Zhujiazhuang, Zhujia Ancestral Temple.

"Zen Master, my father is inside now."

"Except for the youngest son of the Thirteenth Family who discovered him at the beginning, no one has touched his... body."

He introduced the situation of the ancestral temple to Pei Wende in as calm a tone as possible. When Zhu Run said the last word "corpse", he could not help but reveal his sadness.

"My father once said before he was alive that if one day he dies, he doesn't want his family to have anything to do with it."

"Before the coffin is officially closed, it is enough for a few blood relatives to see him off."

"But after all, he died under mysterious circumstances, so bringing the Zen master here this time does not violate my father's last wish."

As soon as Zhu Run finished speaking, Pei Wende had not yet made any reaction, and Aunt Zhu who was following him showed a look of astonishment.

Because before entering the main temple, Zhu Run whispered a few words to several elders in the village to prevent outsiders from entering the ancestral temple to watch the death of Mr. Zhu.

Aunt Zhu originally thought that Zhu Run was concerned about Mr. Zhu's image during his lifetime and did not want too many people to see his appearance after death.

However, after listening to Zhu Run's words, it turned out that except for Pei Wende, everyone present was a family member who was closely related to Mr. Zhu.

"this……"

Aunt Zhu was about to say something when she saw Zhao Yanwei on the side shaking his head gently at her.

Aunt Zhu, who was never an idiot, suddenly understood, and all the details of her interactions in the past two years flashed through her mind.

【They have already discovered my identity?!】

In a flash of lightning, Aunt Zhu finally knew the "truth".

No wonder Zhu Huaigu would be so affectionate to him...

No wonder Zhu Run would often force her to reveal her true feelings...

Even Mr. Zhu, who has always been cold-faced, showed his love for himself...

Aunt Zhu originally thought that they felt sympathy for her fake "life experience", but now it seems that it is clearly a sign that they have recognized her for a long time.

[But, why is Third Uncle? 】

She couldn't help but cast her eyes on the third uncle behind her. Although Aunt Zhu had never regarded the servant who had grown up with her as an outsider, she never expected that he was actually related to her by blood.

Since he is a blood relative of Mr. Zhu, why did the third uncle consider himself a servant of the Zhu family for decades?

"I see."

Nodding slightly, Pei Wende did not continue to ask any questions, but walked to the main entrance of the ancestral temple and began to carefully look at Mr. Zhu who was leaning on the door frame.

To be honest, if it were not known in advance that Mr. Zhu had passed away, it would be difficult for a normal person to recognize that this was a corpse.

Because Mr. Zhu's expression was so peaceful, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked as if he was asleep and dreaming.

"It looks like it's the end of life..."

Lowering his body, Pei Wende reached out and touched Mr. Zhu's neck.

"But the body cooled so quickly that it doesn't look like it has been dead for just a few hours."

Although Pei Wende was not a serious doctor, he had studied medical skills and had seen many ways to die, but he knew that a normal death would never allow a corpse to cool down so quickly.

"My limbs have begun to stiffen, and obvious solidified corpse spots have appeared. I must have been dead for at least a day."

While he was talking about his analysis and judgment, Pei Wende's eyes stayed on Mr. Zhu's eyebrows for a long time.

"This is impossible! My father even talked to us during the day!"

Shaking his head to deny Pei Wende's judgment, Zhu Run believed in the facts he saw with his own eyes.

"I didn't say you saw a ghost in broad daylight, I just said your father died in a strange way."

Pei Wende slowly took back his right hand and stood up again.

"Normal people have seven orifices. After death, the vitality and soul will flow out through the seven orifices, and eventually they will fall into a state of complete death."

"And depending on the specific situation, the disappearance speed of vitality and soul will also be different."

"It can take as fast as a few hours, or as slow as three or five days, before the soul of the deceased completely leaves his body."

"So in order to ensure that the deceased did not fake their death, we usually keep vigil for the deceased for seven days, waiting for ghosts to pick up their souls."

After explaining the reason for the "seven-day vigil" to the Zhu family in detail, Pei Wende narrowed his eyes and continued.

"But Mr. Zhu is different. His soul has already left his body."

As if to confirm his words, Pei Wende suddenly reached out to Mr. Zhu again, and this time his target was the center of the other person's eyebrows.

"There is something outside Mr. Zhu's seven orifices that opened another acupoint for him."

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, Pei Wende actually pulled out a slender steel needle from Mr. Zhu's eyebrow.

"This is the Yintang point, which is the 'out-of-body point' second only to Tianling Gai."

"Once the Yintang point is broken, it means that the spiritual wisdom soul is damaged..."

"Such a person is a fool while alive, and is destined to be bullied by other evil spirits after death."

Judging from this point alone, the person who did it must have a deep hatred for him, which will make him unable to live in peace even after death.

"Who is it?! Who is so evil-hearted? He doesn't even let people die!"

It was no longer Zhu Run who was speaking, but Aunt Zhu who had long been unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

"I don't know who it is yet, but I'm sure it's not someone who did it."

Breaking the Yintang point will only damage the soul, but it will not allow Mr. Zhu's body to cool down so quickly.

There is another reason behind the coldness of Mr. Zhu's body.

"The one who attacked Mr. Zhu was an evil ghost."

The calm voice was full of conviction. Pei Wende had been slaying demons for so many years, and he was already well aware of the resentment in evil spirits.

And judging from the residual resentment on the body of Mr. Zhu, it seems that the evil ghost is not an ordinary evil ghost.

After all, ordinary evil ghosts don’t have such strong resentment, and they are even less likely to know what Yintang Point and Linghui Po mean?

"I have a question to ask you now, and I hope you won't hide anything."

Scanning his eyes across the four people present, Pei Wende knew that each of them had their own secrets. Now he just hoped that these four people would stop hiding it.

"Is there anyone in Zhujiazhuang, or in your Zhu family, who is a monk?"

"Whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, has there ever been a monk in your family who practiced Buddhism?"

As soon as this statement came out, the scene suddenly fell into silence.

Aunt Zhu was silent with a blank look on her face, Third Uncle was silent thoughtfully, but Zhao Yanwei and Zhu Run were silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.
