Wang Muxuan and Wang Mulei exchanged a glance. They had actually tried to swindle money from the Wang family. It was truly outrageous that a tiger had fallen into the plains and was being bullied by dogs. Anyone would try to extort money from the Wang family. This was the Wang family's home, and the two of them were the direct descendants of the Wang family, naturally destined for wealth and honor. However, their father, mother, and third brother were imprisoned, which was certainly unfortunate for them.
Wang Muxuan usually got along well with Jiang Jingzhan, the second son of the Marquis of Ningguo, and thus had some of the impulsiveness and bloodlust that only a martial artist possesses. In a very bad mood, he walked towards the Taoist priest and said, "You stinking Taoist priest, you have a way to heaven but you don't take it, and you have no way to hell but you insist on coming here. Guards, seize this stinking Taoist priest!"
The gatekeepers exchanged a glance and then rolled up their sleeves to grab the Taoist priest. However, the priest was extremely cunning, like an eel, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't catch him.
"Young masters, I only offered my help out of pity for your helplessness, but you are so ungrateful. In that case, I shall return home, I shall return home." The Taoist priest negotiated with the gatekeeper for a while, and then he really was about to leave, the flag in his hand fluttering in the wind.
"Established families, destined to fall like leaves, are doomed. What a pity, what a pity, they could have been saved." The Taoist shook his head and sighed.
Wang Muxuan and his brother exchanged a glance, both seeing the emotion in each other's eyes. They had tried many methods, but this one had not worked. Wang Mulei hurriedly called out to the Taoist priest, "Taoist priest, please wait."
The Taoist priest ignored him and continued to say, "He cannot be kept, he cannot be kept."
Wang Mulei was anxious and ordered the gatekeepers on both sides, "Bring the Taoist priest to me."
The gatekeeper went to stop the Taoist priest and tried to reason with him, but the priest reluctantly turned around. He looked impatient and approached the Wang brothers, asking arrogantly, "I wonder what you two gentlemen want with me? Aren't you afraid I'll cheat you out of your money?"
Wang Muxuan turned his head away without speaking, and Wang Mulei quickly said with a smile, "Daoist, you misunderstand. My brother and I stopped you because we have something to ask you."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest turned around without saying a word, saying, "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed, heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
Wang Mulei reached out and grabbed the Taoist priest, saying with utmost sincerity, "Would you do me the honor of visiting my home?"
The Taoist priest glanced at the white lanterns and funeral banners hanging in front of the door, then his gaze shifted to the white robes of the two Wang brothers. The gatekeeper, also dressed in white linen, shook his head. “This place is filled with yin energy and is not suitable for entry. Since I have met you two gentlemen, it is fate. Even so, I will say a few more words.”
The Taoist priest seemed to possess considerable knowledge, so the group listened attentively, saying, "Please speak, Taoist priest."
The Taoist priest first calculated with his fingers, then pondered for a moment, "Hmm, at this hour we can glimpse a glimmer of hope, but this would be a revelation of heavenly secrets..."
Wang Muxuan and his brother exchanged a glance. Wang Mulei said, "Daoist, please speak freely. If you can help us overcome this difficulty, we will reward you with a fortune."
The Taoist shook his head. “No, no, how could I be the kind of wicked Taoist who cheats people out of their money? It’s just that… well, since I am destined to be with you two gentlemen, I can still find a way to avoid this mere divine punishment. But, alas, well, well, gentlemen, come closer to my ear.”
The two leaned closer, and the Taoist priest whispered, "Gentlemen, the yin energy in your mansion is too heavy. Is there an ancient person who hasn't left yet?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance, instinctively sensing that there was a contradiction in the matter. Everyone knew that the old master had not yet been buried, but they had been busy running around seeking help and had not had time to properly bury him.
"What do you think we should do, Taoist Master?" Wang Mulei asked again.
The Taoist priest glanced at the two men and shook his head. “Respect for the dead is paramount. I advise you two gentlemen to quickly bury the deceased so that they may rest in peace. The yin energy in your residence is affecting the lifespan of the living.”
The two brothers were shocked. Could it affect their lifespan? They immediately decided to bury Grand Master Wang as soon as possible. "Taoist Master, is there any way to help us two brothers?" Wang Mulei asked tentatively. These days, they had been running around everywhere, and their maternal grandfather had also consulted many people, but all to no avail. They were now desperate. This question was just a last resort, but a glimmer of hope had been ignited in their hearts.
The Taoist priest glanced at the two young men and said, “Your filial piety is truly touching. I shall add that the evil spirits in your household are causing trouble. We must find something to relieve the problem.”
"What is it?"
The Taoist priest gestured for the two to come closer. The two exchanged a glance, then approached the priest. The priest whispered something in their ears, then shook his head, sighed, and walked away.
Hearing the Taoist's words, the two did not stop him. Wang Mulei said, "Brother, isn't that Jiang Er-ge's beloved possession?"
