Chapter 143
143 I was woken up early the next morning.
After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Xiang Jiannan went straight to the backyard. From a distance he could hear the voice of Li Ersao, a ruthless person in the town.
From time to time, men would ask her to speak less, but it was of no use.
"What's wrong?"
On the way here, he heard clearly why Li Ersao was furious. Seeing that the master was silent beside him, Xiang Jiannan naturally asked even though he knew the answer.
Li Ersao's tiles were stolen from her house and she originally wanted to report it to the police, but when Pei Dafa found out, he thought it was too much trouble.
As the head of the town, he felt it was unnecessary. After being entangled by Li Ersao, he was unable to extricate himself, so he could only bring her to Ping'an Temple to ask the old Taoist priest for help.
They were just a few lazy tiles, not enough to alarm the authorities. If they were invited, the cost of going back and forth would be several times that of the stolen tiles.
Having dealt with officials for a long time, Pei Dafa was well aware of the unspoken rules in the yamen and could not afford it.
"I don't know which short-lived ghost stole the tiles piled up behind my house and only left a few!"
After entering Ping'an Temple, her voice remained as loud as before. She became irritable again because of Xiang Jiannan's words, and Li Ersao's saliva flew high when she spoke.
She was famous for her bad temper in Ping'an Town. When she got angry, Pei Dafa would stay away from her.
"Spending money to ward off disasters, in my opinion, this may not be a bad thing."
Turning his head, he glanced at Pei Dafa's helpless expression. He didn't understand what the mayor was thinking. Gao Yuan could only stand aside and play the role of a peacemaker.
In the early years, I had competed with Li Ersao several times, and I can honestly say that I never won...
The person who stole the tiles from her house was indeed a ghost. As for whether he died young or not, she really didn't pay attention last night.
The disciple appeared at a very timely moment and greeted me quickly. Suddenly, I remembered that I had something else to deal with.
The roof of the backyard is still covered with tiles from Li Ersao's house. After being scolded in person for so long, the old Taoist's heart is not made of iron. How could I bear it alone?
If he hadn't felt guilty, he would have sent them all away with just one sentence. This is a Taoist sacred place, no noise is allowed. He is familiar with these eight words.
"Master is right, Mrs. Li, you should calm down. Our temple can't catch thieves. If you keep getting angry, you will only hurt yourself. It's not worth it."
"I heard from the night watchman, Old Wang, that he seemed to see tiles from your house flying away in the wind last night."
"There are piles of them, and they are arranged quite neatly."
The reason why Li Ersao was brought to Ping'an Temple was because of this reason. Although he did not believe Old Wang, Pei Dafa still regarded his words as a breakthrough.
How could the tiles fly away with the wind? There must be a reason behind it that they can't see.
It is said that some sorcerers know the method of moving the five ghosts, but I don’t understand it, so I came to ask the old Taoist priest for advice.
Who would carry a bunch of worthless tiles? No matter whether it’s true or not, let’s fool Aunt Li first.
Early in the morning, there was a sudden thunderclap, with his hands on his hips, and he cursed so much that half of the people in the town were in a state of panic.
"Is this true? Did Old Wang see clearly where the tiles were floating to?"
Just as he turned around and was about to go back to the backyard, after hearing Pei Dafa say these two sentences, Gao Yuan looked back with a serious look, which made Xiang Jiannan feel that his reaction was too obvious, and he couldn't help but feel scared.
If they saw that the tiles finally fell into Ping'an Temple, the master and disciple would be in trouble today. The night watchmen are really everywhere.
Pei Dafa brought Li Ersao to the Taoist temple. Could it be that he wanted to test him and his master?
I just said that people’s things should not be taken without permission. After my master spoke up yesterday, I felt something was wrong, but I didn’t have the courage to speak up in front of the ghost officials.
"How could he have the guts to do that? He said he was so scared that his legs went weak and he drank a few gulps of wine before he recovered."
"I think he was drunk, dark all over, and he was hallucinating like before."
"That's right. There are no such strange things in this world."
As soon as Pei Dafa finished speaking, the two Taoists breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Their mental strength suddenly became strong, and Gao Yuan decided not to hide anymore.
After cooperating with several people around him to persuade her for a long time, they finally got the victim, Li Ersao, out of Ping An Temple.
When he returned to the Taoist temple, his forehead was covered with sweat.
I really didn't think too much when I was talking yesterday. When I left just now, I gave Li Ersao a few amulets for free as compensation.
Since I made a mistake first, I can only go against my conscience.
"An Wensheng should have arrived in Shou County, right?"
He was a little more relaxed than his master. Seeing him raising his sleeve to wipe his forehead, Xiang Jiannan immediately changed the subject.
Shortly after returning from the dense forest yesterday, An Wensheng suddenly changed his mind and decided to go to Shou County.
In his words, we should forget the past. What the young Taoist priest said before was very true.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
I thought An Wensheng would be very angry because I had damaged the bluestone slab, but later it seemed that the knife had cut open a knot in his heart.
Shortly after the bluestone slab cracked, An Wensheng just looked at himself and laughed, as if he had suddenly figured something out, and his expression became relieved.
This made the two groups of ghosts even more confused, and after a trip back and forth, they all became listless.
"Almost. The chop you made yesterday was a good one."
He thought about the distance from Shou County to Ping'an Temple in his mind. He didn't say it in front of An Wensheng yesterday. Gao Yu'an has always supported his disciple's ideas.
I didn't expect my disciple would suddenly do such a thing. In fact, I don't really care where the City God Temple is located. Since An Wensheng changed his mind and decided to go to Shou County, it is a good thing at least for his ghost messengers.
Moving into the first county, the name change is justified.
That blow of the knife was really not made by me. He continued to remain silent in front of his master. Xiang Jiannan knew he could not explain their misunderstanding.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise. An Wensheng went to Shou County, and his master had fewer worries and saved a lot of money.
Building a City God Temple requires money.
No matter who pays for it in the end, it must come from ordinary people. It would be a waste if we don’t use the ready-made money.
Originally, they thought that An Wensheng would perform the three-bedroom-one-living-room technique after taking them to the dense forest. However, after the accident, they realized that the newly appointed City God just wanted to take them to see their original residence.
It does not involve the actual construction of the City God Temple.
"Then why did An Wensheng choose to stay in Ping'an Town in the first place?"
I always feel that it's time to reveal the answer. After seeing An Wensheng off yesterday, I went into the house to sleep. When Xiang Jiannan opened his eyes, he was still thinking about this question.
Master, you should know that the reason why An Wensheng initially chose to stay in Ping'an Town was because Shou County was too dangerous?
No one is around to take care of you, are you afraid of accidents? "I am not sure either. I was reluctant to go to Shou County at first, probably because I still had hatred in my heart."
Seeing Xiang Jiannan looking at him with doubtful eyes, Gao Yuan recalled the past and speculated softly:
"Everything in the world, whether human or ghost, as long as it lives in this world, will have some resentment in its heart."
"An Wensheng personally watched the City God Temple where he lived gradually fall into disrepair. Now that he is the City God of the prefecture, it is inevitable that he would have many thoughts in his mind."
"The position of City God should have originally belonged to An Wensheng, but because someone interfered at the time, he ended up losing even his previous place of residence."
"He probably wants the City God Temple in the county, which ended up in a disastrous end just like the City God Temple he was in back then..."
