Chapter 171 [Demons]

Different!
totally different!
The woman in front of me is no longer the same woman as before!

The moment that figure came to him at a speed that he couldn't even catch his sight, grabbed his neck easily, and lifted himself up, Huang Xian actually realized what kind of existence he had provoked.

'how is this possible? '

'How is it possible that there is such a thing among human beings in this day and age? '

'Trance, this is such a thing left over from ancient times. '

Huang Xian's whole body stiffened, and his dark eyes stared at the kind-looking woman in front of him.

As a spiritual being who has spent a long time, her thinking has already broken away from the category of animals and possesses the same wisdom as humans.

Even, she has not always lived in this mountain.

Once upon a time, Huang Xian also walked out of the mountains and went to a more prosperous city where humans gathered.

She has seen other special existences, whether they are the same spiritual beings or people.

As the most common deity among Tang people, Huang Xian has certainly been seen before.

However, what she saw were also the rituals and utensils that had gradually weakened from the old era to the new era after long years of erosion. Those who had inherited the traditions of 'jitong', 'spiritual boy', 'catching dead ghosts', and 'divine beating'... Skilled people invite extremely weak and fuzzy spirits.

No consciousness, low ability to exorcise evil spirits, unclear usage...

Those spirits have all kinds of problems.

In the new era of development based on 'science', special groups like ourselves are slowly weakening, disappearing, and forgotten.

But in front of him, the consciousness of the invited spirit in this woman was so clear.

It's as if... it's real!
"But even if you say no, I have no way to tell the truth from the false." After asking, 'Yu Wenxiu' asked and answered herself, "Sure enough, for professional matters, it is better to ask professional people to confirm."

As she spoke, she held the Huangxian with one hand and dug around her body with the other hand.

Soon, she took out her mobile phone.

After leaving the area shrouded in darkness, the signal had been restored.

"Squeak!"

After 'Yu Wenxiu' asked and answered his own questions, the strong sense of crisis disappeared.

Huang Xian squeaked again.

She tried to hold a conversation.

'Yu Wenxiu' looked at him helplessly, "Shh..."

"Please let me make a call first, Grandma Huang? This title feels good."

"Hello."

While Huang Xian was being asked to calm down, the phone in his hand was already connected.

A mature male voice came from the phone, his tone was quite tired.

"Taoist Priest, isn't the matter in Xiangcheng over yet?"

'Yu Wenxiu' asked strangely.

Of course she wasn't calling Liu Baoning, although it might be more straightforward to use Ning Ning's spiritual pupils to identify the position directly from the breath.

But being direct doesn't mean a good thing.

It was as if Liang Meijuan had an evil spirit that made Xiao Zhongyong and Guanshan Taoist despise her, but in fact, Lu Zhengyi didn't think she did anything wrong in the end.

At least from the perspective of Liang Le, the son, the mountain that was pressing on him disappeared in an instant.

It is a huge change for the future of life.

But from a stable standpoint, it was wrong for her to use her power to kill people.

When judging a position, in addition to the results, the process is also very important.

"...Ah, well, it hasn't been resolved yet."

The voice on Taoist Guanshan's side was quiet for a while, and then he said vaguely, "So Teacher Yu, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Ah, by the way, I am Yu Wenxiu now."

'Yu Wenxiu' held the mobile phone and couldn't help but smile in her voice, "It's me, it's me, Taoist Master, Lu Zhengyi."

Taoist Guanshan: "..."

Through the phone and the distance, Lu Zhengyi could feel the confusion on the other end of the phone from Master Guanshan.

"……Eh?"

For a long time, he made a sound of unknown meaning.

"Excessive explanations can be discussed later."

Lu Zhengyi glanced at Huang Xian, who was motionless in his hand and staring at him like a doll. "Teacher Yu is now encountering a situation. What is the name of this mountain on the edge of Dongcheng? It seems that it has no name. .”

"Anyway, I met a yellow fairy here. It seemed that it bumped into this old lady and pissed her off, so she was left behind, along with the entire crew."

"Now is it convenient for you to contact your people and come over to find out the situation? Or, should I deal with it directly?"

Say so.

The Huangxian in his hand shouted "Zhizhizhi" a few more times, but this time it was not directed at him, but at the phone.

"Huang Xian...white hair?"

On the phone, Master Guanshan's tone became cautious and he asked questions.

"Ang, white hair."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "From her words, I feel that this guy is not young, and he has so many grandchildren serving him."

"...That's Mrs. Huang!"

Taoist Master Guanshan's tone increased, "You actually..."

Can you actually handle such an old thing?

Xiangcheng,

In a deep forest with dense trees, a Taoist priest was leaning on a tree.

In the distance, people wearing white isolation suits and wrapping themselves tightly were checking something everywhere. There were hundreds of them.

Most of them are ordinary people without spirituality.

Only a very few have such a special aura about them.

'Perhaps I should re-judge Lu Zhengyi's level. '

At this moment, Taoist Guanshan had an unconcealable surprise on his face.

"What, do you actually know me?"

The guy's voice came out on the phone.

Although Yu Wenxiu's voice was used in the conversation, the tone was still as calm as ever.

There was no delay at all just because he was facing such an old guy.

"Of course, Mrs. Huang is a very senior senior."

Taoist Guanshan wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves, "Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I have heard about it from my master, and it is also recorded in many classics in the temple."

"She is a senior who has existed for at least 200 years! Mrs. Huang is a very experienced and knowledgeable spiritual being. She will not take action against humans easily. Even if she takes action, it will be in a playful manner at best. She will not hurt."

"In the past, she also helped eliminate many evil things hiding in the mountains. She was a very famous fairy family in the East City area. So, is she next to you now?"

Lu Zhengyi's voice paused, a little embarrassed, "Well... more or less, it's next to me."

Although Taoist Guanshan felt that the other party's tone was a bit strange, he didn't think much about it, "In short, try to resolve it peacefully with her. When the old lady gets old, she will have a childlike innocence and like to play, so I understand."

Especially a monster like Mrs. Huang.

As long as they don't hurt anyone and are just teasing, they are quite tolerant.

After all, the existence of spiritual objects is getting rarer and rarer in this era...

wrong.

Thinking of this, Taoist Guanshan suddenly stopped.

Is it rare?

As of now, a lot of things have happened to Lu Zhengyi.

Things that are difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with in their lifetime, that guy doesn't know why, he keeps encountering them.

Even besides himself, the people around him seemed to be affected.

"If this is the case, then I will resolve it peacefully." Lu Zhengyi's reply sounded on the phone, "But this incident has involved many people, and the entire crew is now scared."

"As for the aftermath, I don't know how to deal with it."

"You have been able to hide the truth for so many years. There must be... some special method, right?"

Taoist Guanshan's face became helpless, "I know, I know, we will be responsible for the aftermath."

"Old Mrs. Huang, I hope you won't embarrass her too much. She has done a lot of good things in Dongcheng."

"Besides that, there is also the matter of Yu Wenxiu. Remember to explain to me later why you are able to have sex with her."

You can't. Are you really an immortal?

The guy who had been telling himself before, 'immortals don't exist', 'cultivating immortals is impossible', and 'this is too fantasy', has turned out to be infinitely close to that level?

Thinking of this, Taoist Guanshan couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the phone.

"Okay, let's do this for now, I have something else to do here."

He suppressed the thoughts in his mind and hung up the phone.

When talking to this guy, I can't always suppress the emotions and thoughts welling up in my heart.

Maybe, this guy might become his own demon.

"Guardian."

At this time, a person wearing an isolation suit hurriedly came over from a distance and reported directly to the Guanshan Taoist Hui through a mask, "It can basically be confirmed that the previous heavy rain in Xiangcheng was related to it, but I am not sure it was intentional. It’s still unintentional.”

"Judging from the part of the traces it left when it moved, it was extremely large, but it did not cause any substantial damage to the surrounding environment. It seems to be an intentional protection."

"Now it's gone, for real this time."

Taoist Guanshan put his cell phone back in his pocket and returned his attention to the work in front of him. "In this case, it can be defined as a spiritual creature within the stable line for the time being."

Although it is huge in size, it does not wantonly destroy the mountains and forests during its movement. This is the nature of some natural creatures.

They are born in nature, and they also act as a 'protector' of nature. Occasionally, they will give back to nature, affecting the growth of soil, water sources, vegetation... in some areas.

Even the heavy rain in Xiangcheng had a great impact on people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But that's for people.

Of course, if they have hostile thoughts towards humans for the sake of the natural environment and intentionally exert a large-scale impact, they will also be judged as objects that need to be eliminated.

Although cruel.

But this is what should be done.

"By the way, let's inform the people over in Dongcheng and go into the mountains to find a crew."

Speaking of this, Guanshan Taoist seemed to have remembered something and said quickly.

I almost forgot, and Yu Wenxiu's crew.

……

……

"Ha, Teacher Yu really realized a very special ability."

Jiangcheng,

Liangxi,

Late at night, in a hotel room,

Lu Zhengyi sat on the wooden chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city below while helping Xiao Zhongyong smooth the cat's hair.

"Meow?"

On Xiao Zhongyong's cat face, there was some doubt.

"It's probably the same ability as asking a god to take over."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "If you have a chance next time, you can let Teacher Yu try to analyze and play you."

"If you can make a connection, you may also become a cat fairy."

"Speaking of which, I have occasionally heard of yellow fairies, fox fairies, and gray fairies, but I have never heard of cat fairies."

And if you think about it carefully, that white-haired weasel seems quite cute.

For others, it's just scary.

Hearing these names, Xiao Zhongyong regained his spirits, "Meow!"

"can not eat."

Lu Zhengyi held down the raised cat's head, "Speaking of which, these seem to be included in your recipe."

As they spent more and more time with Xiao Zhongyong, the way they talked gradually changed from speculation to a habitual conversation.

It’s not like I can really understand cat language anymore.

It's just that I can understand what he said.

"And after becoming spiritual, you should be considered to be in the same category, right?"

Speaking of this, Lu Zhengyi thought of the Huangxian who should have been around longer than Xiao Zhongyong. "She also seemed to feel embarrassed about her characteristics as a weasel. Being said to like to fart would also make her feel ashamed. Emotions."

"Compared to your mutual categories, cat and ferret. You may have had more contact with people, and you are more like people, regarding concepts and so on."

"Wouldn't it be weird for you to treat each other as food?"

Xiao Zhongyong's cat face was a little dull, as if he was thinking deeply about this issue.

He probably has never seen anyone similar to him.

Not a cat, but a spiritual animal.

"It's already past ten o'clock. It's almost time to go to bed. There are a lot of things going on today."

Lu Zhengyi yawned, caught a plane in the morning and went to Zhang Yu's house to see a doctor. In the afternoon, he shifted his consciousness and helped Yu Wenxiu solve the dilemma.

And tomorrow, after he goes to see Liang Le's condition, he probably won't stay too long and will return to Beidu that day.

"Ring Ling—"

But just when Lu Zhengyi was about to get up and walk towards the bed, the mobile phone on the round table in front of him rang.

Different from ordinary mobile phone ringtones, people can know who the contact is by hearing it.

"good evening."

Lu Zhengyi sat down again and picked up the phone, "Haven't you rested yet?"

"Ah, um... because we are starting to prepare for the proclamation of the First Commandment."

Zhang Xueming's voice rang from the phone, accompanied by the sounds of the keyboard and mouse.

It sounds like I made this call again while working.

"Well, actually, this film shouldn't need as much publicity as before. I'm very confident in it." Lu Zhengyi replied understandingly. Although the film has not been cut yet, usually after the film is completed, it will Warm up first.

Sometimes when a movie comes out it's not that people don't like it, it's that they really haven't seen the news.

Maybe it was too busy during the publicity period, or something happened and I missed it.

By the time we find out the news, the popularity of the film may have passed, and it may even have been released.

It can take up to several months for a movie to go from finalization to post-production to review and release.

Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out warm-up publicity in batches within these few months. This will attract people's attention to a greater extent and leave at least one person who may watch this film next month or the month after that. Impressions of the screening.

When the time comes, they will naturally remember it.

"Hey, are you so confident?"

Zhang Xueming was a little surprised.

Although Lu Zhengyi was confident about the quality of his previous works, he never underestimated the promotion work.

He understands rationally that no matter how good a work is, if others don't even know about the work, then no matter how good the work itself is, there won't be many people who will appreciate it.

Even if there is, it will take a long time to publicize the tap water test.

"After all, I'm not that kind of unknown person now."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "And there are so many people helping me promote it, right?"

He didn't say it outright, but both of them knew what it was.

Those who intend to step on him.

"Too."

Zhang Xueming smiled on the other side, "Since I want to step on you and become...a newbie in the horror film market, I will inevitably mention it in the promotion."

"The audience and fans gained by your crew's films should not be affected by those purchased marketing tweets. Instead, they will get the news that your new film is about to be released because of their news."

“What a free publicity.”

As for the quality of the film, it really surpasses Lu Zhengyi.

From the track, take the first place head-on.

This is impossible.

Both are confident.

This confidence is not based on arrogant emotions, but on the efforts of everyone on the crew, Wang Xiaoxu's ability, and excellent scripts.

"Speaking of which, I came to you today because I actually wanted to tell you something."

Zhang Xueming's smile was slightly restrained, a little unnatural, "Tomorrow, our team will go to negotiate work matters with the theater."

"But it's not a formal workplace, but a cocktail party."

"The reception is organized by the theater chain. In addition to us, people from other entertainment and media companies will be present."

More important contracts are basically negotiated in non-work settings.

The formal occasion is actually the final part of signing the contract.

"Really……"

Lu Zhengyi replied blankly.

But soon, he realized the meaning of the other person's words, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"As for me, I'm here in Liangxi today, and I'm going to visit Xiaole tomorrow morning."

"After we finish, we should be on a plane back to Beidu at noon."

"If you can arrive in time at night, do you need me to pick you up?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little surprised that Zhang Xueming thought of this first.

If the relationship between two people wants to get closer, it is very necessary to enter each other's private life from work.

What she said just now was not a hint that she would come to pick me up, but a shared itinerary.

Apart from official business, if it is a more intimate relationship, even if it is a boyfriend and girlfriend, where and when to attend some crowded activities, or to meet someone of the opposite sex alone... These are all things that can be reported , to avoid being a bomb among each other.

What's more, Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming want to have a closer relationship as a couple than as boyfriend and girlfriend.

He hadn't considered this before, and it was a bit negligent.

"if convenient."

Zhang Xueming quickly replied, "It should be night after it's over."

"I'll send you the location first, and when you get off the plane, send me a message."

"If the timing goes well, I need you to come and pick me up."

Her tone relaxed visibly.

Lu Zhengyi could clearly feel through the phone that the other party had a feeling that after trying it, he found that it was not that difficult.

It can be seen that she is actually changing.

In order to better manage the 'marriage' cooperation.

"Okay, I'll send you a message when I get there."

Lu Zhengyi replied.

But the conversation between the two never ended.

Often working, on the movie The First Commandment.

But in addition to only working before, now I also occasionally intersperse some things in life.

For example, does Zhang Xueming have any old books in his collection? How was Zhang Yu's health when he went to see him today? Wang Xiaoxu's condition...

It's verbose, but actually there aren't many topics about life.

Both of them are workaholics, and their day is almost filled with work.

So it’s not so much that we don’t talk, or it should be said that there isn’t that much to say.

"That's it."

In Light and Shadow Media, in the office, Zhang Xueming hung up the phone.

In front of me, the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen had reached past eleven o'clock without realizing it.

As for the work documents, they still remain the same as they were more than an hour ago.

Although she would type on the keyboard from time to time during this chat, in fact, the content she typed would be quickly erased after she regained consciousness.

"Hey, let's stay here for now."

Zhang Xueming sighed, turned off the computer helplessly, stood up and cleared the table.

If it were normal, she would not choose to leave work if the work tasks scheduled for today were not completed.

But today is different.

After hurriedly clearing the desktop and picking up the bag on the chair, Zhang Xueming walked out of the office quickly, clocked in, and got off work.

Until you reach the underground parking lot, start the car and drive off the road.

Her face was always serious.

Since she proposed the idea of ​​marriage with Lu Zhengyi, until now, her feelings have been pretty good.

The other party was more rational than he thought and put forward many ideas that he had never considered.

This makes Zhang Xueming more confident about this marriage.

While having confidence, she also made a decision today.

'Clap. '

I unlocked the door and walked into the house. There was no light on in the dark living room.

But when Zhang Xueming turned on the light, there was actually someone in the living room.

A man and a woman were sitting on the sofa with equally serious faces, seemingly waiting for something.

"really……"

Zhang Xueming's face showed helplessness, "Obviously I have already said that we can talk about it at breakfast tomorrow."

"It's already very late, why don't you get some rest first."

That was her father, Zhang Chuanxing.

Mother, Hu Chan.

"I have raised her for almost 30 years, and my daughter who has never had any interest in love and marriage suddenly told me that she is going to get married. Do you think I can sleep?"

Zhang Chuanxing asked with a stern face, "And it's in the form of notification."

Next to him, his wife Hu Chan also looked very unhappy, "Mingming, you did this wrong."

"I'm sorry, Mom. From a normal perspective, I was indeed wrong. I apologize."

Zhang Xueming's expression remained unchanged, and she replied while putting on her slippers, "Under normal circumstances, I should have made a boyfriend and then told you."

"In this process, you may put some tests on him, and then we will spend a long period of time step by step, and finally tell you the news of our decision to get married."

"But actually, it was a decision that came to me out of the blue."

Hu Chan's eyes widened, "Are you still planning a flash marriage?!"

After 30 years of raising a daughter who has always remained sane, who did she meet that made her suddenly turn into a love brain and decide to have a flash marriage?
"Tell me why."

But as a father, Zhang Chuanxing was stunned for a moment and thought of something, "If it was a sudden decision, could it be said that it was Lu Zhengyi? The marriage was based on business considerations."

His face softened a little.

"Eh?"

Hu Chan, who was still staring at her daughter, was stunned and turned to look at her husband blankly.

What's the meaning.

In a family of three, everyone with the surname Zhang knows, but I am the only one who doesn’t know the surname Hu.

Who is Lu Zhengyi?
"...don't you understand your daughter?"

Zhang Chuanxing responded to his wife's gaze and quickly explained, "If it's a boyfriend who has been hiding from us for a long time and secretly found her, then forget it."

"But this sudden flash marriage, do you think it will happen to your daughter?"

As he said that, he paused and looked at Zhang Xueming, who was sitting next to him, "You basically have nothing else to do except going to work every day."

"In this way, the only person you have a good impression of at work is Lu Zhengyi, right?"

"I remember that you have a good relationship with him, and you even proposed to help him promote the film overseas."

Zhang Xueming sat upright and nodded, "Yes, out of the idea of ​​cooperation and marriage."

"I think becoming a couple with him will be helpful to our company. Recently, you may have noticed that after the company changed its operating strategy, its status in the industry has gradually declined. Because our focus is on bloggers and long-term Videos, short videos, instead of actors, movies, TV series, variety shows..."

"But now I'm telling you, it feels a bit like a relationship. I actually didn't raise this kind of company matter at the company's meeting, but reported it to you privately."

Zhang Chuanxing waved his hands and replied with a somewhat depressed expression:

"You don't have to be so polite, Xueming."

"I have noticed what you said. To be honest, if you can marry Lu Zhengyi, of course you will be telling other people in the industry that we have not given up on movies and TV series... our cooperation in these directions has only increased. Additional development strategies.”

"I also understand his situation. If there is Guangying as a guarantee, I believe that those who hope to invest in his movies but cannot accept the conditions he proposes should also be able to accept it."

It's a win-win.

but……

Feeling the danger around him rising again, Zhang Chuanxing quickly changed his words, "But what about your feelings for him?"

"Marriage is not a trivial matter, Xue Ming. It is a matter related to your future life. As the saying goes, a man is afraid of going into the wrong line, and a woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man."

"It's hard to say whether your cooperation for the purpose of marriage can be maintained in the future. As a father, I hope you can consider this matter carefully."

After saying that, he paused and said, "Of course, the same goes for your mother."

"We Guangying, in fact, I don't have any ideas about striving for more. We can operate normally and maintain stable income. You are the only one in our family. As long as you can live happily in the future, parents will be at ease."

"Dad, Mom..."

Hesitation appeared on Zhang Xueming's face, "How should I put it? Actually, he is actually pretty good."

"I mean, he's very sensible, very responsible, and he seems very safe."

"Even if we don't consider marriage, if we consider it based on living a good life, I think he is still a very reliable candidate."

Being able to put forward so many ideas and consider so much instead of just agreeing all at once.

When it comes to marriage, you can "think about the rest of your life" instead of deliberately avoiding the various responsibilities that you should bear after making a choice.

In this case, Lu Zhengyi is a good candidate to live with.

Even if they are really inappropriate in the future, they can end up relatively peacefully.

Not to mention that everyone was in a quarrel.

Zhang Chuanxing and Hu Chan were stunned for a moment.

This was the first time they heard Zhang Xueming talk about a boy so directly.

Going forward, it's not like they haven't found a partner for their daughter, and the answers they got were basically Zhang Xueming's comments on other people's shortcomings.

And if I insist on asking about it, I can only get words like 'quite good', 'very sunny', 'looks good at talking', 'very honest'... etc. from my daughter's mouth, which are basically the same. Let it go.

But the evaluation of 'very reliable' is somewhat different.

"So, what about the disadvantages?"

Zhang Chuanxing couldn't help asking.

"Shortcomings..."

Zhang Xueming's face showed embarrassment.

To be honest, she saw almost no shortcomings in Lu Zhengyi.

This guy is obviously three or four years younger than me, but he does everything in an orderly manner.

"If you have to say it, some things should always be said in a vague way."

Zhang Xueming thought for a long time before making such a comment under the complicated expressions of her parents.

Yes, whenever she asked about those supernatural things, he was always like a riddle man, explaining in a more tactful and suggestive way.

There were obviously only two people, but he still didn't want to say it directly.

"……cough."

Zhang Chuanxing paused, and after a while, he suddenly said, "This is not a simple shortcoming, Xueming."

"He speaks in a foggy manner, which shows that this kid is very good at deceiving people and good at acting."

"As a director, if Lu Zhengyi wants to package a very perfect image in front of you, is it possible?"

How could there be a man whose own daughter couldn't find faults?

You know, even my own father is occasionally disliked for nepotism.
