938 Giving Herb (1)
Shen Miao did not expect that the so-called expert was actually the strange Daoist priest who she had met once in Putuo Temple. What the strange Daoist priest said that day still lingered in Shen Miao’s ears. She felt that this Daoist priest seemed to know her deepest secret, the fact that she was reborn. However, when she wanted to find the Daoist priest again, she searched the entire capital but could not find any traces of him.
Now that she thought about it, it was no wonder that she couldn’t find him. This Daoist priest actually came all the way to Long Ye.
According to what Ben Yue said, it was a few years ago when she met this Daoist priest. A few years ago, the Daoist priest was actually in Long Ye. From the looks of it, this Daoist priest had been in Long Ye for a long time. Could it be that he was from the Daliang Dynasty? Then why was he in the capital of Ming Qi? It was impossible for him to travel all the way to Ming Qi just to give her a fortune-reading, right?
Shen Miao said, “Daoist priest…”
The strange Daoist priest looked at her and stroked his beard. “My Daoist name is Chi Yan. Madam, you’re here to ask me to save someone, right? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Luo Tan was stunned and asked, “Daoist Priest Chi Yan, you already knew that we would come to look for you?”
Daoist Priest Chi Yan smiled smugly and said, “I also gave myself a fortune-reading.”
Shen Miao thought to herself that this Daoist priest seemed to have some ability. For example, what he said at the Putuo Temple made sense. If he was that so-called expert, it was not a surprise. She said, “My husband is seriously injured. Hearing that you can change people’s fate, I specially came to look for him. Daoist priest, please save my husband’s life. After this is done, we will reward you handsomely.”
Hui Xiang and the others were all standing behind Shen Miao. When they heard what Shen Miao said just now, they wondered if Shen Miao was deceived by a swindler. How could fate be changed? This Daoist priest looked not much different from an ordinary person.
However, Shen Miao knew it was probably not a coincidence that the Daoist priest knew that she was the empress in her previous life.
Hearing Shen Miao’s words, the strange Daoist priest shook his head with a smile. The closer he walked, the more everyone could see that he was carrying a fish basket on his back. It seemed like he had gone to fish. However, the hook on the fishing line was straight, and the fish basket was empty.
Seeing that he did not reply to Shen Miao for a long time, Luo Tan asked anxiously, “Daoist priest, can you save my brother-in-law?”
The Daoist priest placed the fish basket against the door and straightened his back. He looked at Shen Miao deeply and said, “The heavenly secrets can’t be revealed. I can’t even reveal the heavenly secrets to Madam. How can I claim that I can change people’s fate?”
“But you saved Ben Yue’s brother.” Luo Tan was puzzled. “Isn’t that considered changing fate?”
“That’s because that young man is not destined to die. The heavens brought him to meet me, and I’m destined to save his life,” Daoist Priest Chi Yan said.
Shen Miao frowned slightly. “Then Daoist priest, what is my husband’s fate?”
The Daoist priest chuckled. “The secrets of the heavens can’t be revealed.”
