Chapter 94 The Ninety-Fourth Star



After the meeting, Lin left surrounded by many staff and bodyguards without staying for too long, while Shi Zhuoqu stayed to handle the follow-up work.

The fortune tellers in the venue did not leave. Mei Ru Z looked around and stood up first: "Since there are still screenings in G City and H Country, then we..."

"Isn't this Master Mei?" A surprised voice came from the side.

When Mei Ru Z saw who was coming, her face immediately turned cold and she subconsciously clicked her tongue, revealing a hint of impatience.

Tan Muxing recognized Huang Jue, who had appeared in the initial audition. He looked hesitant and asked, "Does Sister Ru Z know him?"

Huang Jue looked extremely gangster-like and had frequently picked quarrels in the examination room, but now he greeted people enthusiastically, which naturally made others feel strange.

Meiru Z frowned: "I don't know him."

Chu Qianli watched the show with great interest. She quickly understood the relationship between the two parties and teased, "How could a beautiful woman know someone who came so close to her?"

Huang Jue said warmly: "Meimei, I didn't expect you to be here too. Which examination room did you take the first test in? I didn't see you!"

"Please don't call me that." Meiru Z was quite distant. "It feels awkward."

Mei Ru Z once went to the Northeast region to take on a job, and by chance she met Huang Jue. As their circles were not very similar, they gradually became familiar with each other.

"Since you are here too, let's all act together when we get to City G!" Huang Jue said, "You are not always lazy about dealing with people, but after listening to what I just said, you should understand that this matter cannot be resolved by one person alone."

Huang Jue had just finished listening to the New Era Plan, and he had a hunch that they would face a foreign team. Going it alone might not work, and they had to first gather their strength.

Meiru Z declined: "I already have a team."

Huang Jue was stunned when he heard this. He had just been chatting with Mei Ru Z, and then he noticed the two people beside her and recognized Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing.

Meiru Z took the initiative to introduce: "This is my teammate."

Huang Jue looked surprised and questioned: "...Aren't they examiners?"

Huang Jue clearly remembered that Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were the examiners of Examination Room No. 3, so how come they suddenly became Mei Ru Z's teammates! ?

Meiru Z: “?”

Chu Qianli is indeed a master of acting. Her words come out fluently and calmly, "We are here to help monitor the preliminary audition. After that, our status will be the same as yours. Didn't the person on the stage just now also say that?"

Tan Muxing lowered his head silently, admiring the little liar's acting skills.

"So that's how it is." Huang Jue suddenly realized, "Then there aren't many of you, you can all join us!"

Huang Jue seemed to have a good reputation in the circle, and he had already formed a team to pull the three people over. Mei Ru Z was already somewhat famous, and Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing had been examiners, so it was clear that their level was not bad either. These were three great generals.

Meiru Z frowned: "...No need."

Huang Jue: "Hey, Meimei, don't be so polite..."

"It only takes a moment for them to be possessed. It was a wise move for them to refuse your invitation."

A group of Taoist priests came together. Xu Zaiyuan, carrying a sword on his back, stood at the back, and the young Taoist priest who was speaking was in front: "My name is Liu Jun. If the three of you are willing, you can go with Qianmen."

Meiru Z: "I'm sorry, but I don't really want to deal with Taoist priests."

Huang Jue said angrily: "Watch your mouth a little, who are you saying is possessed by a demon?"

Liu Jun said calmly: "Mr. Huang, in this Dharma Ending Age, if you mistake evil for immortals, you will probably end up with bad consequences."

It turned out that the shamans and the Taoists could not reconcile with each other and started quarreling after just a few words.

Chu Qianli saw the atmosphere at the scene. She held Tan Muxing with one hand and Mei Ru Z with the other, and decisively chose to retreat: "Let them quarrel, we'll just run away!"

The three of them took advantage of the confrontation between Huang Jue, Liu Jun and others and rushed out of the venue in a flash, finally regaining some peace and quiet.

Mei Ru Z said in annoyance: "That's why I don't like to chat with people in the circle. These people form groups everywhere. If you ignore them, they will pester you and force you to stand in line."

Chu Qianli comforted him: "It's like this, isn't this what they call the Dharma Ending Age?"

Tan Muxing heard a familiar name and asked curiously, "What exactly is the Dharma Ending Age? I think I heard Brother Yu mention it as well."

Yu Ge had mentioned this before in casual conversation, and the Taoist from Qianmen just mentioned the same thing, which naturally made him confused.

"To put it simply, our current living environment is different from the past. Most people have shallow blessings but extremely deep karma. They seem to have more abundant resources, but they are lost in the materialistic world and caught in endless disputes." Chu Qianli tilted his head. "In the past, we might be satisfied if we had enough to eat, but now we are never satisfied. If we don't have money, we want to have more money. If we have money, we want more money. We are always selfish and plunder everywhere, even at the cost of hurting others."

"This situation will also radiate to the metaphysical circle. For example, people choose Buddhism or Taoism for their own benefit, various temples and Taoist temples are commercialized, or they use the banner of immortals to deceive people and obtain supernatural powers through irregular channels. It looks like the right way, but it is actually wrong and harmful to people. They have embarked on a road of no return, but mistakenly think they are right." Chu Qianli spread his hands, "Even practitioners attack each other and even become more evil. That's why some people say that in the Dharma Ending Age, all living beings are demons."

Tan Muxing was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what is correct?"

Chu Qianli shook his head: "I'm not sure either. According to what they said, it's very difficult to not go along with the crowd in the Dharma Ending Age. What's more, it's difficult to save others, but how can you save yourself and realize it?"

"Do what you should do, pay less attention to those boring people, don't let them lead you by the nose, and you will be able to stay away from misfortune." Meiru Z concluded, "It's good to take care of yourself, as for whether to save others or not, it's up to fate!"

Chu Qianli and Mei Ru Z happily high-fived: "You're right!"

Tan Muxing saw that they hit it off immediately and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The three discussed the trip to City G. They did not plan to follow Shi Zhuoqu and the others, and finally chose Tan's private plane, at least there would be no more twists and turns during the journey.

Chu Qianli said goodbye to Mei Ru Z and watched her drive away in her sports car before following Tan Muxing back home. She noticed that the people around her were a little distracted and asked in confusion, "Xingxing, what's wrong?"

"No..." Tan Muxing quickly came back to his senses. He hesitated and lowered his eyes and said, "I was just thinking about what you just said."

"The Dharma Ending Age?"

"Well, I'm thinking about some way to save people." Tan Muxing felt that the world was so bad that it seemed that something had to be done.

Chu Qianli blinked and asked in surprise, "Why do you want to find a way to save someone? You've already saved someone."

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Who did I save?"

Chu Qianli said happily: "Save me."

Tan Muxing was so shocked by her words that he turned around and stammered, blushing, "No, no, I don't even understand metaphysics, how can I save you..."

He now really couldn't understand what the Taoists were saying. First, the Taoists talked about the Dharma Ending Age, and then they suddenly said "save her"?

Chu Qianli said sincerely, "Yes, although Xingxing doesn't understand metaphysics at all, sometimes laymen can accidentally touch upon something more fundamental."

"Ah, how can I describe it? It's like beating the old master to death with random punches. We are still calculating the consequences of our karma, but you may have already reached the end in a daze." Chu Qianli smiled, "Because you don't think it's good to do this, you think it's natural. This kind of unconsciousness can be called saving people."

Chu Qianli said softly, "Once you calculate the reward, it is not good, but in this era, no one can be ungrateful, not even me. Xingxing thinks our abilities are very powerful, but in many religions, numerology or spiritualism is the devil that confuses people's hearts. It makes people mistakenly think that they are on the right path, but in fact it is just the beginning of degeneration."

Therefore, she was right to think that she had no future.

"So whether it's me, that shaman, or the Qianmen Taoist priest, we may not be able to get as far as you, even though you claim you don't understand metaphysics."

Tan Muxing lowered his head nervously: "...I would be embarrassed if you flatter me like this."

"I'm telling the truth!" Chu Qianli said happily, "But I'm not that easy to cross. You've only crossed half of it."

Tan Muxing was infected by her overflowing joy, and he couldn't help but smile. He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then I will continue to work hard."

He didn't know whether she was serious or just kidding him. Maybe he didn't have the ability to save people, but as long as she said it, he would choose to believe it.

Chu Qianli bowed in return and said obediently, "Then please talk to me, Master."

They smiled at each other.

Not long after, Mondsen held a second round of screening in City G.

At the airport, Chu Qianli and others received a call from Jin Xiaoyuan as soon as they got off the plane.

Mei Ru Z was yawning sleepily in the back. Chu Qianli heard a familiar voice and asked, "Uncle Jin?"

"Yes." Tan Muxing nodded helplessly, and then advised, "Uncle Jin, we have something to do this time, so we may not be able to meet you. We have to go directly to your residence..."

The Mondsen Group arranges accommodation for domestic and foreign fortune tellers, who will be concentrated in a villa area to complete the second round of screening.

Jin Xiaoyuan said anxiously: "Muxing, I've seen the place you are going to. That villa area is unlucky and you can't live there. You kids should stop getting mad. You should just stay at the hotel you stayed at last time!"

Chu Qianli: "Bad luck?"

"That's a famous haunted house in the local area. Why are you going there?!" Jin Xiaoyuan spoke in a very loud voice, and even though he didn't speak loudly to the public, everyone else could hear him.

Meiru Z took out her phone and searched for the address. She looked up the webpage and said calmly, "Someone on the Internet said that someone died in the villa elevator."

Jin Xiaoyuan: "I heard from my friends before that the house has been haunted. I don't know who sold it to. What are you doing there?"

"There is indeed something..." Tan Muxing was at a loss for words, so he soothed him, "Uncle Jin, maybe it's just an outsider who is frightened out of nothing. There shouldn't be any ghosts in the world."

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Anyway, don't live in such a place. No matter whether there are ghosts or not, I will feel uncomfortable."

Chu Qianli said angrily: "If there is a ghost, smash its head. I, a Marxist believer, cannot bear to hear this!"

Tan Muxing: “?” My good man, are you more vicious than a ghost?

Meiru Z: "But this does meet the requirements of the second round of screening. Just drive the Taoist priests in. If anyone dares not to stay there, they will be automatically screened."

Jin Xiaoyuan found that he could not dissuade Mu Xing and others from talking, so he had to compromise helplessly and repeatedly told them to call him if they changed their minds and he would immediately arrange accommodation for them.

Tan Muxing quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Jin, for your trouble."

Chu Qianli joked jokingly: "If you don't work hard in the second round of screening, you can only go home and live in a five-star hotel!"

Meiru Z: "To be honest, after searching online, I wanted to choose a five-star hotel. It seems that due to the haunted house incident, the occupancy rate is extremely low, and perhaps the facilities inside are in disrepair."

Although the three of them had some opinions about the murder house villa area, they still took a car to the designated residence considering the baby stone and the H country ruins.

Only candidates can live in the villa area. It is difficult for Uncle Qi and others to enter. Even the staff of the Mondsen Group are very few.

There was only a listless and skinny old man in the lobby. He slowly checked the identities of the three people and turned away Uncle Qi and others who were not on the registration form.

Uncle Qi was dissatisfied and asked, "Why can't we go in?"

"What can they do if they get in? What can you do if you get in?" The old man looked at Uncle Qi slowly and advised, "Young man, it's better for you not to go in. Look at the people from the organization, didn't they get in either?"

Chu Qianli and the others looked around, and indeed they saw Mondsen's staff, but most of them stopped at the door of the lobby. Only the fortune teller walked in with his luggage.

"Grandpa, how long have you been here? Is there really a ghost here?" Chu Qianli asked.

"It's been many years. I can't answer your question. To be honest, I don't go in often. I just arranged to clean it not long ago..." The old man rolled up his trouser legs and showed them the blood scar. "It was cut for no apparent reason. It's really evil!"

"But someone moved in before and ran out in the middle of the night shouting for help, and no one knew what they saw. You should be fine if you stay here quietly. I've worked the night shift for many years and I've had no problems so far."

Meiru Z: "But it's just the night shift at the gate."

The old man never actually lived in the villa. After all, it was on the edge of the villa area.

"Yes, if you have anything to do at night, call me and I will stay here. Someone is in charge of food and drinks during the day, but they leave at night."

Chu Qianli and the others said goodbye to Uncle Qi and took their luggage into the villa area, where they found many small hills. There was a villa on each hill, and there were paths connecting the villas, which was similar to some hotel villas.

The lobby where people go through the formalities usually has a buffet and various entertainment areas. If you want to eat, you have to walk from the hill villa. There will be a car to pick you up during the day, but no one will drive at night.

"Where is that elevator?" Chu Qianli followed Mei Ru Z out, looking around curiously, searching for any traces of the ominous elevator.

"It doesn't seem to be here. I just looked it up on the Internet. The news didn't even have an internal topographical map. I don't know if it's true or not."

There were countless heavy cardboard boxes piled up at the entrance of the lobby, containing all kinds of common supplies, piled high. It was obvious that this place did not normally receive guests, and everything had been prepared recently.

The three of them stood at the gate waiting to take the bus up the mountain. They worked together to handle the formalities and were arranged to stay in a villa. The villa on the hill had two floors. Chu Qianli and Mei Ru Z lived on the second floor, and Tan Muxing lived on the first floor.

Chu Qianli looked at the rolling hills while waiting for the bus. Her occupational disease started to flare up and she began to ponder, saying thoughtfully, "I always feel like there's something wrong with the Feng Shui..."

At this moment, another group of people came out of the lobby to wait for the bus. They were foreign sorcerers with dark hair and blue eyes.

Both parties were slightly startled by the scene, and then they calmed down at the same time.

Although the Mondsen Group had long said that this trip was a global selection, Chu Qianli and others did encounter overseas opponents for the first time.

Meiru Z didn't know much about Western mysticism. She glanced at the other party's fancy clothes and the golden eagle necklaces they wore, and asked hesitantly, "What are they studying?"

Chu Qianli shook her head: "I only know Western astrology, but they seem to be wizards."

Western mysticism also has many branches. Just like China has orthodox Taoist priests and shamans, the methods studied by foreigners are also different, and it is impossible to immediately identify the way.

Mei Ru Z's appearance and temperament were eye-catching, and Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing looked harmless, so this group of foreign sorcerers frequently looked at her with ill intent, and even whispered to her.

Meiru Z always had amazing intuition. She didn't understand what the sorcerers said and said unhappily, "I felt that they didn't say anything nice."

Chu Qianli overheard this and complained in dissatisfaction: "These stinky foreigners actually thought that we would be scared to death and run away after staying here for one night!"

It was the first time she met such an impolite guy.

These foreign sorcerers secretly mocked the three for being incapable of fighting, and believed that Chu Qianli and the others were made of paper.

Tan Muxing sternly corrected him: "No, no, no, they only said that we would be scared away, there was no such adjective as pissing our ass off..."

"Why can you all understand it?" Mei Ru Z was surprised, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, right, you just finished the college entrance examination, and I am the one with the lowest IQ!"

The foreign sorcerer noticed the strange behavior of the three people. They didn't expect that they could be understood, so they slowly shut up.

However, Chu Qianli was vindictive. She switched languages ​​with one click and mocked them directly, "You didn't even stay for one night. You only stayed for half a night and you ran away in a hurry!"

Mei Ru Z was confused and asked for advice: "Wait, what did you say again? I saw their faces turned blue..."

Tan Muxing was helpless, and he murmured: "...Every time it comes to this, I think she is still good at studying, and can even translate foreign languages ​​vividly."

Chu Qianli has a good talent for languages. Her English was good when she was in school. The school has elective courses, and she has also attended several Spanish classes. She did not stop because of the language barrier. Don't look at her poor grades, her practice is first-class.

The foreign wizard did not expect her to be so sharp-tongued. He immediately went forward angrily, but was stopped by his companions.

"Joe, all right..."

Joe, with dark hair and blue eyes, angrily retorted: "As mages taking the exam, how can you stay here overnight without even a guardian angel?!"

Foreign sorcerers made such comments because they saw nothing. In their sects, everyone should have a guardian angel and be able to see some strange energy.

Tan Muxing translated this to Meiru Z who didn't understand.

Meiru Z looked strange: "What guardian angel? Can someone explain what this group of people are learning? Or explain it in oriental terms?"

Tan Muxing asked tentatively: "Should it be that we have no religious beliefs? And then we can't see the energy around us?"

Meiru Z: "...What kind of messed up energy is this? Are you sure there's something wrong with their eyes?"

Chu Qianli and Mei Ru Z are both fortune tellers. They do not study supernatural magic and do not have any religious beliefs.

Chu Qianli had met colleagues with faith before, but true masters never tell others what to do. They understand that belief or not is determined by fate, and meddling in other people's affairs is the most uncomfortable thing.

Chu Qianli pulled Tan Muxing over. She was not willing to be outdone and fought back in a foreign language: "How could you, as illiterate people who don't understand religious freedom and don't even have a guardian by your side, spend the night here!?"

The guardian who was suddenly pulled out: "?"

Qiao was annoyed and asked, "Who are you calling illiterate?!"

Chu Qianli put her hands on her hips righteously, and switched back to Chinese. She said loudly, "You can't even understand the Chinese word 'Chainis' and you say you are not illiterate!"

As expected, Qiao looked confused and puzzled when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what this sentence said.

Mei Ru Z said frankly: "I understand this sentence. I am not illiterate."

Tan Muxing: "..."
