On the way down the mountain.
Ouyang Rong sighed helplessly, turned around and said:
"Don't worry, I won't leave without saying goodbye again. Besides, your knife is still with me, so I have to give it back to you."
He lightly patted the skirt knife on his waist with his palm to signal.
"Well, even if...even if I have to leave, I will definitely tell you, I promise. But let's solve the immediate matter first."
Xie Lingjiang glanced at him.
Ouyang Rong gently pushed Xie Lingjiang's arm, trying to soften his voice and coax him.
"Hey, can you please be in a high mood? It's no big deal. Look up, smile, and relax..."
Xie Lingjiang immediately raised his head and wrinkled his little nose:
"I'm not worried about this. Senior brother, don't treat me like a child. Of course I know that senior brother will not leave without saying goodbye again. Of course I know that business is at the forefront..."
Speaking of this, the little girl in red dress who was looking for someone last night paused for a moment, turned away from her pretty face, stretched out a little finger under her sleeve, and couldn't help but whisper: "You swear."
Ouyang Rong:......
Well, you're not a kid, but you're not much older either, except developmentally.
When someone was speechless, Xie Lingjiang blushed slightly, retracted his sleeve with his little finger, and hurriedly explained:
"I want to say, senior brother, be careful of Liu Zian and the Liu family!"
"What's the meaning?"
Xie Lingjiang nodded and his expression turned serious:
"The female fairy Yu Zhi confessed that she privately taught Liu Zian a set of her own Qi refining techniques.
"According to her, the sect's inheritance comes from overseas fairy mountains and is part of the Alchemist Dao Lineage. It is one of its branches. The Qi Refining Technique and promotion conditions are very strange."
Ouyang Rong nodded, calmly, and responded:
"Is it weird? Yes. For example, that bronze mask is quite evil. What is it called..."
Xie Lingjiang didn't notice anything wrong with someone, so he continued:
"Mirage Mask. This thing is compatible with the promotion method of this alchemist's path.
"This promotion method requires killing spiritual living people in public and making sacrifices. The more special the identity and bloodline, the better, and the more viewers, the better. In this way, you can get a significant improvement in your cultivation level or a promotion in rank."
At this moment, the two of them have not separated yet, and are rushing down the mountain together.
Ouyang Rong heard this and turned around with a frown: "Sacrifice a living person? Special? For example?"
"For example, Senior Brother." Xie Lingjiang narrowed his eyes and said in a bad tone: "The Jade Lady Fairy said that she secretly did it when Senior Brother drowned in public."
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips and suddenly turned around and asked:
"Wait a minute, I'm very curious, why on earth does the Jade Lady Fairy want to help Liu Zian and the Liu family so much, even handing over the master's Qi refining skills? Is it just to gain some glory and wealth by clinging to the Liu family?"
Xie Lingjiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:
"The Liu family had promised that after the sword was completed, Uncle Li's family would be handed over to the Yuxi Female Fairy for them to offer sacrifices. Uncle Li's family has special blood and noble status, which is very suitable for the sacrifices made by the Yuxi Female Fairy. Require.
"And the Liu family also promised the Jade Lady Fairy that after the matter is completed, there will be more cooperation in the future to help her find sacrifices."
"Wait a minute." Ouyang Rong interrupted: "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Ouyang Rong calmly pointed out:
"Where did the Liu family get the courage to touch the Lixian family? Even if they forged a tripod sword for the Wei family, there was no need to touch the Lixian family.
"This is not about surrendering, this is asking for trouble. The Liu family are speculators and they only want to get rich. There is no need to offend the Baoli faction like this. Just enjoy the glorious reward of offering the tripod sword."
"It makes sense." Xie Lingjiang hesitated, "What does senior brother mean?"
Ouyang Rong was silent for a moment, then quickly turned his head:
"No, little junior sister, please quickly return to the Su Mansion on Luming Street and protect Li Xian's family!"
Xie Lingjiang: "Why is this?"
"The Liu family dared to do anything to the Lixian family of the deposed King Xunyang, and dared to make promises to others. The Liu family must have the backing of the Wei family, so the Liu family dared to do this. This is because the Wei family has murderous intentions! With the power of the tripod sword, Cut the grass and root it out!”
Ouyang Rong nodded calmly:
"There are still an hour or two before the sword washing is completed at noon.
"If I fail to stop it and the tripod sword is finally cast, the Wei family and the Liu family will definitely attack the Li Xian family.
"If it succeeds and the tripod sword is not forged, it is difficult to say whether someone will jump over the wall in a hurry, especially since Liu Zian has also practiced a special Qi refining technique, the risk of taking risks is not small.
"Junior sister, go back quickly and stay with Li Xian's family. It's best to transfer them to Donglin Temple in Dagushan in advance. Our troops are divided into two groups."
At this time, the two of them arrived at the Shamu Pavilion halfway up the mountain.
Xie Lingjiang stopped when she heard the words, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, glanced at Ouyang Rong, she reached out and took out a white jade ring from her sleeve, engraved with a deer-shaped pattern.
Xie Lingjiang lowered his head, walked into the blinding pavilion, came to a place with a wide view, and silently transferred the spiritual energy.
Without looking back, she explained to Ouyang Rong behind her, who looked curious:
"I left Longcheng County before to go to Longhu Mountain to seek elixirs. I passed through Jiangzhou City. My father learned that I had something to do and left Longcheng. It happened that another uncle from Bailudong Academy was passing by Xunyang Ferry.
"So my father asked Uncle Chen to come to Longcheng County. While I was away, I secretly took care of Uncle Li's family... I came back in a hurry yesterday and forgot to reminisce about old times. I will contact Master Chen now.
"I know this Uncle Chen. He is dedicated to his duties and vigilant. He should still be in the Su Mansion."
In the pavilion, Xie Lingjiang is holding a deer-shaped jade ring, taking a rest, and a faint green light appears on his warm jade body.
The surrounding mountain wind suddenly stopped, and a gust of breeze blew by, not knowing where it went.
There is also a book-turner in the pavilion.
"Uncle Chen?"
Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and took a look.
The jade ring in the little junior sister's hand was engraved with a white deer pattern, which looked familiar to him.
In my memory, I saw it on some buildings of Bailudong Academy when I was a student.
But at that time, it was just commonplace.
Come to think of it, most of the Confucian academies in the world still have scholars who are unable to practice qi. The art of qi training is not widely spread, and the threshold is extremely high.
Just like Ouyang Rong, he had a leaky body before and was unable to practice Qi, let alone such contact, even though he was a reading seed that brought glory to the academy.
The Confucian sect is still regarded as the most prominent sect in the world by Qi practitioners, and it can be regarded as a great hermit in the city.
Ouyang Rong guessed that this deer-shaped jade ring should be worn by every Qi practitioner from Bailudong Academy.
Looking at the squinting look of the junior sister, it seems that she can also use this feeling to contact her fellow disciples? I don’t know if there is any distance limit...
Ouyang Rong put away his thoughts and asked aloud:
"How's it going? How's the situation over there?"
The junior sister stood quietly for a while, then turned her face with a puzzled frown:
"No response, no sound... What is going on? Could it be that Master Chen left Longcheng County silently after seeing me coming back and is not with the Su Mansion now?"
Ouyang Rong was silent and no one answered.
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath.
Ouyang Rong looked surprisingly serious:
"Junior sister, go quickly, don't forget your original duty in Longcheng County."
"Big Brother."
"I also have my responsibilities. When you return to Luming Street, remember to inform my colleagues in the county government on the way that I will be there soon."
Xie Lingjiang nodded heavily, turned around, and left quickly.
"Take care, Senior Brother! You must pay attention to safety. If there is any danger, please contact me.
"If Uncle Li and the others are fine, I will move them to a safe location and go find you immediately!"
Ouyang Rong nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
A gust of breeze blew by, and Xie Lingjiang's figure disappeared from the same place, flying away like a startled dragon, riding away from the dust.
Sure enough, she was just accommodating his speed.
Ouyang Rong sighed and shook his head, watching her retreat completely away.
He continued to run down the mountain. Occasionally holding his knees to catch his breath, he rubbed his face and murmured to himself:
"First rush to the opening ceremony of Zheyi Canal, summon Diao County Magistrate and others, then take a boat back to Longcheng to organize the people to evacuate..."
Ouyang Rong only hated that his fleshy legs were too slow to run, and he hated that he didn't have enough time. Why do you think all the monks in the world like to build temples on high mountains in the wild?
Finally, Ouyang Rong saw the archway at the foot of the mountain and was about to find a carriage to commandeer. However, on the official road ahead, a large group of dark figures came towards them. The person leading the way looked very familiar.
His face was stunned: "Liu Lang, why are you here? What are you..."
Yan Liulang and a group of detectives were leading a large number of Longcheng people to arrive in a hurry.
The people gathered in an orderly manner, just like going to the market, and came to Dagushan for refuge.
"Mingfu!" Yan Liulang blurted out when he saw Ouyang Rong standing in the middle of the road.
"You...are you all ready?"
Ouyang Rong stretched his head and looked at the people behind Yan Liulang who were carrying large and small bags and other supplies and saluting up the mountain.
He suddenly felt that he seemed to be worrying blindly.
Yan Liulang's expression was surprised, but then he turned to look complicated and hesitated to speak.
When the police officers in the crowd behind them saw Ouyang Rong, most of them showed expressions of surprise and seemed a little confused.
Many people even turned around in surprise and looked in the direction of the Longcheng County Government Office.
"Why is the county magistrate ahead of us? We are obviously the first batch..." Someone murmured.
Ouyang Rong paused.
