Yingjie Mountain, Huoyun Temple.
"My little one, my master's time is coming soon. I am afraid I can no longer protect you. You have a big appetite since you were young. If you are alone in the mountains, I am afraid you will starve to death."
"I remember your uncle Qingyun is doing well in the imperial capital. I wrote this letter for you. When you go down the mountain and find him, give it to him. After he reads it, he will support you for the sake of our friendship."
In a side room at the backyard of the Taoist temple, an old Taoist priest with a pale face was giving earnest instructions to the milk ball in front of him.
It seemed that he was too weak, and he could not speak long sentences, and his speech was intermittent.
"Wuwuwu, Master, I don't want you to die. I don't want it."
Milk ball, which is what Taoist priests call Yaoyao.
At this moment, she was looking at the Taoist priest with tears in her eyes. She was wearing a Taoist robe that didn't fit her well. It was gray and had patches of various colors.
She didn't want the old Taoist priest to die, even though he was very poor, so poor that she could only eat five meals a day. Sometimes she was so stingy that all five meals were vegetarian.
However, he was her last relative in the world, and she had been following him since she could remember.
Thinking that she would never see the old Taoist priest again after his death, Yaoyao's round face frowned and tears fell like pearls.
"Yaoyao, don't cry. Everyone's life is predestined. We cultivators should be more clear and open-minded than ordinary people."
The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand tremblingly and wiped away the tears of the young disciple he had accepted in his old age.
Perhaps the deadline is approaching, he speaks more frequently than usual...
From the Taoist temple's subsequent handling of the matter to instructing the young disciple to listen to his senior brother after finding him.
Also, you can’t eat as much as you want like you do in the Taoist temple.
Children with big appetites are not liked by adults.
Yaoyao had been nodding obediently and coaxing the old Taoist priest, but when she heard this, her little face suddenly became gloomy and she muttered to herself.
It seemed that Master Uncle was not doing well in the imperial capital and he couldn't even afford five vegetarian meals. She suddenly felt a little conflicted as to whether she should go find him.
The old Taoist priest had no idea how his young disciple felt. He was lying on his back, suddenly feeling a little scared to death to face his ancestors.
By his generation, the Huoyun Temple had become deserted.
The eldest brother is traveling outside, and his own time has come, so Yaoyao is the only one left...
He glanced at the little baby who was as tall as the bed. This child's background was unclear, but the fact that he had learned some esoteric techniques could be described as terrifying. Even though he was young, an ordinary cultivator could not catch up with him.
He was so happy when he picked up the person, thinking that God took pity on his Huoyun Sect and sent a disciple with excellent qualifications to inherit his mantle.
But as he raised the little disciple, the old Taoist priest realized that his little disciple had a naughty personality and was unable to handle heavy responsibilities.
Perhaps it was because of his obsession, before the old Taoist closed his eyes, he held the little boy's hand and said:
"If there is a chance in the future, remember to carry forward our Huoyun lineage. If that day comes, remember to burn a piece of paper for me, so that I can face my ancestors with dignity."
"I will definitely do it."
Yaoyao nodded heavily. Although she was young and didn't know what "carry forward and develop" meant, she could roughly understand from the old Taoist priest's constant nagging that "carry forward and develop" meant - many pilgrims and a lot of incense money.
"Okay, okay!"
The old Taoist priest felt relieved.
With the promise of his young disciple, his obsession was completely dissipated. His vitality was like a tide bursting a dam, and his appearance also withered.
“Master!”
Yaoyao called out softly, but this time the old Taoist priest no longer responded to her with a smile as usual.
Her dark grape-shaped eyes were misty, and pearls fell down one by one with a "click".
......
Two days later, in front of Huoyun Temple.
After burying the old Taoist priest, Yaoyao was about to go down the mountain.
She was carrying a small package on her back, which contained a dozen large pancakes that the old Taoist priest had baked before he died, as well as some utensils for eating.
The small package was stuffed bulgingly.
Before leaving, Yaoyao kowtowed three times to the ancestor in the temple.
She did not close the door of the Taoist temple because she had taken away all the valuables.
The way down the mountain was a little unfamiliar to Yaoyao. In the past, she was always led by the old Taoist priest. This time, she walked on her own and went in the wrong direction several times.
In the end, we got down the mountain safely.
Looking at the busy road, a long-lost smile appeared on Yaoyao's round little face.
She had heard pilgrims say that the mountain was very interesting and had always wanted to go and see it, but she was too young and the old Taoist priest wouldn't let her. Now that no one was watching, she could go anywhere.
However, before that, she had to find Uncle Qingyun.
After all, the cakes that the master left for himself would not last more than two days.
She reached into her backpack and pulled out a yellow talisman, calculated the birth date of Master Qingyun, and used it to determine her direction.
This is the basic method of Taoists to find people. A person's birth date and eight characters correspond to the Tiangang Doushu, which is connected to the fate line.
One end of the life line is connected to the sea of rebirth, and the other end is tied to the body in the world of the living. When the person moves, the line moves, and one can find the person by following the line.
Of course, to achieve this, one must have a high level of Taoist cultivation. Although Yaoyao is young, he has mastered the Taoist techniques like a palm reading pattern.
This is also the reason why the old Taoist priest dared to let her go down the mountain alone to look for someone.
She slapped the yellow talisman on herself and chanted the spell:
"Every mountain is flattened, every land is shrunk, the Three Mountains and Nine Lords are in a hurry as ordered!"
A yellowish-brown halo appeared on her body. She took small steps and the mountains and rivers retreated. In just a hundred or so steps, she had arrived outside the imperial capital, dozens of kilometers away.
The reason why she didn't move forward was that she was afraid that her sudden appearance would scare people. After the journey just now, the yellow talisman on her body dimmed by three points.
Yaoyao put the talisman paper into her bag and was about to go into the city when suddenly the crowd in front of her started to make a noise.
"Help! There's a car accident, please save my wife."
The voice that was shouting was female, and it was filled with anxiety and panic.
The scene was noisy and chaotic!
*
Car accident?
Yaoyao's expression changed and she took small steps forward. She was small, so it was very easy for her to get through the crowd.
Soon, she saw the scene of the accident.
The accident happened at a crossroads, and the point of impact happened to be in the blind spot of the corner.
This area is a high-accident area, and something happens every now and then. This time, two cars, one black and one white, collided, and the front of the car was smashed to pieces.
Next to the white car, two young men and women surrounded a woman in her forties.
The man was wearing a neat suit and looked like a security guard. He was seriously injured and bleeding from his head. The girl was the one who had just asked for help.
The two men were standing one in front and one behind, and the woman who was surrounded in the middle had a pale face and her ankle was bent unconsciously, and it seemed that she had a fracture.
Yaoyao didn't want to care about this little problem.
She was about to leave when she suddenly smelled an enticing aroma. She had a small problem that made it impossible for her to walk when she smelled something delicious.
Yaoyao searched quickly and soon confirmed that the smell came from that woman.
"Ma'am, it's okay, the ambulance will be here soon."
Gan Xiaoying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at this moment.
She kept shouting for so long, and more and more people gathered around to watch the fun, but no one came to help.
She was so anxious that her hands were shaking.
If anything happened to her wife while she was under her care, given the tempers of the master and the young masters, her life would be over.
The woman was gentle and comforted him even as she was in pain: "Xiaoying, don't worry. Don't panic."
As he spoke, a half-grown child came over, holding a branch two fingers wide in his hand.
"Little girl, you are..."
The woman looked at the particularly pretty girl in front of her in confusion. The girl slowly squatted in front of her and looked at her... legs seriously?
Her family is full of boys, so she particularly likes little girls. Even if she doesn't know what people are going to do, she still looks very gentle.
However, before she could finish her sentence, the little girl attacked with lightning speed...
She didn't see clearly what was happening, and the severe pain came instantly. She couldn't help but groan.
"Madam!" Gan Xiaoying was immediately horrified and shouted, "Where did you come from, you wild child? You are not allowed to harm our Madam.
This little girl actually attacked the lady's wound. She is so evil and cruel. She stretched out her hand and pushed the person as she spoke.
But she was too slow.
Yaoyao stretched out his hand, and his palm hit Gan Xiaoying first. There was a "pop" sound. Gan Xiaoying couldn't withstand the force of the opponent's hand, and fell heavily on her butt.
Seeing this, the male bodyguards around were about to take action...
Unexpectedly, the woman, who had endured the severe pain, interrupted him and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't do it!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Although bodyguard Xiao Zhao didn't know the reason, as a bodyguard, he still had to obey his employer's orders unconditionally.
The woman stopped him, not because she was a saint, but because she could feel the tingling in her feet had disappeared. Combined with the previous situation, it was not difficult to guess that her bones were straightened.
How is this possible?
The little girl in front of me is only four years old at most. How can she set bones at such a young age? Who would believe it if I told others!
But it is exactly like this!
The woman was about to ask something when Yaoyao quickly fixed the man's feet with a branch.
She said crisply, "I have temporarily fixed your bones. Don't move around. Wait for the doctor to come and take care of it."
What cured it?
Gan Xiaoying, who had gotten up grunting at the side, was completely stunned when she heard this!
"Ah, sorry to bother you, little girl. I didn't expect you to have such skills at such a young age."
The woman obviously reacted faster. She curved her brows and thanked the man softly. As she spoke, she was about to take out money from her bag to express her gratitude.
Before she could do anything, the girl's next words made her scalp tighten.
"It's just a bone setting, nothing serious, but don't thank me so quickly, your troubles are not over yet!"
"W-What do you mean?"
The woman looked over in astonishment, and Yaoyao's big dark eyes were fixed on the gloomy energy in the courtyard where people were blanketing their bedding.
Smells so good!
She swallowed unconsciously, revealing two sharp little fangs.
"Because you're dying!"
She spoke in a childish voice, but her words made the minds of the three people present go blank.
*
"What nonsense are you talking about! My wife is blessed by heaven, how could she...could..."
Gan Xiaoying opened her mouth but didn't dare to utter the unlucky word. She looked like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, staring at the little kid in front of her with a bad look on her face.
"Don't think that I won't beat you just because you're young."
Yaoyao didn't even look at the person, but stretched out her chubby little hand and gently pointed at the woman's forehead.
Although it was a chubby little hand, the woman who was touched felt a chill running straight to her head.
"The courtyard is dark and the stars in the palace are hidden!"
"If there are lines on the root of the mountain, disaster will come."
She was a nice little girl, but she started talking nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth.
The woman was confused. "Little girl, what's the meaning of this?"
Yaoyao didn't answer, but moved her fingertips.
She pointed to the root of the nose, where the nose connects to the middle part of the face, and said, "The root of the nose gathers energy, so it should be strong and solid, but you have a broken line here, which brings bad energy and bad luck. My master once said that living people live long, but dead people have bad luck."
"There is evil in you, so I said you are going to die."
Yaoyao tilted her little head and said seriously, "But your marriage palace is upright and your children palace is full, which means you have a good fate with a lucky star entering your life."
"The yin grows and the yang weakens. It's more like an evil spirit has entered the body!"
A person's destiny is basically determined at birth, and it is difficult to change significantly unless a major disaster occurs.
The five Taoist arts are mountain, medicine, destiny, physiognomy and divination. Among them, physiognomy is to judge the good or bad fortune through the face of a person.
In physiognomy, there is an unconventional saying, which is that misfortunes never come alone.
What this means is that a person will not encounter only one kind of disaster, but often disasters come in succession, especially for people who are carrying a very bad omen. Not only will their own luck be bad, but their spouse and children will also be implicated, and no one will be able to turn things around.
But the woman in front of him was completely the opposite. Neither she nor her husband or children were consistent.
With the strong evil in her brows, Yaoyao concluded that it must be an evil ghost!
This is good stuff and tastes delicious.
That's why she changed her mind and helped.
"What nonsense you are talking about. I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, could actually cheat people."
Gan Xiaoying heard someone talking in a gibberish that no one could understand, but it didn’t matter, because she understood the last sentence.
Isn’t this just as those charlatans under the overpass say, “If the center of the forehead turns black, there will be a bloody disaster”?
Nowadays, scammers’ methods are becoming more and more low-end. They even let a three or four-year-old child come out to cheat people!
Don’t you think about it? The baby hasn’t even been weaned yet, who would believe her lies!
The woman obviously thought the same thing, but she didn't say anything.
The little girl in front of me is so different. She can't be an ordinary person.
Yaoyao could see the other party’s dilemma. Evil ghosts would not come out in broad daylight, and now she couldn’t eat them.
She still had to go find her uncle, so she thought for a moment and took out a yellow talisman from her bag. The fat boy flipped the talisman paper, folded it into a triangular talisman bag, and put it into the woman's hand.
"My master said that meeting each other is predestined. Consider this talisman a gift from me to you. It can help you avoid disaster."
"The talisman can only be used once, remember to come find me after you use it up!"
"I'm just... um... on the overpass ahead."
That is the end point of the destiny line, I think Master Qingyun is there.
Because evil spirits are not common in the streets, it is not easy to encounter one. Therefore, Yaoyao explained it very seriously.
Overpass?
Is he really a liar?
The woman shook her head and subconsciously tightened the talisman bag in her hand. For some reason, she suddenly had the illusion that this thing could really save her life.
As for the fact that they met each other by fate, the woman didn't believe it. She saw the girl looking at her with shining eyes and she couldn't stop swallowing!
Although she tried her best to hide it, she was still young and her flaws were revealed!
