Chapter 272: Gossiping Behind Someone's Back and Getting Caught

According to her usual habit of practicing the mental method, Dai Qing sat cross-legged in meditation. After a small cycle of circulation, only half of the true energy in her body was restored, and her strength also recovered a little.

Fortunately, the feeling of fatigue has disappeared.

Seeing that it was still early, Dai Qing performed another small circulation of energy. Her body did recover a little and she broke out in a sweat.

After taking a shower, Dai Qing lay on the bed, repeatedly pondering today's situation. She finally figured out some tricks. With the help of her mental method, combined with her physiognomy, she could help people trace the past.

Although it was a new skill that was unlocked accidentally, she also understood that she must have accidentally touched a trigger point.

Theoretically, since she can trace back to the past, she should also be able to explore the future. She just needs to wait for the opportunity to come.

Finding out about other people's past lives and providing them with warnings is equivalent to fighting for a glimmer of hope with the will of heaven. It would be fine for ordinary people, but if a big shot shows up, the cause and effect she would be involved in would probably be significant.

She got the opportunity, but she had to be careful about how to use it and keep it secret, not letting anyone else know that she had this talent.

She is not afraid of competing with one person, but it will be troublesome to compete with a group of people.

She understands the principle of committing a crime by possessing a jade.

After what happened today, she realized that tracing back to the past was very energy-consuming. It was better not to do it unless it was absolutely necessary, so as to avoid overdrawing it one day and not even having the energy to go home.

After figuring it out, Dai Qing stopped worrying and fell asleep peacefully.

When she opened her eyes, it was already eleven o'clock the next morning.

Dai Qing stared at the mosquito net above her head for a while, then she got up, washed, and moved her body around, only to find that all the strength she had lost yesterday had returned.

It seems that in addition to practicing mental skills, sleep is also a way to replenish energy.

After a quick lunch, Dai Qing sat under the grape trellis and read a book. Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

Dai Qing put the book of internal skills into the house and went to open the door. When she saw the Taoist Zhen You at the door, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is there really a Taoist priest? Why are you here?" The exchange meeting had ended a long time ago. Shouldn't this man return to the temple? He is the master of the temple after all. Why is he wandering around outside every day?

The Taoist priest Zhenyou looked at Dai Qing, stroked his beard and smiled, "Young friend, do you not welcome a poor Taoist?"

"No, I'm just curious. I thought the Taoist priest had already returned to Quanzhen Temple." Dai Qing invited him into the house and poured him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

"I went back and came out again. Hangzhou is going to hold a Taoist cultural exchange meeting. I received an invitation and was going to go. I thought of you and wanted to invite you to go with me. I wonder if you are free?"

There was really a Taoist priest looking at Dai Qing with a sincere attitude.

He felt very sorry for the unpleasantness last time, but he could not make decisions on folk culture after all and could only make suggestions.

But he was still able to say a few words at the Taoist Cultural Exchange Conference. When he received the invitation, the first person he thought of was Xiaoyou.

"Young people should go out more often and see more. It will broaden their horizons. There is no harm in that."

Dai Qing was stunned when she heard the Taoist priest's suggestion. "I'm not a Taoist. Is it appropriate for me to participate in your Taoist culture?"

Last time, she thought it was too simple and rushed ahead on impulse, and the result was, she was greatly disappointed.

"You misunderstood. The purpose of the Taoist Cultural Exchange is to promote Taoist culture to the public. It doesn't matter whether you are a Taoist or not. As long as you love Taoist traditional culture, you can participate. This kind of exchange is not a secret, and naturally there are no rules and restrictions. If you have time, it is worth going there."

I really have some sincere suggestions for Dai Qing.

"I see that you are usually relaxed and at ease, but people in our line of work should go out more often. As the saying goes, there are many different people, and the more you see, the more you will learn."

Dai Qing did not deny the Taoist priest's suggestion, otherwise she would not go to squat on the overpass every day.

But she has no plans to travel far for the time being.

"I'll think about it. I can't guarantee whether I will go or not."

"No problem. The exchange meeting will be held at the end of this month for three days. We still have half a month left, so you can go anytime."

The Taoist priest really said this, took out a business card from his bag and handed it to her.

"Here's the address. When you get there, just call me and I'll pick you up in person."

Dai Qing took the business card, looked at it, and nodded.

"I'll definitely contact you when I get there, but I can't say for sure."

Dai Qing didn't dare to say anything certain about something that was uncertain. If something went wrong, it would be bad to break her promise.

The Taoist really expressed his understanding, sat there for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then stood up and said goodbye.

"I haven't been to Hangzhou for a few years. This time I went there a few days earlier and met some friends. If you go, I will introduce them to you."

Several big names in the physiognomy circle have either disappeared or passed away, but there has been no outstanding successors. You are the most talented and the youngest one he has ever seen.

After seeing off the Taoist Master Zhen You, Dai Qing glanced at her watch and prepared to go to the market to buy some vegetables.

As soon as I turned the corner of the alley, I saw Du Aiqin and Lan Feng standing under a plane tree, whispering to each other.

"We live in the same building, and we see each other every day. When she has something delicious to eat, she would rather give it to outsiders than let us have a taste. She is so stingy. I was almost mad at her yesterday. I took my daughter to her doorstep, but she didn't even bother to give the food to the child."

"Well, food is fine, but look at their house, there are people coming and going all day long, it's like a market. It doesn't seem normal no matter how you look at it."

"He is a fortune teller. Those people are here to tell fortunes and read faces, but what exactly is he doing? How can outsiders like us know?"

"Bah, I think she is just pretending to be a fortune teller, who knows what she is doing. Otherwise, what can a girl of 18 or 19 years old tell?"

"Hmph, don't say that. I heard that girl is really capable. And she knows people in the police department. She has a very proud temper. If she hears us gossiping, she will be very angry."

Lan Feng said this, subconsciously looking around, and when he turned around, he froze.

How does it feel to say bad things about someone and be caught? She finally felt it now.

Du Aiqin looked at Lan Feng's stiff face, turned around in confusion, and felt embarrassed when she saw Dai Qing.

He rubbed his hands, looking as if he was about to laugh.

Dai Qing looked at the two of them and walked over with a calm expression.

"It seems that you didn't listen to my warning. People who talk badly will never have good luck."

"Ahem~, Xiaoqing, we were just chatting casually, don't take it to heart..."

Before she could finish, Dai Qing stopped her coldly.

"You've been caught and are still trying to make excuses. Your bad mouth is also a kind of karma. Sooner or later, it will come back to haunt you."
