Chapter 912: Treasure of the Town
Taoist Lengquan looked stunned and speechless.
He pondered for a while and finally made up his mind.
"Lin Feng, I know you are a rare genius. I wanted to rely on you to carry forward the Yuquan Temple, but who knew it would bring disaster. If it weren't for your uncle, I wouldn't want to keep you..."
Lin Feng nodded quickly: "I know, I know, I can't stand such great pressure, let me fend for myself."
Lengquan gritted his teeth and said with a look of disappointment.
"How can you act so recklessly? You don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. Oh..."
He covered his cheek and gasped as if he had a toothache.
Lin Feng was helpless. "Uncle Master, please don't sigh. Don't worry, no matter who comes looking for me, I will cut off all ties with Yuquan Temple."
Lengquan looked at Lin Feng with regret, and shook his head after a moment.
"Lin Feng, Yuquan Temple has been passed down to Lengquan's generation for nearly a thousand years. If I weren't worried about it being destroyed in my hands, I would really like to fight them."
"Let me be the pioneer for Yuquan Temple, and you can just sit back and watch the situation unfold."
Leng Quan reached out and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.
"Master knows that you are a rare disciple. Here is a treasure of Yuquan Temple. Master will give it to you. Perhaps it can save your life."
As he spoke, he took out a long package from his arms and stuffed it into Lin Feng's hand.
"Lin Feng, take care of yourself."
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Feng to reply, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the house dejectedly.
When he walked up to Duanmu Tai, he squatted down, felt the other's breath with his hand, and then stared blankly at the Kunyu Mountain disciple who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head down and motionless.
After a while, he reached out and lifted up Duanmu Tai's clothes and took a look.
There were countless blood holes densely packed between Duanmu Tai's chest and abdomen, like the holes in a sieve. The blood on them had coagulated and was no longer bleeding.
Lin Feng didn't pay any attention to this person at all. He felt that at such a close distance, anyone hit by that shot would die unless he was a god.
Lengquan approached Lin Feng again and whispered.
"Just deal with it. Don't admit it even if you kill me."
After leaving these words, he turned around and walked away.
Lin Feng also agreed with his way of handling the matter. The masters of these hermit sects were all very conceited and often liked to be alone. They rarely traveled in groups.
Without any instructions, Pei Qiyin had already ordered several guards to find a mat, wrap the body in it, and carry it away.
Lin Feng walked out of the courtyard and led his men back.
After returning to the room in the inn, Lin Fengcai took out the treasure given to him by Taoist Lengquan and solemnly opened the package.
The silk package was wrapped in two layers. When it was unfolded, there was a black short knife inside. It looked like it was covered with thick rust, dark and lifeless.
Pei Qiyin also came over and lowered his head to observe carefully.
After a while, he looked up at Lin Feng.
"General, this is the treasure of Yuquan Temple?"
Lin Feng also frowned, reached out to pick up the dagger, and pressed his wrist a little.
The weight doesn't match the material. Even if it's an iron dagger, it shouldn't be this heavy.
"This short sword is quite common."
"General, this is a short sword."
Pei Qiyin looked at it carefully and said affirmatively.
Lin Feng handed the dagger to Pei Qiyin.
"Okay, you can keep this treasure."
"what?"
Pei Qiyin had no choice but to take the dagger and almost dropped it to the ground.
"Oh, it's so heavy, how can I carry it?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Just by looking at its weight, you can tell that this sword is extraordinary. Please keep it well."
Pei Qiyin rolled his eyes.
It turned out that every time she went out, she would bring Lin Feng's steel knife, pistol, bow and other weapons and equipment. Now that Qiao Jushan has finally come, she has to carry all these things.
The thing that originally felt very heavy did not add much weight to Qiao Jushan after being placed on him, and was completely negligible.
Lin Feng sat behind the desk, holding a cup of tea, thinking about how to speed up the action of regaining the southern area of Dazong.
A guard came in to report.
"General, the prefect of Jingnan Prefecture, Zhao Chuanzhi, is here to pay his respects."
Lin Feng nodded: "You are welcome."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the door, ready to greet him.
Zhao Chuanzhi and Nangong Yan managed the Jingnan Prefecture City quite well. They resisted the temptation of Zhao Zheng and were not afraid of the harassment of pirates. They did their best to ensure that the people in the city lived in peace.
Lin Feng still had some respect in his heart.
Led by the guards, Zhao Chuanzhi quickly came to the door of Lin Feng's residence and bowed.
"Oh, my Lord, you are embarrassing me."
Lin Feng said with a smile: "Since Lord Zhao is here, how dare Lin Feng just sit and wait and ignore him? Please come in."
The two of them entered the house with politeness and sat down as host and guest.
Zhao Chuanzhi held the hot tea and looked around the room.
"I wonder if the Duke has found a place to stay?"
"I'm fine. Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your care."
"Alas, with the continuous wars, the city is no longer as good as it used to be. The conditions are simple. I beg you to bear with me, Duke."
"Master Zhao, there's no need to be polite. I'll be leaving in two days."
Zhao Chuanzhi smiled wryly, "My Lord, I'm here just for this matter. There are more and more pirates outside the city right now, and they're harassing the counties and towns of Jingnan Prefecture. I'm really annoyed. Since my Lord is here, could you please ask the Zhenxi Army to lend a hand?"
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Master Zhao, the Zhenxi Army is joining forces with the Zhennan Army, totaling 40,000 troops, to launch a crackdown on pirates from Jinhao Prefecture and Jinghai Prefecture. I believe we will be able to capture Funing Prefecture soon and restore peace to Jingnan Prefecture."
Zhao Chuanzhi smiled bitterly, "My Lord, in the past, the Taoist priests at Yuquan Temple were able to suppress those brutal pirates. But now, for some reason, the pirates are rampant and no longer care about Yufu Mountain. The pirates outside the city are beginning to make moves towards Jingnan Prefecture, and are showing signs of attacking the city."
Lin Feng frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. With the Zhenxi Army and Zhennan Army holding them back, they shouldn't have time to worry about Jingnan City. How could they open up another battlefield?"
Zhao Chuanzhi leaned forward and lowered his voice.
"My Lord, I have also asked the Taoist priest at Yuquan Temple, but he has not given me a clear answer. It's just..."
"how?"
"They asked me to come and see the Duke."
When Lin Feng heard this, he was speechless.
It turned out that this Magistrate Zhao's visit was assigned by Yuquan Temple.
So what exactly does Master Lengquan mean?
He distanced himself from Yuquan Temple, and then asked me to help Jingnan City resist pirates. Why should I work for you?
Pei Qiyin understood Lin Feng's hesitation, and while serving tea and water, he deliberately showed Lin Feng the dagger hanging on his waist.
She had already sewn a leather case, placed the black dagger, the treasure of Yuquan Temple, in the case, and hung it around her waist, not daring to leave it for a moment.
Although the dagger is heavy, the responsibility of taking care of it is even heavier, and Pei Qiyin must take it seriously.
Lin Feng's eyes turned to Pei Qiyin's waist. The dangling leather holster was very exquisite, even more exquisite than his own pistol holster.
It turns out that Taoist Lengquan gave himself such a treasure, which contained even more tricks.
If possible, I would rather not have this broken thing.
