Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 6

Buyers are determined to win You Guang and raise large sums of money one after another, while sellers claim to be immortals and intend to trick them into handing over their money. However, at this critical juncture, Yingtao cleverly interrupts the seller's string controlling Youguang with a silver needle, causing him to fall and reveal his true identity - it is Hu Sima disguised as Bi Chengye. When Su Wuming saw this, he immediately ordered him to be taken down. Pei Xijun was on the side with a sneer on her face. She had already seen through Hu Sima's disguise and was just waiting for this moment. Hu Sima's face was ashen, shocked and puzzled as to how Su Wuming and others found out his identity.

Su Wuming questioned Hu Sima's weird dress, pointing out that Xiaoyun Tower has free access and many regular customers, but only Liang knew his true appearance, so there must be something fishy in it. Hu Sima smiled bitterly and admitted that he was forced to do this because of his official career. The painting shop was not his fault. There was a huge force behind it and he intended to revive the imperial court. He also hinted that Su Wuming might be able to avoid his death if he knew the truth. However, Su Wuming was more concerned about You Guang's whereabouts and the mastermind behind it. Hu Sima claimed that You Guang was not with him and threatened that everyone would die together if they did not let him go.

On the other side, Qin Xiaobai was kidnapped by Azu. Azu was indignant. After three years of service, he received a cold reception. He wanted to use the power of You Guang to become a legend in the painting world. He even revealed that he was guided by his father's friend, specialized in painting, and painted the murderous devil. Qin Xiaobai was heartbroken when he heard this, and regretted that he should not have taught Azu this way, but instead helped him do evil. In despair and anger, Qin Xiaobai tried to stop Azu from destroying the painting, but was unable to stop it. In the end, Azu accidentally fell and died.

At this time, the princess and the prince falsely stated that they wanted to watch the demon-conquering transformation. Faced with the devastated paintings, the princess was furious. However, Su Wuming and others had arrived quietly. Qin Xiaobai suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to give the demons a nod, but he knew that he had entered the devil's way and was not worthy of this task. After learning about the death, the princess and the prince wanted to leave the scene, but were stopped by Lu Tong. Immediately afterwards, the Buddha statue shook and strange people appeared. The princess urgently ordered Cen Zhi to mobilize his troops, but Cen Zhi remained silent. Su Wuming promptly exposed Cen Zhi's secret operations in the temple for many years and his collusion with the ghost market. As a result, Bi Chengye was bribed and eventually became the devil. An intertwining of intrigue and revenge slowly begins in the ancient temple.

Apparently, the monster was actually transformed by General Ma. After being beheaded due to defeat, he fled back and wanted to find his wife. However, he ran into a private meeting with Lu Lingfeng and turned into a demon out of anger. Lu Lingfeng arrived in time and worked with everyone to contain the monster. Su Wuming used words to awaken General Ma's remaining consciousness and revealed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Feng Han.

The princess's misunderstanding of the emperor gradually dissipated under Su Wuming's explanation. It turned out that the emperor had secretly released his erring subordinates, but unexpectedly he had joined Anlemen, an organization that used You Guang to make portraits for personal gain. Feng Han claimed that he was doing this to repay the emperor's favor, but was blocked by the princess and the prince, and he was angry and planned for Chang'an.

After a brief period of sobriety, General Ma started a fierce fight with Feng Han. In the end, both were injured and died together. Lu Lingfeng witnessed all this from the side, with mixed feelings in his heart. He revealed to Su Wuming that he had unconsciously called the princess "Mother" in a hurry, which made him feel very annoyed and disturbed.

When Su Wuming saw this, although he understood Lu Lingfeng's mood, he did not forget to remind him to pay attention to his words and actions to avoid embarrassment when meeting the prince in the future. When Lu Lingfeng heard this, he was even more frightened, knowing that he must act more cautiously to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the people around him.
