Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chapter 226 The Little Taoist's Ghost King is Pretty Handsome 08

When they arrived in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly outside, but it couldn't reach the courtyard. After entering, they felt a chill on their backs.

A boy named Zhu Sen asked, "Why?"

Qingyu looked around, and the others followed his gaze.

There is a well on each side. One well is open, while the other is weighed down by a stone with an iron chain and a padlock hanging on it.

The walls of each courtyard were covered with worn-out yellow talismans, as if they hadn't been replaced in a long time.

"Because someone wants to lock things here."

"Wha, what?"

Someone couldn't help but ask, and the body obediently snuggled into the arms of the person next to it, trying to find a sense of security.

Qingyu pointed to the old locust tree, where the leaves rustled and swayed, but no one could see anything there.

Just as I was about to ask more questions, Qingyu said, "Lock the door when you go to sleep at night, and don't look out the window unless necessary."

After saying that, he yawned.

"Haha, Qingyu is really good at joking."

A warm voice came from the doorway, and the camera turned away.

The young man was followed by several people carrying luggage. When they saw the camera filming him, they walked away automatically.

Only Wen Yanqing was left, pulling a small suitcase as he walked over. He smiled as he took those few steps toward the camera.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wen Yanqing. Sorry I'm a little late. I didn't expect everyone to be telling stories."

When the others saw that it was Wen Yanqing, they quickly went up to greet him, talking to him and helping him with his luggage.

Compared to when they first saw Chiyu Island, the crowd was even more enthusiastic.

In their eyes, Chi Yu was the crown prince, and they dared not offend him; they would be much more reserved around him.

Wen Yanqing was different. Although they were big names, they came from similar backgrounds, so they got along more harmoniously.

Wen Yanqing has a very good reputation in the industry. He is a sunny and gentle person and is known as the "Little Sun" of the entertainment circle.

In the eyes of his fans, Wen Yanqing is inherently warm. He warms his teammates on the show and his co-stars on set. It seems that wherever he is, there is warmth everywhere.

After Wen Yanqing appeared, the comments section, which had been gradually quieting down, became active again.

[It's Wen Yanqing! My Qingqing is finally here! Waaaaah, my little ray of sunshine!]

[I was terrified by what Qingyu said. It's nighttime, and my mom washed the curtains in my room, so I'm too scared to look out the window.]

[I'm trembling with fear, little sun, please warm me up, boohoo, I'm so scared.]

Wen Yanqing's big eyes sparkled as he looked at Qing Yu and said with a smile:

"I've long heard that Qingyu is a member of the Xuanmen sect. Coincidentally, I am too. Yesterday, I even went to the ancient tomb with my senior brother. You know the Carefree King, right? That's where I went yesterday."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at Chiyu.

Apart from the Chi family, no one else knew the name of the Carefree King. Even when they went down into the ancient tomb, they could only look at the main burial chamber from afar and were not allowed to get close at all.

But he did go down, and that's no lie.

As soon as he spoke, everyone couldn't help but look at Chiyu.

Many years ago, the Chi family had a lawsuit with a certain historical department regarding the Tomb of the Carefree King.

The department made it clear that the ancient tomb was not a private cemetery and needed to be returned to them for maintenance.

The Chi family repeatedly emphasized that it was their ancestral grave, and anyone else who dared to enter would have to step over the corpses of all the Chi family members to get in.

This matter caused a great stir in country A, and in the end, the Chi family won the lawsuit.

However, they had to provide some representative artifacts, all of which were displayed in the Xiaoyao King History Museum.

It can be considered that both sides have taken a step back. This is the property of the Chi family, and since they have gone this far, the history department should also know when to stop and not appeal.

However, a few days ago, it was said that some tomb raiders entered the tomb of the carefree king and even moved his coffin without permission, and were killed by hidden weapons.

Since someone died, the Chi family reported the incident to the police, and staff from the history museum applied to go down to inspect the extent of the damage to the cemetery and how it would be maintained.

For such ancient tombs, it's necessary to find people from the Xuanmen sect to go together, including Zhang Xuanmen and Cao Wu Xuanmen.

Wen Yanqing was classmates with Cao Wuxuan's senior brother. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Yanqing begged the other party to take him down to take a look.

After all, he's going to participate in a paranormal program this time, and with his identity as a member of the Xuanmen sect as a gimmick, he's sure to become a sensation.

Isn't that Qingyu just like that?

Otherwise, how could such a program possibly achieve such high viewership ratings?

Paranormal shows have become a ratings hit, even surpassing the most popular lifestyle variety shows.

A major reason is that there is a man named Qingyu here who claims to be the abbot of Xuanmen Temple.

Photography is not allowed in the ancient tomb, so Wen Yanqing only took pictures of the Taoist robe he was wearing at the time, as well as his permit and work ID for going down into the tomb.

They only reached the tomb entrance, which is the end of the tomb passage, and were not even shown the side chambers where burial goods were placed.

Even the abbot of Zhang Xuanmen only stood a dozen meters away to glance at the coffin inside. The rest of the coffin was guarded by the Chi family's bodyguards, and no one was allowed to go in.

But that was enough. When the program officially announced his name, Wen Yanqing posted on Weibo, and the post clearly showed photos of him visiting the ancient tomb.

This move indeed gained him hundreds of thousands of followers, who were all waiting for him, this disciple of the Xuanmen sect, to wreak havoc in the haunted inn.

As expected, his words immediately caused his fans to flood the screen with comments.

[My God, that's the tomb of the Carefree King! Qingqing is amazing; even the Chi family invited him to the cemetery.]

Qingqing is the best; not only is she beautiful, but she's also a member of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

[How come I've never heard of her before? Qingqing is still using a pseudonym, oh my god.]

[Of course, Qingqing is more low-key, unlike someone who seems to want the whole world to know he has intellectual disabilities, like growing up in the mountains—haha.]

[Pfft, isn't he some kind of abbot? If he's so powerful, why doesn't the Chi family invite him?]

[Haha, I knew that guy was a fake, just a marketing ploy. He has no talent whatsoever, besides his face, what else does he have?]

Why are Yu's fans silent? The Abbot is so powerful, how come he wasn't invited to the ancient tomb? Hahahaha!

Both debuted through talent shows, but although they debuted at different times, their resources were somewhat competitive. In addition, their managers didn't get along.

Both men are known for their handsome, traditional Chinese style, and their respective fanbases have often clashed.

Because Wen Yanqing has had some unflattering photos in the past, his fans often can't argue with others.

Now I can finally hold my head high and vent my anger, so I'm jumping around with all my might.

"Wow, Senior Wen is really amazing. I heard that the tomb of the Carefree King is very big. Is that true?" someone asked curiously.
