Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 580
On the snowy mountain road, Tai Bu sat in a small car, creaking and walking slowly.

Yue Junshan pulled the cart expressionlessly in front.

Tai Bu didn't know his name, but he saw that he had great stamina and didn't feel tired after pulling all night, so he named him A Mu.

A Mu couldn't speak, so Tai Bu sealed his soul in his body and made it into a soul puppet.

Tai Bu walked all the way back from Yu Xianguo, and got drunk whenever he encountered a wine shop.

In fact, he didn't need to walk back, he only needed a magic circle, and he could easily return to the capital.

But he didn't want to come back so early.

What are you doing back here?
Looking up, the shadow of the capital city can be seen faintly in the wind and snow.

Tai Bu looked at the city wall, only felt that the city gate on the city wall seemed to be laughing at him with a wide mouth.

After entering the capital, I walked slowly to the Yin Yang Division.

The Yin-Yang cultivator guarding the gate was at a loss for a while when he saw Tai Bu.

Tai Bu stared at the gatekeeper for a long time, and frowned slightly: "Don't you recognize me?"

The gatekeeper hurriedly invited Taibu into the Department of Yin and Yang, and when he arrived at the courtyard where Taibu lived, the gatekeeper hesitated.

There were lights on in the yard.

Tai Bu frowned and said, "Who entered my yard?"

The gatekeeper didn't know how to answer, he hesitated for a while: "I, I, I will go in and let me know."

"Tong Chuan?" Tai Bu showed a sullen expression on his face, "I'm going back to my yard, who do I want to pass on!"

He went straight into the courtyard gate, and was about to enter the house when Han Chen greeted him from inside.

"Which distinguished guest is this?" Han Chen stared at Tai Bu and carefully sized him up, "Could it be Tai Bu who doesn't belong to the world!"

"Hmph!" Tai Bu laughed dryly.

Han Chen turned around, pointed to the room and said, "Tai Bu, come in and have a cup of tea to warm up."

Tai Bu Mai stepped into the room, his old room.

The layout of the room has changed, and it has been divided into two rooms inside and outside.

The furnishings have also changed, it is no longer a blue lamp, the walls are surrounded by candlesticks, very bright.

There is a large desk in the outer room. There are more than a dozen shelves of medical books on the left side of the desk, and silver needles, knives, silk threads and other instruments are neatly stacked on the right side of the desk.

Next to the equipment, there are several puppets used to test medical skills.

Obviously, Han Chen has become the owner of this yard.

And it's not just this yard.

Tai Bu looked at Han Chen and said: "These days when I'm not here, you are in charge of the Onmyoji Division?"

Han Chen waved his hands again and again and said, "Tai Bu, this is not Han's intention, it is the emperor's will."

"The emperor appointed you to be a fortune teller?"

"That's not true. The emperor said that Tai Bu has worked hard all his life, and now he has left the mortal world and become a star king. The name of the mortal world should still be kept."

Tai Bu was surprised: "How do you say this? Does one Yin Yang Division have two Tai Bu?"

Han Chen shook his head and said, "You are still the master of Yin and Yang, but you will no longer take care of the affairs of the Yin and Yang Department in the future."

Tai Bu asked, "May I ask what your name is?"

Han Chen said with a smile: "I am the chief of the Yin-Yang Division, and I will take care of the Yin-Yang Division in the future."

"Big Bu..."

Han Chen said: "How about I show you the imperial decree?"

Tai Bu shook his head numbly: "It's okay, since it's the emperor's will, the old man has nothing to say, is there still my residence in this Onmyoji Division?"

"Yes! I have reserved a courtyard for you in the east, no smaller than this one, and I have set up an altar for you in the middle of the courtyard. Whenever you feel tired of living in Xinggong, come to Yinyang Division for two days .”

Tai Bu laughed dryly: "Okay, very good, then I'll go live."

"I'll take you there!"

The two walked towards the east courtyard together, and several onmyojis passed by, and when they saw Han Chen and Tai Bu, they hurriedly saluted.

Han Chen said: "The Xingjun of our Taoist sect is here, hurry up and prepare some sacrifices!"

The onmyojis didn't know why, so they had to keep saying yes.

Tai Bu suppressed his anger and looked around: "Why is Yin Yang Division so deserted?"

The Department of Yin and Yang is much colder than before. The small house that used to live in was full, but now seven out of ten are empty.

Han Chen said: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? I asked them to go home to visit their relatives."

Tai Bu was stunned: "Yin-yang cultivators don't need to live in the Yin-Yang Division?"

Han Chen said with a smile: "Why do you live in the Yin Yang Division? Many of my colleagues are not too young, and they should start a family. During the day, they come to the Yin Yang Division as errands. At night, if they want to practice here, they will practice, and if they don't want to practice, they will go home. Have a good time, what's wrong?"

Come when you want, leave when you want, but still ask what's wrong?
What do you think of Yin Yang Division?
Tai Bu had a sullen face and didn't speak, it was no longer his business here.

When he arrived at the east courtyard, Tai Bu saw the magnificent altar in the middle of the courtyard at a glance.

The altar was higher than his house, like a giant, looking down at Tai Bu, laughing wantonly.

Tai Bu turned back and said: "I'll see you off with Lao Da Bu. I'm tired all the way, so I'll rest first."

"It's up to you to decide."

Han Chen returned to the main courtyard and ordered the two onmyojis to say, "Tell all the people on duty in the Onmyoji Division that Tai Bu, who does not belong to the mortal world, has returned."

An onmyoji asked, "What about those who are not on duty?"

Han Chen said: "Just tell them tomorrow. For such a big matter, you must let your comrades know!"

……

Tai Bu lived in the Yin Yang Division for two days, and every day someone brought tea and food, cleaned the yard, and placed tribute on the altar every day.

Seeing them trying not to laugh, Taibu also felt uncomfortable. On the third night, Taibu decided to go out for a walk.

Where can I go?
You can't go to the wine shop, you've had enough wine along the way.

Go to the hook bar?
Listening to books, listening to music, watching dances, watching theaters...

Tai Bu feels uncomfortable when he sees everything.

After wandering around until late at night, Tai Bu went to Yinggeyuan.

Ever since Emperor Changle's financial situation improved, Yingge Academy has resumed its previous business model. If you want to get a confidante tonight, you have to take the exam first.

The venue for the Shushu Pavilion exam had already been dispersed, some of the guests stayed overnight, and some went home.

Tai Bu used a magic circle to come to the door of the pavilion master Jing Han. Here, his cold heart can still get some warmth.

He was about to open the door and go in when he heard a man's voice from inside.

"Jinghan, don't think about that ruthless old man again, he left as soon as he said, why did he think about your misery?"

"But I heard that he is back again."

"What's the matter when he comes back? He claims not to belong to the mortal world. He walks wildly and returns in a mess. The Department of Yin and Yang is no longer in charge of him, but he is no different from a bereaved dog? Poor you, how can you be buried on that old man with your infatuation."

"From that day on... it all depends on Elder Shengwei's care."

"Jinghan, let me take a good look, I like your look the most at this moment."

Taibo gritted his teeth and quietly left Yinggeyuan.

Jinghan, you ruthless woman!

Liang Jixiong, you shameless old thief!

This hatred, I remember!
Tai Bu was walking alone on the street, passed by a wine shop, entered a private room, ordered two small dishes and a jug of old wine, sat by the window and poured himself a drink.

After half a jug of wine was drunk, a man entered the private room and sat opposite Tai Bu.

Tai Bu was taken aback, staring at the other party up and down for a while.

The visitor was in his fifties, tall and strong, with high cheekbones, sharp jaws, and sharp edges and corners.

Tai Bu didn't recognize this person, so he asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and said: "People who love wine, love the old wine in this small shop the most, come and share a table with Xiongtai."

Tai Bu frowned and said: "This restaurant is deserted, there are not many customers, there are many empty tables, why do you have to share the table with me?"

The man picked up the jug and said, "I like to be lively and don't like to drink alone."

Tai Bu pressed the jug and said: "I like quietness, you can use someone else to share the table."

The man didn't leave: "He sighed heavily after drinking half a jug of wine, presumably Tai Bu has something on his mind?"

Tai Bu smiled slightly, and did not show the slightest surprise.

The other party knew him, which was expected by Tai Bu, otherwise he would not have broken into this elegant room.

The man continued: "I know how to resolve the depression in Tai Bu's heart."

Tai Bu laughed and said, "Do you know how to resolve it?"

"Isn't it just a star palace?"

Tai Bu frowned upon hearing this.

He knows about the star palace.

This is nothing unusual, I left in a hurry and came back in a panic, and Han Chen made a lot of publicity, I'm afraid many people have already guessed the reason.

Tai Bu simply asked: "Tell me, how to resolve this matter?"

"What's so difficult about it? I just found a star palace for Taibo." The man still smiled indifferently, as if it was really not a big deal.

"Look here?" Tai Bu looked at the man, already treating him as a rambling liar, "Okay, let me have a look."

The man took out a five-inch brocade box from his arms, and placed it in front of Tai Bu: "Tai Bu has a look."

Tai Bu looked at the man in surprise, and stretched out his hand to open the brocade box.

Biting yin qi rushed towards his face, Tai Bu used yang qi to make a barrier to isolate the yin qi, and took a look into the box.

Inside the box was a golden turtle.

Tai Bu stared at the golden tortoise for a while, and the intricate patterns on the turtle's back began to flow slowly, as if a river was flowing on the golden tortoise's body.

No, not a river!
It was a snake, a golden snake that was crawling on the golden turtle!

Tai Bu quickly closed the lid of the brocade box, injected Yin and Yang Qi into his eyes, and slowly calmed down the stinging pain in the eyeballs.

Tai Bu looked at the man again, and his tone was more polite: "What is this thing? I hope you can give me some advice."

The man smiled and said, "Tai Bu is well-informed, do I need to explain this matter clearly?"

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I really can't see a clue just by looking at it."

The man said: "If Tai Bu agrees to help me next time, I will give this thing to Tai Bu. If it is finally done, I will give you the Star Palace as well."

Tai Bu thought for a moment and said: "Dare to ask senior, your name?"

Tai Bu used senior to address each other.

Because he already knew the purpose of this thing, and roughly guessed the other party's status.

The man said: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Rishu."

Tai Bu was startled, his lips twitched.

"It turned out to be Senior Xu. I don't know why Senior is looking for me?"

Xu Rishu said: "I ask Tai Bu to help me kill someone."

"Who does the senior want to kill?"

"Ghost Emperor of Middle Earth, Jiao Liewei."
