071 The King
Director Jia and Lin Ran exchanged contact information, although the matter of the Luo family's mansion has been resolved, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be nothing in the future, of course Director Jia is very happy to make friends with this kind of strange person, not to mention Lin Ran's ability, he has also seen it.
Lin Ran and Jia Dao added WeChat and planned to go back to the small hotel in the town first, since Jia Dao was sure that it was okay, he also planned to start work immediately, and saw a few staff members watching from a short distance, frowning and asking, "What are you doing?" β
The staff hurriedly walked a few steps closer, looked at the direction Lin Ran left, and asked quietly, "Director, is that the exorcist you invited just now?" β
Director Jia raised his eyebrows, Lin Ran had just come to Luo's house on the day he came, and he didn't plan to introduce her to everyone in the crew, so he took her to meet He Wenqian.
"What did He Wenqian say?"
Several people glanced at each other and shook their heads, "How could she tell us, but the exorcist just now taught He Wenqian a lesson yesterday afternoon, and it is estimated that people are still lying down." β
He Wenqian originally brought capital into the group, and her popularity in the crew was not good, and everyone didn't like to take care of her.
The girl with glasses showed Director Jia the scarf she forwarded, "I saw it on the scarf, this person seems to be the one just now." β
It was a video of Lin Ran's sword dance recorded by Xu Ziqian, and there was already a certain amount of retweets on the neck, but it was not hot, the more Director Jia looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, he only knew that Lin Ran was very good at dealing with ghosts, but now that I look at it, people's skills are actually first-class, and they can catch up with those master-level martial arts masters in the industry.
Each director has his own field of expertise, Director Jia is best at the theme of the ancient Republic of China, but he occasionally shoots something else, and now he has a script at hand, which is a martial arts genre, and he has been in preparation, he suddenly has some ideas, maybe if he has a chance in the future, he can also ask Lin Ran to be a martial arts instructor.
Jia Dao silently forwarded this scarf, with the text: Master Lin is indeed a professional.
Director Jia is a big V certification, and many people pay attention to it, and many of these people are directors and actors in the circle, etc., if he is not publicized, he usually doesn't send a scarf, but it is quite surprising that such a line suddenly came.
So this sword dancing video made a small fire on the scarf, but Lin Ran didn't know anything about it.
Although she has a mobile phone, she usually only uses it when she contacts others, and she doesn't like to play like a scarf, and she doesn't even have an account, as for other entertainment software, it's basically the system in use.
When Lin Ran returned to the small hotel, she saw Xiao Muxue teasing the cat with a carton of milk with a wistful expression, it was still the black cat last time, but obviously the black cat didn't like to take care of her this time.
Xiao Muxue was even more frustrated.
Lin Ran coughed lightly twice and said, "It doesn't want to drink milk today, it wants to eat small dried fish." β
Xiao Muxue was stunned, and immediately stood up, "Teacher Lin." β
She didn't know what to call Lin Ran, so she simply called her Teacher Lin along with the policemen.
Lin Ran asked her, "Why are you here alone?" β
Xiao Muxue shook her head and sighed, "They were all detained, the police notified their parents, several uncles and aunts were rushing over from other places, and I don't know what else I can do." β
"Aren't you guys still students? At this time, it shouldn't be the holidays yet, so I'll go straight back to school. β
Xiao Muxue frowned, "But, isn't it good that I'm just leaving......
Lin Ran only thought it was funny, "What's wrong, they're already like this, let alone detained for a month, you still have to stay in Silver Silk Town and wait for them to come out?" β
She shook her head and patted the girl on the shoulder, "You don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you, they are all self-inflicted, you don't know, you don't participate, there's nothing to worry about." β
Xiao Muxue lowered her eyes and was silent, if it was just Ning Yuan, of course she didn't bother to care, but Shen Hao was her boyfriend, and Han Mengmeng was still her best friend, so she always felt like she was too ruthless when she left.
Lin Ran sighed helplessly, "Even if you are affectionate, they have already entered, you can't change anything here, none of us can say what will happen in the future, if they know their mistakes, of course it is the best, but don't be too naΓ―ve when you interact with people in the future, sometimes the Tao is not the same." β
Xiao Muxue didn't know how much she listened, nodded and said, "I know, thank you, Mr. Lin." β
Lin Ran waved her hand and was about to go back to the hotel, but Xiao Muxue stopped her again: "Teacher Lin, can you exchange contact information?" β
After adding Xiao Muxue's WeChat, Lin Ran went back to the hotel and lay down directly on the bed, from the early morning ant riot to the present, she also felt a little tired, but fortunately, the matter was solved.
Lin Ran reported the progress to Yu Jiudao, and Yu Jiudao said two words of encouragement and arranged a new task for her.
This time, the destination is a small coastal village, much more remote than the town of Yinxi, it is said that there seems to be a haunting ghost, some time ago there were people who were dragged into the water, and when they were fished up, they were all shriveled, and there were unknown strangulation marks on their limbs, and the locals did not dare to approach the water's edge now.
Lin Ran frowned, "Senior, I still have something to do here, can you slow down first?" β
Before, she also promised Xie Tiantian to solve the problem of resentment and ghosts for her, but she was busy with the affairs of the Luo family in the past two days and couldn't take care of it, but it is not good to break the trust of others who promised.
Yu Jiudao was silent for a moment and asked, "Is it troublesome?" β
"It's hard to say, after all, I haven't seen what the situation is, if it's easy to solve, it's a matter of minutes, but I can't count what I say now."
Yu Jiudao thought for a while, "That's okay, you are busy with your business first, I will find Ah Xing over to the water ghost, it just so happens that he is close to there now, and it was quite convenient in the past, if you solve the matter in your hand, contact me, and I will arrange other tasks for you." β
"Okay." Lin Ran hung up the phone.
Yu Jiudao's Ah Xing's full name is Ruan Xing, and he is also a member of the Special Intelligence Department.
There is a chat group in the mobile phone sent by the department, but usually everyone is very cold, not much idle talk, at least after Lin Ran joined the group, only Yi Wuji Su Yue and the two said welcome to the newcomer, and the others are all diving. But Lin Ran also turned over the group members and roughly knew the list of group members and the types of things she was good at.
Just like Yi Wuji is good at formations and is a feng shui master, Su Yuehe is proficient in all kinds of electronic equipment, and can combine Taoism with electronic equipment, and this Ruan Xing is actually a fortune teller, and he has a very good set of astrological divination.
Lin Ran really wanted to get to know this person and learn from each other, but the Special Intelligence Department was too busy, and if it wasn't for the overlapping business, it would be difficult for the members of the department to meet together, and the only opportunity was probably the imperial capital gathering before the end of each year.
didn't think about it anymore, Lin Ran called Xie Tiantian directly.
"Master Lin!"
Lin Ran asked her, "How are the past two days, has anything strange happened?" β
"No, Master Lin, the talisman you gave me is very useful, I carry it every day, I never leave my body, I haven't had nightmares in the past two days, and I'm not as unlucky as before, and I've started to work normally." Xie Tiantian's voice was a little relaxed, obviously she had a very peaceful life in the past two days.
"I'll come over tomorrow afternoon to show you what's going on, when you're free, or give me an address, and I'll come by myself."
Xie Tiantian was very pleasantly surprised, "Okay, thank you, Master Lin, I work at the Academy of Fine Arts, and I live in the school's staff apartment, I will spare the afternoon time, just contact me when you come over." β
After making an appointment with Xie Tiantian, Lin Ran bought a ticket from Yinsi Town to the city, and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, she went to the braised meat shop to buy two stewed chickens and ducks, as well as some pork knuckle pastries and fruits to feed Jiao.
Jiao was feasting on the side, Lin Ran looked at it silently for a long time, and when it finished eating everything she brought, and when it came to her, Lin Ran took a tissue and wiped its mouth.
Jiao obediently rested his chin on her lap.
Lin Ran asked it, "Are you going to make a home in Silversilk Town all the time, there are very few of your followers here, and even after a few years, there will be no more, which will not be good for your cultivation." β
Jiao was stunned, flicked his tail and whispered, "I know, but I don't dare to leave...... I used to follow my mother to Silversilk, when I was young, walking through the wilderness and forests, no animal dared to offend us, no human could catch us, and I was not afraid of anything with my mother, but now, nothing is different. β
There are concrete roads everywhere, vegetation is massively reduced, there are cars on the roads, cameras everywhere, and some people have guns in their hands......
It wanted to go, too, but it didn't dare to go, and it didn't know where it was going.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "If you are willing to believe me, follow me, I will take you to the Taoist temple, there is a spiritual eye, it is good for your cultivation, there will be Taoist priests preaching every day, you can also listen to the Tao and enlighten the Tao, I will find a way to erase the horns on your head with a blinding method, so that you are just a black snake in front of people." β
Jiao tilted his head and thought about it, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter, and finally looked at her and said sullenly: "I don't want to have a master myself." β
Jiao is an innate spirit creature, and it has the pride of this race, even if Lin Ran is an exorcist, it will not easily bow its head and become someone else's spirit animal.
Lin Ran laughed, "Don't worry, I can't be your master either." β
Jiao was born free, and she shouldn't be restrained by people, not to mention that Lin Ran thinks that she doesn't have this ability, so that a spirit beast recognizes her as the master.
"I'm just taking you to a place that is relatively more beneficial to you, it's your freedom to do whatever you want, and if you don't want to stay there one day, or want to return to the mountains, I'll take you there."
Lin Ran held out her hand to it, "So do you want to come with me?" β
Jiao hissed lowly, and his body shrank rapidly, until it stopped when it was only the thickness of a finger and wrapped itself around Lin Ran's wrist.
Lin Ran wore short sleeves, and Jiao wrapped around her arm, like a strange bracelet on her hand.
Jiao's body temperature is cold, but it likes to be warm, lazily wrapped around Lin Ran's hand, and spit out the letter comfortably.
Lin Ran scratched its chin, used a trick to cover its shape, and asked it as she went down the mountain, "Do you have a name?" β
"Nope." Jiao stuck out his tongue and said, "In the past, when my mother was here, she just called me Xiaojiao. β
Xiao Jiao...... Sure enough, it's simple and crude.
Lin Ran thought for a while and said, "You grew up in the forest and were born extraordinary, so I will call you extraordinary in the future." β
"Extraordinary, extraordinary......" Jiao muttered the name a few times, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded and said, "I like this name!" Then what should I call you, you don't seem to have told me what your name is. β
"Lin Ran, my name."
Extraordinary half raised his head, elated: "Ranran! β
System: [......] It's really self-cooked, (Ο'Π΄β²) Ο hum!
One person and one Jiao went down the mountain, and Lin Ran pulled the suitcase and went directly to the station.
Probably knowing that Jiao was leaving, the animals in the entire Silversilk Town became restless.
Lin Ran was walking on the road, and heard a rapid and loud birdsong not far away, and when she looked up, she saw many sparrows flying in flocks, hovering in the sky, and she could hear all kinds of insects in the trees, and the nearby cats and dogs were also running in this direction, and the whole station seemed to become noisy all of a sudden.
Sometimes, animals are more sensitive than humans, and there are only a handful of human believers in the mountain gods in Silver Silk Town, but the unspeakable birds and beasts in the town are Jiao's most solid and powerful supporters.
It is the mountain god of the town and the king of these birds and beasts.
Lin Ran raised her hand and smiled slightly: "They are saying goodbye to you." β
Extraordinary straightened up and let out a low chirp into the air, and the birds and beasts screamed even louder, as if they were responding to it.
People came and went near the station, and when they saw such a scene, many people stopped and took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos.
"Look!"
"Where are so many birds?"
"Strange, are they all surrounding that girl?"
The flock of birds hovered above Lin Ran's head, and a few flew very low, flying around Lin Ran, among which there was a particularly bold sparrow, which landed in Lin Ran's palm, and looked at the Jiao on her wrist that was blindfolded, and a cat and dog squatted not far away, staring at Lin Ran's direction.
Many people filmed this scene, and there was a middle-aged man with a single-lens reflex in the crowd who filmed this magical scene.
The sky was blue and cloudless, and the young girl stood on the bustling station, surrounded by all kinds of birds and beasts, with a calm and gentle gaze and a shallow smile on her face.
The middle-aged man is an experienced photographer who has also taken stunning photos and won many awards.
It didn't take long for the birds and beasts to disperse, and Lin Ran also got into the car with her suitcase, and the figure of the young girl was gone, but the crowd was still talking about it.
The middle-aged man looked at the photo in the camera and almost immediately thought of its name.
The King
It was with this photo that he won the grand prize at the photography contest not long after.
