Chapter 45: Kinship (Part 2)

July 18, 2023Ai Hrist

Taoist Jun Hong, who never let outsiders enter the mountain, made an exception and allowed him to enter the temple to recuperate because of his fate as a good man in the ninth generation.

When Gu Zhisang saw Yan Huishan for the first time, he hadn’t reached her shoulder yet.

The little boy has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and she can already see the warmth in his childishness. Due to illness, he wore a fur coat in spring, with a sick face, and red ears while respectfully paying her respect.

“This little one greets Master Gu, I’m sorry to disturb you.”

In the next few years, she spent most of her time in seclusion. Every time she went out, the sickly boy grew taller;

In the end, he grew up to be a handsome young man who was unique in the world.

Perhaps because of the fate of a good man of the ninth generation, Yan Huishan was the worst-tempered and softest-eared person Gu Zhisang has ever seen. Anyone who rarely comes out of the mountain will be deceived.

Whenever he returned to the mountain, he would bring her and Taoist Jun Hong the hard-to-buy palace jade liquid, all kinds of weird but expensive magical instruments and decorations… …

Gu Zhisang also dreamed many times that when she went out of seclusion, the first thing she will see was a young man with smiling eyes;

Then he will say in a warm voice: ‘Master Gu, congratulations.”

The end of the dream was the time of her tribulation.

The sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a thunderbolt with the power to destroy the sky and the earth fell. This time, Gu Zhisang finally saw the situation just before her death.

Under the lightning light that was so bright that people could be temporarily blinded, she saw a figure in the distance, running towards the center of the thunder disaster desperately.

The moment she saw Yan Huishan’s face clearly, she opened her eyes suddenly and sat up after a while.

The white jade finger bone on the head of the bed was still glowing with a faint white light, Gu Zhisang looked at the severed bone with complicated emotions.

Looking at the past from a third perspective in the dream, she noticed some details that she had never paid attention to before.

At this moment, the sky was bright outside the window. She picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and looked at it, and found that the staff of “Spiritual Affairs” had sent her the script and shooting location of the fifth issue.

To prevent herself from thinking about this dream again, Gu Zhisang got up and began to read the script, and then packed her luggage.

The next afternoon, she got on the plane to the shooting location.

At 7:50 in the morning, the “Spiritual Affair” program team prepared the preparations before the live broadcast in an orderly manner, checking the equipment and network.

Because the online peak of the last live broadcast exceeded 8 million, the official edited version of the follow-up two hours also ranked first on the variety show hot list.

“The network of the players’ live broadcast room must be smooth!”

“Hurry up and take this baffle away, is the private message channel open?”

Among the hustle and bustle, only three minutes left before the live broadcast started.

People in the director’s team were a little nervous looking at the dark monitor screen. The assistant director kept rubbing his trouser legs and said: “Do you think the number of people break through 500,000 within five minutes of broadcasting?”

The producer said: “It’s possible. The last time it was more than 400,000, I predict it will break 700,000 this time!”

“It’s a bit too much, no one got up early in the morning.”

While chatting, Li Chenghe didn’t speak, but just stared at the screen.

When eight o’clock arrived on time, the cameras of the live broadcast rooms of the seven contestants turned on at the same time. The moment the screen lit up, the number of people in each live broadcast room began to increase rapidly.

[The broadcast finally started!]

[I’m here to look at Sangsang, my wife to solve the case and catch ghosts. Can this issue be a little more exciting?]

Among the densely packed comments, there were also some gloomy comments, and the ghosts in the underworld who were watching the show were equally excited.

Just five minutes after opening, the total number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded one million. This statistic made the directors who were mentally prepared couldn’t help but tremble and blushed with excitement.

The assistant director suppressed his excitement: “Gu Zhisang’s data is still the best, half of the audience has flowed into her live broadcast room!”

Gu Zhisang in the lounge greeted the audience in the live broadcast room, and when the number of people came in, she said:

“Good morning to all viewers. The interactive part of this program is still one-on-one divination. After 2 minutes, I will open the random selection. Viewers who are interested in participating in the interaction can click ‘Participate’.”

Outside the live broadcast room, in a studio on the top floor of a certain building

An old man in a Chinese tunic suit with gray hair and a beard packed up the magic weapon, while looking at the only person in the empty room and said:

“Mr. Yan, the evil spirit in your body is becoming more and more difficult to control. At present, I can only help you suppress it to prevent it from getting out of control. If this continues, the situation will not be optimistic.”

The old man said, but he looked at the person with a trace of fear in his eyes.

A young man was sitting in the main seat of the office. He was propping up the table with his hands at this time, showing forbearance.

In the eyes of the old man, thick black air lingered on this person’s body, and the tumbling and puffing almost swallowed him whole.

If it weren’t for knowing that this person was in a special situation and his identity was very special, he and the Taoist Sect behind him would have been killed as culprits long ago!

The old man continued: “2 days ago, a white jade finger bone that can purify evil spirits appeared. If you can get it, it may be able to alleviate the evil spirits in your body.”

“I will help you inquire about its source and try to buy it from the owner.”

“Money is not a problem.” The young man raised his head and said coldly: “Then I will trouble Master Xu.”

When he was the only one left in the entire office area, his brows were slightly wrinkled due to the torment of the evil spirit, and the air pressure in his body was extremely low.

The next moment, the phone on the table rang.

He glanced at the screen, and a pop-up window popped up: [The anchor you follow starts broadcasting~]

Yan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the date and time, he remembered that today was the start of the new episode of “Spiritual Affairs”, so he hurriedly opened the software.

After entering the live broadcast room, a face with exquisite eyebrows and eyes appeared on the screen, “…the time left to participate in one minute or so.”

A ‘Participate’ button popped up, and he clicked it twice in a hurry. After confirming the click, his throat rolled, and he clenched his fist unconsciously.

Time passed by every minute, and Yan Cheng’s heartbeat became a little faster.

When contestant No. 7 in the live broadcast room spoke again: “The draw is over, is the audience who participated in this interaction nicknamed ‘Milk Tea Crispy Bobo’ there? Can you communicate with me?”

Hearing that it was not him, Yan Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, there was a trace of sadness in his brows and eyes.

*

Three seconds after Gu Zhisang read out his nickname, a netizen with a pink and tender face spoke on the mic: “Sangsang, I am here, I am ‘Milk Tea Crispy Bobo’, I am watching the live broadcast at home, you can directly open the video.”

Listening to the voice, the other party was a young and gentle girl.
