Chapter 149

149 I can't believe I'm still alive.

When he woke up from the darkness, he first saw the familiar roof and heard laughter outside the house. Xiang Jiannan tried to move.

Feeling a slight pain in the chest, he turned his head to look around and found that a medicine soup was being boiled not far away.

There was a small stove with a gurgling earthenware pot on it. The smell it gave off was extremely pungent, but no smoke was emitted.

Fortunately, the door and windows of the room were open, and the unpleasant smell should have dissipated mostly by the time it reached the bedside.

Escaped again.

He struggled to sit up from the bed. He didn't feel thirsty or hungry. He sighed and let out a long sigh. Then Xiang Jiannan continued to move his limbs.

The current feeling is that everything is good, and next I need to walk around the ground a few more times.

I don’t know how long I lay there this time. Judging from the noise coming from outside the house, my master is outside at the moment and is very happy.

There were voices of several young women, and during the trip to the county town, the old Taoist priest really kept his word.

"master."

Wearing a Taoist robe, he walked a few steps to the door. He felt his feet were light all the way. Xiang Jiannan soon saw his master's old face beside the stone table in the yard.

He was beaming with joy. At this moment, he was surrounded by five beautifully dressed girls. When they looked at him, they revealed an expression of déjà vu, and then he happily immersed himself in the communication with the girls.

He simply ignored the little Taoist priest at the door.

Don't blame me, Xiang Jiannan, for being disloyal! He had never expected that his master would treat him like this. His legs softened and he sat on the ground. Xiang Jiannan looked at the lustful old Taoist priest and stretched out his finger.

He didn't know whether the original method was effective, so he raised his hand and drew a circle.

The master is now sitting on a stone bench, showing his big yellow teeth and smiling brightly.

"etc!"

Xiang Jiannan had just stopped moving his hands and suddenly signaled to the girls beside him to end their conversation for the time being. Gao Yuan stood up with a frown on his face.

When he looked at Xiang Jiannan again, his tone was urgent, and every wrinkle on his face was filled with pain:

"My disciple, you are awake! I have been really scared these past few days! I have been guarding by your bed day and night."

"God bless me Ping An Guan!"

He just talked without taking any action, and Xiang Jiannan knew at a glance that he was acting.

God bless Ping An Temple? I was almost killed by God at that time. The method of drawing circles on the ground is still effective. The master looks very nervous.

She spoke beautifully, but she didn't dare move her lower body. She felt so unnatural, and I could see it clearly from the doorway.

I just don't know what happened.

"The weather is getting colder. Disciple, you should go back to your room and lie down. Don't worry about the affairs of the temple."

He was so distressed at the distance that he didn't move. It was not until several girls began to support Xiang Jiannan that Gao Yuan took two tentative steps to get closer. Seeing that his master did not receive the punishment he deserved, Xiang Jiannan would never let him go.

His body softened and he sat back on the ground, and he stretched out his finger with lightning speed.

This time he finally got what he wanted. As soon as the circle was formed, he saw the old Taoist priest fall to the ground instantly, lying firmly on the ground, and didn't get up for a long time.

"My disciple, you can rest assured and cultivate yourself. I, the master, will take care of all the affairs in the temple."

Having been tricked by Xiang Jiannan but unable to speak out, everyone worked together to get their disciple back to the bed. Gao Yuan's eyes were filled with resentment from time to time as he spoke.

I, a Taoist priest, am already old. How could I endure the ordeal I just received?

Disciple, could you please think more before you take action? Wouldn't it embarrass the master in front of those girls?

"Thank you, ladies. Could you please give me a chance to talk to the master alone?"

He just felt like sneezing and forced himself to speak, Xiang Jiannan really couldn't stand the smell of rouge around him.

It's more pungent than the medicine in the clay pot.

It smells too good!

These girls must be the so-called confidantes of County Magistrate Lin. After what Lawyer Guo said that day, she just felt that Lin Zhen deserved it.

He has no memory at all. It hasn't been long since the Qiao Yun incident and he has found five more. He knows how to have fun. Didn't he say he was very sad after he returned?

Turn grief into numbers?

"Master, I'm waiting for you."

How could they refuse Xiang Jiannan's request? Considering that he was younger and more handsome than the old Taoist priest, Lin Zhen's confidantes were all very understanding.

He turned around with a smile and started to leave the room, but when he reached the door he stopped and shouted to Gao Yuan.

The old Taoist priest smiled happily and turned his head hurriedly, nodding his head while laughing: "Wait for me!"

He waited until the girls' voices faded away before reluctantly turning back to look at his disciple:

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

"What happened after the master left?"

"you do not know?"

"I don't know. When I entered the incense hall, I saw you lying in front of the master. Fortunately, your breathing was still even."

Seeing that his master was serious and didn't seem to be lying, Xiang Jiannan told him the whole story of the red snake demon's heavenly tribulation. At the end of his speech, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help but speak in an angry tone.

He didn't understand why he was the one who got struck that day.

Was it just because of those few words you said at that time, or because you accepted the money from the snake demon? "I see, I was wondering why you were so dark at that time, scaring the girls so much."

Thinking of his disciple's miserable state that day and knowing the whole story, Gao Yuan sighed, "Unexpectedly, you were able to block the calamity for her. I can only say that you and the snake demon are destined to be together."

"When she entered the temple that day, I realized that the girl next to her was not a decent person."

Can't you tell if you are a decent person? He began to doubt what Gao Yuan said, thinking that with his cultivation level, how could he not see that the woman in red was a demon? Xiang Jiannan smelled the medicine and simply kept silent.

He kept tapping the edge of the bed with his fingers and silently began to put pressure on the old Taoist priest.

After a few beats, the old Taoist priest continued to speak, his eyes showing only innocence:

"Things like heavenly tribulations have always been unpredictable. It is difficult for others to observe them except for the one who is being tribulations."

"I was a little careless that night. I never thought that the snake demon would come up with such an idea."

"Master, have you survived the catastrophe?"

After hearing Gao Yu'an describe the severity of the heavenly tribulation, Xiang Jiannan stopped knocking and looked at the old Taoist priest, and asked softly.

I have escaped death this time, so I'll take this opportunity to test my master's abilities.

"Of course not. If I had survived the heavenly tribulation, why would I still be hiding in this peaceful temple?"

"If you survive the heavenly tribulation, you will become an immortal. Your great master survived it. The scene was beyond your and my imagination."

"He struck me nine times. I heard from my master afterwards that he almost died at that time."

"Master, he is really a great man."

He also knew that the heavenly tribulations that monsters and humans endured were different. Lying on the bed with a longing look in his eyes, Xiang Jiannan estimated that he would never have such a day.

The monks of the Great Zhou Dynasty only needed to survive a heavenly tribulation once in their lifetime, and the journey alone was extremely long.

It is so far that it may consume the lifespan of the monks. They spend their entire lives pursuing it, but never see the threshold.

The only cultivator he knew of who survived the heavenly tribulation was his master, but unfortunately he filled the sea after becoming an immortal.

If he were still alive today, the Taoists of the Great Zhou Dynasty would never have ended up in the situation they are in today.
