Chapter 102 Putting Lots

"Ah, I almost forgot. I said yesterday that I would give the phone to you for safekeeping..." Zhao Yu remembered this after coming in from the door.

He gave a slightly apologetic look when he handed the phone to Yuuka, but she didn't take it.

"I think it's more convenient here. I don't quite understand how China's payment software works." Youhua shook her head before speaking.

"But didn't we agree that..."

"Does Yu-jun care about this?"

"I just felt like I couldn't break my promise."

"Actually, I didn't break my promise. Yujun didn't spend money indiscriminately today. I think he has fulfilled his promise!" Youhua said while standing in front of Zhao Yu and poking his chest with her finger.

"Yujun is really like a child, always insisting on some inexplicable things. Didn't you say that we don't need to separate from each other?"

“That makes sense, but…”

"No buts! I'm Shu Daoshan!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt that his DNA was awakened at once, and he nodded very tactfully.

It’s not because Youhua looks scary, but Zhao Yu always thinks of Chen Xiuhua unconsciously. It’s like muscle memory.

The most important thing is that it is okay to just use this sentence and pretend to be obedient.

If Yuka finds out that this sentence is not so effective, and then lets that group of unscrupulous netizens come up with ideas again, then we can basically announce the end of the show.

Zhao Yu believes that under the guidance of the viewers in the live broadcast room, Youhua will definitely successfully master a series of skills to torment her boyfriend as if she had attended a crash course.

You know, there are quite a few married people in the live broadcast room. Based on the principle of not letting their brothers feel comfortable even if they themselves are uncomfortable, that group of guys will never give up such a good opportunity.

"It seems to be really useful? Then there's no need to look for other ways..." Youhua muttered softly, but Zhao Yu heard it.

Sure enough! Fortunately, I had foresight! Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes showing weakness can be considered as a kind of fun between young lovers. Yuhua was happy to hear it, and she also saved herself the trouble, so it was like killing two birds with one stone.

In Zhao Yu's opinion, the conflicts between many couples are due to the fact that both parties are unwilling to make concessions. If it is not a selective issue, Zhao Yu is still willing to take a step back.

He knew that Yuka wasn't the type to push for more, and he also knew that sometimes it was all for his own good.

"That's great. Yujun is very gentlemanly today and knows how to give in to me..." Youhua kissed Zhao Yu on the face.

"Let's go burn incense!"

As they chatted, they walked towards the palace and soon arrived in front of the Hunyuan Hall. A very large incense burner stood in the center.

After taking a stick of incense from Zhao Yu, Youhua followed his movements and began to burn incense.

After burning incense, they walked through the Hunyuan Hall and arrived at the Sanqing Hall Square inside. The pavilion on the square made Youhua feel as if she had returned to ancient China.

"This place is so big. I feel like some of the buildings in Nara are very similar to here." Yuka said in a low voice.

"After all, most of Nara's buildings were modeled after those from the Tang Dynasty. The Qingyang Palace has existed from the Zhou Dynasty to the present, so it is normal that there are some traces of the Tang Dynasty in the buildings." Zhao Yu explained.

"Wow, so awesome!" Youhua widened her eyes. The Zhou Dynasty has been around for thousands of years, right?

"It's precisely because it has existed for so many years that it has become so big..." Zhao Yu shrugged.

"But unfortunately, part of it was destroyed in the Ming Dynasty and it was not restored until the Qing Dynasty, so some things cannot be verified."

"What a pity..." Yuka said with some regret.

"Look, the Qingyang Palace's Qingyang is right there. Do you want to touch it?" Zhao Yu pointed to the two bronze statues standing at the entrance of the Sanqing Hall.

Youhua looked in the direction of Zhao Yu's finger. The two green sheep were different. One had horns and the other did not. But they both looked majestic, except that the originally beautiful golden color had faded a little.

The sheep's body is golden on one side and dark blue on the other, appearing a little mottled, and looks a bit like alopecia areata.

"Isn't this a bad idea? I think they seem to have faded due to rubbing..." Yuka hesitated.

In her opinion, the shrine is very sacred, and most of the things inside it must be treated with a sense of reverence.

"Because according to legend, these two sacred sheep were the clothes fumigators in the home of Jia Sidao, a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. If a person with a predestined relationship touches a certain part of the sheep, he or she will be cured of the same part of the disease and regain health. If you touch the whole body of the green sheep, you will prolong your life...so everyone who comes here to worship will touch it."

Zhao Yu didn't really believe this, but since Youhua was curious, he didn't hesitate to explain it.

"Is that so? Aren't they afraid of being disrespectful to the gods?" Yuka asked doubtfully.

"In fact, in China, only useful gods are gods. The dragon kings in some temples, who are the gods in charge of water, will have their statues pulled out for punishment during droughts, right?" Zhao Yu said.

"Punishment?" Yuhua widened her eyes. This kind of thing was unheard of in Japan.

"The Chinese value pragmatism and believe that man can conquer nature. No matter what kind of god it is, it is just a spiritual sustenance. If the god is useful, the incense will be prosperous. If the god is useless, the temple will be abandoned. This has been a tradition since ancient times." Zhao Yu said.

"So in China, gods actually have equal status with humans. If you offer incense to them, they have the obligation to protect the area."

In this regard, China is actually the only country that does this. If it were other countries, it would be absolutely disrespectful to the gods if they dared to do so.

"So that's how it is. Now I understand why China has maintained its history for five thousand years." Youhua nodded and suddenly understood something in her heart.

The reason why Japan's nobility and royal family have been able to survive for so long is actually because of the belief in such things. The royal family equates gods with themselves, which would not work in China.

If I am not living well, I will take away your throne. The spirit of resistance has always been flowing in the blood of the Chinese people.

"So go and touch it. It's just for good luck. It's not blasphemous." Zhao Yu said as he pulled Youhua to the Sanqing Temple.

Youhua took a look at the bronze statue of Qingyang, and with the encouragement of Zhao Yu's eyes, she let go of her psychological burden and placed her hand on the statue.

"Qingyang, Qingyang, please bless Yujun with good health!"

"Pfft! Touching the Green Sheep is to pray for yourself, idiot!" Zhao Yu smiled helplessly.

"But, I hope Yujun is healthy..." Youhua turned away embarrassedly. Zhao Yu came to Youhua and grabbed her hand from behind.

"In that case, let's do it together."

The two of them put their hands together and placed them on Qingyang.

After touching the Qingyang and worshipping the Three Pure Ones, Youhua was about to get up from the cushion when she heard a meow from the side.

Youhua turned her head curiously and saw a calico cat lying on a cushion, calling out to the statue of the Three Pure Ones.

"It's a cat!" Yuhua's eyes lit up and she quietly moved towards the calico cat lying on the futon.

But when her hand was halfway extended, Sanhua seemed to have discovered something, called out to Youhua, and jumped directly into her arms.

This made Youhua feel a little flattered, and she kept stroking the cute Sanhua.

“So good, so good…” Youhua felt like her heart was melting.

"Meow..." Sanhua called out and closed her eyes in Youhua's arms.

"Oh? What should I do, Yujun? It seems like it wants to sleep!" A trace of distress appeared on Youhua's face.

I had just entered the main hall and hadn't had time to draw lots. The calico cat was lying in my arms. How could I leave?
"It does know how to find a place." Zhao Yu looked at the calico and couldn't help but complain.

"How about getting up slowly and carrying it to the back?"

"But if its owner finds out it's lost, how worried would he be?"

"Then we can't just wait here for its owner to come, right?"

Zhao Yu didn't want to waste too much time because of Sanhua, and he had never lay in Youhua's arms like this before, so it was a good thing for this cat.

"Yujun, you go and draw the fortune for me. I'll wait here." Youhua thought for a moment and spoke.

"Forget it, it will be boring if you don't go. I'll go with you." Zhao Yu sighed.

"Okay, okay! You are here!" a male voice sounded.

Zhao Yu turned around and saw that the Taoist priest who had been playing with his mobile phone had come to the Sanqing Temple at some point. His eyes were fixed on the calico cat in Youhua's arms.

When the calico cat heard the Taoist priest's voice, its eyes opened immediately, and it jumped out of Youhua's arms, lay on the cushion again, and continued to meow at the statue of the Three Pure Ones.

"Are you still complaining? You were the one who stole the food first! I have the right to scold you. Don't think that complaining to the master will be useful!" The Taoist priest couldn't help but speak when he saw Sanhua's look.

"Ah???" Zhao Yu and Youhua were both stunned. They looked at the statue of Sanqing and then at Sanhua.

So it came to complain to the Three Pure Ones?

"I'm sorry to make you laugh at me. This Sanhua fish was adopted by our palace. I hope it doesn't disturb you." The Taoist priest spoke to Zhao Yu with a look of common sense.

"No, it's okay...but are you sure this cat is not a spirit?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask.

"You have to believe in science, benefactor." The Taoist priest spoke seriously, picked up Sanhua, and turned to look at Youhua.

"But it has been here for a long time, and it can be considered a cat cultivating Taoism. It can be so close to this female donor, it seems that the female donor is also blessed with great fortune."

"Me?" Yuka pointed at herself.

"That's right. The female donor has such a good affinity with Taoism. If you want to have a fortune teller later, you can ask me to interpret it. I'm just outside the palace gate and it's free." After saying this, the Taoist priest left.

"Qingyang Palace, what an interesting place..." Watching the Taoist priest leave, Youhua showed a sigh on her face.

"You've come to the right place. Maybe you'll be lucky today. You might even get a good fortune." Zhao Yu touched Youhua's head.

"Since Mr. Yu said so, let's set off quickly!" After hearing what he said, Youhua quickly began to urge Zhao Yu.

Who doesn't like a good omen? Yuka can't wait to make a wish.

"Then let's go." Zhao Yu smiled, grabbed Youhua's hand, and left the Sanqing Temple.

Originally there was a place for tea tasting behind the Sanqing Hall, but there were not many tourists today and the Taoist priest seemed to be busy, so it was not open.

So the two of them walked and strolled along the way, and soon they arrived at the innermost Zijin Terrace.

Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Youhua first burned incense, then closed her eyes, made a wish, and shook the fortune stick.

"Can I stay with Yujun forever?"

The question flashed through Yuka's mind, and a stick quickly fell out.

After confirming the number, Yuuka had a bright smile on her face.

"It's Shang Shang Ji! Yu Jun! Come and try it too!"

"Got it." Zhao Yu took the stick tube, burned incense first, and then began to shake the sticks.

After a while, the signature came out. Zhao Yu took a look at the number and put away the corresponding signature paper.

"Hey? What fortune did Yujun ask for? Let me see!" Youhua poked her head out and wanted to see Zhao Yu's fortune.

"It's nothing. It's very auspicious. It looks like our new year will be smooth." Zhao Yu looked at Youhua with a smile.

"Really? That's good... let's go find the Taoist priest to interpret the divination!" Yuhua excitedly turned back the same way she came.

The Taoist priest just now said that we can go to the palace gate to find him, so he shouldn’t leave, right?

Zhao Yu glanced at Youhua's back and quietly took out the signature from his pocket.

The worst luck, the fortune says "Tao Sanchun takes command", and the palace of good and bad luck is the worst palace of Hai.

The poem says: "Reining the horse and holding the whip, I come straight ahead, half worried and half calamity, just like a house on fire, and rain from the sky turning it to ashes."
