"Da Lang doesn't look good."

After a pause, Ouyang Rong turned around and asked seriously: "You want to go to Yunshui Pavilion for tea? Why don't you call me?"

"..." Li Fusu.

"Don't be kidding, Tanlang." He rubbed the dark bags under his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I prayed for my grandmother, and I had some insomnia at night."

Ouyang Rong looked strange: "Are you really stupid enough to pray for her?"

Li Fusu scratched his head: "My father stays at the pagoda day and night to pray for blessings. As a son of man, I can't hide away and eat and drink well. I have to be with him."

Speaking of this, the bearded young man looked worried and looked a little haggard:

"My father is also very tired. The date set by Liang Han to report the auspiciousness is getting closer and closer. My father has been a little restless recently. I have to stay with him."

Ouyang Rong smiled:

"Your father can't help it, so that's okay, but don't let your uncle fall ill before you fall ill first. It's useless for you to fall ill. If grandma doesn't kiss you, uncle won't love you."

"..."

"If you are tired and can't sleep, Suanzaoren Decoction is the best remedy. You can try it."

Li Fusu was different: "Can Tanlang still have medical skills?"

"I have read a few medical books and prescriptions recently and learned some. People can't..." The young county magistrate said calmly:

"Sometimes you don't even know what kind of injuries or illnesses you have. You just listen to others."

Without saying a word, Ouyang Rong and Li Fusu separated in front of the pagoda as usual.

The early sun at eight or nine in the morning shone brightly on a brand new and solemn pagoda in front of the two of them.

The hundred-foot tower body, with high eaves and teeth, is magnificent and magnificent, with countless glazed tiles shining brightly.

Li Fusu walked into the pagoda where the faint sound of solemn chanting could be heard, and went to find Master Li Xian and Shandao to start a new day of praying and chanting.

Ouyang Rong, who was familiar with the road, bypassed the tower and stopped in front of a familiar wellhead behind the tower with his hands behind his back.

He lowered his eyes at the ancient well in the underground palace, then looked back at the golden pagoda that had just been completed two days ago, and murmured in a low voice:

"Is it built a little too far? In other words, the lotus pagoda back then was probably built above the entrance to the underground palace, right?

"However, if it were built exactly according to the old site and blocked the sun, wouldn't it be pitch black underneath? I don't know if everyone has no sun, how can this be done...

"The pagoda built by me is called all-round humanistic care. A small step for the pagoda is a big step for merit.

"So, little wooden fish, please give me more merit."

Ouyang Rong smiled.

He was quite satisfied with the largest pagoda in the south of the Yangtze River, which was built strictly according to the scale of the lotus pagoda.

During these days, in addition to the necessary official duties of the county government, Ouyang Rong spent most of his time in Donglin Temple, supervising the construction of this pagoda, which was built from scratch.

It's like watching it rise tall.

The new pagoda was built very quickly.

Thanks to the free ride created by the large-scale construction of water canals and docks in Longcheng County in the first half of the year.

There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen and young laborers in Shanxia County. As long as the Su government's silver is in place, the scale and speed of the pagoda will not be a problem.

As for the Buddha statues and tablets enshrined in the pagoda, they are of course the various titles and Buddhist titles that Her Majesty the Queen proclaimed herself.

The face of the large Buddha statue in the center of the pagoda is also modeled after Her Majesty the Queen's dragon face.

It is completely customized according to the template of this "sage".

The only problem in someone's mind is that His Majesty's titles are too many and too long.

For those who didn’t know, I thought there were many people enshrined in the pagoda. Fortunately, the new pagoda is big enough to accommodate them all.

Ouyang Rong twitched the corner of his mouth.

In addition, even though it is a Buddhist pure land, the decorations inside the pagoda are very luxurious and expensive.

In Li Xian's words, the queen mother must like it.

At present, the brand-new and towering pagoda has become the new landmark of Donglin Temple.

Master Shandao had a dream at night, which made him smile crookedly.

But Mrs. Weber, the accountant down the mountain who came out with the money, couldn't help but have a look of pain on her face.

It was just that he didn't show it at all in front of Ouyang Rong, but who knew the sighs behind the housekeeper's back?

As for Li Xian and Li Dalang, they are not housekeepers and are not very sensitive to money matters. The father and son have great trust in a certain weak-headed counselor who has gone through a lot of hard work to get him. They treat him as a gentleman and obey his words.

As for Miss Li, who was also in charge of the accounts, she was a little unexpectedly calm. She cooperated with Ouyang Rong's actions tacitly and did not show any signs of physical pain or complaint.

In the Su Mansion on Luming Street, people come in and out every day, moving boxes containing precious calligraphy and paintings away.

It was this little lady from Li who was silently pawning her birthday gift.

These days, Ouyang Rong's three meals and snacks every day are all provided by Su Mansion, and he never misses them.

With sharp eyes, he saw that as the construction progress of the new pagoda was gradually completed, the daily food standards of Wei Mei mother and daughter and Li Xian father and son were visibly reduced.

Li Xian and Li Dalang, who were guarding the temple, began to go out early and come back late to enjoy the morning and evening fast meals at Donglin Temple.

However, the meal specifications that Wei Mei, Li Guoer and her daughter personally delivered to Ouyang Rong every day did not change at all and were on time every day.

Ouyang Rong saw all this and said nothing.

On the contrary, the food tastes quite delicious. After all, happiness comes from unevenness. Well, if these two guys, Li Dalang and Yan Liulang, didn't come over to him from time to time and take advantage of him...

"Looking at the letter sent from Jiangzhou a few days ago, the junior sister should be back soon."

In front of the wellhead surrounded by stone railings, Ouyang Rong touched the skirt knife on his waist with his palm, muttered to himself, and jumped over the railing gracefully.

At present, the new pagoda and the saint Buddha statue have been completely completed.

Li Xian, Li Dalang, in the name of filial piety, followed a group of eminent monks from Donglin Temple, including Master Shandao, to pray day and night for Her Majesty the Queen in the capital.

At the same time, a certain brocade box "containing jade" sent by the Queen was being sealed with a seal, enshrined in front of the Buddha, and enjoyed the incense.

As for the junior sister, the latest news is that she secretly purchased the jade from Guangzhou Prefecture on Lingnan Road three days ago and returned to Jiangzhou.

However, she did not return to Longcheng immediately. She only stayed in Jiangzhou City for half a day, left a message to report that she was safe and the jade purchase went smoothly, and then rushed to Gezao Mountain to seek elixirs without stopping.

Now that the work of supervising the construction of the pagoda was completed, Ouyang Rong suddenly felt free.

Every day, apart from cheering up a timid old county magistrate, persuading him, and drawing big cakes, he would spend his free time wandering around the Pure Land Palace like now.

Seeing that no one was passing by the wellhead, Ouyang Rong turned over, quickly went down the well, and entered the underground palace.

After activating a certain haggard monk on a daily basis, Ouyang Rong quickly skipped the daily task-like questions and answers from Master Ignorance.

He took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it over. The haggard monk stopped, walked aside happily, sat down on the ground, and tasted it.

Ouyang Rong turned around, walked aside, and pulled out a long sword from his waist.

He used the dim moonlight on the sword as a 'torch' and carefully walked around the claustrophobic underground palace.

"It stands to reason that after Master Zhongma died, it should have stayed in the underground palace."

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly and thought to himself.

He often revisits his old places recently, not to accompany the crazy monk Xiuzhen.

Rather, I am exploring something that is close to my heart.

After Ouyang Rong recovered from his illness and came down from the mountain, he reorganized these days and reviewed all the things that happened after he returned to Laixi from activation that day.

He suddenly discovered something he had overlooked.

If the engraved message written by Master Ma on the wall of the underground palace is true, it is not deceiving.

So, didn’t the new tripod sword that Master Zhongma stole from the Mad Emperor stay in the underground palace?

In other words, are you still in Donglin Temple?

According to Ouyang Rong Jiehu's "craftsmanship" experience, Master Zhongma originally took advantage of the tripod sword born in Butterfly Creek and used the entire Dragon City as a sword furnace to wash the sword for the first time.

Master Zhongma hid in the underground palace, and used the sword technique, real name and other conditions first to summon the New Cauldron Sword and successfully intercepted the Mad Emperor Sui.

Later, the mad emperor set fire to the temple and flooded the lotus pagoda. Master Zhongma was still hiding in the Pure Land Palace, suffocated to death by the choking and hot black mist, and he did not come out.

Therefore, the tripod sword whose true name is unknown is still left in the Pure Land Palace.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and glanced at the Moonlight Sword.

He was originally very doubtful whether this strange long sword was the unknown cauldron sword.

The reason is that the hazy moonlight emitted by its sword body can strangely activate the moonlight stone carvings on the walls of the underground palace.

As for these stone carvings, Ouyang Rong guessed based on the phantom image of Master Zhongma that day that they were probably carved with the unknown cauldron sword.

So... this stone carving light, which is similar to the cold moonlight, is the sword energy of the unknown cauldron sword?

And because the moonlight emitted by the Moonlight Sword has some kind of homologous connection with it, it can inspire the Moonlight Sword Qi in the stone carvings that has been dormant for decades?

From this point of view, there is a high probability that the Moonlight Sword is the unknown tripod sword.
