Although the tone of this voice was not serious, everyone's expressions still changed.

Cheng Jun also gave up, and Ying Yue and Tang Shichu's faces sank at the same time.

The natal soul lamp is a means of controlling the monk, taking a little of the monk's soul and lighting the lamp to worship, through which you can explore the monk's soul and understand the monk's own situation. In fact, this method is far from being harsh, compared with the Demon Gate Blood Soul Lamp or other bizarre control methods, emphasizing supervision and light control, many sects will light a lamp for their disciples when they first get started.

But handing over your natal soul lamp to others, unless you trust the other party extremely much, you will still be somewhat restrained, especially a behemoth like Dao Palace, who knows what kind of means will be, maybe this natal soul lamp will be lit, and it will be a little bit restrained by your own life.

A few people didn't speak, but Zhang Qinglu smiled and said, "Naturally, it's already ordered." Cheng Jun is the county guard envoy under my Zixiao Palace. According to the rules, there has long been a heart lamp enshrined in the hall. A few of them are also my confidants, how can they not light the natal soul lamp?"

Rao is Cheng Jun knew that Zhang Qinglu was a means to win people's hearts, but he was also moved in an instant, although Zhang Qinglu's words meant that he didn't need them to light the natal soul lamp, it was a trust in them, but more importantly, his unhesitating attitude of protection, especially in the face of the strong pressure of the Shangqing Palace, made this choice almost without weighing it, which is really moving.

Although Cheng Jun didn't show a different color, the mood fluctuations of Ying Yue and Tang Shichu on the opposite side were unconsciously exposed, but fortunately, they were also alert, bowed their heads slightly, and hid their expressions in the shadows, otherwise they might push Zhang Yanxu into the abyss this time.

The envoy nodded and said, "Okay, it's really thorough." Their mission is very important, and the natal soul lamp is also included in the Shangqing Palace. ”

This time, even Zhang Qinglu changed color slightly, so there is no need for others to say it. In the hearts of Ying Yue and Tang Shichu, if Zhang Qinglu asked them to ask for the natal soul lamp, although they were also a little guilty, most of them would still be willing to light it, after all, so many years of trust is not ordinary. But it would be another matter to hand over his natal soul lamp to Shangqing Palace, a behemoth that was far away in the sky and had no foundation for trust at all.

The request of the Shangqing Palace is tantamount to a sideways kill, directly seizing control of this matter, which is not only arrogant, but also too abrupt, so that people have no time to react at all. Not only Cheng Jun and the three of them were restrained, but Zixiao Palace all felt like they were slapped in the face.

After a period of silence, Zhang Qinglu said: "Envoy, they are all nobodies, and their actions are just petty fights, and they have nothing to do with the plans of the Shangqing Palace. Zixiao Palace can be fully responsible for their behavior, and if there is anything wrong, Zhang Qinglu is willing to take responsibility. ”

The envoy said lightly, "I know. There are thousands of soul lamps in my Dao Palace, and they are not missing a single one. However, rules are rules, and it doesn't matter if you do this great thing, and you have to hand over a clear proof. Qinglu Zhenren insisted on blocking it, and this seat couldn't see where the reason was. As he spoke, he slowly got up, his eyes turned to everyone's faces, and then turned to stare at Zhang Qinglu.

When his eyes were on Cheng Jun's face, Cheng Jun only felt a chill in his heart, and a chill from head to toe instantly enveloped him, and his spirit shifted for a moment. But it was only for a moment, and the envoy's gaze quickly looked away.

This time is different from the last time, the last time it was purely a habitual surname, but this time the gaze has a substantive effect.

What kind of mind Cheng Jun has, when the person's gaze swept over just now, he didn't even have any resistance, allowing him to scan his soul, with the current realm gap between the two, this is the wisest choice. When he looked away, Cheng Jun recovered as quickly as possible, and the spiritual pressure just now was only as if he didn't exist - the wind was crossing, and the grass and trees were dormant. The grass that falls down the fastest is often the grass that recovers the fastest.

He had already measured it in his heart - although this person was powerful, he was not yet the Yuan Shen Shenjun, this was determined by the way he released his divine sense, and this person was in the Shangqing Palace, and his status was only like that.

But that's right, if there is a Yuan God Divine Monarch in Zixiao Palace, I'm afraid that the battle just now is not enough.

The envoy's gaze quickly swept over the three of them, and when he saw that they were as silent as cicadas, he was satisfied, and no longer paid attention to them, staring straight at Zhang Qinglu.

Cheng Jun and the three of them did not face the pressure of the envoy, but they could also see that Zhang Qinglu was under considerable pressure under the pressure of the envoy. I saw that the beads of sweat were dripping from the corners of his forehead, and although his expression remained stable on the surface, the corners and cuffs of the Xuanjin robe on his body were trembling slightly.

The envoy stared at Zhang Qinglu and said in a very light tone: "Who is this seat coming all the way to Zixiao Palace for? But I asked you to make a request, and you pushed back like this. Hmph, is this a request? Don't say that I want their natal soul lamp, which is your own natal soul lamp, shouldn't you light one in my Shangqing Palace? If you don't give it to them, then that's fine, then you ...... it yourself."

When Cheng Jun heard this, he suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Envoy Qiqi-"

The envoy suddenly turned his head, his eyes stared, Cheng Jun only felt that the pressure increased sharply, and he couldn't say a word, Tang Shichu had already taken a step forward and shouted: "I'm willing to light this natal soul lamp." ”

The envoy glanced at Ying Yue, and Ying Yue said lightly: "Since the envoy needs our natal soul lamp so much, the order of the Shangqing Palace is our will, why is it difficult?"

The envoy's eyes narrowed slightly, the pressure was relaxed, and he said lightly: "You are more sensible than him." ”

Zhang Qinglu's body shook slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, the sad color flashed away, he didn't say anything more, and said slowly: "Envoy - please come here." ”

Only this envoy talks about cultivation, and there is no opponent in the Shangqing Palace, not to mention that there is the Shangqing Palace behind him. Under the pressure of the Shangqing Palace, even Zhang Qinglu himself had to give in, not to mention others? The situation is like this, and no one can change it.

Cheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he was not a strong person, but he had to come forward and say that sentence just now. Because if he didn't speak and let the envoy finish his words, Zhang Qinglu would be forced to choose between the three of them and himself. This is enough to make the layout of the new palace lord full of ambition flawed in an instant. Whether he is forced to agree to let a few other people light the natal soul lamp, or to carry it to the end, he must pay a great price, which is not what Cheng Jun, a person who wants to take advantage of the plan, wants to see. So he had to step up and take the pressure.

However, when it came to the end, he still took a step back, closed his mouth at the right time under heavy pressure, and did not say everything he wanted, letting Tang Shichu say the most critical content, and Ying Yue also had to express his position, which is equivalent to becoming the common meaning of the three of them, it is better than him to exit alone and put the three of them together to cause complaints.

Even if you know that it is an unchangeable result, if someone rushes forward to take the next step, it will also provoke resentment.

Of course, the most important reason is that he has no fear. When the envoy spoke just now, Cheng Jun was a little strange, not that he wanted his own natal soul lamp, but that it was strange - it turned out that he didn't need to light the natal soul lamp to do things for Zixiao Palace?

He didn't know much about Zixiao Palace, after all, when he was weak, Zixiao Palace was basically broken. But for the Shangqing Palace, this place that has always been a behemoth in later generations is very detailed, and I know what kind of surname they are. In his memory, the Shangqing Palace was extremely strict with the disciples under his disciples, and lighting the natal soul lamp was the minimum.

Therefore, he was well prepared to light the natal soul lamp - sufficient preparation for cheating. So for him, there is no pressure at all to order the natal soul lamp, because he was originally prepared to light it, at most, Tang Shichu and Yingyue were unlucky - but what does this have to do with him?

Cheng Jun can see that the reason why Tang Shichu and Yingyue opened their mouths in person and chose to light the natal soul lamp was forced by the situation on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also for Zhang Qinglu's consideration, and they were willing to share his pressure and offer the natal soul lamp - not to mention the original love between the two of them and Zhang Qinglu, even if Zhang Qinglu was sheltered just now, it was worth them to come forward and repay this kindness. Even Cheng Jun was a little moved by Zhang Qinglu's behavior, how could the two of them not be moved?

This is the best result for Cheng Jun and Zhang Qinglu.

Zhang Qinglu led a few people around the back hall and came to a palace. The plaque on the top of the temple had three large golden characters written - "Burning Soul Palace".

I saw that in a large hall, thousands of candles were densely lit, and the light and shadow were seen from afar, like stars. In the golden-red flame of the candles, there are dotted silver-white lights, and the lights are bright, and the candles complement each other, building a dreamlike wonder.

Cheng Jun silently counted the lights in the candle light in his heart, but there were only hundreds. It seems that Zixiao Palace really does not have the tradition of lighting natal soul lamps, and the monks under its rule are afraid that there are not thousands of people, but there are only a few hundreds of natal soul lamps, if it is not for so many candles to support the scene, I am afraid that this hall will look shabby.

The envoy glanced at the main hall, and naturally noticed the situation, frowned slightly, and said: "Zixiao Palace is a big deal, does this mean that your own country is as stable as Mount Tai? Hmph, in the end, he is young and naïve. Today, I will teach you. Come on, light the natal soul lamp to this seat. ”

Zhang Qinglu was silent, slowly clapped his hands, the door of the main hall creaked shut, there were only a few of them in the hall, under the surrounding faint firelight, even the shadow could not shine, everyone's expressions were uncertain, and they seemed to be thoughtful.

Zhang Qinglu flicked his sleeves, and several delicate lampstands flew over from the top case.

The shape of the lampstand is no different from that of ordinary oil lamps, not at all inconspicuous, but the material is made of a silver-white metal, and the whole body emits a dense light, which seems to have an attractive charm. In the center of the lamp, there is a short wick, which is woven with soul-attracting silk, which is enough to carry the power of the soul.

Zhang Qinglu said lightly: "Have you thought about it? This natal soul lamp is to be enshrined in Shangqing Palace, and it has nothing to do with my Zixiao Palace." ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Cheng Jun's pressure was the lightest, and he said softly: "I'll come first." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took an oil lamp. Anyway, when he can get cheap and sell well, he will never let it go.

Zhang Qinglu stared at Cheng Jun, his eyes were gloomy, and he nodded.

Cheng Jun smiled slightly, a little in his hand, and stretched out a finger.

This is the middle finger, which is the finger where his soul refining array is located.

The natal soul lamp is like the blood oath of the heart demon, it is a common thing in the cultivation world, almost iron, and cannot be offended. But even the Heavenly Dao has people who go retrograde, not to mention Tie Zhi? Cheng Jun's cultivation is still too low, and there are not many means that he can use, but since he has already prepared, then there will definitely be a way.

Since it is a natal soul lamp, it is natural to use the soul as a guide, and its own soul can be lit, and other souls can naturally be used, but if you want people to believe that it is your own soul, you must use special means. In front of everyone's eyes, if you dare to take such a risk, except for Cheng Jun, who has a fingertip array that can extract soul power at any time, there is no one else.

It is precisely because this natal soul lamp is simple to ignite and almost an iron law that no one thought that he could cheat like this, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so public, no one can doubt him.

I saw Cheng Jun's fingers light up slightly, and a snow-white soul fell into the lamp. Suddenly, a silver-white fire was lit, and a lamp like a bean was already flickering brightly and darkly.

It's so simple, but the trick is to get the right score. The most important thing is the soul, how much is Cheng Jun's soul power, what kind of caste is it, and the envoy already knows that the ** is not far from ten - when he looked at everyone just now, he had already weighed it. Although it was only for a moment, his cultivation was far above everyone, so he naturally knew it.

The soul that Cheng Jun released just now was released in strict accordance with his own surname and strength, and it was released from his fingertips in an instant, and it matched so much, if people didn't believe that it was his soul, it would be difficult.

This is also because he had prepared in advance, and he had already hidden a little specially refined soul in his fingertips, and even a memory had already been inserted into that soul, which was closely aligned with his own identity, even if the envoy personally investigated, it was difficult to see the flaws for a while. After refining, he just lodged that little bit of soul in the soul refining array. Otherwise, if you really pull out the original soul in the soul refining array directly, it will be swarthy and has no surname, and everyone can see that something is wrong.

After Cheng Jun lit it, he got up and stepped back, his expression was light, and no one could see what he was thinking.

Since he started, Ying Yue and Tang Shichu naturally couldn't shirk it, and stepped forward one by one to light up the natal soul lamp.

Zhang Qinglu put away the three soul lamps and placed them side by side on the tray. Then he bent down and touched another soul lamp with his fingertips, and with a bang, a light lit up, and another natal soul lamp had been lit.
