Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Li Yunsheng never believed in the concept of destiny.

However, the fact that I traveled into the world of the book is something that science cannot explain.

Therefore, even after years of scientific research, he now takes a cautious approach to matters of destiny.

What is my destiny?

Master Duanzhang uttered four words: "A cursed lone star."

Li Yunsheng's name is very well-known.

Although he didn't understand matters of fate, even in the modern world, almost everyone knew about the "lone star of destiny."

However, he had some doubts about whether this Taoist priest was trying to swindle him out of his money again.

This is just a common trick used by fortune tellers: first they say your forehead is dark, then they offer a solution for a fee.

What does "a lone star destined for misfortune" mean?

Master Duanzhang explained slowly.

"A cursed star, destined to be alone for life."

Although it is an ominous sign, the inauspicious star does not affect the person himself, but rather brings extreme harm to those around him.

The Heavenly Killing Lone Star is formed by combining the Calamity Star with the Lonely Star and the Widow Star, along with the overlapping of stars in different directions, resulting in a mismatch between Yin and Yang and severe harm...

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Li Yunsheng was completely bewildered and began to question the Taoist's words.

They say that inauspicious stars don't affect the person, but he only has a little over a year left to live. How can that be considered unaffected?

However, there seemed to be no sign of lying in the Taoist priest Duan Zhang's demeanor.

He didn't know if the Taoist priest was truly skilled or just had some skills.

"I hold a high position, second only to the emperor, so where do you get the things you're talking about?"

"It's not too fast or too slow," said the Taoist priest Duan Zhang.

"But the young master's parents died early, and he is now all alone."

warehouse--

Wei Xiang drew his short sword an inch from its sheath, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Li Yunsheng: ...

He couldn't refute those words.

Indeed, his father died relatively early, and his mother died even earlier.

And since he is still unmarried, he can indeed be described as all alone.

"How much silver does Master Duanzhang need for the solution?"

Now that we've covered the part about 'darkness between the eyebrows', let's move on to 'solutions'.

Master Duanzhang raised an eyebrow.

"No charge whatsoever."

"Ok?"

Li Yunsheng was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, this Taoist priest only cared about money, so how could he not take a single penny?

"So what are your conditions?"

Master Duanzhang chuckled, a chuckle that made Li Yunsheng feel as if the Taoist priest was trying to harm him.

"The conditions are very simple, it's just that—"

"What is it?"

"Young master wishes to become a disciple of my Jingming Mountain."

Li Yunsheng suddenly stood up.

"You want me to become a monk?"

Clang.

Beside him, Wei Xiang's short sword was already drawn, the blade only 0.01 centimeters away from Master Duan Zhang's throat.

Master Duanzhang immediately raised his hands, admitting defeat.

"We, Jingming Mountain, belong to the Zhengyi sect, so it is permissible to marry!"

Chapter 31 Completely baffled

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Li Yunsheng refused decisively.

His current identity is the Grand Secretary of the Great Chu, the prime minister of the country. How could he become a Taoist priest?

If this gets out, what will become of my prestige?

Whether this Taoist priest's talk of being a cursed lone star is true or not, we still don't know, yet we want him to become a monk.

No way!

Besides, even if I really am destined to be a lone star, so what?

I am the creator god, how does that compare to the Heavenly Dao?

In novels, we see plenty of stories about defying fate and changing one's destiny.

"Young master, please reconsider."

Seeing that he refused so readily, Master Duanzhang lowered his own requirements.

“A nominal disciple is fine too.”

At this moment, Li Yunsheng had already taken out the book "Tongxuan Jing" and placed it on the table.

Clearly, they've already forgotten about the "lone star" they just mentioned.

Master Duanzhang pressed down on the "Tongxuan Scripture," still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Elder, this humble Taoist can only make the decision; Young Master Xu is an elder!"

Seeing his expression, Li Yunsheng became even less concerned.

"Master, please begin your sermon."

Master Duanzhang made a final struggle, speaking with a troubled expression.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my senior brother. The position of sect leader isn't out of the question."

"Master Daoist, I am the current prime minister of the Great Chu Dynasty."

"Do you think it's appropriate for someone to become a Taoist priest, even just a nominal one?"

"Then, if I may concede further, young master, would you be so kind as to inscribe a word on the mountain?"

Li Yunsheng gave Master Duanzhang a strange look. Could this Taoist priest have come here specifically for the characters?

The so-called nominal disciples I just mentioned are all a smokescreen.

Entering the mountain gate was impossible for him, but writing a single word was easy for him.

"What words does the Taoist priest wish to inscribe?"

"Just four words are needed." Daoist Duanzhang held up four fingers: "Jingming Dangxing."

Li Yunsheng picked up his brush and wrote the four characters "Jingming Dangxing" on the paper, then added his signature.

"Master, you can now tell me the way to break the curse of the Lone Star."

Master Duanzhang did not rush to speak. He first reached out and moved the short knife next to his neck.

After the ink had completely dried, he put the calligraphy written by Li Yunsheng into his pocket.

Just as Li Yunsheng was getting impatient, he finally spoke and revealed the secret.

"The solution lies within yourself, young master."

"How to say?"

"Young master possesses two destinies, one of which is that of a cursed lone star."

Another type of destiny is the incomparably noble Tianyi Nobleman, who can turn misfortune into good fortune and difficulties into auspiciousness.

Only when these two destinies coexist can the young master achieve a delicate balance.

Li Yunsheng stared at the Taoist priest's chest.

"So you got a piece of my calligraphy for free."

He claimed to possess two destinies, but the Taoist priest did nothing; he just tricked him into writing four characters.

The calligraphy scroll had already been kicked into the Taoist's arms, and now even if he was unwilling, he couldn't get it back.

It's not worth resorting to robbery for just four words.

"Preaching the scriptures, preaching the scriptures."

Having received the inscription, Daoist Duanzhang stopped dwelling on the matter.

Immediately open the "Tongxuan Jing" and begin explaining it sentence by sentence.

After an incense stick has burned.

Li Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh that learning martial arts truly requires a master to guide you through the process.

Wei Xiang is indeed a top-notch expert, but she is not a good master.

She was trained as a suicide squad member from a young age, so she is good at killing and protecting people, but not good at teaching.

In the past few days, teaching Li Yunsheng has only involved constant practical exercises with him, allowing him to figure things out on his own.

For two whole hours, Master Duanzhang explained the profound meaning of the Tongxuan Jing to Li Yunsheng in a clear and concise manner, sentence by sentence.

At the same time, they also explained various terms used in martial arts to him, a complete novice.
