Chapter 77: The Desperate Sister Zhou!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Abbot… you…” Sister Zhou’s mother took a step forward, her eyes filled with shock and fear.
The Abbot’s calculations just now should have been for her daughter.
But…
He started spitting blood just as he began?
How could that be possible?
She had witnessed the miraculous abilities of the Abbot before!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become such a devout follower.
The Abbot waved his hand and slowly sat back up.
At this moment, he seemed as if he had lost ten years of life!
He looked like an elderly person at the end of their years, far from the composed demeanor he had before.
His lips were bitter.
“Just a simple calculation, and it cost me ten years of lifespan…”
“You may leave now. I cannot help with this matter.”
“Do not investigate, do not seek, do not ask! Remember this! It is better for the doer to undo what he has done… I have said enough.”
As his words fell, the Abbot sat back on the meditation cushion, folding his hands together and began reciting scriptures.
Yang Jing wanted to say something more, but seeing the Abbot’s demeanor, she knew that anything she said would be futile.
With a resentful expression, she led her daughter and the assistant to leave.
As they walked out of the temple, the scene of the Abbot spitting blood and rapidly aging remained in Yang Jing’s mind, haunting her.
And that sentence, it filled her heart with anxiety.
“Do not investigate, do not seek, do not ask!”
And, he actually lost ten years of life!
At this moment, Sister Zhou’s mother was in a panic!
As for Sister Zhou, describing her current state as “bewildered” would be an understatement.
If the assistant wasn’t there to support her, she might have already collapsed on the ground.
There were even traces of blood on her cheeks, splattered from the moment the Abbot spewed blood.
Her mind was constantly replaying the bizarre scene that had just happened with the Abbot!
He lost ten years of life just by calculating for her?
What did he see?
Sister Zhou was truly in a panic now!
She didn’t even have the courage to continue thinking further.
“Don’t worry, your dad is on his way! He went to find Uncle Qi! There must be a solution!”
Seeing her daughter in such a state, Sister Zhou’s mother’s eyes were full of tenderness.
She hugged her daughter tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
She was also panicking now, feeling helpless.
She had thought that asking the Abbot to help would easily resolve this bit of bad luck.
At most, she would offer some donations to a temple and get a protective amulet to dispel the bad luck!
But…
She never expected that not only could her daughter’s situation not be resolved, but the Abbot was also affected!
“Mm…” Sister Zhou weakly responded.
Her mind was blank, and she had no idea how to respond.
At this moment, Sister Zhou’s phone rang.
“Hello? Sweetheart, why aren’t you at the hotel? Where are you?”
In the call, Sister Zhou’s father sounded anxious.
After listening to what Brother Qi said yesterday, he came to find Sister Zhou early in the morning, intending to accompany her to see Zhang Chaoyang first and then go to find Li Yidao!
But…
When he arrived at the hotel, Sister Zhou and the others had already left!
“I’m your wife. Hurry over, something abnormal happened! We went to the temple, I…”
Sister Zhou’s mother picked up the phone and spoke, but she couldn’t say much before breaking down in tears.
At this moment, when she heard her husband’s voice, she realized who the true backbone of the family was.
Thinking that she hung up on her husband’s call last night, she felt a deep sense of pain in her heart.
To be honest, she didn’t know what was happening to her right now. She couldn’t control herself.
Her heart was filled with immense fear, causing her whole body to tremble. “What happened exactly?” On the other end of the call, Zhou’s father heard his wife answering the phone and crying so heartbrokenly.
He was utterly confused!
His first thought was that something had happened to Sister Zhou!
“Arghhh, come over first. I’m with daughter. We’re going back to the hotel now.”
Yang Jing hung up the phone while crying because she could not continue.
At this moment, Sister Zhou’s father immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped !
He quickly turned around!
Twenty-something minutes later, Sister Zhou’s father returned to the hotel and hurriedly rushed into the room.
Seeing the three people crying like they had lost their souls inside the room, he couldn’t help but sound anxious.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on? What happened to you all? What happened at the temple that made you cry like this?”
Seeing her husband walking in, Yang Jing couldn’t hold back anymore. She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears once again.
As for Sister Zhou, she was curled up on the sofa.
Her eyes were even somewhat vacant!
The assistant sat beside her, comforting her.
It was clear that Sister Zhou had not yet recovered from the nightmare she had just experienced.
“Alright! Stop crying!”
Looking at his daughter’s current state, coupled with his wife’s constant crying, Sister Zhou’s father completely lost his patience and yelled out!
Hearing her husband’s shout, Sister Zhou’s mother finally calmed down and tearfully explained, “It’s like this, we went to the temple early in the morning, and then…”
Yang Jing quickly recounted the whole incident.
By now, Sister Zhou’s father was sitting on the sofa with a furrowed brow, deep in thought and silence.
After a while, he made up his mind and decided to call Brother Qi.
There was no other way…
This matter involved his daughter’s life, and the only person who could help them now was Brother Qi!
Even if it might cause him trouble, Sister Zhou’s father didn’t care at this moment!
Brother Qi arrived at the hotel less than ten minutes after receiving the call.
After Yang Jing explained the situation again, Brother Qi’s expression also turned contemplative.
After some time, he looked at Sister Zhou’s mother with a hint of doubt in his voice.
“Sister, are you sure the Abbot started to cough up blood when he got Li Yidao’s name and started his divination?”
Sister Zhou’s mother quickly nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right, not only that, the Abbot also said…”
Here, her expression involuntarily showed fear, as if she was recalling the horrifying scene just now.
This made Sister Zhou’s father extremely anxious.
He said in an irritated tone, “What did he say? Can you explain it clearly, woman!”
“He… He said he lost ten years of his lifespan!”
Sister Zhou’s mother replied, causing both Sister Zhou’s father and Brother Qi to be instantly shocked.
This matter was becoming more and more bizarre!
Ten years of lifespan!
What did that mean?
The Abbot was already an elderly person in his seventies!
Losing ten years of lifespan could mean that he had very little time left!
“Dad… Am I going to die?” At this moment, Sister Zhou, in the silent environment, suddenly spoke these words.
In her eyes, was there any trace of the joy she had during her live streams?
No, there was only lifelessness!
Despair filled her life!
