Chapter 641
The rectification work of the underworld progressed very quickly. A large number of Yin messengers in Bi Yanwang's palace were arrested and dealt with, and a new group of Yin messengers were promoted to take over. After taking the natural treasures produced in the underworld, Bi Yanwang's body gradually recovered and he was able to go back to work. This made the other Yanwangs breathe a sigh of relief. However, it will take time to recover to his original peak. After all, he was imprisoned for not a few decades, but hundreds of years.
King Bi was very grateful to Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen. If they hadn't come to the underworld, he would not have been able to escape from that ghost place. So he kept the two as guests in the King of Hell's Palace and granted them some permissions. Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen didn't hesitate and stayed here.
The environment of the underworld is gloomy. No matter how new they are to the underworld, they will get bored after a while. The reason why the two stayed in the underworld is that they wanted to use the environment here to practice. The underworld's suppression of them is looser than that of the world of the living. Moreover, the rules of heaven and earth here are very different from those of the world of the living, involving death and the six reincarnations. The more they understand, the more they feel that their path of practice is still very long.
As for Yuchi Yan and the treacherous judge, they were thrown into the eighteen levels of hell. Whether they would have a chance to come out in the future depended on their luck. Their punishment period was long. By the time Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen left this world, their punishment might not have ended yet.
The development and changes in the world of the living are so rapid that the ghosts in the underworld are overwhelmed. Taking this opportunity, the ghosts of each hall also want to change the underworld and prevent it from lagging too far behind the world of the living. So the ghosts of each hall recruit high-tech talents from the ghosts who have entered the underworld in recent years, and let them do research and development to update the equipment in the underworld.
Even Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen would make some small inventions besides practicing. These were all things they had made before, so it was easy to make them again, the only difference was that the materials needed some changes.
Through the cooperation between the two of them in the world of the living and the world of the dead, some long-standing cases have been solved. At the same time, the underworld is changing day by day, which makes the ghosts left in the underworld admire it. Especially the old ghosts, they always hear the new ghosts say how good the world of the living is now, and they think the underworld is too backward and outdated. Now they can finally enjoy it.
Also because of the cooperation of the underworld, when the gates of hell opened wide during this Ghost Festival, there was no major chaos in the world of the living. It can be said that it passed peacefully. This made the special departments breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that cooperating with the underworld really has many benefits.
Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen also breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn't eradicated the scourge that was Yuchi Yan, there would definitely be trouble during the Ghost Festival. Who knows how many evil spirits would come out and harm the people in the world.
Because of the great contributions made by Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen, the special department also began to pay attention to the matter of demon cultivators they mentioned. It is reasonable to include it in the scope of formal management. This can not only protect law-abiding demon cultivators, but also prevent those who commit crimes.
Because of this, the special departments were a little too busy, so they added some personnel, some of whom were recruited from metaphysical families and sects, and some were transferred from non-metaphysical civil servants.
***
At the Yu family, Yu's father recently closed a new deal and was in a very good mood. He personally cooked a meal for his wife and son as a reward for the whole family.
Mother Yu smiled as she said to Yuan Jing, "It's rare for your father to cook, but today we are in for a treat. Your father's cooking skills are actually much better than mine, but he's always busy with business and can't spare the time."
Then he said to Yu's father who was laughing happily, "Don't be so proud. Your cooking skills are just for our family to praise. In fact, compared with Xiaoyan, you are still far behind. Xiaoyan's cooking skills are comparable to those of a master chef."
Since they became neighbors, Yan Yuansen often invited the Yu couple to come over for dinner. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who feeds him, and the same applies to the Yu couple. In any case, Yu's mother liked Yan Yuansen more and more.
Father Yu glared at his wife who was almost bribed by Yan Yuansen. How could his wife help others to become more powerful and destroy his own prestige? While using a serving chopstick to pick up food for his son, he secretly made up his mind that he had to quickly pick up his cooking skills. He just couldn't believe that he was not as good as the pretty boy next door.
Don't think that a man can act arrogantly just because he has a good-looking face. For a man, real ability must be looked at, and whether he can support a family business. In this respect, he is definitely better than the pretty boy next door.
Thinking of this, he felt much calmer. Seeing that Yuan Jing had eaten all the food he had picked up, he smiled and said, "Xiao Jing likes it. Dad will make more in the future. Recently, the company has hired a manager, so Dad can be a little lazy. By the way, Xiao Jing, Dad ran into your uncle Wang yesterday. He asked Dad which Feng Shui master arranged the company's Feng Shui and wanted Dad to build a bridge. What do you think, Xiao Jing?"
Father Yu was very proud. His son was so capable. However, apart from showing off the feng shui in the company, he did not show off his son to other people. It was better to keep his son's abilities hidden.
Yuan Jing thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask other people to see if anyone is interested in taking over this business."
"That's good. Xiaojing is just like me." Father Yu smiled. His son is like him. He doesn't like to be high-profile and does things in a low-key manner.
Mother Yu rolled her eyes. Like him? Bah, like herself. Just like her, she made a fortune quietly. If she didn't say anything, who would know that her wealth was much greater than her husband's?
Mother Yu told Yuan Jing about the new crew he was going to join, which was a movie. Yuan Jing would naturally play a minor role, and Tong Lian was also there.
"The leading actress is played by actress Zhong Lichu, right? Mom was a fan of actress Zhong in her early years. This time when we join the crew, please ask mom to get an autographed photo of actress Zhong."
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows in amusement: "No problem, Dad, do you want it?"
Father Yu looked at Mother Yu carefully, and was noticed by Mother Yu: "Why? Are you afraid that I will be jealous? I am very relieved. Even if you like Queen Zhong, Queen Zhong will not like you."
Father Yu was anxious: "What are you talking about? Didn't I pay attention to actress Zhong because I had something in common with you? And you're still blaming me. Don't you still like that actor so-and-so? Xiao Jing, is that actor also in your crew this time?"
"Actor Fan? Yes, it has just been confirmed that Actor Fan will be the No.1 male star." Yuan Jing flicked at his phone and replied with a smile.
Yu's mother's eyes suddenly lit up. The movie stars she had admired in her early years were all here. "Then I'll pick a time and go to the crew to visit you, Xiaojing."
Father Yu had a look on his face that said, "I knew you would be like this."
Yu's father and mother are very satisfied with their current life. Before, they were worried that their son, who only graduated from junior high school, did not have enough cultural level and could not do much. But when they came to the capital, they found that as parents, they were benefiting from their son. Why should they worry about their son having a bad future?
The more they interacted with that circle, the more they understood that with their son's talent, people would praise him wherever he went, which made them satisfied. The only drawback was probably that this cabbage was eaten by a pig right after it was found.
After dinner, Dad Yu didn’t ask his son to clean up the dishes, nor did he ask Mom to help. He still did it himself.
Yuan Jing was going to report to the new crew and say goodbye to his parents. While washing dishes, Yu's father looked at the door. He was unhappy when the pig appeared, but now it hasn't appeared, and he is also unhappy, so he pretended to be casual and asked: "Where is Xiao Yan? Isn't he coming to see you off?"
Yuan Jing leaned against the door frame, watching his father put on an "I'm just asking casually" look, and said with a smile: "There is a case that needs him to go over and take a look. If he can make it in time, he will come back and drive me there."
Father Yu thought to himself that this was just okay, and then said with a look of disdain: "Let's go quickly, and remember to bring everything your mother prepared, and don't forget the autographed photo your mother asked for."
Although he was jealous at the dinner table before, Yu's father was still a good man who loved his wife. Perhaps it was this reason that made the old people in the Yu family dislike Yu's mother so much, and even disliked the children born to Yu's mother.
Friends in the business world also knew that Yu Xianghua would never do anything stupid outside and had never had any ambiguous relationship with other women. They made fun of him many times, but Yu Xianghua still looked like a henpecked man.
Yuan Jing went back to his room to pack his luggage, and Yu's father pricked up his ears to listen to the voices of his wife and son.
By the time they had packed their luggage and were ready to leave, Yan Yuansen couldn't make it back in time. This trip was related to a previous supernatural case, which was the abnormal situation of the mistress in the previous divorce case. The same was true for the leading actress in the second crew that Yuan Jing was waiting for. If Yuan Jing hadn't wanted to join the crew, he would definitely have gone with Yan Yuansen to check out the situation.
Therefore, Yuan Jing had to drive to the crew by himself. After sending his son away, Yu's father grumbled a few words to Yu's mother. Yu's mother patted his fat belly unhappily and said, "What's wrong with Xiaoyan? Besides, he and Yuan Jing have something in common. Yuan Jing is happy with him. Didn't you see that Xiaoyan bought the house next door for Yuan Jing? It was for Yuan Jing and us old couple."
Father Yu could only sigh. That guy bribed his wife to speak for him.
Well, what my wife said makes sense. We don’t have to worry about that kid betraying Yuan Jing in the future. Yuan Jing has his own abilities, and we have the money that we old couple have helped to save. What kind of life can’t he live in the future?
Yuan Jing joined the new crew very low-key. Tong Lian also got a role this time based on his own ability. It is a bigger role than the small supporting role he played before. It can be said to be a big supporting role. If this movie sells well at the box office, Tong Lian will also come into the eyes of many people.
Tong Lian really worked hard to improve her acting skills this time. Since it was her hobby, she did not feel it was hard work. Instead, she was immersed in it. As a result, she had not contacted Yuan Jing for some time. This time, she was very excited to know that Yuan Jing had also joined the crew.
When they got to the crew, the two of them got together to gossip again, of course it was mainly Tong Lian who was talking.
"Director Wei's masterpiece this time attracted big names. Look at the actress Zhong Lichu and the actor Fan Yu. Oh, and there's also the popular first-line actor Cen Yu. The movie has become popular before it even started shooting. But I'm a little worried. The bigger the gimmick, the harder it will sell. Didn't I see people online criticizing it?"
Yuan Jing patted his shoulder and reassured him: "Don't worry, we are just extras anyway, the box office sales should be the concern of the director and the leading actors. Besides, no matter how the finished product is, think about it, if you change to other crews, will you have such a good opportunity to observe the acting skills of the best actor and actress from the sidelines?"
Tong Lian immediately perked up: "Yes, you are absolutely right. I really don't need to worry about the box office. I am mainly studying and improving myself."
Cen Yu left home early to report to the crew. His agent and assistant found it a little strange. Although Cen Yu did not like to put on airs, he was not an easy person to talk to. The more famous the person, the later they would appear.
Sitting in the car, Cen Yu seemed a little uneasy. His agent asked worriedly, "Teacher Cen, are you worried about Fan Yu?"
Cen Yu was distracted just now, and only turned to look at him after hearing his agent's words: "Fan Yu? Why should I worry about him? Is he a threat to me?"
In this circle, Cen Yu is still quite arrogant. Even though he is playing a supporting role to Fan Yu this time, he does not feel that he is inferior to Fan Yu. The reason he took this movie is to repay the favor of Director Wei. It was Director Wei who chose him to act in his movie, which made him famous overnight.
So this time when Director Wei said there was a role suitable for him, Cen Yu nodded and agreed without hesitation. So what if he was a snake demon? Demon cultivators are very loyal.
“Then why are you…” The agent looked at his artist suspiciously.
Cen Yu waved his hands, sighed and said, "You don't understand this. Well, now that you're in the crew, don't offend anyone easily, okay? Even if it's a small supporting role, you have to respect others."
The manager and assistant both looked as if their eyes were popping out of their heads. Although Cen Yu was not someone who would lose his temper easily, he certainly could not be said to have a good temper. Could it be that the sun was rising from the west today? The two looked out the window suspiciously.
Cen Yu was choked by their performance and rolled his eyes speechlessly. Finally, he took out his cell phone to chat with Sister Hua.
"Sister Hua, I'm so scared. I'm about to meet that guy. Will he really not chop me up and stew me?"
