Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 83, The Mastermind

Chen Yulou was not overly surprised when he heard this.

Ever since he arrived, Qingqing's attention had clearly shifted from Jiale to him. He was not a wooden man, so he could naturally notice this change.

However, at this moment, he did not have too much thought about love. After all, after traveling through time, Chen Yulou was burdened with the task of cultivating the great Dao and saving his country, and was destined not to invest too much energy in women.

Although he will not spend too much time on women, men still need women's company after all.

Especially when facing a woman who comes to his door, if she is outstanding in appearance and has good character, he will not refuse her.

Then, Chen Yulou turned to Qingqing and said sincerely, "Qingqing, thank you for your hard work these past three days."

Qingqing hurriedly shook her head, her eyes full of concern: "It's okay, Brother Chen, I didn't do anything."

"By the way, Brother Chen, are you hungry?"

Chen Yulou smiled and nodded. He was naturally very hungry after not eating for three days.

Qingqing immediately responded with a smile: "I'll prepare some delicious food for you." After that, the girl turned and ran out, her steps light as a breeze.

"Jiale, go help."

Taoist Simu ordered.

"Yes, Master." Jiale responded.

During these three days, he was indeed sad about Qingqing's love for Chen Yulou, but after calming down, he also figured it out that a real man will never have trouble finding a wife.

What's more, when the royal zombies attacked, Chen Yulou chose to hold the zombies back while he was only concerned with escaping with Qingqing. He felt a little ashamed afterwards.

Since Qingqing was in love with Chen Yulou, he felt that he had no right to compete for her.

After Jiale left the room, perhaps because they could see that Uncle Jiu and Chen Yulou had something to say, Taoist Simu, Taoist Qianhe and Master Ikkyu asked them a few questions with concern and then left the room.

The sunlight shines through the mottled windows onto the ground, forming patches of light and shadow.

Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Yulou and said, "Yulou, you crushed the royal zombie to death, do you still remember?"

Chen Yulou nodded and responded: "Master, I have some impression."

"But Master, I was controlled at that time."

"Controlled?"

Uncle Jiu was startled when he heard this, feeling a little surprised, but then he was relieved and asked directly, "Which magic weapon is the Buddha umbrella?"

Chen Yulou nodded immediately: "That's it."

Then, he was startled and looked at Uncle Jiu cautiously: "Master, where is the magic weapon, the Vajra Umbrella?"

Uncle Jiu glanced at him, understanding his disciple's worries, and smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, I put it away."

"I won't destroy it. After all, it's not easy for it to become a magic weapon. Destroying the treasures of heaven and earth is not what we Maoshan Taoists should do."

In the silent room, only the breeze blew gently, and the leaves outside the window rustled. Then Uncle Jiu continued in a serious tone: "Although this umbrella saved you, it also controlled you."

"You have to know that it is a magical weapon. If it doesn't recognize its master and doesn't have the master to drive it, it won't be able to act on its own."

"After all, it's not a spiritual weapon."

"It has the ability to act on its own, which can only mean one thing: someone is controlling it from behind."

"Ah?" Chen Yulou was stunned. Someone was actually controlling the Diamond Umbrella?

His face changed. If there really was someone controlling the Vajra Umbrella and he was unaware of it, it meant that the person controlling it was far more powerful than him.

"Wait, Master, you said someone was controlling the Vajra Umbrella. Why did the person controlling it save me?" Chen Yulou asked Uncle Jiu, staring at him.

The air around seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere filled the room.

But then again, since the person in control can manipulate the Vajra Umbrella to save him, he can naturally also kill him. In short, this matter must be made clear.

Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Yulou, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's interested in you too."

"You like me?" Chen Yulou felt a little confused.

"you forgot?"

"Did Ikkyu-san persuade you to enter Buddhism?" Uncle Jiu reminded him.

Chen Yulou was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth in surprise. "Master, are you saying that the person controlling the Vajra Umbrella is Master Ikkyu?"

Is Master Ikkyu so powerful?
Just by touching the Vajra Umbrella, he could control it in front of his eyes without anyone noticing?
Uncle Jiu shook his head: "It's not him."

"His Dao level allows him to use the Vajra Umbrella, but it's impossible for him to make it move freely, let alone control it to possess you and control you in battle."

Chen Yuliu thought about it and it was true. If Master Ikkyu could control the Vajra Umbrella to possess him and kill the royal zombies in no time, then Master Ikkyu would not be unable to defeat Uncle Jiu.

"Who is that?" Chen Yulou asked curiously.

Uncle Jiu immediately shook his head: "I don't know!"

“But it should be related to Buddhism!”

After his disciple Chen Yulou fell into a coma, he once again found Master Ikkyu and had an in-depth conversation with him alone.

After some earnest persuasion, Master Ikkyu finally couldn't resist his persistence and revealed why he took the risk of offending Maoshan and himself, the One-Eyebrow Taoist Priest, and publicly persuaded Chen Yulou to abandon Taoism and turn to Buddhism.

Then, Uncle Jiu turned his gaze to Chen Yulou and said solemnly, "Yulou, I'll tell you the details after I figure it out!"

"Also, regarding that Vajra Umbrella, I can't let it stay with you any longer. I will take it back today!"

"Because we still don't know the intentions of the person behind the scenes, this umbrella can save you, but it can also become a weapon that threatens your life!"

Is this related to Buddhism?
This is not surprising, after all, the Vajra Umbrella is a Buddhist instrument.

As for Uncle Jiu's decision to take away the King Kong Umbrella, Chen Yulou nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Master, since there is a problem with the King Kong Umbrella, you can take it away."

"Besides, as a Maoshan Taoist priest, I have been holding Buddhist instruments for a long time, which is a bit out of place after all."

Uncle Jiu was pleased with Chen Yulou's response. After all, the Vajra Umbrella was a precious magic weapon. Even in the entire Maoshan, there were only a handful of magic weapons.

Every time a magic weapon is used, it is an earth-shaking event that requires the unanimous consent of the headmaster, the three palaces and five masters, and all the elders.

So, when Uncle Jiu heard Qiu Sheng say that the Vajra Umbrella was a magic weapon, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Worried about Chen Yulou's safety, he hurried over.

It has to be said that in order to win over its disciples, the Buddhist sect really spent a lot of money and even used such precious magic weapons as temptation.

"By the way, Yulou, these three pieces of talisman paper are the Heavenly Thunder Talismans that I spent three days drawing." Uncle Jiu took out three talismans from his lapel and handed them to Chen Yulou.

When Chen Yulou heard it was the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, he was shocked and overjoyed. He quickly asked, "Master, is this the same kind of Heavenly Thunder Talisman you used to deal with the Royal Zombies?"
