Chapter 16 The most virtuous one is actually Li Ye
Given that they would be facing several ghosts, Lin Sui, without waiting for anyone else's reaction, gave a brief explanation of the situation.
"Humans have three souls and seven spirits, among which the life soul is the easiest to lose. Sometimes people feel that there is a shadow next to them, but when they look closely, there is nothing there. That may be a wisp of someone's wandering soul."
"As for the soul, in layman's terms, it is the physical body that supports the body's various functions and is distributed on the seven chakras of the central channel in the human body."
“Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said in his book Baopuzi: ‘No one is wise or foolish. Everyone knows that they have a soul and a spirit. If the soul and spirit are separated, a person will fall ill. If they are completely separated, a person will die.’ Song Dilai’s case is that she lost one soul and one spirit, which is why she became mentally impaired.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a moment of silence fell over the surroundings.
Regardless of what the people present thought, the live chat was filled with question marks, shoulder to shoulder, as if they were determined to reach for the heavens.
[Fine, fine, so this is how you promote feudal superstition? I'm reporting you. Get ready to be arrested!]
[You know what, this script is actually quite interesting. The actress playing the dementia patient is probably laughing in her sleep, making money without even trying.]
[Director Wu, look at me! I could weld myself to this bed and promise not to cause you any trouble!]
Please get this straight, this is a paranormal variety show. You can doubt Lin Sui's legitimacy, but you can't deny everything. There are many things in this world you don't know!
She spoke so professionally, she seemed like a true expert, I definitely trust her!
[Naive! Do you think someone who's just swindling wouldn't be prepared? Lin Sui clearly has someone backing her up; this variety show is probably tailor-made for her. Didn't you see even the young master is playing a supporting role for her?]
Public opinion was in an uproar, and for a time, almost the entire internet was speculating about how powerful Lin Sui's background was.
Until a Weibo post located in a small town came into the public eye.
—She doesn't have any background. She's just a young Taoist nun living in a dilapidated temple. Occasionally, she'll come down the mountain with a slovenly old Taoist priest to swindle and cheat people. My grandmother was cheated by them ten years ago!
—Ha, I knew she was a liar!
—You're talking about Wenxin Temple, right? My grandma went to see Master Mo three years ago, and I even went with her. He's not some charlatan; his predictions were incredibly accurate. I'm now successful in my career and have a happy family, all thanks to Master Mo's guidance. I'm even thinking of going back to see him again sometime.
—Is Zun Du or fake Zun Du? Who should we believe?
Even if Master Mo, whom you mentioned, is accurate in his predictions, it doesn't mean that Lin Sui also has such great abilities.
With Master Mo as an example, I believe that Lin Sui, as his disciple, will not be any worse!
With the appearance of this Weibo post, whether Lin Sui is truly a master has gradually become a mystery, and his person is comparable to a suspense blockbuster.
More and more people flocked to the live stream, eager to witness firsthand how Lin Sui would retrieve Song Dilai's soul.
Seeing this, the assistant director was both pleased and worried: "Director Wu, should we post a blog to clarify the script theory? Otherwise, if Lin Sui makes a mistake, we'll get criticized too."
Director Wu calmly took a sip of tea: "No need."
Not only did they not use it, they also had the publicity team cut out Lin Sui's segment and post it on the official Weibo and Douyin accounts for online promotion.
Lin Sui was unaware that because of her words, netizens had dug up information about her hometown.
She glanced at Tang Xi and saw complete trust in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Currently, probably only Tang Xi would unconditionally believe her, after all, Tang Xi herself is different from ordinary people.
"Then do you know where Song Dilai's soul is?" Yu Cinian asked at this moment.
Seeing that his smiling face contained no extra emotions, only pure curiosity, Lin Sui said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be near the haunted house."
[It seems she knew where the haunted house was all along, and deliberately came to rescue Song Dilai?]
[I already said it's a script, isn't it normal to know that?]
Si Xingran raised an eyebrow: "That's not right. Didn't she fall down the mountain and end up like this? If she lost her soul, it should have been on the mountain."
“That problem…” Lin Sui paused subtly, then changed the subject, “Now there is a more important problem.”
Everyone looked at her, including Li Ye, who had been resting with his eyes closed.
Lin Sui blinked: "Who among you can cook?"
She hadn't been able to eat cookies because she wasn't feeling well, and now her stomach was rumbling. Her pleading eyes were filled with "I'm hungry, I need food."
Lu Xiang and Si Xingran were silent for a second, then looked at Li Ye at the same time.
Lin Sui was taken aback.
Who would have thought that the most domestic and virtuous person would be this Ice Big Head?
Li Ye silently stood up and went straight back into the house.
Lin Sui followed curiously and watched as he found the old woman, handed her two hundred-yuan bills, and then went into the kitchen.
Despite the limited space restricting his performance, his movements remained nimble.
In no time, six large bowls of steaming clear soup noodles were served, and Lin Sui, who felt bad and wanted to help, couldn't get a word in edgewise.
I poached an egg, blanched two refreshing bok choy, and sprinkled some chopped green onions on top.
The noodles, which were just ordinary noodles, were made to look, smell, and taste amazing. Lin Sui even drank every last drop of the soup and couldn't help but admire Li Ye's virtuousness.
After finishing her meal, she looked up and noticed that Yu Cinian's bowl was still sitting beside her, untouched. She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Well, I'm not hungry."
Yu Cinian smiled gently, then lowered his head to peel a piece of candy, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Si Xingran, who hadn't had enough to eat, unceremoniously took his bowl, ate it all in a few bites, wiped his mouth and said, "He's a little fairy who doesn't eat human food, he only drinks dew and eats honey, so you sickly person shouldn't worry about him."
As he said this, he thought maliciously, "There are still four days left. Will this madman starve himself to death?"
……
They waited until 4 p.m., when the sun began to set, before setting off again.
During this time, the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water that Director Wu had prepared was airdropped in by drone, and Tangxi stuffed it all into her bag to reduce Lin Sui's burden.
While waiting, Si Xingran also asked the old woman about the ghost story in Lotus Village.
The old woman was somewhat reluctant to discuss this, and after hesitating for a long time, she lowered her voice and said, "Ten years ago, there was a little girl who was only eleven years old. Her mother hanged her with a rope... Perhaps the resentment was too great. Two days after she died, her mother, her grandfather, her grandmother, and the Liu family next door all hanged themselves overnight, just like her!"
"From then on, you could hear her sobbing every night around midnight in the village, like she was crying right next to your ear. Oh my, it was so scary."
"People often saw her floating and wandering around at night, and all those people died!"
Speaking of this, the old woman said with lingering fear, "She was clearly trying to bewitch me! Luckily, I usually go to bed early, and I've gotten used to that crying after hearing it for over ten years."
