His voice seemed crazy, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of bitterness.
"I don't know if the mother and daughter finally waited for the person who left without saying goodbye."
Xu Taiping looked at the pair of porcelain figures on the table and muttered to himself again.
Perhaps because the pair of porcelain figures were so lifelike, he didn't feel much joy after the disaster at the moment, and was still immersed in the mood of the mother and daughter.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely wait."
The old Taoist priest grinned at Xu Taiping.
As he spoke, he took out three more gold coins from his sleeves and put them into the bamboo tube on the table. While shaking them, he asked Xu Taiping:
"Young man, what do you want to do? I am happy that I don't need to charge you any money today."
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
Xu Taiping cupped his hands and thanked him.
With the words of the old Taoist priest, he knew that his disaster was over.
"Tell me, old Taoist priest, I can calculate everything about power, blessings and misfortunes, future, and marriage."
The old Taoist priest shaking his bamboo tube urged.
Xu Taiping actually didn't know much about the art of divination, but according to Sister Lingyue, it could be regarded as a kind of divination art. And since the old Taoist priest in front of him has such profound cultivation, it is very likely that he is indeed good at this way.
So he asked with the mentality of giving it a try:
"Taoist Priest, I want to ask about life and death. Seven years from now at the Golden Scale Society, will I still be able to return to the capital of Nanchu alive?"
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest immediately frowned and took a closer look at Xu Taiping's appearance.
"It's interesting, young man, even I can't see through your face."
After a long time, the old Taoist priest's face, which had always been very frivolous, suddenly gained a look of solemnity.
But immediately, he grinned again and said:
"But don't worry, I will make a prediction for you now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the three gold coins in the bamboo tube on the table, then held his chin and looked at it carefully.
After a long time, the old Taoist priest slowly raised his head, looked at Xu Taiping with an extremely solemn expression and said:
"Boy, who did you mess with?"
Xu Taiping was very surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the old Taoist priest could actually see this from the hexagrams.
"Taoist Master, I can't say."
Xu Taiping answered honestly.
"It's right not to say anything, or you'll die faster."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, not only was he not unhappy at all, but he nodded approvingly.
"Taoist Master, isn't this hexagram not very good?"
Xu Taiping looked at the gold coins on the table and asked with a frown.
"Isn't it just bad? I have been traveling around the world for so many years, old Taoist priest, and I have never seen such dangerous hexagrams a few times."
The old Taoist priest frowned.
Xu Taiping was actually mentally prepared for this.
After all, ever since he decided to go to the Blood Rain Forest, he and Fairy Lingyue were gambling with their lives.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, I have anticipated the danger of this trip..."
"Don't worry!"
Xu Taiping was just about to say goodbye to the old Taoist priest when he suddenly stopped him.
"If you die like this, wouldn't it ruin my reputation if word spreads about it in the future? I will give you another hexagram, and I will definitely find a way for you to survive!"
The old Taoist priest looked at Xu Taiping with an expression that said, "You can die, but you must not die here."
Xu Taiping didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
He raised his head and glanced at the red lightning that was still falling continuously above his head, and then nodded to the old Taoist priest and said: "Then, Taoist Master Lao, please help me make another hexagram. If there is still no life in the hexagram, That can only be said to be my destiny."
There was at least half a stick of incense left before the blood rain fell, enough for him to leave the capital.
The old Taoist priest nodded coldly when he heard this, and immediately held the three gold coins in his palm. While he was mumbling something, his body began to emit a colorful halo.
"What a profound divine energy. This old Taoist priest is indeed extraordinary."
Xu Taiping said with a look of shock.
Only in Sister Lingyue had he experienced divine energy as profound as this old Taoist priest.
Then there was just a "crash" sound. The old Taoist priest threw the three gold coins on the table, and then stared at the three gold coins in different directions on the table, while his fingers kept moving. Calculate.
"puff!……"
At the end of the calculation, the old Taoist priest suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then said with an unbelievable look on his face:
"You didn't even give me a way out. Who on earth is more domineering than me?"
Xu Taiping smiled bitterly upon hearing this, cupped his hands at the old Taoist priest and said:
"Taoist Master, in that case, I'll take my leave."
"wait."
The old Taoist priest stopped Xu Taiping again and said in a very domineering tone:
"Others won't give you a way out. Old Taoist priest, I will give you a way out. You stay and follow me. Old Taoist priest, I will protect you from death."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping's heart felt inexplicably warm.
He didn't expect that this old monster in Liantong's eyes would actually help him.
"Thank you Taoist Priest for your kindness. I know that I will have a narrow chance of death on this trip, but I have to go."
Xu Taiping bowed to the old Taoist priest very solemnly and thanked him.
"Is there anything more important than life?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Xu Taiping with a puzzled expression.
"There's none?"
Xu Taiping asked the old Taoist priest with a smile.
The old Taoist priest was stunned again when he heard this. He looked at the two porcelain figures on the table, then waved his hands and said:
"Let's go!"
Xu Taiping handed over to the old Taoist priest again, then turned around and walked quickly towards the south gate of Tongdu City. There was a road outside the south gate that led directly to the Blood Rain Forest.
Watching Xu Taiping's figure walking further and further away, the old Taoist priest scratched his head unwillingly.
He wanted to give Xu Taiping a way out, not because he was kind-hearted, but simply because he found that this man could not be saved by himself.
As for the old Taoist priest, the more he said something that others opposed, the more he did it!
"Boy, stay!"
At this moment, the old Taoist priest seemed to have made up his mind and called out to Xu Taiping, who had walked more than a hundred feet away.
