Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 989 Why is he here?
After bidding farewell to Ji Qi, Xu Zhiqiong returned to Daxuan Capital.

The capital was decorated with lanterns and festoons, celebrating the great victory of Yuanzhou. Canglongwei was still in Yuanzhou and hadn't returned yet. The capital had already received the news of victory.

This victory came very strangely. A Nufu army that could easily defeat the Yuanzhou army was defeated by Canglongwei in the first battle. Such a good thing, if you encounter it in your dreams, you will wake up laughing.

Liang Yuyang is a smart man and a good emperor. Xu Zhiqiong doesn't need to remind him about this matter. He can make a correct response. When the time is right, Xu Zhiqiong will get rid of Liang Yushen.

The main purpose of Xu Zhiqiong's return from this trip was to visit Liu De'an.

Under the watchful eyes of the lantern, Liu De'an has been lying on the bed without moving. Xu Zhiqiong also hoped to find out Yuan Chengfeng's plan through him. Unexpectedly, half a day ago, Liu De'an could not move at all, and he died.

Is it really dead?
When we arrived at Liu De'an's courtyard, the mourning hall had already been set up. Liu De'an's parents were far away from home and hadn't arrived yet. Zou Shunda was in charge of the funeral, and several clerks from the Ministry of Punishment were also there.

Xu Zhiqiong came to mourn the funeral in person, and Zou Shunda led the crowd to greet him.

Coming to the corpse, Xu Zhiqiong looked at it for a moment, Liu De'an was indeed dead, his body was covered with abscesses, and in many places, pus and blood seeped out of his clothes.

The person who helped him pick up the corpses must have so much courage.

While no one was paying attention, Xu Zhiqiong took away Liu De'an's crimes, left a gift money, expressed his condolences, and then left.

When he arrived at Zhonglangyuan, Xu Zhiqiong released Liu De'an's soul.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he saw a tall figure wearing a mask standing in front of him. Liu De'an fought with each other and asked, "Is this the underworld or the yang world?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled slightly and said, "What do you think?"

"Is it the underworld?" Liu De'an cried, "Am I really dead? I was wronged!"

"And where does the injustice come from?"

Liu De'an cried: "I just went to the Jiqing class a few times, and who knows, I got dirty. There are too many people in our yamen who go to that place, and they are all fine, so I got infected."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "There are many people suffering from dirty diseases in that place, why are you wronged?"

"You won't die if you get a dirty disease! At most, it's useless, so why let me die!" While speaking, Liu De'an wept uncontrollably.

Xu Zhiqiong said a few words of comfort: "Don't cry, and tell me how you died? If you are really wronged, maybe you can be rehabilitated!"

"Huanyang? Seriously?" Liu De'an hurriedly said, "I met a good woman in Jiqing class in those days, and I went there a few times. Later, I heard that the woman had a heart disease, and I was a little bit itchy.
I went to the doctor and prescribed a lot of medicines, but none of them worked. There were more and more abscesses on my body.

One day when I was on duty at the Yamen, I fell asleep for some reason, and I didn’t know how long I slept for. After I woke up, I came here, and I just died in a daze.
My lord, I don’t know what rank your official residence is. I guess you are in charge of the prison in the underworld, and I also manage the prison in the yang. In view of this friendship, let me be fair, the woman who got sick didn’t die , Why should I die? Am I not being wronged? "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "It's a little wronged. In this way, I will ask you some things, and you should answer them truthfully. I may be able to say a few good words for you. The Yin Division may let you go back to the yang world. , have you been to Yuanzhou?"

"Yuanzhou?" Liu De'an was stunned for a while before he remembered what Yuanzhou was, "I heard about this place in the academy, but I forgot whether it was in the north or the south, let alone these days, I have never been there in my life Yuanzhou."

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Do you know Yuan Chengfeng?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"After you fell asleep in the yamen, do you remember that you went back home, and your former classmates visited you?"

"I don't remember what happened when I went home, let alone my classmates. Those people in Wuche Academy are heartless, who can come to visit me?"

As far as Liu De'an's behavior is concerned, no one should really look at him, but in fact Zou Shunda often visited him, and Xu Zhiqiong also visited once, but this guy didn't know it at all.

For every question, Xu Zhiqiong used the mantra.

Since Liu De'an entered the Ministry of Punishment, he has never practiced seriously, and his cultivation level is still at the ninth rank of the Dao of Killing.

He has neither the ability nor the wisdom to bypass the mantra and can be sure that everything he says is true.

This proves that he was taken over by Yuan Chengfeng, during which Liu De'an completely lost consciousness.

What method did Yuan Chengfeng use to seize the house?
Use Yuanshen to invade Liu De'an's soul?
Domineering out of the mortal world, the primordial spirit can leave the soul.

What Yuan Chengfeng cultivated is not domineering, and his cultivation base is not above the ordinary world.

His primordial spirit can occupy Liu De'an's soul, which is bewitched by the sinner, allowing him to obtain extraterrestrial power.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhiqiong sorted out the context of the matter.

After Yuan Chengfeng left the Xituyin Division, he came to Daxuan Capital, and the Yuanshen attached himself to Liu De'an.

There are probably three reasons for choosing Liu De'an. One is that Liu De'an is sick and weak, so it is easier to attack.

The second is that Liu De'an and Xu Zhiqiong are acquainted, Xu Zhiqiong never puts Liu De'an in his eyes, and will not suspect him, so Yuan Chengfeng completed the seizure in Daxuan Capital, and Xu Zhiqiong knew nothing about it. known.

The third is that Liu De'an works in the Ministry of Punishment. Although the official position is extremely low, it is convenient for Yuan Chengfeng to act.

After Yuan Chengfeng finished seizing the house, he took advantage of Liu De'an's position in the Ministry of Justice to do some actions. Xu Zhiqiong heard from Emperor Chang Le that Liu De'an had contributed to the recruitment of Canglongwei.

This move was tantamount to revealing his identity to Liang Yushen without anyone noticing, and gained Liang Yushen's trust.

Liang Yushen knew that Liu De'an was Yuan Chengfeng, so he naturally had to play Yuan Chengfeng's role.

Yuan Chengfeng has two functions, one is to collect people, and the other is to collect equipment.

Under Liang Yushen's deployment, Yuan Chengfeng became the envoy of the Nufu Sect. Yuan Chengfeng gathered the Nufu Sect members from all states and counties in Yuanzhou through some kind of magic circle, and gathered the Nufu Sect members in Qiancheng Kingdom and Tunu Kingdom. All the weapons and silver that he brought down were sent to Yuanzhou.

The Nufu disciples became an army, but Yuan Chengfeng was not good at commanding battles, so he handed over the fighting to Yun Ying.

After capturing Yuanshi City, the Nufu Cultists completely defeated the Yuanzhou Army in Qinshu County. Yuan Chengfeng's mission in Yuanzhou was completed, and the rest was for the Nufu Cultists to die.

There is no need for Yuan Chengfeng to participate in such things as sending him to death. Yuan Chengfeng still attached to Liu De'an and returned to the capital.

When he went to visit a doctor, the Liu De'an Xu Zhiqiong met was Yuan Chengfeng.

Xu Zhiqiong was puzzled by this incident at first. Liu De'an was seriously ill and festered all over his body. It stands to reason that under such circumstances, Yuan Chengfeng should have another body.

Moreover, Liu De'an has already been suspected by Xu Zhiqiong, Yuan Chengfeng should also change his identity.

According to Xu Zhiqiong's inference, Yuan Chengfeng probably couldn't leave Liu De'an's body at that time, or he couldn't find a suitable object to possess. In short, this was a failure caused by his lack of means.

Now that he was smoothing it out again, Xu Zhiqiong found that this was not a failed move, but a coup, a coup beyond imagination.

It was precisely because Yuan Chengfeng showed his flaws that Xu Zhiqiong focused a lot of attention on Yuan Chengfeng.

But at that time Yuan Chengfeng had already completed the mission, what really needed attention was the ritual outside Yuanshi City.

Thinking about it now, I'm really glad that Xu Zhiqiong didn't waste too much time on Liu De'an.

If Xu Zhiqiong started a fight with Yuan Chengfeng in the capital, Xu Zhiqiong would ignore the affairs outside Yuanshi City, and Liang Zhenxuan would be quietly revived with the help of sacrifices, and the condition for the sinner's death would be fulfilled.

Such an ingenious plan, was it Yuan Chengfeng who came up with it, or the culprit?
In front of Xu Zhiqiong, Yuan Chengfeng hardly showed any flaws. On the one hand, it came from the sophistication of experience, and on the other hand, from the strength of external forces.

At that time, Yuan Chengfeng might have considered fighting Xu Zhiqiong, but due to the gap in cultivation, he still chose to endure.

Of course, Xu Zhiqiong also left behind Liu De'an, leaving a lantern in the small courtyard.

Yuanshi City started the war, and Yuan Chengfeng's mission was completely completed, so he gave up Liu De'an's body and attached himself to someone else.

The question now is, who is he possessing?
It is difficult to investigate this matter, because during this period, Liu De'an was completely unconscious and could not provide any valuable clues.

But this matter is not urgent, Xu Zhiqiong is sure to deal with Yuan Chengfeng, even if he has the power from outside the world.

After taking Liu De'an's soul, Xu Zhiqiong went to the Department of Yin and Yang.

The situation of the Onmyoji Division is very serious. Because Dabu Hanchen was suspected of sabotaging the ceremony, the entire Onmyoji Division was under surveillance. Xu Zhiqiong found the guards of the Imperial Army near the Onmyoji Division, and also found several colleagues of the Imperial City Division.

Naturally, they couldn't stop Xu Zhiqiong and quietly entered the Onmyoji Department. Xu Zhiqiong went to visit Tao Huayuan first.

Tao'er was promoted to the third rank, and she just woke up not long ago, her body is extremely weak.

"Thief boy, are you willing to come to see me?" Seeing Xu Zhiqiong, Tao Huayuan's pale face had a rare look of joy.

"Tao'er is suffering." Xu Zhiqiong gave Tao'er some water to drink, and told Tao'er what happened recently.

Of course, Xu Zhiqiong only talked about things that Tao Huayuan could hear. When he learned that Han Chen destroyed the ritual to prevent false gods from usurping the throne, Tao Huayuan almost fell into a coma. Qiong still couldn't reveal the identity of the false god, Tao Huayuan couldn't bear this.

"Then, where is the true god Canglong?" Tao Huayuan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I know where he is, and I'm going to visit him, please help me find some magic tools for launching into the water."

The magic weapon is easy to say, Tao Huayuan asked Xu Zhiqiong to give the best water-entry magic weapon of the Department of Yin and Yang, but she was still worried.

"Thief boy, what kind of cultivation are you? Do you dare to touch the things of the true god? Can you listen to me once and stay with me in the Yin Yang Division for two days, and you don't care about this matter."

Xu Zhiqiong touched Tao Huayuan's face, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. When this matter is settled, I will stay with you as long as I want!"

Xu Zhiqiong left an anchor point in the old land of Dagan, and then went to that barren land.

The old land of Qiancheng is very vast, fortunately Han Chen told him the place where he entered the water before, and he left a mark on the shore, so it is not difficult to find.

Along the way, Xu Zhiqiong kept thinking about how to negotiate with the True God Canglong.

When he found the place to go into the water, Xu Zhiqiong was still worried. He was about to do some fortune telling, but he saw a man lying on the ground among the rocks, dying.

The man's figure was very familiar, Xu Zhiqiong walked up to him and turned him over.

The man adjusted his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Zhiqiong.

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smile, a standard curved smile.

Chaos clone?

How is he here?
