Chapter 54 I was born before you were born
The Ma family had never offended anyone, nor did they have any secret grudges. The disappearance of their daughter was not unusual. Combined with the characteristics of the son-in-law described by the Ma couple, Ji Weitang speculated that the problem lay with the married family.
After a while, Su Yiling also came back. He said that there was nothing wrong with the Ma family's feng shui. Such a wealthy family must have hired someone to choose the site and build the house. As long as no one brings bad luck, there would be no problems, and the people living in the house would be very lucky.
Afterwards, Ji Weitang expressed his speculation, and Su Yiling had no objection, so they asked the Ma couple who their son-in-law was.
Father Ma said disdainfully, "He's the youngest son of the Su family, the one that runs the tea plantation. The famous Su family. Oh, come to think of it, your surname is also Su, so you're from the same family, right?"
Those who do this business have some understanding of the circle of power and wealth, but at the current stage, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling cannot reach that level. When they heard that they have the same surname, they were curious.
Ji Weitang asked whether the two families had exchanged their birth dates for matching as they did in ancient times. Just by calculating Mr. Su's birth date, he could understand the outline of the matter.
However, Ma's father said no, because his daughter wanted a Western-style wedding, and the groom's family was old and had already decided on a Chinese-style wedding. Taking into account that the newlyweds did not agree, some of the etiquette was deleted, including the three books and six betrothals, which were all cut out, and the process of exchanging birth dates was omitted.
There is no way. The problem now may lie with the Su family. Ji Weitang suggested that they should first bring over the birth date and horoscope, or let her meet Su Yiling in person.
People who sit in high positions believe in Feng Shui. Except for serious matters, they will not easily reveal their birth dates. Now the two families are at odds with each other, so I can't go to ask for it. But I heard that the younger uncle of the Su family has been sent to the hospital for treatment because of madness. It is still feasible to go to the hospital to see him as a visit.
To put it bluntly, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling are charlatans. Their son-in-law is lying in the hospital crazy, and it is inappropriate for the Yue family to take two charlatans with them. So the Ma family covered it up and reported to the Su family that they were just visiting their son-in-law and asking about the details of the day their daughter disappeared.
The Su family agreed without doing what he expected. The Ma couple asked Ji Weitong and Su Yiling to disguise themselves as their housekeeper and assistant and sneak over there, so that they would have an excuse if they met anyone from the Su family.
Fortunately, there was no one guarding the Su family, only doctors and nurses.
During the visit, Ji Weitang was stunned as soon as she saw the other person's face, and then she suddenly grabbed Su Yiling's arm.
Su Yiling's muscles also tensed up in an instant. What they saw at that moment was not the life of Su's uncle, but his kinship. However, there was a kinship in it that did not belong to him, but to Ji Weitong and Su Yiling.
Feeling uneasy, Ji Weitang even wanted to rush over and ask why her daughter was in the Su family?
Even if both families have the surname Su and were born in the hospital, it could be a case of mistaken child. How could their child disappear and go to the Su family instead?
Ji Weitang and Su Yiling were so angry that they almost picked up Su's uncle, but Miss Ma's mother carefully touched Ji Weitang's cold hand.
The person on the hospital bed looked dazed and didn't listen to what they were saying at all, which made it easier for the Ma couple to talk.
Miss Ma's mother asked softly, "Miss Ji, did you see anything? Is the situation serious?"
One must be honest in doing business. Ji Weitang and Su Yiling could only suppress all their emotions and solve the problem at hand first. If they found out that their daughter was really in the Su family's hands, they would have to consider what to do so as not to put their daughter in a difficult position.
Re-deducing the fate of Su's uncle, Ji Weitang no longer had the intention to play tricks, and said directly: "He had a lover in his previous life... who was not a human. According to the agreement, after he died of old age and reincarnated, the two continued to be together, but..."
The Ma couple asked nervously, "But what?"
Ji Weitang's expression was condensed: "Strange, they clearly promised each other that they would never miss each other's fate, but the other party couldn't find him. It seems that something from the Su family stopped him."
At this time, the nurse suddenly came in and said that the visiting hours were over and asked them to leave. They could only go downstairs to continue the conversation.
The one who has a connection with Su's uncle is a female spirit, a very strange creature. She was born under the Bodhi tree in the temple, but she is not a Bodhi tree spirit. To be precise, she is a spiritual creature nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth near the temple, and lives in the Bodhi tree.
Such spirits will always be slightly favored by heaven and earth wherever they are, so her inhuman fate with her husband is also blessed.
But in this life, the other party never found Su's uncle. It was not until the Ma couple brought their children to worship that the spirit saw the daughter and suddenly saw the fate between Miss Ma and Su's uncle, so he followed her back.
The monster kept following Miss Ma. Coincidentally, not long after, Miss Ma actually ran into the Su family's uncle.
What Miss Ma and the monster saw was the uncle of the Su family, but what the uncle of the Su family saw was only the monster's face. He still fell in love with his lover at first sight, and the monster was eager to win love, so he directly occupied Miss Ma's body and got to know her.
After returning home that day, the spirit told Miss Ma about this matter in her dream, saying that her husband's fate in this life was strange and she could not get close to him. She could only rely on Miss Ma's luck to block him before she could get close to him.
But the monster's cultivation could not solve this problem, so she asked Miss Ma to contact the younger uncle of the Su family. As long as they got engaged, the monster would keep trying to make the younger uncle of the Su family make promises over and over again, so that their fate could be postponed to the next life.
All they need to do is to make an engagement, and Miss Ma doesn't need to make any more sacrifices. Once the engagement is made, Miss Ma can disappear for a short time, and when she comes back she can say that she has met a better person and wants to break off the engagement.
Without the monster, the Su family's uncle would not like Miss Ma.
Miss Ma found it interesting and agreed. Sure enough, the two of them were very close when they were together, but the uncle of the Su family was very self-disciplined and polite, like an antique that had traveled back from two thousand years ago. Only when he was possessed by a spirit would he carefully hold Miss Ma's fingers.
The plan went smoothly, but when the agreed time came, Miss Ma disappeared.
After listening to Ji Weitang's story, the Ma couple were so angry that they laughed. It turned out that she wanted to break off the engagement and run away. They had spoiled their daughter for too long, and she even dared to make trouble with such a big thing. She even dared to believe in any random ghost. What if next time it was not a ghost raised in the temple, but a real evil ghost?
Ji Weitang didn't have the patience to discuss things with the Ma couple, so he just gave them the address where Miss Ma was hiding and asked them if they had any other needs. If not, the deal was settled.
Seeing that Ji Weitong and Su Yiling suddenly became anxious, perhaps because of something urgent, the Ma couple immediately transferred the money to them and hurried to look for their daughter.
Next, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling began to investigate the Su family and found Su Yun. But at that time, Su Yun lived in the Su family manor and had top-notch food and drink. Ji Weitang and Su Yiling felt ashamed of themselves as they could not give Su Yun such a comfortable life. Even though they knew that the Su family had other intentions, they still retreated in the face of such great wealth.
Although the two had accumulated some wealth at this time, compared with the real rich families, it was almost like other people's pocket money. Ji Weitang and Su Yiling were stimulated. After a few days of depression, they thought hard and decided to earn a fortune for Su Yun. Not to mention compared with the real powerful families, at least they wanted Su Yun to go home and be financially free.
After coming back to the business, the first order they received was still from the Ma family, but this time the order was placed by Miss Ma.
They went to the Ma family again and found that the flower decorations everywhere had been taken down. Miss Ma was worried. When she saw Ji Weitang and Su Yiling coming over, after their parents introduced them, she immediately said, "Two masters, can you save Bodhizi?"
"Bodhi seed?" Ji Weitang repeated. Few people were called by this name.
Then Miss Ma took out an exquisite wooden box and when she opened it, she found a faint white Bodhi bead inside.
Ms. Ma said sadly, "I agreed with Bodhizi from the beginning that she would take over my fortune to get closer to my husband, and when our fate in this life is fulfilled, she would help me hide for a month. But I don't know why, she was with me when we were in Bincheng, and I just took a nap on the plane, and when I woke up she was like this."
After this accident, Miss Ma was at a loss and wanted to turn back immediately. However, thinking of Bodhi's repeated instructions, she suppressed her panic, put away the Bodhi beads, and carefully hid outside for a while until her parents came.
Originally, Miss Ma was reluctant to come back, but her parents said that they had found two very spiritual masters who had calculated the exact location and asked them to come over. Now that Bodhizi was in trouble, she might as well ask them for help. Only then did Miss Ma agree to come back.
The main reason was that as time passed, the light on the Bodhi beads became weaker and weaker, and Miss Ma couldn't help but have countless bad guesses. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She was afraid that Bodhi was dead. Bodhi had obviously come down the mountain just to find her husband. If he died because of following Miss Ma, she would feel that she had taken a life on her own.
Ji Weitang had not anticipated this situation, so she could only make an agreement with the Ma family and take the Bodhi beads back first. Perhaps she had been out for too long and needed the nourishment of incense and spiritual energy.
There was no funeral home at that time. In order to save money, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling lived in a rented house. Many things were difficult to deal with. Miss Ma was worried about Bodhi, so she went with them and also dragged her mother along, saying that they could go to the temple to fulfill their vows.
When they arrived at the temple where they had prayed for amulets, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling took the Bodhi beads directly to the largest Bodhi tree on the mountain. The tree was too big, and after years of renovation, the temple could no longer include it, but many people came to make wishes, and the branches were hung with red silk.
The Bodhi beads floated towards the Bodhi tree, and the whole tree glowed faintly. Then a very faint shadow emerged and said thank you to Ji Weitang, Su Yiling and Miss Ma.
Miss Ma could no longer see the bodhi seed. She heard it from Ji Weitang. Then she said, "No need to thank me. I didn't help much. Are you okay?"
"I can't say it's okay. It seems like I lost the game." Bodhizi smiled bitterly.
Ji Weitang frowned: "What exactly happened? Didn't you only extend the fate of the young master of the Su family in the next life?"
When checking the face of Su's uncle, Ji Weitang had already seen his marriage destiny. There was only one right person, but that right person would not come to fruition in this life. He would live out his life alone until they meet again in the next life.
Bodhizi shook his head: "I didn't understand before. Why did I not find him no matter what, even though we agreed to meet in the next life? Later I found out that the Su family had put up protection, and even a monster like me was blocked directly. They would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."
Now Ji Weitong and Su Yiling have studied the Su family and know about their feng shui problems. How should I put it? They seem to be very afraid of death and have put up layer upon layer of protection.
Not to mention that Su Yun was taken away specifically to borrow luck and ward off evil spirits, there were also formations, feng shui arrangements, and things to stabilize fate. If a family only made one of these, they would be lucky, but the Su family piled up one after another.
To stabilize one's fate means not to accept any connection other than the right time, right place and right people. The younger uncle of the Su family was reincarnated and brought his own marriage, which was not allowed in the current trend of the Su family. However, the formation could not sense the danger, so it did not choose to break it, but just hid it.
Bodhizi could not find any trace of her husband. According to the agreement, he had been reincarnated long ago, and they should have met and known each other.
Later, she met Miss Ma. She foresaw that Miss Ma had a very shallow relationship with Su's uncle, and that she was the one who connected them, so she followed her regardless of the cause and effect.
Finally meeting her husband, Bodhizi didn't actually find too many problems, because after meeting her, their vows were still valid, and the Su family's uncle did fall in love with her at first sight, which showed that fate was functioning normally.
Bodhizi thought at the time that perhaps the two of them were destined to experience such twists and turns, after all, it was impossible for everything to go smoothly in every life.
Without Miss Ma as a contact, she could not get close to her husband. Even if Bodhizi wanted to appear in her true form to renew her relationship with her husband, it would still be difficult. So she begged Miss Ma to help her set up an engagement. As long as they made another vow to consolidate their fate, she would not ask for a lifelong companionship. She had waited for so many years, and she could wait for another lifetime.
Everything went according to plan, and soon it was time to talk about marriage. The Su family's uncle had an idea in his heart, which was to get married as soon as possible. He didn't know the cause and effect of his previous life, but he engraved the marriage vows in his soul.
Perhaps the repeated reincarnations have made him understand that if he wants to stay with his lover forever, he should get married as soon as possible when he meets him and report it to heaven and earth to avoid any more trouble.
However, since entering the Su family, Bodhizi felt something was wrong. Her cultivation was not low. She was a spirit that could love humans for generations, and was blessed by incense and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But after entering the Su family, she felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Bodhizi never knew what the problem was. As the wedding progressed, she became weaker and weaker. Miss Ma couldn't see it, and she helped her choose a lot of flowers and beautiful red threads and red silks. Some of them were made into amulets by the two of them for fun and placed in the box.
When the engagement was formalized, Miss Ma should have disappeared. Bodhizi found out that she could not accompany Miss Ma for much longer. She wanted to wait until Miss Ma settled down before telling her, but she died on the plane. When she regained consciousness, she returned to the temple.
"When I entered the Su family, I always felt that something was attacking me. I tried to resist, but it was like a punch on cotton. During the few days of sleep, I thought about it for a long time, and then I figured it out. It was probably the Su family's luck. My fate with him could not resist the Su family's fortune." Bodhizi said sadly.
No one knew the current situation of the Su family better than Ji Weitong and Su Yiling. They looked at each other, and out of resentment towards the Su family, they boldly asked Bodhizi if he still wanted to renew their past relationship.
Miss Ma couldn't hear what Putizi said. When she heard Ji Weitang ask this, she was stunned: "Ah? Hasn't it been renewed? I put so much effort into it."
Ji Weitang took the time to turn around and say to her: "Even if it is renewed, it may be broken by other things again. The Su family's fate is not so easy to continue."
Without waiting for Bodhizi to answer, Miss Ma waved her hand and said, "It's not easy to refill, but you have to refill it. I'll take care of it. You have to refill it as per the unlimited refill rules. Bodhizi, I'm sure you don't have any objections, right?"
The Bodhi tree swayed sideways without any wind, indicating that it had no objection.
Miss Ma put her hands on her hips and said, "See, I said I have no objection. You name the price. The man my sister wants must be there. Can the small Su family go against the destined marriage?"
With Miss Ma's words, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling were motivated to work. They officially accepted the order and decided to help Bodhizi and Su's uncle continue their relationship. Although the result could not be guaranteed in this life, there would definitely be a chance in the next life.
"In order to trick the Su family a little, my parents transplanted the Bodhi tree to another place to nurture the Bodhi seeds. At the same time, they went to the hospital to cut off all the Su family fortunes that were imprisoned in my uncle. To put it bluntly, with such a fate, he can be said to have no relatives in this life." Su Yun briefly summarized the follow-up.
Wu Yu read it as gossip and listened with great interest: "Oh, I was wondering why your uncle suddenly went to the mountains to study flowers and trees. It turns out that their fate ended. Didn't anyone tell him the truth?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "Yes, he ran away to the mountains for three years and met my parents. My parents told him the whole story and told him the truth that they hid Bodhi Seed and started practicing again. Bodhi Seed was seriously injured and could not be independent in this life. If he stayed in the same place, I am afraid they would not be able to continue their relationship in the next life."
Hearing that it was the messy things raised by the Su family that hurt the Bodhi seed, the Su family's uncle was so angry that he wanted to go back and smash the Su family. Ji Weitang and Su Yiling had to persuade him to stop him. Now everything he does is hindsight, it is better to think of ways to extend the fate. As long as the fate is enough, maybe when the Su family's uncle is reincarnated, the Bodhi seed will be able to come out.
Wu Yu agreed after listening to it: "I think so too. The Su family is so big that smashing things won't get any revenge on them. Instead, they will be beaten and put in solitary confinement. Instead of wasting time torturing themselves, they might as well work hard for the next meeting. However, under this situation, will the time and age of the two people match in the next life?"
Su Yun spread his hands and said, "I don't know. That's why I said that it's best to be cautious when it comes to the fate of life and death. Even humans and monsters can have accidents, not to mention these two children whose natures are uncertain."
