Chapter 146 Female Beauty

146 Female

It suddenly started to rain lightly in the evening.

After seeing Li Jin off, we welcomed several more waves of pilgrims, and the day's work was about to end.

He had been confirming his judgment during the day and was sitting at the door waiting for his master's order. Xiang Jiannan was very quiet as he listened to the dripping sound of water.

Today I heard two very modern words, spoken by two professionals, Li Jin from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau and an old Taoist priest.

Compared with his master being described as garbage, Li Jin's personal life issues do not seem to be so deeply rooted in people's minds.

My mind was in a mess, I was distracted the whole day, and my thoughts were all mixed up.

“Is this the Ping An Temple?”

Just when he was bored, he heard a voice. Xiang Jiannan stood up from the bench and nodded to the person who came.

Is a woman.

I saw her figure from a distance.

This girl could ignore the three big words above her head and ask herself such a question. Is there something wrong with her eyes, or is she illiterate?

There is a plaque for their Ping An Temple. Although it is evening and drizzling, the visibility is still not low and normal people can definitely see it.

"I am here to burn incense."

After hearing Xiang Jiannan's affirmative answer, she moved gracefully and went under the eaves. The approach of the strange woman made the young Taoist priest sober up instantly.

Smells so good!

I have a bad feeling...

The woman looked quite pretty, holding an oil-paper umbrella, but she didn't look like she came from far away.

I had never seen her before, and when I spotted her, it was as if she had been waiting for me in the distance since morning.

"sure."

He was suspicious but did not refuse. The Taoist sect opened its doors to welcome people from all over the world, and Xiang Jiannan continued to nod.

The old master is still staying in the incense hall at this time, so you don’t need to worry too much whether there are any problems or not.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

The person who came to burn incense in the middle of the night is the best example. It’s not too late now, and we can’t refuse business just because of suspicion.

"I don't know where the girl came from."

As he spoke, he led the strange woman into the incense hall and asked her a casual question. Xiang Jiannan fully demonstrated the attitude that a greeter should have.

Even if there was something wrong with this strange woman, it didn't matter now.

The master said that the temple is not just for good people to worship, as long as you are sincere, everyone will be treated equally.

It’s a pity that my current cultivation level is not enough and I can’t really tell the identity of the strange woman.

I don't know why, but at this moment, I actually like this uncomfortable feeling.

"From the next town."

"We've met before."

"where?"

Seeing the strange woman gave him a meaningful smile after she finished speaking, she stopped and Xiang Jiannan, who was leading the way in front, fell into a searching state for a while.

I haven't known this is Ping An Temple since we met. Miss, could you please explain it more clearly?

But there was no answer.

After laughing, she entered the incense hall, lit some incense and worshipped the clay statue of her master. The strange woman quickly got up and left.

He didn't say another word, nor did he give Xiang Jiannan a chance to ask again.

"Close the door and prepare dinner for the Master."

During the whole process, he only had a brief eye contact with the strange woman. Shortly after she left, the old Taoist priest's reaction made Xiang Jiannan even more confused.

Strange.

When the strange woman was burning incense, the master did not even ask her for money. Although this kind of thing had always been done by everyone on their own initiative before, the attitude of tacit consent like that just now had never happened before.

It is the master's instinct to hint at things indirectly, so why is it not shown on the last pilgrim today?

"Yes, the woman who was burning incense just now?"

"Let her be. Just pretend you didn't see anything."

He strode out of the incense hall, leaving Xiang Jiannan alone, and soon disappeared from the young Taoist's sight. When Gao Yuan left, he signaled to his disciple not to worry about it.

Although Xiang Jiannan was still unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it after closing the door.

You don't have to know everything so clearly. If you don't have the ability, what can you do...

After dinner, he and his master returned to their rooms. Xiang Jiannan had just turned a few pages of a Buddhist scripture when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the temple. The frequency was very rapid, which immediately reminded him of the night many days ago.

After putting on my clothes and coming out of the house, I found that the old Taoist priest was already standing outside the house.

He came out silently, his eyes fixed on the front yard.

"Go and have a look."

Seeing Xiang Jiannan coming out, he started to move. When he came to the front of the temple, the old Taoist asked calmly, but when he didn't hear the answer, he immediately started repeating:

"Who is it?"

"I."

"Who is it?"

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

"Master Guo."

"Who is it?"

"Master, please open the door."

…

The visitor outside the door was almost collapsed by the direct questioning, and then he signaled his disciple to open the door.

In the darkness of the night, I saw Master Guo’s face, and beside him stood several wet men.

What are you doing at Ping'an Temple so late at night, Li Jin?

"It's Master Guo, come in quickly..."

As soon as he saw Master Guo appear, he remembered Li Jin's words and felt that things could not be done so quickly. After Xiang Jiannan closed the door, he was just puzzled.

To be honest, coming here at this time is definitely not a good thing. Judging from Master Guo's aura, he seems to be in a hurry.

"Old Taoist priest, is it convenient for you?"

After inviting Master Guo to the incense hall and before he could even stand still, and before he could ask him the purpose of his visit, Xiang Jiannan heard him speak on his own initiative.

Under the light, the master looked anxious. He did not hesitate or think twice before answering:

"inconvenient."

"Urgent!"

After taking off his raincoat, Master Guo carefully explained the reason why he came all the way here:

"Master Lin is in trouble. Someone will come to investigate his personal life in the next few days!"

"Aren't you going to investigate Magistrate Sun?"

Realizing that the news was wrong, looking at Master Guo's anxious eyes, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help but ask:

The investigation of Magistrate Sun's personal life was complete? Less than a day later, it was Lin Zhen's turn? "Where did you hear the news?"

Seeing that the two Taoist priests seemed to have heard the news a long time ago and their expressions were slightly stunned, Master Guo quickly reacted.

Now is not the time to ask about other things. It is important to complete the tasks assigned by County Magistrate Lin first:

"I was originally going to investigate Magistrate Sun, but I was stopped by someone."

"Who is our Prefect Sun? It's impossible to find out casually!"

"So it's changed to investigating Magistrate Lin?"

Feeling that Master Guo did not tell the whole truth, Xiang Jiannan continued to ask: "Can't Magistrate Sun protect County Magistrate Lin?"

"A county magistrate is not worth their effort. This is how the officialdom is. Self-preservation is the most important thing."

"If the two Taoist priests don't help, County Magistrate Lin might be in danger of being killed!"

It seemed that the two Taoists also wanted to distance themselves from County Magistrate Lin. With an excited tone, Master Guo poured out all the remaining words. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old Taoist narrow his eyes, looking very embarrassed:

"How many?"

"Five."

"Send it quickly!"
