Chapter 5 Yan Sanniang
The down-and-out Taoist smiled and looked at him, saying, "You are so smart, can't you guess?"
Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to accept me as your disciple? No... Before today, maybe you just want to accept me as your disciple, but today I find out that I can tell fortunes, I am afraid that it will be more than just accepting disciples."
"Surely smart."
The smile on the corner of the down-and-out Taoist's mouth was deeper, "Yes, before today, I only saw that your natural aura cannot be hidden, and you must be gifted. You should have some kind of innate magical power, but you don't know what kind of magical power it is. Until today, you have calculated so accurately that I realized that your natural magical power is really fortune telling."
He looked at Lin Lan and said, "But, since you have such talented magical powers, why did you still cheat in the past? When did your talented magical powers awaken?"
Lin Lan suddenly understood in his heart and said slowly: "It's not long."
Now it seems that the so-called natural aura, with extraordinary talents, and the so-called innate supernatural powers probably refer to his ability to "foresee the end".
Although he had not awakened in the past, his natural aura was hard to hide, so he was discovered by this demon master.
"Put this treasure on." The down-and-out Taoist suddenly waved his sleeves, and an emerald ring floated in front of Lin Lan. "This treasure is best at concealing the breath and has some protective ability, so it is regarded as a gift for the teacher."
Lin Lan glanced at the ring and said, "I did not agree to worship you as my teacher."
The down-and-out Taoist said casually: "Appoint a disciple, or die, you can choose whatever you want."
Lin Lan's face remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "Even if I don't become a disciple, you won't kill me."
"Are you sure that?" The down-and-out Taoist squinted his eyes and stared at him, "You are too confident in your calculation ability."
Lin Lan glanced at the body of the county yamen and said lightly: "If you want to take me away, just one sentence is enough. Why should you silence me? If it is just to cover up your whereabouts, you don't care about these two months, so how can you silence me now?"
He paused, "I guess there are other more important things that make you feel that there is no possibility of leaking the secrets, and you can't let the news that I can tell fortunes."
The Taoist was silent for a while before he said, "It is difficult for people who are too smart to live long."
"Life and death are fate."
Lin Lan said calmly: "But, you are a person who is obviously not weak in practicing. What should you do if you need the help of me, a mortal, to help me?"
"You have innate supernatural powers, which is a unique thing that countless practitioners dream of."
The Taoist shook his head and said, "Even if I think I have some cultivation, I can't calculate the future. You can naturally help me, but I can't tell you what it is now."
Lin Lan frowned and said nothing.
"Please accept this ring and just treat it as the benefit of your help." The down-and-out Taoist said lightly.
Lin Lan didn't say anything, and reached out to take the jade ring and put it on his fingers, with a hint of coldness in the warmth.
Seeing that he accepted it, the down-and-out Taoist said, "I know you don't like me who kills innocent people indiscriminately. It is normal that you don't want to take me as your teacher."
He looked at Lin Lan with a smile, "But you should understand that after this matter is settled and you are useless to me, I may still kill you to silence you. But if you take me as your master and tie it to a boat, you and my master and disciple, and you will be of great use to me, I will naturally not kill you."
Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Then let's talk about it when the matter is settled."
"Okay, I'll give you some time."
The Taoist robe waved his sleeves indifferently, and a faint gray cloud gushed out from his sleeves, quickly gathering together to form a cloud of misty light gray clouds, covering both Lin Lan and him.
Lin Lan only felt an invisible flexible force lifting his body up, as if he was not subjected to gravity, and his whole body floated lightly in the clouds.
He looked at the clouds around him. Is this the technique of driving the clouds?
The corner of the Taoist's mouth curled up slightly and said, "If you worship me as your teacher, I will teach you this shadowless flying technique, how about it?"
Lin Lan was silent for a little while and said, "It sounds good."
"Haha, there are more benefits, you will know in the future."
The Taoist laughed loudly, and the seemingly ethereal gray clouds wrapped around the two of them and soared into the air. At the same time, the clouds continued to fade until they were almost completely transparent. Even the figures in the clouds disappeared and flew to the sky immediately.
...
I don't know how long it took.
Perhaps because he was floating in the clouds and was always in a state of weightlessness, he could not feel the strong wind outside the clouds. The experience of flying clouds and fog was quite good. Lin Lan didn't sleep much until today last night, and was sleepy and tired. He just took a few mouthfuls of food. When he was hungry, he fell asleep in the clouds.
When he felt a stream of ice flowing through his scalp, he woke up again and found that the clouds had fallen into a garden.
When I stepped on the ground, the clouds also disappeared without a trace.
The surroundings can be seen with lush flowers and plants, almost all of which are marigolds, yellow flowers and locust trees, and a huge ginkgo tree grows beside the wall. In this late autumn, it has been golden and the ground is covered with golden ginkgo leaves.
Through the garden door not far away, you can see the staggered pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water, which are like the mansions of powerful people.
The Taoist in Desolate smiled and said, "Seeing that you are sleeping quite hard, I used some tricks to wake you up."
"Where is this?" Lin Lan asked.
"This is the county magistrate's residence of your Guannan County County City, and it is the residence of one of my disciples." The Taoist said, "You can stay here for the time being. After I am ready, I will come to you."
"Guan Nan County Magistrate?"
Lin Lan heard this, but his heart moved and said softly: "After my case was reported to the governor of Mingzhou Prefecture, the local Guannan County Magistrate should have been personally supervised, but the county Magistrate did not come at all, and just sent a mission. It seems that the governor of Guannan County is not your demonic path, but your chess piece."
The down-and-out Taoist smiled and said, "My disciple is a little greedy for wealth and honor, so I just stay in this county magistrate's house."
Lin Lan didn't say anything, but the "borrowing" mentioned by people in the devil's way is probably not as simple as borrowing.
"Here you come."
The desolate Taoist turned his head and looked at the door hole surrounded by lush flowers and plants.
After a while, a large group of people walked in from behind the door opening. There were handsome men dressed in colorful clothes, surrounded by a beautiful woman in the head.
The woman was about twenty or thirty years old. She was wearing a long red silk dress with a large sleeve, a red robe embroidered golden cloud shoulder, a yellow gauze shirt, and a red gauze-like silk ribbon tied with a charming appearance and graceful figure. Under the skirt was a pair of white and clean jade feet, running around in the courtyard with golden leaves and yellow flowers. The bright and fiery red dress fluttered like a jumping lotus in fire.
"Master!"
The gorgeous woman walked over quickly, and after calling out in a choked voice, she pushed away the two male pets beside her, and then stepped forward and knelt directly in front of the down-and-out Taoist.
He hugged his legs on the spot, and pressed his smooth and clean face tightly against the hem of the Taoist robe that had not been changed for a long time, leaving his clothes and cheeks covered with mud and dust, but he ignored it and his eyes were red.
"Master, you are here. Sanniang is almost missing you to death." The gorgeous woman looked up at the Taoist in tears and said with a sob: "I received your flying book a few days ago, Sanniang has been looking forward to you to see your disciples. Now you are finally here."
As she said that, tears rolled on her face, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were raining.
The male pets on the side all looked at the scene in amazement, as if they couldn't believe it.
"Miss me?"
The down-and-out Taoist smiled, suddenly raised his legs and broke away from the gorgeous woman, then stepped on the sludge-covered big feet on the gorgeous woman's face, and sneered: "I'm afraid I'll die outside, so you can't get the antidote to the Yin Yue Talisman?"
The gorgeous woman did not dislike her at all. Instead, she took the initiative to press her face against the soles of her feet, holding the smelly foot as if she was treating a treasure, and said in tears: "Master, I naturally miss you a little more."
"It seems that he is really my good disciple."
The Taoist fell down and put down his feet. He reached into his arms and rubbed them. He took out a black pill and threw it on the ground in front of the gorgeous woman. He smiled slightly sarcastically and said, "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. I will save it for you, and it is still very warm."
The gorgeous woman seemed to see a life-saving straw, hurriedly picked up the pills on the ground, looked at the layer of black dirt on it, hesitated for a moment, threw it into her mouth, raised her head and swallowed it.
Does the people in the Demonic Dao have such a heavy taste? Lin Lan looked at it and felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
The male pets were even more stunned on the spot, as if they had been hit and their values collapsed.
After the gorgeous woman took the pill, she stood up, wiped her tears, and smiled and said, "Master, you are willing to condescend to see Sanniang. My disciple must treat you well and be filial. Sanniang has asked her servants to prepare lunch, and she also asked the master to move to the main hall."
She looked at Lin Lan next to her again and asked, "By the way, Master, I wonder if this young man is?"
"This is Lin Lan and Lin Anran. Maybe it's your senior brother in the future." The down-and-out Taoist said lightly: "You're so happy to entertain. If you dare to be a little negligent, don't blame your teacher for being ruthless."
"Senior Brother?"
The gorgeous woman was stunned and then looked at Lin Lan with a smile and said softly: "I didn't expect that Master would actually have the intention to accept the true disciples. However, when the senior brother saw that he was a person who was as unconventional as Master and was extraordinary. No wonder he was loved by Master. My name was Yan Sanniang. Brother, you just call me Sanniang."
Nothing to care about the details?
Lin Lan suddenly realized that he had not taken a bath for two months, so he was as unkempt and dirty as this down-and-out Taoist priest, and was dressed in rags, and he looked no better than a beggar.
He said lightly: "I haven't promised to be his apprentice yet, and I don't like this dirty and smelly look. Can you prepare a bath water for me?"
Yan Sanniang was stunned, as if she didn't expect Lin Lan to dare to speak like this. She couldn't help but move her throat nervously, and looked carefully at the Taoist Taoist with a faint look of panic.
The Taoist in Desolation said coldly: "Look at what I do? Why don't you go and prepare a bath water quickly? Go and prepare two buckets. Since An Ran doesn't like the dirty smell, I'll wash it too."
Yan Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, do you need Sanniang to take a bath?"
"No need, you dislike me, and I dislike you too." The down-and-out Taoist waved his hand and said, "Lin Lan has not practiced yet, so you must not provoke him. I will put away all your methods in my daily life. Do you know?"
"Sanniang understands."
Yan Sanniang nodded obediently and then said softly: "What is Master saying? It's too late for the disciple to get close to the master. If you can serve you, it would be your disciple's honor. How could you dislike it?"
