Judge of the Lamp

In a narrow space, without other people intervening, He Shuiling had no way to fight back, and had nowhere to hide. In front of Wu Xu, there was no possibility of escape.

Wu Xu shot his eyes and screamed, and He Shuiling was instantly wiped out. From the body, to the soul, and then to the primordial spirit, it was completely wiped out.

Back then when Wu Xu was still at the third rank, his Sky Screaming Extinguisher skill was not enough to kill Xing Yuan'e Xing.

Now that he was about to be promoted to Xingxiu, the same blow did not leave He Shuiling with the slightest chance of resurrection.

Wu Xu collected some dust, packed it in a kit, and handed it to He Fang.

There was no disappointment in He Fang's eyes, on the contrary, there was a bit of relief: "In the future, I will buy her a tomb of clothes, and I don't owe her anything in terms of etiquette."

Tao Huayuan said comfortingly: "Sister, if you feel uncomfortable, tell your sister."

"One thing is really uncomfortable," He Fang said in a low voice, "My sister has a mole on her left conscience, right next to the blush, I wiped that mole off on purpose, why didn't you let... "

Tao Huayuan covered He Fang's mouth: "Why don't you know what to do, girl!"

Yang Wu stepped forward and said, "Qianhu, why are you here!"

Wu Xu smiled and said: "Something happened in the Western Regions, I can't stay any longer, and I'll go back to Daxuan to avoid it, and I happened to meet Princess Fanghua."

He Fang smiled and said, "I also saw that Mrs. Xin Chu's face was radiant, and Jiang Shaoshi was in a good mood, so I knew that Wu Qianhu had returned home."

Wu Xu smiled without saying a word.

"What happened to the Western Regions?" Yang Wu asked with concern.

Wu Xu shook his head: "Let's not hurry up and discuss this matter with Zhiqiong."

Yang Wu nodded and said, "I'm also looking for Zhiqiong, let's leave now!"

"It's not the time yet," Wu Xu looked around, "I don't want to stay here for a long time, the old man who is the culprit is still watching, I must feel very distressed."

After speaking, Wu Xu asked He Fang to open the door, and quickly left the painting city.

Now is indeed not the time, and the gaze of the sinner has not disappeared.

Ling Han looked at the scar on his face in the mirror, and waited for the sun to slowly set.

……

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Big Snake was still waiting for news, but there was no response from his ear.

After smashing a few rocks, the big snake didn't wait any longer and charged into Liangjiezhou.

He finally heard the old voice: "The Punishment Department has many enemies, I can't send you any helpers, if you die, I may not be able to bring you back to life."

Between the dense fog, the big snake kept wandering in the open wasteland of the two realms.

……

Xu Zhiqiong and Li Shabai sat in front of the gate of the Department of Punishment for a whole night.

The two sat around a soup pot, added a few cold dishes, and drank two jars of good wine, enjoying themselves.

They are not worried that the big snake will come, because today's punishment department has made sufficient preparations.

Gongshu Ban has made defenses at the top of the city, Wu Si, Jiang Mengyun, and Xu Rishu have also made preparations for battle, and the other five stars of Ming Dao have also arrived.

They came this time not to deal with Wu Si, but to make peace with Wu Si under Jiang Mengyun's mediation.

They hated Wu Si's brutality back then, but if the dominant consciousness was not Wu Si, but a big snake, the survival of all the stars in the underworld would face serious challenges.

Waiting until dawn, although Li Shabai felt the coercion, even though he didn't wait for the big snake, he still stepped up his guard.

When that person approached with coercion, Li Shabai's heart trembled.

Not scared, but throbbing.

How could there be such a beautiful person in the world!
In front of her, even the stunningly beautiful Canrou XingXiu is not enough to look at.

"This fairy, has Li met you somewhere?"

Ling Han took a look at Li Shabai, and smiled slightly: "Painter Li, I did meet a few times back then, but I forgot whether it was an enemy or a friend."

Li Shabai shook his head again and again and said: "How can I be an enemy of the fairy? If the fairy does not give up, come to my painting workshop to tell."

Ling Han smiled: "I'm afraid I can't go to the painter's studio. I've heard many women say that when they went to your studio, they were not allowed to wear clothes."

Li Shabai's eyebrows turned into an upside-down horoscope: "Who is fouling my innocence! Li never pushes others!"

Ling Han smiled, didn't say any more, and turned to Xu Zhiqiong: "Do you still have scars on my face?"

Xu Zhiqiong leaned over and saluted: "Sister-in-law's face is clean, delicate and flawless, there are indeed no scars on her face, but you can't see her body yet..."

Ling Han kicked Xu Zhiqiong: "That old bastard can't see us anymore, let's find a place to talk about business."

"Sister-in-law, how can you predict the time when the culprit will watch?"

"In order to save Xue Yun, I sacrificed to Chaos with my flesh and blood, and left behind a little power of Chaos. I didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect on divination.
In fact, I should have thought a long time ago that the avatar of chaos can always divinate the secret of the sinner regardless of personality, but I didn't expect that this residual power could also be used by me. "

Speaking of the chaotic avatar, Xu Zhiqiong was about to find Jiuniang.

Ling Han nodded and said: "Call them to the Punishment Division, it's time for us to fight back!"

Li Shabai said from the side: "Fairy, in fact, when you come to my painting workshop, you can paint with clothes on."

Ling Han shook his head and said: "Don't even think about it, I'm just waiting for my man!"

Xu Zhiqiong brought Ling Han and Li Shabai to the Department of Punishment. Before Jiuniang arrived, they still had one important thing to do.

All the stars in Ming Dao want to sign a contract with Wu Si.

Niu Jinniu said: "We also don't want to associate with criminals and others, we are really forced to do nothing!"

The female earth bat said: "No matter what happens in the future, we can't hurt our lives because of discord."

Wu Si didn't make a sound.

Jiang Mengyun frowned, looked around everyone and said: "They all have tens of thousands of years of cultivation, and they have to have face when they speak, so they are ashamed!

Don't you guys know why Fourth Master killed Dou Muxie in the first place? Now that it's hard to explain clearly in front of outsiders, you still have the audacity to ask for evidence! "

Shihuozhu didn't make a sound, it seemed that things were really not easy to talk about.

Bi Shuiyu laughed dryly and said, "We also have difficulties."

Jiang Mengyun looked contemptuous: "If there is any difficulty, you can tell it and listen!"

Niu Jinniu said: "It's nothing to dare to say, the fourth master's treatment of meritorious service is unfair, I have confiscated meritorious service for so many years!"

Jiang Mengyun said: "Your cultivation base has already reached the peak of rank, and it is useless to give you meritorious deeds. If you improve your cultivation base, it depends on your own good fortune!"

The female earth bat said: "That's not what you said. We took the cultivation base and used it to reward the subordinates. What's wrong?"

Jiang Mengyun strived: "When we established the Daomen in Ming Dao, this is the rule. Except for the fourth master, no one else can distribute meritorious deeds!"

Wei Yueyan said: "This rule should be changed. With today's cultivation, our status is not as good as a ghost emperor!"

Listening to their dispute, Xu Zhiqiong got a general idea.

There are two sources of meritorious service for meditators, one is obtained according to their duties, and the other is obtained according to their merits.

The so-called acquisition according to duty is similar to that of a judge. The underworld collects the souls of the dead, and those who have more than two inches of crimes suffer in the prison, and those who have less than two inches are directly sent to reincarnation.

Those who work in prisons, such as prisons and punishments, usually work as much as they do, and how many criminals they deal with, they will get as many merits.

The capital officials of the sixth rank escorted the souls of the dead to the Naihe Bridge. As long as there were no mistakes, don't send the villains to a good place, and they would also give meritorious service according to the number of dead souls.

The impermanence of the fifth rank also has meritorious service in hooking away wandering souls in the mortal world.

The fourth rank Yan Jun maintains the normal operation of the Yan Luo Temple, and also has meritorious service.

One side of the ghost emperor, one side of the Yin Division peace, also has meritorious service.

The meritorious service in duty is directly distributed by Emperor Huanshu. The rules are very strict, and no one should try to take more.

But above the ghost emperor, that is, star officials and above, they no longer participate in the operation of the Yin Division, and Emperor Huanshu no longer rewards them with meritorious service.

No matter how they want to improve their cultivation base, they don't rely on meritorious deeds, they have to rely on practice, which is similar to the refinement of meritorious deeds when judges are at the fifth rank.

Just because you don't rely on merit, it doesn't mean that you don't need merit. Just like Judge Dao, merit is hard currency in the hands of meditators.

After Xu Zhiqiong was promoted to the fifth rank, he still had a lot of meritorious deeds in his hands. It was because of the inventory that he was able to reward and punish his subordinate judges.

The most obvious ones are Xia Hu and Zhao Baijiao. They were both promoted officials before, but because Xia Hu was taken care of by Xu Zhiqiong, they have now become fourth-rank doctors who appreciate goodness. , the difference is obvious.

Cultivators of the second rank and above have no merits to receive in terms of duty. There is only one way for them to obtain merits, and that is to receive rewards according to their contributions to the Taoism.

The person in charge of distributing the rewards is Xuanwu True God. He has a lot of meritorious deeds in his hands, which were donated by Emperor Huanshu.

However, when True God Xuanwu gave meritorious service, he was more inclined to the lower class. For an ordinary errand who made meritorious service, True God Xuanwu rewarded hundreds of thousands of rewards. For a star official who made meritorious service, True God Xuanwu thought it was a matter of his duty, but rewarded him instead. not much.

After reaching the first floor of Xingxiu, there will be basically no rewards, because in the eyes of True God Xuanwu, as Xingxiu, doing things for the Taoist sect is justified!

There are no rewards and no responsibilities, which means that Xingxiu has no source of meritorious service, and has no capital to reward and punish his subordinates.

This caused a strange phenomenon in Ming Dao, the ghost emperor responded to all calls, and no one paid attention to the stars.

If there is no meritorious service, you have to find a way to get some meritorious service. Some Xingxiu and star officials will obtain meritorious service by cooperating with the ghost emperor, but this seems a bit embarrassing, as if Xingxiu is working for the ghost emperor.

Over time, the stars began to find another way out.

When Xuanwu established the country, a battle of gods broke out. Xue Yun defeated Zhuwu and Taotie, sealed them in the Yin Division, and handed them over to the Xuanwu True God for custody.

True God Xuanwu scattered and kept the 梼杌 and Taotie in various places.

During the reign of Emperor Zhaoxing, Dou Muxie had contact with the Nufu Sect, and secretly released the remnant soul of Taotie from the seal of the Yin Division, and sold it to the Nufu Sect, in exchange for a lot of meritorious service.

And this remnant soul changed hands several times through Jiao Liewei, Du Chunze, Long Xiulian and others, and finally got into the hands of Emperor Zhaoxing, which became a great disaster.

True God Xuanwu was furious for this and severely punished Dou Muxie.

The matter should have ended here, but it was unexpected that after more than ten years, Doumu Xie sold Taotie's outer body again, and this outer body fell into the hands of Sui Zhi, causing disaster in the world again.

Wu Si was injured in order to repair the seal, and he did not blame Dou Muxie too much on the surface at that time.

Afterwards, Xuanwu Zhenshen learned that Dou Muxie had also sold the remnant soul of Wuwu, and this time he couldn't bear it anymore.

Dou Muxie saw that Xuanwu Zhenshen didn't attack, and thought that the matter was over again, but Wu Sizang took advantage of Dou Muxie's slack and found an excuse to kill Dou Muxie.

This action angered a group of stars, they secretly released Zhuwu and Taotie, and severely injured Xuanwu True God in Liangjie Prefecture.

Xuanwu True God Yuanshen was beaten to split, a small portion of consciousness was left to the big snake, and a large portion of consciousness was left to Fourth Master.

The combat power is just the opposite, the big snake has won a large share, and Wu Si has very little left.

In desperation, Wu Si was forced to seek refuge in the land abandoned by the gods, and accidentally became a ninth-rank judge.

From their debate, Xu Zhiqiong solved many doubts, but there was one question that confused him.

Here, it seems that there is still nothing wrong...

Why do you always mix Qiongqi with those two evil spirits?
As he was thinking about it, Fourth Master Wu, who had been silent all this time, said, "Our Daoism and Judge's Way are interdependent. How to decide on this matter depends on what Judge's Way stands for."

All eyes were on Xu Zhiqiong.

Niu Jinniu snorted coldly and said, "A junior, does he have the qualifications?"
