Duke Pei sighed.

He always sighs.

In fact, many times he just pretended to behave, but at this moment, all his worries seemed to surge on his face with this sigh.

He looked down at the weeds at his feet and said, "What do you know? Tell me first."

Gu Liubai said, "Those who hide in the Zheng private army are the old soldiers who survived in the white grass."

He looked at Duke Pei's expression at this time and knew that there must be a great secret inside. He was not in a hurry and repeated the matters about Bai Caoyuan that he said, as well as his inferences.

"It turns out that so many people survived in that city." Duke Pei sighed, "It turns out that there is such a design waiting for me here."

Gu Liubai's mood suddenly became heavier.

It is obvious that Duke Pei knew about this.

On the way he came, he kept thinking what he should do if Duke Pei really participated in the Baicaoyuan incident and indeed regarded the entire city as a victim for his own interests.

He should ask Duke Pei to give Zhang Shengnian what kind of explanation to others.

If he had changed to any other senior official in the court, he would never have such a psychological burden. However, Duke Pei was the father of Pei Yunqi and Pei Yunhua.

"Don't worry, it's not as good as you think." Duke Pei glanced at Gu Liubai, suddenly laughed, and said, "It won't make you destroy your relatives for justice, and it will be difficult for you to face my two precious daughters at that time. People like us who rely on military merits will not do that kind of thing."

Gu Liubai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What the hell is that?"

Duke Pei looked at Gu Liubai deeply and said, "What I can tell you is that Bai Caoyuan's thing is not to defeat King Jing. On the contrary, it was King Jing who wanted to make someone in Bai Caoyuan..."

Speaking of this, he paused.

He seemed to be weighing how to speak.

After a while, he looked at Gu Liubai and said, "Anyway, King Jing wanted to deal with and use a powerful figure who was in Baicaoyuan, so he made this happen, so that our Tang Dynasty lost Baicaoyuan and a large amount of land."

Gu Liubai raised his eyebrows slightly, and he looked at Duke Pei's eyebrows seriously, "A certain powerful person... can't this person's name be said?"

"It's not easy to say."

Duke Pei sighed and said, "It was best not to mention such things, but if you want to give Zhang Shengnian an explanation, I also want to give them an explanation, so I can only tell you that there was a powerful person in Baicaoyuan at that time, but what did he say, his own situation was a bit bad. Or maybe the person's own situation was not good, it was also caused by King Jing and some people who wanted to deal with him. Anyway, King Jing wanted to deal with this person in Baicaoyuan."

Gu Liubai looked at Duke Pei helplessly.

Duke Pei is an old fox recognized by Chang'an.

A military general who becomes a Duke by relying on military achievements often makes people forget his iron blood and military achievements, but only makes people remember his sleekness and wisdom. It is easy to imagine what level of such a character is when he speaks. However, at this time, the word "Duke Pei" was very difficult to say, and each sentence was very vague, and it felt like the words were not fulfilled.

Gu Liubai pondered the true meaning of every sentence one by one, "There is a powerful person in Baicaoyuan? An ordinary powerful person, there is no need for King Jing to deal with it with such a big battle. Is this person a big obstacle to his sitting on the dragon throne?"

Duke Pei smiled bitterly, "Son-in-law, you are good at everything, but you are too smart. If you ask this, you might be asked everything once I answer."

"If you don't ask, you don't know anything, and it's impossible to explain it to others." Gu Liubai looked at Duke Pei and said, "Master Taishan, you really think I'm my own family, so you answered, if you really can't tell some secrets, even if I guessed it, I'll let it rot in my stomach, but if I can't figure out the whole story, I can't explain it to others."

"Too."

Duke Pei laughed at himself and said, "Others don't worry, can I still worry about you and my daughter?"

Gu Liubai nodded calmly and said nothing.

Prince Pei pondered, "Although I am not the roundworm in King Jing's belly, I think there are roughly three reasons for him to deal with that person back then. First, he thinks that person is close to the current emperor, second, this person may notice some of his designs, such as setting up a magic circle to draw the luck of the real dragon, and third, he can get a lot of support from this person."

Gu Liubai glanced at him and said, "This person should not be my mother?"

Duke Pei smiled bitterly, "You asked one by one, then what's the difference between this and what I confessed to you?"

Gu Liubai immediately affirmed, "That's Master Xuanqing."

Duke Pei's face froze and he was speechless for a moment.

Gu Liubai was also helpless when he looked at Duke Pei's appearance, "Master Taishan is all smart people, so you don't have to be so tired when speaking. You must also know that my mother and the emperor. Master Xuanqing set up a curtain ritual. The Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty are serving this curtain ritual. I don't care whether this curtain ritual was created before this or after this matter. But after so many years, I think that it is worthy of King Jing and many forces to pay so much, only my mother and Master Xuanqing. If it is not my mother, then it must be Master Xuanqing."

"Damn it." Duke Pei sighed with some depression and said softly helplessly, "It is indeed a waste of effort to play a puzzle with someone as smart as you."

"So when Master Xuanqing fell into Baicaoyuan, his condition was a little bad?" Gu Liubai looked at Duke Pei and said seriously, "Why is it that bad? Is it hurt by someone or is there something wrong with his own practice?"

When Duke Pei heard this, he became even more confused. He felt that when he answered this question, it was probably no different from being open to the point.

But even after he was so entangled, Gu Liubai no longer needed him to answer. Gu Liubai frowned and said, "It seems that he had a problem with his own practice and was obsessed with it."

Duke Pei smiled helplessly, "Damn it, are you an old fox or I an old fox."

Gu Liubai felt proud and thought to himself that I was not a damn person, but your daughter's one. But when he thought of Master Xuanqing, his mood suddenly became heavy again and said, "I met the deviled Venerable Nilian at Famen Temple."

Duke Pei was also curious and said, "What happened to Famen Temple? Why did that old boy Shengying suddenly become your person?"

Gu Liubai then told all the things that happened in Famen Temple, how he encountered Qilian Canglan and Meiyu again.

After hearing this, Duke Pei laughed angry again, "Son-in-law, you are not struggling to speak while standing. If you praise me, I will hurt you if you wipe your butt. How many people are there under Sheng Ying? I want to clean up their charges. This is much more difficult than having two daughters like Yun Qi."

"It's difficult, you should be able to do it anyway." Gu Liubai glanced at Duke Pei and said, "I intuitively feel that the method of the Buddha Sect focuses on cultivating the mind, but fighting with yourself sometimes it is inevitable to encounter some mental disorders, so Master Xuanqing almost became a demon at that time?"

There was no way for Pei Guogong to have such a smart son-in-law, so he could only sigh and said, "You guessed it right. What those people wanted at that time were not Baicaoyuan, but Xuanqing who was almost possessed by the devil."

After pausing, he calmed down, looked at Gu Liubai, and said, "Since you have experienced such a thing at Famen Temple, you should probably understand what kind of consequences it would lead to if Xuan Qing became a demon."

Gu Liubai took a deep breath and nodded. Before he answered, Duke Pei had already given the answer, "This is not just a difficult disaster to control, but it will completely destroy the reputation of the Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty. The Buddhist sect of the Western Regions will take the opportunity to start a dispute over the orthodox Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist sect of the Middle Land is likely to no longer exist."

Gu Liubai looked at him and said, "So King Jing wants to make Master Xuanqing into a devil?"

Pei Guogong said seriously, "Master Xuanqing was in seclusion in Baicaoyuan at that time. Although we had no way of knowing his true situation, my old subordinates who were in Baicaoyuan at that time were sure that if those people had broken Baicaoyuan and deliberately used methods, Master Xuanqing would probably really be deviled. So what they guarded was not the city of Baicaoyuan, but the reputation of Master Xuanqing and the Middle Earth Buddha Sect. Even if they knew that this city would be broken, they would not break through because they had to let Master Xuanqing through the most difficult stage. They knew very well that Master Xuanqing was much more important to the Tang Dynasty than that city than many soldiers in that city."

Duke Pei slowly turned around and looked in the direction of Chang'an. He said with a solemn expression, "I don't know how you can give Zhang Shengnian an explanation, but I can tell you that those generals who were my subordinates finally abandoned the city and sent Master Xuanqing out, but none of them came back alive. Some of them died in battle to lure away the enemy, and some of them were just because they saw Master Xuanqing's appearance when he was in a devil, for fear of revealing their secrets, so they finally chose to end their lives. They were not like Zhang Shengnian because of their own interests, and their so-called conspiracy was just to prevent Master Xuanqing from becoming possessed by the Tang Dynasty."

...

The morning in Fengyifang is a bit gloomy even in summer.

Compared with previous years, the fierce business in Fengyifang was better.

First, the coffins sold by Zhou Lu'er were stronger and cheaper than before. Second, after the newly opened shop, many corpses that were terrifying and were not easy to see were also sent over.

The ordinary people in the streets and alleys of Chang'an did not know that this evil store was run by the Buddhist sons. Even if they knew, they would not believe that the Buddhist sons of the Tang Dynasty would do such things in person.

But they were at least sure that a large amount of wood in this vicious house was taken from the temple, and before the vicious house was tidied up and buried, monks in Chang'an temple would recite scriptures and salvation.

The body of an old man with skin and bones with many scars on his body was immediately sent into Zhou Lu'er's fierce treasury after the door opened.

The old man is called Song Zhujin.

He is the native of Changshoufang next to Fengyifang.

In his early years, he did business in West City and had a son and two daughters.

He was hanged.

His eyes were wide open and his tongue was long.

He was hanged at the gate of the new house where his son was about to move into in the middle of the night.

Raising a child to prevent old age is given to his son, but his son is unfilial.

After his two daughters got married, his son and daughter-in-law demolished the old house and built a new house, and then only placed him in a wet courtyard, without even providing him with any meals.

When the new house was completed, Song Zhuanjin was told that there was no room for him in the new house.

Ordinary people may sue the officials and ask the officials to punish themselves as an unfilial son. However, Song Zongjin, who has a strong personality, chose the most tragic way of protesting and punishing.

He hanged himself to the entrance of the yard where his son was about to move into.

His bulging eyes seemed to contain endless anger, but his hideous face had an indescribable pleasure.

None of the people who sent him to the fierce one dared to look him in the face.

Zhou Lu'er will often send him the last journey by someone who dies like this.

Zhou Lu'er didn't think he was terrifying.

When he started to sort out Song Chuanjin's remains with the old lama taught him, he was like chatting with ordinary neighbors, without any abnormal emotions.

"It's good to be happy, but your muscles are quite tough, so it's not worth it to take care of yourself."

"It's because you didn't teach him well. You're old and can't beat him anymore. Then you can ask for someone who can beat them. But you may not know where to find someone who can teach them a lesson. Don't worry, there will definitely be fewer such things in the future. I will tell He Haixin and the others. In the future, let them send people to each party to talk about it. If there are such unfilial things at that time, you don't have to keep it yourself. Brother Fifteen hangs them on the door and asks you to whip them with a whip."

"You just need to collect your tongue and scare them both to get sick. The matter in that room is probably spread. Even if they want to sell it, the room will not be sold. Don't spit out such a long tongue and scare people. Are there still many kind people in the neighborhood? Don't scare the entire neighborhood neighbor."

Zhou Lu'er chatted with Song Chunjin intimately while tidying up his remains. Gradually, Song Chunjin's appearance became less fierce. However, unlike usual, Song Chunjin suddenly had some abnormal movements and wanted to sit up as if he had changed his corpse.

Zhou Lu'er frowned and said, "Your own business is over, don't be involved in other people's affairs."

He used the old Lama teaching method to knock Song Chuanjin's forehead a few times, and then silently recited a few sutras.

Actually, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Anyway, the old lama teaches him how he will read it.

A faint green light dissipated behind Song Chujin's head, and when it collided with Zhou Lu'er's aura, it disappeared instantly.

Zhou Lu'er didn't think much about it. After he packed up Song Zhujin, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
