Ouyang Rong bid farewell to Xiuzhen and dug out the well entrance of the Pure Land Palace.
I don't know why, but there is a mysterious feeling flowing in my heart.
He lowered his head and looked down. The sword box in his arms trembled slightly. A certain tripod sword seemed to be about to come out.
He just said that the little guy was "home" and couldn't wait to come out to play. Ouyang Rong didn't care about it for the time being. It was just like raising a cat and he couldn't be spoiled.
Seize the time and prepare to go to the Mahavira Hall where the ritual is being held.
However, there is still something to do before going over.
Not long after Ouyang Rong walked out of Beitian Nursing Home, he silently turned into a newly built hall.
It was the Sutra Copying Hall where the Buddha's body was originally hidden, but it was renovated after it collapsed in the battle between Ouyang Rong and Qiu Shenji.
The Buddhist temple is brand new and the big Buddha has been recast. It is not open yet.
Ouyang Rong walked into the hall as if there was no one around. Following the information in the previous secret letter, he dug out a dust-free baggage in the dark corner behind the Buddha statue.
It is different from other objects in the hall that have fallen a layer of dust, as if someone had placed it here newly.
Ouyang Rong looked unsurprised and opened the baggage.
Four things.
A sapphire blue Confucian shirt, a bulging sheepskin water bag, a customs clearance guide including ferry tickets, and a small purse.
Picking up the small purse, tossing it around and weighing it, he opened it and took a look.
Raise your eyebrows slightly.
Ten taels of broken silver, a bit dirty.
But it was "clean" silver that was randomly exchanged at different times and locations in the bustling market of Tanlangdu today.
Tanlangdu, Zheyi Canal, has a large flow of people, merchants and frequent transactions.
Silver goes through hundreds of hands in one day.
It's full of "copper smell" and it's hard to trace your personal scent.
This is as "clean" as the ID guide and the ticket of a certain passenger ship that will check in and leave tomorrow morning.
Even if it falls into the hands of some female Sitianjian officials afterwards, it will be difficult to trace it back... We still have to pay attention to the details.
Ouyang Rong nodded.
In the silent hall, Mo Mo put on a royal blue Confucian shirt.
He put the small purse and the new identity and the ferry ticket into his sleeve one by one.
Uncle Yan's thoughtfulness made Ouyang Ronggao take a look.
The current Longcheng County Lieutenant is Yan Liulang's father. He was a veteran detective and was once a well-known detective expert in several surrounding counties. Previously, when Ouyang Rong was in power in Longcheng, he had been recuperating at home, and Yan Liulang acted as the County Lieutenant.
Ouyang Rong did not ask what illness Uncle Yan was recovering from at that time.
However, considering that the Liu family, a local snake, was powerful at the time, Ouyang Rong was the new county magistrate, and when Lengtou Qingyuan took office for the first time, the experienced old county captain may have felt something bad and vaguely smelled something.
After Ouyang Rong "accidentally" fell into the water and fell into coma, the old county captain had been taking sick leave and asked his only son Yan Liulang to take over his duties.
The original intention may have been that Rokuro was not familiar with affairs and would take a temporary job to fish, so that the family would try not to get involved in the "scholar versus bully" fight between gods and immortals.
As for whether the old county captain expected that the stupid young Yan Liulang would be subtly infected by Ouyang Rong's style, he not only performed his duties conscientiously, but even took the lead in the charge, further offending the Liu family... it is unknown.
Yan Liulang probably didn't know about his father's old-fashioned thoughts at the beginning, and Ouyang Rong didn't know anything about it.
After all, he has no right to ask others to follow him desperately. To a certain extent, to wait and see neutrally is to favor him who is unfamiliar with the place.
However, the subsequent results clearly proved that Yan Liulang was not with the wrong person.
Not only did he follow Ouyang Rong to his post, he was promoted to Jiangzhou Judiciary and joined the army, and became his father's immediate boss. He was even lucky enough to get to know Prince Xunyang, who is currently in Jiangzhou Biejieli Fusu.
The grown-up boy of my family has been immersed in studying regardless of opposition, and it turns out that stupid people are blessed with lots of money.
I guess the old county lieutenant was confused.
Before and after the incident in Dragon City, the old county lieutenant silently helped, tried his best to finish things off, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and deal with those difficult female officials. It may be that he was trying to make up for his guilt after seeing things wrong.
Ouyang Rong and the old county captain tacitly understood some things, and Yan Liulang in the middle was quite happy. After all, his father could help, and at least he recognized the cause he wanted to do with the Ming Dynasty. In his father's heart, he was no longer the same as before.
Such an idle young man.
In the baggage, there was actually a small note, which was not included in the original plan.
Ouyang Rong lit a solitary lamp, looked at it closely, and then burned it after reading it.
The paper contained quite detailed information about Li Li and his party at the Main Hall, as well as the staffing and so on. It also mentioned that a female official from Jiangzhou came to investigate the case.
Although Ouyang Rong already knew these things, he confirmed it again and accepted the favor silently.
The next moment.
The light in front of Ouyang Rong went out.
He placed the slightly trembling piano-shaped sword case on the table.
He took out a pill box from his arms and poured a round dark green pill into the palm of his hand.
Ouyang Rong picked up the sheepskin water bag on the table, opened it, and prepared to drink it.
This is the last step before going to the Main Hall.
It has been calculated before that the surging spiritual energy provided by a top-quality qi-replenishing elixir "Mo Jiao", when properly arranged, can break through the body-protecting true qi of four sixth-grade qi practitioners, and kill them. What's more, tonight is just a matter of killing.
One sixth-grade Qi practitioner and three seventh-grade Qi practitioners, the latter are considered as bonuses.
However, you have to pay more attention to the way you deploy the sword.
The spiritual energy provided by the Qi-boosting elixir was more than enough. Ouyang Rong didn't feel it was a pity to waste it. It was better to be cautious. If the arrangement failed, at least some spiritual energy should be left to escape.
Otherwise, without using the qi-replenishing elixir and the merit purple mist at the bottom of the box, Ouyang Rong's spiritual energy reserves as an eighth-level sword wielder alone would only be enough to kill a sixth-level qi refiner.
Moreover, after breaking through the opponent's body-protecting spiritual energy, after chopping melons and vegetables, there will be no spiritual energy left to escape.
What I said before in front of my little junior sister, calmly pretending to be cool, is right, but after one sword strike with all my strength, I have to stop and laugh to death.
Clear away distracting thoughts.
Ouyang Rong raised his head, took a sip of water, and took the elixir.
Suddenly, his movements stopped.
He frowned and looked at the piano case, then turned to look at the Buddhist temples on the left and right.
The main hall was quiet and no one was there. The mysterious feeling when I just left the underground palace was slightly amplified by the quiet environment.
The body of the piano case on the table trembled slightly.
"What's wrong with you..." I asked helplessly.
In the empty main hall, in front of the Ci Mei Buddha, a young man in a Confucian shirt hesitated for a moment.
Put down the hand holding the pill.
He tried to open the sword case.
In an instant, "an arc" slipped out of the gap in the sword box and flew into the sky.
The clear blue light illuminated Ouyang Rong's face for a moment.
Looking up, I saw a blue arc suspended in the sky above the hall, spinning rapidly, creating a cyclone and stirring up the cigarettes in the hall.
At the same time, accompanied by waves of inexplicable tremors, the blue sword energy bloomed wantonly, and the light spread all over the hall.
After sensing it with the sword master's mind, Ouyang Rong frowned, a little surprised.
He was not surprised by the little guy's excitement.
But I am surprised...it is swallowing up the vast incense accumulated in Dagushan in the past hundred years!
Like a long whale swallowing the sea.
…
Main Hall, back hall.
Li Li and his party, who walked into the morgue in the back hall without even offering incense, had different expressions at this moment.
From the main hall ahead, the faint sound of Shandao and other monks chanting sutras could be heard.
However, few people in the hall paid attention, and all their attention was focused on the Persian businessman who was speaking in a low voice.
"It's actually a new sword!"
The frivolous Taoist priest was very surprised: "Doesn't it mean that a new sword formula has been published, and the sword wielder can reach a higher level with his unique pulse?"
Li Li nodded solemnly and looked around at everyone in the lobby.
There are some detailed information that was not convenient to share on the road before, but now that we are at the destination, we must reveal some details to alert everyone.
The young Taoist priest restrained his frivolous expression.
For the top Qi practitioners on the mountain, a new sword formula is sometimes as important as a mythical tripod sword.
Because the new sword formula really raises the upper limit, for the established forces, what matters is an orderly inheritance, so there is enough time to collect the sword formula and wait patiently.
As for an individual, that is, for a wild sword wielder, time is limited. Of course, the tripod sword is the most important. Sword tactics and other things are pieced together here and there, and there is no chance of gathering them all. New sword tactics, old swords, etc. do not matter.
As long as it can help the broken products.
The frivolous Taoist priest said curiously:
"I thought it was an old legendary tripod sword before, but it turns out it's new, and there are still sword techniques and tripod sword magical powers that haven't been released yet. No wonder you Wei family didn't dare to retrieve it in a big way, and revealed to us that the sword holder wants to
To deal with it, everyone hesitated."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but asked curiously:
"But with such a magical weapon, how did your Wei family fall into the hands of the enemy? Wasn't it still in the hands of the sixth young master of some prince's palace before?"
Li Li was in a bad mood and said bitterly:
"The Sixth Young Master before was a fake! Looking at it now, the Sixth Young Master may have suffered an accident a long time ago, as well as Mr. Qiu. Although I don't know how the other party did it, it is probably related to the Xunyang Prince's Palace and Ouyang Lianghan!
"As for the method he used to impersonate the Sixth Young Master, I have seen one of them. It was an overseas magician who was once worshiped by the Liu family in Longcheng County. This person later fell into the hands of Ouyang Lianghan and the county government. This method may be
They got it and used it to fool us.
"Now the news has been spread to the palace. When King Wei knows about the murder of the Sixth Young Master, I can't afford to just walk around in circles. I have to raise my head to see him.
"Now that you have committed a serious crime, you will die anyway, so why not work hard to find out the murderer, snatch back the tripod sword, and make up for the crime. This is why I brought you all to take the risk to come here."
"How can Boss Li be sure that someone is waiting for you?"
Li Li squinted:
"It's very simple. If you dare to kill people with a tripod sword, you still don't deal with the body after such a long time. Why are you waiting for us to come? Ouyang Lianghan can't be so stupid."
The frivolous Taoist priest shook his head and pointed at Zhao Rushi's body:
"Not necessarily. There is no sword energy left on the corpse. This tripod sword is not simple. Not to mention that he was killed by the tripod sword. We didn't even notice it. I guess the old bald donkey didn't notice it either. Hey, do you think it was true?"
Miyin Tutuo looked at the dead body with a dull expression.
Frivolous Taoist priest: "So this person uses the tripod sword to kill people, and he is not afraid of being exposed."
Li Li shook his head:
"But I can see it! The person who can kill people in public in broad daylight without leaving a trace is most likely the Mythical Flying Sword. Flying with the sword is the privilege of the Mythical Cauldron Sword. The higher the cultivation level, the more spiritual energy.
The more there are, the greater the scope, and you can even take someone's head thousands of miles away... Otherwise, how can a normal swordsman throw away his sword and take someone's head in the middle of the city?
"But it's normal that no one has seen it. After all, it is a mythical thing. Even the female officer Caichang who is investigating the case probably wouldn't think of it here at the moment. But I know that there is a tripod sword in Prince Xunyang's palace. This matter is not clear at a glance. Ouyang Lianghan may also
I know, I know,
"I can't say, the other party is just sure I can be suspicious and will come to investigate and try to set up a trap!"
"Otherwise, according to the arrangement, Longcheng County is controlled by people from the Xunyang Prince's Palace. It is logically impossible to miss this, so this is the only possibility. Anyway, this corpse decapitated by the Ding Sword is always a loophole.
Even if there is no sword energy left, it is still a mistake.
"Even if I'm over-worrying, it doesn't matter. I just happened to take the body and leave. Let's wait tonight."
Miyin Tutuo said without blinking:
"Amitabha, the poor monk saw the sixth young master from a distance. When he left, he observed that the aura he released using his spiritual energy should have been the light blue ninth grade at that time."
The frivolous Taoist priest nodded, a little excited:
"How dare a ninth-level sword wielder dare to jump like this? And even if he is an eighth-level or even seventh-level swordsman, so what? We have to be reminded to be on guard. It depends on how he deploys his sword to kill people. He is really a child wielding gold.
In front of people.
"You need to know what tricks a low-level sword wielder can do."
Li Li nodded and warned seriously:
"That's right, be careful of his tricks. If the previous information is correct, this person killed the Sixth Young Master, and the sword technique used to cut off Hu Zou was Han Shi's "Return to Come". The palace has recorded the process of deploying this magic sword.
, if there is any abnormality, leave the range of the cloth sword.
"It needs to be hung over the enemy's head and covered with sword light to make them fall down.
"When I was in Dragon City, I saw the tripod sword displayed by the fake Sixth Young Master. The appearance of the workmanship is very clear. I have ordered the painter to draw it. Take a look and remember this sword. Remember to look at the top of your head when you bring it back."
"Artisan's work? This real name is interesting." The frivolous Taoist priest nodded with interest on his face: "Why is it an 'arc'? What does it look like?"
"Actually, there is also the Sword Art of Immortality Medicine. I am actually not sure whether what he said about Yunmengze Sword Art, pretending to be the Sixth Young Master, is a lie or half-truth.
"But if, as the master said, there were only nine levels at the beginning, then it seems that the new sword technique has not been learned yet. This is good news."
"good!"
The Xianbei man suddenly asked: "What if the opponent comes not only with a sword holder, but also with back-ups? For example, some sword guards."
"Not to mention that Prince Xunyang's palace has just resurrected, so there are no sword guards. Even if they are asked to win over the illustrious Shangzong, they would not dare. If the matter of the new tripod sword is exposed, not to mention the fight between various families, at least the current Sage,
It is necessary to make Li Xian hand him over, and he must be dissatisfied with hiding him before.
"The nature of making a confession yourself and being forced to make a confession are completely different. Since King Xunyang chose to conceal the New Cauldron Sword before, he has selfish motives!"
The frivolous Taoist priest Long Xiu was curious: "So why didn't King Xunyang take the initiative to offer the Tripod Sword to win the emperor's favor? Maybe he could return to the capital directly and win the throne of the emperor."
"Who knows, after all, there are many greedy people. After all, it is the Cauldron Sword. Who is willing to let it go? This matter is one step wrong and one step wrong, so we can only hide it. Maybe, if we can't get the Cauldron Sword tonight, next time
As a last resort, we can also bring Zhao Rushi's body back and hand it over to Si Tianjian, and warn the Prince of Xunyang that he is harboring the New Tripod Sword, and His Majesty will definitely be dissatisfied."
Li Li sneered: "As for tonight, what if he has a backup plan? Don't we have any?"
Except for the Miyin Tutuo who closed his eyes and chanted sutras.
The frivolous Taoist priest and the Xianbei man couldn't help looking at each other.
