Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong slept until noon the next day, left the Changshi Hall, and wandered in the Department of Punishment and Evil.

The yin energy in his body churned up and down, although he thought it was harmless, it always made Xu Zhiqiong feel uneasy.

Walking to the carpenter's workshop, Bao Huailuo and Zhang Shifeng were suddenly looking at the carpenter's workshop. Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Bao Huailuo pointed inside and said, "There is a comrade who sleeps inside every day, except for eating, I have never seen her come out!"

Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "Nonsense, but you have to touch your conscience when you talk, won't she come out to go to the toilet!"

Zhang Shifeng was stunned: "It seems that I have never seen her go to the toilet, but I have to take a good look at it today."

Baoweiluo agrees: "You look from the front, I look from the back."

Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "A bunch of nasty people, if this spreads, won't my reputation be ruined? Why can't you learn something better!"

Bao Huailuo nodded and said: "In the future, I will learn more about history from Ma Chang."

Zhang Shifeng also nodded: "If you want to see it, let Ma Changshi watch it first."

Xu Zhiqiong walked in the front, and the two followed, watching at the door of the carpenter's workshop, but saw a woman wearing a mask, lying on the desk, snoring.

Xu Zhiqiong turned around and asked, "What's this person's name?"

Bao Huailuo shook his head and said, "We don't recognize it!"

Zhang Shifeng said: "Isn't this the disciple Ma Changshi recruited?"

"Have I ever accepted this disciple?" Xu Zhiqiong squeezed his chin, "Why don't I have any impression?"

Could it be the lady's new disciple?

This man is really strange. Why don't he sleep in the official's house and sleep in the carpenter's workshop?
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and pushed: "Wake up."

The woman turned over, turned her back to Xu Zhiqiong and went back to sleep.

Xu Zhiqiong said again: "The carpenter's workshop is on fire, if you don't leave, you will be burned to death!"

The woman continued to snore without any reaction.

Xu Zhiqiong said again: "Dinner is ready, we have smoked chicken tonight."

The woman turned over and sat up, picked up the rice bowl and went out.

Xu Zhiqiong stopped at the door and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman replied, "My name is Gong Shuyan."

Gongshu?

"A member of the public loser? Are you a craftsman sent by the public loser?"

Gong Shuyan nodded and said, "The Patriarch sent me here."

"How many days have you been here?"

"Three days."

"I've been here for three days, and I just fell asleep here!" Xu Zhiqiong was furious.

"I have nothing else to do, why don't you fall asleep?" Gongshu Yan didn't care.

"Come on, start working quickly, and do something for me first."

"Do what?"

"Do, this, do something..." Xu Zhiqiong thought about it for a long time, and for a moment he really didn't know what to ask Gong Shuyan to do.

Gong Shuyan looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "Are you a long history of punishing evil? Do you have a long history seal?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head.

"Is there a long history order?"

Neither did Xu Zhiqiong.

"Let's do these two first, Changshiyin 3000 taels, Changshi Ling 1 taels!"

So expensive!

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Don't lie to me, when I made the Zhonglang seal and the master book seal, I didn't spend a tael of silver!"

Gong Shuyan laughed and said, "The master seal and Zhonglang seal were given to you by your seniors, right?"

It is true that the master book seal was given by Cao Yilang, and the Zhonglang seal was given by Lu Yanyou.

Gongshu Yan said: "You don't need money for the things of your own Taoism, but you get them with meritorious deeds. I am not from your Taoism, so why should I contribute to you for nothing?"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "Gongshuban said that you should hand over your craftsmanship to my craftsmen."

Gongshu Yan nodded: "It's easy to say, you can buy Chang Shi Ling and Chang Shi Yin first, and I will make them here, and let your craftsmen learn."

Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and immediately took out the money.

These two things are very useful. The Changshi Yin can allow Xu Zhiqiong to return to the Changshi Hall at any time without even having to use the key to open the door.

The Chang Shiling is even more useful, it can summon all the judges of the Punishment Division, it can sense the calls of colleagues, and it can also allow Xu Zhiqiong to use the Chengfeng Tower freely.

Xu Zhiqiong said to Bao Huailuo and Zhang Shifeng: "Follow and learn the skills. After you learn it, you will have a lot of merit!"

Gongshuyan picked up a wooden box, at least it was seven feet five six, half a head taller than this girl.

The girl put the wooden box on the desk, tapped the mechanism, opened the lid, and took out various instruments.

"Don't be idle, fetch charcoal fire, light the stove, prepare materials, wash molds, this Changshi, haven't you asked Gao's name yet?"

"Dismount Ma Shangfeng!"

"Ma Changshi, please write down your name first, and then I will trouble you to prepare two jars of good wine and two chickens. If I can't eat enough, I can't use this first-class technique!"

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Bao Huailuo and Zhang Shifeng: "There are four of us, two chickens may not be enough."

Gongshu Yan was stunned: "If you want to eat, buy another one yourself. Two chickens are not enough for me alone.
The wine also needs to be good, the stronger the better, if the strength of the wine is poor, the technique is also bad! "

If a woman wants to drink two jars of wine, it must be strong wine. This girl is really huge.

A wave of yin qi circulated in the Ren veins, making Xu Zhiqiong feel a chill all over his body.

That's all, it's good to buy more wine to dispel the cold air.

……

Hong Zhenji waved his hand and ordered someone to buy wine.

"My lords, if you drink this cup to the brim, you will be successful tonight."

There were 32 people standing in front of him, and the 32 people were Hong Zhenji's generals. Among them were ten killers, three Confucians, three Yin and Yang, four Mohists, four Taotie and greedy Taoists, four fierce Taoists, and four others. There are four special practitioners.

Everyone's cultivation base ranges from the fifth rank to the eighth rank.

It doesn't look too high, but adding Cong Ming is another matter.

Cong Ming claimed to be a third-grade cultivator of the fierce way of 梼杌. The rest of the people only need to create a chance for him, and he is sure to kill Hong Zhenkang.

Especially those four special practitioners are very good at creating opportunities!
It was night, Hong Zhenji invited Hong Zhenkang to his house for a banquet.

Although they are brothers, except for the handover of political affairs, the two have not communicated for more than ten years.

Hong Zhenkang was also very surprised when he received Hong Zhenji's invitation. Although he didn't know Hong Zhenji's intention, he still brought some gifts and came to the banquet.

At the banquet, Hong Zhenji only mentioned old feelings, not political affairs, and Hong Zhenkang just talked perfunctorily.

"Brother, do you still remember that when I was eight years old, I broke one of my father's ear vases, which was my father's favorite ear vase. I knew my father would not forgive me lightly, so I was so scared that I cried for a whole half a day.
I didn't expect my elder brother to take care of the matter for me. For this reason, my elder brother was beaten by my father. Thinking about it until now, I still feel guilty in my heart. "

Hong Zhenkang took a sip of his wine and said, "Why mention the old things?"

Hong Zhenji sighed: "Bringing up this old matter, I want to tell my brother that I am not a heartless person, whether it is Xuan Guo or Tu Nu, you and I have different political views, but it is all for Qiancheng to fight for a friendly country. In the end, we brothers The relationship hasn't changed."

When Hong Zhenkang heard this, his eyes gradually turned red: "Zhenji, I am very pleased that you have such a heart."

Hong Zhenji ordered someone to bring up several wooden boxes: "I took 80 silver from my elder brother's box. This is the emperor's order, not my original intention. Brother, please take back the silver."

Hong Zhenkang waved his hand and said: "You are doing it for business, not for personal gain. You made mistakes for your brother. You should reflect on yourself. If you take money from you, wouldn't it be more mistakes?"

Hong Zhenji sighed: "After all, brother still hates me."

Hong Zhenkang shook his head and said: "Although you and I are brothers, we are also human subjects. It is our duty to be loyal to the gods, and this has nothing to do with brotherhood."

"Since there is no problem, elder brother will accept the money."

"Zhenji, I can't accept this money for my brother, and it's nothing to suffer a little bit of grievance for my brother, but this matter must not implicate you."

The two brothers drank to their heart's content. Although Hong Zhenkang confiscated the money, judging from his words, the previous estrangement was resolved a lot.

Hong Zhenkang didn't get up until he was very drunk to say goodbye. Hong Zhenji insisted on seeing him off, but Hong Zhenkang declined.

"Zhenji, Brother Huang has some misunderstandings about me, and the matter has not been clarified yet. If you get too close to me, I'm afraid you will offend Brother Huang again. I've accepted the friendship, so stay here."

"Brother, I'm not afraid of the imperial brother's blame..."

"Zhenji," Hong Zhenkang held Hong Zhenji's hand, "You still remember that I was beaten for you, so you should understand one thing, being a brother will not let you suffer."

When the words fell to the ground, the two brothers looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

Hong Zhenkang left, and Hong Zhenji stood at the gate of the mansion, watching his brother disappear into the night.

Hong Zhenji wiped away his tears, and walked back to the mansion with a sad face.

When he returned to the Book Pavilion, the corners of Hong Zhenji's mouth turned up, revealing a smile: "Brother, little brother will see you off for the last time."

……

Thirty guards escorted Hong Zhenkang's sedan chair and walked towards Luwang's mansion.

Passing by the shore of Le'an Lake, a gust of cold wind blew in the face, the guards and porters shivered at the same time, and the sedan chair shook accordingly.

Zhao Yanggong, the leader of the guards, sensed that something was wrong and ordered everyone to hurry up.

Everyone wanted to walk faster, but their hamstrings felt weak, and they couldn't exert any strength on their feet.

Zhao Yanggong has a fifth-rank killing cultivation base, and with his murderous aura, he bred a whole body of strength, and he personally carried the sedan chair and moved forward quickly.

After walking for a long time, everyone found that Le'an Lake was always by their side.

This is not considered a big lake. Even if ordinary people walk along the road by the lake, they can at most take a meal.

They are lost. They walked the road of Le'an Lake hundreds of times, and they got lost here!

No need to ask, this must have hit the magic circle.

Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Song Zhixian, what kind of magic circle is this?"

Song Zhixian is a fifth-rank yin and yang cultivator. He felt something was wrong when he came to the lake, but after investigating for a long time, he didn't know where the anomaly was.

Watching Song Zhixian keep shaking his head, Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Jia Lizhong, Yu Gengxiao, break the formation and open the way!"

Jia Lizhong and Yu Geng are Confucian cultivators of the sixth rank, regardless of the origin of the magic formation, they released their awe-inspiring righteousness and tried to forcefully break the formation.

On the surface of the lake, a gust of wind suddenly rose, and a column of water slowly gathered above the surface of the lake, heading straight into the sky.

Waterspout!
Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Have you met Jiaolong?"

Song Zhixian saw that in the waterspout, there were many black drops of water rolling from bottom to top.

This is not like a dragon...

The waterspout connecting the lake surface and the sky suddenly tilted, sweeping towards the shore with currents and strong winds.

"Water ghost!" Song Zhixian shouted, "Be careful, there are water ghosts in the lake!"

Zhao Yanggong shouted: "Which water ghost?"

Song Zhixian used yin and yang to resist the water flow: "The root of the yang is in the yang!"
