Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Returning to My Mother’s Home 5

Dan Xianzi?

The old people present were unclear about who this person was, and both Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue didn’t know either, probably anyone under fifty from Wanglou Brigade didn’t recognize Dan Xianzi. However, Lu Jiang’s father remembered his parents mentioning the abilities of Dan Xianzi.

Dan Xianzi was a Feng Shui master, possessed exceptional talent in the realm of metaphysics, but because he revealed too much of the heavenly secrets, he was afflicted with the "Five Flaws and Three Absences": no wife, no children, blindness in one eye, a crippled leg, and unable to retain wealth. He hid alone in the mountains under a pseudonym, out of reach from the blows of the outside world.

"What did Dan Xianzi say?" asked Lu Jiang’s father.

Wang Zhengguo cleared his throat and, lowering his voice, said, "He went to the location of your family’s ancestral grave under the guidance of your family’s old master and mine. He also lingered in front of your house for a while, saying that your descendants would rise to generals and ministers, bringing glory to one and all, and would bring blessings to the Wanglou Brigade. I knew Xiaoxue and Xibao’s dates and times of birth; the old master insisted I tell Dan Xianzi so he could divine a clear answer."

Lu Jiang frowned, and his father understood, "Are you talking about Third Uncle? The Lu Family only has one old man over ninety years old closely related to our branch. He did have dealings with Dan Xianzi, who helped him avoid calamity twice, so he has utmost faith in Dan Xianzi’s abilities."

Wang Zhengguo nodded, "Dan Xianzi said that the main line of the Lu Family was destined for glory with generations of ministers and generals, but the offspring were not prosperous. This so-called glory would end with Tianjun, with no one to follow."

"That’s nonsense!" Lu Jiang’s father was displeased. Saying that the Lu Family’s offspring were not prosperous was indeed the cruelest curse. Their family was thriving now, with four grandchildren and even more on the way still in the daughters-in-law’s wombs.

"Hear me out, no need to rush!" Wang Zhengguo asked Lu Jiang to pour him a bowl of warm boiled water. After moistening his throat, he continued under everyone’s curious gazes, "But all this changed seven years ago. He said Xiaoxue was the variable. After being vague for a bit without clarity, he directly stated that Xiaoxue’s fortune now intertwined with your family’s, inseparable, altering the fate of your offspring not being prosperous."

Feng Qingxue, upon hearing this, involuntarily looked towards her uncle, feeling anxious and uneasy. Could Dan Xianzi have seen something?

Could the vagueness from Dan Xianzi mean the owner of the ’Eight Characters of Birth’ he referred to was already dead?

Wang Zhengguo continued, "Dan Xianzi also said that Xibao was not meant to be born, yet he was born, and that is also the variable. He mentioned the child is blessed with an extraordinary fate, will always have favorable winds and waters throughout his life, and even in face of disaster, it will turn auspicious, transforming bad luck into good."

Lu Jiang’s father said, "That last part sounds reasonable, but the rest is just nonsense again. What do you mean not meant to be born? Ajiang and Qingxue are a match made in heaven; isn’t the birth of their child a matter of course?"

Wang Zhengguo simply shrugged; he did not understand why Dan Xianzi would say such things.

"Uncle, did Dan Xianzi say anything else?" Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but ask, growing more anxious. She wondered if it might be necessary to meet this person her uncle spoke of as if a deity.

After a moment’s thought, Wang Zhengguo replied, "Oh, Dan Xianzi instructed me to tell you that the Mandarin Duck Book written at your marriage must be burned by Ajiang. It has to be burned at your parents’ graveside, and he must kowtow to apologize, because the ’Eight Characters of Birth’ on it pertaining to you are inaccurate. That book is not for you and Ajiang. Keeping it will harm the Lu Family’s fortune."

Lu Jiang immediately said, "Qingxue’s ’Eight Characters of Birth’ on the Mandarin Duck Book are inaccurate? Then it must be burned. We can’t keep it."

He had married Feng Qingxue, the beautiful, kind, and talented woman before him. Even if it was the ’Eight Characters of Birth’ on the Mandarin Duck Book, he could not bear it if they were not hers.
