Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong carefully carved a puppet with Yang Wu in the Zhonglang Pavilion.

Chang Decai bought high-quality materials, and Yang Wu's craftsmanship was quite exquisite. According to Xu Zhiqiong's recollection, the puppets they made were exactly the same as Yuan Chengfeng's.

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "If Hong Juncheng saw this puppet, he wouldn't be shocked!"

Yang Wu kept silent, peeking at Xu Zhiqiong from time to time.

During the past half day, his behavior has been a little weird.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Xu Zhiqiong casually asked while holding a comb to comb the puppet's hair.

Yang Wu pondered for a long time and said: "I have been promoted to the fourth rank."

Xu Zhiqiong was startled, and the comb almost fell to the ground: "Fourth Grade? Are you joking?"

Yang Wu scratched his head and said, "I also think it's a joke, but I tested it with the Ruiming Pagoda, and it's really the fourth grade."

"Did you eat the elixir, or did you drink the divine water?" Xu Zhiqiong stared at Yang Wu for a long time, "Could someone point you out?"

Yang Wu nodded: "Someone really pointed me out."

Xu Zhiqiong had suspected this for a long time.

Yang Wu's cultivation is graded, which proves that the so-called unhealthy way was not created by him.

This Taoism has a foundation, the foundation is above the mortal world, but the foundation is not too solid, and there is no obvious corresponding skill behind Yang Wu's rank.

Yang Wu put down the awl in his hand, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Brother, I was originally a dead soul with nowhere to go at the head of the Naihe Bridge, but you dragged me back to the mortal world. Although I am still a ghost, I live a better life than alive When I was still human,

I think I shouldn't hide anything from you. Although he won't let me tell you, I still want to tell you.
I met the patriarch of my Taoist school, and I was wandering in the sky. "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded, as he expected: "Do you know the name of the Patriarch?"

Yang Wu shook his head and said: "He refuses to say, every time we meet, he comes and goes in a hurry, as if afraid of being discovered by someone,

Whenever I feel weak, stagnant, injured, or overwhelmed, I will go to Huntiandang to replenish some Yin Qi. As long as I go to Huntiandang, I can always meet him.
He either pointed me to some spells, or pointed me to some methods of warming and nourishing my flesh and blood. After I came back, I would sometimes pass on some methods to Lao Chang. "

Xu Zhiqiong suddenly realized: "But I said, Lao Chang has become more and more fresh recently."

"Not only Shuiling, I ate a leg of lamb with Lao Chang last night. I feel a little tired, and Lao Chang is not full yet."

"Eat so much?"

Xu Zhiqiong knew that only Changde could eat some human fireworks, but Xu Zhiqiong was a little surprised that he could eat a leg of lamb in one sitting.

His ability to warm and nourish flesh and blood is too strong.

What is the origin of this patriarch?
"Brother, you don't know anything about this patriarch, so you should be more prepared."

Yang Wu nodded and said: "I'm planning to discuss this matter with you. It's enough for a person like me to have a fourth-grade cultivation base. In the future, I will raise my flesh and blood and live a stable life with Lao Chang. From now on, I won't go wandering around."

Yang Wu is good at this, frankly!

If it were Chu He, he would never tell Xu Zhiqiong about this easily.

If it were Xu Zhiqiong himself, he had practiced with his master for so long, and he never told anyone about it.

Yang Wu said that he didn't want to see that patriarch again, this idea is indeed safe.

But what if this is an opportunity?

What if this opportunity is missed?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wudao and said, "Are you willing to be a fourth rank for a lifetime?"

Yang Wu shook his head: "To be honest, I'm not reconciled."

"If it were me, I wouldn't be reconciled."

"How about this, next time I go to Huntiandang, you go with me, you are much smarter than me, you are hiding in the dark, help me find out what the patriarch is up to?"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "It's not right to do this. Your ancestor's cultivation must be higher than mine. If I'm discovered, it will be very bad for you."

"Then what do you say?"

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wu's clothes.

Bring his clothes to the Xingxiu Gallery, and with the help of the master's evil mirror, you may be able to see the appearance of Patriarch Yang Wu.

But I don't know when Master's mirror will be repaired.

"Don't worry, brother, we'll figure out a way together after Hong Juncheng is dealt with."

After the puppet was finished, Xu Zhiqiong brought the soul of Suzaku Lingxiu Gate.

"Woo~" The soul was still moaning, Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about how to stuff this soul into the puppet's body.

How did Yuan Chengfeng stuff it in?

Ming Dao must have a way.

There are also methods for yin and yang, Tai Bu and Han Chen will both be soul-joining puppets.

Xu Zhiqiong turned to Yang Wu and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Yang Wu thought for a moment and said: "This is called soul art. I have learned it before, but I have never tried it."

"Let's try it, it doesn't matter if the puppet is broken, don't hurt this soul."

……

In Shensi Pavilion and Xuanhua Pavilion, Hong Juncheng sat silently behind the desk, and Qin Yan served beside him.

Li Quangen, the supervisor of Zhidian, was reporting the mistakes made by his subordinate servants. Someone accidentally knocked over a porcelain bottle while sweeping, and someone sat under the eaves and dozed off while on duty.

There is no need to report these trivial things to the gods, but the gods caught a servant stealing flowers in the garden the day before yesterday, and in a rage, he ordered the servant to be beaten to death.

From that day on, the palm prints of each hall must take turns to report the negligence of the servants under their subordinates. If there is any concealment and failure to report, the palm seals of each hall will be severely punished.

No one knows what the god has seen or heard, and no one dares to deceive the god easily.

Li Quangen reported a total of eleven faults, and he only dared to hide the knowledge of his servants secretly.

Hong Juncheng was in a daze, and he didn't know if he was paying attention, and he waved his hand casually and said, "Put him in prison."

Li Quangen said yes, without saying a word.

Hundreds of servants have been imprisoned in the prison, and one servant was also imprisoned because of a negligence in sweeping and leaving a few dead leaves.

What the hell is the god going to do?
A servant sent a letter, Hong Juncheng opened the letter and glanced at it.

The sun shone on the letter, and ink stains appeared on the back of the letter.

There was a picture on the letter, but Qin Yan didn't see it clearly.

Hong Juncheng put the letter into his sleeve, and said to Qin Yan: "I'm tired."

Qin Yan immediately ordered someone to prepare a chariot, and accompanied Hong Juncheng back to the bedroom.

He really wanted to know the contents of the letter, but Li Quangen shook his head invisibly at him.

Li Quangen told Qin Yan not to take any risks, he read the letter clearly.

That is the view of Yuchun Lane in the south of the city. There is a house marked on it.

Why did someone send this painting?

What's in that house?
……

Yang Wu worked hard more than a dozen times, and finally stuffed the soul into the puppet.

He mobilized Yin Qi and tried to control the puppet, but he moved, sat and lay down, but there was no response.

Xu Zhiqiong observed for a while, and found that the puppet's neck moved slightly.

"Brother, try to make this puppet nod."

Yang Wu sent Yin Qi to the soul, the puppet trembled for a moment, its neck bent slightly, its head slowly lowered, and slowly raised again.

"Strange, how come only the neck can move?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "It's nothing strange, this soul has no hands and feet."

Yang Wu still thought that this soul was just a strange appearance, but now he knows that his function is also strange, he has no hands and feet in shape, and he can't control the hands and feet of a puppet.

In fact, this is a reasonable design.

There are four souls in the tiger's body, if these four souls can control the hands and feet, the tiger will definitely not be able to move normally.

Yang Wu frowned and said, "What's the use if you can't move your hands and feet? Why don't you just stuff those souls in together."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "It's useless to stuff it in, the souls have to be sewn together to sense each other."

"Just sew it, I just want to try it too."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "You can't try, damn it, I'll find someone to try!"

Xu Zhiqiong put away the puppet with a spell and went to Yuyao Palace.

……

Hong Juncheng went back to the bedroom, sent the others away, and lay quietly on the bed.

Qin Yan was serving outside the hall, and suddenly felt a slight change in the breath in the sleeping hall.

This change is very subtle, if it wasn't for Qin Yan's fourth-rank eunuch cultivation, it would be difficult to detect it.

The god is out of the palace?
Could it be related to that letter?
Qin Yan and a servant next to her said: "I'm going to go to the latrine, so you can serve God."

……

Xu Zhiqiong came to Liang Yuyao with a puppet, and begged softly, "I have a friend who just wants to see the power of the princess's dragon's fury. Your Highness, let him be granted."

Liang Yuyao stared at the puppet, and saw that the puppet nodded from time to time.

"Is this your friend? You don't even know how to salute when you see me?"

"This is a stupid person. I found someone to see it, and they said that as long as he is under the power of Princess Yuyao's Dragon Fury, he can open his heart and regain his mind."

"You're so idle! Who do you think I am? Want to play tricks with him!"

"Your Highness, let's see our friendship and save this poor man."

Liang Yuyao knew that Xu Zhiqiong was talking nonsense, but she couldn't stand him begging all the time, so she agreed to him, and used the power of dragon's anger on the puppet.

In the main hall, several envoys in red and several maids bowed their heads one after another.

Xu Zhiqiong also pretended to bow his head, only the puppet did not bow his head.

Liang Yuyao was startled, stepped forward to touch the puppet's cheek, and asked, "Is this really a living person?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't know how to explain it, when he suddenly saw the puppet open its mouth and turn to bite Liang Yuyao's hand.

Liang Yuyao was startled, and quickly withdrew her hand.

This is the instinct of a tiger.

Xu Zhiqiong believed that this puppet could move freely, but he was not affected by the might of Dragon's Fury.

The soul created by Yuan Chengfeng can resist domineering techniques.

Exactly what he relies on to resist the domineering technique still needs to be studied carefully.

Just as Xu Zhiqiong was delighted, he suddenly heard a maid report: "There is a woman who wants to see Marquis Yun."

Liang Yuyao looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Which family is it again?"

Xu Zhiqiong pointed at the puppet and said, "Maybe his wife is here."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiqiong carried the puppet to the front yard, and saw Chang Decai hurriedly waiting in the yard.

Chang De is not easy to show his face in front of outsiders, making an exception today must be something urgent.

Xu Zhiqiong took her to the east courtyard and asked why.

Chang Decai said: "Hong Juncheng left the palace and went to Yuchun Lane in the south of the city."

"broken!"

Xu Zhiqiong turned pale with shock.

Stone Eye is in the courtyard of Yuchun Lane in the south of the city.
