Chapter 45: Searching for the Body

I looked at the corpse lying on the bamboo bed in front of me in a daze, and the flashlight that stayed on his face clearly told me that he was the dead Yunmeng Dao Master.

Where did the blue light come from when I lifted the bamboo bed just now? I borrowed a flashlight to take a look at the surroundings of his corpse, but I didn't find anything like a night pearl.

I didn't turn over the body, because I was afraid that if the police found out and left traces of me at the scene where the body was hidden, I wouldn't be able to tell if I jumped into the Yellow River.

There is another reason why I didn't dig through the corpse, and that is that if the Night Pearl was covered by his corpse, it wouldn't emit light for me to see. The only explanation is that this blue light is emitted from the corpse, which is a precursor to the imminent corpse transformation.

I need to get out of this horrible place, that's the only thought in my head right now. However, despite the terrible face, I still did not lose my sense of proportion.

Before I leave here, I should clean up the scene and leave no clues! Just as I was about to put the bamboo bed back on it, the strange shape of the corpse of the Cloud Dream Dao Leader caused a puzzle in my heart.

After death, when the spirit is stopped, the body is usually taken care of by the mortuary. In order to prevent the deceased's feet from falling apart, the ankles of the other feet are tied with thin threads, and the hands of the deceased are neatly resting on the sides of the corpse.

I finally understood the doubt in my heart, that is, the corpse of the Yunmeng Dao Chief, actually with his hands on his chest. This is so unconscionable!

Upon closer inspection, I realized that on his chest, his hands were pressed against a thread-bound book about the same color as his gray robe. The book looked quaint and old, and the color was close to his gray sermon robe, so it was no wonder that I didn't notice it when I began to panic.

Why is there such a book on the corpse? I was very curious, and I thought of the 'Xuanmu Heart Sutra' found in my old Ling shop, and my heart moved: Could this book also be a Taoist spell?

I carefully broke the hands of Daoist Yunmeng and took the book out of his hand. When I touched his hand, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

It stands to reason that Daoist Yunmeng has also been dead for a while, and the corpse should be ossified if it is not rotten. However, the corpse in front of me was neither decomposing nor stenching, and what was even more incredible was that his hands did not seem to be completely cold, and his joints were not as stiff as I had imagined.

Although I have doubts in my heart, I don't have time to think about it in this environment. I felt my own hands tremble a little, and I could even hear my own heartbeat.

There was not a word on the paper, and I was very strange in my heart, and I opened it casually, but I saw that it was full of fly-headed letters. Strange, how does this book look like this?

The lines of small letters without punctuation marks made me suddenly realize. This is really an ancient book, and it is not the same way we read books now.

I quickly turned the book over, and sure enough, on the other gray cover of the book, there were three big words written on it: 'Out of the Body Table'.

The corpse is the corpse that is complicated. In this strange and terrifying atmosphere, I almost forgot where I was when I saw those three words, and I almost laughed out loud.

It's just nonsense, I only read Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table" of the Three Kingdoms, which has been passed down through the ages, but I didn't expect that there would be a "Corpse Table" on the corpse of a Taoist priest.

I wanted to put the costume book back on the corpse, but after thinking about it, I retracted my hand and put the costume book in my bag.

Since this book has a corpse in the title, will it record some unheard of strange things, or even how to deal with some ghosts?

This is highly probable, because the book is from a Taoist temple. If it is really a record of this, then it may be able to find a way to deal with the seven evils of yin and yang for me.

Even if the police found the body of Daoist Yunmeng, they would not have known that there was originally a book like this on the corpse. Since I'm here, if I return empty-handed, then this trip will be in vain.

After tidying up the furnishings in the room, I picked up the cigarette butts that had fallen on the floor and put them in my pocket. As soon as I jumped out of the window and reinstalled the wooden window, a dark shadow suddenly appeared next to me under the moonlight, which immediately made me feel creepy.

What the! Is there anyone else in this temple? Why did he sneak out of here and appear behind me quietly?

If it's really someone who wants to plot against me, then why doesn't he take advantage of me to do it? Isn't he human? But if he is a ghost, why is there a shadow in the moonlight?

Just when I was frightened and didn't know what to do, the shadow behind me suddenly spoke. The black shadow said gloomily, "Ling Sen, don't look back. Are you wondering why ghosts have shadows? ”

When I took the test, I actually admitted that I was a ghost, and this ghost seemed to have guessed my mind, which was so shocking! Fortunately, as soon as he spoke, I heard his voice, it was the voice of the Yunmeng Dao Chief!

I licked my dry lips and asked tremblingly, "You...... Are you the head of Yunmeng Dao? Why did you trick me into coming here? ”

The black shadow sighed and said, "Ling Sen, it's the poor way. Thank you for letting Lao Dao know that he is dead, don't worry, you are my benefactor, I will not harm you. ”

This sentence calmed my frightened heart a little. Daoist Yunmeng sighed again and said slowly, "You understand now, why do I have a shadow, right?" That's because my ghost followed you back to Zhushan Temple, and found my body by your hand, and now the ghouls are one. ”

I let out an 'ah' exclamation and asked tremblingly, "Daoist Yunmeng, why are you using me?" Didn't you say you had a relationship with my grandfather? ”

Daoist Yunmeng unexpectedly snorted, and said disdainfully: "I will have a relationship with your grandfather?" Phew! As far as his Taoism is concerned, I can't even look down on it. ”

"Ling Sen, a monk shouldn't have lied, but now that I'm dead, I'm not a human, I'm just a ghost, so I can't be considered a monk. That's right, I lied to you, the purpose is to use you to find my corpse, so that I can attach my body and seek revenge on that little beast. ”

When I heard this, the anger in my heart suddenly overcame fear, and I suddenly turned my head and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, you are too despicable!" You take revenge, and the police in the world can't control you, so naturally they don't care. But I'm in big trouble, if the police find me and I'm suspected of murder, what should I do? ”

Daoist Yunmeng scratched his head, obviously he didn't expect this either. But after a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, Ling Sen, you helped me." I also promise you that I won't kill this little beast today. As long as it is past today, his death will not cause you trouble. ”
