Chapter 340: Heavenly Eye

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since she came to this world in the book, Ji Zhao felt that her luck had always been very good. She thought that this was probably the luck of a transmigrator, right?

However, what happened later became more and more mysterious. For example, she could dream of her father-in-law falling into the water and dying. She could also see Second Brother Shen drowning to death. She could even see the scene of the entire Shen family being burned to death…

At first, Ji Zhao simply thought that all of this was thanks to the protection of the Earth God, but now, she suddenly felt that things were not that simple.

After hearing Ji Zhao’s words, Immortal Crane was also extremely shocked.

He really did not expect his good disciple to have such a hidden ability.

“A few days ago at the Spring Breeze Pavilion, when 1 first saw Zheng Li, I felt that this person’s eyes were not clear enough. More importantly, I felt uncomfortable when 1 saw him until I had a terrifying dream.’’ Ji Zhao frowned and was about to continue when she felt a pain in her heart.

“Zhaozhao, stop talking!” Shen Yao’s heart ached when he saw her increasingly haggard and pale face.

“Senior, please forgive me. Once Zhaozhao tells others what happened in her dream, she will feel pain! Sometimes, she will have a headache, and sometimes, her heart will hurt.” Shen Yao pulled her into his arms and said with heartache.

“Mystical techniques can be said to be mysterious and unfathomable. If you really obtained such an opportunity, it must be the will of the heavens.” Immortal Crane slowly said, “You can foresee the sinister things that have yet to happen in your dreams. This kind of technique is recorded in the ancient books of Buddhism.”

“Everyone has eyes. This is called the naked eye in Buddhism. The so-called naked eye refers to ordinary people. However, in the ancient Buddhist books, there are five eyes: the naked eye, the heavenly eye, the discerning eye, the magical eye, and the Buddha’s eye.”

Immortal Crane suddenly thought of an ancient Buddhist book he had read in Fahua Temple and said slowly, “My good disciple, perhaps you have opened your Heavenly Eye.” “Heavenly Eye?” Ji Zhao was even more confused when she heard this word.

“According to Buddhism, those who obtain the opportunity will open their Heavenly Eye, and those who open their Heavenly Eye can see the past and the future.” Immortal Crane thought for a moment and asked, “Did you roll down the hill last year?”

“Yes.” Ji Zhao immediately nodded.

When she first came to this world, the original owner of the body, Ji All Tao, had stolen the Ji family’s assets and wanted to elope with Scholar Zhao. However, Scholar Zhao did not come as promised. The original owner of the body rolled down the hill and hit her head.

No one expected that the soul of the original body had been switched at that time.

“If I’m not wrong, that was an opportunity. You hit your head, but you also happened to open your Heavenly Eye, so you could see the future in your dreams.” Immortal Crane suddenly thought of something else. “My good disciple, actually, I’ve seen your eight characters. Your fate is a little unusual.”

Ji Zhao’s fate was extremely good. She could be said to be a person of destiny.

However, her fate was flawed. A person who had been resurrected from the dead was destined to have a calamity. However, when Immortal Crane met Ji Zhao, her destiny was even stronger.

There were even wisps of golden light lingering.

Such golden light was also known as merit in Buddhism.

“It’s the will of the heavens. Thinking too much will just cause worry.” Looking at Ji Zhao’s frowning expression, Immortal Crane comforted her, “My good disciple, don’t think too much.”

“Mm.” Ji Zhao nodded.

She thought for a moment, picked up Shen Yao’s hand, and traced a word in his palm.

Mi?

“Zhaozhao, is this related to your dream?” Shen Yao suddenly asked. “I’ve heard Brother Qin mention that there’s a mountain in the suburbs of Yunchuan Prefecture City. The mountain is very tall and is surrounded by clouds all year round. Due to the steep terrain, very few people step foot there.”

“But…” Shen Yao seemed to have thought of something and looked up in surprise.

Ji Zhao nodded at him.

“Don’t worry.” Shen Yao held her hand and made up his mind.

The next day, Qin Minghong came to Peach Blossom Cottage. Other than the two boxes of bird’s nest© in his hand, he had a small tail following him.

Zheng Rongrong nervously grabbed his sleeve and asked softly, “Brother Minghong, is this really Sister Ah Tao’s home?”

“Yes,” Qin Minghong replied helplessly. “Aren’t you going to knock?”

Zheng Rongrong nervously took a step forward. At this moment, the door opened.

Startled, Zheng Rongrong immediately hid behind Qin Minghong.

“Who are you?” Xiao Jiu narrowed her eyes and sized up the people who came.

“Who are you?” Qin Minghong asked with a frown. He had seen All Tao’s younger brother before, so he was very sure that the person in front of him was definitely not Ah Tao’s younger brother.

“Brother Qin.” Hearing the commotion outside the door, Shen Yao came out to welcome him. After introducing the two parties to each other, he welcomed Qin Minghong to the central room.

“Mi Mountain?” Qin Minghong did not expect Shen Yao to suddenly mention Mi Mountain. His gaze was a little strange, and his expression became a little strange. “Shen Yao, Mi Mountain is not a place we should go.”

“Why?” Shen Yao was even more curious.

“Mi Mountain is the border between our Yunchuan Prefecture and Guichuan Prefecture. It’s also a place that the imperial court doesn’t care about.” After taking a sip of tea, Qin Minghong explained softly, “I heard that there’s a group of especially powerful bandits living on Mi Mountain. Ten years ago, the Jinan Disaster Relief Silver was robbed by those bandits. I heard that the envoy who delivered the Disaster Relief Silver was also killed by those bandits…”

“Then the Imperial Court is going to ignore it?” Shen Yao was a little disappointed.

The current Great Jing Empire was really too incompetent.

“My father did mention that back then, Prince Xian brought a group of people to completely eliminate these bandits on Mi Mountain. However, these bandits were too cunning!

“More importantly, the imperial court seems to have trusted aides of these robbers. Back then, Prince Xian led 3,000 elite soldiers into Mi Mountain for less than two days and lost half of his soldiers. Because there was a fire at Mi Mountain, the flames surged and devoured thousands of miles. Prince Xian barely survived.”

“His Majesty was furious and ordered that the bandits of Mi Mountain must be exterminated. In the end, these bandits went down the mountain under the banner of the emperor’s muddle-headedness and killed countless innocent people… The imperial court did not have the ability to exterminate the bandits, so they gradually reached a tacit understanding with these bandits. The imperial court no longer asked about the Mi Mountain bandits, and those bandits did not commit any atrocious and crazy acts of killing innocent people.”

After listening to this past, Shen Yao only felt that it was ridiculous.

“The imperial court actually reached a tacit understanding with the mountain bandits?” Shen Yao could not help but sneer. “As long as the mountain bandits are not eliminated, it will still be a disaster.”

“Shen Yao, why did you suddenly mention Mi Mountain?” Qin Minghong asked worriedly when he met his cold gaze. “Did something happen?”

“Nothing.” Shen Yao shook his head. “I’m just thinking about what to do to be helpful to the imperial court.”

Since Zhaozhao said that her dream was related to Mi Mountain, Shen Yao felt that he had to go to Mi Mountain personally no matter what. No matter what, he could not let Zhaozhao’s nightmare come true.
