"Master, are the marriage fortune-telling divinations here accurate?"
Mo Ling held a bamboo tube in his hands, which was filled with about half a bucket of bamboo sticks. If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be many words engraved on the bottom of the bamboo sticks, and the bottom end of the bamboo tube is painted with different colors.
An elderly monk, dressed in temple robes and sporting a goatee, smiled and shook his head. "Donor, marriage is not something that can be forced. Drawing lots here is only a rough estimate of your future marriage. Naturally, there's no guarantee that you'll encounter that so-called "excellent" lot when and where you want it."
"Ah," Mo Ling looked a little disappointed. She thought she had met an NPC with a hidden mission, but it seemed she was overthinking it.
"It's hard to explain the cause and effect in the dark."
The old monk with the goatee still had a cheerful expression. "Since you asked me for a marriage fortune stick, you can naturally shake it and give it a try. While I can't guarantee it will work, it might be helpful in the future."
"Mo Ling, let's try it first."
Xu Fan patted Mo Ling's shoulder and signaled with his eyes to the two people standing under the eaves. Mo Jingchun and Jiang Li were still watching the rain.
"Thank you, Master. We will put it back when we are done using it." Xu Fan bowed to the old monk with a goatee in front of him.
The old monk didn't say anything, but just smiled and shook his head.
This marriage fortune stick was just hanging on the cupboard next to the oil lamp in the back hall. Xu Fan saw it at a glance and took it down after getting permission.
The marriage fortune sticks look very old. The original colors of the bamboo sticks and bamboo tubes can no longer be seen. They are both covered with traces of time.
"Jiang Li, Jingchun! Come in, I'll show you something nice." Xu Fan called out to the two people who were watching the rain under the eaves.
Mo Jingchun turned around and saw the marriage sign in Mo Ling's hand.
The word "marriage" was in red, so it was particularly eye-catching, and Jiang Li naturally saw it as well.
The two of them crossed the threshold and stepped back into Lingyin Temple.
"Director of the Holy Library, look, this is the mission prop." Mo Ling shook the marriage in his hand with excitement.
Mo Jingchun took the opportunity to give Xu Fan a look without any expression.
Xu Fan knew it all. He took the marriage lot from Mo Ling's hand and said, "How about we all draw a lot. Let's see what our future marriage will be like?"
"I agree." Mo Jingchun expressed his opinion immediately.
"Yeah, me too." Mo Ling immediately responded.
Jiang Li stared at Mo Ling with a strange look in her eyes. Mo Ling turned his head back feeling a little guilty when she stared at him like that. "What, what's wrong?"
Jiang Li shook his head. "It's nothing. I was just wondering why Knight Mo Ling would be curious about marriage."
"Of course, I am a girl after all."
Mo Ling's face turned red with embarrassment. If it wasn't for her brother, she would definitely not bother to smoke such a thing. After all, as a female knight, she was very powerful and did not need anyone else's protection!
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, she also agreed.
"Well, everyone draw a lot."
As Xu Fan spoke, he shook the bamboo stick in his hand and then passed it to the middle of the four people.
They looked at each other for a few seconds, and then grabbed the bamboo sticks in the marriage bamboo tube.
Xu Fan swallowed and subconsciously looked at Mo Ling next to him.
The tail of the bamboo stick in Mo Ling's hand is red, which is a good sign just like his, representing that his future marriage should be very smooth.
As for the two people opposite...
Jiang Li looked at the yellow stick in his hand with a calm expression.
If we have to talk about cause and effect, her life is actually miserable enough.
A yellow sign represents an unhappy marriage, in short, it is a bad sign.
Mo Jingchun frowned. He had also drawn the yellow lot, just like Jiang Li. The four of them formed two extremes: two had drawn the yellow lot, indicating bad luck in marriage, while the other two had drawn the red lot, indicating a smooth marriage.
Does this mean...
No, no, Mo Jingchun didn’t think that he had chosen the wrong person. The yellow circle represented bad luck, and maybe they would have more hardships in the future.
Mo Jingchun is not afraid of tests. He believes that he and Jiang Li will eventually be together because she is that special person and this cannot be changed in any way.
"oops."
Xu Fan reacted quickly. He snatched the marriage lots from several people's hands one by one and threw them all into the bamboo tube in his hand.
"As the successors of socialism and staunch fighters for materialism, we should not believe in such illusory things."
Xu Fan spoke righteously, as if he was not the one who had just asked to draw the marriage fortune.
"Mo Ling, come on, return this marriage sign with me."
Xu Fan pulled Mo Ling and walked towards the window under the oil lamp.
The sudden incident did not affect their mood. As time passed, they gathered together and chatted. The rain outside the window seemed to be getting smaller and smaller until it finally stopped.
It was almost 6 o'clock at this moment. The Lingyin Temple where they were was located on the hillside of Beigao Peak. Seeing that it was getting late, most of the tourists chose to take the nearest cable car down the mountain.
But Mo Jingchun knew that he had to take Jiang Li up the mountain tonight, not only because of the meteor, but also because he had more important things to do.
So when he proposed to climb the North Peak at night, Xu Fan and Mo Ling nodded in agreement, and Jiang Li naturally had no objection.
The air in the mountains was very fresh after the rain. Except that the stairs under my feet were a little slippery, it was much better than climbing up under the scorching sun.
The street lights on the mountain road lit up one after another, illuminating the way ahead for those who climbed at night.
Not long after the four of them set off, Mo Ling "accidentally" sprained his foot.
After Xu Fan's "inspection", he immediately said that he would take Mo Ling down the mountain first, and then said with a tragic look on his face that the task of climbing the mountain would be left to Mo Jingchun and Jiang Li.
Because Xu Fan's expression was too exaggerated, Mo Ling lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter in pain.
Those who knew them thought they were going to climb a mountain, while those who didn't thought they were going to do something earth-shattering.
Jiang Li had no objection. He just told Xu Fan to take good care of Mo Ling. Mo Jingchun also said that he would take pictures of the night view on the top of the mountain and show them to them later.
So the four of them split into two groups, one continued to go up the mountain and the other went down the mountain.
After Xu Fan and Mo Ling walked all the way pretending, they immediately stopped pretending when they saw that Mo Jingchun and Jiang Li had completely disappeared from their sight.
They had no time to laugh at each other's exaggerated acting skills, but quickly rushed to the Lingyin Temple cable car to go up the mountain. They wanted to reach the top of the mountain first.
There is only one step left to the plan, and this is also the last thing Xu Fan and Mo Ling have to do.
Xu Fan sat in the cable car going up the mountain. At Mo Ling's urging, he opened the backpack he had been carrying since the beginning of the climb.
And placed inside were pink and white gentian flowers wrapped into a bouquet!
