Chapter 211
211 "Forget it..."
He stared at Gao Yuan's raised finger for a long time. During this period, the anger value in his body fluctuated repeatedly. Xiang Jiannan saw uneasiness on the old Taoist's face.
The internationally accepted hand gesture in the distance really has no other meaning, and the old master seems to want to remind himself.
The worry in his tone made the atmosphere in the tent tense. Wang and his party, who had been silent till now, opened their eyes wide again.
Since entering Ping'an Temple, the eldest son of the Wang family, who originally had very rich expressions, has gradually become more monotonous.
"Master, why are you always so fussy?"
I was annoyed by the old Taoist's bad habit of only saying half of what he was going to say. Because of his actions, Xiang Jiannan felt that his anger level began to soar.
I had just started to improve the image of the old Taoist priest in my mind, but who knew that he would not give me any face at all.
When you talk, you can't put your fingers down first, and you keep gesturing. Could it be that you are self-taught? "I am not being fussy, I am just afraid that you will be upset if I say it."
He symbolically stood up from the couch, and after he finished speaking, he saw that Xiang Jiannan's face looked very bad. He was silent for a moment, and Gao Yuan finally put away his fingers and added:
"I saw three green lights following you into the sea. When you entered the water, the word death was written on it."
"Master, are you sure?"
Xiang Jiannan didn't feel anything when listening to Gao Yuan's words, so he asked in a neither hurried nor slow tone.
He seems to be numb now. If it were in the past, he would definitely have the same expression as Wang Yihang.
At this moment, he was staring at herself blankly, with complicated and mixed emotions in his eyes.
The word "death" really doesn't arouse any interest.
"I'm not sure. The speed of the green light was too fast. I can't be sure if there were three of them at that time."
In response to Xiang Jiannan's calm questioning, Gao Yuan hesitated and muttered softly, trying hard to recall.
The young Taoist priest didn't care about such behavior. Without waiting for him to finish his thoughts, he turned around and continued to roast his Taoist robe.
If the old Taoist priest behaved like this, he would feel relieved, because the two of them were often not on the same wavelength.
Are you asking about the amount of green energy? "Brother."
Squatting down with Xiang Jiannan and feeling the waves of heat, Wang Yihang finally spoke cautiously.
He felt that Xiang Jiannan was acting very abnormally now, perhaps he had not yet recovered from what happened before.
The master never thinks twice about what he says. Even I am not as calm as him now.
At least listen to what the master has to say.
"Master, I'll leave everything to you from now on."
He took the opportunity to give Wang and his entourage a word of advice. Seeing that Wang was very reluctant to leave and spoke as if he was going to attend his own funeral in advance, Xiang Jiannan lowered his voice.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he saw the corners of Wang Yixing's mouth twitched a few times. His desire to tease had not yet been fully satisfied when a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the tent.
It was Li Si who had just returned after dealing with some matters. Behind him were Li Jin, Tang Ning and others.
As soon as I entered the tent, I found that the atmosphere inside was not right. The old Taoist priest was lying on the couch with a comfortable expression, but his two disciples did not look very happy.
I can understand Xiang Jiannan's behavior, but is this other Taoist priest so emotional?
I didn't see him with this expression even when we were at the beach. He held up his Taoist robe and looked like he was about to cry.
Did they come in at the wrong time? Did they delay the true feelings between the two Taoist priests? "Old Taoist priest!"
Because someone came in and forcibly suppressed the momentum, he immediately turned his face away when Li Si noticed it. Wang Yihang was very embarrassed to hide it. After he looked at the stove seriously, he spoke immediately. Li Si first said to Gao Yuan who was on the couch:
"We have prepared a banquet in Lord Wang's tent, and brought a few sets of change of clothes."
"You two Taoist priests should change into the robes first. I will hand them over to you later."
After he finished speaking, Li Jin came forward with a tray and handed over the prepared dry clothes.
Why didn't you say so earlier when you have clothes to change? Li Si had never thought of this before, so he took it without hesitation. Xiang Jiannan suspected that he only thought of it afterwards. After changing, he felt that it was quite suitable, and immediately threw aside the Taoist robe that had been baked for a long time but still not dried.
Judging from the color, the clothes he was wearing belonged to a taciturn man. He was holding a banquet in Lord Wang’s tent, and he was indeed the person in charge of flood control this time.
No one knew what had happened, but Li Si from the Demon-Suppressing Division had become a wage earner.
"This first glass of wine should naturally be in honor of the old Taoist priest."
After the food was served, they immediately got down to business. Without much formality, Lord Wang was the first to pick up the wine glass.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Now I am only worried about whether the green dragon will make a comeback. Judging from the current situation, it probably won’t.
Just report truthfully when you go back. Don't ask for safety. Wait until the banquet is over and leave a few more people behind.
"I am unworthy of this. I am just doing my duty. Please, gentlemen."
He stood up at the same time as his two disciples, and spoke with a smile on his face. Gao Yuan held the wine glass with the demeanor of a master.
At this time, he no longer mentioned Xiang Jiannan, because he knew that his disciple could not drink much.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Li Si say something leisurely beside him, hinting at something else, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Once the flood is over, the internal struggle in the Zhou Dynasty officialdom will naturally begin. As a Taoist, you should be careful.
"Old Taoist priest, don't be so modest. It's just part of your job. It makes me feel sick when I talk about it."
He put down his wine glass and sat down, staring at Gao Yuan. Li Si did not pick up his chopsticks after he finished speaking.
This sudden remark made Lord Wang and others hesitate, knowing that he wanted to argue with everyone.
One official wanted to speak immediately, but was stopped by Lord Wang's look.
He wants to do it himself.
"What does Lord Li mean? We are all citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Is there something wrong with what the old Taoist said?"
"I, Li Si, am only responsible for the four words 'laughing'. You gentlemen, just drink and don't be suspicious."
"He should be punished. I used the wrong words, old Taoist."
Speaking out again made Lord Wang and the others even more uncomfortable, and they felt that Li Si might as well bring it up directly. The officials present immediately wanted to get angry, but were interrupted by Yu Youan when they were about to speak. He raised his wine glass high, apologized, and drank another glass by himself: "This matter has nothing to do with the old Taoist priest."
Seeing Gao Yu'an raise his head to drink again, he wanted to catch up with him while talking. Li Si continued to look straight ahead, but just as he touched the wine glass, he saw the old Taoist priest stand up again, sounding like he wanted to end the argument at the table: "I think I am a few years older than all of you. I wonder if you can listen to me?"
"Master, you can say whatever you want."
"Since you are all officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why do you insist on engaging in verbal disputes?"
"The flood has been resolved. Even at my age, an old Taoist priest knows that he has reached the limit of his patience and doesn't need to endure it any longer. You guys have been nagging for so long. Can't you get serious about it?"
