Chapter 114 Tips
114 Tips
When Li Jin entered the temple, Xiang Jiannan was holding the scriptures with great interest. It was the first day of the plan's implementation and the young Taoist was very excited.
The scripture he was reading now was called The True Record of a Young Girl Coming Out of Her Bath. He had torn off the cover on purpose as he was afraid that pilgrims who did not know the truth would misunderstand him.
This Record of a Young Girl Coming Out of the Bath recorded some very strange ideas, which should have been inspired by the master when he started writing it. Influenced by the Thirty-Six Postures of the Beautiful Woman, Xiang Jiannan turned the pages very slowly.
Although I cannot figure out the intention behind these words, I must maintain a correct attitude.
I don't understand what the master was thinking at the time. Take the Thirty-Six Postures of the Beautiful Woman as an example. The text and what he said to me later were completely two different things.
You must read slowly and several times, then you will understand. We in the Taoist sect will not cheat those who have ulterior motives.
These were the original words of the old Taoist priest. If you couldn't wait and asked directly, he would pull a face and look very hurt.
What's wrong with the young Taoist priests nowadays? They have no spirit of concentration. If your master tells you directly, what's the point of practicing?
As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but practicing depends on yourself. Try it yourself first, and when the time is right, I, your master, will explain it to you.
I refused with confidence and at the same time I despised myself severely.
"Little Taoist priest, good sword!"
After entering the incense hall, he greeted Gao Yuan first. Seeing that he was about to lead everyone in meditation, Li Jin talked to him and then went to look for Xiang Jiannan.
It seems that this little Taoist priest never follows his master in meditation. Now, no one knows where he has gone.
Coming out of the backyard and finding the front hall, I saw Xiang Jiannan in a corner. At this moment, he was holding a scripture in his hand, looking thoughtful, with two things beside him.
A Guan Gong sword was leaning against the wall behind him, and a gourd was casually placed at hand. It was accidentally touched by the sleeve of his robe and rolled away.
"Li Jin!"
Hearing the voice, his eyes shifted and seeing that the staff member of the Demon-Suppressing Division suddenly appeared in the Taoist temple again, Xiang Jiannan was full of uncertainty.
So many big things have happened during this period of time, the Demon Subduing Division must have known about it a long time ago. I'm afraid they came here to cause trouble for the master and disciple.
I just heard my master talking about the struggle between civil and military officials in the Zhou Dynasty. To which faction and military system does the Demon Subduing Division belong?
"Young Taoist priest is in a good mood."
"I couldn't find it after a long time. It turns out it's hiding here."
"Your eyesight is bad, so I didn't move."
Standing up and picking up the gourd from the ground, Xiang Jiannan felt a little relieved when he saw that Li Jin was still talking as usual, and then he stuffed the scripture into his sleeve.
I have been squatting in this position since lunch. How can I say I am hiding? This place is located between the front hall and the incense hall, close to the wall. It has an excellent geographical location. It can ensure that the master can see me at a glance when he needs people, and I can keep a certain distance from the pilgrims entering the temple. It is also cool.
If I hadn't seen when Li Jin came in, I would have scolded him a few more times.
"I must have been mistaken."
When he came to Xiang Jiannan, he was actually wondering in his heart, so Li Jin could only respond with a smile.
This is not the way to make a mistake. The place where the young Taoist priest was was not remote. I really didn't see him just now and passed by him several times.
This little Taoist priest is making fun of himself.
The smile was very conspiratorial.
"What are you looking at?"
He just mentioned it in one sentence during the conversation, and then Li Jin became concerned about Xiang Jian's actions in the south to block the scriptures.
What's going on so fast? Is it the secret of Taoism?
Anything that could make the young Taoist priest make that kind of expression must not be an ordinary item. I also want to take a look at it.
Although I knew it might be inconvenient, the words came out of my mouth unconsciously.
"The scriptures make life meaningless."
Xiang Jiannan threw the scripture out from his sleeve again, but he didn't think as much as Li Jin thought.
If there is anything I am afraid of showing to others about the uncovered Record of a Girl Coming Out of the Bath, I might as well ask Li Jin to help me take a look at it. Maybe he can even give me some advice.
As soon as he got the scripture, he handed it to Li Jin, but he didn't hold out much hope.
It's just an idea that suddenly popped up in my mind. There are not so many magical things in this world.
“Exquisite.”
He picked up the scripture and opened it solemnly in front of him. As expected, Li Jin could not understand it at all.
Different fields have different meanings. This Taoist classic is really obscure and difficult to understand. Compared with the books I have read before, it is even more confusing.
After reading a few lines of text, I had no idea what it was saying. No wonder the young Taoist priest was staring at the sky in a daze with a sad expression.
The classics of their Wu Zong are much simpler, without so many words and sentences that require thinking after connecting them together.
"real?"

Seeing that Li Jin seemed to have not even finished reading half of the second page, Xiang Jiannan saw embarrassment in his eyes.
It was really difficult for him. He clearly couldn't understand it, but he had to praise the scripture in his hand in a hypocritical manner, saying that it was "exquisite and extraordinary". These four words are omnipotent. If he encounters something he doesn't understand in the future, he can directly apply them.
"Where did you get this knife from?"
After returning the scripture to Xiang Jiannan, Li Jin paid attention to the Guan Gong sword behind him again. He felt that weapons were more real.
He was very curious about the appearance of a Guan Gong sword in Ping'an Temple. After entering Ping'an Town, he did not hear the residents talking about this matter.
Everyone was talking about the forest fire in the north, so I went over to take a look.
The fire was so big that the ground was scorched.
"you do not know?"
He was a little confused about whether he should explain the origin of Guan Gong's sword to Li Jin. Xiang Jiannan thought that the Demon-Suppressing Division had already known about this matter. Seeing his puzzled look, he was unable to make a decision.
The Demon-Suppressing Division has not done a good job recently. Even after the Green Dragon appeared, they were so negligent about Ping'an Town. I thought that the last time they came back from Shou County, the master and disciple were put on the key surveillance list.
“It’s a long story.”
He turned around and picked up the Guan Gong sword from the wall with extremely clumsy movements. Xiang Jiannan thought it would be better to leave Li Jin's question to the master and use the Guan Gong sword to buy time until the master finished his meditation.
The big knife became much more unfamiliar after not being used for a while. When I tried to lift it, I felt it was very difficult.
It was pulled up completely by myself while holding my breath, as if it had taken root in the ground.
“That’s not how you hold it.”
Seeing Xiang Jiannan walking unsteadily while holding the knife handle with both hands, Li Jin took two steps forward and then laughed.
The young Taoist priest was very thin, and he was only at the second level of Taoist fruit. He was hesitant to hold a knife.
He walked up to Xiang Jiannan, grasped the hilt of the knife with one hand, and gave him a look to let go.
Although he was not good at using weapons, compared with the young Taoist priest, his physical fitness might be much stronger than his. You know, the thing that people in the martial arts sect have the most is strength.
Even though the sword seems to be quite heavy in the hands of the young Taoist priest, once it is in his hands, it will be as easy as a goose feather for him to manipulate.
Bang! His conceit had not yet reached its peak. As Xiang Jiannan untied his hands obediently, Li Jin's slightly raised arms suddenly fell heavily, and seeing the ground being smashed into pieces, he, who always thought he was incredibly strong, did not dare to move anymore.
What was going on? I just felt that the sword suddenly became heavier after the young Taoist priest let go of his hand. Now, just holding it up, my arm felt a little overwhelmed.
How heavy is this sword, which can smash the stone ground like this in a short distance? With his current cultivation, it is difficult for him to deal with it easily.
Little Taoist priest, come and help...
