Chen Yunqiao is crazy.

This is the news that came out two days later.

Many people have more or less heard that there is a demon cat in Chang'an City now, and under the encirclement and suppression of a team of Jin Wuwei, several people have been injured, and even Chen Yunqiao, the leader of Jin Wuwei, has been forced to die.

And in the depths of the palace, there are still a very few people who know that this demon cat is deeply involved in the death of the former emperor, and some people even suspect that the former prince and the current emperor suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed by this demon cat.

But royal affairs are always not allowed to be publicized, so so far there is only one great poet with a foreign monk on the surface to investigate the demon cat case, as for how many undercurrents are surging in private, it is unknown.

The only thing that can be seen is that the monks of Qinglong Temple and the Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple appear more often on the streets.

……

Bai Juyi is also a little crazy.

Monk Kukai wanted to know the story behind Li Bai's poem, so Bai Juyi secretly took him to sneak into the Son of Heaven Library, despite the fact that he was no longer the six-rank living room who recorded the emperor's daily actions.

There are manuscripts written by Julang over the years, which are also the most important basis for future history.

Bai Juyi stepped on the sliding ladder, quite familiarly found the record of Tianbao's fifteenth year in the book full of walls, and then danced to Kukai to tell the scene of Li Bai's poems back then.

It was in the spring of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, before the Anshi Rebellion occurred, and the Tang Dynasty reached its peak under the rule of Xuanzong.

Xuanzong's harem has three thousand beauties, but he puts all the three thousand favors on Yang Guifei alone.

On her birthday, Xuanzong held a birthday banquet for her in the Calyx Xianghui Building, poured 7,000 catties of wine into the Taiye Pool, and planted 100,000 peonies outside the building.

This extravagant banquet is called the Feast of Bliss.

During the banquet, Xuanzong ordered the poet Li Bai to write a poem for the concubine. Li Bai, who has been proud of his talents all his life, would rather write about the common people than the powerful after seeing Yang Yuhuan's true appearance, wrote the world-famous "Qingping Tune", and the first sentence is that Yun Xiang clothes and flowers want to look......

"Xuanzong dotes on Yang Yuhuan, and he is even willing to exchange a prosperous life for this woman he loves the most......" Bai Juyi waved his arms and walked around, looking like crazy, "How many times have I dreamed back at midnight, I fantasized that I lived in Xuanzong's era, and I also walked into the Calyx Xianghui Building, and I also saw her ......"

The voice is getting lower and lower, and the former living room of this poet whose reputation is not inferior to Li Bai is holding on to the bookshelf, looking ahead with his eyes but no focus, he is actually stupid.

"How many poems has Li Bai written in his life?" Kukai asked.

Bai Juyi came back to his soul and said slowly: "Li Bai is a poet immortal, and he has written too many poems to count. ”

"The black cat sang under the guise of Chunqin, why is this "Qingping Tune"?"

Bai Juyi just blindly swam in the feast of bliss that he imagined, and he didn't consider the problem from this perspective at all, so he could only ask in a daze: "Why?" ”

"Because it was deliberately said to others." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Kukai's mouth, looking at Bai Juyi.

"To whom?"

"You, Bai Juyi, Bai Lotian."

"Me?" Bai Juyi was still confused.

"Yes, it must know that you are writing a long poem to praise the love between Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan. For this, it has something to say to you. ”

"Say what?"

"I don't know, so we're going to talk to it."

"Where can I talk to it?"

"That's not the point, it's a demon cat, and since it has something to say to you, it will naturally find you. The only thing to note is that we have to leave the guy named Qi Zihuan behind lately. ”

"Why is that?"

"That man has unpredictable skills, but he doesn't seem to have any interest in finding out the truth, he just wants to get rid of demons."

The book in Bai Juyi's hand was rolled into a column, and he pointed at Kuhai in the air, and said, "But you are the most famous demon slayer." ”

"But I have another identity, I am the new envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and my mission is to learn more about the Tang Dynasty, understand all aspects of your here, learn its essence and then bring it back to China to spread."

"So you are more interested in the historical truth of thirty years ago, and it is precisely because of this that after Chen Yunqiao's family is in trouble, you said that you will go with me to meet the adults of various departments in the next few days, and specially branch Qi Zihuan?"

"Yes, I think if that person had been there, the demon cat would probably not have dared to show up, and we wouldn't have been able to know the secret it was trying to tell you." Monk Kukai smiled and nodded, looking as a matter of course.

Bai Juyi smoothed the book in his hand and put it back in its place, before turning his head and asking, "In other words, I took you to sneak into the Son of Heaven Library, and even showed you the records of that year, but you still don't believe the records on it?" ”

"You are also a living man, and you naturally know that what is recorded is not necessarily true."

Bai Juyi was speechless, he was dismissed from office because he refused to record the bizarre death of Emperor Dezong lightly.

After a while, he stared at the monk and said word by word: "Kukai, you have a middle technique." ”

"Why do you say that?" Kukai was not surprised.

"You ignore the evidence in front of you, and you have to listen to the words of the demon cat, what is this not a Chinese technique?"

"Illusion is not a source of water, a tree without roots, to use illusion to influence others, it must be based on the recipient has some kind of real emotion, illusion is just to amplify it, so there must be truth in illusion." Kukai clasped his palms together and said seriously, "On the other hand, many things that seem to be true are sometimes just man-made illusions. ”

Bai Juyi opened his mouth to refute, but he opened and closed several times, and finally just muttered.

"What exactly is illusion?"

……

"What exactly is illusion?"

Qi Zihuan sat under the willow tree at the head of a bridge in Xishi, looked at the entertainers who were cleaning up the bamboo frame, and asked with a smile.

The entertainer glanced at him and replied as politely as possible: "The illusion is what you just saw, it looks like a shelf full of watermelons, but the melons are not actually melons." ”

"So, selling an artist doesn't have to be an artist?" Qi Zihuan's words were a bit unreasonable.

"Hahaha." The entertainer first smiled heartily, then patted his stomach and said, "I also hope that I am not such a hawker who can't make a few odd and medium fortunes every day, but unfortunately, my often rumbling stomach always reminds me that I am still it." ”

"I invited you to a banquet that night, but you didn't go."

"I thought about it later, I didn't even have clean clothes, and I could only embarrass my son if I went...... So I decided not to go. ”

Qi Zihuan grabbed the topic unrelentingly and said, "Aren't you good at illusion, just conjure up a piece of clothing." ”

"My illusion is not as powerful as Childe thought, even if I conjure up a dress, it won't last long."

"Oh, that's right...... I thought I could bring the dead to life......" Qi Zihuan said whimsically with a puzzled expression.

"Uh...... Naturally, this can't. ”

Qi Zihuan's smile became more and more vigorous, and his eyes were bent into two slits.

"So, can you turn a living person into a dead person?"
