When they were descending the mountain, Ye Jinxin saw a very small and dilapidated temple, one look and it was clear that no one was going to take care of it. However, the front of the small temple was surrounded by many people. The bustling scene did not match the desolate atmosphere.
Ye Jinxin pulled at Bai Xiaonan with a face full of curiosity, ”Let's go over there and take a look. Why are there so many people?”
Bai Xiaonan nodded. It was rare for Ye Jinxin to bring up where she wanted to go, so she naturally had to risk her life to accompany her master.
The two of them walked around the temple while stepping on the rocks. Only after pushing their way through the crowd did they realize that the crowd was not coming towards the temple, but from a worn-out monk that was sitting in front of the temple.
”Master.” A young female tourist reverently handed a piece of red paper to an old man with his eyes closed. ”Please help me, when will I be able to meet my chosen one?”
This tone was simply too loyal. Bai Xiaonan couldn't help but burst out in laughter. She really didn't expect that someone in today's society would believe her.
Many people had discontented expressions as they extended their hands and pointed at her. A woman with a child in her arms even scolded her directly, ”If you don't believe in master, don't stand here and disturb the peace and quiet of master!”
How could Bai Xiaonan be so vexed? She immediately retorted, ”You all professed feudal superstition here and it's not shameful at all. Why can't you let me stand here?”
With her choking, the surrounding people became even more agitated. They watched as a great battle of saliva was about to begin.
When Ye Jinxin saw the aggressive approach, she quickly pulled on Bai Xiaonan, smiled guiltily and bowed as she apologized, ”I'm really sorry, this friend of mine is a bit impatient. I'm sorry everyone.” As she said this, she pulled on Bai Xiaonan's clothes and tried to drag her away. Seeing so many people helping her, Bai Xiaonan was actually a little scared, and after apologizing to Ye Jin in her heart, she casually mumbled a few sentences and followed her, turning around to leave. But who knew that just as they took a step forward, the master opened his eyes and said in a low voice, ”Female Almsgiver, please wait.”
Bai Xiaonan turned around, looked at the monk, and pointed at her nose, ”Are you calling me?”
The monk waved the buddhist pearl in his hand, then pointed at Ye Jinxin, ”I called her.”
Ye Jinxin frowned, why did you call me?
”Grandmaster!” Ye Jinxin smiled as he waved his hand, ”I'm not planning on doing anything.” She didn't believe that these ghosts were so magical.
The Master shook his head. ”I see that you know your place. It's a waste for me to give you this divination.”
Ye Jinxin sighed. She really wanted to say that she didn't want them for free, but seeing that the old man's beard had already turned white, there was no need to argue with such an old man. She simply bent down and said, ”Let me guess.”
The old man beside him picked up the prayer box and passed it to Ye Jinxin, ”You can just casually smoke one.”
Ye Jinxin pursed her lips and took one out. Then, she handed it over to the monk without even looking at it.
When the monk saw this, his expression changed. ”Little girl, are you the one that lost your mother when you were young?”
Ye Jin was startled, how could he have seen through it?
”You drew a lot, and it's aimed at the closest person to you.”
”What do you mean?”
”In other words, you are born with a life of death and loneliness. This lot will bring calamity to the people closest to you today.”
”Hey!” Bai Xiaonan could not bear to listen any longer, so she rushed out and pointed at the old man's nose and shouted, ”What nonsense are you spouting?” Who was born with a life of their own!? ”
Ye Jin straightened his body and blocked Bai Xiaonan as he apologized to the master, ”I'm really sorry, my friend is a bit impatient.”
