Chapter Twelve: The amulet shows its power.
"It was around one o'clock on July 15th, 1996. I don't know the exact number of minutes." Yang Ying tilted her head and said thoughtfully.
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
He took out a turtle shell, and then took out four ancient coins and put them in it.
Wow~
The coins rattled in the turtle shell. These coins were Xuanyuan Tongbao, which could be regarded as antiques. These four coins cost Xuanqing one semester's living expenses.
"Try using mana."
Xuanqing thought this in his heart, and then controlled the magic power in his Dantian to pour into the turtle shell and Tongbao coins.
Buzz~
An invisible wave of energy emanated.
The Tongbao coin in the turtle shell also underwent an indescribable change in this special wave energy.
Wow~
Copper coins fell on the table.
Yang Ying looked at Xuan Qing expectantly, wanting to know what this meant.
now.
"Hey... why is this marriage line blank?" Xuan Qing frowned slightly.
However, after he carefully looked at the hexagrams and made silent calculations in his mind, he finally understood why such a situation occurred.
Bad, omen of great misfortune, disaster of death.
Since they are all dead, this can be explained clearly by the fact that the marriage line is completely blank.
And this ‘bad omen’ should be in Qingping Mountain.
Xuan Qing was slightly silent. As a Taoist priest, he should respect the fate of others, but if something happened to this girl in the Taoist temple, he would probably be in some trouble as well.
With this in mind.
"Miss Yang Ying, Pindao has not calculated your marriage, but Pindao has an amulet here. I hope you will accept it!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Yang Ying couldn't help but look suspicious on her face.
The man holding a camera on the side also had a suspicious expression on his face.
This young Taoist priest was fine before. Could it be that his secret has been exposed now and he wants to use this amulet to defraud money?
"Taoist priest...how much does this...cost?"
Yang Ying looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she said thoughtfully: "At most... I can give a donation of 200 yuan to the Taoist temple."
Although her job at the TV station is a state-owned enterprise, as a recent graduate and still in her internship period, her monthly living expenses are just enough to cover her expenses, and she has no extra money at all.
"Oh? You can donate two hundred dollars!"
Xuan Qing was slightly startled. He originally planned to give it to her for free. Of course, if the girl wanted to give her money, he would not refuse.
Pass the amulet over.
Yang Ying put away the amulet and looked around, but she didn't find any merit box in the Taoist temple.
"Excuse me, Taoist priest, where is this merit box?"
"Haha, only monks and monasteries have things like merit boxes, not serious Taoist temples." Xuan Qing smiled and shook his head.
Taoists do not set up merit boxes, not because they like to do things for free, but because they do not target ordinary people at all.
Most Taoist sects provide free assistance to ordinary people, but when dealing with the rich and powerful, they charge high service fees.
finally.
The two added friends, and then Yang Ying directly sent a red envelope worth 200 yuan to them.
During this process.
The man carrying the camera kept tugging on Yang Ying's sleeves, as if to remind her. After all, in his opinion, Taoist culture deserves recognition, but charging for divination, selling amulets, etc. is definitely an IQ tax.
....
The sky was getting darker, and since they had received enough information to go back and communicate, the two planned to leave the Taoist temple.
"Thank you, Taoist Master Xuanqing, for your hospitality today. It's getting late, so we won't disturb you." Yang Ying bowed slightly.
"good!"
Xuan Qing nodded and watched the two of them leave. He looked at Yang Ying's leaving figure with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
.....
Qingping Mountain.
The road going down the mountain is a continuous trail with no end in sight.
Yang Ying and the cameraman carefully walked on the stone staircase less than one meter wide.
Anyone with experience knows that although going up the mountain is tiring, going down the mountain is even more dangerous. If you make a mistake, you can easily fall through the air.
Don't know when it started.
The air became a little moist, visible to the naked eye, and a dark cloud drifted over from a short distance.
Yang Ying touched the water drops on her forehead.
Di ~ Lili
The rain in summer is like a thin stream. It comes as soon as it is told, and the momentum is very violent. It rains heavily in a short while.
This path, less than one meter wide, became even more difficult to walk.
Although there are not cliffs on both sides of the road, they are densely covered with thorns and strange rocks. If you accidentally fall, you will lose your skin even if you die.
suddenly.
The danger occurred.
The rain soaked Yang Ying's eyes, making them a little blurry. When she was going down the steps, she accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel the size of a glass bead.
moment.
Her body lost her balance and she suddenly fell towards the jungle on the side.
The six-meter-high slope is covered with thorns, and there are many protruding stones on the ground. If he fell, he would be disfigured if not disabled.
"Ah~"
Yang Ying let out a scream and waved her hands randomly, trying to grab the life-saving straw.
A coincidence happened.
A vine growing on the edge of the slope hooked her clothes, and in the process of rolling down, a knot was made to completely fix it.
that's all.
Yang Ying's entire body was entangled in vines and hung in mid-air. One meter below her body, there was a sharp stone.
It's not hard to imagine.
If she hadn't been tied up with this rattan, what kind of tragic end would she have ended up falling on the sharp stone.
"Yang Ying~"
The expression on the camera man's face suddenly changed. He finally came to his senses and quickly turned around and ran to where Yang Ying fell.
He grabbed the cane and carefully pulled it up until Yang Ying was pulled to the ground, and then relaxed.
Yang Ying returned to the ground and sat slumped on the ground.
fortunately!
Fortunately it was entangled with a cane, otherwise it would have been doomed.
Yang Ying's face was pale and her chest was heaving violently. She was obviously frightened by the situation just now.
"Are you... okay?"
"Huh~" Yang Ying took a deep breath, shook her head, supported her body with both hands, and stood up with difficulty.
Checked it out.
Apart from some damaged and dirty clothes, there were no wounds or even bruises on his whole body.
"Could it be..."
It seemed like I thought of something.
Yang Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.
She put her hand into her pocket as if she wanted to take out something, but in the end she only took out a hand full of ashes.
The amulet... spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes.
See this scene.
"Hiss~" The body of the camera man trembled.
He staggered back and almost fell, and took a deep breath.
The two looked at each other, feeling extremely shocked.
Calm down your mind.
Yang Ying bit her lip, and while surviving the disaster, she felt great gratitude and admiration for Xuan Qing.
"Brother Zhao, please go down first. I want to go up the mountain to thank the Taoist Master for saving my life."
"I'll go with you!" the cameraman said after calming down.
that's all.
The two of them changed direction and headed towards Qingping Temple on the mountain.
.....
Qingpingguan.
Xuan Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
Just now, he felt that the amulet he had refined was triggered.
more importantly.
The moment the amulet was triggered, a special energy that could not be seen or touched, but could be felt, suddenly surrounded him.
Chapter completed!
