Pei Haohong was immediately frightened and stood up: "What do you mean, you don't understand?"

Shang Xingyan looked at the other party coldly and said, "Pei Haohong, do you think I am a fool?"

As soon as Shang Xingyan said these words, Pei Haohong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "The adults are aware of this, and the villain's words are true!"

Shang Xingyan slowly walked up to the other party and asked condescendingly: "You said Xia Chuan was your secret son, and you said you wanted to turn Xia Mengying into a traitor to Confucianism."

"Don't you think what you said is contradictory?"

"Since you can control Xia Chuan, you can control the Xia family. There is more than one great scholar in the Xia family in the Forest of Steles. Which of them can't do some tricks?"

"Are you deliberately delaying my time?"

"No, no, no...it's not..." Pei Haohong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare."

"It was actually Xia Chuan's idea to label Xia Mengying as a traitor to Confucianism!"

Pei Haohong explained: "Since the head of the family left Banxian Village with the Soul Gathering Coffin, in order to avoid similar things from happening, Banxian Village has set a rule: Confucian scholars and above can only move outside the Forest of Steles and cannot enter.

Forest of Steles.”

"If you must enter the Forest of Steles, three people must be present."

"Xia Chuan has reached the realm of great Confucianism. It is impossible for him to enter the Forest of Steles alone."

"Xia Mengying is the most likely person to enter the Forest of Steles. Especially when something unexpected happens in Banxian Village and someone is urgently needed to enter the Forest of Steles to suppress the demon, Xia Mengying can easily enter the Forest of Steles."

Shang Xingyan sneered again: "Pei Haohong, are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? Or are you pretending to be crazy with me?"

Pei Haohong was really anxious and said at a loss: "Master Shang, why did you say this? I really don't dare to deceive you!"

Shang Xingyan asked: "How many children are there in the Xia family?"

"How many of them can become talents? How many of them can become scholars? How many of them can be successful candidates? How many of them can become Jinshi? How many can become bachelors?"

"Is it possible that only Xia Mengying in the Xia family can enter Beilin Academy?"

"This... this..." Pei Haohong said "this" for a long time without saying anything!

Shang Xingyan said coldly: "Whose idea was it to gather ghosts and gods in Shanglin Community?"

"You can think about it for me first!"

Pei Haohong trembled all over and said, "It was Xia Chuan's idea too! He said: You must be prepared on both sides. Once you cannot trigger a crisis in Banxian Village, you can start from the outside and use ghosts and gods to lure out the masters of Banxian Village."

"Once the Confucian scholars of Banxianzhuang move out in large numbers, he can take the opportunity to enter the Forest of Steles. In this way, he himself may trigger a crisis in the Forest of Steles."

"I thought his words were beneficial, so I started to arrange the Shanglin Community."

"That's it!" Shang Xingyan nodded and said, "Then I ask you, why did you bring the Soul Gathering Coffin to the Confucius Family Courtyard?"

Pei Haohong whispered: "To lure ghosts and gods!"

"The ancestor once studied the soul-gathering coffin. He discovered that the soul-gathering coffin can not only gather scattered souls, but also attract ghosts and gods to actively enter the coffin."

"The soul that enters the Soul Gathering Coffin is like a tamed beast. After a period of time, it will become loyal to its master."

"The reason why those ghosts and gods that I arranged in Shanglin Community obey my orders is because of the Soul Gathering Coffin."

Shang Xingyan said sternly: "How can you let the ghosts and gods in the coffin be used by you?"

Pei Haohong gestured: "On the Soul Gathering Coffin, probably above the head of the coffin, there is a groove that can just fit a jade bowl."

"Just fill the jade bowl with blood after the ghosts and gods enter the coffin."

"I just need to wait for the blood in the bowl to dry up naturally before opening the coffin, and the ghosts and gods inside will obey my orders."

"However, those ghosts and gods also need to be fed."

Shang Xingyan said with a half-smile: "How long does it take for the blood to dry once you drop the blood? Also, how much financial resources does your Pei family have to feed the ghosts and gods?"

Shang Xingyan's ridicule is not unreasonable. It is not uncommon for warlocks to raise ghosts and spirits, but there are very few who can make offerings to ghosts and gods.

To raise ghosts and spirits, all you need is three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, and some melons and fruits of suitable age as tribute. The expenditure is not large. Even if you are raising evil spirits, you will only need the blood of some chickens, ducks, or domestic animals at most, which is also the case for ordinary warlocks.

Within the acceptable range.

However, raising ghosts and gods is different. The requirements of ghosts and gods are often not a burden that ordinary warlocks can bear. Moreover, some ghosts and gods need to be fed with human blood or even essence, which is even more difficult for ordinary warlocks to bear.

Pei Haohong said: "The time to control ghosts and gods depends on the strength of the ghosts and gods themselves. Sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes it takes a month. This time, I sent the coffin, and it has been three months since the blood has dried up. I'm afraid it will

The ghosts and gods inside are not weak."

"As for the expenses for raising ghosts and gods, they are all provided by Xia Chuan."

"As expected!" Shang Xingyan asked again: "What other plans does Xia Chuan have?"

Pei Haohong said: "According to Xia Chuan's original plan, when he sends Xia Mengying, I will capture them all in Shanglin Community, and then make Xia Mengying a rebel Confucian in the shortest possible time."
