Chapter 465: Strange Appearance
Le Wan didn’t understand why the Taoist temple followed suit and started a vegetarian restaurant. After all, most Taoists didn’t allow meat or fish to be eaten. Perhaps it was the Taoist temple’s marketing strategy. Since Professor Yao said it was delicious, it should taste good. It was good to try it.
The two of them were walking to the canteen behind the hall when the Abbey Dean suddenly appeared in front of them again.
“Almsgiver Zhai, aren’t you going to do a divination today?”
Zhai Jing shook his head.
“No, it’s better not to be too greedy.”
To him, his current life was already very satisfying. He only needed to work hard to continue his happiness.
The Abbey Dean revealed a regretful expression and turned to Le Wan.
“How about this female benefactor? Would you like to perform a divination? Or are you like this benefactor Zhai and have nothing else to ask for?”
Le Wan shook her head.
“Of course, I have something to ask of you, but I’ve already begged the Three Pure Ones in the main hall. I think they will protect me if they hear me. As the saying goes, do your best and listen to the heavens. I’ve already told the heavens, so I only need to do my best.”
When the Abbey Dean heard this, his face revealed a bit of emotion.
“Patrons, you are both very perceptive people. I think you can turn misfortune into good fortune even without this divination.” Zhai Jing and Le Wan returned his bow, saying,
“Then I’ll borrow the Abbey Dean’s auspicious words.”
Although the Abbey Dean said that, he still looked regretful when he saw Zhai Jing and his wife leave hand in hand.
When the young Taoist priest saw this, he walked up to him in confusion.
“Master, deciphering a divination is only a few dozen yuan. Why are you so obsessed with these two visitors? Don’t we have many other visitors? If they don’t want to read their divinations, there are plenty of others waiting for you to read their divinations.”
The Abbey Dean glared at him in disappointment.
“What do you know? I usually teach you to read more books and learn skills. In the end, you only know how to slack off and have no vision at all.”
The young Taoist priest did not expect to be scolded for no reason. He quickly found an excuse to slip away.
The Abbey Dean couldn’t be so enthusiastic to every guest who came to offer incense. After all, although their Taoist temple wasn’t very big, there were many visitors on weekdays. At most, he could recognize the regular visitors.
The reason why he remembered Zhai Jing and treated him differently was because he had some experience in physiognomy.
When Zhai Jing came up the mountain to ask for a Protective Talisman, the Abbey Dean noticed something strange about his face at first glance.
Judging from Zhai Jing’s original appearance, he should have gone through many hardships, had all his relatives cut off, and then experienced an extremely miserable and short-lived life.
Many people had their own opinions, so in his eyes, this wasn’t a strange face. What made him feel strange was that based on this face, there was a faint layer of purple qi, and that purple qi had the tendency to gradually change the original face.
The occurrence of such a situation meant that Zhai Jing’s life was at a crossroads. If he drove in the normal direction, he would eventually face the end of a car crash and death. However, if he could seize that glimmer of hope, he would be able to escape his original fate. In the end, the worst would come.
The Abbey Dean had the virtue of a cultivator who loved life, so he specially came out to pull Zhai Jing to ask for a divination. The purpose was to see if he could give Zhai Jing some guidance so that he could seize that slim chance of survival.
Originally, he was just doing a good deed every day, but after that, he threw it to the back of his mind.
However, he did not expect to suddenly wake up one morning and feel that there was merit in his body. This proved that he had done a very good thing before, and this good thing had brought about other good results.
The Abbey Dean was pleasantly surprised, but he also wondered where this merit came from.
It was a pity that he was usually kind and charitable, so he couldn’t figure out which benefactor or what matters his merit should be due to.
It wasn’t until he met Zhai Jing today and saw his face that he realized that the credit should go to Zhai Jing.
In this way, it meant that Zhai Jing had the power of the Heavenly Dao. Only such a person could activate the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
Looking at his face now, he had completely changed his predicament. Not only would his future be smooth, but he would also be extremely rich and enjoy his old age.
And the source of this chance of survival was the female benefactor standing beside him..
