Judge of the Lamp

What is the mystery of the so-called spiritual realm?
What exactly does Tai Bu want to get from the spiritual realm?
No matter what his purpose was, Xu Zhiqiong didn't want Tao Huayuan to take risks.

"Tao'er, if you don't go, what will Tai Bu do to you? Presumably he won't come to Yu Xianguo to look for you."

Tao Huayuan said with a bitter face: "He said that he has written this matter down in the iron book, and if I break my promise, he will never let me go."

Iron word book?
Tao Huayuan is thousands of miles away, can iron words be of any use?

Could it be this old thing talking nonsense?
Don't be rash.

Tai Bu's scheming is hard to guess, it's hard to say what kind of means he will use.

Since he dared to let Tao'er come alone, he must have a way to control her.

"Forget it, let me think about countermeasures in the past few days, and make a decision when I arrive in Wansheng City."

At dawn the next day, Mo Chi bid farewell to Kekun, the lord of Qingshui City, and took Xu Zhiqiong and others to Wansheng City.

The handsome women were waiting outside the gate of the mansion carrying wooden beds. Xu Zhiqiong said to Kekun, "Please trouble the city lord to prepare two carriages."

Mo Chi was surprised, "Why do you want a carriage?"

"It's a long way to go, if I let these girls carry it all the way, I really can't bear it."

Mo Chi was puzzled: "You pity such a woman?"

"Shu Li, who is as beautiful as a flower, but who doesn't feel pity?"

Out of etiquette considerations, Xu Zhiqiong asked the girls to carry him into Qingshui City yesterday.

It's nothing more than walking for a while, if Xu Zhiqiong doesn't feel so majestic if he is being carried away, he feels ashamed and flustered.

Mo Chi had no choice but to order Kekun to prepare a carriage, and the girls followed the carriage and walked all the way to Wansheng City.

Yu Xianguo didn't only have jungles. Passing through a mountain range, Xu Zhiqiong saw a large field, with rolling wheat waves, which gave Xu Zhiqiong the illusion of being trapped in the sea.

Those who are busy in the wheat field are all women. Looking at them as children of sin karma, many of them have cultivation bases.

At dusk, Mo Chi ordered the car to be parked and set up camp for the night. During dinner, Shan Yan looked at the waves of wheat and said, "It's time to harvest the grain for the second season."

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "You said this is the food for the second season?"

Mo Chi said, "The grain for the first season was harvested as early as April."

"Is there a third season?"

Mo Chi smiled and said nothing.

Shan Yan said from the side: "My Dayu produces four seasons of grain in a year, one season is harvested in April, the second season is harvested in June, the third season is harvested in August, and the four seasons are harvested in winter.

The twelfth month rests in the first month, the first month offers sacrifices to the fire god, the plowing starts in February, and the harvest will be harvested in April. "

Xu Zhiqiong was dumbfounded, how much grain should he produce this year?

"Cultivate like you, I'm afraid the land can't stand it?"

Shan Yan said: "The land has been cultivated for three years, and rested for a year. During the rest year, there are special farmers to cultivate the land. After one year, it will be as fertile as before."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the endless wheat waves, and couldn't help being envious in his heart.

Is he the only one envious?
Obviously not.

The Gu family fell into the hands of Xiao Songting. If he conquered Yu Xian, the Nufu Church would build an empire that would make Daxuan terrified.

……

That night, Xu Zhiqiong took out the copper lotus and tried to contact Tai Bu to discuss with him about Tao Huayuan. …

After contacting for two full hours, there was no reply from Taibo.

In the Department of Yin and Yang, Tai Bu sat in front of the green lamp, quietly listening to Xu Zhiqiong's call, but never gave a response.

"Tai Bu, have you fallen asleep all the time, I have something to discuss with you."

He knew what Xu Zhiqiong wanted to discuss with him, but it was out of the question.

Don't discuss if you don't have to discuss, so as not to hurt the peace.

After walking for another two days in a carriage, Xu Zhiqiong and his party arrived at Yu Xianguo's imperial capital, Wansheng City.

The overall structure of Wansheng City is somewhat similar to Qingshui City, it is also a circular city, but the scale of the city is much larger.

The city is five feet high, and there is a moat outside the city. Yu Xianhuang's younger sister, Princess Yanghuan, came out of the city to greet her in person.

Mo Chi got off the carriage and saluted his aunt respectfully. The two exchanged pleasantries in Yu Xian's words for a long time, but Xu Zhiqiong couldn't understand a word.

Mo Chi hurriedly introduced: "This is the Marquis Yun of Daxuan, Xu Zhiqiong."

Princess Yanghuan stared at Xu Zhiqiong's pale cheeks for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm sick, as a human race, I'm afraid no one will adopt it."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "It seems that princesses often adopt human races."

Princess Yanghuan's face darkened, her eyebrows raised, she looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "What is your identity, yet you dare to be rude to me?"

Xu Zhiqiong said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am the Marquis of Xuan Yun, and it was you who were rude first."

With a wave of Yang Huan's hand, two guards came up one from the left and the other from the right.

These two guards are men, in Yu Xianguo, it is really not easy to see a man once.

Both of them have only eighth-rank cultivation, so a princess can use such a low-level bodyguard?

When Xu Zhiqiong was in good health, he could take care of them in the blink of an eye.

It doesn't matter if the situation is bad, Tao Huayuan cast a magic circle, the two guards were caught off guard, their four legs tripped together, and they both fell to the ground.

Princess Yanghuan looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a cold face: "You are a hostage from Xuanguo, and you dare to provoke me before stepping into the capital?"

"I am Yunhou of Xuanguo," Xu Zhiqiong repeated, "It was you who provoked me first."

"I really appreciate your courage." Princess Yanghuan waved her hand again, and two women walked out behind her. These two women had fifth-rank cultivation.

Shi Cai's two men were used to show off. In Yu Xianguo, men were too rare, and having male guards by his side was a symbol of status.

These two women are not easy to deal with, and Princess Yanghuan also has a sixth-rank cultivation base.

It's not easy to deal with, but you have to deal with it.

Xu Zhiqiong would not accept this if he wanted to show off when he met him!

He mobilized the power of imagery and moved the mandarin duck blade at his waist. It seemed that he had to stretch his muscles and bones today.

Tao Huayuan's face was indifferent, and she didn't pay attention to the other party at all.

The two sides were about to fight, but Mo Chi was watching as if nothing happened.

This guy really wants to watch the show?

He didn't seem to care at all about the friction between me and this princess.

Shan Yan stepped forward and persuaded with Yu Xian's words: "Your Highness, Marquis Yun has a very high status in Xuan Guo. Since we want to form an alliance with Xuan Guo, we can't hurt him."

Princess Yanghuan glanced at Shan Yan, her eyes revealed a fierce look, and she said, "Get away!"

Shan Yan wanted to say more, but was pulled aside by Mo Chi. …

Two swords were on the verge of breaking out, and suddenly I felt a fiery air coming over my head.

Tao Huayuan was no longer indifferent.

There are high-quality cultivators around, whose cultivation base is higher than hers.

Xu Zhiqiong signaled Tao Huayuan to set up the magic circle and let her escape first.

He cannot escape himself, otherwise the alliance between the two countries will be over.

But seeing an old man swooping down from the air, he didn't come to Xu Zhiqiong or Tao Huayuan, and with a deep groan, he rushed directly to Shanyan.

"Evil barrier, take your life!"

Xu Zhiqiong took a closer look, and he recognized this person.

Yan Huan, the former grand uncle of Suzaku Palace.

But seeing Yan Huan reaching out to grab Shan Yan's head, Shan Yan tried her best to dodge, but was still caught in the shoulder, and a large piece of flesh was scorched on the shoulder.

Yan Huan groaned again, and the people around heard that it was all right, Shan Yan vomited a mouthful of blood after hearing this, and nine wheat seedlings grew out of the wound on her shoulder, and the wheat seedlings took root, spreading continuously into Shan Yan's body.

Zhuque Shengdao's sixth grade skill, Danque's nine ears.

This skill was originally not used for fighting, but for farming on barren land.

No matter how barren the land is, even if it is a rock, as long as the Nine Spikes technique is used, nine wheat seedlings can take root on this rock and multiply.

However, at Suzaku's third-grade cultivation base, the technique has changed. The Nine Spikes technique can be used on living creatures, and it has become a ruthless means to kill the enemy.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't understand how much hatred the two of them had, and why Yan Huan wanted to kill him.

But Shan Yan knew it in her heart.

When she was doing detailed work in Daxuan, she first followed King Huai, and was then captured alive by Emperor Zhaoxing.

When working under Emperor Zhaoxing, she cooperated with Gongsun Wen in Zhuque Palace in Yuanzhou to kill Liang Gongping, the holy elder of Canglong Hall.

Part of this move was due to helplessness, and the other part was from Yu Xianhuang's order. No matter what the purpose was, she had caused great harm to Bo Yanhuan, and everything in the end was blamed on Yan Huan.

Mo Chi shouted: "Uncle Da Zong, listen to me, Uncle Da Zong, Shan Yan has a problem..."

Yan Huan is not willing to listen, when he thinks of Shan Yan, his molars itch with hatred, seeing her today, how could he spare her life.

At the juncture of life and death, Mo Chi's persuasion was fruitless, and he hugged Shan Yan, blocking Yan Huan and said, "Uncle Da Zong, Shan Yan did this and was ordered by her father. If you must kill me, then kill me." !"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback, Mo Chi's attitude surprised him.

Could it be that Mo Chi and Shan Yan really have an affair?

No, it's not that simple!
Yan Huan panted for a long time.

Princess Yanghuan was beside her, her face was pale and she dared not make a sound.

This is the strength of a third-grade cultivator. If he loses his mind, no one present can stop him.

"Forget it!" Yan Huan looked at Shan Yan and said, "I'll save your life for a few days, and we'll make a deal after you finish the funeral!"

He harvested the sixth-grade skills, and the ears of wheat planted on Shan Yan disappeared.

When Yan Huan recovered, he turned his face and said to Xu Zhiqiong in Daxuan official language: "Xu Denglang, it's been a long time."

The two met in Wang'anjing and knew each other, but they didn't have any deep friendship.

Xu Zhiqiong clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Da Zong, your temper still hasn't changed."

"It's hard to change this age." Yan Huan smiled wryly, turned to look at Princess Yanghuan, and said to Xu Zhiqiong, "You and the princess seem to have some disputes at that time?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "It's not a dispute, Princess Yanghuan likes to joke, so she insists on me being a human race."

Yan Huan lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a cold expression.

Tao Huayuan was sweating profusely, ready to fight for her life.

Xu Zhiqiong looked calm and looked back silently.

After looking at each other for a long time, Yan Huan suddenly laughed.

"I heard before that you like to play jokes. You really live up to your reputation. I have fragrant mash at home. Come have a drink with me!"

Xu Zhiqiong clasped his fists and said, "The younger generation is better off obeying orders than being respectful."

Princess Yanghuan was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why Yan Huan was so kind to Xu Zhiqiong, he should not be familiar with Xu Zhiqiong.

She read it right, Yan Huan was indeed very kind to Xu Zhiqiong.

He and Xu Zhiqiong were indeed not close friends, but he liked Xu Zhiqiong's authentic official speech.

He has been in Daxuan for too long, and he likes this accent so much.
