Gong Mengbi didn't really want to provide psychological counseling to this clever skull god, but as he said, he always liked to mix truth and lies with deception.
The Skull God was bullied at a young age and had low self-esteem from the bottom of his heart. Lies were his first weapon, so they were engraved in his bones.
When his family discovered that he was a liar, they kicked him out of the house. He had to wander outside, cheating and harming others by lying.
Many of them were sincere towards him, but unfortunately their sincerity was based on false lies from the beginning, and the Skull God did not have the courage to expose the lies and take a look at the true self.
False truth breeds more falsehoods and lies. Once discovered, there will eventually be nothing left.
The Skull God once resented himself for not telling the truth, but he could never reveal his true self.
How sad.
Gong Mengbi listened and knocked on the skull like a wooden fish.
Since you can't get sincerity, then don't ask for it anymore.
With this thought in mind, the Skull God gradually turned into a person who used lies in exchange for benefits.
He went to the mountains to practice Taoism by taking someone else's identity, and cheated his teacher into favor with lies. In the end, he burned down the Taoist temple. Looking at the pain and despair of his teacher, he was both twisted and happy.
See, you don't deserve it. This is what he told himself, forcing himself to go all the way to the dark side, forcing himself to become a heartless person.
Later, he had no hope of cultivating immortals, so he sneaked into Xima Mountain, where he was valued by the Ghost Immortal Sect and gradually became the mainstay of the Ghost Immortal Sect.
And as he said, excluding dissidents and suppressing fellow believers has turned Ximashan into a mess and destroyed many inheritances.
Later, when I got older, I raised a disciple with good bones, and showered him with pretended love, hoping to seize his body and be reborn, and use his corpse to bring back his soul.
But unfortunately, the clues were discovered, and instead he was combined inside and outside to become the Skeleton God.
He once had a close relative, but because of the love woven by lies, they eventually parted ways.
There was a division commander who had high hopes for him, but because of his false identity, he finally burned down the mountain and fled.
There were friends who treated him like family and friends, but in order to deceive their moral character and souls, they eventually turned against each other.
There was once a disciple who regarded him as his parent, but for the sake of longevity and immortality, he was eventually killed and refined into a magic weapon.
How hateful.
Gong Mengbi thought like this and stopped knocking on the skull.
Skull, who was quietly guided by the illusion, said: "After being refined into a magic weapon, I can only obey the orders. I can no longer speak, let alone freedom."
"Why is this so?"
"Why is this so?"
The Skull God cried loudly, but did not say anything more about wanting to die.
He probably had some reflection, but he just couldn't go against his inertia and didn't have the strength and courage to make changes.
He knew clearly that what he did was wrong, but after being rescued, the first thing he did was to deceive the savior.
Gong Mengbi looked at the skull and said, "It's so weak."
"Huh?" The Skull God slowly came to his senses, but he was not completely awake yet.
Gong Mengbi stood up, and the skull fell off his body and rolled to the ground, looking at him with empty eyes.
"I said your deception skills are terrible." Gong Mengbi said: "You are a liar, but what you say is always in a panic, inconsistent, and changing from left to right. You think you can play with others, but in fact you are full of mistakes."
Hurrah! Your illusion trick seduced me into telling me about the past. Unexpectedly, instead of pitying me, you actually mocked me!
That's too much!
Skull was angry in his heart and choked out: "You are a little fox, you have deceived several people, how dare you say that I am not good at deception?"
Gong Mengbi glanced at him sideways and said, "I am a fox and you are a human. Are you trying to deceive me? It's ridiculous."
The skull asked angrily: "Who have you deceived?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I have deceived gods and mortals, and I have deceived countless people."
"Of course, none of this is surprising. I'm only a little better than you." Gong Mengbi turned to look at him, and his round eyes seemed to turn green: "I can lie to myself."
The skull was shocked.
Gong Mengbi stepped back and said with deep meaning: "If you can't deceive yourself, do you think you can deceive others?"
The Skull God seems to have seen the light and the way forward.
Gong Mengbi seduced: "This may be your only way to escape. Don't you want to try it?"
The Skull God immediately asked for advice: "Teach me!"
Gong Mengbi said: "I can teach you, but you may not be able to learn it. First, you have to determine what kind of person you want to be."
"Be a human?" Skull God wondered.
"No way, do you think you are really a human being?" Gong Mengbi said in surprise: "You don't think that you are a human being just because you were born with a human form, do you?"
The Skull God was startled again: "I was born a human, so how can I not be counted as a human?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head: "If you are a human being when you are born, then why is there still a saying of 'learning to be a human being'?"
"People are acquired, not innate. If your body and spirit are not unified, who are you?"
The Skull God always felt that he was insulting him, but he also felt that what he said seemed to make some sense, so he asked for advice: "How can I determine what kind of person I want to be?"
Gong Mengbi said: "Do you recognize your true nature? Inferiority, cowardice, hypocrisy, greed..."
"Stop scolding, stop scolding." The Skull God was now sure that he was scolding himself.
Gong Mengbi shook his head: "I'm not scolding you, I'm teaching you."
"When I exposed you for lying to me, before you begged for death, what did you think at that moment?"
The Skull God was silent for a moment.
Do you deny everything about yourself, or do you retreat after being exposed?
The Skull God gradually understood what Bai Mengbi meant, and he tentatively said: "If I want to make one..."
"You don't have to tell me so soon." Gong Mengbi narrowed his eyes: "When you think about it clearly, you can try to deceive yourself."
The skull god swallowed the words into his belly.
"It's easy to deceive for a while, but it's hard to deceive for a lifetime. It's easy to deceive others, but it's hard to deceive yourself." Gong Mengbi shook his head: "Your cultivation is okay, but your deception is too bad."
For a moment, the Skull God couldn't tell whether the little fox was telling the truth or a lie. He couldn't even tell whether he was talking about himself or the Skull God.
Gong Mengbi's head was spinning and the skull god was confused, but Gong Mengbi's new round of interrogation began again.
Gong Mengbi said: "Come on, let's start now." He blew a breath and raised the skull again.
"You are from Ximashan, how come you fell into the hands of General Ban Yin?"
The Skull God sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Have you ever seen an old ghost? That is my apprentice."
Gong Mengbi was really disgusted: "Is this the way you look? You actually fancy a skin like that?"
The Skull God argued: "He was not like this in his youth!"
"The body you have been thinking about so much has been destroyed by General Ban Yin, and your soul has turned into a ghost? Isn't it ridiculous?"
Skull God said: "What do you know! He did it voluntarily."
Gong Mengbi couldn't understand this.
Skull God said: "He plotted against me and was injured by me. He has no hope of practicing and his life is short. He voluntarily turned into a ghost to share his eternal life with General Ban Yin."
