Chapter Ninety-Seven: Pang Juan

Mentioning this, the gloom in Juekong's expression was not concealed at all.

Seeing Juekong's expression at this moment, I didn't know how to comfort him, and I wanted to pat him on the shoulder like a friend, but I didn't know if such an act was too rude for the monks, so the outstretched hand hung in the air again, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment.

Seeing my hand hanging in the air and having nowhere to put it, Juekong naturally knew that I wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw me in such a state.

I saw that Juekong cheered up, first put my hand down without a trace, and then returned to his usual tone and said to me.

"Amitabha, the donor does not have to comfort the poor monks, the Buddhist family believes in the afterlife, talks about reincarnation, the poor monks believe that the ancestors can personally participate in such a plan that spans thousands of years, and they must be extremely proud in their hearts, but they didn't see the end of the story, so they can't help but have some regrets."

"Because of the secret help of Guiguzi's predecessors, the ancestor not only solved the crisis of Wei when he was alive, but also shocked the world with this name, which shows that the ancestor is a person with a deep fortune, even if there is really an afterlife, the ancestor is definitely not a mortal who does nothing, and he has another opportunity."

Although Juekong's words are free and easy, who in this audience can't see the sadness he forcibly hides?

It's just that although everyone here is a kind-hearted person, but they won't comfort others, since Juekong has now taken the initiative to end this matter, then we simply push the boat and try to distract Juekong from the sadness in his heart with other things.

Therefore, after hearing Juekong's words, Ling Xuan on the side spoke at the right time and changed the topic without a trace.

"Master Juekong, now that you know who we are, but we still haven't heard this story from a thousand years ago, you see, this is a little inappropriate, right?"

Although Ling Xuan's words sounded a little like he was embarrassed by Juekong on the surface, how could Juekong not hear the meaning of his attempt to change the topic, he only saw him glance at Ling Xuan with gratitude on his face, and then said politely to us.

"Amitabha, it is indeed a little inappropriate, it is a poor monk who sighed for a while, and I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing that Juekong understood his intentions, Ling Xuan also showed a tacit smile and said to Juekong in a gentle tone.

"You don't have to apologize, master, please continue this story, we really have too many doubts in our hearts."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

Juekong also smiled, and after sorting out his emotions, he continued to tell us the unfinished story.

"After seeing this token, the ancestor carefully took it, and found that on the front of the token was engraved two people who were playing next to the stone table, the stone table had nothing else, only two pots of wine, and next to the person who was playing, it was engraved with the five big characters of 'a rage and the princes are afraid'."

"The pattern on the other side is obviously much more complex than the previous one, with a man sitting on a two-wheeled cart pulled by a lion and tiger, followed by two men on horseback, one of whom is dressed like a military attaché, holding aloft a flag with the word Guigu written on it, and five large characters are also engraved next to the flag, which is 'Rest in peace'."

Speaking of this, Juekong looked at me, although he didn't say anything, but his eyebrows were full of unpredictable deep meaning.

"Although the ancestor and the predecessor of Guiguzi are not people of the same era, but because the predecessor of Guiguzi is really famous, the ancestor has naturally heard a lot of legends about him, and of course he has long known the existence of this Guigu Order."

"So after seeing the specific appearance of this token, the ancestor was suddenly shocked, and once again carefully examined it, and finally found that this token is made of special materials, not gold or silver but flashing with a strange light, and it is obvious that the power contained in it is circulating, it is by no means an imitation, but a real Guigu Order."

"But even so, the ancestor still couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the legendary Guiguzi who could penetrate the heavens and the earth, and he carefully returned the Guigu Order to the person in front of him, but his expression was obviously still full of suspicion."

Seeing the reaction of the ancestors, Guiguzi did not show any dissatisfaction, but spoke softly, seemingly plainly, and said many secret things that only the Wei royal family could know.

"The ancestor was shocked when he heard this, because these things are hidden by the royal family, so they have always been passed on by word of mouth in the royal family, and there is no written transmission, so the ancestor hurriedly asked, how did this person know about these secret things."

At this point in the story, we still don't get into the main topic, but none of us opened our mouths to urge, but listened very carefully, trying to find some clues in this story that were not noticed.

After hearing the ancestor's question, this person smiled slightly, and only said two words in his mouth.

Seeing our attitude, Juekong's tone changed, and he seemed to be trying to imitate the appearance of the legendary Guiguzi, and said slowly to us.

"Pang Juan."

This name is naturally familiar to us.

Legend has it that Pang Juan is a disciple of Guiguzi, and he is also a famous general of Wei in the early Warring States period, according to legend, he and Sun Bin worship under Guiguzi, and the brothers should love each other, but he was jealous of Sun Bin's talent, so he designed to scrape off Sun Bin's kneecap.

In the twenty-eighth year of King Hui of Wei, Wei attacked Korea, and in the second year, Qi used Sun Bin's strategy to rescue Korea, and the soldiers and horses directly forced to Daliang City, the capital of Wei, and then quickly chose to retreat.

Pang Juan didn't know what the plan was, so he decided to pursue, and finally suffered a big defeat in the horse tomb, and sighed that he killed himself after becoming famous, and a generation of famous generals came to an end.

But even if we know Pang Juan's life very well, we can't understand his significance in this story at all.

It can be calculated very simply, Pang Juan and Xinlingjun are also not people of the same era, if it is according to historical records, Pang Juan in the period of Xinlingjun is no longer alive, but killed himself in Ma Ling, which has become the background board in Sun Bin's story.

In that case, what does Pang Juan have to do with this matter?

Just as we were in doubt, Juekong slowly spoke, turning our attention back to him again.

"The doubts of the benefactors are clear in the hearts of the poor monks, in fact, the ancestors are also full of puzzles about this matter, and the ancestors can't understand at all, since they are not people of the same era, why they are involved in this matter."

After seeing the ancestors' doubts, Guiguzi smiled slightly, and said amazingly, he told the ancestors that in fact, Pang Juan did not kill himself in Ma Ling, it was just an illusion left for the world to see.
