The handsome man in the entertainment industry

Thing. "

Xiao Xiao shook her head.

"The five-village cemetery is too weird and dangerous. Now we can't guarantee that there are no other hidden dangers in the tomb, and we don't have enough room for archaeological excavation. Even if the robbery cave is blocked, there is no guarantee that no one who knows will go to this place again. The idea of ​​building an ancient tomb. Moreover, all the people in the village committed suicide overnight. If this news spreads, it will cause a great shock to public opinion..."

He saw that the young man sitting opposite was still frowning, as if he couldn't let go, and he added: "And we will send people to guard around the formation. Visitors will properly 'instill' some necessary information to them, although it cannot change the fact that more than 100 villagers have died, but at least it can reduce the spiritual pain of the living Xijia villagers."

Ruan Mudeng didn't answer, just bowed his head in silence, as if he was still thinking about what Xiao Xiao said just now.

For a while, no one spoke again.

The two sat in silence for a while, before Ruan Mudeng raised his head, and the man who was older than him said, "Then... my memory... don't you want me to forget it?"

Xiao Xiao didn't seem to expect him to ask this question, her peach blossom eyes widened, she was dumb for a moment, then she suddenly laughed for some unknown reason, and asked instead: "What about you? What are your plans for the future?"

Ruan Mudeng thought to himself, when you "patched" me, he would become an injured person who was involved in a car accident when he was on location with the film crew. He had forgotten all about these things, so what else could he "plan"?

So he replied honestly: "Let's find another job as a martial artist or group performer..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao laughed even happier. He stood up, walked around the sofa, and walked in front of Ruan Mudeng a few steps, put his hands on the other's shoulders familiarly, patted him hard, and smiled into two crescent moons.

"In that case, would you like to learn something from me?"

He emphasized the word "ability" and winked slyly at the young man.

"I'm very good, and there's food and lodging included here, and I can continue filming. Isn't it more promising than you as a martial artist?"

Chapter 11, Two, Red and White Shuangsha 01

After that day, Ruan Mudeng returned to the low-rent house he temporarily rented, packed up his meager luggage, checked out the room, and stayed at Xiao Xiao's house.

Then he soon discovered that Xiao Xiao's so-called "follow him to learn skills", in fact, the purpose should be to find himself a long-term worker who is in charge of cooking, laundry and tidying up the house. An app that is very suspicious from its icon to its content began to learn some basic techniques by itself.

In the past, Ruan Mudeng came to City A almost empty-handed, relying on his income as a group performer and martial artist to make ends meet, so he was extremely tight, so naturally he couldn't afford an expensive mobile phone.

His previous mobile phone was second-hand five or six years ago. It was so worn out. Apart from answering calls and sending and receiving text messages, he could only play match-[-] games. In the past, a girl asked him to exchange WeChat and Weibo on the set. What, he replied that when he didn't need these, the other party would show a very shocked expression, looking at him as if he saw a primitive man living in Zhoukoudian.

The mobile phone Xiao Xiao gave him was obviously a new high-end product, exactly the same as the one he picked up for Xiao Xiao who had turned into a fox in Xijia Village that day, except that the color of the mobile phone case was a much more restrained and calm pure black.

The mobile phone needs to swipe the fingerprint to enter the desktop. There is an APP called "Start to be a Taoist today"*. The name is not a serious program, but when he clicks on it, he finds that the content is far more than he imagined. Much richer.

"Click on the column 'Introduction to Taoism' and learn according to what is written there."

Xiao Xiao waved her hand at Ruan Mudeng, "You can read the books in the study as you please, if there is something you don't understand in the tutorial, you can go to the study to look it up."

After finishing speaking, he showed the other party a bright smile like a spring flower, and said a very irresponsible sentence: "You are so smart, there is absolutely no problem."

So Ruan Mudeng began to take care of Xiao Xiao's daily life, and to learn "Tao" by himself.

Xiao Xiao's residence is a duplex on the top floor of a high-rise commercial building in a high-end community. The upper and lower floors have a total construction area of ​​40 square meters. There are three big, three small and six rooms, and a rooftop garden of more than [-] square meters.

Ruan Mudeng was surprised at first that such a large house was actually only lived in by the owner, but also felt very extravagant.

After the young man moved in, he was arranged by the owner in the guest bedroom next to the master bedroom on the first floor, which was the room where he slept on the first day.

In addition to the master bedroom and the guest bedroom, there is a smaller room on the first floor, which is located next to the kitchen, and is used by Xiao Xiao as a utility room, filled with many messy things.

The two rooms on the second floor, one large and one small near the spiral escalator, are used as study rooms with a rich collection of books. Ruan Mudeng once spent most of the day doing a rough inventory and found that the number of books is nearly [-], many It is still a thread-bound book or even a handwritten copy that looks very old at first glance.

Next to the smaller study room is another room, there is only a wall between the two, opened by Xiao Xiao, there is a door that can pass through directly.

The layout of that room was very strange, with a desk and an incense burner inside, and a few rows of shelves beside the wall, filled with all kinds of magic tools such as sand trays, compasses, bells, copper coins, gossip, as well as sandalwood, chicken, etc. Throat, graphite, cinnabar, red nitrate, stone, snake slough, yellow paper and other materials.

"This room is for you to practice spells."

When Xiao Xiao led Ruan Mudeng to visit the house, he pointed to the things in the room and said, "Of course, when you learn spells such as lighting fire and falling thunder, you will definitely not be able to stay indoors. You have to go to the rooftop, but you It’s just a rookie stage of getting started, and it’s enough to use what’s in it.”

Ruan Mudeng couldn't help asking at the time: "It's fire and thunder on the rooftop, regardless of whether it will cause a fire alarm or not, aren't you afraid of being noticed by other residents in the community?"

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Xiao smirked, "Even if you light up the roof, they won't be able to see it."

So from then on, except for the one-hour morning exercise that Ruan Mudeng started at 05:30 every morning, the place where he usually stays most often is the small study and the practice room next door.

He followed the introductory tutorial in the APP and learned a little bit.

The young man has a bright mind and a superb memory, and he has long been accustomed to reading traditional Chinese characters and awkward classical Chinese. Moreover, because he has practiced martial arts since childhood, his family's martial arts internal skills are almost the same as the use of breath in Taoism. , he thought it was very difficult to learn Taoism, but he mastered it very quickly.

He opened his wisdom eyes within two days, and spent another three days mastering the method of phase qi and identifying yin and yang. On the seventh day, Ruan Mudeng had memorized all the scriptures and mantras in the introductory tutorial. Every day, he spends time in his small study, repeatedly practicing the drawing methods of 21 basic spells of Panax notoginseng.

It happened to be the weekend, Xiao Xiao found out with conscience, and finally remembered his cheap apprentice, so he wandered into the study, asked Ruan Mudeng about his study progress, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Very Well, practice hard, after you have mastered all the spells and used them freely, then ask me for the password for the advanced chapter."

After speaking, he took a step back, looked the young man up and down twice from head to toe, and from foot to head, then suddenly changed the subject: "Do you still want to make movies?"

Ruan Mudeng was taken aback.

What he actually wants is not to make a movie, but compared to staying here and dealing with yellow paper and cinnabar every day like now, it is true that entering the crew and traveling around to make movies is more hopeful to find his long-lost brother, and if he can get out of it a little bit He is famous, maybe his brother will be able to see his news, so he took the initiative to find him.

So he gave a soft "um", expressing that he really wanted to make a movie.

"very good."

Xiao Xiao smiled even more happily. He raised his hand and patted his apprentice on the shoulder, "Go to the supermarket to buy more good ingredients. We are cooking hot pot tonight, and there are distinguished guests coming."

&&&&&&&&&

Six thirty in the evening.

Ruan Mudeng was standing in front of the counter in the kitchen, cleaning the beef louvers with a small brush. There were already cleaned vegetables and mushrooms on the side, and a large pot of fragrant beef bone broth was still simmering on the stove. .

Outside the kitchen, Xiao Xiao and his guest were sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking in a deliberately low voice.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this jar."

Xiao Xiao played with a clay pot in her hand over and over again, and said to the person sitting beside her.

The clay pot was about the size of a fist, and the blue-black oil paint on the surface had faded and peeled off in many places, revealing the original gray-yellow color of the underlying pottery mud—it was the one held in the hand of the scorched corpse of the crew director Zheng Jinxiu.

"Oh?"

The person who came was Bai Yiming, the star of the new double talent actor. At this time, he was crossing his legs and leaning on the sofa in a leisurely posture. The pair of deep eyes behind the rimless glasses had a soft smile, and he obviously had a very good relationship with Xiao Xiao. look.

"Mr. Gu conducted an investigation and said that this jar is made of Mongolian rough pottery. All the 'things' inside have indeed been released, and the jar itself is fine."

"Well……"

Xiao Xiao turned the clay pot over and showed Bai Yiming the bottom of the pot. There was a rough depression on the top, like an irregular crescent. "Look at this, do you think it looks like a yin-yang fish?"
