After the male ghost sat down, the room became quiet.
He Xiangyang gently helped He Hongming up and asked him to sit on the sofa.
"Uncle, how do you feel?"
"He suffered some internal injuries, but it's nothing serious." He Hongming looked at the man and the ghost chatting on the sofa and sighed, "He showed mercy."
He Xiangyang also looked over, and saw the Taoist priest wearing a fox half-face mask take out a stick of incense from his bag, light it slowly, and pick out an apple from the fruit plate on the table to serve as an incense burner.
After lighting the incense, she fanned away the smoke, asked the male ghost's name and date of birth as if chatting, and invited him to enjoy the incense and fruit.
The evil ghost named Zhuang Mei relaxed visibly, and the negative energy on his body became much weaker. He Xiangyang then noticed that this evil ghost did not look scary at all. He had big eyes with droopy corners, and looked like a harmless rabbit when he was quiet.
Even so, He Xiangyang didn't dare to get close.
After Zhuang Mei had eaten his fill, his tone became much lighter. He looked at Shi Xi and said, "Your outfit is very eye-catching, and the texture of your wig is also very good. What brand is it?"
Shi Xi remembered the harsh words this guy had said before - I will come and talk to you after I deal with him.
Originally I wanted to ask about the brand of the wig? Is this considered an occupational disease?
Shi Xi answered his question and asked, "Teacher Zhuang, do you have a long-cherished wish to stay here?"
When He Hongming heard this question, he also pricked up his ears. According to his speculation, Zhuang Mei had been causing trouble in the hotel these two days in order to absorb the yang energy of living people and accumulate enough energy to find a substitute.
It was because of this judgment that he mistakenly believed that the person causing trouble in the hotel was just an ordinary kid, so he came with confidence.
Zhuang Mei blinked his eyes and said, "You all should know that I was a makeup artist when I was alive. Two years ago, I died in this hotel due to overwork. Since then, I have been living in the room where Hu Gui slept. I am not staying here because of unfulfilled wishes, but because I am too lazy to reincarnate. I want to stay in the hotel for a few years before leaving."
Zhuang Mei spread his hands and said, "I haven't done anything in the past two years. I just automatically absorbed too much resentment from the office workers and became so strong."
When Shi Xi heard this, she actually felt a little sad. Perhaps it was her contribution that helped Teacher Zhuang become stronger.
He Xiangyang felt a little sad after hearing this. He couldn't help but complain a few words after filming every day.
Shi Xi asked: "You were staying at home, why did you suddenly come out to shave people's beards?"
"Because Hu Gui was too sloppy! His eyebrows were so thick that they were almost connected, and his beard was messy and curly," Zhuang Mei frowned and raised his index finger. "I endured it for a whole week, but I couldn't help it. So on a dark and windy night, I took action and shaved off the annoying beard... Sorry, occupational diseases are really hard to cure."
Shi Xi: "What about wearing lipstick?"
Zhuang Mei's cheeks flushed: "I picked up that lipstick on the street. I heard it's a popular color recently, so I tried it out."
This is also an occupational disease.
After hearing this cause, it is not difficult to understand what happened next.
The styling that Zhuang Mei did for Hu Gui received unanimous praise. Lao Liu also kept praising him and even expressed his desire to shave his beard. Zhuang Mei of course...
"Of course I have to satisfy him. To be honest, the feeling of revisiting my craft is a bit overwhelming. Unfortunately, these models are only frightening but not surprising."
Zhuang Mei looked at He Xiangyang with a sharp gaze: "As for you, I have noticed something strange a long time ago. I came here tonight just to scare you."
He Xiangyang was startled by his sharp gaze and subconsciously hid behind He Hongming.
He Hongming was shocked. The hotel was haunted because the ghost had an occupational disease? The evil ghost was chatting with the Taoist priest face to face? This relaxed atmosphere, like a tea party, was simply unbelievable...
Zhuang Mei tilted his head: "Is this Taoist priest scared silly by me?"
"I'm not stupid, I just have some doubts about life," Shi Xi said, changing the subject: "Teacher Zhuang, do you still want to pick up your craft again?"
Zhuang Mei lowered his eyes and nodded: "I want to."
He Hongming felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Desire had given way to it, so who could guarantee that the evil spirit would not become even more vicious?
Shi Xi, however, looked relaxed and curled his eyes: "Then come with me. I have high-quality stars here, and they will definitely not let you down."
As soon as the words fell, a cheongsam-clad figure appeared behind Shi Xi. Lin Ying spread out her fan and smiled at Zhuang Mei: "I really appreciate Mr. Zhuang's eyebrow-trimming technique."
Zhuang Mei showed a surprised expression, and his dark eyes glowed: "Are you Lin Ying?"
Shi Xi was surprised: "You know her?"
Although Lin Ying was a genius, he was ultimately a flash in the pan and few people remembered him.
Zhuang Mei: "I have studied Teacher Lin Ying's makeup and was deeply impressed."
Lin Ying was also very happy, with a nostalgic look in her eyes: "I didn't expect that someone still remembers me."
"I can't see you again," Zhuang Mei sighed, and suddenly thought of a question: "But I don't have any cosmetics that can be used on the ghost."
Shi Xi: "It's a small problem. I'll take care of it."
Zhuang Mei smiled and said, "Great, I'll go with you then."
He Hongming was so impressed by this operation that his mind was in a mess: Can it be solved this way? How many Taoist spirits does this Taoist have? What kind of place is Wuyou Temple?
He was still in shock when Shi Xi suddenly called out his name: "Master He, I will take Zhuang Mei away. This matter ends here. Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objection," He Hongming closed his eyes and bowed to Shi Xi. "The business of Zixu Temple has been going from bad to worse. I was blinded by jealousy and greed. I said inappropriate words in front of my nephew and challenged the Taoist priest. I am really ashamed. I will publicly apologize to Wuyou Temple and explain everything that happened tonight to Director Wang Ming."
He Hongming turned to Zhuang Mei again and said, "I was eager to show off, so I killed Mr. Zhuang without asking for the whole story. I apologize here and thank you for showing mercy."
Zhuang Mei waved his hand and said, "I have taught you a lesson, let's put this matter behind us."
Shi Xi smiled at He Xiangyang and said, "My dear, I heard from Xiaoshi that you wanted to record the scene where I lost miserably and play it on loop?"
As soon as Shi Xi opened his mouth, the two evil spirits beside him looked at He Xiangyang at the same time, both with kind expressions.
He Xiangyang's scalp was numb and he was almost in tears: "Master Qingshi, you misunderstood. I meant that I would record the scene of my uncle and I apologizing and play it a hundred times in a loop so that I can remember this lesson... I, I will apologize to Xiao in person tomorrow."
The system laughed loudly: [His confident look during the day is still before my eyes. The comparison is really interesting.]
Shi Xi replied in his heart: [Oh, these young people are so reckless in what they do and say.]
Seeing that he was very scared, Shi Xi took the opportunity to expand his business: "If you need it, you can go to Wuyou Temple to ask for a peace amulet. You can get a 20% discount if you mention my name."
He Xiangyang nodded repeatedly.
Even He Hongming said: "If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Wuyou Temple to learn."
Shi Xi ordered: "It's time for me to go back, young friend, please contact the director."
When the director came over, he saw He Hongming looking dejected with blood on his clothes. He was shocked and asked, "Is Taoist He injured?"
"It's nothing, just a minor injury," He Hongming said respectfully, "Thanks to Taoist Qingshi's help, I've learned something new today. Taoist Qingshi completed this task alone, Director Wang can just reward her."
The director was stunned when he heard this. This Taoist He didn't have this attitude when they first met. What had he been through?
The director didn't dare to ask for details, and after learning that the matter had been resolved, he readily offered to pay the remuneration.
Shi Xi was worried that taking out her cell phone would reveal her identity, so she asked the director to transfer the money to "Shi Xiao". This incident also reminded her that if she wanted to completely separate the entertainment circle and the metaphysics circle, this vest was too thin. Even if the director of the secret room variety show would help her keep it a secret, it would be only a matter of time before she was exposed.
Before parting, the director handed her a business card and said sincerely: "Master Qingshi, please seriously consider participating in my next movie. If you have any ideas, feel free to contact me."
Shi Xi put the business card into his pocket: "Okay, I'll take my leave."
He had his own room upstairs, but in order to hide completely, Shi Xi had to go back to another hotel to rest.
On the way, she sent a message to Zhang Qingxuan, asking him about paper-making shops that could customize cosmetics and clothing.
Zhang Qingxuan should have fallen asleep at this time and has not replied to the message yet.
After returning to the hotel, his nerves, which had been tense for the whole day, relaxed. Fatigue and sleepiness came over him. When Shi Xi saw the sofa, he just wanted to fall asleep.
Before her body touched the sofa, she was lifted up by a soft yin energy.
Zhuang Mei whispered in her ear: "If you don't remove your makeup before going to bed, your pores will be clogged, which will accelerate skin aging in the long run. Even if you are naturally beautiful, you can't stand this. And don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping with a wig and a mask on?"
Shi Xi resigned himself to his fate and walked into the bathroom.
Only then did Zhuang Mei happily go back into the game. There were small houses reserved for NPCs in the game, and they usually wouldn't come out to disturb Shi Xi.
After Shi Xi finished washing up, he set an alarm and fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up the next day, she saw three innocent faces as soon as she opened her eyes.
Shi Xi was used to it. He buried his face in the quilt and asked in a muffled voice, "What are you watching this time?"
"I'm looking at your little bald head," Zhuang Mei said. "I didn't look at your face hidden under the mask yesterday. So you are an actor in the crew of "Phantom"? I think I absorbed your resentment at work before."
Shi Xi got up lazily: "Yes, from now on you can absorb my work resentment from a close distance."
Zhuang Mei stroked his chin and asked, "Were you trying to hide your identity by dressing like that last night?"
Shi Xi nodded.
Zhuang Mei said, "To be honest, the reason why your disguise fooled the director and the actor was because it was too different from your look in the crew, and the contact time was short and the lighting was dim. You may not be able to hide it next time."
Shi Xi had thought about this question last night. She thought about Zhuang Mei's words and suddenly realized another meaning: "You are a professional makeup artist, do you have a better way?"
Zhuang Mei's eyes curved: "Do you need my help?"
[New task: long-term meal ticket;
Details: Provide makeup artist Zhuang Mei with beauty products and offerings for a long time until he passes away;
Reward: Disguise talent +20%;
Punishment: No makeup for one month. 】
Shi Xi really didn't expect this! She originally thought that Zhuang Mei was of the same nature as the nightmare ghost, and she just needed to take him home to slowly save his soul and wait for him to pass away voluntarily. Unexpectedly, she accidentally picked up a big treasure.
"Can you disguise yourself?"
Zhuang Mei said modestly, "I was interested in disguise when I was alive, and I often tried to use makeup to change people's appearance and temperament, but my ability was limited. After becoming a vengeful spirit, I was too homebound, so I made a small effort in this direction, but I can only use this ability to change my own appearance. I can only use cosmetics to change the appearance of others, and my ability is limited."
This is not just a small effort from you, it's a sign of extraordinary talent.
"Whatever you want comes true," Shi Xi was no longer sleepy. She stretched out her hand to Zhuang Mei and said, "From now on, I will be your long-term meal ticket."
Zhuang Mei smiled with his eyes curved, suppressed his gloomy aura and shook hands with her: "Thank you for the meal."
After inheriting Zhuang Mei's talent for disguise, Shi Xi can pinch his own face without worrying about being exposed.
Shi Xi opened Zhang Qingxuan's chat box, and Zhang Qingxuan replied to her message early in the morning.
He directly pushed a WeChat business card over. The avatar of this WeChat account was blank and the nickname was "Bai Zhi".
Zhang Qingxuan: [Mr. Bai is a skilled craftsman. He can do anything, but the price is high. Junior Sister, add him and chat with him privately.]
After Shi Xi applied to be added as a friend, Bai Zhi quickly accepted.
Shi Xi greeted him and explained her purpose: "I want to customize a batch of beauty products, clothing and jewelry."
Bai Zhi: [You can do it. You need to list the beauty products and jewelry and send reference photos. For clothing, you need to report your height, size and style.]
Feeling very professional, Shi Xi asked several ghost friends about their requirements, made a list, found reference photos, packaged it and sent it over.
Bai Zhi: [It can be done. Please wait two days for the design draft and one week for the finished product. The friendly price is 5,000 yuan, and you need to pay half of the deposit. ]
This is much more expensive than ordinary paper-making shops, but it is recommended by Zhang Qingxuan, so it must be reliable.
After Shi Xi paid the deposit, he gave him the address of his dormitory and asked him to mail it there after he was finished.
In the afternoon, Shi Xi arrived at the set and turned back into Wu Chen.
The director called her over and paid her the fee for last night's exorcism, a total of 200,000 yuan.
After seeing the money, Shi Xi understood why He Xiangyang spread rumors about Wuyou Temple, because he wanted He Hongming to make this money.
"This remuneration is given by the producer. Please say hello to Taoist Qingshi on behalf of the producer." The director said, and suddenly sighed: "I think you are a bit like Taoist Qingshi, but she dresses very fashionably, has a very unique temperament, and is much taller than you."
Shi Xi smiled: "Really?"
"I have invited her to play a role, but she doesn't seem to be planning to enter the entertainment industry," the director sighed regretfully, and then changed the subject: "Xiao Shi, you are actually very versatile. Let's audition and find out more about you when the time comes?"
Shi Xi: “Okay.”
Why do I feel like I'm being a stand-in for myself...it must be an illusion.
Upon learning that Shi Xi had come to the set, He Xiangyang came over to apologize: "Teacher Shi, I offended you with my inappropriate words yesterday. I apologize to you here."
"Actually, I just wanted to give my uncle a chance, and also to satisfy a little of my own selfish desire. I always felt that you took my chance by playing the second male lead. After what happened last night, I have deeply realized my mistake. I have been playing my apology video on loop."
Shi Xi didn't expect there was this reason. No wonder this guy was so angry.
"Xiao He," the director heard this and said helplessly, "You think too much. That opportunity was never yours. It was because Teacher Liu Ling and I met Xiao Shi that Wu Chen became the second male lead."
He Xiangyang cried loudly after learning the truth.
The author has something to say:
I would like to recommend my friend’s article:
"The female supporting role became popular in the variety show of the times" by Yuxuan W
Copywriter:
The max-level fast-transmigration master Luo Qiu is back.
After she died and entered a fast-forward journey, she realized that her world was a novel.
This is a cool male entertainment story, in which the male protagonist upgrades and fights monsters all the way, and is accompanied by his beauty to the peak of his life. However, she is a cannon fodder female supporting role who is mocked for her love for the male protagonist and blacklisted by the whole network.
At that time, Luo Qiu had just entered a nostalgic variety show of the era, and the first live variety show. Netizens rushed to prepare to criticize, but found that -
The variety show guests couldn't make a fire and couldn't find any food, so they had to eat white rice with cold water, feeling miserable.
Luo Qiu went up the mountain to chop wood, dig vegetables, and go into the water to catch fish. The wild vegetables and small fried fish made him hungry.
The first netizen: Tsk, who doesn’t know how to make a fire and cook when they were young? The other guests are just not familiar with it!
But as the variety show progressed, the contrast became more and more obvious. Variety shows require self-reliance, earning work points to earn money tickets, and all materials require tickets.
The other guests' homes were bare, with no electrical appliances or decorations.
Luo Qiu pastes newspapers and does carpentry work, assembles radios and makes furniture to build a retro cottage.
Netizen: The world of the strong is so terrifying! I kneel down!
The other guests worked hard every day, but their work points were very low and their wages were scarce, so they had a hard time making ends meet.
Luo Qiu got a lot of work points and had a handful of banknotes in his hands. He happily drank wolfberries in a teacup and played mahjong with the villagers.
Netizen: The guests are so miserable! Wait, sister is playing mahjong and is short of one player, let me play!
Life was too miserable. In order to cling to Luo Qiu's thigh, other guests surrendered and offered their "indentures" and turned into coolie workers. Under Luo Qiu's leadership, they saw that the guests' lives were getting better and better. They strolled in the mountains during the day, played marbles and spinning tops on the swings, looked up at the stars at night, talked around the fire and reminisced about their childhood. They lived a leisurely and beautiful nostalgic pastoral life.
The audience was suddenly unbalanced!
"Get out of the way, sister, look at me, I'm going to sign the contract too!"
"What kind of celestial life is this? I'm jealous! Take me with you!"
...
Ye Zhiyi was trapped in an endless cycle.
The ninth rebirth,
He thought that this was just another repetition of the unchangeable plot in the novel, in which the villain, as a tool, suppressed the hero, and King Tianliang was defeated, becoming a stepping stone for the hero to succeed.
But this time, the appearance of a girl quietly changed the world line.
The two isolated islands were connected, and she saved him.
