When I walked out of Orchid Villa, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the door was busy with traffic and full of wealthy guests.
I lit a cigarette and walked forward silently.
My mind began to recall the details of today's meeting with Sui Jiangwan, the leader of the Orchid Sect.
Spicy Rabbit Head and Bamboo Leaf Green.
And that calligraphy and painting scroll.
And, the past events she told me and the two people she mentioned.
Huo Yutong, the Thousand-Handed Jade Fox, and Qin Sihai, the gambling king of Guandong.
I don’t know why, but the more I think about it, the more confused I become.
Suddenly, I remembered what Su Mei had said to me that night.
She said that the owner of the Orchid Sect has known about my existence for a long time.
At the same time, Su Mei also told me not to believe anyone's words easily, including the owner of the Orchid Sect.
For a moment, I was a little confused.
Why did Su Mei say that?
And what reason did the owner of the Orchid Sect have to lie to me?
I always feel like I'm trapped in an invisible net.
No, I have to find a way to break free from this big net.
…………
One morning two days later.
Mr. Hong and I had breakfast and were about to go to the Taoist Temple to see Little Taoist August.
In the past few days, August has been doing fortune-telling for many dignitaries.
These people were convinced by August.
However, there has been no news about Liu Jiafeng, the top leader of a certain bureau.
As soon as we came downstairs, my cell phone rang suddenly.
I took it out and saw that it was actually a call from Brother Yong.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Brother Yong on the other side say directly:
"On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jiafeng asked someone to go to the Taoist temple at ten o'clock this morning. She wants to find the Taoist priest to tell her fortune. You should go to the Taoist temple and have a look. Don't show any flaws!"
I agreed and hung up the phone.
Qing Xuan Guan.
It was originally a small Taoist temple in decline in Fengtian.
There used to be a few little Taoist priests inside.
But because there is no incense offering all year round.
Several little Taoist priests also ran away without a trace.
Now that August is coming, I will add my packaging plan.
At this time, the incense in Qingxuan Temple began to flourish.
Mr. Hong and I deliberately chose to enter through the back door.
When we arrived at the room we stayed in in August, we didn’t even knock on the door, we just pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as he walked in, August was obviously shocked.
He immediately stood up from his chair.
As soon as he saw us, he rubbed his heart and complained to us:
"I asked you, are you polite? Why don't you knock on the door when you come in?"
I ignored him and glanced at him casually.
He saw several plates of side dishes placed on the table in front of him.
There are mixed chicken racks, peanuts, and two hot dishes.
There is also a bottle of Laoxue on the table.
The DVD player opposite is playing a famous movie from Xiangjiang, "The Jade Futon: The Jade Girl's Heart Sutra".
"How are you doing in your little life?"
Mr. Hong pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
On the other hand, I followed the video with great interest.
August smiled, showing his white teeth, and said:
"I've finally been able to live a good life for a few days. You don't know that I lived a life without enough food and a precarious life. Hey!"
After saying that, August shook his head and sighed.
"The person who asked you to calculate will arrive at ten o'clock. You should prepare yourself. Don't make any mistakes..."
August drank the remaining beer in the cup in one gulp.
He wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his Taoist robe and said:
"Don't worry. I will definitely fool her into finding her..."
Looking at August, I couldn't help but smile secretly.
This fake Taoist priest doesn't hide anything in front of me.
"How about this, you two accompany me to the main hall later, and you listen in the back room. If I didn't say anything, you can secretly send me a message. How about it?"
To be sure, this is the only way to do it.
The main hall of Qingxuan Temple is actually not big.
There are several golden statues of heavenly masters enshrined inside.
There is a special tea table next to it.
The farthest place is a side room where daily things are placed.
Mr. Hong and I were hiding inside and could see everything happening outside.
But people outside can't see inside.
At ten o'clock, Liu Jiafeng walked into the main hall with a young man.
At this time, August was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.
When Liu Jiafeng saw that no one was paying attention to her, she walked up to her and said cautiously:
"Xiandao, this is Liu Jiafeng who made an appointment with you in advance. I wonder if Xiandao has time, can you give me some advice?"
August still closed her eyes and said slowly:
"Tell me your birthday time!"
Liu Jiafeng immediately told the time of his birth.
August didn't open his eyes, moved his two fingers slightly, and muttered words.
After a while, he said slowly:
"Guisi Rizhu is a fellow villager of Luma, and has a good official career. Unexpectedly, the person who came today is actually an important guest!"
After saying that, August opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Jiafeng.
Liu Jiafeng had a flattering smile on his face and said hurriedly:
"I don't dare to praise you in front of the master. Today, I want the master to help me see..."
Before he could say anything else, August raised his hand and interrupted Liu Jiafeng.
"Most distinguished guests like you ask for official seals. But I took a look at your face. What you asked for today is not official, but something else, right?"
This sentence made Liu Jiafeng's face full of surprise.
She didn't expect it before she could speak.
August actually knew the purpose of her trip today.
"Let him back off!"
August said lightly to the man next to Liu Jiafeng.
The young man was very interested and immediately left the hall.
In the empty hall, only August and Liu Jiafeng were left.
Liu Jiafeng looked at August and asked tentatively:
"Master, can you figure out what I'm here to ask for today?"
August had no expression on his face and said two words:
"Marriage!"
Liu Jiafeng was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, I am seeking marriage at this age, so I feel a little embarrassed to say it. But I..."
Before she could say anything else, August interrupted her again and said:
"One arrow causes three days of rain, and a woman needs to eat from three families. Judging from your birth date, you should have been divorced twice. But this is nothing. Your third marriage is still very happy!"
"Yeah?"
Liu Jiafeng asked excitedly.
August nodded.
"Marriage is not far away, just around the corner! If you only seek marriage today, it will be considered a success. Go back..."
I have to admit, this August is a master.
Liu Jiafeng felt a little regretful when he said, "Go back in order to make progress."
After all, who wouldn’t want to chat with the legendary master if he could meet him?
