Chapter 095 Metaphysics Live Broadcast + Raising Children 19
[The King of Rolls: ...This guy is incredibly unlucky!]
[Brother 钅呙: Based on my personal experience, this guy must have attracted something unclean!]
[Quan: I'm not saying this, but this guy is really hard to kill.]
[Cola Chicken Wings: Death God——I have tried so hard, why are you still alive?]
There was a jingling sound in the video, followed by the old man's occasional screams.
"Ouch, it hurts just looking at it. How could he fall again?" said the patient.
The nurses were also very surprised. They had just been rated as level three not long ago, and for this purpose, they had specially inspected and updated various facilities.
In other words, the quality of the hospital's equipment is guaranteed, so why do they always break down when they encounter this patient?
Although they didn't know what happened, in order to prevent accidents, the medical staff had to transfer the patient to another bed.
After the medical staff examined the old man again last night and left, the middle-aged man reappeared in front of the camera.
After being tossed around for a while, the middle-aged man was now covered in sweat.
He looked weak and disheveled, and half-jokingly said, "You saw what happened. This is how it happens. I always get into trouble for no apparent reason."
When the middle-aged man was unlucky again, Xiao Yan had already told him his fortune.
"You are indeed unlucky, but this is what you deserve."
The middle-aged man, upon hearing this, also grew angry. "You, anchor, are such harsh words! What do you mean by 'I deserve this'? I don't steal or rob, and I've never done anything bad. Not only do I donate to children in impoverished mountainous areas every year, I even saved a drowning child and was named the city's best citizen. How can I say I deserve this?"
Facing his accusation, Xiao Yan said calmly: "You do have a clear conscience towards the living, but you do have a guilty conscience towards the dead."
The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment: "Are you saying that the reason I encountered these things was because of the dead?"
He blinked blankly. "No, I haven't offended anyone alive, let alone the dead! Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"No misunderstanding, I said, this is indeed what you deserve."
"Let me ask you, have you ever said something like, 'If you could do this and that, you would repay me in this way?'"
The middle-aged man thought hard and said, "No, I've said before that I don't believe in ghosts or gods, so how could I possibly make a promise?"
"Think about it carefully! The dead are different from the living. The living are bound by laws, and the dead have their own rules. If you hadn't made that promise, according to your original fortune, you would have been destined to have no fortune. The fact that your company has grown to this size is due to other people's efforts."
"Nothing is free in this world. If you don't keep your promise, the current misfortune is just a small matter. Don't let it end up costing you your life."
The man was also annoyed: "But I really didn't do it. I am the one who keeps my promises! If I really promised something, I would definitely remember it... Wait, it seems that I really did. I don't know if it's because of this incident."
He seemed to remember something, and his tone changed from full of confidence at the beginning to hesitation now.
"It was probably a few years ago. One night I went for a walk by the river and saw a body floating in the river. I quickly called the police. When the police arrived, I left."
"As I said earlier, I'm a kind-hearted person. I've done a lot of things to save people, but I don't take them to heart."
Xiao Yan nodded: "It is precisely because of this that you can live safely until now. Please continue."
The middle-aged man felt relieved after hearing this. He continued, "The night I returned home, I dreamed of a homeless man in rags. I approached him and asked if he needed help. His hair was messy and his face was dirty. I couldn't see his face clearly, but he told me he couldn't find his way home."
"I asked him where he lived and if he remembered who he was. He said he didn't remember, but he remembered that his home was in a city in the south, maybe called Tongma or Tongma. Anyway, his accent was very thick, so I couldn't understand it. I thought this guy must have been wandering for too long and his mind was a little unclear. Just when I took out my phone to help call the police, I couldn't find it. The guy kept shouting that he wanted to go home. I comforted him while looking for his phone, telling him not to worry, and I would do my best to help him find his family."
"Then he kept thanking me and said he would repay me. After I woke up, I realized it was just a dream and didn't pay much attention to it."
The middle-aged man was a little bit unbelievable: "Anchor, it can't be because of this!?"
He said aggrievedly, "Who would take a dream seriously? And if the body by the river is really the brother in the dream, and I helped him before, how can I do good things and then do something wrong? And he's a scam, right? I only promised to help. In that situation, any normal person would help call the police, right? Why is he forcing a sale?"
Xiao Yan explained, "You called the police for him, creating a causal relationship between you two. That's why he was able to enter your dreams. Have you heard of the idiom 'ghost talk'? The dead are different from the living. They don't have the morals or sense of right and wrong of the living. To fulfill their deepest obsessions, whether it's through deception or other means, as long as you make a promise to them, the contract between you is sealed."
"Of course, the dead don't do whatever they want. When they make deals with you, they're bound by the constraints of heaven and earth. They'll thank you in their own way, but this gratitude can't come at the cost of harming you, and you must fulfill your promise."
After a pause, Xiao Yan continued, "The deceased you made a deal with must have been a businessman in his lifetime, so your fortune has improved. Oh, and those fish you caught must have either been expert anglers in their lifetime, or they were catching fish for you while you were fishing, which is why you are so lucky."
Middle-aged man: "..."
In fact, he didn't really want to catch any fish. After all, when you are fishing on the shore, the feeling of there being a ghost under the water trying to hook you with the fish is creepy no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Yan took a sip of water. "The guy you made a deal with was quite conscientious. He worked hard to make your life better and gave you a few years. Who knew you wouldn't fulfill the deal? If that were you, wouldn't you be angry?"
If you put yourself in the middle-aged man's shoes, of course he would be angry, but he also felt that he was wronged.
"Who would take dreams seriously? And why didn't that brother warn me?"
"I do want to remind you, but if it were you, having gone years without a full meal, would you still have the strength? The reason you're so unlucky isn't revenge, but the laws of nature. They're punishing you for not fulfilling your end of the bargain, calculating the benefits you received as punishment!"
"This shows that their gratitude to you is so great that it could cost you your life. If you don't fulfill your end of the bargain, you can go through the discharge procedures now and contact the crematorium directly!"
Middle-aged man: "..."
The middle-aged man thought that what he encountered was a punishment from his brother, but it turned out to be a punishment from the rules...
"Then what should I do now, Master? It's been so long, and I don't know how the police handled that brother's body. I also don't know where his home is. How can I find him?"
"Have someone buy you some paper money. Get the yellow kind with silver paint. Don't buy the paper money with a fixed amount from the Bank of Heaven and Earth. Find a good, reputable shop. Then, at midnight, prepare a table full of good food and wine. Serve a bowl of rice, stick your chopsticks in it, and then go to sleep. Apologize to it sincerely, express your repentance, and promise to help it find its family."
"These are all consolations, so that the rules can mitigate your punishment. As for its family, ask about its birth date and come back to me later."
"But I must remind you that it has already paid you. After this is over, your financial fortune and other aspects of your life will return to your original state. This is the punishment for your breach of contract."
"If you had fulfilled the contract from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. Everyone, whether in dreams or in real life, remember: never make promises lightly."
The middle-aged man expressed his gratitude repeatedly after hearing this.
Xiao Yan interrupted his thanks and said, "Don't be so quick to thank me. If you want to change your fortune, there are ways. As long as you continue to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future, your fortune will improve."
"I will continue to do good deeds. Thank you, Master. I will come to see you again tomorrow."
[Brother 钅呙: I knew that if the Master took action, there would definitely be a way!]
[Tipsy: That brother was also unlucky. I’m talking about the brother who died.]
[OUHGDF: Isn't that guy unlucky? I'm talking about the fishing guy. His thoughts are what a normal person would think, right? Who would take dreams seriously?]
[Luo: I’ve always thought ghosts were scary, but when I think about how ghosts have to work so hard for people, even hiding under the surface to help people catch fish while they’re fishing, I just want to laugh.]
[Yizima: Yeah, I always thought ghosts were omnipotent, like being able to walk through walls, turn stones into gold, and so on. They were omnipotent, but this is the end?]
"You can't turn stone into gold!" Xiao Yan said, "I just said that nothing in this world can be created out of thin air, and nothing is free. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'The gifts given by fate are secretly marked with a price?'"
"The dead are also transformed from the living. What makes you think that you can do things after death that you couldn't do in life? Wake up, people just die, they don't become immortals. Even immortals need to go through cultivation, let alone the dead?"
"So if a dead person promises you wealth, it's because they're working for you, transferring their earnings to your fortune in proportion. If a dead person promises you wisdom, it's because they're diligently studying, transferring their wisdom to you. It's not created out of thin air."
"Don't think that making deals with the dead is a good thing. The dead have no moral constraints. If a bad dead person uses circumvention to circumvent your key, you can only accept it, because this is a deal between you, a contract between you. Whether it is recognized by heaven and earth, it is just a matter of whether the binding force is strong or not."
"In short, it's best for the living not to interact with the dead. The negative energy they generate can have irreversible effects on the living."
[Parrot: The host thinks too highly of me! I'd love to trade with them, but there's no way I can do it! Not to mention I'm afraid of ghosts.]
[Sister, I'm a prophet: I can't even beat a living person, let alone a dead one?]
[Cola Chicken Wings: Anyway, I find both the living and the dead quite terrifying. Isn't there a saying? It goes, "What's scarier than ghosts and gods is the human heart." Ghosts were also transformed from living people, and they were once human, so they're just as terrifying.]
[Woof woof woof: Before today, I was pretty scared, but now I think about it. If I really encounter something unclean, the worst that can happen is we can fight it after we die. We're all ghosts anyway!]
[Brother Lu: Wake up! Why do you think you can defeat someone after death just because you couldn't in life? Wake up, you're just dead, you didn't ascend to become gods!]
