Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 126

In the afternoon, Xu Zhiqiong found Niu Yuxian, gave him Yang Wu's birthday, and asked him to help him make a spiritual tablet.

Niu Yuxian was puzzled: "Yang Wu's tomb is just outside the city, what kind of spirit do you give him?"

Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "Brother, let's put it at home for a few days, and occasionally send him some joss paper money."

Niu Yuxian was not a talkative person at all, Xu Zhiqiong wanted it, so he made it, the spirit piece was made with the effort of a cup of tea, it was very delicate.

Xu Zhiqiong took out the loose change, but Niu Yuxian refused: "It's my heart to work together anyway."

Xu Zhiqiong took the spiritual tablet and went to the Wang Family Paper Horse Shop next to Fengle Building, which is the largest offering shop in Daxuan Capital, and Yang Wu called for the items here.

The paper horses made by the Wang family are really exquisite. If you don't touch the paper people, paper horses, and paper clothes, you won't be able to tell the real from the fake.

Moreover, the offerings here were burnt without leaving paper ashes, and it is said that they were directly taken away by ghosts.

Xu Zhiqiong bought two paper figurines, a paper horse, and two paper clothes, and asked the boss to send them home. Then he went to Sun's Fragrance Pharmacy and bought ten yuan of high-quality sandalwood.

After buying these things, Xu Zhiqiong burst into tears.

With dozens of pennies left in his pocket, he returned to his poor days as a student.

It's too worthless to buy this service!

Back home, paper figurines and paper horses were also delivered. Xu Zhiqiong held Yilang's seal and carried a bunch of things, as if walking alone, back to Yilangyuan.

He landed in the front yard, but heard a voice in the main yard, Yang Wu's voice.

"Come on, sit down."

This kid is quite attentive, he is practicing.

"Can you say that?"

There are people!
On the first day of becoming Yilang, how could someone come here!

Xu Zhiqiong was startled, and rushed into the main courtyard, only to see Xia Hu playing with Yang Wu in the courtyard.

"I'll listen to you if you say something else, don't be shy, why are you always avoiding me?"

Yang Wu was naked, huddled in the corner of the wall, covering his hands with both hands, almost crying.

It turned out to be an old friend, Xu Zhiqiong let out a sigh of relief, and invited Xia Hu into the main room.

Xia Hu sneered and said, "You are so bold, you dared to leave your post on the first day you took office."

"My what, not that...how did you find this place?"

For Xu Zhiqiong to enter Yilangyuan, he only needs to have the appearance of a lonely shadow walking alone, but for others to enter, he must have the key to open the door.

The Taoist priest left in a hurry without telling Xu Zhiqiong in detail, even Xu Zhiqiong himself didn't know the key to open the door, how could Xia Hu find it?

Xia Hu laughed and said, "We haven't seen Yilang from our Daoist sect for more than a year, and the Department of Punishment posted a notice, which has already spread."

"Do you still need to post a notice on this matter? I have been to the Punishment Department so many times, why have I never seen such a notice?"

"Didn't I say that you haven't been out of Yilang for more than a year, and you've only been a judge for a few days? It's me who came this time. You're lucky. If the Minister of Punishment comes, or Feng Shaoqing, see You leave your post without authorization, but some of you suffer!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Hu poked Xu Zhiqiong's forehead with his finger, and Xu Zhiqiong gently touched Xia Hu's little hand.

Xia Hu quickly withdrew her hand and said angrily, "I will find food when we meet, but I will never come to you again!"

Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his hands together and said, "I didn't know you were coming, but I didn't even prepare some cold fruit drinks."

"Face!" Xia Hu smiled, "I just bought a servant, and I think you must have a hard time. I have some food here, so you can take it."

Xia Hu took out a basket of pears, a basket of mulberries and a basket of eggs from a pocket.

These were supposed to be sold, but they were all given to Xu Zhiqiong.

He was usually used to being intimate with Xia Hu, but when he thought about it carefully, Xu Zhiqiong really didn't give her anything except a jasmine, but he took a lot of advantage when buying eggs.

In the past, the playfulness was all for business, but this time, she was sincerely treating Xu Zhiqiong.

"In this way, I feel that I owe you." Xu Zhiqiong was a little ashamed in front of Xia Hu for the first time.

"What are you talking about? As if you really have a conscience."

Xia Hu lowered her head and smiled slightly, while Xu Zhiqiong stared at the beauty.

After staring for a long time, Xia Hu felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help biting her lip.

This is not Judgment Pavilion, this is Yilang Court.

This is a deep house compound, no one disturbs around.

Looking at it this way, something may have happened.

The lady officer has been calling for so long, is something really going to happen?

Xia Hu took off the mask, but her face was redder than a cherry.

Everyone is ready, shouldn't we have a kiss?
If you don't kiss, isn't it impolite?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Xia Hu's face and was about to kiss her when he heard Yang Wu outside the door shouting, "Come on, sit down!"

Who else is coming?
One shouted, "Is Ma Yilang there?"

Xia Hu was startled, and quickly hid aside. Just as Xu Zhiqiong was about to open the door, Xia Hu took the first step and put the mask on Xu Zhiqiong.

"The Daoist sect has the rules of the Daoist sect, you can't show your true face to others."

Xu Zhiqiong pushed the door and came to the yard, but saw a man standing at the door, with a mask on his face, about seven feet nine inches in length, a little shorter than Xu Zhiqiong, thin and thin, with a beard on his chin.

"Who are you?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Xue Mingyun, my style name is Bugao, and I'm an eight-rank guidebook. I'm here to stay overnight with Ma Yilang!"

"And wait in the yard!"

Xu Zhiqiong closed the door, ready to deal with serious business first, Xia Hu said from the side: "Arrange a place for him first, don't let him go."

"Let's just go, he came to stay for the night, and he didn't pay the rent, so why should I keep him?"

Xia Hu shook her head and said, "You don't understand. It's the duty of criticizing Yi Lang to stay with the same family. If he stays for one night, you can earn a meritorious service."

Can this also earn merit?

No wonder Cao Yilang agreed so happily when Xu Zhiqiong stayed overnight.

"What about a meritorious service? Do I care about that one meritorious service? Let's do business."

"Are you in a hurry?" Xia Hu twisted Xu Zhiqiong's peach, and Xu Zhiqiong rubbed it for a while.

"Slut, you are presumptuous!"

"Go quickly!"

Xu Zhiqiong walked out of the main room, and the man named Xue Yun was still standing at the door.

Using the pupil of crime karma to see, this person is indeed an eighth-rank cultivation base.

"Why did you come to stay with me?"

Xue Yun said: "I am unstable in business matters. I missed my job. I was chased and killed by a villain. I really have nowhere to go. Today I saw the notice in the Punishment Department and remembered your key to open the door, so I wanted to come here." Hide away."

"Let's go to Xikuayuan to rest!" Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask much, and Cao Yilang didn't ask too much when he stayed overnight, so it must be the right way to deal with him.

"Xie Yilang!" Xue Yun went to Xikuanyuan, and Xu Zhiqiong returned to the room.

Xia Hu scolded Xu Zhiqiong a few words: "It's not easy for us to cultivate at the seventh rank, so we must be careful when dealing with things. Since this person was hunted down, you should help him escape. If you don't keep him, he will be murdered by the wicked. You will be punished!"

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "You really have to be cautious."

Xia Hu said: "I don't know much about Yilang's job, and the practice of this job is all on my own, but I still know a little about the basics of Taoism.

Right and wrong, judge all kinds of right and wrong, especially judges below the sixth grade who have done something wrong or violated the rules, they will come to the right and wrong to make a ruling. If you believe that the judge has really done something wrong, you will issue a paper of punishment . "

"What is a penalty book?"

"It is to write down the cause and effect of the incident, and write clearly how much merit he was punished. At the end, write the word "punishment", stamp it with Yilang's seal, and then send this punishment letter to the punishment department. The judge will naturally be punished. [-]% of your merits are yours,
If this judge commits an unforgivable crime, you can also use the Yilang seal directly on his head to invalidate his meritorious deeds, and [-]% of the meritorious deeds he has accumulated in his life will belong to you. "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "What if this person did nothing wrong?"

"Then you have to issue a pardon letter, which also states the cause and effect. Write a pardon at the end, stamp it with Yilang's seal, and hand it to the offender's judge, and let him send it to the criminal justice. As long as the sentence is correct, then you You will also be rewarded."

"If this person does the right thing, what should he be rewarded for?"

"Then write a reward book, write a reward at the end, and ask that person to send it to the Department of Rewarding Goodness. I don't know the rules of the Department of Rewarding Goodness. This matter must be more cautious. Whether it is wrong punishment, pardon, or reward , are all serious crimes, you can't bear it!"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time and said, "If I do something right, can I write a reward for myself?"

For example, kill Qin Changmao.

Xia Hu punched Xu Zhiqiong: "You really know how to take advantage of loopholes. You can't judge right and wrong for yourself. This is the rule, so don't dare to mess around!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Remember it."

"Did you really write it down?" Xia Hu blushed again.

"Really remember!" Xu Zhiqiong wanted to kiss again.

The two got closer and looked at each other silently. The atmosphere became more and more intense, and suddenly Xia Hu shivered.

"What happened?"

"Someone is coming to my court!"

Xu Zhiqiong looked up to the sky and sighed, looking depressed.

Xia Hu wasn't feeling well either. She was anxious, but she couldn't bear to leave.

A seventh-rank judge cannot leave his post without permission. This is a major event and cannot be delayed.

Xia Hu was reluctant to let go, and asked again: "Yilangyuan, like the Division of Punishment, is located at the junction of Yin and Yang. There are many different kinds of people here, extremely vicious, and there are many judges in the Division of Punishment. They don't dare to do anything. Yilangyuan only has judges. Alone, you must be careful!"

Xu Zhiqiong was surprised: "What is a different kind?"

"There are grievous souls that linger for years, and demons that are intertwined with turbidity. In short..." Xia Hu trembled again, and someone called repeatedly in the Judgment Pavilion.

We can't delay any longer, or we'll be ruined.

Xu Zhiqiong took off the mask and put it on Xia Hu: "Be careful on the road."

Xia Hu nodded, turned around a few times, and disappeared.

Xu Zhiqiong went to the yard, Yang Wu was still huddled in the yard, with a face of shame and indignation, "Did you buy the clothes?"

Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Are you still justified? You are a servant, and I am a servant?"

Yang Wu lowered his head and dared not make a sound, Xu Zhiqiong carried the paper man, paper horse, and paper clothes in from the front yard.

Yang Wu's face was full of joy, seeing Xu Zhiqiong set up the memorial tablet, he rushed on it.

A cloud of black air lingered on the tablet, and there was a connection between the tablet and the dead soul.

Yang Wu urged: "Give me the clothes first."

Xu Zhiqiong burned a paper garment for him, and the paper garment turned into paper ashes, flying everywhere.

Don't you say no paper ashes?Is this cheated by them?
Xu Zhiqiong was feeling annoyed, but he saw that the paper ashes had attached to Yang Wu's black energy, turning into a suit of clothes, the material of which looked almost the same as silk and satin.

"My father once said that the things made by Wang's paper horse shop are genuine. Look at the clothes, but they are better than those I wore when I was alive."

Xu Zhiqiong sneered: "You are well dressed, so you know how expensive this paper dress is!"

Yang Wu put on his clothes and walked around a few times, walked two steps, complacent for a long time, but felt hungry again.

"Zhiqiong, burn some incense for me!"

Xu Zhiqiong burned a piece of sandalwood in front of the memorial tablet, Yang Wu took a deep breath and said, "This taste is much better than those eaten in the underworld!"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "Is it just that it tastes good? Do you know how much a piece of sandalwood is? If I had known earlier, I would buy some for you at the paper horse shop!"

After burning a piece of sandalwood, Yang Wu was full, and begged Xu Zhiqiong to burn him a paper horse.

The paper horse turned into ashes, stained with the black energy on Yang Wu's body, and turned into a real horse!
Not only does it look lifelike, the horse can also move. Yang Wu rode on the paper horse and ran around the yard excitedly.

This cannot be explained by solid skills, Xu Zhiqiong smelled the smell of yin and yang in this paper horse.

There is an onmyoji in the paper horse shop of the Wang family.

Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "You come down first!"

Yang Wu got off the horse obediently, and Xu Zhiqiong walked up to the paper horse, wanting to get on it for a ride.

Yang Wu hurriedly stopped Xu Zhiqiong: "I can't ride!"

"You can ride it, why can't I ride it?" Xu Zhiqiong pushed Yang Wu away, and as soon as he got on the paper horse, the paper horse immediately turned into paper ashes, and Xu Zhiqiong fell hard to the ground.

What's the point!
Yang Wu touched the paper ashes on the ground, and said with a dejected expression: "Just say you can't ride, if you don't believe me, now even I can't ride."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "It was only then that I felt that the horse's muscles and bones were strong, and it fell apart!"

"It was originally made of paper ashes," Yang Wudao said, "I rode it, and with the ghost aura on my body, I can move. You don't have ghost aura, so he can't move. You are too heavy, and the paper ashes are also crushed. .”

Xu Zhiqiong understood the truth.

The offerings at the Wangjia Paper Horse Shop are mixed with yin and yang techniques. After the offerings are burned, the spells are released, and the paper ashes disappear visually. In fact, they are attached to the ghostly aura of ghosts.

Normal ghosts can't see, and paper ash can't be seen, so burning paper leaves no ash.

But Yang Wu came out of the slave ghost jade, and belonged to a ghost with a substance. The ghost energy can be seen, and the paper ashes can also be seen.

From this point of view, the paper horse cannot move by itself, it is driven by ghost energy.

In other words, Yang Wu is not riding a horse, but riding himself.

Yang Wu disagreed with this: "Although it is driven by my ghost energy, it can run faster than my two legs!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled, thinking it was a bicycle.

What about the two paper men?

Two pretty girls.

Xu Zhiqiong said to Yang Wu: "Do you still want to sleep by yourself?"

"Damn!" Yang Wu curled his lips, "I just want to chat with someone to relieve my boredom!"

Chatting with paper people?
How is this different from talking to yourself?
"You burn the paper figurine yourself!"

"I can't burn it," Yang Wu shook his head and said, "I can't receive what I burn myself!"

So much attention to detail.

Xu Zhiqiong burned a paper figurine for Yang Wu, and the paper figurine turned into ashes, and through Yang Wu's ghostly spirit, it turned into a beautiful girl.

The girl sat beside Yang Wu affectionately, and said softly, "My lord, you are so handsome."

Yang Wu laughed and said, "I don't know Miss Fang's name?"

The paper figurine covered its mouth and laughed, and said with a laugh: "The little girl's surname..."

Xu Zhiqiong raised his fist.

This is soliloquy.

If her surname was Han, Xu Zhiqiong would beat Yang Wu to death.

"Regardless of your surname, you go to the side to rest first." Yang Wu ordered, and the paper figurine left immediately.

Yang Wu got up and bowed to Xu Zhiqiong: "Zhiqiong, you are so kind to me, I don't even know how to thank you."

"Why don't you know!" Xu Zhiqiong glared, "You have to work for me!"

He took out the wooden box, which contained two candles.

Onmyoji's exclusive twin candle.

"You keep one, and I keep one. If yours lights up, mine will also light up. You stay guard in Yilangyuan, and when something happens, light the candle. I'll take a nap, and it's time to watch the night." .”

……

At dusk, Xu Zhiqiong left Yilangyuan.

Yang Wu is good at this, he does things seriously, he sits in the courtyard, imitates Xu Zhiqiong's tone, and practice repeatedly:
"coming."

"sit!"

The beautiful paper figurine was put aside, and sat quietly in the corner without any ghost or anger.

Around midnight, a gust of cold wind blew.

Outside Yilang Courtyard, white mist surrounded it heavily.

A cloud of white mist drifted up and down with the wind, slowly fell in the front yard, stuck to the wall, and wandered into the main courtyard.

The beautiful paper figurine who was originally sitting in the corner trembled slightly, stood up slowly, leaned against the wall, and walked slowly.

She walked behind Yang Wu.

Yang Wu concentrated on practicing without noticing it at all.

The beauty opened her eyes, her face expressionless, and she approached Yang Wu step by step.

Less than one step away from Yang Wu's back, the paper figurine slowly opened its mouth towards the back of Yang Wu's head.

Yang Wu shivered, suddenly felt the cold behind him, just as he was about to turn around, he heard someone calling again.

"Ma Yilang, Ma Yilang!" Xue Yun, who lived in the Xikuan courtyard, stretched his waist and walked into the main courtyard.

Yang Wu hurriedly put on his mask, and said in response, "What's the matter with you?"

"Where is the toilet?"

"Toilet?" Yang Wu also just arrived, and he doesn't need a toilet, "Here, you can find it yourself!"

Xue Yun looked at Yang Wu and said, "Your voice is a bit strange!"

Yang Wu coughed and said, "The dinner is a bit salty, and my throat feels tight."

Xue Yun didn't ask any more questions, and went to the front yard to find a toilet.

Yang Wu turned his head and was stunned for a while.

It seemed that there was something behind me just now.

There is no figure, but the breath is still there.

What a murderous aura!
