Fu Le said in horror: "What happened? Did I almost die?"
"What's that smell?" Qin Yan frowned and sniffed. He stretched out his fingers to pick up a little bit of the dust in Fu Le's hand, put it under his nostrils and smelled it.
Jing Cheng said: "The cinnabar used to draw talismans is made from water-melted cinnabar mixed with realgar, white wine and angelica. It will have a faint fishy smell after being burned."
Jing Cheng looked at the handful of white ash in his hand thoughtfully: "When you came back tonight, did you encounter any strange people or things?"
Fu Le was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be lost in memories: "It was past eight o'clock when I came out of the Internet cafe. On the way back, I did run into someone, and I almost fell. But it was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see what she looked like. I just remember that she seemed to be very thin, very white, with very bright eyes, and should be very pretty..."
"I thought she was a girl, so I didn't have the nerve to scold her. She seemed very anxious, and she glanced at me hurriedly before leaving."
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan couldn't help but frown when they heard his description.
Fu Le looked so fascinated that he couldn't find the north. He sighed and said, "Her perfume smelled really good. I wanted to ask her for her WeChat, but she left too quickly. Sigh."
Jing Cheng asked: "...Apart from her, are you sure you didn't run into anyone else?"
Fu Le thought about it carefully and nodded: "Probably not."
...
...
Qin Yan asked: "So what's the situation?"
Jing Cheng stroked his chin and said affirmatively: "There must be something strange about that girl."
Fu Le couldn't help rubbing his arms and took a breath of cold air: "Is she a ghost? Or a person possessed by a ghost?"
Jing Cheng explained: "If someone can touch it, it means it's not a ghost. And if a person is possessed by a ghost, the body will have a rejection reaction, and they won't walk very fast, which can also be ruled out."
"What is that?"
Fu Le and Qin Yan said in unison.
Jing Cheng glanced at them and spoke slowly, "It could also be a demon."
The two were stunned.
Demons...are there really such creatures in the world?
"Where did you meet her?" Jing Cheng asked again. It was normal for monsters to appear in the ancient city. This place was close to Taiyin Mountain. The monster-suppressing monument was damaged back then. Although he didn't know how many monsters were suppressed underneath, at least some of them had escaped from it.
Fu Le thought for a moment and said, "There is a business hotel near that Internet cafe. Judging from the direction, she should have come out of the hotel."
Jing Cheng nodded to show that he understood.
Demons have no physical form and always live by attaching themselves to humans. It will be easy to deal with them if you know the location of that human.
Jing Cheng told the two to go back to their room and rest early. The later they stayed up late, the more likely they would harm their bodies. Both of them had low fortunes right now, and staying up late would make them more likely to have health problems.
The two of them obediently followed his instructions and went back to their rooms.
It will soon be midnight, and the yin energy here is heavy, which is more suitable for drawing talismans.
Jing Cheng stood at the table, grinding cinnabar while thinking about something.
He is a rule-abiding person. Since the ancient city has a rule that people cannot go out at night, it will not be too late for him to look for someone tomorrow morning.
I helped Qin Yan stabilize his fortune tonight, and there shouldn't be any more accidents happening to Qin Yan in the near future.
As for that evil way, it cannot take away Qin Yan's fortune, and he will probably suffer the consequences soon.

Ever since a domestic parent-child reality show became popular, reality shows have begun to explode.
Over the years, various reality shows have emerged one after another. Once a reality show becomes popular, countless reality shows will follow suit. However, scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many of the same thing, it will become worthless. The audience has gradually regained their rationality, no longer blindly chasing dramas, and their tastes have gradually become more picky.
After losing all their money time and time again, the producers of the program gradually calmed down and stopped blindly following the trend of producing shoddy products. Instead, they began to strive for a good reputation.
That’s how The Incredible Journey was born.
This is a reality show about the supernatural. Although it uses the banner of "supernatural" to attract the audience's attention, in fact, the program does not dare to really have anything to do with "supernatural".
The program team searches for supernatural and magical events all over the country, or legends and strange stories with suspense and horror, or stories of strange people and events, feng shui and other traditional cultural content... and restores these incredible events to the "scientific truth."
Fortunately, our motherland has a long history, vast territory, and countless strange ancient legends and bizarre people and events... The program crew doesn't have to worry about having nothing to shoot.
The hidden purpose of the program is to "expose superstitious scams" and spread positive energy. It is a program with "three positive values", so all parties gave the green light and the program has been smooth sailing since the beginning of filming.
It adopts the filming method of horror and suspense at the beginning and scientific slap in the face at the end. It first arouses the audience's curiosity, and then makes various ridiculous reversals at the end. The gap is huge, which makes people laugh and cry, and can't stop watching.
So after the first season of the show aired, it caused a huge response on the Internet.
The guests in the first and second seasons were almost all amateurs, with only a few models and actors outside the 18th tier. But now, these 18th tier stars have all become second-tier celebrities thanks to the huge traffic of the show.
Therefore, all the big and small stars, young and old stars in the entertainment industry turned their attention to the show.
However, starting from the third season, the program was bought by Qin's Entertainment, a giant in the entertainment industry. Director Zhao Yi took over the filming of the third season, and almost all the artists who could participate in the program were contracted artists of Qin's Entertainment.
Zhao Yi is a young director trained by Qin's Entertainment. He is bold and dares to go on field adventures. With the financial support of Qin's Entertainment behind him, the reputation of the program continued to ferment after the third season was broadcast, making the program "Incredible Journey" a real hit.
The latest season of "Incredible Journey" is set in the ancient city. There are now six fixed guests in the show. The guests' identities involve business, sports, entertainment and education. Among them, three are from the entertainment industry and three are amateurs.
The guests and program staff are now gathered in a well-secured business hotel in the ancient city.
That night, chief director Zhao Yi personally paid for a dinner to welcome everyone.
As they were toasting each other, a staff member came over with a glass of wine and asked, "Director Zhao, how are we going to arrange our schedule this time? Are we going to act separately in groups of two like last time?"
Zhao Yi took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then shook his head and said, "There are requirements from above, so we can't act separately this time."
The staff member was startled and said, "Didn't the person say it was an accident last time? He was rescued later..."
Zhao Yi took a bite of peanuts, chewed them up and swallowed them. He looked at him with a half-smile: "Is it an accident that you didn't know what was going on?"
The staff member's heart skipped a beat and he stammered, "This... is really the case, then can we still continue filming this show?"
"Why can't we take a photo?" Zhao Yihun said nonchalantly, "Don't you know? Money talks... But this time there will be one more spot for the amateur."
"Who is it?"
Knowing that the show can continue to be filmed, the staff felt relieved. They can only make money if the show continues to be filmed, and the pay for this hit show is quite generous. He does not want to lose this job.
"A... um..." Zhao Yi paused, choosing his words carefully, "It should be a Taoist priest. Let him ensure everyone's safety."
The staff was dumbfounded: "Taoist... Taoist priest?"
"That's about right. I don't know what he does, and I'm not sure if he can come to our show." Zhao Yi said, "The original person we booked was from the Taoist Association, but he was stood up at the last minute."
"When this arrives, let him give everyone an amulet to carry. No accidents can happen this time."
The staff didn't expect the director to be so superstitious and were speechless. Finding a Taoist priest to escort the guests of the program, doesn't this go against the original intention of the program?
What will the audience think? And the people above may not approve the program after seeing it, right?
Zhao Yi was probably drunk. He took a sip of wine, then sighed while holding the wine glass in his hand: "These days, everyone earns their money through hard work! It's not easy to fool the audience. Filming a show requires constant fear and anxiety. It's not easy!"
The staff stood aside and listened silently, thinking in their hearts: Your hard-earned money starts at hundreds of thousands, and ours is only a few thousand. If you give me hundreds of thousands, let alone hard-earned money, I would be willing to bleed.
Zhao Yi was drunk. He stood up with his glass in hand and looked around for people. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Come on! Let me toast you all! Thank you all for giving me, Zhao, a favor and coming to participate in this program recording. Now, please invite our little king of traffic, Yan Xiu, and little queen, An Qi, to come and say a few words to everyone..."
Everyone in the private room: “…………”
The assistant at the side quickly pulled Zhao Yi over and said, "Director Zhao, you must have drunk too much. Did you forget? Teacher Yan Xiu is allergic to alcohol and has left early."
Besides, the terms "little king" and "little queen" are just jokes among people in private, how can they be brought out in the open... They were two innocent people, but when you say that, it's like they're going to have a wedding ceremony. Even if there was no scandal at all, you "made" it out.
An Qi's delicately made-up face was full of embarrassment. Sitting next to her was the triple-award-winning actress Mao Rongyan. They were about the same age. Although she was not as popular as her online, she was a real actress after all. For her to call her "little queen" before her... There were many people in the private room, and if this got out, what would happen...
Mao Rongyan is in her early thirties this year. She has a gentle and pleasant appearance and is very well maintained. You would believe she is in her twenties. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I see Director Zhao doesn't look well. He must have drunk too much. It's so late, let him rest early."
Now that the queen of film has spoken, how dare we not respond?
Besides, it’s almost midnight and we have to get up early and be busy the next day. Who doesn’t want to go to bed early?
Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned. The assistant quickly pushed Director Zhao out of the private room, preparing to adjourn the party and go back to their rooms to rest.
At this moment, Yan Xiu's agent, Ms. Wang, came to the door and asked hurriedly, "Has anyone seen our Xiao Yan?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone asked, "He said he couldn't handle the alcohol. Didn't he leave a long time ago?"
The banquet was scheduled for 8 o'clock, but he left at 8:30, looking sick and having eaten very little.
Ms. Wang said anxiously, "I called him but couldn't get through. He's not in the room this late. Does anyone know where he went?"
"have no idea."
“I don’t know.”
"We didn't see it."
An Qi bit her lip and said hesitantly: "I seemed to see him leave the hotel and go outside."
It was so late, what was a popular young star doing outside alone?
Everyone was confused.
