"Boy?"
Ms. Liu and her husband looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes, "What does this mean?"
Xun Yiqing said leisurely: "The so-called 'boys' are the little boys who sweep the ground under the seats of the gods. They are born with spiritual roots and wisdom. If these 'boys' make mistakes, they will be expelled from the seats of the gods and enter reincarnation, and walk through the world of the living. Your daughter is such a 'boy'."
It seems that the reason why Niu Niu is born with extraordinary intelligence has been found.
Xun Yiqing said: "When a 'boy' comes into the world, he still carries the wisdom of his previous life. He is born smarter than ordinary people. But they are expelled because they made mistakes. They come to the world to suffer and be tempered, not to enjoy the wealth of the world of the living. They are often weak and sickly and are prone to disasters."
It is recorded in Taoist scriptures:
After going through the trials and tribulations of a lifetime in the mortal world, most of the "boys" have to return to serve under the immortals.
They are born with immortal roots, and their souls are much stronger than those of ordinary people. After reincarnation, they are born into mortal bodies, and the power of their souls cannot be integrated with their fragile bodies.
This leads to the rejection of their spirit and body, and their gradual weakening, which is also the biggest reason why boys are prone to early death.
"So, Ms. Liu, your daughter's sudden serious illness is a disaster brought about by her soul, and has nothing to do with her body."
Judging from her palms, Niu Niu should have a healthy and safe life.
Although there were minor illnesses and disasters along the way, they were all overcome in the end and he died of old age.
It is because she was a 'virgin' under a certain immortal in her previous life, and her soul cannot be integrated into this body, which is why the actual situation does not match her hands.
Ms. Liu and her husband probably understood some of what they heard and said in disbelief:
"Master Xun, what you mean is that we can't keep Niuniu no matter what?"
Xun Yiqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Theoretically, it's difficult."
Ms. Liu shook her head repeatedly, her emotions breaking down: "Why?! No one is born to die young, this is unfair to our family!"
The sick Niuniu was at a loss, while Mr. He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and whispered to her to calm her down, "Don't say that in front of our daughter."
[Ah, this... the couple spent all their money to treat their child, and now they say that this child is destined to die. No one can accept this. To put it bluntly, isn't this just a debt collector? ]
[I have heard of the term "boy life", but can this be exchanged for a "boy"? It seems that after the exchange, there is no need to die. ]
[I used to think my child was stupid, but now it seems that it’s okay to be a little stupid, at least he is healthy…]
Seeing the comments in the live broadcast room, Liu asked: "Is this 'virgin life' not replaceable? I saw the audience in the live broadcast room said it can be replaced."
"No." Xun Yiqing frowned and said, "I know there is a saying among the people that 'exchanges boys', but you should know that this is against the law and is not a proper method."
The term "exchanging a boy" is a subtle expression, but it actually means the same thing as exchanging one's life.
Find a child with a similar horoscope and of similar age, and use metaphysical means to swap the two people's destinies and identities.
From then on, the "boy's life" will be transferred to another child.
The other party will die in place of the original child - that is, become a "boy" and serve under the immortal family.
The original child will become an ordinary person after losing his "virgin life". His fate, which was full of disasters and diseases, will return to normal and he will no longer die suddenly.
At the same time, the wisdom in their souls will disappear, and their talents will be lost among the crowd.
In Xun Yiqing's opinion, death may not be a bad thing for people with "boyhood" because they do not belong to the six realms of reincarnation.
But he could also understand the pain of Ms. Liu and her husband.
He sighed, his tone a little compassionate: "I'm sorry, I can't do this kind of 'boy exchange' thing, and I advise you not to find someone to do it. First, ordinary people can't do it, and second, if you exchange the 'boy', it will be unfair to the other child, and your whole family will be infected with evil power."
After thinking for a while, Xun Yiqing turned to the camera again and said to the audience in the live broadcast room:
"The audience watching the live broadcast should not be obsessed with this. The idea of 'changing a boy' is not as simple as you think. People who have not learned the orthodox way cannot do it. There are not so many 'boys' in real life, and not everyone has the so-called 'boy fate'."
Some children who have good fortunes and are relatively intelligent but often fall ill may be misdiagnosed as "virgins" by folk mediums.
In fact, they just have weak horoscopes and are more prone to illness.
What is more important when looking at a 'boy' is their wisdom and soul. To replace such a soul, a master who can do it must have a certain level of Taoism.
Those in the folk who can be easily replaced are naturally not "virgins".
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is not good to arbitrarily change other people's fate.
Ms. Liu had a dazed look on her face and clutched her husband's sleeve tightly, unwilling to accept this fact.
She looked at her emaciated daughter, her precious daughter whom she had carried for ten months and spent all her efforts to give birth to. How could she accept that her daughter had left this world?
But if she was asked to sacrifice someone else's child, she couldn't do it.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward was depressed.
Liu lowered his voice and read the script: "Our No. 1 contestant Xun Yiqing saw that Niuniu's identity was special. She turned out to be the legendary 'virgin life'. She got seriously ill because of her special fate."
"Next, let's invite contestant No. 10 Xi Haihong to come on stage and see if she can find something new in Niu Niu."
Xi Haihong wore casual clothes and walked into the ward.
"Good afternoon, host. Hello everyone."
After learning about Niu Niu's condition from Da Liu, she walked closer to the bed and looked at the sick little girl.
The audience in the live broadcast room had no hope for her at first, but after watching her for a while, Xi Haihong seemed to have seen something strange and exclaimed, "Huh?"
Xi Haihong raised her head and said, "This little girl's soul is golden."
As the ghost of death, the underworld has given her the special ability to collect souls, so she can naturally see the soul inside a person through his body.
In Xi Haihong's eyes, Niu Niu's soul emanated a faint golden light.
You should know that the souls of ordinary people are white. Those who have done many evil deeds will turn into gray-black due to the karma. Gold color is often very rare. A person needs to accumulate virtue and do good deeds in his life to obtain some golden light of merit.
The souls of people who have done good deeds in past lives are light golden in color.
It’s just that the golden color of the power of merit is purer and more dazzling, while the halo around Niu Niu’s soul is lighter and different.
After looking for a long time, Xi Haihong suddenly raised her head with a look of surprise.
She thought about where she had seen this kind of spirit before.
Hell!
When she was the Grim Reaper who was taking souls away and detaining them and sending them to the underworld for handover, she once saw such a yellow light on the body of a ghost messenger.
Xi Haihong remembered it very clearly. The ghost looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pretty and childish face and a somewhat arrogant attitude.
Generally, when the soul returns to the underworld, it will retain its appearance before death. This shows that the ghost met his death when he was in his teens and then became a minor ghost official of a high rank.
At that time, she was very curious and thought that he was a good person in his past lives.
After asking a familiar ghost official, I found out that the young ghost official had a great background.
The ghost messenger said with a sour tone: "He was originally a fairy boy under the fairy family, and he was a real fairy. He was different from us little ghosts. After his soul returned to the underworld, he became a ghost messenger because of his past fate with the fairy. We have practiced for a hundred years, but we are just errand boys. It's not that we have a bad temper."
It turns out that if the fairy boy could not return to the fairy family, he could still find a good job by staying in the underworld.
The one Xi Haihong saw was once the 'Shancai Boy' who served under the seat of the God of Wealth. His status was much higher than those of the City God boys. As soon as he entered the underworld, he became the manager of a small hell. However, it was said that he had a bad temper.
Now it seems that the pale yellow halo in Niu Niu's soul is just like the 'Sudhana Boy' that he saw at that time!
She said in a complicated tone:
"This little girl is destined to be a virgin."
After two masters said this in a row, Ms. Liu felt a little desperate. "Is there any way to ..."
Xi Haihong shook her head and said, "I know what you mean, but it is difficult to change a true 'boy's fate'. You have to consider that the mortal body cannot be integrated with their soul."
"Moreover, some 'boys' come down to earth to gain experience, while others are addicted to the prosperity of the mortal world and sneak away. Once they are discovered by the immortals, they will be called back..."
She felt quite sympathetic towards Ms. Liu and her husband. There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and it is not something that can be prevented by human power.
But there was one thing that made her a little confused.
The fact that Niu Niu is so seriously ill means that it is time for her to leave. Normally, boys who are recalled will die suddenly, so they will not suffer too much.
But Niu Niu has been ill for almost half a year.
This situation is a bit like being replaced by a "boy" and suffering for others.
But after looking carefully for a while, Xi Haihong was sure that the faint golden light was emanating from Niu Niu's soul, and it was something she possessed.
She muttered to herself "strange" and said to Ms. Liu:
"As a wandering ghost, I can't get involved in things like this. I'm sorry I can't help you."
【怎么说呢，人家仙童下凡的确就是来渡劫的，而且死了之后还能去当神仙，这么一看好像死亡也不算是难受的事情了，受伤的只有父母亲人……】
【我要是孩子家长肯定希望小孩儿平平安安，再说什么下辈子享福之类的话，这辈子不都是吃苦。】
【原来大家都相信有仙童下凡啊，感情只有我一个唯物主义者觉得这姑娘就是得癌症了hhhh】
【楼上我也，我不信但不妨碍我看得入迷。】
【其他选手都是能看出来一些事，但顾之桑是解决所有事情，只要桑姐没出场一切都有转机。】
【真相了，导演组每次都把桑桑放最后就是因为她先出场的话，这节目就没发拍了，她一个人就能把所有的事情都解决掉，没其他选手什么事。】
【拉踩选手的都是什么成分不用说了吧，这里不是粉圈，每位选手都很厉害。】
当看到各大平台和直播间评论区陆陆续续出现‘顾之桑吊打其他选手’、‘顾之桑才是玄学界第一人’这样的话，深谙粉圈套路的粉丝们便嗅到了一丝不详的气息。
这很明显是在捧杀顾之桑，也是故意拉其他选手粉的仇恨。
万一顾之桑哪次没做好，就会被踩到谷底。
闲到发慌的‘桑叶’粉们终于感觉到了危机，反而兴奋起来了。
一时间各大粉丝群和大粉开始组织反黑。
小小桑叶：[姐妹们警惕！！那些黑酸眼瞧着攻击不了桑桑的能力，就开始作妖了，他们可不是真心夸耀而是要把桑桑立成靶子，要败坏其他选手粉和路人们的好感。越是这种时候越得谦虚，千万不要中了他们的套！！]
果然如‘桑叶’粉们猜想的那样，很快网上便有了不少这种大肆吹捧顾之桑、贬低其他选手的言论。
什么‘这个节目不需要其他选手’、‘桑桑一个人可以吊打全场’……
每次看到这样的言论，‘桑叶’们都会反黑，很大程度上扼制了黑粉的行为。
大多数路人都能看出，这是黑顾之桑的手段。
但部分选手粉们还是心生不喜，被这些话影响到了对顾之桑的感官。
直播间内的评论没有那么和谐了。
看着不少人开始觉得顾之桑的‘粉丝’刷屏很讨厌，屏幕前的人得意地笑了。
她一边操纵着小号反装忠，在评论区挑事引火：【这年头实话都不让说了吗，桑桑就是甩其他选手一大截啊……不明白那些半吊子玄师怎么还有人喜欢。】
发出之后底下就多了不少回复。
【姐妹别说这样的话，删了行不行，你这是在给桑桑招黑！】
【故意的？这人是黑装粉，其他选手真的很厉害请大家不要被误导了。】
她把劝删的评论都删除，只回复路人和其他选手的粉丝继续拱火。
一边切换大号精分发言。
鹿有灵：【顾之桑的粉丝太败好感了，你们以为自家主子是神啊，还能和神仙抢人不成？简直笑死了。要是她能救活这个女孩儿，我倒立洗头。】
就在评论区乌烟瘴气之时，大刘宣布最后一位选手：7号顾之桑登场了。
顾之桑中场休息期间都在和黄纸人董英对戏、学习如何演好虞菁。
导演组叫她准备上场的时候，她刚刚试完一场情绪爆发度颇高的剧情，此时还没从角色里走出来，周身还带着刻意释放出来的气场。
尽管她没有夸张的服饰和精致妆容，长发挽成松散的低马尾拢在肩头，但一出场还是令人呼吸一窒。
瑞风眼微挑，顾之桑有些疑惑：“怎么了？”
大刘：“没、没怎么，就是觉得桑桑和往常有点不一样呢。”
照例读完台本，大刘便把位置让了出来。
看到顾之桑上场，刘女士的眼中又生出一丝期待来。
她是看过往期节目的，和网上大部分的观众一样，她私心是觉得所有选手中，顾之桑的实力最强。
顾之桑只看了一眼，便开口说道：
“这个女孩儿的身体全垮了，她吐息时的‘气’都是浑浊的，应该是身体里面器官出了毛病，挺严重的。”
“而且她身上有‘医’门气息的残留，前面是不是有人给她调理过身体，白慈？”
她直接说出了白慈的名号，要不是节目组确定她和外界没有联系，也没和其他选手接触，都要以为她看过直播了。
顾之桑语气淡淡，说道：“就算经白慈调理过，她的命门处——山根连接着印堂那一整片还是灰蒙蒙发黑，这是即将夭折之相。”
大刘问道：“那病因是何？有没有办法能解决呢？”
正如奚海红能看到妞妞的灵魂，顾之桑第一眼用灵觉探看时，便被妞妞淡金色的魂魄晃了一瞬。
她语气笃定，说道：“童子身。命中自带死劫，活命的办法只有一个就是‘换童子’。”
这下刘女士夫妻彻底绝望了。
顾之桑眉头微蹙，走到了病床前细细打量着妞妞，她那双微微上挑的瑞凤眼就像是能把人从里到外都看透，让妞妞有些紧张。
她伸出纤白的指尖，在小姑娘发黑的印堂摩挲两下，发自内心感到疑惑：
“这小姑娘为什么还活着？”
大刘轻咳一声，提醒她在镜头前收敛些，不要说这么有歧义的话。
顾之桑摆摆手，“我观察她的魂火生生不息，她前世应该是‘先天神’座下的小童，若是被召走，魂魄应该在三日之内离体。”
所谓‘先天神’就是大道中自然衍生出来的神明，神格要比从人仙、鬼仙、动物仙都高。
例如财神、月老。
这类‘先天神’座下的‘童子’地位也高，数量有限，基本不会流于地府或阳间，都会被召回。
妞妞病得太久了，久到不符合常理。
偏偏她的魂火显示确实是童子。
顾之桑眯着凤眼，总觉得有什么地方被自己忽视了，但一时间竟没看出来。
她拿出通宝钱币占了两卦，从卦象上也并未看出什么异常，而后又推演出了妞妞的八字十神。
正所谓：春秋甲寅子，冬夏卯未辰；金木乙卯合，水火庚辛壬；
土命逢辰巳，童子定为真。①
从八字中看，妞妞出生于十月金秋，月支、日支中又有甲、寅、子三支。
并且她的五行中利水土，缺金缺木，月支日支还有乙、卯、未三支交错。
这是真正的‘童子命’。
要知道民间大部分的‘童子命’要么是误判，要么是另一种‘影身童子’，‘真童子’还是很少见的。
顾之桑很相信自己的直觉。
她的魂魄已经迈入了地仙一列，同天地道法有了一丝感应，直觉很少出错。
妞妞还是她转世后碰到的第一个有些棘手的存在，她更感兴趣了，开始推演妞妞的父母支族。
这么一推演，倒真让她看出了一点东西。
顾之桑看向情绪低迷的刘女士，在她的面相上端详了许久，开口说道：
“刘女士你父母都去已经去世了，又没有兄弟姐妹，所以对你来说唯二的亲人就只有丈夫和女儿了。”
刘女士看了眼顾之桑，缓缓点头。
她父母去得早，是她这辈子的遗憾，对她来说亲情和家人是很重要的。
虽然婚后和丈夫很恩爱，但对她来说女儿妞妞才是唯一一个和她血脉相连、是她在这个世界上最重要的人了。
所以妞妞得病之后，她才会这么固执地想要治好她。
顾之桑若有所思，说道：“我理解你，除了丈夫和女儿之外，你身边应该还有一个关系很好的朋友吧？我不知道他是你的同事还是什么人，你们经常见面交集很深，但是这个人你不应该深交，从面相上的显示来看，这个人不是你的良友。”
她没从妞妞面相上看出太多，倒是看出刘女士命犯小人。
听到顾之桑说的话，刘女士脑海中第一时间跳出一个人。
下一刻她就否定了。
捕捉到她脸上的表情变化，顾之桑：“你有人选了。”
“不是……”刘女士讪讪道：“因为我交际圈挺小的，像顾大师你说的那种关系好、经常来往的朋友只有一个，但是那是我闺蜜，我们认识很久很久了，从我读书的时候就认识她。除了家人，她就是我最重要的人了，她不可能是坏人。”
顾之桑挑眉道：“凡事没有绝对和不可能。”
刘女士认真道：“是真的，我闺蜜对我特别特别好，对我女儿也一样。”
“我这么说吧，她是妞妞的干妈，妞妞从小到大很多昂贵的娃娃、玩具都是她给买的，之前妞妞不是学跆拳道受伤了么，她还生我的气呢，觉得女孩子应该娇养不该让她去吃这个苦……
妞妞查出怪病后，她忙前忙后帮我联系名医、帮我照顾妞妞，之前去外地的时候她都一直陪着我安慰我，让我千万不要崩溃，说孩子一定能治好的。”
"There are many such cases. She has a son and her living conditions are much better than mine. You also know that Niu Niu's illness cost a lot of money. My best friend directly paid more than 100,000 yuan for my medical expenses and told me that if my family really couldn't support it later, I should tell her directly and she would treat Niu Niu."
Ms. Liu smiled bitterly and said, "If she is not a good person, then why would she waste her energy and money? Besides, we have known each other for so long, and she has been nice to Niuniu for a long time, from childhood to adulthood."
"I'm ashamed to say that every time Niu Niu and Xiao Hong - my best friend's son - had a little conflict, my best friend would side with Niu Niu and let Xiao Hong give in to her. Sometimes I feel that she is so good to our family. It's really worth having such a friend in this life."
From what Ms. Liu said, we can indeed see why she firmly believes in her best friend.
Gu Zhisang tilted his head, "She has a son? How old is he?"
"She's the same age as Niuniu." Ms. Liu said, "It's fate for us. We got pregnant at about the same time. Because we had a good relationship, we prepared for and delivered the babies in the same hospital and in the same ward."
Mr. He interrupted and said, "Her husband and I are bringing you soup together."
"Yes, it's amazing that we got pregnant at about the same time. We both went into labor at the same time!"
Ms. Liu smiled faintly and said, "At that time, our natural delivery dates were almost the same, and we joked that the two children would be so destined to be born on the same day. As a result, she went into labor at noon, and I didn't have any labor until the afternoon, so I thought we definitely couldn't be born on the same day..."
Unexpectedly, my best friend had a difficult delivery. Her uterine contractions were weak and the baby's position was not right. She went through a lot of trouble.
Instead, she went into labor at night and gave birth in the early morning of the next day.
Gu Zhisang thought for a moment and realized something, "So your two children were born at the same time."
Ms. Liu: "About the same. I heard from the doctor that the timing was very close. I don't know the exact details, but I know that Niuniu came out a little later so she is a younger sister, and Xiaohong came out a little earlier so he is a older brother."
Gu Zhisang: "Can you confirm the exact time of the boy? Is he at the same hour as your daughter?"
"I really haven't asked this in detail." Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gu Zhisang's question was strange. "Why does Master Gu ask these questions? What does it have to do with my daughter's illness?"
Gu Zhisang smiled, his eyes slightly curved but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Maybe."
"If a boy is also born in the Yin hour, then he is likely to be a 'boy' as well."
The author has something to say:
①The method of deducing a boy’s fate comes from Baidu.
