The reconstruction work in Luhua Town is still in full swing.
Jiang Dalong threw himself into it wholeheartedly, even personally directing his soldiers to work, his purpose being to win over the local townspeople and increase their goodwill.
I must say, the results are indeed quite good...
It is precisely because of the precedent set by Xu Dashuai that many people believe that Jiang Dalong came to Luhua Town with the intention of changing the place and bringing benefits to everyone.
Meanwhile, the investigation into Marshal Xu's hidden treasure is also underway.
Previously, they had dug up the secret room where Commander Xu had hidden his treasures at the foot of the mountain. On this day, Jiang Dalong found a map in the secret passage of Commander Xu's room.
When I opened it, I was instantly dumbfounded.
Without a second thought, he quickly handed over the remaining work to his subordinates and hurriedly rushed to the inn where Su Feng was.
……
Outside the inn's corridor, Qinghai stood hesitantly in front of Su Feng's room, unsure whether to go in.
Since the battle with the demon spirit that day, he could clearly sense the changes in Su Feng.
Unlike his previous approachable demeanor, he now exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay...
The gap between Qinghai and Su Feng also makes Qinghai feel somewhat ashamed and unsure how to face it.
"That's all..."
Qinghai made up his mind, took a deep breath, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when...
A sound came from inside the house.
"Come in, fellow Daoist from Qinghai."
As expected of Fellow Daoist Su!
Qinghai smiled and carefully pushed open the door.
During this period, Su Feng stayed in this room and rarely went out. He also did not participate in the reconstruction work proposed by Jiang Dalong.
He felt more like a strategist who was in charge of planning and strategizing from behind the scenes...
"Fellow Daoist Su..." Qinghai nodded respectfully and sat down gently on a chair to the side.
Facing Su Feng now, he felt inexplicably nervous.
He used to be able to joke around with Su Feng and discuss things together... but now he feels that there is a huge gap between them.
Perhaps it was because he had broken through his cultivation level that he could no longer look at Su Feng with the eyes of a normal person... he could only look up to him.
"What brings you here, Fellow Daoist Qinghai?" Su Feng sat on the edge of the bed reading a book, glancing up at Qinghai sitting by the coffee table.
Just a glance was enough to make Qinghai feel flustered.
"Actually, I came here to say goodbye to Fellow Daoist Su."
"Oh?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow and put down the scripture in his hand. "Is Fellow Daoist Qinghai leaving Deer Flower Town?"
Qinghai nodded. "Now that the White Lotus Sect matter has been resolved, the Demon Spirit, this great scourge, will no longer plague the world. There's nothing more for us to do here."
"It seems Fellow Daoist Qinghai still prefers a life of leisure and freedom..." Su Feng smiled thoughtfully, then asked, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qinghai would be interested in working with me?"
"At present, General Jiang is trying to absorb General Xu's power, and his followers also need to be dealt with. If Fellow Daoist Qinghai is here, it may be twice as effective with half the effort."
Although Qinghai's abilities are not considered high, he may not even reach the level of Chenyue and Chenxing in terms of Taoist arts.
But he is an upright person and very loyal.
In this world, you can't get by with just these rudimentary skills.
This time, Jiang Dalong was sent to absorb the troops stationed by Commander Xu in the towns surrounding Luhua Town. This trip was indeed somewhat dangerous, and a conflict might break out.
The presence of Qinghai officials could also provide some assistance.
Su Feng's suggestion surprised Qinghai.
"It's rare that Fellow Daoist Su values me so much..." Qinghai scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "But as Fellow Daoist Su said, I'm used to being a free spirit, and these rules and regulations don't really suit me."
“Everyone has their own ambitions. Fellow Daoist Qinghai has his own path to follow, so I will not force him to stay.” Su Feng picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea. “Then, I will use tea instead of wine to bid farewell to Fellow Daoist Qinghai.”
"You're too kind!"
Qinghai was flattered and quickly waved his hand.
As he spoke, he took out a package from his Qiankun bag and placed it on the table.
"This is the golden Buddha I took from Commander Xu's house. It's a pity that a corner broke off during the escape..."
Unwrapping the cloth covering it, a compassionate and solemn golden Buddha suddenly appeared before our eyes.
Su Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing something unusual.
Although the golden Buddha still shines brightly on the surface, the power it contains has faded considerably.
So it really is because of this broken corner...
“I originally intended to take this golden Buddha with me and find a craftsman to repair it, but after thinking about it, I feel it is more appropriate to leave it to Fellow Daoist Su.”
Qinghai smiled and gently pushed the golden Buddha over, "This golden Buddha contains boundless magical power and is a sacred object used to suppress the Five Demon Gu. I believe it will be better for Fellow Daoist Su to keep it safe."
Su Feng nodded with interest.
Although the golden Buddha's power was somewhat diminished due to its flaws, this was a minor matter...
There is nothing that cannot be solved by completing the puzzle.
"Then I'll accept it."
Without hesitation, Su Feng accepted it.
How could he possibly refuse such an unexpected treat?
"correct!"
At this moment, Qinghai seemed to remember something else, "I have something else I would like to give to Fellow Daoist Su!"
Chapter 194 The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra! Boundless Dharma Forms!
Qinghai took off the Qiankun bag and dumped all its contents onto the ground.
"Fellow Daoist Su, please wait a moment, there's quite a lot of stuff..."
Qinghai smiled sheepishly, then began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Quite a few things were poured out of this Qiankun bag...
Besides the clothes from Qinghai, there were also some leftover sesame cakes that he usually ate, which had already gone bad and were emitting a sour smell.
This shows how little he cares about personal hygiene...
After rummaging through countless things in Qinghai, they finally found a scripture book about half a finger thick among a pile of "scrap".
"This is……"
Su Feng only glanced at it, but his gaze was instantly drawn to it.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you flatter me. This scripture is something I found among my master's belongings, and I've kept it with me all this time..."
Qinghai seemed to be recalling the past, a faint sadness showing on his face. "More than ten years have passed, and I have read this scripture no less than dozens of times, but I have never been able to understand its mysteries."
He has a very clear understanding of his own abilities.
After years of learning from my master, I can only grasp the basics. No matter how hard I work or how diligent I am, I can't compare to the innate talent of others.
He spent six years learning a simple spell.
His poor comprehension is something he sometimes finds laughable.
Therefore, there is no point in keeping this scripture.
Qinghai looked up at Su Feng with a sincere expression, "If it's Fellow Daoist Su, I believe you'll definitely be able to figure it out!"
"Please don't be offended, Fellow Daoist Su. If you can fulfill your master's wish, you can carry forward this technique and pass it on!"
Although he didn't know anything about Su Feng's background, he felt that everything about him was mysterious and unpredictable.
But Su Feng's abilities are obvious to all, and he trusts him completely!
Looking at the scriptures presented by Qinghai, Su Feng was momentarily speechless.
The reason was that the cover of the scripture had several large characters written in black font.
The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra!
This is the holy scripture of Buddhism, one of the esoteric scriptures relied upon by the Chinese Esoteric School, and also one of the three mantra scriptures!
Its historical value alone is immeasurable!
Not to mention the profound Buddhist teachings contained within...
In the dim light, Su Feng could even see golden light emanating from the surface of the scripture.
As dazzling as the blazing sun...
"Fellow Daoist Su?"
Seeing that Su Feng did not react, Qinghai cautiously looked up.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Su Feng reached out and gently took the scripture.
The moment I made contact, it was as if a wisp of divine consciousness had entered my brain and was traveling back and forth through my meridians.
Unconsciously, images of those obscure and difficult-to-understand Sanskrit scriptures appeared before my eyes.
A mysterious power surged and swirled within his dantian...
"This scripture... is no ordinary book." Su Feng swallowed hard, feeling his heart pounding wildly.
Having handled so many scriptures, this was the first time he had ever felt such weight and immensity.
He was already starting to look forward to what would happen if it were completed.
"Then I won't bother Fellow Daoist Su any longer. I will be leaving Deer Flower Town tomorrow, and I will say goodbye to Fellow Daoist Su properly then."
Qinghai stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and then quietly left.
