Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 1022 Constellation Palace

The True God Suzaku left, leaving Xu Zhiqiong to think hard in the temple alone.

Some things need to be digested slowly, and some things cannot be answered yet.

Did she really lower her personality to Weishen?
If the culprit finds her, will he forcibly elevate her status and make her a true god, replacing Nuzu's position?
What is the extraterrestrial power that the sinner gave her?
What is the contradiction between Shengke and Shuangsu?
How did Xue Yun defeat Emperor Huanshu back then?Judging from Suzaku's description, the strength of Emperor Huanshu at that time was not at the same level as Xue Yun's.

There must be many secrets involved in this, some of which Suzaku knows about, and some of which she doesn't.

These mysteries are important, but now is not the time to delve into these things.

What Xu Zhiqiong needs to think about is how to guard the temple in the next few days.

If you hear a voice of unknown origin, try not to respond.

If you must respond, try not to make any promises.

If you must make a promise, don't make the promise into a business.

It sounds easy, but these three rules are not so easy to follow, because Xu Zhiqiong doesn't know when and how the culprit will appear.

Xu Zhiqiong got into the bunk, only to feel tired.

He put the bad puppet outside the sleeping bunk, and specially reminded Ye Ansheng: "No matter what you hear, wake me up first, and then deal with it."

At noon the next day, Xu Zhiqiong received Jiu Niang's call, and quickly let her in with a black skull.

"A silver mirror for dressing up, smiling at the hairpin, half covering the veil and asking the gentleman if the lady is pretty!" Jiu Niang sang a ditty, and she seemed to be in a good mood today.

Xu Zhiqiong took a sip of the wine, pulled off a chicken leg, tasted it, and repeatedly praised: "This taste is unusual."

Jiuniang smiled and said, "I smoked this with a secret method. I'm an expert at eating chicken. I change it every day without repeating it. You can eat it for ten or eight years!"

Xu Zhiqiong curled his lips and said, "You've blown away the cowhide."

Jiuniang straightened her expression and said: "Don't worry about other things, I really have to gamble with you to the end on this matter, as long as you are still in this temple, I will deliver food to you every day, regardless of other food, this chicken, I promise It doesn’t repeat the same food every day, and it also ensures that you can eat happily every day.”

Xu Zhiqiong became serious when he heard the words, took out his mask and said, "This was made by the remnant soul of Wuwu, let's put it here today as a bet!"

Jiuniang was taken aback, blinked her eyes and said, "You really paid for it!"

Xu Zhiqiong's expression was very serious: "Since it is said that we must gamble, we can't play games, and you will give me a chicken a day for the time I keep the temple as a deadline. If the taste is not the same, this mask will be given to you. gone."

Jiu Niang was a little embarrassed for a while.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Why? Scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid," Jiu Niang said after thinking for a moment, "You're betting too much, I don't have anything of comparable value here."

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "So, you bet a tail!"

Jiu Niang glared at her eyes, and spat, "You shameless! Why do you want my tail?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Make a scarf in winter, it will be warmer, are you betting or not?"

Jiuniang looked at the 梼杌 mask in Zhiqiong's hand, she knew how precious it was.

After thinking for a while, Jiu Niang gritted her teeth and said, "It's a bet!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Pull down the dress, Taozi is up, I will pick a tail."

Jiu Niang covered Tao Zi and said, "Choose now?"

Xu Zhiqiong handed the mask to Jiu Niang: "Let me choose now, and the mask will be put on yours first, you won't suffer."

"Give me the mask now?" Jiu Niang was frightened, feeling that there was nothing so good.

But after looking at the mask, he couldn't bear to part with this good business.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiuniang gritted her teeth, raised the peach, and pulled down her dress.

Xu Zhiqiong carefully selected, found a golden tail, shook it and said, "This is the one I want."

Jiu Niang lifted up her dress, snorted and said, "If I lose the bet, what if you really want to cut it off?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a grim expression, "That must be cut!"

Jiuniang sighed and said, "Perhaps you have bullied me a lot. I don't even blush when I'm naked in front of you. How can I look like an upright woman?"

"It's okay, the peach is red just now, I saw it."

Jiu Niang punched Xu Zhiqiong, and after playing for a while, Jiu Niang sang a ditty again: "When you dress up in the silver mirror, you smile on the hairpin..."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "What is it that made you so happy?"

"I'm going to see..." Jiuniang hesitated to speak, stuck out her tongue, and didn't continue.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "You went to see the God of Obedience, right? There's nothing you can't say."

Jiuniang said: "I heard from the God of Judgment that your master and apprentice are not in harmony, so I dare not mention him in front of you."

"How is he?" Xu Zhiqiong took a sip of his wine.

"Woke up, and said that I had a strange dream, and I don't remember many things."

"I don't remember a lot of things, does he still remember me?"

Jiuniang said cautiously: "He asked about you, I said you went to the temple, he was very worried, I said bring him to see, but he refused..."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about the things that make you happy."

Jiu Niang said with a smile on her face: "My star palace is about to ascend, and Yu Duo invited Gongshu Ban from the gods, and the last technique has been completed!"

Xu Zhiqiong asked in amazement: "Using engineering methods, can you fly up?"

Jiuniang sighed: "If you don't use construction techniques, you have to accumulate divinity, but you don't know how long you will accumulate it."

"Where does your star palace come from?" Xu Zhiqiong asked a question he was very concerned about.

"My master taught me to build it. The material and size of each piece of wood were taught by my master. As for why I chose this way, I don't know the reason."

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "When you meet Gongshuban, tell him that I have a business and I want to talk to him."

……

Daxuan capital, imperial palace, secret pavilion.

Han Chen presented a human head to Emperor Changle.

Use it when it should be used, and kill it when it should be killed. Emperor Chang Le's attitude towards Liang Yushen is very clear, and he is very firm in his execution.

After Liang Yushen settled down for a while, he began to jump repeatedly, challenging Liang Yuyang's bottom line.

He first asked the imperial court to increase the number of Canglong Guards and expand the Canglong Palace on the grounds that the number of Canglong Guards had increased.

The Canglong Hall should indeed be expanded, but it is impossible to add gifts. Emperor Changle has other ways to raise money, but it is not Liang Yushen's turn to intervene in this matter.

Liang Yushen supported several ministers and wanted to join the cabinet.

It is Canglongwei's taboo to reach out to the cabinet, and the witnesses and evidences are convincing, this is his own death.

This time, Liang Yuyang didn't give him a chance, and directly gave Han Chen a secret decree, asking Han Chen to gather experts from the Onmyoji Department to cooperate with Liang Jixiong and other Canglong Guards to arrest Liang Yushen.

In case of confrontation, it doesn't matter if they are shot or killed, Liang Yuyang has murderous intentions, and there is no room for relaxation.

Seeing Liang Yushen's head, Emperor Changle was very satisfied with the result, promoted Han Chen's official position, and gave the Onmyoji Department a large reward.

Liang Jixiong was also very satisfied with the performance of the Onmyoji Division, and suggested expanding the scale of the Onmyoji Division and giving the Onmyoji Division a higher status.

Han Chen has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he knows what kind of behavior he should have on any occasion, even if he feels unhappy, he has to hide it.

But he couldn't hide it today, with worry written all over his face.

Emperor Chang Le didn't point it out face to face, after Han Chen left, he discussed with Liang Jixiong: "Han Dabu has a lot of things on his mind, is it brooding over the past?"

Liang Jixiong was also a little worried: "Let's wait for two days, and I will have a private chat with Han Dabu."

Emperor Chang Le sighed: "Persuasion more, don't threaten, Han Dabu has indeed suffered a lot of grievances."

Does Han Chen really remember the past?

This underestimated his character.

He was preoccupied because he felt that Liang Yushen was different from before.

He knew that Liang Yushen's cultivation was above the mortal world, so to be on the safe side, Han Chen made careful arrangements when killing Liang Yushen, and even invited Li Shabai to help him.

But the facts proved that all Han Chen's preparations were a little redundant. He only used the triple magic circle to take Liang Yushen's life, and Liang Yushen's death was indeed very thorough.

It's not right, no matter how you think about it.

After leaving the palace, Han Chen went to Li Qi Teahouse.

Li Shabai is painting, and he is engraving the scene of two battles with Liang Yushen.

Once was the battle to kill him.

The other time was a sacrificial ceremony in front of the Canglong Temple.

Han Chen looked at each scroll carefully, pointing out the omissions one by one. After finishing the last scroll, the two came to the same conclusion.

The person they killed was not Liang Yushen, at least not the Liang Yushen they were familiar with.

Li Shabai said: "Liang Yushen is a master of the Dao of Impermanence. On the day he was killed, he never used a single technique of the Dao of Impermanence."

He Fang said: "Could it be because the master and Han Dabu shot too quickly and didn't give him a chance to fight back. The impermanence cultivator's perception is not good enough, and it is reasonable to react too late."

Han Chen shook his head and said: "Liang Yushen should have a second-rank cultivation. It is extremely difficult to kill a star official. I am ready to fight him. The first magic circle is just a test. At that time, Li Painter also No killer."

Li Shabai nodded and said: "At that time, he was able to stabilize the situation even if he used the technique of confusing chaos. I didn't expect that he used his arrogance to forcefully carry the first magic circle, so that he could no longer fight back. , is far from it."

Han Chen frowned tightly and said, "This Liang Yushen must be a replacement, so where is the real Liang Yushen?"

Li Shabai looked at He Fang, and blinked meaningfully.

……

In the Canglong Temple, the True God Canglong, who had recovered [-]% of his combat power, sat on the throne and silently looked at the Constellation Kang Jinlong under the temple.

Kang Jinlong stood on the main hall for half an hour, and every time he sucked was a torment for him.

He knew that the true god sitting on the throne was not the same as usual.

To be precise, it is very similar to the true god more than 700 years ago, but not the same as the true god in the past 700 years.

True God Canglong finally spoke: "There is a person in Daxuan who pretends to be the first captain in the Canglong Hall, do you know?"

Kang Jinlong said: "My subordinates heard that this person was killed by Yin Yang Division two months ago."

True God Canglong looked at Kang Jinlong expressionlessly: "Do you think the one who was killed was a fake?"

"This subordinate thinks, this subordinate..." Kang Jinlong didn't know how to answer for a while, the True God Canglong seemed to know everything.

True God Canglong laughed lightly and said: "Go and get her head back, if you really can't get it back, bring your own head back, and don't make me wait too long, or I will take your head off."

Kang Jinlong's cheeks twitched, he leaned over and saluted, "I obey."

"There is one more matter for you to deal with. How many star officials in the Taoist sect have the surname Liang?"

Kang Jinlong did not answer directly: "This subordinate will call the stars to count."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome," True God Canglong laughed again, "Call them all to the temple, and I will count them myself."
