Chapter 0017: Asking for a Sign (2 / 2)

At that thought, he couldn’t help but re-read the words on his signature, pondered them a little more, and then stepped forward.

Smiling softly, he said to the young monk, “I’m afraid Master has some misunderstandings about this sign.”

The young monk’s face suddenly stiffened slightly, as if a scholar was suddenly told by an ordinary person that he was “not good at his art”, revealing an unconvinced look.

I couldn’t help but say, “Then I wonder what the monk has to say.”

Su Xiao also gave Gu Yun a surprised look, thinking that this guy would also interpret the signatures

Gu Yun took the bamboo stick and said with a smile, “When the clouds open and you don’t see the moon …… when there are no clouds, there are only two situations, one is to see the moon at night, and the other is to see the sun in the daytime, so when the clouds open and you don’t see the moon, then you will inevitably see the sun, and this sentence should read ‘Setting aside the clouds and seeing the sun ‘ meaning, great good fortune!”

At these words, the young monk’s face stiffened even more.

He wanted to retort, but couldn’t think of anything to say in rebuttal, because what Gu Yun said was supposed to be common sense!

Su Xiao’s face also had a sudden glow, and her beautiful eyes gradually brightened up again.

Hey, it seems like that’s what’s going on!

He couldn’t help but excitedly come over to Gu Yun’s side and said, “There’s more there’s more.”

Gu Yun continued, “The fire starts without seeing the wind, which means that although the fire is burning, there is a limited amount of things that can be burned away because there is no wind. It means that although there is a little twist and turn, you don’t have to be afraid and it will soon pass. This sentence, auspicious!”

Su Xiao couldn’t stop herself from nodding, another slight smile on her face.

“As for the reeds painting the sand, this sentence should mention an allusion, called ‘painting the ground with reeds’, and the reeds in ancient times meant reeds. It is said that Ouyang Xiu’s family was poor when he was a child, so his mother taught Ouyang Xiu to read, write and draw by drawing the ground with reeds. Tough is tough, but what happened to Ouyang Xiu afterward”

“Become a great writer ah!” Su Xiao said.

“Congratulations, the answer is correct! So this sentence tells you that hard work will be rewarded, Daikichi!”

When Su Xiao heard this, she was already smiling lightly, her pretty eyes curving downward, as pretty as a crescent moon.

“What about the last sentence?”

She happily reached over with one hand to also hold the sign, but with one hand she was tugging on Gu Yun’s short sleeve, intending to also want to take a good look at the face of the sign, but without realizing it, she was so close to Gu Yun that she was close to sticking to him.

Gu Yun asked about a warm fragrance if there was one, and couldn’t help but laugh lightly at her, “Buddhist clean place, pay attention to the image.”

Su Xiao then realized that she was so close to Gu Yun, and hurriedly retreated some distance, a trace of scarlet flew up on her face, but she glared at him again.

Then said, “That’ll do it, come on.”

Gu Yun continued, “The last sentence, Demoiselle hoeing a new field, obviously means that you’re going to enter a new field of cultivation, and a new field of course means a university. Therefore, this sentence remains greatly auspicious.”

Su Xiao clenched her pink fists happily and asked, “Then isn’t this sign the top one?”

Gu Yun said in a serious manner, “It’s more than a top sign! These four sentences also allude to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so it’s simply a superior sign!”

Su Xiao immediately smiled like, said, “Really, you didn’t lie to me that’s a top sign!”

She then turned her attention to the young monk.

The eyes were clearly filled with questioning and skepticism.

年轻和尚此时已像个雕塑一样，只感觉脸上火辣辣的，嘴张着却是半晌说不出话来。

How can you interpret this sign like this?

So all the explanations he gave to those incense burners before were wrong?

That’s not right. That’s not what Senior said!

But why did he say it in a way that made sense and was flawless?

He was now tempted to call his senior brother, who had taught him how to interpret the sign, and tell him that someone had smashed the scene and that the scene was awkward!

But after a few moments of silence, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a break that could save some face.
