No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 400 Also eats the fragrance of the world

After finishing a lot of talking almost to myself.

Ouyang Rong said goodbye 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 glanced 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 rituals are being held.

Before that passes, though, there's a little more to do.

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 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 was different from the other objects in the hall that had fallen a layer of dust, as if it had been placed here newly.

Ouyang Rong looked unsurprised and opened the bag.

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.

He raised his 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 is full of "copper smell" and it is difficult to trace the personal atmosphere.

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 Si Tianjian 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 captain is Yan Liulang's father. He was an old policeman 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 captain.

Ouyang Rong did not ask what illness Uncle Yan was recovering from at that time.

However, given the strong influence of the Liu family, Ouyang Rong, as the new county magistrate, and Lengtou Qingyuan, who took office for the first time, may have given the experienced old county captain something bad to smell.

After Ouyang Rong "accidentally" fell into the water and fell into coma, the old county captain had been sick and asked for leave, leaving his only son Yan Liulang to take charge of his duties.

The original intention may be that Rokuro is unfamiliar with affairs and takes a temporary job to fish, and the family tries not to get involved in the fairy fight of "scholar versus bully".

As for whether the old county lieutenant expected that the stupid Yan Liulang would be subtly infected by Ouyang Rong's style, he not only performed his duties diligently, but even took the lead in the charge, further offending the Liu family... This 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 meet the prince of Xunyang, the current Jiangzhou Biejieli Fusu.

This big boy of my own has been immersed in studying regardless of opposition, and it turns out that stupid people have stupid blessings, and they are full of money.

I guess the old county lieutenant was confused.

Before and after the Dragon City Incident, the old county lieutenant silently helped, tried his best to wrap things up, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and deal with those difficult female officials. It may be that he was trying to make amends for his mistakes.

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 fool.

In the baggage, there was actually a small note, which was outside the original plan.

Ouyang Rong lit a solitary lamp, took a closer look, 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 and opened it, ready 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. What's more, tonight only kills 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-tonifying elixir was more than enough. Ouyang Rong did not 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-boosting elixir and the merit purple mist at the bottom of the box, Ouyang Rong's spiritual energy reserve 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 is 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 hard strike, I have to stop being cool and laugh to death.

Clear away distracting thoughts.

Ouyang Rong raised his head and took a sip of water before taking the pill.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

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.

The hand holding the elixir was lowered.

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, rear 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.

Some detailed information was inconvenient 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 no less important than 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 individuals, that is, as far as wild sword holders are concerned, 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 may not be a chance to collect them all. New sword tactics and old swords do not matter. As long as it can help broken products.

The frivolous Taoist priest said curiously:

"I thought it was an old legendary tripod sword before, but it turned out to be new, and there are still sword techniques and tripod sword magical powers that have not yet been released. No wonder you Wei family did not 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 by which he can impersonate the Sixth Young Master, I have seen one. 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 They got it and used it to fool us.

"Now the news has been sent to the palace. When King Wei knows about the murder of the Sixth Young Master, I can't afford to walk around in circles, so I have to raise my head to see him.

"Now that I have committed a serious crime, I will die anyway, so I might as well work hard to find out the murderer, get back the tripod sword, and make up for the crime. This is why I brought you all to take the risk here."

"How can Mr. Li be sure that someone is waiting for you?"

Li Li squinted:

"It's very simple. He dared to kill someone with a tripod sword. He didn't dispose of the body even after such a long time. Why did he wait 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. Even if it was killed by the tripod sword, we didn't notice it. I guess the old bald donkey didn't notice it either. Hey, do you think so?"

Miyin Tutuo looked at the dead body with a dull expression.

The frivolous Taoist priest said: "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 from a thousand 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 sees it. After all, it's a mythical thing. Even the female official 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 want 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 want to take the body away and 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:

"A ninth-level sword wielder dares to jump like this? And even if he is an eighth-level, or even seventh-level, 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. , and 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.

"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, his face full of interest: "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 the Yunmengze Sword Art, pretending to be the Sixth Young Master, was 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. That's good news."

"it is 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 emperor, they would not dare. If the matter of the new tripod sword is exposed, not to mention the competition among various families, at least the current emperor will, He had to let Li Xian hand him over, and he was even 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 tell Prince Xunyang that he is harboring the New Cauldron Sword, and His Majesty will definitely be dissatisfied."

Li Li sneered: "As for tonight, so 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 but look at each other.
