Chapter 121: Tang Fuyin: "I got this great achievement for nothing?" [Subscribe]
Lin Xuan glanced at Zheng Fangpei's corpse and explained:
"Master, his name is Zheng Fangpei, and he is a Grand Commander."
"The disaster of the Snow Region God and Demon this time originated from this person."
“I don’t know where this person heard the rumor that the blood of the Snow Region God and Demon can be boiled with those rare treasures of heaven and earth to make an elixir of immortality.”
"He captured a child of the Snow God Demon and imprisoned it in the dungeon."
"Those snow-covered gods and demons chased us all the way here, which is why there is snow in June and people are frozen like corpses."
After saying that, Lin Xuan pointed at Deputy General Shen, Wu Gui and others standing beside him:
"These are his lieutenants and subordinates."
Hearing this, Abbot Sanzang seemed to have realized something and could not help but sigh:
"I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. There is no such thing as an elixir of immortality in this world. It's just deceiving oneself..."
Then, Abbot Sanzang asked:
"Lin Xuan, now that you have captured them, what are you going to do with them?"
"Of course it should be handed over to the government."
Lin Xuan expressed his thoughts.
It is a serious crime for a great commander to leave his post without permission.
If the barbarians and foreigners in the border areas get to know about this, they will surely take the opportunity to create chaos.
Even if Zheng Fangpei dies, he cannot escape blame!
Tang Xiaolong heard the conversation between his senior brother and his master, and after some consideration, he took the initiative to speak:
"Brother, please hand these people over to my father."
"The position of the Grand Commander is not low. Even if it is handed over to the county government, it will be reported to the higher authorities."
Lin Xuan nodded and said:
"Alright."
"Then send someone to inform Tang Fuyin."
Here, Tang Xiaolong suddenly leaned over and asked Lan Sang:
"Lan Sang, do you know how far your village is from the county government office?"
“I have never been to the county government office.”
Lan Sang looked confused.
"All right……"
Xiaolong spread his hands helplessly, knowing that he had asked the wrong person.
"If you ride a horse, it will take about half an hour."
At this moment, Lansang's mother suddenly said.
After thinking for a while, Xiaolong asked again:
"Are there any horses in the village?"
"No."
"There is a donkey."
"A donkey cart will suffice."
Xiaolong nodded and said.
After saying this, he patted his chest:
"Master, leave Zheng Fangpei's matter to me. I'll be back soon."
"Be careful on the road."
Abbot Sanzang instructed.
Tang Xiaolong is the son of the prefect of Kaifeng and is most suitable for dealing with the county government.
At this moment, everyone has not left Kaifeng Prefecture.
According to Abbot Sanzang's inference, Governor Tang will be able to know what happened here as early as tonight.
Soon, Xiaolong went to the village to borrow a donkey cart from someone.
It is worth mentioning that the eight or nine men who were rescued by Lin Xuan and others have returned home and reunited with their families one after another.
Soon, the village chief of Liangou Village came out.
This is an old man in his sixties with silver hair and many wrinkles on his face. He looks quite kind.
"I guess this must be the abbot Sanzang of Shaolin Temple?" He came up to the group and asked politely.
"That's me."
Abbot Sanzang smiled at the old man.
After a while, the old man took a look at Lin Xuan and the others. He seemed to know that these people had defeated the Snow Region God Demon. He couldn't help but admire them and bowed his hands to thank them:
"A good teacher produces good students. If you hadn't come to this village, the hundreds of people in Liangou Village would probably not have survived."
Abbot Sanzang waved his hand and said:
"Old donor, your words are too serious.
"Speaking of which, it is fate."
Facing the praise from the village chief of Liangou Village, Abbot Sanzang felt somewhat ashamed.
After all, he himself had done almost nothing to deal with Zheng Fangpei and drive away the Snow Region Demon...
However, he felt relieved when he thought that Lin Xuan and the others were trained by him.
After a brief chat, Muramasa said straightforwardly:
"Abbot Sanzang, it's almost noon, why don't you stay and have a meal?"
"Just take it as a token of your gratitude for rescuing me."
Abbot Sanzang did not refuse, but put his hands together and said:
"Thank you, old donor."
Xiaolong went to the county government office to report the case, and it would take some time. It would be difficult for them to set off again.
Just as Abbot Sanzang and others followed Muramasaha to his home, Lin Xuan's expression suddenly changed, as if he had discovered something.
He immediately said to Deputy General Shen:
"Why are there soldiers in this village? How many people did you bring back to the Central Plains?"
It turned out that Lin Xuan had just discovered that there were groups of soldiers wandering around the village.
Deputy General Shen did not dare to hide it and said frankly:
"We took more than a hundred people with us when we left, and when we got here, there were only about thirty people left."
Lin Xuan's face was indifferent, and he said:
"Gather these people here and don't cause any trouble."
"I understand."
Deputy General Shen shrank his neck and quickly responded.
It was strange to see a master who was half a step into the Qi Control Realm being so timid in front of his own disciple.
Abbot Sanzang then discovered that Lin Xuan's cultivation had quietly broken through to the Yuqi Realm!
And he has achieved a small success in controlling Qi!
This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise!
"Sure enough, if you want to improve your strength, you still need to practice more..."
Abbot Sanzang sighed in his heart.
I increasingly feel that bringing everyone out for experience is a good thing.
Think about this.
He remembered that he had to pass by the White Horse Temple in Luoyang on his way to Lingbao, so he might as well take a rest there.
The current abbot of White Horse Temple is Abbot Mingtong.
He knows him.
I met him when I was young and traveled down the mountain with Gongjin.
Although Abbot Mingtong's cultivation was not as good as his, he had spent his entire life studying Buddhism. He had dabbled in Zen, Tantric Buddhism, Tiantai Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, etc.
When it comes to Buddhist Zen, Abbot Sanzang would not dare to say that he is better than him.
Not long after the village had invited Abbot Sanzang, Lin Xuan and others to their home, many villagers heard the news and rushed over, bringing a lot of vegetables and fruits, hoping that they would eat and drink well in Liangou Village.
In the end, even though Lin Xuan and his companions didn't want the food, the villagers still forced it upon them, leaving them in a state of confusion.
At this moment, Lin Xuan deeply felt everyone's simplicity and kindness.
……
……
After more than an hour, Xiaolong returned to Liangou Village.
Accompanying him were the local Gong County magistrate and a number of officials.
The magistrate of Gong County was horrified when he learned that a great commander had died in the county.
He wrote a letter and asked someone to submit the official document to Kaifeng Prefecture as quickly as possible. Then he rushed here with Tang Xiaolong to check the situation.
Coincidentally, they arrived just in time for dinner.
So everyone had lunch at Muramasa's house.
During the dinner, Lin Xuan and others told the magistrate of Gong County the whole story of Zheng Fangpei's death.
Of course, the official document sent by the magistrate of Gong County to the governor of Tang also detailed the matter.
The magistrate of Gong County naturally did not know about this, but Xiaolong, as an eyewitness, knew it very well.
Therefore, most of the writing was done by Tang Xiaolong, who described the matter.
After lunch, Abbot Sanzang, Lin Xuan and others did not stay in Liangou Village any longer.
Only after Muramasa and other villagers repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay did he say goodbye and set off.
As for the magistrate of Gong County, he ordered the yamen runners who followed him to escort Deputy General Shen, Wu Gui and other soldiers back to the county government office.
Afterwards, they waited for the document from Tang Fuyin to come down before escorting him back to the capital.
……
……
That night.
Kaifeng Mansion.
After reading the documents submitted from various places, Tang Fuyin couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawned.
I know it's late at night and I need to go back and rest.
But just as he was about to turn off the lights, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Excellency, there is an urgent report from Gong County, and they want to present it to you!"
"By the way, the person who came also said that the young master is currently in Gong County."
The voice was mellow and rough, and it was naturally Captain Cao.
Tang Fuyin was shocked and a little surprised:
"Oh? Long Er is in Gong County, why is he running there?"
