Chapter 16



Except for Lu Lanlan, everyone else who was summoned into the nightmare forwarded Brother Hu’s Weibo. They dreamed of exactly the same thing, even the details matched, it was so real that it didn’t seem like a dream.

This incident only sparked heated discussions among a few people's fan circles, and finally everyone's attention shifted to Wuyou Temple, with a bunch of people waiting for Brother Hu's feedback on the talisman.

On the other hand, Shi Xi still hadn't received the notification from "Phantom", but several TV series had extended olive branches to her. She was reading the newly received script while eating breakfast, and then she received a reply from Zhang Qingxuan.

Zhang Qingxuan:

[I was studying a book on magic yesterday and was so engrossed in it that I didn’t see your message. I’m really sorry.]

[Last night, Master told me in a dream that from today on, you are his third true disciple, and he gave you a Taoist name called "Qingshi". The old man was so proud that even his beard stood up, and asked Qingyu and I to call you "Junior Sister".]

[Early this morning, I was woken up by pilgrims who went up the mountain to burn incense and pray for talismans. They said you recommended them here... I suddenly understood why Master had appeared in my dream.]

Zhang Qingxuan sent a video over. There were now about twenty people standing in the usually deserted courtyard of Wuyou Temple. Many of them were familiar faces that Shi Xi had seen on the show.

Zhang Qingxuan:

[Junior sister, I can't leave right now, is the exorcism urgent? ]

Shi Xi replied to him: "Brother Qingxuan, please take care of the temple first, and I will handle the exorcism. Last night I entered the nightmare of an evil spirit and practiced magic, and I feel I can handle it."

Zhang Qingxuan told her to be careful and ask for help at any time if she had any problems.

Shi Xi replied "OK", looked up at Zhang Qingyu who was eating opposite him, and showed the chat box: "Junior brother, I have a Taoist name now."

Zhang Qingyu opened his eyes wide and read their chat history. His cheeks were bulging with food. He corrected her in a slurred voice: "Junior Sister Qingshi, we are ranked according to the order of our entry. You should call me Senior Brother."

"Thank God, we have a new junior sister in Wuyou Temple," Zhang Qingyu said as his eyes became moist. He stuffed a bun into his mouth while crying, "It's great to have a junior sister. There is hope for the revival of Wuyou Temple."

Lin Ying looked at Shi Xi thoughtfully: "Dreaming is a good idea. Why didn't I think of such a good seedling..."

Shi Xi looked at her: "Hmm?"

Lin Ying lowered his head to drink his porridge, looking thoughtful.

After Shi Xi and Zhang Qingxuan finished discussing, he sent a message to the director of "Boys and Girls Don't Be Afraid": "Director, I'll take the job of exorcising the evil spirits at the escape room venue."

The director replied immediately: [You go in person? Is that really okay? ]

Shi Xi: "Have you seen Da Hu and the others' Weibo? I met her in my nightmare last night."

[Please wait a moment. I will ask my friends for their opinions.]

After a while, the director replied: [My friend said it’s okay, but to be on the safe side, he wants to invite two more masters to help exorcise the evil spirits. No matter who drives away the evil spirits in the end, he is willing to pay each of them 50,000 yuan. What do you think?]

Shi Xi: "I don't think it's necessary to spend more money, but if he insists, I have no objection."

The exorcism was scheduled for 5 p.m.

When Shi Xi arrived at the venue, others were already waiting at the door.

"Everyone is here. Let me introduce them to you," the director, as the leader, took the initiative to warm up the place. He patted the young man next to him and said, "This is my friend Feng Qian, he's also the boss here."

Feng Qian is much younger than the director, and looks to be in his twenties. He wears a grey T-shirt and workwear shorts, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes. He looks like he just woke up, and his voice is very hoarse: "I'll leave this matter to the three masters."

The director pointed at Shi Xi again: "This is..."

Shi Xi immediately took over his words: "I will not change my surname or my name, I am Zhang Qingshi, from Wuyou Temple."

The system complained to her: [You changed everything, okay? ]

Shi Xi replied in his heart: [How can I get into the ** world without wearing a small vest? ]

Seeing that she was wearing a hat and mask, not holding her signature shovel, and not using her real name, the director guessed that she didn't want to reveal her true identity, so he nodded in agreement and introduced the other two people: "These two are the spirit-receiving disciples Shen Shicheng and Shen Xiaocheng. They are very famous in the metaphysics circle and were recommended by another friend of mine."

The two disciples were both very tall, carrying a large suitcase in their hands, and were dressed very ordinary, except for the gold necklaces as thick as their little fingers hanging around their necks that were very eye-catching.

The two of them looked at Shi Xi at the same time, and Shen Shicheng shook his head: "For such a small matter, we two brothers can take action. Don't let this little nun get involved. She is so delicate and tender. If a fight breaks out later, who will be responsible if she gets bumped?"

Shen Xiaocheng grinned: "Exorcism is no joke, little nun, you should just take a rest. We will accept your reward, but it's not easy to earn this kind of money!"

He was so unfriendly right from the start, it turned out he was after a reward.

Shi Xi was now forbidden to smile. Looking at the sinister smile on Shen Xiaocheng's face, the evil elements in her body began to stir.

Shi Xi raised his eyelids, and the cinnabar mole under his eye made his eyes look particularly cold and beautiful: "Let's make a bet, whoever can solve this problem can get the full reward."

If they really have the ability to deal with the female ghost, it would be like indirectly helping Shi Xi complete the task. If not, all the rewards would belong to her, and she would not lose out no matter what the result is.

Shen Shicheng and Shen Xiaocheng looked at each other. Neither of them took her words seriously, and some even showed their joy on their faces.

Shen Shicheng said: "Since you have this request, we will certainly satisfy you. We let you make the first move, so that people won't say that we two brothers are bullying the minority."

Shi Xi's eyes darkened slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Sister, don't be angry if I tell you the truth," Shen Xiaocheng showed his big white teeth, his eyes shrewd, "How can a decent person come to exorcise evil spirits empty-handed? You came here today just to take advantage of us brothers, didn't you?"

Shen Shicheng shook his head and said, "What is Wuyou Temple? I have never heard of it. Nowadays, even a small Taoist temple that is not well-known can come out to cheat people out of money. The morals of the world are going downhill."

Zhang Qingyu heard this and angrily said to Shi Xi: [Junior sister, these two people are too abominable. Wuyou Temple is not a small Taoist temple that is not up to standard! ]

Shi Xi: "Just don't regret this decision. It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of Wuyouguan before. You will definitely be impressed after today."

"It's no use talking too hard. We're all veterans. We can tell your worth at a glance." Shen Xiaocheng looked at Feng Qian and said bluntly, "Boss, do you have any objection to our bet? 150,000 yuan to be paid in one lump sum. No credit."

The implication of his words seemed to be that he was worried that Feng Qian, who was dressed simply, would default on his debt.

Feng Qian was not annoyed and lazily gestured "OK".

"Let's start." Shen Shicheng and Shen Xiaocheng were confident.

Shi Xi said in a gentle voice: "Director, Mr. Feng, you should go to the monitoring room to watch, so as not to be targeted by the evil spirits."

The director smiled and nodded: "You are very thoughtful. Let's go to the monitoring room first and wait for your good news."

After the director and Feng Qian left, Shi Xi received a call from his agent Lin Wenyi.

"Xiao Xiao, you're in trouble!" Lin Wenyi said anxiously, "Some netizens edited a funny video of you slapping Lu Lanlan and her fans in the face. As a result, Lu Lanlan's fans got angry and are now tearing you apart everywhere. Your Weibo comment section is now full of blood and gore."

Shi Xi was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "Let the bullet fly for a while, I'm working part-time, I'll talk about it after I finish my work."

Lin Wenyi: "What part-time job? Tea artist or magician? Are you going to explore ghosts again? It's not even dark yet."

Shi Xi: "Today is the Ghost Exorcist."

Lin Wenyi was confused and said, "Excuse me, please continue. I'll help you keep an eye on Weibo."

Shen Shicheng snorted coldly: "You dare to call yourself a master, you are so arrogant."

Shen Xiaocheng looked around and said, "The yin energy here is so strong, and you are trying to do two things at once. If you don't take it seriously, we will have to pay to rescue you if you run into trouble later."

"Don't worry, you're not needed." Shi Xi glanced at them indifferently and walked towards the operating room with familiarity.

"I want to see how you can exorcise ghosts with empty hands." The Shen brothers also followed.
