I saw the kind-faced Taoist priest appeared in front of the main hall. He was tall and stood there like a god. Luo Xiangxue suddenly jumped in shock, feeling stunned and couldn't help but take two steps back.
After all, she was new to the world and had no experience in the world. The strange laughter coming from the door just now shocked her! I just tried to stay calm in my heart, not wanting the other party to see my panic! Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to become someone else's laughing stock?
The Taoist priest looked majestic, but he didn't look malicious. He actually smiled instead of getting angry, and looked at Luo Xiangxue with a smile, as if he were looking at a junior with whom he was already familiar.
Seeing him showing such an appearance, Luo Xiangxue couldn't help being shocked and confused, and she was even more surprised. It's just that the kind-hearted Taoist priest in front of him and the scary and strange laughter in the door just now are too abrupt, and they can't be connected in any way.
She thought to herself: "This man is so mysterious. Did that scary and weird voice just come from his mouth? But seeing the real person appearing in front of him, he was so kind and kind, but the voice didn't look like it at all. Coming from him? Is it really unbelievable? This Taoist temple is really weird everywhere!"
With this thought in his mind, the long sword stretched across his chest in a vigilant posture was no longer so stiff and gradually relaxed.
At this time, the Taoist priest spoke: "Young man, I see that you have a determined heart. Please tell me what your intentions are when you come here!"
Luo Xiangxue saw that his tone was gentle and approachable, and half of her worries had disappeared. She sheathed her sword, cupped her fists and saluted him, and said sternly: "Just now, the junior was eager to see me, and was reckless and rude. It is really a sin. I hope the senior will not do it." Blame it!" After saying that, he slightly lowered his eyebrows and nodded.
The long white eyebrows wrinkled, his eyes were smiling, he swept the dust in his hand, and said with an expression: "Young man, why are you eager to see the temple master?"
Luo Xiangxue blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at the Taoist Priest, and said seriously: "I have heard about the name of the temple master for a long time, so I came here to pay a special visit. I heard that the temple master can predict things like a god. I want to make a fortune, so I want to ask the temple master for advice! "
The Taoist priest suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes were like lightning, he raised his dust whisk, and said quietly: "Young man, you are not willing to break into this view and risk your life, is it just for divination?" He looked at it calmly. In front of me was Luo Xiangxue, dressed in white.
Luo Xiangxue smiled slightly and said thoughtfully: "That's it! I sincerely ask for the hexagram, and I hope that the senior can introduce the temple master on my behalf! I will be very grateful to you!"
At this time, Hua Bufan, who had been standing in the distance with sincerity and fear, saw that the sky was getting dark, and he couldn't help but feel even more uneasy, and secretly regretted following her. I have been delayed for a whole day when I came up the mountain. If I stayed any longer, my mother would definitely blame her. And I couldn't find that single herb. How should I explain it to my mother when I go back?
Luo Xiangxue looked back at Hua Bufan and said to herself: "It's already dark. It seems like I can't go back today. If Brother Hua doesn't mind, I'm afraid I can only stay at his house for one night! But I just met him for the first time." We know each other, so it would be too presumptuous to go to someone's house to stay overnight. Besides, now that he knows that I am a girl, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Thinking of this, I felt faintly annoyed in my heart. If I hadn't insisted on coming, I would have delayed that visit. Many times, you won't be in this situation.
The Taoist priest also looked at the sky. It was already dusk. The sky was no longer so clear and darkened.
He then told the two boys: "Go and prepare dinner!" The two men bowed to the old man and left.
The old man was about to speak when suddenly, two men and horses appeared from the mountain pass in the distance. The sound of hoofbeats could be heard, and soon they were approaching. The figures of the two people gradually became clear, but they were a man and a woman. The man is tall, powerful and upright, while the woman is watery, delicate and charming.
Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction they came from.
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan couldn't help being surprised when they saw the two of them: Aren't these two the same Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian who met by chance in the woods before? During the conversation in the forest just now, I heard them talking about Feixian Temple.
And he did not shy away from telling the whole story about his grievances with the Feixian Temple Master. Now, they suddenly appeared here, are they really here to seek revenge?
Everyone saw the two men dismounting from their horses and tying their horse reins to the tree trunk. They stood there for a long time, looked at each other again, and then slowly walked towards this side.
They each held a long sword. Zhong Hanjie was wearing a long black cedar hat and a triangular-shaped bamboo hat on his head. A circle of black gauze hanging from the bamboo hat covered half of his face. In the dark night, he could not be seen at all. The look on his face.
The air was instantly filled with an indescribable, strange and evil feeling!
Li Xiaoqian was wearing a white windbreaker, with long hair reaching her waist, and a pink lily tied on her head, emitting a faint fragrance.
Their clothes were fluttering in the night wind, and a shocking invisible murderous aura filled the night.
When Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan saw them appearing here, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in their hearts! What exactly this feeling is, I can't say.
Their steps were brisk and they were in front of them in a moment. Suddenly, he paused in the field, looked up at the hall, then looked at everyone, and stood there, silent.
Although Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan were surprised on their faces, they had expected it in their hearts. They were here after all!
What is going to come will come sooner or later, and what is going to happen will eventually happen!
In the arena, there are many things that cannot be avoided, such as painful and entangled grievances and unstoppable feelings!
At this moment, dusk has passed, and the twilight is getting darker and quieter!
Lights have been lit inside and outside Feixian Temple. The mountain wind makes the lanterns sway constantly. The lights are flickering and extinguishing. The orange halo shines around, showing hazy light and shadow.
The orange light shone on everyone's faces, and everyone's complexion turned waxy yellow, and seemed to be mixed with a hint of gloomy pale color. Everyone frowned and their hearts were full of doubts.
What are the backgrounds of these two people? Why are you in this place at this moment? What are they doing here?
The long gaze was faint, showing a strange color, and the expression changed rapidly, but it was impossible to tell what kind of expression it was under the dim light!
He twirled his gray beard, his eyes were like a torch, and he said with a smile: "Who is here? What are you doing here?" He looked at the man and woman who had just approached. Although his face was calm, his eyes were shining.
The man's hat was floating and he stood motionless in the middle of the field. He looked at the Taoist Master who didn't answer and asked quietly, "If I guessed correctly, the senior is the Wuchen envoy of Feixian Temple?"
When the Taoist leader heard this, his heart moved: "This person actually knows my identity?" He twirled his beard and smiled: "Yes, it is the poor Taoist. You have such a good eye! But you don't know your surname?"
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan already recognized the accent of the man. It was Zhong Hanjie, the man in black who they met by chance in the forest earlier. The two of them were moved, but they couldn't guess what their purpose was for coming at night. Is it really like what he said in the forest before: just to seek revenge? Or is there another purpose?
In the current scene, they could only remain silent and watch what happens!
The man in black looked at the old man and said slowly: "My name is Zhong Hanjie." He looked at the woman beside him: "This is my little sister Li Xiaoqian."
The old man's face remained calm, he raised the dust in his hand and said leisurely: "But I don't know what you two came to do at night."
Zhong Hanjie suddenly clasped his fists and saluted the old man, and said quietly: "I came here to see the temple master and ask for divination!" Li Xiaoqian next to him then also clasped his fists and saluted the old man.
When the old man heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter and said in deep thought: "It's a pity that the master of the temple is not at the temple today, so your trip was in vain." He paused, and then continued: "You two, please come back. Bar!"
What he said was exactly the same as what he had just said to Luo Xiangxue. Luo Xiangxue glanced at Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian and sighed softly.
At this moment, a boy walked out of the main hall, bowed to the old man, nodded and said: "Master, dinner is ready, please have a meal, Master!"
The old man waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Master knows, you can go down first!" The boy then turned and left.
Zhong Hanjie frowned, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly said quietly: "If I guess correctly, the senior is the master of Feixian Temple!"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiangxue, Hua Bufan and the old man in front of the hall all immediately shuddered. Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan looked at the old man in surprise, and doubts arose in their hearts: "Isn't that old man called Wuchen Messenger? Why did Zhong Hanjie say that he is the Master of Feixian Temple? Are Wuchen Messenger and Feixian Temple Master the same person? "What Zhong Hanjie said really shocked the two of them. This sudden change made the two of them confused. They didn't know whether it was true or false?
The old man suddenly laughed and said quietly: "How do you know that Pindao is the master of Feixian Temple?"
Zhong Hanjie cupped his fists and saluted, and said slowly: "It has been heard that Feixian Temple only has the temple master and two boys. Where did the Wuchen Messenger come from? Therefore, Wuchen Messenger is the Feixian Temple master!" He paced in place and said quietly "What I can't figure out is why the senior would use the name of Wuchen Messenger to conceal the identity of the master of the temple. Why is this?"
The old man's expression changed slightly, and then he laughed loudly and said, "It seems that you know a lot, how do you know my identity?"
Zhong Hanjie said slowly: "I have heard for a long time that the master of Feixian Temple has great supernatural powers and can predict things like a god. He can easily manage the nine palaces and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. He is very good at everything. We are just about to ask for advice!" He said lightly, "Few people in the world know this. Your true identity.”
The old man raised his fly whisk, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "How did you know?"
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan were stunned, looking at the old man, then turned to look at Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian. I couldn't understand what they were talking about more and more, and I had more doubts in my heart. I just thought that this matter was very strange, and there must be a deeper secret in it that was not known to outsiders.
There was a strange look in Zhong Hanjie's eyes, and he said leisurely: "Senior, do you admit that what I said is true?"
The old man composed himself, with a half-smile on his face, and said slowly: "What else do you know?"
Zhong Hanjie's thick eyebrows furrowed, his eyes blinked, and he muttered: "This is not the place to talk..." The black scarf on his hat was fluttering in the night wind. In the dark night, it looked even more weird, and he looked like a ghost. generally.
The old man's heart was shuddering, and he looked at Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan in the field. Then he raised his dust and said loudly: "It's getting late now. If you don't mind the simplicity of the view, why not stay here for one night and see you again tomorrow?" Can you do divination?"
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan looked at each other hesitantly and saw that the surrounding fields were dark. Although there was bright moon and starlight in the sky, walking on the mountain road at night was inconvenient. It was already very difficult to go down the mountain at this time, so they had no choice but to do so.
Luo Xiangxue immediately cupped her fists and saluted the old man and said, "Thank you so much, Master, for taking me in!"
Over there, Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian remained calm.
The old man stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, please come in and talk!"
At this time, Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan here, and Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian over there, just stepped up the stairs and walked towards the main hall.
Over there, Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian smiled slightly at Luo Xiangxuehua. Everyone entered the hall. The hall was in a square shape. In the middle stood a statue of Laozi, the founder of Taoism with an immortal air. He had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and was solemn and majestic. Right in front of the statue There is an incense burner in which the incense is burning and burning green smoke is rising. An Eight Immortals table is placed in the west corner. Several plates of vegetarian rice and five pairs of bowls and chopsticks were already placed on the table. The two boys stood with their hands down and their chests raised, expressionless, looking ahead, still wary of the people in front of them.
The master of Feixian Temple smiled loudly and then invited everyone to sit down and have a meal.
Everyone looked around. Although they looked calm and peaceful on the outside, they were uneasy inside. This solemn Taoist temple made them a little uncomfortable, and there was an air of mystery everywhere.
The old man smiled and said: "Everyone, please have a meal!" After that, he sat upright on the main seat. Two boys on the side immediately came forward and filled a bowl of vegetarian rice for each person and placed it in front of them.
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan quietly took their seats in the guest seats on the left, while Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian slowly took their seats in the guest seats on the right.
Several dishes of vegetarian dishes were steaming in the center of the table. The guests of honor stopped being polite and began to eat separately.
Everyone couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts: There is a trace of unspeakable mystery and weirdness in this Taoist temple. This old man is obviously the master of Feixian Temple, why doesn't he show his true face to others? After all the obstacles just now, why? ... Each question is like a hemp rope full of knots waiting to be untied.
Everyone was silent, minding their own food, occasionally glancing at each other secretly from the corner of their eyes. The old man smiled from beginning to end, which was completely different from his previous attitude.
After a while, everyone had finished eating. Although each other knew their identities, it was inconvenient to tell them in the current situation. Although they were wondering in their hearts, they were all suspicious of each other's purpose of coming here, but they remained calm.
Seeing that everyone was silent and quite reserved, the old man stood up and said slowly to everyone: "You are all here for the first time. You are guests and you should treat each other with courtesy." He walked forward slowly and continued He said, "Are you surprised? These two people were asking for a meeting outside the temple earlier. Why did Pindao close the door to thank them?" He said, looking at Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan, his eyes flashed, and the strange color became more intense.
Luo Xiangxue lowered her eyebrows, smiled slightly, clasped her fists and said, "Yes, I am very confused below, please give me some advice!"
Hua Bufan sat there, frowning, looking extremely nervous, as if he was afraid that the two sides would start a fight if they disagreed. It was no wonder that he, a villager, had seen the swords and shadows of people in the world. He glanced at Luo Xiangxue, then looked at the old man warily. From time to time, he secretly looked at Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian.
Both Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian looked at the Taoist Priest with calm expressions. The calmer they appear on the surface, the less likely they are to raise suspicion about their motives.
Luo Xiangxue suddenly remembered her previous conversation with them in the woods, and they did not shy away from telling strangers their grudges against the Feixian Temple Master. At that time, both of them showed the same hatred against the enemy and wanted to kill them quickly. But now, these two people are standing in front of their enemies, but they behave so calmly and without any hint of hatred. This is really shocking. It’s incredible! Could it be that these two people were just pretending to be calm, waiting for an opportunity: when the Taoist leader was completely unprepared, he suddenly struck a fatal blow?
Of course, any situation is possible before the cause is figured out.
The Taoist priest faced the temple gate, raised the dust in his hand, and stroking his beard said quietly: "To be honest with you, since the temple opened ten years ago, many believers have come here every year to ask for divination. Most of them are For those who ask sincerely, there are also a few people who come here with bad intentions and want to do evil things here. In view of this, anyone who comes to watch the above should be stopped for a while and asked again and again, lest the person who comes is not good and causes trouble. !" He looked at everyone with a smile.
When Luo Xiangxue heard this, she suddenly understood, nodded, and said seriously: "I see, the Taoist priest is thoughtful and considerate, and I really admire him for his good intentions!" Just as he said that, Zhong Hanjie actually sneered, and then said A sigh.
Li Xiaoqian's eyes moved, staring at Zhong Hanjie, showing a slight expression of indifference, not knowing whether she was happy or sad?
When the Taoist Master heard him sneer, he was surprised, his expression changed slightly, then returned to normal, smiled slightly, and said: "Donor Zhong, why are you laughing?" He glanced at him slightly warily.
In fact, ever since Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian appeared in front of the audience at nightfall, he was immediately surprised and became wary of the two of them. Moreover, as soon as they appeared, they had a faint murderous aura about them, and he had even noticed it. These two people may have come with bad intentions, but just now they saw his hidden identity in front of him, which shocked him even more. And the reason why he doesn't show his true face to others is not only to prevent the tree from attracting wind, but also has another purpose.
Zhong Hanjie rolled his eyes, glanced at Li Xiaoqian beside him, his expression changed, and he said slowly: "I laughed and said that I have been hiding from the world for a long time, but I am so surrounded by grass and trees? But I don't know why?" His words seemed to be an understatement, but in fact they were Contains sarcasm.
The Taoist Master turned his eyes, raised his whisk, and said sternly: "Donor Zhong, the poor Taoist just said that this is just to guard against unscrupulous people, and it is a last resort!"
Zhong Hanjie actually burst into laughter and said quietly: "Oh, that's it! With the Taoist master's martial arts skills, can he still be afraid of those little spear-headed thieves in the world?" His eyebrows twitched, and the sarcasm in his words became even stronger.
The Taoist priest was not angry but smiled, and said slowly: "The dangers of the rivers and lakes are beyond the reach of you and me. As the saying goes, it is necessary to be on guard against others. The people who come to Fei Xian Temple to ask for fortune-telling and fortune-telling all the time are mixed, and I am a poor Taoist. You have to be on guard!" He said, observing the changes in his face.
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan remained calm, sitting there on pins and needles with panic in their hearts, neither sitting nor standing, watching the movements on the field vigilantly.
Li Xiaoqian stood up and looked at the changes in Zhong Hanjie's expression from time to time, her eyes flashing with deep meaning.
Zhong Hanjie paced slowly on the spot, looking at the dense night outside the window, and said leisurely: "I heard that the Taoist priest was originally a disciple of the Xuanying Hall of the Flying Eagle Hall outside the Pass, and he worshiped under the seat of Elder Xuanying, who was known as Zixiao Ke. ,"
The strange light flashing in his eyes was even worse. "Then, the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared from Xuanying Hall. This Feixian Temple suddenly appeared ten years ago, and it was on a rainy evening ten years ago that Elder Xuanying But he died tragically and inexplicably in the secret passage in the back mountain... Don't you think this is too coincidental, Taoist Master?"
Before he could finish his words, the Taoist priest behind him raised a dust fly in his hand, frowned, and with lightning eyes, he looked at him and said sternly: "Donor Zhong, who are you waiting for? What do you mean by these things, poor man?" I can’t understand a word of Tao.”
The Taoist Priest heard him talk about his life experience. It was obvious that he was not just a strange pilgrim, he was very familiar with his past... But what was the background of this man? seen.
How could he be so familiar with his life experience if he wasn't someone close to him? What is the real purpose of this person coming here? Zhong Hanjie's words struck him like a thunderbolt, and his heart suddenly rolled with waves. The identity of the person in front of him was suspicious, so he should be careful and wary of him.
The Taoist Master was about to ask again, but Zhong Hanjie spoke again: "Taoist Master, why didn't you wait for me to finish what I said?" He glanced at the crowd with the corner of his eye, and said quietly, "What are you nervous about, Taoist Master?"
At this time, Li Xiaoqian held the hilt of the sword, and her hand began to shake slightly. The movement was subtle, so it was not easy to detect.
There was a blazing flame burning wantonly in her eyes. Under the cover of the orange light, it was impossible to see the murderous intention hidden in it.
Every time she wanted to make a move, another voice sounded in her heart: Don't be impulsive and wait for the best time. If the attack fails, not only will there never be such an opportunity again in the future, but it will even be impossible for him to escape unscathed.
So, just wait!
With the martial arts skills of the two of them, if they faced each other head-on, there would be no chance of winning. The only way to deal with this sworn enemy with high martial arts skills in front of them was a sneak attack.
They just came here pretending to be believers, just to find the best opportunity to take action.
However, after all, they were young and energetic, and they only thought about revenge, but they completely underestimated the power of this disciple of Xuanying Hall.
Li Xiaoqian had only heard her father accidentally mention that the master of Feixian Temple on Peach Blossom Mountain was the murderer of her uncle ten years ago. But my father said that he had only met this Taoist priest once, and based on the condor sword skills he displayed, he concluded that this man was the murderer who escaped ten years ago.
At that time, her father repeatedly advised her not to act on impulse and act recklessly. With your current martial arts skills, you are definitely no match for this Taoist priest. If you act rashly, not only will you not be able to get revenge, you may even risk your own life.
At that time, Hanjie happened to come to the village to see her, but she was arrogant and impulsively told him everything about the matter. He thought that his uncle's family had been tracking down their enemy for ten years and finally had some clues.
In order to win the favor of his uncle and aunt, he could agree to his marriage to Xiaoqian. He felt that if he could avenge this bloody revenge for them, his uncle and aunt would definitely change their prejudice against him. Maybe, as soon as they are happy, they will accept the marriage.
Therefore, he decided to drag Xiaoqian along to meet this legendary Taoist priest with profound knowledge. Firstly, I wanted to explore the strength of his martial arts skills, and secondly, I wanted to ask him the ins and outs of this matter face to face.
However, they were too naive and even completely underestimated this enemy who could kill the elder of Xuanying Hall ten years ago.
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan saw that their conversation was no longer smooth, but clearly tense, and they couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts. He also couldn't help but feel upset because of his recklessness and being inexplicably involved in this grudge that had nothing to do with him.
They were outsiders, and they only came here to ask for divination. To be more precise, they just had fun and satisfied their curiosity.
Now, the only thing they can do is wait and see. They don't want to get involved in other people's grudges, let alone be inexplicably involved.
Hua Bufan felt even more upset about the sudden changes in front of him. Originally, I just followed my mother's order to go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, but I didn't expect to encounter heavy rain again. I met Luo Xiangxue by accident in a mountain pavilion, and after a friendly relationship, I developed a good impression of this new friend. I was worried that she would be in danger if she came alone, so I offered to go with her.
But he never thought that he would be involved in this grudge in a confused way. At this moment, he just wants to leave this place as soon as possible. If he continues like this, he will definitely be unable to get off. And swords have no eyes. Once both parties get involved and accidentally injure themselves, wouldn't they be asking for trouble!
The Taoist priest's heart was turbulent, but his face looked unusually calm. He thought to himself: "The origins of these two people are unknown, so it is better to stay put for now. I will wait and see what happens and see what tricks they want to play?"
He immediately tried to smooth things over and said in a deep voice: "Donor Zhong, what do you mean by this?" He raised the dust in his hand and said quietly, "If you two sincerely ask for the fortune, you should treat each other with courtesy, but if there is anything else, It’s my intention, but I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you!” He said neither humble nor arrogant, and responded calmly.
Li Xiaoqian couldn't hold it any longer. She wanted to draw her sword several times, but Zhong Hanjie stopped her with a look.
Zhong Hanjie has extensive experience in the world of martial arts, and he is more calm and sophisticated when faced with problems. He will never act rashly until he understands the cause of the matter.
Zhong Hanjie paced and said quietly: "The Taoist Priest was a disciple of Xuanying Hall ten years ago. Is this a fact?" His eyes moved, and he squinted at the Taoist Priest, trying to detect some trace of interest in the expression on his face. trace.
The Taoist Master suddenly let out a long sigh: "Donor Zhong, I don't even know what you are talking about? Our Feixian Temple is a quiet place. Please don't talk nonsense here and disturb the peace! The donor just now I have no idea what Xuan Ying Hall is about, so please be a benefactor and please respect yourself!"
After that, he walked slowly to the incense burner, looked at the statue of the ancestor with a solemn expression, and said no more. He closed his eyes, as if he no longer wanted to listen to what Zhong Hanjie continued to say.
At this time, the night outside the window was dark and the starlight had dimmed. Only the bright moon hung in the sky, shining a clear light on the earth.
Suddenly, the Taoist priest opened his eyes and murmured: "I have been practicing hard for decades. I only want to devote myself to enlightenment and retreat from the mortal world. I have no intention of caring about the grudges and grudges in the world! All distracting thoughts are just dust! Good and evil. When the cause and effect comes to an end, please give the donor a second thought!”
After saying that, he blew up the dust, ignored it, and walked slowly into the inner room.
Everyone felt incomprehensible, and they were stunned on the spot for a moment, and there was no sound.
After a while, the two boys walked out of it. A boy bowed to everyone and said seriously: "Everyone, the master of the temple has invited you! Please come with me!" After that, he bowed to invite and walked towards the inner room.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then followed the boy in with solemn expressions.
After opening a layer of door curtain, it was a dark and cramped inner room, with colorful tassels hanging on the walls, hanging curtains, and candles lit in the corners. There is a rectangular wooden table in the middle of the inner room, with futons placed on all sides. A stick of incense is burning on the wooden table, and the whole room is filled with clear smoke.
A faint scent of fragrance filled the surroundings. Smelling this light aroma makes your mind clear and refreshing.
I saw the long-haired man sitting cross-legged next to the wooden desk, with his eyes closed and his face calm. The boy led the crowd to tiptoe to the front, stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and stepped aside.
The Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes and said softly without expression: "Everyone, please sit down!"
Everyone followed the instructions and each sat on a futon, looking at the Taoist Master with doubts on their faces.
Luo Xiangxue and Hua Bufan sat on the left, and Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian sat on the right. When everyone was seated, the Taoist Master glanced at everyone and said quietly: "You are destined to be here among all living beings. Since you ask sincerely, Then please tell me the confusion in your heart, and follow God's will to answer your questions! Come one by one, who of you will speak first?" He looked at the few people kindly.
Luo Xiangxue smiled and nodded at Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian, made a "please" gesture, and said seriously: "You two should invite me first!"
Zhong Hanjie and Li Xiaoqian looked at each other, and Zhong Hanjie smiled and said: "You two come first, you should talk first!" After that, he nodded to the two of them. His eyes were calm and showed strange colors.
Luo Xiangxue said quietly: "If that's the case, then it's better for us to be respectful than to obey!"
After saying that, she turned to the Taoist Priest and said, "Asking for a signature is a private wish. Could you please Taoist Priest, do you have any taboos?" She thought to herself that it was a little inconvenient to talk about personal matters in front of everyone.
The Taoist Master said leisurely: "Donor Luo asked sincerely. There is no need to avoid it. If there is any confusion, it doesn't matter! We will do our best to help the donor clear up his doubts!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiangxue nodded, nodded slightly and said, "I would like to ask the Taoist priest to test someone?" As she said this, she couldn't help showing a hint of shyness on her face. His eyes flickered, revealing a touch of slenderness.
The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and looked at her, and said quietly: "I wonder who the donor Luo wants to test?"
Luo Xiangxue's eyes softened and she said softly: "He is a friend of mine named Liu Ruyan. Can you tell me, Taoist priest, what kind of person he is?" She said quietly, "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Do you know how he is doing now?"
The long-haired man stroked his gray beard, smiled, and said slowly: "Then let the donor cast the lot!" After saying that, he ordered the boy to bring a tube of bamboo sticks and put it in front of Luo Xiangxue.
Luo Xiangxue thought to herself: "I hope he is safe!" Then she closed her eyes, held the bamboo tube in her hands and started shaking it. Suddenly, a bamboo stick fell out and landed in front of her. Her heart moved, she opened her eyes suddenly, picked up the bamboo stick, and presented it to the Taoist Master with both hands.
The Taoist priest took it and took a look and saw a line written on the signature: "Meeting by chance means marriage." He stared at it carefully for a moment, then put down the bamboo stick, stroking his beard with his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the donor, this bamboo stick If you sign for marriage, you sign for good luck!"
