Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 388
The appearance of Qiongqi's remnant soul is a mediocre man.

But the appearance of the outer body turned out to be a beautiful woman.

This made it difficult for Xu Zhiqiong to understand. He wanted to continue asking, but Li Shabai didn't want to answer.

He didn't want to recall anything related to Qiongqi's outer body.

Standing by the window, watching the singing and dancing on the deck, Li Shabai silently watched the prince in the crowd.

"What a young man with a heart, let's see what kind of emperor he can become."

Xu Zhiqiong poured a glass of wine for Li Shabai: "Tomorrow, I will test my cultivation in the Canglong Palace. I'm sure I'm crazy, and I don't know if it will work."

Li Shabai took the wine glass, took a sip, with a rather bitter expression: "Xu Qianhu, the wine you brew is not much better than your tea art,
You don't have to worry about tomorrow's affairs. Since Li has spoken first, he will definitely help the prince cover up tomorrow. "

Xu Zhiqiong was a little worried: "The Ninth Five-Year Lord, the lord of a country, King Jin has already seen the throne, so it's hard to say how much preparation he will make."

"Let him prepare," Li Shabai smiled indifferently, "As long as it is a mortal means, Li will let him do it!"

……

On the next day, all the ministers gathered in the Canglong Hall.

Tai Bu arrived first, and set up a white jade Ruiming Pagoda in the center of the hall.

There is no difference between the Baiyu Ruiming Pagoda and the ordinary Ruiming Pagoda, except that the material is precious, which is in line with the status of the royal family.

Tai Bu was well dressed and behaved as usual, without any trace of madness.

Liang Jixiong glanced at Tai Bu from time to time, for fear that he would suddenly fall ill.

Tai Bu looked at the prince from time to time, as if to indicate that he had already arranged everything.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the strange Tai Bu, and then at He Fang who was standing beside him.

The crown prince tested his cultivation, and it was scheduled to start at Chen Shi, but King Jin did not show up for a long time.

Liang Jixiong sent people to urge him several times, and at about the same time, King Jin finally arrived at the Canglong Hall.

As soon as King Jin entered, Liang Jixiong's fire burned his throat.

He was carried in a sedan chair.

Even when Emperor Zhaoxing was alive, he did not dare to enter the Canglong Palace like this.

"The widow is getting old, and her steps are a bit late, and she walks slowly. Please wait for a long time."

King Jin slowly got down from the sedan chair, cupped his fists at Elder Shengwei, and Liang Jixiong returned the salute symbolically.

Tai Bu stepped forward to salute and said: "His Royal Highness King Jin, everything is ready, we should test and repair it for the prince."

"No hurry." King Jin smiled calmly, looking Tai Bu up and down, "You look good today, you must have encountered some happy event."

Tai Bu was stunned: "Where does the joy come from? Please give advice from Your Highness?"

King Jin smiled and said: "Tai Bu, I heard that the double stars of your Taoist school are gone, and now you have the highest cultivation level in Yin and Yang Taoism. Do you think this is a happy event?"

Liang Jixiong immediately raised his eyebrows.

This old thief is on fire!
But Taibu didn't get angry, nor did he go crazy, and he still had a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness King Jin also understands astronomical phenomena?"

"I don't really understand," King Jin said with a smile, "Taibu please give me some pointers, this Shengke double star will be gone after all."

"Xinghui has changed, and there is a reason for it!"

King Jin said: "Tell me, what's the reason?"

Tai Bu said mysteriously: "This is a secret, I dare not tell His Highness, for fear of ruining His Highness's life."

King Jin's smile disappeared, he gritted his teeth and looked at Tai Bu. He is eighty-six years old this year, and this joke is the most intolerable for him: "Old man, do the math, how many years of life do I have left?"

Tai Bu twirled his fingers, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk about years, and it's not easy to calculate months. Let's talk about days, three days, at most five days... it seems like that's all."

"Old man, how dare you be arrogant! Left and right, take it down!" King Jin was furious, and ordered his men to get Taibu.

No one under his command stepped forward.

Capture Taibo?

They're not crazy yet.

King Jin grabbed Tai Bu and cursed at him.

Liang Jixiong exerted coercion, forcing King Jin to bow his head.

After the coercion passed, King Jin raised his head to curse again, only to find that he was holding a wooden stake in his hand.

Standing five feet away, Tai Bu said with a smile: "Your Highness King Jin, how about this wood? How about making you a high-quality longevity material?"

King Jin's face was livid, he turned his face, and said to Liang Jixiong: "This person committed a crime of disrespect, do you care?"

Liang Jixiong stared at King Jin.

The courtiers also looked at King Jin.

Great disrespect!
According to the "Da Xuan Law", disrespect is a felony, which refers to the courtesy of the emperor without his ministers.

No wonder King Jin behaved so arrogantly today, he had already regarded himself as the emperor by default.

King Jin also felt that he had said this a little too early, and changed his tone: "He is disrespectful to the royal family, and he should be severely punished!"

Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin with a fierce look in his eyes.

King Jin looked disdainful, and waved his sleeves: "This matter will never rest, and we will wait for Yuyang to test his cultivation!"

Tai Bu pointed to the Bai Yu Rui Ming Pagoda and said: "Everything is ready, just wait for His Royal Highness King Jin to be a witness."

Liang Jixiong nodded: "Yuyang, follow Taibu's orders."

Logically, since the ceremony was performed in the Canglong Temple, Liang Jixiong should pray to the true God.

But today there is no need to pray.

The prince is cheating, and he doesn't want the true God to know, and he doesn't want prayers to be answered.

The prince was just about to walk in front of the Ruiming Pagoda, and just about to stretch out his hand, when King Jin suddenly yelled, "Wait a minute!"

Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin, his eyeballs were about to sparkle.

King Jin said unhurriedly: "I am standing here today. Among you, there must be a few people who are upset, and there must be a few people who still want to look forward to the crown prince's enthronement. I advise you to get rid of this thought as soon as possible. No one can change the rules of the ancestors!"

While speaking, King Jin looked at Liang Yuyang: "Yuyang, you are a man who knows how to fight, and you have indeed made a lot of military exploits. After the widow ascends the throne, I will make you a general. Your achievements will be judged by the official historian." I will write down a lot for you, and this widow has treated you with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, if you still have a little bit of shame, leave now, and don't bring shame on yourself here."

The prince laughed and said, "King Jin, do you think that my cultivation has passed the seventh rank?"

King Jin looked at the crown prince and said with a deep smile, "Yuyang, if you admit it now, I will let it go, but if it is found out later, after the widow ascends the throne, he will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Don't blame the widow for being ruthless. "

Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "His Royal Highness King Jin, please be careful, the new king has not yet ascended the throne, the crime of deceiving the king cannot be abused."

Yushi Wang Yanyang said: "Even if King Jin ascends the throne, today's affairs come first, and the affairs of the emperor come later, how can he punish the crown prince in the name of the emperor?"

What the old censor meant was that even if King Jin became the emperor, the crown prince deceived King Jin first, and King Jin became emperor later, this time cannot be considered as deceiving the emperor.

Xu Zhiqiong sighed softly in his heart.

Old Yushi, I am really worried for you.

How can you follow King Jin's train of thought?
King Jin looked at Yan Anqing and Wang Yanyang with a ferocious smile: "Since you know that the widow is about to ascend the throne, why are you talking too much? Don't you even understand the rules of being a minister?"

Yan Anqing remained silent. If King Jin ascended the throne, he would resign immediately. He had a premonition that the various deeds of this man after succeeding to the throne would be even worse than that of Emperor Zhaoxing.

Wang Yanyang wanted to talk about the theory, but Qiu Dongcai pulled him from behind.

It's not that Qiu Dong has given up, it's because it's pointless to argue now.

If King Jin became the emperor, it would be meaningless to say anything.

He Fang, who was standing behind Liang Jixiong, bit her lip. She was glad that she agreed to Xu Zhiqiong's suggestion. If King Jin wins the world, it is really possible to destroy Daxuan within a year.

Li Shabai was in the teahouse, and could clearly hear the conversation in the Canglong Hall. He Fang had a painting scroll hidden in his sleeve, allowing Li Shabai to display his skills in the air.

Li Shabai raised his pen and drew a white jade Ruiming pagoda on the scroll, thought for a moment, but put the pen aside again.

King Jin has a plan in mind, let's see what he can do.

The prince did not quarrel with King Jin, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "After talking so much, when shall we test our cultivation?"

King Jin looked at the prince and said, "Yuyang, I really feel pity for you, you are really ignorant, let me ask again, I know you have a sixth-grade cultivation, do you think so?"

Liang Yuyang didn't want to listen to King Jin's nagging anymore, so he put his hands on the Ruiming Pagoda, and the Ruiming Pagoda lit up three floors, indicating that the prince has a seventh-rank cultivation.

Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin and shouted, "What else do you have to say?"

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone stared at King Jin, full of sarcasm, and the censors moved their jaws, ready to drown King Jin with a mouthful of clear water.

King Jin shook his head, looked at Liang Yuyang and said, "You are really obsessed! Take Ruiming Pagoda!"

With an order, the four guards carried another black jade Ruiming Pagoda.

They put the Ruiming Pagoda in front of Liang Jixiong, and a guard even looked up at Liang Jixiong.

Liang Jixiong's heart trembled, he always felt as if he had seen this guard somewhere.

Looking at the Black Jade Ruiming Pagoda, Liang Jixiong asked King Jin: "Why?"

"Elder Shengwei, Tai Bu tampered with the Ruiming Pagoda in advance, and I have been discovered by the widow. The widow has brought another Ruiming Pagoda. Dare Liang Yuyang come to test his cultivation again?"

Liang Jixiong gritted his teeth and said, "You say that Tai Bu tampered with the Ruiming Pagoda, what proof do you have?"

King Jin smiled and said, "Why, Elder Shengwei also wants to cover up for the prince? Do you dare to test it on the White Jade Pagoda?"

Liang Jixiong really didn't dare.

The White Jade Pagoda has been tampered with by Taibo, if it is not the third grade, it will be broken.

King Jin smiled and said: "If you wait to be open-minded and let the prince test it again on my tower, what's the harm?"

Liang Jixiong said, "What if you tampered with the tower?"

King Jin said to the crowd: "My lords, anyone with cultivation can come and have a try, let's see if my Ruiming Pagoda is accurate?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, Liang Jixiong stepped forward and put his hand on the top of the Heiyu Ruiming Pagoda.

The flames burned from the first floor to the seventh floor. Liang Jixiong has a third-rank cultivation base, so he can measure it very accurately.

King Jin didn't tamper with the tower.

Liang Jixiong looked at Tai Bu.

Tai Bu stared at Hei Yu Rui Ming Pagoda, his cheeks trembling.

The white jade Ruiming Pagoda is pure white and flawless.

The black jade Ruiming Pagoda is pitch black and crystal clear.

The two Ruiming Pagodas, one black and one white, displayed a strange light.

Taibo broke the defense.

King Jin didn't forget to ask: "Tai Bu, is this similar to Shengke Shuangxing?"

Tai Bu lowered his head.

Can't count on him anymore.

It is not easy for him to stand here steadily.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at He Fang.

He Fang touched the painting scroll in her sleeve.

The scroll trembled slightly, and Li Shabai responded.

This is left to me.

He had already drawn this Black Jade Ruiming Pagoda on the scroll.

The prince walked up to the black tower and put his hand on the top of the tower.

The first layer of candles lit up, and the flames were more dazzling than those in the White Tower.

A smile appeared on King Jin's face.

When the candles on the second floor were lit, King Jin said slowly to the prince: "Liang Yuyang, you have a sixth-grade cultivation, you have repeatedly argued and denied, and deceived the world. What face do you have to stand in front of the officials? Under the true god?"

The candles on the third floor lit up, and King Jin shouted loudly: "Masters, look carefully!"

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Rui Mingta.

The tower on the fourth floor is not lit.

King Jin's expression gradually froze, and smiles appeared on the faces of the officials.

Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin and shouted: "Liang Huaiyu, why are you blind? How can this be a sixth-grade cultivation?"

King Jin didn't make a sound, and looked behind him from the corner of his eye.

The guard who had glanced at Liang Jixiong smiled.

The Ruiming Pagoda on the fourth floor is already lit up, but no one can see it.

Li Shabai painted a layer of ink on the fourth floor of the Ruiming Pagoda on the scroll, and the ink covered the fire in the tower, fooling everyone present, but not the guard's eyes.

The guard's brows trembled. On Li Shabai's painting scroll, the ink marks began to melt slowly, gradually showing flames.

Li Shabai casually added a patch of ink, sensing this formidable opponent.

Just as the ink stains covered the flames, the scroll suddenly tore, and a surge of domineering energy gushed out from the crack.

Li Shabai quickly dodged, but at this moment, because the scroll was damaged, Rui Ming Pagoda had lost control.

Seeing that the flames on the fourth floor were about to appear, Li Shabai stretched out his hand and took out a new axis in the air. With a wave of his hand, the shape of the tower was formed, and with a touch of pen, he blackened the tower on the fourth floor.

In the Canglong Palace, the tower on the fourth floor was still not lit, and King Jin was in a cold sweat.

The guard's smile remained unchanged, but he was secretly working hard.

Cracks appeared on Li Shabai's scroll again, and the Ruiming Pagoda was about to lose control again. Li Shabai took the inkstone and sprinkled the ink in the air.

The inkstone shattered immediately, but the scroll was preserved, and the four-story pagoda was still unlit.

The guard blinked.

Li Shabai's attention was focused on the four-story tower, and he didn't want to be on the top of the tower, so one eye suddenly blinked.

Li Shabai's throat was suddenly strangled, and his joints could not move.

Pan python skill!

The ink on the scroll slowly dissipated, and the flames were about to be exposed.

Li Shabai, who was sitting in front of the scroll, had his joints bound, his face was blue, and he couldn't move.

He seemed to have been blown away by the guard brought by King Jin.

Click it!
Li Shabai's right arm was broken.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from both eyes, and Li Shabai cried.

Tears quickly pooled on his face, turning into the shape of a finger.

This finger flew out from Li Shabai's face, stabbed viciously at the top of the tower on the scroll, and stabbed the eye on the top of the tower.

In the Canglong Palace, the guard suddenly covered his right eye, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.

At the same time, Li Shabai broke free, picked up the brush with his left hand, and filled a piece of ink on the scroll.

The Ruiming Pagoda on the fourth floor is still not lit.

The guard murmured, "This man can be called the mortal star king."

After everyone waited for a long time, the Ruiming Pagoda on the fourth floor was still not lit.

The prince took his hand back.

King Jin was dumbfounded.

Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin with a ferocious expression: "Tai Bu, you just said, how many days does King Jin have to live?"

Tai Bu thought: "It should be three to five days."

Liang Jixiong shook his head and said, "I think you made a mistake, it's a little too long."

King Jin's face was pale, and he turned his head to look at the guard, who had disappeared.

Sitting in front of the picture scroll, Li Shabai saw four words added to the picture:
"There will be a period later."
