71: Section 71
Bai Suzhen looked over and saw a lame, one-eyed Old Daoist sitting on the ground on the street, with a three-foot long blue cloth spread out in front of him as a stall.
On the blue cloth were tortoise shells, yarrow stalks, copper coins, and a yellowed old book with the words "Three Lives" written on it.
Seeing his boastful tone,
Bai Suzhen, who had been thinking of Su Mo, couldn't help but go over.
"Old Daoist, are you truly knowledgeable of five hundred years past and five hundred years future?"
Seeing a customer, the Old Daoist's single eye gleamed.
"Of course, of course."
"I can do divination, auspicious date selection, fortune-telling, numerology, and character analysis."
"Miss, what would you like to have divined?"
Just then, Xiao Qing tugged at Bai Suzhen.
"Sister, these diviners are fine for Mortals, but how can they divine our origins?"
Seeing Xiao Qing about to ruin his business, the lame Old Daoist quickly spoke.
"I already said, if it's not accurate, no money."
"Now you have nothing to say, right?"
Xiao Qing had no way to retort after hearing that.
"Alright."
"You said it."
"If you go back on your word, I won't let you off!"
"Alright, I said it. Miss, what would you like to have divined?"
Bai Suzhen thought for a moment.
"Character divination."
"Which character?"
"Su."
"Which Su?"
"The Su from Suzhou."
"What do you want to divine?"
"Where my future lover is."
"Alright!"
Hearing that Bai Suzhen wanted to divine the character "Su," the lame Old Daoist nodded.
He immediately opened the tattered old book named "Three Lives."
On a blank, yellowed page, he wrote the character "Su."
Immediately after, the old book emitted misty light.
The lame Old Daoist frowned.
"The 'Su' character has a grass radical at the top, which means he is in a place with lush vegetation, which is the south of Great Song."
"Below, water and fire coexist, showing signs of vitality, indicating he is in a city near water."
"And the south belongs to fire, and fire has a flowing characteristic."
"From what I see, your future lover should now be in a city in the southeast, near a lake, river, or large body of water!"
Chapter 78: Identity Card, Swordsman Family, Life Simulation!
Hearing the words "near a lake," Bai Suzhen frowned.
Near a lake.
Xu Xian?
No, the lover she wanted was not him.
Even if this fated relationship was destined, she didn't want it!
What she wanted was her Su Lang!
Seeing her sister's expression was a bit off, Xiao Qing immediately stepped forward.
"Nonsense, nonsense, you're just saying whatever comes to mind."
"What 'near a river, near a sea,' it's inaccurate!"
Hearing Xiao Qing say that, the Old Daoist immediately became displeased.
"How could that be?"
"I am known for my unerring predictions; there's never a time when my divination is inaccurate."
"I'll tell you the specific city right now."
After speaking, the lame Old Daoist directly held the Three Lives book in his hands.
He chanted incantations.
"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches turn the years, Yin and Yang Five Elements reveal Opportunity, the Three Lives book presents Heaven's will, good and bad fortune..."
However, halfway through his chant, the Three Lives book in his hand suddenly caught fire.
It was like highly combustible gunpowder; the entire book instantly turned to ash with a 'bang.'
Seeing the Three Lives book turn to ash, the lame Old Daoist immediately stomped his feet.
"My Three Lives book!"
"Such a huge loss, such a huge loss!"
Seeing the lame Old Daoist's book destroyed, Bai Suzhen quickly asked,
"Is there any more information?"
The lame Old Daoist replied with a mournful face,
"There is, but it'll cost extra!"
Xiao Qing heard this and immediately looked suspiciously at the Three Lives book, which had already burned to a pile of ash.
"You lame Old Daoist, are you trying to deceive us?"
"This 'Three Lives book' is just a trick you use to cheat people, isn't it?"
The lame Old Daoist cried out in injustice upon hearing this.
"Miss, you can't wrongly accuse me."
"I, Old Daoist Wu, have never deceived anyone."
"It's just that the matter this white-clothed lady is divining is of great importance; my Three Lives book couldn't bear such heavy Karma!"
Bai Suzhen saw this and took out a round ancient jade.
The ancient jade was overall yellowish, smooth to the touch, and emitted a faint precious glow.
"I obtained this ancient jade in a deep mountain; it's imbued with the Spiritual Qi of a mountain god, so it should cover your fee."
Xiao Qing quickly spoke up upon seeing this.
"Sister, I asked you for this ancient jade, and you didn't give it to me. Is it worth it for a vague, ethereal lover?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head.
She looked at Xiao Qing.
"You don't understand."
"It's very much worth it."
The lame Old Daoist, on the other hand, quickly took the ancient jade, inspected it, and then beamed with joy.
"Good, good!"
"This ancient jade is good!"
"I'll tell you now."
"The result is that he is in a city near the river, but because the Three Lives book was burned up, I couldn't see the last piece of information."
Hearing this, Bai Suzhen nodded.
"Good!"
"Xiao Qing, let's go!"
With that, Bai Suzhen was about to take Xiao Qing to leave the Yin Yang Market.
She could tell that the Old Daoist wasn't lying.
Cities near the river.
There were only a few dozen of them; she would just search for them one by one.
...
Linjiang City, Linjiang Spring Restaurant.
After sending off the last wave of customers, Su Mo concluded his first day of opening.
All beginnings are hard.
Now it was time to slowly manage the business.
Su Mo was very confident in the future operation of the restaurant.
With his culinary skills, he could surely make a name for himself.
After cleaning up, Su Mo went to the backyard.
Chun Zhu was currently organizing the luggage she had brought.
Because she came in a hurry, she had limited belongings, only a change of clothes and a quilt.
Su Mo quickly went over to help.
"Chun Zhu, just leave it to me."
"You can stay in this room first; there were already two beds inside, just enough for you and Miaoyin to sleep."
Chun Zhu felt a bit put out when she heard that.
Why are you calling this woman so intimately?
But Su Mo didn't notice the change in Chun Zhu's expression.
Instead, he busied himself putting things into the room.
Su Mo's original bedroom was very large, about fifty square meters.
It was more than enough for two people.
Xu Miaoyin was sitting cross-legged on the bed, Cultivating, her eyes slightly closed, and the oil lamp beside her cast extremely exaggerated shadows from her two large breasts.
After a quick glance, Su Mo looked away.
Afraid of being discovered by her.
He couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
Such a gem.
He wondered who would ultimately benefit from her.
