Chapter 616: Already Have a Connection
"Can't we just turn the stick tube upside down and pour it out?" Ah Man asked.
The young monk chuckled, "Lady donor, someone has tried this before. All the sticks that came out of the stick tube were blank."
"No fate means no fate. Buddhism is very particular about fate."
"The one who is truly destined to be with you will just wave your hand and the sign will pop out."
Ah Man was full of surprise: "Then that person from seventy or eighty years ago, didn't he have an extremely good fate?"
The little monk nodded.
A small vendor queuing nearby was immediately excited when he heard this: "It's not that he has a good fate, it's that his descendants have a good fate. Wow, who wouldn't be envious at that time. This fortune stick is extremely expensive. The contrast between the two levels is so great that even the storybooks dare not write it this way."
"My grandfather was only a child at the time, but he watched it with his own eyes."
"The escort was a bit simple and honest, with great strength, but he could barely read. His clothes were washed white. He said that he used to make a living by hunting, but later his wife gave birth to a child and hunting could not support the family. Life became very tight, so he found an escort agency to escort and support his family."
"This isn't the best fate, is it? He even lives in a thatched house, and it leaks when it rains."
"Not as good as us ordinary people."
"But the lot that came out said that within three generations his family would pass the imperial examinations, become prime ministers and marquises, and even become emperors! But there would be a catastrophe in the middle. If the descendants kept their original intentions and had no regrets, they would be able to survive the catastrophe and everything would come true. If they couldn't survive, everything would come to nothing. My goodness, when the lot was interpreted, the whole audience was shocked. Who would dare to believe this!!"
"A half-escort whose thatched house leaks, his descendants become high-ranking officials and kings!"
"Tsk tsk...but the fortune telling in Lotus City has never been wrong."
"Oh, I don't know if the fortune stick came true. He is a foreigner, and there is no way to verify it after he left Lianhua City." The man touched his chin regretfully, his face full of curiosity.
Lu Chaochao's eyelids twitched slightly.
"Passing the imperial examinations? Being appointed prime minister and given a title of nobility? Ascending the throne to become emperor?" Lu Chaochao murmured in a low voice. Why did it sound familiar?
"Master, please let me beg for something." The little monk was young and lively. He stood on tiptoe and looked ahead curiously. In the end, I couldn't help but pull on the corner of my master's clothes and beg, I really wanted to give it a try.
"What if I have a predestined relationship with Buddha? Master, please let me shake the fortune stick tube... People say that if you come to Lotus City and don't shake the fortune stick tube, it's a wasted trip."
The old monk said helplessly: "Forget it, just go and draw the lot. I'll wait for you at the city gate."
The child is young, his mind is not stable, and he is at a naughty age.
"Yeah, thank you Master..." The little monk immediately lined up behind the crowd.
Xie Yuzhou was eager to try: "Why not give it a try and see if our trip goes smoothly? If we get a good fortune, it will be a good sign." Well, he was just a little curious.
"Anyway, the city gate is still under inspection, so we can't get in for the time being."
Zhuifeng folded his arms and said, "I don't believe in this. You guys go and do the math, I'll be watching over the gods."
Zhu Mo rubbed his hands: "Awu, I'll go and shake it too. You wait for me in the carriage..." He also gave her a cushion to lean on and brought her some fruits and snacks.
A few people lined up behind the crowd.
Fortunately, the lots were drawn quickly and it was the little monk’s turn soon.
The young monk put his hands together and bowed to the Bodhisattvas in all directions: "Please bless me..."
He was shaking the stick box until he was sweating all over, but not a single stick fell out.
The young monk stepped aside in disappointment.
"Donors, you come and shake it... If you can't shake it out, don't be discouraged. It all depends on fate... Gain and loss are not important." The little monk also advised Lu Chaochao and others.
The monk who interpreted the fortune looked up at Lu Chaochao, his expression slightly startled, and suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
He bowed deeply to Lu Chaochao.
People with a high level of cultivation can naturally see that the golden light of merit and virtue on Lu Chaochao's body and the Purple Star shine together.
"I respectfully welcome your majesty..."
After these words were spoken, everyone stared at Lu Chaochao with wide eyes. The street vendor who had just chatted with Lu Chaochao widened his eyes. His Majesty? ?
Who is your majesty?
Who is your majesty? ?
Why call a five or six-year-old girl "Your Majesty"?
The monk nodded: "It is said that the Queen of the Southern Kingdom is only five and a half years old. I guess it must be you, right?"
Lu Chaochao nodded: "Master, you're welcome."
The little girl spoke in a childish voice, and there were bursts of hissing sounds behind her, and everyone gasped.
The monk pursed his lips and asked, "Your Majesty, I have a doubt. Can you help me solve it?" The monk looked at her and felt that his dream was fulfilled.
A few days ago, he dreamed of the lucky lottery from more than seventy years ago.
Today, the empress entered Lotus City.
Lu Chaochao nodded and didn't care.
"Is the Empress's surname Lu?"
Lu Chaochao pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Yes, my last name is Lu."
The vendor next to him exclaimed, "Surname Lu? I remember the escort who drew the best lot last time was also surnamed Lu. You two, are not from the same family?" The vendor said with a dry laugh.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the monk ask: "You..."
Lu Chaochao said softly: "My eldest brother passed the imperial examination and his grandfather was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."
Xie Yuzhou muttered behind him: "Second brother is a general, and third brother has won the top three places in the imperial examination again..."
The vendor dropped the things in his hands to the ground with a thud.
He was so shocked that his eyes went blank, and he muttered to himself: "It has come true, it has come true! I passed the imperial examinations, was appointed prime minister and made a marquis, and ascended the throne as emperor. Everything has come true! The lot drawn that year has come true!"
The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Lu Chaochao in astonishment.
I never thought that one day I would see the descendants of that escort master.
Yu Shu slapped his head suddenly and said in sudden realization: "Yes, I've heard from my wife before. The great-grandfather of the Lu family worked as a bodyguard to support his family when he was poor and destitute." This person is Lu Yuanze's biological grandfather!
Unexpectedly, there were signs as early as seventy or eighty years ago.
But at that time, no one took it seriously.
After all, the family is still struggling to make ends meet. Who dares to be emperor?
However, God has given the Lu family a chance.
When Mrs. Pei was burning incense, she met Master Shikong who made another prediction. Unfortunately, she still failed to keep the Lu family's wealth.
"However, unfortunately, we didn't make it through this disaster." Lu Chaochao said with a smile, and there was a burst of noise at the scene.
Everyone wanted to ask more, but Lu Chaochao had no intention of making family affairs public, so she didn't explain anything.
"What a great fortune this is! All of our descendants will become successful!"
"Oh my God, you are so unfair. Why is it that only one family has smoke coming out? Is our ancestral tomb not good? No, I will go home and repair the tomb!"
The onlookers beat their chests and stamped their feet, with envy on their faces.
"But if future generations don't hold on to it, it will all be in vain."
Everyone speculated that the children still became successful, but it had nothing to do with the Lu family. The only reason is probably that the descendants of the Lu family did not stick to their original intentions and made mistakes!
When everyone thought about it, they suddenly felt happy.
The smile did not disappear.
It only spread from the Lu family to the faces of all the people.
Seeing smoke coming out of other people’s ancestral graves often makes people feel even more miserable.
