Chapter 122

122 It can be said that the return was successful.

After dealing with the thin young man, he was in a good mood. After getting back on the road, he hardly stopped whipping his horse. As soon as it got dark, Xiang Jiannan and his group arrived at their destination.

The gate of Ping'an Temple was opening to them, and the last wave of pilgrims of the day just walked out of the temple accompanied by Gao Yuan.

Everyone had different expressions when Xiang Jiannan appeared. He greeted him and then left the time for the master and disciple.

"Disciple."

“Take the money!”

He felt embarrassed when he saw Xiang Jiannan again. When he walked a few steps to him, Gao Yu'an felt ashamed and wanted to explain hurriedly. But when he heard his disciple asking him to take out the silver, he put his left hand into his sleeve quickly.

He fumbled in his sleeves for a few times before clenching his hands and remembering to ask for the specific number.

It's hard-earned money, and when it comes to silver, the old Taoist priest will unconsciously feel a little reluctant. This emotion is definitely not something he thinks of on his own initiative.

Just follow your heart.

"How many?"

"Five taels."

"Disciple you"

Being stared at by Xiang Jiannan, he had no choice but to offer everything. Gao Yuan didn't expect that Xiang Jiannan would ask for such a high price. It was only because he was in the wrong about what happened yesterday that he had no choice. The words were already on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back with a smile.

After the long journey, five taels of silver is actually not much.

"Are you the young Taoist priest in Ping An Temple?"

At this time, he had already learned Xiang Jiannan's identity from Song Erle. Seeing the young Taoist holding silver and saying that he wanted to give him fare, the driver with a black eye on his right eye initially declined.

I haven't been so courageous in years. I got injured accidentally during the fight with the thin man. Although I failed to destroy the car, I still felt vented.

The two men were equally strong, but the thin man had internal injuries and looked very weak, but after being caught up by me, his punches and kicks were quite powerful.

Each blow was heavier than the last, but luckily I had thick skin and was able to dodge in time, so in the end, I won a miserable victory.

Nowadays, who doesn’t have some tricks?

"It's me. Thank you, driver brother."

Originally, he had not intended to ask the master for so much, but when he saw the driver coming back with outstanding performance, Xiang Jiannan had some ideas and wanted to give him more fare as a thank you for his "generous act".

Regardless of whether the driver came back for the fare or not, Xiang Jiannan was happy to spend the money. He probably didn't get any advantage when he chased the thin young man. The young man clearly said that he was seeking revenge for him, so of course he needed to express his gratitude since he had little idea of ​​money.

At that time, I was afraid that he would run into Lao Nie, so I fiddled with Song Erle on the ground for a long time and asked him to chase after him and follow him to prevent any accidents, but he was too late.

This coachman is a man with a strong personality, and Xiang Jiannan is actually quite willing to make friends with him.

"I should have thought of it earlier. Only the Taoist priests of Ping An Temple can use such powerful spells."

His hands were not idle while he was talking. He took all the silver. The driver only felt that the bruise on his right eye no longer hurt.

He had a vague view of the fight between Song Erle and Lao Nie. It was hard not to see the lightning and thunder. He saw several bolts of lightning crackling down from afar. If he had not reacted in time, he would have been dragged over by the frightened horse, along with the cart.

The sky above his head was clear, but the closer he got to the little Taoist priest, the more dangerous it became with flying sand and rocks.

After bravely waiting until everything returned to calm, I turned back to find Xiang Jiannan and Song Erle, only then did I realize that these two people were definitely not simple.

I never thought it would cause such a big commotion. As a rickshaw driver, the most serious situation I encountered was nothing more than a fight.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Xiang Jiannan didn't know whether he should continue the compliment from the driver. He knew he must have misunderstood.

You didn't see how embarrassed I was when I was at a loss. If it was any later, there wouldn't even be much ashes left. I don't want to explain any more. Now that the fare has been paid, I just want to go back to the temple and lie down for a while.

Song Erle said that the lightning bolts that hit Lao Nie were borrowed from his master. This old Taoist always made him puzzled. Sometimes he felt that he was very good at predicting things, and sometimes he felt that his previous ideas were too casual. He wanted to ask something, but at this moment he felt that he was not in the mood.

He fled all the way back to the county town in tattered clothes, his figure changing so fast that ordinary people could not see clearly. It was not until he bypassed the soldiers guarding the city and entered the county town that Old Nie, who was left with only his inner jacket, stopped. He stumbled amid the strange gazes of passers-by, and after several twists and turns, he finally entered the Lin Mansion.

He knocked the door open with brute force. Without waiting for the butler to see who was coming, he pushed everyone aside with a sullen face and rushed in without saying a word.

"Mr. Nie!"

At this time, he was chatting happily with Prefect Sun. Hearing a commotion in the yard, Lin Zhen hurried out of the house. When he saw Old Nie in a dishevel, he immediately turned around to look at Prefect Sun.

The name Lao Nie was not something he could call casually. He was just a small county magistrate, and he could easily become a discarded pawn if he offended anyone in the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty.

"water!"

As if he didn't hear Lin Zhen's words, he slumped in his chair the moment he entered the main hall. Old Nie seemed to have completely let down his guard at this time. After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to grab the kettle on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

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

In the end, he seemed to feel that it was not enough to quench his thirst. When no more drops of water could flow out, he turned his gaze to Lin Zhen.

He saw that Prefect Sun was laughing happily, so he could only be thick-skinned and pretend that he saw nothing.

"What happened? Why are you in such a mess?"

Seeing Old Nie drinking heavily, Magistrate Sun stood beside him and just watched, with an undisguised smile on his face.

The situation now is not as simple as just saving his life. That little Taoist priest could actually beat Old Nie like this. The facts are before us.

He really wanted to hear what Old Nie would say next. With his level of cultivation, how did Xiang Jiannan do it?

"Sun, don't laugh."

He threw the drink away immediately after finishing it. Knowing that Prefect Sun was gloating over his misfortune, Old Nie was ruthless in his words, even though he was in a bad mood:

"That Taoist priest is a big trouble. If he is not eliminated soon, he will definitely be a big trouble in the future."

“No one should expect to live in peace.”

"So he went to look for the young Taoist priest."

There was no big reaction to Old Nie's words. Seeing that he seemed to want to contribute, Prefect Sun was of course unwilling to do so. He made sarcastic remarks and continued to not give him any face:

"It's not your turn to tell me what to do."

"Hmph, just wait and see!"

As if he had recovered his strength, Old Nie stood up from the chair and returned to his previous expression.

Lin Zhen felt a little uncomfortable seeing this, but Magistrate Sun did not receive any hero treatment and was still in high spirits.

"Let's see how long you can keep pretending to be confused."

"What did the little Taoist priest do?"

Seeing that Old Nie wanted to leave after he finished speaking, Prefect Sun followed him and refused to give in.

He really hadn't enjoyed such a happy moment enough. Although he noticed something strange afterwards, he didn't know what exactly happened.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer!"

"If you were there at the time, you and I together should be able to hold out for a few more breaths."
