Xu Zhiqiong went to a large house in the north of the city, entered the underground secret room, put on a snake skin, and took out the stone eye and candlestick from the secret compartment.
Previously, the stone eyes and candlesticks were placed in the Marquis Mansion, and Xu Zhiqiong would change places every few days.
He wanted to confirm one thing: how many cultivators of Chaos and Impermanence there were in Qiancheng Kingdom.
A fierce battle with Yuan Chengfeng is imminent, and the number of chaos cultivators is the key to victory or defeat.
Both Li Shabai and Taibu once said that practitioners of the Chaos and Impermanence Dao are very rare, but when they arrived in Qiancheng Kingdom, Xu Zhiqiong found that they were not that rare. There were already five of them that he had come into contact with.
There are five that can be seen, and how many are invisible?
If these impermanent Taoists were all subordinates of Yuan Chengfeng, and if they all had unique skills like Gao Yingzhong, this battle would be difficult.
Xu Zhiqiong's divine machine eye lit up, holding the stone eye, injecting a piece of imagery power, allowing the divine machine eye to track the chaos cultivators of Qiancheng Kingdom.
As the divine machine eyes flickered, two light spots appeared above the pupils.
Two spots of light?
Fu Ji was drinking in Zhen'an Hall.
Ruan Baoqing arrived at Prince Shu's mansion, kowtowed to Prince Shu first, and then presented him with a generous gift. The guests and hosts chatted for a while, and the banquet started on time at noon.
He described the details of the banquet. After Yuan Chengfeng heard it, he ordered Ruan Baoqing to return to Shenlin City immediately.
But he is certain of one thing.
Liang Xiaoen's soul said to Yuan Chengfeng: "This soul is incomplete."
"Brother Liang, the soul and body you want are here."
Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't say anything about the Holy Ancestor. Let's be honest about the matter now. Like me, you have heard the Holy Ancestor's orders, but you have never seen his true face."
Moreover, this journey was very long, and Ruan Baoqing walked more than three hundred breaths without stopping.
Xu Zhiqiong asked Hong Zhenji to entertain many ministers in the past few days. Hong Zhenji was unambiguous, and the next day he invited Ruan Baoqing, the official minister with whom he had the deepest friendship.
The Chaos Array is different from the Yin-Yang Array. People are in a walking state in the Chaos Array. It seems that they are not walking fast, but the actual speed is amazing. When Fu Ji uses the Array, he can walk through half a god in a dozen breaths.
Lincheng.
Where is he going?
Yuan Chengfeng asked: "How did things go?"
Ruan Baoqing was faster, and he seemed to be taking one step at a time, but the background quickly retreated and was completely blurred. Xu Zhiqiong couldn't tell where he was.
After hovering for several weeks, Liang Xiaoen calmed down, and his spirit stood in front of Yuan Chengfeng and saluted Yuan Chengfeng.
Ruan Baoqing probably thought that Cong Ming's words were not pleasant to listen to, so he deliberately made a sarcastic comment.
“What does it mean to be sincere?”
"I have met the Holy Ancestor." Liang Xiaoen defended himself, but his defense was obviously weak.
Ruan Baoqing said: "Reporting to the prince, Cong Ming is already in the palm of his hand."
Yuan Chengfeng can also avoid the sight of the magical eye.
Liang Xiaoen's voice echoed in the room: "Ruan Baoqing only has a fifth-level cultivation. It would be child's play if you let him deal with Cong Ming."
Ruan Baoqing sighed: "I am eighty-eight years old in my fifties. A person in his late sixties will only have a short time to serve the prince."
This was troublesome. Xu Zhiqiong still couldn't determine how many followers Yuan Chengfeng had.
Liang Xiaoen said: "We are working for the Holy Ancestor!"
Ruan Baoqing walked out of the territory of Qiancheng Kingdom.
Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said: "Although he is a fifth-grade person, when it comes to the skills of mixing light, I am not as good as him."
Ruan Baoqing answered truthfully: "Today's banquet, there are only three guests and hosts."
Yuan Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "I still say the same thing, if you can get the soul from the Holy Ancestor, it will naturally be your destiny, and you won't have to look for Yuan again in the future.
When Xu Zhiqiong first arrived in Qiancheng Kingdom, he saw this man in the Shenjun Hall.
"You want a complete soul?" Yuan Chengfeng chuckled, "There are complete souls in the Shenjun Palace, and there are also in Yuyao Palace. Whether you can get it depends on how sincere you are."
Hong Zhenji still acted cautiously and asked the guards to try the food beforehand.
If it weren't for the inappropriate situation, Hong Zhenji would have really wanted to kick Cong Ming.
After walking for more than ten miles on the wasteland, a palace appeared in front of me.
Yuan Chengfeng said word for word: "Qiancheng Kingdom is mine. From today on, I am the king and you are the minister. This is sincerity."
This is not Fu Ji's fault, but when the god is angry, he often doesn't ask what is right or wrong.
"Traitor, you can't wait to die!"
Xu Zhiqiong unfolded the first light spot first.
After traveling for an entire hour, the two came to a deserted land.
The room fell into silence again.
In the past few days, Hong Juncheng often asked Fu Ji to light up the divine machine eyes, but there was always nothing on the divine machine eyes.
Yuan Chengfeng sneered: "Brother Liang, you didn't let the Holy Ancestor reward you with a soul?"
Yuan Chengfeng quietly came to the backyard of Zhuque Palace. In the yard, there was a big tree standing, with thick aerial roots dancing quietly in the wind.
Cong Ming's condition is not very good, he will soon fall ill.
Yuan Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Did you see anyone special at Prince Shu's Mansion?"
To be polite, you have to praise your talents.
Ruan Baoqing, Minister of Civil Affairs.
Ruan Baoqing understood what Yuan Chengfeng meant. He wanted to ask if he had seen the real King Lu Hong Zhenkang at Prince Shu's Mansion.
He was familiar with this road. He was going to Prince Shu's Mansion.
Just two?
If there are only two of you, don't worry too much.
Yuan Chengfeng smiled: "Brother Liang, don't be angry, it's just a joke, how can you take it seriously?"
Yuan Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and asked: "Brother Liang, the war is coming. I wonder how prepared you are?"
…
A gust of wind blew up, and Liang Xiaoen's soul was like a dragon, hovering around Yuan Chengfeng.
Liang Xiaoen was silent for a long time, as if the words touched a painful spot.
Chaos array?
And these two are not all Yuan Chengfeng's subordinates.
You promised to give me a soul and a body, but if you break your promise, I won't be able to help you when the war comes."
After talking for a while, Ruan Baoqing stood up to say goodbye, and Hong Zhenji ordered someone to see the guests off.
Liang Xiaoen said: "My body and soul are gone, and I only have this bit of soul left. How do you want me to prepare?"
It's not magic, it's distance.
"Brother Yuan, it's better to be cautious. You have failed too many times."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a long time, thinking about the whole story.
After a few dozen breaths, Ruan Baoqing disappeared from the sight of Shen Jiyan.
In the southern border of Tunu Kingdom, there is Weifu City.
Ruan Baoqing came to a house in the east of the city, knelt in the main hall, and kowtowed to Yuan Chengfeng.
Hong Zhenji was startled. Ruan Baoqing's toast was also a bit strange.
Where is he going?
Yuan Chengfeng lit the candles one by one: "Brother Liang, come with me, and we will look for the soul together."
There is a plaque hanging on the palace: Yuanzhou Shrine!
Yuanzhou Shrine is the Suzaku Palace in Yuanzhou in the western border of Daxuan.
It's Fu Ji.
Xu Zhiqiong adjusted his perspective and looked at the direction of the sedan.
What spells did they use?
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and raised his head.
Ruan Baoqing must have gone to see Yuan Chengfeng.
Cong Ming didn't care much: "I also wish you no illness or disaster, and good health."
As the only Qiancheng judge who has never been to the Punishment Department, he lives a life-and-death life next to Hong Juncheng every day. It is rare that Fu Ji can still drink this drink.
I've seen this person before.
There was silence in the room for a long time, and then Liang Xiaoen's voice came: "Brother Yuan, the matter is over, there is no need to ridicule me, how dare I go to see the Holy Ancestor like this?
This was also what Xu Zhiqiong had ordered. He asked Hong Zhenji to try not to leave Cong Ming's sight.
After leaving Prince Shu's Mansion, Ruan Baoqing returned to the Libu Yamen, rested for more than an hour, placed a row of candles in the bedroom, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
You just say that you are fine if you have no disease and no disaster. Why are you talking about so many diseases? This actually sounds unlucky.
Hong Zhenji frowned slightly and asked what kind of person he was.
After changing cups and cups, the three of them ate and drank, talked about old times, listened to music, and enjoyed dancing until dusk.
Cong Ming hurriedly raised his glass: "Your Majesty cherishes your talent in this humble position. It is indeed a blessing to be humble in your humble position."
Yuan Chengfeng has another stronghold outside Qiancheng.
Between the fluttering roots, there was a slight whisper. Yuan Chengfeng had poor perception and could not hear clearly, but Liang Xiaoen could hear it.
When Liang Xiaoen spoke again, his tone became more serious: "Brother Yuan, without my help in this matter, you wouldn't be able to use so many followers. You can't deal with Xu Zhiqiong, and you can't deal with Hong Juncheng, no matter how careful your calculations are. , it’s all in vain after all.”
"Since you can't help me, how can you calculate the credit for Brother Liang?" Yuan Chengfeng's tone was full of contempt.
Liang Xiaoen remained silent. What he heard just now was not a joke, but contempt and ridicule.
Today Hong Zhenji invited only Ruan Baoqing and Cong Ming to accompany him.
Xu Zhiqiong unfolded another light spot and saw a man wearing official robes, sitting in a sedan, swaying on his way.
Ruan Baoqing raised his glass: "With this glass, I wish Cong Shaoqing good health, no wind and cold, no sores, no heart diseases, and no more pain."
Liang Xiaoen couldn't guess Yuan Chengfeng's intention, and Yuan Chengfeng didn't explain any more.
If you want to rely on Yuan to get your soul, you must show sincerity and understand the dignity and etiquette of monarchs and ministers."
"Where are you going?"
"The dominance of Canglong is unique to your Liang family bloodline. If you want to find the soul, you must naturally go to a place with the Liang family."
Later, he was introduced by Hong Zhenji and had two banquets with this man. He was considered to be Hong Zhenji's best friend.
No matter where he went with the chaos magic circle, he could not escape the sight of the divine machine eye. Xu Zhiqiong could even observe the process of him walking in the magic circle through the divine machine eye.
Cong Ming waved his hands repeatedly and said: "My lord, this is ridiculous. As long as you are loyal to the prince, no matter whether you are young or old, the prince will never be picky or disdainful."
Neither he nor Yuan Chengfeng was within the Qiancheng Kingdom, so they escaped the sight of Shen Jiyan.
Is he also a cultivator of the Tao of Impermanence?
This surprised Xu Zhiqiong.
"Cong Shaoqing, you have won the prince's favor, and you really envy Ruan!"
As the banquet came to an end, Ruan Baoqing took out a toast to Cong Ming alone.
Yuan Chengfeng shook his head and said: "I Qiancheng follow the ancient etiquette."
Liang Xiaoen was silent for a moment and lowered his soul.
He knelt down to Yuan Chengfeng.
Yuan Chengfeng was quite satisfied. He spread his arms and released his energy. The branches and leaves of the huge blood tree quickly dissipated.
