Ouyang Rong smiled and said nothing.

Ah Qing suddenly pulled the hem of his Confucian shirt, lowered his head and looked carefully:

"It seems to be too big for me. Brother, have you lost weight? This dress I made last year is too big for me."

"Well, isn't that what clothes are like? The bigger they get, the more comfortable they are."

"No, I often appear in public, so I need to look decent and my clothes must fit well."

After saying that, without giving him time to refute, Ah Qing immediately squatted down, deftly opened the sewing kit, took out the tools, and said solemnly:

"Let me measure it for my brother."

"Ah? How do you measure it?"

She averted her gaze slightly and said, "Brother, open your arms wider."

"Oh." Ouyang Rong subconsciously spread his arms.

Ah Qing took a small step forward, got into his arms, stood on tiptoes, and hugged him.

Ouyang Rong also didn't understand the process of these tailors measuring clothes, so he had to let her do it, but he always felt that Ah Qing was a little slow this time.

Hug him for a long time.

"Is Ah Qing okay?"

"Uh-huh."

The girl finally took it slowly and slowly.

The two separated.

The little girl squatted down and quietly put away her sewing kit. She didn't know if it was due to the strong sun above her head. Under the sun, an ear bead between her neck seemed to be congested, like a red agate through the sunlight.

The two chatted about Liu's mother's health.

At this time, Ah Qing's eyes fell on the orchids on the windowsill, and he said with a smile:

"Brother is very careful and provides ventilation and sunshine for it. The last time I came here, it was rainy, so I closed the doors and windows.

"Come here today. I'm about to open it. Let me take the first step."

Ouyang Rong's expression was stunned:

"That's how it was when I came here. The window was open. Didn't you open it?"

Ah Qing was stunned and shook his head: "I didn't, I thought it was my brother who drove it."

Ouyang Rong frowned and said nothing.

"Could it be that other cleaning women came in to clean it?"

Ah Qing lowered his head and counted the days with his fingers:

"They come here every half month, and the most recent one... happened to be here the day before yesterday, but they don't have the key to the Meilin Courtyard, only the key to the main gate of Meiluyuan."

As he said this, Ah Qing took out a pair of keys from his sleeve and looked at it doubtfully.

"Is it possible that they came in over the wall? They saw the orchid indoors and opened the window for ventilation..."

Ouyang Rong remained silent and glanced at the budding orchid on the window sill.

If not them, who would come?

Could it be the junior sister? Impossible, the junior sister has been in Xunyang City, and so have King Xunyang’s family.

But apart from them, who else is familiar with his yard?

Moreover, only Ouyang Rong and Ah Qing have the keys to the Meilin courtyard, and others can only climb over the wall.

If it is said that strangers or enemies came to search the front wall, it can be explained, but if it is a good person, it will be searched, so what is the use of ventilating the orchids he raises?

Could it be that the enemy happens to be a lover of Lan?

This is a bit ridiculous.

Moreover, Ah Qing comes every three days, and the last time he came was three days ago. This means that the person who opens the window sill and helps ventilate the orchids will not stay in the Meilin Courtyard for more than three days.

Ouyang Rong was deep in thought.

Ah Qing looked at the orchid soil curiously and spoke again:

"We have already watered it, there is no need to water it again today."

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly and said, "I didn't pour the water. The person who poured the water should be the same person who opened the window."

Without waiting for Ah Qing to say anything, he suddenly asked Ah Qing:

"Has that bearded girl with blond hair like a candle ever looked for you again?"

"No."

Ah Qing shook his head.

Ouyang Rong nodded slowly and walked into the house with Ah Qing.

Before entering the house, he turned to look at the key in A Qing's hand.

Ouyang Rong suddenly remembered that he had indeed given an "outsider" the key to the Meilin courtyard with good intentions, but he later returned it.

…

night.

Dagushan, Donglin Temple.

In the backyard of Beitian Alms Home, beside a dry well.

A slender figure appeared again.

With a long sword on his waist and a pastry box in his hand, he walked to the well, skillfully grabbed the rope and slid into the well.

After meeting Ah Qing in the afternoon, Ouyang Rong went back to Sanhuiyuan with her to visit Mother Liu.

We had dinner at Sanhuiyuan and stayed overnight at Donglin Temple.

At midnight, the old night owl Ouyang Rong quietly got up and rushed to the Pure Land Palace without waking up the girls from Sanhuiyuan. This was also the real purpose of this trip.

My toes just touched the floor of the Pure Land Palace.

"Donor, there is an endless hell above..."

A young monk with dull eyes immediately got up from the ground, his gray monk clothes were dirty, and he stepped forward with his palms raised.

But the next moment, his words were stuck, because an open box of fragrant pastry was hooked by someone's two fingers and was dangling in the air... The dirty monk stared straight at the pastry box and swallowed.

"If I brought sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the Eternal Hell, how would you respond, Master?" Ouyang Rong asked seriously.

Xiu Zhen calmed down, hugged the food box, and walked aside blankly. Her dirty black hands directly reached into the box, scooped up the cakes, put them into her mouth, tasted the sweetness, and grinned.

Ouyang Rong also smiled and drew out the moonlight sword from his waist.

His face calmed down, he held a luminous pearl relic in his other hand, and walked step by step towards the wall with the portrait of Buddha Jataka.

When Master Zhong Ma was trapped in the underground palace, before he was suffocated by the thick smoke, he left the Hanshi Sword Technique "Return and Lai Ci" on the wall of the underground palace.

At that time, there was a fire in the lotus pagoda above the underground palace. The temperature in the underground palace was scorching hot and the smoke was billowing. What did Master Zhongma use to quickly carve a sword formula on the wall?

The most likely possibility is that the tripod sword forged by the Mad Emperor was stolen by Master Zhong Ma.

When the four-character stone inscription "Go Back Come Come" under the lotus stone pedestal is activated, it emits hazy moonlight together with the stone inscription "Go Go Lai Xi" on the wall. If you guessed correctly, it is the name of this mysterious tripod sword.

Sword energy!

Ouyang Rong glanced at the luminous pearl relic in his hand. The light it emitted under the moonlight was exactly the same as the moonlight sword energy on the wall!
