As soon as Xu Mengru posted that Weibo, the front row was still filled with normal comments from fans, such as "Sister is pretty!" and "Checking in, another day of being shocked by the beauty of beautiful women."
However, a few minutes later, fans who saw the Weibo post were like, "Wait a minute, am I illiterate? Going to an amusement park for a beauty treatment?"
"What kind of thing is this like eating a sugar biscuit and getting a burn on the back of your head? Is that acceptable?"
"Sister, did you make a typo? It's a beauty salon, not an amusement park!"
The haters were even more direct: "What kind of nonsense promotion did you accept? Are you crazy trying to make money?"
"You need a face lift. You're already getting wrinkles at your age, right?"
Xu Mengru ignored the jumping black fans and just replied to the fans' words one by one, saying that she was not wrong, it was an amusement park, and it was really useful, not an advertisement.
As the topic was gaining popularity on Weibo, just as it was about to become a trending search, a marketing account suddenly posted a post:
"Everyone saw a certain actress posting selfies advertising a certain no-name beauty salon, right? Ummm, I don't know if I should say this, but that actress is practically disfigured."
"I'm a nurse at a private hospital. That actress stayed in our hospital for a long time. I don't know what happened to her face, but it's rotten beyond belief. It's even started oozing pus. Can you believe it? She hadn't been out for a long time. Wasn't there a rumor she was filming a movie? That wasn't the case at all. She was just getting some facial treatment."
"Is she okay now? She wasn't when I left the hospital. If she gets any worse, she'll probably be disfigured. If I were her, I'd just take the last bit of money and run away."
The post was clearly targeted and heavily misleading. Xu Mengru knew it was from a rival. She also knew the marketing account was run by a certain company.
But just because Xu Mengru can see it doesn’t mean ordinary netizens can tell the difference.
Who wouldn't want to see the words "female celebrity" and "disfigured" together? Furthermore, marketing accounts have a specific process for exploiting virality, and soon, this Weibo post was listed alongside Xu Mengru's selfie on Weibo's trending searches.
Xu Mengru frowned, but she didn't care what others said about her. After all, she had been an actor for almost twenty years and had seen all kinds of bad words.
But she couldn't stand people scolding the amusement park, and even more so, she couldn't stand those uninformed netizens saying that the beauty salon in the amusement park was three-no.
Thinking of this, she simply posted a video.
In the video, she straightforwardly admitted that she had a rash on her face and was almost disfigured.
In order to make netizens believe, she even cruelly posted photos of her rotten face: the face without a single piece of good skin, the broken skin oozing blood, the abscesses and blisters, and the heartbroken eyes, which were scary and heartbreaking at the same time.
Although Xu Mengru herself wasn't disfigured, netizens didn't know that! They only saw the once beautiful actress become like this due to illness, and they felt even more sympathetic.
However, the camera soon shifted to the present Xu Mengru. She zoomed in directly on her face, allowing the audience to see her skin as delicate as a boiled egg. She smiled and said, "Many people say that I'm a money-swindler and a liar. You can say that to me, but please don't say that about Fengdu Amusement Park. Everyone can look at my skin now. It was cured by Fengdu. There is not a single scar left."
The phone's front camera captured 360 degrees of detail without even turning on the beauty filter, leaving no room for fakery. Comparing the previous photos of the rotten face with the current video, one is left exclaiming, "How is this possible?"
The netizens who were still watching the show were shocked!
"Don't even mention whether her face is awful or not. A normal person's face has some blemishes, right? Acne scars, pores, and the like, but she doesn't even have those!"
"She's thirty, right? I don't mean to be ageist, but a thirty-year-old's skin definitely won't be as good as a twenty-year-old's. But looking at her skin, it's even more delicate than my ten-year-old niece's..."
"I'm really going crazy! Can anyone tell me she's lying? How could a beauty salon in an amusement park have such therapeutic effects?"
"This can't be faked, right? Didn't a tech expert verify the video? There's no beauty filter or post-processing. If you insist, maybe she just has better skin naturally..."
"Impossible. What female celebrity with skin like this wouldn't promote it? At the very least, she'd even do a livestream of herself removing her makeup. I've never heard of her promoting it before..."
"So, it's really that amusement park beauty salon's fault?"
Netizens were silent for a while.
Damn, I still think there is something wrong. Why would an amusement park have a beauty salon?
In just a few hours, Xu Mengru and Fengdu teamed up to break through the hot searches, and put five hot searches on the list at once!
From #Shocking! A popular star is disfigured? #
#Inventory of Xu Mengru's classic works since her debut#
This is relatively normal, and then there are the more sick ones like #I don’t want to run an amusement park that’s not a good venue for beauty salons#…
Some friends who hadn't been online for a long time felt like the whole world had changed when they opened Weibo again.
Some friends clicked on the trending search...
"Yeah, it's Fengdu. Not surprising. Let's all go."
"I wouldn't be surprised if this amusement park defeats the aliens and unifies the world one day."
"Upstairs, unifying the world is impossible, but given the nature of this amusement park, it's not impossible to go global. It really is that kind of thing, that kind of thing that's very rare, do you understand?"
In short, the beauty salon in the amusement park finally attracted people's attention after being open for a long time.
You have to know that this is an era of beauty consumption. Both men and women pay great attention to their appearance management. Having good skin is the dream of many boys and girls.
However, some netizens were skeptical. How could someone's face be so ravaged that it leave no scars? Even a large dermatology clinic, let alone a small beauty salon, couldn't possibly achieve this, right? While the video wasn't fake, what if the disfigurement wasn't? With all the special effects makeup technology available nowadays, even a zombie-like face could be created, surely a disfigured face wouldn't be a problem.
Inevitably, arguments broke out under the trending searches.
What put an end to the dispute was a police notice: "Recently, the police received a report from the victim, Xu XX... The suspect, Fan XX, is suspected of multiple crimes, including illegal detention, domestic violence, tax evasion, and organizing the sale of silver... The victim had attempted to disfigure herself to escape oppression, but... Ultimately, with the help of an amusement park manager, the victim obtained evidence and contacted the police. The police solemnly remind you..."
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as this announcement came out, the entire Internet was in an uproar!
Although the names are censored, we are all professional spectators. After training on a certain green website, filling in the blanks is no longer a problem. We can basically tell who it is talking about at a glance.
While thanking the police and sympathizing with Xu Mengru's experience, netizens are more concerned about the fact that the amusement park is real and the disfigurement is real!
Well, beauty houses are real too!
A place where you can heal your sore face!
A place where disfigurement can be healed without leaving scars!
A place where your skin can be as smooth as a boiled egg!
Who! Can! Resist! This! Temptation!
One netizen put it well: "When Fengdu Amusement Park's weekend activities were all the rage online, I didn't care because I don't like going to amusement parks. When Fengdu's toilets were all the rage online, I didn't care because I was perfectly comfortable. Now, Fengdu's beauty salons are all the rage online, and I can't sit still anymore because my face has been rotten for twenty years—huhuhuhu..."
On this day, countless people started packing their suitcases and traveled thousands of miles to save their reputation.
In the morning, a bus stopped at the entrance of Fengdu Amusement Park and more than twenty young girls got off the bus.
"Is this the place? The view is so beautiful!"
"Ah, I kind of know how this amusement park became so popular. The scenery is really impressive."
"Where is the beauty salon? Is this where Sister Mengru comes to get her face treated?"
These people are Xu Mengru's fan club, the die-hard fans.
They saw Xu Mengru say that Fengdu Amusement Park was her benefactor and a place that gave her a new life, so they wanted to come and take a look. They also wanted to increase the popularity of the amusement park and repay their idol.
However, they were shocked when they got off the bus. This amusement park seemed very awesome!
Thanks to Gu Wang's efforts during this period, the amusement park not only expanded in size, but also looked different from before.
Although the previous amusement park was also beautiful, it was small after all, so it can only be described as small but exquisite.
But now the amusement park has changed a lot:
The stone tablet of the amusement park still stands at the entrance of Baiwu. The two words "Fengdu" on the stone tablet are calm and ancient, and the base is added with fine fire patterns of fire lotus.
This pattern looks ordinary, but in fact, it is the real red lotus fire, which Lu Wu left here to guard the gate of the amusement park.
Gu Wang was speechless when he saw it for the first time. Even the real Fengdu would not be so extravagant as to use red lotus fire to guard the gate, right?
This Lord of the Underworld has the air of a spendthrift who is easily deceived.
If you continue walking inside, you will reach the main entrance of the amusement park.
In order to adapt to the expansion of the amusement park, the gate has also become larger: a black stone gate that is more than three meters high, with golden door nails arranged regularly on the upper part, each one is as big as a football.
The lower part is covered with golden python patterns as thick as a human. Whenever tickets need to be checked, the python's head will bulge out and become a snake head as big as a human's head, speaking human language.
It's worth mentioning that, perhaps it's true that when a bird grows big, it will find its way into any forest. Even the gatekeeper of Fengdu Amusement Park has a fan base...
Originally, the little black snake became a gatekeeper in order to see more people and to practice with Gu Wang. But that day, the little black snake told Gu Wang that it felt the power of faith.
Gu Wang:? ?
He wanted to ask you tourists, what are you doing? I won't say anything if you're fan of a toilet, after all, there's a real toilet god in the toilet, but why are you fan of a gate? Why don't you fan of the flowerbed?
It’s also because he didn’t ask on Weibo. If he had asked, someone would have told him: It really exists.
Entering the gate and heading into the amusement park, the gravel roads and various seats remain the same, but the flower beds have been completely transformed.
People from the Provincial Botanical Garden came here before and made fun of the flower bed layout of the amusement park.
When Mr. Li, who had been going to the amusement park to use the restroom every day recently (?), found out about this, he got very angry and volunteered to design a new flower bed for the amusement park.
Gu Wang didn't care about this, so he agreed.
The old man has excellent aesthetic taste and is backed up by professional knowledge. The flower beds he designed are so high-quality that they are worthy of being nominated for awards.
Now that some time has passed, the flowers and plants in the flower beds have grown and have really attracted a lot of attention.
It is said that laymen see the excitement while experts see the details. Ordinary tourists only think that the greening in the amusement park is different from that elsewhere and looks beautiful, but professionals are amazed after seeing it.
Sometimes when Gu Wang was patrolling the garden, he would see people holding SLR cameras and lying by the flower beds looking at them for the whole day.
In addition to these, some planning has also been done for the amusement park scene. After all, the area is larger and not as cramped as before.
In short, the current Fengdu is so beautiful that one would exclaim "What a paradise on earth!" at first sight.
After Xu Mengru's fans got off the bus, the girl in charge of organizing them reminded them, "Everyone line up to buy tickets. Don't make any noise, and be polite. After entering the park, let's go to the beauty salon first. Those who want to try out the treatments can try them out."
But please note that beauty treatments like this definitely take time to work. You won’t see any results after one or two treatments. My sister must have been treated for a while before she was better. Don’t have too high expectations, and don’t talk nonsense online.”
The girls all nodded, "Don't worry, we won't cause any trouble for our sister. She said the amusement park gave her a new life!"
The organizer breathed a sigh of relief, as everyone in their group was pretty nice.
After waiting in line to enter the amusement park and then entering the beauty salon, and finishing their work under the green-haired old man, the fans: They looked at their faces in the mirror and couldn't believe it: "Wait, where's my pimple? Where's my big pimple that just appeared yesterday?"
"What about the slow results? Are you saying a thirty-minute project is too long?"
"Oh my god! Is this what my face looks like without acne scars? I'm so damn beautiful!"
It’s not that they are ignorant, it’s just that this beauty salon really gave them a huge surprise!
No wonder their idols can get their faces cured here, no wonder they say this is a new place, they finally understand.
They are all young girls, and they chatter non-stop. Not only do they talk, they also post online, on their Moments, and show off to their good friends... They have successfully added fuel to the fire under related topics on the Internet.
And in the provincial capital, in a special residential area.
A haggard-looking woman woke up from her sleep and said in panic, "I... I dreamed of Xiao Rui. He was injured and had no food to eat. He asked me to take him home..."
Her husband hugged her and said sadly, "It's okay, it was just a dream... Xiao Rui must have been adopted by a kind person and has enough food and clothes to eat."
The woman held his hand, tears streaming down her face. "No news about Xiao Rui yet?"
The husband comforted her, "It will be soon. The police are investigating, and the family is also looking for him. We will be able to take him home soon."
The woman fell silent, but she knew in her heart how much power a family like theirs would have to mobilize. In this situation, if they hadn't found it after searching for so long, it was very likely...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and buried the fear deep in her heart, just holding on to that fragile hope and waiting hard.
The husband wanted to divert her attention and said in a deliberately light tone: "Look, I just saw this on the Internet."
He showed the screen. "This amusement park is really strange. They actually opened a beauty salon. It just so happens that you like beauty salons and Xiao Rui likes amusement parks. Later, we will bring Xiao Rui here and make you both happy."
The woman forced a smile and her eyes calmed down. This "later" gave her some courage.
She read the news carefully and suddenly said, "Why don't we go now? Yaoguang City hasn't been searched yet, right?"
The husband hesitated, "But previous clues showed that Xiao Rui was taken to Kyoto..."
"But we haven't found him in Kyoto." His wife's expression became firm. "I don't want to wait at home anymore. We are his parents. We will go and bring him back ourselves, starting from Yaoguang City."
In fact, she had felt something was amiss the moment she found out Xiao Rui had been taken to Kyoto. Perhaps it was a mother's sixth sense, but she always felt her son wasn't in that direction. But since she had a clear clue, she didn't say anything.
Now, since she couldn't find the person according to the clues, she might as well look for him according to her feelings.
The husband was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's go to Yaoguang City."
What he didn't mention was that the higher-ups were also taking this case seriously. It wasn't because of his family background, but rather that during their investigation, they discovered some traces of occult techniques in the case. They had already dispatched special personnel to investigate.
At this time, it would be useless for them to wait at home, so it would be nice for the wife to go out and relax.
The couple were hiding things from each other, but the distance between them grew closer.
In the amusement park, Gu Wang found that the number of visitors had increased recently. When he tried to find out the reason, he saw the hot searches online.
Seeing the Weibo post by Xu Mengru, he smiled slightly.
He had seen before that after Xu Mengru overcame this crisis, her future career would be bright.
It is always a pleasure to get rewards after helping others. Gu Wang fell asleep with a smile on his face, and then dreamed of his master again.
In the dream, his master was in better condition than the last time. He looked younger than when he was ten years old. He was wearing the green robe that he had burned, and his cheeks were rosy.
Upon seeing him, the master stroked his beard and said, "I was supposed to be waiting for my reincarnation in the City of the Dead, but I was recently transferred to the inner city of Fengdu, where I work as a clerk. It's a place where I can gain some merit. Furthermore, the ghostly energy here is abundant, which is beneficial to the soul and makes it very comfortable! Now that I'm using the power of the underworld messenger, it will be easier for me to send you dreams in the future!"
"But I later heard that it was the Lord of the Underworld who ordered me to be transferred here. Disciple, do you have any idea?"
Gu Wang was stunned for a moment, "Ah, maybe there is..."
Did Lu Wu transfer his master to the inner city? It sounds like he's been there for a while, and he didn't even tell him...
The master smiled and said, "I once taught you that the most important thing about friendship is sincerity, and that a gentleman is someone who repays kindness with kindness. Do you remember?"
Gu Wang bowed respectfully, "I know, Master."
After waking up, the moon was at its zenith outside, and the yin energy was at its heaviest.
Gu Wang is still recalling this dream.
Thinking carefully, Lu Wu was capable of transferring his master to the inner city. For some reason, Lu Wu always helped him secretly, as if he owed him something.
He also remembered what his master said. He was just ten years old at that time. One day, he went down the mountain with his master and saw the children at the foot of the mountain gathered together to play and call their friends. He curiously asked his master why he had no friends.
The master said these words to him.
He still remembered that day, his master bought him a candied haws. In the afternoon, he took the candied haws and practiced formations in the back mountain. Later...
What happened later?
Gu Wang rubbed his head. He even remembered that the formation they practiced at that time was the formation to eliminate evil spirits, and he also remembered that dinner that night was chicken rack stewed with cabbage, but he could not remember what happened in between.
What about the candied haws? Did he eat it? Why can't he remember the taste?
He has had a good memory since he was a child. It was his first time eating candied haws, so he should have been deeply impressed.
Just as he was thinking, something suddenly caught his attention. The golden patterns on his body were running around like crazy!
Normally, Lu Wubu could control the golden pattern, and it would swim freely like a small fish, but never at such a fast speed.
Lu Wu has a calm personality and would not do such a thing... So, what happened?
Gu Wang carefully felt the golden pattern, but could only sense a faint aura of the underworld, as if accompanied by boundless pain...
He suddenly opened his eyes. Something happened to Lu Wu? !
He closed his eyes again, not caring about anything else. Everyone in the garden was there, except Lu Wu and his servant. Gu Wang dodged and came to Lu Wu's room. On the table was a note with a cold handwriting: "If you have something to deal with, go back to the underworld. Don't worry."
Gu Wang put the note into his arms, wrote a talisman in the air, and chanted: "The divine power of the eight directions makes me natural; the spiritual treasure talisman commands, obey my orders; announce to the nine heavens, the road to the underworld is long... open!"
A black space opened up, and a faint breath of the underworld came from it. This was a road leading to the underworld.
Usually, Gu Wang opened the passage to the underworld to save the souls that could not go to the underworld on their own. However, this time, he lowered his head and wanted to go in himself.
But he felt an obstruction, and under this obstruction, the passage was immediately closed.
This was Heaven's will to stop him. The underworld and the human world were not connected to each other. As a living soul, Gu Wang's desire to enter the underworld was an act against Heaven, not to mention that he would die if he entered, and his living soul would become a dead soul.
Gu Wang raised his head coldly and glanced at the sky.
Then he grabbed the engineering shovel beside him, and without even reciting the incantation, he combined his own Yin Qi and spiritual energy, injected it into the shovel, and chopped it down in the air: "Open!"
The engineer shovel that had been following Gu Wang for who knows how long could not withstand the pressure from both sides and broke into pieces of iron, but the passage was opened instantly.
Gu Wang stepped in without hesitation.
Suddenly, a purple lightning flashed from the sky, and the huge thunder woke up half of the people in Yaoguang City, but there was no one there anymore.
The author has something to say:
Engineers - Soldiers - Shovel -
