"Madam, your forehead is clouded in darkness, a sign of impending disaster! Give me three steamed buns! I can help you turn misfortune into good luck!"
Yusu, in a dark blue Taoist robe and with her hair tied up into a bun, had a bit of dirt on her face, yet she looked utterly serious.
Getting cursed at in the early morning, Mrs. Zhang angrily looked up.
Upon seeing that the speaker was a young girl, fearfully pale and pitiful-looking, Mrs. Zhang, who had intended to curse back, sighed, took out a large bag, put five steamed buns into it, and handed it over.
"Here are the buns, I don't need a charm!"
Gobbling down the five buns, Yusu pulled out a charm paper and insisted, "Madam, I'm a Taoist priest, I'm not eating for free! This charm is for your safety, it will protect you from harm."
"Trust me, hold on to it." Yusu folded the charm into a small triangle, tucked it into Mrs. Zhang's pocket, and turned around to leave.
Mrs. Zhang looked dumbfounded and yelled, "Hey, where are you going?"
"Capital city," Yusu responded, and without looking back, she waved and left.
Because she had the Yin-Yang eyes, Yusu was an orphan. She had been abandoned by the riverbank since birth.
Fortunately, she met Taoist Priest Fang Yuan, who took her back to his Taoist temple as his disciple, where he taught her the five arts of metaphysics.
A week ago, Taoist Priest Fang Yuan passed away.
Before his death, he left her a message.
"Disciple, I have arranged a marriage for you. His life is of great importance, and he is your only hope to overcome this disaster. You must go to the capital city to find him."
Her master told her that she was born with pure Yin in her destiny, her constitution cold and adverse, and she would not live past twenty.
In just one more day, she would turn twenty, which means she had only one day left to live.
To survive, Yu Sui had no choice but to descend the mountain, in search of her 'fiancé'.
However, the closer she got to twenty, the worse her luck became.
Unfortunate events happened one after another on her journey. As soon as she stepped out the door, she was hit with a mudslide.
On the way to the town, a bolt of lightning struck and ruined her old cell phone. With difficulty, she managed to reach the train station, only to spend all her money buying a ticket.
Yu Sui didn't want to die, she wanted to live.
After much difficulty, she finally got some steamed buns from a kind old lady. She must rush to Kyoto as soon as possible.
Walking won't make it in time.
She needs to think of a solution, maybe hijack a car.
...
As the sky began to darken.
Aunt Zhang locks the door and rode her little electric donkey into the familiar alleyway.
After one more street, she will be home.
What about the blood light disaster?
What about the ominous sign of a darkened forehead?
Aunt Zhang muttered to herself, "The youngsters nowadays are even more superstitious than us old folks."
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind, startling her.
Aunt Zhang quickly stepped on the brakes, took a look back, and saw a plant pot that had fallen from above, shattering into pieces.
It was so strange. The fragments were scattered everywhere, but not a single piece hit her.
Aunt Zhang's heart pounded like a drum, panting heavily. If she had been cycling slower, the pot would have landed on her head.
Remembering the girl, she quickly pulled out the talisman for safety from her pocket, but it had turned into a pile of ash.
She gasped in astonishment, "Oh my, I must have encountered a master!"
Aunt Zhang got off her bike and bowed respectfully in the direction of Kyoto.
"Master, thank you for saving my life."
...
At three in the morning, a thick fog enveloped the area and the surrounding temperatures dropped drastically, making people shiver with cold.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a yellow taxi suddenly appeared at the intersection, with a strange and eerie spiritual banner fluttering in the wind on the roof.
"Little miss, do you need a ride?"
Yu Sui slowly stood up, walked closer, and to her surprise, the outside of the taxi was covered in SpongeBob SquarePants illustrations.
This driver was rather amusing.
Without any hesitation, Yu Sui pulled open the car door and got in. She said with a calm face: "Let's go, Kyoto."
The driver was a little stunned.
Did this girl have guts or what!
Slowly turning his head and showing a pale face, he plucked out his two eyeballs right in front of Yu Sui, making a "pop" sound.
Blood flowed down from the empty eye sockets, instantly dyeing the entire car cabin red.
A strong smell of blood enveloped the car, making one feel like throwing up.
The driver grinned, revealing yellowed teeth.
"Little girl, surprised or not? I'm a ghost～"
