Do fortune tellers believe in fate.

After the New Year, the sun appears more often, the snow melts gradually, and there is a kind of bone-chilling cold.

Xu You would go to the street from time to time, and at the end of the street there was a house where a blind woman lived, and she used to put food in a small porcelain bowl on the low wall.

"Meow--" Xu You jumped onto the low wall, and called out to the courtyard.

"Eh, you're here." Granny was breaking peas in the yard, and when she heard the voice, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face.

Xu You bowed its head and finished eating the green vegetable soup and rice, jumped down from the wall and rubbed up to her, the mother-in-law stroked its head and said gently, "Have you eaten enough?"

"Meow." Xu You responded, accompanying her for a while before jumping onto the low wall again. She looked back at the empty courtyard, and there was only one old man with gray hair and slow movement.

Twice she passed by here, and when the old man knew it, he left some food where she passed, and Xu You would stay with her for a while after eating, and when the weather was good, he would take a nap in her yard.

Xu You used to bring this food back to Yier Li, but he only let her eat it by herself, and after a few times, Xu You stopped bringing it, but he was able to find some food by himself.

It will be easier to live after the winter passes.

Xu You didn't notice a few lines of sight as he walked slowly back.

"That wildcat seems to belong to that freak nowadays."

"Motherfucker, my eyes hurt for more than half a month from her whole thing."

One man's eyes rolled and said, "Why don't we make up a New Year's gift to Yier Li ......"

......

I don't know whether it was her cat-like sensitivity or her human intuition, but Xu You always had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart that she couldn't get rid of.

Walking out of the street and into an alleyway, that feeling grew stronger and even made her blow up slightly, Xu You turned around, intending to turn around and leave.

Just then, a voice rang out from the alley.

"Ouch beast, where do you want to go?" Four boys blocked the entrance to the alley.

Xu You saw that they had sticks and stones in their hands, as well as the kind of nets specialized in catching birds, and looked at the high fence on both sides, she couldn't jump up, so she had to run deeper into the alley on the other side, and within two steps, she encountered a few other boys blocking in front of her.

The people at both ends slowly approached, "Look at that freak's thinness, he must not have eaten meat for a long time, let's send him a pot of wildcat soup."

Xu You's paws on her hind legs stomped, gritting her teeth, she made a jump and clawed at a man's face, who was quick on his feet and grabbed her by the tail, tossing her hard to the ground.

Xu You fell so hard that her eyes went black, and the sharp pain in her back made her think that she had broken her backbone, or maybe she was paralyzed for the whole thing.

Seeing a large net coming down, Xu You endured the pain and dodged it, trying to leap out from between their legs and feet, being blocked by a horizontal wooden stick.

Seeing that there was really no escape, Xu You simply bit the arm on the wooden stick.

"Ah... Bite me again, let's see if I don't kill you today!" With his other hand, he took the rock from the person next to him and smashed it directly at Xu You's head.

Xu You let go and didn't dodge, the sharp pain that opened up in her head made her lose consciousness.

When she woke up with her eyes open again, she found herself back in blank space, her brain vaguely still a little sore from the aftermath.

"Yo, back." Seven Eight gave her a look and continued to turn back to its children's cartoons.

Xu You reacted a bit, "I failed my mission?"

Seven Eight: "What's a failure when you're a cat, you can't even pick up the world line, it's the same as not getting the mission."

Xu You was slightly relieved and asked, "So what now?"

"Waiting," Seven-Eight kowtowed, "The switchboard has approved the fact sheet I handed over to re-match you with a character."

"How long?" She was too worried about Yier Li.

"I don't know, after all, matching the object is difficult, both to match with your personal match is high, but also to make the mission object not suspicious, not to appear the world bug, it has to spend quite a lot of time," Seven Eight looked at her face anxious so much that she couldn't sit down, and distributed a wave of melon seeds to her, "Okay, it's useless for you to be anxious. Why don't you sit down ......"

Xu You interrupted it nonchalantly, "No rush? Then watch a children's cartoon with you?!" After saying that, she fished away all of its melon seeds.

Seven Eight: "......"

Heart hanging a thing, sometimes it is really difficult to divert attention, seven eight see her soulful look, simply spend a huge sum of money to buy her Rubik's Cube, yo-yo, blocks and puzzles and other puzzles, and so on, in order to let her relax, and by the way, to improve the IQ a little bit.

Xu You wasn't in the mood to play at all, and seeing its heartbroken expression, she said expressionlessly, "What are you heartbroken about, it's clearly my points that are being spent."

She waited like this, simply waiting until the darkness of the sun and the moon, and then in this blank space as if there was no flow of time, but also as if the time was speeding, she simply did not know how long had passed.

Finally waiting for one day, Seven Eight suddenly bounced off the ground and said to her lying corpse, "Coming coming host, the switchboard has matched you with a new person, go, do the mission."

Xu You's heart that had been tumbling over the mountains had rippled calmly, she calmly rubbed her brain that was lying in pain, "Okay, let's go then."

Seven Eight immediately drew her a circle of light, and she stepped into it, and when the white light in her head faded, Xu You had a sense of reality.

She raised her eyes to see the stone steps zigzagging and extending downward, the stone path flanked by lush trees, as well as the man who picked up the steps face to face, dressed in green, with a white jade pressed crown, his temperament clear and cold.

Realizing that the two were rapidly closing the distance between them, Xu You reacted as she crossed over just as her original body stepped out of the way and fell forward.

This mountain is steep and high, a stone step is long and cannot see the end, this roll down ...... Maybe she will be cold.

When the man saw her, a fleeting distaste surfaced in his eyes, and he frowned slightly, with no intention at all of helping her, and sidestepped.

The sense of survival made Xu You subconsciously grab at his arm, only to catch the empty sleeve of his coat.

Where's his hand?

There was no longer time for either of them to react, and the rush caused both of them to tip over and fall down in unison.

In a flash of lightning, Xu You reacted extremely quickly, pulling him in a different direction, and instead of rolling down the stone steps, the two of them rolled to the side into the forest.

The side forest has a steep downward slope with lots of soft mud and gravel, and Xu You was knocked out of his eyes and didn't stop until his back hit a tree trunk, his back was numb with pain, his skinned hand was on fire, and his foot was twisted.

She closed her eyes to ease the pain, gritted her teeth and said to Seven Eight: "In the future through, can not always pick this kind of fatal juncture, reaction slower, the head will have to be knocked open, when the blood wash the stone steps."

Chichiba said idly, "You think this is turnip and cabbage, and you're still at your mercy."

Feeling the person next to him move as if sitting up.

Although the system is broken, and every time you teleport, the positioning of the teleportation is quite accurate, and usually the first contact and the closest one is the target of the mission.

She had looked at him twice before the fall, he had changed so much that she could say he was a completely different person, but the familiarity made her sure that he was Yier Li.

"Chihachi, what do you say I continue to pretend to be unconscious, he definitely won't let a woman lie unconscious in the forest, he'll find a way to get me out of there, and at that time I I'll excuse myself to repay him for saving my life by giving my body to him or something, the water will be ready." She felt as if this mission was fairly simple.

Matchmaker makes a fan girl face, "Can wow host, go for it."

But Xu You thought of another problem, she was the one who dragged him along with her, he might not be able to save her, and he might be injured too.

She thought about it, and simply opened her eyes, apologizing properly before asking him to help give her a hand, thus allowing him to help and relieving him of the burden of rescuing an unconscious person.

After thinking it over, Xu You opens her eyes to a sharp stone pointed at her head, and the eyes of the person holding it are cold.

It wasn't hard to see what he wanted to do to her.

Seven Eight: "......"

Xu You: "............"

Seven Eight reassured her, "Host, you must know that imagination is always good."

Xu You : Wait, what's going on with this plot.

The sharp rock stops in front of her eyes, wondering why he stopped his hand, and Xu You takes advantage of the lull and rolls hastily to the side.

As if he saw no more chance to strike, he threw the stone away, stood up, straightened his robes, and left without looking back.

At that exact moment, a gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves in the forest.

Xu You opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he saw the empty sleeves of his right hand side being blown over, he abruptly stopped saying anything.

Xu You sighed softly as he watched the green color move further and further away.

Help couldn't be expected from him, and she was thankful for not giving her that last blast.

After easing the pain, Xu You limped down the mountain, reading the worldline in the process.

In this ancient world, Yier Li's mother died in childbirth on the day of his birth, his father found a matchmaker and married a concubine, who knew that the concubine also died in childbirth, and this time the child did not survive, and not long after his father also died.

At that time, three-year-old Yier Li was raised by his sister, who died unexpectedly on his tenth birthday. Rumors spread in the village that he was full of evil spirits, a reincarnation of an evil spirit, specializing in seeking revenge.

From then on, Yier Li lived a life of contempt from adults and bullying from his peers. From one day to the next, he broke out and left the village, unable to bear it any longer. Halfway there, he met a demonic monk, who looked at his bones, divined his birth date, and then read his destiny.

"You and I are destined to meet here, and your destiny is so extraordinary," the demonic monk laughed, "I'll open the eyes of heaven for you to peek into the heavens, how about that?"

Yier Li nods in agreement.

The demon monks renamed him - Winking Art.

Demon monks teach him to count divination, break the cause and effect, divided lines, wen art a hard study, coupled with extremely talented, soon had a reputation, many people have to ask for him, ask him to occupy the marriage fortune, and so on, his days are getting better and better, but the misery of childhood, early so that he has lost the heart of compassion.

Compared to fortune-telling, he prefers to study the blood curse, a kind of curse, fortune-telling, of course, there will be a backlash, but the blood curse will backlash more powerful, but he does not care, his future, his life, all do not care.

The first step was fortune-telling, the second step was a curse, he had been walking on the edge of the cliff, completely unafraid of burning in the fire, plus the demon monk had been luring the bloody malice of his heart, making it even more impossible for him to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

The evil in Wenjiao's heart is temporarily suppressed until one day he is approached by Master Xuanjing of Sunwonji Temple, who preaches to him, instills in him the idea of compassion and mercy, and invites him to join Sunwonji Temple, promising him that he can return to the world at any time. He then falls in love with a woman named Lingling Ye, and marries her.

But the good times don't last long. In the second year of their marriage, the shadow of WENJI's life resurfaces again, when Lingling Ye dies in childbirth, the fetus stillborn, in a miserable state.

Because of this ridiculous destiny, Wenjiao completely blackened, using all kinds of blood spells to curse people. His wife was separated, his family was destroyed, he lost all his money, and he changed from a respected fortune-telling master to a demonic master who was feared by everyone, and in the end, the blood spell backfired, and he died without a body.

After reading this world line, Xu You walked to the foot of the mountain, only to feel a headache and foot pain, half of her life, she proceeded to read the content related to herself.

There is a family in this Jianan City, the Hu family. Hu Xiu Cai's father fought for most of his life, saved a family business, but before he had time to enjoy the day, he knocked his head and could not get up, Hu Xiu Cai's mother had some means, forced the concubine to go away, and then buried her husband, and painstakingly brought up her son, and provided him with the examination for the Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation of Cultivation.

Unfortunately, Hu Xiu Cai's body was so weak that he would get sick whenever he moved, and he was even bedridden in winter. His mother did not dare to force him to study any more, and told him to get a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, but unfortunately, he had too high an eye level and could not see the ordinary ones until he was captivated by a girl on the street named Xu You, who was at the age of marriage, and she came to the famous Sunwonji Temple to pray for a marriage. When Xu You was old enough to get married, she came to the famous Sunwonji Temple to pray for marriage.

The Sunwonji Temple is the most popular, many people not only come to worship Buddha, but also to find fortune-telling, Xu You saw from afar and was mesmerized by the fair and handsome man, who knew that Hu Xiu Cai put down a large amount of money as a bride price to marry her, her parents were money-minded, full of smiles to agree to the marriage, and also for the unfiliality of the name of forcing Xu You to marry Hu Xiu Cai.

Xu You can only bite the teeth with tears married over, who had thought that on the day of marriage, Hu Xiu Cai fell from the horse, with his father as much as knocked his head, in a moment of life.

Hu Xucai's mother was furious, pouring all the dirty water on Xu You, scolding her for being a scourge, and wanting to sweep her out of the house, and because of the marriage, Xu You has already been at loggerheads with her family, breaking off the relationship, and going back to not to mention the issue of face, and she has to be used as a bargaining chip, and go to someone else's house as a livestock in general.

She was reluctant, and cried pitifully, coupled with the staging of a play to death, saying that marrying a chicken follows the chicken and marrying a dog follows the dog, threatened to go to the Yellow Springs to accompany her husband, and then jumped into the lake, she was of course stopped, and the neighbors were dissuaded.

Hu Xiu Cai's mother had no choice but to give up, but from then on she was so depressed that when she saw Xu You, she suffocated with a rush of blood, and she died shortly afterward.

Xu You then became the only master of the Hu family, no one to control her, live as you wish, of course, she as a beautiful young widow, always be broken mouth, the woman told her to hurry to find someone to marry again, the man and one or two to find someone to matchmaking, she does not care, after so long by the parents scolding the domination of the day, she was not willing to go to someone else's home to serve people again.

Just once that glance back to see the peach blossom tree under the clear and handsome man, in her mind lingering, but also more and more clear, originally suppressed in the bottom of the heart of the feelings can no longer restrain, she thought, no one can no longer stop her like him.

In contrast to other women who are more subtle and only dare to make secret glances, Xu You is bold and direct, running to Sunwonji Temple every day, giving away food and clothes, and always approaching people, and she has been scolded by many visitors for not knowing how to behave, but she does not listen to them.

Of course, again compared to the other women, Wen Ji hates her even more, so much so that he almost hammered her to death like he did just now .......

After reading the original body's world line, Xu You had even more headache, this world is not at all as simple as she imagined, even more difficult, on one side is his white moonlight, on the other side is a nasty and annoying spirit, the discerning person knows how to choose.

Because the incense of Zenkuang Temple is so strong that a chain of industry has appeared at the foot of the mountain, there are cars specialized in transporting incense burners, rich people have their own carriages, and ordinary people like Xu You can take a small wooden cart.

These carts are more rudimentary, pulled by people and donkeys, with fewer horse-drawn carts and a creaking sound when walking.

Xu You paid the five cents and got on the cart, "East Lane Exit Hu's House."

It was a good thing there was a car, or she couldn't have gotten back with a one-legged hop, hopping until dark.

When the car traveled to the door of the house, the matron who watched the door came over to help her, "Aigoo, ma'am, what have you done to yourself."

Xu You bite tightly on the lower lip, really admire the original body's spirit of sacrifice, far from seeing Wen Ji, without saying a word to the person's arms to jump, also thought that you can get a perfect embrace, but also do not look at the back of the stone steps, Xu You really doubt that she is going to go to chase people, or go to get killed.

The maid Xiang He also rushed to help Xu You's other side, "Madam, should we go call the doctor?"

Xu You was helped to lie down on the bed, she took off her shoes and socks and saw that her ankle was swollen and bruised, so she ordered, "Bring medicinal wine, and fetch a basin of hot water."

Xiang He has been serving Xu You since she entered the Hu family, and is so skillful and efficient that Xu You dismissed the old servants to save money, but kept Xiang He.

Xiang He quickly fetched the medicinal wine and brought hot water.

Xu You asked Xiang He to apply the medicinal wine and help her rub her ankles and wrists, and he himself washed the fine sandy sludge from his hands with hot water.

In the following days, Xu You Gou stayed at home to recuperate from her injuries, and in his spare time he asked Xiang He to go to a street stall to get some talking books for her to read.

When Xu You had eaten and drunk enough, his face was rosy, and his wounds had almost recovered, he went to Sunwonji Temple.

She inserted incense and worshiped the Buddha, and after donating money for the incense, she breezed towards the Dharma room where Winking Art told people's fortunes, and was stopped by the monk before she could reach the door.

Monk: "Master You, dare I ask if there is a citation from Master Wenjiao?"

It may be that once upon a time, she harassed Winking Art so much that the monks at Sunwonji Temple knew her.

The book of citation is equivalent to the modern world's appointment, the master is not just to see, when Xu You was blinded by love, regarded money as dirt, and bribery of monks, and heavy money to buy the book of citation from other people's hands, in order to see the smell of the art, the tactics of all kinds of things.

Of course now Xu You, quite sober, sober to the heartache, she is a widow, there is no income, the equivalent of doing to eat and so on the mountain empty, not to mention the old age, in order to ensure the quality of life, she is not want to spend money indiscriminately.

Predictably, Xu You of course didn't see Wen Ji, and the next few times he came and spent money he didn't see Wen Ji because he wasn't there.

She suspected that Wenjiao had blacklisted her, and no matter how much she came, whether she spent money or not, with or without a book guide, she would never see him again.

After ten failures, Xu You finally understand why the original body in the stone steps stumble upon Wen Ji so excited, a hundred years of rare moments, of course, to seize the opportunity to have a close contact.

Of course, the failure is experienced, she learned that the smell of magic fortune-telling is in the law of the room, but he does not live with the monks in a nest, but in the temple set up a separate place to return to the WAN, and every day to listen to the Xuanjing masters preaching for an hour.

Winking art as a master is naturally a master's temperament, every three days fortune-telling one day, there is a book cited to be able to see him, but to whom he tells fortunes, but also depends on his mood, out of Sunwonji Temple, who can not be harassed to force him to tell fortunes, or else, the blacklist disposal.

Three days a work, food and shelter, and word of mouth is admired, as a jobless widow Xu You, tearful envy.

After running for half a month Xu You found yourself not sore, legs do not hurt, physical fitness rising, once she was bored, counting the steps while going up the mountain, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and then she asked the monk inside the temple to know, nine is the largest number of yang, all the way up the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, the most obvious sincerity, but also the closest to the Buddha's will.

There seems to be an allusion to a Buddha walked nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, through the sea of bitterness, universalizing all beings and so on, Xu You You are not very interested, then did not listen carefully. The stone steps are not straight upwards, and the point of bending the steps is also said to have feng shui.

Xu You is still most concerned about how to see Wen Ji, but if you can't see the people, everything else is just empty talk.

The original body was actively bold, but not nearly enough.

Wen Ji is fond of quiet, his return to leave the court in the temple in the innermost leaning against the back of the mountain location, there is no stone road, Xu You hard to go around the back of that, good to see a crooked-necked tree, she climbed this tree, and then over the wall jumped in.

The fence was a bit high, and even though Xu You landed on slightly bent knees and stepped on grass, the soles of his feet still ached.

The courtyard was large, with eight wooden pillars standing around it, red threads with bells hanging from them were woven around the pillars to form a red net, and the open space in the center was painted with spells, and the man in green sat on the ground, with three copper coins in front of him.

A light wind blows and the bells don't ring.

Xu You quietly watched, his jade belt binding crown, narrow eyes convergence outside hook, thin lips pursed, cold temperament such as pine like bamboo.

Not at all like the man she'd seen back then, the boy who'd meticulously lived a hard life, dirty and hungry, was completely gone, but where was his right hand? What had happened ......

Knowing that someone was coming, he did not raise his head to look at him, sitting with his back straight, slightly lowering his eyes, looking at the trigrams divined by the copper coins, and lifting the pen with his left hand to write the magic pattern on the yellow talisman paper.

Xu You approached and did not get annoyed, she used her finger to poke the bells on the red line, and at once the bells used were all ringing in unison, swaying violently from side to side and up and down.

Winking Art continued to ignore her, drawing charms smoothly with his left hand.

"Master," Xu You squatted down, both hands on his knees, and looked at him with a grin, "do you tell fortunes, and do you believe in fate?"

Wen Ji's expression was flat, as if he had not heard.

"It's all about you telling other people's fortunes," Xu You tapped his three copper coins with his knuckles, "Why don't you let me tell the Master's fortune."

"Master doesn't lack anything, why don't I calculate Master's marriage." Xu You said to himself.

The ringing of the bells stopped, and the midday sunlight, cut by the red thread, fell on the two men, and they could vaguely smell some of the sandalwood scent of the courtyard.

"Within five months," Xu You said, looking him in the face, word for word, "you and I shall be man and wife."

Wen Ji's eyelashes lifted slightly, the tip of the pen was given a beat, and the ink marks on the paper instantly fainted.
