Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 843 The Second Emperor of Qiancheng Kingdom

The "Liang Yuyao" in the Yuxian Hall was pretended by Xu Zhiqiong.

And this Hong Zhenji was pretended by a puppet of a god.

Hong Juncheng smelled the flesh and blood of the Hong family because Hong Zhenji's blood was in the puppet of the god.

Hong Juncheng smelled domineering because there were dragon beards in the puppet of the god.

Dragon whiskers are used to suture souls.

Among the puppet gods, there are only two souls, one belongs to Emperor Zhaoxing and the other belongs to Long Xiulian.

Xu Zhiqiong and Xia Hu have learned suturing skills for a long time, but it is not an easy task to really sew the soul together, especially the soul after suturing must maintain a certain level of combat power.

Moreover, the god puppet must be used in conjunction with the skill of closing the orifice. If there are too many souls, Shen Shuliang's skill proficiency will not be able to control the scale of the orifice sealing at all.

For these two souls, it is extremely difficult to seal them.

First, Emperor Zhaoxing, who controlled the puppet's movements, sitting and lying down, because Emperor Zhaoxing's ability to move was limited and he could better control it.

The puppet's language was also controlled by Emperor Zhaoxing, but in order to prevent him from talking nonsense, Shen Shuliang used strict sealing techniques, so that he could only speak a few words.

Yang Wu repeatedly emphasized that it was just a few words.

But Li Quangen confirmed that there were only three sentences.

The above are the functions of Emperor Zhaoxing, so what can Long Xiulian do?

Behind the god puppet, there are two double spells. These two spells are very critical, and they have gathered a lot of hard work from Xu Zhiqiong and Shen Shuliang.

Uncovering one of the spells, Long Xiulian, who was severely sealed, will rely on instinct to fight, but the fight is only carried out within the puppets.

If the double talisman is uncovered, Long Xiulian will control his body to fight. This is the worst outcome Xu Zhiqiong imagined. On the premise that he is unable to continue fighting with Hong Juncheng, let Long Xiulian help him fight.

The risk of doing this is extremely high, and Long Xiulian may break free from the sealing technique and completely control the puppet. At that time, Xu Zhiqiong will face another crazy and terrifying opponent.

Although only one spell has been uncovered now, there are also risks. Xu Zhiqiong can feel the surge of the power of imagery, but if Long Xiulian breaks free from the sealing technique, it is hard to say that he and Hong Juncheng will continue to fight or choose to cooperate .

Xu Zhiqiong didn't even know if the two had met before.

But as long as the sealing technique is not cracked, Long Xiulian will instinctively release the power of the image of the third grade, and temporarily trap Hong Juncheng. This is the final mission of the god puppet.

As for how to control Shenjun in the future, Xu Zhiqiong has two plans.

The first plan is to replenish the power of imagery to the puppet of the god from time to time, and then ask Shen Shuliang to continuously strengthen the sealing skills in the puppet, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling Long Xiulian for a long time, and use Long Xiulian's power to seal Hong Juncheng for a long time.

This set of plans is simple to operate and highly executable. It can observe Hong Juncheng's situation at all times, and in case of abnormal situations, as long as Xu Zhiqiong is present, he can take appropriate measures.

Based on the above considerations, Xu Zhiqiong chose the second plan.

He took out the copper lotus, and groped affectionately for a long time. After obtaining the consent of the lotus, it took less than half an hour to take the entire puppet of the god into it.

It took a long time, but Hong Juncheng was trapped in the puppet and could only let the lotus subdue him.

The lotus has the power of a true god, and it will definitely not be a problem to seal Hong Juncheng for a long time.

When the battle is over and Master or Xue Yun is free, let them take out Hong Juncheng's soul and interrogate him carefully. With their cultivation, they naturally don't worry about Hong Juncheng's soul escaping.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, by that time, the god puppet has not been refined into a elixir or something else.

If they were really refined, Longxu, Hong Juncheng, Long Xiulian, and Emperor Zhaoxing, what would they become...

Xu Zhiqiong picked up the lotus and looked at it, and suddenly had another idea.

Otherwise, don't hand over Hong Juncheng to the master, just practice slowly like this.

Xu Zhiqiong was very curious about what they could refine.

Putting away the copper lotus, Xu Zhiqiong jumped onto the roof of the Yuxian Hall.

From the Yuxian Hall to the Enwei Hall.

Standing at the highest point of Enwei Hall, Xu Zhiqiong looked at the slightly pale sky.

A new sun has risen!

……

In the afternoon, Yang Wu carried another god puppet to the palace.

This puppet looks exactly the same as Hong Juncheng, but the joints are not flexible enough, and it is a defective product that was eliminated when making the puppet of the god.

This defective product can only be used for one purpose, and that is to be Hong Juncheng's corpse.

At the time of application, Qin Yan, the chief inspector of ceremonies, officially announced the news that the god Hong Juncheng had passed away.

Hong Juncheng's era is over!
The torment of more than 700 years has ended since then!
Just as Hong Zhenji came out of the prison, he heard that the emperor had passed away. He bit his lip, suppressed a smile, and howled dryly: "The emperor! Brother!"

Seeing that Hong Zhenji was crying too badly, Qin Yan found two heads of garlic for Hong Zhenji and wiped them on his eyes.

Hong Zhenji finally cried tears, but the ministers also had difficulties. When they heard that the god had passed away, Grand Master Kong beat his chest and stomped his feet, and grabbed the ground with his head. His head was bleeding, but his eyes were always dry.

Seeing that the ministers were so sad, Qin Yan quickly asked Shangshan Supervisor to find good garlic, and each sent a head.

The ministers rubbed their eyes and shed tears, discussing Hong Juncheng's funeral with Hong Zhenji.

According to the tradition of Qiancheng Kingdom, the funeral of the god will last for three full years.

The first year has the most requirements, from the princes to the common people, the whole territory of Qiancheng must wear mourning clothes, and officials from all states and counties, big and small, must go to Shenlin City to pay their respects.

There are more rules in Shenlin City, mourning clothes must be worn within three years, the market is closed, and sales are strictly prohibited.

The market has not been opened for three years, and private sales are not allowed, but what do craftsmen eat?
The craftsmen of Qiancheng Kingdom are in this position. If they want to survive, they must either secretly leave Shenlin City, or secretly exchange for some food to survive.

Every time a god dies, there are always many craftsmen who can't survive. The official of Jinxiu still has records about this. A certain craftsman in Wangshiting heard that the first emperor passed away. He was so sad that he went on a hunger strike and died.

Moreover, the Jinxiu pen officials also have a very important task. During the funeral, they have to monitor the actions of the people in the streets and alleys.

Who drank, who sang, who didn't cry when the god was mentioned, and who not only didn't cry, but secretly laughed. These are all disrespectful to the late emperor.
This time when Hong Juncheng passed away, the Ministry of Rites proposed that according to the ancestral system, the funeral should be held for three years.

The Taishi proposed that the god-king's Wencheng Wude, his merits lasted for thousands of years, and the funeral should be five years.

He added two more years.

Grand Tutor Liao Chunzu suggested that the gods had repeatedly rescued Qiancheng from fire and water, and counting the kindness of the gods, ten years could not be counted. Therefore, he suggested that the funeral should be ten years.

This is the practice of the Qiancheng Kingdom. After the death of the monarch, the courtiers will discuss the extension of the funeral ceremony to express their respect and reluctance for the previous emperor.

It is difficult to understand if you are in another place. What do you mean by being so reluctant to part with the former monarch?Are you looking down on the new monarch?
In Qiancheng Country, this is easy to understand, because no matter the former or the current one, they are all one person.

The more reluctant the courtiers are, the more satisfied the god is, so this has become a custom in Qiancheng Kingdom.

As for whether to extend the funeral, it depends on Shenjun's own mood, and he doesn't want to wear mourning clothes all the time, so under normal circumstances, it will be three years according to the ancestral system.

But this year, the Shenjun changed, and no one in the entire Qiancheng Kingdom knew that after more than 700 years, the Shenjun finally changed.

Hong Zhenji, who was about to become a god, didn't know how special he was, and he couldn't even imagine that he was actually the second god of Qiancheng Kingdom.

Listening to the ministers' praise to the former emperor, Hong Zhenji was very unhappy, but he couldn't show it.

All the ministers waited for Hong Zhenji to make a final reply, Hong Zhenji was in a dilemma, but Qin Yan stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, please go to Yuxian Palace to take medicine."

taking medicine?

What medicine do you take?

Hong Zhenji looked at Qin Yan, and suddenly realized something.

Qin Yan is the handprint of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Qin Yan has to do some specific errands for the funeral. He obviously wanted to give himself some advice.

Hong Zhenji nodded and said: "Gentlemen wait a moment, I will go back if there are few people left."

A group of ministers thought that Hong Zhenji was overly sad, and they all asked you to take care of yourself.

When they arrived at the Yuxian Hall, Qin Yan took out an imperial edict and said, "According to the imperial edict, the funeral should be kept simple."

Hong Zhenji took the edict, looked at it, frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't this edict come out earlier?"

Qin Yan lowered her voice and said: "If this edict has been announced early, I'm afraid there will be people with ulterior motives who will use their scheming indiscriminately."

Hong Zhenji was stunned: "The unpredictable person means..."

Qin Yan shook her head and said: "I dare not speak nonsense, but if a minister says that the gods are as magnanimous as the gods, and the subjects have the will of the subjects, wouldn't this edict be useless?"

Hong Zhenji nodded, he could imagine the faces of the officials, especially the face of Grand Master Kong Zhongshen.

This old man is quite dissatisfied with me being a god.

Qin Yan went on to say: "Your Highness, you are going to be enthroned as a great treasure. Since you have a will, you don't need to discuss this matter with the officials."

Hong Zhenji held the will, his expression became more and more serious.

That's right, what should I discuss with them?
I'm about to become a god!

When will the emperor discuss things with his courtiers?

Lord Qiancheng does not need to discuss matters with anyone!
The so-called courtiers are servants who contribute to the gods!

"Qin Yan, if you say it's simple, how simple can it be?"

Qin Yan thought for a moment: "Stretch out three fingers."

"That is to say, it will take at least three years? But there is no other way?" Hong Zhenji frowned, he wanted Qian Chengguo to forget about the former emperor as soon as possible.

Qin Yan shook her head and said, "The old slave wants to talk about three days."

"Three days!" Hong Zhenji was startled, and angrily reprimanded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this conform to the rules of etiquette? Isn't this letting thousands of subjects point fingers at widows?"

Qin Yan lowered her voice to the lowest level: "Your Highness, if the finger is stuck behind, there will be plenty of ways to deal with it in the future, but if the finger is stuck in front of the body, it will lead to danger of hanging upside down."

Hong Zhenji was taken aback: "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by poking your finger in front of you?"

Qin Yan said: "The funeral is not over yet, and the new foundation is not yet established. This is an ancient ritual. Your Highness, please don't forget that the Second Son and the Third Son are still alive, and they may be poking their fingers in front of them, not necessarily with their hands."

Hong Zhenji took a deep breath.

Qin Yan is right, Qiancheng Kingdom does have the ancient ritual of "the funeral is not over, the new foundation is not stable", which means that as long as the funeral is not over, the status of the new god is not stable.

It is indeed unstable. During the funeral, the new monarch has to wear mourning clothes every day.

In the past, this was just a formality, but now it is not as simple as a formality. Hong Zhenji is not Hong Juncheng's son, and Hong Juncheng's two sons are still alive.

If these two sons jumped out, they might confront Hong Zhenji face to face at any time. This is the so-called accusation in front of him.

They may even raise their troops to make trouble. This is the so-called accusation without hands, but with weapons!
Qin Yan reminded again: "Your Highness, you have long nights and many dreams. Three days is not short, but it's hard to say whether there will be changes."

Hong Zhenji let out a long sigh, shook his head again and again and said, "Brother Huang is so kind to this widow. If the funeral is too hasty, how can I bear it?"

Qin Yan hurriedly asked: "According to Your Highness, how long should the ceremony be?"

Hong Zhenji sighed, looked at Qin Yan and said, "You said, can you do it in one day?"

Qin Yan was silent for a long time and said: "One day, this is really hasty..."

Hong Zhenji smacked his lips and said: "Brother Huang said to be simple, Brother Huang is a frugal person."

Qin Yan leaned over and saluted: "This old slave understands, this old slave will deal with it now."

Hong Zhenji sighed: "Even though it's the emperor's wish, it's hard for me to open my mouth."

Qin Yan nodded again: "Let's wait for the old slave to tell the ministers."
