A group of Wulin folks kidnapped the blacksmith’s son and daughter and forced him to forge something that could replace a “heart.” Unable to make such a thing, the blacksmith sought advice from a Daoist he knew, but even he had no answer. By dusk the next day, the Daoist returned travel-worn, with the blacksmith’s son and daughter at his side. He had rescued them. The blacksmith thanked him profusely and fled with his children that very night. As for the half-finished pieces he had been forced to make, he threw them all deep into the furnace.
