It was close to the early hours of the morning, and the rooms on all floors of the rental building were locked, and it seemed very quiet.

'Bang bang. ’

The sound of footsteps falling on the stairs rang out.

"Why is it so slow?"

Zhang Xueming stood at the top of the stairs, raised her head and asked as she turned around.

Then, she watched Lu Zhengyi walk down the stairs slowly, and next to her, there was a young man she had never seen.

"What is this?"

Zhang Xueming looked at the young man suspiciously.

There are a lot of people in the crew of the First Commandment, and she can't recognize every one of them.

But there are not many people who often wander around Lu Zhengyi as a civet cat, and she basically knows everything.

But who is this man?

Lu Zhengyi was about to open his mouth to explain.

But after thinking for a while, he still walked downstairs and came to her side, and then said softly, "He is Wang Xiaoxu." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Xueming was stunned for a moment.

Wang Xiaoxu?!

She is no stranger to this name.

Lu Zhengyi knew other people in front of her, and then hooked their souls away from him, although she couldn't see them at that time.

Can you see it now?

Zhang Xueming unconsciously reached out and grabbed Lu Zhengyi's arm, but her eyes were staring at people without blinking.

This...... Ghosts don't seem to be any different from people, right?

Two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

"Hello, Manager Zhang." Wang Xiaoxu bent down slightly and greeted politely, "I am Wang Xiaoxu, that is the ...... Do you remember Ah Hua's friends? It's the idiot who worked for a month and took half a month off. ”

"Here, I apologize to you on his behalf."

"He's that person, it's just spoiled by his family, but he is still self-motivated, I hope you can be more tolerant and understanding."

This tone is like a son who worries about his own ignorance and offends the company's leaders.

He even reached out to shake hands.

This is the big boss he didn't even have a chance to see when he was alive.

"Hello, hello."

Zhang Xueming hesitated and stretched out her palm, "I remember him, tolerance and understanding must be there, but if he wants to stay in the company, it depends on his own ability." ”

As she spoke, her hand touched Wang Xiaoxu's hand.

Immediately after, through it.

In an instant, Zhang Xueming's face froze.

A chill went directly down the arm from the palm of the hand and rushed straight to the brain, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect, or if there was really such a coldness.

……

……

"So, that's not actually Mr. Liang? It's ......"

There was hesitation in Xu Feng's voice, "The real Chu people's beauty? ”

As soon as Lu Zhengyi returned to the hotel, he was surrounded by a group of people and entered the room.

As soon as the big guy entered the house, he kept staring at Wang Xiaoxu.

As for the ...... Afraid?

No, not at all.

A group of people were grinning, staring at Wang Xiaoxu as if they were looking at monkeys.

There was no fear and panic about the ghosts when I first photographed the old corpse in the mountain village.

"That's right."

Lu Zhengyi sat helplessly on the sofa, his hand running the cat's hair, "After all, that is the expression of fear in Xiaoxu's heart, that is the Chu Renmei in his heart, and the character in the old corpse in the mountain village." Instead, the actor we know Mr. Liang. ”

Because there was no place in the room to stand anymore.

Compared with the last time, the B&B when filming in Xiaxi Village, the rooms in this hotel are much smaller.

Everyone else lives in standard rooms, one bedroom plus a separate bathroom.

Even if he is a director, he will entertain other people in the crew from time to time, and the suite he lives in is one more living room than others.

Nearly thirty people entered the room, and the living room was almost full.

Some people don't even have a place to sit, so they can only stand against the wall.

"Awesome, Wang...... Brother Wang. ”

Zhang Yuming stood close to the balcony and gave a thumbs up, "So, our crew now has a top special effects artist?" ”

Originally, out of respect for the deceased, he wanted to call Brother Wang.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that people are younger than themselves, so they can only change their words and call them Brother Wang.

And when this sentence was asked, everyone in the crew stared at Wang Xiaoxu.

This made Wang Xiaoxu, who has always been a trick and cannon fodder, a little embarrassed whether he was living or working, and stood there with a red face and scratched his head.

"Yes, a perfect special effects artist."

Lu Zhengyi also set his sights on Wang Xiaoxu.

What is the concept of being able to construct an illusion based on one's inner thoughts, and that the illusion can be captured by the camera?

Filming science fiction films, you can directly construct a future person who is wrapped in metal and steel and has a sense of science and technology.

Filming Xianxia films, you can build an immortal who flies with a sword,

Making Horror Movies......

Compared to letting a person perform, Chu Renmei, who was dug directly from the fear in his heart, has said it all.

"I'm already looking forward to seeing our new special effects."

Applejack leans against the wall with her hands on her chest, smiling maliciously.

The others laughed when they heard this.

"Speaking of which, what is there about the special effects that need to be used in this play?"

"That's a lot, then."

"Hey, it's over, I find that I seem to be getting more and more like Director Lu, but I like this feeling."

In this crowded room, everyone in the plum cat crew is full of joy and anticipation.

This made Zhang Xueming and Yu Li, who were temporarily 'outsiders', a little unaccustomed.

Honestly, for a ...... Ghost.

From the cognition of ordinary people, it is something that should be feared.

Especially Zhang Xueming, she shook hands with others just now, but that hand passed through directly, and her heart was half cold.

But now the attitude of others.

And they felt as if they were ...... Nothing to be afraid of?

After all, Wang Xiaoxu still has a personal appearance.

didn't say it, the seven orifices bleed, the facial features were distorted or something.

"But this ability seems to be a bit similar to our stone statue."

The ability of this illusion reminded Chang Zhengwei of the stone statue commonly used in the boot ceremony.

If you don't make offerings, the stone statue will give you a glimpse of what you fear.

"There's still a difference."

Xiaowei shook her head, "Isn't that the premise that there is no offering, so you can see it?" And it can't be controlled autonomously. ”

"The ability of the stone statue is mainly to exorcise evil spirits."

"Brother Wang's ability is more free."

She learned from Zhang Yuming and called people 'Little Brother Wang.' ’

"Huh? Exorcism? ”

Wang Xiaoxu asked in a trance.

What stone statues?

When it was turned on that day, was that faceless stone statue?

Huh?

"Probably because you're a good person, you weren't driven away."

Lu Zhengyi saw what was in his heart and opened his mouth to explain.

"As a good soul, there is no evil spirit in you."

And the mountain viewing Taoist in the corner also interjected at the right time, "Even spiritual creatures will not reject you." No, it should be said that you are treated equally. If you make him angry first, it is inevitable that he will also have emotions towards you. ”

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong lay on Lu Zhengyi's lap and nodded.

"Huh? Spirits? ”

Wang Xiaoxu looked at the little black cat even more blankly.

At most, he thought that this black cat looked very spiritual.

But now that they say that, it's like...... This cat is not a simple thing?

And with Wang Xiaoxu at a loss, there are also Yu Li and Zhang Xueming.

The two of them were sitting on the same sofa as Lu Zhengyi, and at this time, both of them were a little overwhelmed to watch the rest of the crew talking, and from time to time, they listened to some words that only existed in the gods and ghosts.

A stone statue to ward off evil spirits? Evil?

Good souls? Spirits?

Do those myths and legends that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day really exist?

"Wait, Director Lu, there will be more ...... in the crew in the future. We? ”

But soon, Yu Li realized a problem.

If you can make special effects directly through illusions, do you need actors?

Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming, who were still looking forward to it, smiled and paused.

"Of course."

Lu Zhengyi turned his head a little helplessly, looked at Yu Li on the other end of the sofa through Zhang Xueming in the middle, "Xiaoxu's ability is just to show his inner thoughts, just a tangible and godless picture." ”

But at this point, he realized another problem.

However, he didn't bring it up for the time being, and continued, "And Xiaoxu can only illusion one person at most, and there is no way to make illusions of many people for the time being, and there is no way to change the environment." ”

"So what you fear, that might be replaced by an illusion, is impossible."

"Xiaoxu's personal ability, there is no way to arrange a whole play."

Yes, for the time being.

Compared to when the first commandment was turned on, I introduced them to the air.

Lu Zhengyi officially let them know Wang Xiaoxu this time.

Soon, the plum civet cat crew finished a small meeting and began to leave.

They were still in a hurry to go back for supper.

Zhang Xueming also went back, and today was the first time she 'touched' a ghost in the real sense.

Even if you know it for a long time, the world is not what it seems.

But it will take a while for her to get used to it.

All of a sudden, only Lu Zhengyi and Guanshan Daoren were left in the crowded room, as well as Wang Xiaoxu.

Oh yes, and there's a little black cat with squinting eyes, probably asleep.

"So, what's going on?"

The mountain watcher sat down and asked in a deep voice, "I didn't stare at it for a while, how did it become like this?" ”

He didn't know what happened to Wang Xiaoxu from an invisible and untouchable ghost to what he is now.

“…… Can you please stop asking such embarrassing questions. ”

Wang Xiaoxu said weakly.

He didn't want to almost become a voyeur and make it public.

Just now, when he saw Yu Li again, he was still a little stunned.

It's no longer like facing an idol, it's a bit like ...... The feeling of seeing an ex-girlfriend, and it's still the kind of person I'm sorry for.

I don't want to see it, I don't dare to see it.

"No way!"

The Mountain Guandao man shook his head, "What happened in this process, although you don't have any evil qi in you, but ...... How did you grow so fast. ”

"He's survived."

Lu Zhengyi looked at Wang Xiaoxu and kept signaling his eyes, and explained euphemistically.

"Robbery?"

The Taoist of the Mountain Gate asked rhetorically, "Thunder Tribulation? ”

When it comes to tribulation, as a Taoist who pursues the path of immortals, his first reaction is thunder tribulation.

Lu Zhengyi glanced at Wang Xiaoxu, who was already flushed, and replied hesitantly, "It's a love robbery." ”

"Love?"

The mountain watcher asked in disbelief, "Just survive a catastrophe, can there be such a big change?" ”

Ever since he learned about this in the car, he has been a little uneasy.

Why is it growing so fast?

It wasn't the first time he'd seen a ghost.

In addition to the previous Liang Meijuan, I had seen it earlier.

Most of the ghosts only exist for a short time after they have been separated from the body, like ...... Illusions, even some people are unconscious after becoming ghosts.

In this process, some people with higher spirituality, such as children, can see them.

But then, they will quickly dissipate and return to heaven and earth.

This is the saying in the Taoist Palace.

And the yin soul that can exist for a long time, except for Wang Xiaoxu in front of him, Liang Meijuan before, and the people who watched the mountain once before.

That was when he had not yet grown up, and his master had gotten rid of a ghast in front of him.

But the difficulty of these ghosts' cultivation seems to be much easier than that of these cultivators?

"A robbery, Dao Chief."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him strangely, "In your Dao Palace's statement, is a calamity so easy?" ”

"Anyway, just this catastrophe that Wang Xiaoxu experienced, put it on me."

"Uh...... I didn't necessarily choose the right path. ”

If he had just died in his previous life, he would have suffered a catastrophe like Wang Xiaoxu.

Most of the time, he can't control it.

“…… What happens if you can't get it? ”

The Taoist of the Mountain Gate hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Will you die?" No, is it supposed to dissipate? ”

People are already dead, and if they die again, they should be scattered.

"No, it's just a different road."

Lu Zhengyi replied.

And Wang Xiaoxu, who was particularly embarrassed because the two of them discussed his humiliating things, pricked up his ears and sounded.

It happened too suddenly.

After waking up, he saw Lu Zhengyi, and then he had his own superpowers. ’

He hadn't had time to think about what would have happened if he hadn't restrained himself and walked through that door.

"If you choose the wrong one, will you become a ghast?"

The mountain watcher continued to ask.

Looking at Wang Xiaoxu like this, it should be the right choice.

If you choose the wrong one, will you become like Liang Meijuan?

"Dao Chief, I feel that I have a conflict with your thoughts, obviously I thought the two of us were very compatible before." Lu Zhengyi was a little helpless, "Your ancient law is not the current reason, it really fits my thoughts." ”

"But now I think we're different."

"Do you think that there is good and evil in this world for heaven and earth? If He had been conscious, should he have seen good and evil from that perspective? ”

The mountain watcher fell silent.

After a while, he suddenly spoke, his tone a little complicated, "I always feel that you guys seem to know more than I do." ”

"It's only in your twenties, why do you know so many things?"

"Although I have read about the robbery in ancient books, I don't dare to say it so conclusively."

There are fewer and fewer mysteries in this world.

Whether it is a cultivator, or a so-called spiritual creature or a yin spirit.

And in the same way, knowledge is decreasing.

Those things that have been handed down from ancient times, whether they are useful or not, whether it is him or others in the Dao Palace, there is no guarantee.

But the other party can say so sure, and he knows!

On the sofa, Lu Zhengyi gave Xiao Zhongyong a follower of his hair, but did not respond immediately.

In the room, it was quiet.

Even Wang Xiaoxu unconsciously stiffened his body and closed his mouth tightly.

The Taoist did not urge, just sat there, waiting for an answer.

As for the difference between good and evil.

Actually, he can understand.

But understanding does not mean being transparent.

This is probably the so-called ideological misunderstanding and cognitive limitations.

Man cannot really look at things from all angles, just as he is wrong to look at those who may destroy the peaceful environment as a person who seeks stability.

But what if it's the other way around?

For those who do not want peace, but want the world to be warmer and break the solidification, they are wrong.

People can understand it, but they can't be completely transparent.

"I remember that there is a saying in your Taoist palace, which is called, 'Seek the inside first, then the outside.'" ”

Lu Zhengyi was quiet for a while, and finally spoke.

"You have to observe yourself, your body, your heart, your thoughts."

"When you know enough about your body and heart, you can unswervingly pursue external changes."

"I have a feeling that you may not be so determined now, and that's my fault. The way you are now, and what I saw at the beginning, is actually a change. ”

When these few words were spoken, the mountain watcher who was still waiting for an answer with a serious face paused.

……

……

"That's right."

The woman in the nurse's uniform led the way in front and explained in a low voice, "We are a public nursing home here, and many elderly people in the society who do not have children to support, or whose children have not fulfilled their maintenance obligations, will be sent here." ”

"And some time ago, an old lady on this floor died of illness."

"The old lady loved to watch TV when she was alive, and she sat in that rocking chair."

She said as she pointed to the rocking chair next to the bed in the ward.

"And since she died, the TV has been turned on by itself every night, and no one has flipped the switch!"

The little nurse nervously explained, "Everyone said that the old lady's ghost is still here. ”

"Originally, the old people who lived on this floor didn't dare to live, so they all moved upstairs."

"But this is a public nursing home, and we can't really leave this floor empty, so we called."

After receiving a call from the liaison officer, Li Guoqiang and Huang Yaozu, who hurried over to the nursing home, stood at the door, observing the situation inside.

It's a very ordinary ward, and it looks a little old.

"Where's the switch?"

Huang Yaozu glanced at him, and hesitated to ask the nurse next to him.

"Over there."

The little nurse hurriedly replied.

"Click."

And at this moment, Bai Wei slapped the clapperboard.

All the shots of the lake came to an abrupt end.

"Is this all there is to it?"

On the set, some people looked a little dazed.

They didn't understand why they didn't keep filming.

According to Lu Zhengyi's previous shooting techniques, he always pursued long shots to the greatest extent, not to say, always storyboards.

"That's all for now, let's go eat first."

Bai Wei greeted them with a smile, "Director Lu said, I'll give you a half-day off today." ”

"So good?"

"Wow, please have a supper last night, and today I will give you half a day off, long live Director Lu."

"And what's next?"

The staff present, including the supporting role of the little nurse just now, were a little dazed.

So good?

In this kind of filming time, Director Lu, who has always been strict with him, actually gave them a holiday?

"There are so many of us here."

Bai Wei waved his hand.

Next to him, Ajie in charge of the props team and Wei Kang in the photography team...... also walked over slowly, cooperating with him to start 'clearing the field.' ’

During the whole process, Lu Zhengyi didn't say anything behind the monitor, silently waiting for the others to leave.

Soon, with the cooperation of the rest of the crew, the number of people on the set was reduced by half.

"Next, it's up to you."

Lu Zhengyi looked at Wang Xiaoxu, who showed his body with an illusion.

Originally, this part of the plot was not in today's shooting plan for the time being.

But because of Wang Xiaoxu's ability, he temporarily turned the camera to the front and tried to pat it first.

"Come on, Brother Wang."

Wei Kang raised his hand in the distance and said.

He, the leader of the photography team, personally went on the stage and began to adjust the camera position.

"Brother Wang, do you need to prepare this rocking chair?"

The props are also being prepared.

"No, no, it should be possible to project it together."

As the first official work, Wang Xiaoxu looked a little nervous.

"First of all, it's this old lady sitting in a chair."

Next to him, as the leader of the post-production team, Xu Feng held a tablet and explained to him, "She is sitting in this seat, and when Li Guoqiang finishes observing the photos of her before her death, you will let her suddenly appear in the camera, and cut into the lens by shaking the chair." ”

"Uh-huh."

Wang Xiaoxu replied absentmindedly, staring at the place where the illusion should come out later.

Immediately after, an old lady rocking a chair appeared.

And his own illusion slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

But......

"Huh?"

The others looked at the old lady who suddenly appeared with bewildered expressions.

The rocking chair is right, the picture is right, the old lady is wrong.

Zhang Yuming, who was still holding the script and was looking for a drama, directly 'poof' and spit out the water he had just drunk in his mouth.

"This ...... Why is this so like an aunt in the park? ”

And sitting next to Lu Zhengyi, Zhang Xueming was supposed to be on the plane back to Beidu today, after all, the things that Lu Zhengyi mentioned at the beginning were not something that could be considered in a day or two.

But something like that happened yesterday, and no matter what you say today, you should stay for a long time.

And this insight has indeed risen.

Originally, as a ghost, Wang Xiaoxu made people feel a little uncomfortable.

But now the image of others in her heart has suddenly become a little ...... Lively.

In front of everyone, what appeared in everyone's field of vision was an aunt who looked rich, sitting happily on a rocking chair and shaking.

This is true in horror films...... It's a bit of a comedic effect.

"What's the matter, Brother Wang."

Xu Feng scratched his head and looked at the air next to him.

"This ...... I can't think of it. ”

When Wang Xiaoxu's voice sounded again, the aunt in the corner disappeared.

"One...... A horrible old lady, I can't think of it. ”

"There is no picture, there is no picture in my heart."

"Why, what's terrifying."

He looked at the crowd with some nervousness.

And Lu Zhengyi looked at him and was not surprised.

He had actually thought about it last night.

Wang Xiaoxu can so straightforwardly show the image of a Chu Renmei in front of everyone terrifyingly and intuitively.

That's because he saw the old corpse in the mountain village before his death, and he really has a shadow on the beauty of Chu Renmei.

Wang Xiaoxu only needs to dig out the Chu Renmei in his heart.

But now, the crew needs him to imagine a character that fits the character out of thin air according to the script, which is different.

Wang Xiaoxu had no picture of this terrifying old lady sitting on a rocking chair in his heart, he couldn't think of it!

And the others listened to his explanation and understood the meaning.

"It's just up to your imagination."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him helplessly, "Or is it...... Kaedeko, let's see if you can find some similar videos and pictures for him to see. ”

"Horror rocking chair old lady such a keyword."

"It seems that I am right to hand him over to you, if you have time, tell him more about the ghost stories and supernatural events you saw in the videos you recorded before, it would be better if we could have video materials, we have to exercise Brother Wang's imagination."
