Chapter 76 Fireworks
076 Fireworks
Li Jin almost became what Gao Yuan called a "relative". The master and apprentice started with the surname in front of him, and soon brought up the nepotism that has always existed in the bureaucratic system of the Zhou Dynasty. He lost his parents when he was young and tried his best to prove that there was no way Li Si could be related to him.
Li Jin couldn't reach her.
After confirming the departure time with the old Taoist priest, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Li Jin was a little dazed when he walked out of the temple. Thinking of the man who was so powerful in the Demon-Suppressing Division, a trace of throbbing flashed through his heart. This unrealistic idea only lasted for a moment and was replaced by some bad memories in the blink of an eye.
Even I cannot escape human nature.
"What nonsense were you talking about?"
Only after Li Jin walked away did Xiang Jiannan look at the old Taoist priest. He felt that their conversation just now was extremely inappropriate, and even somewhat insulting to Li Jin. He did not think too much about it at the time, and after he reacted, he did not say anything more.
The more he talked, the worse it got. Why did they start discussing those things? He was having a good time talking, but it seemed like he had also hurt Li Jin's feelings.
Even though he didn't show it very obviously.
"I don't mean that, Master. Don't slander me out of thin air."
Hearing Xiang Jiannan push all the responsibility onto himself, Gao Yuan certainly would not accept it. He used the method of escape and immediately entered the Taoist temple.
He thought what his disciple said was right, but he definitely didn't mean that.
The speaker had no intention. There are some things in this world that the most fearful thing is that the people who hear them will think too much. His previous conversation with his disciple really did not pay enough attention to Li Jin's feelings.
When I was suddenly interrupted, I realized something was wrong. I was so engrossed in the conversation that I forgot everything else.
Three days later, the first county.
According to the original agreement, Xiang Jiannan and his master rushed with Li Jin for two days and finally arrived at the permanent office of the Demon Subduing Division closest to Ping'an Town. The location was also a county town and looked quite compact.
"Is this the office location of the Demon Subduing Division in the mansion?"
After getting off the carriage and looking at the slightly deserted street, Xiang Jiannan asked Li Jin while standing at the gate.
He thought that the office of the Demon Subduing Bureau was very high-end, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he could only describe it as down-to-earth. It was not even as grand as Mr. Li's mansion. At the gate, there must be at least one or two stone lions.
It's too ordinary, and doesn't look like an official organization. It's located in such a remote street. The Demon-Suppressing Bureau is really aloof from the world.
It doesn't match his reputation.
"Yes, please follow me, Taoist priests."
Li Jin felt relaxed and comfortable as if he was back home. He also understood the meaning of Xiang Jiannan's words. As an important and well-known institution in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Demon-Suppressing Division has always been low-key. Although the appearance of this office location looks ordinary and even a bit shabby, no one dares to pass by the door casually.
Reputation is something that sometimes does not diminish because of superficial things. Must one make it grand and imposing to reflect one's status? This statement was opposed by a certain senior official in the department.
It's all false, there's no need to make it so clear.
Even though there is not even a guard at the gate of this place, everyone in the city, young and old, would dare to say they don't know if asked. It has been established for so many years and there is not even a plaque.
"It's good to be here, Li Jin, you'd better get us something to eat."
They stopped and walked all the way without running out of food. Gao Yuan, the last person to get off the carriage, followed behind the two of them and was still shouting that he was hungry.
It has been a while since I last had any food. I think the Demon-Suppressing Division will at least provide me with meals.
As soon as I moved my legs, I felt I couldn't walk anymore. I wasn't that weak when I entered the city.
"Don't worry, old Taoist priest. We have never run out of food here. We have it at any time."
Li Jin walked straight inside with the two of them, and a smile appeared on his face when he spoke. People like them have been drifting outside for a long time, and every time they come back, they feel only warmth in their hearts. As for those who can't come back, there are different ways of dealing with them depending on the news.
Things can be big or small.
It seemed like there were not many people around and the further in he walked, the quieter it felt. It was not until he saw a figure appear in front of him that Xiang Jiannan slowly slowed down his pace. He thought they had arrived at the reception place. After walking for a while, he found that this place was quite lively.
In the middle of the yard in front, a man with his upper body naked was playing with a silver spear. His body kept moving on the ground, and the spear in his hand was dancing in a variety of ways. Every move was dazzling, and even I, an amateur, couldn't help but want to exclaim "good job".
This naked man is not just a show-off, he has real skills.
After witnessing it with his own eyes, he immediately had the most real feeling. Looking at the silver spear that continued to be wielded without being affected by them, Xiang Jiannan felt oppressed.
This person should be Li Si, the one from the Left and Right Demon Subduing Division mentioned by Li Koukou, whose pistol skills are ever-changing.
I didn’t take this kind of thing seriously before, thinking that no matter how great it was, it couldn’t be that great. Today, I had the honor of seeing it, and realized how superficial I was.
Some of the shots on TV may be real. This naked man and the silver gun in his hand are definitely not a joke.
“Great marksmanship!”
His feelings were almost the same as Xiang Jiannan's. He was not as reserved as him. After appreciating the naked Chinese character's moves, Gao Yuan started to applaud. Although the man was still not disturbed, it did not affect the old Taoist's mood to continue praising: "Whether it is stabbing, piercing, beating, attacking or blocking, jumping, tapping, and flicking, the moves are almost perfect. I haven't seen such beautiful spear skills in a long time!"

"You are overpraising me, old Taoist priest."
Li Jin accepted Gao Yu'an's praise with surprise in his eyes. While talking, he continued to lead the two of them inside, his mouth grinning as if he was the one brandishing the gun in the yard.
"Just keep going forward and we'll be there soon."
Not here?
Being called by Li Jin, Xiang Jiannan really didn't want to leave. He looked around repeatedly when he raised his leg. He didn't know if it was because he moved too quickly, but it seemed like a white rainbow was circling around the naked man, flying around. He really wanted to stay here and not move.
This kind of visual feast is not something you can come across casually. Isn't this person Li Si? .What a pity.
"Please wait for a moment, Taoist priests. I will go and inform Lord Li."
Li Jin led Xiang Jiannan and Gao Yuan to the next courtyard and settled them in a room facing the courtyard gate. He then said he would go and notify everyone. Before leaving, he did not forget to pour tea for the two Taoist priests.
Let's make a decision after Lord Li comes. If we fill our stomachs first, we will feel sleepy later. Now that we are here, we should stick to what we agreed upon before. I'll have to inconvenience the two Taoist priests for now.
"Go ahead."
After taking a sip of tea, Gao Yuan suddenly asked Xiang Jiannan shortly after Li Jin disappeared from his sight: "Disciple, what do you say?"
Although the words were not very direct, Xiang Jiannan, whose interest was interrupted, understood it instantly. The two of them immediately stood up from their chairs and tacitly returned to the place where the naked man was dancing with the spear.
He hasn't stopped yet, and his figure is moving gracefully as if he knows no fatigue.
"There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Demon Subduing Division."
Without seeing Li Jin, Xiang Jiannan concluded that the naked man was not Li Si. Seeing that the speed of his silver spear shooting did not slow down at all, he felt a little envious. He said this to himself, and his tone was full of envy.
It’s good to take a look at more.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tremor in front of his eyes, and saw the naked man shook his hand, and the white tassel on the silver spear exploded instantly, stabbing and retracting, shaking so much that his hair stood up. His body tensed up and he saw the white rainbow from before. As the naked man leaned on the ground with the spear, it all exploded in an instant with a thud.
It was all white, like snowing.
It also comes with special effects!
He stepped back in astonishment, looking at the man who put away his gun with his body red, Xiang Jiannan was full of admiration, it was so terrifying! If he wanted to master such a gun technique, he might not be able to do it in his lifetime.
It's too strong, in one word: absolutely!
