Baiyun Temple is located in the northwest of Mangshan Mountain, surrounded by lush trees and colorful flowers. Although it is outside the main city of Luoyang, it is very popular because of the effectiveness of fortune-telling here.

Near noon, a carriage with a gorgeous canopy and green curtains slowly stopped outside the temple. The curtains were opened and a pair of beautiful couples got out hand in hand.

The woman was wearing a smoky pink embroidered long dress, with a slender waist and a graceful figure. Although she was wearing a veil that covered her face, one could tell from her figure and temperament that she was good-looking.

The man next to her had black hair fixed with a simple jade hairpin, and was wearing a black silk robe with a cloud pattern and round flowers. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face and a noble temperament that made people dare not look directly at him.

Baiyun Temple is the most effective place for praying for marriage, so most of the pilgrims are young men and women. When they first see such outstanding men and women, everyone's eyes are attracted.

The young men looked at the young lady's back, trying hard to imagine her face under her veil.

The young ladies looked at the handsome man's profile, their faces flushed, and they even paid more for incense, hoping that the Bodhisattva in the temple would help them find such a handsome man.

Even if he is not as handsome as him, they will be satisfied if he is half as handsome as him!

Tao Ti looked at the shy and timid eyes of the little girls, then looked at the man beside her, and couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, I think you should be the one wearing the veil."

Pei Yan turned to look at her and corrected her seriously, "Ati, you forgot to change your address again."

Tao Ti was startled for a moment, but soon realized that they were traveling in casual clothes today and it was not appropriate to reveal their identities.

Just thinking of the name they had agreed on before, her ears suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and said vaguely, "Well, I will pay attention."

Pei Yan curled the corners of his mouth and took her into the temple.

The temple was filled with sandalwood and smoke, the sound of wooden fish could be heard, and the birds on the branches of the banyan tree were chirping.

The purpose of coming to the temple is to burn incense, worship Buddha, draw lots and listen to sutras. Tao Ti took the large handful of incense handed to her by Linglong. Seeing that the pilgrims beside her were worshipping devoutly, she also knelt on the cushion and worshipped the majestic Buddha statue.

As for making a wish, she closed her eyes and thought quietly, what should she wish for?

"I hope, well, Pei Yan can recover and live longer."

"If the first one is difficult to do, then I hope he can be safe and happy in the remaining time."

"Then, I hope I can live peacefully in this Great Abyss Dynasty, die peacefully, and then go to the underworld and reincarnate smoothly and return to the modern world!"

"But Buddha, you don't seem to be in the same department as the underworld. I don't know if you are in charge of this matter..."

There are so many people in the world who burn incense and worship Buddha. Every wish is presented to the tables of various gods, who randomly draw lucky spectators and make their wishes come true.

Tao Ti has never been very lucky when it comes to drawing cards. Whether it was the Weibo lottery in her previous life or drawing cards in the game, she always had a bad face and stinky hands, and was definitely a loser.

"Buddha, if you can bless me for these wishes, please do so. If you can't, I will understand."

After saying this, she bowed three times and put the incense into the stove.

After getting up, he found that Pei Yan had disappeared without knowing when.

Linglong stepped forward at the right time and pointed outside the Buddhist temple, "Just now a big monk came to see Your Highness, maybe there is something."

Tao Ti looked outside. Under the bright sunlight, under a large tree tied with red ropes, Pei Yan, wearing a black robe, and a monk in a gray robe stood opposite each other. The two were talking in a pleasant manner. The long door of the Buddhist hall was like a picture frame, freezing this pleasing scene.

"Lady donor, would you like a fortune? The fortune sticks in our Baiyun Temple are very effective." The little monk beside the incense table asked softly. He looked about ten years old, with a bald little blue head and a pair of black pupils that showed a cleverness.

Tao Ti came back to her senses, looked at the little monk in front of her, and resisted the urge to touch his little bald head, and smiled, "Yeah, okay."

She took the fortune stick box handed to her by the little nun, knelt on the mat again, and closed her eyes to draw the fortune sticks.

After shaking for a while, a bamboo stick fell to the ground with a "click".

The little nun picked it up for her and led her to the corner of the entrance to the Buddhist hall, where there was a table and a thin old monk was sitting there.

He had just finished interpreting a fortune for a young lady. The young lady seemed to have drawn a good fortune. She thanked the old monk with a happy face, and then left happily with her maid.

Tao Ti slowly took her seat and greeted the old monk. The old monk put his hands together, chanted Amitabha, and took the bamboo stick from her hand.

Seeing this, the old monk smiled kindly and said, "The ninety-eighth lot, a very good lot!"

Although Taoti was skeptical about this kind of thing, she was happy to hear that she had drawn a good fortune stick. "It seems that I have good luck."

The old monk looked up at her and asked, "What do you want to ask, lady donor?"

Tao Ti was about to say "intimate", and just as she uttered the word "intimate", she caught a glimpse of Pei Yan walking towards her. The last word twirled on the tip of her tongue, and what she said out loud was, "Future!"

Old monk, "???"

exquisite,"???"

Tao Ti frowned and said seriously, "Yes, I want to ask about the future. I will open a shop soon. I want to know what the future of this shop is like and whether it can make money."

exquisite,"……"

Princess, are you so career-oriented?

The old monk also came back to his senses, and said with some surprise in his tone, "It's rare to see a female donor asking about future business or something like that..."

Tao Ti could feel Pei Yan standing behind her. She didn't turn around, but just looked at the old monk and said, "Master, please interpret the fortune for me."

Since the pilgrim said so, the old monk interpreted it according to the fortune, "This is a good fortune, and the fortune is also good. If the female donor does business, she will definitely have good luck and wealth."

Tao Ti smiled with joy when she heard this, as if she saw a bunch of gold ingots dancing hand in hand in front of her.

After thanking the old monk, she stood up, lifted the veil of her hat, and revealed a bright smile on her face, "My Lord...my husband, I am going to get rich!"

Pei Yan had been feeling somewhat depressed when she asked him about his fortune. But when he saw her brilliant smile and heard her softly call him "husband", all his worries disappeared.

His delicate eyebrows slowly relaxed, and his thin lips slightly lifted, "Okay, congratulations in advance."

The two of them walked out while talking and laughing. Pei Yan said, "Ati, I have something for Zhan Ping to do. You can go around the temple first. I will come to find you in one stick of incense at most."

Hearing that he was busy, Tao Ti nodded obediently, "Okay, go ahead, I have Linglong to accompany you."

Pei Yan gave Linglong a few words of advice and then left.

The winding path leads to a secluded meditation room surrounded by flowers and trees, with its door closed.

Tea is brewing on a small stove, with the smoke rising up, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Pei Yan sat upright, his handsome profile had deep lines, not as gentle and soft as usual, but with a deep sense of awe.

After quickly reading the letter in his hand, he gracefully threw the letter into the stove, then slowly poured two cups of tea, one for himself and one to the side, and said calmly, "Uncle Feng, you must have worked hard on this trip. Have a cup of tea."

The middle-aged man in a black robe looked at the man, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness."

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp as if he was not afraid of the heat. Then he put the cup down and continued to stand upright.

Pei Yan was used to his behavior and asked, "Is everything okay with uncle?"

Gu Feng lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, everything is fine with the master. If everything goes well, we will set out from Hexi and return to Chang'an after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Pei Yan smiled and said, "That's good. I haven't seen my uncle for so many years. This time I finally get to meet him."

"The master has always been thinking about Your Highness." Gu Feng said.

Pei Yan nodded, and the two exchanged a few simple greetings before getting down to business.

Pei Yan told Gu Feng about his plan in Luoyang. At the end, he added solemnly, "Uncle Feng, you are the most critical link in this situation. I need your help."

When Gu Feng heard his plan, his heart was pounding and he said in shock, "Your Highness, this situation is really dangerous. You must be careful."

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Only in this way can we eliminate King Mu's influence in Luoyang and leave the position of Luoyang Mu vacant for our people."

Pei Yan stared at the man in front of him with his deep black eyes, and said in a steady and calm tone, "Uncle Feng, I don't trust anyone to take care of this matter, only you, I trust you..."

Gu Feng met Pei Yan's calm and determined gaze, and his breathing became heavy.

In the end, he couldn't refuse and could only clasp his fists and agree, "Your Highness trusts me so much, I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

Seeing that he agreed, Pei Yan smiled lightly.

The two discussed the details, and when the incense stick was about to burn out, it was time to separate.

Before leaving, Gu Feng hesitated for a moment.

Pei Yan looked at him, "Uncle Feng, anything else?"

Gu Feng pursed his thick lips, frowned, and said, "Yes, according to our spies, there are some unusual movements from Princess Mu..."

Pei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Princess Mu?"

"I don't know if it has anything to do with your Highness's trip. The spies said that Princess Mu had private contact with some pirates in the past two days, and she booked a pleasure boat this morning. She was so mysterious, and I don't know what she was going to do."

Painted boats, pirates...

Pei Yan bent his knuckles slightly and frowned slightly.

After a long pause, he said in a low voice, "We must not take this kind of action lightly at this time. Investigate, follow up."

Gu Feng: "Yes."

After saying this, he jumped out of the window like a gust of wind and disappeared in an instant.

Pei Yan gently stroked the wall of the cup with his fingertips, and a guess suddenly popped up in his mind. His eyes suddenly became sharp, revealing a dangerous dark light.

Soon, he finished the tea in the cup and left the meditation room.

When he reached the big banyan tree in front of the temple, he paused as he looked at the red ropes tied to it.

"This male donor, would you like to buy a marriage rope? The marriage ropes in our Baiyun Temple are very effective!" A little nun appeared from somewhere, holding a bunch of red ropes in her hand, and recommended them enthusiastically and sincerely.

Pei Yan glanced at the roughly made and not delicate red rope with a cold expression, not caring about it.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the young nun hurriedly asked, "Male donor, you are with the female donor who asked for the fortune at the beginning, right? Is she your wife?"

Pei Yan stopped.

The young nun immediately stepped forward, seized the business opportunity, and said swiftly, "From your accent, I can tell you're not from Luoyang. Are you really not going to buy a marriage rope? The marriage ropes here have been blessed, and all the men and women who bought them said they were good! If you miss this village, you'll never see this shop again!"

Pei Yan found it funny and asked, "Is it really that effective?"

The little nun said with a firm face, "It works, absolutely works! Do you see the red ropes hanging on this tree? They are hung by lovers who have found a good marriage and came to fulfill their vows!"

As he spoke, he pulled out two red ropes and showed them, "When you buy them, they are two single ropes. If you know each other and become husband and wife, you can twist the two ropes into one and tie it to this marriage tree, praying for an everlasting love and a long-lasting happy marriage! You can see that there are so many red ropes hanging on this tree, you know it must work!"

The little nun said so much, but she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated when she saw that the noble male donor in front of her still had a calm expression.

He was about to leave to solicit other business when he saw a piece of silver fall into his arms.

The little monk was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a voice like heavy gold and cold jade above his head.

"Two red ropes."
