Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 137 More important than a million lives

At dawn the next day, Tao Huayuan and He Fang were covered in bruises, and they went back to the Onmyoji through the magic circle together.

Tai Bu was puzzled: "Why are you in such a mess?"

He Fang was annoyed: "Senior sister turned the jealousy, instead of dealing with Xu Zhiqiong, she insisted on dealing with Xu Zhiqiong's woman. That woman is fierce, and there are ruthless people around her, but she asked for such a good fight. We almost Lost my life."

Tai Bu looked at Tao Huayuan and said, "What's going on?"

Tao Huayuan bowed her head and remained silent. Taibo knew that this was a confidential matter and could not be mentioned in front of He Fang.

"Fang'er, you go first!"

He Fang glared at Tao Huayuan and left in resentment.

She touched the scars all over her face, feeling very depressed, and wondered if there would be scars.

When He Fang went out, Tai Bu sighed: "You have an affair with Xu Zhiqiong, I won't stop it, but I can't miss the business because of it."

Tao Huayuan didn't bother to argue, she shook her head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with personal relationships. I met that famous master."

Tai Bu was startled: "Who is she?"

"The flower cake seller in Beiyuan is called Lin Qianniang, known as Second Sister Lin."

Tai Bu thought for a moment: "I have seen this woman, she is an honest and responsible businessman."

"She's dishonest! She's very seductive!" Tao Huayuan snorted coldly, "There is a master beside her, the fourth-rank eunuch under the crown prince, Lu Yunxi!"

"Lu Yunxi?" Tai Bu couldn't believe his ears, "You were injured by him?"

Tao Huayuan nodded: "He Fang and I wanted to sneak attack Lin Qianniang, but Lu Yunxi suddenly appeared. He seemed to be buying cakes from Lin Qianniang, but he handed her something when giving money. It should be a letter. I was accidentally discovered by him. , and nearly lost his life."

Tai Bu was stunned and speechless, a series of thoughts running rapidly in his mind.

The prince is not crazy.

Lin Qianniang is the prince's subordinate outside the palace, and she is also a famous family who has been extinct for many years.

The prince asked Lin Qianniang to protect Xu Zhiqiong in secret, and he wanted to win Xu Zhiqiong over.

Some people in the cabinet support the prince, and there are also strong people who help the people.

Prince is getting ready!

The prince is not crazy!Did not sit still!

He has been laying out!

Tai Bu looked at the blue light and remained silent for a long time.

"Master!" Tao Huayuan bowed deeply, "I'm incompetent, please don't come back to Xu Zhiqiong, the master will beat you and punish me, and the disciple will admit it, but don't hit me in the face, I have to report back to the princess."

Tai Bu came back to his senses and said, "How do you return to the Sixth Princess?"

Tao Huayuan said: "Princess Six sent me out of the palace to monitor Zhang Zhuyang. I'll go back and say that Zhang Zhuyang hasn't been in contact with anyone these days. It's just a misunderstanding."

Tai Bu shook his head: "How can the sixth princess be so easy to deceive, if you have been out of the palace for so many days, if you don't bring back some news, how can she forgive you?"

"What should I do according to Master's wishes?"

Tai Bu had already prepared a list and handed it over to Tao Huayuan.

"I've already done the errand for you. In the past few days, the people who have been in contact with Zhang Zhuyang are all on this list. You should write down this list and tell the princess."

Tao Huayuan saw half of it, and said in shock: "There are many people on the list who support the crown prince. According to the princess' order, Zhang Zhuyang has been in contact with these people. I should take Zhang Zhuyang's head off!"

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "Look carefully, among these people are not only those who support the crown prince, but also those who support the king of Liang, and the cabinet scholar Peng Yanzong, this person is the confidant of the sixth princess, but he refuses to see Zhang Zhuyang, that's all.

Zhang Zhuyang didn't concentrate on currying favor with the prince, he had just been promoted, he was a little carried away for a while, he just wanted to make connections!This kind of small mistake will not cause him to lose his life. It is not easy to win over a censor, and the princess will not kill him easily. "

"Disciple understands." Tao Huayuan waited for Master to punish her under the list, but found that Tai Bu looked dull and thoughtful.

"Master, don't you punish the disciple?"

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "Xu Zhiqiong's plan is above you, I already knew this, since he has no personal relationship with you, you have no chance of winning against him, this matter is hard for you, go down and heal, earlier Return to the palace and return to life."

Tao Huayuan looked at Tai Bu with a daze in her eyes.

The casual words made Tao Huayuan's heart ache.

What is scheming over me?

What does it mean that there is no chance of winning if there is no personal relationship?
What do you mean by embarrassing me?

You can beat me up!
How can you say such a thing?

"The disciple is incompetent, incompetent..." Tao Huayuan's expression was blank, and she walked slowly towards the door in a daze.

Tai Bu was only thinking about it, completely ignoring it.

Don't even bother to hit me.

If I recruit Xu Zhiqiong to the Onmyoji Division in the future, I'm sure I won't be of much use.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Tao Huayuan saw a silver bell ringing on the door, which meant that a visitor was coming.

Tai Bu waved his sleeves, and a picture appeared on the wall, Xu Zhiqiong was at the door, waiting to be summoned.

Tai Bu was surprised: "You invited him here?"

Tao Huayuan shook her head repeatedly and said, "I can't invite him, I don't know why he came!"

Tai Bu said angrily: "If you invite me, you will invite me, but you still play tricks on me!"

"Master, I was wronged!" Tao Huayuan really didn't know why Xu Zhiqiong came.

"If you dare to say that you are wronged, I just beat you less!"

Tao Huayuan was crazy, she was really going to be driven crazy by Xu Zhiqiong.

I tried everything I could, but I couldn't catch him. Now that I gave up, he came again by himself!

Tao Huayuan lost her mind, and shouted loudly: "I'm going out to look for him now, and I have to ask him why I didn't invite him to come, but now he's here again? What kind of enmity does he have with this disciple!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Tai Bu trapped Tao Huayuan with a magic circle, and with another wave of his hand, Tao Huayuan was sealed into the wall.

He didn't intend to kill Tao Huayuan, he just wanted to calm her down.

There was an extra hand on the wall, grabbing the silver bell on the door and shaking it, expressing that he was willing to see Xu Zhiqiong. Not long after, Xu Zhiqiong walked in from the door.

"Tai Bu, long time no see!"

"Crazy life, has always been rare!"

After two ceremonies, Xu Zhiqiong took his seat. Taibo looked at Xu Zhiqiong for a long time, and asked, "Zhiqiong, why did you come to our Yin Yang Division today?"

Xu Zhiqiong really didn't want to come, he had a bad impression of Yin Yang Division, and even less of Tai Bu.

But he can't come.

"When I encounter a difficult matter, I must ask Tai Bu for advice."

"What's difficult, can you tell me?"

"There was a Qingdenglang who encountered a long-lived soul at his home, and the yard was taken over by that monster. I don't know how Taibu can expel this alien species."

"Eternal life soul, long life soul..." Tai Bu's expression was a little dull again.

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "Tai Bu, have you ever heard of the soul of longevity?"

Tai Bu nodded and said: "I have heard of it, not only have I heard it, I have also seen a lot."

Xu Zhiqiong said happily: "That's good, I have Lao Taibu to give some pointers."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Tai Bu was silent again.

The previous strategy was echoing in his mind, tricking Xu Zhiqiong to the Onmyoji Division, tricking him to look for evil stars outside the city.

Let him fight against the evil star, lure Wu Xu over, Tai Bu will make another move, and get rid of the evil star together with Wu Xu.

Now the strategy is about to succeed, but Tai Bu is absent-minded.

Seeing Tai Bu's silence, Xu Zhiqiong speculated on Tai Bu's thoughts.

This old thing is asking for a price.

Xu Zhiqiong had already been mentally prepared for this, and he had to pay a price to beg Tai Bu.

But it doesn't work if you don't pay the price, the soul of longevity is too difficult to entangle, Xu Zhiqiong can't be like Cao Yilang guarding the yard every day, and entangled with him for twenty years.

The soul of longevity comes every day, if there is any negligence, Yilangyuan will be lost, and the evil must be eliminated as soon as possible.

But if Tai Bu's bid is too high, it's another matter. It's better to squat in Yilangyuan and wait for the master to come.

"Tai Bu, I know that you are not willing to help me for nothing, and Xu does not dare to reach out to you for nothing. If Xu needs to do something, Tai Bu said it bluntly. If Xu can't do it, Xu immediately Just go, no entanglement."

Tai Bu exclaimed: "Okay, so ambitious!"

The plan has worked.

Tell Xu Zhiqiong that it is not an excessive request to go out of the city and find someone for him.

It is not difficult to lead Xu Zhiqiong to where the evil star is.

As long as the evil star made a move against Xu Zhiqiong, Wu Xu would definitely make a move.

At that time, with the strength of Wu Xu and I, we will definitely be able to repel the evil star.

Even if there was a mistake and Wu Xu rushed forward, the one who died was not an old man.

As for Xu Zhiqiong, there will be some risks.

But the risk is worth it to save millions of lives.

If he can come back alive, it will naturally be counted as a meritorious deed, and Wu Xu will not pursue it.

Even if he can't come back, Wu Xu won't know the truth.

Millions of people are right in front of us, why hesitate?
What is more important than millions of common people?
Is there?

Is there...

Tai Bu looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and said with a smile, "Longevity Soul is a different species at the junction of Yin and Yang. I wonder which Qingdenglang met it?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "This Qing Denglang does not want to reveal his name, for fear of damage to his reputation."

Tai Bu laughed and said: "So, it is inconvenient for the old man to send someone to intervene?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "If Taibu is willing to teach the method, Xu will be grateful!"

As soon as Tai Bu stretched out his hand, there was an extra book in his hand, called "The Record of Strange Spirits".

"There are [-] kinds of aliens that I have seen in my life. I compiled eighty-two volumes of "Orange Spirit Record". This is one of the volumes. It contains records about immortal souls. I am a Yin-Yang Daoist, it shouldn't be difficult to subdue this thing."

After finishing speaking, Tai Bu handed "The Record of Different Spirits" to Xu Zhiqiong.

he gave?Give it so happily?
He didn't pursue my entry, did he acquiesce?

Probably not so cheap!
"Tai Bu, please take out the "Tie Yan Bu" together, as long as it is something I can promise, I will definitely do it."

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "You don't need to say anything, you only need to promise me one thing, if she follows you in the future, no matter if it's a wife or a concubine, you must treat her well."

Any wife or concubine?

"Who is Tai Bu talking about?"

Tai Bu smiled and served tea to the guests.

Xu Zhiqiong thought over and over what he had said, probably he hadn't promised Tai Bu inadvertently.

he's gone.

With a wave of Tai Bu's hand, Tao Huayuan was released from the wall.

Shicai heard every word clearly, Tao Huayuan asked: "Master, why didn't you mention the matter of the evil star?"

Tai Bu looked up at Tao Huayuan: "I forgot."

"Forgot?" Tao Huayuan opened her mouth, and the emotions she had just recovered collapsed again, "I went all out to invite him, but Master actually said he forgot?"

"Maybe I'm old," Tai Bu sighed, "Go back to the palace, remember to read the list carefully, and don't say anything wrong."

Tao Huayuan left in a daze.

Tai Bu sat in front of the blue lantern, muttering to himself:

"What is more important than a million souls?"

"Is there?"

"Have!"

The evil star invaded the capital, how should Emperor Zhaoxing respond?
If he died in the hands of the evil star...

The prince is not crazy.

Inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the court, there are subordinates of the prince.

He is ready.

This is the prince's chance.

……

In the volume of "Orange Spirit Record" that Xu Zhiqiong got, there are twenty-five kinds of strange spirits recorded, and the immortal soul ranks third.

The characteristics of the immortal soul are recorded in detail in the book.

First of all, we have to recognize the reality. It is almost impossible to completely kill the longevity soul with a cultivation level below the fourth rank. This is consistent with what Cao Yilang said. Punishment of evil emissaries is at the fifth rank, and there is no way to deal with the longevity soul.

In addition, don't underestimate the IQ of the Longevity Soul. They occasionally do some low-IQ behaviors because they strictly follow the logic of survival.

If you want to defeat the immortal soul, you must find loopholes in their thinking logic, and then destroy their logic.

This is not an easy task. Longevity souls often have a lifespan of hundreds of years, and their survival logic is very strict.

Taking battle as an example, before the battle begins, he will choose the most suitable possession.

During the battle, as long as the possessed object is not seriously damaged, he will continue to use the miasma to replenish his strength.

Once the possessed object is severely damaged, he will preserve his consciousness and run away immediately.

This set of logic is impeccable, and there are almost no loopholes to exploit.

Fortunately, the Longevity Soul still has three weaknesses:

One is that there is no vision before possession, and only instinctively find the most suitable object to attach to.

In the beginning, Changshenghun was not afraid of Xue Yun because he couldn't see Xue Yun. After being shocked by Xue Yun's murderous aura, he didn't dare to come back for a while because he didn't know that Xue Yun had left and was not possessed. There is no vision, which is one of the fatal flaws of the immortal soul.

The second is that you cannot attack before possessing the body. Although the miasma is thick and scary, it is just scary. The miasma is only the physical reserve of the immortal soul and will not cause harm to people.

But as long as he is not possessed, others cannot cause harm to him. This is the most difficult part of him.

The third is that after being possessed, you will be attacked, but ordinary attacks will not work. A broom is enough to compete with the Biaodao.

According to the records of "Orange Spirit Record", the more human-like the thing possessed by the immortal soul, the stronger its power, because the human-shaped thing can absorb more miasma.

Yang Wu is a human soul with a physical body, very close to human beings, so he is naturally the first choice for the immortal soul, but unfortunately he has never succeeded.

The second is the paper figurines, which are also in human form, especially the paper figurines of the Wang Family Paper Horse Shop, which are very similar to real people.

There were no paper figurines last night, so he chose the broom, and the broom was almost ready, but the combat effectiveness dropped significantly.

The broom was dismantled by Yang Wu, and he chose a pickaxe. The pickaxe was obviously not suitable, and it was too different from the human figure, so it was easily handled by Yang Wu.

But Yang Wu managed the pickaxe, but failed to deal with the immortal soul. There are still a large number of miasma in the yard, which is his power reserve. As long as the consciousness of the immortal soul escapes from the possession, it will not be difficult for him Consider actual damage.

Can Xue Yun destroy the Longevity Soul?Why is the Longevity Soul so afraid of him?

It's useless to think about it, Xu Zhiqiong and him are not in the same rank.

He can only do what he can do at this level.

In the afternoon, he went to Wang's paper horse shop and bought a paper figurine.

This paper figurine is so beautiful that the greedy Yang Wu drools.

"Hurry up and burn it, before it fogs up, burn it to me!"

"What's the hurry!" Xu Zhiqiong fed him a sandalwood, "You are so good at housekeeping, I'll go to punish the wicked."

Xu Zhiqiong left and returned only at dusk, clutching a blue-red stone in his hand.

"Yin Spirit Stone?" Yang Wu knew this stone, it was used to collect Yin Qi, "Your stone is too small, it can't store much Yin Qi, it's not enough for me to eat!"

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wu and beat him happily.

"Do you know how much this stone is worth? Fifty taels, exactly fifty taels! Jiang Wuniang from the grocery store asks so much, but no one controls it?"

Yang Wu sobbed, "She asks for a lot of money, why are you beating me?"

Xu Zhiqiong took out a large number of incense candles from his pocket and set up a magic circle in the yard.

"Brother, let's see tonight if you succeed or not!"

Yang Wudao: "Then you have to promise me that after the matter is over, burn the paper figurine to me!"

"What's the rush?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled, "After the matter is done, your good days will come!"
