Chapter 195
195 "Come and see if it's them."
Seeing the fat monk approaching, Gao Yuan turned his head and asked Lao Wangtou in no hurry, but saw him run away several feet in an instant. Before leaving, he turned back and shouted: "The young Taoist priest is right. I will go tell the mayor right now. It was raining so hard that I couldn't see clearly before. I don't know if the mayor is asleep now."
This old man, what time is it now?
Unexpectedly, Old Wang would choose to run away at this time. Watching him creating splashes of water, Xiang Jiannan felt that his and his master's abilities were questioned.
It seems that the authority of Ping'an Temple has not yet penetrated into the hearts of everyone in the town. On such a stormy night, how could Pei Dafa not have fallen asleep yet?
At this moment, I don’t know how many times I have had this dream.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Ever since he traveled to the Zhou Dynasty, his sleep time had been guaranteed. However, many times, he would feel groggy when he woke up the next day because he slept too long.
Sleep at sunset.
Except for special families like Chen Jingxuan, most people in the town should follow this schedule.
"Love or hatred?"
After Old Wang fled from the battlefield, he finally took care of the fat monk. Standing in the rain, his tone was a little low. Xiang Jiannan saw that his master suddenly opened his umbrella.
The people who were getting wet in the rain were all monks. When I first saw them, I was a little surprised.
How could a monk break into their Ping'an Temple in the middle of the night? The old Taoist's question seemed a bit unnecessary.
The people outside the wall were obviously in the same group. They just stood there without saying anything, and seemed to be very afraid of the old Taoist priest.
"Master Gao, I am from Baofo Temple."
It was obvious that he was targeting Gao Yuan's umbrella, but he saw the rejection before he got close, so the fat monk continued to try to get close to her.
After a few words, seeing that the old Taoist priest was still unmoved, he immediately mentioned his fellow apprentice who had many friends: "Master Liaokong is your fellow apprentice, and I am Liaoran, the abbot of Baofo Temple."
"I saw that a long time ago. If it weren't for Sora's sake, I wouldn't have kept you until this time."
He looked far away at the people outside the wall, his eyes flickering back and forth, and Gao Yuan sighed: "You guys are not steady at all. I just repaired the wall this afternoon, and it cost a lot of money."
"Let them pay!"
When he heard what Gao Yuan said, he turned around with a look of gloating, and suddenly said fiercely.
It was as if he had become friends with Gao Yuan and was the first to speak out, completely excluding himself.
I got attacked when I was escaping just now, and it happened to cause a small noise. If the old Taoist priest was willing to help, my chances of escaping would increase several times.
My junior fellow apprentice said that Gao Yuan’s cultivation was unfathomable. Although they had never fought each other, he always believed in it.
The two Taoist priests beside him were not easy to deal with. Although the young Taoist priest's cultivation was only at the third level, he had an aura all over his body and had been prepared to take action long ago.
"We are from Jialan Temple. We are here in the name of the abbot to invite Master Liaoran. I hope the old Taoist priest will give us some convenience."
Although he was itching to show off his skills, he didn't expect to get together with them today. Monk Nengren spoke at this time.
After walking around for a while, I knew his intention before Leran knocked down the wall. There was only one Taoist temple in Ping'an Town, and there was an old Taoist priest named Gao Yuan.
He had a lukewarm feeling towards Gao Yuan, especially since he came out today with a group of fellow disciples.
This kind of lineup is not common in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among the fellow disciples around him, the lowest cultivation level is also the sixth rank.
I believe that without me saying much, Master Gao can naturally understand the interests involved.
Their Jialan Temple enjoyed privileges among privileges in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention that Buddhism and Taoism had always been at odds with each other.
I have only heard that Master Kong has a good relationship with Gao Yuan. As for his senior brother, I have never heard that he has any intersection with the old Taoist priest. There is no need for the other party to offend their Jialan Temple for this unfamiliar monk.
If he followed his own thoughts, Gao Yuan should have driven Liangran out of Ping'an Temple next.
"Forty taels, you can take the person away."
It seemed that he had already made up his mind. After Monk Nengren spoke, Gao Yuan immediately spoke.
Everyone felt that he was only interested in getting his losses back, and Neng Ren and others looked at each other after hearing this.
Then he started to take out money.
It is not the time to take action with Gao Yuan yet, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. They can afford the forty taels.
However, this action angered Laran. He just shouted loudly and looked at Gao Yuan and spoke slowly.
"Monk, I will pay fifty taels, and the extra ten taels will be used as the cost of staying in the temple tonight."
After a long time of preparation, I thought you were going to make a move. I thought Ran could not bear the humiliation, but after hearing him raise the price, Xiang Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief. The fat monk was able to bend and stretch! This is called a man of insight. This abbot of Baofo Temple is a very wise man.
When the price of fifty taels was offered, the old Taoist priest was immediately impressed. However, the corners of his mouth twitched inadvertently, and he remained silent, with the umbrella in his hand lowered a little.
Because fifty taels would mean going to war with the monks of Jialan Temple, the master thought twice and felt that this deal was not worth it.
He knows his master better than the monks do. Even though he hasn't expressed his opinion yet, Xiang Jiannan knows that he has already been tempted. The temple is not very popular today, and the wall is destroyed. How could the old Taoist miss this opportunity?

However, Xiang Jiannan did not want to make enemies with the monks of Jialan Temple because he did not have the level of cultivation like the old Taoist priest.
Just when I was about to say something to remind him, I suddenly heard Monk Nengren speak again.
He fully demonstrated his fighting spirit, as if to drive the corruption of money into the abyss:
"Two hundred taels. Monks do not tell lies."
"you!"
When the price of two hundred taels was announced, not only the old Taoist priest was moved, but Xiang Jiannan and Liangran were also excited.
Although he had not lived a hard life for a long time and had no feelings for money, Xiang Jiannan could not help but praise him in his heart! The local tyrant is really rich!
For example, you have to be the best in any industry, otherwise you really don’t know how easy it is to make money.
I had never expected that Monk Nengren would actually follow Liaoran's offer.
Under the cover of night and in the heavy rain, several monks paid a huge sum of money to bribe an old Taoist priest whom they hardly knew.
"Master Nengren, your words are too kind. I am not the kind of person who is greedy for money."
After waiting for a while and seeing that Ran couldn't offer a higher price, his expression softened, and Xiang Jiannan saw his master leave.
It was aimed at Monk Nengren and others.
Before crossing the ruins, his hands were already stretched straight, and he shook hands enthusiastically with several monks outside the wall. He held an umbrella but did not retract his hands.
Monk Nengren and others were puzzled by what they saw. When raindrops fell on their heads again, they remembered why.
After that, they took out money from their sleeves one after another, put the money together and nodded, and their tone became awkward.
"I left in a hurry today and didn't make much preparations. I only have 180 taels now. I hope Master Gao doesn't mind. I will definitely send the remaining 20 taels in a few days."
"Monks don't tell lies. You guys named the price. Let me think about it first, Taoist."
His expression changed again in an instant because of the twenty taels missing. Although it did not affect the speed of his hand collecting the money, Gao Yuan's tone became difficult.
Monk Nengren didn't know how to respond after hearing this. It was not until the old Taoist priest stood next to Leran that he seemed to understand.
Twenty taels? This old Taoist has something to hide.
"Fifty taels, I'll do you a favor."
Not long after, he stretched out his hand to ask for money from Ran again. He actually got the money from both ends. Gao Yu'an didn't care about the feelings of the people outside the wall at all. After he got the money again, he was finally satisfied. Then he turned around and signaled Xiang Jiannan to leave quickly.
“They are all Buddhists.”
"Just wait until the rain stops."
