Chapter 244 Return to the underground palace, exchange of blessings(1/2)
"Rokuro."
"The humble position is here!"
"After Liu Zilin and I leave later, you must protect Ah Qing.
"Look over there, walking through the woods and walking a hundred and twenty steps north, you can see an abandoned pavilion. There is an open space behind the pavilion, where Qiu Shenji stopped me and other brothers before.
"The brothers who were imprisoned in the sealed cave, the Burning Sky Shark Oil, and the junior sister's skirt knife are all left there. You can go there later to rescue people and get things."
"Mingfu, if we don't leave, we will follow behind and look for opportunities to rescue you! I have already sent someone to contact Master Xie..."
"No, you guys, don't follow me. Liu Zilin is a frightened bird now. If you follow him, it will only make him more suspicious and drag me down.
"Rokuro, please do me one last thing."
"Mingfu, don't talk like this. I'm afraid of...what is going on in my humble position?"
"Give the skirt knife to my junior sister for me, and give me a message...
"Just say, I'm sorry. As a senior brother, I'm afraid I have to break my promise again. I just promised her today and I will never leave her without saying goodbye again, haha."
…
The official ship that Ouyang Rong, Liu Zilin and a group of Tsing Yi slaves took was provided by Yan Liulang and others.
Taking the waterway, we went downstream from Butterfly Creek and soon arrived at Songling Ferry, not far from Dagushan Mountain.
About an hour later.
Dagushan, a remote mountain road.
Liu Zilin and the Tsing Yi slaves escorted Ouyang Rong, who was willing to be a hostage.
Everyone carefully stepped on the moss-covered bluestones under their feet and climbed the mountain step by step.
Right now, smoke is everywhere in the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek, Dickong Gate is about to collapse at any time, and floods are likely to come at any time.
The people of Longcheng gathered at the refuge camp in Dagushan.
Seemingly in order to avoid these people in Dragon City, Liu Zilin deliberately took a less traveled path up the mountain and carefully went to a certain temple and underground palace that Ouyang Rong pointed out.
"Liu Sanshao looks so uncomfortable. Could it be that...Wei Shaoxuan and the others have also come to Dagushan?"
Ouyang Rong suddenly chuckled and said.
Liu Zilin's back, which was frequently looking around, froze slightly, then turned around and said:
"Ouyang Lianghan, do you really want to die? Do you want Wei Shaoxuan to kill you?"
"Aren't they all the same? It falls into your hands." Ouyang Rong nodded and said.
"snort."
Liu Zilin turned his head back, narrowed his eyes and said:
"As long as you take out the real artifact and give it to me and get the tripod sword, I will naturally let you go. When the time comes, you will walk on your sunny path and I will cross my single-plank bridge."
"Okay." Ouyang Rong smiled.
Liu Zilin also smiled.
Ouyang Rong looked away from the ropes that tied his hands and the green-clothed slaves surrounding him on both sides.
I silently felt the Dantian meridians and tried to mobilize the spiritual energy. It was clear that the spiritual energy could flow, but my limbs were still empty and weak.
Liu Zilin had an eye for his bone-shrinking ability. Just after the hostage exchange, he immediately gave him a strange scent of cartilage, which made his limbs limp.
Although the spiritual energy in the body can still operate as usual, the spiritual energy of a low-level practitioner cannot leave the body, and he has temporarily lost his ability to move.
Thinking about it carefully, Ouyang Rong always felt that the effect of this strange fragrance was not serious. Could it be for the exclusive use of flower pickers?
Ouyang Rong was speechless.
Seeing that we are getting closer and closer to Donglin Temple on the top of the mountain.
He suddenly asked:
"Liu Zilin, actually I have been curious since the beginning, how are you sure that there is no sword in the sword box that the senior 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 Wei family's hands to destroy our Liu family.
"The reason is very simple, as long as the Wei family takes away the sword box, and finally finds that there is no sword in the box, the bamboo basket will be empty.
"Then the anger will definitely be unleashed on the Liu family. In this way, I, the third youngest member of the Liu family who has survived alone, will die without a burial place. The old man is killing two birds with one sword.
"When he was alive, he witnessed the three brothers of our Liu family killing each other. After his death, someone also cleaned up the Liu family for him. Hahahaha, our Liu family will be buried with him."
Ouyang Rong was curious: "What did you do to make this old man hold such a grudge?"
Liu Zilin didn't answer and thought to himself:
"And when Wei Shaoxuan left with the Mohist sword box, the eldest lady of Yunmeng Jianze had no intention of stopping her. It was obvious that she knew that the tripod sword was not in the Mohist sword box, and Wei Shaoxuan was in front of her.
Li, like ants, are not worthy of attention, and if they run away, they will run away."
Ouyang Rong frowned slightly:
"According to your explanation, why did the old man send Ding Jian and Ah Qing to Yunmeng Jianze? What kind of relationship do the two have, and why did he go to all the trouble to do this?"
Liu Zilin suddenly shut up and turned to look at Ouyang Rong. His eyes showed suspicion when he was halfway up the mountain:
"Dear Duan Duan, why did you come all the way to bring the precious beads given by the old gentleman to this place where birds don't shit? The Pure Land Palace? What kind of bullshit place?"
Ouyang Rong was calm and composed:
"It seems that the people you Liu family are following are not very qualified. They don't know that I didn't go back to my hometown at all a few days ago and came to Donglin Temple to eat and stay."
Ouyang Rong told Liu Zilin before that the old man not only gave a blue butterfly paper flower, but also gave Ah Qing an orb, but he wanted to leave.
At this moment, Liu Zilin held the moonlight sword at his waist tightly, stared at Ouyang Rong for a while, and nodded slowly:
"Ouyang Lianghan, I've had enough. You should know the consequences of lying to me. Well, you wouldn't sacrifice your life to save that little girl and die in her place, right?"
Ouyang Rong smiled.
Liu Zilin, who looked at him, also smiled.
Unfortunately, laughter has different meanings.
Soon, everyone finally reached the end of the mountain road, and the buildings of the ancient temple came into view.
Everyone climbed over the wall, entered the temple carefully, avoided the monks, and rushed towards the Beitian Almshouse.
But along the way, Ouyang Rong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he doesn't have any so-called orbs at all.
The old man indeed only gave Ah Qing a blue butterfly paper flower, but he didn't know what it was for.
And now it seems that it is not the so-called "pretentious thing".
There is another doubt.
Liu Zilin obviously knew something about the old man's relationship with Yunmeng Jianze, so he firmly said that the old man would give the newly forged tripod sword to Yunmeng Jian, as well as Ah Qing, who was a powerful man.
Ze.
The eldest daughter of Yunmeng Jianze suddenly arrived today, and she probably received news from the old senior.
But the problem is, if you follow Liu Zilin's statement completely:
The tripod sword had been cast in advance, and it was secretly given to Ah Qing using blue butterflies, paper flowers and other objects as "pretentious" containers.
Then why not notify Yunmeng Jianze directly and take A Qing and Ding Jian away in advance?
This does not affect it. After pretending to make the sword successfully today, it will be safer to kill Liu Zian and Liu Zilin, tease the Wei family, etc.
The old-timers didn't do that.
Judging from the effective information Ouyang Rong has, there are only two conclusions:
First, the relationship between the senior and Yunmeng Jianze is not as close and tacit as imagined. Instead, they may be emotionally indifferent and have very little communication.
The strongest desire is to forge the tripod sword.
Of course, under the supervision of the Liu family in the past, the old man must have had little contact with the outside world and concentrated on making swords.
I just don’t know why the old man wanted to give the tripod sword and Ah Qing to Yunmeng Jianze before he died.
But it is obvious that the old man just tried his best and did not push too hard. Otherwise, Yunmeng Jianze's power should have intervened in the Liu family and Wei family's sword-making matter long ago, instead of just coming today.
Even in the past, there was very little attention and help for Ah Qing, an energetic person. That blue butterfly paper flower now seems more like a bad joke?
This old man is actually very cold inside.
Yes, after all, everyone around him is coveting the sword he forged. No matter who it is, they will gradually become cold-eyed towards human nature.
As for the second conclusion.
The tripod sword must have been cast successfully at noon today, and it was not cast in advance.
The reason is very simple. The vision of the birth of the Cauldron Sword is too great. The abnormality of the crazy rising water in Yunmengze today cannot be concealed, and it cannot be deceived by Qi practitioners who can look at Qi.
Moreover, it has been analyzed before that if the tripod sword can be secretly forged in advance, the seniors will have many more choices.
The fact is that the Liu family and the Wei family have always controlled the elders and the sword-making furnace. Only like today, the Dingjian was successfully born without any accidents.
This old man who had no idea of his vengeance would start his revenge so heartily at noon today.
Ouyang Rong sighed.
Then comes the last question.
I heard from Liu Zilin, Wei Shaoxuan and others that to obtain the Cauldron Sword and recognize its owner, one needs ninth rank, sword tactics, a true name, and "pretentious things".
To be continued...
