“Maiden Girl?”

Mrs. Liu and Mr. He looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other’s eyes: “What does this mean?”

Xun Yiqing said leisurely: “The so-called ‘Maiden Girl/Boy’ means the little children who live under the care of the immortal gods. They are born with spiritual roots and wisdom. If these ‘children’ make mistakes, they will be expelled from the immortal world, enter reincarnation, and walk through the human world. Your daughter is that ‘Maiden Girl’.”

In that case, the reason why Niuniu was born so smart has been found.

Xun Yiqing said: “The ‘Maiden Child’ still carries the wisdom of the previous life after they enter the human world, and they are born smarter than ordinary people. But after all, they made mistakes and were expelled. They came to the human world to suffer and be tempered, not to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world. So they are often weak and sick and suffer from many disasters.”

It was recorded in Taoist classics:

After the “Maiden Child” has been tempered in the first life of the human world, most of them will return to serve under the immortal gods.

They were born with spiritual roots, and their souls were much stronger than ordinary people. After reincarnation, they will have a mortal body. The power of their souls cannot integrate with their fragile bodies.

This leads to the repulsion between their spirit and body, so they become weaker and weaker, which was also the biggest reason why they were prone to premature death.

“So, Mrs. Liu, your daughter’s sudden serious illness is a catastrophe inherent in her soul, and has nothing to do with her body.”

Judging from her palmistry, Niuniu should have been healthy and safe in this life.

Although there were minor illnesses and disasters along the way, they were able to overcome dangers until the end of life.

It was because she was a “Maiden Girl” under a certain immortal god in her previous life, and her soul could not integrate into this body, so she ended up in such a situation.

Mrs. Liu and Mr. He probably understood a little bit, but they couldn’t believe it:

“Master Xun, you mean, no matter what, we… … can’t keep Niuniu?”

Xun Yiqing was silent for a moment and said: “Theoretically it’s very difficult.”

Mrs. Liu shook her head repeatedly, and her mood collapsed: “Why?! No one should die young after birth. This is unfair to our family!”

The sick Niuniu was at a loss as to what to do, but Mr. He put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and comforted her in a low voice: “Don’t say that in front of your daughter.”

[Ah, this… couple spent all their money to treat their child, but it seems their child is destined to die. No one can accept it. To put it bluntly, isn’t this just here to collect debts?]

[I have heard of the term ‘Exchanging Fate’, so this child’s fate can be exchanged, right? It seems that after replacing it, the child doesn’t have to die.]

[I used to think that my children were stupid, but now it seems that it’s fine to be a little stupid, as long as they are healthy…]

Seeing the comments in the live broadcast room, Host Liu asked: “Can’t this ‘Maiden Girl’s fate’ be changed? A viewer in the live broadcast room said it can be changed.”

“No.” Xun Yiqing frowned and said: “I know there is a so-called ‘Exchanging Fate’, but you must know that this is not allowed by law and is not an acceptable method.”

It was called ‘Exchanging Fate’, but it was the same as changing lives.

Find a child with similar horoscopes and about the same age, and use the metaphysic method to reverse the numerology and identities of the two people.

From then on, that ‘child’s life’ will be transferred to another child.

The other party will die in place of the original child – so to say, the other party will become the ‘Maiden Child and serve under the immortal gods.

The original child will become an ordinary person after losing his ‘Maiden Child’ identity, and his originally troubled life will return to normal, and he will no longer die randomly.

At the same time, the spiritual root and wisdom in their souls will disappear, and they will lose their talent and intelligence.

In Xun Yiqing’s view, death may not be a bad thing for the ‘Maiden Children’. As they do not belong to the human world.

But he can also understand the pain of Mrs. Liu and Mr. He.

He sighed and said with a trace of pity: “I’m sorry, I can’t do this kind of ‘Exchange Fate’ thing, and I advise you not to find another child to do this. First, ordinary people can’t do it, and secondly, you have to use another child. It’s not fair to the other child, and your whole family will be infected with evil.”

After thinking for a while, Xun Yiqing looked at the camera again and said to the audience in the live broadcast room:

“Viewers watching the live broadcast should not be obsessed with this. For example, ‘Exchanging Fate’, it’s not as simple as you think. People who have studied unorthodoxly cannot do this. There are not so many ‘Maiden Child’ in this world, but not all talented children are this so-called ‘Maiden Child’.”

Some children have good fortunes and talents but are often prone to illness, and will be misdiagnosed as “Maiden Child” by psychic folks.

Some had good horoscopes but were prone to diseases.

The more important point was when identifying the ‘Maiden Child’, people have to look at their wisdom and soul. To replace such a soul, the mystical master who can do it must have a certain level of practice.

Those that can be easily replaced were naturally not “Maiden Child”.

Whether this was true or not, it was not good to change other people’s lives at will.

Mrs. Liu looked dull and clutched her husband’s sleeves, unwilling to accept this fact.

She looked at her daughter, who carried for nine months and had devoted all her efforts to giving birth. How could she accept her daughter passing away?

But if she was asked to take someone else’s child as a substitute, she couldn’t do it.

The atmosphere in the ward was gloomy for a while.

Host Liu lowered his voice as he read the script: “Our Contestant No. #1, Xun Yiqing saw that Niuniu had a special identity. She turned out to be the legendary ‘Maiden Girl’, and she became seriously ill because of her special destiny.”

“Next, we invite Contestant No. #10, Xi Haihong, to come on stage and see if she can see anything new in Niuniu.”

Xi Haihong wore casual clothes and walked into the ward.

“Good afternoon, host, hello everyone.”

After getting a general understanding of Niuniu’s situation from Host Liu, he approached the hospital bed and looked at the sick little girl.

Originally, the audience in the live broadcast room had no hope for Niuniu. Unexpectedly, after looking at it for a while, Xi Haihong seemed to have seen something strange and made a ‘Huh? ’ sound.

Xi Haihong raised her head, “This little girl’s soul is golden.”

As an impermanent person, the underworld gave him the special ability to attract souls, so he could naturally see the soul inside a person’s body.

In Xi Haihong’s eyes, Niuniu’s soul exuded a faint golden light.

As everyone knows the souls of ordinary people were white, and those who do evil will turn into gray-black if they were infected with evil spirits. Gold was often hard to come by, and they needed to accumulate virtue and do good deeds during their lifetime to obtain some golden light of merit.

The souls of those who have done good deeds throughout their lives were golden.

It was just that the golden color of the power of merit was more pure and eye-catching, and the halo around Niuniu’s soul was lighter and different.

After looking at it for a long time, Xi Haihong suddenly raised his head, looking a little surprised.

He thought about where she had seen such a soul.

The underworld!

When he worked like a slave as an impermanent and sent those ghosts to the underworld for handover, he had seen such a yellow light on the body of a Yin Officer.

Xi Haihong remembered clearly that the Yin Officer looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pretty and immature face and a somewhat arrogant attitude.

Generally, when the soul returns to the underworld, it will retain its image after death, which means that the Yin Officer died when he was more than ten years old and then became a high-ranking Yin Official.

At that time, she was still very curious and thought he must be an outstanding person when he was still alive.
