Chapter 17 This is a proper sacrificial dance
"It's okay."
Yun Shu couldn't be happier.
She originally planned to perform a shamanic dance, which comes in several types, including dances specifically for exorcising evil spirits.
“I’ll go backstage with her to prepare. You go to her house first and destroy the ghost statue.”
Yun Shu gave her agent a mineral water bottle filled with bright red chicken blood.
"I was originally going to use this for my performance. You can take it first, then pour it on the ghost statue and burn it with fire."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The agent left immediately, and Yun Shu took Xiao Yutian to the backstage area to change clothes.
Just as Yun Shu was about to take out the props for her, she saw a man walking towards the backstage area, heading straight in their direction.
"Sweetie, are you alright?"
He was Xiao Yutian's boyfriend. He came to her side and looked at her with concern. "Why weren't you saying anything on stage? Are you going to be eliminated?"
Seeing that Xiao Yutian didn't speak, he said again, "Don't be sad. Let's go home first, and I'll take you out for a nice meal to cheer you up. It's okay if you get eliminated; I'll take care of you from now on!"
Yun Shu, who was standing nearby, said, "She suddenly can't speak. What's the point of bringing her home? Why don't you take her to the hospital? Do you even know why she can't speak?"
Xiao Yutian remained silent and looked at her boyfriend, noticing that his eyes were somewhat evasive.
"Yes, we should go to the hospital to get it checked out."
He explained, "I felt that she cared so much about this competition, and she would be sad if she was eliminated, so I said that to cheer her up."
Xiao Yutian suddenly spoke up, "I'm fine now, I will continue to participate in the competition."
After she finished speaking, the man in front of her looked at her in utter shock, "How did you get better?"
Xiao Yutian's expression was rather unpleasant. "Judging from your expression, it seems like you don't want me to get better."
"Of course not! Little Sweetie, I'm happy you're better, but wasn't your match time over? Why do you still have to compete?"
I've booked a table at a private chef restaurant tonight. Let's go eat first to celebrate your voice getting better. You're so talented, one more competition won't make a difference.
When her boyfriend noticed that she was a little unhappy, he wanted to hug her to comfort her, but Xiao Yutian dodged him.
Xiao Yutian felt disgusted when she thought about how all the kindness this man showed her was to steal her career.
But her agent went to her house to destroy the ghost image, so she couldn't let him go back.
Xiao Yutian patiently said, "My friend has another performance to do, and I need to be her backup dancer. You can wait a little longer in the audience. We'll go have dinner after the performance."
"good."
Seeing that Xiao Yutian and the others were about to change their clothes, the man left the dressing room first.
His phone rang as he was leaving, but he didn't answer it immediately.
After leaving the backstage area of the talent show, he looked around and only answered the call when he found no one nearby.
"Is she dead?"
The phone rang that day.
"not yet."
"I told you long ago not to be too greedy. My magical artifacts can no longer suppress the evil spirit. If she's not dead by midnight tonight, then you'll be the one who dies tomorrow!"
The man's face paled. "Master, she seemed to be dying just now, but for some reason, her condition recovered! Is there something wrong with your substitution spell?"
"I will increase the power of the magic circle."
The other party said that and then hung up.
The man looked at his phone with a serious expression, then hurried over to the audience seats.
He has to stay here and keep an eye on Xiao Yutian today; only when he sees her dead with his own eyes can he feel at ease.
Inside the dressing room, Yun Shu brought only one set of her own clothes, which she had ordered online, and two custom-made masks.
"There is only one set of clothes, but you can wear this mask. I have drawn a talisman on the mask, which will be used in the ritual."
Yun Shu said to Xiao Yutian.
Xiao Yutian's lips twitched when she saw Yun Shu's props. "You were prepared all along, weren't you? Were you planning to perform a ritual for the position evaluation?"
Yun Shu said with a serious expression, "I chose the dance category, and what I performed was a shamanistic dance, which was a proper sacrificial dance in ancient times."
"puff……"
Xiao Yutian was amused by her serious expression, and her mood improved considerably.
"That seems to make sense, but I've never dealt with these things before. What should I do then?"
Yun Shu looked at the mask in her hand and said, "You don't have to do anything. Just go on stage and put on the mask. The little ghost will come back to find you, but don't be afraid. The mask will protect you."
I will then perform a divine invocation ritual, allowing divine power to descend upon me, intimidate the evil spirit, completely eliminate the karmic ties between you and it, and then annihilate it.
Xiao Yutian couldn't help but ask, "What about Yin Hong?"
Yin Hong is her boyfriend.
"Once the ritual to invoke the gods is over, any illusions will cease to exist, and Heaven will punish them."
"Them? Who else?"
Yun Shu explained, "Your boyfriend and the people who helped him both broke the rules. They used some tricks to cover up the truth so that they weren't discovered."
Not long after Yun Shu finished speaking, Xiao Yutian's agent contacted them, saying that she had already burned the little ghost statue inside the Buddha statue.
Before long, it was Yun Shu's turn to perform. They changed their clothes, put on masks, and came to the stage.
In addition to the mask and the high priest's attire, Yun Shu also placed a long table on the stage, which was filled with abundant offerings and an incense burner.
Seeing her strange props, the judges' expressions were somewhat odd, and some even secretly glanced at Lu Shijing in the main seat.
Lu Shijing remained calm, observing Yun Shu's attire and leisurely sipping his tea.
He wasn't originally on the judging panel for this variety show, but after the auditions, Lu Shijing had him added, putting a lot of pressure on the other judges.
On the stage.
Yun Shu's voice came over, "Hello everyone, I am Yun Shu. My dance performance is called 'Inviting the Gods,' which is adapted from an ancient sacrificial exorcism dance."
Yun Shu asked Xiao Yutian to put on the mask and stand aside, while she herself lit three incense sticks and prayed to the sky.
As the music started, Yun Shu tapped the small drum at her waist, staring intently in Xiao Yutian's direction, and circled her several times.
After Xiao Yutian put on the mask, she lost control of her body, as if something inside her was controlling her to kneel on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, her body twisted and she let out a strange whimpering sound.
What are Yun Shu and her partner up to? It looks like they're having an epileptic seizure.
[It's a bit like the shamanistic rituals in my hometown.]
[Shamanistic rituals? A talent show using this kind of feudal superstition? Is Yun Shu out of her mind?]
Just as the viewers of the variety show finished their complaints, Yun Shu slid down and knelt on the ground on the big screen, saying, "Fruit boxes, wine, and delicacies are laid out before the gods, please accept them with a smile!"
The audience: "..."
Before they could react, Yun Shu suddenly stood up again, spread her arms wide, and shouted, "Divine power has descended, summon the wind!"
The judges: "..."
[This is hilarious! I'm starting to doubt her mental state. These days, can mentally ill people even participate in talent shows?]
[This Yun Shu is a charlatan; he's even scamming people out of paper effigies by livestreaming online.]
[What 2G network are you talking about upstairs? Angkor Wat even posted on Weibo that he's quitting the internet. Yunshu's paper offerings are great, his mom even came over last night to praise him!]
Yes, her rain prayers were quite effective last time.
It was just pure luck.
The audience's debate had barely subsided when a loud clanging sound suddenly came from the camera.
