Accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of gongs, drums and cymbals, nine actresses stepped nimbly with professional steps, and nine fish lanterns leaped and moved forward in an interlaced manner.

Vaguely, the crowd seemed to see nine real aquatic creatures playing, surrounding beads, and jumping in the water.

With a long sound of ancient cymbals, the "Star Nine Carp Team" ended their first Nine Carp Dance.

The dance ended, and the crowd watching the sacrifice became unusually quiet, when suddenly a few dark clouds floated over the altar.

Han Bingbing didn't receive any instructions in her headset, so she had to lead the team back to the village temple according to the procedures she remembered.

A new incense table was set up in the temple, and nine lamp stands were placed behind it. Nine people inserted the fish lanterns one by one and clapped each other excitedly!

“We’re done!”

Han Bingbing whispered, "There's nothing for us to do down there, let's go back and rest, and try to practice with the dragon dance team again before the afternoon departure!"

As soon as the nine people walked out of the temple gate, they heard sudden warm applause and cheers.

Some of them blushed, lowered their heads and went back to the old house without saying anything more.

The barrage was lively.

"So, the silence of the audience just now was because they were shocked?"

"I was shocked too! This is the first time I've seen a singing and dancing show perform this kind of ritual dance!"

"Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the door! This lantern dance is indeed a good performance!"

"I'm from Fujian Province. This lantern dance is only performed in our cities. The few times I've been lucky enough to see it, none of them were as good as the sisters!"

"What the hell is it that I can sense the spirit of the group in the dance of nine people?!"

"The person above has spoken my mind! A group of nine sisters! Form a group right here!"

"Please! Sisters, please stay together!"

"..."

The lighting test ceremony at the village temple ended, and the live broadcast camera cut back to the ancient house.

The people who were having lunch in the main hall were chatting and laughing, as if the strangeness of yesterday had disappeared in an instant and they suddenly became familiar with each other.

"Sister Bingbing, what did you teach Senior Zhizhi this morning? I want to learn it too~" Nikki finally found an opportunity to ask.

Han Bingbing was thinking about what Manman had just told her, and replied, "Then just get up early and find me tomorrow."

Nikki quickly turned to her roommate Zhu Zhu and said, "Sister Zhu Zhu, call me tomorrow when you get up! I want to learn with you too! Senior Zhizhi and Sister Zhu Zhu were both amazing today! They didn't even complain about sore arms after they finished dancing!"

Ou Chen said sarcastically, "That's because Senior Zhizhi and Zhuzhu have strong endurance. It has nothing to do with her!"

Cui Jing glanced at her and said, "I think it is quite relevant. At least it is more relevant than the fascia gun!"

Han Bingbing said calmly, "Everyone has different physiques, so naturally their feelings are different. This is very normal, and it's essentially just for health reasons."

The barrage of comments suddenly filled the screen.

"Huh? What happened that I don't know about?"

"What did General Han teach? I want to know too~"

"So this seemingly elaborate lantern dance really took them one day to practice? I don't believe it (bushi)"

"VIP has been opened, waiting for the highlights~"

Outside the village temple, the onlookers had dispersed, and Village Chief Yan was arranging the gong and drum team to go to dinner.

Taoist priest Chen Qian called him.

"Master? You haven't left yet? There's no need to perform rituals tonight. You can just come back tomorrow!"

Chen Qian nodded and asked casually, "The lantern dance team just now didn't seem to be from the village?"

Yan Cuncun slapped his thigh and said, "No, no! This is not a TV show hosted by the city leaders. They brought a bunch of celebrities and insisted on dancing our Nine Carp Dance! If you ask me, it's a good thing nothing went wrong, otherwise I would have to go and make a scene with that leader!"

Chen Qian listened to him quietly, nodded, flicked his whisk, said goodbye and left.

When passing by an old house that was busier than usual, I subconsciously looked inside and saw the woman who led the lantern dance team at noon coming out. I stopped unconsciously.

Han Bingbing originally came out to look for Manman, but unexpectedly saw the Taoist standing outside.

The staff around him looked at him several times, not knowing whether they should chase him away.

"You look kind," Chen Qian flicked his whisk and nodded to Han Bingbing, "I wonder if there are any practitioners in your family?"

Han Bingbing glanced at him coldly, "Master, what advice do you have?"

Chen Qian said slowly: "Looking at the good man's face, he must have a great disaster in his life, and this disaster will affect his life span, but no one knows who will resolve it, so I dare to guess that there is someone with profound Taoism around him."

Han Bingbing's expression relaxed slightly. She thought that this man had seen through her thousand-year-old fox soul!

She shook her head. "I didn't notice there were people like the Master around."

Seeing that Chen Qian's eyes were still lingering on her face, Han Bingbing felt disgusted and said suddenly, "Master, since you come to the island so often, have you noticed anything unusual in this old house?"

Chen Qian frowned and looked towards the old house.

This old house was built on the only way from the island port to the village temple. He had to pass through this place every time he came to the island to perform rituals, and he never felt...

and many more!

Chen Qian took out a compass from his backpack, and the shaking needle indicated that something was wrong here!

Chen Qian stepped forward and was about to enter the old house, but was stopped by several staff members.

"Master, I'm sorry, we are recording a program inside and cannot let you in for the time being."

When Chen Qian turned around at his wit's end, Han Bingbing, who had diverted the trouble to others, had disappeared.

Manman found a staff member to lead the way, and walked towards the village chief's house with Han Bingbing.

"Sister, why are we going to see the village chief?"

Han Bingbing did not answer but asked, "Are you sure Uncle Cat's real name is Qi Qingyu?"

Manman nodded, "That's right! I talked to him on the phone and told him what you meant. He said he would arrange a time to let me know."

Han Bingbing pondered, it seemed that her guess was correct, but, this was too much of a coincidence!

When she met the village chief, Han Bingbing didn't act awkwardly and spoke politely.

"Uncle Yan, I have something to ask you!"

Village chief Yan, who had just stepped into the house, was very surprised. Although he recognized the beauty in front of him as the captain of the celebrity Jiuli Team, he didn't know why a female star would look for him.

"Is the owner of the old house where we live while recording the show still there?"

Village Chief Yan was even more surprised. After asking them to sit down, he took a puff of water pipe and said slowly, "The owner of that old house is gone, but there is still a keeper."

Han Bingbing looked curious, "Is it the one who lives in the back?"

Village Chief Yan's brows sternly said, "You fell behind?!"

Manman, who was originally listening to the conversation between the two people attentively, hurriedly moved closer to Han Bingbing, fearing that he would do something dangerous.

Han Bingbing gave her a soothing look and shook her head innocently at Village Chief Yan, "No, Uncle Yan, we have obeyed your instructions!"

"Yesterday I saw a strange person watching me dancing. I saw her go to the back house, and wondered if there were still people living in that old house..."

Village Chief Yan leaned back on his bamboo lounge chair and said, "Yes, that's why I told you not to go to Houluo. The keeper still lives there."

"Is there any story behind that old house? I always like to hear these true old stories. Uncle Yan, can you tell me one?"
