"There's something I need to tell you all—" Xu Qian stopped mid-sentence, unsure how to explain this, and said somewhat awkwardly...
"What?" The two brothers turned around at the same time.
"It means... you don't need to look for that 'Wei' from the Meng family anymore."
The two were stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Xu Qian sighed. This matter had to start from the fourth replay of the water mirror…
In the fourth playthrough, they were attacked by the demons before they even discovered that the seal of Hidden God Valley was broken. In just one day, the entire Kyushu continent was devastated and turned into a hellish place.
Just when things seemed hopeless, Senior Brother Meng suddenly asked Xu Qian if he had any regrets in his life.
Then, Xu Qian said that his biggest regret was not treating Weiwei (his alien) well. If he had a chance to do it all over again, he would definitely cherish it (the alien).
Xu Qian interpreted this passage as follows: Think about it, if it weren't for that little bit of money, would he have sold the alien he obtained? If he hadn't sold it, he wouldn't have used that old relic, and then the game crashed, causing him to travel to this world.
But Senior Brother Meng didn't understand. He only thought that 'Weiwei' was a woman, and a woman who had a close relationship with Xu Qian.
Xu Qian clearly understood the whole logic, and then knelt down in self-reproach.
In short, Xu Qian, as the person involved, regretted it, deeply regretted it. Why did he even mention it? It caused such a huge misunderstanding, and the entire Meng family was now searching for that so-called 'Wei'. Did that fat guy deserve her? He didn't deserve her at all!
Of course, Xu Qian deliberately made this explanation vague. The general idea was that the Meng family was looking for that 'Wei' to help him, but that was all in the past, and they didn't need to continue looking for her.
The two brothers looked at each other, unsure whether they understood or not. But as far as their Meng family was concerned about finding someone, it had been so many generations and there was still no news. There was a high probability that they would not be able to find them in the future. Moreover... there were not many people left in their Meng family now, so even if they wanted to find them, they would be powerless to do so.
In short, the 'weiwei' mix-up has come to an end.
***
Three days later, Xu Qian, who had just returned to Weicheng, received a call from Zhao Wenkang. Without even putting down his luggage, he rushed to Beijing to audition for the movie "Shaolin Temple".
The script for the movie "Shaolin Temple" was planned for almost a year, during which the team changed more than once, and there were rumors of various discords among the teams. The process was full of twists and turns.
But the fact that the director of this drama is Fei Xiangdi, the genius director who has won the Oscar for Best Director twice, is enough to leave those investors who gave money speechless. Not only that, they even have to change the team according to his wishes.
Logically speaking, someone with such a background shouldn't be eligible for an interview, but fortunately, thanks to the introduction of Mr. Zhao Wenkang, the middleman, Xu Qian still got an interview opportunity.
The auditions for the film "Shaolin Temple" were not open to the public. Although rumors had circulated within the industry, very few people were actually willing to give the opportunity.
So, judging from the number of actors competing, it didn't seem difficult. However, Zhao Wenkang personally reminded Xu Qian that whether he could get the role ultimately depended on Director Fei. Only when he nodded in approval would it be considered true approval.
In other words, the difficulty lies with the director.
Fortunately, Xu Qian has a good attitude. In the end, he doesn't have much ambition. It would be good if he could get this role, but not getting it just means he's not qualified yet.
With this mindset, Xu Qian went for an interview on the second day after arriving in the capital. The interview location was a temple on Qingbu Mountain, south of the capital.
Zhao Wenkang once revealed that Director Fei lived in a mountain temple for a long time when he was a child, and did not return to his parents until he was a little older. He had a very special feeling for the temple.
Perhaps this is why the production of this film has been delayed time and time again.
It was still almost half an hour before 10 a.m., as Zhao Wenkang had mentioned, but the temple was already bustling with activity. Today happened to be the Buddhist worship day at Qingbu Mountain, and many believers had arrived at the temple before dawn. If the temple's morning bell hadn't rung early, they might not have been able to get in so early in the morning.
At the main entrance of the temple, there is a three-legged stone round incense burner, about 1.5 meters tall, slender in shape, which can be wrapped around an adult's arms.
As you approach, you can smell the aroma of sandalwood and pine branches, warm, delicate, mellow, and smooth, which instantly calms the mind.
Xu Qian took three incense sticks from the crowd of worshippers, lit them, and held them up to his eyebrows. He placed the first incense stick in the center of the incense burner and bowed once to make an offering to the Buddha; he placed the second incense stick on the right and bowed twice to make an offering to the Dharma; and he placed the third incense stick on the left and bowed three times to make an offering to the Sangha.
He learned these rules from a temple in Lianfang Town when he went there with his master to practice. There was an old monk named Shoufang who chanted Buddhist sutras every day without fail. After half a year, he had memorized several scriptures.
However, now that he had come to a temple, the familiar and unchanging atmosphere made Xu Qian miss his old life. He thought to himself that when he was finally free, finding a small temple to cultivate in peace was actually a pretty good idea.
While Xu Qian was praying, several gazes were fixed on him. The reason was simple: his face had been all over the internet for a while, so it was normal for someone to recognize him. However, since most of the people who came to pray this morning were elderly, there was no big commotion for a while.
"Buzz—"
Looking down, he saw a message from Xiaoqing about Monk Neil. The monk had run into trouble and wanted Xu Qian to help him for a fee.
Soon, Xu Qian saw the next message from Xiao Qing—300,000.
Wow! That's incredibly rich?!
Xu Qian rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was indeed 300,000 yuan. This was the money he had to work hard for three months to earn. How could a monk make so much money?!
He was really jealous.
In short, Xu Qian was shamefully tempted. Although the 100,000 yuan from Boss Shen was still fresh in his mind, who would complain about having too much money? Why not do something so simple?
Yes, yes!
Xiaoqing originally wanted to send the monk's WeChat contact information directly, but Xu Qian politely declined, saying that he didn't want to buy a third phone, which earned him a glare from Xiaoqing.
Finally, before 10 a.m., Xu Qian had thoroughly toured the temple before heading to the agreed-upon Hongfu Hall.
