Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong returned to the Department of Punishment in a daze. Everyone saw that he was safe and sound, and finally felt relieved.

After a fierce battle overnight, the strange monsters were completely wiped out, thanks to the contribution of all the judges.

Let Xia Hu and Qian Limu handle the issue of rewards for meritorious deeds. One can settle accounts and the other can recognize people. They will definitely do a good job.

Xu Zhiqiong sneaked into Xia Hu's room, and slept beautifully on the fragrant couch.

Domineering out of the mortal world, the primordial spirit can leave the soul.

It turns out that there is such a saying.

However, this common saying can help Xu Zhiqiong solve some important mysteries.

Liang Xiaoen once died at the hands of Xu Zhiqiong. At that time, Xu Zhiqiong took away his crimes and summoned his soul through his crimes. According to the common sense of this world, this person was already dead.

But Liang Xiaoen did not die completely, he was resurrected.

Without a soul, without a body, Liang Xiaoen can still be resurrected, which leads to an important concept, the so-called primordial spirit.

Xu Zhiqiong only has a vague understanding of the concept of Yuanshen, which should exist in the soul, the so-called origin of consciousness.

That is to say, the inside of the body is the soul, and the inside of the soul is the soul, and the soul has no internal concept, and the soul is the ultimate manifestation of consciousness.

As for the deeper understanding of the primordial spirit, Xu Zhiqiong doesn't know. What he can know so far is that the primordial spirit of a normal person cannot leave the soul.

The reason Liang Xiaoen was able to come back from the dead was because his cultivation base was above the mortal world, and the domineering cultivator's cultivation base was above the mortal world, and he gained new abilities, and the primordial spirit was able to leave the soul. After a catastrophe.

After escaping a catastrophe, why did he have to be reborn through Liang Gongping's soul?
Xu Zhiqiong remembered the story of Gongshuban.

The aura of the domineering blue dragon and the murderous white tiger comes from the soul.

In other words, after Liang Xiaoen was reborn, if he wanted to maintain his cultivation, he had to find a suitable soul, that is, a soul that could create arrogance.

He had to pass through the soul of a domineering cultivator to be resurrected, so Yuan Chengfeng helped Liang Xiaoen find the holy and benevolent elder Liang Gongping.

Although Liang Gongping was turned into a blood tree by the Humming Technique, his soul still existed in some form.

Yuan Chengfeng dispelled Liang Gongping's chaotic ability, and provided Liang Xiaoen with a ready-made soul.

This also explains two other puzzles.

One is why Hong Juncheng is so enthusiastic about Liang Yuyao?

Second, why did Hong Juncheng insist on sending Liang Yuyao to Qiancheng Kingdom?

These two puzzles have the same answer, Hong Juncheng needs Liang Yuyao's soul.

What is so special about Liang Yuyao's soul?
What happened to Hong Juncheng's own soul?
The answers to these puzzles still need to be found from Yuan Chengfeng. The current conclusions are limited to Xu Zhiqiong's conjectures, and the specifics need to be verified by Yuan Chengfeng.

He really wished to release Yuan Chengfeng's soul now, but he couldn't resist his tiredness, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted a whole day, and when Xu Zhiqiong woke up, he saw Xia Hu was studying ink under the lamp.

Covered by candles, Xia Hu's expression was focused, making her look even more handsome and lovely.

Xu Zhiqiong walked up and wanted to kiss the lady on the face, but when he saw Xia Hu was sorting out the accounts, Xu Zhiqiong pouted and slowly retracted it.

Xu Zhiqiong quietly walked out the door, Xia Hu quietly came behind, and whispered softly: "Officer, where are you going?"

Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly and said, "I just woke up, I'm a little thirsty, I'm going to find some water to drink."

Xia Hu brought the teacup and said, "The tea has been brewed for the officials."

"I'm hungry and want to find something to eat."

"The pastry is ready, the officials are going to eat two."

"I'm in a hurry to urinate, lady, don't you have the chamber pot ready?"

Xia Hu changed her tone, patted the chair and said, "Officer, don't worry about urinating right now, sit down first, let's talk about something serious."

Xu Zhiqiong sat on the chair, feeling uneasy.

Xia Hu took out the accounts and calculated them with Xu Zhiqiong one by one.

Xu Zhiqiong robbed 500 million taels of silver, and spent 350 million to build the Punishment Department, leaving 150 million taels.

It took a lot of money to reward the people who participated in the robbery for their meritorious deeds, another to buy news from Gongshuban, and another to buy food and drink for the punishment department.

In order to prepare for this fierce battle, Xu Zhiqiong bought a good set of equipment for the judge and the charmer. These are a lot of money.

The battle to kill the strange monsters was a complete victory, and he had to be rewarded for his merits. He still had more than 60 silver on hand, so it was a bit tight.

Xu Zhiqiong blinked and said, "After this battle is over, how many judges want money?"

Xu Zhiqiong made it clear at the beginning that the judges who stayed in the Taoist sect rewarded meritorious deeds, and the judges who asked for money meant that they didn't want to go the way of judges anymore.

Xia Hu shook her head and said, "None of the judges wants to quit the Taoism."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "In this way, they are also loyal to the Taoist sect."

Xia Hu shook her head: "Loyalty is out of the question. These people have discussed it in private. The laws of Qiancheng Kingdom are strict. These people have already died once in Yangjian. They have no legal status and can only go to the mountains to be savages.

Just think about it, is the life of the savage better than that of the judge?They really had nowhere else to go. "

Xu Zhiqiong hammered at the case: "These people have impure thoughts, I will teach them a lesson."

"Officer, don't go," Xia Hu pulled Xu Zhiqiong, "The account is settled, and it's not too late to teach him a lesson."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Lady, since they don't want money, they just give merit, but is it still a matter of settlement?"

"It's not easy to give meritorious deeds," Xia Hu shook her head, "This time the whole city is in a strange situation, those angry husbands taught everyone to die, and their crimes can be exchanged for meritorious deeds.

However, there are many ordinary people who were killed by strange monsters and became strange. Their crimes are not enough. After all their lives, who would they want for their exploits? "

The first generation of strange monsters had criminal karma, but the second generation of strange monsters generally had insufficient criminal karma. Xu Zhiqiong also experienced this personally.

Xia Hu continued: "Furthermore, those people from the Nufu Sect were already dead when they turned into strange monsters. I don't know how long they have been dead. Some people's crimes were not harvested in time and they all dissipated. It costs tens of thousands, where can we get so many merits?"

Xu Zhiqiong pursed his lips: "This matter cannot be counted as punishing evil alone. This is a kind deed. Doctor Bai is in charge of rewarding kindness. Let him do some!"

Xia Hu shook her head and said: "Doctor Bai can't show so many merits. If the merits are not enough, we can only make up with money. Officer, we really can't bear the money in hand."

"Ma'am, are you joking?" Xu Zhiqiong looked at the accounts, "We still have more than 60 silver, which is not a small amount."

"The amount is not small, but the expenses are also very high. To support the entire Qiancheng Punishment Division, you have to support more than 200 women under Hong Huaxiao's command.
Don't forget that there is also the Yin Division of Qiancheng. You promised to find a way for them to plant land, plant trees, and mine mines. "

Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his forehead and said, "Lady, I really have a urgency to urinate, let me go out and relieve myself."

"Officer, let you go out to relieve yourself, I'm afraid you won't come back," Xia Hu really took out a chamber pot, "Come on, officer, I'm waiting for you."

"This, this is not shameful..."

"When did the officials feel ashamed, come on, I will serve you hand in hand."

Xia Hu is good in everything, but he is too serious about money, if he doesn't explain the accounts clearly today, Xu Zhiqiong will definitely not be able to leave the Zhonglang Hall.

Xu Zhiqiong immediately wrote a written statement, and got 100 million silver within a month, otherwise Xia Hu would cut off all the money from Hong Huaxiao and Yinsi.

The matter of Yinzi came to an end for the time being, Xu Zhiqiong asked Xia Hu to clean up a guest room, and he wanted to interrogate Yuan Chengfeng.

This person's soul is very important, Xu Zhiqiong told Xia Hu: "My lady, you must write down everything he said. If I forget it in the future, please remind me."

Xia Hu prepared a pen and paper, and Xu Zhiqiong went to the Xingxiu Gallery to take down the sin karma.

Four feet and three inches in front of Xia Hu.

"This one is really long!" Xia Hu pursed her lips, and her throat twitched twice.

Xu Zhiqiong handed Xia Hu a handkerchief: "Lady, be more reserved, I still have a longer one."

Xia Hu said with a look of surprise: "Is there any longer than this one? If it is longer than this, it can be exchanged for a thousand meritorious service."

Xu Zhiqiong sighed in his heart, in this lady's heart, besides money, she is meritorious service.

He released Yuan Chengfeng's soul from his sinful karma, and the moment before he released it, Xu Zhiqiong opened his posture and got ready to fight.

Xia Hu sneered: "What are you doing? You are just a dead soul, how dare you fight with you?"

"He dares, he really dares, but you don't know how deep this guy's obsession is."

The soul came out of the crime, Xu Zhiqiong planned to copy the guy, but found that Yuan Chengfeng was very quiet.

"Yunhou, I really didn't expect to see you again."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Why? Don't you want to see me?"

"Why don't you think that, with your cultivation today, it's a blessing for Yuan to see a prisoner. You don't need to say too many polite words. You have something to ask me, don't you?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Are you willing to answer?"

Yuan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Yun Hou is willing to show his face, how can there be no reason not to answer?"

"Are you afraid of being tortured, or are you really giving me face?"

"I'm not afraid of torture. There will be countless tortures in the underworld. I'm afraid that Yunhou will blow me up in a fit of anger."

"Instead of being tortured in the underworld, isn't it a good thing to be completely wiped out?"

Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said: "If you can have a next life, you have hope. No matter how many years you suffer, you will finally be able to wait for the day of reincarnation."

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his face and said, "What if you are allowed to live forever?"

Yuan Chengfeng said with a smile: "It depends on whether Yunhou enforces the law impartially. I will say what I can say, and what I can't say. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it. You know the reason."

What he can't say should be referring to the secrets related to chaos. When he was alive, he might not be able to tell these things. Now only the soul is left. If he talks about it, he may be wiped out.

Xu Zhiqiong first asked the first question: "Have you ever heard of this saying that the overlord is out of the mortal world, and the soul can leave the soul?"

While speaking, Xu Zhiqiong quietly opened the mantra.

Yuan Chengfeng nodded and said: "Not only have I heard, but I have also seen that Liang Xiaoen, Zhewei star official, died at your hands, but his soul escaped."

This confirmed Xu Zhiqiong's first speculation, why Liang Xiaoen was able to come back from the dead.

"It was you who cracked Liang Gongping's blood tree, restored Liang Gongping's soul, and allowed Liang Xiaoen's soul to parasitize in?"

"Not only the soul, but also the body. Liang Gongping's soul and body were taken away by Liang Xiaoen. I can't tell how high the current Liang Xiaoen is."

Liang Xiaoen's actual cultivation level is the fourth rank, but it is very likely that he used Liang Gongping's soul to recover to the third rank.

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Is Liang Gongping's primordial spirit still there?"

"Liang Gongping's primordial spirit is still there, but under the pressure of Liang Xiaoen, he should be dormant in his soul. Whether he can wake up depends on Liang Xiaoen's condition.
If Liang Xiaoen's primordial spirit suddenly became weak before being compatible with the soul, Liang Gongping might really be able to wake up. If Liang Xiaoen's primordial spirit is fully compatible, I don't know where Liang Gongping's primordial spirit will go. "

Driven by the mantra, everything Yuan Chengfeng said was the truth, and these were basically in line with Xu Zhiqiong's speculation.

"Why did you travel thousands of miles to Daxuan Yuanzhou to find Liang Gongping's soul? But no one else's soul can replace it?"

Yuan Chengfeng said: "Liang Xiaoen himself has a fourth-rank cultivation. At the peak, he once had a first-rank cultivation. His soul is very powerful. The soul below the fourth rank cannot carry it, and the soul above the fourth rank has nowhere to be found. "

It turns out that the rank of the soul is very high, and the requirements for the soul are also very high.

But why did Hong Juncheng take a fancy to Liang Yuyao's soul?Liang Yuyao has not yet reached the fourth rank.

Did Yuan Chengfeng know about this?

"How much do you know about Hong Juncheng? Why does he have a domineering cultivation?"

Yuan Chengfeng shook his head again and again: "In this world, the person I can't see through the most is Hong Juncheng. I know that he has a cultivation level that is even higher than mine, but I really didn't expect him to be an overbearing cultivator of the Canglong.
Overbearing cultivators must have the blood of the Liang family. I don't know where Hong Juncheng's blood comes from. "

This is also an important puzzle that plagues Xu Zhiqiong.

"Is Hong Juncheng a member of Nufu Sect?"

Yuan Chengfeng shook his head again: "Hong Juncheng hates Nufu Cult very much. When he was in his prime, he sent the Divine Machine Division several times to wipe it out. In his later years, he seems to be more lenient."

"What is your status in Nufu Cult?"

Yuan Chengfeng said: "I am one of the five divisions of Nufu, the chief division officer."

"Are you a Da Si Shi?" Xu Zhiqiong was stunned.

Who is He Shuiling?
