Just as the yellow weasel was lost in thought.
As if seeing the yellow weasel’s lack of response, Bai Du’s synthesized voice came again.
“You’re out of money, aren’t you? If you’re out of money, just tell me. Although you and I are different species, we are all of yellow skin and live in the territory of Great Xia. We are family.”
“You need money everywhere you go now.”
“You can’t go anywhere without money.”
“How about this, I’ll lend you my phone first, you can start a Waterdrop Fundraising, and then when you have money, you can buy my phone.”
“Oh, by the way, do you know Waterdrop Fundraising? It’s a crowdfunding platform.”
[Ding! The yellow weasel snaps back to attention, (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Waterdrop Fundraising your mother! I’m here to demand a seal, not to beg for food!]

At this moment.
If one were to approach the yellow weasel, they would see its weasel face, hidden outside the streetlight, its mouth twitching, and its weasel hands clenched into fists.
But Zhang Wei acted as if he hadn’t seen it.
He continued typing into Baidu Translate, emitting a synthesized voice.
“Alas, I’m actually poor too. I once thought of pretending to be a dog lover and extorting a lot of money from dog lovers on Waterdrop Fundraising.”
“It’s just that my damned kindness prevents me from doing such evil deeds.”
“You and I are both broke.”
“And meeting is fate. I’ll also donate to your Waterdrop Fundraising. I got 10 yuan in a red envelope on WeChat today. I’ll add you on WeChat later and send you a 1 yuan red envelope.”
“Of course, you don’t need to thank me. This is what I should do. If you want to thank me, just remember to like my posts on Moments in the future, haha~”
As the synthesized voice of Bai Du uttered ‘haha’ twice…
A system prompt sounded in Zhang Wei’s mind.
[Ding! The yellow weasel is furious and trembling.]
[Host gains System Points +3]
Whether it was Zhang Wei’s words that made the yellow weasel lose its mood for demanding a seal,
Or if it was so angered by Zhang Wei that it lost the desire for revenge.
The yellow weasel gritted its teeth and glanced at Zhang Wei.
The next moment.
A hoarse voice, like a human’s, sounded.
But this time, it was not the same as before.
It was only two words.
“Bad luck!”
With that, the yellow weasel turned and disappeared into the grass.
[Ding! The yellow weasel, angered, flicks its human-like little hand and runs away with a flick of its sleeve. I won’t demand a seal today! Bad luck!]
[Host gains System Points +5]
It was angered to death by Zhang Wei.
To be honest.
Given the yellow weasel’s personality, if it failed to get a seal, it would definitely seek revenge. But it decided not to, because it genuinely feared that after revenge, this ‘mute young man’ would go to Waterdrop Fundraising and harm others. The thought made it feel deeply sinful, so what was the point of revenge?
A moment later.
The grass in the distance returned to its calm.
“The yellow weasel is gone,” Zhang Chao said after sensing it.
As he spoke.
He looked at Zhang Wei and grinned, giving him a thumbs-up.
“Amazing, Zhang Wei. So that’s how you deal with a yellow weasel demanding a seal. I’ve learned something, I’ve learned something.”
Wunian, standing beside them, clasped his hands together.
“Amitabha, sin, sin.”
However, from the way he occasionally glanced at Zhang Wei, it was clear that Wunian was not calm either, his perception of Zhang Wei refreshed.
Neither of them intended to chase after the yellow weasel.
Firstly, they could tell that there was no bloody scent on the yellow weasel, indicating that it had never harmed anyone.
Secondly, this was the Northeast.
And among the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast, there was the Huang Family.
The Huang Family represented the yellow weasel.
Killing a yellow weasel in the Northeast was like disturbing the Grand Duke of Jupiter, courting death. Besides, the yellow weasel hadn’t attacked them, so there was no reason to capture it.
They also had no intention of accepting the yellow weasel’s demand for a seal.
Compared to ordinary people.
They understood the yellow weasel’s demand for a seal better.
They knew that a yellow weasel’s demand for a seal was to carry the destiny of all spirits.
If the yellow weasel could achieve immortality through this, it would be a good thing for them.
However, they did not dare to try it lightly.
After all.
No one knew the background of this yellow weasel. If it had accumulated a lot of karma and retribution, and they couldn’t bear the destiny of all spirits, it would only harm both parties.
At the same time.
Continuing on the road to the construction site.
“Brother Wunian, why didn’t you help the yellow weasel accept the seal just now?”
After a few words with Zhang Chao, Zhang Wei chuckled.
Wunian clasped his hands together and replied leisurely.
“Everything in the world has its cause and effect. I have karma in myself. If I were to grant the yellow weasel a seal, and it carried the destiny of all spirits, it would also be connected with me by karma.”
“And if it shares karma with me, it will also be burdened by my karma, which is not beneficial to it.”
Hmm?
His words echoed leisurely on the small road at night.
Zhang Wei couldn’t help but look at Wunian, frowning.
“Wunian, are you facing a great tribulation?”
Although Wunian’s words were profound, he understood their meaning.
It meant that Wunian was currently enduring a period of karma, a karma that was not good for him. To put it simply, he was likely facing a great tribulation. If he were to accept the yellow weasel’s seal, the yellow weasel would essentially form a karmic bond with him.
Therefore, if it shared a karmic bond with Wunian, it might also be dragged into Wunian’s great tribulation.
“Amitabha.”
Wunian clasped his hands together and nodded.
“My grand-uncle, Master Wuliao, returned to the embrace of Buddha five years ago. Before he left, he divined for me once.”
“He once said that I would encounter a great tribulation in the near future.”
Zhang Wei’s eyes flickered, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked.
“Is your great tribulation a death tribulation?”
Since ancient times, Buddhism has spoken of tribulations.
Among them is the concept of ‘great tribulation.’
For the world, a ‘great tribulation’ is a great disaster, a disaster that will involve thousands or tens of thousands of lives.
And for an individual, a ‘great tribulation’ is a tribulation that will affect their entire life. Such a tribulation that can influence the future direction is called a great tribulation.
This kind of great tribulation is divided into two types.
One is good, and the other is bad.
Simply put.
A good great tribulation can lead to boundless prospects and a bright future.
Conversely.
A bad great tribulation, at best, can cause a person to be disabled for life, paralyzed, and at worst, lose their life. This is also called a ‘death tribulation’!
Wunian did not hide anything, as there was nothing to hide.
He nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei frowned. “No wonder you didn’t accept the yellow weasel’s seal.”
Wunian had a death tribulation upon him. If he accepted the yellow weasel’s seal, it meant that the yellow weasel would also be implicated in his death tribulation. Wunian, being compassionate, naturally did not want to do such a wicked deed.
Thinking of this.
Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, then grinned.
“If there’s anything I can help you with, you can tell me.”
“Of course, if it’s too much, then forget it, haha, I’m afraid of death.”
Although he had only known Wunian for a day, after talking all the way, Zhang Wei found Wunian quite agreeable.
Moreover.
Wunian was kind-hearted. It would be a pity for such a good person to die. Since he knew about this, if he ignored it, his conscience would not be at ease. However, he did not intend to go through fire and water, as he was not a great philanthropist, and he and Wunian had only met once.
Wunian naturally understood Zhang Wei’s meaning.
He smiled and nodded in thanks.
Then.
He clasped his hands together and said.
“Thank you, Benefactor Zhang Wei. Don’t worry, my grand-uncle told me that my death tribulation is not a certain death, but there is a sliver of hope.”
“He told me.”
“If I want to resolve the great tribulation, I must descend Mount Wutai, enter this mortal world, and seek the缘分 (yuanfen - fate/destiny) that breaks the tribulation.”
“If my fate is not to perish, I will find that缘分.”
“Therefore, three years ago, after cultivating the Golden Body of Buddhism, I was ordered by my master to descend the mountain and join the Guarding Department to subdue demons and eliminate monsters in the mortal world, in the hope of finding that缘分 to break the tribulation.”
