Outside the Incineration Moon City, a barefooted old man in a simple green robe with white hair and beard walked over slowly.
The old man held a piece of canvas in his hand. On the canvas were the words "Divine" and "Fortune Telling".
When he reached the gates of Incineration Moon City, the barefoot old man stopped in his tracks and lifted his head to look at the snowy Incineration Moon City. His weathered face revealed a profound smile.
"After waiting for so long, this day has finally come."
After a short pause, the old man walked into the Incineration Moon City.
…
It was already late at night, but the Incineration Moon City Governor's residence was still brightly lit. A large number of people were hurrying back and forth.
In front of the door of the inner courtyard, a few figures stood there, waiting anxiously. The one pacing back and forth in front was the Governor of the Incineration Moon City, Zhuo Yunfeng.
"It's been so many hours, why hasn't the little brat been born yet?" Zhuo Yunfeng cursed as he walked.
"Father, don't be too anxious. You've already waited for nine years and nine months. What's a mere few hours to you?" A sixteen or seventeen year old youth with a cold expression said with a smile.
This youth was Zhuo Yunfeng's eldest son, Zhuo Peng.
Zhuo Yunfeng had a son and a daughter. He also had an elder daughter, but she was not in the Incineration Moon City.
"What do you know? It's because the little brat has been in your mother's womb for nine years and nine months that I'm anxious," Zhuo Yunfeng said.
Zhuo Peng smiled bitterly, but did not say anything else.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked in.
"Master, there's a Taoist outside the door," the servant said.
"It's already so late, what Taoist? I won't see him." Zhuo Yunfeng waved his hand. He was so anxious that he did not have the time to see an irrelevant Taoist.
"Master, that Taoist calls himself Xuanshen Daoren. He said that as long as I tell you his name, you will definitely see him," the servant said.
"Xuanshen Daoren?" Zhuo Yunfeng was stunned. Even Zhuo Peng was surprised.
Xuanshen Daoren … He was a well-known figure in the Anjiu Commandery. It was said that even the governor of the Anjiu Commandery was extremely respectful to Xuanshen Daoren.
Many of the big families and top powers in the Anjiu Prefecture all said that he was a god.
Many people even speculated that Xuanshen Daoren might be a super expert.
Such a big shot was not someone that a small Governor like him could afford to offend. Normally, it was almost impossible for him to meet him. But now, this Xuanshen Daoren actually came to visit him in person?
"Is it really Xuanshen Daoren?" Zhuo Yunfeng was unsure.
"I don't know, but he said so himself," said the servant.
"Then hurry up and invite him in." Zhuo Yunfeng waved his hand as soon as he finished speaking. "No, I'll go welcome him myself."
As he said that, Zhuo Yunfeng and Zhuo Peng walked out of the mansion.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the mansion. There was indeed a barefooted elder in a green Taoist robe standing there with a smile on his face.
Zhuo Yunfeng took a closer look. Just from his attire, this Taoist in front of him looked exactly like the legendary Xuanshen Daoren. Furthermore, this Taoist in front of him gave Zhuo Yunfeng a mysterious feeling. It was as if this Taoist was a vast ocean, and Zhuo Yunfeng could only guess that he was a drop of water in the ocean.
"It is definitely Xuanshen Daoren." Zhuo Yunfeng was reassured. He immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Taoist. I am Zhuo Yunfeng."
"Governor Zhuo, you are too polite. I should be the one greeting you." Xuanshen Daoren returned the greeting.
"May I know why you are here tonight?" Zhuo Yunfeng asked humbly. If it was any other time, if Xuanshen Daoren came to visit personally, he would definitely invite Xuanshen Daoren in for a detailed discussion. However, he was anxious about the situation in the inner yard today. Hence, he did not want to chat too much with Xuanshen Daoren.
"Governor Zhuo, to be honest, I am here today for the little fellow who is about to be born in the inner yard." Xuanshen Daoren smiled.
Hearing this, Zhuo Yunfeng and Zhuo Peng were shocked.
The maids and servants beside them were also shocked.
It should be known that the Governor's wife, Luo Xinqin, was pregnant for nine years and nine months. The child was not born. This was not something worth announcing. Hence, Zhuo Yunfeng had instructed them not to spread any news about the inner yard. For example, the baby in Luo Xinqin's womb was about to be born today. Other than some people in the inner yard, no one else knew about it.
But now, Daoist Xuan Shen could predict the future and knew that the fetus was about to be born.
"Governor Zhuo, aren't you going to invite me in?" Xuanshen Daoren smiled.
Zhuo Yunfeng reacted immediately. "How would I dare? Please come in."
Under the lead of Zhuo Yunfeng and Zhuo Peng, Xuanshen Daoren also came to the door of the inner yard.
Once he arrived, Zhuo Yunfeng could not remain calm anymore. He started pacing back and forth.
Xuanshen Daoren saw this and smiled. "Governor Zhuo, you don't have to be so anxious. Your wife and the baby in her womb will be fine. It's just that the time is not up yet. Hence, the baby has not been born yet."
Zhuo Yunfeng immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at Xuanshen Daoren. "You are saying that the time is not up yet. When will the baby be born in my wife's womb?"
"In the middle of the night, and in the last hour." Xuanshen Daoren smiled.
Hearing this, everyone present frowned.
"How can you be so sure?" Zhuo Yunfeng asked.
Although the outside world had always described Xuanshen Daoren as a god, Zhuo Yunfeng had never seen it with his own eyes. He was still skeptical.
"I have observed the weather. The snow that has been falling for nine years and nine months will completely stop in the last hour of the night. At that time, the snow will have been falling for nine years, nine months, and nine days!"
"Nine is the number of heaven and earth. Three nines is the number of levels. At this point, the snow will stop. Naturally, the baby in your wife's womb will be born." Xuanshen Daoren said.
Hearing this, Zhuo Yunfeng's suspicions grew.
Zhuo Peng, who was beside him, said directly, "Isn't what you said a little too far-fetched? What three nines? According to what you said, if the baby in the mother's womb was born ten hours later, wouldn't it be nine years, nine months, nine days, and eighteen hours? Wouldn't that be four nines? Also, how do you know that the baby in my mother's womb is a boy? "
"Peng 'er, don't be rude." Zhuo Yunfeng scolded. But in his heart, he thought so too.
Xuanshen Daoren's words were too far-fetched. He could not believe it.
But in the face of his doubts, Xuanshen Daoren only smiled faintly. "Just watch."
Time passed.
"Master, it's already midnight," a servant said.
"Mm." Zhuo Yunfeng nodded slightly.
Another hour passed.
"Master, it's already the last hour of midnight," the servant said again.
But the servant did not finish his sentence.
"Wow!"
