Chapter 210
This Taoist priest of Ping’an Temple has some… skills.
The sea water receded, looking towards the east, secretly thinking in his heart, Master Wang quickly exchanged glances with those beside him.
Today, seeing this Gao Yu’an, he is indeed extraordinary. No wonder I have heard his rumors many times. He only used one move to resolve the problem that has been bothering them for many days. It’s just that the price was not small, losing a little Taoist priest under his command.
With such a decisive approach, I believe that even Zhang San of the Fu Mo Si might not be able to do it.
“Today, we are truly indebted to you, Old Taoist Priest.”
“It’s just a pity for that little Taoist priest, alas…”
Although thoughts kept running through his mind, at this time, Master Wang naturally spoke with a sorrowful tone.
Most demons are ferocious. At this moment, he had already concluded that Xiang Jiannan would be buried in the East Sea. He might have already become food for the Azure Dragon. Swallowing a cultivator with Daoist cultivation is a great benefit for it.
Unlike the deceased Xiang Jiannan, the other Taoist priest who came with them seemed much inferior. From the moment he appeared, he had been showing a terrified expression. His two eyes were bulging as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. Every time he saw him, he would remind himself of three words:
Lack of experience.
“Your Excellency, why are you sighing? The flood has been eliminated, so we should celebrate. This Taoist priest didn’t actually contribute much.”
Still looking at the east, he could even laugh. Not having the slightest appearance of sadness, Gao Yu’an’s performance did not surprise Master Wang and the others. Cultivators are mostly detached. The Old Taoist Priest’s actions are not uncommon in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
While sighing, he turned around, intending to go back, but suddenly heard a burst of cursing from afar. As the weak voice entered his ears, he looked back and saw the little Taoist priest, whom he had already defined as dead, staggering from the east.
His Taoist bun was disheveled, his clothes were wet and messy, and his whole person looked like he was about to fall apart. Although he looked weak, the words he spoke were very clear.
It really broadened their horizons.
They didn’t expect him to come back alive. A person who has walked through the gates of hell is indeed different. The way he cursed while walking looked particularly pleasing.
Completely enlightened and without any fear.
The Old Taoist Priest wasn’t angry at all. The smile on his face became even more intense, just waiting for the voice rushing towards him to get closer.
“You damned old Taoist priest, the Grandmaster will definitely send down a heavenly tribulation later, and strike you into ashes!”
“Tsk, I, Xiang Jiannan, really believed your nonsense!”
“I have never seen such a ruthless person!”
“. . .”
People of the Taoist faith are just so unrestrained.
After Xiang Jiannan got closer, his brow would occasionally furrow. Because his words were truly unbearable, Master Wang and the others could only listen quietly from the side.
Such a thing of a disciple cursing his master is not common in the Great Zhou Dynasty. No wonder the Taoist faith is now in decline.
They are even inferior to the Buddhist Sect. A teacher has no dignity at all. Don’t they know that once a teacher, always a father? They scholars would never do such a thing.
Thinking of this, even as outsiders, Master Wang and the others felt a certain emotion rise in their hearts.
“As your teacher, I said I would protect you. In front of so many people, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at, my disciple?”
Only after Xiang Jiannan had finished cursing, without even blinking an eye, Gao Yu’an reiterated:
“This time, it is for the sake of the people along the coast. My disciple, you are a cultivator, your heart should be filled with the common people.”
The words were spoken while Xiang Jiannan was resting. When they entered the little Taoist priest’s ears, they became another meaning: this old Taoist priest is now shirking responsibility.
He just threw away such a big living person. If Xiang Jiannan’s life was not meant to be, he would probably have already become a sunken corpse at the bottom of the sea.
Mainly, that Azure Dragon was kind. After entering the sea, it just took him for a swim and soon returned to the shore. It didn’t have any intention to kill Xiang Jiannan.
He really didn’t expect to be able to hold his breath in the water for so long. Today’s experience has far exceeded his expectations.
He, Xiang Jiannan, never realized that he had become so powerful. Next time he has the time, he must test his limits. When he was wandering in the East Sea, he even felt that he could stay there for a whole day.
“You…”
“Don’t say anymore. It’s cold. Let’s go back to the camp and dry your clothes first.”
He opened his mouth, wanting to scold again. At this time, his vocabulary was actually lacking. As soon as Xiang Jiannan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the Old Taoist Priest. He just took the opportunity to step down and glared with his eyes. Following the crowd, he turned and walked towards the camp.
During this period, only Wang Yixing took action, taking off his own Taoist robe and hurriedly putting it on his Senior Martial Brother.
He couldn’t speak now either. Earlier, like Master Wang, he had also expected that Xiang Jiannan would not return.
Miracles depend on when they are used. Between the Azure Dragon and his Senior Martial Brother, he believed the former more. Just looking at them, they were not of the same level.
If it was Master, it would be about the same.
“You Taoist priests, rest first. I, Li, still have some things to deal with. I’ll be right back.”
Returning to the camp tent, he immediately ordered people to light the charcoal. After giving a few simple instructions, Li Jin soon turned and walked out.
When he returned, Tang Ning and Li Jin were confronting Master Wang and his men. They probably believed what Tang Ning had said earlier about catching people to fill the sea. The eyes of both sides were very unfriendly. It was not until they returned that they separated.
Although the previous seawater was not far from the main camp, it did not make the two groups put down their hostility.
It almost caused a major incident.
“Did that Azure Dragon leave any words for you?”
After Li Si left, he continued to dominate the soft couch. When he spoke, seeing that Xiang Jiannan had already taken off his clothes, leaving only one piece, Gao Yu’an quickly spoke to stop him.
Although everyone in this main camp is a man, the disciple’s actions are a bit too bold.
Be careful someone suddenly breaks in.
“No, it’s good enough to have gotten my life back.”
Holding his Taoist robe, he casually roasted it by the fire. Naturally, there was still resentment in his heart. Xiang Jiannan answered truthfully while standing by the charcoal fire.
Indeed, there were no words left for him. The Azure Dragon’s last gaze was a bit gentle, but it was hard to say with its scarlet eyes. Xiang Jiannan looked like he was smiling, but perhaps that was not what it meant at all.
In that situation, he must have been thinking of everything in a positive way. The seawater in the East Sea was icy cold. Being alive was a victory.
“In that case, it is a bit strange.”
Seeing that Xiang Jiannan’s tone didn’t sound like he was lying, and watching his disciple’s Taoist robe almost touch the charcoal fire, Gao Yu’an got up and reminded him from the side.
“When you entered the East Sea, as your teacher, I saw something following you down. Did that Azure Dragon not notice it?”
“What thing?”
Originally still angry, after hearing Gao Yu’an say this, Xiang Jiannan and Wang Yixing stopped their actions. Xiang Jiannan first wanted to confirm whether the Old Taoist Priest was bluffing.
At the end, seeing him raise three fingers and wave them a few times, he only left the two of them with an internationally recognized gesture.
The little Taoist priest wanted to curse, but he didn’t know where to start. He could only patiently endure the Old Taoist Priest one more time.
He and the Old Taoist Priest were one family. When it was not necessary, it was better not to speak.
