Chapter 36: Reincarnated (Part 1)

June 9, 2023Ai Hrist

When the group competition in the afternoon started halfway through, only more than 4 million real-time online users were in the live broadcast room.

This was because the intermission lost a lot of viewers. Some people went to the bottom of the hot search entries to watch the excitement.

Five minutes after the latest help-seeking case ended, a wave of new entries rushed to the front row of hot searches.

#The Snake Immortal repaying gratitude#

#How ruthless can the phoenix man who eats his family?#

# Are there immortal animals exist in East Asia?#

Most of the hot topics under these hot searches were discussions and related to the contestants of Spiritual Affairs.

Fans of several contestants with good appearances and outstanding personal temperament skyrocketed.

Among them, Gu Zhisang was the one who rose the fastest.

Before the end of the four episodes, she gained nearly 10 million fans, without any moisture.

Such a terrifying storm of fandom has made many people in the circle envious. It was said that in private, various companies were asking who wrote her “show script”.

Even people from her company would check on Xiao Zhou occasionally, trying to win Xiao Zhou over.

Many companies even began to contact Li Chenghe, wanting to put their artists into the show, as flying guests, or directly be invited in the fourth season.

In just one month, “Spiritual Affairs” has transformed from a garbage variety show that even the 18th-tier artists in the circle don’t like, to a sweet pastry that various companies were vying for.

Looking at the wind direction on the Internet, a certain agent in the nanny’s car put down his phone: “Gu Zhisang turned over this time.”

 “People on the Internet don’t even think about it, what kind of Mystic Feng Shui Master can be created by the entertainment company! But so many people really believe it. I don’t like her crazy look, but let’s see how long can such a foolish person turn over!”

Sitting behind the car with her eyes closed, Yu Fengqing frowned.

Hearing her manager’s chatter, an extremely beautiful face gradually appeared in her mind.

Although she debuted on the same talent show as Gu Zhisang back then, as she developed better and better, everyone on the other side shouted and beat her.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Zhisang appeared on a variety show of metaphysics, she gradually turned around, and many fans and word-of-mouth reversed, which also had a certain impact on Feng Qing.

In the beginning, the blogger who was picked up by Gu Zhisang for cruelty to animals was her well-known big fan.

After the hot search came out, her agent was very angry, saying that Gu Zhisang’s team must have bribed people to bully her.

Yu Fengqing didn’t take it seriously, but concentrated on reading the script of “Floating Sea”.

The good luck since she was a child made her more than 90% sure of winning this role, but she failed that time.

Director Liu pushed all the companies, saying that the crew had no intention of changing roles, and it was only rumored by outsiders.

Knowing that her favorite actress Yu Tongqiu has passed the crisis, and there were further projects, Yu Fengqing was still very happy for her.

But at the same time, she felt a faint sense of strangeness and discomfort in her heart.

This was the first time she wanted something so much but didn’t get it.

It was like the good luck buff of Koi suddenly failed.

At that time, she saw that Yu Tongqiu had openly followed Gu Zhisang, and also took the initiative to interact with her on the Internet;

Her agent also mentioned it over and over again.

These days, as long as she opened the trending search, she could always see Gu Zhisang’s name, which made her feel a little annoyed.

The agent was still muttering: “If you want to set up some metaphysical persona, you have the skills in the first place. You are a ‘koi’. I should have given you more marketing choices in the first place…”

Yu Fengqing said impatiently: “Sister, don’t mention this matter anymore, even if it is marketing and scripts, not everyone can achieve this effect.”

What was more, they haven’t overturned yet.

The man surnamed Li has already been hammered to death online.

Because the Ma Family Group was a well-known enterprise in this city, the melons of the wealthy family have made netizens even more excited. In addition, Xiao Li was often in the limelight in college. Many people jumped out to break the news.

[Oh my god, he is such a person?! Because they got married not long after they graduated from college, many college classmates attended the wedding, which was very grand. We didn’t know Xiao Ma was a rich woman at that time, so we still felt emotional…]

[I am in the same class as Xiao Li, someone finally revealed his true face! This guy is just a glib old fritter. He participated in a provincial competition with his team. The work was done by me and my other two brothers. When it was time to show our work on stage, he asked the counselor to meet him in private. Then the final prize ended up in his hands.

My brothers and I refused to accept it, but he said that we are only bitter and jealous of him, which disgusted us!]

[Xiao Li came from our village, we all know him in that area. His old man, Uncle Li, is a very nice person. My father used to look down on him because he kept squeezing his father. Then 2 years ago, Uncle Li went to the city and disappeared for no apparent reason. Xiao Li brought back a bone ash jar and buried it in the mountains, without any funeral.

From then on, my father never looked up to him, and simply said: If he cannot be filial to his father, no matter how promising he is!]

[When we were in high school, he was dating some girls, but he only picked rich female students. I heard him ask them to buy him breakfast, water, and sneakers…]

As the material dug deeper and deeper, Xiao Li’s skin was completely peeled off.

Originally, Gu Zhisang’s black fans and internet trolls poured her muddy waters, saying that fortune-telling and metaphysics were feudal superstitions and that Gu Zhisang was using her influence to harm others.

After Xiao Li was branded as the unkind, unrighteous, and unfilial Phoenix Man, they were severely slapped in the face, so they pretend to be dead again.

At the same time, after watching this program, the ghosts of the underworld also started discussions in the underworld.

“This man’s heart is darker than a ghost. I’m sure he will have a reserved place in hell and stay here for 200 years.”

“Filial piety is the first thing to do. This kind of person who kills his father will not have a good life in the underworld.”

“That snake immortal is about to become a dragon, I’m envious. I don’t know when I will be able to cultivate into a big-time ghost…”

“Have you organized a group to go to this guy and give him nightmares in his dreams? Why don’t we let him experience the suffering of the underworld in advance?”

“By the way, didn’t his father die just a few years ago? Was he reincarnated? If he hadn’t been reincarnated, wouldn’t he be watching his son on the show underground?”

The discussion among the ghosts hanging upside down by the Santu River was in full swing. Among them was a dusty old ghost, who had a complicated expression and sighed.

The ghost next to him asked: “Brother Li, why are you frowning?”

The old ghost’s shoulders sank as he sniffed and said: “Well, to tell you the truth, the one who was revered by the snake immortal on the show just now is my son.”

This old ghost was Old Man Li.

After his death, there was no funeral, and there was no family member to give him offerings or burn paper for him during festivals. So he became the lowest and poorest ghost in the underworld.

Fortunately, he can’t feel pain and hunger after becoming a ghost. When he was alive, he was often in unbearable pain, but he died with ease.

Hearing what Old Man Li said, many gossip ghosts looked in Old Man Li’s direction with bright eyes, then bombard him with questions.

Just when Old Man Li felt a little embarrassed, a gray-faced yin messenger came and said in a rough voice:

“Li xx, the King of Hell from the Ten Palaces sent me to summon you.”

Old Man Li rubbed his hands: “May I dare to ask, sir, why is Lord Yan calling this little one?”

The Yin Envoy had a complex expression, and said: “You are lucky, little old man, the King of the Ten Temples of Hell is also following the program Spiritual Affairs!”

“You are not a person with great merit. According to the normal queuing time, you would have to wait for 7 years, 4 months, and 1 day to reincarnate, but now the time in front of you can be erased and you can reincarnate in advance. Plus because the snake you saved is about to turn into a dragon, it can barely be regarded as a second-class spiritual creature in the underworld. Since you have a good relationship with it, not only you can reincarnate, but you can be born to a well-known family. You will live a safe and worry-free in your next life!”

Old Man Li was dumbfounded.

Looking at the crowd of envious and eager ghosts around him, he found it a little unbelievable: “Really, my lord?”

“It’s true, you go to the reincarnation stone with me now.”

The ghost next to him said enviously: “Brother Li, you have a blessing in disguise. You will soon be reincarnated and live a better life, congratulations!”

“That’s right. You don’t have anything to do with your white-eyed wolf son anymore when you died, and even more so after reincarnation.”

“You are a human being and a ghost, so do your best!”

Under the persuasion of all the ghosts, Old Man Li let out a long breath, and slowly loosened his gloomy brows: “Yes…”
