The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 254 All Three Hexagrams are Death Hexagrams (2 Updates)
Abbot Jiechen turned his head and looked over: "What have you discovered, young friend?"

He and Aoki had worked with Yunran before and knew Yunran's abilities very well. Something that could make Yunran wary must be quite significant.

The driver, who was also an employee of the Special Administration Bureau, instinctively stepped on the brakes when he heard Yun Ran's voice, which sounded obviously a bit off.

Yun Ran looked at the bigwig from the Northwest, but she didn't have the same worry about offending anyone as the others.

The tone was certain: "There's something wrong with this lay Buddhist Lan!"

Yun Ran's words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest in the Northwest Branch. Apart from Qingmu and Jiechen, everyone else, including Zhongli Su, looked at Yun Ran in astonishment.

Someone immediately spoke up: "Young friend Yunran, although you have some skill, isn't it going too far to slander our Northwest Branch with such baseless accusations!"

None of them are weaklings; how could they not know if their colleagues have problems?

Although Qingmu Daoren was also somewhat surprised, he quickly realized what was happening and clearly sided with Yunran.

"Please don't be anxious, everyone. The great monk and I both know about Yunran's abilities. She's not one to speak carelessly; she must have discovered something."

He then looked at Yun Ran and said, "Young friend Yun Ran, if you discover anything, just speak up. The people in the carriage are all capable and can solve the problem to the greatest extent possible."

The meaning of these words is very straightforward: he trusts Yunran and has shared the responsibility among everyone.

"Master Lan, why did you give me that strange smile just now?"

The hermit Lan, whom Yunran mentioned, looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Yunran was talking about.

Given the current situation, anyone would think that Yun Ran is just making trouble for no reason.

Although the bigwigs of the Northwest Branch were somewhat dissatisfied with Yun Ran, now that the car had stopped, they had to let Yun Ran know that this was not a place where she could run wild.

"Old Lan, tell me, why are you laughing like that? It makes people think there's something wrong with you!"

These words were somewhat tinged with anger, but Yun Ran showed no sign of guilt.

Did I just laugh?

When Layman Lan said this, everyone was a little stunned.

"What? You didn't laugh? Then why did people say your smile looked weird!"

Seeing that the situation was getting a bit tense, the other one of the two young people, Zhong Lisu, quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Is it because it's too dark and you're seeing things wrong?"

In the eyes of the Northwest Branch, this was simply their people giving Yunran a way out; as long as she said she had misread it, the matter would be over.

They weren't petty people who would insist on nitpicking over a young girl's mistake.

But Yunran didn't accept their kindness at all.

He continued, "I can't be wrong, you did laugh. And according to what you just said, you didn't even realize you were laughing, which makes things very serious."

As she spoke, Yunran took out her tortoise shell and handed it to Layman Lan.

"My divination is very accurate. You yourself are a member of the Xuanmen sect, and your cultivation is among the top tier. You should know that in this situation, if we can't find the problem with you, it will kill everyone during the mission!"

When the Northwest Branch officers saw Yun Ran take out the tortoise shell and even say she wanted to tell fortunes, they immediately became furious.

Who are they insulting? The fate of these people in the Xuanmen sect is not so easy to predict. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

But Yunran's last sentence will kill everyone, shutting down all their dissatisfaction.

"Old Lan, since she's said that, you should have your fortune told, so that you won't be blamed for any mistakes later."

Even within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), there are various forms of intrigue and backstabbing, and they take precautions to prevent such situations from arising.

Lan Jushi, believing himself to have a clear conscience, calmly accepted the tortoise shell from Yun Ran, showing no anger whatsoever at being targeted by Yun Ran. This only made Yun Ran seem more eager for quick success.

The ginseng fruit pursed its lips: [These people are really something. If it weren't for your kind heart, host, who would care if they died? You even went to the trouble of finding problems for them. Anyway, no matter what happens, you always manage to escape unscathed.]

Yunran ignored the ginseng fruit's complaints and stared intently at the tortoise shell in Lan Jushi's hand.

He shook it a few times, and the copper coins inside the tortoise shell immediately fell out.

Those present are all experts in esoteric arts. Although their focuses differ, interpreting divination symbols is a piece of cake for them.

Master Qingmu looked at the divination chart, his eyes wide with surprise.

The others also looked grim; each of them seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable.

"Death omen!"

"How could this be? We're just going to find the missing tourists and livestock, setting up our formation. How could it be a death divination!"

"There's definitely a mistake, shake it again!"

……

Even the lay Buddhist Lan was startled by the divination result he had drawn.

They quickly started shaking the divination again, and the second divination was still a death divination.

The third hexagram was also a death hexagram.

"Pfft~"

All three hexagrams indicated death, and Yunran immediately coughed up blood.

"Young friend Yunran!"

"This is a backlash! Quick, get the medicine!"

Jiechen quickly took out his precious gourd, which contained his sect's secret medicine.

Yunran was helped back to her seat by Qingmu. After watching Yunran take the medicine, he looked at the people from the Northwest Branch.

Anger was clearly evident in his eyes: "What are you hiding?!"

Based on the information we already know, this mission should be completed in no more than two weeks.

But now, it's a death hexagram, all three hexagrams are death hexagrams, which means they have almost no way out.

The people at the Northwest Branch were also baffled. If it weren't for the fact that divination results cannot be faked, and that this was something that Master Lan himself had cast, they wouldn't believe it no matter what.

"Master Qingmu, we have absolutely not concealed anything about this mission, otherwise, we wouldn't be here."

After calming down and feeling much better, Yun Ran said, "There must be something here that you overlooked. The previous information was wrong. We can still check it again!"

After saying that, she ignored everyone else and started calculating on her own. What others did was none of her business.

But at least, she couldn't let herself perish here; she had to lend a hand to Daoist Qingmu and Abbot Jiechen.

These big shots have completed countless missions, but Yun Ran's reminder made them feel ashamed; they weren't as calm as a young girl.

Seeing Yunran's fingers moving so fast, no one thought that Yunran was just a name without substance anymore.

Others also began to use their own methods to find out why the mission had failed.
