It was already afternoon when he drove to the airport in Liancheng in the morning, and after going through some procedures to get on the plane, he took another two-hour flight, and when Lu Zhengyi arrived home, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, nearly 10 o'clock.

Falling with a howling cold wind,

Standing in front of the door, Lu Zhengyi was wrapped in a black coat, and on his shoulder stood an impatient black cat, grasping the pole of the black suitcase in one hand and a black object similar to a walking stick in the other.

"This casual matching, it's simple, it's all black."

He said helplessly, "When I go in, Xue Ming will probably say that I don't pay attention to my image again." ”

"Meow."

Ah Yong stood on Lu Zhengyi's shoulder and replied, his eyes casually glancing at the cane he was holding in his hand.

The black, metallic cane fell to the ground, straight and hard.

But it wasn't until his eyes fell on the curved grip that he could see a cold and hideous snake head probing his brain, as if he was not used to this state.

Shame?

There must be.

As a spiritual creature that has existed for hundreds of years, the black snake's life can be said to be extremely nourishing before it provokes humans.

In this mountain forest, no matter what kind of beast it is, he can easily deal with it.

Even a few decades ago, the mountains were often infested with large beasts, such as tigers, wild bears, and wild wolves...... He was not afraid at all.

It can be said that at the moment of birth, he was already distinguished from ordinary snakes, and even went beyond the laws of the food chain and nature, and became an alien, a powerful alien.

But now I am not only the property of others, but I also need to straighten myself in order to become a qualified cane!

But what can you do if you are ashamed, in the face of a bottomless lake, the black snake has no way to resist.

At least there is no way around it now.

Forbear!

The black snake felt the palm of his hand clenching his neck, stiffening to maintain his body.

"Ah Yong, what do you think of the results of his attempt to turn him into a cane this time?"

However, Lu Zhengyi was not satisfied, and after gently waving the black cane that the black snake got after straightening the body of the black snake in his hand, he had some thoughts, "Does a young man in his twenties really look stupid and contrived when he goes out with a cane?" ”

"Meow!"

Ah Yong replied with certainty that he had seen such a dress in some movies and TV series.

In reality, it's basically the elderly who bring this.

"Then I'll think about how to carry it."

After getting Ah Yong's response, Lu Zhengyi said helplessly, "I just wanted to bring it back, but I forgot to think about how to place it." ”

"We should have brought that coffin back together, and when there was a scene, we called the black snake out, and threw it into the coffin if there was no scene."

"Looking at the attitude of the Taoist chief when he called me, he should not refuse to help...... bar. ”

Ah Yong rolled his eyes, "Meow ......"

"Also, the wooden box refused to be given to me at the beginning."

Lu Zhengyi entered the house with a smile.

And about them blatantly discussing how to 'place' themselves in front of themselves, Black Snake dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Pulling his suitcase into the courtyard, Lu Zhengyi came to the door all the time, but he didn't see anyone come out.

He glanced at the monitor in the courtyard suspiciously, and it was clearly on.

'Probably at work?' ’

Lu Zhengyi glanced at his phone, it was still past nine o'clock.

Although Zhang Xueming saw a doctor last time and began to pay attention to the rules of life, she should still be awake at this point, right?

Pressing the combination lock, he walked into the house.

"High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking ......"

As soon as he entered the house, the sound of the TV came to Lu Zhengyi's ears, and he pushed his suitcase to the living room, and at first glance he saw Zhang Xueming lying on the sofa, as if asleep.

Then, he shrugged his nose and sniffed, and there were plates of dishes on the dining table in the dining hall in the distance.

But it seems to have been cold for a long time, and none of the dishes are getting hot.

"Yong, you help me drag my suitcase up, and I'll go and heat up the food."

Lu Zhengyi said, and turned his head to look at the motionless black snake, "As for you, stay obediently." ”

As he spoke, he leaned his cane against the wall.

"Bang-"

But before Lu Zhengyi could walk towards the kitchen, there was a crashing sound at the staircase.

He looked up and saw that Ah Yong was crouching on top of the suitcase, looking at him innocently.

Obviously, although his strength is not small, he is limited to his size, and it is impossible to carry the suitcase quietly.

"Hmm......"

And Zhang Xueming, who was sleeping on the sofa, seemed to be woken up by this voice, and shouted unconsciously.

"I'm going to help, too."

Lu Zhengyi looked at the black snake who was pretending to be leaning on his cane by the wall, "Listen to Ah Yong's command, put it in the room where it should be placed, and then come down." ”

"Shhhh

The black snake shouted and crawled over slowly.

As he climbed, his figure slowly grew.

When he came to the staircase, he was already as tall as a person, and after biting the pole of the suitcase with his snake mouth, he easily lifted it up, and climbed up to the second floor under the guidance of Ah Yong in front of him.

"You're back......"

On the sofa, Zhang Xueming sat up and glanced at Lu Zhengyi with sleepy eyes.

Then, she stared blankly at the black tail that slowly disappeared at the staircase, "That's ...... What? The snake you're talking about? ”

Although it was very sudden, as soon as she woke up, she saw such a huge black snake climbing up the stairs, but there was no fear on her face.

"Yes, the snake."

Lu Zhengyi walked over, looked at her confused appearance when she had just gotten up, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, "But...... Don't tell me, you haven't had dinner yet? Didn't I say that my plane arrived at the airport at eight o'clock. ”

"I knew you came back late, so I still ate a little first." Zhang Xueming took his hand away and rubbed his eyes again, "After eating, I drank the medicine, thinking about watching TV for a while, waiting for you while watching, but I fell asleep while watching." ”

"Looking at it when you fall asleep, it sounds like you're tired." Lu Zhengyi walked towards the dining hall, "Although you are now sleeping on time at night in order to have a regular schedule and rest, you can't be too tired during the day, otherwise there will be no point in resting." ”

"The main thing is that this medicine also has a bit of a calming effect."

Zhang Xueming explained, "Mr. Xu said that my body is overworked, even if I want to go to bed early at night, I may not be able to sleep early, so I added some adjuvant medicine to help sleep." ”

"I have to say, this Mr. Xu is really capable, during this period of time, I drank medicine on time, and I could basically lie down at night and sleep until daytime, without getting up at night, even with a lot of energy, and my work efficiency went up all of a sudden."

"And things like cervical spine discomfort, stomach gas reversal, migraine...... These problems, which will occur after a long period of work, have gradually improved a lot. ”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the dining hall, "No wonder he is so famous in Guangfu, when I took my parents to see a doctor, even some leaders of Guangfu City were honestly queuing there." ”

"If he is here, the people over there in Guangfu can really have an extra life."

"But I heard that he didn't seem to have found a suitable heir, and many people rushed to find him an apprentice, hoping to inherit his mantle."

How important a skilled doctor is, you will know when you get sick.

And a good doctor who is old is even more important, because he is afraid that people will leave, and he will not know where to go to see a doctor with peace of mind.

"I'll just come, just heat up the dishes."

Lu Zhengyi rejected her plan to go into the kitchen together, "You sit over there, wait a while." ”

He took a few dishes into the kitchen, didn't close the door, turned on the hood, put oil in it and started to heat the dishes.

"I've heard about Dr. Xu's situation, but he actually taught it, but no one has learned it." Lu Zhengyi replied, "After all, he is a cultivator who entered the Tao from a doctor, just like he was born to be this doctor, which is different from other people. ”

"His pharmacy has taken in a lot of apprentices, and usually he only sees a few patients every day, and the rest is for the apprentices to take over."

"But judging from the current situation, no one else has the medical talent to learn his skills, at least not like him, and embark on the path of cultivation from the medical aspect."

Zhang Xueming nodded thoughtfully, "According to what you say, this road is actually quite mysterious, and it basically depends on ...... Luck. ”

Yes, luck.

She has known Lu Zhengyi for a few years, and after getting married, the other party has not avoided her anymore when talking about many things when she is practicing.

And from those things, Zhang Xueming saw one thing, that is, luck.

It doesn't matter what kind of social status you are, whether you are male or female, regardless of age......

A person can only embark on the path of cultivation when he finds the path that suits him, but who is born knowing what he is suitable for? It's probably a lifetime of missing out.

Of course, there will also be people who feel that rich people have no pressure in life and can try more opportunities.

So the question is, with more options in front of you, is it an easier shortcut to embark on this path? Of course not.

According to Lu Zhengyi and some of the 'cultivators' she has met, this path is more like after studying a certain field to a certain extreme, it is easier for those who choose the right path to make breakthroughs, and some special changes will occur with it.

And people who don't have the pressure of life can indeed have more opportunities to try.

But just like a lot of people study, even if they have the money and energy, they will only do a master's degree or a doctorate, and many people are more striving to get more degrees.

But there are only a few people who are really willing to spend time and energy to explore and research.

After all, it may take a few years or more than ten years to get a degree, but if you want to really gain a foothold in this field, it will take decades to study.

How many decades are there in a person's life?

This road only pays attention to the word 'edge'.

"Don't care if you don't fix it, the most important thing is to live happily."

Lu Zhengyi quickly warmed up the meal and served it to the table.

Then, under Zhang Xueming's puzzled gaze, he picked up his mobile phone and ordered a few takeaway fried chicken, "There is another mouth in the house, and this mouth eats a lot." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ah Yong ran down from the second floor and couldn't wait to come to the dinner table to wait for his bowl.

But then, another figure appeared silently at the top of the staircase.

The big black snake was crawling, and there was no movement at all when it went downstairs.

"You wait over there first, your meal hasn't arrived yet."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, then served the meal to the two of them and sat down directly.

"This ......"

Zhang Xueming glanced at the black snake that silently climbed to the wall and turned into a cane, and asked with some hesitation, "This should be considered a guest, right?" ”

In the past, Lu Zhengyi didn't seem to have such an unkind attitude towards others, so she asked in a puzzled tone.

"It doesn't count."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "He is very dangerous and has eaten a lot of people." ”

"I just helped others clean up the troubles, and brought them back by the way to see if they could be used in the scene."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, just treat it as something that can't be touched like that mask."

As soon as she heard that she had eaten someone, Zhang Xueming slowly withdrew her gaze.

You really can't be considered a guest.

"But did you let him dress up like this to make it easier to go out?"

But then, while eating again, Zhang Xueming asked, "This is ...... Walking stick? It feels like you'll be more conspicuous when you go out like this. However, you are not an ordinary person, and others should not be able to see you, but some itineraries such as press conferences don't seem to be suitable, and they are not very well disguised. ”

"It's quite conspicuous, so I'm thinking of doing something else."

Lu Zhengyi hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"Actually, the cane is very good, but for an ordinary person, it may be a little abrupt."

Zhang Xueming shook her head, "But you are different, you are a director, and you can barely be regarded as an artist." ”

"Other artists always like to wear a hat, or wear an earring, wear heavy makeup or something when they go out, and dress up very fancy to highlight their artistic sense."

"But you don't like to dress too fancy, and now you usually go out in formal attire, and it's actually good to bring this cane, but you need to strengthen your disguise."

She looked at the black snake on the wall again, "His scales look special, they look very metallic, but after all, they still look like a snake, not that they can be used as a walking stick if their body is straightened." ”

"I think I can customize a ...... The scabbard-like sleeve allows him to get in, and he must be tired from being so stiff all the time. ”

"I remember that one of our company's self-media bloggers specializes in these handicrafts, but he has recently participated in a trip arranged by the company, going abroad to participate in a forging conference or something, and he may have to wait until he comes back to help make it."

Probably because Lu Zhengyi was next to her, she looked very bold.

There was no timidity at all because the big man-eating snake was not far away, and he was happy to give advice.

Lu Zhengyi's eyes lit up, if he made a sleeve to put a skin on this black snake, it would indeed be convenient to take with him.

"Or do you have an idea?"

He hurriedly peeled a shrimp and fed it over, "Ah Yong knew about hitting me just now, and he didn't have any idea at all." ”

Ah Yong, who was eating a meal, raised his head from the rice bowl, and the emotions on a cat's face were more complex and complicated.

"Don't talk about Ah Yong, find a time to see my parents tomorrow." Zhang Xueming ate the shrimp that was fed to her mouth, "I haven't visited them for a while, you go over tomorrow during the day, I'll go over at night, let's have a meal with them, by the way, you also persuade Dad to retire, his body also has to be raised." ”

"Okay, that's what I was going to do." Lu Zhengyi nodded, "After I drive you to the company tomorrow, I will go to my parents' house first and talk to them about this matter." Then in the afternoon, I will pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then go to the company to pick you up. ”

"I often don't see people in this job, and I was a little embarrassed that you took me with me to see a doctor before."

"Tomorrow, when we have the opportunity, we will all sit down as a family and have a meal together."

For her husband who had not forgotten her parents, Zhang Xueming smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Next, they talked about how to persuade Director Lu Da to give up his film career tomorrow and retire at home to recuperate, and then talked about what he planned to eat tomorrow.

Although there are no sweet words like I miss you, they are all talking about things related to each other's lives.

As for work, on the first night Lu Zhengyi came home after filming, they didn't say anything at the right time.

……

……

The matter of persuading Director Lu Da to retire did not go so smoothly.

Just as Lu Zhengyi thought before, he was not willing to give up the cause that he had held on to for decades.

Or should I say, honor.

Lu Yiyong doesn't want to live a life of raising flowers and teasing birds at home, but wants to continue filming by himself and continue to be the big director on the set.

In this regard, Lu Zhengyi can only respect his thoughts.

For the sake of his identity, he needs to persuade his father to give up his career for the sake of his body.

But as a director, he understands the other party's approach.

Then it is natural to give up persuasion at the right time.

The first day after returning home, Roh spent time with his family.

Visiting his parents, visiting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the big guy usually sits down to have a home-cooked meal.

Although at the dinner table, Lu Zhengyi and the two were naturally given birth again, and because Zhang Xueming had a possible infertility result from Dr. Xu Bingcai before, this birth was even more serious.

But this is very different from the usual situation after he returned to the Northern Capital after filming.

And this once again made Lu Zhengyi realize the fact that he was married.

In the old mansion that no one lives in the northern capital all year round, my mother no longer runs around the world with the repertory troupe, and my father has also reduced his working hours, so that the old house has a breath of life again.

His own home, in the villa on the outskirts of the northern capital, is no longer used as a 'hotel' and 'work area', but a home for himself, Zhang Xueming and Ah Yong.

It's been a few years, and life is changing.

But it's not just life, it's also about work.

"In your absence, the footage has been processed."

When Lu Zhengyi came to the Plum Fox Studio, Xu Feng, who had returned to Beidu first to start the post-production work, had already led people to divide and process the shooting materials, "But I feel, do you have any special ideas?" ”

"When I was filming, I couldn't figure out whether this film really had ghosts or just mental illness."

"What kind of marketing do you want to do?"

Lu Zhengyi pushed the door of the editing room with a cane, blocking the curious eyes of those agents and operators outside, "That's not true, when I was filming, Lao Zhang asked the same question as you." But now there is no need to do any marketing outside the movie, I was afraid that the audience would not be able to see the horror and horror buried in the dark line. ”

"But we just need to express what we want to express from the content of the movie."

"After all, even if we don't bury dark lines in the plot of the movie now, the audience can interpret some things that are extremely scary and scared of themselves, and there is no need to engage in marketing from outside the movie."

Now for the audience of the Tang Kingdom, what he does is a hidden mystery.
