Chapter 58: A female ghost accidentally enters the variety show
Xiao Xu's focus was not on the human figure.
He frowned and looked at the cat shrine: "Didn't we pass by here a long time ago?"
[Brother Xiao, don't scare me! They shouldn't be the same person, right?]
[This isn't a good time for a movie star to show off his acting skills! He's trembling.]
Wan Ning moved back, goose bumps forming on the skin exposed outside her shawl. She forced a smile and said, "Teacher Xiao, please don't say such serious things."
"I guess it's a feature of the scenic area," Xiao Xu retracted his gaze and rubbed his arms. "It seems Xiao Chen and Xiao Jiang are the ones who are more forward-thinking. We underestimated the temperature. Let's go! I hope we're not the last one, haha."
Xiao Ge is so optimistic. I feel like Goddess Wan doesn't look very happy. Maybe she's been ignored.
[Laughing but not saying anything, who was it that Yin Yang Bei Bei was a greenhouse flower before?]
[It's started again. A joke is being used as evidence to discredit someone.]
The place where the black shadow just passed was empty.
——Maybe it’s a squirrel in the mountains.
The situation on Zhong Xue's side is not very good either.
It’s cold, so cold, like walking naked on the snow, with the chill from all directions uncontrollably squeezing into the bones.
"How long will it take..." Zhong Xue said with a nasal tone: "I feel like I'm about to catch a cold."
Liu Yichi graciously lent his coat to Zhong Xue, and showed concern for her at every turn, demonstrating his true character as a warm-hearted man.
[My Chi is really good at taking care of people. They get along so well. Who will lead the conversation about this artistic couple?]
My brother is really good. Those who spread rumors about him secretly getting married and having children are really heartless.
[Is it really that exaggerated to just borrow a coat? That stinky-faced Beagle next door even lent down jackets to everyone in the group.]
【……】
"Cameraman, didn't you guys check out this spot before?" Liu Yichi said to the staff with a smile, "Is there a hidden mission? Did they get the finish line wrong?"
The staff were also weird.
It should have arrived long ago...
"Ah!!" Zhong Xue suddenly took a half step back and pointed forward: "Who is that? It looks like there's someone there?"
[Ahhhhhh, this really is a supernatural variety show, right? Olaf, don't you suddenly act out like Actor Xiao!]
[Oh my god, I really think I saw that shadow move.]
Is that the shadowy figure Wan Nude just saw? No way, they were so far away, and they already ran over here in just a minute?
[What a person! A woman!]
[Who understands? I don’t dare to watch it anymore at home alone…]
The woman Zhong Xue was pointing at slowly emerged from the shadows. She wasn't tall, but her figure was well-proportioned. She wore only a thin jacket, her hands tucked into her pockets as she strolled leisurely along the mountain path. In the dark shadows of the trees, her exposed skin felt like snow fluttering among pine needles.
Li Lan in front of the screen widened her eyes.
Isn't this person Long Zhu? !
Long Zhu was feeling a little depressed before.
Meng Caiyun and Wang Fengxu had both sent her the address for the Qingcheng Mountain Martial Arts Show, and Bai He had even booked her a room. She had originally planned to drive there, but then she received devastating news—her car had been towed away by traffic police for illegal parking. She had no choice but to buy a train ticket and walk up the mountain after arriving.
It's only a few dozen kilometers.
Halfway through her walk, she noticed something was wrong.
The temperature drop here wasn't entirely predictable. Temperature fluctuations were usually caused not only by natural climate but also by the balance of resentment and spiritual energy. While the resentment here wasn't abnormal, it was already low, at least according to the merit map.
The martial arts competition is about to begin. There are so many cultivators gathered on the mountain, so why is the spiritual energy so thin?
"Hi! Hello!" Zhong Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the woman in front of her had a shadow. She went up to her and greeted her generously: "Are you a resident living on this mountain?"
Long Zhu turned his head and looked at the other person in confusion, then nodded after a while: "Yeah."
The B&B she was going to stay in was indeed on the mountain.
"We're going to this B&B," Zhong Xue smiled sweetly. "Do you know how to get there?"
The short-haired woman's left eye was obscured by her overlong bangs, leaving her right eye distinctly black and white. Her sudden stare at him was chilling and sinister. Hearing the voice, she fell into deep thought, sizing Zhong Xue up and down. "Are you here for 'that' too?"
Zhong Xue thought the other party was referring to participating in the show, and smiled again with curved eyes: "Yes, my name is Zhong Xue, and the one next to me is Liu Yichi, maybe you should know him?"
Zhong Xue has just debuted and is not very recognizable. However, Liu Yichi has appeared in many band variety shows and played the second male lead in many big IP ancient costume dramas. His fame is obvious to all.
But when Long Zhu heard this, he glanced at the artistic young man next to him and said bluntly: "I haven't heard of it."
Zhong Xue and Liu Yichi were both stunned for a moment, and the former subconsciously repeated: "You don't know?"
Long Zhu was puzzled: "Why should I know? Which sect is he from? Is he very powerful?"
Li Lan in front of the screen: "..."
That’s right, it’s confirmed to be Long Zhu himself.
[…Honestly, this is a bit too arrogant. Do ordinary people like us have to know every celebrity?]
[Sorry to distort the point, but this lady is so cool and perfect for heavy metal.]
[Just tell her she has a ghostly look on her face and is heavy metal rock.]
Liu Yichi touched his nose awkwardly: "Xiaoxue, you overestimate me, haha, maybe this lady doesn't usually watch dramas."
Zhong Xue also evaded the question and asked about the address again.
Long Zhu had already thought of them as contestants at the martial arts competition, so he didn't think anything was wrong. He pointed forward and said, "It's right in front. I live there too."
Liu Yichi was very surprised: "Are you also staying in that B&B?"
Generally speaking, the place where the program is recorded is booked in advance.
The staff member's voice was a little embarrassed: "We discussed it in advance. There is indeed a courtyard reserved by the owner for important guests. However, the entrance and exit to that courtyard is separate, so it won't affect us."
[This B&B actually has a separate yard? ]
[Yes, his house has two courtyards, and the side courtyard is larger. However, the rooms in the side courtyard cannot be booked online and may be very expensive.]
[It has nothing to do with price. Previously, when the CEO of Shucheng Development Group went on vacation in the mountains, he could only book a room in the main courtyard.]
【Why is this B&B so popular? 】
[Locals say this place has delicious food, and the owner is a master of incense, and it's very effective for insomnia and anxiety.]
So she is the boss's guest?
Zhong Xue smiled and said, "What a coincidence, let's go together."
Liu Yichi glanced at Long Zhu a few times without leaving a trace. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt that the temperature was not as cold as before.
Soon, a Chinese-style homestay appeared at the end of the road, with rocks and lush trees on both sides. The gate with hanging flower pillars and pink walls and black tiles was very elegant. On the plaque was two large characters "Here" written in gold on a black background, which was in a flamboyant style.
The director team waited for two hours and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone coming.
"Congratulations to Zhong Xue and Liu Yichi! They were the first to avoid a minor punishment~"
The director's PD laughed and joked, "Will the other two groups turn back halfway?"
[This is strange. Are the routes really the same length? Why are the others still wandering around in circles in the mountains?]
[Just came from the Wanning live broadcast room... Does anyone else feel like they're stuck in a maze? ]
【Did you find yourself on the wrong road? Don't say such unlucky words.】
The production crew jokingly said, "Are Chen Songling and Jiang Bei's luggage too heavy to walk?"
Long Zhu was about to continue walking forward when he heard a voice and took a few steps back. "Chen Songling?"
Liu Yichi covered his chest and deliberately laughed at himself: "It seems that this lady doesn't not watch dramas, it's just that I'm not as famous as Song Ling."
[Hahahaha, Chi Ge, don't give up on yourself! You are a hundred times better than him!]
[No way, the resourceful people show up every day, my mom even knows them.]
[Haha, my brother Song is really hot-tempered. Look how jealous you guys are.]
[No, I remember now! I've always thought this girl looked familiar. Was she in the nine-square grid that Wangxiantai Songsong posted before?]
Long Zhu's face was full of questions: "Chen Fujun is also here to participate in 'that'?"
What was he doing here? Performing a death scene?
【Hahahahaha, you must be a hater! 】
[Pfft, she calls me that derogatory name so naturally. The advantage of live streaming is that you can't mute it in time.]
I don't think the original name is anything negative; it's a simple name. It sounds like someone could plow two acres of land by themselves.
【You didn't let him go upstairs either. 】
"Are you a fan of Song Ling? Maybe we can get his autograph during the break," Zhong Xue explained. "We're all here together, but they haven't arrived yet."
Long Zhu opened the Merit Map and saw that the gray dot he had been tracking was moving not far away, with the brown resentment circle around it appearing and disappearing from time to time.
She put her phone back in her pocket and sighed helplessly: "I'll go pick him up."
Why would someone who couldn't even get out of a maze come to participate in a martial arts competition? Zhu Meng's vision was getting worse and worse...
The others were stunned, and before they could say anything to stop her, they saw the short-haired woman turn around and sway twice, and her figure quickly disappeared.
Zhong Xue was shocked: "Run, can she run so fast?"
[The child was so shocked that he burst out with inverted sentences, haha. ]
[Awesome, that's too fast! Why don't you join a sprint race?]
[I feel like she has an afterimage! ]
The towering ancient trees all around made the sky impenetrable. Occasionally, there were a few strange and rough cries in the forest, which made people feel inexplicably creepy.
Wan Ning and Xiao Xu were still trekking on the mountain path. They had both taken out some snacks and biscuits to share, but after going around in circles, they still hadn't seen the signpost for the end point.
Xiao Xu frowned: "Why not call the director team and ask them? This isn't a solution."
Wan Ning gathered her shawl, suppressed the chill in her heart, and said with a smile, "Teacher Xiao, do you want to give up?"
"What's the big deal?" Xiao Xu took out his phone and bared his white teeth. "At worst, I'll just accept the punishment."
There was a rustling in the bushes ahead.
Xiao Xu just finished sending the message and looked up in surprise: "So soon? Are you here to pick us up?"
The staff looked at each other in confusion: "Who is this? Do you know him?"
【Ahhh, it's the lady who was trying to rescue someone just now! 】
[So soon? Isn't this a live broadcast? How long has she been away?]
[How unbelievable! Did she know she was about to run into the best actor and the best singer? [Laughing with her hands covering her mouth]]
[…Not wait? Why did she just leave?]
[…? ]
