Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 115 Flowers Are Not Flowers, Blades Are Not Blades

Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Ziqing quietly, looking for a chance to take another look at the "Rituals".

After walking two steps, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt heart palpitations. Xu Zhiqiong realized that it was not good, that his real body was in danger!

At the ninth rank, once Xu Zhiqiong possessed the mouse, he would have no sense of his real body.Now at the seventh rank, Xu Zhiqiong's perception has improved.

He ran as fast as he could, sure that he could run back to the inn within twenty breaths.

But Yu Chilan might not even be able to hold ten breaths.

She swung her two swords and slashed in the guest room, but every sword fell through.

It's not that her speed is not fast enough, the speed of the fifth grade of Yin Yang is not as fast as that of the ninth grade of Sha Dao.

The reason why Yu Chilan couldn't hit was because she was now in Tao Huayuan's magic circle, the space was distorted, and the direction of the two swords cutting out did not correspond to the direction seen visually.

Yu Chilan made several moves in a row, Tao Huayuan saw her strength, and with a wave of her hand, a rain of peach blossoms fell.

Each peach petal is a sharp knife, if cut on the body, it will be a bloody mouth, if cut on the throat, the person will die.

The petals fluttered with the wind, and Yu Chilan had nowhere to dodge, waving her two swords to block with all her might.

How many petals can a pair of long swords block?In the blink of an eye, Yu Chilan was dripping with blood.

No matter how good Sha Dao is at fighting, fighting a rank five against rank nine is a crush without any suspense.

Tao Huayuan didn't pay attention to Yu Chilan any more. It won't be long before Yuchilan will be cut into meat paste.

Her target is Xu Zhiqiong.

When he came near Xu Zhiqiong, Tao Huayuan didn't use flower petals, but gold hairpins.

The flower petals take time, and the golden hairpin kills with one blow, and the ruthless people never do unnecessary things.

Seeing the golden hairpin piercing her throat, Yu Chilan rushed over and hugged Xu Zhiqiong tightly.

The gold hairpin stabbed Yu Chilan in the back, but missed Xu Zhiqiong.

The petals were still wrapped around Yu Chilan, and Yu Chilan hugged Xu Zhiqiong tightly, protecting Xu Zhiqiong's vitals.

Tao Huayuan raised the gold hairpin and wanted to kill Yu Chilan first, but then she thought, why hasn't Xu Zhiqiong woke up?

Got a trap?
Tao Huayuan took a few steps back and summoned a flame.

She didn't want to make such a big noise at first, but out of safety, she decided to burn the two people to death.

The flames rushed towards the head of the bed in an instant, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly opened his eyes, and rolled under the bed with Yu Chilan in his arms.

He ran back!
Although the mouse's legs were short, the judge's speed was still there. Xu Zhiqiong fought to the limit and ran back in a little more time.

Yu Chilan exchanged half his life for these ten minutes of time.

The flame chased under the bed, Xu Zhiqiong grabbed the lantern while dodging, and shot a spear dart at Tao Huayuan.

Tao Huayuan dodged the spear, the spell was interrupted, the flame disappeared, and the peach blossoms in the room fell to the ground. In a blink of an eye, Xu Zhiqiong disappeared.

Suddenly, Xu Zhiqiong appeared behind him and slashed at Tao Huayuan's neck with his saber.

Tao Huayuan summoned the flesh and blood puppet ahead of time to block the knife for her, and the flesh and blood puppet's head fell to the ground.

Tao Huayuan was shocked, how could this knife hit the target?
Tao Huayuan's magic circle is still there, and Xu Zhiqiong is also in the twisted space, how could he hit it?
Did he break the magic circle?

Xu Zhiqiong did break the magic circle. "The Enlightenment of the Magic Circle" was not learned in vain. Tao Huayuan's magic circle is not complicated, and it can be broken if it is positioned correctly.

Tao Huayuan didn't have time to think, Xu Zhiqiong raised the knife to his eyes again, and chopped off the flesh and blood puppet in two. Tao Huayuan exchanged positions with the puppet using yin and yang techniques.

Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth, and was escaped by this guy again.

The Yin Yang family is not good at melee combat, but the opponent's level advantage is too great, and the spells are chained, so it is really difficult to deal with. They must take the initiative and crush them to death.

Xu Zhiqiong slashed at him one after another, not giving Tao Huayuan a chance to breathe.

Tao Huayuan frowned, she didn't understand why Xu Zhiqiong shot so fast!

She fought against eunuchs in the palace, and only eunuchs have such speed.

Could it be that Xu Zhiqiong is an eunuch?
Seeing that the knife was about to hit, a huge peach blossom suddenly appeared in front of Tao Huayuan, blocking her whole body. Xu Zhiqiong slashed at the flower stamen, but failed to cut through.

The petals fluttered across Xu Zhiqiong's body, leaving a bloodstain. Tao Huayuan clenched her fist, and the petals flew up with the wind, enveloping Xu Zhiqiong.

It's this trick again, this time the number of petals is several times higher than when he was dealing with Yu Chilan, if he really wants to be wrapped up, Xu Zhiqiong will be shaved until only his bones remain.

But Xu Zhiqiong was not wrapped, and he disappeared again.

What is this means?Eunuchs don't seem to have this ability.

He knows yin and yang?
While thinking about it, Xu Zhiqiong appeared in mid-air, and slashed at the top of Tao Huayuan's head with a knife.

The distance is close enough, the speed is fast enough, Xu Zhiqiong's move is unavoidable, even if he switches positions with the flesh and blood puppet, it is too late.

Before leaving the palace, the sixth princess told Tao Huayuan that Xu Zhiqiong had an eighth-rank cultivation.

She really didn't take Xu Zhiqiong to heart, but she never dreamed that she would be forced to this point by a rank eight.

The blade brushed against the ends of the hair.

Xu Zhiqiong missed.

This is impossible!

How could this knife be cut off?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't understand it at all, until he saw two flesh and blood puppets wriggling on the ground.

This is the fifth grade onmyoji, the ubiquitous onmyoji.

During the battle between Xu Zhiqiong and Tao Huayuan, two puppets were cut off and a new Yin-Yang circle was rearranged.

Is the magic circle complicated?
Nothing complicated.

Xu Zhiqiong could easily resolve it, but he lost the initiative.

Then came the crushing time for Tao Huayuan, peach petals flew from all directions, and the petals were mixed with flames and lightning.

Xu Zhiqiong protected Yu Chilan and dodged with difficulty. Seeing that his life was at stake, a large piece of osmanthus petals suddenly mixed into the peach petals.

Xu Zhiqiong thought this was Tao Huayuan's trick again, and now he just wanted to run for his life with his senior sister in his arms.

But Tao Huayuan was also shocked. She didn't like sweet-scented osmanthus, and she didn't have any spells related to sweet-scented osmanthus.

There are people on the roof, but it is not known where they are hiding.

kill him?

You can't shoot rashly, but you have to guard against Xu Zhiqiong's sneak attack.

While thinking about it, the osmanthus petals fluttered and cut the peach petals into two pieces one by one.

"Flowers are not flowers, blades are not blades,

A flower is a flower, just because a flower has a fragrance,

A sharp blade has fragrance, and a sharp blade can also be a flower,
Smell the fragrance of flowers, it is flowers,

When you smell the fragrance of flowers, you are wounded by sharp knives. "

Someone spoke, and it was also a woman!

Tao Huayuan summoned a thunderbolt to attack the roof, and suddenly felt a burst of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, straight to her throat.

In the throat, a sharp blade was gouged out, and Tao Huayuan spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Zhiqiong also smelled the fragrance of flowers, but did not suffer any harm.

He raised his knife and slashed at Tao Huayuan. Tao Huayuan used the flesh and blood puppet to resist for the last time, and the flesh and blood puppet was completely shattered.

Xu Zhiqiong raised the saber and slashed again. Tao Huayuan held her breath and used the method of yin and yang to avoid the vital point. It was the most reasonable response Tao Huayuan could make.

The wound was not too deep, and Tao Huayuan suddenly felt weak all over.

Oops!His knife is poisonous!
There was no poison on Xu Zhiqiong's knife, it just sucked part of the yin and yang energy from her body.

He only sucked [-]% of it, and he didn't dare to squeeze her dry, for fear that he wouldn't be able to hold her.

However, with a fifth-grade cultivation base and deep aura, this [-]% had reached the limit of the Renmai, and the aura hit the soul, causing Xu Zhiqiong to back up in severe pain all over his body.

Tao Huayuan took the opportunity to summon a flame and burned all the petals of the sweet-scented osmanthus. The flame went up to the beam of the house and hit Xu Zhiqiong directly from the bottom.

Xu Zhiqiong was in a trance, swung his knife and slashed wildly, releasing Yin Qi, and dispersed the flames.

Tao Huayuan turned pale with shock, how could this fellow know Yin Yang?

She didn't dare to fight anymore, she turned around and rushed to the door, Xu Zhiqiong staggered and chased after her.

In the past, he could catch up to her in two steps, but now the yin and yang energy was flying all over his body, and Xu Zhiqiong couldn't even move his legs.

Tao Huayuan did not escape outside the inn, but fled to her room instead.

The corridor was full of people, a fierce battle, within a few dozen breaths, the guests of the inn heard the movement, but before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a woman and a man rushing out covered in blood.

After chasing to Tao Huayuan's room, Tao Huayuan had already activated the magic circle. Xu Zhiqiong couldn't catch up, so he threw a bag of medicinal powder at Tao Huayuan, concentrated his thoughts, and said with a drink: "Medium!"

The medicine powder exploded in the magic circle and disappeared along with Tao Huayuan.

Xu Zhiqiong was lying on the ground, twitching again and again, the innkeeper rushed up, and said with a look of horror: "Master Deng Lang, what happened?"

Xu Zhiqiong struggled to get up, pointed to Tao Huayuan's room and said, "No one can live here for three days."

He was afraid that if the powder remained, it would harm others.

Xu Zhiqiong rushed back to his room and picked up Yuchilan.

There was still a osmanthus petal on the ground, Xu Zhiqiong recognized the fragrance of this osmanthus.

He looked up at the roof, which was empty.

……

"Save people, Qu Dengshou, come and save people!"

Xu Zhiqiong snatched a carriage halfway, and rushed all the way back to the Lantern Yamen.

Qu Jinshan asked someone to carry Yu Chilan down, and hurriedly sent her to the infirmary for treatment.

"What's the matter? Are you hurt so badly?"

"There was a battle, a vicious battle!" While speaking, Xu Zhiqiong twisted his neck, his facial features were tilted from side to side.

Qu Jinshan was stunned and said, "What happened to you?"

Xu Zhiqiong moved his jaw and said, "Don't worry about me, just treat her injuries."

……

In the Mingdeng Pavilion, Jiang Feili glared at Wu Xu: "I said I don't care about this matter, but you still want to care about it. Is the sixth princess easy to provoke?"

Wu Xu sighed and said, "If you don't want to provoke me, I will."

"Your yamen will handle this matter yourself, and my people will never bother with Wu Ziqing again!"

Jiang Feili got up and left, and went to see Yu Chilan in the infirmary.

Yu Chilan woke up, looked at Jiang Feili and said, "Shao Shi, Zhiqiong is not injured, is he?"

"Zhiqiong! Zhiqiong! You're thinking about that bastard! You gave up your life to that heartless man!"

Qu Jinshan said from the side: "Young Shi calm down, it's all flesh and blood wounds."

"Isn't a flesh injury an injury? The injury is so serious that I can't get out of bed for a month! You don't have a good thing in the lamp office!"

Qu Jinshan said with a dry smile: "The old man is still very good."

Jiang Feili called two Tsing Yis and carried Yu Chilan to the Tsing Yi Pavilion.

Wu Xu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "I didn't expect the sixth princess to value Wu Ziqing so much. If you are afraid, I will find someone else to deal with him."

"Don't be afraid!" Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "Since the sixth princess loves him so much, I will let him die once. It will be ugly and ruined, and this will be my revenge!"

While speaking, Xu Zhiqiong's cheeks kept twitching.

"What happened to you?" Wu Xu saw that Xu Zhiqiong also had many wounds on his body, "Did you get poisoned?"

"It shouldn't be a serious problem," Xu Zhiqiong twitched again, "It might be fine after a night's sleep."

Xu Zhiqiong didn't go home that night and slept in the small house all night.

……

In the Department of Yin and Yang, Tai Bu was calculating the formation under the lamp, and the two qi of yin and yang emerged, and Tao Huayuan appeared in front of Tai Bu with bruises all over her body.

Tai Bu frowned and said, "How can you be hurt so badly?"

Tao Huayuan vomited blood and was unable to speak.

Tai Bu summoned a flesh and blood puppet, which concentrated the yin and yang energy and spun back and forth between the puppet and Tao Huayuan.

After a cup of tea, most of the scars on Tao Huayuan's body were transferred to the puppet, and she was able to speak.

Tai Bu asked, "Who hurt you like this?"

Tao Huayuan said slowly: "Xu Zhiqiong, Qingdenglang of Yamen who is in charge of the lamp."

Tai Bu was startled: "Why are you looking for him?"

"At the order of the sixth princess, go and take his life."

While speaking, Tao Huayuan coughed continuously.

Tai Bu said angrily, "Why didn't you report it to me beforehand?"

Tao Huayuan panted, "I thought that killing a Qingdenglang would not take much effort. The Sixth Princess was in a hurry. If I delay, I'm afraid the Sixth Princess will become suspicious."

"Reckless!" Tai Bu blamed, "Xu Zhiqiong is Wu Xu's confidant, if you kill him, how can Wu Xu let it go?"

"I really don't know what Xu Zhiqiong's identity is, let alone that he knows yin and yang, otherwise I would never act recklessly."

"He knows yin and yang?" Tai Bu was stunned, "How could he know yin and yang?"

"I don't know." Tao Huayuan shook her head repeatedly.

"It must be Tong Qingqiu, it must be Tong Qingqiu who introduced him to the rank, but Tong Qingqiu is only at the sixth rank, how can he attract Xu Zhiqiu into the rank, it is possible that he has been promoted..."

While Tai Bu was thinking, Tao Huayuan struggled to get up and said: "Master, I'm going back to the palace, it's too late, I'm afraid the princess will doubt me again."

Tai Bu asked: "Are you sure the prince doesn't have the "Nuzulu"?"

Tao Huayuan said: "The disciple obeyed the master's order and dared not go to the East Palace without permission, but the Sixth Princess and the others did not find out the whereabouts of the "Ancestor of Wrath"."

While speaking, Tao Huayuan coughed out a mouthful of blood foam, and there was a piece of osmanthus petal in it.

Tai Bu took the osmanthus petals and asked, "What is this?"

Tao Huayuan said: "Tonight there is another woman who secretly helped Xu Zhiqiong. She is good at using sweet-scented osmanthus, and her methods are similar to my disciple's. She must also be a yin and yang cultivator, and her cultivation level is not inferior to my disciple's."

"Not under you? There are people like this in the capital?" Tai Bu looked at the osmanthus petals in surprise, shook his head again and again, "This is not a yin and yang magic weapon, but just a piece of ordinary osmanthus."

Tao Huayuan recalled for a long time: "Before she cast the spell, she said something, and my disciple remembered some of it. It seems that flowers are flowers because they have fragrance, and sharp blades become flowers because of their fragrance."

"What's the reason? The sharp blade turned into a flower?" Tai Bu pondered for a long time, then took a breath, "Sophistry, master?"

"What is a celebrity?"

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "It's impossible, famous schools have disappeared more than seven hundred years ago."

Tao Huayuan remained silent.

Tai Bu stared at the petals and said: "This matter must not be known to anyone."

Tao Huayuan remained silent, scratching her body with both hands.

Tai Bu frowned and said, "Have you remembered what I said?"

Tao Huayuan scratched vigorously, and her body was covered with bloodstains again.

"What's wrong with you?"

"The disciple feels that it is extremely itchy!"
