Chapter 70 The Practitioner's Self-Exploration

The bed was too low, and Jiang Qiao had to move out from underneath.A certain director has disheveled hair, and his face is so blue that people can't bear to look directly at him.

He was sleeping soundly, but when he was half awake, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching, unlike Li Ziping.I don't know if it was luck or intuition, he immediately jumped up and hid under the bed.

When I got in, I used too much force, and even rubbed my left shoulder, which was burning and painful.

Tang Xiu sighed and looked for medicine for Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao said, "Don't stop me, I will definitely fire Li Ziping today."

The old ancestor didn't speak, and there was anger between his brows. He was angry that Li Ziping was outrageous, and he was also angry at his recent abnormality-he had never slept so deadly in thousands of years, and what happened around him had nothing to do with it. perception.

When Tang Xiu sat in the dressing room and finished his makeup, Li Ziping arrived belatedly.He trotted in with a pair of trousers in his hands, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Xiu, "Lu Xinrong told you to get up, that's good, there's something wrong with your trousers, which almost delayed the shooting, I just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Xiu glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes, and Li Ziping subconsciously closed his mouth.

He looked around, the makeup artist ran out to find something, but there was no one in the room.Li Ziping asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you let someone else into my room?" Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows without being angry.

Li Ziping actually felt that he was sweating because of this young man who was several years younger than him. He subconsciously took a step back, his mind went blank, and it took him a while to react.

"You don't like being woken up by others? I didn't know you had this habit." He touched his nose, a little aggrieved, "I couldn't get out of the crew before, didn't I always let a random assistant knock on your door ?"

Tang Xiu looked at him fixedly, "Jiang Qiao is in my room."

"What?" Li Ziping opened his eyes wide, "Impossible."

"How do you know it's impossible? As an agent, you..."

Li Ziping waved his hands repeatedly to interrupt Tang Xiu, "No, no, you didn't understand what I meant. I know Director Jiang might not keep his promise, so you didn't show up in time this morning. I was going to call you by myself. But I I met Lu Xinrong outside your tent, he came back from morning exercise, and said he saw Director Jiang also doing morning exercise, so I was relieved to let him call you. Isn't Director Jiang doing morning exercise?"

Tang Xiu was stunned for a full two seconds.

Li Ziping came to his senses all of a sudden, his face became ugly, "Isn't it? Lu Xinrong lied and set up a trap?!"

Tang Xiu frowned.Originally, he thought it was just the agent's negligence, and it would be fine to beat it, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

The scene of this morning suddenly came to mind.

Lu Xinrong has always been a bit aloof, so it's really strange to take the initiative to help out as an assistant.But at that time Tang Xiu thought that he wanted to express his gratitude for what happened last night, plus he just woke up and was still thinking about Jiang Qiao under the bed, so he didn't think much about it.

Li Ziping asked nervously, "So...you were discovered?"

"No." Tang Xiu paused, then slowly said: "It should be said that it was indeed discovered, but not today."

"What does this mean?" Li Ziping looked confused, but Tang Xiu looked at him and asked, "Let me ask you, does Lu Xinrong like dogs?"

Li Ziping shook his head naturally, "I don't like it. He was chased by dogs when he was a child, and he was a little afraid of dogs. Didn't you notice that when you were holding Xiaoxiu, he always walked around you?"

Tang Xiu grunted, and understood in his heart.

He has never been down-to-earth, and is the most experienced senior in the group. The most intuitive impression he gives is integrity and prudence.But there are no real fools in this circle. The most silent people may be the best at observing, but they don't easily say what they see.

Li Ziping muttered: "This person is a little hard to explain. He lied so carelessly, wouldn't we know it as a couple? Besides, he is a Hong Kong star, and you are a mainland actor, so it's no match for him."

Tang Xiu said softly: "Maybe, he just reminded me."

"Reminder? What's the use of him holding you?"

Tang Xiu glanced at Li Ziping and said nothing.

There must be a big secret behind the condition that Lu Xinrong consulted last night.This man was unbelievably transparent, he wanted to remind Tang Xiu, don't try, even if you know something, don't interfere.

It's just that Lu Xinrong didn't know that the ancestor walked for ten thousand years and collected countless souls. The more he was like this, the more his interest was aroused.

The makeup artist came in with a bunch of things, Tang Xiu asked softly, "Where is Ke Xin?"

"Just put on makeup and wait. The little girl has no princess disease at all, but she is very attractive."

Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Indeed, let's hurry up."

When Tang Xiu arrived on the set, Chen Fan had just arrived, and he was flirting with Lori every day.Ke Xin was wearing a big down jacket that was taller than her, and the hem of the clothes dragged the floor. She looked like she was sitting in a big ball of bread, with a beaming little face on her face.

Tang Xiu stepped forward to say hello, and then heard Chen Fan ask, "What are you drinking? Hot chocolate?"

The little girl shook her head, "Coffee."

"Drinking coffee at such a young age?" Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at Kexin's assistant, who sighed, "She didn't sleep well last night, and couldn't get up in the morning."

Chen Fan clicked his tongue, and Tang Xiu asked casually, "Why don't you sleep well? Is it too cold?"

"No, brother." Kexin smiled sweetly at her ancestor, "I wanted to go to the bathroom last night, but sister Xiaoru slept too soundly, so I went to the bathroom alone. It was so dark and scary outside, but I met Uncle Xinrong, he showed me a few funny videos, and after I got back, I couldn’t help but played with my phone all night.”

The assistant sighed and patted her head, "I can't give you a mobile phone in the future."

Tang Xiu knelt down and looked at Kexin, "What video did Uncle Xinrong show you?"

"Street tricks, it's super funny." Kexin remembered the video he watched last night, and laughed again, "I was afraid of ghosts, but I stopped being afraid and went back after going to the bathroom."

"That's it." Tang Xiu whispered.Chen Fan muttered next to him, "Senior is really obsessed with Kexin. When I first debuted, I made a horror movie with him for the first time. I was so scared that the set hiccupped. Senior even mocked me."

The manager made trouble next to him, "Ms. Lu didn't mock you for being afraid, but he disliked you for hiccupping too loudly."

Chen Fan blushed, hummed a song and walked away in a daze.Kexin's manager was called away by the director, and there was no one else around. Tang Xiu smiled and asked Kexin, "What else did Uncle Xin Rong say to you?"

"What else?" Kexin tilted her head and thought hard, "Oh, I said that I don't wear enough clothes, and I have to wear a scarf when I go to the toilet. Anyway, I said a lot, which is similar to what my dad usually said."

Seeing Tang Xiu thoughtful, the little girl asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." The ancestor smiled softly, and patted the little loli's head, "Your uncle Xinrong is right, the little girl is afraid of the cold, and it's so cold on the mountain, it's not good to get sick and have a fever."

Ke Xin nodded her head, "I know, I know, Uncle Xinrong said that fever can make you a fool, I'm so smart, I can't become a fool."

Tang Xiu's hand stiffened for a moment, and then he slowly retracted it.

A director's assistant ran out, "Hey, actors, take your seats, it's time to start the machine."

"Let's go brother." Kexin jumped off the stool, took the initiative to hold the hand of the ancestor, and walked hard, "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in the cave, I will lead you."

"Okay." Tang Xiu lowered his head and smiled.

Today's shots were better than yesterday's. There was additional lighting in the cave, and both of Tang Xiu's scenes were a pass.Shun Shun finished the filming of the trick, and the ancestor was able to see the symbol more clearly with the help of highlights when he came out from work.

In his view, it was a flat circle with meaningless ravines in the middle.Even though Jiang Qiao showed him the shape of a hexagram yesterday, it took the ancestor more than ten seconds to see the hexagram again.

What Jiang Qiao said was correct. This is very similar to the dot matrix for a psychological stress test. Different people see different arrangement patterns.This kind of phenomenon is not uncommon, but when it is connected with the symbol on No.80's first soul, it seems a bit too coincidental.

Li Ziping happened to pass by, "Why are you in a daze? Are you leaving?"

"Let's go." Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone to take a picture, then followed him outside, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Jiang Qiao told me a legend about this mountain yesterday, do you know?"

"Is it the legend of the martial arts master Li Chi and his disciples?"

"Seems to be."

Li Ziping smiled and said: "I checked this mountain before departure, there is such a legend. But I have never heard of Li Chi, and there are very few relevant details. I guess this is not a sensational story. Most of them are local people who forcibly excavated the history of this mountain and deliberately magnified the story."

Tang Xiu snorted.

Back in the tent, Tang Xiu searched the two keywords "Li Chi" and "Master and Apprentice" on the browser.There are indeed very few related explanations. After turning four or five pages, only two of them said this.

Jiang Qiao's summary was incomplete, and the most outrageous part was missing.Li Chi and his disciples are not about a strict teacher and Zhilan Yushu, but a rumor that the apprentice was unable to break through when he reached the last level of martial arts. Help the disciple to achieve success.Although Li Chi is profound in martial arts, according to records, he is a very life-hungry person. He gave his cherished life for his apprentice, so it became a good story.

What Li Ziping said is true, what was inspired by the heart, what is the breakthrough of the last layer, the setting is like a fantasy novel, the possibility of artificial fabrication is indeed extremely high.

But inexplicably, Tang Xiu vaguely felt that this situation was somewhat similar to him and Jiang Qiao.

Although the legend of heartache is too outrageous, perhaps, in order to guide Jiang Qiao to become a soul collector, the predecessors who inherited it must pay a huge price.The senior who fell asleep holding the banner back then should have cracked this price before finally choosing to give up.

Tang Xiu thought for a while, logged into the soul collector's forum, and sent another message to the soul collector codenamed 0010.

"You spent the last time with Senior, have you ever been to Lion Mountain in H City?"

After more than half an hour, the man replied.

"I took some time to look it up. The mountain you mentioned used to be called Suanni Mountain, and my predecessors did go there. But I was not there at that time, and I went to track down a great soul."
