Ouyang Rong frowned.

He glanced at the skirt knife held between him and Xie Lingjiang.

Still not picked up.

Ouyang Rong's expression calmed down and he said to Xie Lingjiang who looked serious:

"First... the worse news."

Xie Ling Jiang Ningmei:

"Elder brother, we were all deceived by Liu Ziwen and the Liu family!"

"The Guyue Sword Shop is just a cover. The Liuzi family found an old swordsmith with a craftsmanship from nowhere, and secretly cooperated with the Wei family of the current dynasty to forge tripod swords together for many years!

"Over the years, the unusual floods that have occurred in the lower reaches of Butterfly Creek are mostly related to the tripod sword in the furnace of Guyue Jianpu, which absorbed water vapor and disturbed the water veins."

Xie Lingjiang said with an indignant look:

"The Jade Lady Fairy also revealed that the Liu family used the first-hand information about the influence of the tripod sword on the water veins obtained from the old swordsmith to wait for the flood to pass and make a fortune in the disaster year.

"The reason why Di Gong Gate collapses every four years with strange regularity is caused by Liu Ziwen and the Liu family, and the Burning Sky Shark Oil was also arranged by the Liu family under the command of the Jade Lady Fairy.

"Senior Brother, this is what happened when the flood gate collapsed in April when you were in bed at Donglin Temple to recuperate."

She looked anxious and spoke faster and faster, shaking out the secrets of the Liu family that she had learned from the Jade Lady Fairy like beans.

Ouyang Rong's face gradually became solemn and he suddenly asked:

"The Jade Fairy has been comatose for so long, and Liu Ziwen is already dead. Could it be that the tripod sword has been stopped..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xie Lingjiang pursed his lower lip and tacitly said for him: "Yes, it is very likely that Liu Zian is still secretly forging swords."

She turned her head and saw her elder brother frowning. He was pacing in circles, seeming to be talking to himself, and a murmur came:

"Over the years, the Liu family has been secretly forging tripod swords? Is it with the Wei family? Is it supported by the forces in Luoyang? Then... it makes sense, Liu Ziwen, Liu Ziwen, no wonder you are so bold.

"For the sake of the Liu family, you are really willing to do anything, and you can tolerate anything, even if you are suspected of being wrongly killed by your own brother, you will not reveal anything...

"So, now Liu Zian is taking over the sword making. Yes, that should be the case. Liu Zian is the current head of the family. I teamed up with everyone to dismember the Liu family. No wonder he is willing to sacrifice most of the important family property and lose face to keep the Guyue Sword.

Shop, and later on, he was so courteous to me and the county government.

"Liu Zian, Liu Zian, you are so patient and pretend to be humble. You are different from the wolf-like Liu Ziwen. You are more like a poisonous snake, trying to bite people...

"Then who is the person you want to bite now? Well, it should be me. You and the Liu family have been waiting for the Dingjian to be born?"

Xie Lingjiang saw the complex expression on his senior brother's eyebrows, which was furrowed and suddenly enlightened.

She lowered her head slightly, looking ashamed:

"Senior brother, the guess you told me a long time ago is right. It's all because of junior sister's stupidity and slowness. You don't know how to practice qi, so you can only let me advise you.

"But I firmly denied it at the time. I felt that the Cauldron Sword was too far away and absurd. How could the Liu family of Dragon City possibly swallow an elephant... As a result, I misled you, senior brother, and missed the truth."

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"It's not entirely your fault. If it weren't for the people involved in the Liu family, no one would have thought that the Liu family could forge the legendary tripod sword.

"And last time, I was worried and still went to search the sword shop, but didn't I still come back empty-handed? Liu Ziwen, Liu Zian hid this Xinding sword too deeply."

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. After realizing something, he turned around and asked:

"The strange heavy rains at the end of the Meiyu season and the rising water upstream some time ago were also caused by this unformed tripod sword?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded directly without much hesitation:

"It's very possible! The time when the last flood in Yunmeng occurred was too close to now.

"Senior Brother, after the Jade Fairy regained consciousness, she revealed a very important piece of news.

"After she woke up, she asked me about the date and revealed that Liu Jiayu and Wei had agreed to pick up the sword on the fifteenth day of this month.

"The Jade Fairy also analyzed that the tripod sword will be released tomorrow, no later than twelve o'clock..."

Ouyang Rong wandered around twice, turned around and interrupted Xie Lingjiang's words:

"I said the rising water is moody... Then what are you waiting for? Let's go down the mountain quickly, don't wait any longer!" He frowned: "The sword is not yet completed, but it is like this, and the sword is completed, what else can it do? Isn't the water flooding the golden mountain?

Can Zhiyi Qu stop this mythical power..."

When it came to the flood, he had no hesitation in his mind, grabbed the skirt knife handed by his junior sister with his big hand, and tied it around his waist.

Touching the familiar skirt knife, Ouyang Rong subconsciously touched the jade handle with his palm and took a deep breath on the spot.

For some reason, he reached out again to take over the heavy burden "handled" by his junior sister. He suddenly felt relaxed and energetic.

Just like when I was a student, I was sitting in a drowsy morning reading class. Suddenly, the clear ringing of the bell for the end of get out of class came from outside, and my sleepiness was swept away.

Maybe... he found another reason to stay temporarily for his reluctance?

When Xie Lingjiang saw this, he hesitated to speak: "Elder brother..."

"Why are you still standing there, little junior sister? Let's go and stop the Liu family from forging swords... Oh, that's right."

Ouyang Rong was about to charge with his sword. He took a breath and said with a sudden look on his face:

"You haven't said what the bad news is yet?"

Xie Lingjiang whispered:

"The Jade Fairy I interrogated yesterday has been looking for you for more than ten hours..."

Ouyang Rong:???

At this moment, a gust of morning breeze blew, which highlighted the silence of the atmosphere.

In the Donglin Temple of Dagushan, a hundred miles away from Longcheng County, Ouyang Rong raised his head and glanced at the sky.

Blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine.

Xie Lingjiang was about to speak, but he suddenly caught something in his peripheral vision, turned his head suddenly, and jumped up to the eaves on the top of the Buddhist hall.

Tapping the cornice with her right toe, she looked far down the mountain at the west bank of Butterfly Creek and at the sky above the small solitary mountain that seemed to have a sword furnace halfway up the mountain.

Confucian readers look up at the Qi.

Xie Lingjiang gradually widened his eyes: "Oh no, this sword energy... Senior brother, we seem to be too late."

"What are you looking at?"

Below, Ouyang Rong tried to jump and looked in the direction of Xie Lingjiang's line of sight.

I saw the sky on the west bank of Butterfly Creek, blue sky and white clouds, ordinary and ordinary.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly lowered his head and said, "Elder brother mentioned before that he was leaking vitality, have you fixed it?"

As she spoke, she silently reached into the folds of her round breasts and took out a simple jade box.

Open silently.

Gently twist the green onion with two fingers.

Ouyang Rong below was speechless when he heard the words, "What time has it been? Junior sister is still joking... Uh-huh!"

A red shadow flashed before his eyes, and Ouyang Rong's words were stagnant, as if his mouth was blocked.

"Hmm..." He bent down, his Adam's apple bulging, he covered his mouth with both hands, and some difficult swallowing sounds came from between his fingers.

Xie Lingjiang handed over the water bag, and Ouyang Rong took it and drank like a life-saving straw. He swallowed a round object in one gulp. He covered his mouth and coughed, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Ahem, cough, cough, you...you put something in my mouth, what kind of weird smell, bah, bah, bah."

Ouyang Rong stared speechlessly, digging with his fingers and trying to vomit.

But the pill has entered the stomach.

He slowly paused in his words and looked down at himself.

Do not know why.

It seems like something has changed.

But Ouyang Rong didn't know what it was.

His face gradually turned red, and he couldn't help but reach out and pull open his tight collar to let some air in.

"Why does it feel like it's getting hotter and hotter?"

Ouyang Rong found that his whole body was warm.

This is not a physical warmth, but a trembling warmth that goes deep into the bone marrow and even the soul.

His body was like a room with open doors and windows. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. Now there was a "ding" sound and the doors and windows were closed tightly.

The space is closed and the temperature gradually rises.

Xie Lingjiang took out the lavender handkerchief and silently wiped the mouth of the senior brother who no longer "leaked vitality".

Ouyang Rong frowned and lowered his head, but did not react for a moment as his junior sister's fragrant handkerchief wiped his mouth.

There was even a smell of pickled radish in his mouth that had been wiped with the lavender perfume handkerchief, and he temporarily ignored the source.

It wasn't until Xie Lingjiang put away his handkerchief and grabbed Ouyang Rong's big hand with his bare hands that he turned his head and frowned.

"Elder brother comes to visit himself."
