(The little Taoist priest's story from Shanhai Inn. The concept has changed from an infinite-flow story (sorry, I really couldn't write it) to a supernatural fantasy.)
Description:
On the first day of filming the travel variety show Take a Look at Our Great Land, a figure was spotted in front of an old-fashioned Taoist temple on a mountain.
Pale and beautiful, with striking features, he stood in the light and shadows between day and night, like a bewitching ghost from a tale of the strange.
#Wushang Mountain Bewitching Ghost#
It trended in less than an hour.
A quick inquiry revealed that he wasn't a bewitching ghost but Lin Xin, the newly appointed young master of Wushang Temple.
.
To make the show more popular, the director personally sent him an invitation.
Lin Xin: "I..."
"Two million yuan in appearance fees."
Looking at the dilapidated, run-down temple that desperately needed repairs, Lin Xin smoothly changed "I won't" to "I'm in."
Before the livestream began:
Viewers: "An unknown newcomer bought his way onto the show? What beautiful ghost? It's all just publicity, right?"
Viewers: "I'm actually crying. My fave was supposed to join the show, but the moment this guy showed up, he was out. Read between the lines."
Viewers: "I feel so bad for my fave. Can this nepotism hire, who's only got a pretty face, just leave already?"
After the livestream began:
Nobody expected a nice, relaxing travel show to turn into a horror show.
A gloomy haunted house deep in the mountains, a mysterious village in Miao territory, a chilly temple in an abandoned village... Ghosts and monsters lurked in the shadows, their malicious eyes following the group wherever they went.
The comments were full of screams, and the guests fled in panic. Beneath a sky blanketed in dark clouds, the pale young man stood clear-eyed, talismans swirling around him as he cut through ten thousand ghosts with a single gleaming sword.
Viewers: "Violent beauty is the best!"
Viewers: "I was about to be scared to death, but then I saw this big shot and suddenly felt safe. Waaaaah!"
Viewers: "I heard the little Taoist wants to retire after filming this show? Absolutely not! You can all leave, but not him! Get the voting started and make him debut!"
.
Drawing talismans, telling fortunes, driving away evil spirits, warding off bad energy, examining feng shui...
Lin Xin had only wanted to earn a little incense money and then laze around, but he suddenly became famous.
Everyone wanted a fortune told by him, and if possible, they'd like to date him too.
Faced with a steady stream of admirers, Lin Xin carefully wiped the dust off the spirit tablet in his arms and smiled. "I'm already spoken for. No dates."
A pair of scarlet eyes opened in the darkness.
A shadow so dense it seemed almost solid bent down and gently touched his neck.
"Sickly beauty, violent exorcist bottom x possessive, obsessive evil spirit top"
"The top and bottom are bound by a ghost marriage"
