Magical instruments appeared one after another, and many Taoist priests began to work under the watchful eyes of the crew members.
Since Fang Xiaojie was ruled out as a suspect, everyone was not sure what kind of trouble the “Scream” crew had encountered. Therefore, after discussion, they decided to blindly perform a ritual for the dead targeting the wandering dead souls in Youdu Mountain. In fact, this was quite scientific. After the dead souls were saved, there would be no more ghosts to haunt them.
Fang Xiaojie knew the contents of the ritual in advance and ran away, hiding faster than a dog. Before he became a big star, he didn’t want to be reborn at all.
At the moment, a row of Taoist robes gathered together, which should have been a ridiculous scene, but the Taoist priests who came were all real kung fu masters. Everyone stood quietly and looked far-sighted, which filled the feudal superstition scene with a weird solemnity. Qiu Guokai did not intend to conceal the news, and the crew members on the scene took out their mobile phones to secretly take pictures and videos.
A while ago, the haunted scandal on their own crew was widely reported and had a very bad impact. They were worried that their idol’s fans would also be very resentful about this, so after asking Qiu Guokai, many people boldly uploaded the photos to their social media.
It not only created a topic of discussion but also reassured fans who were worried about their idols.
….
As soon as the photo was posted, it immediately received countless comments from fans, many of whom had a look of???
Oh my god, the crew of “Scream” is really amazing. They actually invited so many Taoist priests to perform rituals.
However, most fans who followed the crew members’ accounts knew what had happened in the crew recently. Although the various haunted incidents sounded like fairy tales, they were still quite serious in the eyes of fans. Their idols were still in there, what if something really happened?
All major fan sites and gossip marketing accounts reposted the photos of the crew’s performance. Some found it funny, while others were speechless. After the popularity spread, some people noticed several eye-catching yet unfamiliar faces in the photos.
The three master and apprentices of Taicang Sect stood in the crowd, not wearing Taoist robes (because they didn’t have any), and their appearance was quite conspicuous. Tuan Tuanyi was still okay, although he was tall and handsome, but he was not very eye-catching in the entertainment industry. But the handsome faces of Wei Xi and Shuo Zong could not suppress the limelight. Even though they were surrounded by celebrities, they quickly stood out from the crowd. In the photos and videos taken by the crew members from different angles, these two people looked handsome from all angles, whether they were shot from the side, front, up, or down, so much so that the netizens who forwarded the photos were extremely surprised –
Who are these two people? Are they actors from the crew? Why didn’t I hear about them when the official announcement was made?
No one really recognized Shuo Zong’s face, but Wei Xi was different. After the post was forwarded and expanded, people gradually recognized him.
Isn’t this the leader of the Taicang Sect who has been very popular on Weibo recently? Why did he go to film a movie?
Immediately, people who thought they had guessed the truth began to sneer and ridicule.
[I was wondering why the Taicang Sect has suddenly become so popular recently. Every day people say that the talismans they sell are so powerful that they sound like the real thing. It turns out that they are just hyping it up for a movie!]
Some of Wei Xi’s original fans also recognized his face and were so moved that they burst into tears. Oh my God, their idol actually joined the crew of “Scream”. Was this a sign that he wanted to continue to develop his acting career?
The two groups started fighting soon after. The crew member who sent the photo was also confused. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he quickly picked up the phone to explain.
“These masters are not members of our crew. They are just like other Taoist priests. Although they are dressed in casual clothes, they were invited to perform rituals!”
The two groups of people in the air filled with smoke immediately stopped fighting: “………………”
The fans fell into a long trance after receiving the response. Many people had previously thought that Wei Xi’s so-called Taicang Sect was just a joke, but now they had been invited to perform rituals, and it was obvious that they were really running a Taoist temple…
Those who mocked the Taoist temple felt embarrassed when they learned the truth, but they were also extremely confused. Isn’t it too much for an actor to switch directly to become a Taoist priest? Is it really possible to cross professions so far?
These people were incredulous and skeptical and immediately declared: “He must be a charlatan!!”
But they were slapped in the face again not long after, because the other onlookers who were watching the crew and gossiping had already shown their magical powers and started investigating the origins of the many Taoists on the scene.
Someone even directly threw out a group photo taken after a previous meeting of the local Taoist Association in Beijing and compared them one by one. Except for Wei Xi and his group who they couldn’t figure out the details of for the time being, the old Taoist priest on the far left of the long table was from Zhimi Temple in the west of Beijing, and the middle-aged man on the far right was from Fengnian Temple in the east of Beijing. The people in the middle were not completely unknown either. Liandu Temple, Shenxian Palace… Each of them had a name in the local Beijing and was approved by the state. They couldn’t be more formal.
As for Taicang Sect…
Although they didn’t know when this Taoist temple appeared, since they could perform rituals with such a formal group of Taoist priests and could interact naturally with many masters in photos and videos without being rejected. They obviously couldn’t be swindlers.
Everyone put aside their doubts and immediately shifted their focus to topics such as “Are the requirements for becoming a monk so high these days?” and “The most handsome Taoist priest in history, sexy practices online.”
But no matter how much they joked, it was obvious that the authenticity of Taicang Sect had been confirmed.
Even the fans who used to call Taicang Sect “Master” all the time on Weibo were surprised. Although they did not regard Taicang Sect as a charlatan organization, they never thought that this sect that appeared inexplicably and behaved in a strange way was actually a serious sect with a high status among the major religious sects.
