"Even though a Phoenix's life is good, it is a pity to be imprisoned for a lifetime."
Shen Miao's footsteps suddenly paused as she frowned at that Taoist priest and asked, "What did you say?"
That Taoist priest however turned his head away proudly and started to sing a little tune.
Jing Zhe said, "Young Lady must not take it to heart. Who knows where this swindler came from to speak nonsense." Even though one did not know why would people from the sect come to a Buddhist place, but this Taoist priest did not look proper, not to mention the sage-like demeanour of an ordinary Taoist. It seemed that he was just casually saying it and was no different from those swindlers on the streets.
Shen Miao looked to the front and Luo Xue Yan and Luo Tan had already entered and behind her, there were a few guards following behind and did not move forward. She pondered for a moment before sitting down on the small wooden stool in front of the Taoist priest's stall and said, "I want to have my fortune read."
"This poor Taoist's fortune is very precious."
Before the words were finished, Shen Miao took out a golden peanut from her bag. This was the thing that Su Furen gave her in the pouch. Most likely she was afraid that it would be rude to gift it too expensive, so it was a pouch full of golden peanuts so that it would be convenient to buy things.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were somewhat anxious when they saw this. The most expensive fortune told on the streets was only a few taels of silver, so why was there a need to use golden peanuts? But once Shen Miao had decided on something, there was no room to change it. Even though the two maids were anxious, they were helpless.
Shen Miao said, "If your fortune is accurate, then this golden peanut will belong to you. If it is not accurate, I will let people flip your stall and let the yamen come and arrest you for swindling. "
That Taoist priest smiled as he received the golden peanut and took out a pot of lots from his back. He shook it before handing it over to Shen Miao and smiled, "Young Lady draw two lots."
"Why do I need to smoke two?" Gu Yu could not help but ask, "Usually one is enough. Could it be …" She was suddenly enlightened, "One for safety and the other for marriage?"
Luo Xue Yan began to worry about Shen Miao's lifelong affairs, thus she also reminded the head maid beside Shen Miao. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu knew that the most important thing for Shen Miao to come to an ordinary temple was to throw the red string on the marriage tree. Now that the Taoist priest wanted Shen Miao to draw two lots, they naturally thought of this.
The Daoist priest shook his head and said, "Fortune-Telling."
"Why does one need two lots for fortune-telling?" Jing Zhe did not understand.
That Daoist looked at Shen Miao and stroked his beard as he smiled mysteriously, "Young Lady's destiny cannot be calculated with one stick."
Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the Taoist priest's confident look, she silently took the pot of lots and shook it. Two lots fell to the ground with a clatter.
That Daoist picked up the stick and looked at it. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were somewhat nervous. The Daoist priest shook his head and said, "Trapped in the Phoenix Cage, life is in danger, causing trouble. In front of the Guillotine Platform, it's all empty. "He said," This is a great misfortune! "
When these words were said, Jing Zhe's and Gu Yu's expressions changed. What was called great omen and what was called guillotine? Jing Zhe said, "What a good Fake Taoist. Full of nonsense, who are you trying to deceive? I think you're a liar. I'm going to report this to the authorities! "
"Hey, hey, hey," the Daoist priest said, "What's the hurry? Why can't the little girl keep her cool? Isn't there another stick here?"
Shen Miao's heart was pounding.
Trapped in the Phoenix Cage was when she was trapped in the Cold Palace of the Nine Palaces and her struggles were fruitless. To cause trouble and implicate others, the entire Shen family was annihilated. Wasn't this the guillotine platform? She worked hard and put in effort for Fu Xiu Yi to sit firmly on the Emperor's throne but at the end it was all in vain. Fu Xiu Yi only gave her three feet of white silk. Even Wan Yu and Fu Ming did not survive and he did not leave anything behind. How was it not all in vain?
