Wu Tian said, "What else can we do? Of course, we have to go find the person right now."
"As long as the needle is removed from the effigy, your mother will get better immediately."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian quickly said to Zhou Huaxu, "What are we waiting for, Dad? Do you know where their house is?"
"Let's go now!"
Zhou Huaxu knew the location, so he immediately nodded and said, "I know. Follow me, we'll leave now!"
The three of them went straight out and then ran into a residential area, finding their target.
The woman was named Liu Guixiang, in her fifties.
She had divorced her husband many years ago, so she had been living alone ever since.
Wu Tian knocked on her door. When she opened it and saw Wu Tian, whom she didn't recognize, she asked, "Who are you? Is there something you need?"
Without a word, Wu Tian pushed the door open.
Liu Guixiang was startled and retreated backward, almost falling to the ground.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"Help! Someone's robbing me!" she shouted.
"Shut up!" Wu Tian gave Liu Guixiang no pleasantries. "Take a good look and see who's here!"
Zhou Huaxu stepped forward, his face filled with anger, and said, "Liu Guixiang, you bastard! You've harmed my wife like this, and you're still not stopping now!"
When Liu Guixiang saw Zhou Huaxu, her face immediately stiffened.
She stammered, "You, aren't you Li Lanfang's husband? Why are you looking for me?"
"What's wrong? Your wife has a grudge with me, and now you're coming to my door to cause trouble?"
Zhou Huaxu was very angry now, so he roared, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"I already know, my wife was harmed by you!"
"You'd better stop now, or I swear I won't let you off!"
Liu Guixiang's heart sank. She thought, this isn't right, how could the Zhou family know what she had done?
However, she would never admit to such a thing. So, she put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying at all!"
"What happened to your wife has nothing to do with me!"
"Have I seen her since? I warn you, don't cause trouble here, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"You!" Zhou Huaxu was about to explode with anger.
But just as he was about to speak, Wu Tian raised his hand and stopped him, saying, "Let me handle this."
After speaking, Wu Tian walked up to Liu Guixiang and said sternly, "Liu Guixiang, I don't want to waste words with you."
"I'm telling you, I already know what you've done."
"You had your brother make an effigy of Li Lanfang, causing Li Lanfang to fall into a coma. Do you know what kind of behavior this is?"
"You'd better have your brother stop, or you know the consequences."
Liu Guixiang's face stiffened even more when she heard Wu Tian say this.
She thought, no way, they could even know about the effigy thing?
This is crazy, how could something like this happen?
But even so, she insisted, "Are you sick? Talking about effigies, how can such things exist in the world?"
"If you're going crazy, don't come to my house, okay?"
"I'll send you to a mental hospital, and you'll never get out!"
Wu Tian stared at her and said, "Are you going to talk or not?"
"Let me give you another piece of information. Do you think making an effigy has no effect on a person?"
"You're wrong. If you don't tell me your brother's location, then after midnight, Li Lanfang will truly die."
"I guess you don't want to kill anyone, right? If Li Lanfang dies, do you think you can really escape responsibility?"
Liu Guixiang immediately became scared.
She had indeed not intended to kill anyone, but she was just angry, so she had her brother teach Li Lanfang a lesson.
But if Li Lanfang really died, she couldn't bear that responsibility!
However, after thinking about it, she felt that admitting it like this was also not good. What if Wu Tian was lying to her? Wouldn't she be confessing by herself?
She thought about it and decided it was better not to admit it.
So she insisted, "I still don't know what you're talking about. I'm telling you, get out of my house now!"
"I have a bad temper. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You have a bad temper?" Wu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly.
He suddenly reached out, and a stream of spiritual energy shot out, immediately smashing a vase!
"Sorry, I have a bad temper too."
Wu Tian said in a deep voice, "If you don't want your head to end up like that, answer my question!"
"I'll give you three seconds. Three... two..."
Liu Guixiang was truly terrified by Wu Tian's actions.
Seeing Wu Tian actually start counting down, she finally couldn't bear the pressure.
Just as Wu Tian was about to say "one," she suddenly shouted, "Wait! Wait!"
Wu Tian stopped the number that was about to come out and looked at Liu Guixiang, saying in a low voice, "Speak! Where is your brother!"
Liu Guixiang was almost scared to death.
She trembled and said, "My brother... my brother is in a dilapidated temple outside the suburbs."
"A dilapidated temple outside the suburbs?" Wu Tian frowned and looked at Zhou Qian. "Do you know where it is?"
Zhou Qian shook her head, indicating she didn't know, and then looked at Zhou Huaxu.
Zhou Huaxu said, "A dilapidated temple outside the suburbs, is it? I do know where it is."
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Alright, Uncle, then tell me the exact location. I'll go alone."
"You're going alone?" Hearing this, Zhou Huaxu was stunned.
Then, he said worriedly, "Is that okay? They're not ordinary people, you know. Isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, just a Taoist priest. I don't take him seriously."
"If you follow me, it might actually be a hindrance."
Seeing that Wu Tian had said so much, Zhou Huaxu didn't say anything more and quickly told Wu Tian the location.
After that, Wu Tian didn't bother with Liu Guixiang anymore and drove to the suburbs alone.
It was already dusk, and the sky was dim. The mountain forest in the suburbs looked very gloomy.
Wu Tian parked his car by the roadside and walked up the mountain path.
As expected, hidden by the forest, he saw the so-called dilapidated temple.
But at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, thick clouds obscured the setting sun, and the sky suddenly darkened.
