Chapter 99 The Leaky Gourd

099 Leaky Gourd

When they arrived at the Chen family's well, they only heard everyone exclaiming in amazement. Xiang Jiannan looked at the rolling bubbles with worry in his eyes. This was not a miracle from heaven at all. It was only as far as Pei Dafa could imagine.

At best, the groundwater level rises, and the ordinary well suddenly becomes a fountain.

So many wells have become like this. God doesn't have the time to do such a thing.

As he stepped into the increasingly flowing well water, his feet seemed to become colder. Xiang Jiannan looked up at his master. He had been unusually talkative since he came to the well, and would comment on the scene before him from time to time.

He did not make any statement about the so-called abnormal phenomenon from the sky, but just dodged when his Taoist robe was about to touch the well water.

"This well water is really clear."

A group of people were talking at once but nothing constructive was said, as if they were just drunk. As Xiang Jiannan vaguely heard some noise, the cheeks of County Magistrate Lin and others were already flushed. The guests who came to watch the well gradually forgot the topic and were still in high spirits even without holding their wine glasses.

People from all over the world came together, and the scene was lively but then began to get out of control.

Boom~~~ Gradually leaving the original position surrounded by the crowd, Xiang Jiannan just dealt with the nonsense of a drunk man when he felt the ground under his feet suddenly shook a few times. The movement was so loud that many people lost their balance and fell to the ground. When they looked up at the sky, they saw a huge black cloud slowly floating from the east, dividing Ping'an Town into two areas, one bright and one dark, and the color was getting darker.

It's finally here!

Looking at the dark clouds in the distance with obvious intentions, Xiang Jiannan felt a special kind of relief in his heart. He had always thought that the white-faced scholar had already taken action, but judging from the dark clouds that had just appeared, things seemed to have just begun. This shock made the drunk guests sober up a lot, and at least some of them suddenly shut up after seeing the dark clouds.

I have never seen clouds that dark in color. It just makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Why are there dark clouds when everything is fine?"

As he spoke, he looked directly at Gao Yuan. Old Master Chen's heart suddenly became uncertain. He could still accept the matter of the well for the time being, but this dark cloud was completely beyond his cognition. After it stirred up the guests, they seemed to be afraid. An authoritative person must come out to give an explanation at this time. Among all the people present, who else has this ability except the old Taoist priest? "Go out and take a look."

As everyone around him looked at him, Gao Yuan remained calm as always. He signaled Xiang Jiannan from a distance and told everyone not to be suspicious: "I think it's a passing rain cloud. Our Great Zhou Dynasty has always had abundant rain."

Everyone was about to regain their composure when they heard what was said, but they never expected that the dark clouds stagnant in the sky would make new movements.

Not long after Gao Yuan finished speaking, a column of water suddenly shot out from the clouds, hitting the ground from top to bottom, like a dragon sucking water, making the surrounding sky even darker, and all the guests in the courtyard tremble with fear.

There was not a single sound, but it made people shudder just by looking at it.

"Hurry back to Ping An Temple!"

He seemed to be caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the water column. While speaking, he had already moved ahead of everyone else. Gao Yuan's figure was elusive and only left this sound. To Xiang Jiannan, it sounded like these words were directed at him, but he did not expect that others would misunderstand him.

Everyone rushed to follow the master, even those who were unaware joined in.

"This is a very auspicious sign!"

The mighty group followed Gao Yu'an to a place not far from Ping'an Taoist Temple, only to see that the entire Taoist temple was shrouded in dark clouds. After a long silence, Pei Dafa, the mayor, finally uttered a word.

The water column falling from the sky was pouring into the stinking ditch in front of the temple. It was thick at the top and thin at the bottom, without any movement.

This is the first time I have seen such a strange scene. From a distance, golden light keeps coming out of the stinky ditch. After a while, you can even smell a fishy stench.

"fart!"

County Magistrate Lin was already nervous, and when he heard Pei Dafa still complimenting him, he couldn't help but curse.

He was willing to believe Pei Dafa's words, but no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

This matter must be reported. Could it be that all this is related to the master's eye opening that I heard before? On the day Chen Jingxuan stayed in the county, County Magistrate Lin heard him talk about the master of Ping'an Temple opening his eyes. He didn't take it seriously at the time. Now, he couldn't help but admit it. It's not that he didn't have any experience, but he believed that seeing is believing.

You have to know that there were many strange things in the Zhou Dynasty. As a county magistrate, you can't just rely on your ears.

"Master, what should we do?"

Seeing the water column connecting the sky and the earth with no end in sight, Old Man Chen was shocked and his face was full of worry.

Such a thing happened on the day of their wedding. If something unexpected happened, Jingxuan's future would be ruined. A strange phenomenon from the sky? The Chen family couldn't afford it.

"This matter has nothing to do with Jingxuan. Allow me to go and take a look."

He turned around and made a promise to Old Man Chen. Gao Yuan actually said this to everyone. Then he called Xiang Jiannan to leave together. The master and disciple soon arrived at the gate of Ping'an Temple.

After raising his hand to push the door and enter the temple, the old Taoist priest who had been calm all of a sudden panicked.

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

"What should I do? They are acting so violently!"

Master, are you kidding me?

Seeing that his master seemed like a different person after entering the Taoist temple, Xiang Jiannan realized that he had been deceived by him again. The old Taoist's previous performance was so flawless that he thought he knew everything that was going to happen.

This dark cloud must have been created by the white-faced scholar. There are hundreds of pairs of eyes waiting for us outside. Just when I was wondering how this matter could have nothing to do with Chen Jingxuan, the white-faced scholar had already made it very clear.

Take advantage of the auspicious day to do something.

"Don't panic, disciple. Let me think of a solution."

After turning around unconsciously for a few times, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and then walked towards the backyard. When he came back, he was holding a gourd in his hand, with only three words written on his face:

Give it a try.

The young Taoist priest was frightened by the operation and felt rebellious, thinking that his master's method would definitely not work.

The gourd was originally used by the master to store wine. Since he quit drinking, he hasn't seen it in Ping An for many years and thought it had been thrown away.

The gourd is a good gourd, but there are several big holes on the bottom. What are you going to do with it now? Are you going to use it to hold water?

I don’t know what the master is thinking, I can only guess.

"Follow the Master."

After he went out with the gourd in his hand, his expression immediately returned to normal. When Xiang Jiannan closed the door of the temple, he saw Gao Yuan had already got ready. He placed the gourd on the ground in front of him and sat cross-legged. Every time he moved his lips, he would take out a few pieces of talisman paper from his sleeve and scatter them.

There were no words on the talisman paper, except for a yellow spot in the middle, the rest was blank.
