Lottery
As soon as these words came out, Xun Guang and the noisy Taoist priest both quieted down.
Yan Feiyu realized something was wrong and quickly turned his attention to Xun Guang: "What did he say about birth?"
Xun Guang: "Give birth to a child."
Yan Feiyu carefully thought about his answer just now, and then he wished he could travel back to just now to shut his own mouth.
There was silence among the three of them for a while. The Taoist looked at the two of them for a few times, then tentatively said to Yan Feiyu: "If you really want to have a baby, why don't you come to our place and try praying?"
After saying this, he thought he had glanced at Yan Feiyu's belly in a subtle way.
This glance made Yan Feiyu furious. He took a deep breath, and the word "get out" was already on the tip of his tongue.
"roll!"
The powerful roar almost stunned everyone at the door. Yan Feiyu was also stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw a middle-aged monk chasing out of the temple with a broom. Only then did he realize that the roar was from this monk.
The monk came running over angrily, picked up a broom and hit the Taoist on the head. The Taoist was not stupid enough to stand there and let himself be slaughtered. He dodged a few times with great agility and avoided being hit.
Seeing a few more monks coming out of the temple, he was outnumbered after all, but he still couldn't bear to let go of the achievement that was about to be obtained. He jumped up and down to dodge, while winking at Yan Feiyu and Xun Guang:
"Brother, I will withdraw first due to special circumstances. Come to me if you need anything!"
After saying this, he turned around swiftly, trotted a few steps, and slipped into the woods. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
The middle-aged monk who had been chasing and beating him was panting and holding on to his broom. He waved to the monks who came after him and said, "That's enough. Go away. Let him run away."
"What happened to him that you guys chased and beat him like this?" Yan Feiyu was a little curious, "Did he steal something?"
The middle-aged monk turned to face Yan Feiyu and Xun Guang, and immediately softened his attitude: "He is just a clown who often spreads rumors and harasses tourists outside the temple, so every time we see him we have to chase him away."
Yan Feiyu understood. It seemed that it was just the commercial competition between temples and Taoist temples.
"You two donors are here to burn incense, right?" The middle-aged monk smiled happily when he saw the pile of things in the two people's arms. "You two must not let that person ruin your mood."
As the middle-aged monk was about to lead the two people into the temple, Xun Guang looked at him inquiringly. Yan Feiyu thought that since they were already here and had bought things, it would be okay to go in and take a look.
After entering the temple, there is a large pond facing the gate. There is a sign next to the pond that reads "Release Pond". There is a bridge over the pond. After crossing the bridge is the largest building in the temple - the Great Hall. Most people will burn incense here.
"One of the two donors needs to come with me to ask for incense," the middle-aged monk said with a smile, "Why not let this female donor wait here for a while."
Yan Feiyu was a little absent-minded, and nodded randomly when he heard the words. He always felt as if he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have grasped something.
Just now the middle-aged monk called him 'female donor', but the Taoist priest clearly called him 'brother' when he ran away!
If the Taoist priest said this to Xun Guang, it could be explained, but he remembered that the Taoist priest said that he went to their Taoist temple to pray for a child but it was useless! Does this mean that the Taoist priest really has some ability and saw his pure manly soul through his current feminine appearance?
Yan Feiyu was very excited about discovering his blind spot. He looked up and wanted to tell Xun Guang to go find the Taoist priest quickly, but he found that they were the only ones left standing at the door with the pile of things being forced upon them.
By the way, Xun Guang and the middle-aged monk went to burn incense.
The temple was very big. He didn't notice which direction Xun Guang went just now. Now he looked around but didn't see anyone.
But he was a little impatient. He wanted to go find the Taoist priest and ask him right away, but he was worried that Xun Guang would come back and not find him, so he ran out the door, took out his cell phone and called Xun Guang.
The phone rang once and was connected. Xun Guang thought he couldn't wait any longer, so he explained, "There are too many people coming to get the incense. They are queuing now, but it should be soon."
"It's okay, it's okay," Yan Feiyu said excitedly, but he was afraid he couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, so he could only tell Xun Guang first, "I'm going to go out and ask that Taoist priest something. When you come back, stay where you are. I'll be back soon."
Xun Guang: “…Okay.”
After leaving the temple, Yan Feiyu thought carefully, and finally walked in one direction with some uncertainty.
There were trees on both sides of the temple that were obviously quite old, but not far from where they had just stood, there was a very hidden path between the trees.
Thinking that the Taoist priest just now left from here, Yan Feiyu walked along the path without any hesitation.
Some parts of the path are paved with gravel, and some parts can be seen as being stepped on by humans. The whole road is crooked and very difficult to walk on.
Fortunately, the road was not long. After turning a few corners, Yan Feiyu finally saw a building by pushing aside the branches.
Standing at the door, Yan Feiyu looked at the dilapidated appearance. Rather than calling it a Taoist temple, he would rather call it a dilapidated temple. Especially compared with the previous temple, the difference was even greater.
Is this place really habitable? Yan Feiyu questioned it from the bottom of his heart.
But since he had already arrived at the door, there was no reason not to go in. After preparing himself mentally, Yan Feiyu stepped in.
When I went inside, I saw that the house was even more shabby. In front of me was a gray statue of a god. Judging from her clothes, she was a woman, but I didn't know who she was. The altar in front of me didn't even have any offerings or incense burners. It was so desolate that it made me feel sad. Above my head was a pile of rags and flags. The wind blew in from the door, making them rustle and shaking off some dust.
This scene would definitely look like a haunted house at night.
Before Yan Feiyu could continue to observe, a voice came from the side: "Hey, you are here!"
Yan Feiyu looked over and saw a man walking out of the side hall. It was none other than the Taoist priest who was acting so sloppy just now.
"You knew I would come?" After his own deductions, Yan Feiyu felt that the person in front of him must have something special. Hearing him say this, he secretly confirmed his judgment.
The man smiled and didn't answer. He waved to Yan Feiyu and said, "Come with me."
With this scene and this atmosphere, if it were anyone else, no one would dare to follow this Taoist priest casually. However, Yan Feiyu did not think so much. In his eyes, even if this Taoist priest was standing next to the garbage dump, he felt that he was glowing with golden light.
He opened the curtain and walked into the back of the hall. In the empty room, there was only a table and two chairs. In addition, there was a couplet on the wall facing him that was almost fading. Upon closer inspection, it read:
"I don't understand the fate of people.
Let your studies and career take their course.
Love to watch or not
Yan Feiyu could not help but hiss. The disdainful aura that hit him almost suffocated him. At this moment, he was extremely doubtful. Was it not his own fault that the Taoist temple was in such a mess?
"Sit down." The Taoist priest sat down without knowing when, and pointed to another chair. "What's your name?"
"Yan Feiyu." He sat there obediently, and couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest opposite him. He didn't know if he had a filter when looking at the other person or what, but he always felt that the other person was very different from when he was soliciting customers just now.
"What about you? What's your name?" Yan Feiyu asked respectfully.
"Names are not important. If you must call me, just call me handsome!"
Yan Feiyu: “…” It turned out that his filter was too thick.
"Let's shake a lot!" The Taoist priest seemed not to see Yan Feiyu's expression, and he took out a lot tube from somewhere and handed it to Yan Feiyu.
Yan Feiyu picked it up and shook it, and a skewer fell off. He picked it up curiously, but found that there was nothing on it.
"What's going on?" Although he didn't understand these things, he knew that there should be words like "good luck" or "bad luck" on the fortune, right?
"Hey, let's just go through the motions!" The Taoist took back the fortune stick and put it aside. Seeing Yan Feiyu's face getting darker and darker, he explained, "Don't you all believe in this now? If I don't do it, it would seem like I'm unprofessional."
"Now that I'm here, why should I care whether you're professional or not?" After being fooled a few times, he began to doubt whether this man was reliable or not. "Don't do those nonsense things. Can you do it faster?"
"Great!" The Taoist priest slapped the table, then took out a QR code from his pocket and handed it over, "I'm willing to do business with someone like you!"
"Eighty-eight for one divination, no bargaining."
The payment was successful after scanning with the mobile phone, and the Taoist priest happily received the QR code.
"Okay, I think you're fine. Go back and eat and drink. When the time comes, your troubles will be solved."
Yan Feiyu was stunned: "That's it? Brother, I haven't asked you yet, okay?"
The Taoist priest said dissatisfiedly: "I can see it all, do you still need to ask?"
Yan Feiyu was not convinced: "What did you see?"
The Taoist priest said as a matter of course: "It can be seen that you can't have children!"
Yan Feiyu was anxious: "I'm not here to have a baby, I'm..."
"Hush!" The Taoist narrowed his eyes, stretched out a hand, and said calmly, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Yan Feiyu was choked. He had already leaked the information to Xun Guang a long time ago. What a secret!
"Ah! Young people are so impetuous!" The Taoist shook his head and said, "Tell me, didn't you come here to hear this? But you don't believe it after hearing it. If I say something irrelevant, wouldn't it be the same as what you said before? Young man, you must learn to see the essence through the phenomenon and carefully appreciate the deep meaning of my words!"
At this moment, Yan Feiyu just wanted him to speak human language.
"Okay, if that's the case, then make it more accurate. You will definitely get what you want before school starts." The Taoist looked at Yan Feiyu dissatisfiedly, "In the past, such details would cost extra!"
Yan Feiyu was satisfied. He was about to stand up, but after thinking for a while, he sat down again: "Actually, I have one more thing..."
"STOP!" The Taoist priest made a pause gesture and pointed to the wall behind him, "Don't you see? Marriage doesn't count."
This sentence blocked Yan Feiyu's next words. He looked deeply at the Taoist priest in front of him and felt suffocated. It was really mysterious, but why did he deserve a beating...
"Nowadays, people like to hear nice words, empty words, and polite words, but I will tell the truth." The Taoist priest said mysteriously, "Why are you asking me when you already have the answer in your heart? Do you expect me to give you money as a gift?"
Yan Feiyu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."
"Wait a minute!" Seeing Yan Feiyu was about to leave, the Taoist priest spoke again, "So you really don't want to worship our Goddess of Childbirth? Give it a try and maybe a miracle will happen?"
Yan Feiyu’s fists hardened.
