Chapter 41



When Gu Zhisang arrived at the crew, Yu Tongqiu was opposite filming the movie star Yang Qi, who played the male lead in "Floating Sea Legend", and director Liu Jin was supervising.

Seeing her coming, Liu Jin stood up and walked over, "Master Gu is here."

Gu Zhisang: ...

"Director Liu, please call me by my name."

Liu Jin also felt that it was weird to call someone "Master" in the crew, so he said, "I'm much older than you, so I'll call you Sangsang like Tong Qiu. The makeup artist is already waiting backstage. Have you read the script?"

“I have.”

Before Gu Zhisang could say anything, a yellow talisman paper figure attached to her shoulder suddenly moved and waved towards Liu Jin;

The faint reply actually came from the body of its paper man!

If other people noticed this scene, they would definitely find it a little scary.

Because Liu Jin actually called out "Mom" to a paper figure!

Dong Ying, who was in the paper figure, said, "Sangsang has been very diligent these days, studying the script every day. She is also very quick to understand, and it's not as exaggerated as what people say online."

Liu Jin was a little surprised when he heard this.

His attitude towards filming and actors' extreme acting skills is actually inherited from his mother Dong Ying.

Knowing his mother's character well, Liu Jin couldn't help but felt a little curious when he heard her praising Gu Zhisang.

Liu Jin said to Gu Zhisang, "Then go and try the makeup first. If you don't like it the first time, you can change it."

Gu Zhisang nodded and went backstage.

On the stage, Yu Tongqiu and Yang Qi are acting opposite each other.

This scene is the first time that the male and female protagonists clash because of their positions. The emotional changes must be delicate and full. Even though both of them are movie queens and movie emperors with superb acting skills, it still took several takes to pass due to Director Liu's nitpicking.

"Cut! Passed."

After waiting for a long time until the director was satisfied, Yang Qi took off the slings of coercion, took the towel handed to him by the assistant and wiped his sweat, "Just now I saw a commotion downstairs, who's here?"

The assistant said, "I heard that Gu Zhisang is back. Her makeup photos have been delayed for a long time. She has been away from the crew for more than a month and it really can't be delayed any longer."

"I originally thought that after she got hurt, her role as the female No. 4 would definitely be over, but I didn't expect that she not only made a comeback with her new character, but also defeated Qian Zheng! People in the circle have misjudged her. She is a tough character."

Everyone in the circle has heard about Qian Zheng's fate.

After being reported by his artists under their real names, not only did his reputation become ruined, but he was also fired by his agency.

He had already become a lost dog, and who would have thought that he would be arrested by the police. The video of him being taken away on the day was filmed by his neighbor and posted online.

In the video, Qian Zheng's face was as dry as bark, his hair had all fallen out, and he was swearing while struggling;

It is said that he was not only found to have forced pimping, but was also suspected of murder.

For a time, the entire network despised him, and other people in the circle who had raised little ghosts in private were also frightened when they saw him being backfired and turned into a half-human ghost.

The assistant lowered his voice and said to Yang Qi, "You have also seen those videos, they are really weird. Do you think that Gu Zhisang really understands metaphysics?"

"How should I know?" Yang Qi said helplessly, "I only know that once she comes back, the peaceful days of the crew will come to an end."

Yu Tongqiu, who was passing by, happened to hear this and disagreed:

"Brother Qi, you'll know if you spend more time with Sangsang. She's actually a very nice person."

Yang Qi was a little surprised. "You have a really good relationship with her? I thought it was a marketing campaign by your company."

Now he was really curious about how Gu Zhisang had turned around his online reputation and captured the heart of actress Yu in just over a month.

He shrugged and headed for the lounge area. "I hope so."

An hour later, just when Liu Jin thought she should finish putting on her makeup, bursts of noise came from the backstage.

He turned around and his gaze stopped.

In the sight, there is a slender beauty wearing a red dress and draped with white feathers. There is a red mark between her eyebrows that is so dazzling that it makes people speechless for a moment.

When the woman approached slowly, Liu Jin felt as if Yu Jing in the book had come alive. All the words in the book that described Yu Jing's beautiful appearance were fully reflected in Gu Zhisang at this moment.

Her phoenix eyes were drawn longer, and just by standing there, it was enough to convince people that she was the most beautiful woman in the Thirteen Continents in "The Legend of the Floating Sea".

The other crew members were also stunned.

To be honest, they have always known that Gu Zhisang is beautiful, but perhaps there was something missing in her eyes before, and she always lacked the feeling that could amaze people.

Feeling the gazes from all around, Gu Zhisang frowned slightly and looked at himself, "Strange?"

To be honest, this was the first time she wore such fancy clothes and so many pearl hairpins, and the wig on her head was a bit heavy on her neck.

The makeup artist behind him was so excited that her eyes sparkled. "What's so strange about that? Your makeup is simply the most perfect 'work' of my career! Of course, it's because Sister Sang has such a good foundation."

"How is it, Director? Is it Yu Jing?"

Even Liu Jin, who pursues details to the extreme, nodded and said, "It's a very good painting. We can directly take the final makeup photo after finishing the details."

The fourth female character, Yu Jing, doesn't have too many scenes, but she appears throughout the whole story.

As the ruler of a continent, she is strong and calm, with a beautiful appearance. After being deceived by her beloved, she did not fall in love, but directly killed the lover who betrayed her, and continued to advance to swallow up neighboring countries and expand her territory.

From the perspective of the protagonists, she is the villain who started the war and almost wiped out the protagonists several times in the early stages.

However, because of her decisiveness and great skill in killing, she has always been a very popular female character in the book.

When it was confirmed that the series would be adapted, a large number of fans were very resistant.

They believed that no one could perform Yu Jing's aura, and no artist could be as beautiful and peerless as in the book. After the casting was announced, the fans' voices of opposition were overwhelming.

Because they think that Gu Zhisang, apart from having a face, cannot portray Yu Jing's temperament.

But at this time, Liu Jin, who was standing behind the camera, looked at the woman on the throne in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Can a person really change into two different people in a short period of time?

The set design of this drama is so exquisite that the scenery and style of the thirteen continents in the book are completely different. Liu Jin even specially had someone build thirteen Iron Thrones with completely different styles according to the description in the book.

At this time, Gu Zhisang was leaning on the throne, cooperating with the lighting technician and photographer by lowering and raising his eyes. His every move gave people a sense of contempt.

The photographer kept pressing the shutter button excitedly: "Turn your face slightly to the side, and you can pose with the sword..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Zhisang looked at the iron sword placed at his feet, hooked the sword with his toes and lifted it up, then steadily caught the hilt in his palm.

She made a sword flower with her backhand, "Like this?"

Cameraman: !!!

"Yes, yes, that's amazing, Director Liu. Xiao Gu has been participating in the metaphysics program for a month, and his skills have become even better! I guess you hired a martial arts director for him, right?"

The originally scheduled shooting time was one afternoon, but more than an hour later Liu Jin received the finished film from the camera.

To put it in the cameraman's terms, there was nothing much to do with Gu Zhisang's face.

Before, her body movements were too stiff and rigid when facing the camera, which made her look weird no matter how you looked at her. Now that she has 'let go', her spirit has come out, and every photo can be used as an official makeup photo.

Looking at the time, Liu Jin suddenly said, "It's still early now. The first scene in the script just so happens to be this makeup. Why don't we take a shot now to try it out and get a feel for it?"

Gu Zhisang had no objection, so Liu Jin immediately arranged for staff to set up the scene and prepare for the filming.

He called a stagehand and said, "Go and inform Mr. Yang and Ms. Yu. Since everyone is here, we may have to shoot an extra scene today, let's shoot the 37th scene."

Yang Qi was confused after receiving the notice. He looked at the script in his hand with some hesitation:

"This scene is so important, and we haven't rehearsed it before. Isn't it too much of a joke for Director Liu to shoot it today? Will it be done until nine or ten o'clock in the evening?"

The assistant asked curiously, "Which one?"

"The scene when I first met Yu Jing."

In the original novel of "Floating Sea Legend", when the protagonists were summoned for the first time and met the then ruthless ruler Yu Jing, they originally wanted to persuade her to stop her from sending troops to attack the surrounding countries;

But when they, who were still young and inexperienced, saw the person on the throne, they were all shocked by Yu Jing's aura.

They were lobbyists, but were ultimately silenced by Yu Jing.

The reason why this scene is important is that the failure in the first meeting with Yu Jing is the first blow to the protagonists' psychological journey, and it is also an opportunity for their growth.

The kind of compelling aura described in the book cannot be acted out simply by sternly looking at someone.

If 'Yu Jing' didn't have enough aura, then her so-called ability to intimidate the protagonists would become a joke.

Yang Qi had seen Gu Zhisang's acting and lines before. Director Liu had to teach him several sentences repeatedly, and his movements had to be precise. It was really hard for him to imagine how Gu Zhisang could perform coherently in such a segment that requires extremely high acting skills.

The assistant was also a little surprised and said, "I guess Director Liu just wants to practice in advance. You don't have to take it too seriously. Just act with her."

Yang Qi thought so too.

Since the protagonists in the early stage were still from grassroots backgrounds and looked a little down and out, their makeup and hair only needed slight modifications and it didn't take too much time.

He rehearsed the lines with Yu Tongqiu and other supporting actors, and when Liu Jin said to start, they walked towards the "Zhou Mansion".

Surrounded by cameras, Yang Qi was acting and reciting his lines while thinking:

"It was shot in one take. Director Liu was just trying to find the feeling, right?"

When the protagonists walked into the hall and headed towards the throne in the center, Yang Qi saw a hint of red above the throne from afar.

The woman was wearing a rich red dress with hollow white feathers draped over her shoulders. The light and shadow contrast deliberately created by Liu Jin gave a strong sense of conflict in color. The face of the dozing continent master, Yu Jing, was almost hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.

Yang Qi muttered to himself, no wonder Director Liu is an internationally renowned director, at first glance this picture has a really strong sense of atmosphere.

At this time, he still held a somewhat nonchalant attitude, bowed to Yu Jing above and recited the lines:

"Greetings, Lord of the Continent. I am from the East Continent..."

As he was speaking, the person on the throne heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes.

She moved her shoulders and neck, and the tassels against the side of her face swayed gently. When she raised her head, her pair of cold and sharp phoenix eyes swept over the boy and girl below.

At this moment, the aura around him seemed to begin to flow. Perhaps it was because the pupils were too deep and dark. Yang Qi even had a physical sense of being stared at by a wild beast. An indescribable feeling rushed from his bones to his scalp.

Yang Qi was out of control for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

His fans have edited many videos of the characters he has played, saying that his acting is so good that it seems like he came out of a book.

He himself felt this way at this moment.

Yu Jing, the beautiful superior who disrupted the Thirteen Continents in the book, was like an awakened lion. She looked at these young boys calmly and lazily, listening to their ridiculous and pale dissuasions.

And this tangible feeling of oppression actually came from Gu Zhisang, whom he secretly looked down upon!

The stagehands and director on the side were gesticulating wildly. Yang Qi suddenly came to his senses, lowered his head, bowed, and continued to speak his lines.

Although his superb acting skills and good reaction ability allowed him to speak at a normal speed, only Yang Qi himself understood that he had just been suppressed.

No matter what the reason is, he, an actor who has won three major awards, almost failed while acting with a new actor. This is something that is embarrassing to tell others!

The filming was still going on, but Yang Qi seemed a little absent-minded.

Liu Jin saw his problem, raised his hand, called him to stop, and called him over.

When Yang Qi went over, he saw the assistant director and others were playing the tape of the footage that had just been shot. The screen showed a close-up shot taken with another camera that was facing directly at Gu Zhisang.

From the moment she looked up nonchalantly upon hearing the voice, to the entire process of talking to the protagonists, her 'acting' was extremely natural.

Gu Zhisang's facial features are magnified in the camera, but it does not reduce his beauty at all. Instead, it makes the impact stronger.

Her eyes and brows were particularly oppressive when they were cold, and some of her subtle expressions, reactions, and the tone of her voice were all so natural, as if she was born to be a superior who ruled over an entire continent and should be so noble and proud.

The more he looked at Yang Qi, the more frightened he became.

At this time, Liu Jin spoke up: "Yang Qi, what happened to you just now? Why did you act out the dialogue scenes later like that?"

Yang Qi found it difficult to speak, but Liu Jin understood what he meant because he was also shocked.

Gu Zhisang looked at her through the screen and felt that she had noble and powerful acting skills. Who said she had no acting skills? Didn't the previous directors know to ask someone to teach her?

Liu Jin said, "Yang Qi, you are already a veteran actor, why do you go backwards in your thinking the more you act? Isn't it normal to reshoot? Newcomers are making progress, and we can't fall behind."

Yang Qi slowly came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. It was indeed because he was being too stubborn.

At this moment, his inner opinion of Gu Zhisang had completely changed.

Yang Qi felt that Gu Zhisang must have been working hard in seclusion for the past month to improve his acting skills, as his acting skills improved so quickly in such a short period of time.

Yu Tongqiu was right indeed. This Gu Zhisang was indeed not what people said on the Internet.

As an old hand in the circle, I have become complacent and lazy due to some achievements I have made over the years. My mentality has become so impetuous. If I continue like this, I will be surpassed by the newcomers!

Yang Qi said, "Director Liu, I really didn't catch the scene just now. How about we do it again? I promise to be in good condition this time."

Liu Jin waved his hand and smiled, "There's no need to reshoot the first meeting scene. Your most genuine reaction of surprise is actually better than acting. This is how the protagonist should react when he first meets Yu Jing. Don't worry, it's not out of character or exaggerated at all."

"But the rest of the conversation has to be done again."

Soon Yang Qi got back into the role, and after several pauses and revisions, this very important scene was successfully filmed.

Gu Zhisang, who was relieved, heard someone calling him before he found a place to sit down.

She turned around and saw the senior actor in the crew, who was looking admiring and pleased, and said to herself, "Xiao Gu, you acted really well. It would be great if there were more young actors in the industry who were willing to endure hardships and work hard like you!"

Gu Zhisang: ...?

Dong Ying, who had reattached the yellow paper figure to his shoulder, also said, "Sangsang, you performed very well in that scene just now. In fact, you have great talent!"

The system in my mind laughed so hard that it hiccuped, because it was the only one that knew that Gu Zhisang was not acting at all.

In her previous life, she was the master of Xuanmen, a person in power;

She is also a rare genius in metaphysics, who successfully overcomes the calamity at the last minute. The entire Xuanmen has to respect her as the leader. She is just playing her true self.

In addition, she is a scholar who has entered the field of metaphysics. Her breath and the aura around her are calmer and sharper than those of ordinary people. Normally, she holds back her strength so as not to affect others.

When filming, she only needs to release a little, and the aura that is difficult to show through acting will appear naturally.

After filming a few more scenes and finishing all the makeup scenes, Liu Jin and others were pleasantly surprised to find that once Gu Zhisang entered the "drama sense" of a superior, he would not be as easily distracted from the role as other actors.

Her performance has been impeccable in several consecutive games.

So, without Gu Zhisang knowing, Liu Jin and the director team had a drastic change in their impression of her and had already classified her as a new talent.

After Gu Zhisang cleaned off the makeup on her face and changed back into her normal clothes, Liu Jin walked over with a smile and said:

"Sangsang, you've worked hard today. Your efficiency is one of the fastest among all the actors I've directed! This shows that you are really talented."

Gu Zhisang: "...No, Director Liu is overpraising you."

"I'm here to discuss with you the issue of the later filming schedule. Actually, Yu Jing's scenes are divided into time modules, and it is most convenient to shoot the entire period of scenes in the same time period." Liu Jin said:

"There is a plot later that will insert Yu Jing's youth, which is about her past with her childhood sweetheart, and the pain and despair when she was betrayed. What do you think about shooting this part first?"

Gu Zhisang said earnestly: "Director Liu, I don't think it's possible."

Liu Jin has great confidence in her acting skills. "Don't underestimate yourself. You have a really good understanding! Why don't you try it first?"

He also found the actor who played Yu Jing's childhood sweetheart to act opposite Gu Zhisang.

Ten minutes later, Liu Jin and the supporting actor looked at each other in silence.

Gu Zhisang was also helpless. The Lord of Xuanmen, who was so trustworthy and cared so much about contracts, actually had the idea of ​​tearing up the contract and going on strike.

She has lived for three hundred years devoted to Taoism. She really doesn't know what it means to love someone, nor does she know what it feels like to turn love into hate. It's no wonder that Liu Jin looked weird and said that this was the driest love scene he had ever seen.

After the male supporting actor left with a wry smile, Dong Ying on Gu Zhisang's shoulder comforted him:

"Sangsang is young and has never been in a relationship. How can she know how to act if she has never experienced it? Give her some time to figure it out."

Liu Jin thought about it and felt that it was right, "Then you should go back and watch a few more sadomasochistic movies and get the feeling as soon as possible."

In the evening of the same day, the official Big Eyes account of the "Floating Sea Legend" program team released a new blog post.

There are only two photos, and a female artist is tagged.

[Official V of the crew of "The Legend of the Floating Sea": Yu Jing is here~@顾之桑-gzs (picture) (picture)]

"Legend of the Sea" itself is an S+ level super blockbuster, with the support of famous directors and various big names. In addition, the behind-the-scenes footage and Reuters that have been broadcast in the past period of time have attracted much attention due to the good choice of actors and the exquisite costumes and props. It is the most anticipated new drama in the second half of the year.

Both book fans and actor fans are very numerous and active.

The drama has just started filming, and various super topics and platform check-ins have been established, and the discussion level is not low.

As soon as the final makeup photo of the fourth female star, which had not been released for a long time, was uploaded, she quickly attracted a lot of attention and was at the top of the hot searches because she was a female star with a lot of traffic recently.

Many passers-by who wanted to make fun of the book, as well as book fans who were eager to criticize others, clicked on the photo and did almost the same thing.

He was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he repeatedly enlarged the photo, and finally he pressed and held the screen and clicked save.

[Brothers, I have betrayed you. My wife Yu Jing is so beautiful. I will criticize anyone who criticizes her. 】

[? ? Is this Yu Jing? Didn’t they always say in the previous super topic that the actors they chose didn’t look like them? It made me angry. What’s going on now? How beautiful do the fans have to be to be worthy of them…]

[Emmmm, I have to say that Gu Zhisang's face is really amazing. I hate her so much, but I was surprised by her makeup photos. But to be honest, her acting skills are too bad. I really can't bring her into the role of the powerful and intelligent Yu Jing. ]

[Acting skills are more important than looks, but that’s not acceptable! ]

【……】

There are two trends under hot searches.

The first type is passers-by and those who love beauty. They are completely stunned by these two stunning makeup photos and are busy screaming and licking their faces.

Another group of book fans who still remain rational continue to boycott the book on the grounds that Gu Zhisang's acting is too poor.

Just then, the official Weibo account released another blog post, this time it was a short video.

[Official V of the crew of "Floating Sea Legend": A little behind-the-scenes footage of Yu Jing~@顾之桑-gzs]

Netizens who were on the hot search list clicked on the video and were shocked by the beauty in red clothes and white feathers as soon as they entered.

The beginning of the video shows Yu Jing opening her eyes from the throne and looking coldly at the protagonists.

Through the screen, her pair of delicate and sharp phoenix eyes were slightly raised, which made people feel shocked even through the screen.

The camera flickered, and Yu Jing stood up from the throne and walked to the back of the house.

The red and white skirt swayed behind her. She paused and turned her head. The camera from bottom to top captured the corners of her lips curling up in a playful arc, with a look of slight disdain:

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

The screen went black amid the sound of drum beats, and the crew's logo appeared on the screen.

'The fantasy drama "Floating Sea Legend", please look forward to it.'

[Ahhh, that look is killing me. Who said Gu Zhisang has no acting skills? ? Come out and apologize! I believed it and scolded my wife for two months! ]

[The animation is really amazing, book fans have nothing to say. If Gu Zhisang can maintain the level of these clips and play Yu Jing, I will be her die-hard fan! ]

[Wait, isn’t the person I follow a metaphysics blogger? Why is he filming a movie? (dog head)]

[Did Gu Zhisang secretly go to an acting class? This change is too big! ]

[Haha, I checked the super topic and found that I was not the only one who turned against them.]

At the same time, the underworld

A famous hacker and network information security engineer in the world who passed away some time ago was hired by the underworld and the Palace of Hades and became an engineering ghost in charge of maintaining and developing the underworld's network.

After a period of start-up and maintenance, the ghosts in the underworld just launched a new entertainment business three days ago.

The underworld network can now reach Big Eyes!

Although the like and comment functions are still not very functional, at least you can see a lot of new entertainment information.

At this rate, in three to five years, it will be just around the corner for the underworld to be able to play games and watch online dramas.

In the new underworld version of Big Eyes, Gu Zhisang’s number of fans in the world of the living has just reached tens of millions, and in the underworld version it is shown that the number has exceeded 200 million.

And because it has just been opened, most of the ghosts are often stuck and unable to get in, and the number is increasing rapidly with each refresh.

In addition to her, those who top the list of fans of the underworld version of Big Eyes are also contestants from the "Spiritual Affairs" program.

Currently, the second person with the most fans in the underworld is Zou Wuchang Xi Haihong, who has more than 60 million fans.

You should know that Xi Haihong only has a little over three million fans in the world.

After seeing the official announcement from the production team of "The Legend of the Floating Sea", many ghost fans understood a new term: film and television drama.

"Master Gu, it's so beautiful. This red dress is even more beautiful than a wedding dress."

"The living people in the world call her Sangsang, and they say they want to support her drama. We ghosts outnumber them by hundreds of times, so we're no worse than the living people, right?"

"I'm so envious that they can watch this show. I also want to watch Master Gu! Can the Hades Palace be done faster?"

"There's a guy who keeps cursing Master Gu. Brothers from the underworld, go scare him in his dream tomorrow night!"

“…”

Amid the hustle and bustle, a little ghost messenger wearing a gray official hat hurried to the Hades Palace, "Report, report to the master!"

The person on duty in the Hades Hall today is the King Chu Jiang of the Second Hall. He has a straight nose and thick eyebrows. He stares at the flustered ghost at the door of the hall with a sharp gaze and says:

"You little devil, how can you make such a fuss in the King of Hell's Palace?"

Yinchai's already pale face turned even paler when he saw King Chujiang, and his body was shaking.

No wonder it was afraid, because King Chujiang was the King of Hell with the strictest laws and the most brutal methods among the Ten Kings of Hell.

It is in charge of the living hell. The underworld it controls is eight thousand miles long and wide. The icy cold can make ghosts suffer.

There are also sixteen small hells set up inside, which are specifically for those vicious and evil people who committed countless sins during their lifetime and refused to repent even after their death.

Those who are whipped by it are the most evil ghosts among the fierce ghosts.

Seeing the little envoy trembling, King Chujiang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The ghost messenger trembled and said, "Report, report to the king, the ghosts in the underworld want to report to the King of Hell. They are very dissatisfied with the infrastructure of the underworld... There are too many ghosts."

King Chu Jiang said unhappily, "Hasn't he already found a technical ghost to pass on information from the human world to them?"

"They complain that the speed is too slow and the variety is too limited." The ghost said boldly, "The ghosts are protesting, they want to watch the play performed by Gu Zhisang!"

King Chujiang: ...

——

Gu Zhisang, who was experiencing the filming of a female artist for the first time, was miserable. She didn't know that on the other side of the world, a group of fanatical ghosts went to the underworld to complain in order to watch it.

She returned to her apartment with a blank expression on her face, feeling that this afternoon was more tiring than catching ghosts for three days and three nights.

Dong Ying had already jumped from her shoulder to the coffee table and asked:

"Sangsang has never been in a relationship, so do you have someone you like? Have you ever had a crush on anyone since you were a child?"

Gu Zhisang: “No.”

She has lived in the mountains since she was born. The only living person around her is her master. She was ruthless and desireless until she passed away.

Dong Ying: "That's right, you are so beautiful that you must have been like a doll since childhood. Only other people like you, so it's not realistic for you to have a crush on someone else..."

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever felt very painful? For example, the sadness you felt when the person most important to you passed away, or when you hated someone very much, the feelings are universal."

Gu Zhisang was a little embarrassed.

Because she found that she didn't have any of the things Dong Ying said.

Her master, Taoist Junhong, opened up the Xuanmen school and was the founder of a new system, a person of great merit.

Although he was unable to successfully reach the state of transcending tribulation when his life span ended, his soul returned to the immortal palace after he passed away. He is probably still living as an idle ghost immortal in heaven now, and is much happier than his disciple.

Knowing where his master had gone, Taoist Junhong was in a peaceful and cheerful mood when he passed away. Gu Zhisang felt a little reluctant but not sad.

The latter is even simpler and more brutal.

As a rare genius in the Xuanmen sect, Gu Zhisang has no one to hate.

When she was young, she had a bad temper and was very sharp-edged, especially when she was rectifying the Xuanmen sect. She carried out drastic reforms on those undisciplined sects and Xuan masters with shady interests. At that time, her reputation in the Xuanmen sect was always "the evil spirit".

Most of the people she disliked were not good people, and she killed them all.

Gu Zhisang knew that there were many people who hated him, but they did not dare to show it because they could not beat him and dared not speak out.

Those who dared to speak out were also destroyed by themselves.

So she shook her head honestly and said, "Really not."

Dong Ying choked and felt that the situation was a little tricky.

After more than a month of getting along, it also discovered that Gu Zhisang's empathy ability was not strong, and he was even a little indifferent. Such a person would be at a disadvantage when acting in a scene with rich emotions.

It thought for a long time and came up with something, then said, "Then think about your very close friends, the ones who treat you very well and whom you cherish very much."

Gu Zhisang frowned and was about to say that he had no friends, but an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and someone's face appeared.

There is indeed such a person in my memory who is a very good friend to me...

Seeing her expression relax, Dong Ying thought there was something going on, and hurriedly added: "But he betrayed you and did something very sorry for you that you couldn't accept."

Gu Zhisang thought to himself: If it was that person, he wouldn't be able to do anything bad.

Because he was the most shameless and servile person she had ever seen in her life.

This assumption is also not true.

Dong Ying said, "By the way, Sangsang, don't you still have half a ghost tear? I heard that ghost tears contain the most extreme emotions and pain of ghosts. If they are used by people, they can make them see the scenes they want to see and create an illusion. Why don't you try using that half ghost tear?"

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zhisang refused.

With her current soul strength, it is difficult for Ghost Tears to affect her.

If possible, she would like to look back on the past. The aftereffects of the heavenly thunder calamity made her memory of the last few years of her previous life a little vague.

If I remember correctly, that guy was on a nearby hill when she failed to survive the tribulation.

I don’t know whether that person collected my body after I died, or whether he went down the mountain and returned to the palace.

Just as I was thinking about the past, my cell phone suddenly rang.

Gu Zhisang took a look and found that the person who called her was the director of the Rongcheng branch of the Ling Group: Zheng Ruyu.

They haven't had any contact since they declined the invitation from the Spirit Group last time.

Gu Zhisang answered the phone, and Zheng Ruyu's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding quite anxious:

"Miss Gu? Sorry to disturb you. The imperial tomb you discovered in Poshan has entered the mining stage. Now we have encountered some difficult problems. Can you help us deal with them?"

Emperor's Tomb?

Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly, "What happened?"

Zheng Ruyu said, "It's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. Why don't we arrange a place to meet in person?"

"Then just stay downstairs at my house."

Gu Zhisang knew without asking that the people in the Spirit Group must have figured out where she lived, and she was too lazy to put on an act.

After agreeing on a place, the two met downstairs. This time when I saw Zheng Ruyu again, she was still wearing glasses and dressed appropriately, but the anxiety between her brows could not be concealed.

Zheng Ruyu extended her hand, "Thank you Miss Gu for your willingness to help."

"Let me tell you what happened first."

"Okay, actually, we're not asking you for help this time to go down to the tomb..."

According to Zheng Ruyu, when the emperor's tomb in Poshan was excavated, some very evil creatures were indeed raised underground as Gu Zhisang had said.

The spiritual group, who had prepared in advance, did not panic. They first sealed the four sides of the tomb with talismans.

Because there are villagers around Poshan, and there are endless mountains everywhere. If the thing is not successfully dealt with and instead runs into the mountains, the surrounding mountain people will suffer, and it will definitely be difficult to capture it.

They took a conservative approach, controlling the situation first and waiting for experts from headquarters to arrive and deal with it.

Everything was going well, but who would have thought that a big problem would occur yesterday!

Zheng Ruyu said, "Miss Gu also knows that the tomb owner is of noble status. Among the burial objects are many gold and silver treasures, as well as national treasures. They are of great research value, and each one is a rare treasure."

"However, during the excavation process, we found a burial object placed on the tomb owner's heart, which can be said to be the most important item for the tomb owner."

"We didn't know what it was at first, until archaeological experts found a golden scroll in the tomb. After deciphering it, we learned that this scroll was written by the Feng Shui master who built the tomb. It records the origin of this precious burial object and also contains a historical legend that is unknown in the archaeological and historical circles today. Everyone who saw the contents of the scroll was shocked and suspicious..."

Zheng Ruyu seemed to be recalling the contents of the booklet, and her expression could not hide her surprise.

She came back to her senses and looked at Gu Zhisang. "The burial object placed on the tomb owner's heart is a jade finger bone from eight hundred years ago. Although it is a human finger, it is white and transparent like the finest white jade."

"According to the Feng Shui master, this finger bone is the little finger bone of a very famous scholar and a great philanthropist in history. It is extremely precious."

Gu Zhisang frowned slightly: "Human bones are like white jade?"

Zheng Ruyu nodded and sighed, "If our people hadn't been there at the time and had seen the finger bone being taken out of the coffin with their own eyes and taken photos as evidence, I wouldn't have believed it. We haven't had time to verify whether it is true or not, because the finger bone was stolen on the night it was excavated - that is, last night!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and pulled up a few photos. "Ms. Gu, please take a look. These are the photos of the jade finger bones taken by the archaeologists in the tomb at the time and the colleagues in the spirit group."

The background of the picture is the bumpy tomb soil, and a crystal clear human finger bone, like mutton-fat jade, is held in the palm of the hand and photographed.

Gu Zhisang had sharp eyes and saw that there was a half mark on it. "What is this?"

Zheng Ruyu slid the photo and said, "It is a pattern engraved on the bone. It should have been carved with a knife. It is in the shape of a very small leaf, and there are ancient characters unique to Xuanmen. Because the Xuanmen characters have been lost for a long time, we don't know what this small character is for the time being."

This photo captures the full view of the small words.

Looking at the blurry characters, Gu Zhisang frowned slightly. If she was not mistaken, it was the character "mulberry".

Zheng Ruyu said again:

"We originally thought that the thieves were only after the jade finger bone, but early this morning, the most dangerous creature in the tomb was also released and taken away!"
