Chapter 100 99: Magic Sound (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Next, Chen Liubai didn't say much to Su Zhan, and he didn't even ask about the old gentleman's identity.

Everyone takes different paths, so there is nothing to find out.

Just like when we met by chance that day, the old gentleman asked him rashly and wanted to know how to govern the world.

Chen Liubai's answer was "I asked the wrong person."

There are many things that cannot be said, but no matter how much truth is said, it is just rhetoric.

……

"How unfair is the law of heaven!"

In the small courtyard, Ye Huosheng held the heavy sword in both hands and looked up to the sky and sighed: "People like us who live in luxury are actually going to be hungry."

Chen Liubai, who was walking in, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Scholar, you are finally back."

Seeing him, Ye Huosheng was overjoyed.

Chen Liubai glanced at the clean courtyard. Everything was in order. It seemed that there was no shortage of care. He asked calmly: "What happened?"

Ye Huosheng touched his head: "This period of time has cost a lot, and the two horses are quite edible."

Horses can't just eat it?

Like Rouge Horse and Qianli Zou, if raised intensively, the cost of one horse is as much as a family of five, or even more.

Chen Liubai looked at him and waited for the next step. After all, the money left for Ye Huosheng at that time, even if he was lavish, there was no reason to use it so quickly.

Ye Huosheng's expression was solemn: "The day before yesterday, I seemed to have been fooled."

"It seems like you were fooled?"

"These days, there are more and more monks carrying Buddha statues on the streets, playing various kinds of bombs, and chanting sutras with wooden fish. I know that these ways are not normal, so I have been too lazy to pay attention to them. But the day before yesterday, I was eating in a street pub and while Eat, listen, and listen, and then you will have the idea to donate some money and make offerings."

Chen Liubai raised his eyebrows: "So you just donated the money?"

Ye Huosheng nodded: "I was confused at that time. When I got home, I suddenly woke up and felt cheated."

Chen Liubai asked: "Then you didn't find the place to recover?"

Ye Huosheng sighed: "I rushed back immediately, but the other party had already gone far away, and I didn't know where to go. Then I thought about it carefully, and there was definitely something weird about the music and chanting, and it was probably a demonic sound. So what if I look for it? I can be tricked once. , it will be done a second time. I can't cover my ears and rush in to kill. This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor."

Although he has good martial arts skills, he is just a warrior. He cannot fly to the sky or escape from the earth, nor can he be defeated by ten thousand people.

In a small place, he dared to look down on the local county government, but in the capital city, it was completely different.

What's more, there may be masters hidden in the ceremony.

There was a lot of trouble, and I couldn't eat and walked around.

After thinking about it for a long time, I could only swallow the loss by eating coptis.

After hearing this, Chen Liubai said nothing more.

At the beginning, he witnessed with his own eyes the frenzy of believers rushing to donate amid the chanting of sutras.

Is this voluntary?

If it were a normal propaganda, it would be fine, so please feel at ease, but the melody of the chanting was obviously weird, and once people heard it, they became addicted to it, and their brains seemed to have been washed by water.

Using "magic sound" to describe it couldn't be more appropriate.

Now that even Ye Huosheng has been tricked, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to resist.

But so far, the problems have mainly focused on donations, which are asking for money, and I haven’t heard anything about other things.

All I can say is that it was a bit too harsh.

So, what do these monks, or directly Tianlong Temple, need so much money?

Ye Huosheng continued: "I have been out for the past two days and I have also obtained some information. It is said that the Holy Emperor's tomb palace has seriously overrun its budget, and the national treasury is in severe deficit and cannot make ends meet. Therefore, in the name of donating to worship Buddha, they wantonly plundered people's wealth and anointing."

Speaking of this, he said angrily: "I have already scratched my skin several times with various exorbitant taxes, miscellaneous taxes, annual tribute, etc., but I didn't expect this trick. Let me just say, there is no one above me at the feet of the emperor. How dare these monks be so blatant?"

"You are a knife hunter, but you still have to pay taxes?"

"Isn't that true? For example, if you offer a reward of one hundred taels, you will get only 60 to 70% of it, and the rest will be deducted in the name of paying taxes. And tax revenue should be used for people's livelihood, how can it be used to build a tomb? It makes sense. It has been built for more than ten years and it has not been completed yet. Isn’t this a bottomless pit?”

Ye Huosheng was very dissatisfied: "I enjoyed all the power and glory during my lifetime, and I will continue to do so after my death. It is simply endless."

Chen Liubai said calmly: "The more you have something, the more reluctant you are to let it go. This is true for everyone."

Ye Huosheng blinked: "I heard that when Emperor Yankang came to the throne, he wholeheartedly sought Taoism and sought immortality. But later he found that his quest failed and his body and bones deteriorated, so he quickly changed his family and believed in the Buddhist theory of reincarnation. There is a set, so we must create this cause and effect to make the Buddhist family prosper."

Chen Liubai chuckled: "You have inquired a lot."

Ye Huosheng said proudly: "Don't underestimate the people in the market. A lot of news comes from there. I'm thinking that with the chaos in the government and the public now, there must be someone who wants to muddy the water so that they can take advantage of it... By the way, that beautiful woman The princess came once, but she left when you weren't there. I looked at her as if she was worried."

Chen Liubai said: "You have killed her master, how can she be in a good mood?"

Ye Huosheng: "..."

He quickly said: "This matter is known to heaven and earth. You know it and I know it."

Being able to stab the famous Lord of Baidi City to death was a remarkable achievement, but the process was not normal and was shady, so he naturally had to keep it secret.

Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand so many disciples from Baidi City coming to his door.

Now Guo Lin's body is buried deep in the corner of the yard.

Chen Liubai didn't care about this. Ye Huosheng couldn't help but ask: "Scholar, what is going on? A great innate master, but he is willing to be driven by others and become a lackey."

Chen Liubai replied: "The emperor wants to seek immortality, and those great masters are not immune to secularism, that's all."

I didn’t go into details because there was no need.

Ye Huosheng was not a stupid person. He could guess a rough idea after thinking about the whole situation, so he stopped asking any more questions and sighed secretly in his heart: Who can escape such a tempting thought?

Chen Liubai went back to the room, tidied up a little, and sat cross-legged to meditate.

Since his breakthrough, he has developed the habit of meditating, but when he has free time, he uses Zhou Tian to use every opportunity to convert Qi and blood into Yuan Qi.

Water grinding skills rely on the power of water to penetrate the stone, and there is no room for cheating or slipping.

Even more, we have to endure the loneliness.

Three days passed in a flash.

On this day, Zhao Geer came to visit again. Seeing Chen Liubai, she was quite happy and showed a happy face.

Master Guo Lin suddenly disappeared, and Baiyun Villa was in chaos. Fortunately, the second senior brother Jia Su was dignified and quickly stabilized the situation. In his words, the master had left quietly before, but after a while, he came back.

However, this time, after so long, there was still no news.

I searched everywhere with all my hands, but found nothing.

Jia Su felt that something might have happened to his master.

This is a major event that will cause the world to collapse.

He made a prompt decision, leaving only a few disciples behind, and then took the others to leave the capital and go south, returning to Baidi City.

Baidi City is the foundation of the sect's power, and there are several elders sitting in the city.

When something like this happens, it is natural to report and discuss with the elders as soon as possible, and then draw up regulations.

Zhao Geer's situation is quite embarrassing. She was recently accepted by Guo Lin as his successor, but her master has disappeared.

There is something strange about this matter.

The person who recently had a conflict with Baidi City was Chen Liubai.

Chen Liubai was introduced by Zhao Geer again...

Due to the series of connections, Jia Su would certainly suspect that the master's disappearance was probably related to Chen Liubai, and Zhao Geer could not escape the relationship.

But suspicion was suspicion, and he didn't dare come to Chen Liubai to question him.

The senior sister was defeated in one move, and now even the master has disappeared. If Jia Su himself comes again, wouldn't it be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

As for Zhao Geer, Her Majesty the Princess cannot take her down for interrogation.

When asked, Zhao Geer swore that he didn't know what was going on.

She really had no idea.

With no other choice, Jia Su felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, so he had to search the master's quiet room, and unexpectedly discovered a secret. It turned out that the master was a member of the Immortal Seeking Association.

But what kind of existence Qiuxian will be is unknown.

This matter became more and more complicated, and Chen Liubai's suspicion became thinner.

After all, with his abilities, he could uproot the entire Baidi City by himself, so there was no need to secretly kill Guo Lin.

Jia Su couldn't handle the matter, so he had to evacuate with his people and leave the capital, a place of right and wrong.

Zhao Geer did not follow, but stayed in the capital. In fact, she also doubted Chen Liubai, but it was meaningless.

Some things are destined to never be true.

I came here to try my luck and see if Chen Liubai came back.

Inexplicably, standing in front of her husband, she felt an indescribable peace of mind.

Zhao Geer knew very well that it was not Chen Liubai who needed her, but she who needed Chen Liubai.

Therefore, I often worry that one day I will lose the value of existence and become a discarded child:

"Sir, my father fell ill again a while ago. Judging from his appearance, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony originally planned to be held in the spring season may be rescheduled, but it has not been determined yet;"

"In January, the government and the public were even more confused. My father's temperament became violent and violent. Not long ago, he ordered the execution of Old Master Su. You know, Old Master Su was his teacher."

Like last time, Zhao Geer reported various intelligence developments.

Chen Liubai also learned from this that the old man's identity was actually an imperial master, and he could be called a respected old minister.

But when things came to a head, he wanted to kill himself by hitting a pillar, but his honor was not fulfilled. Instead, he was escorted to Caishikou and his head was displayed to the public.

This ending is absolutely a shame.

After the report, Zhao Geer said goodbye and left, returning to the palace.

In fact, she didn't want to return to the increasingly gloomy and depressing palace, but she had no choice but to stay inside if she wanted to get more information from the inner court.

Chen Liubai took out the iron sword and began to wipe it with a piece of cloth.

He was going to take a trip to Tianlong Temple...
