We were immediately disappointed. It seemed that the Taoist priest was trying to avoid us. The divination skills of the Ox-nosed One were quite good. He actually knew we would come in advance and didn't open the door early in the morning. He lied to us that he was in seclusion to get rid of us. In the end, he couldn't stand Shen Bing's shameless knocking on the door and had to come out and tell us the truth.
I opened the wooden box and took out the Bagua mirror, which just fit through the crack in the door. I said to the Taoist inside, "Please give this thing to Taoist Xuanzhen. If he still refuses to see us, then we will leave."
The young Taoist refused to take the gift, frowned and said: "I have made it so clear, yet you still don't give up..."
Shen Bing interrupted him and shouted, "Don't waste your time. If you don't show me your stuff, I'll break the door down for you today."
"You dare! This is a quiet Taoist place. If you dare to break in, we will call the police!" Damn, the Taoist actually knew how to call the police. However, he didn't realize that this stubborn girl was a police officer.
"Look at the ID clearly, I am □□. I suspect that your Taoist temple is hiding drugs and harbouring drug dealers. Open the door immediately, or I will sue you for obstructing public service." Shen Bing quickly blocked the □□'s ID in the crack of the door.
The young Taoist really knew what he was doing. After seeing the certificate clearly, his face changed and he took the Bagua mirror very reluctantly and said, "You wait and don't knock on the door again." Then he turned and walked inside.
Not long after, the little ox-nosed man came back, handed the Bagua mirror to the door, and said with a cold face: "The Taoist priest said that this token belongs to the ancestors of the previous generation and has nothing to do with him. You can go back. He also said that if you want to search the temple, you should show us a search warrant. We have done nothing wrong and we are not afraid."
We were all stunned as we watched the little bull nose figure disappear through the crack of the door. After all, the old Taoist priests are more experienced than the little bastards, and they knew that without a search warrant, the police had no right to force their way in.
Shen Bing was so angry that she was fuming. She widened her eyes and reached out to knock on the door again. I grabbed her hand and sighed, "Let's go. Let's find a place to shelter from the rain first. Don't let Qu Mo get wet."
Qu Mo closed her eyes tightly and lay quietly in Wang Zijun's arms. Her wet long hair hung under his arms and her pale face was covered with rain, which made people feel even more distressed.
When Shen Bing and I were about to turn around and walk away, Wang Zijun suddenly shouted at me angrily, "Why have you always refused to teach me advanced Taoist techniques? If I had learned as much as you, would Qu Mo have ended up like this?"
I was stunned. What was he doing? Shen Bing was also stunned, not knowing what to say.
Wang Zijun wiped the rain off his face, stared at me angrily, and then shouted: "I asked you to learn Taoism not just to pick up girls. I want to protect Qu Mo and keep her from getting hurt. Do you understand?" The last sentence was so heartbreaking that it almost deafened my ears!
I felt as if my heart was hit by a hammer. I stood in the rain, letting the heavy rain rush down on my head, unable to utter a word.
"Zijun, please don't go crazy, okay? In fact, Tuyouzi is not feeling well either. He is feeling more miserable than anyone else right now. He will definitely find a way to solve Qu Mo's problem. Please don't force him anymore!" Shen Bing said to Wang Zijun with tears in her eyes.
My heart suddenly ached, and my eyes became wet, but I didn't know if it was rain or tears. When I was at my most vulnerable, Shen Bing understood me the most, which moved me deeply! I held her hand and said in a deep voice, "Let him vent."
