Chapter 43: Looking Straight
043 Look straight
It's like reading a comic book.
When the last face disappeared from his sight, Xiang Jiannan's brows couldn't help but move.
It was the master, his eyes calmly immersed in the water, as if he was face to face with himself, extremely deep.
This kind of expression had never been seen on the master before. Seeing it in front of him in this way, Xiang Jiannan was so surprised that he could not help but feel unwilling to believe it.
The serious master actually looks quite handsome. Where did this picture come from? Judging from the color of his beard, it must be from many years ago.
Does Gossip also have the function of recording portraits? Take secret photos and then release them when needed?
These faces truly contain all the emotions in a person's life.
Joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and shock finally ended with the master, who seemed to have gained enlightenment.
Have I become stronger again?
It then turned into a ray of green light and shot into his brows. After the Bagua disappeared, Xiang Jiannan's first thing was to observe whether there were any changes in himself.
I always felt that the master's voice, appearance and smile had remained in my heart, and for a moment I could not accept it. The gossip this time brought about things that were too weird, and the words of surprise or joy made my head buzz.
I looked around at the faces, and then no more.
It seemed that nothing had changed. Standing by the door and trying to discover as much as possible, Xiang Jiannan had done everything he could think of, from sensing the energy of heaven and earth to stretching his arms and legs. After a series of operations, he felt that it was still the same as usual. He was very sure that the word "精" had been lit up, but the result was a bit disappointing at the moment.
Each area that is lit up should bring changes. This time, the gossip did not seem to bring any actual benefits to me. No matter how good the plug-in is, is there a useless part? Judging from the results, Xiang Jiannan thinks he is a bit at a disadvantage. It is not easy to appear once, why is there no obvious improvement? Compared with the previous times, it obviously made such a big fuss. It is better to return the scriptures first.
Xiang Jiannan opened the door with disappointment and continued what he was doing before. No matter what, he still had to return the scriptures in his hands. After checking himself, he found that these scriptures with strange names were indeed scriptures. If he had a chance in the future, he would ask the master why.
I thought that the old Taoist would definitely not admit that he was playing tricks, and I would not believe that the names of these scriptures were really like this.
"Little Taoist Priest"
As luck would have it, as soon as Xiang Jiannan emerged from the room, he saw his master and Mr. Li and his party walking towards him with happy faces. He thought they were going to his master's room, and it was too late to go back.
I couldn't just close the door as soon as we met. I wasn't a young lady waiting to be married, so it was inappropriate. So I had to cover the sutra with my sleeves and said to Mr. Li: "Master, Mr. Li."
"It just so happens that you can follow me in for a while."
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Seeing Xiang Jiannan's appearance at the right time, Gao Yuan immediately gave instructions that there were some things he wanted to pass on to his disciple in the past few days. Now, the time was just right, and in front of Mr. Li, he would let him see the profoundness of Taoism.
"good."
Involuntarily clenching the scripture in his hand, Xiang Jiannan followed his master and others into his house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the contempt on the faces of those warriors became even greater. As for Li Yuanwai, there was still no other reaction. As usual, he praised him every few steps, and Gao Yuan looked very pleased with the praise.
"The old Taoist's bedroom is so elegantly decorated. It feels different the moment you enter. Could these things be hiding some secret?"
You are too good at flattering me. I just feel that Mr. Li is just lying with his eyes open. Xiang Jiannan felt embarrassed by his compliments.
I never realized that Mr. Li had this skill before. I don’t think it was the evil spirit that did this again.
There is nothing mysterious about the things on the ground. It's just that I was too lazy to clean them up. What a shame. This forced a wealthy man to do things against his will.
"Mr. Li, you are too serious!"
Leading everyone straight to the bookshelf, Gao Yuan's action made Xiang Jiannan's heart tighten. This old Taoist was heading towards the column he had touched before. He was afraid he would do something too coincidental.
He suddenly appeared in the backyard without any sound just now, and now he has such a tacit understanding with me?
It is true that Mr. Li is from a wealthy family. Although the master knew that all his words were lies, he was still very happy to hear them. He smiled while holding the scriptures and said in a mysterious tone:
"I have something good here that I want to pass on to my disciple. Mr. Li, you are here at the right time today."
"In that case, I, Li Jinshan, must open my eyes. Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your kindness!"
Li Jinshan didn't expect to encounter this again. He smiled even more brightly. Jinshan is his name, which implies the ambition of Li family. There are many wealthy families with the surname Li in Pingshun Town, but only the name of Li Yuanwai is the most domineering.
Among the Li family of the same level, he is a well-known figure.
"They are all good stuff, let me look for them."
He turned around and flipped through the bookshelf faster and faster, Gao Yuan's expression becoming increasingly confused. Seeing that this row of scriptures was about to reach the bottom, he still couldn't find what he wanted.
"It was still there yesterday, how come it's gone all of a sudden?"
It was indeed the old Taoist's idea! From the moment the master started, he guessed that he was looking for those scriptures. Xiang Jiannan stood aside and was very calm. The scriptures that the master was looking for were in his hands. Could it be that he was overthinking? They were originally meant to be given to him, but he just didn't have time. If he was just pretending, there was no reason to say it. There was nothing wrong with the contents of these scriptures, but the names were a bit strange. Judging from the master's tone, it didn't seem like he was pretending after discovering them.

Trying to whitewash his mischief in front of Mr. Li?
"Are you looking for these scriptures?"
After a moment's silence, Xiang Jiannan admitted it directly, raising his hand and saying to his master.
I really don't want to take it out, for fear that Mr. Li and others will misunderstand me. But if I don't take it out, it will be difficult to deal with if the master gets serious. Let's wait and see how he explains it. Anyway, it's both the master and the apprentice who will be embarrassed.
"Let me see? It really is these books!"
Gao Yuan took the scriptures from Xiang Jiannan and only glanced at the titles. He confirmed it immediately, and did not ask why they appeared in his disciple's hands. Instead, he showed them to Li Yuanwai first:
"Mr. Li, this is what the old Taoist said was a good thing!"
"It's really good stuff. The old Taoist priest is really knowledgeable."
He could vaguely see the title of the book when Xiang Jiannan just took it out. After the scripture was completely placed in front of him, Li Yuanwai suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
I didn't expect the old Taoist priest to be so open-minded. He had no reservations about reading this kind of book in front of them and even took the initiative to share it with me. He really treated me, Li Jinshan, as his own. I wanted to deal with it perfunctorily, but I saw the old Taoist priest was about to open one of the books while he was talking. Taoist priest, this is not appropriate. We ordinary people have not reached your level - to be open-minded about everything.
"What is this?"
Although he resisted on the surface, he was actually expecting something in his heart. After Gao Yuan opened the book "Thirty-Six Postures of Beautiful Women", Li Jinshan was dumbfounded by the contents inside.
I'm too embarrassed to even look at it. I never thought it would be such a weird thing. What's the point of writing so many things about the picture? It's such a waste of my emotions.
“Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty. Everyone knows that goodness is goodness.”
I accidentally read it out loud.
"Nothing gives birth to everything, difficulty and ease complement each other" suddenly followed Li Yuanwai's words aloud. Xiang Jiannan couldn't help himself for a moment and recited the first chapter incessantly. His eyes became brighter and brighter. Under his gaze, several warriors around Li Yuanwai were stunned at first, and then they all looked away, as if they dared not to look at Xiang Jiannan again.
This young Taoist priest seemed to be able to see through his heart. When he looked into his eyes, he felt inexplicably panicked. As a warrior, such things were rarely encountered. The main reason was that this young Taoist priest did not look that strong.
