Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 354 Lü Dongbin's Reincarnation

The maid in pink comforted her:
"Madam, don't worry. Master has invited that old, renowned doctor from Daojun Medical Clinic in the city. With him there, you will be fine."

Upon hearing this, the lady in her gorgeous clothes touched her prominent belly and sighed softly.

"Lian'er, why won't this child come out? I, as his mother, have been waiting for him for so long."

Upon hearing this, Lian'er's expression also dimmed, and she could only say:

"Madam, the old doctor said that the fetus in your womb is perfectly normal. With his skills, he certainly wouldn't be wrong."

"Sigh, I guess so."

The woman's expression was somewhat gloomy as she spoke, but her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the gray-robed Taoist priest setting up a stall on the stone bridge, and she tugged at the maid beside her.

"Lian'er, come on, it's fate that we met at this hour today. Come with me to have my fortune told."

"Hey, Madam, please slow down."

A moment later, the woman, supported by her maid, arrived at the fortune-telling stall in front of the gray-robed Taoist priest and sat down. The Taoist priest then slowly opened his eyes.

"I wonder what this lady would like to have divined? When I perform divination, whether it is accurate or not, I must first pay three coins as a divination fee."

Upon hearing this, the maid was about to speak when the woman, who had already sat down, said in a gentle voice:

"Lian'er, give the Taoist priest three coins."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid nodded quickly and took out three coins from her purse and placed them on the table.

The Taoist priest reached out and picked up the three coins from the table, stuffing them into his sleeve. The woman watched this scene and smiled.

"I don't know how to address the elder."

"I am Jin Lingzi. May I ask what Madam wishes to know? I can calculate it for you."

Upon hearing this, the lady's smile faded, and she rubbed her abdomen.

"I would like to trouble the Taoist priest to calculate when my child will be born and whether he will grow up healthy."

Jin Lingzi's gaze fell on the lady's protruding belly, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he spoke softly:

"Is Madam worried that this child has been in the womb for three years without any signs of being born, and is she also concerned about the child's condition?"

"Exactly."

The lady nodded calmly, not surprised that the Taoist priest opposite her knew about this matter.

Now, everyone in Jiangnan City knows that Madam Lü is pregnant again at the age of forty.

The Lü family was overjoyed and prepared to welcome the birth of the child. However, Madam Lü's belly grew larger and larger, but there was no sign of the child being born. This situation lasted for three whole years.

The Lü family mansion has now become a topic of conversation among the people of Jiangnan City, with rumors circulating even within the mansion that the child is a monster.

Fortunately, the couple was quite determined to give birth to the child and never considered abortion, but they were very worried about the child who refused to come out.

Jin Lingzi looked at Madam Lü, whose expression was full of worry, calculated for a moment with his fingers, and then said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Madam. Judging by the time, your child should be born around midnight tonight."

"This child is born extraordinary and divine, and is by no means the monster that people say he is. He will be exceptionally intelligent when he is born."

"Tonight at midnight?"

Madam Lü looked at Jin Lingzi with surprise. Seeing that his expression was certain and he didn't seem to be joking, Madam Lü simply smiled and nodded. "In that case, thank you for your kind words, Daoist Master."

Her child hadn't been born for three whole years. Fortune tellers had said the same thing to this Taoist priest, but what happened?

She rarely comes out to relax today, but what a coincidence that the child is due to be born today.

Therefore, Madam Lü was somewhat skeptical of what the Taoist priest Jin Lingzi said, but she was still quite happy.

This is because she said her child was not the monster that people talked about, but a born saint.

Master Jin Lingzi smiled as he saw that Madam Lü clearly did not believe him. He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Madam Lü opposite him.

"Madam, it is fate that we meet today. This plaque is for you. After giving birth, you can calm your mind and recuperate."

"Oh?"

Madam Lü glanced at the Taoist priest Jin Lingzi opposite her with surprise, picked up the jade tablet on the table, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

"This is."

Behind her, Xiao Lian looked at the vibrant green jade pendant carved with cloud patterns, her eyes shining brightly, and couldn't help but exclaim in praise:
"Madam, what a beautiful piece of jade."

Madam Lü nodded, growing increasingly fond of the jade as she looked at it. Even in their large and wealthy Lü family, she had never seen a precious jade of such quality.

"Daoist Master, do you not know this Daoist Master Yu?"

As Madam Lü was speaking, she was about to ask the Taoist priest across the table about the price, but when she looked up, there was no one there.

Madam Lü quickly got up and looked around, but there was no sign of Daoist Jin Lingzi. Even the banners beside them had disappeared.

"Xiao Lian, did you see when the Taoist priest left?"

"I'm sorry, Madam, I was just captivated by that jade, so..."

Xiao Lian lowered her head in shame, but Madam Lü looked around with interest, then at the emerald jade in her hand, a strange expectation rising in her heart.

Could it be that we've truly encountered a deity today?!
A glint of light flashed in Madam Lü's eyes, and she even became somewhat excited.

"Thank you, Immortal."

Madam Lü murmured gratefully at the dilapidated wooden table in front of her, then looked at the maid beside her.

"Xiao Lian, let's go! We need to hurry home and find the master to fetch the midwife from the Divine Physician Daojun. We must be quick!"

"Yes, madam!"

Seeing that the lady was somewhat agitated, Xiaolian, though unaware of what had happened, quickly stepped forward to support her and led her towards the Lü residence.

After the master and servant disappeared, the figure of Daoist Jin Lingzi, dressed in a gray Daoist robe, reappeared on the stone bridge, his hands behind his back, looking towards the Lü residence.

"Fellow Daoist Lü has found a kind family for himself in this reincarnation, but the commotion is a bit too much."

This Daoist Jin Lingzi is naturally the Dao Lord in human form, and the identity of Jin Lingzi can be considered his most famous disguise.

As for the child that Lady Lü was carrying, it was none other than Lü Dongbin, the Pure Yang Sword Immortal who had descended from Heaven to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation and had already been reincarnated.

Now, whether it's Jindu Mountain, Daojun Mountain, or the world of Liaozhai, everything is peaceful and stable, so he doesn't need to worry about it. Therefore, for the past three years, since Lü Dongbin was reincarnated, he has been living in this city and taking care of it personally.

And this is precisely the promise he made to Lü Dongbin that lasted for hundreds of years.
