Because it was the first time that China held this idol star sports meeting, and it was broadcast live, all participating players were required to follow the standards of a regular sports meeting and stay in the sports village.
During the entire competition, unless there were special circumstances that allowed them to ask for leave, they could only leave the sports village after their schedule was over, preferably until the closing ceremony.
Boss Feng thought this request was simply great, and gave the chief director 10,000 big thumbs up!
Luo Xi believed it and nodded to show that she understood. She was still very dedicated to the work she had agreed to.
Boss Feng was very happy to see that his deception was successful.
This idol star sports meeting did have this rule, but it was not enforced. After all, the participating players were all people in the entertainment industry, and some of them had more schedules, so it was impossible for them to stay in the player village all the time.
But there was no need to tell Luo Xi about this, since she had so much free time recently that she could grow mushrooms. Instead of staying with Lu Haozhi, it would be safer to send her to the Athletes Village.
Boss Feng thought about picking up Luo Xi tomorrow and stuffing her into the Sports Village.
It was almost time to start, and there were still rehearsals for the opening ceremony, and many people had already moved in.
After finishing the most important part, Boss Feng asked her what project she wanted to sign up for.
Luo Xi soaked in the luxurious bathtub and muttered lazily, "Whatever."
Boss Feng was drunk to hear this unambitious voice. Does this guy understand why he wants to participate in this!
The boss had no choice but to coax his own artist, who was not up to the task and was a treasure that he could not bear to hit or scold. He said, "Then you should sign up for swimming. It's safer." "
Yes."
"If you don't have any suggestions, I'll sign up for it."
"Yes."
Boss Feng: "..."
Seeing that the topic could not be discussed any further and Luo Xi's mind was not on him at all, Boss Feng had to hang up the phone silently.
Australia
Lu Runhua's residence in Australia is very luxurious, located in a famous wealthy area in Australia. Because of Lu Runhua's special status, many media stayed for a while after he moved in with Sun Wei.
However, Lu Runhua rarely went out after moving in. He would occasionally bask in the sun in the courtyard and rarely went out.
The media did not get any useful news, so they left in disappointment.
The butler took today's newspaper and gave it to Lu Runhua. He knocked on the door of the study a few times and pushed the door open after hearing the permission to enter.
"Sir, newspaper."
The butler put the newspaper and tea on the table and looked at the things in Lu Runhua's hand with a little surprise.
Lu Runhua leaned back in the chair, playing with a statue of... a god?
The butler didn't know much about Taoism. At most, he could tell that this was probably a Taoist statue, but he didn't know which god it was.
The statue had a ferocious face, a tiger face and a human body, a skull on its head, a long sword in its hand, and a bloody mouth wide open, like a ghost, fierce and abnormal.
It was about one foot high, and it didn't look like it was made of wood, gold or jade. It was painted with bright colors, but it didn't look new. It had a weird feeling from head to toe. Logically, such a weird statue shouldn't appear in the hands of the master.
With Lu Runhua's status, even if he prayed to the gods, he should have worshipped the Three Pure Ones Buddha.
But now the master was playing with this statue with a tiger face and a human body, and he seemed to like it so much that he didn't want to let it go.
The housekeeper asked hesitantly, "Sir, what is this..."
In the housekeeper's impression, he had never picked up such a thing. It didn't pass through his hands, so it must have been brought out by the master himself?
Lu Runhua handed the statue to the housekeeper and asked him to take a closer look. "This is Wei Xing Shen, the fifth of the seven northern Xuanwu stars, also known as Wei in Taoism."
The housekeeper looked at the statue in his hand, not understanding why the master was interested in such a statue.
Looking at the Taoist gods, there are many higher-level ones than Wei. And in his impression, Wei Xing Shen doesn't seem to be very auspicious.
According to the record in "Sui Shu": [The three stars of Wei are responsible for building houses in Tianfu Tianku, and the rest are the same as Xu Zhan. If the stars are not clear, the guest will be punished. If they move, the king will build a palace and do earthwork. The four stars of tombs belong to Wei, and they are responsible for crying and filling tombs. If the stars are not clear, there will be drought in the world. If they move, there will be funerals.]
Wei Xing Shen symbolizes killing and death, so the statues are all presented as tigers, wearing weapons and armor.
In addition to the Book of Sui, many other ancient books also have records: [Wei Xing God, who likes to cry, is stubborn, jealous, and murderous.]
How could the master hold such a statue that symbolizes the unknown?
The housekeeper wanted to say something, but gave up.
The master has never been someone who needs others to intervene and make decisions. It was like this before, and it is still like this now. That thing... must be unusual.
The housekeeper put Wei Xing God back on the table and retreated quietly.
...
In the study, Lu Runhua picked up the statue again and played with it. He looked at the statue carefully, as if looking for something.
The craftsmanship of the statue looks simple, the shape is exaggerated, the colors are bright, and the material that is neither gold nor jade is more like a stone. It feels heavy in the hand.
Generally, stone statues of this size that are not large are mostly solid, but Lu Runhua looked like he wanted to find something inside the statue.
He looked back and forth several times, but seemed to have found nothing.
Lu Runhua placed the statue on the table and began to tap it with his fingers.
When he tapped a certain part, the tapping sound was slightly different.
The difference in the sound was not obvious, but Lu Runhua had obviously studied it carefully and did not miss this anomaly.
He opened the drawer and took out a whole set of fine tools. They looked like those used for carving, and some looked like the smaller and more delicate tools used for watch repair.
Lu Runhua was busy with the tools at the place where the strange sound came from for a long time, and suddenly there was a slight "click" sound from the inside of the statue, as if something was opened.
He threw away the tools and this time looked at the statue carefully. He found that there was a thin seam between the tiger head and the neck of the Weixing God, which seemed to be able to be twisted open.
He reached out and fiddled with it, and it was indeed twisted open.
He took off the tiger head of the Weixing God and looked down from the neck. A dark hole was revealed in the body of the statue.
Lu Runhua only felt a sinister and terrifying breath blowing towards him, as if he was being stared at with murderous intent by an ancient giant beast, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
The feeling was fleeting, but Lu Runhua leaned back in his chair for a long time without coming back to his senses, as if he was still in shock.
After a long pause, he came back to his senses, wiped his forehead, and smiled softly.
It was actually true.
The things written on that piece of paper actually existed.
With this, perhaps the picture he expected to see will finally become a reality.
Lu Runhua smiled and pushed the head of the God of Wei Xing back to cover the dark little mouth.
The statue returned to its normal appearance. Except for the weird face, there was nothing unusual about it.
After carefully putting away the statue, Lu Runhua smiled and flipped through the documents on the table. The one at the bottom was a detailed record of Li Jia's dismissal.
The incident was clearly written in black and white, and there were even some things that outsiders didn't know.
For example: the man who was said to have returned to his hometown to get married actually changed his identity and went abroad.
Another example: Li Jia asked a master to exorcise the evil spirit, but the master took the Yin Huai Sha wood carving away after the ritual.
The master studied the wood carving carefully and found that the Yin Huai Sha was almost useless. The wood carving was dry and cracked. The evil spirit generated after the offering did not return to the body, and it was obviously swallowed up.
The evil spirit of the Yin Huai Sha needs to be nourished by the blood of the worshiper, so that once it encounters an irresistible master, the evil spirit will return to the body along with the blood of the worshiper. This is also the reason why the Yin Huai Sha can be reused.
But the evil spirit of this Yin Huai Sha did not come back. The locust tree is yin, and it is not easy to eliminate, but extremely yin and evil things can devour each other.
What does this mean...
Lu Runhua laughed.
It means that his good son is really amazing, and he can actually devour the evil spirit of the Yin Huai Sha.
Black cats are also yin, and there are unusual records in various legends. In addition, Lu Haozhi's cat shape has grown abnormally slowly over the years. Lu Runhua has long suspected that his son might be the legendary monster.
Since it is a monster, there must be some differences.
But Lu Haozhi has been hiding very well over the years, and no matter how he tried, he didn't show any flaws.
But now, he was still tested out.
Lu Runhua felt that it was worthwhile to exchange the Lu Group for this result. After all, he had no interest in the Lu Group at all, and it was good to let Lu Haozhi relax his vigilance.
Lu Runhua put away the statue in a good mood and took a sip of tea.
Now that everything is clear, it is almost time to move on to the next step.
As the first official idol star sports meeting in China, with the participation of the top, the main theme is particularly positive.
It is necessary to promote the spirit of fair, just and open sports, encourage big and small stars in the entertainment industry to actively participate, spread positive energy to the public, and change the stale atmosphere in the entertainment industry.
Under this premise, the scale of this idol star sports meeting was particularly large.
There are many events, and each specialty is equipped with referees and coaches. The contestants are divided into teams according to their agencies and are equipped with team leaders.
The schedule and rules are in accordance with regular sports games. Several satellite TV stations broadcast the entire competition live, and it is said that those who perform well will have the opportunity to be on Central News.
As soon as this idol star sports meeting of this level and scale was announced, the popularity soared.
Because of its wide popularity, almost all big and small celebrities of the right age, whether actors or singers, and companies with a little bit of strength have secured places for their artists to participate.
Fans almost fainted when they saw the gorgeous list, screaming "Ahhhhhhh", wanting to see the other side of their own stars.
Passersby also found it quite novel. Compared with the various singing talent shows that people are almost tired of watching, this new variety show that is comparable to a regular sports meeting is more interesting. And judging from the scale of the promotion, there is no need to worry about the poor quality.
Only some sports fans are dismissive. What's so good about a group of actors in the entertainment industry coming out to show off? They are just using the name of sports to attract attention. Those who are in the entertainment industry can't show the true charm of sports at all!
Luo Xi also got the qualification to participate in this star sports meeting through Gong Xu. Because she was the only one participating in Batian Entertainment, she was mixed in the team of Feiteng Entertainment.
This time, the participating teams are divided according to the various entertainment companies. People from small companies and studios with a small number of people will be mixed into other large companies.
Boss Feng was reluctant to let his baby join the Feiteng Entertainment team, but thinking that Limo would take care of him there, he accepted it reluctantly.
Limo was indeed considerate. She called Luoxi and reminded her to remember to sign up for the events she was good at, and most importantly, to excel.
Even though this sports meet was very sporty, all of their participants were in the entertainment industry, and the fundamental purpose was still for popularity.
Limo signed up for rhythmic gymnastics. She learned it for a while when she was a child, so she had a foundation. After a period of intensive training, she would definitely be beautiful and fairy-like when she was on the stage.
Boss Feng originally wanted to sign up Luoxi for the butterfly stroke. This swimming style was the most beautiful, and with Luoxi's face, she would look like a lotus emerging from the water.
However, when he asked Luoxi for her opinion, he found out that this guy didn't know how to swim the butterfly stroke at all.
Luo Xi is a good swimmer, but she swims as she pleases in the water. Her posture is beautiful, but strictly speaking, that posture has nothing to do with the four popular swimming styles in major competitions.
International swimming competitions are generally butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle. Except for freestyle, there is no specific swimming style stipulated, and the other three have strict requirements.
Even in freestyle, because the crawl stroke has a reasonable structure and low resistance in the water, it is the most labor-saving swimming style, so basically all freestyle swimmers will use the crawl stroke.
Luo Xi has nothing to do with the four swimming styles, and it is too late to correct it now, so the boss had to sign her up for freestyle. At least this does not strictly limit swimming styles and does not violate the competition rules.
Women's freestyle includes 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and 4X100 meters, 4X200 meters relay. Boss Feng wanted to sign Luo Xi up for the 50m and 100m events. In swimming competitions, the short distance events have always been the focus of viewership, and the exciting speed makes people's blood boil.
But seeing Luo Xi in the past soaking in the swimming pool, paddling slowly in the water, he silently changed the short distance event to the 800m long distance freestyle.
Rather than participating in the short distance event and being eliminated in the preliminary round, where there are only a few shots, it is better to go for the long distance event.
After all, they are people who can drag two people to swim for several hours in a tsunami, so it should be no problem for them to enter the finals of the 800-meter freestyle. In order to get more shots of Luo Xi, the boss is also very worried.
After reporting the project to Luo Xi, Boss Feng was very active and planned to squeeze her into the athlete village.
In order to prevent Lu Haozhi from obstructing, he did not inform her in advance and went to pick her up directly.
As a result, Luo Xi was not there.
Lu Haozhi opened the door for Boss Feng with a calm face, and then was glared at by Boss Feng.
He looked at Boss Feng silently and felt that this man was getting more and more courageous. At first, he was short of breath when he even looked at himself, and then he scolded him over the phone line. Now it has developed to the point where he slams the table and glares in front of him.
Is this bullying?
Do you think that he won't do anything to him for Luo Xi's sake?
Boss Feng didn't believe that Luo Xi was not there at all, and felt that Lu Haozhi must be disturbing him.
Lu Haozhi said slowly: "She went to a party."
"Party? What party?" Boss Feng was suspicious.
Luo Xi's interpersonal relationships are extremely simple. The ones who are slightly closer to her are Lina and Li Mo. But as far as Boss Feng knows, Li Mo is currently out of town to attend a business event. Lina went to take care of Qin Ran. It is said that Young Master Qin was finally scared by the evil spirit.
Apart from these two people, Gong Xu was busy with post-production and had no time.
Luo Xi looked like she wanted to soak in water 24 hours a day. Who else could she be close to enough to go out for a party?
Lu Haozhi handed him an invitation.
Boss Feng looked down and suddenly felt blind.
[Taoist Social Exchange Conference]
Boss Feng stared at the invitation with twitching eyes, "Now Taoist priests can socialize!?"
It was agreed that they can't get married!
Are these Taoist priests going to heaven!
Lu Haozhi didn't say anything, and used his eyes to express, "Your idea is really dirty."
The word socialize does not refer exclusively to men and women parties. Friendly exchanges between fellow disciples can also be called socializes.
Of course, Lu Haozhi knew that these were just a cover, and those people in the inner world used this excuse to get close to Luo Xi. Rather than calling it a socialize, it's better to say that it's a tea party for fellow Taoists to attract Luo Xi.
Boss Feng looked at the invitation and felt uneasy. He always felt that the Taoist sect was too enthusiastic about Luo Xi.
He asked tentatively, trying to get some information from Lu Haozhi: "Why can Luo Xi attend this social event? Didn't the Taoist sect always have a very high attitude in the past?"
Although they were not arrogant in the past, the Taoist sect always had a sense of alienation for ordinary people. They are a circle of their own, and even if ordinary people donate a lot of incense, they are just pilgrims in their eyes.
Luo Xi is not like this, who is invited every other day.
This trend is not right, they are too enthusiastic, is their Taoist sect's aloofness gone to waste! ?
Lu Haozhi looked at him sympathetically, and said slowly: "She has a high talent in Taoism..."
Boss Feng was stunned, and his first reaction was how Lu Haozhi knew that Luo Xi had a talent in that area! Could it be that the news that Luo Xi could catch ghosts had leaked out?
He laughed and tried: "What are you talking about? Feudal superstition is not credible. What kind of talent can it have..."
Lu Haozhi did not answer, but gave Boss Feng a look, letting him figure it out himself.
The boss cursed, damn, the news really leaked out!
Who could it be?
That fake Taoist Zhang didn't see Luo Xi catching ghosts. Even if he guessed it, he shouldn't be so stupid as to tell others. Wouldn't that ruin his own reputation?
Is that someone in the company? That
's not right. The remaining people in the company know everything, and no one will gossip after he tells them.
It seems that either the person from the Qin family let it slip, or the person surnamed Feng from Durian Daily saw Luo Xi catching ghosts that night.
The boss is more inclined to believe that it was Qin Ran who let it slip. With the integrity of the person from Durian Daily, if he really saw it, would he not expose it? On the contrary, the Qin family is also in the business circle. If Qin Ran leaked the news and Lu Haozhi, who is in the same circle, heard it, it would be normal.
Qin Ran was blamed for no reason. The boss cursed Qin Ran a thousand times in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't resist, so he could only remind Lu Haozhi not to talk nonsense outside.
The main tone of the upper level is still not to promote feudal superstition. Even if you know that there are unscientific things like ghosts in this world, you have to pretend not to see it at certain times.
Luo Xi is not here and can't come back for a while. Even if Boss Feng is unwilling, he can only give up the idea of shoving Luo Xi into the player village today.
He was too lazy to stare at Lu Haozhi, and got up to leave, but was stopped by Lu Haozhi.
Boss Feng narrowed his eyes and used his eyes to support his momentum.
What are you doing? Want to fight? I'm not afraid of you.
Lu Haozhi stopped him and slowly dropped another bomb: "...Do you know that she has a problem with her sexual orientation?"
Boss Feng scratched his ears, thinking that he was hallucinating. That Lu Haozhi from the Lu family was actually gossiping with him! ?
Who?
Whose sexual orientation is problematic?
Other people's sexual orientation is problematic, and it's none of my business.
I didn't expect you to be this kind of Lu Haozhi. Such gossip doesn't fit your aloof personality!
In Lu Haozhi's calm and deep eyes, Boss Feng finally realized that this person might be someone he knew. And the only person he and Lu Haozhi could chat with was... Luo Xi!!!
Boss Feng jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, "Who are you talking about!? Luo Xi? That's impossible!"
Lu Haozhi calmly stated a fact that upset Boss Feng: "She told me in person that she doesn't like men."
Boss Feng: "!!!"
Boss Feng would rather Lu Haozhi was playing a trick on him than believe it. But he knew clearly that Lu Haozhi would never be so boring and low-level as to joke about such a thing.
So what is the situation now, his baby bump might actually be a lesbian! ?
Boss Feng has no opinion on lesbians, he respects everyone's choice. Sexual orientation is often innate, and no one can change it.
In recent years, the world has gradually become more tolerant of this, but in China, it is still relatively conservative.
Even though the entertainment industry is very popular now, selling gay and lesbian relationships, and there are many movies and TV series that skirt the line. Some beautiful actresses can easily gain favor by playing lesbian and skirting the line.
But the premise of all this is that everything is fake. The hype of lesbian relationships can be explained as sisterly love and good relationships.
Once it really becomes a lesbian relationship, not to mention the strange eyes of others, it will be difficult for Chinese parents to get over it.
As public figures, celebrities in the entertainment industry often play a guiding role. If it is really a lesbian, some traditional parents will definitely be furious, fearing that it will have a bad effect on their children.
If this is true, under the current situation in China, it is equivalent to cutting off Luo Xi's path in the entertainment industry.
Boss Feng panicked for a while, and with a feeling of luck, he sent a message to Luo Xi, asking if she was available to talk now. After receiving a positive reply, he carefully sent a message about sexual orientation, asking her tactfully if she really didn't like men.
Luo Xi seemed to be busy, and after a few minutes she only replied with one word: [Yeah. ]
Boss Feng almost stared at the word "Yeah" on the screen, and once again felt the pain in his liver.
Lu Haozhi glanced at Boss Feng's gloomy face, and quietly dug a trap: "She is still young, sometimes it may be an illusion, but it may not be impossible to change it back."
"You mean..."
Boss Feng cheered up a little.
Yes, Luo Xi was an orphan before, and she was only 19 years old and had not yet opened up in terms of love. Maybe she was wrong.
Lu Haozhi said calmly: "Especially at this time, the more she should be exposed to excellent men, such as me."
Boss Feng: "..."
Boss Feng was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help cursing.
He said how could Lu Haozhi be so kind, not only letting him in, but also taking the initiative to ask Luo Xi's questions. It turned out that all these were paving the way, and the purpose was waiting here!
This guy has always been greedy for their Luo Xi! He
even used excellent men to describe himself, where is his face? This face is thicker than the city wall, and he doesn't even blush!
Lu Haozhi seemed to be unaware of what Boss Feng was thinking, and he tolerantly suggested: "So I think there is no need to live in the Players Village. There are too many people there. Do you want to let her live in the same room with Limo?"
If he had a choice, Boss Feng really didn't want to pay attention to Lu Haozhi, but every word Lu Haozhi said was on point.
He hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a voice: "You just don't want Luo Xi to leave here!"
Lu Haozhi didn't say anything, and his calm look seemed to acquiesce.
Boss Feng finally gritted his teeth and jumped into the pit dug by Lu Haozhi.
Under the premise that Luo Xi clearly stated that she "didn't like men", the danger of letting Luo Xi live in the same room with Limo in the Players Village was obviously greater than the risk of maintaining the status quo.
Even if Lu Haozhi has feelings for Luo Xi, he will not force her if Luo Xi disagrees. After all, he is the head of the Lu family. On this point, Boss Feng is still willing to believe in his humanity.
The most important thing is that Boss Feng used to oppose Luo Xi's love, but now he is eager for her to have a relationship, even if the object is Lu Haozhi, at least it can prove that her sexual orientation is not crooked.
No wonder Lu Haozhi wanted to use such an unreliable thing as singing to cats to abduct Luo Xi. I'm afraid that if he confessed his love through normal means, he would be rejected and get the sad answer of "she doesn't like men". This is simply too miserable.
Thinking of that scene, Boss Feng felt a little sympathy for Lu Haozhi.
Suddenly, I felt that this guy was barely sincere. Despite all the obstacles from me and after receiving such a tragic reply, he was still able to persevere in his pursuit of Luo Xi.
If Lu Haozhi couldn't change the situation, it would be difficult for other men to impress Luo Xi.
After all, judging from his conditions, Lu Haozhi is rich and handsome, and is definitely the object of women's covetousness. His personality is not as difficult to describe as Gong Xu. If such a man really likes someone, it would be difficult for a woman to refuse him.
...
After dealing with the ill-intentioned Boss Feng, Lu Haozhi was in a good mood and sent a message to Luo Xi calmly.
[What do you want to eat tonight? ]
The other party didn't reply to him for a long time.
Lu Haozhi hesitated slightly, and was about to send another message when Luo Xi called.
After pressing the call button, her soft and excited voice came from the other end of the receiver -
"Lu Haozhi, Xiaoguai doesn't seem to be an ordinary cat, it's a cat demon! Those Taoists say that black cats are psychic and can devour evil spirits. They are the cat kings who occupy the mountains in the records!"
Lu Haozhi: "..."
No, he is just an ordinary human of the cat family subspecies, and he has no interest in occupying the mountain.
Luo Xi continued happily: "Are you at home? Send Xiaoguai over, there are some good things for it here. The address is XXXXX, come quickly, I'm waiting for you."
Lu Haozhi looked at the hung up phone and silently began to think about whether the Taoist tea party was not very reliable. What kind of nonsense were they talking about? Why did even the cat king come out?
The most important thing is how he and Xiaoguai can show up at the same time.
Luo Xi had seen him swallow the evil spirit in cat form, so if she sent that ordinary kitten, would she be suspected?
The one who invited Luo Xi to the Taoist social gathering this time was not Zhang Ke, but the high-level Taoist who performed the ritual at the blessing ceremony, that is, the old Taoist who was wearing the "celestial cave clothes" and seemed to have made eye contact with the little golden dragon.
This person's surname is Li, and he is the master of Sanqing Temple. He is almost sixty years old this year and is well-known in R City where Sanqing Temple is located.
After the blessing ceremony at Baiyun Temple, Master Li did not leave the imperial capital immediately, but participated in a series of Taoist activities in the imperial capital and has been living in the Taoist Association recently. Master Li
suddenly invited Luo Xi to participate in the Taoist tea party with such an identity, and also specifically and cryptically told her to bring her "little friend" with her.
Luo Xi pondered over this little partner in quotation marks for a while. If he could say that, he definitely wasn't referring to Qin Ran and the others. Combined with what happened at Baiyun Temple before, she thought that maybe Li Guanzhu was referring to Little Golden Dragon?
If Li Guanzhu suddenly invited Luo Xi and said that he had no other intentions, no one would believe it.
But since Luo Xi showed off her skills at the prayer and salvation ceremony, there were so many people who were on good terms with her, so Li Guanzhu's behavior was not particularly abrupt. After
receiving the invitation, Luo Xi naturally planned to go and see Li Guanzhu's purpose.
Only Little Golden Dragon panicked for a moment, clinging to her tightly, tears in his eyes, afraid that he would be skinned and fried in a cauldron.
The aura of Li Guanzhu made the little golden dragon feel a little bothered. It was not particularly uncomfortable, but just a little numb, and it always felt that his eyes were too hot and excited.
Luo Xi comforted the little golden dragon for a long time, and promised not to let anyone see it if it didn't want to, and then it calmed down.
Luo Xi knew that the little golden dragon was uneasy, but she was confident that she could protect it. It was precisely because she didn't know what Li Guanzhu was up to that she wanted to take a look, otherwise it would only get worse if she kept being passive.
...
The Taoist tea party was not quite what Luo Xi imagined. She watched TV dramas in which a group of Taoists sat in the simplest and most spacious meditation room in the Taoist temple, each with a cushion, sitting in a circle, talking solemnly and in a low voice.
As a result, I went there according to the address, but I found myself in the Taoist Association.
There was no futon in the house, but there were tables, chairs and benches. There were melon seeds, peanut candies and some vegetarian snacks on the table. A room full of Taoists sat around and chatted, and the noise was particularly down-to-earth.
"Humans and animals are so harmonious..."
Luo Xi murmured to herself, surprised by the scene in front of her. There were not only Taoists in the house, but also many animals. Looking around, there were roosters, snakes, dogs, hedgehogs... and a yellow-brown animal with a thin head, a thin body, a long neck, short ears, short limbs, and a tail . After looking around and not seeing Master Li, Luo Xi stood in the corner to observe the situation in the house. But she didn't know that since she entered the door, the Taoists in the house had been chatting happily, and they glanced at her again and again from the corners of their eyes, and exchanged information silently after looking at her. [Ah, that must be the heir of Qin Tianxing, right? Do the Shuiguan clan choose people based on their looks? Qin Tianxing was a disaster back then. I don’t know how many marriages were ruined because of that face. I didn’t expect that this generation is even worse, beautiful women are the cause of disaster. ] [That is also a capable disaster. Have you seen the Taiyin Merit Water Method? You should also make one before you talk about it. ] [I heard that the girl is very good at drawing talismans. I wonder if I can see it with my own eyes today. ] [From what Master Li said, this girl also has ‘that’. I wonder what kind of ‘that’ she is. ] [Be patient, Master Li will come and you will know. ] ... The Taoists communicated secretly and looked Luo Xi up from head to toe. She muttered to herself, this girl doesn't look special when she's not drawing talismans or performing rituals. Apart from that exceptionally outstanding face, she looks like an ordinary girl, which is really deceptive. Luo Xi didn't realize that she had become the focus of these Taoists. Master Li was not there, and she didn't know any of the Taoists present. Seeing that no one greeted her and the other Taoists were sitting around in groups of three or four chatting, she was happy and comfortable. She stood in the corner and looked at the most abrupt group of animals in the room. The group of animals also stayed in the corner, not far from Luo Xi. The Taoists brought animals to the tea party, and at first glance it looked like a market selling game. Many of those animals are regular guests on the table. Luo Xi was quite curious, because those animals actually gathered together, without fighting each other, and were actually in harmony. Chickens, hedgehogs and dogs are fine, but snakes are ferocious animals, but they can also obediently curl up like mosquito coils and lie there motionless. Luo Xi was thinking about it when someone outside said something. It seemed that the newly replaced tables, chairs and benches from the Taoist Association had arrived and were to be moved to the newly built house, and they needed help. The Taoists in the house responded enthusiastically and went out to help. The young man who asked people to help smiled at Luo Xi and motioned her to wait here for a while. There were not too many tables, chairs and benches, so the girl didn't need to go. ... After everyone had left, only Luo Xi and the animals were left in the house staring at each other. The little golden dragon looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he didn't send a message in his mind, but asked in a low voice: "Are those guys lunch? I like to eat braised chicken." As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the big rooster that was pecking beans happily suddenly stopped moving, as if it was scared and didn't even dare to eat beans. Doudou looked at Luo Xi's direction with dead eyes. Luo Xi pinched the little golden dragon silently: "You scared me, don't mention braised chicken for no reason, didn't we just eat stir-fried chicken yesterday." The little golden dragon changed his easy-going tone and looked at the black dog in confusion: "But I don't like dog meat hot pot very much..." The big black dog stared at Luo Xi with his eyes, and he didn't know if he understood it, and suddenly "barked", and he looked absolutely angry. Luo Xi smiled apologetically at the black dog, and reached out to pinch the little golden dragon's mouth: "Shut up, the Taoists here don't eat meat. Didn't you see that the snacks on the table are all vegetarian?" There is no dog meat hot pot and braised chicken, so stop talking. The little golden dragon groaned aggrievedly, "If it's not lunch, then what are they doing here?" It's impossible that the Taoists will have to rush to the market and sell these to the farmers' market to generate income? Is the efficiency of the Taoist temple so bad now? They have to rely on growing vegetables and raising chickens to survive. Luo Xi didn't know what these animals were for, and said casually: "Maybe they are pets." Luo Xi came to modern society not long ago, and has deeply realized how much humans like to keep pets. From tigers, snakes, lions, and bears to cats, dogs, hamsters, turtles, ants, and more, common and uncommon, there are so many varieties that the mermaids were amazed. Most people probably wouldn't keep those animals as pets, but maybe Taoists are different from ordinary people. Nowadays, some even keep pigs as pets. Luo Xi looked at them again and suddenly paused. She poked the little golden dragon and whispered, "What animal is that yellow-brown thing over there?" She recognized roosters, black dogs, hedgehogs, and snakes, but she couldn't recognize the other long and thin one. The little golden dragon tried to identify it for a long time and said uncertainly, "...skunk?" Luo Xi was confused. Skunk? Is the skunk this color? "Why do I feel like something is wrong..." Little Golden Dragon: "I think they look similar, they must be the kind of creature that farts and stinks to death." Luo Xi was convinced. Little Golden Dragon was always more reliable than her in understanding this world. She exclaimed in praise and made eye contact with the slender yellow-brown animal: "It turns out that skunks are pretty cute."
The little yellow-brown guy half stood up on his hind legs, shaking his two front paws in the air, looking silly and cute.
But his eyes seemed a little fierce?
The little guy stared at Luo Xi's sleeves, and suddenly made a sharp and tiny voice: "You are the skunk, your whole family is skunks!"
Luo Xi and the little golden dragon were shocked and found that they were not hallucinating. The words just now... seemed to be said by the little yellow-brown guy?
Just as they were stunned, the little yellow-brown guy came over at an extremely fast speed, squatted at Luo Xi's feet, and seemed to be very smart and stared at her... sleeves.
Obviously, it heard their conversation just now, and also recognized the guy who said he was a "skunk".
The little golden dragon stole a glimpse of the animal under Luo Xi's feet. Seeing that guy staring at him fiercely, he suddenly screamed: "Speak, speak... a monster!"
Luo Xi pinched the little golden dragon speechlessly. Look at yourself first. How dare you call others monsters?
The yellow-brown little animal raised its tiny eyes and said, "You are the monster. I am Huang Daxian, one of the five great immortals. I am a god respected and worshipped by people! I am not a low-end product like a skunk. I am different from a skunk in color. Are you blind?"
The little golden dragon was stunned by the scolding. When it reacted, the Huang Daxian in front of it...wasn't it a weasel? It sounds nice to call it one of the five great immortals, but in essence it is still a wise and spiritual weasel.
Being a proud dragon, it was scolded by a weasel, and it immediately became a bad dragon.
The little golden dragon was angry, hiding in Luo Xi's sleeves, and quarreled with the weasel through the clothes: "What's the difference, don't they all rely on farting to fight the enemy! It's equally stinky! Stinky!"
Huang Daxian was unhappy, thinking that the little golden dragon had touched his sore spot.
When encountering a natural enemy, they will fart to smoke the natural enemy away, or make the enemy afraid to approach, and then wait for an opportunity to escape. This is the instinctive self-protection ability of animals. Even if it has intelligence and can speak human language, it cannot restrain this instinct.
Huang Daxian feels that this point is a bit undermining his status and class, but it is very useful, and the instinct engraved in his bones cannot be changed.
When it really encounters a difficult enemy, it will still fart!
Huang Daxian was exposed and bared his teeth at the position of the little golden dragon, "If you have the guts, come out. What's the use of hiding behind the master?"
The little golden dragon relied on Luo Xi's support and bared his teeth: "I won't come out. If you have the guts, come up and catch me."
The two little animals quarreled in a mess, but Luo Xi squinted at the weasel and didn't miss what it just said.
