Chapter 157 There Are So Many Coincidences
Liu Cui was startled, and then hope and worry alternated in her eyes:
"Master, what you mean is... that he will meet the girl he likes in the future?"
She hoped very much that her son could still find a good match, but she was also worried that after what happened with Qi Xiu, even if he met his destined marriage, he would not be able to open his heart again, and would end up hurting himself and others.
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"Don't worry. Your son is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and his red thread has never disappeared. This means that when his true love appears, he will sincerely wait for her. Before that, just give him time and patience to slowly heal his wounds."
Liu Cuian calmed down and asked with some anticipation:
"Master, could you please enlighten me on how to know when Yuan'er's true love will appear? I'm... a little worried. What if I miss it?"
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"Three years from now, on the Ghost Festival, remember to take him to the night market to see the lanterns. You don't have to worry about the rest."
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Liu Cui bowed deeply.
She asked someone to bring another tray and said:
"Master, you are the savior of my entire mansion. This 100,000 taels of silver is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Yun Qingqing did not answer:
"I said the reward is to take something from your house, no money required."
"Master, please tell me what you want, and please be sure to accept this silver!" Liu Cui said sincerely.
"No need," Yun Qingqing said, "I only want the skull from the Buddha statue. As for the silver, if you must give it to me, why not use it to do some good deeds and accumulate more blessings? That would be your repayment to me."
This incident was special. Since she had taken the skull, she would not accept any more money.
Seeing her firm attitude, Liu Cui nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she secretly decided to do more good deeds in the future, not only to repay the master, but also to accumulate more blessings for her son and herself.
Yun Qingqing went to the Buddhist temple again and put away the small skull that the servants dared not touch. She declined Liu Cui's invitation to let her stay overnight, and did not let the servants escort her. She left the Chen Mansion directly with the girl who served as the attendant of Tianming Pavilion.
Walking on the road, it was already late at night.
There were few pedestrians on the street. The bright moon that had just risen in the sky shone on the elongated shadows of the two people, and it was cold and quiet.
The attendant girl was named Zhou Qiaoqiao. She was a little scared and tightly grasped Yun Qingqing's arm, clinging to her and crying loudly.
"Wow, they are so miserable..."
Yun Qingqing: ...
She endured it for a while, rubbed her forehead and said quietly:
"Why are you sticking so close to me?"
"I'm sorry, Pavilion Master, but I'm scared in the dark..." Zhou Qiaoqiao was scared and still crying uncontrollably because of the heartbreaking scene she had just witnessed.
Yun Qingqing patted her head:
"Don't you think the noise you make when you cry is the scariest on this street?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…Oh.”
The little girl pouted and held it back in aggrieved manner, and pressed closer.
Yun Qingqing couldn't help but glanced at her with a smile:
"If you really sympathize with them that much, how about you go back and recite sutras for them for 49 days and pray for them?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked up at her and blinked:
"Will this help them?"
"You don't believe me?" Yun Qingqing pretended to frown.
"I believe it, I believe it!" Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice. "Of course I believe what you say! Then I'll go back and copy the scriptures every day. I'll copy whatever you tell me to copy!"
Her mood improved:
"I hope that Miss Qi Xiu will be reborn into a good family in her next life and live a peaceful and happy life... Well, I also hope that she can continue her relationship with Master Chen in the next life and live happily ever after."
"But it's a pity it can't be the next life, because Mr. Chen would love to live peacefully until old age in this life... Well, but maybe Miss Qi Xiu won't be reincarnated right away... Oh my, anyway, I just hope that both of them will be fine, and that there will be a chance to reunite in some future life!"
A smile flashed in Yun Qingqing's eyes.
This girl doesn't know yet that there is already God's will.
I brought Zhou Qiaoqiao with me today, but just let her watch the whole thing. It was just following God's will.
Out of pure kindness, Zhou Qiaoqiao copied scriptures for others without asking for anything in return. After 49 days, her merits were fulfilled, and that was when her status as a good person was restored.
Three years later, the right time and place will all be determined, but as for the right people... it depends on the choice she and that young man make.
Yun Qingqing took advantage of the moonlight and sent Zhou Qiaoqiao back to Tianming Pavilion first.
But at the door, he saw Qiao'er, who was as nervous as an ant on the hot pan, and two secret guards from the Regent's Palace.
"Miss, you are finally back! I was so worried!" Qiao'er rushed over to her when she saw her and let out a long sigh.
She looked worried and aggrieved, her eyes reddened.
"Where have you been? This is the first time you haven't returned home so late... I thought, I thought something happened to you..."
Yun Qingqing quickly tried to comfort her, stroking Qiao'er's hair and saying:
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm back now. I just had some things to take care of, and I forgot to send someone back to inform you. I'll remember to tell you next time. Hao Qiao'er, please don't be angry, okay?"
On weekdays, when Xiao Changheng was at home, there were secret guards outside the Tianming Pavilion. Although the secret guards could not see the entrance, as long as she went out or made any movement, the secret guards would report to Xiao Changheng.
She understood that all this was for her safety, so she acquiesced and never bothered to send anyone back home to inform them of her itinerary.
Now that Xiao Changheng is at the border, the secret guards only need to report the situation here to the messenger at a fixed time every day, so she doesn't have to worry about these things.
But she forgot that Qiao'er was also waiting for her to return home, which made her worry to death.
Yun Qingqing gave her a life talisman and told her that as long as the talisman paper was not covered with black, it meant that she was safe, so that she would not worry all the time.
After finally appeasing Qiao'er, the master and servant returned to the palace.
Qiao'er waited for her outside for most of the night. Yun Qingqing didn't let her serve her anymore and urged her to go to rest. She also secretly cast a spell to prevent her from catching a cold and getting sick and to allow her to have a good sleep.
She turned around and went back to her room, but did not go to sleep. Instead, she took out the small skull that she had smashed out of the Buddha statue and pondered solemnly.
The skull is small because it originally belonged to a baby less than a year old.
She took out another thing - the baby bone hairpin that Yang Tong gave to Zheng Fangfang.
The Infant Bone Gathering Evil is an extremely dangerous evil magic, but it appeared in front of him one after another in a short period of time.
Not only that, the baby bone hairpin and skull belong to the same baby.
There are not so many coincidences in this world.
The night is as cool as water.
Yun Qingqing walked into the yard and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
There was a full moon in the sky, and with the blessing of the spirit gathering array, the courtyard was filled with spiritual energy. On the roof, two ghost dolls were standing side by side with their chins in their hands, absorbing the moonlight and spiritual energy.
"Sister Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Can't sleep?" Ye Xingyu floated down from the roof to her and asked with concern.
Xiao Yiyan followed behind her, and seemed to realize Yun Qingqing's solemn mood, and his expression also became a little serious.
Yun Qingqing took out a talisman, touched the heads of the two little ones, and said softly:
"Sister has something to do, can you guys step aside for a while?"
The two little ghosts looked at each other, nodded obediently, and turned into smoke and drilled into the talisman paper.
Yun Qingqing put away the talisman paper, walked to the center of the spirit gathering array, sat down cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
The moment she entered the interior, ripples invisible to ordinary people suddenly appeared in the originally quiet courtyard, and spiritual energy swirled towards her like a tornado.
