Chapter 182: The Sign
"Nuwa Niangniang, please show your spirit and give me some guidance. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info tell me, is there any fate between me and Brother Song? β
Ling Xue reverently knelt on the rugs in front of the tall and solemn statue of Nuwa, her hands folded in front of her chest, her eyes slightly closed, and her mouth prayed softly.
This Nuwa temple is located on the mountainside, composed of three palace-style buildings with yellow walls and blue tiles and several side houses, covering an area of hundreds of acres. It's ten miles away from the cliff where Ling Xue fell. After Ling Xue followed Shi Tai through the mile-long dark cave at the bottom of the mountain, she came to this temple.
It is said that Nuwa Niangniang is the god in charge of the earth and marriage affairs. Asking for marriage at the Nuwa Temple is quite effective. This Nuwa temple is not far from Do'an City, and the incense is always quite vigorous.
Despite so many setbacks, Ling Xue was not dead set on Song Qi. She had heard her master say that fate was destined. It just so happened that this was the Nuwa Temple, and she wanted to ask for her marriage by the way.
She solemnly bowed to the statue of Nuwa three times, then picked up the bamboo stick holder in front of her, held it on her chest, and silently made a wish with her eyes closed: "I hope to shake the lot!" β
Then she raised her eyelashes, stared at the bamboo stick holder with wide eyes, and shook it up and down and left and right with both hands. The bamboo sticks jumped happily in the tube, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, jumping up one after another, and then they all fell back in disgrace.
"Sign up!" Ling Xue continued to shake while muttering silently.
Finally, like the stars and the moon, a bamboo stick was arched up by other bamboo sticks, and it was about to fall. Ling Xue hesitated for a quarter of an hour, but still gritted her teeth and shook the bamboo stick to the ground.
She put down the bamboo skewer holder, picked up the bamboo skewer that represented her marriage from the ground, twisted her fingers in the middle position, and didn't dare to look at the signature for a long time.
At this point, curiosity and fear quarrel in her heart, and the two sides are fighting each other like a tug-of-war.
In the end, curiosity prevailed.
She lifted the bamboo skewer and removed her fingers little by little. His eyes widened, and he waited with bated breath for the final answer.
But the final answer tore her fragile heart like a poisonous snake. All hopes, all expectations are dashed!
It turned out to be signed!
Nuwa Niangniang, do I really have no fate with Brother Song? Then why did God let us know?
"What is it?" Behind him, Shitai's kind and soft voice sounded.
Ling Xue was still kneeling with tears in her eyes, and handed the bamboo stick to Shitai with her backhand.
Mrs. Shi took the bamboo stick and read softly: "The flowers fall into the water ruthlessly, and the water flows in the mountains without intention." Go to the poor place of the water, and sit and watch the clouds rise. β
Ling Xue listened to the sign, her black pupils dilated, her eyelashes lifted slightly, she got up from the ground, and said to Shitai in confusion: "These first two sentences seem to have been said by you." Could it be that you arranged this bamboo stick? β
Mrs. Shi squinted at Ling Xue, shook her head and said, "Silly girl, why should I arrange it like this?" Besides, there are so many bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube, how can I arrange it? β
Ling Xue pouted and insisted, "You just want to let me die, so that I can accompany you here." Did you use your internal strength to deliberately shake out this bamboo stick? Your martial arts are so high, you should be able to do it! β
"Haha, you're so imaginative!" Shi Tai stroked Ling Xue's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "I also said that fate is destined, and I can't help it at all!" β
Ling Xue went up and took Mrs. Shi's hand, pestered her and said, "Mrs. Shi, explain to me, what do these words mean?" Although she had known Shitai for a short time, she intuitively felt that this person was a good person who was amiable and willing to help others.

Song Qi and Mao Yong traveled ten miles before they crossed the deep valley below, from the opposite side to the mountain, and climbed to the top of this cliff.
From the opposite side, it is a cliff, but standing on top of a cliff, there is no such feeling. It feels like a flat land on the top of a mountain. It's just that one side of this flat land is not very high but steep, and on the other side there is no edge, and there is an abyss below.
Looking at the opposite side from here, I found that the mountains on the opposite side were too short, but there was a good scenery in the distance on the opposite side, with lofty mountains and rolling hills, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance.
At this moment, the sun is low, and it is about to set on the distant mountains. The sun is like a giant orange, and the surrounding sky is also orange-red, as if an orange shop has been opened.
Ling Xue's horse was still on the cliff, sticking out its neck to eat the grass growing on the mountain, snorting and flicking its tail from time to time.
But Ling Xue didn't know where to go.
Song Qi couldn't help but sigh a little, alas, it seems that the only thing left for Ling Xue is this horse, and he is not even as good as this horse.
"Cher~"
"Senior Sister~"
There was no response to Song Qi and Mao Yong's call at all, the only response was the echo of their own voices after touching the distant mountains, or the sound of the empty breeze in the mountains crossing the treetops.
They shouted loudly and looked around. Where is Ling Xue's shadow?
Suddenly, almost at the same time, they both saw the broken stone on the edge of the cliff. The stone was large, about five feet in size, and it had broken against a corner of the cliff, and the break was still fresh, and it looked like it had just been broken.
Alas, it seems that Cher fell from here. Why couldn't she think about itγγγ
A deep guilt and resentment bit his heart like a snake, and he felt a pang in his heart.
He felt sorry for Ling Xue, and even more sorry for Master.
He beat his chest, cried bitterly, and said in a crying voice: "Xue'er, I hurt youγγγ You jumped off a cliff, and I don't want to live anymore! As he spoke, he jumped down the cliff.
Mao Yong's eyes were quick, he grabbed his wrist and dragged Song Qi, who had already leaned half of his body to the outside of the cliff, back from the edge of the cliff.
"Brother Song, you're crazy!" Mao Yong's eyes glared at Song Qi, although he was a little annoyed that the latter was angry with Ling Xue, but he didn't want to see the latter make any mistakes. He rebuked Song Qi loudly and said, "We clearly saw Senior Sister's sword stuck in the cliff on the opposite side just now. If she had fallen off a cliff, her sword would not have been there! β
Song Qi felt that his words were not unreasonable, with tears in his eyes, he squinted at Mao Yong, and asked, "If she hadn't fallen off the cliff, can you tell me where she is now?" β
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Mao Yong shrugged, "Let's find out." Her horse and sword are here, and people shouldn't go far. β
"Her sword is stuck in the cliff, people should have been there!" Song Qi bit his lip and leaned over the stone.
"Be careful!" Mao Yong was worried that Song Qi would do something stupid again, so he stared at him nervously all over his body, and reminded loudly from the side, "That stone has just been broken, and it doesn't look very solid." β
"It's fine!" Song Qi didn't look back, and continued to poke his head out and look down at the bottom of the cliff. (To be continued.) )
