Big Bodhi - Chapter 24-1

Chapter 24: The Moon on the Middle of the Sky (1/2)

Ji Bugui stood up and took three steps to follow.

Ji Yue Nian’s gaze was somewhat obscure as he slowed his pace slightly and said: “Ji Bugui, there is one thing that you need to do at this time.”

“Grandpa, please speak straight.” Ji Bugui’s cheeks were swollen and bulging, so much so that his voice had some hoarseness to it.

“It was after the Lantern Festival sixteen years ago that Zhao Yin Yue died,” Ji Yue Nian said softly, “Father is using the Lantern Festival to welcome me at this time.

By now the two of them had already reached the banks of the Linghui River outside Anyang City, only a hundred feet away from the wide open gates of Anyang.

The city gate was brightly lit, and dozens of Ji family guards were patrolling back and forth. Looking through the gate, one could vaguely see a glimpse of the bustle and noise of Anyang City.

Ji Bugui thought for a moment and shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Eldest son, don’t give me a hard time, the Lord of the family is high and mighty, and I’m just an insignificant son of the fourth house, how can I possibly know what the old man is thinking?”

Ji Yuenian glanced at his swollen cheeks, waving his sleeves and blowing out a dark black light, and said: “You are not the fourth house concubine son, Ji Bugui, tonight, but the eldest son of the main lineage of the Ji family, Ji Yue Nian.”

The black light attached itself to the top of Ji Bugui’s head and then spread throughout his body. In a few short breaths, Ji Bugui’s entire body slowly twisted and changed within the black light until he finally transformed into a handsome young man wearing a black silk robe.

At this moment, his appearance and clothes were no different from those of Ji Yue Nian before he was thrown into the Qing Luan Mountain Range.

The spiritual resurrection ghost clothing refined by using the “spiritual ashes” of the origin of the body and ghosts has the effect of supernatural transfiguration, but due to the limitation of Ji Yue Nian’s cultivation level at the early Xuan realm, the spirit-regenerating ghost clothes at this time can only fool the spirits at the early realm of reversion.

The spirit-regenerating ghost clothes, which are made from body ghost origin mixed with “spirit ash”, have a miraculous effect of illusion

“This …… this ……”

Ji Bugui touched his cheek and surveyed his entire body, his gaze was filled with disbelief.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a dull and incomparable boom that spread across the heavens and the earth, and countless beings in the eight major cities of the inner city of Tai Chu all looked up, but did not notice the slightest hint.

Only where Ji Yue Nian and Ji Bu Gui were standing, a Xuan Huang figure coalesced and appeared.

This figure is extremely illusory and blurred, with a vast and magnificent aura surging around its body, with intricate and incomparable seal patterns twisting above its robe, and its indifferent gaze looking straight at Ji Bugui.

Ji Bugui’s entire body froze in place and stammered, “Tai …… Tai Chu Land Zun ……God!”

He had never imagined that the Tai Chu Land Honoured God, who was worshipped by hundreds of thousands of beings in the Tai Chu Ancient City, would appear in front of him in this way, even though it was only an incarnation, it was still enough to shock and amaze.

The Tai Chu Land God, a ninth-ranked Heaven and Earth God, enjoys incense offerings and protects thousands of miles around the ancient city of Tai Chu.

Ji Yue Nian’s eyes were calm as he stepped forward and bowed, “I have met the Supreme God of Tai Chu Land.”

The figure gave Ji Yue Nian a faint glance, then turned his gaze back to Ji Bu Gui.  After Ji Bugui’s whole body was cold and sweaty, he closed his eyes slightly, turning into countless mysterious yellow spots and dissipated between heaven and earth.

It was only after the vast aura of divine power had completely disappeared that Ji Bugui regained his senses, his legs went limp and he fell directly to the ground.

The miraculous thing was that the aura of the Tai Chu Land God was so great, but the gates of Anyang City, which was only a hundred feet away from here, did not even notice it, and the Ji family guards were still laughing and talking about the dull noise, without even looking at this place.

“I’ve seen the God of the Land of Tai Chu, it’s unbelievable,” Ji Bugui said, who had received so many shocks today that he had become slightly numb, “Grand Duke, why is this happening? And the spell you cast on me just now, what exactly is it?”

Ji Yuenian looked at the place where the incarnation of the god of the land of Taichu dissipated, and said: “That is a divine power refined by ghost power, except for the fact that no spiritual intelligence is born, everything else is extremely similar to ghosts. There was a hint of hesitation in the gaze of this God, if he had been more cold-blooded, you would have been destroyed.”

Ji Bugui could not help but feel a pang of fear and muttered, “In the small ancestral hall of the fourth house of the Ji family, apart from worshipping the Arctic True Martial Emperor, I also worshipped the true image of the deity of the Tai Chu Land God, so I think I should not have suffered such an unwarranted disaster.”

Although he knew that it was the black light coalesced by Ji Yue Nian that had drawn out the incarnation of the Land Honoured God, he was extremely aware at this point and did not mention it at all.

“The fact that you didn’t ignite the fire of your heart is a good way to confirm the rumour that ‘Ji Yue Nian’ was deprived of his cultivation a few days ago, and to lower some people’s guard for the time being,” Ji Yue Nian looked at Ji Bugui, and there was a bit of obsidian gold in his eyes. “Ji Bugui, are you willing to help me break this game?”

The Ji Family did not have any upper realm practitioners, and even if they were a step down from the early realm, there were only two of them, the head of the family, Ji Hong, and the eldest elder, Ji Luoyan.

Whether or not he was willing to do so, Ji Bugui knelt halfway to the ground and replied in a low voice, “I am willing to die for the Grand Duke.”

Ji Bugui was gambling.

What’s more, he essentially had no choice at all.

Ji Yue Nian nodded and said, “You only have half of the Regal Ghost Clothes on you, the other half is here with me, you don’t need to say much after you return to Anyang City, just pretend to have amnesia and wait slowly.”

Ji Bugui hesitated for a moment and spoke, “The grand duke’s aura of ten thousand gold is something I’m afraid I can’t imitate. Moreover, Zhao Yanran and Zhao Sixing of the Zhao family have already seen the grand duke’s current appearance, so this matter ……”

“There is no need to worry about this matter,” Ji Yue Nian waved his hand, “these years the Zhao family and my Ji family has not been considered amicable, they will not come to Anyang Prefecture City at all. In addition, the ancient city of Tai Chu is so large, no one will purposely pay attention to these details. As for the matter of imitation,…… Regent Ghost Clothes can ensure that you do not reveal half of your flaw, you are no different from my previous appearance, no one in the Ji family will recognize it.”
