Chapter 14: The Taoist Also Leaves the Country

  Tang Xiaoran wore a blue skirt and black stockings today, with her hair down to her shoulders. She's so alluring that even Jiucheng was dazed.

  "Niu Shan Yun." I'm sharpening my knife, today I plan to slaughter a chicken to treat the Five Organs Temple. Suddenly, I turned around and almost stabbed Tang Xiaoran, scaring the girl half to death.

  "I came today just to say, to say sorry, but it's so troublesome. I saw her and my legs turned soft."

  "It's all right, you're a precious person, this place isn't suitable for you, why don't you just go back?"

  I didn't even dare look at him straight in the eye, "You're staring at me."

  "Ah."

  "I dare not offend you."

  "You splashed water on my face at first, and now you dare to offend me."

  "That was for saving people."

  "She stared at me." She suddenly grabbed my head with both hands. Even Jiucheng, who was standing aside, was frightened and slipped away, seeing that things were not going well.

  "What do you want?" I was a bit suspicious that she was trying to seduce me.

  "I know, in your eyes, I'm not a good person. Every day, I go to dance halls and bars, and hang out with boys. But do you know? Since I was little, my mom left, and my dad remarried. He only gave me money, but never asked what I needed. You know what I need? Love, care. Do you understand? If it weren't for this incident, my dad would still be like before, all about business. But now he's different, he knows how to take care of the family, and take care of me. All of this is thanks to you." As she spoke, Tang Xiaoyan burst into tears.

  "I'm also a reserved person, at most I just drink and have fun with those boys, but I'm absolutely a virtuous woman!"

  My goodness, this word just came out and scared me, is this considered a confession?

  But these words made me happy in my heart, and I couldn't help but laugh.

  "What are you laughing at?"

  "Haha, what's it to you?"

  She pinched my waist, "Ouch ouch ouch."

  "Alas!" She seemed a bit heartbroken, but we two put aside our past grievances and became good friends.

  Under her relentless pursuit, I returned to school. This time, I went back with a clear conscience, and with my head held high.

  Soon, the first semester of freshman year ended, I returned to the Taoist temple, Tang Xiaoyan insisted on following me, I didn't let her, the snowy road was not easy to walk, she asked me to stay and accompany her, but I had to go back and see Jiucheng Xiaoman and them.

  "Well then let them all come together."

  "No way, I have to go back. It's been a long time since I last offered incense to my ancestors. They must be missing me." Tang Xiaoyan pouted, and we bid each other farewell as I headed back.

  And this time going back out, almost became the end point.

  Why is that? Because I went abroad.

  I went back with Jiucheng Xiaoman and they swept the Taoist temple. I lit incense, made a wish, and bought some things. "Master, this temple needs to be renovated." "Yes, at the beginning of the year we will build a new one."

  "Good." Jiucheng also wanted to learn from those grand Taoist temples, so majestic.

  It's only been a few days since I got back, and Tang Xiaoyan's dad actually came secretly. "Uncle, how did you come?" I thought it was Tang Xiaoyan who insisted on coming with his dad, but now it seems not to be the case. There is no sign of Tang Xiaoyan behind him, I guess there might be something going on.

  "Niu Dao Chang, you never fail to visit the San Bao Hall for nothing, can you help me out this time?"

  "What's wrong?" Tang Tianhu looked at Jiucheng and Xiaoman Liu Jin.

  "We're all family here, speak freely."

  "Niu brother, I have a younger brother named Tang Tianbao, who is currently doing some business in Myanmar. There's been some unrest at home lately, and I'd like you to go take a look."

  "My god, Taoist priests go abroad too?"

  "Niu Daochang, don't worry, the procedures will be ready soon. As long as you're willing to go, we can set off tomorrow." Originally didn't want to go, but young people like adventure, hearing that it's in Myanmar, felt a bit excited, after all, going abroad, and on the way back, can also visit some places in Thailand, and return as a "hai gui" (a Chinese term for returned overseas Chinese).

  "Master, let's go."

  "Are you going too?" Jiu Cheng smiled slyly.

  "This trip won't work without someone to help, 90% of it is still okay now, let him go with me."

  "No problem." Tang Tianhu didn't introduce any specific situation, just asked me to go and see for myself. After drinking in my Taoist temple and bidding farewell to Xiaoman Liu, I set off the next day.

  Tang Tianhu's procedures were handled extremely quickly, and it was settled in just three days. After all, he is a person of some standing and reputation, if it were us ordinary people, who knows how long it would take to get things done.

  Tang Tianhu personally saw me and Jiucheng off at the airport. I can speak a little English, but Jiucheng doesn't understand a word.

  Country people have never seen an airplane, let alone sit on one. The first time sitting was really uncomfortable. At the moment when the plane took off, "Master, I can't take it anymore, I feel like all the earwax in my life is coming out."

  "Never mind, me too."

  "Master, I feel sick."

  "You're suffocating me, embarrassing me, I..." Ugh, I'm even more disgusted, directly taking the envelope bag and vomiting inside.

  "Master, you're still blaming me, I'm done for." The two of them held envelopes and vomited wildly. Ninety percent of the time before getting on the plane, they had to eat, and all the way, they ate non-stop, what a state they were in.

  We got off the plane at Yangon Airport, while that guy in northwest China was buried under heavy snow and freezing cold, this place turned out to be sunny and hot enough to kill.

  I and Jiucheng wore that down jacket, but it was too hot to bear. We just put on the down jacket when we got on the plane, and it's not easy to take off on the plane. After getting off the plane, I felt like prickly heat was about to break out.

  "Master, I'm hot." He looked pitiful. I took him to the bathroom and changed his clothes.

  It's my first time abroad, and such a big scene is quite intimidating. After various checks, we finally passed the inspection of the Burmese people, walked out of the airport, and arrived at the hall.

  There were so many people at the entrance who were picking up others, holding signs with names written in various languages.

  "Master, you said that if that guy writes your name in Burmese, we won't be able to recognize it." I thought about it and agreed, but then I heard Tang Tianhu say that his brother Tang Tianbao looked very similar to him, let's take a look.

  A beauty walked over and said, "Excuse me, are you Niu Shanyun, the Cow Herder?"

  "Huh, how did he know?" Jiucheng was very puzzled, because in the 1990s when digital information and multimedia were not well developed, it was unbelievable that a foreigner would suddenly recognize him.

  It turned out that Tang Tianhu had faxed my photo over long ago.

  I said, "Yes, it's me."

  "It was Mr. Tang who asked me to pick you up, please come this way." This beautiful woman said, to be honest, if you don't have any thoughts about her, then you're a beast.

  Yangon I also went this year, but Yangon in the past is not worth mentioning at all, old streets, people wearing outdated clothes, beautiful women have to wear such attire, that would be a waste.

  I and Jiucheng are still a bit dizzy, no mood to appreciate.

  In a teahouse not far from the airport, we met Tang Tianhu's brother, Tang Tianbao. This Tang Tianbao was elegant and refined, wearing glasses with small eyes, spitting elegantly, with an air of a literati.

  "I didn't expect that Master Niu is so young, truly awe-inspiring. As a Taoist, when you say 'awe-inspiring youth', I somehow feel uncomfortable."

  "Are you Tang Tianbao?"

  "It's really like him." This guy indeed looks like Tang Tianhu, that's definitely his likeness.

  "Master Niu, come and try this tea from the Burmese rainforest. It's top-grade tea leaves, it'll help you refresh yourself." This tea is indeed good, its fragrance can be smelled from afar, and the flavor lingers in the mouth for a long time, not bitter at all, what a great tea! Speaking of which, this wine is also good, just that small cup I had earlier was 80 yuan, my god, if our village chief were to drink it with his big jug, it would cost tens of thousands of yuan.

  Forget it, let's not waste time on nonsense, let's talk about something serious.

  After drinking a few sips of tea, I suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated.

  "Master Niu, why don't you take a rest first? We can talk again tonight." It seems that there are many people around, and Tang Tianbao still cannot speak.

  Went to the Yangon International Hotel, slept comfortably for a while, 90% of people have never slept on such a soft bed, praised and said that they must get one for themselves when they return, this northwest kang is too hard.

  Before long, I fell asleep too.

  Suddenly someone knocked on the door, "Who is it? Can't even sleep soundly." I opened the door and found two beautiful women standing there. They were wearing bikinis, with great figures, waists, buttocks, long legs, and their skin was so smooth that nine out of ten people would get a nosebleed just by looking at them.

  "You've taken a wrong turn." I said seriously.

  "It was Mr. Tang who asked us to serve the two of them."

  Those two giant peaks are really intimidating, and the tight little valley below is even more so. A man needs to have extraordinary willpower to tackle them, it's not an easy feat at all.

  To be honest, I really want to pull it in...

  But as Master said, the beginning of a person's desire is also the beginning of his demise.

  I pinched him under the table and he refused her. "Sorry, we're very tired, some other time. Thank you, go back and tell Mr. Tang."

  Ninety percent of those lost eyes, that lost face pulled down two feet long.

  After sleeping till evening, Tang Tianbao's secretary opened the door and told us to go downstairs for dinner.

  "This meal is great, that big fish is delicious, the rest are some things I've never eaten before, who cares about them, as long as I and Jiucheng get a chance to eat, we'll have a full meal." Tang Tianbao said, revealing the truth of the matter.

  What's going on? Listen to me.

  Tang Tianbao's business in Myanmar is huge, and his assets are beyond calculation.

  In order to save money, he bought a strange and frequent small village from a Chinese in Myanmar as his base, but a strange thing happened in a large courtyard in this village.

  He thought that with so many people, he would be intimidated, but in fact, it was just the opposite.

  This big yard has a backyard, the gate of this backyard is always locked. The person who sold it to the villagers said that under no circumstances should anyone enter this backyard. A few bold partners, advanced youth cultivated by socialism, did not listen to advice and forcibly broke in. As a result, they died without even leaving any remains, and it's still unknown how they died.

  Tang Tianbao thought there was something unclean in the backyard, and he found countless masters in Myanmar and Thailand, but as soon as they entered the backyard, it was certain death.

  In the end, they couldn't just abandon the village that cost so much money to buy, so his brother asked a master from their hometown to come and solve it.

  Here comes me.

  Without saying much, under Tang Tianhu's arrangement, after a day of driving and half a day of horse-drawn carriage, they finally arrived at this so-called mysterious village.

  The village is not big, but it's desolate and uninhabited, I don't know why it's like this.

  I and Jiucheng soon arrived at this big yard.
