Chapter 241: amulet
Chapter 241 Amulet
Xia Guoshi's voice was like a breeze: "Bring the eight characters."
Abbot Kongji quickly handed over the birthday note given by Li Lei. He wanted to ask Master Xia if he needed to see the girl's photo, but he felt it was unnecessary - just now, Master Xia had seen the girl in person in the dark, so what if he didn't want to see the photo? He must be very aware of it.
He watched Master Xia unfold the note, his smooth and flowing movements pleasing to the eye.
Xia Guoshi calculated with his fingers and said quietly to Abbot Kongji: "Step back."
Abbot Kongji didn’t dare to ask any more questions and stepped back respectfully.
The door was carefully closed from the outside.
Xia Guoshi put the note aside, took the pen and paper from the desk, and gently wrote another birth date with his long white fingers. Combined with the girl's face, a bunch of calculations were drawn.
for a long time.
His pen stopped, and a look of sadness and joy appeared on his calm face. He whispered to himself: "Sister... do you know why your father named you 'Ling'? You Finally home."
Ling means Bai Ling, born towards death and continuing to worry about it.
The fate of the Xia family is too special. A family that can penetrate the world will inevitably suffer punishment from heaven and earth. Every few hundred years, a "phoenix" will appear in the family. The orphans and widows are punished and their fate is bleak. Only "nirvana" may be able to solve it. .
However, the matter of "Nirvana" only exists in legends.
In the family, no one with Huang Ming has ever truly achieved nirvana. Usually, they die miserably and are never heard from again.
Back then, his sister was destined to be a phoenix when she was born. In order to avoid mutual conflict, his father had no choice but to reluctantly abandon her. From then on, the family never received any news about her, but her father always said that if there was a fate, she would return to nirvana and reunite with them. However, even my father couldn't believe this slim hope.
Now, she finally appears.
It is already the second life. Is this considered nirvana successful?
A gratified smile appeared on the corners of Xia Guoshi's Qingjun lips. He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the smile had disappeared and his calm expression resumed. He lit a candle and put the piece of paper filled with calculations and Xia Ling's birth date on it. After a while, the dancing flames swallowed up the paper without leaving any trace.
He opened the door, called Abbot Kongji in, and gave a few instructions.
Li Lei waited in the Zen room for a long time until Abbot Kongji opened the door and came in, telling him that the master wanted to see him.
Li Lei originally thought that he would see an enigmatic old man with white beard and hair, but he did not expect that the man in white in front of him was so young, and his wind-like eyes did not reflect any emotion.
He looked at Li Lei: "What is your relationship with that girl?"
Li Lei said: "She is my woman."
“Do you want to save her?”
Li Lei suddenly raised his head and stared at the young Imperial Master in front of him: "What do you mean?"
Xia Guoshi said: "She is a widower who is destined to be punished, that's right. Not only does she suffer from others, but she also suffers from herself. This life has a bad fate. It's hard to say how old she will live. Maybe she will die tomorrow... Don't glare at me, I don't have it. So who are you going to curse out of boredom? Now I just ask you, if you can keep her safe, but it requires you to make a lot of sacrifices, are you willing?"
“I do.” Li Lei said without hesitation.
"Master Lei!" Abbot Kongji beside him couldn't help shouting. He had been friends with Mr. Li for many years and couldn't bear to see Li Lei make a sacrifice like this. He knew very well that the sacrifice mentioned by Master Xia was definitely not a joke. Xia Guoshi ignored Abbot Kongji and only asked Li Lei: "Use your life to help her share the disaster. Maybe you will die, are you willing?" The disaster of the person with Huang Ming may not stop after Nirvana. Seeing that Xia Ling's face was still full of disasters, he couldn't help but worry about whether this long-lost sister could live safely and smoothly. It would be great if someone could protect her from disaster.
"I am willing." Li Lei looked directly into Xia Guoshi's eyes, "Tell me what to do."
"Tomorrow, come up from the foot of the mountain along the winding mountain road," Xia Guoshi ordered. "After you come up, I need to take your blood. Maybe the blood loss alone will kill you. If you are lucky enough to survive, take it with you." Take the amulet I made with your blood back and give it to her, it can help her ward off disasters."
Li Lei agreed immediately and looked at Master Xia: "If I die, please make an amulet and give it to her."
"If you die, the amulet will be useless." Xia Guoshi smiled lightly, but the smile was very cold and did not reach his eyes.
“Why?” Li Lei frowned.
"Because, if you die..." Xia Guoshi looked at him, "it means that you are not worthy of guarding her. You are not the person she is destined to be. That girl's life is too special, and not everyone is qualified to touch it. of."
The phoenix soars above the nine heavens and cannot rest on a phoenix.
Her sycamore tree cannot be found, and she cannot give in to anything but death.
Xia Guoshi didn't know if the man in front of him could be that piece of sycamore wood. Xiao Ling was his blood-related sister. Just as a doctor cannot heal himself, a fortune teller often cannot tell him about himself. If the relationship is too close, he cannot treat her. His destiny is clearly seen.
Li Lei was silent for a moment, but said firmly: "I will survive."
One night passes quickly.
Xia Ling woke up early in the morning, changed her clothes, and walked out of the guest room but could not find Li Lei. She grabbed the driver who came to the temple with them and asked, "Where is the BOSS?"
The driver said: "BOSS still has some things to deal with. Please wait and return after the processing is completed."
Xia Ling didn't ask what it was about. She didn't want to get involved or care about Li Lei now. She only cares about when she can return to the city. She is frustrated in love. At least she will invest more in her work and make some good announcements.
She waited in the guest room from early morning until evening, feeling a little impatient.
Seeing that she couldn't leave that day, she simply went back to her room to sleep. This lasted for three days.
On the fourth day in the sky, Li Lei appeared in front of her.
He still has an extremely handsome face, and his bright eyes are shining, as if he can attract the attention of girls all over the world. "Let's go back to the city." He seemed to be in a good mood and said to her with a smile, "By the way, I went to ask for an amulet and give it to you."
Opening the palm of his hand, there is a small wooden amulet, dark red, not very eye-catching, just like a cheap souvenir found in all tourist areas, it doesn't look like anything special.
Xia Ling was too lazy to refuse, so she took it casually and put it in her pocket.
The driver on the side couldn't see clearly. Miss Ye didn't know clearly. As a subordinate, he could see clearly these days. Master Lei kowtowed his head all the way from the foot of the mountain. His forehead was bruised and his wrists were cut. After a lot of blood was shed, I begged the temple to make this amulet. He was afraid that Miss Ye would be worried, so he stayed with her for two days. When the scar on his forehead faded away and some color returned to his cheeks, he appeared in front of her and wanted to take her down the mountain.
But what about her?
Such an amulet that Master Lei has put so much effort into, just put it away casually?
“Miss Ye, you’d better wear it around your neck,” the driver couldn’t help but say, “This talisman belongs to the young master…”
