Chapter 96 I'm Obviously Happy
096 I'm obviously very happy
Xiang Jiannan had been feeling uncomfortable for a few days because of the conversation between his master and An Wensheng. He felt that he seemed to no longer understand his master.
I originally thought that this old Taoist was just a master who was hiding his true strength, but after he met An Wensheng that day, my previous feeling changed.
In addition to being a person who loves to cheat people and is greedy for money, this old Taoist also hides a series of labels such as insidious and cunning. He is setting up a big scheme and has remained silent for so many years. Now he no longer needs to hide it.
This thought tormented Xiang Jiannan so much that he couldn't sleep well for several days. Especially when he saw his master still greeting him with a smile every day, he felt even worse.
I wanted to get to the bottom of it, but I kept thinking of his expression at the stone table that day. In the end, I chose to give up.
"Then Mr. Chen and his family will probably be back soon."
Gao Yuan had been thinking about Chen Jingxuan for the past few days. He was no different from before. He would take time out every day to look at him in front of the Taoist temple and mutter to himself from time to time.
The Autumn Examination should have been over. He hasn't come back for such a long time, I'm afraid there might be some good news waiting for me.
"It should be soon. Maybe someone will come to announce the good news soon."
Xiang Jiannan had some understanding of what happened in high school. He was not as anxious as Gao Yu'an. There was nothing to say to a person with ulterior motives. As long as he felt safe, he could still stay in Ping'an Temple.
I have been quietly comforting myself these past few days. No matter what the master is going to do, as a disciple, I must keep my eyes open. If this old Taoist priest wants to harm me, he can find hundreds of reasons in minutes. It seems that there is no use in being on guard.
I can only endure the torment in anxiety.
"That's true. I've been feeling that something happy is going to happen these days. I'm afraid the Chen family's son has already graduated from high school."
Gao Yuan constantly revealed his thoughts while talking to the pilgrims, in fact he wanted to attract their attention.
He forged something on the clay statue of his master and covered it with a Taoist robe, making it difficult to see. At first he was worried that his master would punish him, but there was no reaction. After a few days, he became bolder.
"What the old Taoist said is absolutely right. If Jingxuan can pass the exam, our Ping'an Town will also benefit from it."
Coming to Ping An Temple early in the morning to show piety, Pei Dafa echoed at the side.
The other pilgrims nodded repeatedly, as if Chen Jingxuan was already standing at the gate.
There hasn't been much happening in the town recently. Apart from waiting for the Chen family to come back, no one is very busy.
"My disciple, please watch carefully."
Surrounded by the crowd, Gao Yuan returned to the incense hall again and began his daily meditation. He could not fall behind in his practice. After Ping'an Temple returned to normal, he had to continue the previous content. These pilgrims were more enthusiastic than him, an old Taoist priest.
"knew."
I always feel that the master is deceiving everyone, Xiang Jiannan answered weakly. He thought of An Wensheng's tragic experience. No one knew where the temple of the City God was now.
An Wensheng's incense offerings completely stopped in the second year after Ping'an Temple was built. In his words, his master took away his job. Compared with invisible evil spirits, people are more willing to communicate with living people. The sense of awe is not always there. Sometimes, it only appears after stepping into specific places.
The master did not agree with his self-righteous statement, because in the old Taoist's opinion, the incense offerings to Ping'an Temple had always been very poor, and there was no such thing as cannibalizing the City God Temple. On the contrary, he should be grateful to himself, because without the help of Ping'an Temple, the so-called City God An Wensheng would have disappeared long ago.
As for coming to Ping'an Temple to cause trouble, he was completely asking for trouble. With his level of cultivation, he couldn't even take a few moves from me.
This is how the two of them officially got to know each other. I don’t know what words the master left behind, but for so many years, An Wensheng’s food and drink were all from Ping An Temple.
As for Song Erle, the master only said that he was a very courageous young man and that he would meet him again in the future.
Ding dang dang~~~ After squatting at the gate for a long time and just wanting to enter the Taoist temple, Xiang Jiannan heard a few gong sounds coming from afar. He waited until the sound got closer and then he could see clearly who the people were. The whole team was covered in red and decorated with ribbons. At the front, several men in red were leading the way.
The movement was slow, and behind it were several carriages moving slowly forward.
Chen Jingxuan really graduated from high school!
It was clear at a glance that the carriages belonged to the Chen family. Xiang Jiannan did not react much when the convoy approached. While he was still in a daze, he had already been squeezed to make room for them. After hearing the sound of the gong, the pilgrims inside and outside the temple had already run out.
The most excited person was Pei Dafa. With a loud shout, he aroused everyone's emotions.
"The third son of the Chen family has passed the high school entrance examination!"
"Congratulations."
"Mr. Chen, please give me the reward quickly."
As the crowd crowded around the carriage, Xiang Jiannan stood outside the crowd and looked for his master, only to see that he glanced at him with joy on his face. That expression showed pride.
Chen Jingxuan is still in high school. Should he take any action next?
The more lively the crowd, the worse it felt. Xiang Jiannan didn't come back to his senses until Old Man Chen walked to the gate of the temple. Influenced by Chen Jingxuan's high school, Old Man Chen looked a dozen years younger at this moment. He walked up to his master and bowed deeply before talking about his sudden departure:
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"Thank you for the blessing of our Grandmaster, my Jingxuan has finally gotten his reward after all the hardship!"
"It's a pity that the young Taoist priest left in a hurry. If he hadn't been waiting for a letter, he would have returned a few days ago. Fortunately, nothing happened."
As he spoke, he couldn't suppress the surprise on his brows, and only mentioned Xiang Jiannan's matter in passing.
"Mr. Chen is being too formal. Jingxuan is very talented and it's only a matter of time before he gets admitted to the university."
Gao Yuan spoke loudly and cheerfully. He was very satisfied with the first sentence that Old Man Chen said. Once this sentence came out, it meant that Chen Jingxuan's high school incident was related to his Ping'an Temple. He wanted to clarify it before, but now it was completely unnecessary. After searching in the crowd, he turned around and asked Old Man Chen again: "Where is Jingxuan? I haven't seen him."
There were so many people, but no one asked where Chen Jingxuan was. They looked everywhere inside and out.
"I was kept here by the county magistrate. I can't come back until tomorrow."
With these words, everyone around him began to praise him again. Old Master Chen twirled his beard and just smiled. He glanced around and saw that the young Taoist priest had a bitter face and looked worried.
Disappeared for a few days, did you encounter any difficulties? My own Jingxuan is now in high school, and we can discuss anything.
"The young Taoist priest doesn't seem very happy?"
He walked closer to Xiang Jiannan and asked in a low voice. Mr. Chen actually didn't hide his words from others:
"We have been searching for a long time in the city these days, and we thought something had happened to the young Taoist priest."
"No."
Seeing that everyone's interest had decreased due to Mr. Chen's words, Xiang Jiannan dared not destroy the current festive atmosphere. His face changed quickly and he made a very happy expression to Mr. Chen.
Only after everyone was satisfied did I feel unhappy again, but I couldn't show it on my face.
He still has reservations about Chen Jingxuan's admission to high school. Whether it is good or bad, he can only wait and see.
