Chapter 173 Absorption
173 Absorption
"Zhenwu Soap Carving Flag."
When he arrived next to the old Taoist priest, before he could say anything, he saw him throw the flag in his hand to the ground without mercy. Xiang Jiannan stretched out his right hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.
I thought the master was going to hand the flag to me, but in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
The Taoist's tone and actions are on a completely different level. The Zhenwu soap-carved flag sounds like it has a rather impressive origin.
Is it related to the Great Emperor Zhenwu? If so, why throw it on the ground?
“No need to pick it up.”
Seeing his disciple bend down with a pious look on his face to pick up the small flag, and then walk a few steps in the yard, Gao Yuan stopped walking and turned around to point out:
"This flag is fake, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for me to get it. Find a good place to throw it. Our Ping An Temple will not be short of fabric for the time being."
Of course I knew it was fake.
I couldn't make sense of it when I held it in my hand. After Gao Yuan finished speaking, I put the flag on my waist. Xiang Jiannan's subtext was that I don't mind.
If fake things can produce such an effect, then the real ones must be amazing.
Even though I don't know how to use it, I can't miss it when I see it, and it doesn't take up much space.
The crisis seems to have been resolved now. I really don’t know what those people are doing in the temple.
Come here late at night to deliver goods to them, master and apprentice?
"What happened tonight was strange."
After getting the small flag, he naturally wanted to get more clues from his master. Thinking back on everything that happened before, it seemed too magical. Xiang Jiannan approached the old Taoist priest and spoke.
To say it was thrilling was actually a bit of an understatement, mainly because the retreat of those figures was so inexplicable.
As if nothing had happened.
"It's not strange, just think of it as someone coming to give you a gift."
He looked down upon the small flag on Xiang Jiannan's waist, and when Gao Yuan mentioned the word "gift", his tone was insincere.
"Wait for that fat guy to take the account book, and then we can have some peace and quiet."
"Disciple, are you Master Zhang?"
When he turned around, he saw Xiang Jiannan with an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't know when several figures suddenly appeared in the temple. Gao Yuan immediately changed his words after turning around.
He saw the duo from a few days ago, Li Jin and Lord Zhang, who were now looking at him with a smile.
I didn't even notice their presence. I was too careless about this matter.
"Old Taoist priest."
He could hardly see as he started to move forward. When Gao Yuan kept calling him fat, Master Zhang said he could totally tolerate it at this point.
He already knew that Gao Yu'an had succeeded in the Qian Mansion, and the Taoist priest from Ping'an Temple acted swiftly.
He came to the old Taoist priest with his flesh bouncing with laughter, and after greeting him, he just waited for him to take out the things.
"I just made a small test, I hope you two Taoist priests don't mind it."
"Those five figures before were you?"
He felt a little dizzy after hearing what Lord Zhang said. He didn't expect that the matter was really related to him. Xiang Jiannan just felt redundant standing aside.
Reciprocity? Because I helped you get the Qian family diary, so I gave us a little yellow flag?
You've made such a fuss, but in the end the appearance is still fake. Sir, this is really not fair.
"Yes, the five figures are actually one person."
Xiang Jiannan explained cheerfully, not thinking there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, Lord Zhang was very satisfied with his previous actions:
"I just want you to know that what we got back is not simple. Taoist priests, do you understand now? This is called a matter of great importance!"
I understand you bastard.
As soon as he heard Lord Zhang say this, he felt a pain in the tip of his nose. Thinking that his thinking was at least on the right process, Xiang Jiannan could only roll his eyes in his heart.
The people in the Demon-Suppressing Division are all a bit strange, and today we finally found the root of their problem.
This kind of thinking is really not something that ordinary people can understand.
In silence, he looked at Gao Yuan, just waiting for the old Taoist priest to quickly get something and end the matter.
Just say that the so-called formation is all water. After listening to what Lord Zhang said, I got the explanation I wanted.
The five figures are one person? Considering Lord Zhang's size, he can indeed be divided into five.
Maybe there will be some left over.
"Thank you two Taoist priests for your help tonight."
Xiang Jiannan took the diary silently, flipped through a few pages in the night, and then Lord Zhang formally confirmed it.
After he finished speaking, seeing that neither the old Taoist priest nor his disciple spoke to him, he winked at Li Jin beside him.
The latter immediately handed over the cloth bag in his hand, and when it was opened, it contained things that Gao Yuan liked.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"We came here in a hurry and couldn't prepare much at the moment, so please don't complain about it being too little, old Taoist priest."
"Five hundred taels of silver."
"Don't come on, Taoist priest, I heard everything."
There was no smile on his face when he accepted the silver for the first time. Seeing the serious expressions on Lord Zhang and Li Jin's faces, Xiang Jiannan knew at a glance what his master was planning.
His eyes were fixed on Lord Zhang's chest, and it was obvious that he was not going to let them go so easily.
There was no chance a few days ago, but today, all the new and old grudges were settled at once.
All I saw was Lord Zhang and Li Jin turned their heads and looked at each other, and then started to touch inside the clothes.
They also understood Gao Yuan's meaning. It's just money, don't leave a penny behind, take it all!
“That’s the real gift.”
After seeing off Lord Zhang and Li Jin, a smile immediately broke out on his face. Looking at the pile of silver in front of him, Gao Yuan seemed to have completely let go of his hatred.
"Master, I guessed long ago that they would hide the treasure. People in the officialdom are bound to have ulterior motives."
As he spoke, he stuffed the silver into his chest, and finally raised his hand to pick up the cloth bag:
"My disciple, go to bed early. Remember, don't reveal anything about what happened today."
Do I need to reveal this?
Watching Gao Yuan happily return to the backyard, and thinking about how they were seen clearly when they entered the county town, Xiang Jiannan stood there with a headache.
It’s hard to say what will happen to the soldiers guarding the city. The city’s yamen runners might appear at the gate of Ping’an Temple as soon as daybreak.
There is no one on my side to talk to. The only person I still interact with frequently, Wang Yihang, should be adjusting himself in the short term.
It's no use telling him these things.
After being in a daze for a long time, he went into the backyard and placed the small yellow flag next to the gourd, but he did not feel sleepy at all.
I haven't heard the sound of Old Wang the night watchman. Maybe he drank too much and fell asleep tonight.
Hiss, hiss, hiss~~ Lying on the bed, thinking about the diary in the Qian Mansion, Xiang Jiannan really wanted to ask a question when Lord Zhang left, but he guessed that he would not say it clearly. He looked at the roof with his eyes wide open.
Suddenly I heard a slight noise beside me. I turned around and saw white smoke coming out of the gourd on the table.
The small yellow flag placed next to it had been stood up at some point, and with a hissing sound, the red and yellow flag was quickly attached to the gourd.
The movement of the two objects officially ended only when the white smoke stopped coming out of the gourd.
absorb?
He got up from the bed and walked to the table. He saw a small yellow flag pattern appearing on the gourd. Xiang Jiannan was stunned for a long time but couldn't figure out what it meant. When he reached out to touch the gourd, he only felt a flash before his eyes. It was not until he saw the water line on the edge of the Yin-Yang fish turn that a smile appeared on his face.
Did I find a treasure? This is the thing that both Lord Zhang and the old Taoist priest disliked? Can't a fake one be used?
