Chapter 2 Looking Back and Smiling

002 Looking back and smiling

They were silent all the way until they reached the middle-aged man's house. Xiang Jiannan was actually a little dizzy when he saw the plaque on the door. The red light was flashing so frequently today, appearing in front of his eyes from time to time as if it was free. As a result, he felt his head swelling not long after he set out. It was not until he stepped over a few steps that the trance subsided a little.

Chen Mansion? The master's business has expanded to this place.

Looking around at the talisman papers everywhere, Xiang Jiannan thought to himself that no wonder the middle-aged man looked so familiar. The Chen family was considered a wealthy family in Ping'an Town. He should have met them before when he was out and about. He had heard that the third son of the Chen family was obsessed with fame and success. With such a scholarly air, he must be the third son, Chen Jingxuan.

He is also a poor scholar who has failed in the imperial examinations many times, but he still seems to be struggling to survive. Today he was able to go to the Taoist temple to argue with the master. Logically speaking, this task is really difficult for him.

The third son of the Chen family basically doesn't care about trivial matters at home. This is well known to everyone in Ping'an Town. He has been immersed in poetry and books for a long time. It is said that it is quite difficult to meet him. I am also very lucky that I can still leave an impression of him.

It's all fate.

"Is the old man feeling better?"

Leading everyone directly into the backyard, Chen Jingxuan was busy nodding to the servants all the way, showing the gentle and elegant demeanor of a scholar. Even when asking questions, he spoke softly. When a maid spoke to answer, his kind and harmless face was immediately filled with worry.

"Reporting to the Third Young Master, the master still can't get out of bed."

"Dad, I brought back the old Taoist priest from Ping An Temple."

Hurriedly signaling everyone else to go about their own business, Chen Jingxuan ignored Xiang Jiannan and his apprentice and pushed open a wooden door first. When Xiang Jiannan and his master followed him in tactfully, they saw him kneeling on the ground. On the bed in the room, an old man with a sallow complexion was trying his best to calm his breathing and soothing himself with his hands.

"Isn't he still alive? Go and invite the Taoist priest in."

"Master Chen, I am here to beg for mercy again today."

Before the tearful Chen Jingxuan could adjust his mood, Xiang Jiannan's master spoke before him. After all, the Chen family was a wealthy family. As soon as they entered the door, they presented him and his disciple with a big drama of fatherly love and filial piety. As an old Taoist priest, he had practiced for half his life and thought that he had seen through some things in the world. However, when he saw that scene, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. While speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the disciple beside him.

We should do the same in the future, especially when your master is no longer able to do so.

"Master, you are here."

Different from Chen Jingxuan's attitude towards the two of them, when Old Man Chen saw the two Taoists approaching, the vitality in his eyes was obviously revived, and his tone was respectful and urgent, as if he had grasped the last straw:

"Master, save me! That evil spirit wants to kill me!"

"Don't panic, Mr. Chen. I came here today to help you eliminate the evil creature."

Changing his attitude of wanting to get in on the act and playing dirty, Xiang Jiannan's master suddenly became full of righteousness, and with a resounding voice, he began to assure the Chen father and son from a distance of several meters:

"That monster actually dared to disturb Ping'an Town again. I, the old Taoist priest, will never let it off this time! This time I will destroy its soul and bring justice to the Chen family!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be unsatisfied and asked Xiang Jiannan if he had anything to add: "Disciple, what do you think?"

As long as you are happy. Xiang Jiannan had already experienced his master's ability to change on the spot, so he didn't have anything to say at this time. He just looked determined and nodded a few times in the next few seconds.

The old man of the Chen family is already in such a state. If they don't give them some hope, can they still be considered human beings? Besides, I came here to help the master clean up his mess. It doesn't matter what.

Since the money cannot be returned to others, they still have to put in the effort. They are just two poor Taoist priests in Ping'an Town. They are different from those ruffians on the streets. They are just afraid that they will not be able to do it when the time comes. Judging from Chen Jingxuan's expression, this scholar should have wanted this result since early on. After the master finished speaking, his eyes became much more spiritual.

"In that case, let's prepare first."

After receiving Xiang Jiannan's silent support, Xiang Jiannan's master became more imposing. He looked at the old man of the Chen family and immediately raised his own physical needs:

"I have been thinking about countermeasures all morning and have not eaten anything yet. In my opinion, it is better to talk about this matter while eating. While it is still early, I will talk to you about what I am thinking about at the dinner table..."

It was past three o'clock in the morning.

After eating and drinking for free for a whole day at Chen's house, Xiang Jiannan and his master finally waited for the time to come. The entire backyard was quiet at this time, and the only ones who were breathing were the two of them.

When it was just getting dark, the Chen family started to clear the area. When they carried the old man out, they even took his cat away. Before leaving, although they told Xiang Jiannan to just call them if he had any problems, he actually wanted to plug his ears the moment he turned around.

Hopefully, the unclean thing would appear in the backyard first like before, because they couldn’t stand it if they followed the old man.

It's all in vain.

"Disciple, are you sleepy?"

Sitting in the yard with his whisk tightly grasped in both hands, Xiang Jiannan's master was still the same as usual. The lanterns around him were densely lit, casting a calm look on his face.

"It's okay. Do you think it's possible that someone is playing tricks on me?"

Having already understood the general situation of the matter through breakfast, Xie Xiaoyu now tried to stick to his original idea.

There have been many strange things happening in Ping'an Town recently, but he has not actually experienced them. He only heard about them from other people, and the final result was nothing. The more bizarre the stories were, the more he felt that there was some water in them.

Ghosts and demons do exist in this world, but they don't appear that often. The Chen family incident lasted for a few days, and everything we have heard so far was actually just what they said.

As for sending away several waves of people, maybe it was done intentionally to cover up the truth. It doesn't seem to make sense, but it is not completely impossible. After all, people's hearts are hidden. If huge interests are really involved, making a family in chaos is nothing.

"It shouldn't be. Mr. Chen is already like that."

Noticing that the posted talisman paper seemed to swing more rapidly, Xiang Jiannan's master said with certainty:

"Look at all the talismans posted all over the yard, and the useless instruments in the house. Who would mess with them for no reason?"

This is what is most questionable.

Xiang Jiannan had some thoughts in his mind but did not tell his master. He did not notice the series of changes happening around him. He still wanted to lead things to the human side, so he bit his nails and tried to stay relaxed.

Old Master Chen has been staying in the backyard for the past few days. Isn't it suspicious? There are many other suspicious points like this. "Disciple, look, what is that?"

Xiang Jiannan was sitting in the yard with his head down, thinking about something, when he felt the master beside him push him. He raised his head and looked forward in the direction of his gaze, and saw a person standing at the door of the room where Grandpa Chen used to live.

She was dressed in white and her hair was so long that it almost touched the ground.

Damn it! Xiang Jiannan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Goose bumps covered his body. With the sound of cold wind blowing in his ears, when he turned around, the master beside him had disappeared.

"You bold monster, die now!"

Just when he thought that the master was going to show his Taoist qualities, Xiang Jiannan heard another angry rebuke in his ear. When he looked towards the door again, he saw that there was still only the man in white standing there alone.

Master, where is the master? It was not until he looked behind him following the source of the voice that he saw his master lying on the wall with an angry look on his face. Although he was nervous, his momentum did not drop at all.

How did you manage to slip away and climb the wall in such a short time? You definitely sold out your teammates! Looking back in panic, Xiang Jiannan found that he could not stand up at this moment. The most direct reason why he had analyzed it for so long was because he was afraid. The appearance of the man in white was highly consistent with everything in the movie. He did not dare to believe that it was a penis.

"The Taoist priest is asking me?"

After a short silence, there was finally some movement. The person in white standing at the door began to turn around slowly, and her voice was soft and pleasant to the ears, which made Xiang Jiannan instantly feel that he had made a wrong judgment. When she turned her face completely around, her exquisite appearance amazed the old Taoist priest lying on the wall.

"Where are you from, girl? Be careful not to catch a cold in the middle of the night."

Distance does not affect his appreciation of beauty.

"Thank you for your concern, Taoist priest. My home is right here."

The woman in white had eyes and brows as bright as stars, and she laughed to herself after she finished speaking. Her laughter seemed to carry some kind of magic, and for a moment it made Xiang Jiannan stand up unconsciously.

Old Master Chen has a beautiful woman hidden in his golden house! Tsk tsk tsk... He has such a high standard! Just as he stood firm and had not yet had time to speak to her, he saw the woman in white suddenly tilt her head again. A breeze blew by, and the head that was still smiling fell to the ground with a thud.
