No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 282 The unknown tripod sword and auspiciousness are revealed

"Da Lang doesn't look very well."

After a pause, Ouyang Rong turned around and asked seriously: "Why don't you call me to have tea at Yunshui Pavilion?"

"..." Li Fusu.

"Tan Lang, don't be kidding." He rubbed the dark bags under his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I prayed for my grandmother, I had some insomnia at night."

Ouyang Rong had a strange expression on his face: "Are you so stupid to pray for her?"

Li Fusu scratched his head: "Father stays at the pagoda day and night to pray for blessings. As a son of man, I can't hide and eat and drink well. I have to be with him."

Speaking of this, the bearded young man looked worried and looked a little haggard:

"Father is also very tired, and the date Lianghan has set to report the auspiciousness is getting closer and closer. Father has been a little restless recently, and I have to stay by his side."

Ouyang Rong smiled:

"Your father can't help it, that's fine, but don't you fall ill before uncle falls ill, it's useless for you to fall ill, grandma doesn't kiss uncle and doesn't love him."

"..."

"I can't sleep due to fatigue, Suanzaoren Decoction is the main one. You can try it."

Li Fusu asked: "Tan Lang also has medical skills?"

"Recently, I read a few medical books and prescriptions, and after learning a little, people can't..." The young county magistrate said lightly:
"Sometimes you don't even know what injuries or illnesses you have. You just listen to others."

After leaving a word, Ouyang Rong and Li Fusu separated in front of the pagoda as usual.

At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the early sun shone goldenly on a brand new and solemn pagoda in front of them.

The [-]-foot pagoda, with high eaves and teeth, is resplendent and resplendent, and countless glazed tiles are shining brightly.

Li Fusu walked into the Futu Pagoda, where the solemn sound of chanting sutras could be heard faintly, to find Li Xian and Master Shandao, and started a new day of praying and chanting sutras.

Ouyang Rong was familiar with the road, walked around the tower, and stopped in front of a familiar well behind the tower, with his hands behind his back.

He looked down at the ancient well in the underground palace, then looked back at the golden pagoda that had just been completed two days ago, and muttered softly:
"Is it a bit off-center? In other words, the lotus pagoda back then should have been built above the entrance of this underground palace, right?

"However, if it were built exactly according to the old site, blocking the sun and so on, wouldn't it be pitch black underneath? I don't know if everyone has no sun, how can this be done...

"The pagoda built by the official is called all-round humanized care, a small step in the pagoda, a big step in merit.

"So, little wooden fish, give me some more merit, hey."

Ouyang Rong smiled.

He is quite satisfied with the largest pagoda in the south of the Yangtze River, which was built strictly according to the scale of the lotus pagoda behind him.

During this period of time, except for the necessary official business of the county government, Ouyang Rong spent most of his time in Donglin Temple, supervising the construction of this pagoda, which rose from scratch.

It can be regarded as watching it rise to a tall building.

The construction speed of the new pagoda is very fast.

Thanks to the ride-hailing created by large-scale new canals and wharves in Longcheng County in the first half of the year.

There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen and young and strong laborers in the county town at the foot of the mountain. As long as the money from the Su Mansion is in place, the scale and speed of the pagoda will not be a problem.

As for the Buddha statue enshrined in the pagoda, of course, it is the various titles and Buddhist titles proclaimed by Her Majesty the Empress.

The face of the big Buddha statue in the center of the pagoda is also imitated according to the dragon face of Her Majesty the Queen.

It is completely customized according to the template of this "sage".

The only flaw in someone's heart is that the title of His Majesty is a bit too much and too long.

I don't know, I thought there were a lot of people enshrined in the pagoda. Fortunately, the new pagoda is big enough to accommodate them all.

Ouyang Rong pulled the corner of his mouth lightly.

In addition, although it is a pure place of Buddhism, the decorations in the pagoda are no matter how low and luxurious they are.

In the words of Li Xian's sigh, the queen mother must like it.

Right now, the brand-new towering pagoda has become a new landmark of Donglin Temple.

Master Shandao was dreaming at night, and his mouth was crooked.

But Mrs. Weber, the accountant down the mountain who came out with the money, couldn't help but have a look of pain on her face.

It's just that in front of Ouyang Rong, he didn't show it at all, but who knows the sigh behind the housewife?

As for Li Xian and Li Dalang, they are not housekeepers, and they are not too sensitive about money matters. The father and son trust a certain weak-ranked counselor who has gone through a lot of hardships, and they obey his husband's courtesy and obey him.

As for the little lady Li who was also in charge of the account, she was unexpectedly calm, tacitly cooperated with Ouyang Rong's actions, and did not show any pain or distress.

In Su Mansion on Luming Street, people come in and out every day, removing boxes containing precious calligraphy and paintings.

It was this little lady Li who was silently pawning the birthday gift.

And these days, Ouyang Rong's three meals a day and snacks are all provided by the Su Mansion, and he has never been absent.

With sharp eyes, he saw that as the construction progress of the new pagoda was gradually completed, the daily food standards of Wei Mei mother and daughter and Li Xian father and son were visibly reduced.

Li Xian and Li Dalang, who stayed in the temple, started to go out early and return late to go to Donglin Temple for fasting in the morning and evening.

But the specifications of the meals delivered to Ouyang Rong by Wei Mei, Li Bao'er, and their mother and daughter have not changed at all, and they are punctual every day.

Ouyang Rong saw all this and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, it was delicious. After all, happiness comes from unevenness. Well, if Li Dalang and Yan Liulang didn't come over their heads from time to time to rub their food...

"Looking at the letter from Jiangzhou a few days ago, Junior Sister should be back soon."

In front of the wellhead surrounded by stone railings, Ouyang Rong touched the skirt knife on his waist with his palm, muttered to himself, and jumped over the railing gracefully.

At present, the new pagoda and statues of saints have been completely completed.

In the name of filial piety, Li Xian and Li Dalang followed a group of eminent monks from Donglin Temple, including Master Shandao, to pray for the Queen of the capital day and night,
At the same time, a certain brocade box "with a jade ring" sent by the empress was being sealed with a seal, offering incense to the Buddha.

As for the younger junior sister, the latest news is that three days ago, she had secretly purchased precious jade from Guangzhou Mansion in Lingnan Road and returned to Jiangzhou.

However, she did not return to Longcheng immediately, and only stayed in Jiangzhou City for half a day, leaving a message to report her safety and smooth jade purchase, and then rushed to Gezao Mountain to seek pills without stopping.

Right now, the work of supervising the construction of the pagoda was completed, and Ouyang Rong suddenly became idle.

Except for cheering up a timid old county magistrate every day, following his good advice and painting big cakes, he spends his free time like this now wandering around the Pure Land Palace.

Seeing that no one was passing by the mouth of the well for the time being, Ouyang Rong turned over, went down the well quickly, and entered the underground palace.

After activating a certain haggard monk on a daily basis, Ouyang Rong quickly skipped the questions and answers about the daily tasks of the unknown master.

He took out a sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it over, the haggard monk stopped, happily walked aside, sat down on the ground, and tasted it.

Ouyang Rong turned around, walked aside, and drew a long sword from his waist.

He used the dim moonlight on the sword as a 'torch' and carefully walked around the claustrophobic underground palace.

"It stands to reason that after Master Zhongma died, it should have stayed in the underground palace."

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

He often revisited his hometown recently, not to accompany the crazy monk Xiuzhen.

It's about exploring something that's on your mind.

After Ouyang Rong recovered from his illness and went down the mountain, he reorganized these days, all kinds of things that happened after activating the blessings of returning home that day.

He suddenly noticed something he had overlooked.

If Master Zhong Ma's engraved message on the wall of the underground palace is true, it is not deceiving.

Then, didn't the Xinding sword that Master Zhongma stole from the Mad Emperor stay in the underground palace?
Or, still in Donglin Temple?

According to Ouyang Rong Jiehu's "craftsmanship" experience, Master Zhongma used the loophole of the tripod sword born in Butterfly Creek to use the entire Dragon City as a sword furnace to clean the sword for the first time.

Master Zhongma hid in the underground palace, preemptively used the sword formula, real name and other conditions, summoned the Xinding Sword, and successfully intercepted the mad emperor.

Later, the mad emperor set fire to the temple and flooded the lotus pagoda. Master Zhongma was still hiding in the Pure Land Palace, suffocated to death by the choking and hot black mist, and did not come out.

Therefore, the tripod sword whose real name is unknown is still in the Pure Land Palace.

Ouyang Rong looked down at the Moonlight Sword.

He was very skeptical at first, whether this strange long sword was the unknown tripod sword.

The reason is that the hazy moonlight emitted by its blade can strangely activate the moonlight stone carvings on the wall of the underground palace.

As for these stone carvings, Ouyang Rong guessed that they were probably carved with the unknown tripod sword based on the phantom image of Master Zhongma that day.

So... the light of the stone carving, which resembles the cold moonlight, is the sword energy of the unknown tripod sword?

And the moonlight emanating from the Moonlight Long Sword, because it has some kind of homologous connection with it, can it inspire the Moonlight Sword Qi in the stone carvings that has been silent for decades?

From this point of view, there is a high probability that the moonlight sword is the unknown cauldron sword.

However, this moonlight long sword "burst out" from Liu Ziwen's body.

A few days ago, Ouyang Rong specially went to Gu Yue Sword Shop to investigate. An old craftsman revealed that the Moonlight Long Sword is a new sword from the B-shaped sword furnace.

But that ruled out suspicion.

Just imagine, if the Moonlight Sword was really that unknown tripod sword, how could the old swordsmith easily give it up?

If he had a spare tripod sword, why didn't he send it directly to Yunmeng Jianze to end the alliance of the lotus pagoda?
Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, looking around at the empty and dark underground palace.

"Master Zhongma has already been cremated and burned into relics, where did this unknown tripod sword go?

"I asked Master Shandao about the situation after opening the underground palace. Except for the body of Master Zhongma who became a Buddha, they said that they didn't find anything similar to a sword...

"Could it be that, like my 'craftsmanship', it is also in the form of a sword but not a sword, it is difficult to recognize, the pearl is covered with dust, it was cleaned by the monks, and it was thrown away?
"Or, was it taken away by someone with a heart and hidden?

"But for so many years, apart from 'Jiang Zuo', since 'Emperor Wen', I have never heard of a new tripod sword being born..."

Ouyang Rong rubbed his chin and pondered:

"The sword master is dead, and the shape of the sword is not a sword... It's normal for the pearl to be dusty. Besides, the descendants don't know the real name. Even if they find out, who can sweep away the dust?"

He sighed softly, frowning and looking around:

"So, wouldn't it be completely lost?

"Wait, it's not necessarily true. It's interesting to hear that people who are powerful can have a connection with the Ding Jian who has not recognized their master. Ding Jian has spirituality and can choose people, just like my 'craftsmanship'. She dislikes me and depends on me, why does it sound weird...

"It's just that it's hard to find a person who is full of vigor. Ordinary people don't know their real name, so how can they find it..."

After a whole morning, Ouyang Rong circled the underground palace and searched for it several times, but to no avail.

"Where is this tripod sword?"

Not long after, he frowned, turned and left.

Well, before leaving, he used cakes to lure him, and searched the lower body of Master Unknown, not even letting go of his Buddhist beads, after biting, tooth marks appeared, it must not be the Ding Sword.

Ouyang Rong nodded.

In the end, Xiu Zhen found nothing but fleas.

Ouyang Rong, the demented monk who left the Buddhist beads and was innocently damaged in battle, walked away.

In the evening of that day, Ouyang Rong returned to Meilu Garden, and as soon as he entered the gate, a fiery red figure appeared in his vision.

"Big Brother!"

I saw the little junior sister jumping down from the swing, handing over a bag of red cloth and a pill box with a pretty face.

A round jade ring was wrapped in red cloth, and two pills of different colors lay quietly in the pill box.

"Fulfilling the mission." She raised her chin.

"Little junior sister has worked hard!"

Ouyang Rong took out a portion of Su Shan with his backhand and fed it.

Xie Lingjiang: "..."

"It's not good to have a cold drink before a meal, it will cause a stomachache." She said with a straight face.

"Stomach pain?" Ouyang Rong frowned: "Then drink more..." Immediately changed his words: "Then give it to me, or it will melt."

"No."

The Su Shan in Ouyang Rong's hand was quickly snatched away by a red sleeve.

"Can't you have a cold drink before meals?"

"Brother, can't you wait for me and eat later? Let me digest it."

"..." Ouyang Rong nodded: "It's really hard for you, okay, I'll go to the next door first, so my sister can digest it well."

Without looking at the resentful look in his junior sister's eyes, Ouyang Rong immediately went to the Su Mansion to convene everyone to discuss matters after receiving the two items.

On the way, he still muttered...why didn't the merits increase by feeding this time, the little junior sister is getting harder and harder to raise...no, it's hard to coax.

Su Mansion next door.

When Li Xian and the others saw Ouyang Rong's figure, they immediately became nervous.

Is it finally here?

An hour later, the study door opened. Before leaving, Ouyang Rong glanced at Li Xian, whose face was flushed and hands trembling, and left a pill box on the table...

late at night.

A slender figure appeared in front of the newly built pagoda next to Beitian Jiyangyuan.

This figure seemed to be walking silently, breathing deeply and quietly.

Wearing a bronze mask on his head and carrying a long and narrow wooden box on his back, he stepped into the tower, walked in the shadows silently, and bypassed the sleepy monks standing guard.

The figure came to a brocade box with a golden sealing strip enshrined in front of the Buddha.

In front of the Buddha, a ray of clear blue light suddenly mixed into the orange halo of candlelight.

An arc quietly floated above the brocade box.

The box body looks intact, lying quietly on the table.

Ouyang Rong's finger went around the seal, and tapped on a certain part of the box, and a piece with a neatly broken arc fell off and was sucked into his palm.

Although one piece is missing, the box is solid and shows no sign of disintegration.

He took out a round jade ring, stuffed it into the empty box through the circular gap of just the right size, and then built it like building blocks, calmly put it back into pieces, and it fit perfectly.

The appearance of the brocade box is intact.

The young man wearing the bronze mask took one last look at the benevolent golden Buddha statue, turned around and left.

The "arc" disappears.

The next day.

The abandoned Xunyang Wang Lixian and other masters, as usual, prayed for the Great Zhou Empress in the largest pagoda in the south of the Yangtze River.

A monk sweeping the floor accidentally knocked down the brocade box, which fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Li Xian and the monks went to rescue Yu.

He was surprised to find that among the fragments, the jade ring bestowed by the empress was not only unbroken, but also had healed missing corners, perfect and bright as the moon.

The Buddha appeared, and the beautiful jade was restored.

All the eminent monks were shocked, and the auspiciousness of the jade jue was spread throughout Longcheng in an instant, and everyone in the county was shocked.

In the first year of the holy calendar, on September [-]th, there was a county magistrate surnamed Diao in the south of the Yangtze River, who submitted a memorial to present auspiciousness.

The memorial flew to Luodu quickly.

All of a sudden, there was a wave of shock.

　I hope I didn't bother my brothers to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day (serious face)
