The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1159 - 265: Obedient Dog_2

Pei Qin was still hopping mad, cursing the Old Bald Donkey, "Old Bald Donkey! Hey! Don’t think you are Buddha just because you look like one!"

After yelling for a while and seeing no response, she felt even more that something was off. Even Liang Bing, calling from the other side, got no response, which shocked Pei Qin, "Hey!? Old Bald Donkey! You wouldn’t be dead, would you!?"

"Master Duxu!? Master Duxu!" Liang Bing called out twice, but getting no answer, he came over and started shaking him.

As he exerted force, Master Duxu’s head drooped as his neck went limp, and he completely collapsed.

"Ah—" Liang Bing cried out in shock, stepping back repeatedly.

Pei Qian, Pei Wendong, and the others, who were amidst their crying and cursing, were also shocked and their expressions changed.

"What happened to the master?" Pei Wenli, startled, jumped up.

The crowd below was also immensely shocked, and they started crowding towards the stage.

Fang Fu hid the little boy in his arms.

Shen Songming was also taken aback.

Ji Bingchu immediately came forward, and upon seeing the situation, he was relieved, "Master Duxu is dead! He swore an oath himself, that if he lied, betrayed Buddha, or plotted to kill General Pei, he would voluntarily fall into Avici Hell, never to be reborn! Now he has assisted the tyrant and plotted against General Pei and has been punished by the heavens!"

Liang Bing and the others were dumbfounded. It was supposed to be the execution of Pei Qin, and Mo Heng had also been detained, leaving only Pei Wendong, who was of no great use—the matter seemed conclusive. How could Master Duxu have died at such a time!?

Feng Bo and Fang Hui were also shaken, wasn’t he a high monk? How could he have died instead!? Mo Heng had not appeared, could it be he killed him!?

Pei Wenli and Lady Zhu couldn’t believe it and pointed at Pei Qian and Pei Wendong, along with Shen Songming, "You killed Master Duxu! It was you, enchanted by that demon, trying to save her, who killed Master Duxu!"

Liang Bing thought the same, how could Master Duxu have died just like that!? He immediately sent someone to the palace, to report to the Emperor and request a decree. With the current situation in such a mess, he was no longer able to tidy it up.

Pei Wendong, Pei Qian, and Chang Yonglin immediately caused an uproar, "My eldest sister is not a demon! She’s been framed! This devil monk plotted against people’s lives, and he has been taken by the heavens! Release my elder sister now!"

"Master Duxu was clearly killed by you! You are all demons! You all must be burned!"

"It was this demon who killed Master Duxu! Her demon art is powerful! She must be burned immediately! Burn her!"

Lady Zhu and Pei Houli, among others, were out of control, cursing and urging. They’d spent so much effort, they couldn’t falter now! Otherwise, once this wretched woman revived, she would be the death of them!

But the crowd below could no longer be restrained; they all shouted that Pei Qin was the Nine Heavens’ Lady incarnate, that old monk Master Duxu had plotted against her and was taken by the heavens! Otherwise, it was impossible that just as he swore on the other side and harmed Pei Qin, it immediately came true on himself!

Seeing the public outrage becoming uncontrollable, Liang Bing quickly called the Imperial Physician to see what happened to Master Duxu.

The doctor who had just checked Pei Wenchen’s eyes came over first, looked at Master Duxu, and said coldly, "He’s already breathless."

Liang Bing didn’t believe it, "Master Duxu was still energetic this morning, how could he suddenly die. Check thoroughly whether he was poisoned or murdered!"

The two young monks who came with Master Duxu sat beside his corpse, closed their eyes, and started chanting scriptures.

Heavy snow began to fall, quickly covering everyone with a layer.

Pei Qin couldn’t care less about the snow covering her body, her gaze deep as she looked at Master Duxu, who had passed away on the spot. She thought she was being exorcised, at least not going back would mean wandering as a lone ghost at home. She thought Mo Heng would definitely have other plans, he was so obsessed, he definitely wouldn’t accept such an outcome. She had never imagined that old monk Duxu would pass away right there.

That deep look made Pei Qin suddenly realize. Master Duxu had died to save her. And after his death, he still had to carry the blame.

"Bodhi is originally without any tree, the bright mirror is also not a stand, originally there is not a single thing—where could the dust alight?" Pei Qin, profoundly moved, brought her hands together and sincerely knelt down, bowing to Master Duxu.

Just after bowing, her whole body felt heavy, as if being pulled, and she suddenly opened her eyes. She was back!

Wiping the snow off her face, Pei Qin stood up.

"Elder sister!" Pei Wendong and Pei Qian, among others, couldn’t stop their tears of joy.

The crowd below also cheered and shouted, "General Pei! General Pei is alive again!"

"General Pei is the Nine Heavens’ Lady! She cannot be harmed!"
