A few hours ago, Jing Cheng and the other two followed the address Xiao Qu gave and navigated all the way to the business hotel.
Probably because there were celebrities staying in the hotel, the hotel had very thorough security. If Jing Cheng hadn't remembered to call Xiao Qu later, it would have taken them a lot of effort to get into the hotel.
There were only Director Zhao Yi and a few staff members in Conference Room 103. When they learned that Jing Cheng was not an ordinary person but the third son of the Jing Group who had just returned to China, everyone in the program crew was surprised. However, after the surprise, they were pleasantly surprised.
With the participation of the third son of the Jing family, the show will become even more exciting.
Your Excellency's side job is a Taoist priest, that's really interesting!
So when Qin Yan and Fu Le suggested that they also want to go, Director Zhao did not refuse.
The financial staff reminded Director Zhao that their travel budget might not be enough. The difference between nine guests and seven guests is not just in quantity. One more person means one more meal, accommodation, and other necessities... It will cost a lot of money along the way.
Director Zhao didn't take it seriously. What a joke! Qin Yan's status was equivalent to that of a small boss, and Fu Le was not a child from an ordinary family. How could this be measured by money? How could he be short of this little money?
Instead, Qin Yan and Fu Le took the initiative to propose that they would not participate in the recording of the program, but only follow the program crew, just to accompany Jing Cheng for fun, and all expenses on the way would be at their own expense.
Now the finance department has nothing to say.
...
...
For this purpose, Jing Cheng specially called Jing Rong to inform him that he was going to record the show. Jing Rong thought that he was also interested in the entertainment industry and suggested on the phone to send a few assistants to him, but Jing Cheng refused.
He agreed to record the show because he was interested in the show and also to meet the top stars in the entertainment industry and to confirm whether they were really associated with demons and not because he really wanted to be a star.
After Jing Cheng signed the contract, Zhao Yi made the decision: Since all the people are present, there is no need to waste time and they will set off for the first stop in the afternoon.
.
The decision had already been made, and the three had no choice but to change their original plans for climbing the mountain.
Jing Cheng felt a little regretful. One of the reasons why he chose to come to the ancient city was to go to Taiyin Mountain, which was the last place he went to before traveling through time, and also to check the situation of the Demon-Suppressing Monument.
Fu Le said: "Don't you Taoists have the magic of teleportation? Wouldn't it be just a blink of an eye to go to Taiyin Mountain?"
"Teleportation... Do you really think I'm a god?" Jing Cheng frowned.
"I looked it up, it seems to be called 'Five Ghosts Moving Technique'. It just summons five little ghosts to carry a sedan chair, and it can travel a thousand miles at night! It's awesome!"
Jing Cheng looked at him speechlessly and said, "Don't believe everything you hear. That is called the Five Ghosts Heaven Method, and the requirements for performing the spell are very high."
"Hey! To put it bluntly, you just can't do it!" Fu Le smacked his lips and said regretfully, "I originally wanted to see it for myself, but it seems that I can't do it now."
Jing Cheng was silent for a moment, then said, "It's okay if you want to see it. If you can help me prepare the materials for the spell, I'll let you see it."
"What material?"
Jing Cheng said slowly: "First, you have to find five fresh corpses for me. The time must be at the fifth watch of the fifth sunflower day. Write the name of the owner on the corpse, and burn one on each sunflower day..."
Fu Le: “…” Sorry to bother you.
"You can't run away from the mountain. We can go there anytime." Qin Yan was no longer surprised by Fu Le's failure. He packed the camera equipment and put it in the suitcase.
Then he turned to Jing Cheng and said, "But participating in a reality show is a rare experience. You don't always have the opportunity to do so."
"Why did you decide to go with them?" Jing Cheng was a little curious. He remembered that Qin Yan had clearly expressed his dislike for Yan Xiu before.
"Do I even need to ask this? There are so many adults among them, and you're the only student. Brother Yan must be worried." Fu Le had sharp ears, winked at Jing Cheng teasingly, and said with a grin, "When someone bullies you, just release Brother Yan! The power of the Charizard is not to be underestimated, spray them to death!"
Jing Cheng: “…”
Young man, do you have any misunderstandings about your brother Yan?
Since knowing Qin Yan, Jing Cheng has never seen him get angry, but he always hears about Qin Yan's past "glorious deeds" from others: "violent temper", "not easy to mess with", "made girls cry", "former school bullies were terrified of him and gave up their positions to him", etc. It is difficult for him to associate the boy who was quietly packing his luggage in front of him with the legendary "Charizard".
However, it would be fine if only one or two people said so, but if even childhood friends who grew up together said so, then there is a real problem.
After thinking for a while, Jing Cheng said, "How about this, when I have time, I will teach you the Taoist Heart Purification Mantra. Recite it once every morning and evening. This will help you calm your mind and reduce internal heat and dryness."
Upon hearing this, Fu Le couldn't help but slap the table and laugh wildly: "Hahahahahaha..."
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Jing Cheng with a half-smile and said, "Teacher taught us that it is better to release the anger than to block it. Just vent your anger."
“…………”
Jing Cheng felt a little uncomfortable under his straightforward gaze.
You have too much yang fire, but you are not burning with desire, so just let it go!
.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the program crew's business car came to pick up the three people.
After a bumpy ride, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon when we arrived at Bijia Village.
Everyone gathered at an inn a few kilometers away from Bijia Village, and Jing Cheng met the other six guests for the first time.
Jing Cheng and his two companions arrived first, followed by three other amateurs: folklore expert Professor Fu, retired athlete Xin Guang, and Yang Hong, an employee of the program's sponsor company.
There are three in the entertainment industry, in addition to Yan Xiu, there are two female stars.
The actress Mao Rongyan is in her early thirties, with a gentle and dignified appearance, and looks like she is not interested in the world. Last year, a movie she starred in was a big hit, and she just won three Best Actress awards. Recently, she starred in a supernatural movie that is about to be released. This time she came to the show mainly to promote the movie.
The young actress An Qi, who is 26 years old this year, was selected from a talent show. She has a very delicate appearance and you can tell that she had plastic surgery on her face. Her team created the image of a cheerful tomboy for her, so she has half male fans and half female fans.
But Jingcheng discovered through observation that this young actress named An Qi was not as "tomboy" as people said.
After waiting for only a few minutes, Jing Cheng heard An Qi complain no less than three times, complaining that the environment here was too bad and the air was too dry, which affected her skin, or she asked if they could drive in later because she didn't want to sweat.
Zhao Yi was not a good-tempered person. He was annoyed by her complaints and started to scold her: "Clap if you want, or get lost if you don't!"
An Qi's eyes turned red and she wanted to cry immediately, but then she found that no one paid attention to her except her assistant, so she had to grit her teeth and bear it.
Jing Cheng and the other two stood far away and watched, seeing her "instant change of expression" clearly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, she is very scheming. I guess she did this just to test her." Fu Le said, "When she saw that no one paid attention to her, she knew that there was no one here who would sympathize with women. She will definitely not dare to act like a demon again next time."
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan did not comment. Both of them had no interest in women, so whether they cried or not was none of their business.
Jing Cheng's target person, Yan Xiu, was the last to arrive.
Yan Xiu really lived up to his "beautiful face" and added a touch of color to the harsh environment here as soon as he arrived.
There must be no ugly guests who can come to record the show. Not to mention the two female stars, the remaining three male amateurs are also of different ages. Even though Professor Fu is over 40 years old, he looks elegant and has a scholarly temperament.
Qin Yan and Jing Cheng have the looks of campus male gods, and Fu Le is also a handsome guy.
Ke Yanxiu, however, outshines everyone here.
In other words, this person's beauty transcends gender limitations.
There were gasps coming from all around.
"How can there be someone so white? Look at the color of his lips, is he wearing makeup?" a female assistant gasped.
"No, it feels very natural," the person next to her answered.
"Why do I feel like... Yan Xiu's face has become more handsome?" Someone asked in a puzzled whisper, "Did he look like this yesterday?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Plastic surgery can't be done so quickly."
"How can you say she has a divine appearance..."
Yan Xiu was very polite. Knowing that he was late, he apologized to everyone first and asked his assistant to give everyone a small gift.
His voice was gentle, like a clear spring flowing through everyone's heart, making everyone intoxicated.
Zhao Yi was originally very angry because he had been waiting for him, but now that he saw him and heard him apologize in a nice voice, his anger immediately subsided and he began to look at Yan Xiu with more favor.
As expected of a top star in the entertainment industry, this kind of temperament and character is indeed unmatched by ordinary people...
Jing Cheng discovered that except for him and Qin Yan, almost everyone here was intoxicated, regardless of gender.
Jing Cheng stared at Yan Xiu sharply, there was indeed a problem!
Qin Yan frowned and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
Jing Cheng was the first to notice his condition: "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Yan rubbed his temples and said with a click of the tongue: "My head suddenly started buzzing, like it exploded."
He rubbed it twice and then put his hand down, as if nothing had happened. "Strange, it's fine again."
Jing Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Take out the amulet and show it to me."
"what are you up to?"
Qin Yan obediently took out the talisman that Jing Cheng had drawn for him last night from his pocket and handed it to him.
Jing Cheng didn't answer, and said, "Tear open the talisman paper yourself."
Qin Yan opened the talisman in confusion, thinking that he was playing another trick.
Jing Cheng saw that the color of the cinnabar on the talisman had indeed become much darker.
He sighed and reached out to take the amulet from Qin Yan's hand.
Qin Yan: “?”
Jing Cheng explained: "It's already a useless talisman. It's useless for you to wear it. I'll throw it away and draw another one for you later."
Qin Yan: “???”
Wasn’t this a new talisman that I just drew last night? How could it be ruined so soon?
What surprised Jing Cheng was that he could not sense any foul aura from Yan Xiu, and he looked like an ordinary person.
I worked with the cameraman to give Yan Xiu several close-up shots, and also focused on recording other people's expressions when they saw Yan Xiu.
Jing Cheng and the others quickly put on masks. Before coming, Jing Cheng had already learned about the program crew's routine from Fu Le. At times like this, they usually record the "dog-licking emoticon package" to highlight everyone's shock when they saw Yan Xiu. He didn't want to be on camera because of this.
Zhao Yi introduced everyone to each other. In addition to the seven guests including Jing Cheng and the two bystanders Qin Yan and Fu Le, the program team also invited several retired soldiers and two accompanying doctors for everyone's safety.
The six guests had met last night, and only now heard that there would be a professional Taoist priest accompanying the show. But I didn’t expect the Taoist priest to be so young!
They just saw the three little boys standing together and thought that some staff member had brought the children, or that they were Director Zhao’s relatives or something.
I don’t know his identity until I hear it, and I’m shocked when I hear it.
This child has a pair of big, fair and tender eyes and looks like a minor. How could he be a professional Taoist priest?
Athlete Xin Guang is nearly two meters tall, and Jing Cheng looks like a little baby standing next to him.
But Queen Mao came over and looked at Jing Cheng in doubt: "Your last name is Jing? Then what about you and Lu Qingyi?"
Jing Cheng: "...Do you know her?"
Queen Mao nodded hesitantly and whispered, "You are the Second Young Master Jing... No, you are the Third Young Master, right?"
Jing Cheng glanced at her and said nothing.
Queen Mao knew that he had tacitly agreed, and her attitude towards him became much more relaxed.
The others had no idea what they were talking about and thought the boy knew Queen Mao, so they pointed in their direction and whispered.
An Qi looked at Jing Cheng again and again, and couldn't help but ask: "Little Taoist priest, have you come of age this year?"
Jing Cheng didn't want to answer her question and just ignored her words.
An Qi couldn't hold back her expression. Seeing Qin Yan lazily standing aside with his arms crossed, she asked, "What about them? Are they Taoists too?"
Qin Yan glanced at her and said, "No."
Fu Le smiled and said, "We are just here to have fun, you guys can take your own pictures, just pretend we don't exist."
"Come here to play?" An Qi said in disbelief, "Director Zhao, you are kidding, right? We are recording a show, not taking care of children!"
Bringing children...
Although the three little boys look like students, their heights cannot be considered “children”, right?
Zhao Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, this is a small boss, how dare you talk to him like that, be careful that he will go back and tell his parents, and you, a little star, will soon become a nobody.
Turning around, I saw Qin Yan looking at An Qi coldly with an expression that said "you're finished".
Zhao Yi quickly said, "They are Daozhang Jing's companions. They have nothing to do with you. Just take care of yourself."
An Qi: “…”
Professor Fu was very interested in Jing Cheng: "Little friend, I know a few Taoist friends who have studied Taoist culture a little. We can discuss it together when we have time."
kid……
Jing Cheng thought that my age was more than twice yours, but he said, "It's an honor."
…
No one can change what Director Zhao has decided, so no matter what everyone thinks about Jing Cheng, the "professional Taoist priest", they all agree on the surface that Jing Cheng is a Taoist priest.
After Xiaoqu told the story of someone in Bijia Village who was able to "invite gods to possess him", people had different reactions.
Xin Guang and Yang Hong are staunch atheists. They sneered at this, and the disdain on their faces was obvious.
The cameraman took a close-up shot of the two of them.
Most people in the entertainment industry are superstitious. Although Queen Mao and An Qi said that this was a trick, they didn't think so in their hearts.
Professor Fu looked at Jing Cheng: "What do you think, Mr. Jing?"
Jing Cheng shook his head and said, "It should be fake."
"What do you mean?"
"The Taoist scriptures say: True gods cannot possess a body, and those who possess a body are not true gods. The so-called 'inviting gods to possess a body' is simply alarmist and blasphemous to the true scriptures."
At this point, Jing Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Xiu, who had been standing quietly among the crowd, and said word by word: "The only ones who can possess a body are evil spirits that are worshipped by the common people, or demons."

The author has something to say:
As for Yan Xiu, he is actually not a bad person.
