Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Haven’t Shown it to the Ancestors

Xia Xin had a face full of question marks; it was nearly noon, and the temple never had the custom of offering incense at high noon.

Who would come?

Xia Xin scratched his head, wanting to ask, but seeing Jiangli’s expression that suggested some secrets of heaven must not be revealed, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Forget it.

Since the ancient ancestor said that someone would come to invite them to eat,

he would not bother cooking!

Just as well—it saved trouble!

Xia Xin, feeling delighted, ran over to Jiangli, sat down with his phone in hand, and continued to deal with matters on his phone.

Yesterday, Jiangli did divinations for five people, but until now, only four had provided feedback, with one person still not coming forward.

The netizens also had nothing better to do, all waiting for news. Growing impatient, they would occasionally stop by Jiangli’s comment section to hurry things along,

as if by pressing there, that person would come out and give their feedback.

However, before the fifth person came forward with feedback,

Xia Xin received two private messages from people who wanted to buy talismans.

One wanted to buy a Peach Blossom Talisman to invite romance, while another inquired about the differences between an Amulet and a Peace Charm.

"Ancient Ancestor, what’s the difference between an Amulet and a Peace Charm?" Xia Xin asked Jiangli: "There’s a netizen who wants to buy an Amulet but doesn’t know the difference."

The price of an Amulet was nearly twice as high as that of a Peace Charm.

Xia Xin did not quite understand the distinction between the two either.

His master had indeed told him that Amulets and Peace Charms alike were used for ensuring safety.

"A Peace Charm can block disaster once, and only once. As for the Amulet, well," Jiangli responded, "the Amulets I draw can block disaster three times, regardless of the magnitude of the disaster, and guarantee no harm will come, no death."

Xia Xin’s eyes widened, "Damn, that’s awesome?"

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "Your master never told you about me, that my talisman drawing abilities are this formidable?"

Looking at the smug-faced Jiangli, Xia Xin shook his head, "The master never mentioned anything about the ancient ancestor before. It was only before he passed away that he told me that you, the ancient ancestor, would return."

It was also at that time that he learned Jiaoyang Temple had an ancient ancestor.

The master had never mentioned it to him before.

He had been curious why, if Jiaoyang Temple had an ancient ancestor who had been in seclusion and not emerged, the master never spoke of it.

Regrettably, not long after the master mentioned this, he passed away.

Even if Xia Xin harbored doubts, he no longer had the chance to voice them.

Jiangli clicked her tongue, "Your master was quite negligent. I’m also curious why he took on a disciple like you but never brought you to Xuanji Mountain to see me. You should know, both he and his master and grandmaster, upon their initiation, were taken to Xuanji Mountain to pay respects to me."

Even when she was in seclusion, her Divine Sense allowed her to see through the myriad barriers and look upon her disciples and grand-disciples.

And while her descendants had never seen her in person, they had seen her portrait.

Before she was to emerge from seclusion, she first transmitted a message secretly to inform the elderly Taoist.

At that time, she had also calculated that her own grand-disciple’s time was running short, and that there was no one to succeed the leadership of Jiaoyang Temple, thereby necessitating her return.

That day, within Xuanji Mountain, the elderly Taoist, in the form of a Spiritual Body, came to fetch Jiangli from her seclusion.

That was the first time the elderly Taoist and Jiangli met.

However, knowing that someone could step out from the heavy enclosures of Xuanji Mountain without asking, the elderly Taoist knew who it was.

And when Jiangli saw the Spiritual Body-like elderly Taoist at the entrance, she naturally understood that he was the one coming to receive her.

It just so happened that her grand-disciple passed away sooner than she did.

It was only after seeing the elderly Taoist that she learned from his mouth that he had taken on a disciple named Xia Xin.

At the time, she thought that Xia Xin was a disciple he had just recently accepted.

To think that Xia Xin had been initiated for so long,

and yet the elderly Taoist had never brought him to Xuanji Mountain for her to see, which was indeed strange.
