The old Taoist priest was blasted away by Xu Jianguo's palm and fell in front of the dilapidated gate of Wuwei Temple. His eyes were full of horror and he looked at the young man standing not far away in disbelief.
Xu Jianguo stood where he was and did not continue to attack the old Taoist priest. He just looked at his outstretched right hand with surprise on his face.
After a moment, Xu Jianguo came to his senses, looked at the old Taoist priest who was slumped on the ground, and walked towards him.
"Stop, stop, stop! I am no match for you!" said the old Taoist priest with a cough.
Xu Jianguo did not stop, but walked up to the old Taoist priest and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Jianguo to ask such a question. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine! It's just that my blood circulation is a little blocked. I'll be fine after a while!"
"That's good. I just started practicing and I couldn't control my strength for a while. Don't blame me, Taoist priest!"
The old Taoist priest looked at Xu Jianguo standing in front of him with a constipated expression, thinking to himself: "Young people have no martial ethics, killing people and destroying their hearts. Don't I have any dignity?"
"Ahem, young man, can you tell me now how you got through the thick fog?" The old Taoist blushed slightly and changed the subject.
"I came in through the secret passage!" said Xu Jianguo.
"Secret passage? How do you know the secret passage?" the old Taoist asked in surprise.
"I just wandered around in the woods and found it!" Xu Jianguo continued.
"Fuck...!" the old Taoist cursed unconsciously.
Xu Jianguo looked at the old Taoist priest with a dark face and said, "Master, you are a monk, please pay attention to your manners!"
The old Taoist priest felt that the young man had no ill will towards him and should not be one of those people, so he couldn't help but feel relieved. He just gave Xu Jianguo a blank look and stood up from the ground staggeringly.
"Young man, what's your name?" the old Taoist priest patted his chest and asked.
"Master, my name is Xu Jianguo."
"What are you doing in my Wuwei Temple?"
"I came here to retrieve a Taoist magic weapon!"
"Magic weapon?!" The old Taoist priest's eyes widened upon hearing this. He looked at Xu Jianguo warily and said, "I don't have any magical weapons in Wuwei Temple. You can see how dilapidated this place is. How can there be any magical weapons?"
"Master, monks cannot lie. I took the magic weapon to save people. Besides, if I didn't have any accurate information, why would I run to this ghost place for no reason?" Xu Jianguo looked at the old Taoist priest and said with a serious expression.
"Who asked you to come and get the magic weapon?"
"The Three Pure Ones!" Xu Jianguo told the truth.
"What? Are you kidding me?" the old Taoist priest started to curse.
Xu Jianguo also felt that what he said was a little unreliable, so he asked, "Master, what is your name?"
"Poverty-stricken Xuanjue!"
"Xuanjue?" Xu Jianguo repeated.
"Well, have you heard of me?"
"No!"
"There's nothing wrong with you repeating it!" Xuanjue said unhappily.
"Master, do you know Xuanyuan?" Xu Jianguo asked.
When Xuan Jue heard Xuan Yuan's name, his aura suddenly changed. He stared at Xu Jianguo with murderous eyes and asked, "Why do you know my junior brother's name? What did you do to him?"
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he knew that the old Taoist priest had misunderstood. However, he also let down his guard a little and quickly said, "Master Taoist, you misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding? What's going on?" Xuanjue asked.
Xu Jianguo didn't say anything. He turned and walked towards the east room, saying as he walked: "Master, you've been standing here for a long time. Come in and rest for a while. I'll tell you slowly!"
Although the old Taoist priest felt helpless, he was eager to know the whereabouts of his junior brother, so he had to follow Xu Jianguo back to the house.
"You little brat, tell me quickly, where is my junior brother?" Xuanjue asked hurriedly after sitting down.
Xu Jianguo took out a water bottle from his backpack and took a sip before slowly speaking, "Master, this is what happened..."
Half an hour later.
With a "bang", Xuanjue slapped the table, causing the teapot and teacups to jingle.
"Boy, are you telling the truth? My junior brother and my nephew Mingkong are both gone?" Xuanjue asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes, he died on the day I met Taoist Xuanyuan. Mingzhen has been following me ever since." Xu Jianguo did not tell Xuanjue that Xuanyuan's tomb was empty, nor did he tell him that Funniu was a Taoist spiritualist. He just told Xuanjue that before Xuanyuan died, he calculated that Funniu was in trouble and needed to use Taoist magic tools to get through it safely, so he came to Wuwei Temple.
"Ah!" Xuanjue sighed and said, "It seems my master was right. Before he passed away, he once said that the Dao sect would face a catastrophe not seen in a century, and the one who would bear the calamity is a child in my Dao sect."
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he was secretly delighted. He didn't expect that he could have gotten away with it. No matter what kind of disaster it was, as long as Fu Niu was not hurt, it would be fine.
Just when he thought Xuanjue was about to hand the magic weapon to him, he heard the old Taoist priest say, "Boy, what you just said to me is only your one-sided statement. The magic weapon is a treasure of our Taoist sect. I can't hand it over to you easily unless I can see my little nephew. If you don't agree, please leave!"
Xu Jianguo hadn't expected the old Taoist priest to try to trick him at the last minute. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Okay, Taoist Priest, I promise you! But the journey is quite long, so I won't let you see Mingzhen until I can confirm that the magic weapon is truly with you!"
The old Taoist priest was about to glare upon hearing this, but Xu Jianguo ignored him and continued, "Master, don't be impatient. Listen to me! After all, I once promised Master Xuanyuan that I would protect the little girl's safety, so I must do what I said. If the magic weapon is not with you, or if you have any bad intentions towards Mingzhen, then I will be breaking my promise to Master Xuanyuan."
Xuanjue didn't say anything. He stared at Xu Jianguo for a while before he said, "Okay, I promise you, I can let you take a look at the magic weapon first, but if you think you can just snatch it away with your current ability, I advise you to give up the idea!"
"Don't worry, if I really wanted to snatch it away, I wouldn't have stopped just now," said Xu Jianguo.
Xuanjue nodded, stood up, took Xu Jianguo out of the house, and walked towards the dilapidated house with broken tiles opposite.
"Master, is the magic weapon hidden here?" Xu Jianguo asked with some confusion.
The old Taoist priest didn't say anything. He bent down and began to clean up the tiles, stones and wood on the ground. Xu Jianguo went up to help and activated the Eye of Time and Space.
