I was determined to test with words whether Daoist Yunmeng was lying or if he was really not afraid of the night pearl. After a quick spin in my mind for a while, I deliberately showed a puzzled expression, and pretended to be puzzled and said to Yun Mengdao: "Yunmeng Daoist, you suspect that your apprentice may have stolen the ancestral heirloom treasure in your view, so you go back to the view and see if the treasure is still there, and everything will be understood?" ”

Yun Mengdao was stunned, and then sighed and said, "Ling Sen, you don't know anything. The treasures handed down by the ancestors are usually offered in a hidden place, and I dare not take them out easily, in case people with greed see it, it will be difficult to do. As the saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves who will be worried'. ”

I sneered and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, in this way, you haven't seen that night pearl for a long time?" ”

He nodded solemnly, and I said mockingly, "Maybe it's a good thing for you not to be able to see!" If you really see that night pearl, I'm afraid you can't stand it. ”

I meant that he was already a ghost, and if he really bumped into the night pearl to ward off evil spirits, I was afraid that he would be gone. But Daoist Yunmeng obviously didn't understand what I meant, and stared at me in surprise.

It's time for me to go straight in and make him understand that he's not alive anymore. But just in case, I'm worried that once I make a mistake in judgment, Daoist Yunmeng is indeed not dead, then I offend him, and don't expect him to guide me to the way to rescue Shi Mengya in the future.

Seeing that the two cups of tea on the table had not been touched, I suddenly had an idea and thought of a good way to test whether he was a human or a ghost.

Although he is a bit Taoist and knows a lot of Taoist spells and curses, even if he dies, maybe those Taoist methods of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits may not be useful to him, but he may not be able to understand some of the Buddhist techniques to ward off evil spirits, right?

When I thought of this, while he was anxious, I secretly dipped my finger in some tea and drew a Buddhist swastika on the table.

I pretended to think and put one hand on my chin. When Yun Mengdao's arm approached me, I leaned on his arm intentionally or unintentionally, dragging his arm towards the swastika that had not yet dried up.

As soon as Yun Mengdao's elbow touched the water trail, he suddenly jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted, and collapsed to the ground.

It seems that my judgment is really right, Yunmeng Dao Chang's reaction, except for being a ghost, how could ordinary people be like this?

I deliberately asked, "Daoist Yunmeng, what's wrong with you?" ”

Daoist Yunmeng turned over and got up from the ground, scratched his head, and said with a puzzled expression: "I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, maybe a mosquito bit me just now." ”

I had already secretly clenched a piece of talisman paper in my palm, and when I heard him answer like this, I sneered and said, "Daoist Yunmeng, I've never seen any mosquito so powerful. ”

He was obviously stunned, and I didn't wait for him to react, and immediately asked, "Daoist Yunmeng, I have a question I want to ask you. How did you come to follow me to the county seat? ”

Daoist Yunmeng said with a stunned expression: "Ling Sen, what do you mean by this?" Didn't you call me? ”

"What? When did I call you? I was so surprised that I asked him twice. But Daoist Yunmeng still insisted that I called him here, and when he saw my attitude, his expression was obviously a little angry.

Did I really call him here? How is this possible? Unless......? It suddenly occurred to me that since he was a ghost, could it be that when I returned to Zhushan Temple, I suspected that he was dead, and tried to learn to use the fairy mother-in-law's method of inviting ghosts to the body, so as to recruit him to the county seat?

Maybe that's really the case! I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Even if I asked you to come, then how did you come to the county seat and how did you find me?" ”

Daoist Yunmeng looked even more surprised, he looked at me suspiciously, frowned, and said, "Ling Sen, what the hell are you doing?" Didn't I come here in your car? ”

I'm fainting, is he really following me in the car? Then why did he ask me, what did his apprentice say unintentionally, didn't he should have heard it?

When I asked this question, Yun Mengdao sighed and said, "Alas, Ling Sen, I got into your car and was about to talk to you when I suddenly saw my apprentice and that woman stopping your car. I wondered in my heart, I didn't know what the relationship between this woman and my apprentice was, so I hid under the car seat and wanted to secretly observe. ”

"But I didn't expect these two people to get into your car, I was sandwiched under the seat, although I could hear them whispering, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about, in order to figure out what was going on, I had to endure and follow here until they got out of the car."

This old way, being a ghost, really has a different brain from ordinary people. Don't look at what kind of height he is, a normal person can get under the seat of the car? Even if I can get in, I can hear Wuxin Dao Chang and Xiao Mei talking, why can't he hear clearly?

I thought for a while, stared at his face and asked, "Daoist Yunmeng, you are well-informed, can you tell me, is there a kind of person who doesn't know that he himself is dead, and still thinks that he is still alive in the world?" ”

Yun Mengdao was stunned, and suddenly sighed: "Ling Sen, I really envy Ling Ah Da for having such a talented and intelligent grandson as you. Alas, if only my apprentice had half your understanding. ”

He told me that there was indeed a situation as I said. If a person dies suddenly in his sleep, and he dies without fear or pain, then his ghost will think that he is still alive.

But the ghost does not come out during the day, but only at night, and the ghost feels very lonely and miserable, because he greets everyone, but no one wants to pay attention to him.

What is the reason for this? Because of the separation of yin and yang, although this ghost greets the living, the living cannot see him at all. And the ghost thinks that he is still alive, and when he sees that no one in the world pays attention to him, he will feel very lonely.

I interrupted him abruptly, "Not necessarily, this ghost might meet someone who is willing to pay attention to him. The premise is that the person is dying, or that he has psychic abilities. ”

Yun Mengdao said in surprise: "Ling Sen, you are right. Alas, if you were my apprentice, you would definitely be able to carry forward the Taoism of Zhushan Temple. ”

I ignored his emotion, and asked him with a sneer: "Daoist Yunmeng, your Taoism is so profound, then please help me calculate, am I a dying person?" ”

Yun Mengdao paused for a long time, really looked at me carefully for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "Ling Sen, what are you kidding?" I see that not only is your life long, but you also have a very rich life. ”

I asked slyly, "Daoist Yunmeng, what do you mean, I am a person who can understand yin and yang, that is, I can communicate with ghosts who don't know that they are dead?" ”
