Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 133 Xu Zhiqiong, You Are So Ruthless

Meng Shizhen led the crowd to patrol Beiyuan overnight, clamoring to go to the tea house.

Wang Zhennan said: "Then Chen Jiu'er has followed you, but hasn't served you well?"

Meng Shizhen snorted and said, "Didn't your eight wives take good care of you?"

Everyone drank a few cups in the tea house, and each found Dr. Tea to stay with him. Xu Zhiqiong was not in the mood. Recently, he was addicted to sword skills, and he only wanted to practice swords, not spears.

Let's drink two cups of tea, send Dr. Tea away, and go back to Yilangyuan to study the sword technique.

Dr. Tea came a little late today, and when she came in with the tea set, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to leave.

Dr. Cha hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "My family is a bit slow to wash and wash, please don't be offended by Mr. Deng."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the tea doctor. His clothes were quite loose, and he couldn't tell his figure. His face was covered with a veil, and he couldn't tell his face.

Xu Zhiqiong stared at Dr. Tea for a while, and asked, "I won't drink tea tonight, I'm tired, wait for me to rest."

Dr. Cha said shyly, "Lord Deng, there are rules in the tea house, so you have to have a drink no matter what."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "There is still this rule? If you don't need to make tea, won't it save you trouble?"

Dr. Tea lowered his head and said, "If Lord Deng doesn't drink the tea from my slaves, and Captain Jiancha finds out, he will punish me again."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Forget it, let's make a cup of tea."

The tea doctor finished the tea foam and ordered a bowl of tea soup. In terms of skill alone, it was almost impeccable.

The girl came to Xu Zhiqiong with the tea soup: "Master Deng Lang, please try it."

Xu Zhiqiong sniffed it and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

"Thank you Lord Deng for your compliment."

Xu Zhiqiong praised again: "It smells like peach blossoms."

When Dr. Cha heard this, he jumped up and grabbed Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong got up, wanted to jump out of the window, but couldn't get out, wanted to go through the door, but turned around in the room.

This doctor of tea is Tao Huayuan.

While making tea, Tao Huayuan set up a magic circle in the tea set room.

"Xu Denglang, listen to me, I mean no harm."

Before the words were finished, Xu Zhiqiong kicked over the teapot, and the boiling water splashed all over Tao Huayuan's body. Tao Huayuan cried out in pain, and Xu Zhiqiong ran outside the door, running wildly.

The key to the magic circle is the teapot. Xu Zhiqiong didn't expect it to be figured out so quickly.

Tao Huayuan went out to give chase, but was stopped by Captain Sencha (the bustard).

"What are you doing?"

Tao Huayuan pointed at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "That person left without paying, do you care?"

Captain Jiancha grabbed Tao Huayuan's clothes and shouted, "That's Master Denglang, you must have served him improperly, so he left!"

Tao Huayuan grabbed Colonel Jiancha's hair, left her aside, and rushed out the door to chase Xu Zhiqiong.

Where can she catch up, Xu Zhiqiong has already run away.

Captain Sencha gave a tiger roar: "Come here! This hoof is rebellious, she dares to hit me!"

There was chaos in the tea house, and Tao Huayuan hurriedly left the place.

Xu Zhiqiong ran to a distance, feeling lingering in fear.

This wicked woman belongs to the Sixth Princess, and she came to hunt and kill me again.

I think I haven't offended the Sixth Princess these days, is it because of Wu Ziqing's Liangzi?

Forget it, I just went back to Yilangyuan to hide for a night.

Xu Zhiqiong practiced swordsmanship in Yilangyuan all night, while Yang Wu squatted in the front yard in panic.

Taking advantage of the rest, Xu Zhiqiong asked: "What are you afraid of?"

Yang Wu looked around: "There is fog."

"What's so strange about the fog at night?"

Yang Wu shook his head and said, "When there is fog, there will be strange things."

Xu Zhiqiong looked around, the fog tonight was really thick.

Lift your nose and smell it, there is an indescribable smell in the mist.

There is some decaying air, and it seems that there is some bloody smell.

He remembered Xia Hu's request that Yilang Courtyard is at the junction of Yin and Yang, and there are many different kinds of people here.

He thought of Xue Yun's entrustment again. The miasma has become a little thick recently, so he should be more careful.

Is there really a heterogeneous door?

Xu Zhiqiong asked Yang Wu: "You just said something strange?"

"Remember the two paper figurines you bought for me, they were both destroyed when the fog started."

"Is there such a thick fog every night?"

Yang Wu shook his head and said, "I remember that Xue came back suddenly in the middle of the night and said he wanted to get you some clothes. Since that night, there has been less fog in the courtyard. I don't know why the fog is so thick tonight."

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment, and took out the written note Xue Yun left him from his arms.

He unfolded the paper and blew it against the night wind, and the night fog dissipated in an instant.

Xu Zhiqiong picked up the written evidence and smelled it again, and quickly made an inference.

The dense fog comes from some unknown existence, most likely from the evil spirits at the junction of yin and yang.

This evil spirit is very afraid of Xue Yun, and probably has been warned by Xue Yun, so he dare not appear in the short term.

But now that Xue Yun has been away for a while, it comes again.

Xue Yun's murderous aura was left on the document, and the murderous aura came from the handprint on the document. This handprint should be Xue Yun's blood, and this murderous aura temporarily scared the evil spirit away.

But how long can a piece of paper support it?
What kind of evil is this?
Thick fog, paper figures... Could it be possession?

It's better to ask the master, I know too little about aliens.

Xu Zhiqiong focused on his dantian and entered the small black room.

After calling in the small black room for a long time, there was no response, and I don't know if the master fell asleep or went out.

Who else can I ask besides Master?
Looking for Xia Hu?
She doesn't know much about aliens.

……

Xu Zhiqiong took a nap for two hours, and when it was almost dawn, he went to the Zhu Kulou tea house, and was going to go back to the yamen with everyone for some time.

Meng Shizhen waited in front of the tea house, saw Xu Zhiqiong, hurried up to meet him and said, "Zhiqiong, you are not injured!"

Captain Jiancha rushed forward one step ahead, held Xu Zhiqiong in his arms and said, "Master Deng Lang, it's fortunate that you came back safely, the courage of the slave family was frightened."

"Sister, don't cry, you, what, don't hug so tightly..."

Last night, Captain Sencha was beaten, and she searched around for the doctor who beat her, only to find that the doctor who was supposed to serve Xu Zhiqiong fell unconscious in the firewood room. It's a villain.

The gangsters attacked Lantern Lang in the tea house. If Xu Zhiqiong made a mistake, the business would not have to be done.

Not only Captain Jiancha was terrified, but even Lu Yanyou was so frightened that he didn't sleep all night. He pulled Xu Zhiqiong to a place where there was no one else, and asked, "I saw some traces of the Yin-Yang formation in your room last night. Did Lao Qin come to take revenge on you?"

"Qin Changmao?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled and didn't say much.

If only he was fine, Zhengchou had no excuse to kill him.

Lu Yanyou sighed and said: "Actually, Lao Qin is a good person, and you are too. We have just met him for a few days, and we have formed a relationship. As the eldest brother, I have to advise you a few words. If you want to fight or kill, quickly find someone else." Make a break at the right place, don't make trouble in my tea house, I still have to do business..."

Xu Zhiqiong spat on Lu Yanyou, and turned to look for Meng Shizhen.

"Where are the brothers?"

Meng Shizhen asked anxiously: "Didn't they all go to look for you? What happened?"

"I may have met an old enemy."

"Which enemy?" Meng Shizhen was furious, "How can we suffer from this when we are in charge of the lamp? Where is he? Let's deal with him now!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "This is not easy."

Meng Shizhen said, "Are you looking for Chen Qianhu?"

Chen Qianhu?
It is also a thousand households, Wu Xu is a mountain, he is not even a tree.

This matter is related to the sixth princess, so if you tell him, he may not dare to take care of it.

"Don't disturb Qianhu, let's see if she comes to see me tonight."

That night, Xu Zhiqiong patrolled the night alone, lighting up the vigil lights one by one along a fixed route.

At the sixth light, the smoke rose, and Tao Huayuan appeared.

She didn't sneak attack Xu Zhiqiong, which surprised Xu Zhiqiong.

"Xu Denglang, don't be afraid, don't run away, I just want to say a few words to you."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "This is the third time we meet, I still don't know your name?"

Tao Huayuan smiled wryly: "You and I don't even know each other, but some people say you and I have an affair."

"Who said that?"

"You want to know?" Tao Huayuan waved her hand, and peach blossoms paved a path in midair.

Tao Huayuan said, "Follow me along the Peach Blossom Path, the man is waiting to see you."

Looking at the peach blossom path suspended in mid-air, Xu Zhiqiong lamented the superb technique.

"Fifth grade Onmyoji, really extraordinary."

Tao Huayuan asked in surprise, "Do you know that I am a fifth rank?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why didn't Shicai sneak attack on me? If he had struck harder, maybe I would have died."

Tao Huayuan smiled and said, "You don't have to be humble. Dare to watch the night alone, which proves that you are prepared. Killing you is not so easy, and I don't want to kill you, because someone wants you to live."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "In other words, they are meant to be caught alive?"

Who wants to catch it alive?It must be the sixth princess.

The sixth princess wanted to know about "The Record of Nu Zulu".

Tao Huayuan shook her head and said, "It's not counting as arresting, it's counting as asking, peach blossoms pave the way, isn't this sincerity enough?"

"Sincerity is enough, but Xu is clumsy and can't go up this Peach Blossom Path."

While speaking, Meng Shizhen was approaching quietly.

Tao Huayuan took out a paper umbrella from behind, grabbed the head of the umbrella, and handed the handle to Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong was very dissatisfied: "Don't you say you have an affair? Don't even touch your hands?"

Wang Zhennan was also approaching quietly.

Tao Huayuan frowned and said, "You are so thick-skinned, are you going or not?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Why don't you go? You despised me first and brought me an umbrella. Who knows what mechanism is in your umbrella?"

"You're cautious." Tao Huayuan's eyes showed a fierce look, but he eased back a little. "You want to touch my hand that much?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "After touching this, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, Xu is willing to go!"

It sounds nice, don't you just want to sneak attack me?
"Okay, I'll hold you by my own hand."

Tao Huayuan stretched out a hand, hiding the powder in it, as long as Xu Zhiqiong touched her palm, he would obey him obediently.

Calculated in this way, he was neither tied nor beaten, and during the effect of the medicine, Xu Zhiqiong obeyed what he said, completely willingly.

She knew that Xu Zhiqiong was extremely fast, and he was probably an eunuch, so he was on guard against tricks such as piercing the heart, talking and laughing, peeling the skin, orchid cutting the bone.

From the moment she appeared, Xu Zhiqiong's every move was under her control.

Xu Zhiqiong also stretched out his hand, and at the same time, Lu Yinpeng took his place.

With his hands slowly approaching, Tao Huayuan focused all his attention on Xu Zhiqiong.

Seeing his fingertips touching, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly shouted: "Lang Lantern, hold the lantern!"

Tao Huayuan was startled, and saw twelve blue lanterns gathered above her head.

Turning around and looking again, Xu Zhiqiong had already run ten feet away!
Twelve green lamps, twelve kinds of instruments of torture, hot oil, reamer, charcoal fire, steel needles, molten iron... Mountains of knives and sea of ​​fire fell from the sky.

Surrounded by iron walls, Tao Huayuan had nowhere to escape.

Flames billowed, smoke and dust rose everywhere, Xu Zhiqiong used all the most vicious methods in running the lamp yamen.

Watching the night alone is to lure Peach Blossom Girl out.

The reason why Meng Shizhen and Wang Zhennan were not allowed to make a sneak attack was that they could not take advantage of the magic circle.

The blue lanterns are different, they are not afraid of Peach Blossom Girl's counterattack, and just bombard them indiscriminately.

When the twelve blue lanterns were gone, Xu Zhiqiong, Meng Shizhen, and Wang Zhennan each raised their sabers and approached carefully.

Tao Huayuan was nowhere to be seen on the ground, so she let her escape.

Seeing mercury on the ground, Meng Shizhen smiled bitterly and said, "She has escaped."

Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth: "It's still too late to attack, otherwise this woman's life will definitely be killed!"

Three miles away, Tao Huayuan emerged from the soil.

Half of her hair was burned off, her face was burnt, and two three-inch-long steel needles were stuck in her nose.

Tao Huayuan pulled out the steel needle, wishing she could crush her teeth, "Xu Zhiqiong, you are so ruthless!"
