Chapter 89: Tian Yuan Dharma Assembly (VI)
Shan Gui was still immersed in the tension and didn't even listen carefully to the name of the netizen that Zong Yi was thanking. She was still rigidly applying the live broadcast skills that Zong Yi taught her in an attempt to master them.
So, we still don’t know the name of the top guy we met that day.
This live broadcast that Soichi had done on a whim was actually very short. However, this live broadcast was only to build momentum for the video to be released later, and to let Shan Gui get used to the feeling of standing in front of the camera in advance. He did not set any difficult goals. So it can be called a perfect success.
After the live broadcast of about ten minutes ended, it was already afternoon. Everyone present had wasted too much time because of Peng Ju's checkpoints. They hadn't eaten lunch yet and were already starving.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhong Yong, who had always been at odds with Zong Yi, unexpectedly did not leave first. This was because everyone had just passed a level together. Born into a noble family, Zhong Yong had a good family education, and the education he received from childhood told him that after receiving help, he should express gratitude to the person who provided the help.
Of course, Zhong Yong was referring to expressing his gratitude to the mountain ghost who stood up to Peng Ju.
Although she was disgusted by Zong Yi's exaggerated language and body movements in front of the camera, Zhong Yong still did not leave first. Instead, she stood aside awkwardly, waiting politely for Shan Gui to finish filming, and then stepped forward to express her gratitude solemnly: "Anyway, thank you for today. If you need the Zhong family in the future, just ask."
After saying this, Zhong Yong nodded slightly to Lu Ren as a greeting, then ignored Zong Yi who was shouting "What about me? What about me?" and walked towards the top of the mountain with A Da and A Er.
Zong Yi, who had already finished the live broadcast, was not going to let Zhong Yong reach the finish line first. He was only heard saying, "Don't start early!" while urging Lu Ren and others to catch up.
Zhong Yong turned around and said angrily: "What do you mean by running ahead? Do I need to run ahead when I am competing with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Yi and Zhong Yong looked at each other, and then began to run wildly up the mountain along the mountain road as if competing with each other, without considering the physical consumption at all, and they were determined to fight to the death.
They have never been willing to submit to each other since they were young, and over the years they have become accustomed to competing for superiority in everything.
So, Zhong Yong and Zong Yi took the lead, followed by A Da and A Er who were worried sick.
"Brother Yong, Young Master, be careful!"
"Yeah, don't let your blood sugar drop and you fall flat on your face. It's not worth it, my dear ancestors."
Further back in the group was the mountain ghost holding A Bing. She was digesting the knowledge points she had learned from her first live broadcast experience. She said to A Bing with great admiration, "I never thought that after only a few decades, humans have already developed animated portraits and can transmit them to very different people in real time. It's amazing ."
As a former ghost market merchant, A Bing has a certain understanding of modern technology. He said to the mountain ghost, "That's called a mobile phone. Before my shop in the ghost market was demolished, I had quite a few in stock. Speaking of which, you really should buy a mobile phone so that you don't have to go to other people's homes to borrow calls."
After listening to A Bing's words, Shan Gui felt that it made sense, so he decided to put the purchase of a mobile phone on the agenda.
Behind the two of them, Qilinzai and Lu Ren were holding hands and were responsible for covering their retreat.
At this moment, the Qilin cub was holding a mineral water bottle, curiously observing the little red spider in the bottle.
After saying "The second level will come to you tonight", Peng Ju, who had turned into a little spider, huddled in a corner of the bottle without speaking or moving. Even if the Qilin cub gently shook the mineral water bottle, it just crawled around like an ordinary spider.
But even so, Qilin cub was still observing the spider's behavior with great interest through the mineral water bottle. His excited look aroused Lu Ren's curiosity: "Why are you so serious today? Is there something wrong with this spider?"
Hearing Lu Ren's question, the Qilin cub shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I feel a smell coming from it that is like a human but not a human, like a demon but not a demon. It's quite strange."
After hearing this, Lu Ren recalled the conversation between Zong Yi and Zhong Yong, so he asked, "Is it because of the 'servitude' that Zong Yi mentioned?"
The Qilin cub tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe." Then he buried his head in studying his little red spider again.
Seeing that his little face was frowned, which looked like that of an adult who was concerned about the country and the people, Lu Ren had to hold back his laughter and reminded him to pay attention to the steps under his feet.
The Qilin cub agreed obediently, but his eyes still did not leave the little spider in the mineral water bottle.
The mountains were quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds. The group climbed up the stairs chattering, and after about another twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the main family home on the top of the mountain.
This is a Hui-style building with grey walls and green tiles. Behind the hollow carved gatehouse is a huge courtyard with water flowing into the hall.
From the traces of peeling wall and door frame, it can be seen that the door beams and bricks and tiles of the old house are antiques handed down from previous generations, but at the same time, the whole building has also undergone modern transformation, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows and modern electrical furniture are also filled in every corner of the old house.
This old clan house is very much in line with Lu Ren’s impression of a popular online homestay, perfectly blending the classic and the modern.
There were red lanterns hanging on the gatehouse and all the eaves of the house. Although it was still daytime and the lanterns were not lit yet, it looked very festive.
After entering the door, Zhong Yong took A Da and A Er away and parted ways with Zong Yi and the others.
Zong Yize led Lu Ren and the others in with ease, then greeted the manager "Auntie He", and led Lu Ren and the others around to the back of the old house.
Behind the old house is a group of newly built villas, also with gray walls and green tiles, but compared with the magnificent Hui-style buildings, these villas are just two-story single-family buildings. But the advantage is that in front of each small building, the designer has ingeniously built many unique small gardens with low bamboo fences, large pieces of pebbles and peculiarly shaped red maple trees.
Zong Yi led them into a small villa with the name "Ming Chan" written on the door, and asked them to choose a room: "Go to your room and rest for a while. Mother He will help us arrange for some clothes and food to be brought over later."
He then told Lu Ren, "Ah Ren, come with me to move the dining table from the room to the garden. This way, the video will look better."
Of course Lu Ren would not refuse.
When the two of them were struggling to move the dining table out, He's mother arrived with supplies.
So everyone, covered in spider silk residue and smelly sweat, decided to go back to their rooms to take a shower first, then thanked Mother He profusely and changed into the clothes she had sent them before gathering together.
Unexpectedly, what He Ma prepared for everyone was not casual clothes, but several sets of very suitable white Tang suits. The appearance was almost exactly the same as the morning exercise clothes of the old men in the park, but the fabric was comfortable and you could tell it was expensive just by touching it.
The air conditioning in the villa was turned on very high, so even in early winter, it didn't feel cold when wearing only training clothes.
Lu Ren said a little embarrassedly: "This is too much trouble for you. You are required to help us prepare clothes. I will return these clothes after I wash them."
Zong Yi said, "It's okay. In previous years, our family liked to give out training clothes as souvenirs, but few people were willing to accept them. Mother He is having trouble clearing out the training clothes that have been in stock for many years. Just accept them with peace of mind."
Lu Ren knew that what Zong Yi said must be exaggerated. But seeing Zong Yi's sincere eyes, Lu Ren did not insist on rejecting Zong Yi's kindness. He just worked harder in assisting the two of them in filming the video. As long as Zong Yi made a request, Lu Ren would complete it meticulously .
The main content of Soichi's filming today is eating shows and some gags. I have to say that Soichi is very suitable for this line of work. He is talkative and humorous, and he never lets words fall flat.
What Lu Ren didn't expect was that although the job of a self-media blogger looks easy, it is actually not simple. By the time they finished filming all the content according to Zong Yi's script, it was already dark.
Today's schedule was indeed tiring. Even someone with a good physique like Lu Ren could hardly cope with the workload of the day, let alone the pampered Zong Yi.
After a busy day, everyone decided to go back to their rooms to rest after eating dinner hungry.
After nightfall, the guests in the old Zong family mansion in the front yard, which had been there for some time, returned to their rooms. The mansion, which was once bustling with people, suddenly became deserted. The gray bricks and tiles in the daytime now exuded a decadent atmosphere like thick ink under the cover of night. At this moment, the red lanterns on the eaves had been lit, emitting a glowing red light in the dark night.
From a distance, the dark grey outline of the building and the scarlet light gave off an eerie feeling.
Echoing the flickering light of the lantern was the mineral water bottle that Kirin cub had casually placed on the bedside table. The little red spider inside it, which had been pretending to be dead, was now flashing a red glow.
