Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong went to a mansion in the north of the city, entered the underground secret room, put on the snakeskin, and took out the stone eye and the candlestick from the hidden compartment.

Previously, the stone eye and the candlestick were placed in the Marquis's Mansion, and Xu Zhiqiong had to change places every few days.

He wanted to confirm one thing, how many chaotic and impermanent cultivators there were in Qiancheng Kingdom.

A fierce battle with Yuan Chengfeng is imminent, and the number of chaos cultivators is the key to victory.

Both Li Shabai and Tai Bu once said that there are very few cultivators of the Chaos and Impermanence Dao, but when they arrived in the Qiancheng Kingdom, Xu Zhiqiong found that they were not so rare, and there were already five of them he had come into contact with.

There are five that can be seen, and how many are invisible?

If these cultivators of impermanence were all under Yuan Chengfeng's subordinates, if they all had special skills like Gao Yingzhong, this battle would be difficult.

Xu Zhiqiong's magical eye lit up, holding the stone eye, injecting the power of a certain imagery, allowing the magical eye to track the chaos cultivator in Qiancheng Kingdom.

In the blink of an eye, two spots of light appeared above the pupil.

two blips?

Just two?
If there are only two people, there is no need to worry too much.

And these two are not all Yuan Chengfeng's subordinates.

Xu Zhiqiong unfolded the first light spot first.

It's Fu Ji.

Fu Ji was drinking in the Hall of Zhen'an.

In the past few days, Hong Juncheng often asked Fu Ji to light up his magic eye, but there was always nothing in his magic eye.

This is not Fu Ji's fault, but when the gods are angry, many times they don't ask right or wrong at all.

As the only judge of Qiancheng who had never been to the Evil Punishment Division, he lived a life of life and death by Hong Juncheng's side every day, and it was rare for Fu Ji to be able to drink this wine.

Xu Zhiqiong unfolded another spot of light, and saw a person wearing an official robe, sitting in a sedan chair, staggering on his way.

This man has seen it.

Ruan Baoqing, Minister of the Ministry of officials.

When Xu Zhiqiong first arrived in Qiancheng Kingdom, he met this person in the Shenjun Hall.

Later, he was recommended by Hong Zhenji, and had two banquets with this person. He was regarded as Hong Zhenji's best friend.

Is he also a cultivator of impermanence?
This surprised Xu Zhiqiong.

Where is he going?

Xu Zhiqiong adjusted his angle of view and looked at the direction of the sedan chair.

He is familiar with this road, this is going to Shu Wangfu.

Xu Zhiqiong asked Hong Zhenji to entertain ministers more in the past few days, Hong Zhenji was unambiguous, and the next day he invited Ruan Baoqing, the official secretary with the deepest friendship.

When Ruan Baoqing arrived at King Shu's mansion, he first kowtowed to King Shu, and then presented a generous gift. The host and guest chatted for a while, and the banquet started on time at noon.

Hong Zhenji still acted cautiously, letting the guards taste the food in advance.

Today Hong Zhenji only invited Ruan Baoqing and Cong Ming to accompany him.

This was also what Xu Zhiqiong ordered. He told Hong Zhenji not to leave Cong Ming's sight as much as possible.

Pushing cups and changing cups, the three of them ate and drank, reminisced about the old days, listened to music, and enjoyed dancing until dusk.

As the banquet drew to a close, Ruan Baoqing toasted Cong Ming alone with a cup.

"Cong Shaoqing, you have won the favor of the prince, and you really envy Ruan!"

Cong Ming hurriedly toasted: "It's really a blessing for the prince to cherish his humble talents."

Hong Zhenji frowned slightly, and said what is good about this person.

People say a polite word, you have to praise your talent.

Ruan Baoqing sighed: "The old man has been in his fifties for a few years, and a person who is close to sixty years old can serve the prince, but there are not many days."

Cong Ming waved his hands repeatedly and said: "My lord's words are absurd. As long as you are loyal to the prince, no matter how old or young, the prince will never be picky, let alone dislike him."

If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, Hong Zhenji really wanted to kick Cong Ming.

Ruan Baoqing raised his glass: "With this cup, I wish Cong Shaoqing good health, no cold, no sores, no heart disease, no more pain."

Hong Zhenji was taken aback, Ruan Baoqing's toast was also a little strange.

You just say that it is good to have no disease and no disaster, why mention so many diseases?This sounds inauspicious instead.

Ruan Baoqing probably thought that Cong Ming's words were not pleasant, so he made a sarcastic sentence on purpose.

Cong Ming didn't care too much: "I also wish you no illness or disaster, and your health."

After a while, Ruan Baoqing got up to leave, and Hong Zhenji ordered someone to see the guests off.

After leaving the Shu Palace, Ruan Baoqing went back to the official office, rested for more than an hour, placed a row of candles in the bedroom, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Chaos circle?

No matter where he goes with the chaotic magic circle, he can't escape the sight of the magic eye, Xu Zhiqiong can even observe the process of him walking in the magic circle through the magic eye.

The chaos magic circle is different from the yin-yang magic circle. People are in a state of walking in the chaos magic circle. It seems that they are not walking fast, but the actual speed is astonishing. In the case of Fu Ji's magic circle, he can walk half a god before a dozen breaths. Lincheng.

Ruan Baoqing's speed was even faster, and he took one step at a time, but the background receded so rapidly that it was completely blurred, and Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see where he was at all.

Moreover, the journey was very long, Ruan Baoqing walked for more than [-] breaths and still did not stop.

Where is he going?

After dozens of breaths, Ruan Baoqing disappeared from Shenjiyan's sight.

Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a long time, thinking about the reason for this.

Ruan Baoqing must have gone to see Yuan Chengfeng.

Yuan Chengfeng was also able to avoid the gaze of the divine machine eye.

What kind of magic did they use?
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment, then raised his head.

It's not the technique, it's the distance.

Ruan Baoqing walked out of the territory of Qiancheng Kingdom.

Neither he nor Yuan Chengfeng was in the territory of Qiancheng Kingdom, so they escaped from the sight of Shenjiyan.

Yuan Chengfeng has another stronghold outside Qiancheng.

This is troublesome, Xu Zhiqiong still can't determine how many subordinates Yuan Chengfeng has.

But he can be sure of one thing.

Cong Ming's condition is not very good, he will soon be sick.

……

The southern border of Tunu Country, Weifu City.

Ruan Baoqing came to a house in the east of the city, knelt on the main hall, and kowtowed to Yuan Chengfeng.

Yuan Chengfeng asked: "How is the matter going?"

Ruan Baoqing said: "Reporting to the prince, Cong Ming is already in the palm of his hand."

Yuan Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Did you see anyone special in the Shu Palace?"

Ruan Baoqing understood Yuan Chengfeng's meaning, he wanted to ask if he had seen the real Lu Wang Hong Zhenkang in Shu Wang's mansion.

Ruan Baoqing answered truthfully: "Today's banquet, there are only three guests and hosts."

He described the details of the banquet, and after Yuan Chengfeng heard it, he ordered Ruan Baoqing to return to Shenlin City immediately.

Liang Xiaoen's voice echoed in the room: "Ruan Baoqing only has a fifth-rank cultivation, if you let him deal with Cong Ming, I'm afraid it's too much fun."

Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said: "Although it is the fifth rank, when it comes to the skill of Hunmang, I am not as good as him."

"Brother Yuan, it's better to be more cautious, you have missed too many times."

Yuan Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, and asked back: "Brother Liang, the big battle is coming, I wonder how you are preparing?"

Liang Xiaoen said: "I don't have body and soul, only this little soul left, how do you want me to prepare?"

Yuan Chengfeng sneered: "Brother Liang, didn't the Holy Ancestor reward you with a soul?"

There was silence in the room for a long time, and Liang Xiaoen's voice came: "Brother Yuan, the matter has come to an end, don't mock me, how dare I go to see the Holy Ancestor with my appearance?

You promised to give me a soul and a body. If you break your promise, I will not be able to help you until the time of the war. "

"Since you can't help me, how can you give brother Liang credit for this?" Yuan Chengfeng's tone was full of contempt.

The room fell into silence again.

When Liang Xiaoen spoke again, his tone became a little more serious: "Brother Yuan, if I didn't help you in this matter, you wouldn't be able to mobilize so many congregants. You can deal with Xu Zhiqiong, but you can't deal with Hong Juncheng, no matter how thoughtful you are." , after all, it’s just empty.”

Yuan Chengfeng smiled: "Brother Liang, don't be annoyed, it's just joking, how can you take it seriously?"

Liang Xiaoen didn't make a sound, what he heard just now was not a joke, but contempt and ridicule.

Yuan Chengfeng lit the candles one by one: "Brother Liang, come with me, let's find the soul together."

"Where are you going?"

"The overbearing Canglong is unique to your Liang family's blood. If you want to find the soul, you will naturally go to a place with the Liang family."

Liang Xiaoen couldn't guess Yuan Chengfeng's intention, and Yuan Chengfeng didn't explain further.

After traveling for an entire hour, the two came to a barren land.

After walking more than ten miles above the wasteland, a palace appeared in front of him.

There is a plaque hanging on the palace: Yuanzhou Shrine!
Yuanzhou Shrine is the Suzaku Palace in Yuanzhou in the west of Daxuan.

"Brother Liang, the soul and body you want are here."

Yuan Chengfeng quietly came to the backyard of Suzaku Palace. In the yard, there stood a big tree with clusters of aerial roots fluttering quietly in the wind.

While the roots were fluttering, there was a little murmur, Yuan Chengfeng's perception was weak and he couldn't hear clearly, but Liang Xiaoen could hear it.

"Rebel, you can't wait to die!"

Liang Xiaoen's soul said to Yuan Chengfeng: "This soul is incomplete."

"You want a complete soul?" Yuan Chengfeng chuckled, "There are complete souls in the Great Hall of the Divine Lord, and also in the Yuyao Palace. Whether you can get them depends on how sincere you are."

"How can you be sincere?"

Yuan Chengfeng said word by word: "Qiancheng Kingdom is mine. From now on, I am the king and you are the minister. This is sincerity."

Liang Xiaoen said: "We are doing things for the holy ancestor!"

Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't say anything about the Holy Patriarch. Let's be honest. Like me, you have heard the orders of the Holy Patriarch, but you have never seen his real face."

Liang Xiaoen was silent for a long time, as if he had been hit by a sore spot.

"I have seen the Holy Ancestor." Liang Xiaoen made an excuse, but it was obviously weak.

Yuan Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "I still say the same thing, if you can get the soul from the ancestor, it is naturally your good fortune, and you don't have to look for Yuan again in the future.

If you want to rely on Yuan to get the soul, but you have to show sincerity, you have to understand the dignity and etiquette of the monarch and his subjects. "

A gust of wind blew up, and Liang Xiaoen's spirit hovered around Yuan Chengfeng like a dragon.

After circling for several weeks, Liang Xiaoen calmed down, Yuanshen stood in front of Yuan Chengfeng and saluted Yuan Chengfeng.

Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said, "I, Qiancheng, follow the ancient etiquette."

Liang Xiaoen was silent for a moment, lowering the soul.

He knelt down to Yuan Chengfeng.

Yuan Chengfeng was quite satisfied. He spread his arms and released his energy, and the branches and leaves of the huge blood tree quickly dissipated.
