“In the ancient land of Wu and Yue, there used to be barren mountains and harsh rivers, the water was full of miasma, the level of civilization was low, and the people mostly believed in obscenity and worshiped ghosts and gods.

"Only in the past few hundred years, because of the migration of people from the north to the south and the migration of people from the north to the south, a lot of civilization has been achieved, but the ignorance of the people has not necessarily improved much.

"This Yunmeng Jianze is nothing more than the same trick. It's flashy, neurotic, and decorated with some mysterious and terrifying elements to frighten the people and deepen the so-called Yuanjun's belief."

Qin Yanqing's voice echoed through the quiet and narrow corridor of the state prison.

Breaking the silence outside the water prison door.

If these people were not qigong practitioners, executioners, or came from the fighting of the army, they would naturally not accept this trick. How could they be easily frightened by a strange-shaped short bronze weapon.

Rong Zhen nodded lightly, his expression dull.

Old Yang yawned.

Although the old man slept less and less, he was woken up in the middle of the night to interrogate prisoners... It is quite difficult to be an executioner these days, a "court eagle dog".

Qin Yanqing, Rong Zhen, and Lao Yangtou looked at Ouyang Rong who said nothing in tacit understanding.

After all, among everyone present, he was the only one who came from the civil service system.

As for what Qin Yanqing said just now, he most likely wanted to take care of and comfort Ouyang Rong.

But several people saw that Ouyang Rong didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but instead had an expression of interest.

Rong Zhen was not surprised. This guy had cut off the head of Zhu Lingxu who was rushing through the gate at the West City Gate in public.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and was looking at the bronze dagger.

He actually quite likes bronzes.

I have always felt that bronze has a unique primitive and rough beauty, which is suitable for matching with the other two elements, fire and blood.

"There are words on it."

Ouyang Rong suddenly spoke, and the two palms he was playing with Yun Mengling stopped.

Everyone saw that the pads of his fingers were slowly rubbing the side of the bronze sword body, close to the hilt of the dragon head wearing the mask of pain.

"What word?"

Just as Qin Yanqing asked curiously, Rong Zhen had already stepped forward, leaned forward rudely, and got closer to Ouyang Rong, who was squinting to read the writing on the sword.

Because they were too close, their posture seemed to be close to his arms, but there was no physical contact between the two, leaving a thin line.

Before Ouyang Rong could speak, he felt a fragrant orchid-like breath:

"If you fight with the evil dragon for too long, you will turn into an evil dragon..."

Rong Zhen didn't seem to notice Ouyang Rong's gaze. Halfway through, he frowned slightly and paused.

Before she could calm down her confused expression and continue reading, Ouyang Rong on the side had already read out the second half for her:

"Stare with Mengyuan for too long, Mengyuan will stare back."

"Evil dragon? Mengyuan? What do you mean?"

Qin Yanqing asked doubtfully.

No one answered.

Old Yang shook his head.

After a moment, Rong Zhen snorted coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost."

Ouyang Rong looked thoughtful as he looked at the line of inscriptions on the bronze sword.

The handwriting is graceful and elegant, and it can be seen that it was written by a woman.

【Fighting with the evil dragon for too long will turn your body into an evil dragon.

If you stare at Mengyuan for too long, Mengyuan will stare back.】

After staring for a while, he suddenly said:

"Ancient books say that before the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were indeed dragons in the land of Wu and Yue. At that time, evil dragons were rampant and occupied the swamps and lakes. Coupled with frequent floods, they became the unrivaled Dragon King of Hebo in the people's mouth. Many places were visited by dragons.

It was popular to throw boys and girls into the water as sacrifices, and the people of Wuyue were miserable."

"Old Huang has remembered it many years ago, but there are still no dragons in the rivers now. The old man said that they were all killed by those pre-Qin Qi practitioners."

Qin Yanqing shook his head.

Rong Zhen moved his eyes away from the bronze dagger in Ouyang Rong's hand, looked at the water prison behind him, and stared slightly:

"Ouyang Lianghan, my hunch is indeed correct. It is now clear that the Tiannan Jianghu rebels led by Yunmeng Jianze have made peace with the Southwest Kuangfu Army.

"Don't forget what we discussed with you at Xunyang Grottoes yesterday. We may not have time to delay any longer."

Ouyang Rong glanced at her solemn profile and nodded lightly.

Qin Yanqing, who was dressed in dark black clothes, waved the blood-stained confession in his hand and said in a high voice:

"According to this person's confession, this Yunmeng Token is very precious, and Yunmeng Jianze has always given out very little.

"In the past, in the world of Tiannan Jianghu, there were only two sects who could treasure this order. In addition, there are some Shanxia Qi practitioners Keqing family who are inextricably connected with Yunmeng Jianze. According to the statistics of good people

, there are only twenty or thirty pieces circulating outside Yunmengze, and each one is priceless.

"And it's divided into levels. According to the number of claws on the handle of this bronze dragon, it can be divided into three levels. The one we got from Zheng Jun should be considered the lowest level... The Yunmeng Jianze we got is different levels.

The level of trust is also different.

"But it's still very rare. Yunmeng Jianze is one of the few hidden sects in the world, a leader in the world of Jianghu, and even the famous Fulu Sanshan has to pay tribute.

"And owning a Yunmeng Token means that you have been recognized by Yunmeng Jianze, and your family's incense can be protected by the so-called Yuanjun. With this Yunmeng Token, you can enter Yunmeng Ze once and invite a Yue girl.

, maybe even a female monarch-level Yuenu descending the mountain.

"Furthermore, if the forces or families under the mountain who own the Yunmeng Ling are lucky enough to catch up with the good times in a certain year, they can also recommend their own girls who have not yet reached the hairpin level to hold the Yunmeng Ling and enter the Yunmeng Lake to practice...

"In this way, these forces and individuals who possess the Yunmeng Order can be regarded as some kind of worldly representatives of Yunmeng Jianze who have been placed in the Jianghu under the mountain. They have a transcendent status. No one in the Tiannan Jianghu dares to offend them too much, at least they dare not do anything, such as destroying the family.

Category……"

Qin Yanqing shook his head:

"Things are rare and valuable. The main reason is that in the past, Yunmeng Jianze was high up. The Yue girls lived in Yunmeng for a long time and often did not see one for several years. Yunmeng Ling used one less to become the leader of the world.

Rare treasure.

"And now, for reasons we all know, the current Yunmeng Lady leads a group of Yunmeng Yue girls to leave Daze and go down the mountain to join the world...

"This time it is rare for them to issue a new batch of Yunmeng Tokens again. It seems that there are many people who have obtained this Yunmeng Token. This Daxia Zheng is one of them. It still depends on the good reputation in the world.

.

"However, in Yunmeng Jianze's secret meeting, this person is definitely not a core figure, and the Yunmeng Token he holds is also the most basic, and he has not yet been fully trusted.

"According to this confession, the last time he went there was also the first time he participated in the secret meeting. He knew nothing about the specific content. He was only told to stay in Jiangzhou and wait for instructions... Oh, these Yue girls are cautious about martial law.

I heard from Zheng Jun that the second female gentleman named "Yu Nianyuan" was coordinating them. He and seven other people were received by this female once.

"As for the person coming from Kuang Fu's army, this Great Master Zheng only took a look at him from a distance from a dozen rows away. His name was Mr. Wei, Mr. Du Shaoxia..."

"It's really fancy."

Rong Zhen interrupted and threw down his skirt sleeves:

"What else can a group of rebels do when they get together, waiting for orders? Ha, isn't it the same as the last Xingzifang attack? Qin Changshi, Zheng Jun was arrested, does anyone else know about it now?"

"Our Xuanwu Camp moved very quickly this time, and it was late at night. The news of this person's arrest should not have been spread yet."

Qin Yanqin shook his head seriously and handed the confession booklet to Rong Zhen.

"That's good."

Rong Zhen took the booklet, shook off the water stains on it, turned her head, and extended her free white and tender hand towards Ouyang Rong.

The female historian has a cold and stern face.

Ouyang Rong said nothing and put the bronze dagger back into her hand.

Rong Zhen stuffed the confession and the bronze dagger into his sleeve.

With her sleeves in hand, she walked towards the door with her back turned, and a cold voice came:

"You guys have worked hard tonight. It's almost dawn, so I won't go on too much. I'm going to arrest someone. Old Yangtou, that guy in the water prison, don't let him die yet."

"good."

Ouyang Rong and Qin Yanqing looked at each other.

The two of them followed and walked towards the door of the state prison.

Old Yangtou put away the bench that Ouyang Rong had made, and dragged it to the nearest torch at the entrance of the water prison. The old man sat back leisurely, took out a thick book, and continued to read...

On the road leading to the prison door.

Rong Zhen suddenly spoke, seemingly to Ouyang Rong who was following behind:

"According to this person's confession... I really didn't expect that there would be anyone like him within the confines of Xunyang City who would dare to accept the Yunmeng Order in private.

"Have you not seen the wanted notices that were all over the streets before? The Supervisory Yuan and the Jiangzhou government have publicized them well, right? Are there still people who know the law and break it?
To be continued...
