However, most of these pre - ordained calamities are insoluble situations.
So, under normal circumstances, when a Taoist priest sees that someone is about to face such a catastrophe, they will inform the person in advance and tell them to be more careful during that period. Maybe they can then avoid the disaster.
This was the method Little Tuanzi initially used. By means of talismans or incantations, she tried to sever the connection between Yu Qiu and the other person in advance to prevent the disaster from happening.
Yu Qiu was just lucky because he was Nian Nian's elder brother.
They were still wracking their brains here trying to figure out how to help him.
If it were someone else, Shen Weixun would not hesitate to tell Nian Nian to stop meddling.
After all, fate has already taken its original course. If Nian Nian gets too involved, it will have a certain impact on herself.
No one can predict whether this impact will be good or bad.
However, getting involved in others' karma without cause will probably have a negative impact.
The best way to minimize this impact is to follow the will of heaven and selectively defy it.
The approaching catastrophe is not completely insoluble, but it is high - risk and troublesome.
Take the male ghost who wanted to buy the life of the front - desk lady as an example.
He was deceiving the heavens.
According to fate, the middle - aged old ghost was already at the end of his lifespan and had no chance of coming back to life.
But he wanted to live on, so he came up with the idea of buying a living person's lifespan for himself.
However, this method is extremely immoral. Even if he were to succeed and steal a few years of lifespan, he would live a very unhappy life.
After his second death, when he goes to the underworld and meets the judge, all these old debts will be dug out and he will receive a certain punishment.
The sorcerer who did the spell for the middle - aged male ghost, after taking this job, surely wouldn't just stop there and leave the client alone after helping him buy a lifespan.
He must have a backup plan.
Most likely, he would wait until the middle - aged male ghost was on the Yellow Spring Road, then snatch him back, transfer the bought lifespan to the man, and make a paper figurine that was extremely similar to the man in aura. He would then burn the paper figurine for the underworld to replace the man on the Yellow Spring Road.
After the paper figurine completed the thirteen roads in the underworld on behalf of the man, from the perspective of the underworld, the man would be considered dead.
No one would bother him anymore.
He would then be able to safely get through this life - and - death crisis.
In a way, this method is deceiving the heavens.
What Shen Weixun was going to do was similar to what this middle - aged man wanted to do.
Let the situation develop as it should, and then interfere at the right time or find a way to break the deadlock.
Deceive the heavens into thinking that Yu Qiu's catastrophe was over, and then he could safely get through this calamity.
But deceiving the heavens comes at a price.
It shortens one's lifespan.
So this matter must be handled with extreme caution. Some unimportant details can be completely ignored.
"Let's do it as Third Senior Brother said!"
Now that there was a solution, Nian Nian was no longer as gloomy as before.
She relaxed her brows and once again became the sunny Little Tuanzi.
As she said this, she took out a blank yellow talisman from her small satchel, took out cinnabar and a writing brush, and was about to draw and write on it.
But Shen Weixun stopped her in time.
"Don't use this."
"Ah?"
Nian Nian blinked in confusion.
"I've collected a few peach - wood tokens that haven't been used yet. When we get back, we'll use those to strengthen the marriage bond between Yu Qiu and Xu Nuannuan. The karma will be counted on the female ghost who has already vanished. We won't interfere."
Shen Weixun was really glad that after returning from Taoyuan Village, he didn't choose to ignore the matter but tried every means to find out the origin of the peach - wood tokens.
During this period, he had collected many peach - wood tokens from the market that originated from the same source as Luo Wuyou's token.
The female general's soul had vanished, and these peach - wood tokens had lost their effect of absorbing others' essence. Now they had become ordinary marriage - bond tokens.
The female general's soul was powerful. While the peach tree nourished her, she also reciprocated and allowed the peach tree to grow for so many years without withering.
The two complemented each other. Even though the female general's soul had vanished, the spiritual energy naturally generated by the peach tree wouldn't disperse so quickly.
It was more effective than normal talismans for seeking a marriage bond.
The most important thing was that the peach - wood tokens originated from the female general's ghost. The reason they could only be used for seeking a marriage bond was that the female general was only concerned with love and her only obsession was Zhang Zicheng.
So when using the peach - wood tokens, most of the karma would be attributed to the vanished female general.
It would have little impact on them.
Of course, they couldn't use these tokens themselves.
Xu Nuannuan had to use them on Yu Qiu.
Nian Nian didn't quite understand the function of the peach - wood tokens. After all, she had only seen Luo Wuyou's token. She played with it for a while and then Third Senior Brother took it away. She didn't even have time to examine it carefully.
But she knew that she should listen to Third Senior Brother.
"Okay! I'll listen to Third Senior Brother. But if I don't need to cast spells, what can I do?"
Nian Nian was also very aware of the power of karma.
She could accept Third Senior Brother's help. After all, she and Third Senior Brother didn't need to distinguish between each other.
But at the same time, she didn't want to leave all the troubles to Third Senior Brother.
She was very capable!
She could help with a lot of things!
"You? What you need to do now is to eat well."
Looking at Nian Nian's eager little eyes, Shen Weixun immediately understood what she was thinking and couldn't help laughing.
He ruffled the cute little girl's face, put aside all his worries and other thoughts, and diligently continued to add dishes to Little Tuanzi's plate.
When it was time to pay the bill after they were full, Yu Sheng's jaw dropped in surprise.
Nian Nian actually took out a brand - new bank card from her small satchel.
She waved her little hand boldly and told the waiter to swipe her card.
He was very sure that the bank card couldn't have been given by his father.
Because Yu Shanhe was a very dedicated person in every aspect.
For so many years, their family had only used bank cards from one bank, while the one Little Tuanzi took out was from another bank.
So when did his sister get so much private money?
You have to know that this meal cost more than thirty thousand yuan!
That was just his monthly allowance!
"Sister, where did you get this money?"
After leaving the restaurant, Yu Sheng really couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
He thought he would get an answer like it was left to her by a certain senior brother or master.
But he didn't expect Little Tuanzi to hold her head high and answer proudly, "I earned it!"
"Ah? You earned it?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a long time and kept staring at Nian Nian.
After repeatedly confirming that his sister was just a chubby little girl, he continued to ask, "How did you earn it?"
"I exterminated a thousand - year - old evil ghost! A big brother gave me... um... five million as a reward! There were so many zeros!"
Yu Sheng:......
Five million?
His sister earned five million?
His sister, who had just turned six, went out and earned five million in one go?
So was he really the only useless one in this family!
