I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said impatiently, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm sleepy."

He no longer had any feelings for his first wife.

If he hadn't seen her stick with him when he was down and out, he would have divorced this hag long ago.

Besides, I don’t know what’s wrong with her recently. She locks herself in the house all day long without seeing the sun.

"It's about Madam Six giving birth to a child."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao sobered up a little.

He stared at the eldest lady with a threatening tone.

"If you dare to touch that child, don't blame me for not respecting the love we have had as husband and wife for decades!"

Since the two got married, the eldest lady gave birth to five daughters but not a single son.

It’s no wonder that Mr. Zhao was so excited when he heard her words. After all, he was an old man who had a son, so he naturally loved him very much.

In response to this, the eldest lady just sighed and said, "Master, you have misunderstood. I am so happy that the Sixth Lady has added a child to the Zhao family, how could I possibly persecute her?"

The fierceness on Mr. Zhao's face faded a little when he heard this.

As long as she has no intention of targeting his child, there's no harm in listening to her.

"This child was born in accordance with God's will. He will definitely be a pillar of society in the future. No matter how brave I am, I would not dare to set my sights on him."

Mr. Zhao nodded and took over the conversation and said, "Yes, I went to the temple a few days ago to pray to the Taoist master, and it came true today. Maybe it's really as you said, in accordance with God's will."

When he said this, Mr. Zhao showed an unconcealable joy on his face.

If this is true, then his Zhao family will benefit greatly in the future if one person succeeds.

"Master, the one I was talking about who complies with the will of heaven is not that Taoist, but someone else."

Mr. Zhao was stunned when he heard this.

Shouldn't the almighty Taoist master have heard his prayers and enlightened a boy to be reborn into his Zhao family?

Seeing her master looking confused, the eldest lady continued.

"Master, did the child born by the Sixth Madam have a birthmark on the ankle?"

Mr. Zhao drank a lot of wine tonight and it took him a while to remember.

"Yes, there is indeed a birthmark on the ankle. How did you know about it?"

After giving birth to a boy, the Sixth Lady has been recuperating.

And no one had seen the child except herself, the midwife and several maids who delivered the child. How did the eldest lady know about the birthmark?

The eldest lady did not answer Mr. Zhao's question, but continued to ask more.

"Is the birthmark in the shape of a bell? Are there bones protruding on both sides of the forehead? There are three black moles on the sole of the left foot, and four on the sole of the right foot?"

When Mr. Zhao heard these words, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Because what the eldest lady said was absolutely correct, the child did have these characteristics.

The midwife who delivered the baby also knew some physiognomy. After looking at the birthmarks and characteristics, she asserted that the child had the potential to be rich and powerful, and would achieve great things in the future.

At the most, he would be granted a title of nobility or become a general; according to novels, at the very least, he would serve as an official in the court.

Mr. Zhao's speech was already a little unclear at this time.

"How...how did you know this?"

He didn't tell anyone around him about these things in order to prevent someone from secretly harming him.

"That's right, it must be that midwife who let the secret slip. I'll chop her to pieces!"

Mr. Zhao suddenly thought of something and put the blame on the midwife.

The eldest lady shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with the midwife. All this was told to me by the gods in a dream."

immortal?

"Could it be that the Taoist priest sent you a dream?" Mr. Zhao blurted out.

In the land of Yuan Dynasty, the only one who can be called a god is the Taoist Master.

When Mr. Zhao thought of the Taoist's deeds that were worthy of being an immortal, an expression of piety involuntarily appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the eldest lady snorted coldly and said, "Master, we have all been deceived by that Taoist priest. He is not an immortal at all!"

Mr. Zhao was shocked when he heard this.

He stepped forward and covered his wife's mouth, then pushed open the door, stuck his head out to look around, and when he found that there was indeed no one there, he went back into the house.

"Do you know what the consequences are for slandering the Dao Master? Losing your head is the least of your worries. Do you want to kill us all?!"

The eldest lady turned a deaf ear to it.

Mr. Zhao immediately became furious and raised his hand as if to hit him.

But in the end he just sighed heavily and put his hand down.

"Let's not talk about the big things for now. Master, let me ask you, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Qingyun City. Who doesn't believe in the Taoist Master? But over the years, have you ever heard of the Taoist Master sending dreams to anyone?"

Seeing her master like this, the eldest lady struck while the iron was hot.

Mr. Zhao thought for a while and shook his head.

"What kind of person is the Dao Zun? There are at least 80,000 people who pray to him every day. How could he care about a poor place like ours?"

Master Zhao murmured as if to explain: "When I was desperate, wasn't it because of my sincere prayers to the Taoist that I gradually became rich and built the Zhao Mansion today?"

After hearing this, the eldest lady started sobbing for no apparent reason.

"Master, do you really think that the twenty taels of silver I found in the rice jar that year was a manifestation of the Taoist master? I sold the bracelet my mother gave me and hid it there secretly!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao shuddered and his lips moved continuously.

"Is this true?"

The lady wiped away her tears and nodded.

"Otherwise why haven't I worn that bracelet in these decades?"

At this moment, Mr. Zhao’s years of doubts were finally cleared up.

The lady treasured the bracelet very much and refused to sell it even when times were hard.

It was only then that he was really desperate, and she pawned the bracelet with tears in her eyes to help herself through the difficult times.

"So the story about the Taoist spirit appearing is completely nonsense. What I saw was a true immortal appearing in my dream."

Master Zhao recovered from what happened that year and asked, "Could it be that another immortal appeared in your dream and that's why you knew about the birthmark on the child?"

"No, the immortal told me this in my dream more than two months ago.

He ordered me not to go out for these two months and to stay at home quietly, saying that if I did so, my Sixth Lady in the Zhao Mansion would give birth to a boy in two months.

And he told me all the characteristics and birthmarks of the baby, otherwise how could I know so clearly. "

Mr. Zhao suddenly realized and kept repeating to himself, "So that's it."

The eldest lady locked herself in the room all day long because she received a dream from an immortal.

"Not only that, the Xu family in the south of the city, the Zeng family in the east of the city, and the eldest lady of the Wang family have all had immortals appear in their dreams. If you don't believe it, just go and ask."

So the next day, Mr. Zhao got up early and took his wife to visit those families one by one.

After learning that everything was exactly as his wife had said, Mr. Zhao was completely stunned.

Who is the immortal?
