243 Mother and Daughter Not Related By Blood, But Fated
The novice monk had just walked to the back and found his Master.
“Master, Martial Uncle Yuan Zhi must be in a daze again. There are three supreme lots in the divination container for marriage.”
This was not something that had never happened before.
Sometimes, in order to earn more money for the incense oil, Yuan Zhi would remove some of the bad lots from the divination container and add more supreme lots.
Unless one was especially unlucky, they would basically not draw the bad lots.
Hearing the novice monk speak, a monk who was sleeping inside sat up. There were still sleeping marks on his face.
Turning his head, he saw an exceptionally handsome face. Even if he had no hair, it did not affect his elegant temperament.
The monk yawned. “Just pick it out.”
“But a young benefactor accidentally shook it and shook out three supreme lots!”
The handsome monk was interested. “There’s such a thing?”
The supreme lots were made a little heavier than the ordinary lots and were very difficult to shake out.
It was designed like this to make this lot difficult to draw.
Not to mention shaking out three at once.
This meant that the child was blessed, and her luck must be good.
He could take a look at her.
“Is she still here?”
The young monk was not sure. “Her mother is burning incense in the hall. She should be leaving after that.”
“I’ll go take a look.” The handsome monk stood up.
In this remote village, it was rare to see a truly lucky person.
The people who came were all basically middle-cla.s.s people or even poor people.
Only when people’s lives were too hard and did not know how to save themselves would they beg the G.o.ds and Buddhas that filled the sky.
The handsome monk went to look for Little Ah Yu and happened to see Yuan Zhi recruiting her into the Buddhist Sect.
Liu Shi was terrified. This was the first time she had seen someone persuade a child to be a monk.
“Benefactor, your child really has a root of wisdom and is fated with the Buddhist Sect. If she cultivates in the Buddhist Sect, she might be able to become a Buddha on the spot!” Yuan Zhi said sincerely.
This child was blessed. If he took her with him to perform meritorious deeds, he should be able to obtain a lot of merit.
This was much better than him sitting here and explaining the divination lot to people here!
Liu Shi was secretly regretting it.
If she had known earlier, she would not have come to Puji Temple. Puji Temple was not very famous to begin with, but she wanted to come to the nearest temple.
As expected, she shouldn’t have just gone to the closest one.
Look at what strange people they had provoked.
Was this a proper monk?
“Yuan Zhi, don’t be rude!” An extremely dignified voice sounded, and Yuan Zhi froze.
He turned around and saw the handsome monk walking over.
Yuan Zhi was unwilling. “Senior Brother Abbot.”
“Benefactor, don’t blame him. He’s an emotional person and was too agitated for a moment, but he didn’t have any ill intentions.” The handsome monk had a compa.s.sionate expression, and his brows were clear and gentle, as if a Bodhisattva had descended to the mortal world.
His words were filled with righteousness, causing the resentment in Liu Shi’s heart to dissipate.
Liu Shi waved her hand awkwardly. “Abbot, we’ve finished burning the incense and donated the money for the incense oil. We’ll go back now.”
The handsome monk originally did not say anything. He first looked at Little Ah Yu, then at Liu Shi.
“The two of you have an affinity with each other.” The handsome monk suddenly smiled and said, “Two who are not mother and daughter, but are connected by fate and have special family ties.”
Hearing this, Liu Shi’s gaze immediately became vigilant.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Ah Yu is the child I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. She’s my daughter!” Liu Shi didn’t wait for the handsome monk to say anything and immediately covered Little Ah Yu’s ears.
She hugged Little Ah Yu tightly and hurriedly left Puji Temple.
Her footsteps down the mountain were hurried, as if someone was chasing after them.
Yuan Zhi asked humbly from behind, “Senior Brother Abbot, what did you see?”
The handsome monk smiled and did not reply.
