Chapter 251 The Origin of the Bronze Fish
Sitting in the courtyard of a house, Yang Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm morning sunlight. His injuries had recovered more than halfway, which was a good time to recuperate in this small town.
The spiritual energy contained in the air is far better than that in a noisy city.
Lei Dashan and Grandpa Sun continued to take care of Yang Feng without the slightest complaint in their hearts.
On the contrary, when Lei Dashan woke up from his serious injuries the day before yesterday, he seemed to find him acting mysteriously, which made Yang Feng a little suspicious.
There's nothing that can be done about it; his internal injuries are so severe that even though he's recovered more than halfway, the hidden injuries within his body can't be healed.
During a battle, one cannot use all available methods to fight back with full force, otherwise the meridians may break again, making it impossible to cultivate in the future.
"Big Brother Yang Feng, breakfast is ready! Come on over!" At this moment, Lei Xiaofeng ran out of the house, his face flushed and very cute.
"Okay." Yang Feng nodded slightly, turned around and followed Lei Xiaofeng into the house.
While eating breakfast, Yang Feng unceremoniously finished one meat bun and then another. Opposite him were Luo Xiaofeng and his grandfather, Luo Dashan.
A moment later, breakfast ended, and Luo Dashan began to clear the tableware into the kitchen, while Yang Feng returned to the room where he had rested earlier, which was Luo Xiaofeng's room.
However, he is now sleeping with his grandfather.
Yang Feng began to circulate the mental cultivation incantation and absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. He was somewhat puzzled as to why the chaos within his body was not reacting.
Logically speaking, he was on the same page as him!
With his death, the ferocious beast could no longer survive.
Yang Feng sighed inwardly and stopped thinking about it. Repairing his injuries was the priority now.
After that, I'll go find Ye Aotian to take revenge.
But time doesn't seem to allow it. If I think about it carefully, tomorrow is like the opening ceremony!
Of course, Yang Feng had already missed the earlier military training, so it didn't really matter anyway.
"Clang!"
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Lei Dashan quietly closed it behind him. Holding something in his hand, he sat down next to Yang Feng and said:
"My benefactor, how are your injuries? Are you feeling much better?"
Yang Feng frowned slightly, seeing that he had something on his mind, so he said, "Just tell me what's on your mind, no need to beat around the bush."
"This... haha, it seems I can't hide it from you, my benefactor." Lei Dashan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"This is what happened. When I was young, my grandfather was in the Republic of China. That year was also the third year of the Northern Expedition. He and his two sworn brothers took something out of the tomb of an emperor... As for which emperor, I don't know much. My grandfather might know a little about it, but... it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng raised an eyebrow slightly and continued listening to him, a hint of interest stirring within him, after all, he was an archaeologist.
He thought it might come in handy and didn't want to waste his career.
That's why I applied to the archaeology department before.
"After returning from the tomb of that human emperor, my grandfather's two sworn brothers suddenly died in the street not long after." Lei Dashan said solemnly, then opened the parchment scroll in his hand.
The parchment scroll looks quite old, and it has a picture of a fish on it.
"This is it. When my grandfather came out of the tomb, he kept drawing this thing, isolating the people around him. He just drew this all day long, sigh..." Lei Dashan looked at the fish-shaped picture in front of him and sighed deeply.
Humans are always very curious.
Yang Feng craned his neck slightly, staring at the fish shape on the parchment scroll. It seemed to have some kind of magic, drawing him in.
His mind was blank at that moment, but fortunately, Xingguang suddenly spoke up and woke Yang Feng up.
"What...what the hell is this? How could it have gotten me so deeply involved?!" Yang Feng thought to himself with a wave of fear, cold sweat trickling down his back, soaking a small patch of his clothes.
The soft, delicate voice of Starlight echoed back—
"This is nothing strange; it's just an illusion technique used by cultivators. It can trap those with weak minds, and once trapped, they will be doomed. The chances of waking up are slim, unless you play some intense DJ music, in which case you might be able to break free."
Hearing her words, Yang Feng shrugged slightly. Did she mean that he wasn't mentally strong, perhaps due to his injuries?
Seeing that Lei Dashan's eyes were somewhat unfocused, staring blankly at the parchment scroll in his hand, Yang Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he was about to reach out and push him awake.
Lei Dashan suddenly came to his senses, turned to look at Yang Feng, and smiled faintly:
“My benefactor, I’m entrusting this to you. It’s of no use to me. But if you’re interested, could you help me find the bronze fish on it? My grandfather left behind a huge fortune when he passed away. The prerequisite is that you find this thing first before you can get that fortune. Otherwise… well… it won’t work.”
"What...what does this mean? You need to find this bronze fish to inherit the property? Your grandfather is really something, coming up with something like this." Yang Feng chuckled and said slowly.
"Oh dear, I don't understand what my grandfather was thinking back then. My father, my eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt spent almost their entire lives searching for this thing to inherit my grandfather's huge fortune. In the end, they found nothing and spent a lot of their savings. The worst off was my father, who was scammed and ended up in debt to loan sharks."
A hint of sadness flashed across Lei Dashan's slightly aged face as he spoke.
"I see. You have something here. Give me this first. If I find any bronze fish, I'll give it to you." Yang Feng's curiosity had been piqued. He took the parchment from the parchment and said casually.
Immediately afterwards, the system's cold voice echoed in my mind—
"Ding! Quest received: Find the bronze fish antique. Time limit: Within three months. Reward for success: 200 scrolls. Penalty for failure: One million volts!"
