Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

The lonely look on Pei Xuening's face disappeared in an instant. She quickly cheered up, pulled Su Liu up again, and said enthusiastically:

"By the way, I heard that there's a seasoned man who has placed orders recently. He's very accurate in seeing things. Let's go and have a look too."

After that, he pulled her towards the Xiangtang without any explanation.

The three of them followed the pilgrims through the incense hall and arrived at the backyard.

There are all kinds of flowers and plants here, including a large peach tree with red prayer charms hanging on it, which looks particularly festive.

Under the peach tree, there was an old man wearing a monk's robe with white beard and hair sitting there. He seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. However, if you look closely, you could see that there were many pilgrims surrounding him, and the old man didn't even need to Open your eyes and you can answer their questions one by one.

Pei Xuening also happily pulled Su Liu and Wen Shiche to queue up. Judging from the number of people waiting around, this veteran was really popular.

It took a lot of effort to get in line with them.

Pei Xuening stood at the front and ran to the old Tao excitedly. Before she could ask her question, the old Tao spoke first.

"The girl wants to ask about marriage, right?"

"Yes, yes, the master is really capable." Pei Xuening nodded repeatedly, becoming even more excited.

"The girl seems to be young, why are you starting to want to get married?"

The old man still closed his eyes tightly, and there seemed to be a slight smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Xuening blushed and started to feel a little shy. He rubbed his hands and didn't know how to answer.

"Well..."

The old Taoist didn't ask further questions, he just stroked his beard behind his back and smiled kindly, somewhat like the look on the face of an elder in the family when they meet a younger one.

"Actually, the girl's fate has arrived. Just pay attention to the people around you."

His words clearly meant something, but he didn't point it out directly.

Pei Xuening looked behind her in surprise. Isn't that Wen Shiche?

Wen Shiche suddenly felt a little fuzzy when she stared at him, and cold sweat broke out on his body, feeling very embarrassed.

"Really? Master, thank you very much!"

She was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly, and then pulled Wen Shiche along.

"Brother Che, come and do the math too!"

Wen Shiche waved his hands repeatedly. He was not interested in fortune telling to begin with, but after what happened just now, he didn't dare to tell fortunes anymore.

However, just when he was pushed to the front, the old man suddenly looked stern and said in a deep voice:

"This little friend, his relatives and friends may be robbed, but what dangerous thing happened to him?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Shiche's expression changed instantly, and even Su Liu looked in disbelief.

"Taoist Master, can you tell us in detail?" Wen Shiche stopped struggling, sat down on the futon in front of the old Taoist, and asked eagerly.

The old man stretched out his hand and calculated.

"This disaster may be related to the war, but it does not seem to be caused by external enemies. Instead, it seems to have some internal cause..."

The old man revealed everything about his family and the war. Wen Shiche's heart gradually began to twitch, and now he couldn't help but not believe it.

But what does the second half of the old saying mean?

Wen Shiche gave a brief introduction to the situation at home and also brought up matters on the northwest border, hoping that the old man could explain further.

"That's it. My little friend's father and brothers are both in the northwest. No wonder the hexagram shows that it is related to the war..." The old Taoist nodded first, and then sighed, "The secret must not be leaked. The old Taoist can only remind you to guard against others. The heart is indispensable." His words seemed a bit ambiguous, and the three of them still heard it in confusion.

"Taoist Priest, is there no solution?" Wen Shiche asked worriedly.

"If you are really worried, you can do a blessing ritual in the temple. The standards don't have to be too high, just be sincere." The old Taoist said calmly, "However, this method only increases a little bit of luck. What is the result? It depends on the individual’s destiny.”

"Okay." Wen Shiche nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.

Su Liu listened on the sidelines and always felt that this routine was a bit familiar. Why did it look so like those modern swindlers who specialize in cheating money?

Soon, it was her turn.

When she first sat down, she was a little at a loss. After all, she didn't have anything to ask.

The old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, and looked around her body with a pair of clear and energetic eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Strange..." the old man muttered to himself.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, many people around him were also startled. He usually kept his eyes closed when looking at others.

"What's wrong?" Su Liu was a little confused. Could it be that his fate was too strange?

"I can't see it." The old Taoist shook his head and kept calculating in his hands, almost making sparks. "The girl's soul does not seem to belong to the three realms, and she can't see any cause and effect..."

Hearing this, Su Liu was greatly shocked.

Just a moment ago, she was still suspecting that this person was a liar, but now it seems that he is probably a bit genuine.

He couldn't see his fate, probably because his soul had traveled through time, so it was not in the reincarnation of this world.

"This is impossible." The old Taoist was still talking to himself, his face full of confusion, and he even began to have some self-doubt, "Did I miss something?"

Seeing this situation, Su Liu smiled awkwardly and quickly found a step to get off.

"Forget it, I don't have anything special to ask. Maybe the Taoist Master is tired."

As she spoke, she silently pulled Pei Xuening and Wen Shiche aside, and slowly withdrew from the crowd under the eyes of the old man who still had a hint of suspicion.

"What did he mean by what he just said?" Pei Xuening remembered what the old Taoist said to Su Liu and couldn't help but be curious.

Su Liu didn't know how to explain it, so he had to make it up.

"Well, maybe it's because I just found my true identity, so my destiny is a little confused."

Fortunately, neither Pei Xuening nor Wen Shiche looked into the matter in detail, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to explain it.

"By the way, let's do the blessing ceremony."

Su Liu thought of what Lao Tao said just now, so he suggested.

She didn't take his words seriously at first, but now that she was sure that this man was really capable, what he said about his family being robbed might be true.

She and Wen Shiche couldn't help much from behind, so they could only do what they could.

The ritual ceremony for praying for blessings and eliminating disasters for the living belongs to the yangshi dojo and needs to be held in three days, making the process very cumbersome. But they don't need to come every day. They just need to leave their family members' birth dates and buy enough incense and candle paper money to let the Taoist priests in the temple pray for them.

After finishing the arrangements, they offered a Three Treasure Lantern in the Taoist temple to protect their family's safety.
