The deep mountains at night are supposed to be dark and quiet, but this is obviously not true in Momijiyama. As the main set of Songcheng Performing Arts Company, a place that undertakes various shooting tasks all year round, the night here is at least quiet and quiet.

Tonight's Red Leaf Mountain is very quiet, but it can't be said to be dark. The huge plane mirror light ball of Chu Han Jiaoxiong's movie world stood on the top of the Red Leaf Mountain, and at this time, the surface of the light ball was glowing with a faint blue light, illuminating the entire mountain top like a super huge moon. And the blue light presented by the ball of light is something that these actors have never seen before.

Xiang Ji and the others were waiting on the set of the crew on the top of the mountain at this time, and it was less than half an hour before they carried out the punishment task, and Lao Bai led them to the square in front of the mirror light ball.

On the way to the mountaintop set, Xiang Ji also felt that the Red Leaf Mountain was unusually quiet tonight, and it seemed that something was not normal. Maybe it's because the crew hasn't officially started filming tonight? But when the group really came to the huge ball of light, everyone realized that they had guessed wrong.

There are not only people, but there are many of them, and a team of actors who seem to have tens of thousands of people is already waiting there! As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no limit. Tens of thousands of people gathered together, giving people the feeling that it was really crowded and there was no end in sight. Normally, with so many people gathered together, and the scene should be very noisy.

But tonight, the actors didn't make a sound at all, and everyone sat quietly cross-legged in place, motionless. If it weren't for the fact that their chests were still breathing heaving, and their round eyes were occasionally turning slightly, they would have been a group of statues.

And the only people in this group of statues who are active are the crew and the more than 20 punishment task performers, this situation makes Xiang Ji and his party can't help but relax and hold their breath.

"It's so quiet! How many people are there? Are they all already in? But their eyes are still open. Someone couldn't help but whisper to the director.

"About 30,000 people. They haven't made it into the movie yet, but they've been deeply hypnotized, after all, there are too many people tonight. Lao Bai replied softly.

"See those blue lights on the plane mirror light sphere? You probably haven't seen it before, it's a small device used to shoot very large scale scenes, and it can put people who don't resist into a hypnotized state. In this state, it will be more convenient for us to extract souls for many actors at the same time. ”

"Otherwise, it would be a terrible job to get so many people's souls into the movie in such a short period of time. Bai Zhantang sighed to them.

"Plane Mirror Light Sphere?" Xiang Ji secretly remembered the name, this was the first time he had heard the specific name of this spherical light curtain on the set.

Seeing that the director, Xiang Ji and others had already arrived on the set, the personnel of Songcheng Interpretation Company, who were responsible for maintaining security on the periphery, made way for them. In the middle of the area where the actors were sitting, there was an empty space that was not occupied, and there were already several crew members waiting for them.

Among them, an old monk in a robe and a Taoist priest in a shabby robe were particularly eye-catching, Bai Zhantang nodded to the monk, and then signaled the staff to start.

"Attention units! Tonight, the crew officially starts filming! When the actors enter the venue, everyone cheers up, there are too many people, be careful not to have problems. Perimeter security team, be careful not to let irrelevant people disturb the actors. Alright, let's take our positions and act according to the plan!" the thief Bai Zhantang commanded in a deep voice into the headset on his lips. "Daoist Tan, Master Xuanyue, there are two of you next!" After arranging other matters in the venue, Lao Bai looked back and respectfully asked the two monks and Taoist priests behind him.

"Amitabha! The poor monk will do his best. ”

"The layman is polite!" a monk and two outsiders also responded politely.

Each crew has a special person responsible for extracting and transporting the soul of the actor, which is also the core work of a crew, which can be replaced by ordinary people. During the last filming, Xiang Ji was hooked by a lich, who is said to be a master of necromancy in his native plane. And Lao Bai's Chu Han Jiaoxiong crew, the configuration of this type of work is completely oriental, and the monk in front of him is the combination of the crew responsible for these affairs, and the status is extraordinary......

Tan Daochang started first, only to see that he relied on the formation that had already been arranged in the field, holding the talisman in one hand and pinching the Flying Soul Crossing the Sea Recipe in the other hand to start the practice. Xiang Ji felt a little unsettled on the side, and in a trance, some cyan halos seemed to appear on the actors closest to Daoist Tan, and this cyan halo spread rapidly after it appeared, like a cyan flame centered on the Taoist priest of the practice, burning towards the periphery of the crowd along the formation yin line on the ground.

The flame burned brighter and brighter, and became more and more restless. In the flames, humanoid phantom-like things began to gradually take shape, slowly leaving the actors' bodies and drifting towards the sky. This is the soul of the people?! Xiang Ji felt that his consciousness was fluttering like in a dream, and he wanted to blend into the cyan sea of fire around him, but he knew that he must not do this, and tried his best to control his mind from being shaken.

At this moment, the old monk who was sitting next to him began to recite the Heart Sutra: "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when you walk deep in Prajnaparamita, you will see that the five aggregates are empty." ”

Xiang Ji has never believed in these immortals and holy Buddhas and the like in reality, and he doesn't have much affection for those verbose scriptures. But here and now, the heart sutra recited by this monk is a great help to Xiang Ji.

In the solemn chanting of Master Xuanyue, Xiang Ji felt that his consciousness had become much clearer, and gradually suppressed his urge to blend in with the cyan fire around him. Phew, the mind returned to his own shell Xiang Ji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thanks to this scripture, it was really dangerous just now.

"Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. The same is true of what you want to do. The relics are the empty phase of the Dharma, not born and destroyed, not dirty and impure, not increased or decreased, so there is no color in the air, no thought and action, no eyes and ears, no nose and tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision, and even the unconscious world,...... "The monk continued to chant the scriptures, and became more and more solemn.

Under the support of the scriptures, the surrounding cyan sea of fire gradually calmed down, and the restlessness just now was gone. The illusory and vague figures in the flames were also fixed a foot above the actors' bodies, no longer moving upwards.

"Overwhelming the mountains! Let me go!" Director Bai Zhantang, who had moved to the periphery of the crowd at some point, suddenly shouted, and the wind surged between his palms, pushing towards the cyan sea of fire. Like a strong wind blowing the clouds in the sky, a large area of cyan soul fire in the square suddenly surged towards the plane mirror light ball in front of him. The huge ball of light was like a sponge, absorbing all the soul fires that came in, and in less than half an hour, tens of thousands of souls in the entire square were thrown into the movie world.

"Whew! It's finally over, and it's okay, nothing has gone wrong. Bai Zhantang, who was sweating on his forehead, took a long breath and slowly collected his strength.
