Chapter 40: Grimace Outside the Window

Witnessing Wuxin Daochang and his girlfriend Xiaomei entering a small hotel, I was just about to start the car, when suddenly a person's face was reflected in the window glass.

Taken aback, I grabbed the bag in the passenger seat and tried to find the rune paper that had been prepared, but it was too late, and there was a thump on the window.

It was none other than the head of Yunmeng Dao outside the car. Although I planned to return to Zhushan Guanzhong and ask Daoist Yunmeng about the truth, I never expected that he would appear in the county seat.

I have already decided that Yunmeng Dao Elder is dead, and I don't know if he suddenly appeared to look for me, whether it will be a curse or a blessing for me. Originally, I wanted to get a rune paper to calm him, but when I thought of the fact that Daoist Yunmeng told me about the Yin and Yang Seven Evil Coffins yesterday, I expected that his skills far surpassed my grandfather and Immortal Mother-in-law, but I was afraid that my rune paper was just a pediatric in his opinion, and he couldn't deal with him at all.

If I act rashly, I am afraid that I will anger his ghost and take my life immediately. What's more, I still want to get a way to save Shi Mengya from him, and it's not time to offend him yet.

I hesitated for a moment, and when I saw his look on the window, anxiety mixed with some anger, but I didn't seem to have any ill will towards me, and after thinking about it again, I retracted my hand and shook the window glass down.

I calmed down and asked him, "Daoist Yunmeng, why are you here?" Is there anything you want me to do? ”

Daoist Yunmeng glanced at the small inn and said in a low voice, "Ling Sen, you come down, let's take a step to talk." ”

I hesitated slightly, and I was afraid that he would see what I was thinking, so I had to get out of the car. Daoist Yunmeng grabbed my hand and said softly, "Ling Sen, do you see a house at the mouth of the alley over there?" Let's go inside and sit down, and I have something to ask you. ”

His hands were cold, how could this be if he wasn't a ghost? It's just that he said that he had something to tell me, and he didn't mean to hurt me, so I nodded and agreed to his request.

The small hotel is located in the suburbs of the city, and there are no street lights on the surrounding roads except for the lights on at the entrance of the hotel. Following the direction of his finger, I saw a dimly lit room at the mouth of the alley.

When I followed him into the room, I was surprised to find that there were two candles lit in the room, but no one was there. Daoist Yunmeng beckoned me to sit down and said, "Master Ling, the old Dao has something to ask for, and I hope that Master Ling will tell me the truth." ”

I nodded calmly, and Daoist Yunmeng asked, "Master Ling, who is the delicate woman who followed my apprentice into the hotel just now?" ”

I asked in surprise, "Daoist Yunmeng, he is your apprentice's girlfriend, and he seems to be called Xiaomei. Have you never seen her before? ”

A look of anger appeared on Daoist Yunmeng's face, and he was silent for a while and said hatefully: "Our master and apprentice are all people, how dare this kid hide from me that he is greedy for women?" ”

My heart moved, and I thought that this Yunmeng Dao Master might really be a person who had devoted himself to cultivating, so he hated his disciple for doing something that violated the monastic precepts.

Did he really not know about it? Could it be that he doesn't even know that he is dead, and still thinks that he is alive in the world?

I decided to test him, and thought for a while: "Daoist Yunmeng, your apprentice is going to get married next month, how can you, the master, know it?" ”

He said angrily: "It's really hateful that this kid has such a ridiculous idea. Master Ling, how did you know this, could it be that they told you in the car? ”

I nodded, and further stimulated him with words: "Daoist Yunmeng, I heard them say in the car, they went back to the county town to discuss buying a house and getting married. ”

Daoist Yunmeng's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Ling Sen, are you sure you heard it right?" Even if he has no intention of returning the vulgar, the money he got went to the city to buy a house? Master Ling, you don't know yet, right? He had been an orphan since he was a child, and if I hadn't taken him in, he would have starved to death. He still wants to buy a house and get married, isn't he a fool's dream? ”

I sneered and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, since you have talked about this, then I would like to ask you." You said that Wuxin Daoist was an orphan, was that more than ten years ago, he you took him in in Shijia Village? ”

Wuxin Dao Elder asked in surprise, "Master Ling, how did you know about this?" ”

I sneered and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, I really didn't expect that you, a monk, would also lie. When I asked you about Shi Bin yesterday, why didn't you tell me the truth? ”

"Shi Bin?" Daoist Yunmeng scratched his head and looked at me with a confused expression. He muttered to himself: "Shi Bin's name is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere." Hey, by the way, Ling Sen, is that Shi Bin someone on the list of immortal mothers you showed me yesterday? ”

It's strange, looking at the way he looks, it really doesn't look like he's lying. Could it be that my judgment was wrong, when Daoist Yunmeng took in Shi Bin, he really didn't know his name?

When I was looking at him, he suddenly patted his head and said with an anxious expression: "It's not good, it can't be that this little one unintentionally moved evil thoughts, stole my treasure and secretly sold it, so that he will have the money to buy a house and get married?" ”

My heart moved, and I decided not to investigate whether he knew the real name of Wuxin Daoist for the time being, because the word 'baby' because the word 'baby' aroused my curiosity.

I asked him curiously, "Daoist Yunmeng, what treasure in your Zhushan View is so valuable that he can buy a house?" ”

Daoist Yunmeng suddenly covered his mouth, as if he regretted that he had leaked the secret. I teased him and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, your words have already come out, although you didn't say anything treasured, but for me, even if I already know your secret." If you believe me and tell me the truth, I'll tell you something that will surprise you. ”

He pondered for a while, looked around, and then covered his mouth and whispered: "Ling Sen, I won't tell you, I really have a treasure in this Zhushan view." If you sell this treasure, the money you get is not only to buy a house in the county seat, but also to buy a house in the provincial capital, which is more than enough. ”

He told me that the ancestors of Zhushan Temple have passed down a pearl of the night of Zhenguan. This night pearl is not only an ordinary jewel, but what is even more rare is that because it has been passed through the hands of generations of ancestors, it has long contained powerful spiritual power, which can drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and even bring the dying back to life.

My heart moved, if what Daoist Yunmeng said was true, then wouldn't I be able to save Shi Mengya if I got this Night Pearl?

Since this night pearl can drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits, then Yunmeng Dao Chang is a ghost himself, why is he not afraid of that night pearl? Could it be that this dead ghost is fooling me? But what purpose did he do so?
