Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 348 Night Quest Manor
A girl leads the way.

Two girls are in arms.

The three brought Xu Zhiqiong into the elegant room, and did not give Xu Zhiqiong a chance to move freely.

Without the opportunity to move freely, how can we investigate this Hundred Flowers Manor?
Entering the elegant room, a girl cooks wine, a girl prepares pastries, and another girl prepares the best river prawns and lake crabs.

"Guest officer, open your mouth to eat. Only when you are full will you have the strength to do things."

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "It's so late, what else are you doing?"

The girl covered her mouth and smiled: "Our sisters can wait for the guest officer to do great things!"

Xu Zhiqiong still pretended to be confused: "What big things can I do?"

The girl pouted and said, "Guest officer, you really don't understand?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "I really don't understand!"

A girl patiently explained: "There are multiple households in the front, and there are twists and turns in the back. If the guest officer has no strength, how can he survive tonight?"

Xu Zhiqiong patted his chest and said, "I do have strength, let me drink two cups to make me stronger!"

The girl smiled and said, "Why are you so brave, can our sisters eat you?"

Another girl smiled and said, "If you want to eat, just eat that little bit, it won't hurt at all."

Xu Zhiqiong ignored it and just ate the wine. He ate two jugs of wine, one plate of shrimp and one plate of crab. When he was slightly drunk, he lay on his back on the couch.

"Guest officer, are you brave enough? Our sisters are here, you can enjoy yourself, guest officer, guest..."

The throat tightened, and the breath entered the throat against the upper edge of the nasal cavity, and Xu Zhiqiong let out an even and deep snoring sound.

"Sleep?"

"Really asleep?"

The three women massaged Xu Zhiqiong's body with their slender hands.

First there are six hands.

Soon it became eight.

More than thirty.

over a hundred...

More than a hundred hands massaged his body, and Xu Zhiqiong, with his eyes closed, felt that there were fingers on every corner of his body, and he could peel off a piece of his skin at any time.

Don't move, don't move.

They are all blood cultivators, and their cultivation bases are all above mine.

Xu Zhiqiong let go of his thoughts and pretended to be asleep. The fingers on his body became less and less, gradually disappearing.

A woman said: "This guy is motionless, it seems that he is really asleep."

Another woman nodded and said, "Yes, the guy didn't move."

"Whether he is really sleeping or not, just watch him."

"I'm a little hungry, don't waste the remaining crabs."

"You have a bad stomach, eat less crabs and eat more pastries, don't let him want to bend your intestines for a while, and you can't hold it any longer."

The three women began to eat and drink, Xu Zhiqiong's ears quivered, trying to find a mouse.

This elegant house is too quiet, not even a mouse.

And when they are tired, I will walk around and catch one back...

"Don't go anywhere, don't move around, don't do anything tonight, either enjoy yourself with these girls, or sleep soundly."

A pair of eyes opened deep in Xu Zhiqiong's heart, and the monster woke up again.

Xu Zhiqiong held his breath and was about to dive into the depths of his heart, but he heard the monster say: "I finally gathered some strength, don't rush to breathe, this place smells so bloody, I slept soundly, but I was all disturbed by this The smell woke me up,

To tell you the truth, with your little ability, you are lucky to be able to get out alive. Don't mess around, don't talk or move, don't think that you can get away with the special Taoism. If the ruthless people here make a move, no When you mobilize the power of imagery, you will die immediately. "

What kind of ruthless person?Can it make me unable to mobilize even the power of imagery?

The monster couldn't hear Xu Zhiqiong's inner voice, but he could guess what Xu Zhiqiong was thinking.

"Do you want to know the identity of that ruthless man? Let me tell you, his avatar almost killed you back then, and I drove him away with this remnant soul.
Now that his true self is here, if you die again, I will not be able to save you! "

While speaking, the monster's tone gradually weakened, and those eyes closed again.

Doppelgänger!Deity!
The clone who was driven away by him is an evil star!

The true deity of the evil star is in Baihuazhuang!

No wonder everyone who is casually named has a fifth-grade cultivation base. This is not a silk and satin village, but it can be regarded as the palace of Xingjun.

Suffering from the cold and rolling on his back, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help turning over.

The three women turned their heads together and stared at Xu Zhiqiong. The murderous look in their eyes made Xu Zhiqiong almost tremble.

Listen to people's advice and eat well.

No matter what the identity of the monster is, his advice is correct, don't act rashly tonight, and sleep soundly here.

The monster mentioned the remnant soul twice, thinking about what Wu Xu said in Beiyuan at that time, it can be concluded that this monster is Qiongqi.

But the dean said that Qiongqi's appearance is a mediocre man, why do I see a monster with a vague figure in the depths of my heart?

Is the image of the man a disguise?
But he fought with his master, the dean and Wu Qianhu until the end, did he still not show his original shape?
If this is the case, Qiongqi can be regarded as a real actor.

What about his skills?

My innate skill was given to me by Qiongqi, that's for sure.

The ability to absorb energy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like gluttonous.

Could it be that this monster is Taotie's true self, pretending to be Qiongqi on purpose?

But why is Taotie himself worried that he will be swallowed by Taotie's outer body? Could it be that Taotie's outer body can't even distinguish his own soul?

Thoughts rolled in his mind, and Xu Zhiqiong didn't sleep all night.

At dawn the next day, Sui Zhi came to call the door, the three girls woke up Xu Zhiqiong, helped him get dressed, and sent the two of them into the courtyard.

The old shopkeeper was waiting in the yard with a smile all over his face: "Guest officer, Zhenjin has been prepared for you. Would you like to inspect it now?"

A piece of brocade with hundreds of flowers weighs twenty-five taels.

The price of Hundred Flowers Brocade is four times that of gold of the same weight, and a piece of brocade can be sold for a hundred taels of gold.

Calculated according to the official price, one tael of gold can be exchanged for four taels of silver. This is only a nominal official price. In the actual exchange process, it is five for six, that is, five or six taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold.

Based on this calculation, two thousand taels of silver would buy five bolts of real brocade at most, but Hua Chunting, the owner of Baihua Village, bought ten bolts of real brocade for Sui Zhi.

"Eight horses are sold to you, and two horses are given by our owner!" The old shopkeeper squinted his eyes and smiled. "This business, we Zhuangzi will not make any money, just to make you a friend!"

Sui Zhi praised repeatedly, got into the carriage immediately, and went back to the inn with Xu Zhiqiong.

Does he really have money to give?
Have!
Two thousand taels of silver, fifty taels and one ingot, forty ingots in total, were handed over to the old shopkeeper on the spot.

The old shopkeeper inspected the quality and weight, cupped his fists and saluted and said: "I like you as a straightforward businessman. There are two high-quality soft cigarettes in the shop, and I will bring them to you together."

Sui Zhi responded politely: "The owner of the villa has already given you a generous gift, how dare you spend more money!"

The old man waved his hand and said: "You are welcome, next time you come to Qiluo County, I hope you will take care of our business!"

After the old man left, Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Uncle, you said that you want to see a big business, is it your business?"

Sui Zhi frowned and said, "Nephew, are you making fun of me? Let's not look at what happened last night? I want to visit Baihuazhuang at night, but I have to have that ability!
Is Hua Chunting an ordinary person?Are those women ordinary people?Are there any ordinary people in that village? "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I don't know about others, but those girls are really unusual."

Sui Zhi sighed: "Nine twists and turns, these few new friends are really amazing."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "We're done making friends, shouldn't it be time for us to go back to camp?"

"What are you going back to the camp for?" Sui Zhi was a little annoyed, "Why did the two thousand taels of silver go to waste?"

"So many brocades are not in vain."

Sui Zhi touched the material of the clothes: "The things are good, but my heart really hurts, I have to go to Baihuazhuang again tonight."

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Another two thousand taels of silver?"

"What's the matter with Yinshan?" Sui Zhi snorted coldly, "I was invited to go last night, but I have to go by myself tonight."

"I don't know the way, but how can I get there? The carriage is covered with curtains all the way, so that no light can get through."

Sui Zhi said with a smile: "Nephew, can a curtain block you? If you say you don't know the location of the villa, uncle will laugh at you."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a silly smile: "My nephew is really useless, but he made uncle laugh."

Sui Zhi sighed: "You don't know who you learned from for pretending to be confused. It's not like your father Xu Rende at all. Forget it, I left some marks on the road last night. Tonight we two will grope up the mountain together."

In the middle of the night, Xu Zhiqiong followed Sui Zhi out of the county on horseback, all the way to Yanluo Mountain in the south of the county.

Smoke is a special tulle, when worn on the body, it is like a layer of smoke surrounding the skin.

Xu Zhiqiong is no stranger to this kind of fabric, but in all the well-known Goulan sheds, the dancers have a soft cigarette, and the fineness of the smoke also shows the level of Goulan and the dancer to a certain extent.

The reason why this mountain is called Yanluo Mountain is because the mountain fog is quite thick, like a layer of soft smoke, covering the mountain.

It was originally a very elegant mountain name, but the local people changed the tone and called it "Yan Luo Mountain".

This is not a random change. There is a rumor in Qiluo County that if there is smoke on the Yanluo Mountain, all the people who go up the mountain will go and never return.

"Nephew, you have to follow me closely all the way. If you accidentally lose track of me, go to Yan Luo Hall and tell Xu Rende, don't blame me, you are useless!"

Xu Zhiqiong followed Sui Zhi all the way up Yanluo Mountain. He didn't know why Sui Zhi was able to find Baihuazhuang, and he didn't know what marks Sui Zhi had left along the way. The two walked quickly in the mountain. In less than half an hour, he saw the huge manor from a distance.

Sui Zhi pointed to a grove in front of him and said: "There is a sentry in that grove, with a cultivation base of at least seven ranks, and without the means of invisibility, it is absolutely impossible to enter Baihuazhuang."

"There is still a means of invisibility!" Xu Zhiqiong took out a hidden mirror, and took a picture of the two of them under the moonlight, and the two figures disappeared.

Sui Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "That's it?"

Xu Zhiqiong straightened his chest and said, "This is really invisible!"

"How dare you say you're really invisible with just this little blindfold?" Sui Zhi shook his head repeatedly and said, "You also practiced Yin Yang Art, so you came back after learning such a little skill?"

"Isn't this going to work?"

Sui Zhi said: "If you call it a fifth grade, you can see through it at a glance, that's all, if you use this method together with my technique, you may be able to deceive it, but it's a pity that you have so much energy."

"What technique does uncle use?"

"Fifth grade skill of military strategist - Stealth without sound!"

This is a skill specially used by military strategists for marching. Sui Zhi's cultivation is the fifth rank of the Dao of Killing and the fifth rank of the Dao of War, at least on the surface.

Relying on his five-rank cultivation as a military strategist, Sui Zhizhi let an army of [-] march quietly.

Of course, the so-called silence does not mean that there is no sound at all, it just makes the march of the army extremely concealed.

Moreover, this skill consumes a lot, and it is indeed a waste of energy to only use it on two people.

Xu Zhiqiong's ability to hide form, coupled with Sui Zhi's stealth and silence, the two avoided the sentinels in the forest and jumped over the wall into Baihuazhuang.

Climbing to the top of a tall building, the two raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and only then did they see the whole picture of Baihuazhuang.

This manor has more than one hundred yards, large and small!
This is still a place with lights, and some places are not lit, but you can still see some building outlines.

Sui Zhi looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "I don't know the way, but this trip depends on you, let's see if there is business in the yard?"

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "What does uncle mean by that? It's my first time here too, how can I know the way? How do I know what business is there?"

"Is this really your first time here?" Sui Zhi looked at Xu Zhiqiong and smiled strangely.

What are you laughing laughing?

"It's my first time here. Could it be that you've seen me here?"

"I haven't seen you, maybe I have seen some of your friends."

"My friend?" Xu Zhiqiong looked confused.

Sui Zhi smiled, and turned the subject: "Since it's the first time here, we can only bump into each other,"

After finishing speaking, Sui Zhi took Xu Zhiqiong and jumped across the courtyards one by one.

There is a spring in the first yard, two men are soaking in the spring, and several women are waiting for them, but no business is seen at the moment.

There is also a soup spring in the second courtyard. Two women are soaking in the spring, and several men are serving them very well.

There is no soup spring in the third courtyard, and several strong men are sorting the brocade, which is the warehouse.

There is no soup spring in the fourth courtyard, but this courtyard is very large, and it is densely packed with cages.

Sui Zhi lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Lucky tonight, I found the right place so quickly."

Where?
This courtyard should be a prison.

What are you doing here?

Xu Zhiqiong was about to ask a question, but Sui Zhi said: "Nephew, don't make a sound, there will be guests coming, and their ears are very sensitive."

have a guest?
Not long after, two men walked into the yard, looking at their bodies still steaming, they should be the guests who should have soaked in the hot spring.

Why do guests have to come to see the cell?

Xu Zhiqiong opened the pupil of crime, and stared at the two guests.

The two of them only had rank nine cultivation bases, but they couldn't see the horns on their heads.

You can see your cultivation base, and it's very low, but you can't see your sin karma.

This situation means many possibilities.

It is possible that these two people practice strange arts and have the means to hide their crimes, which is very common in the Blood Sect.

It is also possible that these two people practice Canglong Domineering. This possibility is not impossible. It is very normal for members of the royal family to have contacts with wealthy businessmen.

There is another possibility that these two people are the same way.

Xu Zhiqiong watched quietly, watching the two men chatting with the prison guard, and the prison guard led four people out of the cage.

The four people were head-covered and their hands and feet were tightly bound.

The prison guard brought two single knives and handed them to the two.

These two men raised their single sabers, two of them, and beheaded the four prisoners separately.

These four prisoners died unjustly, and the crimes on their heads exceeded five inches.

But why did Baihuazhuang imprison these villains?

Why execute these villains again in the middle of the night?

Why do you have to ask the guests to do it?

What happened next said it all.

The two men bent down and twisted each of the four heads.

In the eyes of others, it was just a twist, but Xu Zhiqiong could see clearly that these two people took away the crimes of the four prisoners.

Sui Zhi smiled at Xu Zhiqiong from the side.

"Nephew, do you recognize these people? Do you want to introduce them to uncle?"
