The morning light was dim, and the air was filled with the moist fragrance of grass and wood. Tall poplar trees were distributed on both sides of the mountain road, like loyal guards guarding the pedestrians on the road. All kinds of strange sounds came from the forest: birds singing, insects chirping and fragmented human voices blended together into a vibrant forest sonata.

Lingxuzi walked on the mountain road and turned sideways to introduce his own sect to Le Jing: "If we talk about the most famous tourist attraction in our Tianzhou City, it is our Qingyun Mountain Thunder Gate. Our Thunder Gate was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and the founder of the sect was Zixiao Zhenren..."

This old man is 88 years old, but his body is still very strong. Le Jing estimated that he had been walking for half an hour, and the old man was still full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue. However, the physical fitness of a cultivator should not be taken lightly.

At this time, Le Jing and his party were on the way to the Thunder Gate. The Thunder Gate is located on the top of Qingyun Mountain and is a sect of cultivation that his ancestors once had.

Le Jing came here for the library of the Thunder Gate. He exchanged the three cultivation techniques in the store for the qualification to read and copy in the internal library.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination, the Thunder Gate, under the leadership of Lingxuzi.

The Taoist temple is large in scale, stretching for several miles across the entire mountain. The roof is flat and far-reaching, the doors and windows are simple and unadorned, and the overall style is solemn and generous, which is a typical Tang Dynasty architectural style.

"Shangxian, look, this is our Thunder Gate." Lingxuzi pointed to the three characters of "Thunder Gate" engraved on the majestic mountain gate of his own family, "This is written by the founder of the sect, Zixiao Zhenren."

Since yesterday, Le Jing didn't know how many times he had corrected Lingxuzi that he was not a senior or a god. Unfortunately, it had little effect, so he had to give up.

The little Taoist boy guarding the gate saw his head leading two people climbing up the welcoming ladder from a distance. The two people were strangers. One was an elegant young man holding a black cat, and the other was a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes. He could not tell the cultivation level of the two. What surprised him secretly was the respectful attitude of the headmaster towards them, which could almost be called humble. Their headmaster was of high seniority, old, and had deep cultivation. Not to mention in their sect, even in other sects, he was an ancestor worshipped by people. He had never seen the headmaster treat other people so humbly and respectfully, not to mention these two young people.

When they approached, he was even more shocked when he heard the headmaster's voice of "Shangxian" again and again. He secretly looked at the young faces of the two people. Could they be the immortals who will never grow old in TV dramas?

Lingxuzi turned his head and saw the little Taoist boy guarding the gate looking around furtively. He waved at him unhappily: "Come here, haven't you seen the immortal yet?"

The little Taoist boy ran over, looking at the two strange visitors curiously with his big eyes as bright as glass: "Are you really immortals?" The little guy was wearing a loose Taoist robe, his face was chubby and had baby fat, his eyes were round and big, and he was particularly cute.

Le Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am just a human, not an immortal. Your leader misunderstood."

Lingxuzi said firmly: "You are not now, you will return to the immortal world sooner or later." The young man's golden light of merit was shining brightly. Wuliang Tianzun, if such people can't become immortals, what kind of Taoism do they practice?

In Lingxuzi's view, Le Jing was a certain immortal in the sky who was bored in the immortal world, so he reincarnated into the human world to play. Such immortals can't stay in the human world for too long. Before he goes back, he wants to get closer to him. If he can get the protection of their sect from this immortal, he will wake up with laughter in his dreams.

Lingxuzi looked at the deserted mountain gate and frowned. In fact, he was wondering before he went up the mountain. Their Lei Ting Sect is a famous Taoist temple in the local area. There are hundreds of tourists and believers who come to visit and burn incense every day. But today there are only two or three tourists, which looks particularly weird.

"Why are there so few people today?" He asked the little Taoist boy.

"Master, you forgot." The little Taoist boy replied: "The crew rented our Taoist temple a few days ago to shoot a movie."

Lingxuzi slapped his forehead suddenly: "Yes, I forgot." At that time, the crew said that they would rent it for two weeks. He thought that the time was not long and the rent was considerable, so he agreed without hesitation.

Le Jing joined the topic with interest: "Filming? What kind of drama?"

Lingxuzi thought hard: "I heard from the director that it seems to be a serious drama that reflects how Taoists of our generation make difficult choices between faith and emotion in a modern society where material desires are rampant, and fully reflects the multifaceted nature of human nature."

The little Taoist boy curled his lips and said frankly: "In fact, it is about a domineering Taoist priest falling in love with a troublesome little goblin."

Le Jing: ... As expected.

Lingxuzi pondered for a while and understood a little: "Is it similar to the Legend of the White Snake, but Xu Xian is replaced by a Taoist priest."

The little Taoist boy said faintly: "It's different. Now it's not popular for women to chase men and flood Jinshan. What's popular now is forcing the domineering president to force love."

Lingxuzi: "...Why do you know so much?"

The little Taoist boy put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Because I am a fashionable and cute post-10s, hehe."

Lingxuzi: One or two, why are you so out of tune!

He hit the kid hard on the forehead and said disdainfully: "Go out and play, don't be an eyesore here."

The little Taoist boy stuck out his tongue and said, "Luan Luo Luo!" Before Lingxuzi could make another move, he covered his head and ran away as fast as he could.

Lingxuzi shook his head dumbfounded and looked at Le Jing: "Shangxian, shall I take you around the sect?"

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

In the quiet Taoist temple, albizia trees are blooming one after another. Pieces of bright red swayed in the wind, shining like clouds, like burning clouds falling from the sky. It looked spectacular and beautiful.

Under the acacia tree, a pair of bright-looking men and women stood.

Men are beautiful. Fox eyes, peach blossom face. The face is like a crown of jade, the lips are like smeared with red, and the eyes seem to be covered with a layer of mist, hiding countless unspoken words. He stared sadly at the woman opposite and said softly: "We are from two worlds and it is impossible to be together."

Women are not the traditional image of beauty. She has high cheekbones, a square chin, angular facial features, and her brows are as handsome as any man's. She is a high-end face that is very popular these days. She was wearing a black robe, and her expression was as cold and hard as a glacier that has not melted for thousands of years. She raised her eyebrows when she heard the man's question, "Yes, I'm glad you finally realized this."

man:……? ? ?

The woman raised her chin, her expression finally stained with a layer of exhaustion and helplessness. She sighed and said, "I have no illusions about you at all. I know you are stupid, frivolous, and empty-minded, but I love you. I know your intentions. , your ideals, you are snobbish and vulgar, but I love you.”

She looked at the man standing there blankly, with a hint of doting and resigned helplessness in her eyes, and her voice was as low as a whisper: "I know you are a second-rate thing, but I love you. ①"

"My whole life, I have fallen on you."

The man slowly turned red and shouted angrily at the woman: "Get out!!!"

"Card!"

Director Liang Lunchen shouted excitedly: "Perfect!" He played back the footage on the monitor, and the more he watched it, the more satisfied he became. This TV series about an anti-traditional domineering female Taoist priest falling in love with a torturous male goblin will definitely become a hit!

Sensing the approach of the recorder, he turned around and said, "Let Si Nan prepare. The next scene will start in ten minutes!"

The clerk's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he cautiously said: "...Si Nan, you're not here."

"What?" Liang Lunchen almost jumped up: "Where has he gone?!"

The reporter was indignant: "He thought the accommodation conditions here were not good and the lunch boxes were unpalatable, so he went down the mountain to stay in a hotel last night."

Although he was angry at Si Nan for making his own decisions, business was the most important thing at this time. Liang Lunchen barely suppressed his temper and said, "Tell him not to come back if he can't come back within an hour!"

"Even if he wanted to come back, he wouldn't be able to come back in time." The reporter tugged at the corner of his mouth and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "He got into a car accident while racing on the way here, and now he is lying in the hospital, and he hasn't woken up yet. "

Liang Lunchen was speechless.

Si Nan doesn't have many scenes, but his role in the plot is very important. He plays the heroine's master, a character with great magic skills who eventually died as a martyr. It's easy to gain fans once this role is played, but at the same time, the requirements for actors are relatively high.

He couldn't help but hate Si Nan even more. It's already here, where can he find a rescue actor?

At such a critical moment, Yin Guxiao stood up bravely: "Director! What do you think of my senior brother?" She excitedly tugged on her senior brother's sleeves: "Look, isn't he very charming? , very compassionate to the world?”

Liang Lunchen glanced at You Nan critically.

The appearance is okay, but the temperament is a bit old-fashioned and he seems to be unable to hold the scene, which does not fit the role of the leader.

Yin Guxiao had the rare savvy to see the disgust on Liang Lunchen's expression, and immediately patted his chest and said: "We don't have many sects, but we have many Taoists! There are various types for you to choose from, and there will always be one that will satisfy you!"

When she said this, Liang Lunchen was really moved. He has also seen the Taoist priests who came to act as extras from the Thunder Sect. They were handsome men and women, with outstanding temperaments. It was obvious at a glance that they were serious Taoists. He might as well choose someone in the Thunder Gate to save him.

He raised his head inadvertently and happened to see a group of people passing by the peach blossom forest.

The young man holding the cat in the middle glanced in his direction casually, his eyes indifferent and cold, as if nothing in this world could enter his eyes. The young man quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward steadily, with firm steps, as if he was walking on a predetermined path.

This sight made goosebumps all over his body. Every cell in his body was screaming at him: It's him! It's him! Except for him, no one can be the master of the heroine!

This is the true immortal style!

He has never seen such a unique temperament in the entertainment industry! He was sure that as long as this young man entered the entertainment industry, even if he had no acting skills, as long as he stood there silently, countless fans would go crazy for him!

"Wait a minute!" He frantically pushed aside the crowd on the set and shouted loudly: "That young man holding the cat in front of you, please wait a minute!"

Le Jing stopped and looked back at the handsome middle-aged man who was running towards him in a hurry, with a habitual smile on his face: "Are you looking for me?"

His smile diluted the coldness in his bones, and he immediately changed from an immortal immortal to a gentle and elegant scholar who was well versed in poetry.

Liang Lunchen gasped, this young man's temperament has changed too much! This will give him many more ways to play!

He has found a treasure!

"Sir!" He managed to calm down his excitement and showed a friendly smile: "My name is Liang Lunchen, and I am the director of the crew next door. What is your occupation?"

Le Jing inexplicably: "Bookstore owner."

"It's like this, our crew is currently missing a supporting role, and I think your temperament and appearance are very suitable for the role setting. I wonder if you are interested in acting?"

Le Jing: ...? ? ?

Yin Guxiao stared at the immortal man talking to the director not far away in amazement... Bah, immortal, and quickly used her own senior brother as a shield and hid behind him.

She looked at the noble and cold immortal in the distance, with golden light protecting her body, and she was sad for a while, and she couldn't stop.

Howoldareyou?

Why is it always you?

She has hidden in the mountains, how can she still meet the protagonist of her own dark history? !

The author has something to say:

①Excerpt from a passage in Maugham's "The Veil"

The full text is: "I have no illusions about you. I know you are stupid, frivolous, and empty-headed, but I love you. I know your intentions, your ideals, you are snobbish and vulgar, but I love you. I know you are a second-rate person, but I love you. I try my best to appreciate the things you are passionate about, and I take great pains to show you that I am not ignorant, vulgar, gossipy, and stupid. I know that wisdom will shock you, so I am cautious in everything and must act like a fool like any man you are dating. I know that you are marrying me only for your own selfishness. I love you so much that I don't care. As far as I know, people are in love. When a man loves someone and his love is not reciprocated, he often feels sad and disappointed, and then becomes angry and bitter. I am not like that. I never expected you to love me, I never imagined that you had any reason to love me, and I never thought that I was lovable. For me, I should be grateful for the opportunity to love you. Whenever I think that you are happy with me, whenever I see joy in your eyes, I am ecstatic. I try to keep my love within the limit of not boring you, otherwise I know that I cannot bear the consequences. I always pay attention to your expression, and if you show any clues of boredom, I change my way. A husband's rights are a blessing to me."
