Chapter 42: My House is by the Sea!
Monk Jiekong did not mention asking Gu Yu for help, and seeing this, Gu Yu was too lazy to remind him.
Currently, following Jiekong into the temple, Gu Yu was also very curious about what his fate would be.
If it were normal, perhaps he would have a short life, and then be reincarnated as a monster…
After all, when Gu Yu transmigrated, the original owner of this body had already died.
However, perhaps the fortune-telling at Yunlong Temple was just a rumor, and in the end, it would only predict a prosperous life, and more incense money would bring more wealth.
“Please, Benefactor Gu, draw a lot.”
As Gu Yu was thinking about these things, Jiekong led him to the Buddha statue, but Gu Yu did not follow the local custom of kneeling on the prayer mat and praying to the Buddha statue piously.
He just stood there.
When Jiekong came over with the bamboo cylinder, he saw that Gu Yu did not kneel, but he did not get angry. Instead, he remained as peaceful as before.
Seeing Jiekong’s attitude, Gu Yu felt much more comfortable.
It wasn’t that he wanted to be different, but that he didn’t believe in these things.
Since he was not a devout follower of the Buddha, what was the point of kneeling and making a wish!
Therefore, it was better to just stand.
He reached out and took the bamboo cylinder from Jiekong. Gu Yu did not hesitate. He held the cylinder with both hands and shook it up and down. When a bamboo lot suddenly jumped out, Jiekong immediately reached out and took the lot.
“May I ask Benefactor Gu, what did you pray for just now? For example, marriage, career, health, etc…”
“Marriage.”
Hearing Jiekong’s question, Gu Yu thought about how he was just thinking about how many children he would have with his wife, and immediately said a word.
However, he did not say it all, just the vague word “marriage.”
Let’s see Jiekong’s ability.
“Benefactor Gu, the lot reads: ‘A blissful marriage is destined, unseparated until oceans dry and stones rot. Good things come in pairs for great auspiciousness, and one can be blessed with health and eternal freedom from disaster.’ This is the highest grade. You and your wife will surely grow old together, and you will have a son and a daughter, and your family will be blessed with no disasters.”
“Two children…”
After hearing Jiekong’s interpretation, Gu Yu felt very pleased. Thinking about having two children with his little wife in the future, it felt quite good!
If he had too many, Gu Yu was afraid his little wife would suffer. Two would be good.
I wonder when they will have children…
Pity that Gu Yu is still a virgin. Not to mention children, he can’t even touch his little wife now. He’ll have to wait until she’s an adult.
“I observe that Benefactor Gu has the appearance of a true dragon. Although your early life was wandering and lonely, and your fate was difficult, you have already defied fate and soared into the sky. Unfortunately, a dragon in shallow water is confined in one place and cannot spread its wings. Your great future has fallen into mediocrity.”
“Haha, even a true dragon has to be alive! And if something is done willingly, can it be called confinement! That was my own choice. Even if others feel it’s a pity, I, Gu Yu, will never regret it in my life.”
“Benefactor Gu has already made up his mind?”
“Others laugh at my madness, and I laugh at their inability to see through it… I have never had any doubts, so how can there be a decision to make.”
Just as Gu Yu was still thinking about himself being a pitiful virgin, and that he would get some ‘benefits’ from his little wife tonight, Jiekong spoke some ambiguous words again, which made Gu Yu frown, thinking that this old monk was really annoying!
He’s interfering too much, my house is by the sea!
Although he was of royal blood, and had even had the opportunity to ascend to the throne, Gu Yu had no thoughts about these things.
He just wanted to be with his little wife, whether it was in the countryside or in high towers, it was all fine!
Therefore, don’t impose your ideas on him, it’s useless.
Jiekong looked at the determined expression on Gu Yu’s face, clearly unable to persuade him, which made him sigh, thinking that this was fate!
After Empress Bai Qian’s regency, the future of Linfeng Kingdom became a mystery.
Even he could not see through the heavenly secrets and know future events.
However, there were still some leaks from the heavenly secrets… one of them was that Gu Yu controlled the destiny of Linfeng Kingdom.
Originally, Jiekong thought that Gu Yu had to sit on the throne to ensure Linfeng Kingdom’s peace for a hundred years… but now, he seemed to have thought wrong.
He, a mere mortal, could not see how the future would unfold…
Suddenly, Jiekong seemed to have aged more than ten years. Gu Yu, standing beside him, quickly stepped back, worried that the old monk Jiekong would extort him!
“Abbot Jiekong, we found this person on the mountainside. Someone must have deliberately caused trouble at Yunlong Temple. I believe we will get the answer after questioning him.”
“Thank you, benefactor, for your assistance.”
“You’re welcome. This is also my husband’s intention. Please don’t mind our disturbance this time. We’ll be leaving the mountain now.”
Just as Jiekong was lost in thought, Mengyao Gu threw the person she was holding at Jiekong’s feet. After stating the identity of this person, she did not stay at Yunlong Temple any longer and turned to leave directly.
Such an impolite attitude made Jiekong smile bitterly, thinking that he had still offended Mengyao Gu.
What Jiekong and Gu Yu had said earlier was not intentionally lowered in volume, so Mengyao Gu, who had followed them, heard it all clearly.
Mengyao Gu was not stupid, so she naturally understood what Jiekong meant.
It was because of her that Gu Yu was trapped.
His destiny, which should have been the emperor, was now that of an ordinary citizen, with no official position.
Regarding this, although Mengyao Gu was angry, she could not say anything.
Because, that was the truth.
She had burdened Gu Yu.
“Abbot Jiekong, I have helped Yunlong Temple resolve its calamity, and the good karma of the dagger has also been repaid. Please do not come to me again in the future.”
When Gu Yu saw his little wife getting angry, he didn’t say any more to Jiekong. After saying “we are quits,” he immediately got up and chased after his wife.
Only Jiekong was left standing there, sighing softly. As the wind blew, his voice could no longer be heard.
…
“Wife, what’s wrong!”
“What can be wrong? I’m in a bad mood, I want to hit someone!”
“Hmm, then I’ll find some bad guys who do evil deeds for you to beat to your heart’s content!”
“I want to hit you.”
“…Murdering your husband!”
When Gu Yu caught up with Mengyao Gu, her anger had not subsided.
Looking at Gu Yu’s smiling face, Mengyao Gu felt very uncomfortable.
She didn’t know if she was angry at him or at herself.
If Gu Yu hadn’t met her, perhaps he would have become the emperor of Linfeng Kingdom long ago.
“Mengyao, don’t think so much! Don’t say how good the throne is. In my eyes, even silver is better than the throne! Moreover, I want to grow old with you!”
“Even if you say that, but…”
“Didn’t that old monk say just now that we would have two children! A boy and a girl, I wonder what their names will be!”
“I’ve already thought of names, the girl’s name is Gu Xiao…”
However, Gu Yu was also good at coaxing people.
Seeing that he could not immediately appease his little wife, he quickly shifted the topic to the children.
Mengyao Gu loved children the most!
Especially, their children.
