Chapter 212
212 What crime should be convicted of inciting others to fight in the Zhou Dynasty? And the person being instigated is a public official, so is the crime even more serious? I didn't expect the old Taoist priest to suddenly say such a thing. As his voice fell, Xiang Jiannan saw that the atmosphere at the wine table magically improved.
After just a moment of stunned silence, Li Si and Lord Wang and the others seemed to have put aside their past grudges. Both sides stopped fighting, sat down again, and their faces became gentle.
No one said anything more because of the old Taoist's words. After Li Si picked up the wine glass, the original tense situation instantly became a thing of the past.
"drink."
"Your Excellencies invite you."
"Master Li is so polite. Come on, come on."
What's going on? Did the master do that on purpose? This move is really novel.
The scene suddenly changed and he suddenly felt that he could not handle the alcohol. He drank it all again, bent over and sat down. Xiang Jiannan felt his stomach getting hot.
Turning his head to look at Wang and his group, he saw that he had quickly integrated into the camp. He was the only outsider in the entire tent.
I thought something would happen, so I took a risky move, but Lord Wang and his men didn't fall into the old Taoist's trap.
"Sir, there is a scholar outside who wants to see you."
Sitting in a chair and watching the harmonious scene, which was as warm as old friends gathering again, Xiang Jiannan soon heard someone outside the tent reporting loudly.
The voice passed through the crowd and entered his ears. The word "scholar" forced him to stand up.
Green Dragon? Probably not.
"Scholar? Sent by the court?"
All the persuasion stopped, and before Xiang Jiannan could stop what he was doing, he saw Li Si looking back in confusion.
When Lord Wang heard the person outside the tent answer that he didn't know, he had already wanted to go out and take a look.
Unexpectedly, someone at the table was one step faster than him, and his figure moved quickly and passed by Lord Wang. When he took two steps, Xiang Jiannan saw that his master had already lifted the curtain. His hurried back made everyone realize something, and when they followed him out, they saw the old Taoist priest talking to a young man.
Dressed in blue, like a scholar.
It's really him!
Unlike Li Si and the others, who were very familiar with Qing Jiao's scholarly appearance, Xiang Jiannan listened to his conversation with the old Taoist priest. The two of them did not care about the people approaching behind them, and they talked back and forth without a chance to interrupt for the time being: "Taoist priest, why don't you go back? If it's any later, the monks of the Galan Temple will probably tear down your Taoist temple."
"I know what's going on. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come this far."
"That Zhenhai Pearl has disturbed me, and you still have the mood to drink here."
"This time, the Galan Temple has taken out twelve sea-suppressing pearls. My East Sea will not be peaceful in the short term."
“They also need to have that ability!”
He waited until the pale-faced scholar turned his gaze towards him. He could only listen to the familiar words beside him. Among all the onlookers, only Xiang Jiannan could still hold on.
The most direct feeling was that something was going to happen at Ping An Temple. This flood was related to the Zhenhai Pearl of the Galan Temple. Li Si and his group wanted to speak at this time, but the green dragon just looked at them symbolically:
"I'm not afraid, Taoist, you should think about it more."
After saying that, he just waited for Gao Yuan's reaction.
"Disciple, let's go."
Yin Qingjiao seemed to have finally made up his mind after hearing his last sentence. He turned around and said to the two disciples. Xiang Jiannan saw hesitation on Gao Yuan's face.
Afterwards, he looked at Li Si and gave him a few instructions, asking him to temporarily entrust Wang and his party to his side.
"My disciple cannot return to the temple yet. I will leave first. Master Li, please send him back in a carriage in one day."
Li Si felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. It was the first time someone was so polite. What on earth had happened in Ping'an Temple?
"Is it because of the Galan Temple?"
"The abbot of Nagara Temple and I are old acquaintances. If we go back together, we can talk."
Naturally, they also heard what the white-faced scholar said. The twelve sea-suppressing pearls meant something special.
The monks of the Galan Temple want to demolish the Ping An Temple? Where did this pale-faced scholar hear this news?
"It's inconvenient to involve too many people this time. Come on, this is the first time that the master has really given you an order."
As he spoke, his beard fluttered. He declined the suggestions of Li Si and others and spoke to Wang and his party above Gao Yuan.
This registered disciple was very dissatisfied with his arrangement, and the more dissatisfied he was, the more he could not let him go back.
After seeing Wang Yihang lower his head as if in agreement, he called Xiang Jiannan. Without saying a single extra word, the two of them disappeared from the camp in the blink of an eye.
Li Si and others were panicked when they saw that the pale-faced scholar who came to report the news had not left, but was just waiting to ask him questions.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Even if Taoism in the Great Zhou Dynasty was in decline, there was no reason to demolish the Galan Temple at will.
The news is not reliable!
"Master, you are back!"
Xiang Jiannan was brought back to Ping'an Town by Gao Yu'an. As soon as he landed, he saw all the men, women, young and old in the town gathered in front of Ping'an Temple. Although the sudden appearance of the master and disciple surprised them, compared with the situation inside the temple, they had no time to discuss such things.
He had not returned for many days, and Ping'an Temple was in chaos from inside to outside. Pei Dafa's voice echoed through the sky and earth in the distance, and it sounded like he wanted to kill someone.
"A group of monks were rummaging around inside, and Old Master Chen was so angry that he was carried back home."
"How can this person be called a monk?"
Walking towards Ping'an Temple with everyone, Xiang Jiannan listened to their complaints along the way. He did not expect that the monks from the Galan Temple would be so bold.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was a political power after all. How dare this Jialan Temple demolish the Taoist temple in front of everyone! With mixed feelings in his heart, he just stepped over the threshold and saw Pei Dafa leading a group of people in the courtyard to scold.
He had his hands on his hips and looked uninjured. In the incense hall, a dozen monks were coming in and out silently.
When everyone came out, they were holding one or two things in their hands. They looked very familiar, and they were all items in the incense hall.
Incense sticks, oil lamps, and even curtains.
It seems that he wants to completely empty the incense hall.
"Master, you are finally back! These monks said they were from the Galan Temple and they wouldn't listen no matter how much we scolded them."
He didn't turn around until Gao Yuan approached. Seeing the owner of Ping'an Temple coming back, Pei Dafa finally put down the burden in his heart. He had been in high spirits just now, and when he heard Gao Yuan coming back, he couldn't help but curse a few words.
No one knew when this group of monks came. When they found out, they saw that the gate of Ping'an Temple was open. They thought that the old Taoist priest had returned. However, after entering the temple, they found that it was not the case.
No matter how they asked, they could only get simple answers, which really turned the town upside down. Pei Dafa, as the mayor of the town, lost his mind on the spot when he saw Mr. Chen suddenly fainted.
The monks must have done something. Mr. Chen has always been in good health, so how could he faint because of a few words? This is simply robbery!
"All of you go out first. I want to have a good talk with them. Don't go out before dark!"
With a smile in his eyes and a look of consolation, the monks in the temple were still busy. Gao Yuan asked everyone to go back first.
After almost forcibly clearing out the Taoist temple, he and Xiang Jiannan entered the temple again and only then did he feel at ease to close the door.
There are so many things in the incense hall of their Ping'an Temple that the monks from the Galan Temple cannot move them all at once. This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and they must start with closing the Taoist gate.
