Chapter 22



The start time Liu Zheng requested was indeed auspicious, and everything went smoothly for the crew during the subsequent filming.

Except for the few days when the filming was about to be completed, Ji Wan took a leave in advance to go out for the release roadshow of the movie she had previously participated in, and on the way back she suddenly encountered a car accident.

Ji Wan and her group were driving in front and were not affected, but the talisman that Rong Jing had given her suddenly changed color. The originally flexible yellow paper became dry and brittle, and turned into a pool of powder with a slight touch.

When Ji Wan found out, her face turned pale, fearing that she had gotten into trouble with something she shouldn't have. As soon as she returned to the crew, she immediately went to ask Rong Jing with the talisman ashes in her hand.

When she came in, Rong Jing noticed that the dark color between her eyebrows had completely faded away, and he knew that the Zhen Yin Talisman had warded off disaster for her.

"...Rong Jing, I just came back and found that the talisman you gave me has become like this. Is there anything wrong?" Ji Wan was a little nervous. Without waiting for Rong Jing to say anything, she told him everything that had happened to her today in one breath.

When she mentioned that she had a car accident on the way back, Rong Jing lightly brushed the talisman ash with his fingertips, and sure enough, he felt a faint yin energy and a lingering vitality on it.

"It's no big deal." Rong Jing frowned, wiped away the evil spirit casually, threw the talisman ashes into the trash can, and said.

It was just that the ghosts who died in the car accident were too unwilling to give in, and Ji Wan's fate accidentally matched them, so the other party targeted Ji Wan and wanted to take her away.

But the power of the newly dead ghost is often not strong. As soon as it attacked Ji Wan, it was directly suppressed by the Yin-suppressing Talisman given by Rong Jing.

When Ji Wan heard this, she felt scared again.

If it weren't for the Yin-suppressing Talisman that Rong Jing had given her before, she would probably have been killed by that evil spirit.

But thinking about it, Ji Wan's mood became a little low again. When she found out that the cars behind her had a car accident, Ji Wan was afraid that someone was injured, so she asked her assistant to contact the hospital immediately.

But she didn't expect that one of them would die and drag her down with him.

Rong Jing listened quietly, and when he saw that Ji Wan seemed to be getting a little too stubborn, he spoke up and gently said to her, "It was because you were willing to do good things that you were able to avoid this disaster."

She didn't even remember the original owner's name before, but she was willing to introduce resources to the original owner. This was a cause, and because of the original owner, Rong Jing indirectly took on her cause, so she gave her a Yin-suppressing Talisman when they met.

It was thanks to this Zhen Yin Talisman that Ji Wan was able to survive this minor disaster safely.

If she was usually a cunning and mean person who would not do anything without profit, then there would be no causal connection between her and the original owner, and Rong Jing would naturally not help her avoid the disaster because of this causal connection.

Then in the end, Ji Wan would most likely die because of this disaster.

His tone was particularly light, and his amber eyes were as clear and pure as the moon and flowing water, seeming to reflect the deepest turmoil in her heart.

Ji Wan really wanted to ask just now, why she did a good thing, but in the end she was almost killed by the people she helped?

But after Rong Jing said this, she was a little speechless. In fact, Ji Wan had already remembered that the male artist from the same company that she had helped before was actually Rong Jing. Now after hearing what Rong Jing said, she also understood what he meant.

Ji Wan raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile. Just as she was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She couldn't help but look at Rong Jing, and hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

"...What? Okay, I got it. Thank you, Sister Zhou."

Ji Wan hung up the phone and couldn't help but look at Rong Jing, muttering: "...My agent just called me and said that one of the injured passengers in the car accident was my uncle. Because the ambulance arrived in time, the injury was quickly treated and he has woken up now."

Her uncle had been out of town before and came back temporarily this time. He didn't contact her before he came back, so Ji Wan didn't know that one of her relatives was in the car that had the accident.

The agent also said on the phone that her uncle was injured in the head. If the ambulance had not arrived in time, he would have likely suffered brain damage. In more serious cases, he might even become a vegetable.

If she hadn't asked her assistant to contact the hospital in the first place...

Ji Wan suddenly didn't dare to think further.

"Let's go and take a look." Rong Jing said. His expression was as calm as ever, as if he had guessed something, or perhaps, he had already known it.

"...Yeah." Licking her dry lips, Ji Wan said, "Thank you, Rong Jing... Master Rong Tian."

This was her most sincere thanks. After saying this, she was too embarrassed to look at Rong Jing's expression, so she bowed deeply, turned around and trotted to find Liu Zheng to extend her day off.

Hearing that something happened to her family, Liu Zheng couldn't hold her back and let her leave. He loosened his hand and allowed Ji Wan to leave the group. He then called Rong Jing over with a strong sense of righteousness: "Rong Jing, are you ready? It's your turn next time."

Very tyrannical.

Rong Jing had just passed a line. When he heard him calling someone, he lowered his head to drink a sip of water, then stood up and walked into the set.

"The second scene of the 128th scene of "Record of the Heavenly Master" begins!"

The howling wind blew up the intricate and exquisite hem of the silver-haired Taoist priest's clothes.

The slender fingers stretched out from the wide black sleeves, appearing even whiter and more flawless.

Rong Jing - or Ming Yuan, looked up calmly at the cloudless sky, but suddenly an extremely huge golden wheel of mountains and rivers and Bagua unfolded beneath him.

Countless strange and complex patterns and the bright stars, sun and moon were rotating inside, and slowly condensed together with his light and slow movements.

Liu Zheng looked at the footage coming from the monitor and couldn't help but hold his breath.

This scene just happened to capture the moment where Ming Yuan used himself as a chess piece and tried his best to overturn the chessboard set up by Heaven.

In this scene, many things need to be re-synthesized by post-production technology. Because of this, once the actor's movements or expressions are not in place, it is easy to cause the final product to be emotionally fragmented, and the impact of the entire picture is greatly reduced.

Liu Zheng originally thought that even though Rong Jing was a heavenly master, not many people had ever attempted such an act that went against the will of heaven.

Rong Jing’s previous guess was correct. During the creation of the script of "Record of the Heavenly Master", some reference was indeed made to the life of the imperial master of the Zhao Dynasty - so, Rong Jing, who was living in the prosperous era, might not be able to express the kind of momentum of being on the verge of despair but still fearless.

But, but.

Liu Zheng felt his eyelids go cold, he raised his hand to wipe them, and saw that it started raining from the sky without him knowing.

The layers of dark clouds collided and piled up, and almost in an instant, a flash of silver lightning suddenly lit up.

The rumbling thunder sounded like the roar of the deep sea.

Rong Jing was still standing on the top of the mountain, his long silver-white hair fluttering and falling on his dark black robe, even more dazzling than the lightning snake in the sky.

Calm and determined.

It is like a sharp spear or a sharp sword.

Liu Zheng couldn't help but be shocked. For a moment, he felt that if Ming Yuan really existed, he would have a demeanor like this.

He stared at the monitor in silence for a long time. The crew member next to him asked him twice if he wanted to pause and wait for the rain to stop before filming again. His expression was almost anxious. He finally came to his senses and said, "Don't stop! Call another camera crew to go over there and record this segment for me..."

Rong Jing had no idea about the conversation between Liu Zheng and the field staff.

He stood on the top of the mountain in silence, and the scene he saw when he left the mountain flashed before his eyes.

Wars broke out everywhere and people cried together.

He saw that nine out of ten houses along the way were empty, he saw parents exchanging their children for food. He saw the old dynasty's noble families decaying, and he also saw the old royal family enjoying prosperity.

The ragged woman stretched out her withered hands and grabbed the hem of his clothes, with a dying baby in her arms.

Rong Jing remembered a lot of things, and the emotions in his eyes became deeper.

He never regretted using his body as a sword to cut off the destiny of the old royal family - but he didn't know what Heaven would think in the end?

The golden wheel, which only Rong Jing himself could see, flickered under his feet. Tiandao sensed the familiar breath and rolled on the ground, issuing a dull warning.

There was an inexplicable sense of tension in the air.

The staff members watching around couldn't help but slow down their movements for fear of disturbing anything.

——But, what is it?

I don’t know how long it took, but the scene finally ended.

Rong Jing directly dispersed the spiritual energy in his hand, and his emotions gradually withdrew from the past and the script.

"It's going to rain heavily, Teacher Rong, please come in quickly..."

The staff kindly handed Rong Jing a towel. Rong Jing took it and thanked him, then raised his eyes and looked at the sky quietly.

The moment Rong Jing returned to the lounge, a bright flash of lightning struck, earth-shaking thunder sounded, and heavy rain finally fell.

"The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today..."

Liu Zheng looked up at the rain outside and muttered something, then re-watched the video twice and said to himself, "But it was worth it. If it wasn't for this weather, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to shoot that scene."

The assistant director and the crew were all in a hurry to see if the camera equipment was wet. Rong Jing was sitting next to him. Liu Zheng didn't expect him to say anything, but as soon as he finished mumbling, a faint but unignorable "hmm" sounded next to him.

Liu Zheng was stunned, and when he was about to say something he met Rong Jing's gaze, and immediately swallowed back the words that were on his lips: "Your movements today... were also very standard."

Rong Jing: "...Thank you Director Liu for the compliment."

Liu Zheng: Very good, I feel relieved.

There was clearly a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky, but after they sat in the studio for a while, the rain stopped.

Liu Zheng once again lamented how the weather in Beijing had changed so much recently, while asking people to continue preparing for the filming.

Mu Yunzhou vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was probably a coincidence, so he put this doubt behind him.

On the other hand, after visiting her uncle, Ji Wan hurried back to the crew.

A week later, the crew finished filming.

Ji Wan finally found Rong Jing and said, "Master Rong Tian... my uncle wants to see you."

Rong Jing packed his things, lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and looked at her calmly.

The author has something to say:

Rong Jing: Actually, the formation I created was fake, I just made a projection, but the Heavenly Dao didn’t seem to believe me. [Cat tilts his head innocently.jpg]

Tian Dao: “Haha.”

Thanks · Sense of existence is 0 · Xuan Qing: So, where am I? [CEO's gaze.jpg]
