the words "Be careful of Zhuge Yunhu", Zhang Jiuyang felt a little confused for a moment.

"General Yue, you and Senior Zhuge have been friends for decades. In your eyes, what kind of person is Senior Zhuge?"

Yue Jiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this question. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "The old charlatan is a very remarkable person."

There was a hint of surprise in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes. He did not expect that General Yue would admire Zhuge Yunhu so much.

"Everyone calls him a sick cat, and thinks he only became the Supervisor because of Zhuge Qixing's halo. Some even think he is too slick and weak, and doesn't have the demeanor of Zhuge Guoshi back then, and he has disgraced the Zhuge name..."

There was a hint of heaviness in General Yue's voice, revealing all the negative comments about Zhuge Yunhu.

What he said was all true. It was not just a rumor circulating in the monk community, but even within the Imperial Observatory, there were some people who looked down on Zhuge Yunhu.

After decades of recuperation, I don't seek any achievement but only to avoid mistakes, just like a sick cat.

"But I know...he wasn't like this before."

Commander Yue sighed and said, "We also had many late night discussions in the past. We were filled with indignation at all the injustices in the world and were determined to follow the example of our ancestors and use our knowledge and skills to change the world!"

"We talked about politics, military affairs, reforms, and all our visions for the future. When he traveled around the world, he would even carefully record the sufferings and expectations of every grassroots citizen and recite those words every day."

"During our travels, we encountered many people who were more hateful than demons. No matter how high their status or how powerful they were, the old charlatan was always the first to stand up and was never afraid."

"Later, he became the head of the Zhuge family and served as the director of the Imperial Observatory. But since he was injured by Tianzun, he seems to have changed a little."

"He became less and less talkative, played chess every day, and was addicted to all kinds of pornographic books and erotic poems. He even didn't care much about slaying demons and eliminating evil."

"In the past, if someone called him a sick cat, he would definitely find a way to teach them a lesson, but now he just smiles and doesn't take it seriously."

Yue Shuai slammed the table hard and said, "Even when I wanted to help him, he stopped me. It seems like this guy really has no backbone at all!"

Zhang Jiuyang realized that Zhuge Yunhu’s change should be related to Tianzun.

"but……"

Yue Shuai paused, but continued, "I always believe that the old charlatan who used to recite the sufferings of the people every day and dared to stand up against all injustice and evil will definitely come back!"

He believed in his old friend, even though everyone called him a sick cat, Yue Jiang only called him an old charlatan.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the letter in his hand again, and stared at the words "Don't go to Huangquan" for a long time...

into the night.

He looked at the starry sky outside the window and fell into deep thought.

The galaxy is shining brightly, just like an intricate chess game, and he is now just one of the chess pieces.

He thought he understood many things, but in the end he found that it was still vague and not real.

Zhang Jiuyang had to admit that this time, he really had no confidence at all.

After a long time, he took out the coins and started to tell fortunes.

When you are undecided, rely on metaphysics.

The copper coins were all ancient coins he had previously exchanged from the treasury of the Imperial Observatory. They were round on the outside and square on the inside, with the reign title of Emperor Taizu, "Qianyuan", in the middle.

The ancients believed that the sky was round and the earth was square, and that copper coins represented the heaven and the earth, while the emperor's reign represented people. This perfectly formed the trinity of heaven, earth and man, and could be used to communicate with the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth.

Using such copper coins to perform the Liu Yao Gua technique will make the calculations more accurate.

Moreover, Zhang Jiuyang did not calculate anything too big, as he probably could not figure it out with his level of Taoism. What he calculated was whether there would be any danger at the next Huangquan gathering, and whether it would be a good or bad omen.

This matter is extremely urgent because the Huangquan Gathering will begin soon.

wow~
As the copper coins rolled down, Zhang Jiuyang also saw the hexagram.

The fifty-fourth hexagram is Lei Ze Gui Mei.

"When this line is encountered in the Guimei hexagram, the expedition will be dangerous and there will be no benefit. The next hexagram is Ping, which is very bad."

Zhang Jiuyang counted with his fingers and his expression became more solemn. It seemed that Zhuge Yunhu did not lie. He would be in great danger at the next Huangquan gathering!
Even according to the interpretation of the hexagram of Liu Yao, the physical end is approaching, and as for luck, all kinds of misfortunes will come. Things are contrary to common sense. There will be happiness at first, but soon it will turn bad and disaster will follow.

No matter how you look at it, it is definitely a very bad omen!
The solution is very simple, just like Zhuge Yunhu said, don’t attend the Huangquan gathering.

From this point of view, Zhuge Yunhu's wisdom should not be underestimated, as he thought ahead of himself.

Zhang Jiuyang put away the copper coin and frowned.

But just as he was worried, the visualization picture in his mind suddenly vibrated and emitted brilliant rays of light.

Zhang Jiuyang was overjoyed and instantly cheered up.

The third inheritance of Lu Zu's visualization diagram is about to begin!

After accepting the gift from Patriarch Baiyun, he was only a step away from receiving the inheritance from the visualization diagram, and now it has finally come to fruition.

Zhang Jiuyang was very much looking forward to what kind of amazing inheritance Lu Zu would bestow after the Tiandun Sword Intent.

As he sunk his mind into his spiritual realm, a consciousness as vast as the ocean suddenly descended upon him.

Immediately afterwards, a series of voices sounded in Zhang Jiuyang's mind.

"The iron crutch's gourd holds the sun and the moon, while his disheveled face holds the universe in his sleeves."

This is Li Tieguai among the Eight Immortals.

"The naughty boy with a bun is strong and sturdy, and the precious banana leaf fan is profound."

This is Zhongli Quan.

"Riding a donkey upside down is ridiculous, secretly eating ginseng essence to understand the great way."

This is Zhang Guolao.

"The fire dragon passes on the sword to slay the evil demons, and the dream of a yellow millet brings disaster and happiness."

This is Lu Dongbin.

"A lone chivalrous woman riding a crane in the human world, a lotus blossoming in the weak waters of Penglai."

This is He Xiangu.

"The bamboo basket is used to carry water and the anecdotes of drinking and singing are known."

This is Lan Caihe.

"I am a prime minister who hates poetry and books, and I am a bohemian who likes Taoism."

This is Han Xiangzi.

"He was rich and powerful, and was named the uncle of the emperor. But when his wealth was gone, he lived in the mountains."

This is Uncle Cao.

……

Instantly, Zhang Jiuyang's heart was shaken. The Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave...

They're all here?
