At this time, the disciples of the martial arts school had already dispersed. The girl then saw a young man with an unfamiliar face standing in front of her.
This young man had delicate features, a dignified bearing, an inviolable aura, was of medium build, and was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The girl took the wicker box from Wu Yugang and said, "Since you are my benefactor, please clean out the inside!"
Wu Yuguang and the middle-aged man known as Second Uncle walked into the hall.
This is the front yard of the house, which is used as a martial arts hall and a place to receive guests, while the backyard is the host's lounge.
Not long after, a man about the same age as the middle-aged man walked in and said to the second uncle: "Second brother, what's going on?"
The second uncle said, "Brother! You are back now. How come this disciple whom I once valued so much has become so unkind and unjust after the village downstream was allocated to him?"
The elder brother said, "Really? Tell me in detail what happened!"
The second uncle said, "They hired some thugs to come here and block our stream. I went to argue with them. If it weren't for the help of this strong man, I would have no idea if I could have returned safely!"
The elder brother then noticed Wu Yuguang who was sitting next to him and said, "It looks pretty serious!" We talked while eating.
After a while, a sumptuous dinner was set in the living room. Although it was in the wilderness, the host had just returned from the market after all.
At this time, everyone in the family came.
The man called the eldest brother said, "There are no outsiders here today, let's chat together!" As he spoke, the family sat around the table. Wu Yuguang was arranged to sit next to the girl next to the middle-aged man called the eldest brother. Wu Yuguang felt a little uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man called the eldest brother raised his glass and said, "Let's drink to the hero who helped us first. Let's celebrate the hero's arrival. If it weren't for him, my second uncle would be in danger."
The second uncle also said, "No need to thank me for my kindness, it's all in the wine." Wu Yugang had no way to refuse, so he picked up the glass and took a sip.
Before he put down his cup, he heard the man he called "Big Brother" say, "Little hero, what's your name and how old are you?"
Wu Yugang said: "My name is Wu Yugang, and I am eighteen years old."
The middle-aged man called the eldest brother said, "Oh, she's about the same age as my daughter!" Wu Yuguang looked at the girl next to him.
Then the middle-aged man was heard continuing, "My benefactor is here, let me introduce myself first. My name is Yang Mingyu. I am the village chief and the head of this martial arts school." Wu Yuguang looked at Yang Mingyu with a naive smile.
"This is my wife, Madam Yang." Yang Mingyu pointed at the simple lady beside him and said. Wu Yugang smiled and nodded.
"This is my eldest son, his name is Yang Chenxiao." Wu Yuguang saw the honest young man sitting next to him.
"His wife is looking after the child and is not here. This little boy is my youngest son, named Yang Chenguang." Wu Yuguang saw the clever little boy standing nearby, and the little boy was making faces at Wu Yuguang.
“This second uncle is called Yang Mingjian, he is the director of the martial arts school and also my assistant.
This girl is my daughter, her name is Yang Wushuang." Yang Mingyu just said this.
Then Yang Wushuang said, "Dad, stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"
Yang Mingyu said, "This girl is so mean." The girl glared at Yang Mingyu angrily, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into the bowl of Wu Yuguang who had not yet picked up his chopsticks.
Yang Mingyu asked: "Uncle, what powerful enemy have you encountered? Is there anyone who dares to attack Taiji Sect? Our Taiji Sect is famous all over the world!"
Yang Mingjian said, "What else can I say? The village chief of the downstream village is your apprentice, Zhen Xin. I really misjudged you. You asked him to manage dozens of households downstream and made him the village chief, but he turned around and opposed you. This guy will change if you give him some power!"
Yang Mingyu sighed and said, "Didn't you recommend Zhen Xin at that time? Let's not talk about this now. What kind of enemies did you encounter? Were you unable to defeat them?!"
Yang Mingjian said: "Those people's martial arts are mediocre, but their evil skills are hard to resist. My inner strength is deep, so I was not restrained by their forbidden spells. None of the disciples who went there could escape the forbidden spells."
"Who are those people and which sect do they belong to?" Yang Mingyu asked.
Yang Mingjian said: "I don't know where those people from the downstream village came from, they are from the Qingwei Sect!"
"Qingwei Sect!? This is very unfamiliar!" Yang Mingyu pondered.
Wu Yugang said on the side: "The Qingwei Sect is not a big sect. However, although their sect is not very famous, many Taoists who catch ghosts and perform rituals belong to the Qingwei Sect."
Yang Mingyu was surprised and asked, "Young man, how do you know that?"
Wu Yugang said: "I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. Chinese medicine has some methods for treating hysteria. When I was studying Chinese medicine, my teacher told me that those secret words for treatment are actually Taoist spells. There is a Taoist sect called the Qingwei Sect, which is good at writing spells and can catch ghosts, perform rituals, pray for rain, drive away disasters, and cure diseases."
"You know about this sect!" Yang Mingyu looked at Wu Yuguang, the amazing young man, in amazement.
Wu Yugang said: "It's not that I understand, I just know a little bit!"
Yang Mingyu said: "Then tell me!"
Wu Yugang said: "Traditional Chinese medicine originated from China's native religion, Taoism. Taoism has many sects, and it is said that one can become an immortal through cultivation. However, I don't know much about it. And this Qingwei Sect is said to have been passed down by Yuanshi Tianzun of the Qingwei Heavenly Jade Palace, so it is named Qingwei."
"What are their specific strengths?" Yang Mingyu asked.
Wu Yugang said: "Writing spells is what those people are good at."
"Can a living person be restrained by a talisman?" Yang Mingyu asked.
"This talisman is very magical. It can cure some hypochondriasis. Many of those talismans can restrain people's behavior. The ones circulating now are mainly those that can restrain people's spirit and anger. There are also many spells that can cause people to suffer from various catastrophic diseases and so on." Wu Yuguang said as he thought.
"Is there no way to break these spells?" Yang Mingyu asked.
Wu Yuguang said: "It's not that there is no way to break it. The mantras of the Hundred Curses and some words from Buddhist scriptures can break it. However, it is difficult to predict!" "How did you resist those forbidden spells? Can you rely on your deep internal strength?" Yang Mingyu asked doubtfully.
Yang Mingjian said, "During the fight, I saw that Wu Yugang's great righteousness made it difficult for those people to get close to him. However, he is young and has more strength than softness!" (To be continued)
