Chapter 2 Seeking Revenge
"Break off the engagement? And five more?!" Maomao was stunned.

Xu Shanshan held it in his arms and gently stroked its fur, while searching for the original owner's memories: "So that's how it is. This body is born disabled, with the three declines and five disasters. She was born with a short life, so the fortune teller carefully planned five marriages for her, hoping to use the marriage contract as a medium to help her prolong her life and change her fortune."

"Oh, so that's it..." Maomao suddenly reacted, holding her face with her wings, and screamed, "Ah ...

"Who forced whom to marry?"

"You forcefully married those five people."

"Oh, then there is no point in forcing someone to marry you. After all, I have participated in the writing of the Jingguo Law. Forcing a man to marry you is a crime."

Although she is down and out, she still has to stick to her bottom line.

Quexie Mountain is a mountain with divine status. It is said that any evil spirit will be subdued when seeing it, so the world's number one fortune teller built a "Guanwei Taoist Temple" in the mountain.

The strange thing is that he does not practice Taoism, has no altar or incense burning, nor does he worship the Three Pure Ones.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Shanshan walked into the Taoist temple with his hands folded in his sleeves. The eternally burning lanterns illuminated the ancient bluestone porch, the swaying green pines in all seasons, and the wooden plaques inlaid with the name, which seemed to carry countless secrets of history.

Arriving at the fortune teller's thatched cottage, she pushed the door open and looked around.

There were several bookshelves filled with books, and in the treasure chest there were pure copper bells, cloth bags, some copper coins, a mahogany signboard, a tortoise shell, a compass...

On the table, there are all kinds of writing brushes, inkstones, a box of cinnabar, a stack of talisman paper, a Liuren plate, a Tianyi plate...

"This fortune teller has a very rich fortune, and all his assets are genuine..."

After Xu Shanshan inspected it, she took a fancy to the divine fortune teller's collection of books. She was holding a book called "The Explanation of Fate" and was flipping through it. There was a comment about fatalism in it -

"One is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulating good deeds, and five is helping others to create..."

She seemed to be absorbed by the profound meaning and silently chanted: "Accumulate good deeds, help others and create good things... Isn't this the teaching of Buddhism? I didn't expect that this fortune teller is also a saint."

But he ended up raising a disciple with vile character, stupidity, evilness, and a devil-like accomplice.

She closed the book and tapped the table lightly with the fingertips of her left hand.

Xu Shanshan's deep and unfathomable eyes were filled with a little light: "Maomao, the Taiyi Divine Numbers that I practice can help people reshape their destiny, which naturally includes the problem of Xu Shanshan's disabled body, but..."

Taiyi Divine Numbers is a lost secret art of an advanced civilization. It can not only predict national affairs and natural and man-made disasters, but also change one's fate. Only the great master of Jing State can learn this art.

Maomao was surprised at first, then asked nervously: "Just what?"

"She has accumulated a lot of bad karma. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. But if she is still alive, these bad debts will naturally come back to her. She has learned the art of fate and Taoism, and has emphasized cause and effect. If she doesn't pay off the karma she has accumulated, her life will not be changed."

"In addition, her foundation is weak, and she needs to find five magical instruments that match her five prosperity."

The five elements of prosperity include health, career, wealth, intelligence and luck.

Mao Mao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "How can you, the great Grand Master of Jing Country, not be able to resolve the evil? You should quickly calculate where the five magic weapons are, and we will go down the mountain to look for them."

Xu Shanshan's body was no longer that of a great master of profound mystical arts, but she had not lost her skills as a physiognomist. She counted with her fingers, and in an instant, her expression became subtle.

Maomao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

She showed an intriguing look, and said with a half-smile: "Lixi, Youyouwang, Suji, it's a coincidence that the first thing that boosts health is in the west, in Jiangling City, in the hands of a monk."

Coincidence?

What a coincidence indeed.

-

The next day, the pale blue sky was studded with a few remaining stars, so Xu Shanshan got up, packed his bags and prepared to go down the mountain.

At this time, the sycamore trees outside the window rustled in the wind, and the fresh mountain air became damp and dull, as if the order of nature was broken.

She seemed to sense something, so she came to the desk, picked out a purple-hair brush from a row of brush holders, dipped it in evenly ground cinnabar, and drew a series of complicated spell patterns on the talisman paper with great vigor and vitality.

One after another, it doesn't seem like an emergency, but rather a way to stockpile.

A quarter of an hour later.

A group of uninvited guests came to the outside of the "Guanwei Taoist Temple". There was a "creaking" sound from the messy footsteps and the friction between the leather armor. It turned out that the outside was already surrounded by a group of troops.

This murderous scene was designed to be a massacre of an entire family.

A burly man slammed the door as if he wanted to break it.

"Xu Shanshan, you are a charlatan who deceives the world and steals your reputation. Get out of here right away. Otherwise, don't be afraid that we will not be polite and will directly smash your Taoist temple--" Xu Shanshan has sharp ears and eyes. After she put down the last stroke, she listened to the outside world. Mao Mao curled his wings on her head, and his red eyeballs stood straight up in a line: "Shan, you have such a murderous aura, you are not here with good intentions!"

"It's just that the creditor came to my door." She looked calm.

Outside the Taoist temple.

"You don't want to come out, right? Bring me an axe and chop down the door!"

But before they could take action, the tightly closed vermilion lacquered gate of the Taoist temple was opened, and a simple and slender figure walked out.

She walked slowly with her hands in her sleeves. She was wearing a starched, worn, wide robe with long sleeves hanging to her toes. Her posture was upright, with a straight line from her heels to her neck.

At that moment, his demeanor overlooking all living beings was as if a dignified god from the clouds had arrived.

Wei Liang, who had been knocking on the door fiercely, froze and looked at the man for a long time, hardly daring to recognize him.

Who?
This is Xu Shanshan...right?

It is hard to associate Xu Shanshan, who is so simple and divine, with the shameless and flashy woman a few months ago.

"Xu Shanshan is really brave. He didn't even run away."

A weird exclamation came from inside the BMW.

He seemed to be laughing, but his voice was as sharp as a knife: "Yes, if you were not brave enough, how could you dare to use your tricks on me, Liu Shiyou!"

Everyone thought that she would feel guilty and scared after hearing these words, and would kneel down and beg for mercy, but she just stood there, with the morning sun reflected in her eyes, and she was calmer and more composed than anyone else present.

When Xu Shanshan heard the other party introduce himself, he remembered which unlucky "creditor" he was who had been cheated by the original owner.

Liu Shiyou, the second son of the wealthy Liu family in Jiangling City, plans to invite a Feng Shui master to take a look because of the continuous disasters happening in his family.

It just so happened that the original owner was short of money so she came to him. She pretended to adjust the Feng Shui layout, and not only deceived him into buying a lot of evil-averting lucky charms to ward off evil spirits, but also vowed that from now on the Liu family would be able to turn bad luck around.

But fake is fake. Now seeing the black air covering the top of the BMW carriage and a ray of blood-red light, he knew that the situation of the Liu family was getting more serious.

She asked: "Liu Shiyou, if you only have one choice, do you want to kill me or save your Liu family?"

This sentence was beyond their expectations and immediately made the scene quiet down.

The people in the carriage were stunned for a long time, and they were almost amused by her: "Xu Shanshan, don't try to fool me with your pretentiousness. I have already inquired about it. You have no ability at all, but you dare to come out and cheat people. Now that the fortune teller is dead, you have nothing to rely on. Today, I will tell you your fate. You, Xu Shanshan, will die today."

The Liu family soldiers showed frosty murderous intent on their faces and drew out their long swords, exuding a chilling chill under the light.

Obviously, he didn't want to waste any more time and just went straight to take her life.

Maomao's feathers stood up, and Xu Shanshan pulled her hands out of her sleeves. The talisman flickered inside her sleeves. She said sincerely, "You might as well trust me again. The past was the past, and the present is now. I have learned the skills well."

Liu Shiyou: “…”

Is this woman stupid or is she treating him as a fool? In just a few months, she can go from a charlatan to a deity?

Xu Shanshan raised his head, his Taoist robe fluttering, and continued, "At the 15th hour of the 4th month, the sun will be eclipsed by the heavenly dog, and the sun and moon will be dark. This is the best time to understand yin and yang and predict fate. If you don't want to believe it and still insist on killing me, then your Liu family will be doomed to die."

ha? !

The number of breaths to death!

As it should be!

She is such a liar. Even at this point, she still doesn't repent. She even dares to curse their Liu family!

Liu Shiyou’s brain was about to explode with anger. Could he trust her?

He believed her!
He held the window lintel tightly in one hand and yelled at Wei Liang: "Tell her to shut up and kill her!"

"Quick, do it!"

Wei Liang waved his sword, and just as the Liu family's soldiers stepped forward with sharp swords, Xu Shanshan ignored the imminent danger and looked down with his calm eyelids -

I saw another group of people coming on the winding mountain road in front of the Taoist temple. An old man in a green robe was holding an upright coffin in front, and behind him were heavy soldiers. There were a lot of iron spears and sharp weapons, and the light of armor seemed to destroy the cold forest, gathering into a powerful momentum.
