Noble Lady

In his previous life, Xue Chenyu had also accidentally entered this Taoist temple.

At that time, she did not go to Lingnan, nor did her father accompany Prince Cheng to the northern border. She only heard that the snow disaster in the northern border froze many people to death.

At that time, the Marquis' Mansion had not been framed yet, and her parents were still alive. It was rare for her to go home. Luoluo insisted on going out, so she accompanied Luoluo out shopping.

I didn't expect to end up here.

Luoluo was the first one to run in. She chased Luoluo in and accidentally knocked over the stick box on the table, and three sticks fell out.

Then this little guy, who was not even as tall as the table, crawled out from under the table.

He looked at the lot on the table, then looked at her seriously, and said in a tone that was completely unbecoming of a child, "The mountains and rivers have run out, the taxes have dried up, and the water is trapped..."

He gasped as he spoke, then changed his words, "...The outer hexagram of this hexagram represents a marsh, and the inner hexagram represents water. There is no water in the marsh, so the fish and shrimp are trapped. This symbolizes the difficulty of extricating oneself from a difficult situation."

"Master said that those who get the Kun hexagram will have difficulty achieving anything and will be at a dead end." He muttered to himself, and suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, I'm afraid you're in trouble. You'd better be careful!"

She didn't take it seriously at the time. She just thought that this kid didn't know who he learned these tricks from. Before he could finish, she threw him a hundred coins and said, "Thank you for your kindness, little Taoist priest."

Then he took Luo Luo away.

What happened later was exactly as he said.

I am stuck in a difficult situation and cannot extricate myself, and I cannot get what I want.

However, when she remembered this divination and came over again, the abbot of the temple said that he had gone out with his master to travel and gain experience.

The reason why she didn't come here earlier in this life was because she was afraid that such a capable person would see through her at a glance, and she was also afraid that the cause and effect would be disrupted.

So I have been waiting, waiting until now.

"Hey, your fortune..." The voice of the little Taoist boy brought Xue Chenyu back to reality.

"How about my sign?"

The little Taoist boy looked at her repeatedly, then at her fortune, and then at Xue Luoyan's fortune. His watery eyes wandered back and forth between them, and his brows were almost wrinkled.

"Strange, so strange, why can't I understand it at all?" He muttered to himself, holding the fortune stick and muttering to himself without knowing what he was saying.

Xue Chenyu didn't hear clearly.

Then he suddenly said loudly: "How about I tell you a fortune?"

Xue Chenyu hesitated for a moment, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, little Taoist priest. May I know your name?"

In his previous life, when he was fortune-telling for her, he also said, "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is hidden by man."

It's not that there is no chance at all, there is still a glimmer of hope.

It just depends on whether you can grasp it.

She failed to grasp it in her previous life, but she will definitely not miss it this time.

"Song Qing, Zhang Song Qing." The little Taoist boy said proudly, "This is my real name. My family's surname is Zhang. I don't have a Taoist name yet. Master said it's not the right time. But don't worry, I'm very powerful."

"Yeah, I'm relieved."

Xue Luoyan: Sister is so weird today. This little kid looks even younger than me. Why does sister trust him so much?

But out of trust in her elder sister, she just watched silently from the side.

Zhang Songqing then spread out his copper coins and asked Xue Chenyu, "Excuse me, what do you want to ask, young lady?"

"Good or bad luck, ask about the good or bad luck of your family members, and the rise and fall of your family."

Zhang Songqing gasped, but his face grew more excited. "Others ask about their future and marriage, but this is the first time someone asks about their family's fortune and prosperity."

Xue Luoyan: Is this little kid reliable?

Her fists stiffened.

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the little kid's bright eyes fell on her.

"I know you must be wondering if I'm reliable. I also know that many people think I'm unreliable because I'm young, but you have to believe that I'm very capable."

Xue Chenyu agreed, "Well, I believe in the young Taoist priest."

Zhang Songqing: "...Just call me Taoist Priest, don't call me Little Taoist Priest."

The young Taoist priest is also a little vain.

"Okay, Master Zhang." Xue Chenyu changed his words readily.

Zhang Songqing nodded repeatedly with great joy.

But after his joy wore off, he grabbed three copper coins, shook them in his hand, blew on them, and then put them on the table.

The "clattering" sound of the things falling on the table was inexplicably pleasant.

There were three copper coins, two of which were facing up, and one was still standing and had not fallen down.

"What's going on?" Zhang Songqing was confused.

He saw the copper coin swaying and falling, and before he could take a closer look to see whether it was the front or the back, the coin was swept away by a big hand that suddenly stretched out.

"You little bastard, didn't I tell you not to tell fortunes for others casually?" A loud voice suddenly rang out, as loud as a bell.

Xue Chenyu felt a buzzing in her ears and almost had tinnitus.

When she recovered, she looked in the direction of the sound. A thin, middle-aged Taoist priest with a goatee was standing beside them angrily. He slowly withdrew the hand that had swept the copper coin.

Zhang Songqing, who had been full of confidence just now, also jumped up and said, "...Master, Master. Didn't you go out? Why are you back?"

"How dare you say that? If I hadn't forgotten to take something and had to come back, would I have seen you doing this?!"

The Taoist priest was obviously very angry. He pinched Zhang Songqing's ear and took him away.

"It hurts, it hurts, Master. I'm already big enough, please stop twisting my ears." Zhang Songqing didn't dare to resist and could only follow the strength of his master.

Twisting your ears really hurts.

"If you feel pain, you should learn your lesson. I've told you hundreds of times, but you still can't remember. You don't even have a Taoist name, and you're not even a formal disciple of my Taoist sect. How dare you tell fortunes for others casually?"

Xue Luoyan: "But didn't he just say that he was very powerful? He..." He is not even a formal disciple?

Xue Chenyu also looked at him in surprise, "Master Zhang isn't even a formal disciple yet?"

Zhang Songqing immediately wilted.

It's embarrassing to have something you've worked so hard to boast about exposed on the spot.

Afterwards, the middle-aged Taoist priest grabbed Zhang Songqing and apologized to Xue Chenyu and the others, "I'm sorry, everyone. I picked up this child. I saw that he had nowhere else to go, so I kept him in the Taoist temple as a gatekeeper."

"But I didn't expect that he would think he was the future Heavenly Master every day and even deceived you. I'm really sorry."

Xue Luoyan: "...Since he is not a formal disciple, then we can't let him come out and deceive people like this."

"Luoluo, please don't be rude." Xue Chenyu interrupted her. "Master Zhang, although he is still young, I think he has good intentions. I hope you won't blame him too much."

Zhang Songqing looked at him with stern gratitude, which made the middle-aged Taoist priest show an expression that was difficult to describe.

"Girl, you..."

"We are here to burn incense today. Could you please let us in to burn incense for the Three Pure Ones and the Patriarch?"

She was afraid that today's divination would not be successful, but she did not give up.

The middle-aged Taoist priest did not refuse their request to burn incense. He put Zhang Songqing down and asked him to lead Xue Chenyu and the others into the hall.

This was also a promise to Xue Chenyu that she would not make things difficult for him and would let him go.

Inside the palace.

The three incense sticks in Xue Chenyu's hand were lit, and clear smoke curled up straight up.

The middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but squint his eyes to hide the gleam that flashed in his eyes.

This girl is not simple.

After Xue Chenyu and his group burned incense and donated some merit, they came out and said goodbye to him and Zhang Songqing.

After they had walked a distance, the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly called her, "Miss."

"I wonder if the commander has any other instructions?" Xue Chenyu turned around in confusion.

"Good deeds, if not accumulated, will not bring fame; evil deeds, if not accumulated, will not bring destruction. If the girl can stick to her original intention, she may be able to turn bad luck into good fortune."

"Thank you, Taoist Master."
