Xu Zhiqiong was a kind-hearted person, and Zhou Gongxian was old. Xu Zhiqiong couldn't bear to see him get angry in a hurry, so he quickly took out the bluestone slab for him, and also took out the wooden box inside.
"Is this the eye?"
Zhou Gongxian took a few steps back, trembling, and sat on the ground: "Ma Changshi, I didn't, I didn't mean to lie to you..."
He didn't even know how to defend himself.
Xu Zhiqiong defended him with two sentences:
"Do you think I was tricked by you into going to the seventh floor of Yama Hall? Do you think I waited in your bedroom for half an hour? You are overthinking. I didn't go anywhere and was always following you.
You had the intention to deceive me, but you failed to deceive me. This cannot be considered as you deceived me, just treat it as a joke."
"Ma Changshi is magnanimous and joking, it's all a joke," Zhou Gongxian said a little more calmly, "Ma Changshi, you've got all these things, so let's settle the matter."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "Liangqing."
"Well, in that case, I will resign." Zhou Gongxian wanted to leave tremblingly.
"Back off, the executioners are ready. Once the verdict is written, they will be waiting for you to take the blame."
Zhou Gongxian exclaimed: "Ma Changshi, how can you not keep your word? How can you not abide by the rules? I am now a human being, how can I suffer in the underworld?"
Xu Zhiqiong was very surprised: "When did you return to Yang?"
"I was in the side hall just now. I took the Yang-Returning Pill and got this body..."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Do you think you have a body after taking the Huanyang Pill? You are overthinking it. You really are overthinking it. You have no body and you didn't take the Huanyang Pill, so I just picked it up casually.
I'll give you a stone to eat, it's all a joke."
Zhou Gongxian sat on the ground and kept wailing. He couldn't believe this was true.
Because he didn't know that there was another technique in this world called the Great Goulan Realm.
Xu Zhiqiong took out Zhou Gongxian's horns, put away Zhou Gongxian's soul, and carefully studied the wooden box in the dark room.
There was a heavy mechanism on the box, but Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help it. He used a mandarin duck blade to pick out the mechanism, opened the box, and saw a stone eye.
This is an eye carved out of stone. It is gray-white in color, two inches long and six minutes tall. It is a bit bigger. It is indeed the shape of a human eye, but it makes Xu Zhiqiong feel a little weird.
What's so weird about it?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at it for a while and found that it was a problem of symmetry.
Human eyes are asymmetrical up and down, with obvious differences in lines and curvatures.
This eye is completely symmetrical from top to bottom, and the eyeball is centered, so that when you look at it upside down, it still has its original shape.
What is so special about this eye?
Xu Zhiqiong carefully touched the stone eye.
Hard.
The surface is rough and cold, and it is indeed made of stone.
After looking at the stone eye for a long time, Xu Zhiqiong didn't feel dizzy and didn't see anything special.
Did Zhou Gongxian lie?
Not too possible.
If this eye was really not of such high value, Zhou Gongxian's first choice just now would have been to run away instead of running here and taking the stone eye away.
And Xu Zhiqiong also remembered another thing.
Why did Jiao Yanjun, who had taken the stone eye from him before, only take away one eye? Why didn't he take Zhou Gongxian hostage and take the other eye out of the underworld?
Doesn't he know there is another eye in the vagina?
It shouldn't be.
You Zhengxuan breathed his last and guarded these two eyes, preventing Jiao Yanjun from stealing them, which proved that You Zhengxuan was not a vegetarian either.
He went to You Zhengxuan's land to rob it openly. He must get good news beforehand. He shouldn't even know the number of eyes.
Was he deceived by Zhou Gongxian's tricks?
Is this Jiao Yanjun so stupid? Could he be deceived by Zhou Gongxian?
Is he actually Jiao Liewei?
He came to Qiancheng Yinsi to grab something, but the Ghost Emperor of Qiancheng didn't care?
Why didn't You Zhengxuan give his eyes to Qiancheng Ghost Emperor? Why did he have to give them to his clan brother who was far away in Yu Xianguo?
Why did I think of his brother?
Xu Zhiqiong's thoughts continued to wander, and he suddenly felt a strange energy coming from the wooden box.
The stone-eyed eyeballs moved.
Xu Zhiqiong thought he was dazzled and stared at those eyes for a while.
He felt dizzy, and his gray stone eyes seemed to be slowly moving.
That's right, it's squirming. Not only the eyes are moving, but the upper and lower eyelids are also slowly opening and closing.
Xu Zhiqiong turned the wooden box around and looked at it again. He felt more and more that the eyes looked familiar.
It looks like something, but I can't remember what it is.
The strange Qi movement was constantly fluctuating. Xu Zhiqiong used the power of imagery to slowly calm down the Qi movement and his mind became clearer.
He turned the box ninety degrees and continued to stare into the stone eye.
He saw why this thing looked familiar.
The lines, the contours, the movement of the eyes.
It is very similar to the divine machine eye on the candlestick.
This is the magical eye...
Xu Zhiqiong lightly touched the stone eye, and the originally hard and rough texture became much softer.
Stone Eye's eyes moved again, and it seemed to become very active.
Xu Zhiqiong quickly closed the wooden box and used the yin and yang qi to seal the escaping chaotic energy.
Why is it suddenly so active?
Is it because you sense me?
not necessarily.
The divine machine eyes suddenly became active, and there was no sign of sensing each other before.
Could it be that someone is summoning the divine machine eye?
…
Shenjun Hall, Shenyu Garden, and the carved tower in the back garden.
Divine Lord Hong Juncheng, with his black-clad guard Fu Ji, silently looked at the candlestick that was about to be completed in front of him.
This time, Hong Juncheng used a fourth-grade craftsman with the highest cultivation level in Qiancheng Kingdom.
"Did you smell it?" Hong Juncheng suddenly asked.
Fu Ji shook his head blankly.
Hong Juncheng smiled: "Can't you smell the mysterious energy? This candlestick is about to be completed, and then I want to see how many evil judges there are in Qiancheng."
Fu Ji looked at the candlestick and couldn't help but tremble.
Xu Zhiqiong killed the Tunu envoy and forced Hong Zhenkang to take action.
Hong Zhenkang committed a fatal blow, and Xu Zhiqiong's life and death were uncertain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hong Juncheng could finally restore the Divine Eye Pavilion in a down-to-earth manner.
The stone table has not been completely restored, and the internal layout of the carved building is also somewhat different from that of the stone chamber, but this is not the key.
The key is the candlestick, which is 80% complete.
The Lord Shen looked down at the trembling Fu Ji and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Fu Ji took a breath and said: "I am afraid, the Shenyan Pavilion cannot be restored, and the Lord Shen blames me."
"If the Shenyan Pavilion cannot be repaired, the fault lies with the craftsmen and not you. Why should I blame you?" The Lord Shen gently touched Fu Ji's hair.
Fu Jicheng was really worried that Hong Juncheng would suddenly pull his hair and hit the candlestick.
"But if the Divine Eye Pavilion has been repaired but the Divine Eye cannot be summoned, who should I blame?" Hong Juncheng slowly let go of Fu Ji's hair.
…
Xu Zhiqiong came to Wang'an Hall of Daxuan Yinsi and went to visit Zhong Jianxue.
He needs to figure out a few things.
The first thing is, is there a Yan Jun named Jiao in Daxuan?
When this matter was brought up, Zhong Jianxue was a little sad: "As far as I know, among the ten Yamas in Daxuan, there is no one named Jiao. If we count back to the early years, only Emperor Jiao Liewei and Emperor Jiao once served as Lord of Yama."
Based on this inference, the person who exchanged the inkstone for a stone eye is most likely Jiao Liewei.
Zhong Jianxue said: "The names and surnames of the previous Lords of Yama still need to be checked in the Ghost King's Hall. Now the Ghost King is vacant. Senior Xu Rishu is temporarily living there. I will ask him for advice again in the future."
Xu Zhiqiong asked another question: "What kind of family will the souls of the dead be reborn in in the afterlife? What are the rules in the underworld?"
"This, Brother Ma, you should know that if you have committed more than two inches of crime, as long as you are caught by the judge, you will go to prison and suffer, and you will not be reincarnated."
Why do you say this?
Xu Zhiqiong is the judge. Is there any need to ask about this kind of thing?
Zhong Jianxue answered in a flash.
Is it possible that the Daxuan Yin Division also determines reincarnation based on money?
If this is really the case, Xu Zhiqiong will change this rule!
"Brother Zhong, I'm talking about ordinary people with less than two inches of karma, or evildoers who have not been arrested by the judge. How should they determine reincarnation in the next life?"
"It's hard to say..." Zhong Jianxue hesitated again, which made Xu Zhiqiong very dissatisfied.
"Brother Zhong, for the sake of friendship between you and me, please tell me frankly!"
Zhong Jianxue hesitated for a long time and whispered: "Brother Ma, do you know the sixth-level skills of my Taoist sect?"
The sixth level of Ming Dao is the capital official. Shi Cheng once told Xu Zhiqiong the skills of each level of Ming Dao, but skipped the sixth level skills and did not mention them.
Because Shi Cheng was a capital official himself, he did not want to reveal his skills at that time, and Xu Zhiqiong did not ask.
Zhong Jianxue lowered her voice lower: "The sixth-level skills of my Taoist sect are secrets among secrets and will never be leaked.
Brother Ma is very kind to Zhong. Today, Zhong will make an exception and tell Brother Ma about the Taoist sixth-level skills. I hope Brother Ma will remember this friendship and never tell anyone else."
Xu Zhiqiong agreed and swore an oath in front of Zhong Jianxue.
Zhong Jianxue said: "The official of the Underworld has a "Record Book" in his hand. Does Brother Ma know about it?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I have bought slaves, so I naturally know about it."
"Only sixth-rank officials can record things in the Recording Book. Does Brother Ma know that?"
I really don’t know.
"That is to say, you have to be promoted to the sixth rank or higher before you can write in the Record Book?"
"No." Zhong Jianxue shook his head, "It's not that you're going up to the sixth level, it's that you're only at the sixth level. When the official is promoted to the impermanent envoy, the sixth-level skills will disappear."
Is there such a rule?
Are sixth-level skills only available to sixth-level senses?
"Is this level six skill just about writing in the Record Book?"
Zhong Jianxue still shook her head: "The sixth-level Taoist skill is called the True Word Technique. Those who have won this skill must speak the truth in front of the officials.
The most fearful thing about the Mantra Technique is that the opponent will be on guard. If the opponent uses Qi to resist in advance, the Mantra Technique will not be effective. Therefore, this technique is the secret of our Taoism and will never be leaked to others."
