The old princess and the others were attracted by this scene and stopped to watch. After the woman left, the old princess had the idea to go forward and ask the old Taoist priest for advice.

Aunt Cui understood what was going on. She stepped forward and ordered the old Taoist priest, "Come here. My old lady has something to ask you."

The old princess stepped forward, her head held high. She glanced at the old Taoist priest and said, "Old Taoist priest, please help me calculate."

The old Taoist priest stroked his long beard, as if he hadn't heard anything, and prepared to walk to the foot of the mountain. Aunt Cui said angrily, "You stinky Taoist priest, how dare you not take my old lady seriously?"

The old Taoist priest stopped and laughed, "I don't make money from fortune-telling, and I don't tell fortunes to people who are not destined to be with me."

The old princess's face turned a little pale.

Aunt Cui walked towards the old Taoist priest with her head held high. "You stinky Taoist priest, it's a blessing for you to tell my old lady's fortune. Don't be so ungrateful. Today, I must teach you some lessons so that you know who to offend and who not to offend!"

She looked at the guards behind her with a fierce look, ready to ask them to capture the Taoist priest to vent her anger.

The old Taoist priest remained calm. He smiled and said, "Why? Are you going to attack me, a Taoist priest, at the Guanyin Temple? Madam, are you here to chant sutras and accumulate merit, expressing your gratitude to Guanyin for saving your son's life?"

The old princess was stunned for a moment and was a little surprised.

Aunt Cui also looked a little panicked. She didn't expect that this Taoist priest was so capable.

The old princess raised her hand and said, "Aunt Cui, let him go. Chanting scriptures at the Guanyin Temple today is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds." She turned her eyes to the old Taoist priest and said with some awe, "Master Taoist, please don't be offended by what happened today."

The old Taoist looked at Aunt Cui, frowned, and said, "I have something to remind you."

Aunt Cui suddenly felt her whole body shiver, and felt that the old Taoist priest must have nothing good to say, but she couldn't help but want to listen, so she looked at the old Taoist priest with a puzzled look.

The old Taoist priest continued stroking his gray beard, his expression solemn as he said, "We need to be careful today. We may cause bloodshed and bring disaster to others."

Aunt Cui curled her lips and greeted him unhappily, "Old Taoist priest, although I have offended you just now, you shouldn't be so rude as to curse me, right?"

The old Taoist priest chuckled. "I'm giving you this kind advice, but since you won't listen, you're a bit of a jerk! Your old lady is more understanding. We do have some connection, but it's still shallow. If you really encounter something you can't resolve, please have one of you personally receive the first clump of incense ash from the Guanyin Temple and bring it to me. If you're lucky enough to come down the mountain and find me, I'll be happy to resolve some of it."

The old princess and Aunt Cui were horrified by what they heard, but they were still a little skeptical.

The old Taoist priest shook his sleeves and walked down the mountain.

After the old Taoist priest left, Aunt Cui glared at him as he left, sarcastically saying, "Old Princess, don't listen to that stinky Taoist priest's nonsense. What kind of bloody disaster could I possibly face? We have so many palace guards with us, what could possibly happen? That old Taoist priest must be deliberately trying to annoy me. If he really has the ability, why didn't he calculate it for you right away? Why are you waiting for fate? It sounds ridiculous."

The old princess felt that Aunt Cui's words made sense and nodded. She thought that Aunt Cui was just a half-baked person who could fool people without any real talent or knowledge.

When Aunt Cui saw the change on the old princess's face, she knew that the old princess had listened to her, and she was secretly delighted. Thinking about what the stinky Taoist priest had just said, she still felt a little angry and really regretted not beating the Taoist priest just now.

They continued walking towards the Guanyin Temple.

The three people hiding in the Guanyin Temple were staring intently at the stairs.

As the footsteps got closer, the three of them became more alert. When the old princess was supported by Aunt Cui and went up the last step, Helan Xuenuo raised and pressed one hand, giving orders to Mu Kong behind her.

Mu Kong understood, and the stone in his hand flew out, hitting Aunt Cui's knee. Aunt Cui fell forward, slid down a step, and hit her head on the step. She raised her hand to touch her head. Because of the severe impact, her head was broken and bleeding.

The old princess was not in a better situation either. Originally, Aunt Cui was supporting her, but after she fell, she almost fell down with her. She steadied herself, but her knee hurt and was hit by Mu Kong on the knee, causing her to fall down.

Aunt Cui was frightened and was taken advantage of by the old princess.

The guards immediately surrounded them and helped the old princess up. Aunt Cui, who was pressed under her, had a broken head. After being pressed by the old princess, her head was broken again and blood flowed down her forehead.

She was helped up by two guards. She touched her head and saw that her hands were covered in blood. She became frightened and remembered what the old Taoist priest said: "How could such a bloody disaster come so soon?"

The old princess felt humiliated and, thinking of what the Taoist priest had said, she was horrified and complained, "Aunt Cui, you shouldn't have disrespected that old Taoist priest. Now he has brought about a bloody disaster and implicated me."

Among the three people hiding in the woods, two of them were laughing with schadenfreude. Helan Xuenuo breathed a sigh of relief and was watching all this silently.

After the guards retreated behind him, Helan Xuenuo gestured to Mu Kong again.

This time, Mu Kong hit Aunt Cui's two knees with hidden weapons in succession, and Aunt Cui fell to the ground.

The old princess raised her hand to signal her to get up, "Aunt Cui, this is not your fault, get up."

Aunt Cui was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and dared not move. She cried, "Old Princess, please save me. There is a ghost. I don't know why I knelt down. It was not my will."

The old princess was so frightened that her eyes turned pale. She swallowed her saliva and stared wide-eyed.

At this moment, her knees also felt pain and she knelt down.

The guards behind were afraid to say anything when they saw this scene, and the leading guards stepped forward to help the two of them up.

The old princess hurriedly urged a guard, "Quick, go find that old Taoist priest."

Aunt Cui's eyes widened, and she ignored the blood flowing from her head. It looked a little scary. She reminded, "Old Princess, the old Taoist priest just said that if you want to find him, you need to use the first bunch of incense ash after lighting the incense and bring it to him personally."

The old princess ignored Aunt Cui's bloody and horrified appearance and nodded hurriedly, "Yes... Yes..."

The two of them hurried into the temple, but Aunt Cui was stopped at the door by the abbot of the Guanyin Temple. "This donor should clean up before entering the temple. There is too much blood."

Aunt Cui now realized that something was wrong. The old princess glared at her, thinking that all the bad things were caused by Aunt Cui. She said impatiently, "Hurry up and clean it up. It's unlucky."

Aunt Cui lost her arrogance and felt guilty. She walked out with weak steps and took the white gauze handed to her by the monk in the temple. She wiped it and bandaged it simply. After bandaging it, she waited for the old princess to burn incense and come out. She was very anxious, fearing that something strange would happen again.
