Mu Tongfei took Yi Dan through several alleys and came to the outside of a private house. After checking that there was no one around, "Dong Dong Dong" knocked on the door three times, and a man's voice came from inside and asked, "Who?"

Mu Tongfei spoke: "The darkness is dispelled, and the light is opened."

"What is light?" asked from the door

"The prophet is unknown, but the light is light," replied Mu Tongfei.

With that, a door creaked open. I saw a man wearing a white scarf on his head and greeted him: "Subordinates see the Light Protector"

"Excuse me, let's go in and talk," Mu Tongfei said.

Yi Dan looked at Mu Tongfei in surprise, and didn't realize what was going on. Mu Tongfei turned around and said, "Come in, girl"

Yi Dan was attracted by the mysterious identity of the man in front of him, so he recklessly followed him into the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, I saw a black and white lotus painting enshrined in the middle of a hall, and under the lotus flower, it was written: "Mo Ni" two big characters.

Yi Dan looked at the lotus painting and asked his mother Tongfei, "Brother Tongfei, what is this? Why do they call you the Protector of Light?"

"I ask you, do you believe that there is light and darkness in the world?" asked Mu Tongfei.

"Of course, the sun is light, the night is darkness, and oh, there is also light and darkness in the human heart," Yi Dan replied solemnly.

"Well, that's right, then do you think the world of the Great Liang is light or dark now?" asked Mu Tongfei.

"Of course it's dark, bad people are rampant, and there is nowhere to talk about the grievances of good people," Yi Dan said categorically.

Mu Tongfei pointed to the lotus painting in front of her and said: "Look at this flag, it is the flag of light, do you know? The god of light has returned to the world, and the light of the world is not far away."

"Brother Tongfei, what do you mean by that?" Yi Dan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Let me ask you, are you coming to Kaifeng this time to do a big thing?" asked Mu Tongfei.

"I had this idea, but after I came, I realized that Kaifeng was too big to start, and I didn't even know where the door of the palace was..."

"It's okay, you can rest assured and be bold, say what you want to say in your heart, we are all people who are at odds with the imperial court, and we will never go to the informant" Mu Tongfei saw what Yi Dan meant when he wanted to speak and stopped, so he said this and asked her to relax her vigilance.

"Brother Tongfei, you are kind to me, of course I believe in you, but the stakes are high, I am afraid that it will affect you if I say it, then it should not be done" Yi Dan hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't matter, just say it, we are all for the great light, people who are not afraid of any danger, there are no taboos, you say" Mu Tong explained comfortingly.

"Well, I'll tell you. In fact, my parents and relatives were killed by Emperor Daliang, I was only five years old at the time, and I didn't remember anything after I was frightened," Yi Dan said and looked up at the lotus flag.

When Mu Tongfei heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked, "What about later?"

"A few days ago, I inadvertently remembered the past, and I also found out the truth, and learned that my parents and clansmen were tortured and killed. I want to avenge them, so I came to Kaifeng this time to sneak into the palace and assassinate Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Great Liang," Yi Dan said.

When Mu Tongfei heard this, he smiled secretly and said, "Okay, it's really the same as I guessed, so what are you going to do next?"

"But when I got here, I found that this matter was far more difficult than I imagined, looking at this huge Kaifeng City, I didn't even know where the door of the palace was opened, let alone go in to assassinate the faint king," Yi Dan said.

"It's okay, since you also have such a desire, I can help you complete this matter," Mu Tongfei said.

"How can you help me? This palace is heavily guarded, and I am not sure at all," Yi Dan said.

"Let me ask you, do you know the mother who is rebelling in Chenzhou now?" said Mu Tongfei.

"Didn't those people in the teahouse just say that the one who rebelled in Chenzhou?" Yi Dan asked.

"Exactly. I won't tell you the truth, I'm my mother's younger brother," Mother Tongfei replied.

Yi Dan suddenly realized, so he said, "Oh, so you are the younger brother of the mother B, it seems that what they said is true?"

(Later Liang Zhenming 6th year, 920 A.D., July.) Mother B, a peasant in Chenzhou (now Huaiyang, Henan), took the banner of "Mo Ni" to educate the villagers to rebel, affecting Chen, Ying, and Cai Shuzhou. Liang repeatedly sent state soldiers to arrest him, but he was defeated. In October, Liang Fa's forbidden army and several county soldiers pursued together, capturing more than 80 leaders such as Mu Yi and beheading them. ）

"Yes, but the rumors of tea are also half-true. They only know that my eldest brother has rebelled, but they don't know that there is another me," Mu Tongfei said.

"Could it be that you also responded to your eldest brother and unveiled the rod together?" Yi Dan asked.

Mu Tongfei looked around and motioned for Yi Dan to be quieter. Yi Dan also nodded like a thief.

Mu Tongfei burned a stick of incense on the lotus, then drew a talisman, lit it on the candle, burned it in the brazier, and muttered some incantations in his mouth that he himself could not understand.

After some pretended profoundness, Namu Tongfei got up and turned his head, and continued to pretend to be a fool and said to Yi Dan: "Last month, the God of Light gave my eldest brother and mother Yi a dream, saying that he wanted to entrust the world to possess my eldest brother to save the world. Let my eldest brother be the god of light, entrusted to the last prophet on earth."

"Oh yes, so your eldest brother rebelled against the imperial court in Chenzhou?" Yi Dan asked

"That's right, the god of light has come to the world, and the world is in the body of my eldest brother. Now, the people of several states and counties in the south have responded to the call of the Prophet of Light, and if you are a girl, you are willing to join my Sect of Morni. When the time comes, countless gold and silver treasures, endless glory and wealth, and children and grandchildren, princes and princesses, will be just around the corner."

Mu Tongfei just used "great light", such a benevolent and righteous statement as an excuse, but soon he took a bite of "glory and wealth" and "high-ranking officials" to expose the ugly face of his heart's real desire for power and wealth. Under the pretext of the bright banner of Morni, they are no different from the brutal warlords who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. In contrast, those warlords who fought for gold, silver, treasure, glory and wealth were much more upright than the duplicitous hypocrites in front of them. Mu Tongfei seduced Yi Dan word by word, and waited for Yi Dan to give him the answer he wanted.

"Do you mean me? I didn't think about it, I just want to avenge my father and mother, and kill that faint king quickly" Yi Dan was not interested in glory, wealth, gold and silver treasures, so he replied to him unexpectedly.

Mu Tongfei saw that Yi Dan was unwilling to take the bait, so he continued: "With your strength alone, you can't even enter the gate of the palace, let alone take revenge." If you want, work with us and I'm sure we'll be successful soon. You join the Mani Sect, it's better to join early, listen to me. ”

"But, I—" Yi Dan was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.

"Do you know why I came to open it?" said Mu Tongfei.

"Why?" Yi Dan asked.

"The Prophet of Light, that is, my eldest brother, is now raising troops in Chenzhou, and the attention of the imperial court must have been attracted to Chenzhou. So the Prophet of Light asked me to quietly bring some people to Kaifeng. First, we want to recruit talents for our use, and second, maybe we can find an opportunity to kill that dog emperor," Mu Tongfei said to Yi Dan in a pretended manner.

"Well, it makes sense to capture the thief and capture the king first, I don't know what your plan is for Brother Tongfei?" Yi Dan asked.

"Now that the palace has also placed a refuge in the Prophet of Light, if you join us, you will be able to fulfill your wish as soon as possible," Mu Tongfei said.

"The matter of joining the sect can be postponed, what do you most need me to do at the moment, Brother Tongfei?" Yi Dan asked.

"Listen to me slowly, as long as you convert to my Madni religion and follow the Prophet of Light, you will be able to enjoy the news of the believers. In this way, you can enter the palace smoothly and assassinate the Dog Emperor, why not?" said Mu Tongfei.

Yi Dan thought for a while and replied, "I'm sorry, Brother Tongfei, I prefer to be alone." I don't want to hurt my friends if I fail, so I'm sorry I can't join your Mani Sect!"

Since childhood, Li Xian told Yi Dan and Youming: "When you enter the rivers and lakes in the future, don't believe in those so-called righteous sects." No matter how fanciful they may say, don't be gullible. In particular, those sects that love to speak big truths are actually just a means for those in power to control the congregation and become a pawn for them to use. They often give you some common principles first, and then give you small favors to let your guard down. Then step by step, you will set a trap and continue to attack your inner defenses with fallacies and heresies. In the end, you unconsciously and willingly, become a tool for it. Such a sect, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring it is on the surface, is actually just a cult in essence" These words that Master once said kept coming to Yi Dan's mind at this time. Fortunately, she hadn't forgotten Master's teachings, so she replied to her mother in this way.

"If you don't join the church, the church will not be able to trust you, and if no one cooperates with you, you will not be able to achieve what you want to do," Mu Tongfei repeatedly persuaded him.

"Brother Tongfei, in fact, things are not as complicated as you said, I want to kill that faint king, and you also want to kill him, why can't we simply cooperate?" Yi Dan asked.

"Girl, you are so beautiful, and your martial arts are strong, if you join the religion, I can ask the prophet of light, canonize you as a holy apologetic, and be honored by the believers with three bows and nine bows, and your status is respected, why not? This matter, let's talk about it later, one thing I only want to do at the moment, that is, to enter the palace to assassinate the faint king, if you are willing to help me, I am naturally grateful, if you are not willing to help me, then I don't have this blessing."

Mu Tongfei saw that Yi Dan was so resolute not to take the bait. But after all, Yi Dan is full of martial arts and wants to assassinate the emperor, so he sighed and said, "Hey, okay, since you don't want to join my sect for the time being, then let's not talk about this matter for the time being." But we, the prophets of light, are merciful and willing to help those who are suffering in the darkness."

"Really, Brother Tongfei, are you really willing to help me?" Yi Dan asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes, since you want to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, so resolute, then I can ask someone to find out the news for you first, and after success, how about we talk about meritorious deeds?" Seeing that Yi Dan refused to take the bait, Mu Tongfei said in a retreat.

"Okay, thank you Brother Tongfei. I'm desperate to know the news of a person right now, I wonder if Brother Tongfei can help me find out?" Yi Dan asked.

"Who's the news?"

"It's that Concubine Zhang. I wonder if she's an old friend I know," Yi Dan replied.

"This is easy to do, there is a little eunuch in the palace who is also a believer in my Prophet of Light, he is a subordinate of the big eunuch who is in charge of the concubine file, I asked him to quietly check the case record of this concubine. How about you live here and tell you as soon as you get news?"

"Great, then it's hard to work with Brother Fei," Yi Dan said gratefully.

"It's okay, but I want to ask, what is the relationship between this Concubine De and the girl?" asked Mu Tongfei.

"She is a very key person, if she is really my old friend and can get her help, then we may be able to get twice the result with half the effort in the matter of assassinating the faint king," Yi Dan replied.

"That's really good, I'll let someone do it quickly, just ask Miss Yi to rest here and wait for the news," Mu Tongfei said ecstatically.

"Well, then it's hard to work with Brother Fei."
