A monk in black and white Taoist robes sat in front of a simply furnished stall. Some passers-by saw the fortune teller for the second time.

He also set up a stall to tell fortunes on this arch bridge a few days ago, and was not taken away even after the police came to investigate his identity.

But why did this young fortune teller, with bandages on his eyes, go blind in just two days?

"Why did that fortune teller go blind out of nowhere?"

"Is there really something that cannot be said? Is there a secret that cannot be revealed?"

"That's not right. I saw him coming out of the inn this morning as well. His eyes were fine then."

......

......

This person is none other than Ye Lu, a disciple of Qingcheng Sect.

As for why he had a bandage on his eyes, it all started this morning.

Fatty Lai told Ye Lu that these days some fortune tellers would pretend to be blind and then tell people's fortunes. He had seen some such blind fortune tellers in other counties.

At first Ye Lu was a little skeptical. Why did the fortune teller have to be blind?

Then he asked the innkeeper and found out that it was indeed the blind fortune teller who had better business.

Since I can't understand, I might as well try to join them, Ye Lu thought, so he now has a bandage around his eyes and plans to join them.

He had been sitting here for two hours and was tired of hearing passers-by say: How did that fortune teller suddenly become blind?

He cursed Fatty Lai in his heart. What was the difference between this and him sitting here with normal eyes?

No business means no business.

Now he is pretending to be blind and cannot even read mortal novels. He is already thinking of closing the stall early.

Ye Lu received fifty taels of silver from this monster-catching commission. When he goes to take on commissions elsewhere, he will have some money for accommodation and food.

But there is a reason why he is still here. Baizhu County needs to be vigilant. This is the conclusion drawn by Li Yuntian, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, after knowing the whole story.

I don’t know if there are any demon cultivators or monsters with hidden identities in the city. Any negligence may bring unbearable consequences.

Baizhu County has lost its county magistrate and needs to wait and see how the officials of the Xingtian Division will make arrangements.

So Li Yuntian asked Ye Lu and Lai Pangzi to secretly protect Baizhu County and ensure that the county would not fall into chaos without anyone managing it.

Ye Lu was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, so she decided to close her stall and go back to settle the score with Fatty Lai.

Just when he was thinking about closing the stall, a girl sat opposite him. Although his eyes were tied now, as long as he concentrated and released his spiritual sense, he could still see things within a few meters.

When Ye Lu saw this girl, he almost stood up, because she also had white hair. He had seen a person with white hair two days ago.

He almost thought it was the outer sect elder of Sunset Sect, so he was a little panicked for a moment.

If there really was a senior like this sitting opposite him and asking him to tell his fortune, he would have several lives to tell!

The girl in front of me had a lock of pure white hair, and there was a hint of melancholy in her clear eyes. Her skin was as white as jade, but it exuded a pale aura, like a candle flame that was so weak that it could be extinguished at any time.

Ye Lu realized that this girl was not an elder of the Sunset Sect, so she calmed herself down.

He wondered, why are there so many girls with white hair recently? Where did you dye your hair?

"A fortune teller?" the woman asked softly.

Ye Lu coughed a few times, adjusted her sitting position, and replied, "I wonder what this guest is here for?"

"Master, I want to know how my sweetheart is doing now. He went to seek immortality more than ten years ago, and he hasn't sent any letters since he left."

This was not the first time the woman had consulted a fortune teller about her lover.

She knew clearly that many so-called fortune tellers were charlatans, but every time she saw someone setting up a stall claiming that he could tell fortunes, she would go and ask for advice with a glimmer of hope.

She heard that there was a fortune teller in Baizhu County whose identity was investigated by the government police but who had not been arrested. This made her determined to come here to find Ye Lu.

She didn’t see the fortune teller setting up a stall on this arch bridge yesterday, so she thought Ye Lu had left. She came back today hoping for the best, but she didn’t expect to see the fortune teller here.

There is only one fortune teller in Baizhu County now, and he is the one that others have described as a fortune teller wearing a black and white Taoist robe.

Ye Lu thought about it and concluded that he could still calculate whether an ordinary person was still alive, but he just couldn't calculate where the person was.

"If this guest has not become a monk yet, I can calculate whether he is safe or not, but if he has become a monk, I cannot calculate his situation."

Cultivators are different from mortals. With Ye Lu's current level of cultivation, he cannot calculate whether a cultivator is still alive. There are many limitations to heavenly calculations, and the biggest limitation is the realm.

"Give me his date of birth and some of the items he used to carry with him, and I'll help you calculate it."

When the woman heard this, she took out a piece of paper and a small bottle from her arms. The bottle contained a few strands of hair.

"Master, are these okay?" the woman asked.

Ye Lu nodded, he took the birth date and the small bottle, and took out the bronze compass from the storage ring.

The woman was amazed by his ability to take something out of thin air, and was shocked. The fortune teller in front of her was really different!

Ye Lu took a deep breath, took out a hair and put it into the compass. The compass gently rotated in his hand. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and remembered that his eyes were bandaged.

No wonder I saw nothing after I opened my eyes.

"I didn't predict anything for this guest, which means he has become a monk."

Ye Lu was already cursing for the girl in her heart, thinking that she had completely forgotten about others after becoming a monk, and she didn't even send a letter back.

The woman felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she heard this, but at the same time she was relieved, at least her lover had not met with any misfortune.

"Master, can you ask for a fortune here?"

"of course can."

Ye Lu took out a wooden barrel from the storage ring. Inside the barrel were dozens of wooden sticks. These sticks looked ordinary, as if they were something that could be seen anywhere.

In fact, this is a magic weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Qingcheng Sect. After he mastered the celestial calculations, his master entrusted these wooden sticks to him.

The woman gently put her hand into the barrel, closed her eyes and prayed silently.

I am still worried about good or bad fortune.

This was not the first time the woman had asked for divination. She had visited many fortune tellers before.

She took out a wooden stick and looked at the words on it. The wind and rain could not conceal her wandering, and the comings and goings of fate were difficult to deal with.

She recalled the scene when she sent her lover away.

Bamboo fence, wooden pipa, arch bridge under the moon.

He packed his bags, left home, and embarked on a journey to seek immortality.
