Xu Jianguo patted its huge head and said, "Xiao Hei, this is the Taoist priest, one of us!"
Upon hearing this, the human-like Xiao Hei ran to the old Taoist priest and rubbed his head against his leg to show his friendliness.
When Xiao Hei ran out just now, he really scared the old Taoist priest. This guy was really too big and powerful.
After carefully reaching out and touching Xiao Hei's head, the two people and the dog walked into the house.
"Sitian, let me introduce you. This is Funiu's uncle, Taoist Xuanjue."
"Master, this is my lover, Wen Sitian."
"Wulian Tianzun, hello, Mr. Wen."
"Hello, Taoist priest!" Wen Sitian said.
"Old man! Why weren't you as polite when you saw me as you are now?" Xu Jianguo asked somewhat unhappily.
"It's different. When we first met, I thought you were a thief, so naturally I wouldn't be polite to you!" said the old Taoist priest.
"I……"
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Jianguo pointed at Fu Niu lying on the kang and said, "That's my sister Fu Niu, your niece."
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest quickly walked to the edge of the kang, bent down and looked at Funiu, his eyes full of pity, doting and heartache. But when he saw the jade pendant hanging around the little girl's neck, his expression was filled with sadness.
Xu Jianguo stood by and kept paying attention to the old Taoist's expression. He was still a little wary in his heart, so he remained alert at all times.
If the old Taoist priest did something to hurt Funiu at this time, Xu Jianguo would definitely give him a fatal blow.
People's micro-expressions and eyes cannot lie. When Xu Jianguo saw the old Taoist priest's true feelings, his vigilance relaxed a little. However, time reveals a person's true character. In his previous life, he was a wealthy businessman. Although he may not have seen countless people, he still had the basic ability to judge people. It was impossible for him to trust the old Taoist priest so quickly, so he had to observe for a while before he could completely let go.
Xu Jianguo stepped forward and helped Funiu up. Wen Sitian lifted the clothes on the back of the little girl and showed the red rash to the old Taoist priest.
When the old Taoist saw the word "Tao" behind Funniu, he was struck by lightning, his hair and beard trembled, and he pointed at Funniu's back with his right hand and was speechless for a long time.
After the couple helped Funiu tidy up her clothes, Xu Jianguo said something to Wen Sitian, and then dragged the old Taoist priest, who was standing there in a daze, out of the house.
Xuanjue was dragged back to Wuwei Temple by Xu Jianguo in a daze. He only came to his senses when he sat on a chair.
Xu Jianguo didn't say anything. He understood the old Taoist's mood at the moment. He was also shocked when he saw him in the hospital before.
He knew that the old Taoist priest needed time to digest this matter, so he did not disturb him. He just poured out the tea leaves in the teapot, then put the tea leaves and space well water back in and started to make tea.
After the water in the teapot boiled, Xu Jianguo poured tea into two teacups, then picked up one cup and drank it slowly.
"Jianguo, what do you think is going on?" When Xu Jianguo was about to finish his cup of tea, the old Taoist priest finally asked.
"I can't explain exactly what happened, but I wasn't lying when I said it was a hint from the Three Pure Ones. They really asked me to collect nine magical instruments, which is why I was able to find the Wuwei Temple," said Xu Jianguo.
"Master Sanqing, could it be that the ancestor of my Taoist sect is still alive? How is this possible!" the old Taoist muttered to himself.
"Master Taoist, I think that you are a senior Taoist after all. As you often say, 'If you believe it, it exists; if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist'. Anyway, the matter is already in front of us, so why bother about whether it is true or not? Even if you know the truth, what can you do? It won't help at all, and it won't change the status quo! For me, as long as the girl Funniu can grow up safely, healthily and happily, I can't control other things, and I don't want to control them!" Xu Jianguo said.
After a moment, the old Taoist Xuanjue let out a long breath and said, "Boy, you're right. Some things can't be changed by human power. Just be yourself and don't go against your heart. I was too paranoid."
"Master, have a cup of tea!" Xu Jianguo poured out the tea in the old Taoist's cup and poured him another cup.
The old Taoist priest picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. A warm current flowed down his throat and into his stomach. He felt much more relaxed and asked, "Boy, I can feel that Fu Niu's condition is not very optimistic. We have to hurry up. What are your plans for the next step?"
"My next target is Kunlun Death Valley!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Death Valley?!" asked the old Taoist priest.
"Master, have you heard of this?" Xu Jianguo heard a hint of surprise in his tone, so he asked.
"Well, I've heard my master talk about this place. According to him, the Kunlun Mountain Death Valley is located in the Kunlun Mountain area on the plateau and is known as the 'Gateway to Hell'," said the old Taoist priest.
"The Gate of Hell? That doesn't sound like a good place!"
"Yes, my master said that he had seen some records in the classics, saying that it was a place of criminal law in ancient times, specially used to punish some ancient powerful people who committed serious crimes, so there were thunders falling from the sky all year round. The so-called "Gate of Hell" is because there is a Temple of Impermanence in Death Valley. The Black and White Impermanence, the soul-collecting messengers of the underworld, are enshrined in the temple. It is said that after the punished person is killed by the thunder, his soul will enter the underworld from the Temple of Impermanence to continue to be punished, hence the title of the Gate of Hell. As for who built this temple, no one knows." The old Taoist priest said.
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, Xu Jianguo sighed in his heart and thought that it was a wise choice to bring the old Taoist priest back. Otherwise, how would he know these things? Even though he was a reborn person, he had never been to Death Valley in his previous life.
"Master, please have a good rest. I need to make some preparations in advance. I will leave when I am ready. We will meet again when I come back!" After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the old Taoist priest.
"Wait a minute! Boy, you are not planning to abandon me and go alone, are you?" said the old Taoist priest.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter? You little bastard, you are killing the donkey after it has done its work. What's the matter? Do you think that I am too old to lift the sword?" The old Taoist said angrily.
Xu Jianguo's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that this old Taoist priest's words were quite tough.
