Chapter 7: Cultivating Taoism for the benefit of all people in the world

007 Cultivating Taoism is for the benefit of all people in the world

"I suspect someone is behind this and wants to make Ping'an Town unsafe."

Going straight into the backyard of the Taoist temple with Master Xiang Jiannan and his disciples, the man in black was the first to express his guess.

Ping'an Town has been a bit chaotic lately, otherwise I wouldn't have come here.

The place is not big and it's quite lively. Before the Chen family, the county had already reported it repeatedly.

"Indeed."

Still thinking about their own things at this time, Master Xiang Jiannan and his disciple were a little perfunctory.

They are not as connected as the men in black, so they cannot think deeply about the matter for the time being.

What difference does it make whether it is peaceful or not? Those who suffer are people like them anyway.

Some things did happen in this town in the past few months. Strictly speaking, they were only mental injuries, and the casualties were all people invited back from outside.

People's hearts are more unstable, and as a result, the incense in the Taoist temple has become more prosperous.

"Your amulet is quite powerful."

Seeing that the master and disciple were not very interested in what he said, the man in black could only change the subject.

It may seem inappropriate to say this right away. Not every Taoist priest can have such a high sense of crisis. It requires slow and gradual progress.

It’s just the master’s blessing.

Glancing at his master, Xiang Jiannan discovered that the old man was still thinking, his attention was obviously not focused, and he was muttering something.

The golden light just now must have something to do with him. No matter how hard this old Taoist tries to hide it, he can't fool me.

Like many hermits who keep a low profile, in all Xiang Jiannan's memories, his master was an ordinary person. As far as he could remember, he was a poor Taoist priest who had been guarding a Taoist temple with little worship for more than 20 years and managed to support a young Taoist priest.

He had many ups and downs during this period. In order to survive, he had done many things that were not in line with his status. By the time the young Taoist priest he had raised had the courage to talk back to him, the Taoist priest had already grown old. So he became even more self-indulgent and would bring trouble back to the Taoist temple every now and then.

Xiang Jiannan came after the old Taoist priest got into trouble again, but he did not believe in the memories he had obtained.

To be skeptical about everything was the first thought that came to his mind after he sobered up. The reason for this decision was far-fetched.

Before crossing over to this world, Xiang Jiannan was still a fighter struggling in a first-tier city.

He drank that night to celebrate the fact that the girl he had been dating for several years suddenly got a marriage certificate. It happened so suddenly that he could only run to the store downstairs to buy a few bottles of beer.

The amount is not much, but it is enough for him who drinks it in one bottle.

Climbing to the roof of the rental house alone, Xiang Jiannan found that he could not see the night lights of the city. Thinking back to the little things he had done with the girl in recent years, he didn't feel that sad.

I just gave her some cosmetics and jewelry and we ate and drank together, and didn't make a fuss about it.

Maybe she encountered some unavoidable difficulties, otherwise why would she look so ugly in her wedding photos.

Wait, was her previous male colleague scolding her in the chat group?

Oh my god, it turned out to be the Sea King. Tonight, the fish were all in a frenzy. One, two were in the same group but no one knew about it earlier. After they went their separate ways, everyone was usually very busy.

It was rare for an older single guy in a department to have a heart-to-heart talk. There were bursts of anger and silence.

"I have been in Ping'an Town for decades, and this is the only year I am still somewhat popular."

He seemed to disagree with the black-clothed man's words and spoke after Gao Yu An's muttering.

Even if someone is really doing something fishy, ​​it's useless to tell them, master and disciple. You can't ask them to take off their Taoist robes and start working in the government office, giving up their bright future. This might have been possible decades ago.

I don’t even know what you do.

"Master, are you referring to the group of people burning incense in front of the temple?"

The man in black quickly understood Gao Yuan's meaning and spoke in a calm tone.

This Taoist priest seemed to have misunderstood his own words.

"Are there any clues to what you just said?"

Perhaps he felt that he was too immersed in the spiritual world, Gao Yuan thought about it and made a painful decision:

"I, the old Taoist priest, can't help you, but my disciple can."

If they could do something in front of the elders of Ping'an Town, it would seem to be a hundred benefits to their Taoist temple with no harm at all. Thinking of this, his thoughts instantly became clear.

“Not yet.”

Gao Yuan's smile became increasingly presumptuous, and the man in black frowned instead.

Did I say anything? Why do I have a bad feeling? Why did this old Taoist priest change his mind? "What is the direction of the investigation?"

"No."

"Suspect?"

“No.”

"Very good, I still have a disciple."

You two are just chatting about yourselves! Xiang Jiannan listened to the two talking about the heavenly book with an innocent look on his face. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. It was originally a very serious topic, but how come it sounded like a transaction? If that's the case, I won't participate. I was sold out inexplicably. This is unacceptable. After a hundred years, do you still want someone to see you off to the end?

"The Taoist priest misunderstood."

Unable to withstand Gao Yuan's passionate questioning, the man in black begged for mercy quickly. He said that he had no other intention in those words, he just wanted to say a few words to remind his superiors. Why did this series of questions sound like an inspection by the superiors?

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Which of us spoke first?

"I'm just afraid that someone will come to retaliate, so I wanted to inform you two in advance. If someone is really behind this, it will be our Demon Subduing Division's business."

"Are you from the Demon Subduing Division?"

Finally, when they heard the man in black announce his name, Xiang Jiannan and Gao Yuan both looked serious.

A big shot has come, what honor do they have in Ping'an Town?

"Demon Subduing Division, Li Jin."

Li Jin took off his clothes skillfully, revealing his solid chest with several scars and a tattoo of the word "Zhen".

This is the mark of the Demon-Subduing Division personnel. Once engraved, it can never be erased.

"Why are you taking off your clothes? Put them on quickly. It's not good to be seen by others."

Unable to understand the way Li Jin proved his identity, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help swallowing his saliva after taking a few glances at it.

Mashiro, are there any women in the Demon Subduing Bureau?

"I'm so used to taking it off that I almost forgot I have a badge on my waist."

It was a little awkward to put on his clothes. Li Jin didn't expect that he would feel embarrassed by being stared at by two Taoists.

There is absolutely no need to do this. Taking off clothes to prove one's identity is only necessary in special circumstances. I was just in a hurry.

"How about the three of us go somewhere else?"

After learning about Li Jin's identity as a member of the Demon Subduing Division, Gao Yu'an's emotions soared again. There was a good restaurant in the town, and the owner was also named Li, which was just the right place for Li Jin to find a sense of home.

Most of the people who could enter the Demon-Suppressing Division had miserable life stories, and the old Taoist knew a little about that.

"No need, I have to hurry back to report."

Li Jin had basically said everything he wanted to say. He did not plan to stay in Ping'an Town. He came out this time just to inquire first, as he had other instructions in the company.

Time is urgent.

"In that case, I won't force you to stay."

Reaching out and holding Li Jin's hand, Gao Yuan was reluctant to let him go: "When you come again, don't be polite to me. We Taoists have the people of the world in our hearts."

I don't believe you.

Xiang Jiannan thought that Li Jin should feel the same as he did now, and he felt that his master was too unrestrained.

You can't just look at other people's background and ignore your status and post things to them. Look at me, your apprentice, I haven't said anything until now.

"Thank you so much, Master."

As he pulled his right hand away, Li Jin glanced at Xiang Jiannan before leaving. He wanted to remind him to be careful again, but he stopped himself before the words came to his lips.

He couldn't tell the old Taoist's level of cultivation, but the young Taoist could. Judging from the power of the amulet he used, he should have no problem protecting himself.
