Chapter 456 Harvest Count, Lingmo Clues(1/2)
Huang Xuan finally chose Daomen.
He worshiped the Qingzong of Maoshan Mountain.
Lu Ya accepted a disciple for his master and was planning to return to the mountain gate in the near future to take her back to the Maoshan Ancestral Master Hall to complete some complicated but necessary procedures.
According to Ouyang Rong's understanding, Maoshan has only a few single lineages and has few disciples in the Ancestral Master Hall. However, it is one of the Three Purities in the South. Together with the other two mountains, the disciples share the same generation, so the resources for Qi training are not bad.
Naturally, we attach great importance to a Taoist seed with innocent eyes like Huang Xuan, and we must not spend all our resources on cultivating him.
Ouyang Rong was relieved about this, even though Xie Lingjiang, who was a little disappointed and muttered, had to admit this.
"When will Director Lu leave?"
"It's just the past few days. I'm going to deal with the affairs of the palace. I have to explain some things to the prince and the prince."
"Okay, I'll let you know on the day I leave. I'll ask for leave to see you off and see Xiaoxuan off."
"Okay, Mr. Ouyang is interested."
"It's Director Lu who has worked so hard. I'll look for Xiaoxuan when I go back to Si Tianjian."
"It doesn't matter. Not to mention whether they can find her or not, as long as Miss Huang enters our mountain gate, she will be kept safe."
"That's good."
Ouyang Rong nodded and turned to look at the newly built courtyard on the outskirts of the city. There were many small courtyards around, which were similar in size and standard to this courtyard.
This entire building is currently occupied by many people, all of whom are workers' families from the Xunyang Grottoes, similar to Huang Xuan's family.
In a spacious room in the courtyard, Huang Xuan was chatting with her father Huang Feihong.
Ouyang Rong and Lu Ya stood at the entrance of the courtyard talking.
Not far outside the yard, a carriage was parked and the groom was feeding fodder.
It was evening, and on the Xunyang River in the distance, a red sun slowly sank into the wavy water of the river.
Ouyang Rong withdrew his gaze.
He had just gotten off duty in the evening and came over specifically to visit Huang Xuan and his family.
At present, the old courtyard they lived in in Xingzifang was destroyed and uninhabitable, so Ouyang Rong quietly arranged for Huang Feihong to live in a newly built low-rent house built by the government.
Miao Si recovered and regained consciousness yesterday. Ouyang Rong went to the Medical Department today to visit Rong Zhen.
This female historian's injuries are serious and she will need to recuperate for a long time.
Speaking of which, when he saw her pale face, Ouyang Rong felt a little embarrassed. He had known that he would have been gentler that day.
Ouyang Rong didn't know why he showed mercy. Maybe it was because, as Rong Zhen said, he and she did have some camaraderie in the past.
It may also be that Rong Zhen never seemed to have any doubts about his due trust in his colleague - whether it was accepting Yan Liulang sent by Ouyang Rong to investigate the case, or letting him participate when setting up the formation.
It's also possible that... something she said when she thought he was killed made him soften slightly.
Anyway, for various reasons, Ouyang Rong did not kill her, and even took Yunmeng Yue girls away while she was unconscious.
Seriously speaking, there is no unsolvable knot between Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen.
Ahem, except for bellybands and the like.
Ouyang Rong felt from beginning to end that Rong Zhen's motivation for persevering in investigating Zhu Lingxu's case should be to pursue the truth and fulfill his duties, which was not too annoying.
Although it's a bit sticky like brown sugar...
But Ouyang Rong admired it quite a bit.
However, Ouyang Rong gained a small amount of merit by visiting him several times and asking for help.
In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether he has merit or not, it's not the main purpose. The main reason is to find out from Rong Zhen the latest arrangements at Si Tianjian... Well, let's continue to be the mole.
Lu Ya glanced at the carriage that was about to set off and asked:
"Master Ouyang, don't you want to stay for a meal?"
"No, my aunt at home is waiting to go back for dinner next time, so I won't stay too long."
"good."
"Master Lu, won't you return to the palace?"
"Since Miss Xie is there, Pindao won't go back yet. The main reason is..."
Ouyang Rong saw Lu Ya turning around and looking at Huang Xuan in the yard while he was speaking, and then lowered his voice:
"In the past few days, it would be better for Pindao to stay with my junior sister. I will stay here tonight."
"It makes sense. Director Lu should be cautious. In this way, I will feel more at ease."
"Eh." Lu Ya shook his head and asked again, "Master Ouyang, are you sure this place is safe?"
"Well, as long as Xiaoxuan is not discovered by Si Tianjian's people, Huang Feihong will be fine, and I will take care of her.
"Even if we go back and let Zhennvshi re-investigate the matter and discover Huang Feihong, in the worst case, we will let him tell the truth. Just say that Xiaoxuan was picked up by a Taoist priest. You, Sanqing, can take good care of her and don't let others snatch her away."
"It's natural."
Lu Ya nodded solemnly: "Pindao will explain this matter to Brother Huang."
"That's good."
"By the way, where is the little ink spirit?"
Lu Ya asked seemingly casually.
Ouyang Rong Ziruo replied:
"I'm at my junior sister's place. I don't know if it's in the palace or Jingyi Court. Miaosi and my junior sister have fallen in love. I don't care much about their affairs."
"I see."
Ouyang Rong smiled and glanced at Lu Ya from the corner of his eye, who was very concerned about Mo Jingmiaosi.
Unlike Huang Xuan who chose to follow Lu Ya back to the Shangqing Sect for some reason.
After Miao Si, who calls herself the Fairy Mo, regained consciousness, she chose to stay.
Regarding Lu Ya's amiable conditions, he didn't listen much and refused. He hid behind Xie Lingjiang at that time and squinted his eyes to look at the Niubi Taoist priest vigilantly.
Sure enough, as Huang Xuan mentioned before, the little girl in Confucian dress hates the Taoist priest with a bull nose.
Regarding Miaosi's choice, Lu Ya was a little helpless, but he couldn't force it.
After all, Ouyang Rong also allowed Huang Xuan to make her own choice and did not intervene to force her.
Lu Ya was too embarrassed to speak about Miaosi again.
As a Taoist priest, you cannot have double standards.
Regarding this, Xie Lingjiang was in a slightly better mood.
It’s impossible not to retain the seeds of spiritual cultivation. This rare little ink master who can communicate with people should also run away, leaving no one behind?
Although Miaosi hated the Niubi Taoist priest, she didn't have much objection to Huang Xuan's choice and seemed to acquiesce.
However, after all, the two of them are partners who get along day and night, and even though they are separated, one is still a little reluctant to part with the other.
But unlike Huang Xuan, who was just a suspect, Miao Si was already in the Conflict Courtyard and was regarded by Rong Zhen and others as an accomplice of the owner of Die Lianhua.
So now Miaosi can only stay in the palace or with Xie Lingjiang to prevent being discovered by outsiders, so he didn't come today.
Seeing that nothing happened, Ouyang Rong said goodbye to Huang Feihong and his daughter in the house.
After a while, under Huang Feihong's embarrassed and grateful gaze, he turned around and boarded the carriage.
On the road, in the carriage, Ouyang Rong sat upright with long sleeves, silent for a moment, and looked back at the figure of a young man in Taoist robes with a paralyzed face who was watching him in front of the courtyard gate in the distance.
"I keep making insinuations, but it seems I am still very concerned about the specific whereabouts of Little Mo Jing... Sure enough, there is something hidden from me."
Ouyang Rong looked thoughtful.
The light falling from the car window hit his face, flickering on and off, and his murmurs were also intermittent.
"This Taoist Master Lu seems to like to hide his words. Therefore, I suggest you take Miao Si back to the Yuqing Sect for treatment. It seems that there is also a way to cook the rice and let Sanqing Sanshan keep this little Mo Jing."
thought……
"Well, I don't know if he has any doubts about me. He probably doesn't. It looks like he accepted Miaoshi's rejection...
"Perhaps in the eyes of Director Lu, the reason why Junior Sister and I want to leave behind wonderful ideas is more for the literary spirit used in breaking products. This is a good reason..."
While Ouyang Rong was talking to himself, the carriage returned all the way to the city, drove into Xunyangfang, and returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion.
After Ouyang Rong returned home, he first had a meal with his aunt Zhen Shuyuan.
Being booed and asked warmed up my wounds.
After finding out that it really didn't affect Ouyang Rong, Zhen Shuyuan let him return to Yinbingzhai.
Ouyang Rong returned to the yard and walked through the open space where clothes were hung. He passed by without squinting and ignored a certain touch of purple.
Returning to the study, the white-haired girl was not there. Ouyang Rong closed the door by himself and looked around the silent room.
Night had fallen at this moment, and the house was a little dark.
To be continued...
