Chapter 16: A Symphony of Fate

"Hey, awesome, you're scaring me!" Alice sat on the stool and stepped back, looked at Li Ling, and stared at her big eyes, "What's going on?" Why are you asking me who I've met recently, or what strange things have happened?

"Aren't there many strange things happening around me? My mommy doesn't smoke, drink, or touch drugs, and she and David have regular and healthy lifestyles, but who knows, she will give birth to a rabbit lip!

"David got his driver's license when he was seventeen, drove a car for twenty years, never had an accident, never even touched a potted plant next to the wall, and who knew he would suddenly rear-end and crash into a sanitation truck and get seriously injured!

"And Barty, he's been refusing to go into his room to sleep or eat these days, and you know he's been very well-behaved and lively...... Wow, do you think these things are strange?

"I know you've always had whimsical ideas, ideas and great ideas, which is why you're the best and brightest student at John Stanley Private High School.

"But now, I really need to be comforted and relaxed, and if you could appreciate what a terrible and horrible thirty hours of my life I have been through, maybe you wouldn't have asked me that question and made me tense my nerves again, and it made me feel very bad!"

"Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry!" Li Ling knew that he had indeed scared her, and quickly apologized, "You know that I have always been very restrained, but ...... What, you say Barty won't go into his little room these days? ”

This honest and cute bulldog is a birthday gift from Liling to Alice last year, Alice likes bulldogs very much, and one of Liling's mother's business customers at home, there happened to be a female bulldog gave birth to a cub, Liling asked his mother to ask for one to give to Alice, almost a year, this little guy has grown very tall now.

"Yes, he's always wandering outside his room these days, he just won't go in and sleep, he has a bad appetite, and he's very impatient, and I'm about to take him to the pet clinic, and then these things happen at home......" Alice said and covered her face, her voice a little hoarse, "Calendar, you know, for me, it's like the end of the world has come......"

At this time, Alice's aunt came over, saw Alice's sad state, hugged her and comforted her gently.

The question marks and doubts in Li Ling's heart are even worse, could it be that even the special member of Grant's family, the pit bull, has not escaped the curse of the arithmetic of winning?

Of course, these things no longer surprised him for Li Ling, what shocked him was the Si Ming pattern on Alice's forehead.

The life pattern on Alice's forehead was so strange that it made Li Ling's hairs stand on end.

The "Book of Luban" inherited in his mind has the seventy-two life patterns of the ancestor under the "Physiognomy Chapter", and there are seventy-two life patterns on the forehead of the person, and each life pattern corresponds to the life and breath of the master in the atmosphere of "heaven, earth and man".

And one of the most important lines is the "Si Ming pattern", which is also the most important incision and basis for Lubanshu carpenters to look at people.

The pattern is the main sign of the human body's heavenly cycle and humane interpretation, and its pattern breeds and changes in its direction, such as length, direction, peaks and valleys, bifurcations, etc., all of which confirm the birth, old age, sickness and death, misfortune and good fortune, the passing years, and the future of life.

According to Li Ling's earlier inference, Alice should have been contaminated with some evil and heretical things these days, so she broke the Luban Law Bureau held by the third senior brother.

But after coming to the hospital to see her, Li Ling didn't see any heresy in her!

It stands to reason that if a person encounters something unclean, a person who is proficient in Luban can see it at a glance, because its seal hall will definitely suddenly become evil, which is the so-called "bad luck" of the folk.

After Li Ling saw Alice in the hospital, she didn't see the black pattern on her seal hall at all, and the aura of the human body around her was also normal!

Human beings are the masters of the living beings between heaven and earth, so the aura of the human body is far higher than and different from the aura of any other creature and object, and people who are proficient in Luban art do not need to look closely at all, and can even feel the breath and aura of the nearby human body with their eyes closed.

This shows that Alice should not have been touched by any evil and heretical things, Li Ling was relieved at the time, there may have been someone else who had been touched by these things, maybe there was another 17-year-old foreign girl at the scene of Chen Siye's new house at that time.

But for the sake of safety, Li Ling took advantage of Alice's eating, and took a good look at the Si Ming tattoo on her forehead, which didn't matter if he looked at it, and when he saw it, he was terrified for no reason.

Alice's Si Ming Pattern, when it was about to be handed over to the first twenty years of the Three Yuan Nine Fortunes, suddenly scattered into three strands in the three directions of Heavenly Court, Central, and Underground Hall, and then disappeared in the human body's Hundred Rings!!

That is to say, when she was less than twenty years old, her life pattern suddenly split into three and became three tributaries, the key is that these three tributary lines were all immediately hidden from the human world, and disappeared without a trace on the forehead!

According to the mastery of Lu Ban technique, Li Ling realized that Alice definitely had a big . Troublesome.

In the ups and downs of a person's life, it is true that occasionally more than two tributary lines will grow, but no matter whether they breed two or three, or more, there will definitely be a main stream that will continue and extend until the end of its life.

If the main stream of the streak is suddenly interrupted and disappears, there is only one human life as a sign: the person is dead or about to die.

But the strange thing about Alice's destiny pattern is that it was divided into three before Alice was destined to be transported to Yiyun (which should have been when she was eighteen years old), and the main stream and tributaries were completely invisible, and the three tributaries were interrupted at the same time!

The main stream of the Si Ming pattern is broken and people are about to die, but the main stream is divided into three tributaries, not only is there no main stream, but the three tributaries are interrupted at the same time, and they are hidden in the three directions of the heavenly court, the center, and the earth hall on the forehead.

According to Li Ling's mastery of Lu Ban technique, this can only show that Alice is about to reach the end of her life - death, when she is eighteen years old.

But-

The luck that sprouts from her human body's qi will still store the three qi luck lines of the heavenly court, the center, and the earth hall, so even though she will die soon, her life qi luck is still there!

Today is July 26th, but Li Ling clearly remembers that Alice's birthday is October 21st!

In other words, in less than three months, Alice, will die.

But......

According to the law of "when a person dies, his luck is destroyed", the luck of any person or creature who dies will dissipate immediately at the moment of his death, and merge into the aura of the universe.

But the luck of people who die and live is not extinguished, which shows that ...... This is indeed a kind of "spiritual evil" that Lu Banshu thinks!

"Alice, can I take the liberty of asking to be alone with you for a while?" Li Ling saw that Aunt Alice was still comforting her, and immediately said.

Aunt Alice smiled at Li Ling, then patted Alice on the shoulder and walked away.

Li Ling walked to a picture window in the hallway outside the ward, and Alice walked out.

"Well, I'm glad you're here tonight, you know, I'm ...... you Unlike the other boys, although those boys are all white, they ......" Alice stared at Li Ling tightly, and her face was filled with a trace of shame that is rare for white girls,

"I've never found out where they're better than you, though they're taller, they're stronger, they're more attractive, they're more attractive to girls, but, you know, I'm just ...... That's why I'm only asking you to stay with me tonight.

"Hey, you've been accepted to the best university in the United States, but I've only applied to the State University of New York...... But I know you're not going to leave me, are you? ”

"Uh......" Li Ling didn't expect her to say this topic at this time, indeed, subconsciously, he has always used college as a reason to escape from her, although this girl is not so strong and stubborn, but Li Ling is not willing to deal with his relationship with her hastily, and college is definitely a good excuse and safe haven.

In an instant, the essence of his mother's constant nagging in his ear appeared in his mouth: "Alice, you are only 17 years old, do you know that a person at this time, if he can devote all his energy to studying, his wealth and fame in the future will benefit from this time, such as Newton, Einstein, Edison-"

"My mommy gave birth to me when she was 17." Alice stroked her brown hair, and her pale blue eyes shimmered like stars, "And, in three months, I'll be 18 years old, I'll be an adult, and I know what I'm doing." ”

Three more months?!

Li Ling's heart skipped a beat, if the Luban technique he mastered was not wrong, in another three months, would the young and beautiful white girl in front of him still exist in this world?

Li Ling immediately shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alice, I have never left you, I will always live in Manglai Town, New York, and study at Columbia University in New York, and you also live in New York, and you also study in New York, and you also study in New York-"

"But that's why I'm looking for you tonight." Alice's face suddenly sank, "My dad decided to settle in the UK, and he asked me to go to the UK and go to the UK to study at university.

"And I don't seem to have a reason to refuse, after all, the UK has a better university and academic atmosphere...... But, well, in New York, apart from my mommy, the only thing I can't give up is that I want to come and go, and it's only you-"

"Alice, you're a Christian." Li Ling interrupted her.

"yes, what's wrong?" Alice wondered why Liling had come up with such incoherent and incomprehensible words at this juncture.

"I remember you said before that you would keep the creed of Christian women who are abstinent and faithful to their husbands." Li Ling looked at her, and the look in his eyes became cold.

"Well, yes, I remember." Alice's eyes fluttered, shrugged, and stared into Liling's eyes.

In other words, you will wait until your wedding night, and then you will ...... Put your body, oh, you're going to give your first time with your husband, right? After Li Ling finished speaking, he felt that his face was hot, and his expression was a little unnatural.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Alice was a little annoyed, "Are you worried that I will be unfaithful to you?" Oh! Jesus Christ! Like you said, I'm only 17 and you're 18!

"Great, we're so young and haven't gone to college yet, don't you think it's too far away and ridiculous to talk about marriage now? I like you, but I didn't think I'd marry you!

"Besides, I don't want to be like my mommy and give birth to a goddamn bastard when I'm 17! Oh, of course, this kid is my ...... But I'm not going to talk about marriage or children at this age—"

"Alice, that's not what I meant." Li Ling shook his head slightly, "What I want to say is that you broke your promise as a Christian, right?" ”

"You...... What do you mean? Alice's expression suddenly became alert.

"If I'm not mistaken, you broke your promise to God three days ago, and you're no longer a virgin." Li Ling turned around, looked at the night scene in the suburbs of New York City, and sighed deeply,

"Alice, tell me all this, because it's important to you and to me, and maybe it's about your fate and the trajectory of your life in three months."
