Chapter 177 Big Love and Small Love (Today's third update)

The director of the Imperial Observatory, the seal of Marquis of Guanjun, and the cultivation of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

Any one of these three can drive people in the world crazy.

In order to make Chu Wujiang jump over, the Duke of Zhenguo threw three in one breath.

If Chu Wujiang is willing, not to mention adopting him as his adopted son, the Duke of Zhenguo can also push him up according to the training method of Xuanqiong Star Official.

But Chu Wujiang still refused.

Even though the Si Tian Jian was willing to provide him with the most fortune-giving secret treasures, he still refused.

"My Lord Duke, there is no problem with Master Beiku."

"That's all Chu knows."

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Chu Wujiang deeply and said slowly:
"Lord Longcheng, don't be so confident."

"I am a reasonable man, and everyone in the capital knows that."

"It won't be too late to talk about these letters after Lord Longcheng has finished reading them."

As soon as the Duke of Zhenguo finished speaking, he took out a stack of letters from his pocket, put them on the table, and motioned for the old butler to come and get them.

Chu Wujiang took the letter, glanced at its contents, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The contents of these letters describe the plans of the Wangui Sect so far.

They promoted the "Spirit Prayer Technique" to beggars, which was essentially to cultivate ghost fetuses by sacrificing the lives of living people.

The ghost fetus absorbs the beggars' lifespan to thrive, and also absorbs their resentment, despair and other emotions.

As long as the necessary rituals are performed, one can attract the investment of Mobo Xun, possess the blood of the evil god, and become a true descendant of the evil god.

Nangong Hen wants to train this offspring of the evil god in Buddhism, and eventually make him the abbot of the Mahayana Temple, thus directly breaking through Buddhism from within.

The plan in the letter is well-written and does not seem fake.

According to the information Chu Wujiang has obtained so far, this information is nine parts true and one part false.

Nangong Hen’s real goal was to sneak into the Imperial Observatory, but he chose the Mahayana Temple instead.

The Duke of Zhenguo is indeed a pillar of the court. Seeing that bribery doesn't work, he starts to reason with him:
"The sad monk has long been a spy for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. The evidence is irrefutable."

"I can understand that Lord Longcheng is a man of honor, and I will not ask Lord Longcheng to stab me in the back."

"Just one question, before Xuanqiong Xingguan got into trouble, did Master Beiku already have problems?"

"Lord Longcheng, just answer, yes or no."

The Duke of Zhenguo stared at Chu Wujiang. His eye mask was very special, forming a cross shape, like a star eye.

Such eyes can see through most disguises and look directly into a person's destiny.

That's why he has a favorable impression of Chu Wujiang.

The baits just thrown out were all sincere.

Great!

Chu Wujiang always thought that the Duke of Zhenguo was an unreasonable person.

But if you think about it carefully, how could a big shot who can control the Sitianjian and tomb keepers in the court, an important fighting force of the royal family, be a stupid person?

The Duke of Zhenguo believes that Chu Wujiang is loyal and unwilling to betray his friends, so he will start with reason and break down your psychological defenses.

If Chu Wujiang didn't understand the whole story, he would probably be persuaded by the Duke of Zhenguo on the spot.

He took a deep breath and said:
"All I know is that Master Misery has no problem."

Facing the leading question from the Duke of Zhenguo, Chu Wujiang still maintained his original answer.

No matter what means you use, I still stick to my original answer.

The Duke of Zhenguo was still not angry. He smiled and said:

"Then I'll ask it in a different way."

"After reading these letters, Lord Longcheng, do you still think there is nothing wrong with Monk Beiku?"

This was the first time Chu Wujiang encountered such a difficult enemy.

The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to be an expert in torture, using all kinds of indirect methods to find the weakness in Chu Wujiang's defense and a breakthrough.

He could only be very alert and said:
"I am not an official of the Dali Temple, so I cannot tell whether the story is true or not."

"This may be a means for the Demon Palace to deliberately slander Buddhism."

Of course, Chu Wujiang could not say that the Duke of Zhenguo forged the evidence, but he pointed out that there were certain problems with the evidence itself.

The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to have found a flaw, smiled and said:
"Lord Longcheng, the notes and soul characteristics of these letters have been verified to be written by Monk Beiku, and even the Mahayana Temple does not deny it."

"They just said that the sad monk had his own reasons and the plans were all fake."

It’s over.

Master Dafan, why do you want to admit it? Aren’t you trying to trick me?
Chu Wujiang's face changed slightly, and he immediately thought of a possibility:
[Wait!] [The other party is probably bluffing!]

Chu Wujiang calmed down instantly, and the Duke of Zhenguo took advantage of the victory and said:
"There is something wrong with the sad monk. He is colluding with the Demon Palace. He may even be Nangong Hen impersonating him."

"Under such circumstances, isn't it worth investigating what Mahayana Temple did?"

What he said made so much sense that Chu Wujiang could not remain silent in response, as this would completely make him lose to the opponent in terms of momentum.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

“It is indeed worth investigating.”

Seeing that Chu Wujiang had been persuaded, the Duke of Zhenguo immediately said:
"That's right, so I want Lord Longcheng to think about it. Have you noticed anything unusual about the sad monk?"

"Especially when Master Dafan was besieging the Xuanqiong Star Officials."

Chu Wujiang pretended to ponder for a long time, and finally shook his head and said:

"No."

"There is nothing wrong with the Master of Misery in Chu's impression."

The Duke of Zhenguo's smile froze a little.

This was the first time that Chu Wujiang encountered such a difficult enemy, and the same was true for the Duke of Zhenguo.

This kind of interrogation depends a lot on momentum. If the Duke of Zhenguo's momentum could gain the upper hand, Chu Wujiang would definitely have fallen into the Duke of Zhenguo's trap.

But Chu Wujiang had acquired the luck of [Divine Bravery], and any aura had no effect on him. Even if Di Hao came to interrogate him personally, Chu Wujiang could still speak freely and calmly.

The Duke of Zhenguo said in a deep voice:
"Lord Longcheng."

"It is very likely that many evil spirits have infiltrated the Mahayana Temple and it is no longer a pure Buddhist place."

"This old man's investigation is only for the common people of the world..."

When Chu Wujiang heard this, a strange look appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask:
"My Lord, I still give the same answer. I won't repeat it."

"But now I want to ask the Duke a question."

The Duke of Zhenguo was somewhat stunned, then nodded and said:
"Lord Longcheng might as well speak frankly."

Chu Wujiang stared at the Duke of Zhenguo and said slowly:
"Since the Duke always considers the people of the world, why does he want to promote spiritual rice?"

"If Chu remembers correctly, the Duke opposed the Prime Minister in the court and restricted the spread of spiritual rice."

One acre of good farmland produces ten kilograms of spiritual rice, and a warrior can consume the output of one hundred acres of good farmland in a year.

Anyone with a little knowledge of arithmetic can understand the drastic changes that would result from the spread of this crop.

"Is this also for the common people of the world?"

The Duke of Zhenguo answered without any hesitation:
"Yes."

Chu Wujiang asked:
"why?"

The Duke of Zhenguo sighed and said:

"Lord Longcheng, perhaps you will know in the future that there is also destiny between heaven and earth, and the destiny of the human race is changing."

"We have to be ready to meet the challenge."

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"Are you saying that the age of demons is coming?"

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Chu Wujiang with some surprise. Even his adopted son didn't know this information. The Chu family's inheritance was much stronger than he thought.

"indeed so."

"In order to cope with the coming of the demon era, the imperial court must train more warriors, and spiritual rice is just one of the means."

"After the spread of the spiritual rice, geniuses emerged one after another, both among the common people and the imperial court."

"The possibility of the human race surviving the demonic catastrophe has greatly increased."

In order to make Chu Wujiang understand deeply, the Duke of Zhenguo said seriously:
"Lord Long Cheng, there are two kinds of love in this world, one is great love, and the other is small love."

“Sacrificing the small self for the greater self is inevitable.”

Chu Wujiang understood, holding on to the last clue, he asked:
"What about the people who cannot grow good crops and have to bear the high food prices?"

The Duke of Zhenguo showed a look of compassion:
"For the future of humanity, sacrifice is inevitable."

really.

We are not on the same path.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Chu understands what the Duke means."

"I'm sorry Chu can't agree to this."
