Chapter 32 Three-way Game
032 Three-way game
With a plop, Xiang Jiannan was thrown to the stinky ditch by the white-faced scholar. He almost fell into the mud. After he steadied himself, he felt his breathing suddenly become freer, but he felt layers of heat waves coming towards him.
The stinking ditch seemed to be boiling, with mud rolling from east to west. With the position where he was standing as the midpoint, the two stretched iron chains had turned half red and half black at some point.
As the pale-faced scholar was slowly pulled towards the stinking ditch, more chains began to turn from black to red.
The red color was like magma that had just erupted, eroding bit by bit, and soon burned to the pale-faced scholar's hand, only a few rings away from where he was holding it.
"Throw the thunder talisman quickly!"
As if unable to withstand the scorching heat emitted by the red color, the pale-faced scholar's forehead was now covered with water beads, not knowing whether they were sweat or rain. His expression looked very exhausted. After he was reminded of this, Xiang Jiannan remembered the talisman papers in his sleeves.
He originally wanted to take another look at Ping An Temple, but after being shouted at by the white-faced scholar, he no longer dared to daydream. He took out a talisman paper from his sleeve and held it in his hand. After a brief hesitation, he finally made up his mind and threw it into the stinking ditch.
The situation is urgent, and it's hard to say whether I should be restless or not.
"Master, may you bless me."
Seeing the talisman paper about to touch the rolling mud, Xiang Jiannan muttered softly against the heat wave, the mud had already been mixed with the water, and he didn't know if the talisman paper would still be effective after being thrown down.
Zizizizi~~~ Two flashes of lightning flashed by. When Xiang Jiannan was muttering to himself, the talisman paper that fell into the stinky ditch quickly reacted. Unaffected by the rolling mud and water, the word "thunder" facing upwards instantly turned red.
Then there was a series of explosions, boom, boom, boom, sending large piles of mud into the air in a line.
Damn, this talisman paper is so powerful.
Deafened by the explosion, Xiang Jiannan immediately began to retreat. It was confirmed that the talisman paper was actually explosives. If he had calculated correctly, he and the white-faced scholar would be covered in mud in three seconds.
The master must know what is going to happen today. Judging from the effect of the talisman paper he gave, its power is amazing and it is a weapon of large-scale mass destruction.
"Which Taoist priest has nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's business?"
He didn't really care about the mud that was about to fall, and Xiang Jiannan didn't actually take a few steps back while thinking. He felt that he couldn't avoid this large-scale attack, but his brain was particularly clear because of it.
The first thing he saw when he turned around was Ping An Temple. It was separated by rain and there was no one at the door. When he looked towards the stinky ditch, he saw countless golden lights suddenly shining through the mud. The mud that was blown into the air did not fall on him. After the golden light appeared, everything that had happened before seemed to have never happened. It was only a few seconds.
"Keep throwing the thunder talisman."
At this time, they were already farther away from the stinking ditch, and the white-faced scholar spoke to Xiang Jiannan again when the golden light appeared.
When the thunder talisman exploded just now, he took advantage of the situation to pull the chain back a little, and then he felt the force relax a little. He never thought that the counterattack would come so quickly.
As expected, he was as difficult to deal with as before. After the little Taoist priest had thrown all his talismans, he would wait for his chance to make his move.
Still lost?
Xiang Jiannan was a little reluctant when he heard the white-faced scholar asking him to continue throwing the talisman paper.
The roar just now came from the air. If he dropped it again, he was afraid that he would be implicated. He was just thinking about having fun, why was he suddenly involved in such a thing? What was in the stinking ditch? It was so close to Ping An Temple, but he had no idea.
Also, why should I help this pale-faced scholar? Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was danger? He was using me!
"Taoist priest!"
While Xiang Jiannan was hesitating and thinking, the pale-faced scholar pulled the chain even more anxiously.
The young Taoist priest was really able to keep his composure as he was still thinking about random things in this situation. He pulled the iron chain and shook it a few times, which produced sparks. Some of the sparks flew to Xiang Jiannan's face, and the burning sensation immediately made him sober again.
"You can't die now if you want to. Throw the thunder talisman!"
"good."
Finally, he discovered that only golden light could be seen in the stinky ditch. Xiang Jiannan woke up as if from a dream and took out the remaining talisman paper. He was distracted just now. He didn't care about anything and just threw it away first. Since he didn't know which side was the good guy, he could only take a gamble regardless of the consequences.
Swish, swish, swish!
He quickly walked to the stinky ditch and threw out all the remaining thunder talismans. Xiang Jiannan felt relieved when he saw the large amount of golden light and no longer felt afraid. After throwing them all, he just stared at the changes in the stinky ditch.
After a few pieces of talisman paper fell into the stinking ditch, the golden light inside seemed to become much dimmer. As the pale-faced scholar pulled the chain back a few inches on the shore, an angry shout suddenly came from above: "What does that little Taoist priest with a hole on his nose have to do with you?"
Shit, he can see me!
Xiang Jiannan was suddenly startled by the sound coming from the air, and he shrank his neck and wanted to run away.
You even know that I have acne scars on my nose. Your level of cultivation is too incredible. I have thrown away all my talisman papers. Thank you both and bye.
"This is a very important place for the Dao Sect. How can we allow you to make noise?"
"What's wrong with meddling in other people's business? We in the Dao Sect have this condition! Open your eyes and watch carefully!"
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
When Xiang Jiannan was about to run away in fear, two more angry shouts were heard from the sky, and this time they brought actual action. Several lightning bolts suddenly appeared from the sky and hit the two iron chains that the white-faced scholar was holding. Then a series of explosions sounded again. After a moment of silence, Xiang Jiannan saw that the iron chain that had been taut suddenly broke.
The explosions dispersed the golden light that was gathering towards the chains, and also interrupted the white-faced scholar's next plan.
"That's it, give me some face."
"What's your business?"
"There's no point in talking any more. Do you dare to come?"
"Pretentious, I won't go!"
"never mind."
With a helpless look on his face as he dropped the chain in his hand, the pale-faced scholar looked at Xiang Jiannan in silence for a long while.
They both heard the bickering clearly and were speechless for a moment.
A small, smelly ditch could cause such a commotion. I'm so glad that I, Xiang Jiannan, am still alive.
Under the gaze of the pale-faced scholar, Xiang Jiannan silently picked up the wooden basin and stool. He opened his mouth several times but didn't know what he wanted to ask. In the end, he could only tighten his body and choose to slip away and return to Ping'an Temple first.
It’s not that I don’t want to ask, but I know there won’t be an answer even if I ask. From now on, I’d better avoid this stinking ditch if I can. It’s scary.
Fishing? I was totally out of my mind.
"I'm back..."
Walking into Ping An Temple in a state of embarrassment, Xiang Jiannan saw his master sitting upright on a cushion, facing the clay statue of his master, with wisps of light smoke surrounding him. He did not answer at first, but waited until he put the things away before leaning next to Gao Yu'an. After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked softly: "Master, do you have anything to say to your disciple?"
"Yes, go to Mr. Li's house tomorrow morning. I feel my heart is beating very fast."
"That's not it…"
"Those talisman papers were used by me to fry fish. At that time, you were still young and could get rid of them with just a few fish bones. Now... Ugh! My throat suddenly feels uncomfortable..."
