"Since you're selling talismans, I'll take them all." Lin Luoxue smiled when she saw the talismans in Su Chen's hand, took them all, stuffed a hundred yuan into his hand, and generously said, "Keep the change."
When the monk saw Su Chen selling talismans, his face darkened, and he cursed, "Damn it! I didn't check the almanac before I went out today, and I still managed to run into a fellow practitioner."
"What the hell is this bad luck?"
"My God? Are monks this arrogant these days?" Yu Hao was incredulous. Although he had seen negative news about monks online, he had never heard of them being this arrogant!
This is simply treating tourists like they're not human!
"What a load of crap, a monk!" Xiao Haiyang blurted out. "These people are just a bunch of thugs. They have nowhere else to make money, so they shave their heads, put on some tattered clothes, and come here to swindle and cheat."
"Here you go, these are yours." Lin Luoxue handed out one talisman to each person.
They even thoughtfully folded it into a triangle for Roes to place close to her body.
Looking at Lin Luoxue's slightly ambiguous gaze.
Roes was a little bewildered.
Not everyone has it, right?
Why are you looking at me like that?
However, Lin Luoxue did not explain to her. After dividing the goods, she put the extras into her handbag.
Keep it for later.
Xiao Haiyang looked at the talisman in his hand and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
But he couldn't remember where he had seen it before, so he asked, "Su Chen, what is the use of this talisman?"
"It's just a simple calming talisman that can help people sleep."
"A calming talisman... I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before." Xiao Haiyang scratched his head, then stuffed the talisman into his clothes.
If you can’t figure it out, think about it later.
This is his life motto.
Lin Luoxue knew what was going on and giggled beside her, leaving Roes looking completely bewildered.
Did I miss something?
Why do I feel like I'm a version behind Luo Xue ever since the spells started being cast?
...
After rejecting three potential suitors, the group...
We entered the temple.
Seeing so many people setting up stalls outside, I thought the place inside would be very luxurious.
But I only realized it after I got inside.
It's actually just a rather old temple.
"Dear benefactors, if you wish to burn incense, there is free incense available at the donation box. Please take as much as you like; there is no extra charge."
Beside the door.
An elderly monk sat behind a table.
The words "fortune telling" and "drawing lots" were written on the table.
It should be a 'sitting temple'.
Yu Hao was somewhat surprised to hear the monk's words: "I didn't expect that there really is incense in the temple. No wonder you kept stopping me from buying it outside."
"You have the nerve to say that? Along the way, you wanted to buy everything you saw."
"Are you planning to take all the stalls here home?!"
Xiao Haiyang felt a headache just looking at Yu Hao, not only because of his voice, but also because of his personality.
This guy would rush to buy anything new or interesting he came across along the way.
If he hadn't been holding me back...
He had already lost all his money to outsiders.
"Oh dear~ don't be angry~" Yu Hao smiled and took a few incense sticks from the front, handing them over: "Here, light some incense and pray for peace~"
Although the people did not believe in any gods or Buddhas.
No one would refuse a request for peace.
Greet people upon entering a house, and worship gods upon entering a temple—this is a principle that almost all Chinese people understand.
So none of them said anything.
After worshipping the gods.
Lin Luoxue, carrying her bag, sat down opposite the monk: "Abbot, do you offer services for matchmaking here?"
"I dare not accept the title of abbot; I am merely a temple attendant." The old monk looked up at Lin Luoxue and slowly said, "Fortune telling is fifty, marriage is one hundred."
Xiao Haiyang chuckled upon hearing the monk's words: "Fortune telling costs fifty, but marriage requires a hundred?"
"Aren't you saying that backwards? Isn't marriage part of destiny?"
"These two businesses are now separate," the monk said, before asking, "Do you tell fortunes?"
Xiao Haiyang shook his head: "No, I also want to know about marriage."
The monk spread his hands: "Isn't that enough?"
Xiao Haiyang: "..."
This old man is quite the businessman!
Lin Luoxue took out a hundred and handed it over: "Please tell me about my marriage prospects."
The monk took a divination stick container from the side: "Draw one."
"Here you go." Lin Luoxue took one and handed it over.
"Having tasted bitterness, one knows bitterness; having encountered sweetness, one knows sweetness. This signifies that after hardship comes happiness. If you are seeking marriage, this is an excellent fortune." The old monk handed over the fortune slip: "It means you have suffered a lot, and then you met someone worthy of entrusting your life to."
Lin Luoxue took the fortune slip, read the interpretation, and smiled happily: "Thank you."
Then he folded the slip of paper into a triangle and put it in his handbag.
"Any of you four interested in taking a look?"
Su Chen shook his head.
Whether this guy is real or fake, he has no intention of calculating this matter.
sometimes.
Living a little ignorantly can be quite enjoyable.
"I also want to have my marriage fortune told!" Yu Hao sat down, took out a hundred yuan, and took a fortune stick from it.
The movements were very smooth, without the slightest lag.
"The stars shine brightly, the river flows all the way, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, and after their tears, they go their separate ways, taken from the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
Yu Hao quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is something bad going to happen?"
"Don't rush, let me finish." The monk calmed Yu Hao down and continued, "This is a medium-sized fortune, which means that if you meet someone you love and want to be with them, you may have to pay a price."
"What price?" Yu Hao asked anxiously.
The monk said, "It wasn't written on the fortune slip, so I'm not quite sure either."
Xiao Haiyang looked at Yu Hao, who seemed a little down, and laughed, "What's wrong, Hao-ge? Judging from your state, you have a goal!"
"No!" Yu Hao quickly looked up and explained, "I was just startled by that last sentence."
Seeing that Xiao Haiyang still wanted to say something, Yu Hao quickly pushed him, "If you want to watch it, hurry up and watch it. We didn't have anything for lunch this afternoon, and we're all hungry now."
Xiao Haiyang was pushed over but hadn't said anything yet.
The monk simply replied, "You're not looking."
"why?"
The monk asked, "Are you named Xiao Haiyang?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?" Xiao Haiyang asked, puzzled.
"That's right."
"Everyone can see, but I can't show you." The old monk retreated back into the darkness.
"You're really something, sitting in a temple like this. Don't you want the money that's offered to you?" Xiao Haiyang took out a hundred yuan and handed it over.
To my surprise, they were actually pushed back.
"Don't make things difficult for me, I still want to continue sitting in the temple here."
"you..."
Su Chen stepped forward and interrupted Xiao Haiyang: "Don't make things difficult for the old man. It's obvious that your family doesn't want you to be scammed outside, and they've already spoken to him."
“This young man understands best.” The old monk emerged again: “Would you like your fortune told? I’ll give you one for free.”
