Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 663 Candlestick
Does the magical eye still have a sense?
My magical eyes have been cut off, what else can I feel?
Xu Zhiqiong remained calm and calmly followed Luo Hui to the Shenyan Pavilion.

In the stone room, the eyes of Shenji had been lit up, and the figure of He Qingye appeared in the pupils. She had just killed a Shenji Shangqing in the farmland.

The person is already dead, and He Qingye is still groping around her head, she is picking up her sin karma.

Ge Junxin said angrily: "How rampant the witch is! Who is willing to take the head of this witch? Take revenge for my magic master Si Erlang!"

Everyone at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone knew in their hearts that the old Shu chief was shouting for revenge, and he was watching Lezi happily in his heart.

Lu Zuoqing was unfavorable in his career, and Shan Zhongming was careless in employing people. The old Shushou smiled and saw the two making a fool of himself, could he not be happy?
There is a person ready to move, Jiang Shengqun, the general of Shenji, wants to step forward to ask for a fight.

It stands to reason that he was not qualified to enter the Shenyan Pavilion without being summoned. He had been guarding the door, seeing Xu Zhiqiong coming, so he took the opportunity to follow in.

The guards at the Shenyan Pavilion thought that Jiang Shengqun was the confidant of Lord Shushou, so they didn't stop him.

The reason why Jiang Shengqun rushed in was because he wanted to make a contribution too much.

The defeat in the previous battle, although the matter calmed down the master, but Jiang Shengqun has been in a state of being abandoned.

It was he himself who lost the battle, so naturally he didn't dare to complain, but he really wanted to make a battle and prove his worth again.

Ge Junxin glanced at Jiang Shengqun: "General Jiang, do you want to fight?"

Jiang Shengqun hesitated to speak, but Shan Shushou didn't speak, so he didn't dare to say more.

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a long time, he was busy patting the painting.

Lady, take this girl away quickly, something has changed.

The painting trembled slightly, and Xia Hu received the message.

Xu Zhiqiong felt relieved, turned around and asked, "Who is willing to fight?"

Jiang Shengqun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The final general is willing to take the head of this demon girl and present it to Mr. Shu Shou."

"Who else?" Xu Zhiqiong ignored Jiang Shengqun.

He must be ignored, Jiang Shengqun's cultivation level is not low, if he is really allowed to go, Xia Hu will be in danger.

Jiang Shengqun was upset, and knelt on the ground blushing.

The rest of the people had neither the thought nor the ability, and all bowed their heads in silence.

Ge Junxin kept silent, mocking Shan Zhongming secretly in his heart.

What has become of Shenji under your rule?
The painting on Shenji's eyes suddenly disappeared, Xia Hu took He Qingye to Zhonglang's Courtyard, and Shenji's eyes lost their sense.

Xu Zhiqiong's face was full of anger, but his heart was relieved.

He scolded everyone and asked someone to write to Lu Zuoqing, ordering him to be more careful.

Back at the main building, Xu Zhiqiong sat silently in the lobby on the third floor for a long time.

Just now, I was not mistaken, the divine machine eye is in good condition, and the picture in the pupil is very clear.

Can't the magical eye and the candlestick be equated?

But the candlestick should at least be a magic weapon for summoning the magic eye. Now that the magic weapon has been replaced, why can the magic eye still be summoned?
Could it be that this candlestick is not important at all, what is important is the entire stone room, the entire Shenyan Pavilion?
Xu Zhiqiong took a chance to visit Zhonglangyuan and asked about Xia Hu's situation last night.

Xia Hu didn't stay idle all night, and led He Qingye to kill six of Lu Zuoqing's subordinates until dawn, but he almost encountered a catastrophe just now.

If Xu Zhiqiong hadn't stopped him, Jiang Shengqun would really have found He Qingye, and Xia Hu was no match for him, and the two of them would have had a lot of trouble.

"Didn't you say that the magic eye has been destroyed by you?" Xia Hu was still terrified.

Xu Zhiqiong took out the candlestick that was cut off last night: "I always thought this thing was the magic eye, but now it seems that these two things have nothing to do with each other."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhiqiong paused, and murmured: "It seems that there is something to do with it, you started doing it last night?"

Xia Hu nodded: "Chou Shi started to use the knife, and took two heads first."

Niu Yuxian replaced the candlestick around Zishi, and Xia Hu started to kill people when he was ugly out of safety.

"Did you bring He Qingye with you last night?"

Xia Hu nodded and said: "Take her with me all the time, this girl is not good at skills, it took me a lot of effort."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the candlestick again.

If the candlestick has nothing to do with the divine machine eye, then even if the candlestick is cut off, the divine machine eye will not be affected in any way.

Since Xia Hu has been taking He Qingye with him, Shen Jiyan should have sensed it last night.

But Shen Shuliang, the God Eye craftsman, only reported the news early this morning.

This means two possibilities.

One is that the divine machine eye lost its sensing ability last night and did not recover until early morning.

The second is that Shenjiyan has always maintained the sensing ability, but Shen Shuliang was negligent in his duties and only noticed it this morning.

Xu Zhiqiong told Xia Hu: "Don't go to Yelang Kingdom today, wait for my news."

Xia Hu nodded and said: "I'm about to take this girl to punish the evil chief and redeem her merits. She received a lot of reprimands and beatings from me last night. I should give her some sweetness today."

Xu Zhiqiong went back to the first floor of the hub, and ordered someone to call Shen Shuliang, the craftsman of the divine eye.

Shen Shuliang is in his 40s, thin and thin, with thin beard and hair. When talking, his eyes are always looking at the ground, with a typical honest appearance.

Xu Zhiqiong poured him a cup of tea, and Shen Shuliang was so flattered that he held the teacup in both hands and dared not drink it for a long time.

"Shuliang, how many years have you been in Shenji Division?"

Shen Shuliang said: "It's been 12 years since my father passed away."

"It's been 12 years," Xu Zhiqiong sighed softly, "With your good skills, you have been a craftsman of the eye for 12 years, and I have really wronged you."

Hearing this, Shen Shuliang quickly shook his head and said: "I have been cultivated by the chief minister, I am very grateful, and I have never thought anything wrong."

"Don't be afraid," Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "I really want to reuse you."

Shen Shuliang didn't dare to answer.

According to the rules of the Shenji Division, a craftsman with divine eyes is inherited from his father to his son. When he joins the Shenji Division, he has the same status as a captain, and there is no possibility of promotion in the future.

Your Excellency said that it should be reused, but where did you start talking about it?

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "How old is your eldest son this year?"

Shen Shuliang answered truthfully: "I am 21 years old this year."

"Following your ears and eyes all these years, I must have learned some real skills."

Shen Shuliang nodded: "Shenyan craftsmen have been passed down from generation to generation, and Quanzi did learn some skills from me."

There is no need to hide this matter, it is the rule of the god-eye craftsman.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Bring me your eldest son some other day. If he can take over your position, I will mention you as a general. What do you think?"

Shen Shuliang was stunned for a long time, then hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My lord, my subordinates have no fame and no cultivation, so I really have no desire to separate them."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and smiled, "I'm not testing you, I really love talents, but there is one thing, you must tell me the truth, where were you last night?"

Shen Shuliang said in surprise: "I was at home last night."

"Since you're at home, why haven't you received a message from Shenjiyan?"

Shen Shuliang hurriedly said: "Last night, there was no message from Shenjiyan, and this subordinate just received the response on the way today."

"You've worked hard these past two days, maybe you slept too deeply last night and couldn't feel anything."

"Whether in the yamen or at home, if there is a message, the subordinates must have a sense of it."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "So, you were not at home last night?"

Shen Shuliang repeatedly kowtowed: "My lord, this subordinate was at home last night, and all his wives, children, servants and servants can testify!"

Looking at Shen Shuliang's appearance, it doesn't look like he is lying, but this matter cannot be judged arbitrarily. Fifth-rank cultivators are all outstanding people, and chaotic fifth-rank cultivators are even rarer. Even if they lie, it is not easy to see through.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Even if you're not at home, I don't think you should miss the message from Shenjiyan."

Shen Shuliang kowtowed and said: "As long as my subordinates are in the capital of God, they will be able to respond to any news. This subordinate has been a craftsman for 12 years, and there has never been an omission. Your lord, you can learn from me!"

Xu Zhiqiong helped Shen Shuliang up; "I trust you, but I can't worry about Vice-President Lu. A lot of things have happened in the past two days. If Vice-President Lu made a mistake again and the gods blamed him, I couldn't bear it. Just take me to Shenji Pavilion, let's take a look at Lu Shushou's situation."

Shen Shuliang said: "There is no news from Shenji's eyes, there should be no judge at this moment, but he can't see the situation of Lu Fushu."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Shen Shuliang silently, and couldn't help it for a while.

Shen Shuliang was covered in cold sweat. Realizing that he was talking too much, he quickly kowtowed and said, "I will follow your lord's orders, and I will go to the Shenyan Pavilion to prepare."

"I'll go with you."

Along the way, Shen Shuliang was uneasy, and Xu Zhiqiong was obviously suspicious of him.

When he arrived at the Shenyan Pavilion, Xu Zhiqiong opened the pupil of crime, and quietly watched Shen Shuliang's operation.

Shen Shuliang injected a little air into the candlestick first.

Xu Zhiqiong watched quietly with the pupil of sin. He wanted to estimate the amount of energy injected by Shen Shuliang.

One point two?

One point seven?

two points three?
Xu Zhiqiong felt dizzy for a while, Shen Shuliang injected not a lot of energy, but Xu Zhiqiong found that this energy was immeasurable.

The size of the candlestick cannot be measured, and the number of Qi machines cannot be estimated. Could it be that these are all characteristics of the chaotic and impermanent Tao.

Xu Zhiqiong memorized every step of his operation, including the position of releasing the air machine and the order of lighting the candles.

Waiting for Shenji's eyes to be figurative on the candlestick, the eyeballs swung up and down, and there was no human figure.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded, showing his trust in Shen Shuliang, and then ordered Shen Shuliang to withdraw his magical eyes.

Shen Shuliang immediately extinguished the candle, and at the moment Shenjiyan disappeared from the candlestick, Shen Shuliang was slightly stunned for a moment.

He found that the candlesticks were slightly different, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, Shen Shuliang did not dare to say more, and stood respectfully beside Xu Zhiqiong.

He was scared, he knew something was wrong with the candlestick.

There is a problem with the candlestick, which means that there may be a problem with the magic eye!

He didn't dare to tell the chief minister what happened, but he didn't have the guts to keep it hidden.

Seeing Shen Shuliang's various reactions, Xu Zhiqiong concluded that Shen Shuliang hadn't lied before.

This is a person who can't hide things. If he had lied just now, Xu Zhiqiong would definitely be able to see the flaw.

He did not receive a message from Shenjiyan last night, because Shenjiyan failed last night.

Candlesticks cannot be equated with magical eyes, but there is indeed a close relationship between the two.

Last night, the candlestick was cut off from the stone table, and the magic eye lost its sensing ability in a short period of time.

But this morning, his magical eyes were restored.

Why is it restored?

Because the glue has solidified.

Niu Yuxian said that at dawn, the glue will freeze.

Yuxian, you are really meticulous in your work.

Let you make a fake candlestick, but it is so realistic.

Works just as well as real candle holders!
Niu Yuxian was still in a coma. He slept until dusk and still hadn't woken up.

When Xu Zhiqiong visited him, it happened that Tong Qingqiu was feeding him medicine.

"Brother Tong, is Yu Xian overworked?"

Tong Qingqiu shook his head and said, "This situation doesn't look like hard work, it's more like a promotion."

"Promotion?" Xu Zhiqiong widened his eyes.

Niu Yuxian had just passed the sixth rank, but now he's about to be promoted?
