Li Wenshu looked at Wu Sanlang who ran back panting, his eyes seemed full of surprise and confusion.

"Good fortune and longevity come in such a hurry. Could it be that the Taoist talisman is not effective?"

After saying that, the Taoist suddenly stretched out his hand. Before Wu Sanlang could see clearly what he was doing, he felt that his arms were empty, and the talisman hidden close to his body had returned to Li Wenshu's hands at some point.

"The aura is still alive, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it. But do you want me to go home with Shan Fushou and personally perform the soul-returning technique?"

Li Wenshu's attitude was very enthusiastic.

"No, don't bother the Taoist priest, I, I..."

Takesaburo hesitated and took a long time to express what he meant.

"Thank you Taoist Master for your kindness, but I suddenly don't want this talisman that increases longevity!"

Takesaburo slumped down in a daze, as if just saying these words had exhausted all his strength.

"Really not?"

Li Wenshu sneered as if he was getting to know Wu Sanlang again.

"Pindao thought you were a sincere and filial son, but unexpectedly you turned out to be a hypocritical villain. Your old mother only had a good life for ten years. I saw that you were kind and filial, so I gave her twenty years of life.

"

"But what I didn't expect was that her only son, who she had worked so hard to bring up, didn't want her to live."

Having said that, he decided to tear off the Yang Shou Talisman.

However, Wu Sanlang had no intention of stopping him, and instead knelt heavily in front of Li Wenshu.

"The Taoist Master is merciful. It's just that on my way back, I happened to meet someone who was escorting Mrs. Sun Cai. Only then did I find out that the longevity gift that the Taoist Master gave to my mother originally belonged to that old godly woman."

Takesaburo couldn't stop crying.

"Isn't this bad? Mrs. Sun Cai has a right way to die. Brother Pindao told her that every penny earned was exchanged for her longevity. However, Mrs. Sun Cai was blinded by greed and could not listen to other people's dissuasion.

Isn’t it her own fault, or could it be someone else’s fault?”

Li Wenshu still had a cold face.

"Besides, Mrs. Sun Cai humiliated you in every possible way and even traded her life for your old mother who has raised you for sixteen years. You won't be able to settle this debt?"

"There's no reason to take back what I gave you. If you don't want it, I'll tear it up right now."

Immediately, the Taoist posed another difficult problem to Wu Sanlang.

Take it, take it! Anyway, if you don't take it, the Taoist will destroy it. At that time, the old godly woman will die, and your mother will die too. You might as well save your mother's life!

There seemed to be a voice in his mind, tempting Wu Sanlang, wanting him to reach out and take the talisman.

But, is this right?

Wu Sanlang suddenly raised his head and looked at the Taoist.

"I don't know whether Mrs. Sun Cai deserves to die, but my mother can't live by borrowing the life of that rotten person. Taoist priest, I beg you, please give me my life in exchange for my mother's life!"

"What if I don't want to?"

Li Wenshu did not directly respond to Wu Sanlang's plea.

"Please, Taoist Priest!"

"I beg you!"

Wu Sanlang knocked his head heavily and begged Li Wenshu one after another.

"Congratulations, senior brother, on your wonderful disciple!"

The swarthy man thought Li Wenwen would be angry, but he didn't expect that the Taoist suddenly smiled and congratulated his senior brother who was watching the show.

"Thank you, junior brother, for accompanying me in such a play."

Hongyunzi also smiled and said to Li Wenshu.

Wu Sanlang was dumbfounded for a moment and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the two men were selling.

"Sanlang, do you know that birth, old age, illness and death are common things in the human world. Even those of us who practice Taoism have a constant life span. Increasing or decreasing a person's Yang life span, even the true king of Dharma, will have to pay a huge price."

Seeing the confusion on Wu Sanlang's face, Hongyunzi patiently explained to him.

It turns out that the two paper figures that Wu Sanlang met on the road just now were made from the souls of Li Wenshu and Hong Yunzi, and even the ghost of Sun Cai was a cover-up trick used by Hong Yunzi.

Otherwise, if the inner-view Taoist priests could perform heaven-defying spells such as returning Yang and increasing longevity, wouldn't the emperors of this earthly world have been immortal for a long time?

"If your mother's foundation is not damaged, and Pindao knows a lot about Xinglin's medical skills, he may not be able to nurse your mother back to health. But just now, Pindao has made a prediction, and your mother's life is approaching, and there is no way to save her."

"Even if Pindao takes action, it's just to let her spend the rest of her days comfortably."

Li Wenshu shook his head.

With his medical skills, no matter how seriously injured he is, even if he has half a foot in the gate of hell, he is confident to bring the person back.

It's just that Takesaburo's mother was suffering from the disease when she was young. She had already run out of energy. Even with his care, she could only live a more comfortable life in the last period of time.

After Wu Sanlang heard this, he collapsed on the ground dejectedly.

"As the saying goes, how many days does my mother have left to live?"

After a while, the dark-skinned man suddenly raised his head and asked without giving up.

"Only half a year."

Li Wenshu counted on his fingers and answered truthfully.

"Half a year, half a year is enough. Since I can't cure my mother, making her live a happier life in the following days is the only thing I, a son, can do."

"I hope that the Taoist Master can do well and make my last journey more comfortable. Whatever the Taoist Master wants, let's just say it straight away. Even if the Taoist Master wants to sell it, I will definitely help him get it together."

I thought that Wu Sanlang would make a lot of noise, but I didn't expect that this person was so open-minded, which made Hong Yunzi appreciate him even more.

"It doesn't matter, your cart of buns is enough for medical expenses."

Li Wenshu smiled.

To outsiders like them, money is nothing more than an external possession. With their cultivation in the inner stage, they are guests of the lord of a country no matter where they go, so how can they be short of money?

"Too."

Takesaburo scratched his big head, then revealed a simple and honest smile.

"Sanlang, I want to accept you as my disciple, but I don't know what you want!"

Hong Yunzi suddenly spoke, coldly.

"Taoist Master, what did you say about me?"

Takesaburo pointed to his nose in surprise, seemingly in disbelief.

"Exactly, you have a good body and good conduct, and you are a good candidate for Taoism. I am the master of Xunfeng Temple in Dangkong Mountain thousands of miles away. Are you willing to be my disciple?"

Hongyunzi's big sleeves fluttered, and he looked like a man of immortality and true cultivation.

Seeing that Takesaburo was still a little hesitant, he immediately made a move with his big sleeves, and the sun and moon immediately changed color. The originally bustling street suddenly turned into a toad palace in the middle of the moon with the fragrance of osmanthus.

"how?"

The next moment, the two of them returned to Xuanping Mansion again, as if everything just now was just a dream.

Takesaburo subconsciously reached out and scratched his head, and suddenly he seemed to have caught something. When he put his hand down again, it turned out to be a piece of osmanthus petals.

It’s really amazing!

Hongyunzi also looked at Wusaburo with some complacency. Seeing his surprised look, she felt that she was almost certain.

"I disappoint the Taoist priest."

Unexpectedly, Wu Sanlang gave a bitter laugh, then raised his hands and bowed to Hongyunzi.
