When the director team was about to drive up the mountain, the twins were still asleep.
The director hesitated: "How about sending him to the hospital?"
Zhuo Yang: "That's fine. He probably woke up halfway through the journey. Even if we check his body, we won't find anything wrong. But we can check his brain."
Geng Yiyi glared at him with red eyes: "What are you talking about!"
Zhuo Yang: "I'm serious. Raising a ghost might affect your brain."
Geng Yiyi lowered her head and pretended to wipe away her tears, almost laughing out loud.
I don't know where the program crew found this lousy master who can even say such layman's words.
Gu Bozhi quickly pushed Zhuo Yang onto the bus and said to Geng Yiyi with a smile, "Don't argue, don't argue. Harmony brings wealth."
Bai Ningning patted Geng Yiyi's shoulder as a comforting gesture and asked, "Sister Yiyi, are you still recording?"
Geng Yiyi, with red eyes, insisted on her professional image: "Let my staff take them to the hospital, and try not to delay the recording. If they are fine, they will be back up the mountain soon."
She was worried about the master invited by the program team, so she planned to go up the mountain with the director team's car and make a few more attempts on the road.
Bai Ningning comforted: "It will be fine."
Geng Yiyi nodded, walked in front of the twins, and acted like a good sister.
After Bai Ningning finished her friendly interaction, she got in the car and found Zhuo Yang, asking quietly, "Positive impact or negative impact?"
Gu Bozhi was also curious and stared at Zhuo Yang with his big round eyes.
Without waiting for Zhuo Yang to reply, Chu Xisen sneered, "Who would raise a little devil if they were smart?"
Bai Ningning and Gu Bozhi: "..."
That makes sense.
Chu Xisen: "I told you to stay away from her."
Bai Ningning followed the local customs. Leveraging her recently crammed entertainment industry knowledge, she even sat up straight with a bit of airs: "What's wrong with me establishing myself as a warm-hearted little angel?"
Zhuo Yang: "Excuse me, Zhizhi might be a better choice."
Gu Yuanfan hadn't expected that these people had become so familiar with each other in just a short meal. He reminded them, "Pretend not to know each other during the official recording, especially for the newcomers. Act like you're meeting them for the first time."
The director handed them a stack of manuscripts through the window. "This is the opening scene. You can do whatever you want with the rest."
Bai Ningning quickly flipped through the pages and concluded, "It's like everyone comes on vacation, wakes up to find the villa's doors and windows locked, and successfully turns it into an escape room—but isn't it supposed to last three days and two nights? Since we're checking in tonight, doesn't that mean it's three days and three nights?"
The director explained: "The official plot begins tomorrow morning, but the mountain road is difficult to walk on at night, so we have to come up early."
Geng Yiyi was standing by the bus, reminding her team of some important matters. Suddenly, she sensed something ominous and changed her mind. "Wait a minute, help me carry them to the bus. You don't have to go up the mountain with me. I'll give you three days off. If I don't notify you after three days, you don't have to come up the mountain to pick me up. I can just come down with the director's car."
Agent: "That won't work! What if you run into any problems in the mountains? We won't be able to get there in time, and we'll have business activities to attend."
Geng Yiyi persuaded him softly, "It's okay. Just listen to me. I'll send you a message if there's any problem, okay? There won't be any rush to go up the mountain then."
The agent finally agreed after much persuasion, but was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Geng Yiyi seemed a little embarrassed: "They didn't bring any staff with them, so it seems unsociable for me to be the only one bringing people, and it wouldn't be good to cause trouble for the director team. It's okay."
The agent was puzzled: "Then what are you waiting for?"
Geng Yiyi shook her head and remained silent.
She was waiting for the reaction of the two masters of metaphysics in the car - they must be able to sense the presence of evil spirits in the mountains, but any Taoist with a conscience would remind ordinary people not to take risks.
Or maybe the two of them are skilled enough and confident enough to deal with the evil spirits in the mountains, and dare to confront the evil spirits head-on.
This was a good opportunity for Geng Yiyi to observe their true abilities.
In the car.
Yuan Muyang was resting with his eyes closed when Zhuo Yang suddenly shuddered: "There seems to be something on this mountain..."
Yuan Muyang: "Ignore it for now."
"Okay." Seeing that he didn't even open his eyes and looked confident, Zhuo Yang was not worried and pasted a talisman outside the window - this was their pass.
Xuanmen has a pass to Xuanmen, but Sha Ke is not welcome among ghosts. She can only go up the mountain by bus, and she cannot guarantee the safety of the staff on the bus.
Geng Yiyi waited for a long time, but the two "metaphysical masters" from the program team didn't come to find her. Unable to resist taking the initiative, she got on the bus and asked, "Did you hear any strange noises on the mountain just now?"
"What?"
Bai Ningning took off one of her headphones and was a little confused after hearing her words. She turned to ask Gu Bozhi, who was sharing the headphones with her, "Did you hear that?"
Gu Bozhi shook his head: "No, but I felt very uncomfortable... I had goose bumps all over my body."
Bai Ningning: "No, Chuxi... Is my brother's performance too greasy?"
Chu Xisen grabbed the backs of their seats and squeezed in between them: "What greasy! I'm a great singer and dancer, okay? My look is so refreshing, how can it be greasy?"
Chu Xisen forced her to catch up on the "Brother" stage performance, and the little angel Gu Bozhi volunteered to watch it with her.
In the end, Gu Bozhi looked very excited, but Bai Ningning still had no expression and even looked a little disgusted.
Bai Ningning pointed at the large red lips with a slightly ferocious expression on the screen: "Isn't this greasy enough?"
Chu Xisen was speechless for a moment: "Greasy... greasy, but this is not me..."
Gu Bozhi cheerfully explained, "It's my brother's. I just saw it and clicked on it."
Gu Yuanfan finally noticed the movement here: "What's greasy? What are you looking at?"
Chu Xisen snatched the phone: "Just look at mine, no need to look at others! You should at least recognize what your brother looks like first. How can you mistake me for someone else? I really am..."
Geng Yiyi was speechless. She ignored the quarreling people and looked at Zhuo Yang.
Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang sat in the front row.
Following Geng Yiyi's gaze, the other staff members also turned their eyes to Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang.
Zhuo Yang smiled gently: "It's okay, I put a talisman on the bus, it's safe."
The staff breathed a sigh of relief. Geng Yiyi bit her lip and pleaded pitifully, "Master, can you put one on my car, too?"
Zhuo Yang was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, the number of talismans I brought this time is limited, and drawing talismans is very energy-consuming."
Geng Yiyi asked, "Can't I just pay for it? The price is negotiable."
Zhuo Yang shook his head: "No."
Geng Yiyi was certain that these two so-called "masters" were half-baked, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "In that case, I'll just follow everyone up the mountain."
After communicating with the director, she asked the staff to move the sleeping twins to the back row of the carriage.
Although she couldn't stand their behavior of raising a little ghost, this was Cheng Jingwu's son after all, and she would be responsible if anything happened in the mountains.
It was obvious that the car became much quieter from the moment they got in.
After a while, the director finally finished his work and got in the car to call people and get ready to set off.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he glanced at the twins sleeping peacefully in the back row and lowered his voice consciously: "Is anyone else not here yet?"
Zhuo Yang: "It's okay, you can speak loudly. You can dance next to their ears without waking them up."
The director was skeptical: "Is this really okay?"
Zhuo Yang replied lazily: "It's okay, I must have woken up before you arrived at the station."
Geng Yiyi also said openly: "It's okay, I trust the master's judgment."
Chu Xisen lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Bai Ningning: "I think I lost the hairpin you gave me. What should I do? Is there anything wrong?"
Bai Ningning touched her pocket and found it as expected.
She typed back wordlessly: "It's okay, don't worry about it, thank you."
Gu Bozhi held the script given to him by the director with a worried look on his face: "How should I act this out..."
Bai Ningning: "Don't act, just be yourself. The director didn't actually give many lines to amateurs, it was mainly to test your brother's acting skills."
Gu Bozhi: "Ah? Really?"
He carefully looked through the script to find the relevant plot about Bai Ningning, and found that the director team had set her up as a quiet girl.
Gu Bozhi: “…”
He lost because of his character, but he still has to give a reaction.
Chu Xisen: "Then you are so lucky, my acting skills are very good."
Bai Ningning pointed at the cover of a video and said, "The one complaining about the acting is you, right?"
Chu Xisen: “?”
He tried to get closer and take a closer look: "Let me see who is slandering me. I'm going to sue him."
Bai Ningning turned off the phone screen and said, "Fasten your seat belt first. You should also fasten your seat belt properly on the bus. It's very dangerous."
Honest man Gu Bozhi: "But actually this video is praising Brother Xisen."
Chu Xisen fastened his seat belt and was immediately coaxed into believing it: "Really? Let me hear how you praise me?"
Bai Ningning: "I praise you for being self-aware and never acting."
Chu Xisen: “?”
Chu Xisen was anxious to clear his name: "My acting is really good. The teachers at the film academy wanted to recruit me before."
Bai Ningning commented pointedly, "This teacher is simply looking at looks."
Chu Xisen: "Maybe he saw my acting talent. I've also acted in music videos and concert shorts."
Gu Bozhi was also puzzled: "Logically speaking, you didn't know him before and hadn't seen any of his shows, so why do you not believe in his acting skills?"
Bai Ningning stated calmly: "I thought acting required brains."
Gu Bozhi suddenly realized and felt that what she said made a lot of sense. Thinking of Chu Xisen's "silly beauty" personality, he couldn't help laughing: "You two really look like brother and sister. Most people wouldn't dare to tease like this unless they know each other well enough."
Chu Xisen didn't think Bai Ningning was implying that he was stupid at all, and said cheerfully, "Really? I also feel that Ningning and I hit it off right away."
The director asked, "What are you going to call Ningning on the show? Try not to include your surname, since you don't share the same one."
Bai Ningning: "Just call me 'Ningning'."
The director looked at Gu Bozhi and Gu Yuanfan. Before Gu Yuanfan could speak, Gu Bozhi said, "I'll use my full name."
Gu Yuanfan was about to speak up to persuade him, but Gu Bozhi said firmly: "I will use my real name."
He hopes that everyone in the show calls him "Zhizhi" out of affection, not because he uses the pseudonym "Zhizhi" in the show.
Gu Yuanfan compromised reluctantly: "Just listen to him."
Gu Bozhi cheered a little, and said to Bai Ningning with a smile, "Sister Ningning, shall we continue watching the stage?"
Bai Ningning: "Look at me, I'm sleepy. Is there anything less moral? For example, his stupid behavior."
Gu Bozhi: "Ah, there are a lot of these. I'll find them for you."
Chu Xisen: “???”
Bai Ningning said confidently: "Funny scenes are easy to remember. Real siblings must dare to tease each other."
Chu Xisen thought what she said made sense and asked, "Then shouldn't you also share some interesting childhood stories with me? If we have to argue with each other, you can't be the only one exposing my shortcomings."
Bai Ningning said earnestly: "You don't understand. When I say something to you, just look at me and smile foolishly. Then everyone will automatically give you the image of a spoiled sister, which is good for you."
Chu Xisen thought about it for a moment and felt that what Bai Ningning said made a lot of sense. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "You know a lot."
Zhuo Yang covered his mouth in the front row, his face aching from trying to hold back his laughter - Bai Ningning had almost tricked Chu Xisen into breaking, and Chu Xisen didn't even notice!
What kind of brother and sister are these enemies?
Geng Yiyi waited for a long time, but the director didn't ask her any questions, so she took the initiative to introduce them: "Their names are Xiaonan and Xiaobei. I won't explain how to tell them apart. It's also part of the fun of the show."
Chu Xisen retorted to her: "I don't think you know how to tell the difference either."
Geng Yiyi's face suddenly fell, and she retorted sarcastically: "Do you think everyone is like you?"
"Wait a moment."
Gu Bozhi suddenly interrupted their bickering. Everyone thought he had something to say, and all the onlookers focused their attention on him.
Gu Bozhi paused the video while speaking and explained to Bai Ningning, "Here's a background story. The cake prepared by the production team is used as a punishment, which is to hit your face. This plastic wrap is also a punishment. You have to poke it with your face. The moment you break through it, you will leave an ugly photo."
Before he could play the video, Bai Ningning understood: "Did he wrap the cake with plastic wrap?"
Gu Bozhi's round eyes widened in surprise. "You can even guess this? You two are really not siblings? Why don't you do a DNA test? What if?"
【Laughing to death, Zhizhi prophet! 】
【Knowing is knowing~】
Bai Ningning refused coldly: "No, I'm an adult, let me start my own business."
Chu Xisen exclaimed: "Are you really reading about my dark history?"
As they went back and forth, the tense atmosphere in the bus disappeared.
All the onlookers realized that this was not the kind of gossip they wanted to see, and some of the staff who had seen Chu Xisen's famous scene had already started laughing secretly.
Bai Ningning pressed the play button. In the video, Chu Xisen's face was sprayed with cake, and his original appearance was unrecognizable. He wrapped the cream cake with plastic wrap and muttered softly, "I've never eaten such a disgusting cake. I'm going to take it back to %¥#&..."
The second half of his sentence was very vague, and it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying, but Bai Ningning guessed that he wanted to give Chu Hanzhou a taste.
Chu Xisen yelled: "When this cake hit me in the face, I tasted it and it was really disgusting. I have never eaten such a disgusting cake before."
Gu Bozhi was so happy that he couldn't stop grinning. He explained, "The production team explained that the cream was for punishment, so they didn't buy expensive ones. I didn't expect anyone would actually eat it."
Gu Bozhi: "Watch the next one, each one in this video is funnier than the last."
Chu Xisen was sulking, put on his headphones and ignored them.
Geng Yiyi glanced at the twins sleeping beside her. She usually used their breath to distinguish the two people. If someone really asked what the difference between the two was, not only would she not be able to answer, even Cheng Jingwu would not be able to answer.
As Zhuo Yang said, before the car stopped, the twins suddenly woke up, and one of them sat up first with a look of horror on his face, as if he had had a nightmare, with panic written all over his face.
Geng Yiyi asked, "Don't be afraid. This is the production team's car. Are you okay? Do you feel unwell?"
He didn't reply and quickly woke up his brother.
Unlike Xiaonan, his younger brother Xiaobei was only panicked for a moment, then, as if receiving telepathy, he quickly accepted the fact that he was in the car and asked, "What just happened?"
Geng Yiyi patiently asked again, "Do you feel any discomfort? Do you need the team doctor to check you out?"
Xiaobei simply moved his hands and feet and said, "My hands and feet are a little numb, but I don't feel anything else...but let's take a look anyway."
The director said, "We'll be there soon. Wait until the car stops and watch."
Zhang Yongchao took the script and reviewed the process: "Teacher Gu's group will go first, and Teacher Chu's group will go second. However, the activity range can only be in the living room. After all the guests have arrived, we will start the process of the next part. Everyone can review the script of the small theater again to make sure you don't make mistakes in your character settings."
The director said, "The first two groups will go ahead and go to an open area to let the master see Teacher Geng's twin brothers before going in."
"OK."
Geng Yiyi nodded in agreement. She now realized that the two masters were fakes and was no longer afraid.
I have to say, the pass they put on the car is pretty good.
But it is obvious that that was given to them by their predecessors, not their true level.
They probably have a lot of powerful talismans on them, so it would be best if they could get along peacefully. Even if a fight really breaks out, these two people won't be able to stop her.
Bai Ningning raised her hand and said, "I feel a little carsick. I'm going to go to the side to relax after getting off the bus."
Gu Bozhi felt a little guilty: "Did I drag you to watch too many videos? It seems that watching the phone can easily cause motion sickness."
"It's easy to get dizzy on mountain roads." Bai Ningning waved her hand, meaning that she didn't want to worry about it.
Seeing Gu Bozhi staring at her with his brows drooping, she changed her tone and said, "If you really feel guilty, please be more considerate of me during the show later."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Gu Bozhi felt as if he had been pardoned, and stretched out his little finger to make a pinky promise with Bai Ningning.
The ancient castle villa on the mountain looks quite majestic and has traces of time, but it has been properly repaired and does not make people feel that it is a dangerous building.
Geng Yiyi glanced down the mountain. She felt that the evil ghost seemed to be staring at them halfway up the mountain, but for some reason it did not come closer.
