Song Shuhang said, "Your teacher is unexpectedly a daoist?" In other words, this western monk was actually a western daoist priest?
"Yes... actually, before I came to China, I always wanted to become a senior monk of the Shaolin Temple. Unfortunately, due to a freak combination of factors, I ended up becoming a daoist. But even now, I still have a buddhist heart, "the western monk said with a resolute expression on his face.
Halfway through his sentence, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, what my teacher taught me was sword techniques, and his mental cultivation technique was also daoist. Even the daoist robe he gave me was also a daoist robe."
After hearing the words of the western monk, Song Shuhang felt as though he had found a bosom friend.
He was the opposite of the western monk. He wanted to become a scholarly disciple or a daoist cultivator. He wanted to practice sword techniques. But due to a freak combination of factors, his first cultivation technique was buddhist, and the daoist robe he got was a kasaya. He didn't have any talent in sword techniques, but his talent in saber techniques was off the charts.
"I can understand your feelings." Song Shuhang said with deep emotion, "I'm the opposite of you. I want to become a scholarly or daoist cultivator, but most of the cultivation technique I practice is buddhist, and I'm good at saber techniques. Moreover, the daoist robe I got is an emerald-green kasaya... eh?"
After saying this much, Song Shuhang paused.
In front of him, the eyes of the western monk also lit up. Soon after, the two of them looked at each other.
Next, they quietly moved to a corner of the hall.
The western monk pointed at the handsome daoist robe he was wearing and said, "This daoist robe is something my teacher, Daoist Priest Wu Yinzi, obtained when he was young while adventuring. It's a precious daoist robe of the Second Stage. It was weaved using the silk of the spirit beast 'golden spider', and it's very light. After wearing it, swords and sabers won't be able to injure you. Even if you don't activate the defensive formation, you can block bullets from small firearms. If you activate the formation, you'll be able to move freely amidst a rain of bullets. Apart from that, the daoist robe has a 'Turtle Absorption Formation' attached to it. After activating it, you won't be affected by the poisonous mist! I named it 'Golden Bell Shield Daoist Robe'! "
Luckily, Daoist Priest Wu Yinzi didn't know this name, or else he would have vomited blood.
Song Shuhang took out the jasper kasaya from his size-reducing purse and introduced it. "This kasaya is also a treasure-grade defensive kasaya of the Second Stage. It's made from the silk of a spirit beast, the Jasper Silk. It's impervious to fire and water, as well as swords and spears. After wearing it, even without activating the defensive array formation, it could block bullets from small firearms. After activating the defense, the hail of bullets was like entering an uninhabited area! Not only that, but it also had a password lock and anti-theft function. Once it was put on, it could not be taken off without a password. Even the elites from the Penniless Thief Sect can't break it! "
The two of them smiled in tacit understanding.
"Excellent, excellent!" The western monk joined his palms together.
"Wonderful, wonderful." Song Shuhang smiled.
Then, the western monk took off the daoist robe he was wearing without any hesitation and gave it to Song Shuhang. He was wearing buddhist monk clothes under his daoist robe. All that was missing was the kasaya!
Song Shuhang also gave the jasper kasaya to the western monk, and told him the password to unlock it.
The two of them were very satisfied with the transaction.
… …
… …
After the transaction was completed, the western monk asked out of curiosity, "Benefactor, I heard on the way here that Mister Jacob was going to shoot a movie for someone. Benefactor, do you have any relationship with the investor of the movie?"
"Yes, I'm one of the investors," Song Shuhang replied with a smile.
"In that case, benefactor, do you lack a small role in the movie? Can I play one?" the western monk asked.
"You want to play a small role?" Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and his heart lit up.
Next, he would play the role of Senior Brother Gao Sheng. He had a plan … if his acting skills weren't good enough, he would be able to pass the role of Senior Brother Gao Sheng to other fellow daoists.
However, it seemed that none of the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group wanted to play this role.
Such being the case, the western monk had come at the right time.
If he couldn't play the role of Senior Brother Gao Sheng at the appointed time, wouldn't the western monk be able to replace him?
"No problem." Song Shuhang patted his chest, and said to the western monk, "I'll try my best to get you a big role after the movie starts."
"Thank you, benefactor," the western monk said excitedly.
Not far away, Venerable White held his chin and looked at Song Shuhang and the western monk.
He had also heard the conversation between the two parties.
Speaking of which … was it possible that Song Shuhang accepted a bribe and gave the western monk an opportunity to play the role? Was this an unspoken rule?
… …
… …
Time flew by.
The fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that were going to participate in the movie had already arrived.
Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist had also arrived. Was Thrice Reckless Mad Saber still alive?
At this time, the majority of the fellow daoists were playing with Cave Lord Snow Wolf's wolf cub. The snow-white wolf cub couldn't assume human form yet, and was very cute.
After arriving, Beijing Sanren asked, "Senior Brother Gao Sheng's role has already been decided to be played by Song Shuhang's Little Friend, right?"
Fairy Lychee: "Yes, the name of Song Shuhang's Little Friend is written on the list of actors."
Beihe Sanren nodded and wondered if he should discuss it with the others and prepare a wreath for Little Friend Song Shuhang.
* * * * * *
In the afternoon, 2 PM.
All the members of the movie crew had arrived, including the ordinary people of the movie crew and Song Shuhang's friends.
After obtaining Song Shuhang's approval, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's subordinates quietly released several illusory butterflies, which fell on the bodies of Gao Mou, his girlfriend Yayi, Tubo, and the others.
With the illusory butterflies on their bodies, Gao Mou and the others would automatically filter out the scenes even if they were to see some cultivators using 'supernatural' methods during the shooting of the movie.
With that, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group wouldn't have to worry too much during the shooting of the movie.
Venerable White clapped his hands, and said, "In that case, everyone, please follow me. Prepare to board the immortal boats. We will immediately head to the first shooting location and start shooting the first act of the movie."
Under the effect of the illusory butterflies, the words' immortal boats' were automatically translated into 'planes' in the ears of ordinary people. In addition, the immortal boats resembled airplanes in their eyes.
The immortal boats started to move, and all the members of the movie crew and the equipment of the movie soared into the sky. Under Venerable White's lead, they headed toward the first shooting location.
… …
… …
Three o 'clock in the afternoon.
After passing through a huge protective barrier, the immortal boats finally arrived at Venerable White's holiday residence.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would see the beautiful encampment of a medium-sized sect.
It was just like a painting that was unfolding before their eyes.
Song Shuhang stood next to the immortal boat's window and looked down. "The scenery here is really beautiful."
Venerable White stood next to him and said with a smile, "Indeed … moreover, this is just the initial restoration. The encampment of the sect was definitely even more beautiful before it was abandoned. I wonder why this sect's encampment was abandoned in the first place. "
"Perhaps some disaster occurred? Or perhaps the sect found a better place and moved? "Song Shuhang said with a smile.
While gazing at the beautiful encampment of the sect below, a wish emerged in his heart.
One day, he would become strong enough to protect his family and friends. At that time, he would collect a sum of spirit stones and build a picturesque place like this one. Afterward, he would use a barrier to turn it into a paradise.
At that time, he would be able to connect his family and some of his close friends.
Speaking of spirit stones … Song Shuhang suddenly thought of something.
Song Shuhang said, "Senior White."
Venerable White turned his head around and saw the hesitant Song Shuhang, somewhat confused. "What's the matter?"
"It's like this … Senior White, can you lend me some spirit stones?" Song Shuhang asked. It was very likely that Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue would appear at any time and bring him to meet that mysterious' Almighty Merchant '.
At this time, he only had the spirit stones he got from selling Elder Horizon's blood pearls. Although this was already a huge amount of wealth for him. Now that he was going to see that mysterious existence called the Almighty Merchant, this amount of spirit stones was too little and too shabby.
Moreover, there was a chance that he might be able to find a treasure that could cure Li Yinzhu's disease in that place.
According to Daoist Priest Li Tiansu's memories, there might be a way to cure Li Yinzhu's disease in that 'forbidden area'. However, Daoist Priest Li Tiansu had never entered that 'forbidden area', and he wasn't sure if he could find a way to cure Li Yinzhu.
Therefore, Song Shuhang couldn't place all his hopes on that 'forbidden area'. It wouldn't be wrong to make some preparations.
"Are you lacking spirit stones?" Venerable White faintly smiled. "How many do you need?"
Song Shuhang replied, "The more, the better! Otherwise, I might regret it for the rest of my life. "
"The more, the better? I understand, "Venerable White said with a smile." In that case, I'll take you to another immortal cave of mine after the shooting of this movie is over. All of my spirit stones are stored in that immortal cave. "
Song Shuhang said, "Thank you, Senior White."
Venerable White said, "You're welcome."
"Do you want interest?" Song Shuhang asked. Being frank and outspoken had always been one of his strongest points.
"Alright, I'll collect a little bit of it when the time comes," Venerable White said with a smile.
…
…
The immortal boat slowly descended. Jacob's Production Team had already started working.
With the help of Venerable Spirit Butterfly's subordinate, Director Jacob arranged for the photography department to shoot the scenes of the 'immortal cave' below from different angles.
After the shooting was over, these shots would be selected and edited into the opening of the movie.
The immortal boat descended, and the members of the film crew carried the equipment out.
Under Venerable White's guidance, they arrived at the martial arts arena where Senior Brother Gao Sheng was beating up the main character, Ling Ye, in the first act of the movie.
Jacob's Production Team started to get busy. Props, lights, cameras, the layout of the set, and so on.
…
…
In the afternoon, 4 PM.
Everything was ready.
The sound was switched on … and the cameras were switched on.
The actors were ready.
Song Shuhang and Venerable White had changed into the standard robes of the Kongyun school that True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple had provided.
Venerable White, who was playing the role of the main character, Ling Ye, was ready.
Song Shuhang, who was playing the role of the male supporting character, Gao Sheng, was ready.
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, who was playing the role of the elder of the Kongyun school, the Eight-Armed Sword Sage, was ready.
Riverly Purple Mist, who was playing the role of the senior sister, Murong Painting, was ready.
In addition, several ordinary disciples wearing the uniform of the Kongyun school were also standing on the side of the arena. These ordinary disciples were played by the subordinates that Venerable Spirit Butterfly had arranged for them.
They were the ones who had to work the hardest and were the most respectable members of the movie. They would take care of most of the chores, and most of the minor characters would be played by them.
The script supervisor took the board and slapped it.
Director Jacob shouted, "Action!"
…
…
Venerable White arrived on the martial arts stage with a calm expression on his face. After taking a few steps, Venerable White had already gotten into character.
At this time, Venerable White had a resolute, fearless, and indomitable expression on his face.
The light blue daoist robe that was draped over his body fitted him well. With his long black hair draped over his back, Venerable White had already become the 'Ling Ye' in the script.
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple was standing on the side of the martial arts stage with a cold expression on his face and his arms crossed. Although he was just standing there, he gave off a feeling of 'fairness and selflessness'. True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple also got into character.
He was worthy of being a senior with rich life experiences!
It's time to go! Song Shuhang clenched his teeth.
If worst comes to worst, the western monk can make up for the lack of acting skills.
After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang's heart calmed down a little.
Before entering the camera, he took a deep breath to boost his courage.
Soon after, a sneer appeared on his face and walked toward the martial arts stage with large strides, entering the camera!
Behind him, two subordinates of Venerable Spirit Butterfly that were playing the roles of lackeys followed closely behind.
"Ahahaha, Ling Ye, you finally stopped hiding and dared to accept my challenge?" Song Shuhang sneered at Venerable White who was standing on the martial arts stage.
Venerable White, who was playing the role of Ling Ye, had a calm expression on his face as he indifferently looked at Song Shuhang. His acting skills were top-notch.
"Senior Brother, you must properly teach Ling Ye a lesson today and let him know how powerful you are," Junior Brother No. 1 called out.
"Right. From now on, he won't dare to go against Senior Brother's will!" Junior Brother No. 2 added.
"Hmph." Song Shuhang, who was playing the role of Senior Brother Gao Sheng, snorted and continued, "Ling Ye, this time, I'll beat you so badly that you won't be able to get out of bed for a whole month."
After saying these lines … Song Shuhang felt somewhat guilty.
He knew that it was just an act and that Venerable White was playing the role of 'Ling Ye'.
But after hearing Venerable White say 'I'll beat you so badly that you won't be able to get out of bed for a whole month', he felt somewhat guilty.
After saying these lines, Senior Brother Gao Sheng performed a 360-degree somersault and landed on the martial arts stage.
Thereupon, Song Shuhang followed the script and elegantly jumped high in the air … midway, he performed a 360-degree somersault in the air.
This somersault was very beautiful.
However, it was unknown whether it was because he felt guilty earlier and his legs were somewhat soft. Or perhaps it was because of some terrifying reason that defied science and cultivation?
Halfway through his somersault, just as he was about to jump onto the stage, his somersault posture suddenly became uncoordinated. In the next moment … he fiercely fell on the edge of the martial arts stage.
"Thump ~"
From the looks of it, he was in a lot of pain.
The opposite Venerable White was speechless.
"…" Song Shuhang.
"…" True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple who had his arms crossed.
