Chapter 1236 The Confucius Family Courtyard
I can understand Xia Mengying's eyes.
In addition to confusion, there was fear in her eyes.
Xia Mengying is not afraid of death, she is afraid that her faith will collapse at some point.
I said to Xia Mengying, "Leave it to me!" and then turned to Pei Haohong: "Master Pei, since this is a misunderstanding between us, let's let it go! See you later!"
"Let's go!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I turned around and walked out without even looking back.
Butcher Wang sent a message from behind: "You don't want to ask anymore? We haven't gotten what we want yet!"
"This man cannot be trusted!"
I responded: "When do you think Shanglin Community started to be renovated? It should have been more than ten years ago, right?"
"Since Pei Haohong went crazy and wanted to return to Confucianism, after he got the soul-gathering coffin, why didn't he take the coffin to Banxian Manor? Or, simply take the coffin to find other Confucian scholars to seek justice?"
"Confucian people may be stubborn, but they are not unreasonable."
"Back then, Pei Yu stole the soul-gathering coffin, and someone else died in the coffin."
"With such a big doubt, wouldn't the Confucian people be suspicious?"
"Why does Pei Haohong have to use the Soul Gathering Coffin to create a forbidden area for ghosts and gods here?"
"He said he wanted to find a successor and clear the grievances of the Pei family. Why didn't he fulfill the Pei family's long-cherished wish during his lifetime? This explanation doesn't make sense!"
I paused and said, "Also, how far is Shanglin Community from Banxianzhuang?"
"Only an hour's drive."
"When Banxianzhuang launched a large-scale hunt for Pei Yu, would he leave Shanglin Community alone?"
"This doesn't make sense either."
I quickly raised the third doubt: "Another point is that he claimed that when he sneaked into Banxian Village, he was incorporated into the battle group."
"What does he use to deal with the evil demon?"
"talisman? Formation? Or martial arts and hidden weapons?"
"Do Confucian people know these things?"
"As soon as he takes action, his identity will be exposed."
"If we say that he has been fishing in troubled waters in Banxianzhuang for a year without being discovered, then there is no explanation, unless everyone in Banxianzhuang is blind."
Butcher Wang whispered: "Then why didn't you take him down just now?"
I shook my head and said, "With so many of us joining forces, we may not be able to defeat each other."
"However, this Shanglin community is his home field, and we have to pay a high price to capture him. Besides, I suspect that Pei Haohong is just a pawn, and capturing him is of little significance."
"If the other party targets us, he will definitely show up again."
As I was speaking, I clearly felt someone approaching us, but the other person suddenly disappeared without a trace because of Lin Zhao, who was rushing back.
I looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Why are you running? Is there a ghost chasing you?"
Lin Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "When the ghost and god left just now, he sent me a message and asked me to tell you that soul-gathering coffins frequently appear in the Kong family compound not far away."
I wondered: "What do you mean?"
Lin Zhao spread his hands and said, "I don't know what it means? That's what he told me."
If Shang Xingyan doesn't tell me something, should he tell her?
What Shang Xingyan means: Pei Haohong ran out with the soul-gathering coffin on his back and brought the ghosts and gods back to Shanglin Community from the Kong family villa?
Or is it that Shang Xingyan’s words were originally intended for others to hear?
Butcher Wang said with understanding: "Back then, the Pei family used Lao Shang's arch to suppress the soul-gathering coffin. The coffin was stained with Lao Shang's aura, and he could feel where the coffin was."
"Lao Shang doesn't seem to care about his memorial arch, but in fact, he cares about it more than anyone else."
"If he didn't come back every now and then to take a look, how could an archway alone be able to contain the magic weapon left by Taoist Jiu Coffin?"
I pondered: "That makes sense! Let's go to the Kong family villa and have a look. Lin Zhao, can you check for me what is going on in the Kong family compound?"
While I was talking, people were already in the car.
After Xia Mengying sat down, she asked: "Li Po, why didn't you ask about the Soul Gathering Coffin just now?"
I replied helplessly: "The soul-gathering coffin wandering around the world is actually the same as the demon-suppressing tablet we got back then. It has long since become an ownerless thing, and whoever gets it counts as his."
"When I took the Demon Suppressing Monument, Banxianzhuang didn't come to ask for it. I went to see Old Man Pei to ask for the Soul Gathering Coffin. Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"We still have to show some respect for this matter!"
My words are half-truths and half-falsehoods.
According to the rules of the world, I really have no right to ask for the Soul Gathering Coffin, but I can negotiate with the other party to buy it back.
I didn't say a word about the Soul Gathering Coffin, I just waited for the other party to speak on his own so as to see what his purpose was.
Pei Haohong himself didn't speak, so I could only find a way to force him to speak.
After a while, Lin Zhao said: "Little Chengzi has been found."
"The Confucius compound is the most famous haunted house within a few hundred miles. Even developers dare not touch it."
