During this period, Li was sent in several times.

It was more urgent than An Wensheng's. Just one day had passed and Lord Zhang seemed a little impatient.

He directly ordered Li Jiner to go to Ping'an Temple, and with a concerned attitude, asked Gao and An to take action quickly.

As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams you have. It is not convenient to drag on things that have been agreed upon for a long time.

This matter is of great importance.

"Master, do you think this is okay?"

After changing into his nightgown that night, Xiang Jiannan felt that the old Taoist priest was a treasure trove. In his heart, he was actually rejecting him when he spoke.

He didn't know where the old Taoist got this set of clothes. He opened the wardrobe without even looking through it, and pulled it out from the darkness.

To be honest, it feels pretty good to wear. The fabric is thin and light, and when I lower my head, I can see my belly.

Ever since Ping'an Temple became popular, Xiang Jiannan had gained some weight. The night clothes his master gave him were a little slimmer and not as loose as the Taoist robes.

"Of course it's feasible. Let's get started as soon as possible, so that the fat guy won't come to urge us every day."

He was very satisfied with the effect after Xiang Jiannan put it on. He closed the wardrobe and looked around. Gao Yuan did not take out another set of night clothes.

It seemed that he only prepared one thing for Xiang Jiannan. After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and picked up the whisk.

"It's a dark and windy night, disciple, let's set off immediately."

"How are you going? Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Thinking that the thing that Lord Zhang wanted them to steal was not in Ping'an Town, Xiang Jiannan looked at his master and asked.

They had agreed to go together in pairs, so why was he the only one wearing night clothes? He had a bad feeling. Based on his understanding of the old Taoist priest, there must be a reason for this. Could he be asked to lead the way?

"The nightgown you are wearing was left by my master in his early years. It is the only one in our Ping An Temple."

After briefly explaining himself, he left the house and walked into the courtyard with his back to Xiang Jiannan. Gao Yuan held up his whisk as if he was looking for a direction. Finally, he locked his target in the southeast direction, then turned to the young Taoist priest and said, "Disciple, you have always wanted to see my divine movement method. Today, you have the chance."

"It's only a hundred miles to the county town. It only takes a breath of time for me to get you and me there."

"The divine method of walking, really?"

Seeing the old Taoist holding up his whisk and his lips suddenly moving a few times, a cold wind blew in his face. Xiang Jiannan hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up.

When I came to the master, I didn't know what to do, so I could only reach out and grab the corner of his clothes.

My heart is full of anticipation at the moment, and I don’t have time to think about some things in detail.

It arrived in a flash.

If I could learn this kind of magic in my lifetime, I could travel anywhere in the world.

The only thing in his mind was what his master had just said: "It will be over in a breath." Standing beside him and waiting quietly, Xiang Jiannan felt that his body was somewhat out of control.

He trembled slightly and tried hard to calm down. Soon he realized that the old Taoist priest seemed to want to break free from his hands, and his body stopped suddenly.

Then he pinched the corner of the clothes even harder, and the area he grasped was further expanded.

Then I heard the master yawn, and I was immediately infected. After I closed my mouth and opened my eyes, everything around me suddenly changed.

There was a city wall in front of him, and with a yawn, he changed his place from Ping'an Temple.

"arrive?"

His eyes could see very clearly under the cover of night. Seeing the old Taoist nod, Xiang Jiannan's anticipation was still high in his heart.

I loosened my clothes and walked around for a few steps. My enthusiasm suffered an unprecedented blow.

"So easy! How did you do it, Master?"

I felt a few gusts of cold wind and that yawn. Was it a signal that a spell was being cast?

I can't even get enough of it! "What a fuss, that's all, it's because I'm not familiar with you."

"Disciple, just tell me whether it is a god or not."

"God! But why not spread it directly into the city?"

"There are many monks in the city, and they love to eavesdrop when it's late at night."

They walked to the foot of the city wall and chatted with Xiang Jiannan. The door had been closed by then, and Gao Yuan's voice sounded very clear. As soon as the two of them stood still, they heard a question coming from the city wall. In the middle of the night, at such a high distance, his ears were really good.

"Who are you? We'll talk about it tomorrow if you want to go into the city."

“See?”

Ignoring the inquiries from the city wall, Gao Yuan walked a few steps along the wall and turned back to Xiang Jiannan and said:

"Disciple, how high can you jump now? If you climb from this position, you will definitely not be discovered."

"I don't know. Anyway, there's no problem entering our Taoist temple. One or two feet?"

Estimating the height of the city wall in front of him to be about ten meters, Xiang Jiannan was not very confident, so he naturally would not be overconfident.

The master's intention was obviously to jump over the city wall. In his opinion, this movement was no less than his magical speed.

Jumping high also requires some skills, in case you are discovered by the soldiers guarding the city.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the master's expression immediately understood, suddenly reached out and grabbed him, and flew up the wall.

He didn't need to rely on any force during the journey. He just jumped lightly and carried himself into the city.

It was just a little accident.

Before the two of them landed, they were seen throughout the entire process by several soldiers guarding the city.

The old Taoist's method must have not worked.

"Look up at the sky!"

"Someone is coming into town at night!"

"Go and report to the boss."

"Hey, shut up!"

"I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar, it turned out to be the old Taoist priest!"

As soon as he landed, he was surrounded by soldiers under the city. Last time, he was protected by Song Erle and didn't get a close look. Xiang Jiannan didn't expect that a small county town would be so heavily guarded. Fortunately, the other party knew his master, and the person on duty tonight was the one who stopped them from leaving the city last time.

The one who had Qi Mi and was finally cured by his master with a thunder talisman.

He was very surprised to see the two of them, and scolded his men not to say anything.

"It's you, Taoist priest. I'm so lucky."

"I wonder why the old Taoist priest came into the city so late at night?"

"Forget it. I haven't come to thank you for what happened last time."

The habitual questioning ended in a flash, and the grateful soldier leader raised his hand to signal them to do as they please. He directly let Gao Yuan and Xiang Jiannan go.

He is the man who knows the occasion best, and now is not the time to stop and talk for a long time.

He waited until the two Taoists completely disappeared from his sight before turning back and giving a look to his men behind him.

"Be on high alert, don't scream and shout when something happens. I was the one who let those two Taoist priests go!"

"Master, did you know this all along?"

Not knowing the exact location of their destination, Xiang Jiannan and the old Taoist priest walked along the quiet street for a long time and finally stopped in front of a house.

There was a plaque with the words "Qian Mansion" written on it, and there were several big red lanterns hanging at the door.

The family that Mr. Zhang mentioned was named Qian. They came into the city late at night this time for a book in the mansion.

It's hidden in the master's study. Lord Zhang said it's pretty easy to find.

But I certainly won’t believe it.

"You must be careful once you enter. It's such a big mansion, and there are countless servants."

"I'll go in first, and you follow behind."

He jumped into the wall again. Feeling that his master spoke less, Xiang Jiannan immediately set out to catch up.

The walls of residential houses cannot be compared with city walls. Although it is called a deep courtyard, it is not difficult to enter.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, I saw bright lights all around me. In an instant, lights gathered and I was surrounded.

There are indeed quite a lot of servants in the Qian Mansion. Including the maids, there are at least dozens of them. Where is the old master now? He was caught as soon as he came in!

"Who are you to dare to break into Qian's house at night?"

Being stared at by dozens of servants, he was speechless. Coupled with the slim night outfit he was wearing, Xiang Jiannan knew that he would not be able to explain himself clearly.

He didn't come here with good intentions in the first place, and as soon as he took action, he ended up in failure.

He grinned at the people around him but couldn't find a reason to do so. His brain worked and he finally said dryly:

"Wrong way, sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he moved to jump out again. However, the dozens of servants standing beside him were not willing to give him the chance. With a word "capture him", they disrupted the little Taoist's formation.

There were servants among the retainers who were faster than him, and there were so many of them that it would take some time for him to escape.

A group of people attacked the little Taoist priest, and the originally quiet Qian Mansion soon became a mess.

No one knew where the old Taoist priest had gone.

After finally escaping from the Qian Mansion with a dozen servants following him, Xiang Jiannan finally realized the benefits of the nightgown.

Sportswear, anyone who wears it knows it.

I haven't discovered its other functions yet, and I want to hide, but the group of servants behind me won't let me.

I rushed around in the alleys, hoping that my master would show up soon to help me.

The old Taoist priest should be safe. When he was at Qian's house, he didn't hear any news about him being arrested.

It's impossible to imagine.

In panic, he was about to jump over a low wall, but he saw a figure lying on the top of the wall.

When I got closer, I saw it was Song Erle. His expression of waiting for a good show was exactly the same as his master's.

"Little Taoist Priest"

"Don't talk."

He reached out to pull Xiang Jiannan, but the other party raised his leg and jumped away from his head. When Song Erle turned around, the servants had already rushed in front of him.

He then stood up on the low wall, drew a ball of cold light from his waist, and said in a puzzled tone:

"Are you that scared? Just knock them all down. Hey, hey, hey, stop right now!"

"It's unreasonable. I am an accomplice of the man in black. Are you blind?"
