"Where are those people? Take us there quickly!" Wu Yuguang urged.
Hearing Wu Yugang's urging, Wuyazi also became a little worried, but there was no one chasing after the woman who ran out, which was also surprising. Where could a woman go in the deep mountains? Instead of going there, let's take a look. The two chivalrous men hurriedly followed the woman who asked for help.
Soon, the three of them arrived outside a temple. This small temple was located in a dense forest in the valley, but it was also quiet, with some crops planted on the surrounding hills. The temple door was closed, and loud arguments could be heard in the courtyard.
The woman said to the two men, "This is it. We are a family of three. They are forcing us to stay. My brother is still inside. Please rescue him quickly!"
Wuyazi ordered the woman to stand aside. He went forward and knocked on the door. There were three small temples and a shallow courtyard. After a long while, someone opened the door and a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old came out. The woman hid behind Wu Yugang.
The young man asked in a muffled voice, "Who are you looking for?" From his words and actions, Wuyazi knew that he was a fool.
Wuyazi said to the fool, "We are just passing by! We would like to ask for a bowl of water to drink. Please give us a favor."
The fool shouted to the inside of the house: "Mom! Someone wants some water, I let them in!"
Before he could finish his words, Wu Yuguang and the other man had already walked into the courtyard, with the fool blocking them in front.
A woman inside the house shouted, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in?"
Another man's voice was speaking to someone unknown: "If you agree, I'll let you go. Your sister can live a leisurely and comfortable life here, and can also practice the art of immortality, so why not?"
A young man said, "We are a long way from here, so don't even think about it. My parents at home won't agree! You should find another family! There's no point in not letting me go!"
Wuyazi heard the words in the house and knew that what the woman who asked for help said was true. This is indeed a Taoist place, but the Taoists here are a bit annoying. Reciprocity is the norm. Why force others to agree with something? Don't impose on others what you don't want others to do to you. Maybe this is the key to distinguishing a good person from a bad one! The state of inaction of Taoists may lie here! When you show courtesy to others, you must have something to ask for. If you can't get what you want, you will have a desire to steal! People! How can you eliminate desires? And how can such Taoists achieve anything!
The fool tried to stop them: "Wait here, I'll get you some water. Wait!"
Wuyazi didn't care about these things and quickly walked into the side room where they were talking. He saw a middle-aged couple blocking a young man in his twenties in the room and talking to him. The young man was big and strong and looked a little rude, but there was a hint of elegance in his rudeness. He was also a man who had read books and seen the world.
When the young man saw someone coming in, he said hurriedly, "Someone is coming now! Please judge for me. My wife and I passed by here, and these two people insisted that I marry my wife to their stupid son. This is unreasonable. I refused, but they still forced me to do it! Such a cultivator is really rare!"
"Aren't you brother and sister? If I had known this would happen--" When he said this, a strange light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. Every move of the people in the room did not escape Wuyazi's sight.
The Taoist's strange eyes revealed a sinister and cunning look. Wuyazi suddenly felt cold in his heart. He knew that this old Taoist was not a kind person. His evil heart was so vicious that even the gods and ghosts were shocked. If he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would be disastrous. In the wild mountains and wilderness, where strange techniques are rampant, who knows how this Taoist will harm and control people! This kind couple who passed by from afar are not destined to die. They met us. How can we let this Taoist who harms people succeed
Wuyazi laughed and said, "Hahaha! What did I think it was? So that's it! This is easy to handle! You and I are both cultivators, and all Taoists in the world are one family. How can I not help my fellow Taoists? Come on, let me explain things to this couple!" As he said that, he waved his hand for the young man in the house to come out.
Wu Yugang stood outside the door, and was shocked when he heard his senior brother say this. Senior brother, how could you do this! Isn't this helping the tyrant? A man's will cannot be taken away. It's unacceptable to harm this couple like this. Maybe this dandy senior brother, you don't understand the world. Doing this is also against the morality of the Chunyang Sect, and violates the Chunyang Dao's intention of self-cultivation and saving people!
When the owner of the house heard Wuyazi say that he was a Taoist and wanted to help him, he had some doubts in his heart, but in his confusion, he said to Wuyazi: "Thank you for your help, Taoist friend. I didn't know you had come so far, so I didn't go to greet you. I hope you can forgive me."
The couple in the house were watching Wuyazi coming in. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sturdy young man hurried out of the door. The woman behind Wu Yugang was overjoyed to see her brother coming out. She went forward to ask about his health and check if he was injured. The man also asked about the woman's condition.
I only heard Wuyazi say in the house: "Your crime is unforgivable. You actually violated the original intention of Taoism and did something that hurt heaven and earth. Do you know your crime?"
Wu Yugang, who was standing outside the door, heard his senior brother's sudden change of tone and knew what he meant. He wanted to call the trapped man out first and then take action. His senior brother was really smart. He was so resourceful in a desperate situation. It was admirable. It was not that simple to punish these Taoists. Extraordinary means must be used. Otherwise, it would be useless and would not benefit him.
"Where did you come from, you wild Taoist priest? How dare you teach us! It seems you don't want to live anymore! If I don't teach you, you still don't know that the Horse King has three eyes!" The owner of the house said fiercely.
At this time, Wuyazi had already come to the courtyard and hinted to Wu Yugang. Wu Yugang laughed secretly and told the couple: "Hurry up and leave! We are here. You should go to the main road and don't go through the mountains and wild ridges anymore. It's too dangerous. Leave here quickly, we are here!"
Wuyazi said to the Zhengyi Taoist couple who had rushed into the courtyard: "I am Zhang Daoling, the Supreme Purity Immortal. I know that you have violated the will of Heaven, so I have come here to punish you!"
"Don't come on! Xiu De deceived us! Don't let those two go!" The righteous Taoist said, and chased after the couple who were about to leave. Wu Yugang stepped forward quickly and blocked the way of the Zhengyi Taoist.
The Zhengyi couple was extremely angry when they saw that they were stopped. In anger, the middle-aged man said fiercely: "How dare you ruin our good deeds? I will let you know how powerful you are!" After that, he took out a talisman from somewhere, chanted the formula in the air, shook his sword finger, and sacrificed the talisman. The talisman was as fast as lightning and flew towards Wu Yugang's face. He wanted to use it to imprison Wu Yugang's body.
Wu Yugang saw the talisman flying towards him. When it was almost in front of him, he reached out and took it in his hand. He smiled at the Taoist priest. He opened his mouth and swallowed the talisman. Wu Yugang laughed as he savored the talisman. (To be continued)
