Chapter 258: Who the Hell Are You!

"It's miserable!"

Qi Zihuan walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.

He walked over to the lid of the coffin that had fallen to the ground, crouched down, and stroked the brown marks with his fingers.

"It's so miserable......" Although he said this, his voice was very flat, as if he didn't feel much.

Suddenly, he flipped his wrist, and a small wooden tower was held in his hand, and a bronze mirror with a large fingernail cover on the top of the tower emitted a faint golden light.

The golden light sprinkled on the lid of the coffin, and wherever it touched, all the marks disappeared, leaving only the still rough and uneven stone surface.

Bai Juyi was so startled that he almost jumped up, pointed to the lid of the coffin and asked, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”

No one paid attention to him, Kukai and Qi Zihuan looked at each other, and the black cat scratched his ears with his paws on the sarcophagus.

"Master Kukai, is the story that this black cat just told right?" Qi Zihuan stood up and asked with a smile.

Kukai didn't answer directly, but asked, "Why do you know illusion?" ”

"I don't understand, it's a friend of mine who knows a little bit about such tricks." Qi Zihuan moved half a step sideways and gave way to the corridor behind him.

In the darkness of Yongdao, there was still a figure standing, and as he walked into the light, Bai Juyi and Kuhai realized that it was the artist who used illusion to grow melons.

Qi Zihuan pointed to the entertainer, and said with an ambiguous smile: "Let me introduce, my friend's name is Yan Rong, who makes a living from street performers, although he doesn't earn much, but because he plays a good trick, he has also successfully broken through the heart defense of Cuihua next door to his house." Therefore, he would rush back after setting up a stall for a while every day, and he didn't even come when I invited him to eat flower wine, just because he was having a hot fight with this beautiful girl. ”

"How do you know!" Yan Rong was also taken aback.

"I don't know how to do illusions, but I can do some other tricks. Rest assured, no one will laugh at you, and it's a good thing that your suspicion in the demon cat case has been completely cleared. Qi Zihuan patted Yan Rong's shoulder to show relief.

Yan Rong's eyes rolled a few times, and he felt that there was no secret between him and Cuihua, so he was no longer entangled, and stretched out his hand to summon the black cat over.

The black cat jumped into his arms and turned into a small snow-white pom-pom.

Well, Yan Rong always thinks that only such cats are high-end.

After this period of gags, Bai Juyi, who had been sorting out his thoughts, finally turned his suspicious eyes to Kukai, and walked to Qi Zihuan's side.

Kukai regained his faint expression and asked with a smile, "Why do you suspect it's me?" ”

"I've always wondered why this black cat could disappear before I came each time after the first two escapes. Why is it so accurately timed? ”

"Perhaps, it's been watching your movements."

"Only the people around me know my whereabouts best." Qi Zihuan spread his hands, "Of course, what really makes me doubt is Abe Nakamaro's diary. He wrote this diary thinking he was going to die, but he didn't die after that, and lived for many years. ”

"Hasn't this matter already been said, because it didn't take long for Xuanzong to be forced to abdicate and no longer hold the power of life and death."

"yes, that's the problem...... Since he wasn't dead, how could he not burn this diary? Not only did he keep it for the rest of his life, but he didn't leave a word of instructions before he died, and let his widow casually give the diary to someone he had just met not long ago. Qi Zihuan pursed his lips and said slowly, "You know, the records there are all palace secrets, as long as they are accidentally passed on, many people will lose their heads, as for Abe Zhongmaro, it is estimated that the family will be exterminated." So, this diary can't be true. ”

"Well, that makes sense. But why did Mr. Abe write a fake diary? ”

"Because this diary is not his, but you wrote it. The reason why you were able to get this diary in a few words was that you gave the fake diary to Mr. Abe's widow in advance and persuaded her to cooperate with you in this play. ”

No matter what Qi Zihuan says, Kukai's smile will never change.

"But why would I do that?"

"Because, you're a demon cat." Qi Zihuan looked at Kuhai and said word by word. "Not only do you want to kill, you also have a very important purpose."

"My Poems...... Long Hate Song ......" Bai Juyi stood aside and muttered.

"Yes, in addition to killing people, you also want to change the way future generations think about that period of history. Bai Lotian is the most famous poet of the dynasty, and the long poems he worked so hard to create are likely to be passed down through the ages, and you just want to change his poems! ”

"If it's really as you said, the demon cat was changed by me, then why didn't I honestly lie to Bai Lotian to change his poems and kill people? Maybe there will be no master in Chang'an for a while and a half to catch me, but the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and there must be countless capable people in the mountains, forests and wilderness, and there will always be people who will go to Chang'an to take me down. Why did I bother to kill so many people, and even killed the emperor, causing such a big turmoil, isn't this obviously looking for death? ”

"Yes, you're looking for death." Qi Zihuan pointed to the blank coffin lid on the ground, "Just like you arranged a way for Yang Yuhuan to die, you have already arranged a way to die for yourself." ”

"Oh?"

"As long as you get rid of me, it should be easy to make a good show in front of the innocent Bai Letian. For example, when to let the so-called demon cat white dragon and Danlong meet. Oh, Danlong's image may be able to directly use this Yan Rong's appearance, anyway, Bai Juyi has also seen his melon planting tricks. Then Danlong broke the truth that Niangniang had been dead for thirty years, and made the demon cat Bailong realize that Niangniang really couldn't wake up again...... The lines were more sensational, and finally let the demon cat Bailong let go of his attachment, spit out a mouthful of blood, and just go with his mother. Qi Zihuan pointed to Bai Juyi, who could listen attentively, "Then our Bai Juyi, who was in charge of investigating the case, reported to the court that the demon cat had vomited blood and died, so the case was closed." ”

Kukai's smile finally stiffened a little at this moment, but he quickly adjusted, applauded and said, "Qi Gongzi's method is really good!" If I'm really a demon cat, I'm afraid I can't come up with such an idea at most. It's a pity ......"

"Huh?" Qi Zihuan snorted through his nose.

"It's a pity that I don't have any reason to be a demon cat." Kukai raised his eyes and smiled brightly, "Have you forgotten?" I am the new envoy to the Tang Dynasty, is a Shamen who came to study Buddhism, although I am not good at Buddhism, but after all, I am also well-known in my country, as long as I find a few Japanese people from Chang'an City to ask, you can hear my deeds of studying Buddhism with my master. Excuse me, what reason do I have to kill the emperor and try to change the history of thirty years ago? ”

Qi Zihuan was not anxious, and tried to smile brighter than Kukai, but when he laughed, he was a little cheap.

"I remember that after you arrived in Chang'an, you told the story of how many times your ship was broken in a storm and then you fell into the sea."

"That's right, I drifted for a day and a night on a plank before I got to shore, and I was rescued with a mother who was much calmer than I was to hold the baby."

"Then the first thing you went to after you came to Tang was Qinglong Temple, and you wanted to worship Master Huiguo to learn the Supreme Secret, but Qinglong Temple was unwilling to accept you. Right? ”

"Yes."

"You know what? I scattered all my family wealth and donated merit, and I inquired with all the monks in Qinglong Temple, and everyone said that there had never been a monk from the Wa Kingdom who went to the temple to seek Buddha. ”

Kukai was speechless.

"In any case, a monk of the Wa Kingdom is always very eye-catching in the Tang Dynasty, if all the monks say that there is no such thing, then there is really nothing. So, you're not the famous Kukai master at all. You may have been on the same boat as Kukai and stumbled upon his official documents when the ship was shipwrecked, so you acted as a monk who sent Tang envoy Kukai after being rescued. ”

Qi Zihuan stared at the person in front of him who had been smiling, and his voice suddenly rose.

"So, who the hell are you!"
