Chapter 156 Great Scholar
156 Great Scholar
It didn't take too long to wait.
A few days later, when he was squatting in a corner of the temple reading scriptures attentively, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart for no reason. Xiang Jiannan hurriedly left Ping'an Temple.
From afar, I saw a carriage galloping towards me, and when it was about to hit the steps, it suddenly turned a corner.
The carriage nearly flipped over, and the dangling wheels fell to the ground for a long time before a thin old man opened the door and jumped out.
He must have been a little dizzy from the drifting just now. After getting off the car, he stood there in a daze.
I managed to take a few steps, but they didn't feel natural.
"You beast, you almost killed me!"
After waiting on the steps for a long time, Xiang Jiannan originally wanted to go down and help, but looking at the old man with a somewhat funny posture, Xiang Jiannan finally did not dare to approach.
The carriage that the old man was riding in had no driver, and he was the only one who could be seen from beginning to end.
His gray beard is longer than his face, and his two small eyes often squint unconsciously.
He is so angry about driverless cars. Judging from his own thinking, he may be a little short-sighted.
After scolding the horse, he turned his head to look at himself. His navy blue robe made him look particularly shriveled.
"Teacher, wait for me."
The two of them just stared at each other until another figure appeared and the silence was broken.
The person who spoke was none other than the man in white who returned empty-handed from Ping'an Temple a few days ago.
He ran here on foot.
"Ruyu, your body is too slow."
After the man in white came to his side, the old man in green robe looked like he had recovered from his shock. He immediately started walking towards Ping An Temple, exuding an aura from head to toe. He kept muttering, "Tell me, teacher, who was harassing you a few days ago? How dare someone bully an official appointed by the imperial court!"
It sounded like he was talking to the man in white behind him, but his eyes were staring straight at Xiang Jiannan.
The Taoist robe can represent his identity. There are only two Taoists in the entire Ping'an Temple. The man in white doesn't need to say much, and the old man in green robe also knows who he should look for.
It’s the silly little Taoist priest in front of you.
"I don't dare to claim to be an official appointed by the court yet. Master, please go slowly and be careful with your steps."
He was busy waiting for the old man in green robe to enter the temple. He rarely nodded to Xiang Jiannan. The man in white was smiling uglier than crying.
He saw the little Taoist priest's face change slightly. People who hear their own name for the first time will have this expression. They lack concentration, but they will get used to it after hearing it a few more times.
The word "Ru Yu" was given to me by my mentor.
"If I say you are you, then you are it. Don't be too modest, or you'll be easily bullied."
As he was talking, he had already climbed the stairs. Looking at the young Taoist priest beside him, the old man in green robe asked, "Is it you, the young Taoist priest, who bullied our Ruyu a few days ago? I heard there is an old Taoist priest. Hurry and ask him to get out here!"
Although he is small in stature, he has a big temper. Considering that you have made me afraid to act rashly, I, a Taoist priest, will endure it today. A real man can bend and stretch as he pleases.
Xiang Jiannan could only nod his head at what the old man in green robe said. Looking at the man in white beside him, he was extremely docile at this moment.
I have dealt with the man in white before, so I said these words mainly out of friendship:
"The master is in the backyard now. Please follow me, Master Ruyu, is this your teacher?"
"Master, please watch your words."
The mentor beside him couldn't help but become more aggressive and corrected him sternly. The man in white repeated to Xiang Jiannan.
The young Taoist priest who heard this could not argue with him, so he nodded, turned around and led the two of them into Ping An Temple.
What is the difference between a mentor and a teacher? Ruyu, his mentor, must not be neglected.
"Where is the old Taoist priest? Come out and let me open my eyes!"
As soon as they entered the Taoist temple and took two steps, facing the empty courtyard, the old man in green robe roared again. When no one answered, he seemed to sense something and left the two of them and ran to the backyard quickly.
The short man was wearing a long robe and looked like a sweeping robot from behind.
The lapels of his clothes fluttered on the ground, raising a cloud of dust as he went down.
This old man is quite skilled.
Xiang Jiannan watched the old man in green robe quickly enter the backyard without saying anything to stop him. He just followed slowly behind the old man in green robe.
Not long after, Gao Yuan's voice suddenly exploded, with an unfriendly tone:
"Where did you come from, old man? The backyard is a restricted area, no trespassing is allowed. Get out of here, old Taoist priest."
This was followed by a crackling sound, which did not last long and soon stopped.
Are they fighting now? Two grumpy old men.
Hearing the noise in the backyard, he immediately quickened his pace and arrived almost at the same time as the man in white. As soon as Xiang Jiannan entered, he felt that he was a little too nervous.
The man in white beside him had the same expression as himself, because of the scene before him.
The old man in green robe was sitting at the stone table, facing Lin Zhen's confidantes, with an uncontrollable smile on his face:
"You girls all have extraordinary temperaments. Would you like me to take a look at your palms?"
"Good, good, good, this is a destiny of great wealth and honor."
"My dear, I seem to have seen you somewhere before. What is your relationship with the girl from the Chen family who was famous in the capital? You really look exactly like her. I never thought that I would have the honor to see her stunning face again in my lifetime."
Your mentor doesn't seem as reliable as you imagined. Seeing your master standing aside like a bullied young wife, Xiang Jiannan turned his head to look at the man in white and felt that the old Taoist was about to have another attack. He didn't know who this old man in green robe was.
His mouth was worth thousands of troops. With just a few words, he made Lin County Magistrate's confidantes burst into laughter and they all stretched out their hands.
At the same time, the master and his family were neglected, and the happiness that originally belonged to the old Taoist priest was now completely taken away by the old man in green robe.
"Who is this old man? Why does he have such a disgusting mouth?"
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"He's full of vulgar language. Did you bring him here?"
Gao Yuan, who was standing aside and couldn't stand the laughter of the green-robed old man and the girls, walked a few steps to the two of them. He looked like he was about to explode. He first glanced at Xiang Jiannan with a complaining look, and then directed all his attacks at the man in white: "You called him here, right? Hurry up and find a way to get him out of the backyard for the old Taoist priest!"
“This is my mentor.”
"Ruyu, stop talking!"
When the man in white wanted to reveal his identity to Gao Yuan and stood up from the stone table, the old man in green robe suddenly interrupted him.
He raised his hand to signal the girls to wait for him for a while, and then came to Gao Yuan.
He raised his hand and pointed outside, indicating that they should talk outside if they had anything to say.
His behavior and gestures showed that he wanted to act wild and follow me, which made Gao Yuan laugh out loud on the spot.
"Just go if you want to. Why should I be afraid of an old man like you? You are in my own Taoist temple. Do you think you can act wild?"
“This Taoist temple is simply miserable.”
Leading everyone out of the backyard, the old man in green robe did not enter the incense hall but chose a corner and said soon.
Gao Yuan's expression became even more unhappy after hearing what he said. He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't find the right words.
He understood what the old man in green robe meant.
There are indeed few pilgrims in the temple today, otherwise I wouldn't be so free.
I was just chatting with a few girls when I was interrupted by you, a short old man, who shamelessly took the old Taoist priest's seat.
Where on earth did he come from? "Tell me, what are you doing in the Taoist temple?"
"It's not convenient to do it today."
Gao Yuan had already made his own judgment on the identity of the old man in the green robe and had determined that he was here to cause trouble. While speaking, he glanced at the man in white.
This is a bit slow, Master? Why don't you bring more people here?
It’s a pity that I, the old Taoist priest, waited for so long.
"My last name is Chen Ruhua, and I am from the capital. I came here today especially for my disciple."
Chen Ruhua? Your name is even more exaggerated than that of the man in white! Xiang Jiannan had just recovered from the name of the man in white. When he heard the old man in green robe say his name, he couldn't help but think of a tough guy in the movies.
Like a flower, like a jade? These two names are really euphemistic.
It's simply impossible to guard against.
"Chen Ruhua, what a dissolute name!"
He immediately expressed disdain for the name of the old man in green robe, and Gao Yuan was merciless when he spoke:
"My Taoist name is Sanshun, which is many times better than your Ruhua."
He sounded somewhat smug after saying this, and Xiang Jiannan didn't know how to continue.
Master, let’s not talk about your Taoist name. It’s not much better than Chen Ruhua, and it can even be said to be a bit rustic.
Why are they suddenly comparing each other? Is the circle of the elderly really so plain and simple? "I am a great scholar in the capital, and you, a Taoist priest, are so arrogant!"
Gao Yuan's words made Chen Ruhua furious, with her head raised like a rooster ready to fight. Her face was extremely gloomy as she spoke.
Who in the world doesn't know Chen Daru, an outspoken old Taoist priest? No wonder his disciples returned empty-handed from him. I heard that you are quite powerful?
