Chapter 108: How can the stars compare to the human heart? "Yes, I am the daughter of the Qiao family who foresaw the disaster," the city lord's wife said, looking at Lingxiang, "and I also know that you are the daughter of the fairy Tumi." Lingxiang stood up in shock when she heard this, and stared at the city lord's wife for a moment before slowly sitting down. I was wondering why my mother gave away the life-extending elixir that she had developed with great difficulty, but I didn't expect there was this reason. "Then didn't mother know that Madam had no cultivation?" Lingxiang's eyes wandered, but her mind was immersed in these matters. "I was weak at that time and had no chance to meet the Fairy Tumei. My grandfather didn't say much about it. So the two heads of Longlu asked for the pills. I think they only told her the reason for the incident and were anxious to prolong my life, so they didn't tell her. It was only later when I met a wandering Taoist priest that I learned about these things." The city lord's wife poured a cup of tea and handed it over. "A wandering Taoist priest?" Lingxiang was extremely surprised. "Do you know who it is?" "I'm not too sure about that. I only know that he was a young Taoist priest. I heard that he came here on his own and said that he smelled the scent of an old friend." Anyone who knows that elixirs should not be fed to people casually must be an expert. Who is this Taoist? Although Lingxiang had some doubts in her heart, she let them go in a flash. After all, it happened many years ago and there was no way to pursue it now.
"So, Madam had the power of prophecy at that time, but why couldn't the three families avoid the disaster, but married you here in advance?" "It's hard to say. I've had the ability to foresee the future from time to time before. I encountered some things at that time and wanted to avoid them, but they still happened in the end and became even more serious. I guess this is my fate." The city lord's wife sighed. "This ability is more of a curse than a gift. Every time I foresee something and want to avoid it, fate always finds a way to make it happen. After so many times, I can only let nature take its course." "When the three families were in trouble, I also foresaw that there would be survivors, so I proposed the idea of marrying out to my grandfather, and pointed the way for the Long and Lu families. Unfortunately, the Lu family was far away and was the first to suffer, which led to the disaster that happened to you later." "Misfortune?" Lingxiang asked puzzledly: "What misfortune?" "The Supreme Sect." The city lord's wife didn't say much, and with just this one word, the spirit fragrance immediately became clear. "You mean, the man in black that day was a descendant of the Lu family? But...but...but isn't Madam a prophet? How could she know what happened to me before?" "What a coincidence! The Taoist priest who saved you that day is the benefactor of the City Lord's Mansion. He was the one I saw when we met before. I didn't know it at first, but I understood everything after I met you." The City Lord's wife smiled slightly. "Speaking of which, I was able to survive for all these years thanks to that immortal." Senior Chi Yanzi? How could such a coincidence happen in the world? "Did that immortal come to your house before July this year?" The city lord's wife was startled when she heard this: "Exactly, how did you know that?" No wonder Lingxiang suddenly realized. "That senior Chi Yanzi was afraid that we would run into some bad guys again, so he escorted us all the way to Guyang City. Later he said he wanted to see an old friend in the city. I guess he was talking about the City Lord's Mansion." Lingxiang said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip. "Is there such a thing? I invited you here today because of that immortal. He came to my house and told me that if I fall ill again, I can ask Ah Jin to go to the city to find You Ran Ju." This old senior had buried a matter for himself long ago. "What is the reason why the lady came to see me this time?" Upon hearing this, the city lord's wife actually knelt down. Seeing this, Lingxiang quickly dodged away and hurried to help her up. "Madam, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just tell me. Why do you have to do this?" "Miss Lingxiang, I think you should know about my condition, otherwise you wouldn't have pointed it out to me yesterday. You are a very smart person, so now I ask you to think of a way to delay it for a few days for me, so that I can leave with peace of mind. I know this is very troublesome, but if I don't ask you, I don't think anyone else can do it."
Ling Xiang frowned upon hearing this: "Madam, that is a method of tigers and wolves, extremely harmful to the body. With your current body, you may still have one or two years, but if you use that method, you won't last for a few months." "I understand. I understand all of this. It was only after I met you that I understood many things. This is how fate has arranged it. You can't struggle. I just hope that you can handle everything properly before I leave, so that I can have peace of mind. I hope you can help me..." Lingxiang felt very embarrassed, as this was tantamount to harming others. However, the City Lord's wife was so sincere to her, and it would be unreasonable for her to refuse her agreement. "I know you are in a difficult situation. For a cultivator, saving people is the right way to go. But I am already at a point where there is nothing I can do. Instead of saving people, it is better to save their hearts!" The city lord's wife said, tears streaming down her face. …… "So you gave her some elixirs?" Xinyi was shocked when she heard that. What Lingxiang did was against the rules of cultivation. "That's right," Lingxiang saw the expression on Xinyi's face and knew what he was thinking. She then said, "So what if that's the case? I'm already a practitioner of Wuwang. It's better to do as Madam Qiao said, saving people's hearts is also to calm my own heart." Xinyi looked solemn, fearing that what she had done might be detrimental to her virtue... "Is it that lady who asked you to pay attention to me?" Lingxiang smiled when she heard this: "Do you remember that I mentioned you when we first met in Zhuyuan? When I first saw you, I just thought that you were very good-looking, and I didn't think about what the lady said. It was only when I got closer that I changed my mind. At that time, I thought, could you be the assassin I saw that day?" When Xinyi heard this, he immediately remembered that day when Lingxiang wanted to cover his mouth and nose with her hands. "I see. It seems that this lady has told you a lot of things." Lingxiang smiled and took a sip of the teacup. "Not really. She only asked for three things that day. One was to keep her secret, two was to give her some energy-boosting pills, and three was to take care of me. For me, these three things are not difficult, but in exchange for your news, it is worth it." "Did she say how to deal with the demons in the future?" "Madam said that everything is determined by fate. Even if you try to avoid it, it will only bring more serious disasters. You have done your best, and the rest is up to nature. And at that time, she only told me about you, and didn't say anything else." Lingxiang said, got up and walked to the fence, looking at the stars in the night sky and sighed, "Madam has had a hard time. She knows everything about the afterlife, and she only told me these unimportant things after all the calculations." Lingxiang said this, then turned around and said to Xinyi, "The tea is cold, don't drink it, and go to bed early. I have to go out tomorrow and I have some things to do now." After saying this, she turned around and walked down the mountain. What could be so urgent in the middle of the night? I want to try to update twice a day, but I am not strong enough... Now all the past events are about to be revealed. There will be more memories in the recent pictures, involving the background of the story. If you don’t like it, you can skip it.
