Chapter 16

     Except Lu Lanlan, all the others who were summoned into the nightmare forwarded Brother Hu’s Weibo. They dreamed of the same content, even the details matched, so real that it didn’t seem like a dream.

     This incident only caused heated discussions in the fan circles of a few people. In the end, everyone’s attention was all on Wuyou Temple, and a bunch of people were waiting for Brother Hu’s feedback on the talisman.

     On the other hand, Shi Xi still didn’t wait for the notification of “Phantom”, but several TV series offered her olive branches. She ate breakfast while reading the newly received scripts, and then received a reply from Zhang Qingxuan.

     Zhang Qingxuan: 【I was studying a magic book yesterday and was fascinated by it. I didn’t see your message. I’m really sorry. 】

   【My master told me in my dream last night that from today on, you are his third true disciple, and he also gave you a Taoist name called “Qingshi”. The old man was so proud that his beard even stood up, and asked Qingyu and I to call you Junior Sister. 】

   【Early this morning, I was awakened by pilgrims who went up the mountain to burn incense and pray for talismans. They said you recommended them here… I suddenly understood why Master had sent me a dream. 】

     Zhang Qingxuan sent a video. There were about 20 people standing in the courtyard of Wuyou Temple, which was deserted in the past. Many of them were familiar faces that Shi Xi had seen in the program group.

     Zhang Qingxuan: 【Junior sister, I can’t leave now. Are you in a hurry to exorcise the evil spirits? 】

     Shi Xi replied to him: “Brother Qingxuan, please take care of the temple first, and I will handle the exorcism. Last night, I entered the nightmare of the evil spirit and practiced magic. I feel I can handle it.”

     Zhang Qingxuan told her to be careful and ask for help at any time if she has any problems.

     Shi Xi replied “OK”, looked up at Zhang Qingyu who was eating opposite, and showed the chat box: “Junior brother, I have a Taoist name now.”

     Zhang Qingyu opened his eyes wide and read their chat records. His cheeks were bulging with food. He corrected her in a slurred voice: “Junior sister Qingshi, we are ranked according to the order of entry. You should call me senior brother.”

     “God has mercy on us. We have another junior sister in Wuyou Temple,” Zhang Qingyu said with tears in his eyes. he stuffed a bun into his mouth while crying: “It’s great to have a junior sister. There is hope for the revival of Wuyou Temple.”

     Lin Ying looked at Shi Xi thoughtfully: “Dreaming is a good way. Why didn’t I think of such a good seedling…”

     Shi Xi looked at her: “Huh?”

     Lin Ying lowered her head to drink porridge, with a thoughtful look on her face.

     After Shi Xi and Zhang Qingxuan finished discussing, she sent a message to the director of “Boys and Girls Don’t Be Afraid”: “Director, I’ll take the job of exorcising the room escape venue.”

     The director replied immediately: 【You’re going there in person? Is that really okay? 】

     Shi Xi: “Have you seen Da Hu’s Weibo? I’ve already met her in my nightmare last night.”

     【Wait a minute, I’ll ask my friend for his opinion. 】

     After a while, the director replied: 【My friend said it’s okay, but to be on the safe side, he wants to invite two more masters to exorcise the evil spirits together. No matter who drives the evil spirits away in the end, he is willing to pay each of them 50,000 yuan. What do you think? 】

     Shi Xi: “I don’t think it’s necessary to spend more money, but if he insists, I have no objection.”

     The exorcism time was set at 5 pm.

     When Shi Xi arrived at the venue, others were already waiting at the door.

     “Everyone is here. Let me introduce them to you,” the director, as the leader, took the initiative to warm up the place. He patted the young man next to him and said, “This is my friend Feng Qian, who is also the boss here.”

     Feng Qian is much younger than the director. He looks to be in his twenties. He wears a gray T-shirt and shorts. His hair is messy and there are two dark spots under his eyes. He looks like he just woke up. His voice is also hoarse: “I’ll leave this matter to the three masters.”

     The director pointed at Shi Xi again: “This is…” 

     Shi Xi immediately took over his words: “I am Zhang Qing Shi, a humble Daoist from the Worry-Free Temple. I stand by my name and my actions.”

     The system complained to her: 【You changed everything. 】

     Shi Xi replied with her heart: 【How can you make your way in the world without a small vest? 】

     The director saw that she was wearing a hat and mask, without the iconic shovel, and not using her real name, guessing that she didn’t want to reveal her true identity, so he nodded and introduced the other two people: “These two are the disciples Shen Shicheng and Shen Xiaocheng. They are very famous in the metaphysics circle and were recommended by another friend of mine.”

     The two disciples were very tall, carrying a large suitcase in their hands, and dressed very ordinary. Only the gold necklace as thick as the little finger hanging around their necks was very eye-catching.

     The two looked at Shi Xi at the same time, and Shen Shicheng shook his head: “For such a small matter, we brothers can do it. Don’t let this little nun get involved. She is delicate and tender. If we fight later, who will be responsible for her bumps and bumps?”

     Shen Xiaocheng grinned: “Exorcism is not a joke. Little nun, you should rest aside. We will accept your share of the reward. This money is not so easy to earn!”

     He was so unfriendly at the beginning, and it turned out that he was thinking about the reward.

     Shi Xi was forbidden to smile now. Seeing the smirk on Shen Xiaocheng’s face, the bad elements in her body began to stir.

     Shi Xi raised her eyelids, and the cinnabar mole under her eyes made her eyes look particularly cold and beautiful: “Let’s make a bet. Whoever can solve this problem can get all the rewards.”

     If they really have the ability to deal with the female ghost, it would be like indirectly helping Shi Xi complete the task. If not, all the rewards would belong to her, and she would not lose out no matter what the result is.

     Shen Shicheng and Shen Xiaocheng looked at each other. Neither of them took her words seriously, and even showed their joy.

     Shen Shicheng said: “Since you have this request, of course we have to satisfy you. We let you make the first move, so that people won’t say that we are bullying the weak with our numbers.”

     Shi Xi’s eyes darkened: “Are you sure?”

     “Sister, don’t be angry if I tell you the truth,” Shen Xiaocheng showed his big white teeth, his eyes shrewd: “How can a decent person come to exorcise evil spirits empty-handed? You came here today just to take advantage of us brothers.”

     Shen Shicheng shook his head: “What kind of Wuyou Temple is that? I’ve never even heard of it. Even the most insignificant, small Taoist temples are out there scamming people these days. The world is truly going downhill.”

     After hearing this, Zhang Qingyu appeared angrily and said to Shi Xi: 【Junior sister, these two people are too hateful. Wuyou Temple is definitely not a small, insignificant Taoist temple 】

     Shi Xi: “It’s OK as long as you don’t regret this decision. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of Wuyou Temple before. You will definitely be impressed after today.”

     “It’s useless to say harsh words. We are all old hands. We can tell your strength at a glance.” Shen Xiaocheng looked at Feng Qian and said bluntly: “Boss, do you have any objection to our bet? 150,000 yuan is paid in one lump sum, no credit.”

     The meaning of the words seems to be that he is worried that Feng Qian, who is dressed simply, will default on the debt.

     Feng Qian was not annoyed, and lazily gestured “OK”.

     “Then let’s start.” Shen Shicheng and Shen Xiaocheng were confident.

     Shi Xi said in a gentle voice: “Director, Mr. Feng, you should go to the monitoring room to watch, so as not to be targeted by Yin Xie.”

     The director smiled and nodded: “You are still thoughtful. Then we will go to the monitoring room first and wait for your good news.”

     After the director and Feng Qian left, Shi Xi received a call from her agent Lin Wenyi.

     “Shi Xi, you’re in trouble!” Lin Wenyi said anxiously, “Some netizens edited a funny collection of you slapping Lu Lanlan and her fans in the face. As a result, Lu Lanlan’s fans got angry and are now tearing you apart everywhere. Your Weibo comment area is now full of blood and gore.”

     Shi Xi was not surprised at all and said calmly, “Let the bullet fly for a while. I’m working part-time. I’ll talk about it after I finish my work.”

     Lin Wenyi: “What part-time job? Tea artist or monk. You’re not going to explore the ghost again. It’s not dark yet.”

     Shi Xi: “Today is the ghost exorcist master.”

     Lin Wenyi felt intimidated: “Excuse me, you continue, I’ll help you keep an eye on Weibo.”

     Shen Shicheng snorted coldly: “You dare to call yourself a master, the little nun is quite arrogant.”

     Shen Xiaocheng looked around: “The yin energy here is so strong, and you are doing two things at the same time. If you don’t take it seriously, we will have to pay to rescue you when something happens later.”

     “Don’t worry, you won’t be needed.” Shi Xi glanced at them lightly and walked towards the operating room familiarly.

     “I want to see how you can exorcise ghosts with nothing.” The Shen brothers followed.
