From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 394: Mortals also have magical powers

There are many places where Wang Xin, Yan Fu and Yang Xinwu have appeared. Li Yang has already visited them roughly, but there are no clues. This time the destination is the last place where the Suzhou Taoist Temple said the three people appeared, Fern Creek Village.

He didn't know the way, so he tried to hitchhike with the Blue Bird Tour Group.

During the conversation, Li Yang gained a deeper understanding of the group.
This is a special civilian public welfare rescue team active in the disaster area. It has been providing support in the Suzhou Huanghuai disaster area for several weeks. It is very large and has branches in many towns, provinces and cities across the country.

The reason why this "Blue Bird Rescue Team" is special is that it is a rescue team composed of a group of standard rich second-generations.

Li Yang doubted the motives of the Blue Bird Rescue Team at the beginning. This rescue team was too positive, too positive to be true. It was purely for charity and they didn't charge any fees for saving lives and didn't offer any salary. They were just a group of rich second-generations working hard for love.

Although Lu Junfu looked big and strong, he was actually a very gentle person. The more he talked to Li Yang about their rescue team's past missions, the more excited he became. In the meantime, Deng Xinping, who was opposite him, tried to talk to him several times but was ignored.

Li Yang sighed inwardly, this group of guys in the car were really the 'good family kids' of ancient times, or the legendary Madonna, who were rich and free, did not visit prostitutes or gamble, had no interest in good women or making money, and their main focus was on spiritual pursuits.

All the equipment in the car was bought by this group of rich second-generations themselves. Lu Junfu became more and more excited as he spoke, and even showed Li Yang a few videos.

The video is full of thanks from the rescued disaster areas and the Bluebird Rescue Team.

Li Yang read them patiently one by one and was also deeply touched.
Most ordinary people would be so grateful and kowtow if they were rescued after a close call with death.

The group of rich second-generations in the car seem to enjoy this and are seriously addicted to it.

When it comes to saving people, no one is better than Li Yang, so the two of them were chatting happily, but Deng Xinping was a little unhappy.

Strictly speaking, she is not a second-generation rich person, and her motivation for joining the Blue Bird Rescue Team is not that pure. She is Lu Junfu's college classmate, and she joined the team in order to have more common topics with Lu Junfu.

When he heard the two talking about the Bluebird Rescue Team's frequent missions, he curled his lips and said, "What do you mean the more capable the more work? We are not the capable people of this era. If we want those capable people to do the work, why should we work so hard?"

Lu Junfu frowned immediately: "Xinping, are you talking about the Taoist priests in those Taoist temples?"

Deng Xinping realized that something was wrong as soon as she said this, but now she was in a dilemma and had to bite the bullet: "If it's not them, then who else could it be? They are so well-promoted, but where are they when we really need them? They just act so high and mighty on TV!"

This complaint immediately resonated with other supporters in the car, and for a moment the car was extremely noisy.

"It's true. I have a cousin at home. He used to be around me and called me brother all the time. In July, he took the college entrance examination and joined a Taoist temple, the worst of the lower twelve temples. Now he looks down on me when he comes home."

"Be careful with your words and actions. This era is different. In the past, you guys relied on your family to do whatever you wanted. But now, it's the Taoist master's world. If the Taoist temple finds out, they might cause trouble for you."

"Are they afraid of what people say? I get angry when they mention it! Although we are ordinary people, according to their words, we have at least done good deeds, right?
……

I heard people in the car talking about how the Taoist temple was not good in this or that way.

Lu Junfu frowned and spoke less. After a long while, he finally couldn't help but said, "They have their own things to do, and it's just the first year of enrollment, so there are not enough people..."

"Look at what you said, Brother Lu. You must have never been bullied by the Taoist temple. Look at the news. A month ago, a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple broke a man's legs and was acquitted. The real person was not punished. Nowadays, people look at us like ants." The man with glasses next to him curled his lips.

Deng Xinping was quite nervous at first, but when she saw that her remarks had aroused so much resonance, she immediately felt relieved and spoke again:

"Brother Lu, you are too upright. Not all of them are members of our Bluebird Rescue Team. In the past, these Taoists stayed in the mountains to cheat people out of money and earn ticket sales. Now, they are in a good position and are high up, calling themselves immortals. Do they still care about the lives of ordinary people like us?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Li Yang found that Lu Junfu's face was a little stiff. He sighed, squinted his eyes, and stopped talking.

Li Yang did not say anything either. As the boss of the largest and most powerful Taoist temple, he listened with great interest to these people's complaints about the Taoist temple.

New things in any era have their pros and cons, and strictly speaking, the Taoist temple and the people in the car are actually opposites.

These people's families used to be at the top of the society, but now their family's class status is being replaced by the Taoist temple. In this era, they are no longer considered chaebols just because they are rich and powerful.

Li Yang also knew that some of the problems they mentioned did exist in many Taoist temples. Even some disciples of Baiyun Taoist Temple were now a little arrogant and didn't take ordinary people seriously. They were still complaining enthusiastically. Lu Junfu knew that he couldn't win the argument. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't hold it in any longer and whispered to Li Yang to defend himself.

"The so-called Taoist priest who injured someone for no reason and was released is fake. The photos that were circulated were a case of mistaken identity. The authorities have clarified that it was a few years ago when the spiritual energy had not yet revived and a Taoist priest bravely beat up a sneak photographer. He was also convicted of excessive self-defense..."

Li Yang knows this from his daily surfing of the Internet. Many people in the car also say this and believe what they hear. Now the rhythm in the car is being led by everyone, and with so many people talking at once, people will distort the facts in order to make others believe their own opinions.

Don't try to argue with a group of adults. What they care about is not the facts, but winning or losing.

Li Yang understood the truth, and so did Lu Junfu, so the two of them did not argue, but chatted quietly.

There were people in the car who objected, but after two arguments, they were suppressed by Deng Xinping and a few others who were shouting the loudest, with an attitude of "You don't understand, you are not worldly-wise, I understand, I understand very well, I'm doing this for your own good."

"I know about this." Li Yang nodded, and then asked: "I see that you have a good impression of the Taoist temple. Is there any story behind it?"

Lu Junfu scratched his head. "It's not really a story. My family likes Taoism very much. I heard that he is the descendant of some great man. Although nothing was passed down... But I know more than others through osmosis."

Li Yang thought for a long time, and an idea came to his mind: "Lu family? I can't think of any great Taoist figures."

"Oh, who knows? Maybe those old guys are just trying to flatter themselves."

Lu Junfu was quite open-minded. Li Yang also smiled when he heard this: "Since you like the Taoist temple so much, why don't you try to take the adult college entrance examination and try to get into the Taoist temple?"

Lu Junfu's face suddenly straightened: "I'm not saying this because I like him, but I'm stating the facts impartially without taking sides... Besides, cultivating immortality in the mountains doesn't make me happier than saving people. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable."

Hearing Lu Junfu's words, Li Yang was stunned for a moment.
What is candied fruit to others may be poison to me. Not everyone pursues longevity as the highest goal.

Thinking of this, Li Yang looked at Lu Junfu dimly: "You are very unusual."

"It's not that a cultivator is extraordinary!" Lu Junfu laughed loudly, looking at the scene outside the car window.

Outside the car window was a desolate and bleak mountain landscape, with countless broken trees and boulders carried down by mountain torrents scattered everywhere. In several refugee gathering areas, ordinary people wearing supporters' clothes and armed police soldiers were maintaining order.

Most of them are ordinary people, most of them are not immortals or rich second-generations, they are thin and covered in dirt and mud.
They carried huge rocks, led children, and got soaked. They sent refugees out little by little and brought in supplies.

Although the mountains are cold and human power is so insignificant in the face of natural disasters, there are few cries of despair in the refugee areas.

Lu Junfu pointed at those places through the car window, his face glowing with a strange light: "Before the Taoist temple appeared, we also survived like this. We survived the Tangshan earthquake, the SARS epidemic, and countless natural and man-made disasters... It is true that their Taoist temple may have magical powers, but we mortals also have our own magical powers!"

Li Yang was silent for a long time, then nodded heavily: "I'm grateful for your advice."

The mountain road was long and the bus was noisy. The two talked about everything for a long time.
After a while, Li Yang, who was chatting, suddenly straightened his clothes, stood up from the bus, looked at the rocks outside the window and whispered:

"It's almost time."

Seeing Li Yang suddenly stand up, the others in the car immediately cast doubtful glances at him, and Lu Junfu was also full of doubts:
"Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Li Yang smiled faintly and looked down at Lu Junfu: "Do you remember what I told you?"

"Today is a good day!"

Just when Lu Junfu was puzzled, Li Yang suddenly rushed to the front. Everyone just saw this weird guy running to the driver, unbuckled the driver's seat belt, and in the driver's astonished eyes, he pulled it out like a chicken, threw it into the aisle, and then forced the bus to brake.

"boom!"

Many people in the car fell forward and backward.
