Chapter 231 A twisted smile
“Miss Luo is very knowledgeable about hair matters.
Since hair can be used in witchcraft, it can also be used to pray for protection." An Luhai said with a hint of deep meaning.
Luo Xiaoran: ＜(￣ ﹌ ￣？？)＞
What are you barking at?
"When you pray for the health of your child, shouldn't you use your own hair or the child's mother's hair? Why use mine?"
An Luhai nodded. From Luo Xiaoran's perspective, the hair on the back of his head was also a mixture of black and white like his beard, and a little sparse, with a few small patches of white scalp faintly visible.
"The monk said that I had used up all my luck by having a child in my old age, and my two concubines were strong but couldn't have children, so they were also unlucky.
The monk said, among the women I know, there is one who is extremely blessed.
"Oh?" Luo Xiaoran seemed to be listening intently and pointed at herself:
"I guess I am the lucky one?"
"Yes, Miss Luo, when I think about the words written by the eminent monk, I realize that he is talking about you!"
An Luhai recalled what happened that day and his pupils dilated a little.
That day, he was upset about Yingchun and Qiuxiang's unstable pregnancies when he heard that a ragged monk came to the door and asked for him by name.
He was feeling upset and wanted to ask someone to drive the monk away, but because he had been observing a vegetarian diet and chanting Buddhist scriptures during these days, he did not want to directly confront the Buddhist disciples.
After a little hesitation, he went out anyway, wanting to see what tricks the beggar monk could play.
Just as the Rulai people said, the monk's face was gray and his features could not be seen clearly.
Although it was late spring, the weather was often getting cooler. The monk was only wearing a tattered grey cassock, with his chest exposed, and a pair of straw sandals with his four toes sticking out. Even An Luhai felt cold just by looking at him.
"The donor's family should have double happiness, but because there is too much resentment in the family and their good deeds are damaged, everything will be in vain in the end!" said the monk as soon as he saw An Luhai.
"You stinky monk, how dare you scold our masters!"
After the servant said this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit the monk in the face, but he fell to his knees with a plop about one meter away from him, and couldn't get up after struggling for a long time.
An Luhai was startled at once. He sensed that there was something strange about this monk, so he didn't care about him scolding him for "damaging his virtue" and asked tentatively:
"Master, do you have a solution?"
"Donor, do you know why we monks have to shave our heads?"
This question was not difficult for An Luhai, who had been fasting and chanting for several months. "Of course, it was to cut off the worldly past and devote myself to Buddhism from now on."
"The three thousand strands of black hair on your head represent everything in this world, including good fortune."
"What does the Master mean?"
"Find someone with unparalleled luck and use her hair to make up for the blessings that you lack."
"Where is this person?"
"It's a girl. Have you ever wanted to kill someone recently?"
An Luhai's expression suddenly changed, and his voice was no longer polite. "I am the father and mother official of Fuyuan. I plead for the people and I am fair and honest. How could I have the thought of killing?"
The monk smiled faintly and said nothing, "Oh, by the way, from my observation of your face, it seems that you will be in a period of great changes, so take care of yourself!"
After saying this, the monk left quietly without waiting for An Luhai's reply.
Strangely enough, as soon as the monk left, the servant who had been kneeling on the ground and unable to get up was able to stand up all of a sudden.
"Oh my God!" the servant couldn't help but exclaim.
An Luhai was startled by his shouting, and the servant thought that An Luhai would severely punish him for his recklessness, but An Luhai opened his eyes wide and ordered him:
"Quick! Follow that monk and find out where he is staying!"
The servant crawled away, An Luhai's chest heaving violently, and he kept muttering to himself:
"Impossible! That thing was done perfectly, no one would know about it, it's impossible..."
After repeating this over and over again for five or six times, An Luhai's emotions finally stabilized.
"It's impossible for anyone to know this, but the monk just now clearly meant this. If he wasn't just guessing, then he can really see through the secrets???"
"grown ups!"
The servant who had just gone after the monk came back soon, sweating all over his face and looking terrified: "He disappeared!"
"What disappeared!"
"The monk disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had vanished into thin air. I only found this treasure bag at the place where he last appeared..."
An Luhai snatched the brocade bag, which contained a piece of paper with instructions on how to borrow the blessings of a person with unparalleled fortune. It even stated that a person with unparalleled fortune was blessed by heaven and earth, and that more preparations must be made in order to successfully complete the "borrowing blessings" ceremony.
An Luhai didn't believe the monk's words at first, but the monk's words "When the star Kuixing shines brightly, the world will change drastically" echoed in his mind over and over again, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
When he was young, he was always awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night because he had a huge secret in his heart.
But as time passed, he no longer thought about that incident; it was too long ago.
He looked at his own glory and never regretted doing it.
Didn't he abandon his surname and his ancestors just to live the life of a Shangguan master?
He was just as well-read and studied hard day and night, but just because he was of low status, he could not take part in the imperial examination. How unfair!
No, God was still fair and let him meet the scholar who looked 90% similar to him.
The scholar was a loner, unknown, and an orphan. Very few people knew him.
So, the night before the exam, I led him to the lake...
From then on, I became An Luhai. I passed the imperial examination with An Luhai's identity. I brought honor to An Luhai's family. He should be grateful to me!
If someone knew about this, why didn't anyone expose it at the Qionglin Banquet after the palace examination that year?
He has been an official for twenty years, why has there never been any relevant news?
Why has no one come forward to say that he is not An Luhai for such a long time?
Therefore, the monk definitely didn't know about this either, so there was only one possibility:
The monk can be identified from his facial features, so he must be an eminent monk!
An Luhai showed a twisted smile on his face, his eyes seemed to be filled with madness, paranoia, fear, pride, excitement...
Uncertain whether the monk was pretending to be mysterious or he really had supernatural powers, An Luhai believed without hesitation that the monk could see through the secrets.
Because once it was determined that the monk was playing tricks, it would mean admitting that An Luhai's "substitution" had been discovered, and that the monk had found out about it by accident and came here to show off, which An Luhai could never accept.
Therefore, at this moment, he was biased and believed that the monk was a great monk, and a great monk who had attained enlightenment!
Because only a high monk who has cultivated to the point where he can see into the secrets of heaven could possibly guess a little about what happened back then.
