Metaphysics, from getting started to giving up

Chapter 48

Xuanzhe, Xuanyuan also.

Among the five factions of mountain, medicine, life, divination, and phase, mountain road is the longest in actual combat and formation.

Although in today's era, due to the serious loss of spiritual energy, it has completely entered the Dharma-ending era when the spiritual energy is cut off, and a group of Xuan sects and Taoists who were originally opposed to each other have formed a unified Taoist association, but in fact, only the titles are unified.

The mystical arts and Taoism under the Taoist sects stationed in various regions still maintain the state before the establishment of the Taoist Association, and have not tended to be homogeneous.

Jindu Daomen is good at fate and physiognomy, while Yaodu Daomen is proficient in mountain and medical methods. The materials prepared by the sect are far more abundant than Jindu Daomen.

The trunk of the car that Fu Haixing drove was equipped with a lot of materials and equipment from the Daomen of the Demon City, ranging from small talismans to large evil utensils.

Under Fu Shiqiao's eager leadership, Zhou Yi ignored Fu Haixing's hostile gaze, which seemed to be genuinely hostile, and calmly rummaged through the trunk to find what he needed.

After midnight, Zhou Yi, Xie Qianchou, Ye Minglang, and the Fu family brothers and sisters quietly came to the rooftop of the hotel, ready to make a move.

Zhou Yi took out a bamboo tube found in the trunk, unscrewed the plug, and poured the white lime-like dust inside into the open space on the roof. There is no wind tonight, and I am not afraid that the wind will blow the dust away. .

He drew one Dao pattern after another.

Xie Qianchou and Ye Minglang looked at each other, and stood next to the Fu brothers and sisters, vaguely surrounding them.

"What do you two mean?" Fu Haixing's expression darkened.

Ye Minglang laughed: "Hey, you monsters are too cold in the middle of the night, I'm so cold, let's help each other!" He said and stuck it on Fu Haixing's body.

Fu Haixing was immediately disgusted and had goosebumps all over his body.

Xie Qianchou kept watching Zhou Yi who painted the array.

The relationship between Jindu Daomen and Yaodu Daomen has dropped to freezing point because of Shen Du, and the two sides are afraid of each other.Although Zhou Yi expressed his wish to help the Taoist sect of Yaodu get rid of the evil that leaned over the chief "Shen Du", but from Fu Haixing's previous attitude... Although I don't know why Fu Haixing is so hostile to Zhou Yi, but Xie Qianchou was still a little worried that the other party would take advantage of Zhou Yi's formation to avenge his personal revenge and hinder Zhou Yi.

He couldn't help but feel frustrated again. If he was a little stronger, wouldn't he have to follow him all the time like now, and would never have a chance to stand side by side with him?

And Zhou Yi, who was using the white sand in the bamboo tube to paint the array, couldn't help frowning.

In the age of the end of the Dharma, the aura is thin, so apart from relying on objects such as white sand and sapphire that already contain aura to assist in performing spells, you can only work hard on the Dao pattern.Just like turning two gears, if there is no big gear in the middle to act as a link, then there are only countless small gears to arrange complex maintenance to drive the gears.

He has drawn more than 70 Dao patterns.

Even a talented warlock with superb skills like Zhou Yi felt a little bit of difficulty.

What he drew was an exorcism array.

After the last bit of white sand fell down and the Dao pattern was completely drawn, Zhou Yi took out another piece of earth fire talisman.After igniting the talisman with a spell, he threw the talisman that was burning with a non-heated flame to the starting position of the exorcism dao pattern.

Immediately, the fire spread rapidly as if it had encountered oil, and the exorcism array was ignited in an instant!

Standing in the heatless white flames, Zhou Yi squinted at his feet.He had asked Huang He to buy the show manager and got Shen Du's room number.Now, three floors below Bai Yan is Shen Du's room.

"What the hell is Zhou Zhou doing? This fire...shouldn't burn him?" Seeing Zhou Yi standing in the fire formation, Fu Shiqiao couldn't help worrying.

Ye Minglang scratched the back of his head: "Dalao's intentions are beyond our guess."

at this time!

The white flame that seemed hot at first glance but actually had no temperature, and even had a hint of cold air moved.The fire rose rapidly, engulfing Zhou Yi's entire body in an instant!Xie Qianchou's face changed, and while Ye Minglang and the others were still exclaiming, he wanted to rush into the scene of fire and pull Zhou Yi out.

It doesn't matter even if Jindu Daomen and Yaodu Daomen are completely hostile, he doesn't want to see Zhou Yi suffer any harm because of Shen Du.

just.

Before Xie Qianchou could step into the fire, Zhou Yi who was standing inside suddenly stepped back.He was caught off guard and was almost knocked to the ground by Zhou Yi.

"What's the matter? Didn't I say at the beginning, no matter what happens in the middle, don't step into the range of my formation." Zhou Yi was a little upset.

Xie Qianchou lowered his head: "I'm just... a little worried about you."

"Don't worry about me. What you really need to worry about should be the original Shendu, right? The exorcism formation composed of earth fire and white flames failed to force that thing out... Tsk, it really has a thousand years of practice, and it is almost mature. "

"..." Xie Qianchou stopped talking, Zhou Yi was overconfident and powerful, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Although he knew that Zhou Yi didn't need his help, Xie Qianchou still hoped that Zhou Yi could rely on him more or less—although Xie Qianchou had always had the upper hand in terms of status and status, but they got along well when they got along. However, he still couldn't hold his head up in front of Zhou Yi, and was overwhelmed by Zhou Yi who was too strong.

Fu Shiqiao and Ye Minglang hurried over and said in unison: "Zhou Zhou/Dalao, what's going on?"

Zhou Yi shook his head, staring coldly at the burning white flame gradually extinguished, and finally disappeared without a trace.

"Things are a little tricky," he said.

This is the most difficult enemy that Zhou Yi has encountered since his rebirth in modern times.

***

Inside the hotel.

Shen Du raised his eyes, looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully, as if his eyes had passed through the thick wall and met the people outside the wall.

He lowered his raised hand, and a black air scattered in all directions was gradually absorbed into his palm.

"Exorcism array...Jianyuan, I am in your heart, it seems that I am no different from ordinary evil..."

He squinted his eyes slightly, but he didn't know that Zhou Yi had already guessed his true identity.

"It seems that I have to let you recall the past first."

The black air was lingering, and Shen Du hooked the corners of his lips, letting the black air that had extinguished the ground fire and white flames burst out from the door of the room, and slipped to other rooms.

The black air itself is as thin as a cicada's wing, and has an indeterminate shape, and the wooden door that is not completely closed can't stop them at all.The black air slipped into the room, and most of the rooms in this hotel were reserved by the crew. It was already late at night, and the crew members in the room had already fallen asleep.

In the room of the photographer and the prop master, there are countless cameras, lighting boards, and special props needed for shooting exterior scenes.

The black air diffused, covered the equipment, and completely melted into the equipment in an instant.

The surfaces of the instruments were darker, as if they were covered with a colorless and transparent protective film, isolating everything.

***

The exorcism formation formed by the ground fire and white flames was destroyed by Shen Du, and it did not exert its original effect at all, driving the resentful soul of the prince out of Shen Du's body.

On the second day, Zhou Yi's complexion was a little ugly. This was the first time he failed in his mission.

Fu Haixing naturally sneered at him. Although Xie Qianchou helped him ridicule him back, and Fu Shiqiao also turned his elbow outward, pulling his brother back to make him shut up, but Zhou Yi's innermost feelings The waves are magnificent but no one knows.

The Daoist inheritance of Jinshanmen and several years of being an extremely personable minister made Zhou Yi's self-confidence inflated to the extreme. Even when Xie Qianchou was dying, he was conceited that he could handle everything, and he didn't even think about it. Telling Xie Qianchou who was the person involved was too anxious when Xie Qianchou lost contact with him at the very beginning.

Zhou Yi knew that he had such an arrogance, but he was overconfident and never thought that he would fail one day, so he never corrected his attitude.

Even in terms of acting skills, he didn't think about whether he would be incapable one day.

Although I think a lot in my heart, I still have to do what I should do every day.

Zhou Yi, while acting opposite the heroine on the stage, thought to himself: Maybe, he has to get serious about the hidden dangers attached to his inflated self-esteem, otherwise it will lead to a catastrophe sooner or later.

The disastrous situation that Jinshanmen's sect was cut off, and even the school's resident can't be kept now, has actually sounded the alarm for him, but Zhou Yi deliberately ignored it.

He was so confident that he was conceited.

"Cut!" The director suddenly yelled with a loudspeaker.

Zhou Yi was startled, the crew was filming the part where Zhou Jianyuan, the national teacher, fell in love with the heroine Jin Rui, and personally combed her hair. The heroine's wig is ripped off.

The field recorder hurriedly hit the field record board.

"Zhou Yi, why are you a little out of shape today? The hair combing scene can be NG. Those who see the scene know that you are combing her hair, but those who only watch you may think that you are carving stone."

The director's complexion was a bit grim. He didn't like the heroine of the vase, and he didn't like the airborne Shendu. The entire cast was optimistic about Zhou Yi, a rookie with excellent acting skills.Now Zhou Yi is distracted because he is thinking about other things, and his performance is not good, which inevitably makes him a little disappointed.

"I've always heard from colleagues who have worked with you that you have a bright future, and your face is full of traffic, but you have a heart. Why, now you want to try to be a pure traffic?"

Zhou Yi hurriedly bowed to the director: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for delaying the shooting progress."

The director shook his head: "Forget it...you're young, it's normal for you to make mistakes, I'm the one who is strict. Let's go ahead, play the record, start over again."

After apologizing to the actress who was so ripped off that she almost burst into tears, Zhou Yi regained her composure and returned to filming.

Off set.

Zhou Yi was rushing to catch up with the filming on the set, while Xie Qianchou and others stood on the periphery just like yesterday, observing the situation on set together with other crew members.

Fu Shiqiao stared at the director indignantly: "Zhou Zhou is still a rookie! His acting skills are good enough, so the director must be too harsh! That Xiao Hua NGed so many times before, and I never saw him swearing!"

Ye Minglang persuaded her: "Hey! Your boss is not just a trafficker for showing off. It is a good thing that the director has requirements for his acting skills. It shows that the director treats your boss as a serious actor."

"That's right, obviously you can rely on your face to make a living, but Zhou Zhou needs talent," Fu Shiqiao hugged her chest, but still felt a little uneasy, "But it's still very annoying!"

Ye Minglang felt that this girl had a tendency to develop into an irrational fan, so he hurriedly took a step back in fright.

Xie Qianchou, who had been paying attention to Zhou Yi, frowned.

Although he doesn't have an intuitive concept of acting, he can barely distinguish between those who have acting skills and those who don't. Zhou Yi really messed up this episode.

Zhou Yi was obviously distracted.

Xie Qianchou pursed his lips, his first reaction was that Zhou Yi was still thinking about the failure of the exorcism array last night.He was a little ashamed. Although Zhou Yi was a member of the Mysterious School, he was after all a descendant of a hermit family and had nothing to do with Jindu Daomen.At the very beginning, it was obvious that he was the one who pestered Zhou Yi first and insisted on helping him, but in the end, it was Zhou Yi who was always helping him and Jindu Daomen.

He lowered his eyes, feeling a little gloomy in his heart.

It seems that something, like obsession, is sprouting and taking root.

He had an illusion in a trance, as if he and Zhou Yi had known each other for a long time, and at that time, Zhou Yi was helping him all the time, and he could only look up to each other silently.

Xie Qianchou couldn't help thinking about what happened at Jinshan Gate: Although Zhou Yi kept telling him afterwards that he was approached by evil spirits, and he was bewitched by evil spirits, so he made some inexplicable actions.But Xie Qianchou actually has a little impression of what he has done.

For example, when he kissed Zhou Yi, it was really out of his heart.

Another example, that nightmare... Xie Qianchou knew that there was a voice roaring in his heart: those things were not hallucinations at all!They all happened in reality.

Although there are discrepancies in the names and taboos, he will never forget Zhou Yi's face.The white-clothed youth named Jianyuan in the nightmare is indeed Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi just died in front of him, but he didn't do anything, he could only touch him desperately——

Then, nothing happened.

Here, Ye Minglang and Fu Shiqiao have been discussing for a long time whether high demands and high expectations are a good thing for her master.

Fu Haixing was on the sidelines, and Ye Minglang and Fu Shiqiao immediately turned on him with the same enemy, and caught Fu Haixing for another long time.

After teasing Fu Haixing, Ye Minglang realized that his Taoist junior was also distracted just like Zhou Yi on the field.

He scratched his head at the speed of light, feeling a little embarrassed.

These two people obviously look sticky, and look like they are already together in love, but...

Although Ye Minglang has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run away, and has written a pile of novels, so he can be regarded as a master of theoreticalism.

Between Zhou Yi and Xie Qianchou, in fact, there is still a deep gap and gap.

One side is too self-confident to take control of the situation, while the other side is too low self-esteem.

Originally, Xie Qianchou could still help Zhou Yi in performing arts, but when Zhou Yi's status got higher and higher, the gap between the two of them would be widened without limit.

It's like a stress ball, when the pressure hits a peak, it's --

With a bang, it exploded completely.

"Oh my god, Xie Qianchou won't turn black..." Ye Minglang was inexplicably terrified.
