Chapter 547: This sign indicates a great disaster. What does Mr. Bai ask for?
Dongchu believes in Buddhism, and Tian'en Temple is the largest temple in Dongchu. It is also said to be the most effective, and there are endless pilgrims coming and going every day.
After Li Suining and others arrived, they immediately got off the carriage. Since it was a temporary trip, ordinary pilgrims were not driven away.
"Please come this way," Baozhu led the way. "This courtyard is where you burn incense and make wishes. There are wishes for safety, children, and wealth. Over there, you can also ask for fortune telling."
"Sister Baozhu, I want to pray for peace. Where should I go?" Little Dumpling immediately became eager to try.
"Over there!" Baozhu pointed in a direction.
Bai Yu'an immediately instructed Fuxing, "High Priest, please accompany Princess Suining. You all should be careful with the incense."
Soon, Fuxing took Li Suining away.
Yuan Xiaonian then slowly spoke, "This prince wishes to pray for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
"Over there." Baozhu pointed in another direction.
"Miss Baozhu, please take our second prince to have a look." Bai Yu'an spoke again.
Baozhu looked at Bai Yu'an curiously, "Then... Master Guoshi won't come with us? What do you want to ask for?"
Bai Yu'an smiled and shook his head. "We only worship Buddha, not pray. I plan to go over there and ask for a fortune. You guys go ahead."
Soon, Yuan Xiaonian and Baozhu also left together, and Bai Yu'an asked Xiao Jingwen to take people to follow Yuan Xiaonian.
After sending everyone away, Bai Yu'an walked towards the fortune-telling place not far away. There was a medium-sized mahogany table with a fortune stick box on it. A round-faced monk sat behind the table.
According to Baozhu, such places for drawing lots can be found everywhere in Tian'en Temple, so there are not many people here at this time.
Bai Yu'an sat down at the table and said slowly, "Bald monk, give me a divination."
The round-faced monk was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Bai Yu'an with some excitement, but the person in front of him was completely covered by a black robe, so he couldn't see his face and couldn't make eye contact.
"What?" Bai Yu'an knocked on the table, "Are you afraid that I won't pay you?"
He took out a piece of black jade from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Don't worry, I'm not short of money. At worst, I can use this black jade to pay for it."
When the round-faced monk saw Mo Yu, he completely believed that the person in front of him was from Feiyun Sect.
He suppressed his emotions and asked excitedly, "Hello, I am Feiyun Sect's contact person in the capital of Dongchu. My name is Guiyuan, and this is also my official name."
"Is the Sect Master doing well in Dajin? How are the brothers in the sect? Are we going to activate the Dongchu contact network now?"
"Hello Master Guiyuan, I am Bai Yu'an, the second brother of your sect leader. Has anyone from Feiyun Sect come to see you recently?" In fact, Bai Yu'an already had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, Master Guiyuan shook his head and said, "No one from Feiyun Sect has contacted me recently. To be exact, no one has contacted me since I settled here. I almost thought... I was forgotten."
Beneath the black hood, Bai Yu'an's expression grew more serious. "So, why haven't Big Brother and the others arrived in Dongchu yet? What's going on?" It looked like he'd have to ask Xiao Suining to take a look tonight.
It wasn't good for him to just sit there, so he picked up the fortune stick and shook it, saying, "If anyone from Feiyun Sect comes looking for you later, please tell them that the Dongchu royal family might be in trouble."
He thought for a moment and lowered his voice to ask, "By the way, is Feiyun Sect allowed to enter the Dongchu Imperial Palace?"
Master Guiyuan shook his head. "Feiyun Sect's infiltration of Dongchu has long been stalled. I've only developed some forces inside and outside the city. However, the Dongchu Imperial Palace is difficult to enter, and I only go there occasionally to participate in rituals. What's going on? Is Dajin and Dongchu... going to have a war?"
"Not yet." Bai Yu'an understood in his heart that it might be too late to let Feiyunmen develop further into the palace, but fortunately, at least this place can become a contact point.
He continued, "Just keep quiet. Also, if anyone from Feiyun Sect finds you, please ask them what happened on the way to Dongchu. I'll come find you again if I have the chance."
"I understand!" Master Guiyuan nodded slightly.
At this time, a stick fell out of Bai Yu'an's stick holder. He picked it up and handed it to Gui Yuan, "Master, please help me see if it is auspicious or inauspicious."
Master Guiyuan quickly checked it and asked solemnly, "What is it that Master Bai is asking?"
Bai Yu'an had guessed from his expression that this sign might not be good, and what he wanted to ask... he didn't say it out loud, but just asked, "Just tell me, is it good or bad?"
"Mr. Bai, it's... a very bad omen!" Gui Yuan lowered his head. It would be difficult for anyone who asked for divination to accept such a result.
Sure enough, Bai Yu'an was stunned. He didn't expect this result. Such a disaster... How could this happen?
"Mr. Bai?" Master Guiyuan called out tentatively.
"It's okay." Bai Yu'an came back to his senses, composed himself, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, which temple is the one for praying for peace?"
Master Guiyuan pointed in a direction, "Over there."
"Thank you!" Bai Yu'an stood up and dragged his feet over there. He sold three of the thickest incense sticks, lit them piously, knelt down, and chanted a name with every step.
He didn't dare to have any extravagant demands, he just hoped that she could live well.
When Li Suining and Fuxing came out, they happened to meet Yuan Xiaonian and others.
Baozhu saw Bai Yu'an with her sharp eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Huh? Isn't that the Grand Master? Doesn't he... not pray to Buddha?"
Li Suining also muttered thoughtfully, "Second brother is praying for peace."
She looked up at Sister Fuxing and asked, "Is Second Brother also praying for the safety of our parents?"
No one spoke anymore.
When Bai Yu'an came back after worshipping, everyone took another walk together. Tian'en Temple was not only very popular, but also had beautiful scenery. However, Bai Yu'an didn't say much along the way and seemed to be in a low mood.
Finally, the tour was over and it was getting dark, so Baozhu led everyone back.
After returning to the city, Baozhu took everyone to a very authentic restaurant, and then returned to the inn. However, what they didn't expect was that the inn was surrounded.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xiaonian couldn't speak in this situation, so Bai Yu'an had to speak for him. He asked in a slightly cold tone, "Miss Baozhu, didn't your prince say that he had already booked this inn and even made arrangements? What's the situation now?"
Baozhu was clearly confused and hurriedly apologized to everyone, "Don't be angry, Second Prince. There must be some misunderstanding. I have a token left by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'll go ask him right away."
She didn't dare to delay and immediately went to ask someone.
Bai Yu'an whispered to Xiao Jingwen, "Go over and take a look."
"Okay!" Xiao Jingwen quickly caught up with Baozhu.
