“Grandpa, 1 really didn’t see anything in the stone. It’s just an ordinary stone.” Tan Rou said with certainty.
“Is that so?” Grandpa Tao frowned. “Could it be that it’s just a luminous stone that can emit light? Does it really not have any divine power?”
Tan Rou found it funny. Why would someone think that a stone had divine power? However, as soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she threw it away because she was reborn and she had really seen something from the stone. If there was no divine power in the world, what was happening to her? “Grandpa, where did this stone come from?”Tan Rou wanted to know the origin of this stone. Perhaps she would know why she had been reborn if she understood its origin.
“The ancestor of our Tao family bought this from a half-immortal. The half-immortal told the ancestor’s fortune and said that he had a rich and noble life, but if he wanted to be rich and noble, he had to buy this stone.” Grandpa Tao said, “The ancestor didn’t want to buy it, but that half-immortal insisted that he must buy this stone. Otherwise, he would be in trouble. Hence, the ancestor bought this stone.”
Tan Rou felt that the half-immortal was quite powerful. He had the potential to be a salesperson. With just a few words, he tricked people into buying a useless stone.
“The half-immortal said that this stone has a very strong Yin Qi. Only girls can see what’s inside the stone. Moreover, the stone has recognized its owner, so only girls with ancestral bloodlines can see it.” Grandpa Tao continued, “Up until now, only the daughter of the ancestor could see her past life.”
“Has it been a long time since?” Tan Rou asked.
“Yes, it has been more than 190 years.” Grandpa Tao said, “In the past 100 years, there have been too few girls born in the Tao family. Your father has four children and only one daughter. Your second uncle only has one child, your cousin. It’s the same for your third uncle. Your aunt couldn’t see what was inside the stone, and she didn’t give birth to another girl.”
So in the past hundred years, was Tan Rou the only one who had seen her past and present life? No one would believe this, right?”
If she told anyone else about this, there might be researchers who would bring her to do research. After all, no one had ever heard of someone being reborn. Perhaps there was, but they didn’t dare to say it.
“Can’t boys try it?” Tao Zheng asked curiously.
Grandpa Tao shook his head “There would be no reaction if a man puts his hand on it.”
Tao Zheng’s brain seemed to have suddenly been enlightened “But it’s useless even if Rourou and Auntie were to be placed there! Everyone could try to see if that half-immortal was lying to our ancestors.”
Father Tao said, “We have already thought of the imaginable. Your grandfather, your elder brother, and 1 have actually tried it, but the stone did not react. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Tao Zheng was very interested. “I’ll give it a try then.”
Grandpa Tao did not object because he was also looking forward to a miracle.
However, a miracle did not happen. The stone did not react even after five five minutes. He pulled his hand back and muttered to himself, “This stone can’t be fake, right?”
When he came out, Grandpa Tao was also looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Tao Zheng disappointed him.
“Let’s go back first. Perhaps in the future, when you have a daughter, this stone will finally have a reaction.” Grandpa Tao still firmly believed that this stone had divine power. After all, the daughter of the ancestor had indeed seen her previous life and this life flash before her eyes.
On the way back, the few of them sat separately. The man sat in one car, the woman sat in another, and the bodyguards sat in two cars, one in front and one behind to protect them.
“Mom, does that stone really have divine power?” Tan Rou quietly asked Tao Mama.
“What divine power?” Mother Tao laughed mockingly. “It was just that the half-immortal had lied to the ancestor of the Tao family. I heard from your grandma that the half-immortal sold the stone to others because he lost the bet. If the stone really had divine power, why would the half-immortal sell it so easily?”
Tan Rou naturally knew that the half-immortal was telling the truth because she had just experienced it, but she couldn’t show it.
“Mom, do people really have past lives?” Tan Rou asked again.
Mother Tao was a firm scientific materialist and didn’t believe in these mysterious things. “Don’t listen to your grandfather’s nonsense. How can people have a past life? Don’t think too much. Just be yourself. Moreover, if someone really knew about his previous life and this life, what would he do if he was a pig in his previous life?”
Tan Rou also smiled. “Alright, I won’t think too much about it..”
