“For another world?” Zhu Quan and Qi Chuan did not understand, “What is that?” He Danggui was shocked. Qi Xuanyu was a pretty smart mystical conman. She couldn’t believe that he divulged her biggest secret. What should she do? Would they burn her with a fire, just like the medieval witch that Qing’er said?
Qi Xuanyu explained, “It was because the hexagram-records in the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching were very vague. My Lord, since you used to study the Book of Changes, you know that there are many possible explanations for those concise classical Chinese. So, even I can’t give an exact answer. However, I am absolutely sure that the blue thorn star is not a natural star, and it should be condensed by a Taoist priest. Since he could use the ‘Forbidden magic of binding the soul for 3 lives’, he must have supernatural power.”
Qi Chuan’s voice was full of confusion, “Who can summon the star? How can there be such a person in the world? Brother, are you talking abo
Qi Xuanyu smiled and said, “I also laughed after hearing that. I only heard that if someone’s house is not peaceful, they would invite the monk to subdue the evil. I have never heard anyone who thinks his or her family is evil. However, when I thought of Miss He’s situation in Luo’s Mansion, I could also imagine that she was not welcome in her relatives. So, I became a good person and said a few good words for her. I said that ‘Hard life and harm of parents’ was referred to children would let their parents die unintentionally. Since her mother was in good health, she was definitely not an ominous person to harm her parents. I also said that her future husband was a great man, and they were good matched couple.”Qi Chuan praised, “Great. I will become a great man and then ride a colorful dragon to marry her!”Zhu Quan said with more certainty, “My eight characters of a horoscope accord with hers. She and I are destined to be husband and wife for 3 lifetimes.
He Danggui was transfixed immediately, and she even lost the desire to escape at the very thought of Zhu Quan’s Dun Shu (a kind of Kungfu that is unique and popular in Nihon, specializing on escaping or attacking others with the fully use of the surroundings materials) originated in Nihon and Ning Yuan’s arts of lightness which was as swift as a flash of lightning. The depressing thought that she was doomed to die whether she struggled or not came to her mind. She even closed her eyes, thinking that Zhu Quan must be the catastrophe in her life, by whom she was destined to be killed for 2 consecutive lives.She didn’t run, waiting for the death.She closed her eyes and laid her head down on her knees. Quietly, she was waiting for the death.In a while, she was encircled by warmth. She heard the wind howling, smelled the fragrant and mild aroma of green tea and felt the warm and soft cloth touching her cheek under the veil. Before she opened her
In most of the time in the previous life, He Danggui listened to Bai Yangbai’s words as jokes. He said that the prescription for preserving youthful looks was top-secret and could only be passed on to his wife and daughter. And if she wanted to get it, she had to have “the same surname” as his.She heard this, but she didn’t understand the meaning at all. She just frowned with embarrassment. It was not difficult to take him as an adoptive father, but her name was recorded in the genealogy of Luo’s Family. So, changing her name was not easy. And Bai Danggui sounded very strange, right?Bai Yangbai obliquely said that there was no need to change the name on the genealogy, and she could just go to the second house on the left hand of the official household registration department and then add the character “Bai” before her original name. Bai He Danggui was homophonic to lily and angelica, meaning life-long happiness and perfect harmony. It was a nice name!
He Danggui wanted to say “Lord Ning Zhu Quan”, but she held it back. She asked haltingly after some hesitation, “Old immortal, will my husband know that you summon him to my dream? Will he have any impression afterwards?”The old immortal cackled and said, “You are such an inexperienced girl that you have so many questions which even stump me. Well, let me see... Everything you see and hear is the same as that in his dream, so it is fair to say that you will have transient joy with him.”He Danggui immediately shook her head and waved her hands. She refused, “If so, don’t summon him. I am not ready yet, old immortal. Please leave me alone for a while.” Then she moved with great difficulty, trying to find a piece of clothing to cover her body. She thought to herself, “When I was in Luo’s Family, Fourth Sister always sprinkled itching powder on me. Although that kind of strange itch made me feel 100 times worse than the philter, I got it through. As long as I
Hearing the noise overhead, He Danggui felt a burning sensation around her heart. She asked, “When will Jinfeng Yulu Powder poison me? Can’t you kill me like what you did to Taishan?”Bai Yangbai shook his head and sighed, “What a stupid girl! This is the philter but not poison. It can make you fool but can’t kill you. If you don’t have sex with someone, you will become a blockhead. You know how gorgeous you are, girl, but what will happen if you don’t have intelligence? I can’t imagine what awaits you. I know nothing other than the gambler who lives next door and owes a great deal of money. Maybe he will sell you to a brothel and use the money to rake in huge profits.”Terrified by his words, He Danggui opened her eyes and looked at the swordsman in cloak beside the bed to verify his statements. Since he was unsmiling, she gnashed her teeth and rushed to the bed to bump her head. A surprised expression appeared on the swordsman’s face. And then she fell in
He Danggui complained in tears, “You are not a good person and worse than Tai Shan. Old goat, you don’t know respect!”Bai Yangbai bandaged her wound with disdain. He laughed at her and said, “Your forehead is really hard, and you are still so energetic after hitting it twice. It can be seen that even if you are yelling about death, you still want to stay alive. Don’t you want to bite your tongue and commit suicide? Your voice is so loud, and it seems that you don’t lack the strength to bite your tongue. Why don’t you bite it to show your determination? Admit that you enjoyed it just now. Do you want to do it again? I’ll bring another man for you.”He Danggui didn’t expect that there were all demons in and outside of the dream. Besides, she was angry and ashamed of what happened in the dream, so she bit her tongue cruelly. The force she used while biting the tongue was greater than that she used while hitting her head twice. She preferred death to humiliati
Bai Yangbai kept his head up and flaunted, “I’m your husband’s teacher and your elder. You should be polite to me. You can’t call me ‘old goat’ or ‘old monster’ again!”“Teacher?” He Danggui repeated it blankly and covered her face, crying with regret, “How did that happen? I... I am tarnished, and I no longer deserve the noble Lord Ning. You old goat, why do you save me? I’d rather die for being abused by other men!”Bai Yangbai came to her and patted her head, comforting her, “Don’t be like this. I have told you many times that it is just a dream. The man in a place far away just had a dream the same as yours. After you wake up, nothing has changed. No man has ever really touched a finger of you. To be precise, you haven’t lost your reputation, so you’d better relax and forget it.”He Danggui also wanted to forget it as a dream, but as soon as she closed eyes, she could see the unsightly scene in the water mirror, and the sense of weakness of
She was molested by a plate! He Danggui squeezed the corner of her clothes and stared blankly. Could this plate really help her determine her marriage? Should she take the divorce letter from the Lord?There was no response. The plate rolled around two times before it stopped. It said in a low voice, “I know it’s a bit unreasonable to let you kiss a cold plate. Besides, I haven’t taken a shower for a long time. But you can kiss my master’s face. He washes his face every day.”He Danggui glanced at Bai Yangbai, who made fun of her, and asked angrily, “It costs ten liang each time, right? I can afford it. Will you predict it once for me? Are you really good at it?”“Huh, OK, ten liang,” said the plate disappointingly, “It’s okay to take a gamble. If I earn twenty liang, I can buy a thousand roasted chicken wings. If I earn a hundred liang, I can buy many beautiful ladies! So, beautiful lady, what is your date of birth and eight characters of a ho
