Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Zhang Xishan, with the sick Zhang Qishan and their few personal soldiers, left Shacheng and headed straight for Guandong. (Guandong is another name for the Northeast, which is an area consisting of Liaoning Province, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Wulian City in Inner Mongolia, referred to as the Northeast.)

Along the way, Mr. Qi was worried about whether Zhang Qishan could survive until they returned home.

"Adjutant, you said that the Buddha's disease has reached the place in your mouth. Can it be cured?"

The Eighth Master leaned his head out of the carriage and looked worriedly at Zhang Qishan who was lying in the carriage.

"There are many talented people there, and there must be a way to cure Master Buddha's illness. But..." Zhang Xishan was driving the carriage and was also worried about Zhang Qishan's health.

"But what? Adjutant, you are not sure!"

When Mr. Qi Ba heard the first half of Zhang Xishan's sentence, he felt relieved. But Zhang Xishan fell silent just as he started to say something. Mr. Qi Ba was so scared that his voice changed tone.

"No, it's because I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know if they have moved. But even if they have moved, there are many books in their house. If we look carefully in the library, we should be able to find relevant books that can cure Mr. Buddha's disease."

Zhang Yishan's hands tightly gripping the reins revealed his inner panic.

"Master Ba, I'll go and calculate the good and bad luck of our trip!" With that, Master Qi Ba went back into the carriage and took out the copper coins and tortoise shells he had hidden in his bag for divination.

Mr. Qi looked at Zhang Qishan, who was still unable to sleep peacefully in the carriage. The beads of sweat on his forehead were so wet that they soaked the pillow.

Mr. Qi's hand trembled slightly as he touched the prop that he was once most familiar with. He was afraid that he would not be able to tell fortunes, and he was also afraid that the results of the divination would be different from what he expected.

Time passed minute by minute, and Mr. Qi seemed to have finally prepared himself mentally and grasped the tortoise shell and the copper coin steadily.

Outside, there was the sound of horse hooves clattering, and next to his ears was the sound of copper coins hitting tortoise shells. Master Qi closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of copper coins colliding inside the tortoise shell when he shook it in his hand.

Finally, the sound of the copper coins colliding stopped. Mr. Qi stood up the tortoise shell, and the copper coins inside fell onto the small table in the car, making a tinkling sound.

Mr. Qi tilted his head and slowly opened his eyes. After snoring for a few times, he looked at the copper coins on the table. In an instant, Mr. Qi seemed to be completely relaxed. It seemed that Mr. Qi had made a good fortune for Zhang Qishan.

"Eighth Master, what's wrong? Have you figured out anything?" Zhang Tingshan was outside the carriage, also paying attention to the movements inside. It seemed that Zhang Tingshan was also full of unknowns about the place they were about to go, so he had to use the method that he once despised the most to comfort himself.

"Zhangxi Mountain is the Jin Gua among the auspicious Guas. The upper Gua of Jin Gua is Li Fire, and the lower Gua is Kun Earth. Fire is on the ground, which means that light shines on the earth, indicating that the person holding the Gua will have very good fortune recently. This means that the Buddha will definitely turn bad luck around this time, and the Gua shows that the Buddha will get help from noble people, and his health will get better and better. But!"

"But what?"

"Zhang Xianshan, this hexagram also indicates that Master Buddha will find a happy marriage through someone's introduction! Could it be that this noble person will become Master Buddha's father-in-law in the future?"

Mr. Qi was also very puzzled. After all, Mr. Buddha had always been very resistant to women. He had never seen many maids in his mansion in Sand City before. Instead, there were a group of rough old men.

"Eighth Master, it doesn't matter. As long as Master Buddha's health gets better, everything will be fine." Zhang Yishan was not worried at all that Zhang Qishan would give up his long-held belief because of a woman.

Now, the most important thing in Zhang Xishan’s mind is that Zhang Qishan can get better, and then go back and drive the insidious and cunning Lu Jianxun out of Shacheng.
