"Rokuro."

"Humble duty!"

"After Liu Zilin and I leave later, you can protect Ah Qing.

"Look over there, through this wood, a hundred and twenty steps north, you can see a deserted pavilion, and there is a clearing behind the pavilion, where Qiu Shenji had restrained me and the other brothers.

"The brothers who were imprisoned in the cave, the burning shark oil, and the little junior sister's skirt knife are all left there, and you will go over to save people and get things later."

"Mingfu, let's not go, just follow behind and find a chance to rescue you! I've already sent someone to contact Master Xie......"

"No need, don't come along, Liu Zilin is now a frightened bird, you follow up, it will only make him more suspicious, but drag me down.

"Rokuro, let's do something for me at the end."

"Mingfu, don't talk like that, you're afraid of being humble...... What's up? ”

"Give the skirt knife to the little junior sister for me, and then give me another sentence......

"Just say, I'm sorry, I'm a senior brother, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise again, I just promised her today, and I will never say goodbye again, heh."

……

The official boat that Ouyang Rong, Liu Zilin, and a group of Tsing Yi slaves were on was provided by Yan Liulang and others.

Take the waterway, go down the river from the Butterfly Creek, and soon arrive at Songlingdu, not far from Dagu Mountain.

About an hour later.

Dagu Mountain, a remote mountain road.

Liu Zilin and the family slaves in Tsing Yi escorted Ouyang Rong, who was willing to be a hostage.

Everyone carefully stepped on the moss-covered bluestone slabs under their feet, and climbed the mountain step by step.

Right now, wolf smoke is rising in the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek, the Di Gong Gate will collapse at any time, and the water will come at any time.

The people of Dragon City all gathered in the refuge camp of Dagu Mountain.

As if to avoid these people in Dragon City, Liu Zilin deliberately picked an inaccessible path to go up the mountain, and cautiously went to the underground palace of a certain temple pointed out by Ouyang Rong.

Liu Sanshao's expression was so uncomfortable, should he ...... Wei Shaoxuan, they also came to Dagu Mountain, right? ”

Ouyang Rong suddenly chuckled.

Liu Zilin's frequent back stiffened slightly, and he turned around and said:

"Ouyang Lianghan, you just want to die like that? Want Wei Shaoxuan to kill you? ”

"Aren't they all the same? In the hands of both of you. Ouyang Rong nodded and said.

"Hmph."

Liu Zilin turned his head back to the right, squinted his eyes and said:

"As long as you take out the real pretending to be false and hand it to me, and get the Ding Sword, I will naturally let you go, and when the time comes, you take your sunshine path, and I will cross my single-plank bridge."

"Okay." Ouyang Rong smiled.

Liu Zilin also smiled.

Ouyang Rong's gaze withdrew from the rope that tied his hands and the Tsing Yi slaves who surrounded him left and right.

Silently felt the meridians of the lower dantian, trying to mobilize the aura, obviously the aura can circulate, but the limbs are still empty and weak.

For his ability to shrink bones, Liu Zilin had a heart, and after exchanging hostages, he immediately sniffed a strange fragrance of cartilage for him, and paralyzed his limbs.

Although the aura in the body can operate as usual, the aura of a low-grade qi practitioner cannot leave the body, and it can be regarded as a temporary loss of mobility.

Thinking about it carefully, Ouyang Rong always felt that the effect of this strange fragrance was not serious, could it be for flower thieves?

Ouyang Rong was speechless.

Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the Donglin Temple on the top of the mountain.

He suddenly asked:

"Liu Zilin, in fact, I've been curious since just now, how are you sure that there is no sword in the sword box that the old-timers gave to Wei Shaoxuan?"

Liu Zilin was silent for a while, and sneered:

"The old gentleman will not take the initiative to help the Wei family get the sword, on the contrary, he will use the hand of the Wei family to destroy our Liu family.

"The reason is very simple, as long as Wei takes away the sword box, and finally finds that there is no sword in the box, and the bamboo basket is empty.

"That will inevitably anger the Liu family, in this way, I, the third child of the Liu family who survived, will also die without a place to be buried, the old gentleman This is a sword and two eagles.

"When he was alive, he witnessed the three brothers of our Liu family fratricidal brotherhood, and after his death, someone also cleaned up the Liu family for him, hahahaha, our Liu family will bury him."

Ouyang Rong was curious: "What are you doing to make this old-timer hold such a grudge?" ”

Liu Zilin didn't answer, and said to himself:

"And when Wei Shaoxuan left with the Mo family's sword box, the eldest lady of Yunmeng Jianze didn't have the slightest intention of stopping her, it was obviously clear that the Ding sword was not in the Mo family's sword box, Wei Shaoxuan was in her eyes, just like an ant, it wasn't worth paying attention to, and she ran away."

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly:

"According to what you said, why did the old-timers send both Ding Jian and Ah Qing to Yunmeng Jianze? What is the friendship between the two, and why did you go to the trouble of doing so? ”

Liu Zilin suddenly shut up, turned his head to look at Ouyang Rong, and his eyes showed a suspicious look when he climbed the mountain for the most part:

"Good manner, how did you come all the way to bring the precious beads that the old gentleman gave to this place where the bird doesn't? Pure Land Palace? What bullshit place? ”

Ouyang Rong was calm:

"It seems that the people you Liu family are not very competent, don't you even know that I didn't go back to my hometown a few days ago, and came to Donglin Temple to eat and stay?"

Ouyang Rong told Liu Zilin before that the old gentleman not only gave a blue butterfly paper flower, but also gave Ah Qing a treasure bead, which he asked to leave.

At this moment, Liu Zilin held the moonlight sword on his waist tightly, stared at Ouyang Rong for a while, and nodded slowly:

"Ouyang Lianghan, I've had enough, you should know what happened to me. Well, you won't, it's to save that little girl, die instead of her, and sacrifice your life for righteousness, right? ”

Ouyang Rong smiled.

Liu Zilin, who was staring at him, also smiled.

It's a pity that the meaning of laughter is different.

Immediately, everyone finally reached the end of the mountain road, and the building of the ancient temple fell into view.

Everyone climbed over the wall, entered the temple carefully, avoided the monks, and rushed in the direction of the Beitian Sanatorium.

It's just that along the way, Ouyang Rong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

In fact, he doesn't have any so-called orbs at all.

That old-timer, he really only gave Ah Qing a blue butterfly paper flower at the beginning, and he didn't know what to do.

And now it seems that it is not the so-called "pretending to be nothing".

There is also a doubt.

Liu Zilin obviously knew the inside story of the old-timers and Yunmeng Jianze, so he firmly said that the old-timers would give the newly cast Ding Sword and Ah Qing, who was a prosperous person, to Yunmeng Jianze.

Today, the eldest lady of Yunmeng Jianze suddenly came, and it is very likely that she received a message from the old-timers.

But the problem is, if it is exactly according to Liu Zilin's statement:

Ding Jian had already been cast in advance, and with blue butterfly paper flowers and other objects as "empty" containers, he secretly gave them to Ah Qing.

Then why didn't you directly notify Yunmeng Jianze and take Ah Qing and Ding Jian away in advance?

This doesn't affect it, after pretending to forge a sword successfully, it can be safer to kill Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin, tease Wei's and other operations.

The old-timers didn't do it.

Based on the effective information that Ouyang Rong has, there are only two conclusions:

First, the relationship between the old-timers and Yunmeng Jianze is not as close and tacit as imagined, but it may be indifferent and have very little communication.

The strongest desire is to forge the sword.

Of course, under the surveillance of the Liu family in the past, the old-timers must have had little contact with the outside world and were dedicated to forging swords.

It's just that I don't know what the reason for the old-timers wanted to give Ding Jian and Ah Qing to Yunmeng Jianze before he died.

But obviously, the old-timers just did their best and didn't force it too much, otherwise, the power of Yunmeng Jianze should have interfered in the sword-forging between the Liu family and the Wei clan a long time ago, instead of coming today.

Even for Ah Qing, a prosperous person, there is very little attention and help in the past, that blue butterfly paper flower, at the moment, is more like a bad joke?

This old-timer is actually very cold inside.

Also, after all, everyone around him covets the sword he forged, no matter who it is, it will gradually become cold to human nature.

As for the second conclusion.

The Ding Sword should indeed be at noon today, and it was successfully cast, not in advance.

The reason is very simple, the vision of the birth of Ding Jian is too big, and the abnormality of Yun Mengze's crazy rise in water today cannot be concealed, and it cannot deceive the qi practitioners.

And I have analyzed it before, if you can secretly cast the Ding Sword in advance, the old-timers will have more choices.

The fact is that the Liu clan and the Wei clan have always controlled the old-timers and the Jiazi sword casting furnace, and only like today, the Ding Sword was successfully born, and no accidents happened.

This old-timer who doesn't know what to do with his revenge will start revenge so heartily at noon today.

Ouyang Rong sighed.

Then the last question comes.

Listening to Liu Zilin, Wei Shaoxuan and others, to recognize the master of the Ding Sword, you need nine products, sword skills, real names, and "pretending to be nothing".

Since there is no real sword in the Mo family's sword box.

So where is this "pretending thing"?

Or rather, who did it really give to the old swordsmith?

That Yunmeng Grand Lady, why is she sure that there is no sword in the sword box?

Excluding the matter of revealing his real name to Ah Qing in advance, before the old swordsmith threw himself into the furnace and died, he turned his head to face Ouyang Rong, Wei Shaoxuan, Liu Zilin, Ah Qing and other people who were nine or not yet nine ranks, and said their "real names".

Speaking of which, this "pretending to be a void" that really hides the Ding Sword must be obtained by at least one of the four of them.

Otherwise, without a real name, wouldn't this new Ding sword never be revealed?

Maybe it's the lack of important information, or maybe it's the brain circuit of the old-timer, he really can't understand it.

Ouyang Rong frowned.

He thought quickly, but his thoughts were a mess.

"This is what you call the Pure Land Palace?"

Liu Zilin suddenly turned his head, pointed to a dry well in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

Ouyang Rong came back to his senses and nodded quietly: "That's right." ”

There were no unexpected setbacks along the way, Ouyang Rong was brought to the backyard of the Beitian Relief Home by Liu Zilin and others, and the servants in Tsing Yi stood in front of the dry well, looking around.

Liu Zilin looked down at the well and motioned for his subordinates to fetch the rope ladder.

He turned his head, stared at Ouyang Rong's eyes and said:

"You're fine, what are you doing with the orb down here?"

"It's quiet down there, I like to meditate, I climbed up yesterday, and I forgot to bring the orb."

Ouyang Rong's face was as usual, he walked first, put down the rope, and slid down with a familiar car:

"Let's go, don't rub it off, what you want is down there, I hope it won't be picked up by outsiders."

Liu Zilin frowned, waved his hand, and led a group of subordinates to follow one after another, sliding along the rope into a dim underground palace under the well.

Downhole.

When someone came to the dungeon again, it was like going home, and the landing operation was skillful and easy.

Liu Zilin observed Ouyang Rong's familiar movements with a sideways look, and the suspicious look in his eyes decreased slightly.

Seems to be a regular visitor.

"Introduction, this is the master of ignorance...... Well, you can call him Xiuzhen too. ”

"Amitabha, donors, this place is a lotus flower...... Yes! ”

In the dark, a withered monk who came with a compassionate face screamed "Ah", was knocked down by a punch, and lay on the ground not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Liu Zilin shook his released right fist, and gestured to his subordinates on the side, with his chin tilted: "Drag it away." ”

Ouyang Rong: ......

"Your friend?" Liu Zilin asked sideways.

"I don't know, a crazy monk." After a pause, he added a sentence that seemed superfluous: "The beloved disciple of the temple host." ”

Ouyang Rong's face was calm, he turned around and walked straight to the stone lotus pedestal in the center of the underground palace.

Liu Zilin's right palm was always held on the hilt of the sword, and he looked around this strange dungeon with curiosity.

The surrounding Tsing Yi slaves tacitly went to the murals in the four directions, probed, and finally confirmed that the underground palace was not in danger, and they were distributed in the four sides to stand guard.

At this moment, in the open palace, Liu Zilin and the servants in Tsing Yi surrounded Ouyang Rong.

If you can't hand over something, you can't escape.

"It's here, where's my sword." Liu Zilin asked softly.

"What's the hurry, what's down here, I'm looking for it, it seems like I've fallen underneath."

The young magistrate sat on a lotus pedestal in a meditative posture.

He stooped as if no one was around, his palms reaching into the dark shadows beneath the pedestal.

At the same time, he silently closed his eyes and glanced inwardly at the remaining merit points in a certain merit tower.

"After using 10,000, is there still so much merit left......" bowed his head and sighed.

With a "bang", the sword light flashed.

"What merit, what the hell are you talking about?" Liu Zilin drew his sword and wondered.

Touching the rough and cold four-character stone carving below again, Ouyang Rong raised his head and showed an embarrassed smile at Liu Zilin.

He suddenly realized that fate had played a big joke on him.

When he wanted to go, he couldn't.

When you don't want to go, you have to go.

Ouyang Rong was silent for a moment and sighed: "I said...... I found it. ”

Liu Zilin hurriedly stretched out his palm: "What did you find, where is it?" Ouyang Lianghan, there is a limit to my patience, give it to me! ”

But in the next second, he was startled, rubbed his eyes, and found that he didn't see dazzle, Ouyang Lianghan in front of him...... Purple glow in your eyes?

Liu Zilin suddenly took a step back.

Ouyang Rong's eyes were full of purple qi, and his face was as calm as death:

"I've found my way home, so it's today, redeem it...... Return! ”

He snorted.

Close your eyes slowly.

Inside the Meritorious Tower, a row of blue-gold numbers rapidly decreased...... 10,000 merits are completely cleared!

Bell ——!!!

Ouyang Rong's ears rang a dull bell like a bell.

It was the loudest and loudest bell of good fortune he had ever heard.

All of them show the special features of this expensive blessing, and it is extraordinary.

From the first time the underground palace woke up and found the stone carving of "Returning to Laixi", to now the knife holder neck is forced to exchange the "Returning to Laixi" blessing.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has been almost half a year, he went down the mountain to accumulate merits, met a group of like-minded partners in Dragon City, and also did a lot of things that benefited the country and the people.

There are joys, regrets, and ...... People who are reluctant.

But life is impermanent, and no one knows where they will be tomorrow, what they will do, and who they will meet.

Look ahead.

At the last moment, the young man who had been extremely eager to go home to take the postgraduate entrance examination looked up with reluctance.

He looked up at the wellhead above him that he had hoped to climb up to go home for relief, and looked up at the blue sky outside the wellhead that was exactly the same as in his previous life.

However, this hope is a long time.

Ouyang Rong raised his head for a while.

But the well in the field of vision is still the well, and the sky is still the same day.

There was no movement around him.

Ouyang Rong frowned tightly and looked around.

The scene of the underground palace was unwavering.

Wait, what about his 10,000 merits!?

What about the return that was promised?

Swing forward so slowly?

Come on, hey!

Ouyang Rong sat on the lotus seat and waited, his face was slightly anxious, and he looked left and right.

Then he met the strange gaze of Liu Zilin and the others behind him.

“……”

Everyone was looking at him with a bad face.

I'm afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet like this.

Sou! A cold blade that emitted gray moonlight caused a few hairs to fall from his neck.

Ouyang Rong turned his head stiffly and met Liu Zilinsen's cold and terrifying gaze, and the latter squeezed out a few words between his mouth:

"Ouyang Lianghan, what are you pretending to be a ghost?"

Ouyang Rong: ......
