Chapter 706 Fortune Telling (3)
"Someone?" Shen Miao grasped the key point in the Taoist's words: "Who is that person?"
"It's someone who owes you a great deal." The Taoist priest stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said, "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed. I and the young lady have already revealed too much today. If I continue, I will lose my fortune. Young lady, please don't ask any more. Remember: the past is like a dream, don't dwell on it. When adversity is over, good fortune will come, and purple qi will come from the east."
After saying this, he raised his whisk and strode away singing.
Shen Miao stood there in a daze until Jingzhe and Guyu came over. Jingzhe said, "This is so weird. I don't know where it comes from. Is there no one in charge of this Putuo Temple?"
Shen Miao felt that she had glimpsed some secrets, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Xueyan and Luo Tan came out from inside.
Luo Tan was holding a small basket, on top of which was a bunch of purses tied together with red strings. He said with a smile, "Little cousin, let's go and hang the red strings. Why did you fall behind?"
Luo Xueyan also said, "I just heard that there was a great master giving a lecture in the Zen room, and I wanted to ask you to come and listen, but when I turned around, I saw you behind me. I don't know what kept you waiting for so long. Do you still want to go and listen now?"
Shen Miao had just listened to the Taoist priest's conversation, and her mind was extremely confused. How could she still have the mind to listen to the monk's lecture? She shook her head and said, "I won't go."
"Then let's go hang the red string first." Luo Tan was very excited and pulled Shen Miao forward.
In the Zen room Luo Xueyan had passed by earlier, the old monk paused in his drumming of the wooden fish. The young monk asked, "Master, it's already past noon. Didn't you say you'd be here soon? Are you coming or not?"
Master Guanzhen stood up from his meditation cushion and shook his head, saying, "I won't come anymore."
"Not coming?" The little monk was stunned: "Why?"
"She met someone else."
The young monk was puzzled: "Why didn't he come when he met someone else? Didn't the master wait for him here specifically? If he doesn't come, wouldn't all these days of waiting be wasted?"
"That's all right." Master Guan Zhen clasped his hands together and said, "She met someone she was destined to meet."
“This is cause and effect.”
Shen Miao and Luo Tan went outside and came to the tree of bond.
The tree of fate itself is a huge osmanthus tree, which is extremely thick. However, now its branches and twigs are almost invisible, and are all covered by the purses hung with red strings on the tree.
Luo Ling and Shen Qiu didn't come after all, as this was for women. Luo Tan scooped up a handful of red string and handed it to Shen Miao, saying, "Little cousin, write your name on the purse and throw it up on the tree. If it gets caught, it means Yue Lao heard your prayers and will arrange a marriage for you." He then stuffed another handful of red string into Shen Miao's hands and said, "Little cousin, take more. The more you take and throw them up, the greater the chance of getting one."
Shen Miao watched in silence as Luo Tang enthusiastically wrote his name on all the remaining purses. But girls probably believed in this, so why not if it could bring good luck? Luo Xueyan also said, "Jiaojiao, write some and throw them up, don't be afraid."
Shen Miao looked at the basket of red ropes with some pickiness, but she couldn't argue with Luo Tan and Luo Xueyan, so she had to pick one for herself and wrote her name on the purse.
Seeing this, Luo Tan said, "My little cousin, you took too few. This one won't be enough to throw up. Take a few more, and these will be enough."
Luo Xueyan also said: "Jiaojiao, one is not enough."
Shen Miao felt that she didn’t want to throw away any of them, and at the moment she was still thinking over and over again about the Taoist’s words, so how could she have any other thoughts to do this? So she just threw them away casually.
