Chapter 705 Fortune Telling (2)

Shen Miao said, "Master, please look at another lot for me."

Jingzhe and Guyu were a little anxious, and they couldn't understand why Shen Miao looked at this Taoist priest differently and was willing to let this Taoist priest show her another fortune stick.

The Taoist priest chuckled, picked up another stick, glanced at Shen Miao, and stroked his beard as usual before slowly saying, “From bad times to good times, purple air is coming from the east, a good omen. Excellent stick!”

Jingzhe and Guyu were already worried that the Taoist would say something unlucky. It was almost the end of the year, and everyone feared bad luck. Hearing him say this, they breathed a sigh of relief. But Jingzhe continued to taunt him, "I told you you were a liar. One fortune stick said bad luck, one said good luck. So which one is the truth?"

"Both lots are true." The Taoist said, "If you don't believe me, ask your young lady: have I lied?"

Shen Miao's heart moved, and she said, "Jingzhe Guyu, you guys go to the guards first, I have something to say to the Taoist priest alone."

Jingzhe wanted to give some advice, but she felt that the Taoist priest was a charlatan. However, Guyu shook his head at her and pulled her aside, making room for Shen Miao and the Taoist priest to talk in peace.

Shen Miao frowned and looked at the Taoist priest: “Master, do you know something?”

As the Taoist priest packed up the fortune sticks, he said without turning his head, "From the girl's face, I can tell you're a very noble person. And from your fate, I can tell you you're destined to be a phoenix. You should have lived a life of glory, living a life of luxury. But unfortunately... your fate was changed."

Shen Miao asked, "What do you mean by changed fate?" Her voice was a little hurried.

The Taoist priest stopped what he was doing, looked at her, and said, "Your fate is very strange. You will have a great disaster in your life. After you get over it, your life will be smooth. But the first lot you drew did not allow you to get over it."

"What is my calamity?" Shen Miao asked.

"One is a real phoenix, and the other is a fake phoenix. The fake phoenix robs the real phoenix of its luck and blessings, and the real phoenix is imprisoned."

Shen Miao felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat. The real phoenix and the fake phoenix, could it be that she was the real phoenix? As for the fake phoenix, could it be Madam Mei? Madam Mei gave birth to Fu Sheng, and Fu Xiuyi loved Fu Sheng so much. In his previous life, Fu Ming died, and she also died. Fu Xiuyi should have made Madam Mei the queen. Given Fu Xiuyi's love for Fu Sheng, perhaps he would pass the throne to Fu Sheng.

Isn’t this what it means to have your life taken away!

Shen Miao said: "The Taoist priest is talking about the first lot, so for the second lot, can I survive the tribulation?"

"With your ability, it's impossible." The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "But you are lucky, you have a noble person to help you."

"Noble?" Shen Miao asked, "Who is my noble?"

"This noble man is destined for you. He is the fate of a fierce dragon. A fierce dragon is subdued in the sky, and a phoenix is imprisoned in a cage. He can save you, and you can also dissolve his evil spirit. If you meet this man, borrow his power, and the girl's fate will return to its place, there will be losses, and there will be gains."

Shen Miao asked, "Where is this noble man? And how can I find him?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "It is far away in the horizon, yet it is right before our eyes."

This is why I don't want to say more. Shen Miao's eyes flickered, and she asked again: "I have another question. Ordinary people can only draw one lot, but why do I have two lots? Is this the will of heaven?"

She was reborn, and every time she thought about it, she always felt a sense of unreality. She was afraid that one day she would wake up and find herself still in that lonely cold palace. This was all just a dream. Since this strange Taoist priest who came from nowhere seemed to be right, maybe he knew something.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as flattering dogs. The two lots you drew were made by someone for you."
