Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 178

"Do you know my Daoism?" Zhang Jiugu didn't find it surprising, "Xu Zhiqiong told you, right? He is my fellow Daoist. I came to him just for Daoist affairs. Call him out quickly, don't miss it." Business!"

"Bah! Who is the same as you? You are not ashamed!" Chang Decai spat, "Thieves, our family not only knows your sect, but also your heart, and you are so cunning. Tell our family, what bad idea do you still have in your heart?"

Zhang Jiugu smiled charmingly: "Little pump girl, you should guess!"

"Little pump girl? Ouch, our family is so ashamed," Chang De said, covering his mouth and laughing, "Is there any need to guess? The Qiongqi cultivator is the most treacherous, you must not come here alone, talking so loudly." , you also brought a helper who cultivates yin and yang!"

When the words fell to the ground, Chang Decai suddenly turned around and tore off a piece of flesh from the man behind him.

The man let out a cry of pain, and retreated repeatedly holding his bloody arm. He was hiding in the Yin-Yang circle, and he was going to sneak attack from behind, but Chang Decai's reaction was so alert.

"Qingqi matches yin and yang, this battle is not easy!" Chang Decai looked at the two of them left and right.

"Not only is it difficult to fight, but you also have a burden!" Zhang Jiugu rushed straight to Shi Shuangliu.

If Chang Decai went to rescue Shi Shuangliu at this time, the man would definitely attack Chang Decai from behind.

Unexpectedly, Chang De ignored Shi Shuangliu, grabbed the man, and poked him twice in the chest.

Point the finger through the heart, and the man immediately vomited blood. If Chang Decai made a third stab, the man would surely die.

This is Chang Decai's tactic. If Zhang Jiugu insists on killing Shi Shuangliu, Chang Decai must exchange one with her. If he goes to rescue Shi Shuangliu, both of them must be involved.

Changde was able to kill Zhang Jiugu after one for one. Although Shi Shuangliu was not protected, the battle was considered a big victory.

The tactics were correct, but there was a problem with the execution, so Chang De didn't point out the third move, turned around and kicked Zhang Jiugu, saving Shi Shuangliu.

Don't you want to change it?How could there be such a serious mistake?

This is not Chang Decai's fault, it is Zhang Jiugu's skill.

The man who recovered his life used yin and yang techniques to hide himself, preparing to attack again.

Chang Decai looked at Chen Jiugu and said, "I almost forgot, this is your sixth-grade skill, blinding your eyes!"

Qiong Qi Evil Dao sixth-grade skills, blindness, can make the opponent be disturbed by distracting thoughts, instantly forget the situation of the battle, and act regardless of priority.

Now the man who knows yin and yang has disappeared, and the battle situation is extremely unfavorable for Chang Decai.

Zhang Jiugu kept emitting evil thoughts, Chang Decai had difficulty concentrating.

Shi Shuangliu's condition is also not good. She realized that Chang Decai didn't want to save her just now, and driven by evil thoughts, she developed a little hatred for Chang Decai.

You can't fight anymore, if you get hit by the Yin-Yang family's tricks again at this moment, everything will be over.

Chang Decai turned around, suddenly lifted Shi Shuangliu, and rushed to the door, when the yin-yang cultivator suddenly appeared from behind, and a ray of yang energy hit Chang Decai's back.

Chang Decai flashed over suddenly, grabbing Shi Shuangliu with one hand, and circling with the two enemies with the other.

How could it be possible to deal with two enemies with one hand?

What's more, the cultivation base of the two enemies is not low, and their skills are so weird.

Unexpectedly, these two enemies had no skills, and compared with Chang Decai.

In addition to killing Dao, any Taoist sect should not fight with eunuchs, this is the most unwise way of fighting, but both Zhang Jiugu and the yin and yang practitioners made serious mistakes.

This is the ninth grade skill of eunuchs - comprehensive service.

Although it is a ninth-grade skill, it is the strongest skill of the eunuch. This skill is most in line with the eunuch's temperament. As the eunuch's level increases, the effect of the skill will continue to strengthen.

Under the influence of "serving comprehensively", the enemy will unconsciously fall into the fighting rhythm of the eunuch, and enjoy the process of "fighting" under the "serving" of the eunuch.

Every time Xu Zhiqiong encountered an eunuch, he always wanted to fight with him, and always forgot to use his skills at critical moments, because he was influenced by "serving comprehensively".

But just because you forget it for a while doesn't mean you will always forget it.

The yin and yang cultivator punched and kicked a few times, and was stripped of another layer of skin. Under the pain, he woke up and began to arrange the formation.

Zhang Jiugu also came back to his senses, and once again used the blinding technique to interfere with Chang Decai's judgment.

Chang De didn't dare to fight, and led Shi Shuangliu to jump out of the courtyard wall.

Zhang Jiugu wanted to catch up, when a broom suddenly appeared in front of her, and hit Zhang Jiugu head and face.

Zhang Jiugu tore up the broom with all her strength, and Chang Decai had run away without a trace.

The yin and yang practitioners vomited blood one after another, the yin and yang magic circle dissipated, the fog in the yard disappeared, and the sound came out.

"When did Xu Zhiqiong invite such a powerful helper?"

Zhang Jiugu said: "I came to see you last night. I only know that he and the yin and yang person are not at home. Who knows that this woman is so vicious! Xiao Situ, are you okay?"

This man is Xiao Situ.

The man shook his head and said, "I'm seriously injured, so I'll go to your house to rest for a while."

"Do you want to tell Da Sima about this?"

"Tell him why? That guy is vicious, and he will definitely not let us off lightly! Now that we have found the door, we are not afraid that we will not be able to find him, and when this guy comes back, we will set up another ambush!"

The old beggar sat against the wall in the alley, motionless.

He was a beggar, and as long as he pretended to be asleep, no one would notice him.

……

Xu Zhiqiong followed a group of laborers for another day, and arrived at the Royal Hunting Garden at dusk.

Daxuan has a total of six royal hunting gardens. This is the closest hunting garden to the capital, and it is also the largest hunting garden. It is called Ponu Garden.
Ponu Garden has four forests in the southeast, northwest, and two grasslands in the middle. Three rivers run through it. The area is comparable to a county.

This hunting ground is too big!

The Royal Hunting Garden is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. After walking for more than ten miles, no one is seen, but there are many birds and beasts haunting it, which frightens everyone.

A craftsman in a penance workshop smiled and said, "I tell you, don't run around while you're working. If you're eaten by a big bug, no one will collect your corpse!"

Walking to the northwest corner of the hunting garden, everyone saw the palace.

There used to be a palace in the hunting garden, and now a new palace has been built next to the hunting garden. Xie Yong looked at the palace, smiled and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "You still said that Mr. Guogong lied to us, isn't the palace right here? So? It's almost finished, maybe let us do chores for a few days before we can go back."

Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly, but did not speak.

Throughout the day, he and Han Chen had been persuading the people around them to run away, but no one believed them.

A middle-aged man said: "The palace has been repaired, why do you ask us to come here? Could it be that after two days of work, let us go back? I'm afraid we won't even earn a dime!"

A craftsman said from the side: "Why? Are you afraid that you will lose your work? I am afraid that you will complain when you can't do it!"

Xie Yong smiled and said, "It's not a good man who complains! You have a hundred days of work, and I will work here for a hundred days!"

Everyone applauded from the side, Xu Zhiqiong said in a low voice: "Brother, after working for a hundred days, Duo'er will be married. When I go back, I will drive with your brother first, and then I can learn pottery after collecting enough tuition fees?"

"You man, what a mess!" Xie Yong was annoyed, "My brother left! I went to Beiyuan to drive a car that night, and I met that evil star, and I lost even my man and horse! I also want to learn pottery, but who? Are you raising a family?"

Xu Zhiqiong was shocked, unexpectedly, his brother was one of the more than [-] dead.

Xie Yong bit his lip and said: "Brother, I know you are a good person, I am afraid that I will be deceived, but if you still don't believe the imperial court's announcement, who else can we trust?"

A middle-aged man next to him said: "You always persuade us to leave, why don't you leave yourself? You want to eat alone here! There is no door!"

"The brother just said is right! If there is a hundred days of work, we will work here for a hundred days and earn him twenty taels of silver. We will not live in Beiyuan, and go to the east of the city to buy a house to live in!"

"When I earn money, I'll make a gold chain for my daughter-in-law, so that she won't always say that I never bought her a piece of jewelry!"

"That's right, we men have to know how to support the family!"

"With this capital, my old man can also marry a wife, so he doesn't have to go begging on the street anymore!"

Everyone laughed, Xu Zhiqiong also laughed.

Han Chen's expression became more solemn, and the bloody smell of the compass became heavier and heavier.

A craftsman came over and shouted: "Go, go to the palace first, and change your clothes for you, and see what you look like in your tattered clothes."

Everyone entered the palace, which was different from what Xu Zhiqiong had seen.

The main hall is very spacious, more than [-] people standing in it is not crowded.

The ground is made of stone, which is rare in Daxuan, where most of the palaces are made of wood.

Not only the ground is made of stone, but the walls are also made of stone, and even the roof is made of stone.

And the roof is so flat that you can't even see a seam, as if it was polished from a single block of stone.

Obviously, the construction of this palace did not start recently. How much did such a magnificent palace cost?
Xu Zhiqiong looked around, feeling strange, Lu Qingming, a national worker, stood in front of the crowd and said to them: "From today onwards, you are the craftsmen of the royal family. Don’t be ambiguous when learning skills, and don’t be ambiguous when learning crafts, from now on, follow our penance workshop to eat imperial food!”

Everyone was speechless when they heard the words.

"And teach us craft?"

"Are we people in the penance workshop?"

"Can I eat imperial food in the future?"

The crowd cheered, and dozens of craftsmen walked into the crowd, each handing out a cloth bag.

"Take off all the tattered clothes on you, what does this look like? Don't you embarrass the royal family? Take them off quickly, put them in bags and leave a mark, and I will send you new clothes soon!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little embarrassed.

Lu Qingming shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Get off!"

Everyone hurriedly began to take off their clothes, Xu Zhiqiong looked at Han Chen: "Take off?"

Han Chen turned his face and said, "Brother, can you stop looking at me?"

It doesn't matter if you just take off your clothes, the key is to put everything on your body in a bag.

An old beggar said: "Master, this is the three hundred Wen I was rewarded when I signed up, please let me take it with me!"

The craftsman smiled and said, "Old man, who can snatch yours? If you lose it, I'll give you another three hundred coins! Hurry up and pack the bag, and I'll have someone kill all the lice on it later, and then I'll return it to you." !"

Reluctantly, the old man stuffed the money into the bag, and asked for a drawing pencil from the craftsman, but he couldn't write his name, so he could only draw a few lines on the bag as a mark.

Xie Yong took off his clothes, folded them neatly into the bag, carefully put the money bag away, and neatly folded the silk handkerchief that Duoer gave him, and put it in.

The craftsmen pushed dozens of carts and sent the clothes that everyone took off to the outer hall.

Xu Zhiqiong and Han Chen didn't take off their clothes for a long time, not because they were shy, but because they couldn't take them off. Xu Zhiqiong's clothes contained the Yilang seal, the master book seal, the soft armor made by Niu Yuxian, and the hair that was collected earlier.

Han Chen couldn't take it off anymore, a bunch of yin and yang instruments were all hidden in his clothes.

The craftsman stepped forward and urged: "What are you two waiting for? Take off quickly!"

Lu Qingming, the national worker, shouted: "You two don't take off your clothes yet, go to the outer hall to show everyone things, and come back later to change your clothes."

Xie Yong said to Xu Zhiqiong from the side: "Brother, help me look after the bag, I drew a flower on the bag."

Han Chen let out a sigh of relief, Xu Zhiqiong was a little bit guilty.

Why did you just let the two of them go out and watch something?Many people still had their clothes on.

Walking out of the gate of the inner hall, Xu Zhiqiong found that the partition wall between the inner hall and the outer hall was also very strange.

This is a wooden wall, a very thin wooden wall, which seems to be a temporary partition wall.

The two came to the outer hall and stood beside a pile of cloth bags. After a while, everyone took off their bags and piled up all the bags in the outer hall. Lu Qingming said: "We are all waiting here, I will bring you new bags Clothes go!"

A group of craftsmen left the main hall and walked out of the palace one after another. Lu Qingming came in front of Xu Zhiqiong and Han Chen, and said with a smile, "You two have cultivation!"

Xu Zhiqiong was startled, and was about to attack Lu Qingming, when Lu Qingming stepped on the stone slab, an iron cage fell from the sky, locking the two of them inside.

This is really a joke, an iron cage wants to trap me?

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to tear open the iron cage, but found that the railing was only slightly deformed.

Lu Qingming said with a smile: "It's a lot of strength, you have the sixth rank of the Dao of Killing, right? Such a good cultivation, why come here to die?"

Xu Zhiqiong was still tearing at the railing, Lu Qingming said: "Don't waste your energy, I really don't know where you have the courage to find trouble in the penance workshop! This scenery is beautiful, and it will be your blessing to be buried here!"

Lu Qingming turned around and left, closing the gate of the palace.

Xu Zhiqiong said to Han Chen: "Brother Han, do you have a way to escape?"

Xu Zhiqiong had plenty of ways to escape, but he couldn't leave Han Chen here.

Han Chen threw out a piece of silver needle, stuck it on the ground, and formed a magic circle.

The silver needles glowed, but the magic circle didn't take effect, and there was a way to stop the magic circle underground.

"As expected of a penance workshop, this method is really exquisite!"

Han Chen put in more effort, put all his yin and yang energy into the silver needle, and the silver needle turned into smoke, and the formation was activated, and the two of them disappeared together with a pile of baggage.

Appearing again, the two of them had reached the woods three miles away, and they could barely see the palace through the trees.

On the compass, blood was gushing out, Han Chen said: "No, they are going to do something."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'll hold off those craftsmen first, you go save them!"

The two were just about to rush out of the woods when they heard a loud noise!
The roof of the palace fell, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.

Xu Zhiqiong stayed where he was, speechless for a while.

He understood why the roof was stone and why it was flat.

This is not a palace at all, this is a rolling machine made by a penance workshop!
He seemed to see a foam of blood in the smoke and dust, and more than [-] people were crushed into a pulp in an instant!
"These bastards!" Han Chen's eyes turned red, he took the magic weapon, and tried his best.

Xu Zhiqiong held Han Chen back.

A gust of night wind blows, carrying a little fishy smell.

A cloth bag was scattered behind him, a flower was drawn on the cloth bag, and a handkerchief fell out of it.
