The black blind Taoist priest might have been in a hurry, so his robe was stained with a lot of mud. He touched his unnecessary beard, chuckled twice and took out a lottery tube from his arms. The Taoist priest is so skinny that it is impossible to see even the slightest trace of this thing hidden in his clothes. He doesn't look like a Taoist priest at all. He looks more like a charlatan.
Fu Ling heard the noise and opened the door and saw the two of them standing facing each other like this. When did Governor Jiang come? Why was there no sound at all, and he looked like he was sweating a lot.
Shen Qingwan brought the fried herbs and refused to let go even though her palms were blistered by the edge of the bowl. If Shen Zhiyi hadn't rescued her, she would have turned into a cold corpse.
Seeing this, Fuling quickly took the Chinese medicine prepared by Shen Qingwan and said, "Master Jiang, this Taoist priest is a good man. It is thanks to his wife that he saved his life."
Hearing this, Jiang Yubai did not look at the Taoist priest again, but the doubts in his heart were not eliminated. Who is this Taoist priest?
"Mrs. Xiang, long time no see."
Shen Zhiyi was filled with doubts when he heard the Taoist priest's words. Does he know my mother? But she had never heard her mother mention any Taoist priests. It was only in this life that she saw her mother wearing Buddhist beads, but they were also Buddhist things. What did they have to do with this Taoist priest?
Seeing the Taoist priest's calm eyes, Shen Zhiyi became even more confused. However, the Taoist priest seemed to see her doubts and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, your mother and I are old acquaintances. The string of Buddhist beads on her wrist was exactly what I brought to her on the Shangsi Festival."
Shangsi Festival? It was the day she was at the princess mansion.
No matter who this person is, he has saved her mother. She should thank her, "Thank you..."
"Hey, wait a minute," the black blind Taoist priest interrupted her, "I didn't save her, it was her who was left hanging with her last breath because of her obsession. I am here today because of you."
Shen Zhiyi pointed at herself with her hand, as if she didn't believe it.
"Me?" Shen Zhiyi laughed at herself. What happened to her was so bizarre that even though she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she had to believe it.
"I spent half my life in prison and wasted half my life, and finally I was trapped in that four-dimensional world. Miss, am I telling the truth at all?" Seeing Shen Zhiyi's lips trembled slightly as if he wanted to say something, the old Taoist priest added: "You and Just like your mother, it’s destiny.”
After she came back from rebirth, she vaguely felt that her mother had changed a lot, but she couldn't see the sharpness. If her mother used to be embarrassed towards Shen Hong and the others, she heard from the servants that she had a big quarrel with Shen Hong when she returned from the mass grave. Even after Shen Runxue was beheaded, she didn't say a soft word. Instead, she reminded herself to be careful of Xie Shaoheng.
Shen Qingwan seemed to realize that she was not suitable to stay here anymore. She boiled the Chinese medicine and added two pieces of rock sugar to remove the bitterness. She closed the door and left. Zhuo Yun felt distressed when he saw the burns on the girl's hands and got some plant ash. on her wounds.
"Miss, Miss Shen never said anything about giving you any ointment."
In the past, wounds in the Shen family were treated with plant ash, but now when you go to other people's houses, you have to be more careful and not provoke others.
"Zhuoyun, shut up. I'm lucky to be out of the sea of suffering now. Don't talk nonsense." The moment he sprinkled the plant ash, the wound felt uncomfortable. He leaned over his lips and blew lightly to reduce the pain.
The old Taoist priest saw Xiang Jinzhu's pale face and sighed deeply, "You are destined to trade one life for another. Miss Xiang, there will always be regrets in life. Your body is already at the end of its strength, so why torture yourself so hard."
Shen Zhiyi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he looked at the old Taoist priest with a slight frown, "What does one life for another mean? My mother..."
Back then, Xiang Jinzhu took Shen Zhiyi to Jiyun Temple to pray for his husband and son who were away on the battlefield. They happened to meet him traveling around at the foot of the mountain and asked for two lottery tickets for Shen Zhiyi. Same result.
She was originally a phoenix flying in the sky, but she was blinded by jealousy and died with hatred.
When she became queen, she was jealous of Shen Qinghe, and her husband sent her to the battlefield. Although she knew no martial arts, she relied on the military skills taught to her by her father and brother, and relied on her own strategies to defeat the enemy on the battlefield. She thought she relied on her merits She can make Xie Shaoheng take pity on her and wait until she returns to Beijing for Shen Qinghe to give birth to a child early.
Her husband expected her to die on the battlefield, while her sister was jealous of her position and wanted to take her place. Finally, she was trapped in a prison and died with hatred and was tortured to death. Her life could not be described as more than miserable.
Ever since she met the Taoist priest and learned about Shen Zhiyi's fate, she had also tried to persuade Shen Zhiyi to reunite with Xie Shaoheng, but a Taoist priest who appeared halfway could not even convince her, let alone outsiders... ....
After Xiang Jinzhu returned, she chanted sutras and chanted Buddha day and night, just asking God to spare her daughter's fate. This matter became her heartache until her death. When she was about to die, she found the Taoist priest of that year. No, to be precise, it was the Taoist priest of that year. The Taoist priest found her.
Xiang Jinzhu sacrificed all his life to buy Shen Zhiyi a glimmer of hope to reverse his fate, because it originally belonged to her daughter...
"Mrs. Xiang's life is over, and she will die when she fulfills her last wish. If Miss Shen doesn't believe it, you can feel Mrs. Xiang's pulse to see if it is as lifeless as death."
Following the Taoist's instructions, Shen Zhiyi gently lifted up Xiang's sleeves and placed his fingers on his mother's pulse. She doesn't know medical skills, but she still has the basic sense of touch. Then, she put her fingers between Xiang's nose and could only feel a faint breath.
"Taoist Master, I beg you, I beg you, save her..." Shen Zhiyi could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, and tears burst into her eyes. She could not imagine losing her mother, nor could she accept the reality that her mother was about to pass away.
Why is it still like this even though I have already been reborn?
The Taoist priest looked at Shen Zhiyi, with a trace of unbearability flashing in his eyes. He knew that Mrs. Xiang's condition was irreversible, but looking at the anxious girl, he felt helpless.
"Miss Shen, life or death is a matter of fate, and a poor Taoist can only do his best." The Taoist priest's words made Shen Zhiyi feel a little desperate, but she still refused to give up and held the Taoist priest's hand tightly, "No matter what, I beg you to do it." If you want to find a way, I beg you..."
"Your mother was already dead when she sacrificed her own life for you to live a new life. She is only in this world because of her obsession."
When Shen Zhiyi heard these words, he felt as if he was struck by five thunders and could not accept this fact. She refused to believe that her mother died because of her.
"No, that's impossible..." she muttered, tears blurring her vision.
If her fate was earned by her mother, she would rather not have this fate! She just wants to live a stable life!
"Miss Shen, this is the best arrangement of fate. Don't be too distracted. I'm here today to give you something." After saying that, the Taoist priest picked out a cinnabar bracelet from his bag and handed it to her, "You have a noble man. Help me to turn disaster into good luck. I will lend you this bracelet, I just hope that you will be careful."
Shen Zhiyi looked at the Taoist priest silently, with sadness and confusion intertwined in his heart. She knew that what the Taoist priest in front of her said was a bit profound and she needed time to digest it.
"Noble?" She murmured to herself, "My mother is my noble, she shouldn't trade her life for me."
"Girl, there are many noble people in this life, and those villains who hinder you will be eradicated one by one. Your mother's strength has long been exhausted, and it is her decision whether to save you or not. In your previous life, your life was changed by a villain, and now the villain Being subdued is also a kind of karma."
Being replaced by a villain? When Shen Zhiyi heard this, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart. In her previous life, someone secretly changed her fate, so her mother...
If she was a phoenix, she helped Xie Shaoheng sit on the dragon throne and ascended to the phoenix throne herself, but was later imprisoned and tortured day and night. Xie Shaoheng wanted to make Shen Qinghe his queen despite the objections of the ministers. Her good sister was not only cruel, but also secretly changed her fate, causing her own mother...
Shen Zhiyi held the cinnabar bracelet in her hand tightly, tears flowing down the corners of her eyes...
The Taoist smiled and shook his head, "This cinnabar bracelet was lent to the young lady by the poor Taoist. I will naturally come and get it back when the time comes." "
His words were full of mystery, which made Shen Zhiyi curiously ask: "Taoist Priest, what is the use of this cinnabar bracelet? Why did you lend it to me?"
The Taoist priest glanced at her indifferently and did not answer. He just reminded her again: "Miss Shen, sometimes things in this world cannot be measured by simple right and wrong. You must cherish everything in front of you and act carefully."
Living a new life is ridiculous. Shen Zhiyi couldn't believe it for a long time after she came back. She thought it was a dream several times, but the clear pain in the dream told her that she was really back. Even if it was a dream, at least it was a sweet dream. He wouldn't open his eyes again and go back to that dark dungeon, where he would be tortured day and night.
"Phoenix life is inherently precious. When a girl meets a noble person, she will be able to turn bad luck into good fortune and change her trajectory." The Taoist priest's words were full of mystery and profound meaning.
Shen Zhiyi's heart moved, and she thought of what her mother once said, "When you meet a noble person, you will turn bad luck into good luck." She suddenly understood what the Taoist meant. After she came back from rebirth, she did meet Jiang Yubai at the mass grave and turned danger into good fortune.
"My mother is my noble person." Shen Zhiyi said softly, "As for the noble person you mentioned, I think it should be my master. After I came back from rebirth, I met him at the mass grave and used his power to take revenge. Hateful. "
The Taoist priest nodded slightly, with a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "The girl is smart and can recognize and employ people. She is indeed a noble person."
The Taoist priest seemed to sense something and put the lotus tube into his sleeve. He took out the whisk hidden inside from his sleeve. He originally thought that he could use this lottery tube, but now it seems that he was overly worried.
He glanced at Shen Zhiyi indifferently and said, "Miss Shen, your fate with me is not over yet. If I need anything from you in the future, I will naturally come to you."
It's really interesting that this Taoist priest didn't leave an address or name. How would he know when he would ask him for something?
The Taoist priest glanced at Mrs. Xiang for the last time, but his long-cherished wish will leave on his own. Finally, he took back the beaded bracelet on Mrs. Xiang's wrist, which he lent to her when he first met Mrs. Xiang. Now this hand The string is returned to its original owner.
His figure looked ethereal and mysterious in the sunlight, as if he were an outsider who came and went without a trace, leaving only one sentence, "The past is a foregone conclusion, you can't stay, every bad thing turns into good luck and the purple energy comes from the east."
