I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 638 Just off the stage, in the hospital (Seeking monthly votes)
So Jinli took out props from her bag and set up the ritual. This scene was released as behind-the-scenes footage after the show was filmed, sparking a discussion across the internet.

Many netizens believe that if Jinli ever loses interest in the entertainment industry, she might actually become a Taoist priest.

Look how familiar they are with the procedures for setting up rituals and performing ceremonies.

At the scene, Jinli set up the simple ritual and had Qiguan Mingzhu stand in another place, while she remained in her original position.

Whatever she did, Qi Guanmingzhu would follow her lead.

During this process, Jinli will also chant incantations while shaking an old-fashioned little bell in her hand.

Regardless of what others might think when they see this video, Qi Guan Mingzhu, who was also present, was completely fooled by Jin Li's appearance.

As a friend, she naturally knew that Jinli was very interested in Taoist culture.

Especially since he had been in poor health, he placed all his hopes on the Taoist temple.

When a person is extremely vulnerable, having faith is better than having no faith, as having no faith makes it easy to break down.

Therefore, Qi Guan Mingzhu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and only thought that Jinli liked Taoist culture.

But now, she suddenly understood Sui Lingfang's worries.

This kid used to just like it, and he would go to the Taoist temple every few days.

Even when going to university, they would specifically choose a major that would allow them to learn about religious studies.

Now it's even better; they've even learned the specific rituals and ceremonies.

According to Jinli, this small ceremony was just a trial run.

But what if one day, Jinli is no longer satisfied with small attempts and wants to try something big?

Will she then enter the Taoist temple and hold various major festival ceremonies?
Of course, let's set aside whether Jinli's ceremony was professional or not.

From the perspective of the Taoist temple alone, Jinli is a very popular celebrity. Even just showing her face in the crowd, let alone participating in the ceremony, would attract a lot of attention.

If she really is just a mascot making an appearance at the ceremony, that would be a big deal.

Qi Guan Mingzhu suddenly shuddered, her absent-minded thoughts brought back by the clear sound of bells, and she could still hear Jin Li mumbling incantations in her ears.

Although she couldn't understand what it was, it gave her a very professional feeling.

Oh no, she can't think about it anymore, or she'll start to feel sorry for Fang Jie.

Q: What's it like to have an entertainer who might run away to become a Taoist priest at any time?
After a small ceremony was completed, the program crew's voice came through their earpieces, instructing them to start preparing and to come backstage five minutes later to get ready.

Qi Guanmingzhu felt confident this time, and her nervousness vanished.

Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that she was blessed by the power of the gods, which made her very confident and also arrogant!

As for Jinli...

Mingzhu looked up at her, but she remained calm and composed throughout.

Upon arriving at the designated backstage preparation point, they waited for instructions before being lifted onto the stage by a lift.

While waiting, Qi Guanmingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Jinli, how do you know those rituals? They seem quite convincing."

Jinli blinked. "I've been reading books on religion lately. The rituals are all very simple; you can learn them just by reading the book."

Mingzhu: "Is it really that simple? You can learn it just by reading a book?"

If she hadn't been educated before, she would have truly believed it.

Jinli said sincerely, "Yes, many methods and knowledge books mention them, especially some ancient books, which record them quite comprehensively."

Qi Guanmingzhu thought for a moment and asked, "Can others also learn those rituals and ceremonies through reading?"

Jinli said, "Although the book records everything, some of the meanings are rather obscure. If you don't understand the true meaning, it's easy to go astray."

However, if you truly learn from a Taoist master, there shouldn't be any problems. The steps passed down through generations are the most rigorous, and have also undergone numerous optimizations.

"If you didn't study with those Taoist priests, how can you be sure you're right?"

Jinli smiled and said, "In these kinds of things, if the feeling is right, then it's basically right."

Qi Guanmingzhu asked curiously, "Can I do that too?"

Jinli thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You still need to learn from the Taoist priest to maintain your accuracy. Since you're going to learn, then learn well."

Qi Guanmingzhu asked cautiously, "Does Sister Fang know about your knowledge of rituals and ceremonies?"

Jinli smiled sweetly: "I don't know, but she doesn't restrict my learning in this area."

Mingzhu thought to herself, "That makes sense."

You can't hit them, you can't scold them, so it's better to know nothing and just lie flat when the storm comes.

After the two finished talking, a notification sounded in their earpieces, and the elevator began to slowly rise.

Qi Guanmingzhu suddenly realized that when she was chatting with Jinli, she didn't think about the stage at all, let alone what would happen if she accidentally messed it up.
Now, she goes on stage with a very peaceful mindset.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jinli. Unlike her, Jinli had never shown any nervousness, whether during dance practice or rehearsals for the show.

Before she knew it, Jinli had grown up even faster than her.

The youngest member, who used to be the most nervous in the team, has now become someone she can rely on.

Qi Guanmingzhu was filled with emotion. The moment the elevator fully lifted onto the stage, she first closed her eyes, and then opened them again.

Facing the blurry stands ahead, several huge, blinding lights shone overhead.

As soon as she stepped on stage, she quickly started rapping to the rhythm.

"Yo! Listen to this rhythm, we're coming from the East."

Our rich cultural heritage spanning millennia is our greatest source of confidence.
Not just a vase, not just a decoration, we have attitude.
Like a coiled dragon, who dares underestimate our potential!

"Ahhh!" When Qi Guanmingzhu's voice rang out, the entire audience erupted in screams.

Many people guessed correctly, and many others didn't.

It turns out that Qi Guan Mingzhu came to sing overtime for Xi Mengze!
Many contestants breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qi Guan Mingzhu.

Qi Guanmingzhu is nothing to fear.

As Mingzhu's rapid and powerful rap complemented his, Xi Mengze's loud voice softened, then gradually expanded, becoming brighter with the rhythm.

But some audience members on stage noticed.

The stage lights were not all on; only the areas around Xi Mengze and Qi Guanmingzhu were illuminated, while another area remained dark.

When the rap ended, Qi Guanmingzhu and Xi Mengze's voices merged together, and the audience's eyes lit up.

Because they heard a third voice in the chorus!

"Dragon soars! Dragon soars! A dream that breaks through the clouds."

Dragon soars! Dragon soars! A steely stance.

Dragon soars! Dragon soars! Dancing with the miracle of five thousand years!

As the chorus grew louder and louder, a beam of light suddenly shone into the always dark area.

When the last person appeared, the screams became even more frenzied.

"Jin Li!!!" "Jin Li?" In the players' lounge, everyone's mouths were agape. How could Jin Li be here?

"No, didn't they say she wouldn't be coming?" One contestant blurted out in his excitement.

She was immediately nudged by the contestant next to her, who whispered a reminder: "There are cameras around."

Just when everyone thought Jinli had come to sing, as the melody grew louder and louder, Jinli performed a one-handed backflip in the center of the stage, executing the most difficult move of the entire dance performance.

The backflip was just the beginning. Because the song was called "Dragon Soaring," she prepared a dragon headgear and started performing a dragon dance, just like a lion dance!
Jinli controlled the dragon, standing on the wooden stakes that had been set up, jumping left and right, and sometimes interacting with her teammates.

Her actions left the audience both thrilled and terrified.

The moment Jinli appeared, the number of comments in the "I Am a Singer" live stream surged, and the popularity score was the highest of the entire event.

Even the arrival of Qi Guan Mingzhu only added a little bit, but as soon as Jin Li appeared, the popularity skyrocketed, and the show became number one!

The other contestants were already gaping in astonishment.

They were speechless; to be precise, they didn't know what to say in the live stream, or what they should say.

Finally, an older singer remarked meaningfully, "Didn't they say Jinli's health wasn't very good? How come she can do so many difficult moves?"

Other singers said, "Maybe it's because they're giving it their all."

The veteran singer originally said this to get the other contestants to delve deeper into why Jinli, despite her poor health, was able to perform so many difficult moves, thus conversely suggesting that Jinli's poor health was just a publicity stunt.

However, the other singers ignored this comment and instead spoke up for Jinli.

"They're so dedicated, so willing to go all out, so amazing!" another singer said.

"I'm really worried she'll fall off the stake. There must have been some padding underneath, right?"

"They really went all out. I'm so lucky to have teammates like that. Why has no one ever worked this hard for me?"

"Oh my god, another difficult move, it's so physically demanding!"

Jinli was indeed physically exhausted on site.

However, she had already practiced many difficult moves during rehearsals. While she couldn't maintain that level of flexibility for a long time, she could certainly pull it off in a short burst.

The song was only a little over three minutes long, but 50 seconds had already passed when they came on stage.

The remaining time is not entirely dedicated to high-difficulty moves.

The most difficult moves are presented for at most a few dozen seconds. Jinli can still hold on to the burst of power within those few dozen seconds or even a minute.

When she took off the hood and revealed her face, her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The team's next actions were all very simple and could be considered a break.

However, at this moment, Jinli's lips had already turned somewhat pale.

Even lipstick can't cover up the whiteness.

Most of the lipstick was rubbed off when the dragon dance headgear was removed.

Despite being drenched in sweat and with pale lips, netizens only thought: Jinli is working too hard!

[You can tell he's almost out of energy.]

[He was a little unsteady on his feet during the curtain call.]

[It appears that Xi Mengze and Qi Guanmingzhu were helping Jinli off the stage.]

[I was there and saw a medical team running towards Jinli _(:з」∠)_]

Jinli, on the other hand, was already a bit tired due to the intense physical exertion.

But after fulfilling the original owner's wish, her body gradually repaired itself, recovering to a state where she was only slightly weaker than a normal person, no longer as frail as before.

So she could have performed for much longer today. The reason she felt tired was because of the high-intensity burst of energy.

But if you take a break, such as doing a few more practice problems during this time, your energy will gradually recover.

It should take about half an hour.

Jinli didn't expect that as soon as she stepped off the stage, while she was still in a daze, she would be surrounded by a group of medical staff.

The stretcher bearers carried her, and the people who helped her supported her.

Jinli shook her head: "No need, I can still walk..."

As a result, her body was held down.

The person holding her down said urgently, "Hurry! Get her onto the stretcher, she's very pale, she's about to faint!"

Jinli: ? ? ?
Jinli struggled to sit up, shaking her head: "No, I really don't need it..."

The people sent by the production team said, "Jinli, don't worry, our medical team is very professional, just relax and lie down!"

Qi Guanmingzhu also said, "Yes, Jinli, you look very pale. I saw that you did several moves on stage that didn't appear in the previous rehearsals. Did you expend too much energy?"

Xi Mengze said gratefully, "Jinli, you're so kind! Lie down quickly. If anything happens to you, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Jinli: ...

No, ladies, even though I look a little pale, I don't look like someone who's about to be sent to the ICU!
I can actually get up; I don't need to lie down!

She wanted to say something more, but when they reached an open area, Jinli noticed that more and more people were gathering around, including many media outlets, with flashes going off everywhere.

Jinli: ...

This time, Shinsha is dead.

To escape reality, she closed her eyes.

She was already very tired, and doing some practice problems could help her regain some energy. Since everyone told her to rest, she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, the medical staff at the scene immediately said anxiously, "Don't crowd around her! She's fainted. Give her plenty of space to breathe!"

"Yes, I'm talking to you! Why are you pushing? Get out of the way! I don't care which media outlet you're from, even if it's a state media outlet, it won't make a difference!"

"Make way! Make way now! Everyone else, make way!"

Seeing this, many media outlets published news reports.

[Shocking! In an effort to help a former friend win the championship, a dancer put on a high-energy performance on stage, only to overexert himself and collapse, requiring emergency hospitalization!]

Jinli is really going all out! Despite her physical condition, she gave a high-energy dance performance to support her old friend!

[A model worker, Jinli pushes herself to the limit for her friend!]

……

Qi Guanmingzhu got into the car with him, leaving Xi Mengze at the show's location to stay until the end.

She thought the stage performance today was great, especially since Jinli added a few more difficult moves on the spot, which was completely unexpected.

She believes that Mengmeng really has a chance to win the championship.

If the real champion isn't there, then the rankings are really hard to predict.

So Mengmeng has to be there!
