"What is a tripod?"

Yilanxuan, in the main room.

Ouyang Rong's right eyelid couldn't help but twitch after eating melon in his own Longcheng County.

Didn't we agree to be low-level martial arts practitioners? You Qi practitioners will fly over the roof and wall, and occasionally hold a sword training meeting to greet you warmly, and then have some traditional programs of fighting life and death, and then there will be a weird white ape carrying a sword.

Forget about the scenery, it’s not that I can’t understand it…

But how could it suddenly be mixed with such a super common sense thing that causes celestial phenomena?

Because he has been busy in Dragon City for so long and fought with the Liu family, is he wiping the aftermath of some kind of "noble and awesome" mythical power?

Ouyang Rong looked wary, and to be honest, there was something he couldn't accept in his heart.

The tower of merit in his mind also emphasizes the cycle of cause and effect and the retribution of merit.

However, after listening carefully to the junior sister's words, he exhaled, half believing and half questioning:

"Can it still lead to floods? This... doesn't sound reasonable."

Xie Lingjiang looked a little serious:

"Senior Brother, I don't actually believe it. But I once heard from a Confucian senior that the nine mythological channels seemed to originate from the tripod, and the original pre-Qin Qi refining technique was spread from the tripod. This is true

A mythical thing, mysterious and mysterious.”

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows: "Can such a heavyweight thing be occupied by the Yunmeng Jianze family?"

"There is more than one tripod."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head and said softly:

"Besides, Yunmeng Jianze holds the promotion sequence of the Yue Nu Dao Lineage, and his background is much deeper than my senior brother thought. Looking at the world inside and outside, the original nine mythical Dao Lineages can still be passed down in a complete and orderly way.

There really aren't many left.

"Yunmeng Jianze is one of them. Even the word "Yue Nu" has been linked to the practice of swordsmanship. Every swordsman in the world has a Yue Nu sword hanging three feet above his head...

"No matter how you say it, it is a hidden world sect that can rank among the top in the world. It still has the strength to guard a tripod. This is why Xuezhongzhu dares to refute the opinions of the outside world so arrogantly... It's just the new chief's

Ms. Yunmeng’s temperament is too domineering, which is not good.”

Ouyang Rong was not very interested in this group of reclusive Wuyue female cultivators in Yunmengze and asked:

"How many tripods are there?"

"It is rumored that there are nine, but there should be very few left. Many were used to make swords."

"Use a tripod to make a sword?"

"Yes, a tripod is like a sword, and a sword is like a tripod."

Miss Xie paused, imitating her father's tone when he explained certain secrets to her, showing an incomprehensible expression, and gently opened her lips:

"Senior Brother, who said that a tripod must be a tripod and a sword must be a sword?"

"...it makes sense."

Ouyang Rong nodded, pretending to understand, and guessed: "Isn't this the Cauldron Sword he's talking about?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded with satisfaction and glanced at his senior brother. Well, they still have a tacit understanding and are like close friends.

Ouyang Rong said doubtfully:

"But why are you melting cauldrons and forging swords?"

Xie Lingjiang looked serious and sighed:

"In the pre-Qin Dynasty, the tripod was originally a peaceful object that suppressed the luck of mountains and rivers. The ancient sages gathered hundreds of soldiers from all over the world to build the tripod, which was an act of peace. And the later melting of tripods and swords was naturally...

"To kill people. And the people they kill are not ordinary people."

She shook her head and whispered:

"Besides, senior brother, if you think about it, why is there any mention of the tripod fight? The tripod fight, the tripod fight, and the fight to the end is the tripod sword fight, and the methods become more and more fierce.

"Among the Qi practitioners outside the world, the first known tripod sword was born in the late Qin Dynasty, and the last rumor of a new tripod sword was born in Suimo.

"In ancient history, almost every powerful dynasty has its emperor forging swords, or the founder of the country consolidates the destiny, or the leader of the resurgence continues the country, or the king of the subjugation returns to glory, and finally starts a troubled world... But in this dynasty... , Taizu has taught you not to forge swords."

Ouyang Rong made a serious face: "What is this dynasty? This is the Zhou Dynasty. Junior sister, don't talk nonsense. We are all your subjects today."

Xie Lingjiang glanced at his senior brother, nodded and said:

"That's right. However, my senior brother is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and he has the ability to manage the world. He must be highly valued by your majesty."

"..."

Ouyang Rong pretended not to hear.

He naturally understands some of the positions of teacher Xie Xun, and the junior sister is young and also a bold guy.

He asked again:

"So there is still a tripod hidden in Yunmeng Jianze, but it has not been made into a tripod sword?"

"It should be."

"What does the tripod look like? It has three legs and four legs?"

"I don't know, I also want to see it. Rumor has it that the cauldron is full of energy.

"But even if I wasn't injured this time, I wouldn't be able to see the ceremony at the Peach Valley Sword Asking Conference. Yunmeng Jianze refused to allow outsiders to view the cauldron. The cauldron they hid has not been seen for many years."

Ouyang Rong laughed: "Maybe it has been forged into a sword in secret. I feel guilty and can't take it out."

Xie Lingjiang nodded and shook his head:

"Once the tripod sword is forged, not only will there be strange phenomena coming from the sky, but other tripod swords in the world will also be able to sense it. It is impossible to hide it.

"Besides, there are no swordsmiths left in the world today. The previous dynasty failed to forge swords with the emperor for the second time. When the country was subjugated and the country was in chaos, it was at this Butterfly Creek that all the swordsmiths were slaughtered. The lineage of Yue Nu is as old as that of Yue Nu. The art of craftsmanship has become extinct."

The junior sister's tone was regretful and she said to Ouyang Rong:

"Compared with the scene of the sword furnace at Liujia Sword Shop by Butterfly Creek now, it is nothing compared to the scene in Suimo when the whole nation was used to forge tripod swords by Butterfly Creek."

Ouyang Rong was thoughtful. The glorious past of Longcheng County with Butterfly Creek was not only mentioned by his junior sister now, but also mentioned by two locals, Yan Liulang and Liu Ashan, to him before.

It's just that I haven't taken it too seriously, and I think it's an exaggeration. After all, if your ancestors have not been generous, you have to take it out and talk about it in front of outsiders... Everyone likes to recall the glory of their ancestors, and they always feel that they are not as good as their ancestors, so that's fine. Shame is not only the case for people, but also for regions and countries.

Well, not only with the same generation, but also with eight generations of ancestors.

There is no ghost until you are tired.

In the room, Ouyang Rong pondered silently after listening to what Xie Lingjiang revealed. The two of them were speechless for a while.

Ouyang Rong didn't curl up.

For example, he would never secretly compare him with Di Fuzi, Tao Yuanming and other former Longcheng county magistrates.

At present, the current magistrate of Longcheng County only wants to fulfill his mission of disaster relief and flood control.

In addition, do everything you can to restrain the Liu family.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the hospital. Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang stood up and took a look. A Su Mansion concierge came with Liu Ashan, who seemed to have something urgent to report, but was stopped by the maid Yi Lanxuan.

Ouyang Rong picked up the food box and went out, asking Liu Ashan: "What's so urgent?"

Liu Ashan said seriously: "Master, someone from the Liu family wants to see you."

"We're finally here. Are you looking for me at Meiluyuan, or at the county government office?"

"There are all of them. Those who came to Meiluyuan also gave some as gifts..."

Ouyang Rong interrupted directly and took the lead to move forward with a handheld food box: "As per the old rules, everyone from Meiluyuan is rejected. Those from the county government, let's go over now."

"yes."

…

The person coming from the county government is Liu Zian.

In the lobby of the Yamen, Ouyang Rong looked at the second young master of the Liu family who looked like a sickly noble man with a slightly curious face.

He has never met Liu Zian, but he has heard that his status in the Liu family is second only to Liu Ziwen. This second brother is obviously more valued by Liu Ziwen than the obscure third brother.

Obviously, the Liu family showed great sincerity in sending such a person to ask for an audience.

However, there is a certain person who won't do this at home today.

Without even getting a cup of tea, he said directly:

"Young Master Liu Er is here, and I am very frightened."

"Sir Ouyang, what are you talking about? It is an honor for the grass people and the Liu family to see you today. You can just call the grass people directly, and don't be disrespectful."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "You Liu family are not grassroots people. When I first came here, someone suggested that I go to your 'grassland people Liu family' to pay homage to the dock."

Liu Zian's eyes changed. He immediately looked serious and bowed his hands:

"In Dragon City, we are all your subjects, and you are our parents and officials. Please don't take the flattering words of those who are short-sighted to heart."

Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded. Just when Liu Zian felt that he had caught it, the young county magistrate suddenly said: "But what should I do if I take it to heart? Why don't I knock you a few times and apologize to you?"
