Chapter 42: Murder for Money
I secretly moved the chair so that if the Cloud Dream Dao Master had a seizure, then I could quickly stick the talisman paper in my hand to him.
After secretly getting ready, I exhaled, pretending to be very calm and said to Yunmeng Dao Chang: "Yun Meng Dao Chief, I know that I am a long-lived hundred-year-old person, but unfortunately, you are dead. ”
Yun Mengdao took a long look and asked me in surprise, "Ling Sen, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”
I said coldly: "Daoist Yunmeng, you yourself said just now that there is a kind of person who doesn't know when he dies, and only when he meets a psychic person will he communicate with the living." And I'm the one who can channel, and you're ......."
Daoist Yunmeng's face changed suddenly, and he said with a calm face: "Ling Sen, don't make this kind of joke. ”
I asked him rhetorically: "Daoist Yunmeng, yesterday I was in Zhushan Temple, why didn't I see you during the day, but you came to meet me at night?" Where are you during the day? ”
He thought for a while, then said with a helpless expression: "Daytime? I don't know. It may be that Lao Dao's body is not good, and he has been groggy for the past few days and wants to sleep, and only at night will he feel a hundred times more energetic. ”
I said in a cold voice, "Daoist Yunmeng, you should sober up." In fact, when it comes to this, you should also know that you are dead, but you are greedy for the red dust of this world and refuse to admit this fact. ”
His face turned white at once, as if he had fallen into painful thought. I hit the railroad while it was hot: "Think about it again, why are you sitting in front of me now?" When I passed by Zhushan Temple this evening, I did meet your apprentice Wuxin Daoist and his girlfriend Xiaomei, but I didn't see you at all. ”
Yun Mengdao muttered, "This is impossible, this is impossible!" Obviously, you let me get in the car, saying that you have something to ask me! ”
I looked at him and said mockingly, "Daoist Yunmeng, I really have something I want to ask you. But I didn't see you at all. Your apprentice Wuxin Daoist also said that you are dead, and he is the only one in this Taoist temple. ”
"You suddenly appeared to see me last night, and with what your apprentice said, I also suspected that you might be dead, so I tried to use the ghost charm in front of the Zhushan Guanmen, but I didn't expect you to really follow my car."
Daoist Yunmeng suddenly said, "Ling Sen, don't say it. If I did die, it would probably have been the death of this little beast without intention. However, based on what you say, I don't believe I'm really dead. No, I'm going to ask this little brute for an answer. ”
I said coldly, "Daoist Yunmeng, does it make sense for you to do this?" Your apprentice can't see you at all, how can you ask him? If you don't believe you're really a ghost, then I can prove it to you. ”
I dipped my fingers in the tea again, drew a 'swastika' symbol on the table, stared at his face and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, didn't you fall just now?" I tell you clearly, it wasn't some mosquito that bit you, but I secretly drew this talisman to confirm whether you were a ghost or not. If you still don't believe me, why don't you touch it again? ”
Yun Mengdao's long face was like ashes, and he stretched out a right hand, trembling and reaching out to the symbol. But his fingers were about to touch the symbol, but he didn't dare to press it.
His fingers trembled in the air for a while, and then he suddenly retracted his hand, sighed, looked gloomy, and said no more.
Seeing his demeanor, my heart immediately brightened. He must have believed my word and knew the truth that he was dead. What made me even more reassuring was that he knew that he was a ghost, and he didn't get hysterical as I feared.
I looked at him quietly for a while, and then said slowly, "Daoist Yunmeng, didn't you say that your apprentice has always been very filial to you?" Why did you scold him for being a little brute just now? Does your death have anything to do with your apprentice? ”
The reason why I asked him this was because the strange words and deeds of the Wuxin Taoist aroused my suspicions. Why did when I mentioned his master in front of Wuxin Dao Leader, his expression changed suddenly and he was hesitant? Could it be that the unintentional Daoist murdered the Yunmeng Daoist?
Daoist Yunmeng lowered his head and said silently for a while: "Alas, when things come to this point, I won't hide it from you anymore." Ling Sen, I raised Wuxin since I was a child, and he is indeed quite filial to me. It was only a month ago, for some unknown reason, that his behavior suddenly became weird. ”
I interrupted him and reminded him, "Daoist Yunmeng, a month ago, it should have been when your apprentice Daoist Wuxin met his current girlfriend Xiaomei, right?" ”
It can really be said that he woke up the person in his dream with a word, and the head of Yunmeng Dao showed a look of surprise, and only said after a while: "Ling Sen, you are too smart. I also understand that it should be this little animal who has vivid evil desires and has a girlfriend, so that he will seem to be a different person in front of me. ”
I smiled and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, your apprentice is just in his youth, his Dao heart has not yet been completed, and it is reasonable to covet the joy of red dust. You're dead, and it's normal for your apprentice to want to be vulgar, so why do you keep cursing him? ”
Daoist Yunmeng suddenly gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Just now you reminded me that I was already dead, and I began to wonder if this little beast had harmed me. Ling Sen, think about it, he has always been by my side, can I not understand him? ”
"Zhushan Guan is not very good at incense, and I have a little savings, which are also kept by me. As you just said, in the car you heard these two dog men and women talking about buying a house and getting married, so, I want to ask you, where does the money come from for the house he wants to buy? ”
Daoist Yunmeng has finally taken the bait, and it seems that I am not far from knowing the truth. In order to further understand the inside story, I pretended to be disdainful and said, "What's so difficult to understand about this? Isn't he your only apprentice? After you die, the incense money you keep will naturally belong to him, and won't buying a house and getting married be guaranteed? ”
Yun Meng Dao Chang said indignantly: "Ling Sen, I won't tell you, my little incense money from Xiaoguan can only ensure that our master and apprentice don't go hungry, how can I get so much money to afford a house?" ”
I pretended to be surprised and said, "If you really don't have much money for incense, where will the money come from for him to get married and buy a house?" Could it be that he won the lottery? ”
Yunmengdao took a sip and said: "You have been to my Zhushan Temple, dozens of miles along the way, have you seen a point selling lottery tickets?" Ling Sen, why didn't you think of it this time? Have you forgotten that there is a night pearl handed down by the ancestor in my temple. ”
Although I had already guessed this possibility, and I had consciously induced the Cloud Dream Dao Elder to think in this direction, when the Cloud Dream Dao Leader personally said this Night Pearl, I couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Could it really be because the Wuxin Daoist is in urgent need of money, and he wants to get married because he killed the Yunmeng Daoist?
