Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 593 Xu Zhiqiong's Etiquette
Xu Zhiqiong was possessed by the black mouse, and was about to escape from the wine shop, but was stopped by a talking white mouse.

The white mouse knocked Xu Zhiqiong down with its tail. If he hadn't been merciful, it would have killed Xu Zhiqiong directly.

"Tell me, who told you to come, and what did you hear?" The white mouse wanted to find out Xu Zhiqiong's origin first.

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't speak, because he couldn't speak when he was on a mouse.

He saw that there was another tunnel next to him, and he didn't care where it led, so he plunged into it. After walking a few steps, he saw a white mouse appearing in front of him again.

"If you don't answer again, I'll kill you!" The white mouse flicked its tail suddenly and broke one of the black mouse's front paws.

The black mouse wailed and rolled back and forth on the ground.

The white mouse was startled, stared at the black mouse for a moment, and realized that it was an ordinary mouse.

After entering the tunnel, Xu Zhiqiong transferred his soul to another gray mouse at an extremely fast speed.

This is the art of soul jumping.

This is one of the fruits Xu Zhiqiong has harvested under Master's torment for the past three days.

Because of the non-stop jumping of attention, Xu Zhiqiong's soul can also jump quickly on different mice.

The gray mouse rushed to the outside of the wine shop, and the white mouse quickly caught up.

Squeak!

When the white mouse screamed, the surrounding mice quickly fled.

It stepped forward and swung its tail directly, breaking the gray mouse's two hind legs.

The gray mouse collapsed on the ground, supporting its body with difficulty with its two front paws.

The white mouse walked up to him, swung its tail suddenly, and aimed at the gray mouse's head.

This time Xu Zhiqiong failed to jump out of the soul, because the white mouse expelled all the surrounding mice.

He was warning Xu Zhiqiong that this was the last chance.

The gray mouse lowered its head and wrote on the ground with its front paws: "I can't speak."

The writing was crooked and not easy to read. After seeing it, the white mouse asked, "Who sent you here? You write it first!"

The mouse slowly wrote a few words on the ground:

The man who sent me, he won't let me speak.

The white mouse was furious: "Why are you writing such nonsense!"

After saying that, the white mouse flicked its long tail, and wanted to teach Xu Zhiqiong some lessons.

A black mouse suddenly rushed over from behind, jumped up, and bit the white mouse's tail fiercely.

The white mouse was completely defenseless, and this bite directly bit off its tail.

Under the severe pain, the white mouse was slightly distracted, and the black mouse passed by the gray mouse, took a soul with it, and rushed out of the wine shop.

The gray mouse has Xu Zhiqiong's soul, and the black mouse also has a soul.

There is only one soul left, which stays in Xu Zhiqiong's real body.

After being tortured by his master for three full days, Xu Zhiqiong finally distributed his soul to two mice at the same time. This black mouse was just caught by him outside the wine shop, just to save the soul trapped in the mouse den.

The black mouse brought back one soul from the gray mouse, and when the three souls were gathered, Xu Zhiqiong immediately went to the Xingxiu Gallery.

As soon as Xu Zhiqiong's figure disappeared, Xu Rishu chased him out.

Judge?

He actually knows the art of dividing souls!

It must be the experienced disciple.

That's all, let him go for a while.

Xu Rishu took out a white mouse from his cuff, and touched its broken tail distressedly: "You have been wronged."

……

Xu Zhiqiong sat on the corridor, still in shock.

He glanced at the main hall, but the master was not there.

He got into the thinking room, silently thinking about what happened.

This Xu Xingxiu is very good at using mice.

Could it be that he is the legendary Void Rat?

Xurishu and Niu Jinniu are both from the northern seven constellations, what conflicts have arisen between them?
Xu Rishu wants to kill Jiao Liewei, Niu Jinniu wants to protect Jiao Liewei, the conflict has risen to the level of stars, does Xuanwu True God not care?
Their last battle had obviously interfered in the mortal world, and it seemed that the stars were also frantically testing on the edge of the rules.

If Xu Rishu didn't know nothing about me, if I hadn't mastered the soul separation technique, there would be absolutely no way to get out of Xu Rishu's hands this time.

The soul splitting technique is a means of saving one's life, so it must be practiced diligently.

Master is not here, how should I practice?
What's so difficult about it, wouldn't it be enough to concretize a master?

But the embodied master has no soul.

It doesn't matter, just give him a soul.

Xu Zhiqiong used the soul-dividing technique to distribute one soul to his embodied master.

Not to mention, with the concrete form of the soul, it is really similar to the master.

He imitated his master's voice, cleared his throat and said, "Crazy man, why do you always draw plum blossoms on my teacher's face?"

Xu Zhiqiong himself replied: "Master, I will not paint plum blossoms in the future, I will paint chrysanthemums in the future!"

"Master" nodded and said, "Chrysanthemums can be painted!"

……

After playing in the painting workshop for five full days, the family was exhausted and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xia Hu lay down in the bedroom, and said with a long breath, "It's still comfortable lying on my own bed, dangling on that boat, my internal organs are almost displaced."

Zhao Baijiao rested for a while and began to pack her luggage.

Xia Hu frowned and said, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Baijiao smiled and said: "The year is over, and I should go home. These days, I have been taken care of by you a lot. I am not too much, and I will leave two silver coins..."

Xia Hu said angrily: "You are being idle, take the money, and live here securely!"

"Sister, I know what you want. Since I came to this world, I haven't had such a good year. I am content."

"Live here if you are content. If you want to find a better place, I won't stop you!"

Zhao Baijiao shook her head and said, "What's the matter if I live in your house like this?"

"You are the elder sister brought by my natal family. What's wrong with living in my house? There's just one thing, don't lay hands on my man!"

Zhao Baijiao sneered and said, "Instead of being wary of me, it's better to be wary of a woman called a girl. To be honest, I've never seen such a beautiful woman."

Xia Hu snorted coldly and looked out the window for a while.

Xu Zhiqiong is learning illusion with Mei Ling.

He showed the Great Goulan Realm in front of his younger sister, who shook her head and said, "You should start with the basics of spells first. If you study for a while, you may be able to make some achievements."

What he said hurt.

Xu Zhiqiong's Great Goulan Realm has deceived many high-quality cultivators, but his sister said it was worthless.

"Where is my method wrong? The senior said it bluntly. It doesn't need to be so profound."

Mei Ling smiled, and a voice suddenly came from behind her head: "Who are you talking to?"

Xu Zhiqiong was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Mei Ling sweeping snow in the distance.

When I turned around, I saw Mei Ling still in front of me, and smiled at Xu Zhiqiong: "Let's say you have weak foundation, but you have to work hard and think hard to use an illusion, and the other side is a little bit on guard. You are going to miss this side, such a clumsy method, but where do I start?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't dare to argue, so he hurriedly saluted, "I'll thank you for your advice, senior."

"You are good at using the power of imagery, and you know the art of yin and yang. With these two means, illusion should not be so naive. And remember one sentence, no trace, no form, no sound, no color, changing between ordinary, is the superior illusion. Now that you understand the meaning of these words, I will teach you some methods."

Xu Zhiqiong returned to the bedroom, and carefully figured out what Mei Ling meant. Just as he was about to comprehend a little, he suddenly saw a message from Han Di: "The chief eunuch, Lu Yunxi, is asking to see you."

Lu Yunxi came in person, he must have let Xu Zhiqiong enter the palace.

In the palace, Lu Yunxi directly brought Xu Zhiqiong to the secret pavilion, met Emperor Changle, Xu Zhiqiong was about to salute, but saw Emperor Changle worried:
"Zhiqiong, the envoy from the Yelang Kingdom is here. I really don't want to see him. Go and help me."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in amazement: "How can you support me at will? Let me tell you what you want first?"

"My intention is to let him go away immediately. Go as far as he can, and I'm not afraid of offending him. It's just that some vulgar words can't come out of my mouth."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I'm also a gentle person. I'm not good at such things as swearing. Princess Yuyao is better at it."

Emperor Chang Le smiled: "That's right, why did I forget her, I'll find her later, you go with her, and get rid of this bird man!"

Not long after, Liang Yuyao came to the Secret Pavilion, listened to Emperor Chang Le's arrangement, and the two went to the Hall of Heroes together.

In the Hall of Heroes, Hong Zuchang, the envoy of Qiancheng Kingdom, was waiting in the main hall, and Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, sat with him for a long time.

Hearing that Xu Zhiqiong was coming, Yan Anqing went out first, and told Xu Zhiqiong a few words: "Your Honor, Qiancheng Kingdom follows the ancient etiquette, and you must not lose the etiquette."

Ancient ceremony?

What kind of ancient ceremony?
Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask any further questions, and walked straight to the main hall with Liang Yuyao.

Yan Anqing said to Liang Yuyao again: "Your Highness, wait outside the hall, the customs of Qiancheng Kingdom are different from those of Daxuan."

Liang Yuyao asked in surprise, "What's the difference?"

Yan Anqing pondered for a moment, and replied as tactfully as possible: "Qiancheng Kingdom regards the princess as a royal family member, and according to the etiquette and law of Qiancheng Kingdom, the family members do not discuss political affairs."

To put it bluntly, according to the rules of Qiancheng Kingdom, Liang Yuyao, as a woman, is not qualified to participate in political affairs.

No wonder Emperor Chang Le didn't want to see the envoys of Qian Cheng Kingdom.

Liang Yuyao said: "I came here at the emperor's will, how dare you stop me?"

Yan Anqing saluted again and again: "Your Highness, appease your anger. This is not the minister's original intention, but the ancient etiquette of Qiancheng Kingdom."

Liang Yuyao ignored Yan Anqing and walked straight to the main hall.

Yan Anqing didn't say any more, this result was within his expectations, he just explained the current situation, once the two parties had a dispute, he could take his own responsibility completely.

Before entering the main hall, Yan Anqing gave another instruction: "Qiancheng Country has the ritual of three invitations and three concessions. Before sitting down, he will invite two people to sit down first, and the two have to give way three times before taking their seats."

Liang Yuyao said with a sullen face: "It's so polite, that's all, I'll write it down."

When they arrived at the main hall, Yan Anqing stepped forward to introduce Hong Zuchang, an envoy in his 50s, and saluted first: "Your Majesty, please."

He didn't look at Liang Yuyao, as if he regarded Liang Yuyao as air.

Liang Yuyao was in an embarrassing situation, the other party ignored her at all, and she didn't know whether to go through the process of three requests and three concessions with the other party.

While annoyed, Xu Zhiqiong returned the salute without saying a word, and sat directly on the master's seat.

Hong Zuchang was stunned for a moment, the other party did not follow the etiquette of three requests and three concessions.

Liang Yuyao was overjoyed and sat down with Xu Zhiqiong.

Hong Zuchang stood in the center of the hall, frowned and said: "Your country doesn't know etiquette?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Daxuan does not follow your country's etiquette."

"I follow the ancient rituals thousands of times, which is the public ritual of the world!" Hong Zuchang looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a smile on his face, and looked at this reckless and arrogant young man.

He knew that Xu Zhiqiong would definitely not recognize the public rites of the Qiancheng Kingdom, but he was prepared. He started with the origin of the etiquette, quoted extensively, and cited many classics and historical materials. After several debates, Xu Zhiqiong was able to I was speechless.

As long as you have the upper hand in the first debate, you will be able to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

He wants Xu Zhiqiong to learn to respect the Qiancheng Kingdom and learn to respect the etiquette and laws of the Qiancheng Kingdom.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xu Zhiqiong didn't discuss etiquette with him, but only responded to him:
"If you don't want to sit, just stand!"
