MMB Chapter 152 Five Immortal Candles
Chapter 152 Five Immortal Candles
Outside the porthole, the city gradually shrinks into a sand table, and the river becomes as thin as silver threads.
The fuselage pierced the clouds, a vast expanse of white.
After crossing through again, you'll find yourself in a clear blue sky.
Jiang Chaosheng looked out the window and saw the sea of clouds surging beneath his feet, a look of surprise in his eyes.
It was his first time flying.
We were too poor to afford it before.
At that time, the adoptive parents realized that he was a heartless money-loser and stopped giving him money.
Tuition fees and such can only be covered by oneself; one must fend for oneself.
If he needs to travel long distances, he will meticulously plan his route.
He would never choose the expensive direct train.
He would choose to take a train to an unfamiliar city, and then take a bus to transfer to a coach.
The main principle is to save money wherever possible.
Jiang Chaosheng never blamed them; after all, he had eaten their food for free for several years.
"We are about to arrive at Lungmen City Airport. This airport is a dual-use military and civilian airport. Please close your windows and refrain from taking photos. Thank you for your cooperation..."
Upon hearing the broadcast, Jiang Chaosheng reluctantly closed the window.
Longmen City was not Jiang Chaosheng's destination.
His destination was Wacheng, which was near Liancheng.
As for why we chose a connecting flight instead of a direct one?
It wasn't to save money, it was simply to spend more time on the plane.
His cabin was business class.
With money, one naturally won't mistreat oneself.
"Sir, please pull down the sunshade."
The pretty business class flight attendants reminded each passenger one by one.
As she walked up to Jiang Chaosheng, she said with a smile:
"The gentleman is very well-behaved~"
She had seen Jiang Chaosheng long ago.
This young, handsome man with great style made her have a little crush on him.
At that moment, a chilling killing intent rushed towards her.
The pretty business class flight attendant suddenly felt short of breath. She glanced at Jiang Chaosheng in horror and quickly walked away.
Her intuition told her that if she continued to linger around this man, something bad might happen.
Jiang Chaosheng frowned and gently patted the nine-tailed demon core in his arms:
"What's all the fuss about?"
Daji gradually calmed down after being comforted by Jiang Chaosheng.
Jiang Chaosheng did not bring Daji in human form onto the plane.
Firstly, Daji did not have a Xia Kingdom identity, so she could not travel by plane.
Secondly, the Anomaly Management Bureau will notice them through aircraft monitoring.
After all, they knew what Daji looked like.
Normally, Daji would use magic to block street surveillance when she went out, but this is an airplane.
If the aircraft's monitoring system malfunctions, it can cause unnecessary trouble.
......
Mandalay, outside the airport.
Jiang Chaosheng's gaze locked onto a certain direction.
Number 5-05, the Five Immortals Candle, is right over there.
Jiang Chaosheng flagged down a taxi.
The driver asked enthusiastically:
"Where to?"
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"Follow my instructions: go straight, then turn right."
The driver started the car and said with a smile:
"Young man, you don't sound like a local."
Don't worry, the drivers around here don't take detours. Just tell me your destination.
Jiang Chaosheng remained silent, his face expressionless.
He doesn't like doing meaningless things or saying meaningless things.
Of course, this is also considered impolite.
The driver, having been disappointed, shook his head and drove the car along the route Jiang Chaosheng had indicated.
After driving for an hour, the car finally arrived at a suburban college.
The driver exclaimed in surprise:
"So you're here to see Master Li?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, has Master Li's fame spread all the way to the south?"
Jiang Chaosheng finally became interested:
"Little Li the Immortal?"
The driver's eyes were full of admiration:
"Yes, there was a Master Li before."
Whether it's predicting marriage or future prospects, the predictions are incredibly accurate, as if you've seen the future with your own eyes.
Later, when Master Li passed away, his daughter, Little Master Li, inherited his mantle.
Little Li the fortune teller is just as accurate as her father.
Last year, a business owner sought help from Master Li because his business was in trouble.
Master Li said that if you walk 100 li to the east, you will meet a benefactor.
And guess what happened?
The driver began asking and answering his own questions:
"He saved an old man who had been in a car accident, and that old man happened to be the father of the chamber of commerce president."
After the driver finished speaking, his eyes filled with regret, and he sighed:
"What a pity. The boss had just resolved his business problems when he was hit by a car and killed on his way home after drinking."
Jiang Chaosheng remained silent.
He remembered Li Qinglian's notes.
A down-on-his-luck fortune teller came to the Zero Antique Shop.
The man wanted money, saying he'd rather die than give it up.
Li Qinglian took out the Five Immortals Candle.
The Five Immortals Candle can predict the future and change the fate of others, but the price is that someone must bear the consequences.
Just like the boss the driver mentioned, he saved the elderly man who was in a car accident, so he had to bear the consequences of the accident on the man's behalf.
The holder of the Five Immortals Candle can choose to bear the consequences himself.
If the holder of the Five Immortal Candles bears the karmic consequences, then those consequences will be minimized to the greatest extent possible.
Taking that boss as an example, if the holder of the Five Immortals Candle bears the karmic consequences, then his "cart calamity" will not be fatal.
At worst, you'll get scratched by a car; at best, your foot will be run over by a bicycle.
Li Qinglian said: The Five Immortals have not cultivated themselves easily, and we must not allow them to do evil for money and ruin their cultivation.
The down-on-his-luck man swore at the Zero Antique Shop that he would bear the consequences of his actions, and only then did Li Qinglian trade the Five Immortals Candles.
The down-on-his-luck man swore at the Zero Antique Shop that he would bear the consequences of his actions, and only then did Li Qinglian trade the Five Immortals Candles.
It can be seen from the driver's words that the current holder of the Five Immortals Candle has not learned from the down-and-out man to take responsibility for his own karma.
Jiang Chaosheng felt a little sorry for him.
The Five Immortals have committed evil deeds, and their cultivation has certainly been damaged.
It takes a long time for the Five Immortals Candle to be put back on the shelf for the Five Immortals to recover their vitality.
The driver then spoke up:
"Young man, let me remind you."
Although Master Li is very accurate in his predictions, he has a bad temper, and also...
The driver glanced at Jiang Chaosheng and cracked his knuckles:
"You'll have to pay a lot of money; if you pay too little, you'll be kicked out and your trip will be for nothing."
Jiang Chaosheng nodded:
"Thanks."
He took a thousand yuan out of his pocket and put it on the car seat.
The driver paused for a moment:
"Young man, what are you doing?"
Jiang Chaosheng got out of the car without saying a word, sparing his words like gold.
He felt the driver's words were helpful, so he should get the money.
...
Outside the Minzu University, cars of all types had lined up from the university gate to the main road.
There were also many cars parked on both sides of the main road.
Jiang Chaosheng walked into the courtyard and saw many people queuing up. He murmured something to himself.
"Business is really booming."
Jiang Chaosheng touched the nine-tailed demon core in his arms:
"Create a soundproof barrier."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious power appeared at the entrance of the large tiled house.
Jiang Chaosheng stretched out his hand, and a small black snake emerged from his palm.
The small black snake crawled down Jiang Chaosheng's trouser leg to the ground, gradually growing into a large black snake as thick as a bowl, and slithered among the crowd.
"Ah!!! There's a snake!"
"Holy crap, how can there be snakes in the middle of winter?!"
"Could it be that Master Li has offended Immortal Liu?"
"Oh my god!!!"
Screams erupted from the crowd as they rushed out of the courtyard.
This black snake looks strange; who would dare to stay here?
Now, the courtyard is empty except for Jiang Chaosheng.
Jiang Chaosheng waited quietly at the door.
