Taibu thought for a moment and said: "Senior, this matter is not a joke."
Xu Rishu shook his head and said, "How could Xu be joking about such things?"
Taibu said again: "Senior, if you really want to kill Jiao Liewei, why don't you do it yourself?"
Xu Rishu sighed: "I have my own difficulties, but I can't tell you yet. Taibu, can you tell me whether I agree or not?"
Taibu thought about it for a long time, but still hesitated: "The Ghost Emperor is the third level of the underworld, and it is not easy to see him in the world of the world."
Xu Rishu said: "Taifu should have the means to enter the underworld."
"When we get to the underworld, I'm afraid I won't be Jiao Liewei's match."
Xu Rishu heard this and poured a glass of wine for Taibu: "Is Taibu always so cautious in doing things?
Let me be fair, if we were in the underworld, Taibu would have a 70% chance of winning against Jiao Liewei, but if we were in the human world, Jiao Liewei would not be able to survive ten rounds in Taibu's hands."
Taibu shook his head repeatedly and said: "Senior overestimated me."
"I didn't overestimate you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you. I know you have the ability. If you kill him, the Star Palace will be yours. If you don't agree..."
Xu Rishu slowly took the brocade box back.
Taibu hurriedly said: "Senior, wait a minute, I'm afraid that senior will not keep his word."
Xu Rishu smiled and said: "As long as you agree, I will give this to you, and there is no room for regrets!"
The contents of the brocade box are indeed important.
Taibu saw its purpose. It was a key, the key to the star palace.
After thinking again and again, Taibu took the brocade box into his arms.
…
Returning to the Onmyoji Division, Taifu took out a fortune teller and divined a hexagram.
Looking at the hexagrams, Taibu fell into deep thought.
This matter has to be dealt with in the mortal world. If I go to the underworld, I am afraid something will go wrong.
But if it were dealt with in the mortal world, it would involve that crazy life.
That Kuang Sheng is not an easy person to get along with. If you offend him, things will be difficult to handle.
…
At noon the next day, Taibu came to the Marquis Mansion, knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, Xia Hu came out.
Taibu looked at Xia Hu with a smile, he recognized this girl.
Xia Hu looked at Taibu for a moment, then turned around and shouted: "My lord, the Taibu who does not belong to this world is here!"
Taibu's smile solidified.
Xu Zhiqiong trotted out to greet him: "Taibu, why are you interested in coming to see me? Are you tired of living in the Star Palace? Come on, please come inside!"
Taibu laughed dryly, took out a brocade box and said: "This is Xue Xusan, which has miraculous effects on external injuries. Ordinary wounds only need a small amount and can be healed within a hundred puffs."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned, this was a very precious medicinal powder.
Why did Taibu give it to me?
"No reward for no merit, do you need Xu's help with something?"
Taibu nodded and said, "It's really a small thing. I'm polishing a puppet recently and want to find a quiet place. Your mansion is not small. Can you make room for me to stay in the yard first?"
Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Isn't the Yin and Yang Division unclean?"
Taibu smiled bitterly and said, "You also know that I am not in charge of the Onmyoji Division now."
"Brother Han didn't even give you a place to live? This is his fault!"
Taibu shook his head and said: "Han Chen left me a place to live, but the reason for this is..."
Xu Zhiqiong asked deliberately: "What is the reason?"
Taibu lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiqiong.
What does it mean to say yes or no, and to deliberately seek trouble?
In fact, Xu Zhiqiong didn't mind Taibu living in the Marquis Mansion. Although there were many secrets in the Marquis Mansion, Taibu knew most of these secrets.
The only thing that bothered Xu Zhiqiong was that Taibu didn't tell the truth.
If he wants to find a place to live, there are plenty of places in the capital. Buying a house at will is not as comfortable as living under someone else's roof.
Why does he want to live here?
That’s it, just agree.
Taibu is already a second-grade star officer, and there will be many things you need to ask of him in the future. Don't let this trivial matter ruin your friendship.
"The second-level courtyard on the west side is empty. I will order someone to clean it right away."
Taibu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for bothering you then."
"You're welcome, Taibu. It's noon. I've prepared some food and wine. Let's have a few drinks."
Chang De just made a table of wine and food, and the two of them drank a few drinks in the living room.
During the dinner, Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Taifu, what happened in the Star Palace?"
Taibu shook his head repeatedly and said: "It has something to do with the secrets of the Taoist sect, but I can't tell you about it. In short, the opportunity has not come yet."
Xu Zhiqiong stopped asking questions. He also knew that Taiguo had been in embarrassment these past few days.
After lunch, Xu Zhiqiong sent the fortune teller to the west courtyard. Just as he was about to go back to his bedroom to rest, he saw Zhong Jianxue, his face pale, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"Brother Zhong, what's wrong with you?"
Zhong Jianxue said with sweat on his face: "Brother Ma, I have to go to the underworld."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Jiao Liewei and Du Chunze are looking for you everywhere. If you go to the underworld at this time, I'm afraid you will never come back."
Zhong Jianxue shook his head and said: "Jiao Dijun is a reasonable person, I would like to take this opportunity to make the matter clear."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned, Zhong Jianxue behaved a little strangely.
No matter how much he trusted Jiao Liewei, it was too irrational to go to the underworld so rashly.
Mei Ling stepped forward and whispered a few words: "He is a cultivator of the underworld. He has to return to the underworld to replenish his yin energy every few days, otherwise his life will be in danger."
It turns out that this is the characteristic of those who practice the underworld.
It seems that as long as you enter the underworld, you will never be able to completely escape from the underworld for the rest of your life.
"It's easy to say that it's just Yin Qi. Brother Zhong, my brother Yang Wu is good at using Yin Qi. Just ask him to add some."
Zhong Jianxue hesitated for a moment and said, "You might as well give it a try."
Xu Zhiqiong called Yang Wu, who mixed some pure yin energy and transported it to Zhong Jianxue's meridians.
Zhong Jianxue's face slowly gained color, and the cold sweat on his face gradually receded.
But not long after, a layer of frost covered his face. Zhong Jianxue huddled in the yard with her knees in her arms and began to tremble all over.
"No, this Yin Qi is too pure!"
Zhong Jianxue couldn't bear Yang Wu's pure yin energy.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "That's easy to say. I'll use some yang energy to help you reconcile it."
Mei Ling shook her head and said: "The Yin Qi in the underworld is ever-changing. If the mixture is wrong, it may kill him."
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and took out a magic spell from his arms: "This thing should work."
This was the curse that was found from Pei Hongru's body. At that time, Pei Hongru tried to pull out the charm, but failed and died directly at the hands of Xu Zhiqiong.
Zhong Jianxue was very happy when she saw the magic spell. He quickly activated the spell and turned a hundred-foot radius into the underworld.
After staying in the underworld for a long time, until the magic spell completely expired, Zhong Jianxue's condition recovered to some extent.
Zhong Jianxue sighed and said: "This is not a long-term solution after all."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Zhong, please bear with me for a while until Xu finds another way..."
As he was speaking, the Order for Punishing Evil Sons trembled, and Lu Yanyou called Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong hurried to the Evil Punishment Department.
Zhong Jianxue sat under the eaves of the corridor, feeling more and more distracted.
The Taibu in the west courtyard stroked his beard, nodded and said: "So this is the person who is in danger. He must not be able to survive tonight."
…
Arriving at the gate of Chang Shi's Mansion, Xu Zhiqiong heard Lang Zhongxue yelling:
"Can you still open the Department of Punishing Evil? You can't redeem your merits by rewarding good deeds, nor can you redeem your merits by punishing evildoers?"
Lang Zhongxue brought three horns with him and came to the judge Wang Yaner to write a verdict.
Wang Yaner warned him that he could not go to the underworld now, but Lang Zhongxue refused to listen, and Wang Yaner did not dare to write the verdict. As a result, Lang Zhongxue was angered and went to make trouble with Lu Yanyou.
Lang Zhongxue pinched his waist, stood at the door of Chang Shi's Mansion and cursed: "Even if you are a bastard, you still have to stick your head out to take a breath. You guys are shrinking like this every day, you are not even as good as a bastard!"
Zhao Baijiao gritted her teeth and said, "This guy is so arrogant and scolds him so unpleasantly, but Lao Lu still tolerates him?"
"Bear it," Wang Yan'er sighed, "it's not unpleasant. Didn't you hear him scolding me..."
Lu Yanyou had no choice but to go to Zhong Zaifu and tell Shangguan Qing what happened.
Shangguan Qing thought for a long time and said: "What people said makes sense. If he doesn't even dare to go to the underworld, why do we call him a judge? Let him hand over his crimes to me first, and I will go and redeem his merits!"
He's on top again!
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and stopped Shangguan Qing: "I can't go now, what if I encounter Jiao Liewei?"
Shangguan Qing shouted: "What are you afraid of? It's all third grade. The worst is to fight."
"If I were to fight with you in the human world, how could we fight together in the underworld?"
Shangguan Qing said: "Then what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "We don't need to worry about this matter. We have stopped our business, Ming Dao has also lost its achievements, and their lives are not easy. After a while, the star officials of Xuanwu Ming Dao will also take action, and they will naturally sort out the worries.
Liewei."
Shangguan Qing said: "Then how do we live our lives?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I will go to the northern border to find out more about the situation of the Northern Ghost Emperor. We can go to the Northern Yin Division to redeem our merits."
There are five ghost emperors in the southeast, northwest, and middle, each in charge of one side.
As long as we can go to the Northern Yin Division, the matter of meritorious service can be solved, and the matter of Zhong Jianxue can also be solved.
Shangguan Qing shook his head repeatedly: "Isn't this nonsense? Why should a dignified judge from China go to the Northern Yin Division to redeem his merits? Don't you think it's shabby?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, the "Tomb Master Record Book" of Xuan Guo and Tu Nu has been combined into one book. The judge's road in the north is also under our jurisdiction. What's wrong with us going to the north to redeem our merits?"
"What's wrong is wrong. I'm going to find Jiao Liewei right now!" Shangguan Qing got angry again.
Xu Zhiqiong tried hard to persuade him, but Lang Zhongxue scolded him at the gate of the Tomb Zaifu.
He climbed up a big tree, pointed at the yard of Tsukazaifu, and cursed loudly: "I said, which bastard dares to get out of his shell and give me a reply!"
…
Late at night, Zhong Jianxue broke into sweat again, and the yin energy replenished by the magic spell was exhausted.
Yang Wu said from the side: "Brother Zhong, how about I give you some more Yin Qi?"
Pure yin energy can indeed relieve Zhong Jianxue's pain, but the damage caused is too great.
Zhong Jianxue took a breath of pure yin air, shivered for a long time and said: "I'm feeling better, I want to walk around."
Yang Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
This is Xu Zhiqiong's instruction. No matter where Zhong Jianxue goes, Yang Wu must follow behind him.
Zhong Jianxue walked around the mansion several times, but could not get rid of Yang Wu. Even though Zhong Jianxue had a fifth-level cultivation level, his body was weak and Yang Wu was already at the sixth level, which was not far behind the fifth level.
Walking to the east courtyard, Zhong Jianxue suddenly entered a wing room.
Yang Wudao: "Brother Zhong, what are you doing here?"
Zhong Jianxue pointed to the corner of the wing and said, "Brother Yang, what do you think that is?"
Yang Wu looked up and saw a bamboo horse placed in the corner.
"It's that one! It's really that one!"
This is the bamboo horse of bell ginseng.
Yang Wu looked happy and rushed over. He rode the bamboo horse and circled the house twice: "Brother Zhong, you are so awesome. I have been looking for so many days and still can't find it. How did you know that this bamboo horse is hidden?" exist……"
Yang Wu rode a bamboo horse and looked around.
Zhong Jianxue disappeared.
…
Zhong Jianxue jumped out of the mansion, found a deserted corner, pulled out her long sword, and drew a circle in the air.
He wanted to open the entrance to the underworld, but found that the sword had passed without leaving any trace.
The spell doesn't work?
No, someone interfered with his technique.
Several qi machines appeared crisscrossing all around, trapping Zhong Jianxue in them.
