Chapter 176

176 He couldn’t speak clearly at the end of the drinking. He didn’t expect Li Si’s alcohol tolerance was really that poor. When he helped him into the house, Xiang Jiannan found that his master was almost done as well.

He shouted at me to quickly send Xiao Li in to rest and not to forget to cover him with animal skin.

When Xiang Jiannan came out of the house, he saw the old Taoist priest staring at the empty bowl in front of him in a daze.

His eyes were blurry and seemed unable to focus, and he burped once or twice from time to time.

The two of them drank less than a jar of wine in total, and they didn't finish it. It should be because they drank too quickly.

"Master, do you want me to help you lie down in the room for a while?"

He returned to the table and sat down in no hurry. Seeing the old Taoist priest opposite him looking shaky and dispirited, Xiang Jiannan immediately asked.

This is what he asked Li Si just now. In fact, in terms of swing amplitude, the master's strength is greater than his.

It was only because the other party was a guest and the old Taoist priest spoke first that he naturally gave up the master bedroom.

As a host, you should give the best to your guests. In front of Li Si, you must not break this rule.

"No, I will sit for a while longer."

He couldn't straighten his tongue, and raised his hand to signal Xiang Jiannan to stop working. His expression turned into one of dementia. Xiang Jiannan saw the chef opening his mouth wide, and tremblingly picked up the chopsticks as if he wanted to pick up some food. He held them in the air for a long time, then suddenly realized something and picked up the spoon to scoop a spoonful of soup.

"This is a tonic, drink more, my disciple."

“You may not have the chance again in the future.”

You two were so drunk that you almost became sworn brothers. Are you still worried that you won't be able to get the carrier pigeon from the Demon-Slaying Division in the future?

Thinking about Li Si's previous performance, he felt that the old Taoist priest should have noticed it. Xiang Jiannan just sat there and nodded when he finished speaking.

He thought that a big shot like Li Si knew his limits, but he never expected to see him drunk.

The cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty were, after all, mortal beings, and no matter where they were, there were some things they could not leave behind.

What the old Taoist said at night was very true. At the same time, from the conversation just now, he also saw Lord Li’s intentions.

He still couldn't accept the idea of ​​sworn brotherhood, otherwise he wouldn't have interrupted Li Si as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.

The food was too much to eat.

"Eat first. If you feel like it later, remember to call me."

Knowing that the master could not see any more guests in the afternoon, Xiang Jiannan stood up and walked to the front yard. He then left two words:

"Disciple will be back soon."

First go outside and see if there are any pilgrims. Judging from the master’s current condition, I can’t persuade him.

People who have drunk too much will not admit that they are drunk, so they will just let the old Taoist take his own course.

In a while, he will lie down obediently like Li Si, whether it is in the house or in the yard, it depends on whether he can catch up by then.

"Little Taoist priest, why didn't I see you practicing sword skills today?"

After standing in front of the temple for a while, Xiang Jiannan felt that the time was almost up, so he turned around and wanted to go back to the backyard to take another look.

Just as I stepped over the threshold, I heard Wang Yihang's voice. When I looked around, I saw him sticking his head around the corner on the right.

I guess he came out earlier than I did, because I didn't hear any noise.

"It's late, why are you hiding there?"

As soon as he saw Wang Yihang's head, he thought of An Wensheng. He felt that his behavior of hiding in a corner was very similar to An Wensheng. Xiang Jiannan smiled and said, "Have you realized something recently? Your breath sounds very light. If you don't speak, I can't feel you squatting down there."

"Nothing going on at the Chen residence today?"

"I took a half-day off, and when I walked here, I suddenly fell asleep."

He just kept smiling foolishly at Xiang Jiannan the whole way. Seeing that he was obviously still uncomfortable, Xiang Jiannan didn't point it out.

Wang Yihang's self-guidance has always been good. There have been no rumors coming from the town in the past few days. His appearance in Ping'an Temple today proves that he can at least get over what happened that night. As for to what extent, Xiang Jiannan has no idea.

The old master didn't care about Wang Yixing's mental health issues. Judging from the old Taoist's later words, he treated Wang Yixing as his own.

He believed in Wang Yixing's ability to relieve himself. He had said it many times that there were problems with the house and the man thrown into the fire.

At that time, the old Taoist priest was called "Tian Xingdao".

"Would you like to join the meditation session?"

He was still thinking about the old Taoist priest, and he realized that he was now sleeping soundly on the stone table. As Xiang Jiannan spoke, he was ready to leave.

He can still remember the thought that came to his mind when he woke up today. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the only relative he has is Gao Yuan.

No matter how high your spiritual practice is, you still have to take care of your body. Now that the seasons are changing, it is no longer the summer when we were fanning ourselves with a palm-leaf fan and sweating profusely.

"Can you teach me Taoism?"

Without saying a word, he followed Xiang Jiannan into the Taoist temple. When they were almost approaching the backyard, Wang Yixing suddenly spoke behind him.

The words were spoken very carefully, and when they were heard for the first time, Xiang Jiannan thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"

"I would like to ask the young Taoist priest to teach me the Dao."

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

He stopped and looked eager, and this time he shouted it out with his throat. Wang Yihang said firmly, and Xiang Jiannan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly:

"I have no say in this matter. You should ask the master in person later."

"He should be more talkative now."

At this time, everyone in the county town had eaten and drunk their fill. When they came out of the restaurant, the head of the Qian family followed behind them. After Master Guo paid the bill and came out, Zhang San formally said goodbye to everyone.

He also had to take the head of the Qian family back to the capital to report, so there was no need to wait for Li Si to come back for the time being.

The head of the Qian family did not have a single scar on his body, which was consistent with what Li Si had described at Ping'an Temple.

He just looked depressed, and when he heard that they were about to set off for Beijing, his expression showed some resistance.

"Please don't spend today. Come back someday and I, Zhang, will definitely treat you all back."

He was carefree and totally unlike what a high-level member of the Demon Subduing Division should be like. Having heard some rumors about Zhang San, Lin Zhen and others naturally took his words as a joke.

They had to get rid of the smiling plague god in front of them first. After this meal, their mouths were almost cramped from laughing at him. The head of the Qian family was definitely in danger this time. No matter how much Lord Zhang assured them, they knew it in their hearts.

The capital is not a place where you can easily make connections. The waters there are very deep.

Especially when so many inappropriate people are involved.

"Your Excellency is joking."

Lin Zhen had always had a good relationship with the head of the Qian family. After he finished speaking, he turned around and said goodbye to him. He had never felt good about it.

He could also understand that the head of the Qian family wanted to save his life, but he acted too quickly.

Not long after Zhang San appeared in front of him, he spilled the beans.

In front of Lin Zhen, who knows what he will say after arriving in Beijing.

"Are you not going to wait for Master Li anymore?"

Seeing that Zhang San just smiled after hearing what he said and had other things to say in his mind, Lin Zhen felt it was inconvenient to say it in front of everyone.

Lord Li said he was going to Ping'an Temple. He and Zhang San appeared at Qian's house together at night.

"No need, just wait for him to do something."

This time when he returned to Beijing, he did the same thing. He signaled his two men to take good care of the head of the Qian family. After getting on his horse, Zhang San paused and gave his final instructions:

"Little Li has always been very agile. If he appears in the city again, please ask Lord Lin to have him return to the capital as soon as possible and do not host a banquet for him."

Lin Zhen listened and nodded in agreement when he saw a gleam of light in his eyes.

No matter how polite Lord Zhang was, he was also from the Demon-Suppressing Division. Just one word, "Xiao Li", made him feel a little overwhelmed.

I just don't know why Lord Li went to Ping'an Temple. According to Lin Zhen's guess, things are definitely not as simple as he said when he left.

Reminiscing about the past? That's a really bad reason.
