It was about three or four meters above the ground. There was no way to climb up there, and they didn&#8217;t know how he had got there.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late autumn wind was blowing through the mountains, and chilly cold air blew on their necks. Ye Cang could not help sneezing and tightened his collar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three people who had a profound influence on the entertainment industry stood silently on the mountain road, listening to the sound effects of the game from the mobile phone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the leader&#8217;s mobile phone sent a message &#8220;victory&#8221;. He just put the mobile phone back in his pocket and jumped down from the mountain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In such a high place, he fell to the ground like a nimble cat lightly, without even changing his facial expression. At this moment, he appeared imposing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he stood in front of them, Shen Huai and the others could finally see his face clearly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was in his early twenties, his skin was white, his hair bound in a bun. His face was a little cold, and he looked aloof.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist hurriedly walked over. &#8220;Brother, there is something I need to trouble you with&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before he finished speaking, the Taoist priest glanced over the group of people and Shen Huai. He frowned slightly when he looked at Ye Cang. &#8220;A soul revived in a corpse?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai and Ye Cang were surprised. Who would have thought that he would be able to see Ye Cang&#8217;s identity at a single glance? Just with this skill alone, he was better than the old Taoist.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist looked at Ye Cang carefully from the top to the bottom. &#8220;Although it&#8217;s a corpse, it&#8217;s not affected by karma. That&#8217;s interesting&#8230;&#8221; he said, and walked towards Ye Cang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old Taoist quickly stopped him. &#8220;Elder Martial Brother, it&#8217;s not him&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist stopped, and then turned his eyes to Shen Huai and Pei Ran. Finally his eyes fell on Pei Ran. After a long time of concentration, his icy face showed a bit of surprise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without saying a word, the Taoist priest suddenly reached out to hold Pei Ran&#8217;s wrist. This time, the old Taoist priest didn&#8217;t have time to stop him, but he was blocked by Pei Ran.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this body was not Pei Ran&#8217;s original body, it retained his habits, memories, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and even the reflexes of his muscles.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest didn&#8217;t give up. He turned his hand and tried to grab Pei Ran directly, but Pei Ran took half a step back, while the other hand knocked on the Taoist priest&#8217;s wrist.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In just a few seconds, the two fought for several rounds.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The eyes of the Taoist were bright. &#8220;Good Kung Fu!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he said that, he no longer held back, but fought directly with Pei Ran.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai, Ye Cang: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old Taoist priest jumped to his feet in a hurry. &#8220;Elder Martial Brother! Why are you fighting with him?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest continued fighting hard, not paying him any attention.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest&#8217;s martial arts were not bad, but Pei Ran was born in a family of martial artists. He had received the most orthodox training since childhood. Although he switched to making movies later, he didn&#8217;t stop working hard on his Kung Fu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speed of the two men&#8217;s fight was very fast. Pei Ran was slightly better than the Taoist. He seized the flaw of the Taoist, and kicked him directly, but did not use much strength. The Taoist took a few steps back to disperse the force of the kick<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His fighting skill was hearty, like a cat with enough to eat and drink. His eyes fell on Shen Huai with condescension. He hummed. &#8220;It is just Ying Yang Eyes, it&#8217;s not a big deal!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His mood was somewhat complicated. It was a rare experience for him to be ignored so thoroughly. However, the experience of his childhood, coupled with Pei Ran&#8217;s claim that it was difficult to seal Ying Yang Eyes, made him a little hesitant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old Taoist read his mood, clapped his hands and explained, &#8220;I forgot to tell you that my elder martial brother also has Yin Yang Eyes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, even Pei Ran looked at the Taoist with surprise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest coughed softly. &#8220;They say Ying Yang Eyes are difficult to seal. It may not be easy for others to seal them by applying external force, but it&#8217;s a piece of cake for me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he said so, both Shen Huai and Ye Cang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were lucky this time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;But, although this matter is simple for me, it still has to match the time and date.&#8221; The Taoist priest frowned and said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not going to work today. Let me calculate for you later.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was not a big deal, as long as they could get rid of the Ying Yang Eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After saying this, the Taoist turned his eyes back to Pei Ran. \u201dHe&#8217;s not that strange, but you make me curious, reshaping the body with so much merit&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merit and virtue were not uncommon for spiritual practitioners, but it was the first time he saw merit so thick that it was breaking through the ways of heaven and was reshaped into a physical body.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest showed a shocked expression. He did not have as good eyesight as his elder martial brother. At that time, he hadn&#8217;t seen Pei Ran&#8217;s situation, so at the moment he couldn&#8217;t help looking at Pei Ran.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran smiled. &#8220;The Taoist priest has good eyesight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest snorted. Although there was no change in his expression, his eyes were obviously full of self-esteem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran&#8217;s smile deepened. &#8220;If the Taoist priest wants to seal my friend&#8217;s Ying Yang Eyes, we are bound to live here for a while and there would be many opportunities to meet in the future. I also want to ask the Taoist priest for advice. However, the most urgent thing is to ask the Taoist priest to help with my friend&#8217;s affairs first, will you?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After thinking about it, the Taoist thought it was reasonable, so he first led Shen Huai and Ye Cang into the house.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran looked at their backs and said to the old Taoist with a smile, &#8220;This Taoist priest has a lot of skills.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest was still immersed in Pei Ran&#8217;s physical reshaping and shocked by his merits. Hearing this, he subconsciously replied, &#8220;That is, my elder martial brother is called a spiritual genius that is born once in a century. My teacher said that he will achieve a lot in the future, and maybe even surpass him.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Pei Ran met Mingjing, he was also a young man about the same age as the Taoist priest. He was arrogant and liked fighting. He looked cold and hard to deal with. But if he heard a few good words, he would be like a meek cat that was petted. His face was still haughty, but he had quietly exposed his soft belly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Pei Ran came back to the world of living, he saw many strange things. It was hard to see something familiar, so it made him feel much better.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that Pei Ran remained silent, the Taoist priest forcibly complimented himself, &#8220;Although elder martial brother&#8217;s talent is high, he doesn&#8217;t like calculating, so I&#8217;m still good at divination.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Oh.&#8221; Pei Ran took a look at the closed door through which Shen Huai and the others had just walked in.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old Taoist was slapped on the face on the spot. Rather embarrassed, choking his throat, he said, &#8220;This was just an accident. Others I give 100% accuracy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Is that so?&#8221; Pei Ran smiled. &#8220;How about doing divination for me?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old Taoist: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t bully people like this!!!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest quickly calculated the time. It was five days later and Shen Huai would have to stay there <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This\u00a0 wasn&#8217;t long, so Shen Huai asked Ye Cang to come back first. After all, he had nothing to do now, but Ye Cang still had work to deal with. If he really stayed here for such a long time, he was afraid Ming Wei would explode.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Ye Cang was reluctant, he also understood that what Shen Huai said was right. They weren&#8217;t sticky people, so Ye Cang bought a ticket to go back to Zhongjing, leaving only Shen Huai and Pei Ran at the temple.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest tenaciously invited them to stay in the Taoist temple f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or this period of time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After thinking about it, Shen Huai simply donated a large sum of money to the Taoist temple as an accommodation fee.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old Taoist narrowed his eyes happily, and\u00a0 became more and more enthusiastic about Shen Huai. He quickly cleaned up the best guest house and gave it to Shen Huai and Pei Ran to live.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist temple had a quiet environment. Since Shen Huai returned to China four years ago, he had rarely had such a relaxed and comfortable leisure time, making him very relaxed. He thought that if he had the opportunity to stay in such a place with Ye Cang for a while, it would not be a bad thing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side, the Taoist priest and Pei Ran were fighting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest hadn&#8217;t even played games these days. Every day, he concentrated on dueling with Pei Ran. He had Taoist skills and eyesight, but his martial arts were not so good. Pei Ran was just the opposite of him. Not only was he knowledgeable, he even knew a bit Taoist Kung Fu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the people in the Taoist temple were middle-aged. The Taoist priest was respected as their elder martial brother. He had to maintain the dignity of an elder martial brother in daily life and would not smile easily. But he was only a young man after all, and still had the same desires as his peers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he knew that Pei Ran was reshaped and shouldn\u2019t be young, Pei Ran&#8217;s appearance was too deceptive. In recent days, the relationship between the two people improved a lot, and the Taoist priest gradually revealed his true nature.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist was somewhat reluctant to give up and said, &#8220;I think you have a sense of closeness to Taoism. It&#8217;s better to stay in our Taoist temple. Even if you can\u2019t become a monk, you can be a layman.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also had an idea. &#8220;When my master comes back, let him accept you as a disciple. You can be my junior brother. I will support you and nobody would dare to bully you!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran said in his heart, Your master&#8217;s Kung Fu was learned from me in the first place. If you really want to talk about it, you will have to call me Master.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he just smiled and shook his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest was not convinced.&#8221;Don&#8217;t you like us, Taoist monks?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How could it be?&#8221; Pei Ran said, &#8220;I just want to do more things.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist asked curiously, &#8220;What things?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, Pei Ran did not hesitate, like when he had faced Shen Huai before, but said firmly, &#8220;I want to make a movie.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist frowned. &#8220;Become a star? It is&#8230; to make money?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist priest usually traveled with his teacher, but he still played with his mobile phone a lot, and he vaguely knew some things, such as the fact that stars made a lot of money.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;But Taoists make a lot of money too!&#8221; the Taoist priest said unconvinced. &#8220;Don&#8217;t look at our dilapidated Taoist temple. In fact, my master has a lot of money.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and said, &#8220;Look at my balance, it&#8217;s all earned by me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran laughed. &#8220;That&#8217;s not the same.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What&#8217;s the difference?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran paused and then said, &#8220;It is probably more than that. Even if I have enough money for a lifetime, I still have no way to give it up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist frowned. &#8220;This is obsession.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran nodded. &#8220;Yes, this is my obsession.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist was still young. In fact, he was not particularly able to grasp the deep feelings in Pei Ran&#8217;s words because for him, whether it was spiritual practice or games, it was almost the same. Spiritual practice was very simple, and the games were also very simple. Master asked him to practice, so he practiced, the games were fun, so he played them, but he could easily let go. It would not be that hard.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The firmness in Pei Ran&#8217;s eyes was something he had never experienced before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he could also see that although Pei Ran seemed gentle and talkative, as long as he made a decision, no one could persuade him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the Taoist priest stopped trying to persuade him, but still looked a little dispirited.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran saw this and said, &#8220;When I make a movie, please go with me to see it next time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Taoist reluctantly adjusted his mood. &#8220;Alright.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time, he was curious about things other than games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He secretly decided to see what it was, so people like Pei Ran were willing to be trapped in it, unable to escape.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>Edited by : LuLu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The place where the path lead to was a platform protruding from the mountain wall.
