Yun Shu said, "It means exactly what it says. Your face shows that you are dead."
The director frowned, "But I'm still alive and well, and I'm not feeling unwell. Did you see my face wrongly?"
"Then let me see your birth date."
The director took a piece of paper, wrote down his birth chart, and handed it to Yunshu.
Yun Shu took the eight characters and calculated them again.
"You're right. Your birth date also shows that you're dead."
Yun Shu stared at the director for a long moment, a little confused. "Why is that? He looks alive."
"Of course I'm alive!"
The director's forehead twitched. "If I weren't alive, how could I be interviewing you here?"
"I see!"
Yun Shu suddenly snapped his fingers and said solemnly, "Your life must have been exchanged for someone else's."
The director and everyone else were stunned for a moment.
"What's the meaning?"
the director asked her.
Yun Shu explained, “What it means is that there’s a person who’s about to die, but he doesn’t want to die, so he exchanges his fate with yours so that he doesn’t have to die.
You may look fine now, but your fate indicates that it is time for you to die. Before long, the underworld will come and take your soul away, and you will truly die."
The director immediately became anxious. "But I see he's a living person. Aren't ghost messengers supposed to lure away the souls of the dead? Why are they lurein me?"
"If your fate has been changed, you will be a dead person in the ghost's book of life and death. If the ghost sees you are still alive, he will just think you are a temporary resurrection from the dead, and he will still have to cross you off to complete the task."
The director's face turned pale.
Upon hearing this, the producer couldn't help but ask, "How can we resolve this? Sister, please help! The director's family is very rich. If you help save him, he will definitely treat you well!"
After the producer finished speaking, he pushed the director and said, "Director Xue, you're right, right?"
The director finally came back to his senses, nodded blankly, and asked, "Then can you tell who changed my fate?"
Yun Shu looked at his birth date and calculated with his fingers, "You calculated your current horoscope. There's no sudden death or illness, so you should die of old age in your eighties. But you're only in your forties. It's impossible for you to die of old age at that age."
There is only one possibility: the person whose fate you exchanged with is about to die. But he is unwilling to die, so he exchanges his fate with you.
Yun Shu looked up at him and asked, "Do you have any relatives who have lived to be over eighty years old?"
The director frowned, "There is indeed such a relative, my grandfather. But my mother and my grandfather have a very bad relationship. I have only been to my grandfather's house a few times since I was a child. I haven't seen him for more than ten years."
"Have your grandpa's relatives contacted you recently?"
Yun Shu continued to explain, "This method of exchanging lives has very strict conditions. Not only do they need to know your birth date, but they also need to get something from you.
For example, I know of a method of exchanging lives called "planting a life base." It requires taking your hair, blood, nails, and underwear and putting them in a coffin. Then, they find a Feng Shui treasured site to bury it. Then, they find a professional master to set up a formation to conceal the secrets of heaven in order for it to succeed."
The director thought about it carefully.
After a long while, he suddenly remembered, "Three months ago, my mother was sick and hospitalized, and relatives from my grandfather's side came to visit.
Because she was from another place, she stayed at my house for a week and helped me take care of my mother who was in the hospital.
That person was his aunt, and they hadn't been in contact for many years. She suddenly came to the capital this time and said she wanted to talk to his mother about some family matters.
As he was about to come over, his mother fell ill and was hospitalized, so his aunt said that he could stay for a while longer to help him take care of his mother.
He was very grateful at that time, and when his aunt left, he gave her a big red envelope.
The more the director thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"He's my grandpa. Even if he doesn't have a good relationship with my mom and we only see each other a few times a year, there's no need for him to hurt me like this, right? Besides, he's already over 80 years old. Hasn't he lived enough?"
Yun Shu said calmly, "Not everyone can take life and death lightly. Some people are simply afraid of death and never feel that living any longer is enough."
The director pressed on, "When will the ghost come to seduce me? How do I resolve this?"
"I don't know when the ghost messenger will come to pick you up. It depends on whether the ghost messenger who is in charge of picking you up is busy recently. If he is not busy, he will come to pick you up tonight.
As for resolving this matter, we must find the cenotaph and destroy it."
The director's face was solemn. "My mother's hometown is in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if we go there from the capital now, we won't be able to get there tonight. The earliest we can arrive is tomorrow afternoon."
Yun Shu said calmly, "It's okay. I have a friend who works as a ghost messenger. I'll tell her and ask her colleagues not to seduce you first."
director:?
The director stared at Yun Shu's expression and studied it. She spoke so calmly, as if having a ghost as a friend was a very common thing.
The director couldn't help but ask again, "Are you kidding? Yincha is also a ghost. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by being friends with a ghost?"
Yun Shu was about to send a message to Chu Xingnan, but when she found out that the director was questioning her, she turned around and gave him a blank look. "Then I'll ask her to come to your house tonight and say hello to you?"
"Forget it!"
The director waved his hands quickly.
He didn't dare let the ghost messenger come to find him, it was too scary! What if the ghost messenger got a whim and took him away that very night?
Yun Shu sent a message to Chu Xingnan to tell him about the director's situation, and then also sent him the director's birth date.
After she finished sending it, she said to the director, "Lu Shijing asked me to come to the scene and paid me a salary, so I won't charge you any extra fees, but you have to pay for my travel expenses and food and accommodation."
"Okay, okay, no problem!"
This was a matter of life and death, so paying for his travel expenses and food and lodging was nothing. The director readily agreed.
He also said to Yun Shu, "I'll have someone book the plane tickets, and we'll leave tomorrow."
"Director, there's another round of auditions tomorrow."
Assistant director Chen Qi, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up to remind the director, because the actress he recommended was scheduled to audition tomorrow.
The director said, "Tell them to postpone the auditions! Nothing is more important than my life right now. If I die, the show won't be filmed!"
Chen Qi frowned and looked at Yun Shu, "But Director, you look very healthy, nothing can happen to you. If you really can't, why don't you go to the hospital for a physical examination?"
Don't forget that the producer has a good relationship with Lu Shijing. Maybe the producer has already colluded with Yunshu to act here with you! Yunshu's acting skills are not good, so they want to use this method to gain your trust and get the role of the female lead! "
