Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 166 Second Elder, Don't Be Impulsive
King Huai ordered the grave to be dug, and dozens of soldiers with shovels and picks dug open Xu Zhiqiong's coffin in a short time.

"Come here, burn his body and take away the ashes!"

Just as everyone was about to drag the corpse out, Xu Zhiqiong jumped up and ran away.

Concentrate on Baihui, jump into the clouds, and hurry to the little black room...

No, the power of imagery is still insufficient.

The recovery of this thing is too slow.

It might be easier to go to Yilangyuan.

Yilang's seal is not on his body, but in Yang Wu's hands.

Turn around in circles and act as the key to open the door. You can go to Yilangyuan or punish evil divisions.

Forget it, don't go around in circles, if you miss and you are caught up by King Huai, you have to die again!
Go ahead and run!

All the sergeants were frightened, no one dared to move, someone shouted: "My lord, you have cheated!"

"Fart your mother!" Huai Wang said angrily, "This bastard is cheating, chase me!"

A group of people chased after him, and Xu Zhiqiong ran desperately.

Where did the dean go?
King Huai led people up to the White Tiger Mountain, but you were unprepared?
Go to the dean?

do not.

Wuche Academy can't stand King Huai's torment, don't drag the dean, first find a way to return to the Yamen in charge, King Huai dare not act wild in the Imperial City Division.

Xu Zhiqiong rushed all the way down Baihu Mountain and headed straight for Wang'an Jing, King Huai led his soldiers in hot pursuit.

Chasing all the way to the bottom of the city, Xu Zhiqiong rushed into the city gate, Wu Shanxing was shocked when he saw Xu Zhiqiong.

"You, you are..."

"Brother, I will tell you some things later, King Huai is chasing after me!"

Wu Shanxing said: "Go quickly! I will help you resist for a while!"

Xu Zhiqiong continued to run, and King Huai arrived later, and Wu Shanxing ordered people to close the city gate.

King Huai shouted from the bottom of the city: "Which bird dares to close the city gate, open the city gate, get out and answer!"

Wu Shanxing shouted from the top of the city: "Who is making noise in the city?"

King Huai ordered the flag to be raised, and a sergeant shouted: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, if you don't recognize people, don't you recognize the flag!"

Wu Shanxing said: "It's dark and foggy at night, and the flags can't be seen clearly. Tonight is Hanako Festival, in order to prevent beggars from outside the city from entering the city to cause trouble, the west gate is temporarily closed. Let's go around elsewhere!"

Tan Yunfeng, the commander of the army, said angrily: "What are you? How dare you be arrogant before the prince?"

Wu Shanxing showed no fear: "I am the gate captain of Ximen City. According to military law, in case of emergency, the city gate should be closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Everyone, if you really have something important to enter the city, go around elsewhere!"

"You are so bold!"

No matter how much King Huai yelled and scolded, Wu Shanxing refused to open the city gate. In desperation, King Huai could only go around to the south gate to enter the city.

When he entered the city, Xu Zhiqiong had already run back to the Lantern Yamen.

The old gatekeeper Lang Ning Wenyi saw Xu Zhiqiong, and almost lost his temper. Xu Zhiqiong didn't say much, and went straight into the main hall of the yamen.

Zhong Can and the others were changing clothes in the main hall, when they saw Xu Zhiqiong, they exclaimed, "Zhiqiong, it's you!"

Xu Zhiqiong quickly saluted and said, "Commander, it's me!"

Zhong Shen shouted to the people around him: "Quick, it's a fraud, hold it down!"

"Don't press it, I didn't cheat, I'm alive!"

……

The chaos in the yamen took a long time to subside. Zhong Shen asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Zhiqiong, please tell me, what is going on?"

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't answer, Zhong Shen was in a hurry when he heard a report from outside the door: "King Huai is here, and he wants to search the Lantern Yamen."

Qiao Shungang said: "Commander, find a place to hide first, and I will deal with it."

Zhong Shen was supposed to live in Longtu Pavilion, but he sneaked out tonight, if King Huai saw it, it would be difficult to explain it.

But if it's not easy to explain, you have to explain, Qiao Shun just couldn't stop King Huai.

Zhong Shen straightened his clothes and came outside the yamen.

Huai Wang smiled coldly: "Scholar Zhong, you are so bold, who told you to leave Longtu Pavilion at will?"

Zhong Shen didn't explain, and he lost if he explained.

He is not a subordinate of King Huai and has no obligation to explain to him.

"His Royal Highness Huai Wang, what is your business in our Imperial City Division?"

King Huai said, "I'm here to arrest the villain."

Zhong Shen said with a smile: "A villain just died in the prince's house, but he came out to catch the villain again. There are quite a lot of villains encountered recently."

Don't follow King Huai's thinking, don't have any meaningless arguments with him, this is not an ordinary situation, don't engage in meaningless circles.

Zhong Shen wanted to provoke him.

King Huai was really irritated: "Zhong Shen, get out of the way, or don't blame me for being merciless."

Zhong Shen smiled and said, "I won't let you, what can you do?"

King Huai ordered the sergeant: "Go to the Lantern Yamen and find Xu Zhiqiong for me!"

A group of soldiers rushed forward, Zhong Can waved his hand, a trap suddenly appeared on the street, dozens of soldiers all fell into the pit, leaving only King Huai outside the pit.

Mohism's third-grade skill, get what you want.

Zhong Shen can summon the traps he made at any time.

King Huai's face turned pale. When a third-grade cultivator really wanted to make a move, he knew exactly what he should do.

"Remember what happened tonight, I want to seek justice before His Majesty!"

King Huai took the people away, Zhong Shen returned to the main hall, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and was silent for a long time.

Qiao Shungang said: "Zhiqiong, run away, leave the capital overnight, we just say we haven't seen you."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "I won't run."

Is it not easy to escape?

Eat something, rest for a while, and when the power of imagery recovers, you can go to the small black room by jumping into the clouds, and you can go to Punish Eisi and Yilangyuan by turning around.

King Huai had already left, and the key issue now was not to escape for his life.

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to restore his legal status, and he believed that Zhong Shen had a way.

Zhong Shen really has a way.

"Zhiqiong, can you trust me?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded.

"Since you trust me, follow me to the palace!"

Qiao Shun just shook his head and said: "You can't go to the palace, Mr. Liang's family will kill you alive!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I trust the commander, I will go to the palace."

……

Zhong Shen took Xu Zhiqiong to the palace overnight. On the way, Zhong Shen asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Tell me the truth, why did you come back from the dead?"

Naturally Xu Zhiqiong couldn't tell him the truth: "I didn't know I was dead, I just thought I fell asleep, King Huai dug open my grave, I suddenly woke up, afraid that King Huai would kill me, so I ran all the way back to the Yamen. "

Zhong Shen believed that what Xu Zhiqiong said was true, but he couldn't help shaking his head: "You can't say that. After you died, the emperor sent people to come to the autopsy many times, and it was true that you were dead. , absolutely no one would believe,
Let me tell you that it is the True God of White Tiger who allowed you to return to the human world in order to reward your achievements. You should think about the details carefully. I will only tell the emperor, and I have not asked you yet. I will listen to you at that time. "

"True God White Tiger?" Xu Zhiqiong scratched his head and said, "How could True God White Tiger notice me as a mortal?"

Zhong Shen knew some inside information, and he told Xu Zhiqiong the reason:
"The reason why Liang Daguan's family buried Wu Xu generously and pardoned the Secretary of the Imperial City was because the real god Baihu was angry, sent down thunder, and split the Canglong Temple. He was afraid of being punished by the real god again, so he gave Wu Xu justice.
Liang Daguan's family thought that if you were dead, there was no need to forgive you. Now that you have come back from the dead, as long as you mention the White Tiger True God again, Liang Daguan's family will definitely not dare to embarrass you. "

Xu Zhiqiong didn't make a sound, Zhong Shen's thinking was right, but this lie was not complete.

If the emperor asked, what does the White Tiger God look like?By what means can I bring you back to life?
That being said, the story is long.

Xu Zhiqiong can make up nonsense, but if he is not careful, his flaws will be exposed. Even if he can fool the emperor, he can't fool the three elders of Canglong. Their knowledge is much more extensive than Xu Zhiqiong.

The longer the lie, the more flaws it has. If you want to hide things from the past, you must reduce the length of the lie, and there must be some truth in the lie, so that it has enough credibility.

What kind of lie should I make up?

Xu Zhiqiong thought about it all the way.

When he got to the palace, Zhong Shen begged to see the emperor, but the emperor did not see him.

This incident happened too suddenly and too strangely, Emperor Zhaoxing needed time to think about it.

He placed the two of them in Longtu Pavilion and slept for one night.

This night, Xu Zhiqiong only thought about one thing.

What the shortest lie looks like.

What does the truest lie look like?

Can you protect yourself with just one lie?
The power of imagery is slowly recovering, and there should be no problem in saving his life.

The yin and yang qi also recovered a lot.

Xu Zhiqiong quietly set up a magic circle in Longtu Pavilion.

After the array was formed, Xu Zhiqiong heard a voice.

"Kangsheng, you're alive!"

"Tai Bu, I miss you!"

"Say something quickly!"

"Ask Taibu for help!"

……

At dawn the next day, Emperor Zhaoxing summoned King Huai and Xu Zhiqiong at the same time. King Huai beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying bitterly.

"Brother Huang, Xu Zhiqiong bullied the emperor and harmed the clan. Give justice to my younger brother, and justice to my poor child!"

King Huai was heartbroken, and Emperor Zhaoxing was expressionless.

Emperor Zhao Xing did not reprimand Xu Zhiqiong, nor did he comfort King Huai, and he didn't even ask why Xu Zhiqiong came back from the dead, he just watched with a blank expression.

This is the scariest thing about Emperor Zhaoxing, no one knows what he is thinking.

Seeing that King Huai's mood gradually calmed down, Emperor Zhaoxing spoke slowly.

"This matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the clan, and should be handled by the three elders of Canglong Hall."

King Huai was overjoyed when he heard the words, as long as Xu Zhiqiong could be sent to Canglong Palace, Xu Zhiqiong would surely die, and the third elder of Canglong was the most staunch guardian of the clan's interests.

Emperor Zhaoxing's approach was indeed safe, as long as King Huai could be appeased, the Third Canglong Elder could do whatever he wanted with Xu Zhiqiong, anyway, he didn't have to bear any responsibility for it.

Zhong Shen was also expecting this, in his opinion, as long as Xu Zhiqiong involved the True God of the White Tiger, the third elder Canglong would not dare to act rashly.

A group of eunuchs escorted Xu Zhiqiong to the Canglong Hall. When passing by the East Palace, the crown prince suddenly stopped the way: "Xu Zhiqiong, you are really nothing. This palace has always treated you well. Killed? How can you lie to my father? I will kill you, a traitor!"

The prince came up and beat him, but the eunuch stopped the prince and said, "Your Highness, calm down, your majesty has handed over Xu Zhiqiong to Canglong Palace for disposal."

The prince snorted coldly and said: "The three elders will not spare you, a traitor, don't think that you can get away with it because you are treacherous and cunning. Do you know what methods the three elders have? Do you know how much a domineering cultivator has? ? If you dare to tell a lie, you will be smashed to pieces! Get lost!"

Naturally, the prince didn't come to scold Xu Zhiqiong, he came to remind Xu Zhiqiong.

The most critical factor in these remarks was that Xu Zhiqiong did not understand Canglong's domineering skills.

Not only did he not understand, but almost no one in Daxuan knew about it. The skills of Canglong cultivators were Daxuan's secrets. There were three grades of seventh, eighth, and ninth. All members of the royal family could practice, and many people knew about it.

For rank seven and above, only Canglongwei can cultivate, and their skills are strictly kept secret, even Zhong Shen does not know about them.

In the previous battle, Liang Gongping used the skill of self-respect, and everyone lost their fighting power without precautions, because no one understood the skills of the domineering system.

"If you dare to say a lie, you will be smashed to pieces!"

What does it mean?
Could Elder Canglong have the ability to distinguish lies?
It shouldn't be possible. If you have the ability to distinguish lies, you may not be able to hide any secrets from these three elders in this world.

But today's response must be prudent, and the shortest and truest lie must be used to solve the problem.

After entering the Canglong Hall, the holy elder Liang Gongping ordered Xu Zhiqiong to be taken into the dungeon without saying anything.

This is the attitude, and this is the correct attitude towards the royal family.

King Huai was quite satisfied with this attitude, but he did not leave immediately.

"Wait until the elder gives me justice, I won't be too late to leave!"

"Xiankang, this matter cannot be settled overnight."

"Why can't we make a decision?" King Huai said with a downcast face, "This dog thief cheated his death before, stayed in the Lantern Yamen for several days, and was buried by that traitor Lin Tianzheng of Wuche Academy. The autopsy on the coffin, but let the dog thief hide the truth and escape,

The evidence of the crime of bullying the king and the crime of harming the royal family have been proven. The traitor Ling Chi should be executed, and the Lantern Yamen and Wuche Academy should be sealed up immediately, and Zhong Shen, Lin Tianzheng and others should be executed together! "

Liang Gongping shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. This Xu Zhiqiong is certainly hateful, but this matter is related to the general society. You know what the general is..."

Liang Gongping demonstrated the four-level skill of muddy road - general knowledge. The key core of this skill is to make simple questions very complicated, so that the other party can't understand, so that the other party can deeply realize his ignorance and superficiality.

Elder Shengci was making mud, and Xu Zhiqiong was posing in the dungeon.

In the Department of Yin and Yang, the blue light flickered, Tai Bu said with a smile: "Kangsheng, is this really the case?"

Xu Zhiqiong responded in his mind: "There is a white tiger god who is the top crock (takes the blame), if you don't do it, you don't do it!"

Tai Bu laughed and said: "Forget it, the three old things of Canglong Palace, I have suffered too much from you, and in the name of the true god, I will take revenge on you once."

……

Liang Gongping was making mud in the hall, and Liang Jixiong, the elder of Shengwei, came to the dungeon to interrogate Xu Zhiqiong.

"The old man is old and can't remember your name."

Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said, "My name is Xu Zhiqiong, the vault of the sky."

"Aim in the sky," Elder Shengwei nodded and said, "If you deceive the king, you will die, but if you can answer the old man's question truthfully, the old man is willing to plead with His Majesty to save you from death. You first tell the old man why you Can you come back from the dead?"

Elder Shengwei stared at Xu Zhiqiong viciously, his eyes were deep, and there seemed to be a green dragon hovering in his eyes.

This is the skill that Canglong Overbearing uses to identify lies?
No, Xu Zhiqiong can feel the essence of skills.

It has nothing to do with lies, what the other party wants is loyalty.

Canglong is a domineering sixth-grade skill, and he is utterly loyal.

This skill can forcibly win the opponent's loyalty in a short period of time. If the opponent lies, they should show strong shame and remorse.

With Liang Jixiong's power of observation, as long as there was even the slightest change in expression, he could not escape Liang Jixiong's eyes.

This skill has two prerequisites:

One is that the opponent's grade does not exceed the sixth grade, and Xu Zhiqiong only has a cultivation base of the seventh grade, which is within the effective range of the skill.

The second is that the other party's face should not be too thick. A thick-skinned and high-quality cultivator like Bao Jingzhong will not change his face at all when he lies.

Liang Jixiong believed that Xu Zhiqiong did not have such a deep cultivation.

But he didn't expect this skill to be ineffective against Xu Zhiqiong, and Xu Zhiqiong had made full preparations.

What is the shortest lie?What is the truest lie?

Xu Zhiqiong only said four words: "I can't say it."

These four words are short and true.

Liang Jixiong was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is this related to the White Tiger True God?"

Xu Zhiqiong still replied the same: "I can't say."

Liang Jixiong gritted his teeth and said, "This old man has a bad memory. Why is your name Xu poor?"

"Xu Zhiqiong, the vault of the sky!"

"Okay, Xu Zhiqiong! I will give you half an hour to think about it carefully. After half an hour, if you are so arrogant again, I will make your life worse than death!"

Liang Jixiong left the dungeon angrily.

"Second Elder, you are too impulsive." Xu Zhiqiong threw a stone on the ground.

Tai Bu felt something and smiled slightly.

A blast of thunder landed on the Canglong Hall, the hall trembled for a while, and dust kept falling.

Liang Gongping knelt down and held his head. Seeing King Huai beside him, he quickly stood up again.

Liang Jixiong hurried back to the dungeon, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and sighed, "Zhiqiong, why are you so stubborn, come, follow the old man to talk elsewhere."

Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said, "I just came back to life, my memory is not very good, who are you?"
