Chapter 499 Looking for an Expert
“This world is truly mysterious.”

Zhang Bo smacked his lips.

"That's interesting."

Zhuge Yun soon stopped dwelling on how unreliable this matter seemed to ordinary people, and instead asked with great interest, "So what are Grandma Luo and the others going to do?"

"Looking for a Taoist priest or a high-ranking monk?"

Isn’t that how it’s played out in TV dramas?

"Where are there any capable Taoist priests or monks nowadays?"

"Isn't it all just a lie?"

Zhao Luzheng muttered.

“It’s just a waste of money.”

Zhang Bo remembered that his neighbor had invited a high monk to perform a ritual for an elderly man who had been ill for a long time. The old man did get a slight improvement, but he passed away after only three or four days.

Zhang Bo thought at the time that the old man's condition seemed to have improved but it was just a last gasp, but it was not appropriate to say such things in front of the man's family.

But seeing how happy and grateful they were to the so-called monk, Zhang Bo felt a little uncomfortable.

If the family wasn't too confused and the old man had been in the hospital for a long time and they had no other options, so they asked a senior monk to pray for him, Zhang Bo felt that he probably wouldn't be able to help but "meddle in other people's business."

Although it is very likely that you will not get any good results.

However, later, when he happened to hear his family members talking about how much money that family spent to invite that eminent monk, Zhang Bo thought that maybe there really are people in the world who have too much money and don’t know where to spend it?

The amazing thing is, there are quite a few of these people.

Look, this family near my home is an example.

……

Moreover, according to what Zhang's mother said, if that family had not insisted on taking the old man out of the hospital and brought in all kinds of people, the old man would not have passed away so early.

After all, although the old man was seriously ill and didn't have much time left to live, the doctor said that if the situation was good, he could at least live for another week or two.

Zhang's mother finally sighed: Why don't you stay in the hospital when you are sick?

Zhang Bo deeply agreed with this.

It's not that he doesn't believe that there are masters in the world.

He just thinks that ordinary people can't meet a master.

Instead of pinning your hopes on this unrealistic possibility, it is better to be realistic and listen to your doctor.

……

"Who says it's not?"

Zhang Bo and others’ opinions are also Li Yan’s concerns.

Young people nowadays have read too many reports on this topic, and since they have received scientific education, they are even less likely to believe in these so-called experts.

Because there have been so many bad guys, the word "expert" has almost become synonymous with liar.

……

"Oh, really? Grandma Luo and the others really want to find a Taoist priest or a monk to check on Little Starry Sky?"

Li Yan's reaction undoubtedly confirmed their guess. Zhuge Yun opened his mouth and shouted in surprise.

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng were also stunned.

They were just joking before.

I didn’t expect that they would guess it?!

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He suddenly became curious about what kind of expert the Man family would invite?
Taoist priest or monk?
Could it be that he has real talent and knowledge?

Or is he just another pretentious fraud?

……

"of course it's true."

"Because my mother has always been superstitious about these things, Grandma Luo has asked my mother to find a reliable expert."

Li Yan rolled his eyes.

He had tried to persuade Li's mother on the phone before.

Unfortunately, Li's mother had no intention of listening to him. She hung up the phone and went to contact an expert for Grandma Luo.

Li Yan answered the busy tone on the phone:...

Li's mother also knows her son very well, and knows that her son has never liked this kind of thing since he was a child. She doesn't care either, and she actually believes that it is better to believe it than not to believe it.

She doesn't force her son to be like her.

But her son couldn't interfere with her choice.

Some things work if you believe in them.

Besides, what happened in the Man family is so strange this time, it would be good to find an expert to take a look.

……

Because it involved Li Yan's mother, no one knew what to say for a while.

They couldn't say in front of her son that her mother was too superstitious, could they?
Li Yan can say such words, but they cannot, at least they cannot be the first to speak.

……

"Li Yan, does your mother have any connections in this area?"

Zhao Lu was quite curious.

In fact, he has never met any Taoist priests or monks in real life.

No matter how well-dressed they are on the street, most people subconsciously think they are all liars.

Not to mention anything else, if he was really an expert, why would he set up a stall in the open air in the sun and rain?
Don't tell him that it's about returning to nature and living in seclusion. Do you think it's about writing a novel or filming a TV series?

……

"After all, my mother has always believed in these things. After so many years, she must have some connections in this area."

"But who knows if it's reliable?"

Li Neng curled his lips. He didn't have much hope that the expert Li's mother finally found would have any real talent or knowledge.

……

"Li Yan, why don't you talk to Grandma Luo and the others and ask them to reconsider this matter? Spending money is a small matter, but what if the child is hurt?"

Zhang Bo hesitated for a moment, but still tried to persuade him.

Li's mother naturally has good intentions, but sometimes she is afraid that good intentions may lead to bad results.

Zhang Bo really didn't believe how capable this master who could be found by ordinary people could be.

By then, it will be fine if there is no merit or demerit.

What if that "expert" uses some "evil" things and hurts the child?
……

"It's no use. When I tried to persuade her before, my mother hung up on me."

Speaking of this, Li Yan curled his lips. His mother actually hung up on him? !

He really had the urge to call his mother again and ask her: Can you be any more childish?

Thinking it seemed a bit outrageous, I gave up the idea.

……

Li Yan waved his hand, "Forget it, they will give up if they find it useless after consulting an expert."

"Now, they won't listen to opposing opinions."

"Besides, don't worry, my mother will keep a close watch and won't let anyone hurt Little Starry Sky."

Li Yan was sure of this.

Although Li's mother is somewhat superstitious, she is not blindly obsessive like some people. On the contrary, Li's mother has her own bottom line and judgment.

Therefore, the people in their family have never strongly opposed Li's mother's "hobby" in this regard.

I just occasionally reminded Li's mother not to be deceived.

……

"Li Yan."

Zhuge Yun came close to Li Yan and smiled brightly.

Of course, in Li Yan's eyes, that smile was extremely annoying and vulgar.

……

"what?"

Li Yan subconsciously dodged, with a look of vigilance and disgust on his face, "Your smile is so disgusting."
