"Eternal Night...playwright?"

This name is quite straightforward, Chu Liuxiang thought. Because he is a playwright, he can attract attention by composing new plays, while hiding himself behind the scenes.

Before this, Chu Liuxiang knew that some people with innate abilities could write books, but from the names one could tell that they were not entertaining things. Most of them were martial arts secrets, sword manuals, etc., which had nothing to do with entertainment.

Even here, good scripts and plays do make money, but most writers are ashamed of this and think it is vulgar. Not only do they dare not use their real names when writing, most of them also hide their names. Only those who make money from these will come out and show their faces and make money with their fame.

People with different personalities have different personalities, but most of them seem to be alienated from the secular world. They have a good appearance of "not being involved in yin and yang water", so he thinks that these people will not write these things.

The person in front of him is directly named "Playwright". Perhaps in the world of innate people, this ability is also an extremely powerful weapon.

"… He doesn't look like a good person."

When the Eternal Night Playwright walked out of the screen, Hu Tiehua stood up and looked at him carefully. Although most of his face was covered by the exaggerated golden mask, just by looking at the man's dress, tone of voice, and temperament, Hu Tiehua dared to conclude that he was definitely not a righteous man.

What kind of righteous person would be in a place like this and play dumb with the two of them?

"Put aside your vulgar and disrespectful thoughts. The Eternal Night Playwright is here only to end this farce as soon as possible."

Yongye Playwright heard everything Hu Tiehua said, and he could also roughly guess what the other party was thinking.

"Then could you please explain to me what this exchange of Buddha and devil means?"

I've met so many people who like to speak in a nonsensical way. Jubilee would add a lot of expansions to a simple sentence, Zhixin would express common words with obscure symbols, Baixiulinxun would give nicknames to everyone, and Ruyueying would only tell half of the prophecy. Anyway, everyone has their own unique way of not speaking in a nonsensical way.

As for the person in front of him, although Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua both complained that the other did not speak human language, Chu Liuxiang cared more about the tone of the Eternal Night Playwright's speech than the way he spoke.

It was as if this person was not willing to talk to them, as if he looked down on them.

Chu Liuxiang: This is the first time that I, “Xiang Shuai” Chu Liuxiang, have been disliked by someone after so many years in the martial arts world.

Eternal Night Playwright: There are many people who are disliked by the Dazzled, and you two can't even get a place in the queue.

"In your eyes, is there only one thought, that of a Buddha possessed by a demon?"

At some point, a scepter appeared in the hand of the Eternal Night Playwright. The head of the scepter was exquisite and gorgeous, with a long silk ribbon hanging on it. The material of the scepter could not be seen, but when the candlelight shone on it, it showed a color similar to the holder's hair.

Before the two could take a closer look, they saw the Eternal Night Playwright gently wave his scepter, and groups of flying cards appeared again. The surrounding candlelight also made crackling sounds, and the flames expanded.

Seeing a large number of cards in the air, Chu Liuxiang remembered the scene of being surrounded by these pieces of paper just now. Thinking that it was going to happen again, he immediately took a defensive posture and pulled Hu Tiehua along.

Although these cards did not hurt him, their movement pattern was so similar to a bunch of flying insects gathered together that it gave people goose bumps just by looking at them.

But this time Chu Liuxiang was wrong. The flying cards did fly towards the two of them, but did not get close to them. Instead, they flew over their heads and flew towards behind them.

Because of the special layout of this place, which may have been mixed with a little bit of the Eternal Night Playwright's illusion, except for the area surrounded by candlelight, the area around the three people was still pitch black, making this space appear unusually empty, with no end in sight.

Based on this, Chu Liuxiang guessed that this was not a real basement. In the absence of any load-bearing columns, it was impossible to have such a completely hollowed-out basement. Moreover, they didn't know what was around them, and the same was true above their heads, so they couldn't see anything.

But when the two of them turned their heads following the cards, they heard a "bang!" sound from above their heads. Two beams of light came from nowhere and hit the front. The illuminated cards were divided into two groups. The light spot on the Eternal Night Playwright's scepter floated into the cards. In the blink of an eye, the cards turned into two human figures.

"Immortal Tianji?!"

The light on the scepter flashed, and Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua saw two Tianji standing where the cards were originally flying. Two rays of light above their heads hit the two Tianji, making the decorations on their clothes sparkle.

"W-What the hell is this?!"

Hu Tiehua was also startled. People who practice martial arts have sharp perceptions. After the shock at first sight, they soon discovered that the two people in front of them were not living people. They were not breathing and did not move, yet they were lifelike and no different from real people.

These two Tianji, one has the familiar white-haired image, dressed in blue and white, which makes people think of blue sky and white clouds at a glance; the other has black hair, which not only makes his face look younger, but also his clothes are mainly dark blue without too many shiny decorations, giving him the appearance of a young man full of vigor and vitality.

"Noisy."

Hearing Hu Tiehua's surprise, the Eternal Night Playwright criticized the other party for making a fuss and continued to cast the spell.

"Since you are also from the martial arts world, you should understand that black and white, day and night, are never clear-cut and must be opposed."

As the light of his spell lit up, the movements of the two Tianji changed. Their originally ordinary standing posture turned into holding swords facing each other. The two Tianji, dressed differently, held swords of the same shape, and their swords intersected.

Watching the two Tianji change their postures in the blink of an eye, these two things, who were not sure whether they were statues or products of illusion, looked exactly like real people. Their changed postures made them look more vivid. Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were horrified when they saw it.

If they were exposed to more modern knowledge, they would come up with a word that can accurately describe what the two people were feeling at that moment: the "uncanny valley effect."

"Don't be scared. These are the masterpieces of the Dazzler Eternal Night Wax Museum. Unfortunately, we came here in a hurry and there is no suitable place to place them. We can only leave them here for the time being."

Seeing the resistance from the two, the Eternal Night Playwright didn't care. He briefly explained what the two heavenly traces were and continued with the previous topic.

"Instead of just thinking that a Buddhist would be possessed by a demon, why not try to think that perhaps the demon has already mixed in, and the foolish righteous people are still obeying his orders."

The Eternal Night Playwright walked up to the two wax figures and stood right in front of the two intersecting swords. There were supporting bases under the feet of the wax figures, so the positions of the two celestial traces were also a bit higher, and the two crossed blue swords were hanging right above the Eternal Night Playwright.

If the black and white celestial bodies symbolize the night and day he just mentioned, then the Eternal Night Playwright standing below is like the "grey" born from the interweaving of the two, with no right or wrong, good or evil.

"I originally thought that I would no longer care about these trivial matters. Unfortunately, the enemy this time has touched the bottom line of the dazzling one. The poor performance has hurt the dazzling one's pursuit of art."

There was a strong light coming from nowhere above his head, and there was endless darkness all around him. In front of him was a strange figure who was neither good nor evil and whose methods were bizarre. Chu Liuxiang felt an unknown sense of oppression, as if as long as the two of them said something wrong, the two swords above would be on their necks.

He really wanted to know where Tianji knew this person. Did he know that someone was making a wax statue of him? Not only was it made to look exactly like the real person, but there were probably a lot of them to pose in various positions. What kind of perverted hobby was this? !

"Think carefully about where the real devil is. Has your definition of good and evil been misled long ago?"

"You mean to say that there is a traitor in the righteous path?"

According to the playwright of Eternal Night, these are all Chu Liuxiang could think of. It is not surprising that there are undercover agents in the righteous path. He has seen quite a few of them.

However, after the affairs of the Xihuang Buddhist world were dealt with, the Buddhists who remained were either people Chu Liuxiang knew in the Western Regions or were guaranteed by these people. There should be no traitors sneaking in.

It is absolutely impossible for Yi Ye Shu, Jing Liu Li and others to be there. They are all Buddhists who have fought with Po Xun in the Western Regions before. There is no problem with their identities. Ming Jian Jue Shi is one of the few latecomers. His origin is a bit problematic, but he said generously that he is "in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han", so there is no way he can have any inner...

"And the Buddha Saint..."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but widen his eyes. The Buddha Saint Shi Tian Luo Cang joined the righteous path later. Because of his long time, no one could guarantee that his identity was completely flawless. Moreover, he was the only one who had enemies of the same level.

But this guess is really absurd, and the Eternal Night Playwright doesn't know what is good and what is evil. Even if he has this idea in his mind, he dare not jump to conclusion.

"It seems like you already have the answer in your heart."

Even if Chu Liuxiang said nothing, just by looking at his unconcealable shock and the disbelief in his eyes when he looked over, the Eternal Night Playwright could guess that the other party had understood what he wanted to express.

It seems that as a person who often investigates cases in the underworld, Chu Liuxiang's brain is still quite good.

"Since you have understood what the Dazzler meant, and the show has already begun outside."

The Eternal Night Playwright stretched out his hand, and the two wax figures behind him once again turned into a large number of flying cards. One of them landed on his fingertips, and after being dyed a different color from the other cards, it flew in front of Chu Liuxiang.

Looking at the piece of paper floating in front of him, Chu Liuxiang reached out and grabbed it, pulling the card down from mid-air without any hindrance.

It was the first time he had seen this kind of thing. It looked like paper, but when he actually handled it he found that it was very hard and had a very smooth surface. It was different from any paper he had ever seen before.

Even so, Chu Liuxiang's intuition told him that what he held in his hand was indeed a piece of paper.

"What does this mean?"

"You don't need to know, just keep it. By the way..."

After Chu Liuxiang caught the cards, the Eternal Night Playwright withdrew his hand and put his fingers to his lips. Both of them saw his meaningful smile.

"No matter what, you can't tell that the Eternal Night Playwright has been here, especially Tianji. With his wisdom, he can easily find clues."

As he spoke, the cards behind him flew over the masked man's head and flew towards Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua again. This time, they did not fly over them, but wrapped around the two of them, gradually covering up the scene in front of them.

"Again?"

"What is this for?!"

Hu Tiehua was really fed up. Where did this guy get so many fancy moves? And these flying things, it would be better to just use the supernatural gods and monsters.

The cards quickly covered the surroundings, wrapping the two people like a cocoon. The two could now see nothing but the dazzling cards. In their ears, there was only the sound of wind brought by the flying cards, and the voice of the Eternal Night Playwright.

"If it is Tianji... No, no matter who asks, you two must not tell anyone about the existence of the Dazzler. Otherwise, the Eternal Night Playwright will let you see what the true art of evil is."

The voices of the people outside were getting quieter and quieter, and the sound of the wind in the two's ears was getting louder and louder. When they finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take the initiative, the cards around them scattered, bright light shone into their eyes, and all kinds of noisy sounds replaced the sound of the wind. Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua looked closely and found that they had returned to the place where they had been drinking before.

If Chu Liuxiang had not still held the cards given by the other party in his hand and was looking at the half-drunk wine on the table, they would probably have thought that the previous meeting with the playwright of Eternal Night was just a dream they had after getting drunk.

"This……"

"I heard that something happened in the Divine Marquis Mansion. There was a loud 'boom!' It was like being attacked by artillery."

"How much have you drunk? This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor. Who dares to use a cannon to blow things up?"

"Don't disbelieve me. I heard that there are all kinds of weapons in the Divine Marquis' Mansion. Maybe a cannon somewhere got out of control."

"Brother, don't just drink. Come, eat some food..."

Just as the two were about to marvel at the magical methods of the Eternal Night Playwright, they vaguely heard a discussion about the Shenhou Mansion next door. If Chu Liuxiang remembered correctly, Yi Ye Shu and others had left the city, and among the few Buddhists left in the Shenhou Mansion, Shi Tiancang happened to be one of them.

It is indeed unrealistic to use artillery in the capital, but Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua both know that besides muskets and cannons, there are other ways to create similar terrifying noises.

They are the Xiantian people who accumulate power to launch their attacks. Their attacks are even more powerful than those of muskets and cannons. Gunpowder may not be able to blow up a mountain made of stone, but the Xiantian people can.

"Let's go to the Shenhou Mansion first, and we can talk about other things on the way."

There is still a long distance from the restaurant to the Shenhou Mansion. The two of them have not yet cultivated their lightness skills to the level of turning into light and walking. They can talk about their guesses about Shi Tiancang on the way.

When the two arrived at the Shenhou Mansion, they found that there were indeed some unusual changes here. At least under normal circumstances, the Shenhou Mansion would not arrange so many people to guard around itself. Although this place makes many lawless elements tremble in fear, it usually takes a people-friendly approach and at most arranges two gatekeepers at the gate as a symbol.

After all, given the level of the Shenhou Mansion, those who can be stopped by the gatekeepers don't have the courage to confront the Shenhou Mansion. Those who dare to confront the Shenhou Mansion and cause trouble cannot be stopped by ordinary guards.

Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua often come to visit, and the people in Shenhou Mansion know them, so the two can enter normally. As soon as they step into the mansion, they go straight to where the Xiantian people live. According to the playwright of Yongye and the current situation, Shi Tiancang might have already taken action.

"Xiang Shuai?"

"Doctor Su? You don't have any, what's wrong with you..."

As soon as he came in, Chu Liuxiang saw Liu Qingyuan standing in front of him. Liu Qingyuan also saw Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua following behind him.

When Chu Liuxiang saw a familiar person, he was about to ask what happened, but the other person turned around and he saw bloodstains on his blue clothes.

Judging from the color of the blood, it should have been stuck not long ago.

"Ah, this..."

Liu Qingyuan followed Chu Liuxiang's gaze and found that he was looking at the bloodstains on his clothes.

"This is not my blood, but that of the seniors. Everyone was seriously injured, especially... the Venerable..."

"It really happened."

"really?"

"there is……"

Hearing the question, Chu Liuxiang wanted to answer reflexively, but then he remembered the whispers of the Eternal Night playwright, so he quickly changed his words.

"Old Hu and I heard someone say something happened at the Shenhou Mansion, so we went to check it out. What happened?"

"This... matter is a bit complicated. I heard the details..."
