"Please wait a moment, you three."
Zhao Linwei clasped his fists, left the door open, and quickly walked to the backyard.
"Master, there are three people looking for you outside, saying they are from Yanyun Mountain."
"Yanyun Mountain?"
Zhu Huaishan stood up from his chair, "Did you hear clearly?"
"I heard you clearly..."
After receiving the confirmed answer, Zhu Huaishan hurried out.
The disciples who were practicing all stopped and looked at each other with inquiring eyes.
"Who has such a big arrogance and wants Master to accept it on his own?"
"I am also a monk who is only two feet tall. I am confused. Why don't you go take a look?"
"Walk!"
Zhu Huaishan came to the front yard and saw the three old men. He looked solemn and bowed and said: "Elder Fan."
The disciples and apprentices of Liuhe Sect saw this and saluted together.
The old man paused his crutch, waved his hand and said: "You are also the master of a sect now, so you can skip these false gifts!"
"yes."
Zhu Huaishan responded in a low voice and invited the three people to his study.
"The relationship should be relatively close. This is the first time I have seen Master receiving guests in the study."
"Master also has a disciple, he must be an elder of the master, right?"
"The aura of these people is really strong, I don't know what their cultivation level is..."
The disciples were discussing curiously. Zhao Lin noticed that senior brother Gao Yuan had been silent and thought that he might have guessed the origins of these people just like him.
Yanyun Mountain is in Yanzhou, where the Xingyun Sect's sect is located.
He captured Wen Gensheng, a traitor to the Xingyun Sect, and it was reasonable for them to send people to Yingzhou to verify the matter.
Thoughts swirled in his stomach, and Zhao Lin roughly thought about the whole thing.
After a while, the study door opened.
"Zhao Lin, come in." Zhu Huaishan leaned out and waved to him.
Zhao Lin responded and quickly walked into the study.
Some of the disciples were surprised, some were envious, only Gao Yuan showed a little disappointment on his face.
In the study, the old man looked at Zhao Lin carefully and nodded approvingly, "He is a good martial artist."
Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "Senior, please give me the award."
"You're fine!"
The old man praised, then sighed softly: "I originally thought that Lian'er's revenge would never be avenged in this life, but I didn't expect that beast to fall into your hands."
"I have read the file. You are very capable. Others may not be able to see through this."
Zhao Lin listened quietly, thinking that there was no use in praising him, so he hurriedly provided some useful information.
The old man seemed to hear Zhao Lin's thoughts and continued: "Don't worry, although thirty years have passed, the reward from back then is still effective, and the promised moisturizing pill will definitely be given to you."
Zhao Lin was secretly happy and said calmly: "Thank you, senior."
"You deserve it."
The old man turned to look at Zhu Huaishan and said with a smile: "You are a good apprentice. I think when he reaches the Qi state, you should stop holding him in your hands and send him to Yanyun Mountain as soon as possible."
Zhu Huaishan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Zhao Lin listened for a while, and the topic no longer related to him, so he said goodbye and left the study.
"Junior Brother Zhao, who is here? What does he want from you?"
As soon as Zhao Lin came out, he was surrounded by disciples. Yuan Cheng was the first to step forward and ask.
"A few days ago, I captured a fugitive criminal who had committed evil crimes in Yanzhou before. A visiting guest came to me to ask me a few questions."
Zhao Lin only talked about the case and said nothing about Xingyun Sect and Runzedan.
Yuan Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "That's all? No more?"
Zhao Lin spread his hands: "What else? It's just a matter of a few words."
…
In late October, take a rest.
Zhao Lin didn't have to be on duty today, so Zhao Lin got up early as usual and went directly to Liuhe Gate after breakfast.
When he entered, he leaned against the doorframe and measured his height.
"Yes, my height has not changed this month."
Since absorbing the souls of Old Scalper and Xiong Zhen, Zhao Lin's height has increased dramatically. He has jumped ten centimeters in half a year, and his physique has become stronger and stronger.
Zhao Lin was a little worried that it would continue to grow endlessly and turn into a monster like the Hulk.
Fortunately, this did not happen: in the past two months, my height has basically stopped growing, and my muscles have stopped growing.
He figured out the reason: the spirits of the old scalper and Xiong Zhu promoted the growth of strength, but the spirit of the black horned antelope focused on speed and flexibility to prevent the body from over-development.
The two forces promote and restrict each other, allowing Zhao Lin to achieve a good balance between strength and speed.
Moreover, to increase strength, it is not necessary to make the muscles bigger. Strengthening the muscles can also achieve the same effect.
The length of a foot in this world is about the same as the length of Zhao Lin's open palm, so he estimated that a foot was equivalent to about 25 centimeters in the previous life.
Calculated, his height is nearly 1.8 meters, a real seven-foot man.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, He Qingquan suddenly visited.
Zhao Lin thought something was going on at the yamen and asked, "Lao He, what's going on?"
He Qingquan looked proud and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, good news, the leopard has been caught!"
Zhao Lin was overjoyed and quickly pulled him outside the door to talk, "Will you live or die?"
"Of course he's alive. I definitely can't mess up what you told me."
He Qingquan smiled and said: "Chongyuan Hall sent someone over this morning to inform me. By the way, let them deliver it, or should we go and get it?"
"If you send it over, you will have to pay a tax when crossing the city gate. We will have to pay the tax."
As he spoke, He Qingquan pointed to the other side of the street, where a boy in Tsing Yi who looked like a waiter was standing there.
Zhao Lin didn't even think about it and said decisively: "I'll get it!"
If there was an accident during transportation and the leopard was lost or died, I would be in vain.
He Qingquan walked to the street and said a few words to the boy, sent him away, then turned back and took out half a piece of Heqi from his arms.
"The other half is in Chongyuantang. The captain can just give this to them."
The contract is a piece of wood. The two parties carve the agreed terms on one side of the board, make two copies, and then cut it in the middle, each holding one copy.
"Captain, do you want me to accompany you?" He Qingquan asked.
"No need, I can just go by myself."
Zhao Lin took out a piece of silver from his arms and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao He."
…
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Lin changed into casual clothes and came out of Liuhe Gate.
When he left the city, he bought a few meat cakes from the sesame cake stall at the gate of the city, wrapped them up and carried them with him.
According to previous experience, you will be very hungry after absorbing new souls, so you need to prepare food in advance.
Near noon, Zhao Lin came to Lisha Town.
After listening for a while to make sure there was no beard following or setting up an ambush, he walked into Chongyuan Hall, came to the counter, and gently placed the contract on the table, "Shopkeeper, have you got the hunt I wanted?"
The shopkeeper of the medicine hall took a look at Heqi and took out an almost identical wooden board from the drawer.
The two are in perfect harmony with each other.
"Yes, since you came to pick up the goods as promised, I will refund your deposit now."
"The deposit is ten taels, and the intermediate fee is two taels. This is eight taels of silver. Please keep it."
Zhao Lin put away the money and asked, "Where is the hunted product?"
