Chapter 1523 - 1522: Legend
Seeing it’s Zhang He calling, Ling Feng quickly answered, "How’s it going?"
"How did you find that place?"
Zhang He didn’t answer but instead asked with curiosity.
"Anyway, I have my connections. I’ve already found it, why ask so much? Just get to the point!" Ling Feng said irritably.
"Alright then."
Zhang He chuckled, then sighed, "You’re really something. That place is called Bore Temple. During the Ming Dynasty, it was very popular, but it declined in the Qing Dynasty and then completely vanished. It hasn’t appeared in historical records for nearly two hundred years."
"And then? Is there something unusual about this place?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
"You’re right, there was indeed a major event at Bore Temple back then!"
Zhang He said, then there was the sound of him sipping tea from the receiver.
Ling Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Big brother, can’t you finish your story in one go?"
"Don’t rush!"
Zhang He laughed and continued, "I’ve sent all the information about Bore Temple to your phone. Take a look at it yourself. You should investigate that place; there might be some unexpected discoveries...!"
"Beep beep beep..."
Before he could finish talking, Ling Feng had already hung up the phone.
Looking at the screen, Zhang He shook his head helplessly.
Ling Feng opened the received message and studied its contents carefully.
This seemingly dilapidated Taoist temple was once a famous monk’s temple. More than three hundred years ago, during the Ming Dynasty, when it was most prosperous, it attracted hundreds of pilgrims every day.
Its sudden disappearance from history was mainly due to a major event back then: a fireball descended from the sky!
According to Zhang He’s gathered information, about two hundred and eighty years ago, a fiery meteorite fell to the ground, landing near Bore Temple, turning the surrounding area into a scorched land.
Not just the monks in the temple, but villagers from dozens of miles around suffered greatly, resulting in devastating losses and deaths.
Since then, this place became considered cursed.
Over a hundred years later, a Taoist temple was secretly built on the abandoned site of Bore Temple, which is what Ling Feng now sees.
The Spirit Bone Tower was constructed alongside the Taoist temple.
However, the records didn’t reveal who built the temple or why it was later abandoned.
The Spirit Bone Tower was discovered decades ago when locals went into the mountains to escape war, but no one knows its origin.
After reading the data, Ling Feng felt bewildered.
He was about to call Zhang He to ask what unexpected discoveries might be when another message came through.
The data wasn’t sent in full; it was divided into two parts.
He opened this message, which contained some folklore Zhang He had collected.
When the fiery meteorite descended, many pilgrims witnessed a strange scene: heavenly fire descended, fell without harm, landed without exploding, and after three days, fierce flames engulfed the mountain!
This passage wasn’t too obscure; Ling Feng understood its meaning at a glance.
So he widened his eyes and thought, according to this description, what landed wasn’t a meteorite, but an alien spacecraft?
Otherwise, it must have been a powerful cultivator!
"Looks like I need to take a good walk around these mountains!"
Ling Feng murmured to himself, put away his phone, and glanced at the surrounding mountains.
This Taoist temple is located at the foot of the mountain, and the peak ahead is probably the highest, so he decided to climb to the top to take a look.
But before he could set off, he saw a figure appearing in the distance, walking quickly toward him.
Ling Feng was taken aback and realized that the person coming was Lin Yu!
"Why has this girl come back again?"
As he spoke, Ling Feng leaped forward and quickly reached Lin Yu’s side.
"Boss!"
Lin Yu was breathing heavily from her hurried pace.
"Why have you come back again?" Ling Feng asked.
"I handed the items over to the bureau and thought I should come back and find you!" Lin Yu said.
"I’m not a three-year-old kid!"
Ling Feng sighed helplessly and then asked, "Has anyone started analyzing the items?"
"It’s already being investigated, results will be available soon!" Lin Yu replied.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded and said, "I was just about to head up the mountain to take a look. Since you’re here, let’s go together!"
"Okay!"
Lin Yu nodded and then asked, "Why are you going up the mountain to look?"
"That’s a complicated story, I’ll tell you later, let’s go!"
Ling Feng said as he took her hand and started heading towards the mountain top.
Originally, it would have taken just a moment to climb up, but Lin Yu’s arrival made it take a bit longer; after half an hour, they reached the top of the mountain.
Then Ling Feng showed her the information Zhang He had sent, while he turned to survey the surroundings!
Standing from this height, he realized some unique aspects of the area!
The layout of the mountains here clearly forms a Bagua Diagram!
"How interesting!"
Looking at the series of mountain ranges forming a circle in the distance, and the Spirit Bone Tower being located at one of the Yin Yang Fish’s eyes, Ling Feng was secretly amazed. If this place formed naturally, it’s incredible!
Turning around, his gaze fell on the other Yin Yang Fish’s eye.
The two spots are at least ten kilometers apart; standing at the top of the mountain, he couldn’t clearly see the situation over there, so Ling Feng said to Lin Yu, "Let’s head over there later to take a look!"
"Okay!"
Lin Yu naturally had no objections, returned the phone to him, and said, "Boss, it’s amazing that these things happened here so long ago?"
"Yes, you wouldn’t know unless you investigate, only then do you find something strange; the Tongtian Cult’s Leader choosing this place wasn’t by chance at all!"
Ling Feng nodded, then said, "To save time, shall I carry you?"
"Hmm."
Lin Yu blushed slightly but still nodded.
Then Ling Feng held her waist, leaped, and rushed into the distance!
Twenty minutes later, they reached another mountain peak, and the slope ahead corresponded to the other Yin Yang Fish’s eye.
But the slope was overgrown with wild grass and showed nothing special.
However, Ling Feng still carried Lin Yu down the hill, straight to that barren slope.
With a sweep of his divine sense, apart from wild grass and scattered rocks, there was nothing special.
"Logically, there should be something unusual here. Let’s look carefully."
Ling Feng released his hold and began searching around the slope.
The two of them searched separately, and after only a few minutes, Lin Yu suddenly shouted, "Boss, look here!"
Ling Feng turned around just in time to see black smoke rising from where she was standing!
Immediately after, Lin Yu’s body trembled and she collapsed!
"Not good!"
Ling Feng shouted and leaped forward!
