Chapter 430: Who Was the Person Directing Her Life Behind the Shadows (8)

How could this be possible?

She had heard that Su Zhilan had tried to escape from the prison but had been taken back before she could climb out of the wall. She self-mutilated herself in prison and even threatened the police by cutting herself, but the police didn’t care at all and transferred her to the brig, where there was no sunlight.

It seemed that there was a big net, pushing everything forward and pushing all the original trajectories repeatedly.

Everything seemed to have no difference from her previous life. The only difference was that all the hardships that she had experienced happened to someone else.

When the truck driver died of poisoning in prison, Ji Nuan had suspected if Su Zhilan had something to do with her death in her previous life, if Su Zhilan had always regarded her as a thorn in her side?

Now, Su Zhilan’s story and her death were similar, except for the difference in place between Los Angeles and Hai City. Although there were some twists and turns, Su Zhilan’s fate was the same as her in her previous life. Everything returned to the origin of seven years in advance.

Who was driving all this?

Ji Nuan’s life was completely turned upside down in the previous life, but in this life, her life had been righted.

If everything had followed the trajectory in her previous life, her lifeline, which Su Zhilan had broken, had now fallen on Su Zhilan’s head. Did the murderer of her in her previous life take her place in this tragic fate? Did the murderer die of her own deeds in her previous life?

She could never have conceived such a fantastic idea if she wasn’t reborn, but she had to think it this way at the moment.

So, was this the fate’s arrangement, or man-made?

…

On the weekend, Ji Nuan accompanied Ji Hongwen to the temple.

Ji Hongwen had the habit of visiting the temple every year, but when Ji Nuan was little, Ji Hongwen was afraid that she and Ji Mengran, two little girls, would offend the gods and Buddhas in the temple, so he never brought them to the temple.

“After your mother died, I’ll come here whenever I have time. Go in and offer some incense to Buddha. “Ji Hongwen handed Ji Nuan three incense sticks that had been lit.

Ji Nuan took the incense and went in.

Then Ji Nuan accompanied Ji Hongwen to visit the various bodhisattvas in the temple for more than half an hour. Seeing that Ji Nuan seemed not accustomed to the atmosphere of the temple, Ji Hongwen patted her hand and said, “I’m going in to talk to a master I have known for many years. You can walk outside or sit in the shade and wait for me.”

Ji Nuan nodded. She rarely went home, so she was very patient. “Okay.”

After Ji Hongwen went inside, Ji Nuan turned around and stood for a moment in the temple’s bluestone brick road where people were fewer. Then she felt that the sun was too hot and turned to rest under an ancient banyan tree that had grown for many years.

She had heard that it was better not to touch a cell phone or take photos in the temple, so she took out her hand that had reached in her bag. Hearing someone next to her was shaking the divination stick tube and mumbling some words, she turned her eyes, only to find many people were drawing lots.

More than half an hour later, the afternoon was drawing near, and the crowd began to dwindle. She looked at the lot pot quietly, placed there, and didn’t know what she wanted to ask the gods. Perhaps she was too bored waiting here, she got up to pick up the divination stick tube and shook it as the others had done until a long, new red divination stick landed on the table.

Ji Nuan glanced at the perfect circle in gold drawn on the divination stick, wondering what it meant. She couldn’t figure out the meaning, so she picked up the other divination sticks in the tube and found that there were many words written on the divination sticks, such as “Best Luck”, “Bad Luck” and so on, but there were also some figures and words that she didn’t understand on the divination sticks. The contents of each divination stick were different.

She picked up the one that had fallen out before and turned to an old monk under the tree who was also enjoying the shades. “Master, can you explain the meaning of the divination stick for me?”

Just now, she saw that those who had got their divination sticks came to the master for an explanation.

The old monk took a look at her, then at the divination stick in her hand, and then widened his eyes in surprise. “Young lady, did this fall out on its own, or did you pick it out on purpose?”

“…Of course, it fell out.”

The old monk took her divination stick, looked at it carefully, and smiled. “Don’t you notice that the other sticks in the container have become lighter in color and look very old, but only this one is new?”

“Yes, I do.” Ji Nuan had just noticed it.

“Since ancient times, all temples’ divination sticks are of special significance. They carry faith, so it’s almost impossible to replace them without special circumstances. This divination stick is new because the former one was too old, and the circle on it had been worn off. This new divination stick was changed not long ago and hasn’t been weather-beaten, so it’s lighter than the others and hard to be shaken out. No one could shake it out, and you were the first to do it.”

Ji Nuan didn’t quite understand what he meant, but seeing the old mock all smiles, she asked patiently, “So? What does this circle stand for?”

“A circle is a line centered on a point. It always goes around a central point, following the same trajectory, without deviation or disconnection.” The old monk said with a smile, “It represents completeness. the completeness and origin returning of your life trajectory, which means that never again will you go astray.”

Ji Nuan looked at the circle on the divination stick and paused.

Returning to origin?

She had heard the words many times three years ago.

“If you get the old divination stick, the circle on it is not complete, and there are many breakpoints on it since it was long exposed to the weather. That divination stick indicates a crisis everywhere, but this new divination stick indicates that you have avoided those breakpoints. It’s strange that that old divination stick had been here for more than a decade but happened to be replaced before you came here. It looks like you’ve had some unusual experience and managed to avoid all misfortunes of your life. This new circle represents a new life, a perfect life.”

The old master saluted her with his hands clasped together, then turned and went on to explain the meanings of divination sticks to the others.

Ji Nuan stood still and looked at the new, unbroken circle on the divination stick.

A new life?

A perfect life?
