Chapter 102 Master's Instructions

102 Master's Advice

Supporting Gao Yuan, who seemed injured, into Ping'an Temple, Xiang Jiannan looked straight at the stinking ditch when closing the door.

If the talisman paper had not fallen in time, the black liquid would have flowed back into the stinking ditch. He held the gourd in his hand and just glanced at it twice, then gently closed the door.

I never thought that my master would get hurt. This old Taoist priest forced me to be very careful and not to use too much force on the two wooden doors in the temple.

The two wooden doors seem to be about the same age as the one they were made from. They have fallen into disrepair and are covered in spots.

"Don't be busy yet, I have something to tell you."

After sending Gao Yuan to the room and asking him to sit down, Xiang Jiannan turned around and picked up the wooden basin. He wanted to go to the yard to fetch a basin of clean water first.

He wanted the master to clean it and continue what he had not finished saying.

I haven't got the talisman paper and the spell yet, and just having a gourd seems to be of no use.

What happened just now further confirmed my previous guess that this gourd must have a matching talisman paper. The two complement each other and are both indispensable and important components.

"Is your hand okay?"

Seeing that the master was sitting on the bed with one leg crossed, as if he had a lot to say to him, Xiang Jiannan kept staring at his palm as he sat down.

It was impossible not to notice. From the moment he entered the temple, the old Taoist stretched out his wrist and hummed from time to time, and his open palm did not seem to have any scars.

This is a wound that has hit deep into the soul. Listening to the master's groans, he seems to be particularly weak, although from the outside, it seems that the old Taoist is pretending.

At this moment, I am about to ask my master for a favor. Even if it doesn't matter, I still have to put in enough effort.

"Do you know why our Taoist temple is called Ping An Temple?"

Seeing that his disciple just stared at his hands in a daze after sitting down, Gao Yuan hummed a few words and suddenly felt it was boring.

Emotions are like this, once they start, they will unconsciously bring people into it completely.

He hoped that Xiang Jiannan could look into his eyes at this moment, so he moved his palms and made a very painful expression.

I was so immersed in the play that I couldn't pull myself out for the moment, but as an experienced person I can persist.

"I don't know."

Somewhat affected by Gao Yu'an's look, Xiang Jiannan's mind was constantly thinking while he spoke.

At first he thought that these three words might be related to Ping'an Town, but after seeing Gao Yu'an's unfathomable expression, he secretly denied it.

Ping'an Temple, Ping'an, the name of this Taoist temple must have a very profound meaning. Judging from what the master said before about the human sect's morality, there is definitely a direct relationship between the two. Protecting the safety of the people in one area can achieve a balance between heaven, earth and man in the local area?

As he went deeper, he recalled many things, even the safety of the Great Zhou Dynasty popped up in his mind.

The more I think about it, the more profound it seems.

"Because the place we are in now is called Ping'an Town, it sounds auspicious, there is no other reason."

This sentence made Xiang Jiannan stop all mental activities, and the reason given by Gao Yuan made the young Taoist priest think deeply.

We really can't be too dramatic in life. If the master had explained it a little later, I would have almost made up a great story in my mind.

This reason is indeed natural and even though it sounds meaningless, it leaves me speechless.

"I see."

Not wanting his master to notice his embarrassment, Xiang Jiannan responded after thinking it over, "Ping'an Town, Ping'an Temple, Ping'an Restaurant, the truth is often the first thing you think of but easily deny."

"Then do you know why this place is called Ping'an Town?"

Gao Yuan had become very energetic as he did not intend to let Xiang Jiannan go after asking a question.

He was very satisfied with his way of asking questions, which sounded mysterious as it went on layer by layer, peeling things off bit by bit without losing interest.

Judging from his disciple's performance, he liked this method very much. After he finished speaking, there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

How could I know such a thing! Wasn't the name decided by the big boss in the capital? Ping'an Town, for good luck When Xiang Jiannan thought of the talisman paper and spell that he hadn't gotten yet, he could only continue to be patient. He just hoped that the master could finish asking questions quickly, anyway, he really didn't know the reason.

You are trying to use a nesting doll pattern with me, right? The problem is that the county town to which Ping'an Town belongs doesn't even have the word "Ping'an" in its name, so I can't follow suit.

"I don't know."

After failing to answer two questions in a row, Xiang Jiannan continued to look at his master, maintaining an attitude of humbly seeking advice, with only four words in his eyes: I'm all ears.

He was not interested in the origin of the name of a place, but he was already accustomed to his master's hesitation.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

This old Taoist priest was always mysterious when communicating with me about serious matters, and sometimes it was like he was squeezing toothpaste without finishing his words. I don't know when the little enthusiasm that I have in his heart will be rekindled.

"When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, this place had long been deserted due to years of war. A monster was entrenched here, blocking Emperor Gaozu's work of governing the country. The monster was named Ping An, and the word Zhen was taken from the day when the monster was subdued."

"Ping'an Town, Town of Peace"

Standing up from the bed, Gao Yuan's next tone became very proud:

"The reason why our Ping An Temple has been operating here for so many years is because we want to do the same thing as our great ancestor. It is a matter of great importance. You will understand it in due time."

Ping'an Temple, Guan Ping'an? Confused by Gao Yu'an's words, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help but look down at his feet.

He didn't know whether what the master said was the same as what he thought. If this kind of thing had been said a few years ago, no one would have believed it.

The founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and the master were definitely not from the same era, so it's hard to say where he heard these things from.

If what the master said was true, there was something he would like to bring up at this moment.

Although some monsters had been eliminated before, if one looks into it in detail, Ping An Temple had never had enough manpower. How much could they achieve with just him and his master?

Need to recruit people.

This Taoist temple really has a sense of mission as the master said. No, my mind is a little confused.

"Ping'an Town has enjoyed good weather and good harvests in recent years. Now that Chen Jingxuan has graduated from high school, I need you to keep some things in mind."

Gao Yuan did not stop talking just because Xiang Jiannan showed his laziness. He raised his hand and pointed outside the house:

"Before the time comes, you must not act rashly. You must do what you should do and what you should not do..."

The master seemed to have said nothing. After waiting for a long time for Yu An to finish speaking, Xiang Jiannan swallowed the three words "stinky ditch" that were on the tip of his tongue. The time had not come yet for the master to talk about the stinky ditch in front of the door. Except for Chen Jingxuan and it, the others were all talking about the importance of Ping'an Temple.

Something may happen in the future. As a Taoist priest of Ping An Temple, you must always be prepared for battle.

We must pay special attention to Chen Jingxuan's affairs. That scholar is now the hope of the whole town. If anything happens to him, we must do our best to help him after hearing the news.

As for why the green dragon has been obsessed with the stinking ditch, it is because he wants to go against the will of heaven and wants to achieve his goal by taking a shortcut, so he must be stopped.
