Chapter 90 My dear, you can use me to block
Shi Chan asked, "When did fate begin, and where did resentment originate?" and prayed, "How can karma be resolved?" However, the fortune stick he got only showed the word "death."
What does this mean?
It means that it doesn't matter where the fate or resentment comes from, the cause and effect cannot be resolved. The ghost cultivator in the black Taoist robe is unwilling to let Shi Tianjiao go no matter what. Shi Tianjiao has no choice but to die.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Is there no way?"
"Yes, as a wimp."
Shi Chan put away the spirit note and said the most pathetic idea in a casual tone.
"She should continue to live in the temple, and ideally become a nun. As long as the temple remains popular and the monks don't take wicked paths, she will be able to live and die peacefully."
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
At this time, the volunteers and masters were removing the offerings from in front of the Buddha. When they passed by Lin Zhuyue and Shican, they put their palms together and chanted "Amitabha", and gave Lin Zhuyue and Shican two peaches.
These peaches were brought by a pilgrim who was on a business trip to Wuxi. They were already soft and at their juiciest and sweetest.
Lin Zhuyue took the peach and thanked him, but she was not in the mood to eat it.
Shi Can didn't eat the peach either. He had driven here all night and was already sleepy. Now he encountered such a troublesome situation and had a terrible headache.
After returning to the car, folding down the seat and lying down for a while, he decided to ask for help.
Shi Can called Tu Shan Yun Lin and said:
"Hey, old fox, I've got a problem..."
"What? The signal is bad, I can't hear clearly..."
Tushan Yunlin's voice came out from the microphone, with a very awkward and silly tone.
"Oh, what's going on? My phone might be broken. Master Shi, I need to find someone to fix it. I'll call you back once it's fixed..."
Shi Can threatened calmly and indifferently:
"If you dare hang up, I'll report you for tax evasion. Based on the annual turnover of your Yunlin Guesthouse, you'll be fined NT$80 million."
“Huh—”
There was a sound of someone gasping for breath and choking on air from the other end of the phone.
Tushan Yunlin said in panic:
"Oh, no, no, no, we can talk it over, we can talk it over..."
Money makes the world go round. Eighty million can defeat a thousand-year-old fox.
Lin Zhuyue couldn't help but sigh that Shi Can was really a miracle doctor. He cured Tushan Yunlin's cell phone with just a few words from a distance of tens of thousands of miles.
Shi Can informed Tu Shan Yunlin of the current situation. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then said:
"Although ghosts can haunt people for no reason, logically speaking, if the person has never offended or provoked the ghost, that is, if there is no cause and effect, it is difficult for the ghost to directly take the person's life."
"Master Shi, you still don't have much experience."
Tushan Yunlin sighed and said,
"Karma is a complex and elusive concept, sometimes visible and sometimes not. It might be a part of the past, but it could also overlap with fate. The appearance of this ghost cultivator here might be the calamity destined for that young nurse, or it might be the calamity for you and the little girl from the Ling family."
"Look, although the ghost is haunting the young nurse, it is you and the young lady from the Ling family who are facing this difficult problem and are in direct conflict with the ghost cultivator."
Shi Can was silent for a long time.
Lin Zhuyue asked tentatively:
"Then how do we resolve this cause and effect?"
"Hey, little girl, cause and effect are very complicated. Sometimes they can be resolved, and sometimes they can't."
Tushan Yunlin said to Lin Zhuyue,
"Not everything in this world has a solution. There are many things that have no solution. If you ask me, this matter is so absurd that I should just not seek a solution."
"If you don't know how to resolve cause and effect, then treat it as if there is no cause and effect. Don't bother with reasoning; resolve this matter with the most forceful means possible. You possess the qualifications to do so."
To put it bluntly, Tushan Yunlin’s opinion is “go for it, beat him to death.”
Shi Chan almost cursed and asked:
"Do you know how dangerous it is to fight a ghost cultivator? Who knows what level that ghost cultivator is? What if it's a ghost cultivator of Minghui's level?"
"When you encounter a ghost cultivator of Minghui's level, are you completely helpless and ready to fight back?"
Tushan Yunlin's tone was full of ridicule, but also unintentional contempt. He said,
"You're such a coward, yet you still want to become the strongest spiritual master?"
Shi Can: “…”
Tushan Yunlin did not change his fox nature and said:
"Remember to bring me two roast chickens when you come back."
"If you're still alive, I'll give you four."
Shi Can really wanted to open the video and give Tu Shan Yun Lin a middle finger.
"Hang up, don't waste my phone bill."
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can got out of the car and went to look for Shi Tianjiao.
Shi Tianjiao looked at them eagerly. She no longer had much hope that the problem would be resolved, but she instinctively hoped that the suffering she had suffered would be ended.
Lin Zhuyue handed her the peach and asked:
"Where was it when you first dreamed of the woods?"
Shi Tianjiao took the peach but didn't eat it. She lowered her head and searched for the answer to the question in her mind:
"It was in the ward. I was on night duty that day and fell asleep at the front desk."
Lin Zhuyue took out his phone, wrote the word "ward" on the memo, and continued to ask:
"And then, you dreamed about that forest quite often in the dormitory and in your rented house, right?"
Shi Tianjiao nodded.
Lin Zhuyue asked some more questions. Shi Tianjiao could answer some of them, but some she couldn't. Lin Zhuyue took notes as much as possible.
After asking all the questions he wanted to know, Lin Zhuyue made a request and said:
"Can you give us the keys to the dormitory and the rental house? We need to go over and take a look. You just stay in the temple and don't go anywhere. Just wait for news from us."
Shi Tianjiao was very cooperative with Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can's requests. She went to the room where she lived, found the key, and handed it to Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can.
After Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can took the keys, they drove away from the temple.
Lin Zhuyue turned on the speakerphone and called Gong Yongyuan.
"I've calculated the victim's horoscope, and it shows she's destined for death this year. Once this hurdle is over, her life will be smooth sailing. The next time she encounters a hurdle will be when she's 83. At that age, life or death won't be that important."
Gong Yongyuan changed the subject and said,
"But it's really not easy to successfully get through this year's difficulties."
Shi Chan asked, "What would happen if someone came to help?"
"With the help of a noble person, I may be able to overcome the disaster."
Gong Yongyuan sneered twice and said,
"But what kind of noble man are you? You are just a piece of shit, and a cheap one at that."
Gong Yongyuan hung up the phone before Shican could scold him.
Shi Can was so angry that he said coldly:
"When we get back to Tiancheng, I'm going to beat him into a sticky rice cake."
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can did not rush directly to the three main places where Shi Tianjiao experienced supernatural events. Instead, they first went to a four-star hotel and booked an executive suite.
Shi Tianjiao's current situation is safe.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can didn't need to rush their mission. Shi Can was exhausted after driving all night, and Lin Zhuyue hadn't slept well in the car. Both of them needed sleep to recover. Only after they were fully recovered could they confront the sinister-sounding ghost cultivator in the robe.
Lin Zhuyue slept until five in the afternoon. It was still daylight, but the blackout curtains in the suite made it pitch black. She turned on the bedside lamp, sat down on the edge of the bed, put on the disposable slippers provided by the hotel, and prepared to wash up.
Shican's bed was not far from hers.
Shi Chan was still asleep, wearing a black pajamas with two buttons undone and the collar open, revealing his collarbone and a small part of his chest. His skin was already very fair, and against the black fabric of the pajamas, it looked even whiter.
Lin Zhuyue looked at Shi Can's collarbone, which was able to hold the coin, pursed her lips, restrained her hands from doing anything wrong, and turned to wash up.
Shican woke up around seven o'clock.
China's territory is vast, and Meishui City is located on the western side of this territory. Darkness arrives a bit later than the Eastern Time Zone (Eastern Time) used by all regions of the country. At this time in Tiancheng, the sun is already setting, while in Meishui City, it's still light, and it will probably take another two hours for darkness to fall.
Shi Can washed his face and brushed his teeth in front of the mirror, and then used a comb to tidy up his messy hair before going to find Lin Zhuyue who was sitting at the dining table unpacking takeout.
Lin Zhuyue asked, "Pork tripe and chicken rice noodles, or pickled fish rice noodles, which one would you like?"
"Chicken with pig stomach."
Shi Can took the takeaway box and said,
"After ten o'clock, we'll go directly to the hospital where Shi Tianjiao works. The dormitory is right next to the hospital, and the rental house isn't too far away. We should be able to visit both tonight."
The prerequisite for dealing with ghosts is to find the ghosts, so the two of them have to find a way to find the trace of this Taoist ghost.
The hospital might be where the Taoist ghost often moves around, while the dormitory and the rental house are where Shi Tianjiao, who was harmed by him, often stays. If he hasn't given up on Shi Tianjiao, he will definitely linger around from time to time.
Lin Zhuyue’s phone screen lit up.
She unlocked the screen, took a look at it, and then pressed the power button to turn off the screen.
But Shi Can was sharp-eyed and asked:
"Who's in the photo?"
"It seems to be the child of a shareholder of my family's company."
Lin Zhuyue put the phone screen on the table and said,
"My grandma sent it to me, asking if the boy was handsome. She also said that the boy was studying English at Yuanda University, the same school as me, and we could look after each other when school started."
Lin Zhuyue was a bit slow to react emotionally, but she was very sensitive to family members who weren't getting along well. She could easily sense what her grandmother was thinking, even from afar.
Shi Can supported his face with one hand and asked:
"Won't you think about it?"
"It's not like I'm actually studying at Yuanda."
Lin Zhuyue scooped the soup from the bowl gloomily.
"Besides, if I were in a situation like this and were dating an ordinary person, wouldn't that be harming them?"
Shi Chan suggested, “You can use me to block it.”
Lin Zhuyue was stunned for a moment.
"This situation will definitely happen again. If you're annoyed and want to completely stop your grandmother's matchmaking, then let her think you have a boyfriend. Monogamy is the embodiment of a civilized society. As long as your boyfriend can catch your grandmother's eye, she won't introduce you to anyone else."
Shi Can smiled, picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat from his palms as if nothing had happened, and said,
"My qualifications aren't bad, except that my resume says I attended Trinity College, which doesn't have the geographical advantage compared to Yuanda. But I can ask the Spiritual Master's Mansion to transfer you to Trinity College."
His conditions are certainly not bad.
The only son of the Shi family is a top student. His face is prettier than a vixen and he is nearly 1.9 meters tall. As a marriage partner, there is no flaw to be found.
