After Jing Cheng finished speaking, he kept observing Yan Xiu and found that his expression did not change at all and he was still smiling gently, as if nothing could affect him.
To his surprise, the Yan Xiu in front of him was completely different from the person Qin Yan had described to him before.
Could it be that his previous judgment was wrong?
He signaled to Qin Yan with his eyes: What's going on?
Qin Yan, wearing a mask, only revealed his pair of sharp phoenix eyes. After receiving Jing Cheng's message, he shrugged helplessly. How could he know?
She had clearly asked people for information about him before, and acted as if she was going to pester him, but this time when they met, she treated him as a stranger, as if she had never seen him before.
Qin Yan simply couldn't imagine what Jing Cheng was thinking of him in his heart.
Jing Cheng believed that Qin Yan would never lie... Of course, there was no need for him to lie.
It’s just that the enemy is too cunning, disguised too well, and hiding too deeply.
"Oh?" Professor Fu asked with great interest, "From what you said, there really are gods in this world? What about the Yin God?"
...
...
Jing Cheng said, "They are nothing more than wandering ghosts. Or they may be attached to the tablets of gods. After years of receiving incense from believers, they develop a trace of consciousness. Over time, they can understand folk affairs. They are not comparable to the real gods."
"To put it bluntly, the Yin God is born from the will of believers. Once the will is gone, the Yin God will no longer exist."
He still remembered that in his time, it was very popular among the people to "invite gods to possess one's body", not to mention "Huang Daxian" and "Zhang Tianshi". At that time, Western culture was dominant, and there were even people who said that they had invited "Jesus", which was simply ridiculous.
If it were really so easy to summon gods to possess you, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Zhao Yi waved to the cameramen and asked them to point the cameras towards Professor Fu and Jing Cheng. Several cameramen were all filming Yan Xiu. What were they doing?
He was filming a multi-person reality show, not Yan Xiu’s solo show!
Xin Guang asked curiously, "Little Taoist priest, is it true that Bijia Village is praying to the gods? According to what you said, the gods cannot possess the body, so the gods they worship are ghosts? Has no one discovered it?"
Jing Cheng moved his mask up and said in a muffled voice, "If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. We'll know whether it's true or not when we enter the village."
Yang Hong stretched his waist and said, "Tsk, what Yin and Yang gods, they are all imagined by the ancients. If there are really gods in this world, I will twist my head off and let you kick it like a ball."
Everyone couldn't help but look at this young man in his early twenties wearing sportswear. He was sent in by the investor, saying that he was here to promote the company's products and advertise, but now it seems that he is not just an ordinary employee.
"By the way, I have a question." Yang Hong suddenly looked at Yan Xiu, who was sitting not far away and looking at his phone, and said in a strange tone, "Mr. Yan, some people say that you worshipped a fox fairy. Is this true or false?"
The others were shocked when they heard this. This Yang Hong is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. He dares to ask anything?
The cameraman excitedly quickly turned the camera to him, there’s something interesting!
"Eh?" Caught off guard by the cue, Yan Xiu was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Are you talking about me?"
Yan Xiu's voice is very attractive, and seems to have a strange magic that makes people intoxicated.
However, everyone was surprised to see that this top star had not spoken a word except for apologizing to everyone when he came.
Does this person have the awareness of being a top-tier traffic star?
"Is there anyone here with the surname Yan?" Yang Hong asked back with a hint of contempt in his tone.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt Yang Hong's hostility towards Yan Xiu.
They are two people who seem to have nothing to do with each other...
Even Jing Cheng couldn't help but look over, wanting to hear what Yan Xiu would answer.
Yan Xiu blinked and said softly, "I have never heard of the fox fairy you mentioned. Netizens' speculations cannot be taken seriously."
He looked at Mao Yinghou again and asked, "Sister Mao, what do you think?"
Mao smiled and said, "I am an atheist. Rather than praying to God when things go wrong, I believe in being down-to-earth. I remember that Xiaoyan was a college student before he entered the entertainment industry? He doesn't believe in these things."
Yang Hong sneered and said nothing more.
Anyone could see that he didn't believe what the two said.
Jing Cheng silently stared at Yan Xiu's graceful profile, thinking, "You talk so much, let's see when you're going to show your true colors."
Xin Guang tried to smooth things over in a good-natured way, changing the subject: "Aren't we talking about the issue of inviting a spirit to possess one's body? So is the spirit possessing one's body true or false? Why do I feel like this is just a rumor circulating among the people?"
Professor Fu shook his head and said, "Inviting gods to possess one's body is not just empty talk. It is said that this is a Taoist divination technique. It is mentioned in Mengxi Bitan that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the toilet god Zi Gu is welcomed, and divination is performed based on the jumping of the dolls... You probably have heard of it more or less. Nowadays, children like to play with the pen fairy. The so-called summoning the pen fairy is a way to invite gods."
Everyone listened silently, no one interrupted.
Professor Fu is a folk expert invited by the program team. He participated in one season of the program before, but later stopped recording due to a schedule conflict with his main job. Except for him, all the guests this season are participating in the program for the first time, so everyone shows him respect, not only because he is a veteran of the program, but also because of his profession.
Xin Guang smiled and said, "I know about the Pen Fairy. It's often played in horror movies. My child has played it with his classmates. It's all a lie."
"Little Taoist priest, do you know the Pen Fairy?" An Qi came close to Jing Cheng, stared at him curiously and asked, "Why do you wear a mask?"
As she spoke, she reached out towards Jing Cheng's face. She hadn't paid attention when she came here just now. She could only see that the young Taoist priest was not very old, but she didn't know what he looked like.
Jing Cheng turned his head away and glanced at her inexplicably: "Why do you mind me?"
An Qi pointed at Jing Cheng's nose, her face flushed red, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
An Qi, who is known as the "Otaku Goddess" by the outside world, fell into trouble twice with the same little boy. Everyone saw it. Although they didn't say anything, no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
An Qi clearly heard someone laughing. She turned her head and looked around. Several assistants and staff members all lowered their heads silently. Film Queen Mao stood aside with her arms crossed and a smile on her face, as if she hadn't seen An Qi's embarrassing scene just now.
But Anqi's face still looked ugly because she found that there was a camera facing her.
Fu Le, who was standing not far from the camera, saw this scene and poked Qin Yan's arm secretly: "Brother Yan, this woman seems to be interested in our Chengzi."
Qin Yan said coldly: "If you don't shut up, no one will treat you as a mute."
Fu Le: “…” The fun of the spectators lies in gossip. What’s the meaning of life without gossip?
Although Qin Yan showed no concern on his face, he took a few steps forward on his own accord and stopped between An Qi and Jing Cheng, just separating the two of them.
An Qi, who was facing the back of Qin Yan’s head: “…” What the hell?
Fu Le: Tsk, his brother Yan’s possessiveness…
At this moment, Director Zhao received a phone call. No one knew what the person on the phone said, but everyone saw that he suddenly frowned and looked unhappy.
Then he argued with the other party and hung up the phone after a long while.
When Zhao Yi made the call, he was quite far away from the others. They only vaguely heard him talking about time and money. Probably they finally came to an agreement, as his face had returned to normal when he hung up the phone.
Someone asked, "Director Zhao, is this a call from Bijia Village?"
"That's right."
"Is there a problem? Didn't we discuss this before?"
"Hi!" Zhao Yi said, "The person who contacted me was a small village official. He didn't discuss it with the villagers beforehand. He asked us to keep a low profile during the recording of the program and try not to make too much noise. The villagers here are very xenophobic."
"It's just a show, and they can make money, why wouldn't they be happy?" Yang Hong said in amazement, "This village is too closed."
"It's this kind of closed village that's interesting. Okay, the village official is still waiting for us. Let's go over there when it gets dark." Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's sit down and rest for a while."
Everyone looked sullen. Recording a show was like stealing, and they had to wait until dark. It was simply unreasonable.
However, that was how the director arranged it, and they could only listen.
The two female guests began to touch up their makeup. They could wear light makeup during the day, but they had to wear heavy makeup to stand out at night.
There was still some time before dark, and everyone was unfamiliar with each other and had no interest in chatting, so most of them were fiddling with their phones.
Professor Fu wandered around with his hands behind his back, chatting with the cameraman who was following him with a smile on his face.
Fu Le hesitated whether to go to Yan Xiu to ask for an autograph. He saw that Yan Xiu was surrounded by several female staff members and was taking photos with them.
Qin Yan looked at him coldly: "Don't tell me, you also want to take a photo?"
Fu Le said: "...No, I said I don't chase stars."
Qin Yan snorted and laughed: "Who knows you."
Fu Le: “…”
Jing Cheng walked up to Director Zhao and Xiao Qu and asked them if they were wearing their amulets.
Director Zhao and Xiao Qu were confused and took out the amulets they had kept in their pockets and handed them to him.
"What's the problem?"
Jing Cheng took a quick glance and felt that the amulet's spiritual energy had disappeared. It seemed that like Qin Yan's, it was almost useless.
He asked the two to put it away, sighed, and said, "Excuse me, I'm afraid this recording of the show will not end well."
"Why do you say that?" Zhao Yi asked in surprise, "I have specially hired professional bodyguards and accompanying doctors this time, so safety should be guaranteed."
"With the Taoist priest here, what can go wrong?" Xiao Qu said with a smile, "Besides, we are all together this time, so it won't be like last time, when we were too far away to handle the incident."
Jing Cheng thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "What I mean is that there are bad guys among our group. I can't guarantee that he will not take action. Once he chooses to take action, there will be casualties."
Director Zhao and Xiao Qu were stunned. What did this mean?
Seeing that Jing Cheng looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, Director Zhao hesitated and asked, "Who is this person?"
Xiao Qu guessed: "I just found that Yang Hong seems to be here with bad intentions. Is he trying to cause trouble?"
Jing Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not him. I came here just to give you a heads-up in advance. I hope you can cooperate with me when the time comes."
Director Zhao and Xiao Qu looked at each other.
Since there is a traitor, wouldn’t it be enough to find the person in advance?
If you don't tell them who the person is, aren't you really making fun of them?
Director Zhao finally nodded and expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with Jing Cheng's actions.
The young Taoist priest is a real talent. Since we have invited him, we should trust him.
…
After waiting for about an hour, the sky began to darken.
"Let's set off now." Zhao Yi said, "By the time we get there, it will probably be completely dark."
No one objected.
