Transmigration: A Farm Girl’s Brocade

Chapter 307: 190

Qian Yixiu also liked this gift. Carrying it with her to the Cave Sky Pool, she now had a weapon for self-defense, and besides, the ruby embedded in it obviously was quite valuable.

She had another feeling, that Sir Liang’s gaze upon her seemed even warmer than when he looked at Qian Yeejin. Could it be that he knew she would someday be Uncle Liang’s lifesaver?

If he knew, it must have been divined by the Half Old Immortal, who also must have told him. Perhaps there was a deeper meaning behind sending this gift.

Looking at Uncle Liang again, she saw excitement twinkling in his eyes. Fortunately, she was well aware of her place, just a little peasant girl, lacking the presence to attract secret adoring glances from an aristocratic family’s young master. So, it must be that he, too, knew she was to become his lifesaver.

The Liang family had a good reputation, and with the title of Liang Jinzhao’s lifesaver, she also could make use of it for a while.

It seemed that the trip to the Cave Sky Pool was indeed imperative.

In no time, the House of Animals, which were at play in Hexi Garden, arrived, and immediately, the room became lively. Unable to cause a commotion inside, they all went to the yard. The Little Monk and Monkey Brother were not done playing, and Uncle Liang was amusing Benben and Tiaotiao.

Liang Zechong had already heard from his grandson about the Fierce Red Monkey and the White Wolf. Seeing them in person, he was still quite shocked and also engaged with the House of Animals enthusiastically.

Qian Yixiu felt secretly pleased, the House of Animals were like socialites, drawing the guests’ attention away as soon as they appeared, saving her a lot of trouble.

At that moment, Su Siwu, who was standing by the door awaiting orders, invited Qian Yixiu inside, saying that the old master and the master were asking for her.

Master Sangui’s eyes were somewhat red as he took her hand, saying, "My child, you’re going into the deep mountains to search for Spiritual Medicine. Go then. Remember, if it gets dangerous, have Monkey Brother carry you away quickly. You must come back safely. I only have one granddaughter... Jinwa is a grandson, not as dear as a granddaughter."

After speaking, tears welled up, and he quickly wiped them with his sleeve. It seemed the Old Monk had already convinced Master Sangui to agree to her "going into the deep mountains."

The Old Monk consoled her, "Amitabha, this Little Benefactor is destined for great wealth and long life. Master Qian will be blessed by her fortune. She will return safely from this trip."

After speaking, he removed two strands of prayer beads from his wrist, one short, one long. The short one wrapped twice around his wrist, while the long one went three times around his wrist.

He handed them to Qian Yixiu, saying, "These are two strands of phoenix-eye bodhi beads, soaked in various exotic medicinal herbs. Not only will they strengthen the body when worn, but they also have the power to repel insects and snakes. These beads have been with me for over sixty years, and now I give them to you and that Naughty Monkey, hoping that your journey will be successful."

Qian Yixiu was on the verge of tears with excitement; the Old Monk had solved the two problems that had been weighing on her mind.

She took the prayer beads, repeatedly expressing her thanks.

Before the Old Monk’s departure, he secretly said to Qian Yixiu, "Remember, collect more of those rare tea leaves. Don’t give them to anyone, including the Liangs, only to me."

Qian Yixiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

The Old Monk lost his smile and whispered even lower, "Remember, Zi Zhu lies in the dragon’s eye, should it emerge prematurely, the world will change hands, and great chaos will ensue. When the True Dragon ascends to heaven, that will be the time for Zi Zhu to appear in this world. Amitabha!"

Qian Yixiu shivered upon hearing this. The Zi Zhu he spoke of couldn’t be the purple pearl in the Cave Sky Pool, could it?

Staring blankly at the back of the Demi Immortal, Qian Yixiu’s legs felt weak.

What he meant was, if Zi Zhu was taken out too soon, the world would change hands. Ma Mian had said that Prince Ning would become the emperor; does it mean that if she took out Zi Zhu, another person would become the emperor? In that case, Prince Ning would surely not agree and would rebel, causing great turmoil and suffering among the living.

Oh, heaven! Could her actions truly change the course of history for this dynasty?

No matter whether her guess was right or wrong, she decided not to take out Zi Zhu for now. As for the True Dragon ascending to heaven, she could not comprehend it either and would wait for the Old Monk’s guidance.

She soothed her wildly beating heart and was about to turn around when the young boy came over. He said, "Sister, give your dagger to brother, and I’ll buy you flowers to wear."

Qian Yixiu rolled her eyes at him, thinking that she was not a fool.

She clutched the dagger at her waist, saying, "No, I like this dagger too."

No matter what the boy said, Qian Yixiu refused to give it to him.

From that day on, Qian Yixiu became busy with preparations.

Today was the twenty-second, and those Fierce Red Monkeys should have already left the Cave Sky Pool. But for safety, she decided to delay her trip for a few more days.
