The Wang Family father and son nodded and laughed heartily,
"It is indeed the young Taoist's horse!"
As it turned out, on the day Gu Shi Yi was attacked, he had let the old horse run away. That old horse, knowing what was good for it, didn't run off into the wilderness but instead ran straight back to the town, right up to the Wang Family's door where it had stayed for a few days. Seeing that it was the young Taoist's horse, the eldest son of the Wang Family opened the door and was quite alarmed,
"At the time, we thought you had encountered some danger outside the town. Seeing only the horse return without its rider, my son hastily called a few friends to head out of town to search for you, but after searching for a whole day, we found no trace of you. We all feared that the young Taoist had met with mishap and were very worried!"
When Old Man Wang said this, Gu Shi Yi was deeply touched and praised loudly, Amitabha Buddha,
