Chapter 71



After Jing Cheng and the other two returned to the hotel, they specifically asked the store owner for some salt.

They sprinkled some salt in the four corners of their respective rooms. In Jingcheng's words, it was to get rid of bad luck.

That’s right, I finally went out for a trip, but I ended up hanging around the police station for the next two days.

Once, someone reported him for a street fight, and another time, he was treated as a suspect and almost went to jail... He was truly unlucky, unprecedented in history.

Fu Le even sprinkled some salt on himself, and asked doubtfully, "Will this really work?"

Jing Cheng thought to himself that it was useless, it was just a psychological effect, but he said, "You can also burn wormwood and jump over the fire pot."

"If we set a fire indoors, we'll be kicked out by the owner." Qin Yan packed up his things and walked over. When he passed by the table, he noticed that Jing Cheng's phone had been showing messages, so he handed the phone to Jing Cheng, "Someone's looking for you, take a look."

Today they planned to visit the Taiyin Mountain next door as originally planned. There are many scenic spots near the ancient city, but fifteen days is enough for them to visit them all.

For this purpose, Qin Yan also specially prepared professional camera equipment.

Jing Cheng took the phone in confusion. Who could contact him at this time?

...

...

[Cameraman Xiao Qu: Hello, Mr. Jing! I am the person who bought the amulet from you yesterday. I am a staff member of the reality show "Incredible Journey". This time, we need a professional Taoist priest for the recording of the show. Yesterday afternoon, I had the honor of watching you draw the amulet. Our director Zhao Yi thinks you are very professional, so he sincerely invites you to participate in the filming of this show. I wonder if you are interested?]

[Camera song: The whole process of recording the program will take about two months, but the actual recording time is only 15 days, so it won’t take up too much of your time.]

[Cameraman Xiaoqu: The remuneration is about 200,000 per episode. Of course, if you are not satisfied, we can still meet and discuss it.]

[Video song: Location: Meeting room 103 on the first floor of xx Business Hotel. When you arrive, you can call this number: 18XXXXXXXXX.]

The last message came half an hour later.

[Camera song: Are you there? Excuse me, if you see this message, please reply.]

After reading several messages in a row, Jing Cheng was stunned.

He knew about reality shows, but wasn't that something only celebrities could participate in? He wasn't a celebrity, so why was he invited?

Could it be a scam?

When Fu Le saw him holding his phone in a daze, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought it was some bad news again, and couldn't help but lean over to look at his phone.

"Whose message was it? Was it the police station again? They wouldn't think we are the murderer and want to arrest us, right? Orange, tell me the truth, did you kill that guy... Shit!"

Qin Yan was adjusting the camera. Hearing this, he said without turning his head: "Fu Dasha, sometimes I really want to pour a pot of boiling water on your head to cleanse your brain."

"What kind of mess have you been thinking about all day?"

"No," Fu Le said excitedly, "It's "Incredible Journey"? Am I seeing it right?"

Jing Cheng nodded slowly: "I don't know if he is a liar."

Qin Yan had no idea what the two were talking about, so he walked over to look at his phone.

Fu Le said excitedly, "I remember! There was a rumor online that there was a reality show going to be filmed in the ancient city, but I didn't expect it to be this show! Holy shit! Orange, you're awesome!"

Jing Cheng turned his head and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this program?"

Fu Le glared and said, "What's the problem? Oh, there is indeed a problem. The problem is that it's super popular! If you participate in the show, I guarantee that you will be the next top star in the entertainment industry!"

Jing Cheng: “…” You are talking nonsense.

Others may not become popular even after being in the entertainment industry for several years, but how can an ordinary person like him become a big star by participating in a show?

"Director Zhao Yi?" Qin Yan carefully looked at the message sent by "Cameraman Xiao Qu" and thought for a moment, "I've seen this person before. He should be from my uncle's company."

Fu Le clapped his hands excitedly: "Since he is Uncle Qin's man, he must be absolutely reliable! Holy shit!"

Jing Cheng and Qin Yan looked at Fu Le together. What's wrong with this guy? He is always startled.

"Then isn't Yan Xiu also in this production team?" Fu Le's eyes widened, "I can actually see Senior Yan here."

Qin Yan had known about this for a long time and had mentioned it to Jing Cheng. He was not surprised to hear it, but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. He guessed that the shadow of their last meeting was still there, and he had a physiological aversion to this name.

Yan Xiu... Jing Cheng had felt that there was something wrong with this person when he had seen his photo before. It would certainly be better if he had the chance to observe him up close.

"Do you want to participate?" Qin Yan asked.

Jing Cheng did not answer his question, but asked: "What is this program about?"

"Supernatural reality shows are nothing more than finding some weird people or things to scare the audience." Qin Yan said, "I haven't watched it much, but I heard that this show is a bit dangerous. Last season, a cameraman who was filming the show got into an accident and is still in the hospital."

Jing Cheng was thoughtful, it turned out to be a supernatural program.

People nowadays really dare to take pictures of everything, but they did not choose the wrong location.

The ancient city is indeed very mysterious now.

Fu Le said, "How about it? Orange, do you really want to go? Two months is not a long time, and our school doesn't care about it anyway. If you really become a big star, I will be your first fan!"

Jing Cheng was not opposed to participating in the show, not to mention that there was money to be made, but...

"Don't you have to take an exam when you go back this time?"

"Hey!" Fu Le waved his hands. "That's not an exam. It's just a joke. The principal of our school always thinks of something. Maybe when we go back this time, he will notify us to cancel the exam."

"200,000 per episode, 12 episodes per season, that's 2.4 million. This is the highest price for an amateur."

2.4 million...

Jing Cheng seemed to see thousands and thousands of banknotes fluttering above his head. They gathered into a red ocean and rushed towards him in a turbulent manner.

He quickly shook his head and pushed the image out of his mind.

Wuliang Tianzun, has he been lucky in wealth recently? Why is it so easy for him to make money?

Qin Yan noticed that he seemed to be a little moved, so he reminded him: "Do you want to tell your family about this?"

After all, Jing Cheng is not a real amateur, and when the show is released, no one knows what news the media will write.

Jing Cheng hesitated and said, "Let's go and have a look first. It won't be too late to say anything after we confirm it."

What if it’s a scammer?

"Director Zhao, we have already discussed with the village chief of Bijia Village. When are we going there?" asked assistant director Xiao Zhang.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Qu, have you asked the person I asked you to find?" Zhao Yi pulled Xiao Qu, who was playing with her phone, over and asked, "Is he coming or not?"

Xiao Qu scratched his head and said depressedly: "You didn't reply to me, I guess you didn't see the message."

"You idiot! I should have let you stay there!" Zhao Yi said angrily, "Have you found out where he lives? Let's go and invite him in person."

"No, probably a tourist from out of town."

Zhao Yi recalled: "I seemed to see the young master of the Qin family at that time. The young Taoist priest might be his friend."

"Well, call your boss and ask first."

"No need to ask, he replied to me!"

Zhao Yi was stunned: "What?"

Xiao Qu said excitedly: "He is on his way here, he said he will be here in less than ten minutes."

.

That afternoon, the "Incredible Journey" program crew arrived at Bijia Village.

Bijia Village is a village located on the edge of the ancient city and is a traditional village.

What is a traditional village?

Traditional villages, also called ancient villages, retain the architectural style and customs and culture before the Republic of China, and have a cultural heritage with extremely high traditional cultural spirit - to put it bluntly, they are villages built before the Republic of China.

In recent years, "traditional villages" have become increasingly well-known with the development of tourism. Just because everyone has seen enough of the scenic spots and historical sites, travelers have begun to look for those hidden "paradise". As a result, "traditional villages" are inevitably exposed to the public's view.

This is how Bijia Village came into being.

However, Bijia Village is different from ordinary traditional villages. Many ancient villages have developed into "inn villages" with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

The villagers of Bijia Village have lived here for generations and are almost isolated from the outside world - the kind of isolation where no one can get in from the outside and no one can get out from the inside.

It all started when a few hikers accidentally discovered this place. They saw that the buildings in the village were simple and quaint, the villagers were dressed very rustically, and the mental outlook of the villagers was very different from that of people outside.

The hikers were pleasantly surprised and thought this was the legendary "Peach Blossom Spring". They wanted to stay here for the night and take photos. However, before they could do anything, they were discovered by a villager, who then gathered other people in the village and drove them away in a very rude manner.

The hikers were so embarrassed that some were even injured. One of the tourists was an internet celebrity who thought these villagers were simply uncivilized savages. He took photos from a distance and posted them online. He also talked about the incident in a later live broadcast.

Now that’s great, Bijia Village has become popular on the Internet and has been completely exposed to the eyes of netizens.

Since then, people have been coming to Bijia Village in an endless stream, and the village is always crowded with people.

The people of Bijia Village were fed up with it and still stubbornly kept everyone out, but even so, some of the "magical things" in Bijia Village were still discovered by some tourists.

Someone exposed what happened in Bijia Village on the Internet, but it did not cause any waves. Over time, everyone gradually forgot about Bijia Village.

However, that netizen was unwilling to give up and provided this information to the program crew when they were collecting information. So the "Incredible Journey" program crew came here to uncover the true face of this "magical place".

"So what is so magical about Bijia Village?" Jing Cheng asked curiously, why did that netizen want to expose this place so persistently?

"There is a god enshrined in this village." Zhao Yi smiled at him mysteriously.

"Isn't it just praying to the gods? What's so magical about it?" Fu Le said disdainfully, "We even worship Bigan, the God of Wealth."

Xiao Qu interrupted and said, "What they are worshipping is a person. It is said that this person can bring gods to his body, so the people in the village think he is a god and offer sacrifices to him every year."

"Invoking a spirit to possess you?" Jing Cheng was really surprised this time. In this day and age, there are still people who can do this?

"Yes, he is a top-notch god with an official position!"

Jing Cheng: “…”

Is it that awesome?
