Judge of the Lamp

Lingzheng took 15 silver, took the "Ancestral Nursing Records", told Yao Jingtai to come back to collect the house tomorrow, and then drove everyone out.

Yao Jingtai didn't care about the injury on his face, and rushed all the way to the palace.

After seeing the god, Yao Jingtai presented the head first.

Hong Juncheng frowned, silently looking at the head.

After watching for a while, Hong Juncheng's brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He touched the head, touched the eyeballs, touched the lips and cheeks, and touched the fracture under the neck.

He was sure that this was Xu Zhiqiong's head.

Hong Juncheng's plan was perfect, he led Xu Zhiqiong to Hong Huaheng's residence, and let Ling Zhengzheng secretly ambush him.

As for who will win this vicious battle, no matter who kills whom, it is a very good result for Hong Juncheng.

If it was Ling Zhengze who died, there would be a third-rank spy from Fanxiao Kingdom missing in Shenlin City, and Hong Juncheng would be missing an important threat.

And Xuanguo's Marquis Yun killed Ling Zhengze, and Fanxiao Kingdom would definitely turn against Xuanguo. To Hong Juncheng, this was a [-]% good result.

Now it was Xu Zhiqiong who died, so it was not as simple as an important threat.

Xu Zhiqiong was a knife inserted into Hong Juncheng's chest. This knife was inserted in a legitimate way, and the deeper it was inserted, the left and right were sawed, and it could not be pulled out.

Now that the knife has been pulled out, it is the same reason that if the spies of Fanxiao Kingdom killed Xuanguo's Marquis Yun, Xuanguo would not let it go. For Hong Juncheng, this is a [-]% good result.

Yao Jingtai knelt on the ground and said, "Shenjun, Lingzheng knows too much, do you want to kill him?"

Hong Juncheng shook his head: "Why kill him? He is the murderer that Xuanguo wants, keep him, just to give Xuanguo an explanation, let him go back!"

Yao Jingtai said again: "Since Xu Zhiqiong is a judge, he may be able to keep his soul after death. I'm afraid he will use other means to revive him."

"Not afraid." Hong Juncheng smiled lightly, pressed the head with his hands, and rolled back and forth on the head with bursts of arrogance.

The dry blood on the head gradually became moist, flowing back and forth in the wooden box drop by drop.

After more than half an hour, Hong Juncheng heaved a sigh of relief.

This is Canglong's domineering second-grade skill, and it will fly thousands of miles away.

This technique, relying on the blood of the dead, can directly destroy the primordial spirit of the dead regardless of distance.

Hong Juncheng wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said to Yao Jingtai: "Take this head, go to Yuyao Palace, and tell Liang Yuyao that Yunhou is dead, tragically at the hands of Fan Xiao's spy."

Yao Jingtai said cautiously: "I'm afraid Fanxiao Kingdom won't admit it."

Hong Juncheng smiled and said, "Let Xuan Guo investigate, there are plenty of witnesses in the knife market."

……

The sky was shaking, Yang Wu was absorbing Yin Qi, a man in black was hanging in the air, pointing a few words from time to time.

"Since our Taoist school uses pure yin energy, our mind should also be purer. You are restless today, and it is difficult to improve your cultivation base like this.
You let go of the distracting thoughts in your heart, and think about the qi mechanism all over your body, which circulates together with this pure yin place, as if the two sides contain each other, as if completely... Uh! "

The man in black trembled and stopped speaking abruptly.

Yang Wu opened his eyes, looked up, and asked cautiously: "Patriarch, what did the disciple do wrong?"

The man in black held his chest and murmured, "Which bastard plotted against me? Almost hurt my soul."

Before Yang Wu could figure out what happened, he saw the man in black vomit and vomit a mouthful of blood.

Yang Wu was shocked, and was about to step forward to check, but saw the man in black waved his hand, signaling him not to approach.

The man in black took back the vomited blood into his palm, and sniffed it close to his nose.

"It's domineering!" The man in black was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Did Canglong's men attack me?"

Yang Wu said in amazement: "You mean the True God Canglong?"

The man in black shook his head and said: "It's not Canglong, it's Canglong's subordinate, don't worry about it, and practice well here, I have something important to do, let's take a step first."

……

In Yuyao Palace, the moment she saw Xu Zhiqiong's head, Liang Yuyao fainted.

When she woke up, she felt dizzy, grabbed Pang Jiafen and said, "Go and find Tong Qingqiu, he knows yin and yang, let him see if this head is real?"

Pang Jiafen ran to find Tong Qingqiu.

Lin Qianniang stared at the head for a long time, tears streaming down her face.

"It's not true, it must not be true, Xu Lang is a stubborn person, it must not be true..."

Not long after, Tong Qingqiu rushed over, stared at the head for a while, and sat down on the ground with a plop.

"Brother, brother, I...you, what happened to you..."

"Is this...really?" Liang Yuyao stepped forward and grabbed Tong Qingqiu, "Is this true?"

Tong Qingqiu pushed Liang Yuyao away, hugged the head and said: "Brother, what happened to you?"

Liang Yuyao sat on the seat, as if she had lost her soul.

Chu He rushed in, saw Xu Zhiqiong's head, and burst into tears.

Yu Shan stood beside him in astonishment and speechless.

Yu Chilan burst into the main hall crying, hugged the head of "Xu Zhiqiong", and cried, "Can he come back to life? Didn't he come back to life before? Can he still come back to life?"

"Master Denglang!" Brother Xing fell all the way into the hall, crying so hard that he couldn't even speak.

Yu Shan lowered his voice and asked, "Is that really Xu Zhiqiong?"

Liang Zhenjie responded in a low voice in his ear: "It's a pity, it's a pity for this wonderful boy."

Even Liang Zhenjie said it was true.

Is Xu Zhiqiong really dead?
Niu Yuxian was expressionless, his right hand trembled slightly, and a lantern appeared in his hand.

A scimitar protruded from the lantern pole, and the blade touched Yao Jingtai's neck.

"Say! Who killed Yunhou?"

"This, this..." Yao Jingtai was startled.

Niu Yuxian's wrist trembled, and blood flowed from Yao Jingtai's neck.

Liang Yuyao came back to her senses, stood up and said, "Who did it? Is it your gods? Tell me the truth, or I'll cut you alive!"

Yao Jingtai waved his hands again and again and said: "Everyone calm down, let me say something, Yunhou died at the hands of Fanxiao Xizuo Lingzheng,

Lingzheng is a cultivator of the third rank of the Dao of Killing, who has been hiding in Shenlin City for many years as a wandering knife. A month ago, the Black Clothes Camp found out the details of this guy and was secretly monitoring his movements.

Three days ago, Lingzheng left Shenlin City and went to Lunzhou. I sent someone to follow him. I saw him fighting Yunhou in Chiguan County.
My subordinates wanted to step forward to help, but it was too late..."

Speaking of this, Yao Jingtai paused, and said sadly: "We only took back Yunhou's head, but the body was destroyed by Lingzheng."

When Liang Yuyao heard this, her face turned pale.

Tong Qingqiu shook his hands and said, "Where is this bastard?"

The corners of Yu Shan's eyes twitched, feeling that something was wrong, and asked instead: "Why did the spies of Fanxiao Kingdom attack Yunhou?"

Yao Jingtai shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter."

Yu Shan wanted to ask again, but suddenly Liang Yuyao shouted: "Wuwei Camp, Tsing Yi Pavilion, and Hong Yi Pavilion are ordered to find out the whereabouts of Ling Zhengzheng for me. Even if we turn Shenlincheng over today, I have to arrest this fellow." live!"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Yu Shan shouted: "Princess, wait a moment, this is the kingdom of Qiancheng, if we act rashly, there may be something wrong."

Liang Yuyao stared at Yu Shan and said, "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, you don't go! You just go back to Daxuan!"

Yu Shan leaned over and saluted, "Ling Zhengze's identity has been exposed, so why would he stay in Shenlin City? It would be futile to search again, Your Highness, don't act recklessly, and don't give away the truth easily."

While speaking, Yu Shan looked at Yao Jingtai.

Yao Jingtai's expression was a little unnatural.

Yu Shan was right to worry.

Now all the staff are dispatched to find Ling Zhengzheng. If Yuyao Palace is emptied, Liang Yuyao will be in danger.

Even if Hong Juncheng didn't make a sneak attack, the Xuanguo army's random actions in Shenlin City would still give Hong Juncheng an excuse to attack.

Yu Chilan looked at Yu Shan and said, "You have a grudge against Zhiqiong, I don't need you, I will avenge Zhiqiong myself."

Yu Chilan got up to leave, but Li Xuefei stopped her and said, "Don't be reckless, what General Yu said makes sense, Your Highness, this matter should be reported to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will make the decision first!"

……

In the city of Shenlin, Youdaoyalang was resting under a big tree when he suddenly saw a handsome woman walking up to her with a folded umbrella.

Judging by her attire, this woman should be the daughter of a rich family, not here to hire a knife.

Yalang didn't intend to pay attention to him at first, but his eyes were fixed on the woman, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

This woman is so beautiful!

He has never seen such a beauty in his age, she is even more beautiful than the people in the paintings.

Yalang stared at that woman, squinted his eyes and said, "Girl, did you come to see me?"

The woman smiled and said, "I'm here to hire a knife. If not you, who can I find?"

Are you really here to hire a knife?

Yalang got up quickly and said, "I don't know what kind of knife the girl wants to hire?"

"I want your best knives."

"The best..." Yalang scratched his head and said, "Girl, let me take a look, if you agree, we can negotiate the price."

The woman nodded and followed Yalang into the deep alley.

After entering the courtyard, Yalang pointed to a room and asked the woman, "The knives here are all of the eighth grade."

The woman shook her head and said: "Eight grades are not good."

Yalang pointed to another room: "The knives here are of the seventh grade."

"Seventh rank is not good."

"There is only one sixth-grade knife, I will take you to have a look, his price is not low..."

Yalang walked and talked, suddenly found that his legs and feet were not working well, he couldn't walk anymore.

The handsome woman put away her umbrella, walked up to Yalang and asked, "Where is Lingzheng?"

Yalang panicked and said, "Girl, what are you going to do..."

A peach blossom fell, and Yalang had a bloody mouth on his face.

Yalang exclaimed, and all the swordsmen in the room rushed out when they heard the movement.

There is only one handsome woman in the yard, so handsome that she is not like a mortal.

This woman is Tao Huayuan.

Before the group of wandering knives figured out the reason, Tao Huayuan waved her hand casually, and a rain of peach blossoms fell,

All the swimming knives in the yard could not be moved, and the sharp petals left bloodstains on their bodies.

Yalang said with tears in his eyes, "Miss, I have something to discuss!"

Tao Huayuan looked around the crowd and said, "Who knows where Ling Zheng is?"

Yalang cried, "I went out to do business three days ago, and I haven't seen him since then."

Tao Huayuan smiled coldly: "Then what's the use of keeping you?"

Seeing the peach petals flying again, Yalang shouted, "I know where Lingzheng lives, and I'll take you there!"

Yalang led Tao Huayuan out of the deep alley, and walked all the way to the east of the city.

He didn't dare to lie to Tao Huayuan, all the swordsmen he knew were no match for Tao Huayuan.

Lingzheng's residence was very remote, and there were not many families around. When he arrived in front of Lingzheng's house, a tall and strong man walked towards him.

Yalang was stunned and speechless, he didn't recognize this man.

Tao Huayuan shook off Yalang, stared at the man and said, "Are you Lingzheng?"

The man didn't answer, but ran away.

Tao Huayuan raised her sword eyebrows, and followed closely.

The man ran outside the city, and Tao Huayuan chased him outside the city, until they reached a wilderness, but the man did not escape.

Tao Huayuan opened the folding umbrella, the edge of the umbrella turned, peach blossoms were flying: "Ling Zhengze, let me ask you first, why did you kill Xu Zhiqiong?"

The man turned his head, saw no one was around, and suddenly came to Tao Huayuan's side.

Tao Huayuan was shocked.

This man is so fast!

He knows yin and yang, and he is also familiar with my formation.

While thinking about it, the man pinned her on his lap, tore off her shirt, and took a hard bite of Tao Zi.

Tao Huayuan didn't cry out in pain, nor did she struggle.

She wept.

"What a thief boy, you really scared me to death."
