This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

Everyone watched quietly, observing.

After the ritual was completed, the cigarette in Ma Xiaoning's mouth was burning hot.

"Alright, the ritual to expel wandering ghosts is now complete."

At this moment, as the fireflies rose, the Taoist priest finished his ritual, and the unique aura of tranquility and solitude that belonged to him was replaced by something else.

Li Qing said with a smile, "Alright, it's time to settle the bill. One price, no credit."

Okay, I'm speechless.

Hu Jun then woke up with a start and was about to take out his money.

Ma Xiaoning took out the money, counted it, and gave it to Li Qing.

"I'll do it."

"Thanks."

Li Qing accepted the five hundred yuan and put it in his pocket.

Whether it was psychological or not, both Hu Jun and Ju Xue felt that the surroundings were much quieter and the restlessness they had felt during filming was gone.

Filming here doesn't seem so scary anymore.

This young Taoist priest looks young, and seems to have some skills.

At least the scene of fireflies flying around right after the ritual should...not be a coincidence.

Ma Xiaoning couldn't help but say.

"Speaking of which, young Taoist priest, do ghosts really exist in this world?"

At this moment, Li Qing didn't speak, but stared directly into Ma Xiaoning's eyes, making Ma Xiaoning feel a little uneasy, as did Hu Jun and Ju Xue.

Li Qing paused and then asked in return.

"If I say yes, are you afraid?"

Of course I'm scared! Who isn't?!

Who isn't afraid of ghosts and monsters?

Ma Xiaoning almost dropped his cigarette.

Hu Jun and Ju Xue's expressions also became somewhat strange and unpleasant.

Li Qing countered with a question.

"Then why are you afraid?"

"Because..." Ma Xiaoning couldn't answer this time. He couldn't really explain why he was afraid: "It's probably a fear and dread of the mysterious. Ghosts are things we can't see or touch."

Because of the fear of the mysterious and the unknown.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Then think about it carefully again. Every ghost you're afraid of is someone someone else longs to see but can never meet. With that in mind, are you still afraid?"

"They could be someone's parents, someone's friends, someone's children, someone's lovers. They long for each other, they look forward to seeing each other, having a drink, having a meal, and bragging during holidays."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

It seems that if ghosts really exist, they won't be scary anymore.

The atmosphere eased considerably.

"If you need anything in the future, you can call me at this number. I can do religious ceremonies, fortune telling, and even acting. Prices vary." Li Qing wrote down a phone number for Ma Xiaoning and Hu Jun.

"You can act too?"

"Yes, I can! My acting skills are pretty good," Li Qing said earnestly.

Ma Xiaoning was both amused and exasperated.

However, he was able to associate with Wang Baoqiang.

They should be around the same level.

He wouldn't even bother with minor contracts of this level.

but.

Thinking back to the scene of fireflies flying in the sky, Ma Xiaoning still put down the phone.

Surprisingly, filming tonight went exceptionally smoothly.

Whether it's Hu Jun or Ju Xue.

After finishing a day of filming, Feng Xiaoning returned to the house she bought in Hengdian and fell into a deep sleep.

Tonight, Feng Xiaoning surprisingly didn't have any nightmares, and she even forgot to take her sleeping pills before going to bed.

That night, he had a sweet dream.

...

On the way back, Li Qing sat on Wang Baoqiang's motorcycle.

The night is filled with colorful neon lights; after a busy day, the night is a time for release.

Despite his young age, Wang Baoqiang's motorcycle skills were exceptional, and he drove incredibly steadily.

At this moment, Wang Baoqiang spoke while riding his motorcycle.

"Hey bro, are there really ghosts in this world?"

Li Qing had not actually given a direct answer to Hu Jun and the others.

Wang Baoqiang wanted to know the answer.

"I don't know," Li Qing said honestly. "I've never seen it before, who knows?"

Never seen it before? Don't know it?

"Then how come you know all that feng shui stuff?" Wang Baoqiang asked, stunned. "And it's so amazing, even the fireflies flew up together!"

Li Qing said lazily.

"You can ride a motorcycle, but do you know how motorcycles are made?"

"Won't."

"That settles it then. That's the gist of it. Whether some things exist or not is actually not important..."

"Oh, okay."

Wang Baoqiang was actually somewhat disappointed.

"I really hope ghosts exist in the world."

"They are all afraid, but you are hopeful."

"Actually, I miss my grandpa a little."

"I miss the mutton and vermicelli soup my grandfather used to make, and the flatbreads he baked. If ghosts really exist, I want to see him."

"When I was little, he used to put me on his shoulders."

"When I stood up, the world seemed so small; when he put me on his shoulders, the world seemed so big! So incredibly big!"

The wind brushed against Wang Baoqiang's face, his youthful face glistening with tears.

His maturity in dealing with people on set makes it easy for people to forget his age.

This made Li Qing quite curious.

How old are you this year?

"I'm twenty."

"He's a year younger than me."

"elder brother."

Wang Baoqiang calls him "brother" quite smoothly.

Li Qing spoke, facing the summer breeze.

"Hmm... things will get better. Your grandfather will be happy to know how hard you're working."

Wang Baoqiang chuckled, recalling how he toiled like a slave on the film set, with everyone calling him "brother" and "sister."

"I want my parents, my grandma, and my older sister and brother to live a good life."

Wang Baoqiang grinned, looking quite innocent.

With intrinsic motivation, even the toughest days don't seem so tough anymore.

Li Qing said, resting his chin on his hand.

"How about we go get some skewers? Let's call Lao Jiang."

"Thanks, bro."

"What are you thanking me for? Without your introduction, we wouldn't have earned this five hundred yuan," Li Qing said with a smile. "Call me again next time there's a good opportunity like this."

Five hundred yuan for half a day is quite a bargain in terms of time cost. In the past, a ritual performed by two masters and disciples in a small county in the north would only cost around one hundred yuan.

It's true that making money in the entertainment industry is easy!

Then.

Li Qing called Jiang Chenggang and, upon hearing that there were skewers available, immediately said he wanted to go, muttering that he wanted to make up for the amount of mutton he had eaten last time.

After arriving at the barbecue stall, Wang Baoqiang sat down.

"Speaking of which, since you're so skilled in kung fu and feng shui, you must also know how to read faces, right?"

"Could you help me look at one?"

Wang Baoqiang chuckled.

"Um..."

Li Qing stroked his chin, looking at Wang Baoqiang's simple and honest face.

"Give me your bone structure, facial features, and birth date and time."

"Give it to me."

After some divination, Li Qing said, "You are destined to be associated with people surnamed Song and Ma. When you encounter people with these two surnames, you should not only stay away from them, but also avoid getting too close to them."

"oh oh..."

Wang Baoqiang firmly believed this.

The surname is Song, and the surname is Ma.

remember.
