Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The two of them couldn't agree on a conclusion, so they asked Xu Huaiyi to be the referee. Xu Huaiyi spread his hands helplessly and said, "You both have your own reasons. I can't be sure. However, if you really want my opinion, I am more inclined to believe that Meng Yao got some opportunity..."

"Opportunity?" Li Yunting frowned and thought.

Su Zhe asked directly, "What opportunity?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly. "What kind of opportunity? How would I know? I just have some guesses about this. Before, because the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion always targeted me, I privately asked someone to check their family. There was nothing unusual about the Pingyuan Marquis and his son, but this Princess Anping was a little weird..."

Su Zhe asked curiously, "What's weird about it?"

Xu Huaiyi explained in a low voice, "This matter started two years ago. At that time, I fled to the capital with the villagers, and the first gossip I heard was about this Princess Anping.

To be honest, I felt something was wrong when I heard it, but I had nothing to do with them and I was busy settling down and making a living, so how could I have the time to care about other people's affairs?
It was later on, when I was inexplicably targeted by the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. I really couldn't figure out how I had offended them, so I asked for some details.

Two years ago, this Princess Anping was just an ordinary girl in the Earl's Mansion. Although she was the legitimate daughter of Meng Chonglou, she was not taken seriously because she had no outstanding appearance, talent, or personality. To put it nicely, she was honest and well-behaved, but to put it bluntly, she was timid and not presentable. Naturally, the value of such a girl for marriage when she grew up would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, she was not liked by Earl Pingyuan in the Earl's Mansion, and the younger sisters in the family often bullied her. Every time something ugly happened, she had to swallow her anger.

The reason why she was unconscious for three days was because she fell into the water. The reason why she fell into the water was claimed by the Bo Mansion to be an accident. That was to keep the reputation of the Mansion secret. In fact, she was pushed into the water by someone..."

Hearing this, the two were surprised, but not too surprised. How could there be real harmony in the backyard of a wealthy family? Intrigue and deception were the normal way of getting along. You schemed against me, I schemed against you, and it all depended on who was better.

Especially for those who are not favored, losing their lives is really not a rare thing.

Su Zhe and Li Yunting had both suffered greatly from this and knew the methods behind it best.

Su Zhe continued thoughtfully, "I have heard a few things about this matter. It is said that Princess Anping fell into the water and became unconscious. Several doctors have determined that her condition is not good.

No one expected that three days later, she suddenly opened her eyes. Not long after waking up, she spread the news that she had been enlightened by the Bodhisattva while in a coma and had the ability to foresee danger. No one believed it at first, but she had predicted that Meng Chonglou would suffer a bloody disaster on a certain day and in a certain place. Meng Chonglou did not take it seriously and went there as usual. As a result, he broke his leg, which was considered a fulfillment of the prophecy. After that, there were several other things that she had predicted in advance, so people could not help but believe it.

Especially the emperor, because she informed him in advance and he avoided danger, no one questioned her ability to predict the future, and it was because of this that she was named the county lady. "

Xu Huaiyi nodded and said meaningfully, "That's right, but few people noticed that after she woke up from her coma, her temperament changed drastically. Compared to before, she is like a completely different person."

Su Zhe frowned when he heard this, "I haven't paid attention to this. Is it a big change?"

"Well, I also found out through special investigation. Now she is no longer submissive and submissive to others. It is the people in the Bo's Mansion who are carefully trying to please her. If it is just because of her changed status that the sisters of her age change their attitudes to curry favor with her, it is normal. But even her mother, and even Uncle Pingyuan and his son, have to be humble in front of her. This is too exaggerated."

"Really?" Su Zhe's eyes widened in astonishment, "Earl Pingyuan is also going to bow his head?"

Xu Huaiyi said in a profound way, "It's not just bowing your head. No matter whether what she says makes sense or not, right or wrong, he will listen to it. If it were someone else, how could a grandfather listen to a six-year-old granddaughter?"

Su Zhe murmured, "It's really too weird..."

Li Yunting boldly proposed a hypothesis, "The opportunity you are talking about, could it be that she was possessed by some wandering ghost while she was in a coma?"

That's why his temperament changed drastically, because he is no longer the same person at all.

Su Zhe was shocked when he heard this. "You, you really dare to say anything..."

If a wandering ghost takes over someone else's body, isn't that just a monster?

If this word gets out, what good can come of it? The Pingyuan Marquis's mansion will explode. Even the emperor probably won't be happy, after all, he gets the most benefits from Meng Yao.

Being enlightened by the Bodhisattva can be regarded as having great fortune. If she helps the emperor, it naturally means that the emperor is the son of destiny. But if she is a monster, wouldn't the emperor be a tyrant?
Li Yunting looked at his changing expression and said with contempt, "Look how scared you are. They say that no one here will pass on messages, unless you go out and say something nonsense."

Su Zhe was immediately annoyed, "Am I crazy? Would I spread what we three said?"

Li Yunting said calmly, "That's all. No one will leak the secret. In this room, we can speak freely without any scruples."

Su Zhe choked and said helplessly, "You can't just be so fanciful and talk nonsense, right?"

Li Yunting snorted, "I think my guess is pretty close."

"The child is silent and has strange power and chaos..."

"Then why do people still burn incense and worship Buddha? If you don't believe, isn't it a waste of effort and incense?"

"That's different. People go there to seek peace of mind and hope..."

"There is no difference. Since there are gods and Buddhas in this world, there are naturally lonely ghosts."

"Don't make alarmist statements if you don't have any evidence..."

"Why is there no evidence? Have you forgotten that the Marquis of Changle Mansion was punished by thunderbolts from heaven because of a mistake? And the second master of the Meng family ran into a ghost in the middle of the night and is still in a trance. At that time, more than one person saw it, and many servants of the Yao family witnessed it with their own eyes."

At this point, Su Zhe didn't know how to refute it for a moment. After all, the incident of the Yao family caused a big stir at the time, and everyone in the capital knew about it. At first, some people suspected that it was a man-made incident. Later, even people from the court investigated it, but still found nothing unusual. People couldn't help but think it was a ghost.

Apart from this, the incident of Changle Marquis' Mansion being struck by lightning is indeed difficult to explain.

He was not a pure atheist, but he found it difficult to accept that Meng Yao had been possessed by another body. He felt that if this was confirmed, there would be endless trouble and danger.

After a while, he asked tentatively, "If that's the case, how about we ask a Taoist priest to catch it?"

Li Yunting shook his head, "It's definitely useless."

Su Zhe subconsciously asked, "How do you know it's useless? You haven't tried it..."

Li Yunting glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten the farce when the Yao family invited Taoist priests to the mansion to catch ghosts? Those Taoist priests are just cheating and deceiving. The ones who are really capable are all practicing in the mountains."

"What about Master Hui Xin?"

"Him? It's not easy to ask him to come forward. Besides, since Meng Yao dares to show off her ability to predict the future so publicly, perhaps she is not afraid of being discovered." "Isn't she afraid of the monks and Taoist priests?"

"It is very likely that she can come and go freely in the imperial palace. The emperor is the true dragon and the son of heaven. Normally, ordinary ghosts should not be able to get close to him. However, she has seen the emperor many times and has not suffered any backlash."

"So, she is very advanced?"

"What kind of skill? It must be magic, right?"

"I don't know how she practiced it."

"Oh, do you still want to learn?"

Xu Huaiyi listened to the two people talking more and more outrageously, and twitched his mouth speechlessly, "Stop it, whether she is a human or a ghost, we can't control it. This is her opportunity, that is, her ability. Others can encounter it but not seek it, so don't ask for it. Resurrection from the dead is not a good thing after all, so you should just live your life well."

Su Zhe deeply agreed with this.

Li Yunting said, "I don't envy her ability, but if she is really a demon and she sets her sights on you, will you be able to stay calm in the future?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly, "It's just my bad luck."

Li Yunting was tougher than him. "No one can be unlucky forever. This matter must be resolved."

Su Zhe looked at Xu Huaiyi belatedly and asked, "So, on the way back to Beijing, you think that Pingyuan Bo hired assassins and assassins to harm you, but it was actually Meng Yao who asked him to do so? And what happened in the palace last night was also Meng Yao's doing?"

Xu Huaiyi said helplessly, "I have this suspicion, but I have no evidence, and even if I say it, no one will believe it."

Li Yunting took over the conversation, "No one will believe it. After all, Meng Yao is only six years old, still a child, and has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva. She has no grudge against you, and there is no reason for her to take your life."

At this point, his expression became serious, "So, why did she insist on getting rid of you?"

Xu Huaiyi said half seriously and half jokingly, "I have racked my brains to think about it. I am not a Taoist priest, so how can I threaten her? It can't be that she thinks my existence will hinder her, so she wants to kill me, right?"

Li Yunting was stunned for a moment, frowned and began to think.

Su Zhe had a worried look on his face. "How can you hinder her? You two are not even from the same circle. If she were standing in the court, she could still say that your ability might block her path to promotion, but she is just a little girl. Now that she has been named a princess, that's the highest position she has reached. Even if you win a battle and become a general, it won't affect her at all..."

After a pause, he had a bold idea, "Could it be that you can defeat her?"

Xu Huaiyi rolled his eyes, "How did you come up with this?"

The more Su Zhe thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was reliable, and even his expression became excited, "You are a person with great luck, didn't Master Sun praise you as a lucky general? Think about it, isn't your luck good enough?
Let’s talk about fleeing famine first. So many disaster victims came to the capital, but only one in ten survived. But you brought people from Xujia Village, more than 300 people, with you, and you were on the road for more than a month, and you were all safe and sound. Isn’t this a miracle?
Afterwards, you were able to settle down in the local area so quickly and had no worries about food and shelter. Apart from your ability, luck was also a factor, right?
Oh, and on the first day you entered Jingwu Academy, Master Sun took your eye on you and took you in as his apprentice. It can't be that Master Sun just liked you, right?
Later, no matter what you did, everything went smoothly. Of course, you are a capable person, but there are many capable people. Is there anyone like you who never makes mistakes or gets cheated? "

He counted on his fingers and told him one by one, "Let's not talk about the distant past, but let's just say that you went to the war last year. As long as you fought, you would win. The situation was unfavorable to our Dayong at the beginning, but it was because of you that we were able to turn the tide. In the end, you won the battle and returned triumphantly without any injuries or defeat. I don't doubt your ability, but to be able to do this smoothly, don't you mean you are a person of great luck?"

Xu Huaiyi said speechlessly, "You just said that a gentleman should not talk about strange things..."

Su Zhe smiled and said, "But facts speak louder than words. You are lucky, and all of us who follow you have benefited from it. I am the best evidence. Without you, I might be dead now."

Li Yunting nodded, "I think what Su Zhe said makes sense, Huaiyi, I also think that you are indeed very lucky and are a person favored by God."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hands, "You're getting more and more ridiculous. If you keep talking like that, I'm probably a god from heaven who has come down to earth to experience disaster..."

Su Zhe said faintly, "Don't say it, it's really possible."

Xu Huaiyi laughed, "Where's the evidence? You're writing a storybook, you can imagine any plot."

Su Zhe said mysteriously, "There is evidence. Have you forgotten Master Huixin? When you first arrived in Hutian Village, didn't you invite him to perform the ritual of salvation? The reason why he became famous later was also due to the miracle that happened that time. Maybe it wasn't his ability, but because of you..."

Xu Huaiyi's heart skipped a beat. It was indeed because he had lied, but he couldn't admit it. He said innocently, "It has nothing to do with me. You can't attribute all the good things to me, right? It was because Master Huixin was highly respected and his Buddhist teachings were boundless that the miracle happened. Hundreds of people in the village saw it at the time..."

Su Zhe stopped talking, but it was obvious that he seemed to believe his own guess.

Xu Huaiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You'd better not go out and talk nonsense. If someone hears me, they will laugh at me for flattering myself. I am where I am today because of some luck, but most of it is the result of my own hard work. You can't deny my ability, otherwise I will die unjustly..."

Su Zhe nodded obediently, "Of course, of course..."

Ability is one, luck is the second.

Li Yunting did not argue about this. He looked enlightened. "This explains why Meng Yao wanted to get rid of you. Your luck will probably affect her ability to predict the future. She has the status and glory she has today because of this ability to predict the future. Naturally, she will not tolerate you."

I have to say, after all the guessing, the truth about Li Yunting was revealed.

Xu Huaiyi raised his hand and wiped his face, "If you say so, then so be it."

Su Zhe asked excitedly but cautiously, "What should we do next?"

Li Yunting said without hesitation, "Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. She is a lonely ghost, so of course everyone has the right to kill her."

Su Zhe's expression changed. "But we don't know any magic. How can we get rid of her? Can we just use dog blood to kill her?"

Li Yunting said, "If we kill her directly, the body she is staying in will be gone, and she will be gone. Even if she can't disappear completely, it won't be easy for her to find another host to take over. The right time and place are both essential."

Su Zhe agreed seriously, "That makes sense! Then when do we start?"

"The sooner the better!"

Seeing the two men sharpening their knives and about to help him kill Meng Yao, Xu Huaiyi felt relieved but helpless. After sincerely thanking them, he persuaded them to stop, "God will punish the evildoers, there is no need to dirty our hands." (End of this chapter)
