Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 584 Master Was Frightened

"Zhiqiong, come out for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Master stood in front of the door of Si Guo's room and shouted, Xu Zhiqiong hurried out.

Rarely, Master would invite him to eat together.

Ten catties of bacon and two jars of fragrant mash, these were prepared by Xu Zhiqiong in advance.

Master bought four lamb legs, two smoked chickens, two oven ducks and two jars of lamb wine.

With so many things, how long will it take to eat?
Xu Zhiqiong was too worried.

But I saw the master picked up a smoked chicken, gnawed it into a skeleton between three inhalations, then picked up the wine jar and drank the whole jar of fragrant mash.

Strange, why does Master have such a good appetite?
Not just because of his appetite, he seemed frightened.

After eating another lamb leg, the master calmed down somewhat, poured Xu Zhiqiong a glass of wine, and asked, "How do you plan to deal with Jiao Liewei's matter?"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback for a moment, Master seldom cares about mortal affairs, why is he so elegant today?
"The disciple intends to deal with him, but this matter will not be ignored. If this person deserves to be killed, the disciple will never let him go."

Master sighed and said, "What if I don't want you to take care of me?"

"It doesn't matter, master," Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "I am the judge!"

Master frowned and said, "Do I have the heart to joke with you?"

Xu Zhiqiong straightened his expression and said: "The disciple didn't joke with you. The judge follows the law of heaven and follows the righteous way. This is his duty!"

The master sighed and said, "With your current cultivation, meddling in this matter is really like a mayfly shaking a tree.

Just wait for my news, until I find out some clues, try not to fight Jiao Liewei head-on, especially not to fight him in the underworld. "

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Master, what exactly did you find out?"

The master shook his head and said, "There are a few clues, but I still can't figure it out."

"Then you just say it, and I will reason with you."

"I can't tell you about this yet."

"Master, why don't you want to tell me anything?"

"This is for your sake, you can't interfere in this matter, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

"With Master taking care of me, but this life can't be saved?"

The master suddenly put down the chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, stroked his beard and said, "Zhiqiong, but you regard me as a great person?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I think the lineup of Yu Duo XingXiu is pretty big."

The master slapped his thigh: "I also think the platoon is not small, but my brother always says I'm a waste!"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "You still have a brother?"

"Yes!" Master nodded and said, "My senior brother...forget it, let's not mention him for now. I feel annoyed when I mention him during Chinese New Year.

At first I also thought that I was really a hero, but when I fought Qiongqi and was beaten half to death, I felt that I was not a hero.
Later, after recuperating for many years, I fought with Qiongqi's remnant soul again. At that time, I still had two assistants. You will recognize those two assistants. One is Lin Tianzheng and the other is Wu Xu. "

Xu Zhiqiong remembered that Wu Xu had told him about this battle, which was a battle by the Wang'an River.

The master went on to say: "At that time, Qiongqi only had less than [-]% of his combat power left. I thought I could win, but I still lost.

If Wu Xu hadn't used his anger to help the tiger, my old life would have been gone long ago. Lin Tianzheng was dying from the beating.
On the banks of the Wang'an River, every house is closed, I dragged Wu Xu and Lin Tianzheng, begging from house to house,
Me, I don't even come here for a bite of food... Do you think I'm a waste? "

Having said this, the master was silent for a moment.

He took a sip of the wine and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "If your mother hadn't given me a mouthful of porridge, Wu Xu would have disappeared. This incident has also affected you, and you have left a strange remnant on your body. Do everything you have learned in your life, seal up Qiongqi's remnants, let it slowly dissipate, until today, I don't know how much is left."

"Is it... residual breath?"

Master nodded: "It's just a little soulless soul left, you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Zhiqiong felt that the monster in his body was not as simple as a little soulless soul left.

It seems that there are some things that even the master doesn't know.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong's dazed expression, the master frowned and said, "What's wrong? Is that soulless soul unsafe?"

"I didn't even know it was Soulless, I thought it was Qiongqi who left the technique to me." Xu Zhiqiong cleverly changed the topic.

The master nodded and said: "It is because of Qiongqi's soulless soul that you have Qiongqi's talent, and your talent skill-transfer flowers and trees, is the fifth-grade skill of Qiongqi cultivators.

Among the four evil spirits, Qiongqi is the most cunning, his techniques are difficult for people to distinguish, and it is easy to be misunderstood as the methods of other sects.
Did you also suspect at first that embedding flowers and grafting trees is a greedy technique? "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Yes, it's true, Taotie is also an inspiration."

The master shook his head repeatedly and said: "Taotie can only absorb the energy outside the body, if the energy does not leak out, the Taotie cultivator will not be able to absorb it at all.

Just like eunuchs, their aura is almost never leaked out, gluttonous greed never takes advantage of them,
But you can steal the energy from the eunuch, the method of greed is to rob, your method is to steal, and not just steal the energy,
You can still steal strength, you can also steal spirituality, and if you practice purely, you can even steal real things. "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "This master taught me that I can steal sand and copper coins."

"What's the use of stealing those things?" Master smiled. "The methods of Qiongqi and Taotie are very different, but the world will always misunderstand Qiongqi's evil methods as gluttonous greed. This is Qiongqi's brilliance. , even Master has been fooled.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiong remembered an important thing.

He thought of Ye Ansheng.

"Master, you have a method to change memory, is that also a Qiongqi technique?"

The master nodded and said: "I have fought Qiongqi many times, and I have also got a lot of his remnants, so I learned his third-grade skill, which is unforgettable. This technique can tamper with people's memories.

Qiongqi and evil methods are all good. I thought that when you reached the sixth rank, you would use your residual breath to learn more Qiongqi techniques. Unexpectedly, you created an incongruous big hook...

That's fine too, presumably the remnants of your body have already dissipated. "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "It's gone, it's gone..."

How could it be gone, the monster is in the body!
Is that monster really poor?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help shivering: "Master, you just said that the unforgettable skill is... a third-grade skill?"

Master nodded.

Xu Zhiqiong fought another cold war.

He realized another terrible thing.

Ye Ansheng, the former owner of the penance workshop, he is a third-grade cultivator of Qiongqi's evil way!
I have fought against him before, fighting to the death, how can I survive?
Could it be because of the monster in my body...

Xu Zhiqiong tried his best to restrain his expression, trying not to show any abnormalities.

It's not that I can't trust Master.

If Master knows that there is something special in my body, it is not as simple as a soulless soul.

If Master had made some kind of emergency measures, he would probably lock me up in the Xingxiu Corridor, and he would not let me out easily.

If I were the master, it would definitely be possible to do that.

Even more ruthless!

Master sighed a long time: "The matter of Nufu's teaching is also very difficult, and I will help you to investigate, but everything in the world depends on you in the end.
I am Xingxiu, and my every move is watched by others. Some things can’t help you. If I help you, it will bring you disaster. In short, let’s find a way to overcome this difficulty. "

What exactly did Master go through?
Why are you so pessimistic today?

Xu Zhiqiong added another glass of wine to Master: "Master, I will listen to your advice, but you have to promise me one thing."

Master nodded and said, "Let's talk and listen."

"You have to live, live well, don't lie there half dead and scare me like last time."

The master hiccupped: "Presumptuous, of course I have to live, I am Yu Duo XingXiu, who can kill me? Who can..."

In the middle of speaking, the master shivered again, as if choking on the cold wind: "You have to remember one thing, you must never go to Liangjie Prefecture!"

After eating and drinking enough, the master was a little drunk, went into the back room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Xu Zhiqiong covered the master with a quilt, sighed softly, and said, "Who on earth scared you into such a state? If you know you're scared, don't go out wandering anymore."

After speaking, Xu Zhiqiong picked up the brush and drew a plum blossom on Master's face.

……

In the east courtyard of the Marquis Mansion, the sisters lay down in the main hall and fell asleep.

Tao Huayuan got up quietly, packed her bags, and prepared to return to Yu Xianguo.

When I was a child, I spent the New Year in Yin Yang Division, and later I went to Yuyao Palace, serving Princess Yuyao every year for the New Year.

The New Year is a trouble for her, she has never been so happy as this year.

She couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear this good life, and she couldn't bear this good sister.

I can't bear to go back.

Tao Huayuan was about to activate the magic circle when Xu Zhiqiong hugged her suddenly when she felt warmth behind her.

"Good Taoer, where are you going?"

Tao Huayuan scolded and said, "You still have the face to ask me? Where did you go! I haven't seen anyone all night!"

"It was boring last night. Except for Xia Hu and Lao Chang, you are not familiar with these people. Today I invited Brother Tong and Brother Han, let's continue to have fun!"

Tao Huayuan lowered her head and said, "It's time for me to go back to Yu Xian. On the first day of the new year, Emperor Yu Xian will visit the officials. It's hard to say whether he will go to the Marquis's Mansion."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "What's the matter if we go or not? I'm still waiting for him in the mansion every day? I told Qiao Zhu and Pu Ye that if someone came to me, just say that I went out to play, and we are in the capital." Have fun for a few days."

Tao Huayuan was full of joy, she hugged Xu Zhiqiong and kissed again and again, but it was rare that her belt was not tightened.

Xia Hu was lying on the table and talking in her sleep: "Bet big, bet big this time!"

It was only then that Xu Zhiqiong noticed that she was only wearing a single shirt.

He quickly took off his outer shirt and put it on Xia Hu: "How come you wear so little in such a cold day? What were you doing last night?"

Tao Huayuan said with a smile: "My sisters are playing money, Xia Hu lost the most, she lost all her clothes, and I bought the last one for her."

Xu Zhiqiong said in amazement: "No, Xia Hu is a person who is used to ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, so he couldn't lose so badly."

Tao Huayuan said: "Some were lost, some were given up. She is trying to help her sisters in different ways."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Zhao Baijiao, she was sleeping soundly holding a pile of money.

He ignored the others, he just picked up Xia Hu and sent her to the back room to fall asleep.

"Tao'er, the snow scene outside is just right, follow me out for a walk."

Tao Huayuan nodded happily.

The two of them had just arrived at the courtyard, and before they could reach the gate, the snow-covered ground suddenly became as black as ink.

Sen Han's Yin Qi rushed towards his face, Xu Zhiqiong was startled, and blocked Tao Huayuan behind him.

"Not good! It's the underworld, and there are meditation practitioners!"

Tao Huayuan and Xu Zhiqiong stood back to back, shedding a petal, ready to fight at any time.

On the roof, a man looked down at the two of them, and shouted sharply: "The Southeast Ghost Emperor is here, you can catch him before you hang up!"
