Chapter 1377: Opening the Heavenly Eye
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Wu Haoming left, Yang Kun saw that Shenglin’s complexion really wasn’t good and his eyes were faintly red. Seeing that Shenglin’s condition was very bad, Yang Kun hurriedly consoled him. “Shenglin, after filming in the evening, we’ll immediately go to Master Chi’s place and ask her. Maybe the matter isn’t as serious as Brother Wu says.”
That being said, there was no trace of a smile on Yang Kun’s face. At that moment, he felt even more uneasy than before. What on earth did Brother Wu mean by that?
Yang Kun really didn’t dare give Shenglin any pressure now. He comforted him by reminding him about the talismans which Master Chi had given to him before. Seeing Shenglin’s complexion improve a little, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ruan Shenglin originally wanted to say something, but seeing Director w.a.n.g send someone over to call him over to film, he could only leave first.
After Ruan Shenglin left, Yan Zhengming, who had been holding back for a long time, walked up to Yang Kun after getting out of the RV and scolded him coldly in a low voice. “Kun’er, what’s wrong with you and Shenglin? Don’t let anyone gossip about you. Director w.a.n.g hasn’t said anything, so how can you dare leave the village?”
!!
Yan Zhengming still wanted to scold Yang Kun more, but when he saw Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu come down from the RV behind him, he stopped and had them leave first, indicating that he still had something to say to Yang Kun.
“Okay, Brother Yan, we’ll leave first!” Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu didn’t have to think to know what Brother Yan was going to say to Brother Kun. Speaking of which, they were also a bit shocked when they heard someone persuade Brother Kun and Brother Ruan to leave the village.
What shocked them even more was that Brother Kun and Brother Ruan were really tempted.
If anyone else found out about this, it would be terrible. The two of them were on good terms with Brother Kun and Brother Ruan, so they naturally didn’t want them to make such a rash decision. It wasn’t good for the two of them to try and persuade Brother Kun, so it was better to let Brother Yan do it.
In any case, they didn’t want Brother Kun and Brother Ruan to make such an unwise decision.
After Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu left, Yan Zhengming’s face darkened again. He didn’t care how unsightly Yang Kun’s face was at that moment. He made up his mind to scold him until he woke up. He continued coldly, “You should rethink leaving the village unless you’ve really thought things through and don’t want to hang around in the circle any longer!”
He now really felt that Kun’er and Shenglin had been poisoned by that young lady. It had been about buying talismans before, and now, it was about leaving the village.
How dare they think about leaving the village?
Yan Zhengming had been in this circle for a long time and knew very well that no matter how popular an actor was, they had no right to speak. In the end, it was the director and producer who had the final say.
If Shenglin and Kun’er really dared to leave the village just like that, their reputations in the circle would definitely be ruined in the future. If word of this spread, public opinion wouldn’t be good either.
That was why he was so angry after listening to them talk about leaving the village. However, he had good self-restraint and wouldn’t scold outsiders. He could only wait for the other party to leave before he scolded these two until they woke up.
Yang Kun’s eyes were very complicated. How could he not know that Yan Zhengming was doing this for his and Shenglin’s own good? In the end, the other party didn’t believe in Master Chi’s abilities, but he and Shenglin were well aware of what she was capable of.
Seeing that Yang Kun still didn’t look like he had woken up at all, Yan Zhengming was simply furious and wanted to curse wildly. No, after filming in the evening, he had to pay that young lady a visit and set her straight so that she wasn’t thinking of unscrupulous ways to scam people all day long.
On the other side, Feng Yuanlin was worried about Shuyan, so he followed her. She said that she had something to do, but she just wandered aimlessly around the village and kept staring at the villagers along the road.
Feng Yuanlin’s eyes were filled with doubt, but he had a good disposition. He looked at Shuyan wandering along the road expressionlessly, and thought for a moment.
It just so happened that they were close to the village temple. Because it was the birthday of the True Buddha tomorrow, the temple was especially lively. Almost all the villagers had inadvertently gathered here, and they didn’t stop kowtowing in front of the temple.
Feng Yuanlin suggested that they walk to the temple. The more people there were, the livelier it was. Although he was a little wary of the True Buddha or whatever in this village, he also wanted to take a look at the customs of Dashan Village.
Chi Shuyan followed Brother Feng to the temple. People continually poured into the temple, and all sorts of firecrackers were lit.
Feng Yuanlin lamented at how obsessed the villagers were in their faith toward that so-called True Buddha.
The two stopped not far from the entrance to the temple. Feng Yuanlin spoke to Shuyan in an attempt to improve her mood, but not only did Chi Shuyan’s face not improve, it darkened again at the flow of people going in and out of the temple.
“Shuyan, why do you think the people in this village are so obsessed with this True Buddha? What on earth is this True Buddha?” Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but ask softly in alarm when he saw many villagers knocking their heads on the ground outside the temple until their foreheads turned black and blue.
Seeing that Shuyan didn’t reply for a long time, Feng Yuanlin continued to ask in a low voice, “Shuyan, are we really leaving the village tonight?”
Chi Shuyan still didn’t reply. Instead, she circulated her spiritual energy and suddenly opened her Heavenly Eye.
When she looked again, sure enough!
The ‘people’ bustling in and out the temple were covered in black cadaveric qi. Their faces were deathly white and dull, and their movements were mechanical as they squeezed up against each other.
Apart from being a little excited when they entered the temple, their expressions were stiff on the whole.
Chi Shuyan’s face grew uglier. She closed her Heavenly Eye and stared unblinkingly at the temple without saying anything.
She should have been suspicious before at the fact that there was the sound of birds chirping around the village, but not a single one could be seen. Also, there had been small fish in the brook which Xiao Shan had drunk from, but not a single one could be caught.
If she wasn’t wrong, it was very likely that someone had long set up a high-level illusion on Dashan Village. It was very likely that this village which they were in was a huge cemetery.
It was no wonder that she couldn’t find a pulse for any of the villagers before. However, what puzzled her was that the ‘dead’ in this village were too normal. If she hadn’t opened her Heavenly Eye, they were practically no different from normal people in broad daylight.
Who on earth was hiding the truth of this village, and why was the person behind the Buddha statue letting outsiders enter the village?
Feng Yuanlin thought that Shuyan wasn’t going to reply to him. He was about to shut up and not disturb her, when he heard Shuyan suddenly say in a light tone, “Brother Feng, do you think these people look like dead people?” Without waiting for Feng Yuanlin to respond, Chi Shuyan dropped another bombsh.e.l.l. “I’m going to enter this temple tonight to investigate!”
