I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 568 Extreme wisdom is bound to bring harm, deep affection is short-lived; it's better for the lay Buddhist to have more misfortune.
The paparazzi standing outside the gate fell silent upon seeing the huge three characters "Lingxiao Temple" in front of them.

To go in or not to go in, that is the question.

Suddenly, a paparazzo broke the silence, gritting his teeth and saying, "Since we're already here, let's go in. It's such a waste to turn back the way we came, and it takes an hour and a half to get back to the city from here!"

This sentence broke the silence. As this paparazzi entered, the others came to their senses, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to enter as well.

That person was right; we're already here.

It would be such a waste to go back empty-handed!

Besides, a Taoist temple that Jinli came to might actually be somewhat efficacious?
Some of the paparazzi even knew that this was Jinli's second time visiting Lingxiao Temple; she had visited it once before the college entrance examination.

There aren't many Taoist temples that Jinli would want to visit again after just one visit.

This suggests that the Taoist temple has been verified by Jinli, and perhaps it really is powerful?
Some paparazzi originally wanted to go back the way they came, hoping for a major exposé—that Jinli was a person whose true nature was unknown, morally corrupt, and involved in unethical activities—not...

Well, goodbye to that kind of "positive energy".

In fact, many celebrities have used various underhanded methods to become famous.

However, none of those methods were made public, and the celebrities themselves were very reluctant to discuss them.

Jinli was the first to openly go and pray, not afraid of being found out at all.

Or perhaps her farewell was clean enough.

Or perhaps she's confident enough that nothing else will be discovered!

Seeing that the other paparazzi had all gone inside, these paparazzi, with the noble intention of uncovering the ultimate truth, took their cameras and entered the Taoist temple.

the other side.

After Jinli entered the Taoist temple, the abbot Lingxiaozi, who was meditating in the quiet room, sensed something and immediately opened his eyes.

"Such a rich aura of heaven and earth, but why does it seem like it's leaking air and can't be retained?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Ling Xiaozi's eyes. After a quick calculation, he realized that it was an old friend visiting.

He immediately went outside and saw Jinli walking towards the main hall.

Ling Xiaozi's eyes lit up. "This layman, have you come here to renounce worldly life and enter the path of cultivation?"

Jinli: ...

She smiled faintly: "Taoist Master, I have something to ask of you. I've been being followed relentlessly, and I happened to see a Taoist temple on the way, so I thought I'd come in and hide for a while."

Ling Xiaozhi frowned deeply: "Tracking? Why are you being tracked? Could it be..."

Jinli was about to say that it's normal for celebrities to be followed by paparazzi.

The next second, Ling Xiaozhi spoke first, exclaiming in utter shock: "Could it be that those people have discovered your secret, and want to secretly abduct you back to refine you like Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

Now it's Jinli's turn: ? ? ?
No, is this something a human being could do?

Although I may not be very knowledgeable, don't try to fool me.

Having been a celebrity for several years, I've seen all sorts of ups and downs, but I've never seen anything this outrageous!

Jinli opened her mouth, as if to explain something, but Ling Xiaozhi waved his hand and said sternly:
"Fellow Daoist, the situation is urgent. There's no need for explanations. Come with me quickly, I'll take you to hide!"

Ling Xiaozi, holding Jinli's hand, also walked towards the main hall.

But the place where the main hall was hidden was a completely different world.

If Jinli hadn't come along, she wouldn't have known that there was a quiet room hidden behind these statues.

No, strictly speaking, this isn't the back, but rather inside the statue.

Jinli entered the quiet room, glanced at the layout, and noticed that through some special holes, she could see the scenery outside the statue. She couldn't help but glance at Ling Xiaozhi.

Ling Xiaozi coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said, "It was all arranged by our successive abbots. In the past, when we lived in a time of war, even the Taoist temple was often visited by bandits, so we came up with the idea of ​​'hiding the belly in the image'."

The traditions passed down from our ancestors have been passed down to this day, and we dare not easily change them.

Jinli immediately said, "I understand, I understand."

During the conversation, the Taoist temple was finally visited by a group of paparazzi.

The two immediately stopped their discussion and focused intently on observing the situation outside.

As soon as the paparazzi stepped into the Taoist temple, they felt the gentle breeze and the dappled shade of the leaves on their shoulders, and their restless hearts calmed down a bit.

To be fair, the scenery at Lingxiao Temple is quite beautiful.

Moreover, the interior layout of the Taoist temple is grand and spacious, without any feeling of crampedness, and the arrangement of each hall is also very solemn.

Subconsciously, the paparazzi even lightened their pace.

At this moment, their attention was drawn to the solemn and imposing statues of the gods. With clear minds and devout hearts, they offered incense and bowed repeatedly.

Upon seeing the believers entering, Ling Xiaozi couldn't help but say:

"There are many troubles in the mortal world. People come here with something in mind, but the gods cannot respond to everyone. It is already good enough if they can put aside their troubles for a moment."

Jinli nodded gently.

After the paparazzi finished offering incense, they went outside and began to tour the Taoist temple.

They had originally intended to find the golden pear, but as they searched, they were instead attracted by the cultural and creative products of the Taoist temple.

"Hey, I found a God of Wealth statue in the side hall. Shall we go and pay our respects?"

"I'd like to go, but isn't it to find Jinli?"

"Since we're already here, there's no rush. Let's go and worship the God of Wealth first."

"Let's go!"

After praying to the God of Wealth, the paparazzi decided to buy a "making a fortune every day" refrigerator magnet. The reason was simple: it's shiny and beautiful!
After buying the refrigerator magnets, they set their sights on the peach wood sword.

After buying the peach wood sword, they set their sights on the Peace and Fortune charm.

No matter how many people came, no one left Lingxiao Temple empty-handed.

By the end, the paparazzi had forgotten their original purpose and left with their bags full.

As for the brocade pear.

Sigh, I haven't seen them at all. They must have shaken them off and left ahead of time!
That's what the paparazzi were thinking.

After the group left, Ling Xiaozi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jinli with a puzzled expression.

"These are the people who are tracking you? They all look energetic, but they are actually empty inside, their steps are unsteady, and they all look like they've been staying up all night and damaging their kidneys." Jinli explained, "These people are paparazzi, but that's a common way of saying it. They are all people who work in the media industry and are used to working overtime at night. They can't track down any juicy stories during the day, since it's rare for celebrities to do outrageous things in broad daylight."

Ling Xiaozhi frowned even more: "Paparazzi? So you weren't being followed by your own kind?"

Jinli blinked innocently: "Daoist Master, I hadn't finished speaking when you dragged me to the meditation room. I was going to explain to you, but then this group of people came in. I didn't mean to."

Ling Xiaozi waved his hand dismissively; he had actually noticed Jinli's hesitation at the time.

He was always inclined to think the worst, so he made sure to be fully prepared, which is why he quickly pulled her into the quiet room.

Moreover, although Jinli looked like a dying person, her eyes were clear and her mind was bright, indicating that she was not an ungrateful person.

Even if you tell her the secret of Lingxiao Temple, she won't reveal it to anyone.

Lingxiaozi had been observing people's faces for decades and was quite confident in his judgment.

The paparazzi had left, and the Taoist priest and Jinli walked out of the meditation room together.

Before the statues of the Three Pure Ones, Ling Xiaozi said to Jinli earnestly, "This layperson, your body is very special. You were destined to die young, and to have lived until now is already defying fate. Therefore, every step you take is a struggle against heaven."

If you can enter into a meditative practice, letting go of worldly concerns, you might live a few more years, and more likely unravel the mysteries of the body, even progressing further towards the path of immortality. So, are you really not going to enter into a meditative practice?

This is the second time Ling Xiaozi has invited Jinli.

The Taoist temple emphasizes following fate, but everything should be done within three limits. Jinli straightened her expression and replied solemnly:

"Master, thank you for your kindness. My health is indeed very poor, so I come to the temple from time to time to pray to Heaven for more time."

"I prefer being in the world to renouncing it. As long as there's truth in my heart, where isn't there for cultivating the mind? Besides, I feel there are more important things waiting for me to do than spiritual practice."

Jinli paused for a moment and said, "Just like the concept of energy, my personal energy is insignificant, but the love that netizens have for me makes my energy constantly grow, and the spread of the internet also amplifies my energy."

I want to use this energy to do more meaningful things and see more beautiful scenery. Perhaps this is the true meaning behind why God kept me here.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jinli, Ling Xiaozi sighed.

“Layman, you should know that too much wisdom is harmful and deep affection is short-lived. I see that you have great fortune, but too much good fortune can lead to a short life. If necessary, you should let yourself be unlucky.”

Jinli nodded solemnly.

"Since you insist on doing this, then do more good deeds and live one day at a time."

Jinli nodded again.

After Ling Xiaozi left, Jinli bowed to the Three Pure Ones, but this time she did not receive a divine response.

Jinli was not surprised.

She felt that the gods had already spoken some of the things they wanted to tell her through Ling Xiaozhi's words.

Jinli did not leave the Taoist temple, but instead stayed there.

Once the paparazzi enter the Taoist temple, they may be able to relax a bit, but once they leave, those distracting thoughts will resurface, and it's hard to guarantee they won't be waiting outside.

Jinli doesn't want to face the paparazzi for the time being.

same moment.

The paparazzi, once outside the Taoist temple, immediately wrote reports and posted them online.

In an instant, topics such as #JinLiGoesToTaoistTempleToPray#, #JinLiAlsoHasAcademicAnxiety#, #HowScoreCanJinLiGet#, and #WhenWillGuChengGoToPrayToPray# quickly rose to the top ten trending topics.

No one thought that Jinli's visit to the Taoist temple at this time wasn't for the sake of her grades.

At this particular juncture, going to a Taoist temple is definitely a way to assess one's performance!
I'm also taking the college entrance exam this year. With the results approaching, I'm getting more and more anxious. I'm planning to go pray tomorrow!

I already prayed before the college entrance exam, I didn't expect I could pray again after the exam, let's pray!

Jinli is truly passionate about Taoist temples! In the past two years, she has single-handedly boosted the temples' KPIs countless times!

I once slept in a Taoist temple because I had a nightmare after moving to a new house the day before, so I went to the temple to ward off evil spirits. I have to say, sleeping in the temple felt warm, as if I was being bathed in golden light~

Jinli's trending topic also boosted the trending topic of Gu Cheng, who is also a high school senior taking the college entrance examination.

Some netizens took the initiative to call out to Gu Cheng, asking him when he planned to go and pray.

Many child stars participate in the art exams every year, but this year, because two big stars, Jin Li and Gu Cheng, took the college entrance exams through normal channels, all the child stars paled in comparison.

They have already proven with their abilities that while performing their job exceptionally well, their academic performance is also consistently excellent, enough to make them a strong contender for the college entrance examination!
Some netizens also expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that the greater the hype, the greater the disappointment.

Many of these netizens are fans of other celebrities. They are unhappy to see Jin Li and Gu Cheng gaining so much popularity and stealing the spotlight from their own idols.

Regardless, Jinli's visit to the temple attracted media attention and successfully suppressed the scandal surrounding "Dawn".

The scandal has been losing its momentum due to the lack of attention from the "Dawn" production team.

It might fall off the trending topics list by tomorrow and become just another topic of conversation for some gossip media.

It's not that there weren't online trolls spreading the scandal about "Dawn," but netizens were already somewhat tired of the news, especially those who came specifically to follow the gossip; after reading the exposé, they felt utterly bored.

[Xu Ting's attitude towards the assistant director is a bit problematic, but Bai Jiang doesn't seem to have it, and Bai Jiang always completes the tasks assigned by the director well. The assistant director is only responsible for unimportant long shots, so it's normal for the stars not to value them, right?]

If Director Chu used footage shot by the assistant director, it means there were no problems with the two stars' shots. Director Chu is the one who values ​​this film the most. If Director Chu thinks the footage is fine and no reshoots were needed, then I also think there are no problems.

I used to be in the industry for a while, working as an assistant director. Some assistant directors on film crews were just doing odd jobs, with almost no real power.

……

Sui Lingfang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the controversy surrounding "Dawn" subside.

If Jinli's information can't be suppressed, they'll have to prepare a second round of revelations to avoid Director Chu thinking they're not doing their job.

Zou Da checked the trending topics and said, "Netizens are still very interested in Jin Li and Gu Cheng's grades. Any slight revelation will cause a stir, and many test takers are transferring their anxieties to these two celebrities."

I looked at the comments under Jin Li's trending topic, and many of them were from this year's graduating students who had been following Jin Li and Gu Cheng's college entrance exam results.

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and said, "Will it have a negative impact on Jinli?"

Zou Da shook his head: "I can't see it for now, but the attention these candidates receive will bring Jinli a lot of commercial value. Some endorsements related to studying will probably come knocking on our door."

Sui Lingfang spread her hands: "There's nothing I can do. Jinli said that she has relied on self-discipline and efficiency to get to where she is today, not on any learning aids. If any related endorsement offers come up, she told me to turn them all down."

Zou Da pondered for a moment, then his brows relaxed: "You're right, we still need to be careful in this regard and avoid getting involved."

If a student uses the learning aids endorsed by Jin Li but their grades don't improve, the fans might not be too bothered, but the parents could be difficult to deal with. They'll demand an explanation, which won't be easy to resolve.

Sui Lingfang refreshed her blog again, and seeing that the situation was completely under control, she then started browsing related trending topics about Xi Mengze.

She will soon be participating in "I Am a Singer," a variety show that's a master at generating buzz.

She had to keep a close eye on her, lest Mengmeng be sacrificed by the production team without her noticing.
