The old fortune-teller looked at Li Xiuyuan in surprise.
"You didn't convert to Buddhism, so you're indeed a variable outside of the Heavenly Dao. It seems like you'll have to resolve this tribulation.”
His thoughts moved slightly, but he still looked flustered on the surface and said,"Young Master hit the nail on the head."
"On the day of the Qiantang River tide, there was a demon python that wanted to use this natural power to break through the Hidden Latch and help it transform into a snake!”
"It was also because of its actions that the Qiantang River burst its banks and flooded the people on both sides.”
"Ten thousand mu of fertile land and countless families have all suffered.”
Li Xiuyuan wasn't surprised to hear the old fortune-teller's answer.
"Which snake demon?"
The fortune-teller turned around and pointed outside the city, which was the upstream of Qiantang River.
"There is a Green Peak Mountain in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River. There is a Green Peak Treasure Cave in Green Peak Mountain. There is a snake demon who has been cultivating for five hundred years.”
Green Peak Treasure Cave, Great Immortal Green Snake.
Li Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows. It sounded familiar.
"Great Immortal Green Snake, could it be the green snake beside Bai Suzhen?”
"Now it seems that the green snake has yet to meet the white snake.”
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
He also heard that in the original novel, the green snake was originally a male and deeply loved Bai Suzhen, but Bai Suzhen had no feelings for him.
Later, Green Snake transformed into a woman and called Bai Suzhen sister, so she was able to stay by her side.
Whether it was related to Bai Suzhen or not, the green snake dared to cause trouble and cause the flood of Qiantang River.
Kill!
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed sharply.
Seeing this, the old fortune-teller felt a chill down his spine.
Unexpectedly, the rich young master in front of him was so decisive.
"Old sir, when will the Green Snake Immortal stir up trouble?" Li Xiuyuan asked in a low voice.”
"If it really dares to cause trouble during the tide of Qiantang River, I will definitely kill it!”
The old fortune-teller lowered his head and counted with his fingers. He suddenly raised his head and said,"Tomorrow, at three quarters in the morning, it will rain heavily, the river tides will surge, and the green snake will enter the water to stir up trouble!!”
"Alright."
Li Xiuyuan noted down the time, put down a silver ingot on the table, and turned to leave.
The fortune-teller suddenly called out to him.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
The fortune-teller hesitated for a moment and said,""You're from Tianning County, right?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded.
He had yet to tell the old fortune-teller his identity. The old fortune-teller was indeed quite capable to know Li Xiuyuan's birthplace just by relying on his birth characters.
The old fortune-teller said," The flood of the Qiantang River will not reach there. Since you have not converted to Buddhism and have awakened your supernatural powers, why do you need to take the risk?"”
Li Xiuyuan turned around and replied with a smile,"Old Sir, you are wrong."
"I…was wrong?"
The fortune-teller was startled. His mouth was slightly open, and his expression was one of shock.
He was proficient in divination and didn't miss anything. How could he be wrong?
Li Xiuyuan explained,"Buddhism doesn't save all lives, and it's not just Buddhism that saves all lives.”
"Besides!"
He paused, turned around, and waved his hand."I'm just repairing my zither for my wife and I'm lacking a python tendon.”
The old fortune-teller was stunned on the spot and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
He looked at the young figure that was gradually walking away and muttered to himself,""Yeah, who said that you have to convert to Buddhism to save the world?”
"How can all the people with lofty ideals who subdue demons and defend the righteous path in the world be monks!”
"On the other hand, the Buddhist Sect came out of the mountains to preach during the golden age of Da Qian, allowing the people to be filled with believers and temples.”
"But now that the demons and devils are in chaos, and they're curled up in the mountains, chanting scriptures day and night, saying that they're eliminating demons and protecting the Dao, there aren't many eminent monks walking among the people.”
"Sigh…"
The fortune-teller sighed deeply.
"A few days ago, I divined that the Qiantang River would flood and hundreds of thousands of people would be in trouble, so I sent a letter to Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple.”
"Unfortunately, I haven't received a reply yet.”
……
On the way back to Tian Ning County.
"Young Master, do you really believe the old liar's nonsense?" Ah Fu asked doubtfully.”
"Look at the weather. The sun is shining brightly. How can it rain?”
Li Xiuyuan rode on his horse and looked up at the sky.
The sky was blue and clear, without a single white cloud.
A brilliant sun hung in the sky.
Indeed, there was no sign of rain!
"The old liar even told me the time in such detail. I can't believe it."”
"If he was really powerful, why didn't he read his own fortune? He would have made a fortune long ago. Why would he be in such a sorry state?”
Li Xiuyuan shook his head.
"That fortune-teller is really capable. Moreover, there are rules for fortune-telling. One of them is that you can't tell your own fortune.”
"As for the reason, I don't know much about it, and I'm not interested.”
Soon after.
Li Xiuyuan muttered," Tomorrow at three quarters in the morning…Fine, I'll go to Qingfeng Mountain upstream of Qiantang River. I'll know if it's real or fake at a glance!"”
At midnight.
After practicing the Yin-Yang Joy Prose with Mengyao Zhao, Li Xiuyuan got up and went to the window.
Pushing open the window, what greeted his eyes was a rockery and a pond.
The water in the pond surged, and the lotus leaves were blown up.
A few trees on the side of the fake mountain were also blown by the wind.
The courtyard was filled with a scene of a storm brewing.
"The wind is blowing?"
Mengyao Zhao got out of bed and draped a brocade robe over Li Xiuyuan's shoulders.
"It's windy, and it looks like it's going to rain.”
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the deep night sky.
The darkness was boundless.
There was no starlight or moon.
Dark clouds covered the night sky.
"Looks like the fortune-teller's divination is true. I'm going out for a while.”
Li Xiuyuan turned around and returned to the inner room, changing into his black clothes.
Mengyao Zhao lit up the candle and lit up the room. She looked at him and asked,"Where are you going, husband?"
"Demon Slayer."
Mengyao Zhao was about to bring her along, but she remembered that her cultivation was low and the strings of the zither she used were broken. She could not use the Mysterious Eight Sounds of Heaven, so she had to give up.
"I will wait for your return."
Mengyao Zhao obediently sat back on the bed.
"Wifey, don't worry. I'll be back at dawn."
Li Xiuyuan changed his clothes and pushed the door open.
After a while.
A sonorous dragon's roar echoed in the sky above the Li Residence.
A golden dragon flew out of the Li Residence and disappeared into the dark night.
……
Beside the Qiantang River, Qingfeng Mountain.
It was three quarters in the morning.
It started to rain in the cloudy sky.
At first, it was just a few raindrops that fell on the surface of the Qiantang River.
But soon, a hole appeared in the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
Between Heaven and Earth.
It was completely submerged by the rain!
Not only that, a strong wind blew.
The Qiantang River's current was turbulent, and the waves were monstrous.
Several wooden bridges on the river were instantly destroyed, and some wooden boats were swallowed by the water.
Green Peak Mountain, Green Peak Treasure Cave.
A green snake demon with jade scales suddenly woke up from its slumber in the depths of the cave.
