Bai Juyi and Monk Kukai were originally listening to Qi Zihuan talk about the royal cat, but when he talked about the brocade mouse from a black-faced man with a crescent moon on his forehead, it was obvious that he was deliberately telling some strange stories.

Bai Juyi was originally disturbed by the demon cat's words, but now that he was disturbed by Qi Zihuan, he didn't seem to be so entangled, but was rubbing his forehead and thinking about how to politely and resolutely interrupt Qi Zihuan, who was talking.

"Tip, hehe, all tip!"

Chen Yunqiao, who was unconscious, woke up, sat up and began to say crazy things again.

The third generation of Chen Yunqiao's family, Jin Wuwei, as a qualified gentleman, has also done a lot of oppressive and good things on weekdays, greedy and lawless, so after the news that he had madness, except for a few people who were interested in him, most of them just spit on the ground and said the word "should" viciously.

Chen Yunqiao saw that several figures in front of him ignored him, reached into his arms, and with an empty hand, he seemed to have grabbed a large handful of copper coins, and then waved it into the sky.

"Rewarded! You all have. ”

After speaking, he stood up, looked around proudly, and turned his head away.

was interrupted like this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, as for Qi Zihuan's three heroes and five righteousness, of course, they couldn't talk about it.

"Brother Qi, how did you know we were here?" Bai Juyi finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Qi Zihuan couldn't say that he had hidden two small paper figures in Chen's Mansion a long time ago, and once he found a strange movement, he could receive information as soon as possible, so he had to pretend to be mysterious and said: "I happened to be passing by, and by the way, I came in to see the situation of Lord Chen." Who knew that the demon cat happened to come, but it was still a little late. ”

"Qi Gongzi is a person with great ability." Kukai said softly.

Qi Zihuan snorted, and said in a righteous manner: "I said before, I am not good at learning, I like all kinds of miscellaneous studies since I was a child, and I learned some small methods from a Taoist priest when I was a child, but it is useless on weekdays, and now the demon cat harms people, I really want to eliminate harm for the people." Master Kukai, what about you? ”

"Actually, I'm a fake."

The smile on Kukai's lips is meaningful.

"Huh?" Bai Juyi was taken aback, "You're not a monk?" ”

"I'm just a little shamen, the really powerful demon slayer is my master, but he has passed away, in order to fulfill his dying wish, I came to Datang for him to learn the supreme secret." Kukai spread his hands and looked calm, "So I don't actually have any skills, not only can I not kill demons, but even Master Huiguo of Qinglong Temple doesn't want to see me." ”

"Then why did you accept my recommendation to take on the responsibility of investigating the case?"

"Because I was also very curious, I began to be curious about what the cat demon wanted to do, and then I was curious about the story that the cat demon told thirty years ago, what is the truth?"

This is said to Bai Juyi's heart.

In order to write a song of long-term hatred, he used to be sleepless at night, so he begged for a sentence, or even a word. It can be said that he has completely substituted himself into the feast and love thirty years ago.

Now, a cat told him that these were fakes.

Let him be willing.

"! Cleanly removing the demon cat is the point. ”

Hearing Qi Zihuan's simple contempt, Kukai frowned.

"Doesn't Qi Gongzi think that if he can restore a piece of historical truth, it is also a very meaningful thing?"

Qi Zihuan squinted at him, his face showing disdain.

Wa Kingdom, restore the historical truth?

Why don't you restore yourself? Maybe it turns out that it's all Smecta's......

"History, there is never an absolute truth, when you look at all the records of the same person and the same thing in history, what you get is only a Rashomon."

"What is Rashomon?" Kukai wondered.

"When you know what Rashomon is, you will find your supreme secret."

Qi Zihuan has broken through the Demon Realm a lot, and his ability to pretend to be a god and play with mysteries is no worse than those Taoist monks.

Seeing Kukai, who had always been mysterious, frowning and pondering, he only felt extremely comfortable.

Bai Juyi saw that the two of them were a little angry, and said in a round: "There is no need to fight anymore, both of them are masters who can see through illusions to me, whether it is to find the truth or get rid of demons, we have to discuss, what should we do next?" ”

……

In the end, the three people with different identities and different purposes reached an agreement and formed a temporary team to first find out what happened thirty years ago according to the hints of the demon cat, and then lure the demon cat to get rid of it.

The most controversial story about Yang Yuhuan is the truth about her death.

The official history says that Tang Xuanzong was forced by the pressure of the mutiny, and gave Bai Aya, and the great eunuch Gao Lishi strangled her in the Buddhist hall.

And then there are many other theories.

Du Fu, Du Mu, and Wen Tingyun all have poems that imply that Yang Guifei died in the chaos.

Liu Yuxi said that she swallowed gold and died.

Wa Chinese ...... said that she fled for her life to the Wa Kingdom, and her bloodline was passed down to later generations, and there was a star named Yamaguchi Baihui.

In line with the principle of grasping the key points first and investigating the cause of death, several people, under the guidance of Bai Juyi, found a palace maid who was also in Ma Weiyi thirty years ago.

Qi Zihuan secretly walked at the back of the team.

He was fully prepared this time, and since he approached the small courtyard where the palace maid lived, he turned on the Solar Treasure Mirror and sprinkled the little paper figures along the way. This is so that when the demon cat who is ready to take revenge comes to the palace maid for revenge, he can use these little paper figures to block it for a while.

It only takes a moment, and with his current strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to split the demon cat with one sword.

But the ideal is always plump, and the reality is often skinny.

The courtyard door was open, Bai Juyi shouted loudly, and after waiting for a while and no one answered, the three of them walked in.

The windows in the house are closed so that no sunlight enters.

In the dark corner was a loom, and a white-haired old man was sitting in front of it with his back to the door.

Motionless.

Never again.

The corners of Qi Zihuan's eyes twitched.

He saw that the spinning threads on the loom passed through the beams and window lattices, and then stretched out from all angles like cobwebs, and wrapped around the neck of the old palace maid.

The balance of tension on all sides fixed her in the current sitting and standing position.

Bai Juyi talked to her, and after saying a few words, he raised his voice a few points.

It seems to be behind the ears of the elderly......

Monk Kukai also occasionally chimed in.

Qi Zihuan followed the two of them to the front and saw her bulging eyes and purple complexion.

There are stains at the corners of the mouth, and the marks extend all the way to the clothes on the body.

It should be the foam of white that flowed when struggling before death.

Bai Juyi sometimes listened, sometimes asked, and finally thanked and bowed loudly.

Monk Kukai also folded his hands and bowed his head slightly.

The three of them took their leave and walked out of the gloomy room.

Bai Juyi sighed in a low voice.

"The concubine is really dead, even the white silk was sewn by this grandmother herself."

Qi Zihuan felt that the sun was dazzling and squinted.

"It's really dead."
