Taoist!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan and the guard's expressions changed slightly and they looked at Lin Tianqi.
However, the eyes of the two people are different. The guard has a kind of suspicion and vigilance. Unlike Xiao Lan, who has returned from studying abroad, the guard still has a kind of awe for some ghosts and monsters, so for Taoist priests and monks, etc.
Professionally, he also has a kind of cautiousness from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Lan looked stunned at first, and then showed a bit of disappointment in his eyes. Looking at Lin Tianqi, he seemed to feel that he hated iron but could not make steel.
"Miss Xiao doesn't seem to believe in my profession." Lin Tianqi saw Xiao Lan's eyes and said with a faint smile.
It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't believe it very much. Xiao Lan looked at Lin Tianqi. She originally thought that Lin Tianqi was not bad, but after hearing that Lin Tianqi was a Taoist priest, her feelings for Lin Tianqi dropped a lot. In her opinion, Taoist priest = god.
Stick = liar! Where are the ghosts and gods in this world!
"Mr. Lin is young and has hands and feet, so why does he need to do this..."
Xiao Lan opened his mouth and looked at Lin Tianqi. Although his words were subtle, the meaning was very obvious. If you have the skills and the skills, why do you have to do this kind of deception?
"It seems that Miss Xiao has a deep prejudice against my profession." Lin Tianqi smiled and heard what Xiao Lan meant, but didn't pay too much attention.
Seeing Lin Tianqi's appearance, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel even more disappointed with Lin Tianqi. He immediately had no intention of talking to Lin Tianqi any more, so he stood up and said.
"Deceiving gods and ghosts is not the right path after all. Mr. Lin is young. I hope he can wake up in time and return to the right path. By then, we may be able to truly be friends."
After saying that, Xiao Lan walked towards the corridor entrance. Just as he was about to go downstairs, Lin Tianqi's voice sounded from behind.
"Miss Xiao, wait a moment?"
Xiao Lan stopped when he heard the sound and turned to look at Lin Tianqi behind him.
"Is there anything else you can do, Mr. Lin?"
His expression was as usual, and his attitude was obviously much colder than before, but Lin Tianqi didn't care too much and smiled lightly.
"It's nothing. I just want to remind Miss Xiao that just because you haven't seen many things in the world doesn't mean that they don't exist. It's better to be in awe of things like ghosts and gods."
Xiao Lan did not speak, but gave Lin Tianqi an extremely disappointed look, and then led the guard down the stairs.
Looking at Xiao Lan's back, Lin Tianqi didn't care. He knew that not everyone in the world believed in ghosts, especially during the turbulent era of the Republic of China, those who had just accepted the impact of Western ideas.
Qing, many people are like this.
I thought I had received the baptism of new ideas, and I suddenly saw the nature of the world clearly. I felt that everyone in the world was drunk and I was alone, and my sense of justice was overwhelming.
Speaking of which, Xiao Lan is just a microcosm of the times, and he is pretty good. Although there is a bad side, there is also a good side.
But there is a group of people who have studied abroad who are the most annoying. They think that they have accepted the new Western ideas. They pretend to be grandsons abroad, but when they return home, they are naturally superior to their compatriots and think that they are grandfathers.
, I feel that all the cultural ideas passed down by my ancestors are decadent and backward, and only those Western ideas are scientific and correct, so I just kill all the things passed down by my ancestors with one stroke.
This group of people is the most disgusting and disgusting.
So, relatively speaking, Lin Tianqi thinks Xiao Lan is pretty good, not great, but not bad either, so he just reminded the other person, of course, it was just casual. As for whether Xiao Lan believes it or not, that is her own decision.
It's over.
After sitting for a while, eating sweet cakes and paying the bill, Lin Tianqi also left the teahouse and walked out of the city. He was going to see Empress Ping'an whom the waiter mentioned earlier.
Wang Yang's situation was indeed a bit strange. The thing he chased last night was definitely a ghost, but he couldn't feel the ghost's unique sinister aura.
Moreover, the appearance of the Taoist priest before was also very sudden. Although the Taoist priest was suspected of being pretentious, which made him a little unhappy, but the other party said such words, he couldn't help but be cautious.
"Let's check first to see if we can find out the specific cause of Wang Yang's accident. I hope Xiao Lan can find some useful information. To be on the safe side, I will send a message to the master later. Calculate the time. Master and
Uncle Master should be back soon."
Lin Tianqi thought to himself that he was not a person who wanted money rather than his life. If Wang Yang's matter was really beyond his ability to solve, he would never touch it.
Of course, Lin Tianqi would never be so frightened that the Taoist priest just said something, and the Taoist priest's appearance always made him feel a little abrupt. Would a person appear for no reason and be so kind as to remind him? He didn't like to be
You have the worst intentions to speculate on others, but you also know how to keep an eye on everything.
So he decided to investigate first to see if he could find out the cause. He just cooperated with Xiao Lan and used Xiao Lan's power to see if he could find out anything. As for Xiao Lan's conditions he agreed to, Lin Tianqi would naturally fulfill them.
, of course, will be informed selectively.
He will tell Xiao Lan some about Wang Yang's situation, but only about Wang Yang's situation, some insignificant things. As for other things about the Wang family, he will never say more, such as Li Ying and Sun Bo.
, an eldest lady of the Wang family, and a housekeeper of the Wang family, actually have an affair.
Lin Tianqi still knows what should and should not be said in two lives. He can see that Xiao Lan probably wants to find out the Wang family's background and deal with the Wang family, but he is not prepared to get involved in this matter. One is worried about getting angry, and the other is,
He is not a nosy person.
And no matter what, he is also someone invited by the Wang family. If he exposes the Wang family's secrets to outsiders, wouldn't he become a young man?
It’s better not to do things like Er Wu Zai.
The most important thing is that there is no enmity between the other person and myself.
.............................
Outside Ningcheng, by the river, there is the Ping'an Temple. The temple is not big, square, about a hundred square meters. Outside the temple is a hundred-step staircase made of bluestones, with rows of pine trees on both sides. Inside the temple is a statue of
A gilded female statue more than ten feet tall, wearing a crown.
In front of the statue is a three-legged bronze cauldron, which is as tall as half a person and filled with burning incense.
This is the deity that Ningcheng worships - Empress Ping'an.
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, there was a woman in Ningcheng who was beautiful, kind and had the ability to predict. Once there was a flood in Ningcheng, the woman had a premonition of the coming disaster three days in advance and informed the people in the city. Some people believed her and followed the woman with food and livestock.
They hid in caves in nearby mountains, while some people stayed in the city without paying attention.
Sure enough, the day after the woman hid in the mountains with those who believed in her, there was a heavy rain in Ningcheng. By late at night on the third day, the upstream river burst its banks and a huge flood erupted, directly covering the entire Ningcheng city.
The people in Ningcheng who did not believe in the woman also died in the flood. Only those who believed in the woman and hid in the mountains survived.
Shortly after the flood, the woman died early due to leaking secrets. The people of Ningcheng were grateful for her kindness. In order to commemorate her, they built a temple for her, made a golden body, worshiped her as a god, and called her the Queen of Peace.
