Divine Tribulation

Chapter 16

When Qing Yu saw Bi Yu sitting across from me, she furrowed her brows. She looked like she wanted to say something, but she held it back. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the bench. Then, she moved her noble butt and sat down.

Bi Yu and I looked at her as if we were looking at a western scenery.

I knew that she was fastidious, but I didn't expect that after she became a concubine, her fastidiousness became pretentious …

The air was quiet again.

"Sapphire, accompany me for a walk."

I drank a cup of tea quietly and looked at the roast duck leg on the table. Bi Yu looked at me disapprovingly.

Okay, the roast duck leg was too greasy. It was not good for the body … I gave in.

In this case, "Bi Yu, Sapphire, accompany me for a walk."

I spoke decisively to break the strange atmosphere.

Sapphire's face twisted again. I didn't know what she was thinking, but she looked like a fox who didn't steal the chicken.

I was amused by my own thoughts. When Bi Yu tied the belt of my cloak for me, the corners of my mouth were curved. Bi Yu looked at me with confusion.

The snow stopped.

Bi Yu put away the umbrella and followed us a few steps behind.

Qingyu was half a step behind me. We walked slowly along the street. In the distance, I saw a white banner for fortune-telling beside Dongting Lake.

Sapphire suddenly said, "Xiuxiu, why don't you let go of my husband?"

I looked at her strangely. "You know the agreement between him and me. Why don't you say that he won't let go of me?

Also, don't call me 'Xiuxiu.' It's a disgusting name. "

Sapphire suddenly showed a sad smile. "You think it's a disgusting name?

Do you know that everything that you don't want is something that I've been longing for even in my dreams?

You are always so unsatisfied!

I really hate how heartless you are! "

"So that's how you see me."

I was very calm. "Then, you can continue to hate me. Even if I die, what you want will still be mine. Why don't you burn incense and pray for a good reincarnation in your next life?"

As soon as I said that, Sapphire couldn't hold back her smile anymore. She looked like she wanted to tear me apart.

To be honest, after reading so many stories about ridiculing people, I had long wanted to give it a try. Looking at her disbelieving face, I sighed in my heart. It was indeed as satisfying as the stories.

However, Sapphire actually didn't cry and return to Yueyang Tower to find Li Zhe to seek justice for her …

I didn't expect that, although I didn't care.

The white banner came closer and closer. My sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the old Daoist sitting under the white banner. His beard was unkempt, and his clothes were ragged. He sat cross-legged on the snow with his head lowered. He seemed to be taking a nap, and there was an old wine gourd next to his hand.

This disguise …

Could it be that I've met an otherworldly expert?

I suppressed the excitement in my heart and stopped in front of him. Staring at his wine gourd, I couldn't stop guessing.

Could it be that this was the kind of immortal gourd that only needed to be filled once to continuously produce wine?

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. This old Daoist's gourd is just an ordinary gourd. This old Daoist is just a mortal," an old voice said.

My ears were a little hot. I had actually said what was in my heart.

The old Daoist's hair was messy, and his face was dirty. Only his eyes shone brilliantly under his messy hair.

I carefully looked at him and smiled at him proudly. Imitating his tone, I said, "You may be a mortal, but you're definitely not an ordinary mortal.

On such a cold day, your clothes are thin, but your face is rosy. You're barefoot, but your feet don't have any frostbite scars. Moreover … "

My eyes drifted to his wine gourd. "Your gourd isn't tightly closed. I can smell it. It's the Luofu Spring that the capital's Spring Restaurant only sells seven jars a year to the Hairpin Aristocratic Family!"

"Little girl, you're quite observant. However, this old Daoist isn't a good person. Since you've seen through this old Daoist, I can't let you off." The old Daoist's expression suddenly turned malicious.

Huh?

Shouldn't you be taking in disciples?

Giving them treasures?

Meow meow meow?

I didn't know when the white fog had filled the surroundings. Before I knew it, it had already surrounded the old Daoist and me. Bi Yu and Sapphire were nowhere to be seen. No wonder I hadn't heard them talk earlier.

A thick fog that was so thick that it almost materialized clawed at my face. I wanted to squat down.

However, I didn't expect Bi Yu to put on too many clothes for me to squat down.

Surrounded by the white fog, I maintained a ridiculous posture. I closed my eyes and stood there with a hopeless expression, waiting for death.

If I could go back, I would definitely burn those books about the otherworldly expert!

"Hahaha!" The old Daoist suddenly laughed. "Little girl, your expression is so funny!

Just kidding! Just kidding! "

I opened my eyes quietly and saw the old Daoist priest laughing so hard that he was rocking back and forth. The white fog around him had retreated far away. Although I still couldn't see Jasper and Qing Yu, I could feel that they were very safe.

On the other hand, I …

The books had misled me!

What expert …

However, I didn't panic when encountering such a supernatural event. It was as if I had seen it thousands of times.

The old Daoist was impressed by my calmness. He stopped laughing and suddenly came in front of me. He smiled and asked, "Little girl, do you want to have your fortune read?"

Like magic, a stool and a table appeared out of thin air. There was also a pen and a stack of rice paper on the table.

He asked me to write a word on the paper.

I thought for a while and wrote the word 'Jin'.

I thought the old Daoist wanted to read my fortune, but he glanced at the rice paper and said, "It's useless." Then, he asked me to show him the lines on my palm. I extended my right hand to show him.

He glanced at it and frowned. Then, he looked at my face with a puzzled expression. "That's not right!"

The old Daoist walked back and forth a few times. Suddenly, he asked me with a solemn expression, "Little girl, tell me honestly. Did someone change your fate?

Or did they give you something? "

I thought for a while and asked, "When I was eleven years old, I went to the Lingyin Temple to offer incense. The temple's master said that I was blessed with great fortune and that I was destined to die young. He asked me to donate five years of incense money. Does that count?"

"…"

I saw the corners of the old Daoist's mouth twitch. He rolled his eyes a few times.

He muttered a few words. I vaguely heard 'old bald donkey' and 'quick money.' They weren't very friendly.

The old Daoist suddenly extended his hand to me. "Pay the money first. I'll tell you your fortune."

Fortunately, I had brought my money pouch. I thought for a while and handed him the entire pouch.

It was probably the Daoist's Heaven and Earth in one's sleeve. I watched him throw the pouch into his sleeve, but it was still empty.

"Little girl, since you went to the Lingyin Temple to offer incense, you must have heard of the Seven Distresses of Buddhism." He took a sip of wine. The fragrance of Luofu Chun lingered in the air, just like his voice.

"You were supposed to die in the first distress, life.

I don't know why, but you survived. However, your original fortune and destiny changed. Now, your destiny is very precious. I can't see it clearly.

However, your destiny is competing with heaven and earth. You can't go up and down. Therefore, it's easy to offend petty people. Peach blossoms have many blades, and you're often sick and your lifespan is shortened.

In Buddhist terms, it's' birth, old age, illness, death, resentment, separation, and unattainable desire '. "
