Everyone present was a little confused, but the wild boar demon clearly wasn’t joking. Qiu Guokai took Tuan Tuanyi’s phone and took a look. He found that the prairie peccary in the photo was indeed more handsome than an ordinary wild boar, but it still looked like a pig. “…it…it also turned into a demon?”
The wild boar spirit asked, “How should I know?”
Qiu Guokai said incredulously: “If it hadn’t become a spirit, it would have been just an ordinary pig. Now you have gained a human form…”
The boar demon was even more incredulous than him: “I have a human form, but my taste is still normal. How could I possibly like a human with long arms and legs, who looks so weird?”
Qiu Guokai thought about it and it made sense. He couldn’t help but worry. The contract had already been signed. What if the wild boar spirit caused a love scandal?
Ordinary young actors were at most photographed by paparazzi having a secret meeting with a female star late at night, but what if their own artist was photographed harassing and molesting a wild boar in the Beijing Forest Zoo…
Thinking of this, he was so worried that his hair almost fell out. Tuanyi’s thinking was different, and he comforted him, “It’s impossible. My junior brother said that the steppe peccary came from the United States. It is a world-class endangered species and the top attraction of the forest zoo. Our pig brother is a local native pig and only a junior high school student. They are not a good match. Anyway, I don’t think much of this relationship.”
Qiu Guokai: “………………”
Wei Xi listened to the wild boar demon mumbling about the feeling of first love, and turned to his second disciple and asked, “What is love?”
The second disciple beside him looked at him deeply, and his eyes seemed to be frozen.
Wei Xi’s chest inexplicably tightened when he was looked at by him, and his emotions seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible big hand.
….
The crew’s problem was finally solved. After staying here for so many days, it was time for everyone to leave.
After discovering the monsters, the Taoist priests in the hotel were in a collective dilemma of having nothing to do. They were all eager to go home. This was probably the most speechless ritual they had ever experienced in their lives.
The crew was still laughing foolishly——
“Hey, hey, after the ritual was completed, our group really hasn’t had any more supernatural incidents. Maybe there really was a ghost haunting us. Now the ghost has been driven away.”
“I watched the group scene just now, and the filming process was going smoothly. Where did Mr. Qiu invite those extras from? They are so beautiful!”
“What’s more important is that Teacher Yan didn’t even hold us back. I heard from my friend that after the scene, she told her assistant that she had hallucinations while acting and thought that the extra she was acting with was really a ghost. It was really different when she was immersed in the role. She acted the frightened state so well!”
The many Taoist priests who were watching Fang Xiaojie wandering around the crew in silence: “…”
Fang Xiaojie didn’t want to be liberated, so the Taoist priests originally wanted to take him away after the matter was settled, at least to prevent him from staying in the crew and disturbing the filming. However, Director Wang didn’t mind and said that he could stay.
“It does have some talent, and more importantly, it has a great passion for filming and acting. Nowadays, it’s rare to come across someone who pursues art so purely like it… It’s a ghost, let it stay here and learn more.”
When he said this, the serious director was smoking a cigarette with a serious look on his face, while Fang Xiaojie was squatting beside his trouser legs like a fanboy, looking very obedient.
The Taoist priests who were traveling with them had spread the word privately that the mountain spirits had signed a long-term performing contract with Taicang Sect and Boss Qiu. So they could only ignore it and let it go.
Taicang Sect was… hard to describe in every aspect.
Perhaps the news that the crew’s troubles were resolved after the ritual spread, so before everyone left, a staff member of the hotel hurriedly stopped them and said that the hotel owner had come specially and wanted to meet with everyone.
The boss was a half-bald man with a shiny head. After arriving, he rubbed his forehead and worried for a long time, then he vaguely mentioned his purpose of coming –
“Master Taoists, have you found any problems with the feng shui or other aspects of our hotel after living here for so many days?”
Everyone thought about it. This hotel was located near the mountains and the water. The location was quiet, the surroundings were full of vitality, and the decoration was quite standard. So they all shook their heads and said, “No problem.”
The boss became even more worried, with a bitter look on his face: “That…that shouldn’t be the case.”
He narrated again in a distressed tone: “I have heard from the foreman that all the masters must have discovered that the seventh floor of our hotel is not open for accommodation. To be honest, the seventh floor has luxury suites that we specially reserved when designing, but since more than half a year ago, problems have continued to occur in the suites. At first, there were customers who reported that the TV and audio turned on automatically in the middle of the night, and later the waiter also found that all kinds of strange noises would be made when the room was vacant. Not only that, sometimes when the housekeeping department went in to check, they would find that all kinds of equipment in the room seemed to have been used, and the beds and rooms were a mess, but the surveillance did not capture anyone entering. During that time, people in the hotel were in a panic, and later the seventh floor was completely locked, but even so, sometimes people on the sixth floor could still hear noises upstairs. If it weren’t for this… we wouldn’t have left a good floor of luxury suites vacant like this, and we wouldn’t even dare to open them during the peak holiday season. Every day is a loss.”
Everyone had heard rumors about the seventh floor of the hotel when they checked in. Now that they heard more specific details, their expressions became serious.
The boss sighed, “I’ve always had this in my mind, but I didn’t dare to tell anyone. Who would dare to stay in our hotel if I told them? So when I heard that the masters had solved the problem of the crew downstairs, I immediately came here. I wonder if the masters can also help us solve the problem before they leave?”
This was part of the monks’ duties, and of course no one wanted to refuse, but at the same time they felt a little embarrassed.
After all, they had been living here for several days, and they really didn’t find any ghosts in the hotel other than Fang Xiaojie. Logically speaking, if there were any, they wouldn’t be able to ignore any clues.
The boss was a bit busy. Not long after, he picked up the phone and ran outside the meeting room to listen. Everyone in the room exchanged glances, but no one could figure out what was going on. However, Lu Wenqing unexpectedly discovered that the wild boar spirit sitting next to Wei Xi had a strange expression on his face.
The wild boar met his gaze, and his expression looked a little embarrassed and annoyed: “What are you looking at!”
Now everyone’s eyes turned to Taicang Sect. Tuan Tuanyi was confused for a moment, then he recalled his boss’ words and suddenly thought of something. He also stared at the wild boar spirit: “Half a year ago? I remember you also…”
Before he could finish, the boar demon shouted confidently, “What’s wrong? This place was originally my home, but they blew it up to build a hotel. The land is mine, so what’s wrong with me staying here for a while?”
Everyone: “………………”
Tuan Tuanyi’s emphasis was different: “You can’t disturb the guests’ rest. How can you turn on the TV in the middle of the night?”
Wild boar demon: “Can you blame me? There’s no electricity in the rooms without guests!”
“Oh, yes.” Tuan Tuanyi was convinced, “The rooms here do have power supply via card.”
Everyone: “…”
The boar demon snorted coldly, “You think I want to come here? The sheets and quilts in their hotel haven’t been changed for three days. The cleaning lady even mops the bathtub and wipes the cups with a rag. It’s so dirty. I only come here to stay when there’s a party occasionally.”
Everyone: “…”
Wei Xi looked at his second apprentice: “Use a rag to wipe the cup?”
The second apprentice seemed to have brushed his teeth with a cup.
The second disciple’s face turned pale.
Not only did he brush his teeth with a toothbrush, Wei Xi also took a bath in the bathtub.
After soaking, they still kissed and touched each other.
The others also quickly recalled in disbelief whether they had used the hotel’s teacups and bathtubs. Some Taoist priests were probably tricked and began to retch with pale faces.
