Chapter 986 Dharma Fate (6)
When Xie Jingxing and his group arrived at the hall, Taoist Chi Yan was about to remove the jeweled eyes of a crane from a vase and asked Hui Xiang, "Can I take this with me?"
"Master Chiyan!" Luo Tan shouted as soon as he saw him.
When Chi Yan saw that it was her, he smiled and said, "Miss Luo, it's been a long time."
Luo Tan pondered in his heart that it had clearly not been long, but he could not care about anything else at the moment, so he said: "You came here, did you know that my little cousin was in trouble, and came here specifically to change her fate?" Although Luo Tan felt that this Taoist Chi Yan was very difficult, he seemed to have some real skills, otherwise Shen Miao would not have trusted him so much.
Taoist Chi Yan looked at the silent Xie Jingxing behind Luo Tan and said with a smile, "I can't change fate, I can only tell it. Young man, what do you think?"
"I don't believe in the Way of Heaven." Xie Jingxing said.
"The Way of Heaven is inherently unreliable, so why should humans persist in seeking answers from it?" Taoist Priest Chi Yan shook his head and said, "This lady's fate is unique, unfathomable to others. It's entirely up to her own choices. You and I can't do anything about it."
Luo Tan didn't understand Taoist Chi Yan's mysterious words, so he hurriedly asked, "Master, what should my little cousin do now?"
"Is the spiritual herb I gave her still there?" asked Taoist Chi Yan.
"Huh?" Luo Tan was puzzled. "When we returned, the prince's poison had already been cured. Naturally, the herb was useless. I wonder where my cousin put it."
"I think I know!" Jingzhe said, and led everyone to Shen Miao's room. Sure enough, they found a dusty box under the dressing table. When they opened it, they saw a herb that looked nothing special lying inside.
Luo Tan's eyes were sharp, and he said, "That's it!"
"Let's fry it." Chi Yan stroked his beard.
"Wait." Xie Jingxing looked at the strange Taoist priest: "Why should I believe you?"
"You may not believe me, but you have no other choice." Taoist Chi Yan sighed deeply. "This herb was found by this lady, but when I first found it, I said it was in vain. Even without this herb, you would still be safe. There is no such disaster in your destiny. Her actions are in vain."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"But it wasn't all in vain." The strange Taoist priest's face showed some relief again. "Those who love others will always love them, and those who save others will always be saved. If she had been even a little dishonest or perfunctory back in the valley, she wouldn't have obtained this magical herb, and wouldn't be where she is today. This magical herb was given in the name of saving you, but in fact it was saving her. She sacrificed for you, but in fact she was saving herself!"
Luo Tan, however, had now caught a glimpse of something and asked, "What you're saying is, you knew all along that this magical herb wouldn't be used on the prince, but on my little cousin. You predicted that my little cousin would face a life-or-death crisis, so you asked her to exchange the herb for your own benefit."
The strange Taoist priest looked at Luo Tan and said with a smile: "This young man is teachable."
Xie Jingxing stared at him: "You want her to be a herbal farmer?"
There was murderous intent in his eyes. The Taoist took a step back and hid behind Gao Yang. He coughed twice and said, "She has this calamity in her life, and I have minimized it. Compared to risking her life, isn't being a herbal farmer much easier?"
"But why hasn't she woken up yet?" Gao Yang wondered. "I'm also a doctor. I've examined her symptoms, but I can't find the source. She doesn't seem to be ill. She should have woken up today, but she hasn't woken up yet. Why is that?"
The Taoist said, "I said this is a calamity destined for her life."
"What's this about robbery? It's really confusing." Luo Tan said, "Why don't you just tell us directly, when will my little cousin wake up after eating that herb?"
Chi Yan smiled and said, "That herb is not for her to eat, but for the other injured person."
Could the other injured person be Pei Lang?
Xie Jing Xing whispered, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I can kill you right now."
"The anger is too strong." Chi Yan shook his head: "That man gave up his life for Madam, but it was due to some entanglement in fate. This Madam obtained the herbs, which just happened to settle this debt."
"Then what about my sister-in-law?" Ji Yushu asked.
The strange Taoist looked at Shen Miao who was lying on the bed. She looked calm, as if she was asleep, but her face was pale, which gave her a sense of unreality.
"She picked out the bugs in my valley for the red sleeve grass that covered my mountain, but she couldn't pick out the bugs in her own heart."
"This disaster is both a blessing and a misfortune for her."
"I have met her three times and have been concerned about her for two dynasties. This last meeting with her is just for this fate."
"Nothing in the world is perfect. There are regrets and unwillingness. She wanted to get an answer, but no one told her." The strange Taoist narrowed his eyes.
"Now, she has found the way. The answer she seeks is at hand. No one can help her. Not you, not her, not me."
"So, wait patiently." The Taoist looked at Xie Jingxing.
"That's your destiny."
