Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 174 White Dragon King: Ziwei enters my destiny, extremely noble and honorable!
Filming in Southeast Asia went smoothly, and no one caused any trouble along the way.

After the crew finished filming the main scenes for the movie as planned, they were able to leave immediately.

The main thing is to get things done quickly, since this place is really unsafe, and the crew is afraid something might happen if they stay too long!

Andy Lau is very famous, especially in Southeast Asia. Sheng Yunxuan's influence is greater in mainland China, but he is also quite wealthy.

Who knows if some crazy criminal might suddenly decide to kidnap them and demand money...

The film crew wanted to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible and didn't want to stay here any longer.

However, due to flight scheduling issues over the next few days, the crew will need to transit through Bangkok before flying back to Hong Kong Island.

When the crew arrived in Bangkok, the key members of the crew discussed it amongst themselves and decided to temporarily go to the White Dragon Temple to find the White Dragon King.

Anyone who knows even a little about the Hong Kong entertainment industry should have heard of this so-called White Dragon King.

It is said that this man was either a bicycle repairman or an appliance repairman in his early years. Later, he taught himself fortune telling and began to tell fortunes for people.

By a twist of fate, he met a wealthy businessman, and through his introduction, he began to become famous among the wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia.

At the age of forty, he claimed to have awakened his past life memories, that he was the reincarnation of the "White Dragon King," and that he built a White Dragon Temple for himself.

Surprisingly, the temple is still quite popular, with many believers.

As for just how powerful this person is, all sorts of rumors have circulated about him in incredible detail!

Everyone in Hong Kong believed in him; Andy Lau, Wong Jing, Shu Qi, and Leung Chiu-wai all became his disciples.

He changed the name of the movie "Infernal Affairs".

It is said that the reason why the investors replaced Chen Guanxi with Jay Chou in the movie "Initial D" in which Sheng Yunxuan participated was because the White Dragon King said that Jay Chou's luck would be at its peak for the next ten years, while Chen Guanxi's career would decline.

Oh, and there's that time management guru, Show Lo, who also predicted that if he didn't get close to women, he could become more famous than Andy Lau...

Sheng Yunxuan mostly ignored these rumors, who knows how credible they were after they were spread like wildfire?
The original words may not have been exactly like that; they might have just been related, but the story got distorted and exaggerated over time.

It sounds impressive, but it's really just something to have fun with.

Because this person used to do business in Hong Kong Island, but ended up losing money and having to close down.

So either this person doesn't have any real skills and is just a fraud.

Either all evil is warded off under the red flag, or his "miraculous" abilities only work in Southeast Asia and become useless once he gets close to the mainland...

No matter the reason, Sheng Yunxuan can simply ignore him!

Sheng Yunxuan originally didn't want to go. After all, even if he wanted to worship gods, there were already so many Buddhist and Taoist gods and deities. Why did he have to go all the way to Southeast Asia to find some wild temples for illicit worship?

And they have to set off at four or five in the morning to wait for us, that's insane!
However, Sheng Yunxuan is currently working on a Hong Kong film crew, and many people in the crew believe in this, so it's best not to appear too antisocial.

I'll just go and join in the fun...

When they arrived at Bailong Temple with Andy Lau and his group, it was already past six in the morning.

I thought I arrived early, but there were already quite a few people queuing up to get a number.

The White Dragon Temple only accepts one hundred worshippers a day; those who don't get a number can't enter. In order to get in, many people arrive as early as 2 a.m. to queue.

However, since the crew came from Hong Kong Island and Andy Lau was leading them, they naturally received preferential treatment and were among the first to enter despite arriving late!
Breakfast is also provided at the temple. After eating, you can stroll around for a while before officially starting to receive worshippers at eight o'clock.

A gaunt old man who looked ordinary and had no air of otherworldly grace sat down on it, and then the "White Dragon King" possessed him.

Disciples would call out numbers one by one, and only those whose numbers were called could come forward to ask questions or offer blessings.

Sheng Yunxuan watched the commotion from the sidelines and didn't notice anything unusual about this person.

There's no way to predict good or bad fortune at a glance; it's just about saying things like "do good" and "go with the flow."

It seems that the dialogue between the White Dragon King and his followers served more as a form of psychological comfort.

……

Because he didn't believe this person really had any skills, he didn't ask anything when Sheng Yunxuan stepped forward.

Having been in this line of work for so many years, the White Dragon King has naturally encountered many people who don't actually believe in these things but just come to join in the fun.

Therefore, the White Dragon King, sitting on the throne, did not insist. He slightly opened his eyes and was about to pick up the long Bodhi grass beside him to go through the motions of helping Sheng Yunxuan to ward off disaster and pray for blessings.

But when he saw Sheng Yunxuan standing in front of him, the White Dragon King suddenly paused, and then looked at Sheng Yunxuan's face with suspicion.

Clear, gentle, and dignified, his face is like the midday sun, full and radiant, a true "face of the sun and moon"!
A reputation that resounds throughout Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island, and Taiwan cannot be built solely on superstition.

The story of "the reincarnation of the White Dragon King" is a hoax, but he does have some skill in face reading, fortune telling, and divination; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fool people!

Upon seeing Sheng Yunxuan's appearance, the White Dragon King lost his composure and stood there, seemingly lost in thought.

It was only after a disciple who was presiding over the ceremony subtly reminded him that the White Dragon King came to his senses and waved the long-stemmed grass twice above Sheng Yunxuan's head.

According to the original procedure, these two blows were supposed to be delivered to Sheng Yunxuan's head.

But looking at Sheng Yunxuan's noble appearance, the White Dragon King didn't dare to do it...

Having completed this entire process of warding off disasters and praying for blessings, Sheng Yunxuan bowed respectfully to the White Dragon King.

This person is already so old, Sheng Yunxuan should respect his age.

When he saw Sheng Yunxuan bowing to him, the White Dragon King instinctively wanted to get up and avoid him.

However, considering the presence of so many believers, and in order to maintain his high-class image, he still gritted his teeth and accepted Sheng Yunxuan's bow.

After Sheng Yunxuan left, the White Dragon King seemed somewhat distracted when meeting with the believers.

The disciples around him thought their master had suffered another bout of bronchitis, so they hastily ended today's ceremony.

When his disciples inquired after the event, the White Dragon King simply waved his hand, refusing to go to the hospital, and instead instructed his disciples to invite the entire film crew over.

When filming "Infernal Affairs," the big boss behind the scenes personally consulted the White Dragon King. From the movie title to the start date, everything had to be decided by him.

The huge success of "Infernal Affairs" was clearly due to the excellent script and actors, but in the eyes of those who believed in these things, it was all thanks to the guidance of the White Dragon King, which is quite ridiculous... This time, the crew came here for this reason.

After being invited by the White Dragon King, the crew members began to ask him for advice on what aspects of the film needed to be considered.

The White Dragon King rambled on with a bunch of ambiguous nonsense, and then proceeded to offer some seemingly plausible but ultimately unsubstantiated advice.

Then his eyes flickered, and his gaze fell upon Sheng Yunxuan behind him. He took the initiative to ask:

"Is this the male lead in the movie?"

He was of Chinese descent and only moved to Bangkok at the age of thirteen. Over the years, he has frequently come into contact with people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so naturally he can speak fluent Mandarin...

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gestured for Sheng Yunxuan, who was standing at the back, to come forward.

Left with no other choice, Sheng Yunxuan could only step forward.

The White Dragon King sized up Sheng Yunxuan before him, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Sheng Yunxuan had an imposing noble air about him.

Having worked in this industry for so many years, he has seen many wealthy and powerful people, but in terms of appearance, he has never seen anyone as handsome as Sheng Yunxuan!
The White Dragon King grew increasingly surprised, yet his curiosity was also piqued, and he finally spoke up:

Let me tell your fortune!

Liu Dehua and the rest of the crew looked at Sheng Yunxuan with some surprise and envy upon hearing this.

The White Dragon King now mostly reads people's faces, claiming he can "know good or bad fortune" at a glance, and rarely performs divination himself anymore.

If it is someone he believes is not "connected" with, then no matter how much money he offers or how many people he hires, he cannot be persuaded to come out and tell fortunes.

Now that he's offering to cast a divination for Sheng Yunxuan, it's seen as a blessing by others...

Sheng Yunxuan wasn't very interested, because he himself understood the I Ching, Bagua, and Qimen Dunjia, which were rewards he redeemed after simulating "Gu Xichao".

However, these things felt a bit like big data analysis to Sheng Yunxuan, and he had calculated them for himself twice.

But the results were all vague and inaccurate, so he didn't try again...

At this moment, Sheng Yunxuan was also curious about the White Dragon King's abilities and what he could predict for him, so he nodded in agreement.

After carefully inquiring about Sheng Yunxuan's birth date and time, the White Dragon King felt a slight sense of relief, as at first glance, he seemed quite ordinary.

But he didn't know if it was a psychological problem, but when he started to calculate the Eight Characters chart, he always felt a vague and unclear feeling!

The more he calculated, the more uneasy the White Dragon King became.

Unlike Siam, the mainland doesn't have any kings to speak of. They've long since rebelled against imperialism and feudalism, so how could there possibly be any emperors with such supreme and noble destiny on the mainland...?

The White Dragon King comforted himself in this way, but as he continued to deduce, his hands began to tremble slightly, and eventually he even stopped.

Perhaps due to psychological factors, the inexplicable sense of obscurity and stagnation made the White Dragon King dare not continue his deductions.

He even felt a sense of unease when he recalled the moment he sat down and received a bow from such a distinguished person as Sheng Yunxuan.

Fortune tellers know the taboos, which can be summarized as "having mana consumes mana, having no mana consumes life." He is not qualified to tell fortunes for such a noble person!

Not to mention that he couldn't possibly accept such courtesies from someone of such high status; it would shorten his lifespan...

This sudden impulse today might have shortened my lifespan considerably; it turns out to be a calamity for myself!

Thinking of this, the White Dragon King's face turned pale, then flushed red, and his breathing became increasingly rapid due to his emotional state.

He first gasped for breath twice, then began to cough violently.

Accompanied by violent coughing, the White Dragon King even began to cough up blood on the spot, causing his disciples to rush over in panic, shouting all at once.

At this moment, everyone from the film crew who had come with him looked at Sheng Yunxuan with utter shock.

They witnessed firsthand that after the White Dragon King performed a divination for Sheng Yunxuan, he began to vomit blood.

This behavior perfectly matches the descriptions in various movies, TV dramas, and novels of people suffering a backlash after peeking into the secrets of heaven...

No, even the reincarnation of the "White Dragon King" isn't qualified to tell your fortune. Who are you, some great figure who descended to earth?
Sheng Yunxuan, who was standing next to him, quickly stepped back a few paces, afraid that the blood spit out by the White Dragon King would get on him.

I even wore white clothes specifically for this trip, but blood stains are really hard to wash off...

Noticing the way others were looking at him, Sheng Yunxuan was speechless and began to explain himself:
"He looks like he's having a bronchial attack... Where's his emergency medication? And call the hospital right away!"

It seems this White Dragon King's cultivation isn't quite up to par either, yet he still manages to escape the limitations of birth, aging, sickness, and death!

After being reminded by Sheng Yunxuan, everyone suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly started looking for medicine and water, feeding them medicine and helping them catch their breath, and calling an ambulance.

All this busy work did alleviate the White Dragon King's symptoms somewhat, and he didn't look so frightening anymore.

After calming down a bit, the White Dragon King's disciples also began to frequently look towards Sheng Yunxuan.

Among them, the eldest disciple surnamed Lu, who had received the true teachings of the White Dragon King, couldn't help but be curious and subconsciously looked at the half-finished destiny chart of the White Dragon King on the table.

The White Dragon King, whose symptoms had just begun to subside, noticed his eldest disciple's subtle movements. His emotions surged again, and he struggled to his feet to stop him, panting as he warned:
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, incomparably precious, cough cough cough... You mustn't look!"

When the eldest disciple surnamed Lu saw his master looking so weak after suffering the "backlash," he was so frightened that he immediately looked away and dared not look anymore.

The disciples around, having clearly heard what the White Dragon King said, all looked towards Sheng Yunxuan.

At this moment, with the White Dragon King's comment that he was "incredibly noble," even the disciples who did not understand physiognomy felt that Sheng Yunxuan was a person of great dignity and nobility, whose every move exuded grandeur and nobility!

They each only glanced at Sheng Yunxuan briefly before fearfully averting their gaze, lowering their heads and daring not to look again...

The rest of the film crew who came with them did not hear clearly the conversation between the White Dragon King and his eldest disciple.

But what had just happened, and the reactions of the White Dragon King and his disciples to Sheng Yunxuan, allowed them to roughly guess what was going on.

In an instant, the way everyone in the crew looked at Sheng Yunxuan changed!
Sheng Yunxuan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain, so he could only sigh wearily.

How can this old charlatan have his own illness and somehow connect it to me?
