After hearing this, Wen Li frowned.
Zhou Qingyue also said, "It's a nightmare. I often felt like this during my exams. I always felt like someone was pressing down on me, and someone was whispering in my ear. Later, I went to see a psychologist, who said it was caused by too much pressure on my own, and it got better after the exams."
Su Sui nodded: "I've been working too much lately, and I think it's because of the stress."
After speaking, Su Sui kept an eye on Wen Li standing to the side.
Fans all know that Wen Li has lived with an old Taoist priest since childhood, and now she runs a thriving funeral shop.
Honestly, they would definitely have been staunch materialists before college, but that might not be the case after they went to college.
Seeing that Wen Li's expression was not right, Su Sui's legs went weak: "I... I haven't gotten involved with anything bad, have I?"
Otherwise, why would Wen Li have such an expression?
Wen Li raised an eyebrow slightly. She did indeed detect a strong aura of vengeful spirits on Su Sui, and there was more than one.
But vengeful ghosts only harm people, while Su Sui was simply experiencing sleep paralysis, which is really illogical.
Furthermore, she didn't sense the vengeful spirits that came yesterday, which means that these vengeful spirits are probably quite powerful.
"You're under too much pressure."
As Wen Li spoke, she turned around and went back to her room to retrieve a brocade pouch: "This is a Tranquilizing Talisman; keep it with you."
Su Sui carefully took it and hung it around her neck.
The moment the calming talisman was placed on my chest, most of my fatigue vanished instantly.
Su Sui exclaimed in surprise, "It's really healed!"
Zhou Qingyue didn't think much of it, assuming it was just Su Sui's psychological effect.
Su Sui tidied herself up quickly and then went to the tomb with the two of them.
But a few days later, Su Sui suddenly knocked on Wen Li's door one night.
When Wen Li opened the door, she saw Su Sui holding a pillow and blanket, looking at her timidly. She asked, "Wen Li, can I sleep with you?"
Wen Li made way for Su Sui to come in first.
Su Sui ran over with small, quick steps, as if someone was chasing her. Her eyes were red as she said, "I must be under too much pressure. I had sleep paralysis again tonight. I even heard a ghost whispering next to me. The ghost told me not to stay in the room and to leave immediately."
Su Sui originally wanted to go find Zhou Qingyue, but Zhou Qingyue was already fast asleep. Hesitating, she could only knock on Wen Li's door.
She was prepared for Wen Li not to open the door, but she didn't expect Wen Li to be willing to take her in.
"Where's the talisman I gave you?" Wen Li suddenly asked.
Su Sui took it off her neck and handed it to Wen Li.
When Wen Li opened the brocade pouch, she found that the talismans inside were intact and showed no signs of being burned.
Besides giving Su Sui the Heart-Cleansing Talisman, she also gave her a Peace Talisman. If the evil spirit really wanted to do something bad, the Peace Talisman would naturally scare it away.
But it's clear that the vengeful spirit doesn't seem to have any intention of harming Su Sui.
But these past few days, the vengeful ghost has indeed been haunting Su Sui.
Wen Li quietly slipped the amulet back into the brocade pouch and handed it to Su Sui: "It's too late today, go to sleep first. If you're not feeling well tomorrow, ask your teacher for leave and rest in my room for a day."
Su Sui was so moved she almost cried.
Only then did she dare to cautiously look around Wen Li's room.
Wen Li's room was clean and tidy, and there was nothing else on the desk besides a computer and a few professional books.
Su Sui lay on the edge of the bed, hugging her blanket, and stretched out one hand: "I only take up a tiny bit of space."
Wen Li laughed and said, "It's no problem if you take up more than half of it."
Wen Li left a nightlight on for when she got up at night, and Su Sui slept until dawn.
The next day, Su Sui felt refreshed and energetic. If it weren't for having to get up for work, Su Sui wouldn't want to move an inch.
Su Sui looked at Wen Li expectantly: "Can I come again tonight?"
Wen Li was packing her things when she nodded without hesitation: "Sure."
Su Sui was so moved she wanted to cry.
"Don't worry, I'll finish my work in a few days. Once the pressure is down, I definitely won't experience sleep paralysis anymore."
Wen Li glanced at Su Sui, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
Silly girl, this isn't the psychological phenomenon of sleep paralysis; you've clearly encountered a real ghost.
Wen Li stood up and flicked away the ghostly energy from Su Sui's shoulder.
Su Sui's shoulders relaxed instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wen Li, how did you do that? Just a light pat and I feel so much more relaxed."
Wen Li was both amused and exasperated: "It's just in your head."
Given Su Sui's timid nature, if she were to be entangled by many vengeful ghosts, she might just faint.
Su Sui chuckled, and the two of them came out of the room chatting and laughing.
Zhou Qingyue happened to be going out as well, and was somewhat surprised to see this: "You slept with Wen Li last night?"
Su Sui nodded: "I was woken up by sleep paralysis last night. I finally managed to fall back asleep, but not long after, I heard someone talking to me again. Luckily, Wen Li was willing to take me in."
She had been worried that Wen Li would be difficult to get along with, but who knew she would be so approachable.
Su Sui is a young girl with no bad intentions. She works alone in the countryside. On the surface, it seems fine, but in reality, she is not used to it at all.
She'd been holding back for so long; if Wen Li hadn't let her in yesterday, she probably would have collapsed on the spot.
Su Sui skipped and hopped to work in the morning, but was a little scared when she came back in the evening.
After all, I experience sleep paralysis every now and then. Although I know it's caused by stress, I can't help but shudder at the thought of that suffocating feeling in my dreams.
After dinner, Su Sui washed up and went to bed obediently.
Only then did she notice that Wen Li had taken out several long boxes from her suitcase, then took out several scrolls from the boxes and placed them on the wall. She then lit incense and prayed, her movements fluid and graceful, each gesture exuding the air of a hermit.
Su Sui waited until Wen Li put away the scroll before asking, "Wen Li, which deity did you just worship?"
“I am an ancestor of the sect.” Wen Li did not hide anything: “When I was learning the Dao from my master, I was the one who offered incense to the ancestors.”
For more than a decade, Wen Li has been offering incense and worshipping her ancestors almost every day.
Su Sui's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "I've always felt that Taoist priests have a kind of transcendent air about them. Wen Li, do you think I'm good enough?"
Wen Li shook her head: "My sect and my master's sect are not famous and we don't have any certificates. There are only a few scattered fellow disciples in my lineage. Moreover, accepting disciples depends on fate. Sects like Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain have relevant national certificates, but if you want to become a disciple in these places, you still need a letter of recommendation."
Wen Li thought about the Taoists of the Celestial Masters Association. Most of them inherited the teachings of major sects, and very few were from minor sects.
Su Sui's appearance has no affinity with the Dao.
Just follow your heart; your future isn't here.
Su Sui was taken aback. She had just said it casually because she thought it was amazing, but she didn't expect Wen Li to see through it at a glance.
She had a vague feeling that Wen Li was even more capable than she had imagined.
