Chapter 10 Someone is visiting
Wushan City.

Located in the villa area in the city center.

A black car drove in slowly and finally stopped in front of an elegantly decorated villa.

As the car door opened, a middle-aged man in business attire got out.

next moment.

"father!"

A delicate little girl in a princess dress flew into the man's arms.

"Oh, look who it is! Isn't this our lovely little Princess May? Did mom buy this dress? It's so beautiful!"

The man caught his daughter who was running towards him, spun her around in his hands, and then held her in his arms.

As he walked towards the room, he met a beautiful young woman who was just approaching the door.

"Yaxin, did you take Wuyue shopping smoothly?"

He put his daughter down and hugged his wife who came up to him, asking.

"It's okay, but there are a lot of people."

“Are there many people?”

Tang Guodong's originally gentle and smiling expression suddenly became a little frozen.

With the tacit understanding they have developed as husband and wife for many years, how could he not understand the meaning behind his wife's words?

After a while, the two separated, and Sun Yaxin carefully touched the inconspicuous suture marks on her husband's head with her hand.

"Does it hurt? Why did you remove the gauze?"

"I'm afraid May will be frightened if she sees it. Well, you don't have to worry. The doctor said it's nothing serious."

He reached out to stop his wife's hand, patted her hand comfortingly, walked into the villa with his wife and daughter, and turned back to close the door.

The family sat down on the sofa in the living room and waved to call the nanny over.

"Xiao Zhang, take Wu Yue upstairs to play for a while."

He picked up his daughter again and placed her in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Wuyue, be good. Daddy and Mommy have something to talk about. Can you go upstairs and play with Aunt Zhang first?"

"Okay~ May is the best!"

After saying that, the little girl ran upstairs, and the nanny beside her hurried to catch up.

After watching his daughter disappear around the corner of the second floor, Tang Guodong withdrew his gaze and looked at his wife sitting opposite him.

"I took Wuyue shopping today. Yaxin, what did you find? Tell me in detail."

At this time, the expressions they both maintained in front of the child became restrained and became serious.

"I'm not sure. I saw from the rearview mirror that there was a van following the driver, but it was always at a distance."

Sun Yaxin's tone was uncertain.

"I saw the car on the way back, but the driver was wearing a hat and I couldn't see his face."

After listening to this, Tang Guodong rubbed his face with his hands, and his voice became a little hoarse.

"Be prepared for the worst"

"I sent my car for inspection yesterday, and they said the engine and control levers were damaged."

The more he spoke, the tighter his brows furrowed, until by the time he finished speaking, his brows were completely twisted into a ball.

Seeing her husband like this, Sun Yaxin leaned over with heartache and stretched out her hands to rub his temples.

"Why don't we give up this project and go back to Jiangcheng?"

He raised his hand and interrupted his wife.

"It's not that simple. I've invested almost half my fortune this time. If I break the contract, I'll have to pay liquidated damages."

The two fell into silence again.

It was a long time before Tang Guodong spoke again.

"I'll have the driver take you and May to the next city. An old friend of mine is there. He has some power that can protect you."

When Sun Yaxin heard her husband say this, her heart skipped a beat. She thought he was going to fight to the death, so he wanted to send his wife and children away first.

"Guodong, don't be impulsive. They are so powerful in the local area. You can't defeat them alone."

As she said this she grabbed his hand tightly.

"If you want to leave, let's leave together! We'll pay the compensation. I still have some money. If it's not enough, we can both pay it back together. May is only six years old. You can't take this risk!"

Tang Guodong listened silently, patted his wife's hand and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. How can I fight against a group of them by myself?"

He paused as he spoke, and the moon-white color that was not of this world flashed through his mind again.

"You may not believe this, but I met a remarkable man. If he's willing to help, perhaps this difficulty can be easily resolved."

"But I'm worried that they won't be able to do anything to me, and will instead attack you and May. The car you saw today has made me more determined."

Sun Yaxin was a little skeptical when she heard her husband's words, but when she looked up at his determined gaze, she finally nodded and got up to go upstairs to pack her luggage.

After watching his wife leave, Tang Guodong did not continue to sit there.

Just get up and walk out the door.

He arrived at the door of the villa, walked to the car, opened the door, got in, stepped on the accelerator and drove directly out of the city.

after an hour.

The black car stopped at the foot of a dangerous mountain.

Looking up at the extremely steep mountain road in front of me, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If I hadn't been asking passers-by along the way, who would have thought that there was a Taoist temple on such a dangerous and rocky mountain?

But now that I've come this far, I have no reason to back down.

Grit your teeth and climb up.

...

Twenty minutes later.
"I can't do it anymore. I can't walk anymore."

Tang Guodong, holding a wooden stick as a crutch, sat down on a protruding rock and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

Looking around, all I could see were gray-white rocks scattered across the ground, dotted with a few small trees.

Looking up again, next to the dazzling sun, you can vaguely see some man-made bricks and tiles.

But just by looking, you can tell that there is still a long way to go if you want to get there.

Tang Guodong was wondering all the way whether he could reach the top of the mountain alive.
Who lives in this Taoist temple on the top of the mountain? Do they usually fly up and down the mountain?
There's not even a step!
"Oh, forget it, let's keep going."

"We've come so far, I have to meet the owner of this Taoist temple first."

After saying this, he stood up with a wooden stick and staggered forward, full of resentment about the road conditions.

"When I get back, I'm going to donate a staircase to this mountain! Climbing this high is enough to send people packing!"

If Lu Gu could hear his inner voice at this time, he would definitely shout that he was innocent.

If this mountain is moved back ten years, there will still be stairs that are convenient for walking.

At that time, there were also pilgrims from nearby villages who came to pray.

However, since the old abbot passed away and Wuweizi succeeded him, the number of pilgrims going up the mountain has been decreasing.

It was not until later that only the elderly people in the nearby villages remembered that there was a Taoist temple on this hill.

In addition, several earthquakes occurred in the meantime, and Xianyou Mountain, which was originally made entirely of stone, suffered even more damage. The stone steps carved by Taoist priests of past dynasties were mostly destroyed.

After more than ten years of wind and sun, it was directly restored to the factory settings.

Later, Li Qingfeng, who was overwhelmed by the second-year syndrome and wanted to cultivate immortality, came to a nearby village, asked around and finally went up the mountain.

From then on, there were only two people living on the mountain.

Needless to say, Wuwei Zi spent all his time cultivating immortality and refining elixirs, and didn't care about worldly affairs. Later, after being replaced by Lu Gu, he was almost the same and basically never went down the mountain.

They rely on spring water and a small vegetable patch they cultivate for food and drink.

Later, the disciple Li Qingfeng regarded the horrible road conditions as a test of his training. The young man was in good health and walked more vigorously.

As the third person to come to this mountain alive, he proved with his actions how unsuitable this mountain is for human habitation.

Another hour had passed by then.

Tang Guodong felt like he was going to die, and images of his wife and children began to appear in front of his eyes.

He saw his daughter May, stretching out her hand towards him, as if to say, "Dad, come and stay with me."

"Okay, okay, Dad will be right here."

Tang Guodong had a peaceful smile on his face and stretched out his hand as if to hold his daughter's hand.

But the next moment a strong hand held him, and the unfamiliar touch brought him back to his senses.

The image of his daughter disappeared, and a handsome young man wearing a green Taoist robe and carrying a wooden box appeared in front of him.

And his outstretched right hand was being held by it.

"You are a Taoist priest?"

Li Qingfeng on the opposite side raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"Yes, I am a Taoist priest. Who are you? How did you get here?"

After saying that, he looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

"Also, you're not allowed to sleep here!"

Tang Guodong, who was lying on the ground, almost fainted after hearing this.

It took several deep breaths to catch my breath.

He said hurriedly with difficulty.

"I am the person that the Taoist priest in white saved yesterday. I came here to visit him and thank him for saving my life."
