Ouyang Rong did not suspect that there was something fishy hidden in Guyue Sword Shop at first.

Until several things were recently connected by him:

The strange flood in Yunmengze.

The Liu family made prophetic preparations for each of the floods.

It is said that the tripod and tripod sword that contain mythical power may have the ability to cause floods.

There is a precedent of forging tripod swords on the west bank of Butterfly Creek.

The unknown core interests of the Liu family that Broken Wing Qu may harm.

The time spent with the Liu family was amazingly patient and sincere.

There are also suspicious points revealed in the matter of picking up Ah Qing a few days ago.

Strange old craftsmanship.

The inexplicable sword baptism ceremony of the Kasan Sword Furnace and the missing female spike worker.

A qi practitioner from the Fang Warlock Taoist lineage...

The junior sister may be affected by inertial thinking and inherent experience, but Ouyang Rong is a foreigner who habitually breaks away from the constraints of the things in front of him and flies to a certain God's perspective to observe and think.

His intuition always vaguely felt that something was brewing around him.

Ouyang Rong has been to almost all of Longcheng County, except for one place: Guyue Sword Shop.

This is also a blind spot that he and the forces of Longcheng County Government cannot touch for the time being.

It was like a small map filled with the fog of war. He had almost explored it, but there was still a small area in the center where gray fog was always lingering.

How not to make people want to move.

So that day, after the Liu family sincerely returned Ah Qing's deed of betrayal, Ouyang Rong agreed to Liu Ziwen's previous request and personally sent a letter to Jiangzhou City, inviting Mr. Shen to visit Longcheng County to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Di Gong Gate.

Then he turned around and asked Yan Liulang and Liu Ashan to step up preparations.

On the west bank of Butterfly Creek, there is a mysterious sword shop.

Ouyang Rong decided to search.

Only by going in to find out more could he leave with peace of mind.

Ouyang Rong opened his eyes on the reclining chair.

Looking at the empty hall, he muttered:

"It seems that the merit points have increased a lot in the past few days... I have to go and see."

Since the morning of the day before yesterday, Ouyang Rong's ears have been ringing with a series of crisp wooden fish sounds, and a sum of merit points has been received one after another.

At first, he was quite vigilant, wondering if it was similar to what happened to Ah Qing, but later he discovered that this wave of merit points was increasing continuously, from morning to night.

Although the frequency is not intense and the volume each time is not large and a little short, it is better than lasting.

A steady flow of water is the way to go.

This wave is somewhat similar to the period of merit growth after Ouyang Rong built a suburban disaster relief camp.

Later Ouyang Rong roughly determined the source.

Combined with the Di newspaper received a few days ago, there is also a letter of gratitude from the Xingzi County Magistrate who visited Di Gong Gate.

It must be that the more than 160,000 shi of food he raised arrived in Jiangzhou City and various disaster-stricken counties, and began to play the role of life-saving food.

Ouyang Rongfang felt at ease.

Then he concentrated his attention and faded away the noisy influence of the continuous crisp wooden fish sounds in his ears. This was a method he had accidentally discovered before, which could reduce the noise in his mind. It was regarded as entering the do not disturb mode and would not interfere with Ouyang Rong's daily work.

and life, and receive timely feedback.

But in fact, he is somewhat accustomed to the sound of wooden fish. After all, he is a man who can fall asleep peacefully while listening to the Great Compassion Mantra...

Ouyang Rong felt refreshed as this long-lost wave of large sums of merit entered the pagoda.

It has only slowed down the frequency of growth until today.

At the moment, the junior sister seemed to be in a daze on the porch outside the door, so she didn't come in to disturb her.

Ouyang Rong closed his eyes and entered the ancient ancient tower above the sea of ​​​​mind again.

Still the same.

Everything in the tower was completely silent.

Fortunately, the bell is quiet and has no fever.

The blue-gold font above the small wooden fish quietly stays on a line of numbers:

[Merits: Twelve thousand and eighty-one]

Hit a new high.

Previously, the highest merit value was only "11,631".

As a result, he later exchanged a blessing of 3,000 merit points at Yunshui Pavilion, which fell below his bottom line of 10,000 merit points.

Now it finally rose back up again, even slightly surpassing it.

The more than 160,000 shi of grain donated by Najun was not in vain.

Ouyang Rong looked pleased, and when he saw the little wooden fish in front of him, he felt that he looked pretty.

I couldn't help but reach out and touch the quiet and well-behaved dog.

Not to mention, it feels round and warm in the hand, and the texture is delicate and smooth, which is really good.

He took a long breath and relaxed a little.

This is called having "food" in your hands and not panicking in your heart.

With 10,000 merit points guaranteed, Ouyang Rong can go to the Pure Land Palace at any time.

The initiative is in his hands.

Besides, there is so much extra, I guess no matter how you deduct it, there will still be some leftover.

Ouyang Rong thought about it carefully and found that he had not had any merit deducted recently.

Occasionally I would ride in a carriage or the bow of a boat, but the bumps on the road were too great. I couldn't help but glance worriedly at the little junior sister running around, but it seemed that no merit points had been deducted.

I don’t know if it’s because the junior sister didn’t notice the whole process, or because gentlemen can try it out for free.

What? Can’t you just look away? Just stay there?

Ouyang Rong is not a saint.

He has been telling people about it since the Pure Land Palace.

Even if it incorporates the memory of a gentleman from this life, it is still dominated by thoughts from the past life.

In order to go back these days, I try my best to suppress myself and try to be a gentleman, so this is the only repertoire of "junior sisters are not on guard" on weekdays.

But the real situation is that the "Haoran righteousness" in his body is about to overflow.

After all, the guy who joined a weird postgraduate entrance examination group and silently saved the photo album after seeing the group friends posting pictures, how could he be such a serious person?

So let the child go quickly, I can't hold it anymore... Ouyang Rong cleared his mind, turned around and prepared to leave the Merit Tower.

Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look back at the fortune clock that seemed to be in the sage's hour.

"I almost forgot, it seems that the blessings exchanged for three thousand merit points haven't come yet... It's been so many days, why hasn't there been any news?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head, muttered a few words, turned around and left.

Behind him, a certain ancient bronze bell remained motionless.

…

The bright moon is like frost, and the wind is like water.

At night, the evening breeze from the river is extremely cool, blowing away the humidity of the day.

Just when Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang returned to Meiluyuan for dinner after a long day of traveling.

At the other end of Longcheng County, there was also a family having dinner.

In the dining room of the Liu family mansion, the three brothers Liu Ziwen, Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin, and Liu Ziwen's first wife, Mrs. Xu, sat around a small round table and engrossed themselves in eating.

The table was quiet except for the sound of dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Ziwen ate in silence.

Neither Liu Zian nor Liu Zilin spoke first.

The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, served the two brothers-in-law with rice and vegetables in a familiar manner.

Since his last trial in the street outside the county government office, Liu Zilin has become a lot more lonely after recovering from his injury.

Probably because he suffered all the beatings in his life at the hands of a certain young county magistrate, and was later forced to kneel down and apologize to the young magistrate and the noble daughter of the Xie family in Yuanming Tower.

A certain third young master of the Liu family estimated that he was a little bit autistic due to the treatment.
