"Senior brother, I'm injured. I'll go to the medicine hall first and be back soon." After Tang Liufeng finished speaking, he turned around and winked at us before turning around and walking out of the small courtyard.

Zhao Xuening and I looked at each other, both feeling strange, and were about to turn around when suddenly the ginkgo trees became restless, a strong wind blew, and the courtyard door slammed shut. The dust and fallen leaves on the ground were picked up by the strong wind, and attacked us head-on.

I held my head in my hands and said, "Oh no, the damn people inside are doing evil tricks, we can't escape."

After Tang Liufeng shouted "Ah", the strong wind suddenly stopped, and the initial calm returned to the small courtyard. We let go and raised our heads tremblingly. Tang Liufeng and the little Taoist boy beside us disappeared. Zhao Xuening and Yu Jia were standing behind me.

Yu Min's hand was squeezed tightly by me and felt very cold.

Before we had time to react to what had just happened, we saw a blur in front of our eyes. A middle-aged man stood outside the door. He was wearing a Taoist robe, a Taoist crown on his head, and a whisk in his hand. He looked like a Taoist immortal.

This person's face is slightly dark, with a black hair on his left cheekbone, and extremely thin lips, which makes him look a bit weird.[

"This poor Taoist is the master of the Great Ming Temple, Wu Xuan. All the donors were frightened just now." The Taoist waved his fly whisk and bowed to us, with a dull expression on his face.

"Where is your junior brother?" I looked around and suddenly found a blue brick sticking out of the east courtyard wall, with obvious traces of man-made signs.

"He escaped." Wu Xuan sighed.

"Why did he run away? What bad things did he do?" Yu Jia asked.

Wu Xuan's face was still expressionless, and he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Please give me a speech inside."

Zhao Xuening is good at observing subtle changes in people, but after watching for a long time, she probably didn't see anything wrong with Wu Xuan. She gently shook her head at me, indicating that it was not a good place to stay for a long time. I thought to myself that I still didn't understand why Tang Liufeng wanted to escape.

How can we leave? Besides, we are already deeply trapped in the Taoist temple. Do we still want to leave safely? Now we can only make peace with what we have come and take it one step at a time. I pulled Yu Min and strode into the house. Zhao Xuening and Yu Jia followed helplessly.

.

The room is very simply decorated, fully embodying the Taoist realm of tranquility. There is only a low couch, a futon on the floor, and a portrait of the Taoist founder hanging on the left wall. Other than that, there is nothing else.

.

Wu Xuan was not polite to us, he sat cross-legged on the couch and let us stand on the ground.

"You guys were deceived by my junior brother. He has taken refuge in the Qiao family to help the tyrants, secretly occupying Mingguan Island, and wants to turn the Mingguan Temple, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, into a place of witchcraft and prostitution!" Wu Xuan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

He said in a leisurely manner.

I was moved in my heart and asked him: "It's good that he took refuge with the Qiao family, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as you think. Your Great Ming Guan doesn't seem to be an authentic Taoist religion."

After hearing this, Wu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, which startled me.

"What do you mean by the donor's words?"

"Hey, there are carvings of witchcraft symbols on the stone tripod outside the mountain gate. Do you dare to say that this is the inherited culture of Taoism?" I asked with a sneer.

Zhao Xuening and Yu Jia looked at me with surprised expressions on their faces. Apparently they didn't expect that I had noticed something fishy.

"The donor misunderstood. That stone tripod was done by Mr. Qiao, and there is nothing I can do about it." Although Wu Xuan's tone was serious, his expression remained unchanged, as if he was wearing a mask.

I nodded, this is believable. The Qiao family is trying to occupy the territory of Mingguan Island with the help of Tang Liufeng. The Taoists probably don't have much to do to deal with it.

"Donor, please rest in my room for a while. I still have things to do and will be back later." Wu Xuan said and stood up.

Zhao Xuening and I exchanged glances with each other before saying that we wouldn't bother us anymore and wanted to leave Mingguan Island. However, Wu Xuan disappeared as soon as he flashed. It was as strange as a ghost. The four of us stared in shock at the same time.
