The God and Buddha are actually me

Hearing what Yue Shuai said, Zhang Jiuyang's eyes flashed.

Sure enough, there were some unknown inside stories in the Duke's Mansion tragedy that year, and this ancestral hall was the key to solving the case!

Senior Zhuge Yunhu had already found out about this place, but he kept it secret for some reason.

Could it be that Senior Zhuge also vaguely guessed that Tianzun might be Zhuge Qixing?

If so, it must be a huge blow to Senior Zhuge.

"Yue Shuai, when I just started practicing, I was fighting with Huangquan. At that time, I was not afraid even though my cultivation was shallow, let alone now?"

Zhang Jiuyang's answer was very firm, without any hesitation.

Although he is now doing well in Huangquan and even captured the two-faced Buddha alive, in the final analysis, the real core of Huangquan is Tianzun.

If Tianzun is not defeated, even if he kills all the other heavenly stems in Huangquan, it is not considered a success.

Moreover, Zhang Jiuyang always felt that Tianzun was brewing a huge conspiracy, a plan that was more terrible and amazing than the two-faced Buddha's black sky plan.

Yue Shuai looked at Zhang Jiuyang, trying to find a trace of fear or excitement on his face, but he only saw calmness and tranquility.

That was a kind of calmness after seeing thousands of sails, and a heroic spirit of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but going to the tiger mountain.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said good three times in a row, looking at Zhang Jiuyang with admiration, and said: "No wonder Ling'er likes you so much, young man, when I was your age, I was far inferior to you."

"The underworld is terrifying, and Tianzun is unpredictable, but Daqian has a son like you, so there is hope."

He pointed to the Yue Family Ancestral Hall, and no longer concealed it, and said frankly: "After Zhuge Yunhu investigated, he said that the main target of Tianzun in the case of the Duke's Mansion was exactly this ancestral hall."

"While the demons were disturbing the Duke's Mansion, Tianzun himself... entered this ancestral hall."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart trembled, and he looked at the ancestral hall in front of him again.

More than a decade ago, the Heavenly Lord, who had always been aloof from the world in the underworld, made his first high-profile appearance in front of the world, all for this ancestral hall?

What secrets are hidden in it?

"Let's go in and take a look."

Yue Shuai took out the key from his arms, opened the iron lock on the door, and took Zhang Jiuyang into the Yue Family Ancestral Hall.

There was a smell of wood in the room, mixed with the smell of sandalwood.

Incense burners were curling, and there were spirit tablets like a forest.

"The spirit tablet of Yue Yang, the third son of the seventh generation of the Yue family, the general Zhenbei."

"The spirit tablet of Yue Yong, the fourth son of the eighth generation of the Yue family, the general Fenwei."

"The spirit tablet of Yue Jizhong, the sixth son of the ninth generation of the Yue family, the cavalry captain."

...

Zhang Jiuyang saw that many spirit tablets were placed in a row from high to low, some were arranged in a long row, and some were suddenly interrupted.

"Every row of tablets here is a line of the Yue family, and many of them have been cut off."

Yue Shuai pointed to the tablet of General Zhenbei Yue Yang and said, "This is my third uncle. When the Northern Liao invaded the south, my third uncle led people to defend Yucheng with 3,000 remaining soldiers for seven days. I was only six years old when I attended his funeral."

"General Fenwei Yue Yong was his only son and my childhood friend. He didn't shed a single tear at the funeral, but just clenched his fists tightly and practiced his gun skills all night while guarding the spirit."

"Later, at the age of sixteen, he died on the battlefield with the Liao soldiers."

"His only blood, Yue Jizhong, was raised by me. Like Ling'er, he said that he had no family until the Northern Liao was destroyed, and he refused to marry. Later, he died in battle at the age of twenty-one, and my third uncle's line was completely cut off."

Although he is over sixty years old, when recalling this past event, Yue Shuai's voice still has a trace of ripples, and his eyes reveal memories.

Three generations of heroes in one family.

The little boy who said nothing at his father's funeral has now become a spirit tablet placed below his father.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at these spirit tablets quietly. It was not just the lineage of his third uncle. There were many spirit tablets like this, arranged neatly in rows.

In particular, many people's military positions were still lieutenants, not even generals.

With the influence of the Yue family in the army, it was not difficult to become a general. All those spirit tablets with the rank of lieutenant died young.

The spirit tablet at the top had a line of words.

"The spirit tablet of the great general Dingguogong Yue Jingzhong."

Yue Jingzhong's spirit tablet was at the top, like a general reviewing his troops, and there was a kind of military atmosphere in a trance.

"That night, Tianzun entered the ancestral hall and stayed here for a long time. He did not move any of the spirit tablets and left after about half an hour."

"I was the first one to find Tianzun here, and I was also seriously injured by him here."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "General Yue, forgive me for being blunt, why are you the first one to find Tianzun here?"

Yue Shuai glanced at Zhang Jiuyang, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You are indeed very perceptive. The reason why I rushed to the ancestral hall as soon as possible is because there is a secret from six hundred years ago hidden in this ancestral hall."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes lit up.

It's true!

When Yue Shuai just said that, he noticed something was wrong.

The Duke's Mansion was invaded by demons. As the most powerful person at that time, Yue Shuai rushed to this ancestral hall instead of his relatives' room.

Although the ancestral hall is of great significance, the living relatives should be more important. And as far as Zhang Jiuyang knows, although Yue Jingzhong's spirit tablet is here, his body is buried in Taizu's Xuanling.

Normally, Yue Shuai should save his relatives first, especially Yue Xiaomei who has been bedridden for many years.

But he came to the ancestral hall first, and then happened to run into Tianzun.

There is only one answer, that is, Yue Shuai knew that there was another thing hidden in the ancestral hall, and this thing was even more important than his life.

"I came to the ancestral hall and saw Tianzun. He stood quietly in front of the ancestral tablet, as if he had been watching for a long time."

"At that moment, I suddenly had a very absurd feeling in my heart, as if... Tianzun knew the ancestor."

"He was so terrible that I couldn't even block one of his moves. If he hadn't killed me, I'm afraid I would have died at that time."

"Later, when I woke up again, the Duke's Mansion was in a mess, my younger sister died, my three sons also died, and the most important thing was..."

Yue Shuai said in a heavy voice: "The thing in the ancestral hall is gone."

"What is it?"

There was a hint of tension in Zhang Jiuyang's voice, and his eyes were fixed on Yue Shuai.

He now doubted more and more that Tianzun was Zhuge Qixing, and perhaps that thing could help him make the final confirmation.

"That's what Master Zhuge left behind."

Yue Shuai's voice sounded, but Zhang Jiuyang was startled.

What Tianzun took away was what Zhuge Qixing left behind?

Yue Shuai continued: "Back then, Master Zhuge and our ancestor were as close as brothers, and they were sworn brothers. Both of them were heroes of their time and were the pillars of Daqian's civil and military affairs. The Zhuge family and our Yue family still have a good relationship."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded. No wonder Zhuge Jianzheng took such good care of Yue Ling when he joined the Imperial Observatory. In addition to Yue Ling's own ability, the long-standing friendship between the Zhuge family and the Yue family was also an important reason.

"After the death of Taizu, the ancestor was too sad, and he continued to fight in the south and the north, and eventually died. After that, Master Zhuge made a big fuss in the underworld, and his health deteriorated. It is said that he often vomited blood in his later years, and even went blind."

"But Master Zhuge is the smartest person in the world after all, and his wisdom is close to that of an immortal. In such a desperate situation, he actually successfully laid out the towering star array, exhausted his heart and soul, calculated everything, and left three brocade bags."

Zhang Jiuyang's pupils lit up, and said: "I know this. Master Zhuge left three brocade bags. The first brocade bag successfully calculated the time when the Northern Liao would go south, and left a method to defeat the enemy. The Yue family used this method to defeat the Liao army and stabilize the court."

The last of the three heroes of Qianyuan ended. At that time, the surrounding countries were ready to move, and the Northern Liao was the first to take action.

That was the most dangerous moment since the founding of Daqian. Once the Northern Liao had eaten the meat, the Western Regions and the ancient countries in the southern border, which had been sharpening their knives for a long time, might also start a war to get a piece of the pie.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

So the battle against Northern Liao not only had to be won, but also had to be won greatly in order to shock other countries.

Relying on the first secret bag left by Zhuge Liang, and the bravery of the Yue family, that battle achieved an unprecedented victory, greatly demonstrating the national prestige.

"The second brocade bag, Zhuge Guoshi predicted the rebellion in Daqian seventy years later. The emperor deployed defenses in advance and wiped out the rebels."

"The third brocade bag is even more amazing. It predicted a great disaster three hundred years later. At that time, natural disasters occurred all over Kyushu, countless victims were affected, and there were no crops for years. The then-reigning Emperor Zhaowen thought of Zhuge's brocade bag in despair."

"The emperor opened the brocade bag and found that it was a treasure map. He sent people to look for it. In the end, he found that it was a granary hidden underground. There were also formations to prevent rot. There was also a passage on the stone tablet."

"Three hundred years later, the whole country was in disaster, so I hid 14.32 million stones of grain and grass here for your majesty's use. This is the last plan I offer to Daqian. I hope your majesty will take care of it. I will take my leave."

Later, Emperor Zhaowen opened the granary to release grain and stabilized the situation. When the disaster was over, the 14.32 million stones of grain were just used up.

Not one stone more, not one stone less

Emperor Zhaowen was shocked, and he repeatedly conferred titles on Zhuge Qixing, mourning him deeply.

He had never thought that there would be a minister who would devote himself to the emperor three hundred years later, offer advice, and realize a good story of monarch and minister.

Zhang Jiuyang talked about it eloquently. He and Mr. Meng had talked about these things, and even Mr. Meng was amazed at Zhuge's wisdom when he talked about this.

That is why Mr. Meng believed that Zhuge Qixing was not dead, because how could a person with great wisdom make a big fuss in the underworld and destroy his foundation in a fit of anger?

"General Yue, but you still didn't say what the Heavenly Venerable took away?"

Zhang Jiuyang frowned and asked. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and an amazing guess emerged.

General Yue seemed to see what he was thinking and nodded.

"You guessed right. The Heavenly Venerable took away the fourth brocade bag left by Master Zhuge before his death."
