soul collector

Tang Xiu woke up very early the next day. The sky outside had just been brightened. He sat up and looked at his phone. It was two minutes to six.

He had a dream last night. He dreamed that Jiang Qiao was eating soy sauce beef stuck in his throat. Go up and force him to spit out the stuck meat.

... This dream was so absurd that even Tang Xiu in the dream guessed that it was a dream.

He sat up and glanced back at the soul-collecting banner through the polished sky—it was as calm as every day and night in the past thousands of years, without any sign of fluctuation.

Tang Xiu sighed.It's almost autumn, and the house is a bit gloomy and cold. The old man pulled a blanket to wrap his feet in a very healthy way, and began to stare at his soul-collecting flag in a daze every day.

This old guy sometimes hinted at Song Mian, then Lu Kangjing, and Jiang Qiao, but when he deciphered everyone's secrets one by one, this guy started pretending to be dead again.

No, actually he didn't crack Jiang Qiao's secret.But Jiang Qiao doesn't have any secrets. His biggest secret is that he dares to fall in love with an eternal practitioner with a mortal body of flesh and blood.

Thinking of the director opposite, the ancestor couldn't help but sighed, unable to tell what he was worried about.

On today's schedule is the only one-scene scene between Tang Xiu and Wang Yu, and the second scene will be in the morning.After Tang Xiu took the first scene, he kept looking at the other side of the building. Wang Yu didn't show up all morning, probably because he was still detained in the police station and didn't come back.Jiang Qiao wasn't there either, and the assistant director watched the shot just now, so he had to go back and review whether he could pass Jiang Qiao's checkpoint.

Zhang Kaixing stood where he was and asked his assistant to touch up his makeup, and said in a low voice with a stiff face, "Don't look, Director Jiang may not be able to come today."

Tang Xiu hummed.Yesterday he asked Ye Zhiheng to use his contacts to make connections. The so-called temporary inspection "just happened" to find Wang Yu. Now the media must be blocked near the police station. It is difficult for Jiang Qiao to meet him. It may take a day. "

The entire crew knew that Jiang Qiao left the crew early in the morning to deal with Wang Yu's affairs.It is said that someone heard Jiang Qiao receive a call from Wang Yu's manager in the early hours of this morning. His face was livid the whole time, and he said a total of four sentences, most of which were "No, there is no such precedent".A major scandal broke out during the filming, and the role of Wang Yu could not be kept no matter what.

Zhang Kaixing pulled Tang Xiu over and sighed in a low voice, "You said that Wang Yu is unlucky enough. Although he has his own faults, if it wasn't for Director Jiang's hand that just broke, and he just happened to be courting Director Jiang right now, I guess it would be too late. There is no such thing as a stall."

Tang Xiu glanced at him, but shook his head, "Sooner or later, there will be calamity for doing evil. Mortals only live one life, so it's better not to be lucky."

Zhang Kaixing was taken aback when he heard the words, and he was actually told a wave of life principles by a young man who was ten years younger than himself, but he couldn't say anything.

Tang Xiu was young, but he had an aura around him, and he didn't feel disobedient at all when teaching others.

Zhang Kaixing suddenly remembered that a while ago, when his wife went out alone at night but was threatened not to develop in the mainland, if she hadn't been clever and ran out for help, she would have been almost...

He had been looking for the person behind the scenes, and was so worried that he couldn't sleep for several nights, but suddenly one day he received an anonymous letter, which helped him state that the person behind it was Yu Yin.He followed the instructions and checked, and it really was that kid.

He had encountered a lot of strange things recently, and logically speaking, he had nothing to do with Tang Xiu, but he somehow felt that Tang Xiu also gave him a similar strange feeling.

Zhang Kaixing was thinking about it when Tang Xiu suddenly asked him in a chatty tone, "Senior, have you read the news from last week?"

Zhang Kaixing was stunned, "What news?"

"Yu Yin was beaten by black fans in the alley, broke two ribs and was sent to the hospital. Did the murderer catch him?"

Tang Xiu's eyes were black and bright, Zhang Kaixing's heart trembled again, he stabilized his expression and said: "No, there are too many such fights in the circle, Yu Yin is not a big name, the police may not be willing to waste too much police force in his body."

"Oh?" Tang Xiu smiled, and his voice was light and calm, "I heard that he didn't dare to call the police at all. He was injured for a hundred days, and once he entered the hospital, the two or three variety shows on hand were directly replaced. Man, one of the scripts I was fighting for was also directly taken down. The loss is so heavy but the matter is calmed down, I guess I did something bad."

Zhang Kaixing looked at Tang Xiu and didn't speak for a long time.

He had seen Tang Xiu write, and Tang Xiu's manager Li Ziping had also seen him write.If it wasn't for the completely different handwriting on the paper, he almost suspected that Tang Xiu was secretly helping him.

This young man's eyes are as bright as a mirror. When he looks at you, no matter how calm he speaks, it seems that he has seen through the secrets of your whole person and let them hang out in the sun.

……

Zhang Kaixing guessed right, Jiang Qiao didn't come back all day today.The assistant director's fault-finding skill was more than a million miles worse than that of Yan Luo, and the production team was progressing very smoothly today, and all filming was finished after five o'clock in the afternoon.

The assistants happily bought a bunch of fruits, milk tea and melon seeds, and everyone sat in front of the building eating melon seeds and chatting.

No one wants to go back. It's not that they are not tired, but that the people have a gossip and want to see how the director will react when he comes back.

Hu Guangran vomited grape skins while eating grapes, shook his head and said: "Our drama is also a fortune teller, I think the director should find someone to look at Feng Shui."

Tang Xiu looked at him a little strangely, "How to say?"

"You think, before you, Director Jiang's Xiaobai was originally Song Mian and Lu Kangjing, but they both had accidents before the machine was turned on. Wang Yu is also an important supporting role newly promoted by the director, and he also went in the next day. "Hu Guangran didn't take hold of the grape, and the grape pulp was squeezed out, leaving only a wrinkled grape skin in his hand.He froze for a moment, then casually threw the grape skins into the trash can, and continued, "Director Jiang himself led the vote for this film, hey..."

Tang Xiu listened for a long time, then said in a low voice, "A major scandal was exposed during filming, even if Wang Yu violated the rules personally, the production team won't suffer any losses."

Zhang Kaixing on the side waved his hand, "That's not the reason. Since "Zhanhutai" was launched, it has been on the hot search several times because of the casting and changing of roles. If this is posted again, the people will definitely think that this drama has too many things. Depreciating the value of movies is a metaphysics. After all, audiences are more hypocritical these days, and no one can say whether they have any ideas. Hey, Director Jiang takes good care of his feathers, and he values ​​these things the most."

Tang Xiu was stunned for a while upon hearing this.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, after the melon-eating crowd had dispersed, Jiang Qiao finally returned.

A certain director went back to the set in a low-key manner, stood at the door of his room, pretended to take out the keys, looked around the corridor, and slipped directly to the opposite door.

Tang Xiu sat on the bed in a vest in a daze, and Jiang Qiao slipped in without knocking on the door, which startled him.He frowned and said, "Director, it's becoming more and more casual for you to enter the actor's room."

Jiang Qiao hummed, rolled his eyes to see his good figure wrapped in a small vest, and said in a low voice, "You are becoming more and more casual in the crew. You used to wear pajamas, but now you wear a vest every day. You don't have the bones of a thousand-year-old god, so you just want to seduce the director every day?"

Tang Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "It's getting cold, the material of my pajamas is chilly, it seems like I'm hiding a lot of thoughts when you say it."

Jiang Qiao curled his lips and sat down on the end of the bed unceremoniously, "I'm here to tell you about Wang Yu."

The old ancestor just nodded, "Yeah."

"Wang Yu's situation is much more serious than Lu Kangjing's. Although Lu Kangjing's news broke, he has only had a few ecstasy pills in total. This thing is not uncommon in the circle. But Wang Yupeng has a wide variety of drugs Yes, today in the police station I heard the police give me a list, and it opened my eyes."

However, Tang Xiu said, "There is no difference, they are both taking drugs."

Jiang Qiao paused, "That's the truth, but I thought it would make you feel better."

Tang Xiu, who had been reading Weibo while listening to Jiang Qiao with his eyes half-downcast, raised his eyelids with astonishment, "Me? What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Qiao looked at him suspiciously, "You...do you really have no sympathy for Lu Kangjing?"

Tang Xiu sighed when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "The ancestors have been walking for thousands of years. Punishing evil and promoting good is the meaning of existence. I quit the two emotions of sympathy and anger early in the morning."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiao asked curiously, "Can you still quit your emotions?"

Tang Xiu nodded, "Yes." He glanced at Jiang Qiao and added, "If you can live for such a long time, you can gradually figure it out. This is the Tao."

In Jiang Qiao's life, he has never experienced listening to an all-knowing person explaining science to him from the perspective of a zero-knowledgeable person.The feeling was fresh and surprisingly not annoying to him.He suddenly thought of something, "Hey, by the way, do you practitioners have to give up all emotions and desires? What else is there besides sympathy and anger?"

Tang Xiu looked at him amused, "What do you want to ask? Lust | desire, love, lust?"

Jiang Qiao choked.The old ancestor spoke too directly, and his thick skin couldn't stand it.

However, Tang Xiu didn't feel that he had opened up such a shy topic. He said sternly: "Actually, it is not. Thousands of years ago, the way of heaven was very important to people's hearts, and we practitioners would deliberately suppress some instinctive emotions. But in recent thousands of years The Dao of Heaven puts more emphasis on human conduct, practitioners only need to do what they should do, as for what they think in their hearts, the Dao of Heaven is too lazy to entangle.”

He glanced at Jiang Qiao, who didn't know what he thought of, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't sympathize with misery, and I don't get angry with sin. Turn everything into your own emotions and put it in your heart, and the ancestors will really live as ancestors."

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Jiang Qiao nodded hastily, "This is great wisdom, and it can lighten the burden on oneself."

Fart lighten the burden, in fact, he was relieved in his heart, a certain old man didn't quit love directly from his life, it's a blessing in misfortune.

Seeing that he didn't know what he was planning, Tang Xiu suddenly asked, "By the way, Wang Yu is going to be fired from the crew?"

Jiang Qiao nodded, "Of course. This is my crew, and it is absolutely impossible for unclean people to stay."

Tang Xiu leaned on his head and looked at him, "So, do you hate me to death?"

"Huh?" Jiang Qiao was taken aback, "How do you say that?"

"Zhang Kaixing said that director Jiang hates disgraceful things in the crew. The first male lead in your play is Lu Kangjing, but an accident happened and he was replaced. Not long after the start of the show, an important supporting role also had an accident. Think carefully about these two things Everything has a lot to do with me, so you don't hate it?" The old ancestor's tone was slightly playful, but his eyes were very serious.

Jiang Qiao laughed and watched him for a few seconds, "I don't hate it. I just think this year's show is amazing."

"wonderful?"

"Yeah." Jiang Qiao resisted the urge to reach out and touch his ancestor's head, and said flatly, "Since I met a strange person in the elevator, it has always been very strange."

The corner of Tang Xiu's mouth curled downward.He probably understood that Jiang Qiao wanted to say something seductive, but this guy's natural romantic cells have grown crooked, and every time he forced romance, the results were miserable.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Qiao felt his heart pounding, and wanted to add, "The wonder I'm talking about is not the kind of self-deprecating wonder, but the feeling of life..."

Tang Xiu covered his mouth with his hand, and looked at him helplessly, "The old ancestor understands what you want to express, don't draw more and more black."

"Hmm." Jiang Qiao stopped talking, his heart suddenly moved, and he pouted his lips in Tang Xiu's palm.

Gently kissing the palm, it was very itchy and soft, Tang Xiu felt an electric current spread from his fingertips to his heart, he subconsciously withdrew his hand, and stared blankly at Jiang Qiao for several seconds.

Then he suddenly remembered something and turned his head abruptly.

Jihun Banner is quiet and quiet, I don't know whether it is dead or alive.

"How could this be..." Tang Xiu murmured in a low voice, extremely disappointed.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows and leaned forward, turning his head to look at the soul-collecting banner.Although Tang Xiu assured him again and again that he was not a demon, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing this thing.

In fact, not only was he frightened last time, but since the first time he saw this thing at Tang Xiu's house, he felt a little weird in his heart.The pattern on this thing is ugly and very old, as picky as he should be, he should not want to take a second look.But when I looked up from a distance in the living room of Tang Xiu's house, those strange patterns on this thing seemed to be imprinted in my heart.

But through a dust cover, this thing looks a lot more comfortable.It's not that weird anymore, it seems like a filter has been added, and the texture looks much better.

Tang Xiu suddenly looked at Jiang Qiao, seemingly a little confused, "You said, there is heaven and earth in the world, and there is good and evil in the world. If black is evil and white is good, then what is red?"

Jiang Qiao was taken aback for a moment, not thinking at all, "Blood?"

Tang Xiu, "..."

"The black one killed the white one, and the white one went to seek revenge on the black one. Both sides shed a lot of blood." Jiang Qiao stood up, pointed to the soul-collecting banner and said, "Look, you little gege have a lot of blood." There is black and white, and red is the spreading background color, isn’t it that both sides are bleeding wildly? Black and white fighting, an eternal war.”

Tang Xiu, "..."

I really want to find a bundle of duct tape to seal this guy's bloody brain.

Tang Xiu glared at Jiang Qiao, then looked at the soul-collecting banner, and sighed heavily.

There is one thing he doesn't know. Before the soul-collecting banner started to change in this life, the fan of No.80's uncollected soul was white, so all soul collectors know that No.80 is a good soul, and the soul-collecting banner Forty evil 41 good, good is one more than evil, this is commonly recognized by practitioners for thousands of years.

But probably no one would have thought that this episode of Hun Banner No.80 Yihun suddenly turned red.

It was after that fading that the white No.80 A Wisp of Uncollected Soul suddenly became red gradually.Although the soul-collecting banner no longer moves, the red color is spreading day by day, and it has already fainted three or four times in the fan.

There is one more thing he doesn't know.Now that the relationship between Lu Kangjing's case and Jihunban was ruled out, Jiang Qiao was the only suspect left.But...Jiang Qiao kissed his palm just now, even he felt it in his heart, why did the Jihun Banner not move?

It seems that since the last time it made rapid progress, this old thing has fallen into a new round of deep sleep except for silently changing color.

But last time... obviously nothing happened.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Jiang Qiao waved his hand in front of Tang Xiu, "Sleepy?"

Tang Xiu regained his senses and shook his head.His eyes fell on Jiang Qiao's lips. A certain director took care of himself very well. His lips were rosy and moist. Even without the kiss just now, they were as soft as one could imagine.

Tang Xiu suddenly had a thought in his heart.

He looked up at Jiang Qiao, "Director, please do me a favor."

Jiang Qiao, "Huh? Tell me."

Tang Xiu looked at him with very pure black eyes, and lowered his voice, "Let's kiss, just one."

Jiang Qiao was stunned.The old ancestor was very good, and a single word made him, a director who was used to seeing big scenes, numb from the heart to the scalp, instantly parched and his chest pounded wildly.

"what?"

One of them was standing by the bed and the other was sitting on the bed.Tang Xiu was a man of action, seeing that he didn't refuse, he knelt up from the bed.The crew's bed was low, and Jiang Qiao was still taller than him, so the ancestor naturally grabbed Jiang Qiao's shirt chest with both hands, forcing him to lower down.

Jiang Qiao's world suddenly became very quiet.

Very quiet, very quiet, as if returning to chaos and white.There seemed to be tinnitus in his mind, his whole body seemed to be stunned, and his brain was completely empty.

In sight, only Tang Xiu knelt on the bed with his back straight, raised his head and pressed his lips together.The man's pupils were black and clear, his tight neck was graceful and slender, and his Adam's apple was moving slightly.

Irresistible, no one can resist.

Jiang Qiao watched the two pink lips approach until the warm feeling touched his lips.The bridge of his nose was touched, and the person who kissed him tilted his head at an angle.

Tang Xiu's breath was all in his nostrils, and the young man's soft breathing was the only sound in this world.

...as if I could feel the nerves breaking down one by one in my mind, my sanity collapsed, and I lost all my ability to think.

Jiang Qiao knew that he was finished.
