After participating in the metaphysical variety show, I exploded

75 years ago.

The Taoist priest in green robe stood with his hands behind his back on the cliff on the shore.He looks in his 30s, with long eyebrows drawn into his temples, eyes like cold stars, and a stern complexion, looking solemnly at the surging river lapping on the cliff under his feet.

It was raining heavily, and the Taoist priest's Taoist robe was already soaked, but he didn't care.

Behind the Taoist priest stands a four or five-year-old little Taoist boy with pigtails, red lips and white teeth. Anyone who sees him will call him cute.Xiao Daotong was also serious, carrying a copper coin sword that was too long for him, and holding a disc wrapped in yellow cloth in his hand.

About ten steps behind the two, there were several middle-aged men in brocade gowns standing.They were not as calm as Taoist priests and Taoist boys at all, they all shrank their necks and looked timid.There was a servant beside them holding an umbrella for them. The servant was like a drowned chicken, but these rich middle-aged men didn't even get wet at the corners of their clothes.

These people are local rich or landowners.It was they who invited the Taoist priest.

Farther away, a group of ordinary people in plain clothes either wore coir raincoats or bamboo hats, looking at the Taoist priests flying on the cliff with trepidation.

"Is this Qinghe?" The Taoist asked sharply.

"Exactly..." One of the wealthy households trembled, "The river god asks us to present beautiful girls every year, otherwise we will cause trouble. Several boats in my family have capsized. If this continues, the whole family will drink Northwest wind!"

Other wealthy people also nodded in agreement with him.

"The river god capsizes our boats often!"

"A dozen people have already died!"

"Everyone who has a daughter is in a state of panic, and they are all talking about moving out!"

The Taoist priest in green robe waved his long sleeves and snorted coldly.

"What river god!" He said sharply, "As the spirit guarding one side, he doesn't want to benefit the local people, but instead bullies men and women and acts as a dominator, he is clearly a water demon!"

He stretched out a hand to Xiaodaotong: "Get the magic weapon!"

"Yes!" Xiao Daotong lifted the yellow cloth in his hand.Only then did the men see that the dish he was holding in his hand turned out to be a shiny bronze mirror with gossip figures around the smooth mirror.It's just that there is a crack on the back of the bronze mirror for some reason.

The green-robed Taoist priest held the gossip mirror in one hand and the copper coin sword in the other, and shouted loudly.

His voice is like a bell, and his clear voice is still clear even in the loud noise of the river crashing against the bank.The people behind even had to cover their ears, otherwise their ears would be buzzing and thinking.

"As expected of the Daoist Monarch!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

A column of water suddenly rose from the rolling waves of the Qingshui River.

The water column rises from the sky like a dragon, and its shape is like a monster with a body and a dragon's tail.A pair of red eyes stared at the Taoist priest.

Everyone was so frightened that they shivered. What's more, they fell to the ground, or their legs were wet.

They all knew that there lived a river god in Qingshui River, but it was the first time to see the real body of the river god with their own eyes.

"Demon, monster!" someone shouted.

"How could Lord River God look like this!"

"We have been deceived! Damn it, so many people died for this monster!"

"My daughter! My precious daughter was snatched away by the river god, so give my daughter back!"

All the people were crying, and the sound was heard far away on the cliff, and drifted into the ears of the green-robed Taoist priest.

The green-robed Taoist stared at the monster with a dragon's tail, and said sharply: "Monster, look at how you have harmed the people! Today I want you to confess your sins and obey the law!"

After speaking, he held up the bronze mirror in his hand.The mirror burst out with dazzling golden light.

75 years later.

Mei Xiaodao stood on the embankment of the Qinghe River, looking at the sparkling river water under the moonlight, her heart heaved like waves lapping on the river bank.

She wrung her hands uneasily, and every once in a while she looked up at the steps leading to the embankment.Why hasn't that person come yet?

Mei Xiaodao is a native of Qinghe Town.When she was a child, Qinghe Town was just an ordinary town, but in recent years, due to the vigorous development of tourism, it has gradually become a well-known tourist attraction.Mei Xiaodao remembers that when she was a child, there were only fishing boats on the Qinghe River, but now there are cruise boats for tourists, with bright lights on, illuminating the entire Qinghe River.Some large cruise ships also have dining and entertainment facilities, just like a cat floating on the water.

Mei Xiaodao works in an Internet celebrity homestay in the town, and because of the rise of tourism, she can also earn a lot of money every month.She carefully saved half of her salary, hoping to open a homestay of her own one day.

Not long ago, Mei Xiaodao met a man who came to stay at a homestay.His name is Tong Pian, and he is a rich second generation. After graduating from university, he did not go to work, but traveled around, known as a "freelance photographer".

Tong Pian has a handsome appearance, like many "artists" with a ponytail and earrings. At first glance, he looks like a fashionable young man from a big city.

As soon as he saw Mei Xiaodao, he pursued her enthusiastically, claiming that he fell in love with her at first sight.At first, Mei Xiaodao thought he was playing tricks on herself, or just wanted to make a date.After all, Tong Pianran is so rich, but she is just a waiter in a small town homestay, so it's not right for her family!

But Tong Pian has lived in Qinghe Town since then, and visits Mei Xiaodao every day.Or give her expensive gifts, or invite her to go out to play, generous, so that Mei Xiaodao's colleagues are so envious that their eyes are red.

As the saying goes - strong girls are afraid of pestering men.After going back and forth, Mei Xiaodao was also moved by him.

Tong Pian asked Mei Xiaodao to meet by the Qinghe River today.There is a legend circulating in Qinghe Town, it is said that as long as you confess your love to your lover by the Qinghe River under the full moon, the two will be married forever.When the colleagues heard about this, they all congratulated Mei Xiaodao: He must propose to you!You are going to fly on the branch and become a golden phoenix!

It doesn't matter if Mei Xiaodao becomes the Golden Phoenix or not.She just wants to find someone who treats her well and live a peaceful life.

Just when Mei Xiaodao's patience was about to run out, Tong Pian's tall and tall figure appeared on the river embankment steps.Mei Xiaodao hurriedly covered her mouth to hide her smile.

"I'm sorry Xiaodao, I'm late." Tong Pian smiled at her, and that handsome smile immediately made Mei Xiaodao's heart beat wildly.

"No, I came early." Mei Xiaodao blushed.

"Then, in order to express my apology, let me give you a gift to make amends."

As Tong Pian spoke, she took out a dark blue box from her pocket.He turned the direction of the box so that the opening faced Mei Xiaodao, and then opened the lid.

Inside the box lies a golden diamond ring.

Sure enough, as colleagues said, Tong Pian proposed to her!

Mei Xiaodao began to play the melody of "Wedding March" in her head.Although the night was dark, she felt that she was illuminated by the bright sun, and there seemed to be a little Cupid with wings above her head, who was shooting arrows at her heart with a small bow and arrow, making her heart beat wildly, almost jumping out Throat eye.

"Xiaodao, are you willing to marry me?" Tong Pian looked at Mei Xiaodao affectionately.

Do you even need to ask!

"I would like to..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "plop" from the Qingshui River behind him.

Mei Xiaodao was startled, and the second half of the sentence choked in her throat.She thought that someone had fallen into the water, so she hurriedly looked towards the direction of the river, but saw the originally calm river gurgling and splashing, as if it was boiling.

Before it was too late, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water.In the night, Mei Xiaodao couldn't see the real thing, but felt that the thing looked a bit like a human, but the lower body was dragging a long tail...

The thing stretched out its hands, grabbed Mei Xiaodao and Tong Pian's ankles, and its sharp nails dug into the skin.

Mei Xiaodao screamed and was dragged into the water by the shadow.

"Help... help..." Although Mei Xiaodao grew up by the river, she couldn't swim.The cold river water poured into her mouth and nose, and she couldn't breathe.It was as if a weight had fallen from her ankle, dragging her down to the bottom of the river...

Before losing consciousness, Mei Xiaodao suddenly remembered a horror story that the older generation often used to scare children.She had never taken that story seriously, but today she had to believe it.

The one who dragged her into the water...could it be the water monkey?

Mei Xiaodao couldn't continue thinking.She closed her eyes and sank into the dark, lightless bottom.

When leaving the Chenxi media building, Le Qinian received a call from the program team of "Who is Shaman King": The next program needs to stay overnight, and all contestants please pack your bags.

The little eDonkey was damaged, Le Qinian could only send it to the shop for repairs, and then called an online car-hailing car to return to Yan Yu's villa.

Once back in his room he had to put back the things he had just taken out of the suitcase.

While packing up, someone knocked on the door.Le Qinian yelled "Please come in", and heard the door open slightly, and the electric wheelchair drove in.

"Director Yan." Le Qinian turned around with joy, and smiled at Yan Yu, "Is today's shooting going well?"

"Hmm." Yan Yu turned his gaze to the clothes in Le Qinian's hands, "You want to move?"

"No!" Le Qinian hastily clarified, "The next episode of "Who is Shaman King" is going to be filmed in another place, and I have to stay outside overnight, so I packed my luggage."

After packing his clothes, he picked up the Ultraman again, wondering whether he should take it with him or put it in the villa.

"You leave Teacher Manshan behind." Yan Yu said, "I happened to take Teacher Manshan to the set, and asked her to guide the script."

Le Qinian originally wanted to say that he had secretly brought Ultraman into the set every day before, but finally decided to keep silent and put Ultraman back next to the shrine.

Ultraman dragged his voice: "Hey, can you ask for my opinion first?"

"Mr. Manshan, are you going on a business trip with me, or are you staying to watch the house?" Le Qinian asked.

"Housekeeping." Altman said decisively.

"...Then it's all right?"

In fact, the so-called "guiding the script" is just an excuse for Yan Yu. Does his script need someone else's guidance?Even if the original author comes, he can still adapt it as he wants, and no one can hinder his will.

He kept Ultraman for another reason entirely.

The next day, Yan Yu asked Steward Li to send Le Qi to the meeting place designated by the "Who is the Shaman King" program group.After watching Cullinan, who was carrying the young man, go away, he immediately turned around and drove to Le Qinian's room in a wheelchair.

Altman doesn't need to sleep, he is lying in front of Le Qinian's laptop in the posture of a salted fish, watching a recently hit web drama.

"Are you going to the set?" Altman heard the sound of the wheelchair, and a salted fish jumped up.

Yan Yu picked it up and put it on his lap.Ultraman immediately pretended to be an ordinary figure.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Manshan," Yan Yu said in a casual tone on purpose, as if he was not looking for any information, but asked casually, "You have been with Xiao Le for so long, you must know him very well, right?"

"Isn't it!" Altman puffed out his chest proudly, "I know all his account passwords!"

...that really makes sense.

Yan Yu continued to ask: "Then have you ever heard of a very strange thing - Le Qinian was married and widowed?"

"Oh, you said that! Of course I've heard of it!"

Yan Yu took a deep breath and asked slowly, "That must be a rumor, right?"

"It's true!" Altman said lightly.

Yan Yu's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he subconsciously grabbed Ultraman's body.

"Ah, take it easy!" Altman screamed.

Yan Yu let go of its body and looked gloomily into the figurine's eyes: "Did Teacher Manshan make a mistake?"

"I heard him admit it himself, is this still fake?" Altman stretched his waist, which was almost broken just now.

"……what?"

"A paparazzi once came to secretly take pictures of him. I snatched the paparazzi's memory card for him. The paparazzi took a lot of photos of him and you!" Altman recalled the situation at that time, and said in a nostalgic tone, " He deleted all the photos of you in the same frame, saying that his wife would be jealous if she saw it. I asked him where his wife was. He said she was dead."

Yan Yu's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Le Qinian's widowhood...it's actually true.

Is the tattoo on his leg in memory of his dead wife? "Ying", is his wife's name?

Yan Yu originally thought that "Ying" was just Le Qinian's ex-girlfriend.Since the two broke up, it means that there must be irreconcilable conflicts between them.Yan Yu is fully confident in defeating that girl and winning Le Qinian's heart.

But if "Ying" is his dead wife...how can the living win over the dead?

The dead never change.Memories beautify everything.No matter how hard Yan Yu tried, it was impossible to replace that person's position in Le Qinian's heart.

Thinking of this, it was as if a dark flame was ignited in his chest, trying to burn everything and destroy everything.And maddened with jealousy at the same time.Why didn't he meet Le Qinian first?

Altman didn't understand Yan Yu's thoughts at all, and was still fanning the flames beside him: "Unexpectedly, Xiao Le is also a love interest! Do you think so? Huh? How did you leave? Didn't you mean to take me to the set? Hey, come back ! This man doesn’t care what he says!”

On that day, all the cast and crew of "Death You Don't Know" could feel the strong low pressure emanating from the director.

The actors were all trembling, fearing that their poor performance would annoy the director.The two leading actors even took the initiative to ask Yan Yu if they could do it again after their excellent performance.

The staff are walking on eggshells.They were originally worried that Manshan's undead would retaliate if the movie was not made well, but now they had to be on guard against Yan Yu's evil physique at all times.This job is too difficult, when will the movie be finished...

The rest of the contestants in "Who is the Shaman King" also received a notice from the program team in advance, and learned that the next competition will have to sleep out for a night.When Le Qinian arrived at the meeting place, he saw everyone dragging their suitcases. He didn't look like a contestant on a reality show, but he really wanted to build a company tour group.

"Brother Xiaole!"

Jin Piaopiao and Jin Miaomiao ran over bouncingly.

"Are you alright?" Le Qinian asked.

After rescuing the two girls from the robbery cave, Le Qinian handed them over to the program staff and sent them to the village for treatment.Le Qinian was not very clear about the follow-up situation of the two of them, because he himself was also admitted to the hospital.

"We're fine now!" Jin Piaopiao said happily, "Brother Xiaole, how about you? I saw on TV that you were hospitalized, and the leader came to condolence you!"

"I'm fine, I'm healthy now!" Le Qinian bent one arm, doing Popeye.

"Great!" Little Loli hugged Le Qinian's arm by herself.Le Qinian seemed to have turned into a humanoid merry-go-round, being pulled around in circles by the two of them.

"The two of you had an accident, and your family still agreed with you to participate in the competition?" Le Qinian was a little surprised.He thought that the parents of the twins would put their children's safety first and quit the competition after going through the burglary.

"It is our own decision to participate in the competition! No one can stop us!" Jin Piaopiao was full of momentum.

"Miaomiao and sister are here for the championship, and they will never give up until the end!" Jin Miaomiao is also very persistent.

Le Qinian didn't know what to say.It should be gratifying that the twins have such fighting spirit, but this reality show has had too many accidents so far, and it is too dangerous for them two minors to participate.I don't know what my parents think...

But thinking about it from another angle, the two of them are girls who can manipulate Gu King.Once a Gu master of this level makes up his mind, how can ordinary people stop it?

I just hope that Gu King can protect them.

"By the way, I saw the advertisement made by the two of you." Le Qinian smiled and rubbed the heads of the two little girls, "It's amazing, you can make money at such a young age!"

The twins were filled with glory by him.

"Hmm! Miaomiao and her sister are going to make a lot of money!" Jin Miaomiao was elated.

"And get the bonus of "Who is Shaman King"!" Jin Piaopiao clenched her fists.

"Why did you two fall into the eyes of money at such a young age?" Jun Xiuyan walked over and stared at the twins, as if a big brother was teaching an innocent little sister.

"What's wrong with liking money?" Jin Piaopiao pouted.

"Brother Xiaojun's family must be very rich, and he doesn't understand the suffering of the poor." Jin Miaomiao shook his head in shock, as if Jun Xiuyan was a playboy who didn't know the suffering of the people.

"You..." Jun Xiuyan didn't expect that one day he would be speechless by two little lolitas.

He winked at Le Qinian, hoping that he would say a few words for him.Coke Qi Nian just blinked his eyes, and asked in an innocent tone: "Did you come here specially to see us off? You are so kind! Misty, let's get in the car. Goodbye, friend Jun! We will bring you special products !"

"I'm a guest! Didn't you see that I also have a suitcase?!"

"I didn't know that, I thought you were on vacation at university..."

Jun Xiuyan's anger was not in one place.He didn't intend to mix "Who is Shaman King", but the director personally came to the door and asked him to appear as a guest, and his grandfather wanted him to continue to monitor Le Qinian, so he reluctantly came to participate.

A group of people boarded the bus.Jun Xiuyan and Le Qinian crowded into the same row of seats.

"Hey, I asked Grandpa about what you asked me to inquire about last time." Jun Xiuyan said in a low voice.

Le Qinian put away his smile, and asked seriously: "What was the result?"

Jun Xiuyan recalled what his grandfather said to him at that time. "As far as I can remember, I have never heard of anyone who owns the Xuanqing Bagua Mirror. I don't know if Niyun, the master of the great country, never passed it on to his descendants, or the descendants accidentally lost it during the inheritance process. After all, it has been 700 years In the past, many records were scattered in history, and sometimes we may not know the real situation in history..."

After repeating what Grandpa said, Jun Xiuyan concluded: "Grandpa doesn't need to lie to me. If Jun Niyun passed the gossip mirror to the descendants, it is likely that it was lost later. It's just that it's not honorable, so it didn't stay. Record."

Le Qi Nian pondered.It's also possible...

A golden head popped out from behind their seats: "Did I hear you guys discussing the Xuanqing Eight Diagrams Mirror?"

Jun Xiuyan turned his head and stared at the blond exorcist: "It's none of your business! Overhearing people talking, beware of sore ears!"

Vincenzo took a malicious look at Le Qinian.The latter shivered and pretended not to notice his gaze.Ever since Vincenzo lifted his vest, Le Qinian felt a little stomach ache when he saw him.Why do you always show him that "we have a common little secret~" smile!Creepy!

In order to avoid social interaction, Le Qinian put an anti-motion sickness sign on himself and pretended to sleep.Jun Xiuyan and Vincenzo bickered back and forth, the chirping sound turned into hypnotic white noise, and finally Le Qinian really fell asleep.

When they woke up, they had already arrived in Qinghe Town.

Compared with Bishui Town, this town has a more modern atmosphere. Although there are antique Jiangnan traditional buildings, there are also modern high-rise buildings.

A group of people got out of the car and found that the bus stopped in front of a theater.On the huge poster in front of the theater, several men and women in gorgeous ancient costumes are painted, and below it is a huge title-"Qinghe Love" large-scale song and dance performance.

"Are we here...to travel?" Jun Xiuyan asked first.

"Xiao Jun, you asked a good question!" The host Chu Gui stepped forward with a smile on his face, "For this competition, we came to the beautiful Qinghe Town. Soon there were strange rumors—there were water monkeys living in the Qinghe River, and they would attack passers-by by the river. This strange rumor made the tourists panic, and they were afraid of Qinghe Town, so the town’s tourism industry went from bad to worse. "Who Is Tong All contestants of Spirit King, your mission today is to find the legendary water monkey and restore peace to Qinghe Town!"

The contestants looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone had expressions of bewilderment or dumbfounding.

"Even children know that there are no water monkeys in the world..." Jin Piaopiao muttered.

Vincenzo pondered: "Could it be that the real task of this competition is not 'finding water monkeys', but 'proving that water monkeys don't exist'?"

To Vincenzo's question, Chu Gui did not answer directly, but smiled meaningfully: "If it can be proved that the water monkey is purely non-existent, tourists and the people of Qinghe Town will feel more at ease, right?"

All the contestants understood the deep meaning of his words: This program turned out to be "Approaching Science"!

This is also the reason why Jian Yidao decided to come to Qinghe Town.Filming other content said that we are not positive enough, now we are filming "Into Science", is it positive enough?

"This episode of the program is sponsored by Lubo Culture and Tourism Company. Let us welcome Lubo's manager Sui! He will serve as a judge to judge the performance of the contestants. The program team will combine his opinions and online popularity votes to decide who will advance!"

Chu Gui clapped his hands.

A potbellied, "extremely smart" man walked out of the Cultural Theater, smiling and waving to everyone.When he saw Zheng Zhaoyu in the crowd, his smile became brighter.And when his eyes fell on Le Qinian, his eyes gradually became cold.

Le Qinian couldn't help frowning when he saw Manager Sui.

After two days of not seeing each other, Manager Sui's official salary palace became more and more gloomy.Lubo Company...is this going to end?
