Chapter 663 Candlestick

Chapter 663 Candlestick

Does the divine machine eye still have senses?

My divine machine eye has been cut off, how can I still feel it?

Xu Zhiqiong remained calm and followed Luo Hui to the Divine Eye Pavilion with a calm expression.

In the stone chamber, the Divine Machine Eyes have been lit up, and the figure of He Qingye appears in the pupils. She just killed a Divine Machine Minister in the farmland.

The person is already dead, but He Qingye is still groping over her head, trying to collect the karma of her sins.

Ge Junxin said angrily: "How rampant the witch is! Who is willing to take the head of this witch? To avenge my god Ji Sierlang!"

Everyone present looked at each other in shock. Everyone knew that the old minister was shouting for revenge and was enjoying the fun in his heart.

Lu Zuoqing had a bad start, and Shan Zhongming was careless in hiring people. The old minister laughed at the two of them making a fool of themselves. How could he be unhappy?

There was a man who was ready to make a move. General Jiang Shengqun wanted to come forward and ask for a fight.

Logically speaking, he was not qualified to enter the Divine Eye Pavilion without being summoned. He had been standing guard at the door, and when he saw Xu Zhiqiong coming, he took the opportunity to follow him in.

The guards at Shenyan Pavilion all thought Jiang Shengqun was a confidant of Lord Shushou and did not stop him.

The reason why Jiang Shengqun rushed to follow up was because he wanted to make meritorious deeds too much.

After a huge defeat in the previous battle, although the situation calmed down the Lord, Jiang Shengqun has been in a state of being abandoned.

He was the one who lost the battle, so naturally he didn't dare to complain, but he really wanted to make a military exploit and prove his worth again.

Ge Junxin glanced at Jiang Shengqun: "General Jiang, do you want to fight?"

Jiang Shengqun was about to speak but stopped. Shan Shushou did not speak, so he did not dare to say more.

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a long time, he was busy rubbing and patting the painting.

Wife, take this girl away quickly, something has happened.

The picture trembled slightly, Xia Hu received the message.

Xu Zhiqiong felt a little relieved and turned around and asked: "Who is willing to fight?"

Jiang Shengqun quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The final general is willing to take the head of this witch and present it to the Lord Privy Council."

"Who else is there?" Xu Zhiqiong ignored Jiang Shengqun.

He must be ignored. Jiang Shengqun's cultivation level is not low. If he really lets him go, Xia Hu will be in danger.

Jiang Shengqun felt unhappy and knelt on the ground with a red face.

The rest of the people had neither the intention nor the ability, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Ge Junxin remained silent, secretly mocking Shan Zhongming in his heart.

What has become of the Shenji Division under your rule?

The painting on the Shenji Eye suddenly disappeared. Xia Hu took He Qingye to Zhonglang Courtyard, and the Shenji Eye lost its sensitivity.

Xu Zhiqiong's face was full of anger, but his heart was relieved.

He scolded everyone and asked people to write to Lu Zuoqing, ordering him to be more careful.

Returning to the main building, Xu Zhiqiong sat silently in the hall on the third floor for a long time.

I saw it right just now, Shenji Eyes are in good condition, and the picture in the pupils is very clear.

Can't the divine machine eye and the candlestick be considered the same?

But the candlestick should at least be a magical weapon for summoning the divine machine eye. Now that the magical weapons have been replaced, why can the divine machine eye still be summoned?

Is this candlestick not important at all? What is important is the entire stone chamber and the entire Divine Eye Pavilion?

Xu Zhiqiong took the opportunity to go to Zhonglang Courtyard and asked Xia Hu about last night's situation.

Xia Hu was not idle all night, and led He Qingye to kill six of Lu Zuoqing's men until dawn. Unexpectedly, he almost encountered a catastrophe just now.

If Xu Zhiqiong hadn't stopped him, Jiang Shengqun would have found He Qingye, and Xia Hu would have been no match for him, and the two of them would have been in trouble.

"Didn't you say that the divine machine eye has been destroyed by you?" Xia Hu was still frightened.

Xu Zhiqiong took out the candlestick that was cut off last night: "I always thought this thing was the divine machine eye, but now it seems that these two things have nothing to do with each other."

At this point, Xu Zhiqiong paused and murmured: "It seems to be related again. You started taking action last night?"

Xia Hu nodded: "When Chou started to cut, he took two heads first."

Niu Yuxian replaced the candlestick around the time of his death. Xia Hu, out of caution, only started killing people when he was ugly.

"Did you take He Qingye with you last night?"

Xia Hu nodded and said: "I have been carrying her with me all this time. This girl is not very skilled and it took a lot of effort from me."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the candlestick again.

If this candlestick has nothing to do with the divine machine eye, then even if the candlestick is cut off, the divine machine eye will not be affected in any way.

Since Xia Hu has been carrying He Qingye with him, the divine machine eye should have sensed it last night.

But Shen Shuliang, the craftsman of the divine eye, only reported the news early this morning.

This means two possibilities.

First, the divine machine eye lost its sensing ability last night and did not recover until early in the morning.

Second, the divine machine eye has always maintained its sensing ability, but Shen Shuliang neglected his duties, and he only noticed it early this morning.

Xu Zhiqiong told Xia Hu: "Don't go to Yelang Kingdom today, wait for my news."

Xia Hu nodded and said: "I was about to take this girl to the Punishment Department to redeem her merits. She received a lot of reprimands from me last night and was even beaten. Today I should give her some sweet treats."

Xu Zhiqiong returned to the pivot building and ordered someone to call the divine eye craftsman Shen Shuliang.

Shen Shuliang is in his forties, with a thin body and sparse beard and hair. When he talks, his eyes are always looking at the ground, and he has a typical appearance of an honest person.

Xu Zhiqiong poured him a cup of tea. Shen Shuliang was flattered. He held the tea cup in both hands and did not dare to drink it for a long time.

"Shu Liang, how many years have you been with Shenji Division?"

Shen Shuliang said: "It has been twelve years since my father passed away."

"It's been twelve years," Xu Zhiqiong sighed softly. "With your good skills, you have been a craftsman of the divine eye for twelve years. I have really wronged you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuliang quickly shook his head and said: "I am deeply grateful to you for being cultivated by Your Excellency, and I have never had any wrongdoing."

"Don't be afraid," Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "I really want to reuse you."

Shen Shuliang did not dare to answer the call.

According to the rules of the Divine Machinery Division, a craftsman with a divine eye is inherited from father to son. Once he entered the Divine Machinery Division, he would have the same status as a captain, and there would be no possibility of promotion in the future.

Your Excellency said that you should reuse it, but where did you start talking about it?

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "How old is your eldest son this year?"

Shen Shuliang answered truthfully: "I am twenty-one years old this year."

"I have been following you all these years, and I must have learned some real skills."

Shen Shuliang nodded: "Shenyan craftsmen have been passed down from generation to generation, and Quanzi did learn some skills from me."

There is no need to hide this matter, it is the rule in the profession of divine eye craftsmen.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Bring your eldest son to me another day. If he can take over your position, I will make you a general. What do you think?"

Shen Shuliang was stunned for a long time, then kowtowed quickly and said: "Sir, I have neither fame nor cultivation. I really have no wrongdoing."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and smiled: "I'm not testing you. I really love talents. But there is one thing. You must tell me the truth. Where were you last night?"

Shen Shuliang said in surprise: "I was at home last night."

"Since you are at home, why didn't you receive any message from Shen Jiyan?"

Shen Shuliang hurriedly said: "There was no message from the Divine Machine Eye last night. I only received the message halfway today."

"You've been working hard these past two days. Maybe you slept too deeply last night and couldn't feel anything."

"Whether in the yamen or at home, if the divine eye has a message, the subordinates will definitely sense it."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "So, you were not at home last night?"

Shen Shuliang kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, I was at home last night. My wife, children, and servants can all testify!"

From the look of Shen Shuliang, it doesn't look like he is lying, but this matter cannot be arbitrary. The fifth-level cultivators are all outstanding people, and the fifth-level chaos cultivators are even rarer. Even if they lie, it is not easy to see through.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Even if you are not at home, I think you should not miss the message from Shen Jiyan."

Shen Shuliang kowtowed and said: "As long as I am in the capital of the gods, I will be able to sense any message. I have been a craftsman for twelve years and have never made any omissions. Your Majesty, you are aware of this!"

Xu Zhiqiong helped Shen Shuliang up; "I trust you, but I can't worry about Vice-President Lu. A lot of things have happened in the past two days. If Vice-President Lu makes another mistake and the Lord God blames him, I can't bear it. You can take care of me." I'll go to Shenji Pavilion and take a look at the situation of Lord Lu."

Shen Shuliang said: "There is no message from the Divine Machine Eye. There should be no judge causing trouble at this moment, but we can't see the condition of Vice-Chairman Lu either."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Shen Shuliang silently, unable to help himself for a while.

Shen Shuliang was sweating all over his body. He realized that he had talked too much and kowtowed quickly: "I will follow your instructions and go to the Divine Eye Pavilion to prepare."

"I'll go with you."

Along the way, Shen Shuliang was uneasy, and Xu Zhiqiong was obviously suspicious of him.

Arriving at the Divine Eye Pavilion, Xu Zhiqiong opened the Eye of Sin and quietly watched Shen Shuliang's operations.

Shen Shuliang first poured a little Qi into the candlestick.

Xu Zhiqiong watched quietly with the Eyes of Sin Karma. He wanted to estimate the amount of Qi injected by Shen Shuliang.

One point two?

One point and seven?

Two and three?

Xu Zhiqiong felt dizzy. The amount of Qi injected by Shen Shuliang was not much, but Xu Zhiqiong found that this amount of Qi was immeasurable.

The size of the candlestick is immeasurable, and the number of qi machines is immeasurable. Could this be the characteristics of the chaotic and impermanent way?

Xu Zhiqiong memorized every step of his operation, including the position of releasing the Qi machine and the order of lighting the candle.

The waiting god's eyes are embodied on the candlestick, and the eyes are swinging up and down, without showing any human figure.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded, showing his trust in Shen Shuliang, and then ordered Shen Shuliang to withdraw his divine eye.

Shen Shuliang immediately extinguished the candle. The moment the divine machine eye disappeared from the candlestick, Shen Shuliang was stunned for a moment.

He found that the candlestick was slightly different, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Shen Shuliang did not dare to say anything and stood respectfully next to Xu Zhiqiong.

He was scared, he knew something was wrong with the candlestick.

There is something wrong with the candlestick, which means there may be something wrong with the divine machine eye!

He didn't dare to tell the Lord the matter, but he didn't have the guts to keep hiding it.

Looking at Shen Shuliang's various reactions, Xu Zhiqiong concluded that Shen Shuliang had not lied before.

This is a man who can't hide things. If he had lied just now, Xu Zhiqiong would definitely be able to see the flaw.

He did not receive any message from the divine machine eye last night because the divine machine eye failed last night.

The candlestick cannot be equated with the divine machine eye, but there is indeed a close relationship between the two.

Last night, the candlestick was cut off from the stone table, and the divine machine eye lost its sensing ability in a short period of time.

But this morning, the divine machine eye was restored.

Why was it restored?

Because the glue has solidified.

Niu Yuxian once said that at dawn, the glue will solidify.

Yuxian, you are really meticulous in your work.

Let you make a fake candlestick, but it will look so realistic.

Just as easy to use as a real candlestick!

Niu Yuxian was still asleep. He slept until dusk and still didn't wake up.

When Xu Zhiqiong visited him, Tong Qingqiu was giving him medicine.

"Brother Tong, is Yuxian working too hard?"

Tong Qingqiu shook his head and said: "This situation does not look like hard work, but more like a promotion."

"Promotion?" Xu Zhiqiong's eyes widened.

Niu Yuxian has just reached the sixth rank, but now he is about to be promoted?
