The light is getting dimmer.
When Ouyang Ming returned to the small courtyard, it was already dark.
Jiang Qingcheng sat on the threshold of the door, with tears in her eyes and a look of grievance on her face.
When he saw Ou Yangming, his little face suddenly drooped, and tears rolled in his eyes. It seemed that he would burst into tears if he didn't agree with him. He whispered: "Uncle Yu." After that, he rushed over to him.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Ming asked softly, not caring about this troublesome title.
Xiao Nizi took a few breaths of air-conditioning, opened her eyes wide, and asked, "Is Grandpa He gone?"
"Yes, the sword cultivator can't let go of the sword in his heart. He has lost his sword for a long time and has to get it back. Only then will the real sword god return. If there is concern in his heart, no matter how pure the sword intention is , the power cannot be the strongest," Ou Yangming replied.
Jiang Qingcheng nodded as if she understood, turned her palm over, and took out a delicate carving knife from her sleeve.
The carving knife is about three inches long, extremely small, exquisite in workmanship, and cold. At first glance, it is not extraordinary.
She shook the carving knife in her hand, opened her eyes wide, and said, "This was given to Xiaoman by the elder of the inner sect of the Jiang family a few days ago. He was thinking about it, you gave it to him, no?" If you're willing to change it, I'll take it temporarily. Here, give it to him."
Ouyang Ming's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, it's good to work with smart people, there's no need to waste your breath.
He knew that this was the Jiang family's show of goodwill to him, and Xiaoman also understood it, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for him, so he refused. But Jiang Qingcheng is also a wonderful person, and he can actually see through the key.
Ouyang Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, none of the disciples of the great family were simple. In this way, he doesn't need to waste any more words, he just needs to wait for the other party to come to the door. He believed that when Jiang Liuche saw Master He Jian Breakthrough, it was impossible for him to have no idea in his heart.
His movements were not slow, he raised his hand to borrow the carving knife and said with a smile: "Qingcheng is so smart."
When Jiang Qingcheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if the sky had changed. The bitterness on his face disappeared and he asked with a smile: "Really?"
"Really." Ouyang Ming answered affirmatively.
Jiang Qingcheng jumped up and down and walked towards the house.
In the main hall, Xiaoman was sitting upright, with a calm face and a mellow spirit. At such a young age, there was already a feeling of a dragon and a tiger competing above his head.
Holding a carving knife in his hand, he was carving wood carvings. Each knife was carving into the Taoist heart and carving into the hostility in his heart.
After Xiaoman saw Ouyang Ming, he stopped moving, put away the carving knife, and asked softly: "Grandpa He is gone?"
Jiang Qingcheng rolled her beautiful eyes and answered first: "Let's go! I knew it before you did." As he said this, there was a proud look on his face.
Xiaoman's face was calm and he ignored Jiang Qingcheng.
Ou Yangming looked at it and chuckled, then slipped the carving knife out of his sleeve and handed it over: "Take it."
"Okay." Xiaoman glanced at Ouyang Ming quietly, moved gently, and put the carving knife away solemnly.
This scene made Jiang Qingcheng's teeth itch with anger. She pouted and snorted, saying: "Xiaoman treats me differently, it's so unfair! I gave it to you and you didn't take it. Brother Yu gave it to you and you didn't say anything. , then continued, hum..."
Calling "Uncle Yu" in front of Xiaoman obviously made him a generation shorter, which she didn't want to see. Therefore, I came up with a compromise method, calling Xiaoman "big brother" in front of Xiaoman, and "uncle" when Xiaoman is behind his back. When she thought of this method, she was still complacent for a long time and didn't sleep all night.
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiaoman provocatively.
Xiaoman turned a deaf ear and looked up out of the window.
Looking at the two of them, Ouyang Ming felt peaceful. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a beautiful feeling came into his heart.
※※※※
Jiang Liuche paced back and forth in the study, with a hint of eagerness between his brows.
In the study, purple smoke rises from an incense burner. What is burning in the burner is the agarwood unique to the Great Ruins, which can dredge the meridians and calm the mind to nourish the Qi. In the entire Great Ruins, there are many aristocratic families who can afford to burn ashes every day, but not many.
Of course, for a wealthy family like the Jiang family, it is not painful or itchy.
There is a calligraphy hanging in the middle of the study, which is said to have been written by the founder of the Jiang family himself.
A big word "quiet", like a chasm, penetrating into the wood, even with a bit of Taoist rhyme, can make people feel calm, forget about things and themselves, and fall into a wonderful state.
But at this time, even looking at this large character with Dao rhyme still couldn't calm Jiang Liuche's heart.
He took a look at the sky, walked to the desk, lightly rubbed the ink, placed a piece of good emblem rice paper, dipped the ink on it, and wrote two couplets:
"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."
"The terrain is poor, and a gentleman carries his wealth with kindness."
Even so, his heart still couldn't calm down. Generally speaking, those who can be worthy of being the head of a big family are those who have thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake. But at this moment, Jiang Liuche's heart was in turmoil. After all, what this is about is whether he can step into the realm of the venerable. If he doesn't become the venerable, he will end up being an ant. This temptation is really too great.
He sat in front of the desk, tapping his fingers on the table regularly, making a thumping sound, and even the ink grinded in the inkstone made tiny ripples.
Just when his patience was about to wear thin, the long-awaited knock on the door and Jiang Yingrong's cold voice came in at the same time.
"Dad, I am Yingrong."
"Come in, come in." Jiang Liuche's voice was urgent and he stood up to open the door.
Jiang Yingrong is dressed in red, with curvy body and charming face, especially her collarbone, which is indescribably delicate.
Jiang Liuche smiled and said with emotion: "After all these years, you still like to wear red."
Jiang Yingrong raised her jade steps and said with a smile: "When I was a child, my mother told me that Jiangnan is good and it is best to wear red clothes."
Jiang Liuche's expression darkened and he didn't answer. He walked to the desk and sat down. There were thousands of words brewing in my heart, but when I really wanted to speak, nothing came out, as if my throat was blocked by something. Just because Jiang Yingrong mentioned her mother, the woman he loved and hated.
Jiang Yingrong closed the door and sat opposite Jiang Liuche. She looked at the words on the desk. The ink was not yet dry, so it was obvious that she had just written it recently. Turning his eyes, he took the initiative to say: "Dad's calligraphy is getting better and better day by day, and he is not far away from Dacheng."
"If you can't even meditate, how can you talk about success?" Jiang Liuche brought up the topic.
Jiang Yingrong was kind-hearted, and of course she understood what he meant, so she followed up and said: "Stepping into the Supreme Being is the pursuit of every spiritual person. In the face of temptation, it is understandable that one's heart will not calm down. Human nature is evil, It is impossible to get rid of greed, anger, ignorance, and desire, but will get deeper and deeper.”
Jiang Liuche nodded slightly and asked, "Is He Jian's breakthrough to the Supreme Being related to Yu Tianrui?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yingrong's expression became serious and she replied: "Yes, it does matter. Brother Yu is the most talented person among all the people I know. He can dominate Daozi without any problems."
"Of course, otherwise how could it be possible to break the venerable tiger's mouth?" Jiang Liuche nodded and agreed softly.
"That's not what I meant." There were overlapping patterns in Jiang Yingrong's pupils, which looked extremely deep.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Liuche stared at his daughter with burning eyes.
"The breadth and breadth of the knowledge he knows!" Jiang Yingrong said every word, and before she finished speaking, she explained: "When we met in the ancient city, he was an alchemist, and the elixirs he refined were extremely powerful. "
Jiang Liuche's pupils shrank slightly, and he touched his chin with his fingers, gesturing for her to continue speaking.
"Later, I discovered that he was very accomplished in weapon refining. How should I put it? Oh, by the way, he returned to his original nature and pursued simplicity. Whether he is round or square, it all depends on one thought." Jiang Yingrong continued.
"Weapon refining?" The light in Jiang Liuche's eyes became a little brighter, as if a ball of flame was burning.
"Well, refining the weapon, refining the magic weapon that absorbs the power of the heavenly tribulation." She exhaled softly, the sound was not loud, but when it fell into Jiang Liuche's ears, it was like thunder, making his mind roar, and there was only one thought in his mind, What magical weapon can actually absorb the power of heavenly calamity? This... isn't this incredible
After a full ten breaths, his thoughts calmed down.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Jiang Yingrong spoke again: "And it can absorb 75% of the power of the heavenly tribulation." When she said this, she looked out the window, with shock in her eyes.
"What?" Jiang Liuche thought he heard wrongly, and his heart jumped into his throat.
"It's true. Senior He passed through six heavenly tribulations, and the array blocked two. The remaining four were absorbed by the anti-thunder suit. More than 70% of them were absorbed by the anti-thunder suit. After passing through the heavenly tribulation, Senior He was unscathed and even had no ability to resist lightning. The suit still has charm." Jiang Yingrong spoke quickly and breathed quickly.
After hearing this, Jiang Liuche's face turned red, his body was shaking, and there were no thoughts in his mind.
After all, such a thing was too appalling. No matter how big his mind was, he had never thought of it before.
After a long time, he finally came to his senses. Everything he had heard before was like a myth to him.
He let out a heavy breath, stared at his daughter with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Then tell me, if I ask him for help, is it... is it possible?"
Jiang Yingrong did not answer immediately. She thought for a while and said softly: "Brother Yu is very measured in his behavior and very generous. He cannot treat his own people badly. But this kind of thing is too important. I Not sure, but at least 60% hopeful.”
"Sixty percent?" Jiang Liuche chewed the word carefully. After a moment, he said softly: "The 60% hope is not low anymore."
Jiang Yingrong nodded slightly and said, "I'll go check it out later. After all, this matter is too important."
"Well, it should be so." Jiang Liuche made the final decision.
Jiang Yingrong stood up slowly, took two steps lightly, then turned around and said, "Xiao Man, I want to teach him personally..."
Jiang Liuche nodded slightly and agreed naturally. He naturally understood that this was to show his kindness to Ouyang Ming, and he could not object to it in any case.
