Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Causes and Consequences 5

Lu Jiang huffed and puffed, continuing to dig, while Feng Qingxue peered into the cave to take a look.

The cave was empty except for a bed, a small table, a set of bowls and chopsticks, a heap of earth forming a stove in the corner, and the small iron pot on it. Besides that, there was nothing else, including the clothes and bedding that Single Blind had in his lifetime.

Feng Qingxue glanced around but didn’t discern anything significant, so she turned back to watch Lu Jiang digging at the third spot.

Suddenly, a sound echoed from beneath the shovel, as it struck against metal!

Feng Qingxue immediately leaned closer and saw Lu Jiang unearth an iron box.

According to Lu Jiang, it should have been twenty-five years already, but the iron box showed no speck of rust. Extracted from the earth, it was as shiny as new, with cinnabar lines drawn on it that looked profound and mysterious.

"This is it! And it hasn’t rusted? Single Blind was indeed a sage!" The iron box wasn’t locked, and Lu Jiang opened it with ease.

"Eh, there’s more than just a brocade pouch inside!"

A red brocade pouch, a letter, and five Mutton-fat White Jade Gourds that looked nearly identical.

Feng Qingxue picked up the brocade pouch, and Lu Jiang unfolded the letter.

"Eh!" As soon as Feng Qingxue saw the two sets of birth characters on the red paper inside the brocade pouch, she was stunned. One was Lu Jiang’s, which she knew, but the other was her own from her previous life.

After Lu Jiang finished reading the letter, he handed it to Feng Qingxue, "Single Blind said he foresaw that we would come to find him, so he left a letter in advance."

"What does the letter say?"

"See for yourself."

Feng Qingxue exchanged the brocade pouch and the red paper containing the birth characters for the letter and then spread it open.

The paper was high-quality xuan paper, the ink was fine Hui ink, and the handwriting was fluid and vigorous, displaying great skill.

The letter was simple, mainly about the calculations related to the two sets of birth characters.

One was Lu Jiang’s, suggesting that without encountering that slim chance, he was destined to live and die alone, suffering from pain and leaving no descendants, as stated by Wang Zhengguo and Lu Jiang themselves.

The other set of birth characters was Feng Qingxue’s, identical to those on the red paper, with a description of the destiny outlined for these characters.

Feng Qingxue only saw the last line stating her lifespan would end on a certain day in 2018, precisely the day she time-traveled. The difference was that she had come here unknowingly in her sleep, while it stated that she would die through homicide.

Homicide? Feng Qingxue was shocked.

"I...," she stuttered, "How could I die from homicide? I rarely had any enemies. It seems like after I bought a bulk of supplies, I arrived here in my sleep, feeling utterly helpless and tearful."

"Keep reading down," Lu Jiang said.

In the letter, Single Blind offered a detailed explanation. He mentioned that when he was young, he had received great kindness from the Lu Family. Since Lu Jiang had sought him out, he reluctantly agreed to help by finding him a wife, to alter the fate of the Lu Family’s lack of descendants.

But he was human, not a fairy. He could only use the mysteries of metaphysics to seek a chance for change.

The night before Lu Jiang came to find him, Single Blind had observed the stars and discovered that among the newborn girls nearby, one was fated to be connected to Lu Jiang, not as husband and wife, as their birth characters did not match. This girl was also destined to die young. However, there was another girl in the future with the same name and surname who was indeed fated to be Lu Jiang’s wife, whose birth characters were compatible. Yet, time and distance separated them, and they were never meant to meet.

Fortunately, the girl of the future and the current girl had a mysterious connection, which would merge them into one when they were about to die. The condition was that there had to be a catalyst present on this side.
