Priest Wu brought Chen Zhao and Steven to the back of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
He stopped in front of a cave with an iron door.
This place was halfway up a cliff. The narrow plank path was the only way to get here.
Below the cliff was a scenery shrouded in mist. It felt like an immortal's aura.
Priest Wu pulled the bronze handle on the iron door and knocked.
Just then, a rough voice sounded from inside.
"The door isn't closed. Come in."
Priest Wu pushed the door with force.
But it didn't open.
Chen Zhao went up to help and pushed the door open.
There were lights in the cave, as well as a huge TV. It was still on and playing a program.
There was also an exotic beast about four meters tall nestled in the corner, looking at the newcomers lazily.
It didn't react when it saw Priest Wu.
But when it saw Chen Zhao, it paused for a moment.
But the moment it saw Steven, it stood up abruptly.
Then it jogged to Steven. "Hi, I'm your fan."
Steven couldn't understand the beast's Mandarin.
Originally, when he looked at this exotic beast, he didn't feel any particular fear or dread.
After all, after getting used to Amon, other magical beasts didn't look like much.
Compared to Amon, the exotic beast in front of him was far too inferior.
But when the beast ran up to him, he was still shocked.
After all, he didn't know if the beast would bite him.
"Chen, what did he say?"
"He's your fan." Chen Zhao shrugged.
It was his first time seeing such a human-like beast.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Steven, he is the guardian beast of Longhu Mountain's Divine Master Sect, Tongyu."
Disappointed, Steven tugged at Chen Zhao.
"What's the meaning of this name?" Chen Zhao asked Priest Wu.
"Tongyu is a spiritual beast. He can summon the souls of the Netherworld to the real world and send spirits into Hell."

"Can he grow bigger?" Steven asked.
"Yes, but I'm not good at transformation," Priest Wu answered.
"Chen, don't you think he's a bit small?" Steven peeked at Tongyu. "I think he's so weak."
"Weak? He's many times stronger than Amon. " Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. "Amon is big. Apart from being big, he's nothing. But this Tongyu, he … you can think of him as a child born by the world."
"But it's not big enough …"
Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. It was indeed difficult to communicate with outsiders.
"He can summon souls from the world of the dead, and he can also send souls into the world of the dead. You can rely on this aspect in the setting of the plot."
Steven thought for a moment and said, "Help me tell him if he can summon the souls of the dead. I want to see the effect."
Chen Zhao nodded and said to Tongyu, "Show us your ability."
"We can't do it here. We have to go to an open space outside."
They came to the mountain stream at the bottom of the cliff.
Tongyu raised his front paw and slammed it on the ground.
In an instant, a hole appeared in the ground.
Then, the wound continued to be torn open, growing longer and longer.
The crack extended for dozens of meters, and the bottom of the crack burned with flames.
Following that, hundreds of spirits emerged from the crack.
Steven couldn't see the spirits, but he could vaguely feel a cold wind.
"Chen, are there spirits coming out of the crack?"
Chen Zhao nodded.
He said to Tong Yu, "Can you summon some stronger spirits? If you summon these ordinary spirits, can you summon some stronger spirits?
Even if you slap them in?
The audience can't see them either. "
"Understood." Tongyu immediately understood Chen Zhao's needs.
It let out an extremely loud and clear howl towards the sky.
Wisps of black smoke rose from the crack.
What came out was a huge and terrifying spirit.
It wasn't a human soul, but a ferocious beast soul.
Is this beast soul really big?
Half of its body was already 60 meters long.
Black smoke rose from its body.
In front of it, Tongyu was like a little chick.
But Tongyu opened his mouth and sucked at the huge beast soul.
The beast soul was sucked into Tongyu's mouth uncontrollably.
Then, he burped.
"Can you summon bigger ones?"
"Yes, but I can't finish it," Tongyu answered.
"You eat that?"
"Yeah?
What else do you think spiritual beasts eat? "Tongyu's answer was very human-like.
Maybe it was because he'd interacted with humans for a long time?
Tongyu didn't look like a human.
Actually, his thought process was no different from humans.
Chen Zhao repeated Jailbreak's words to Steven.
Steven's eyes lit up. He already had a rough idea in his mind.
"Chen?
I have an idea. This crack can be the entrance to Hell. It's always existed in the depths of this mountain, and there's always a terrifying evil spirit?
Always wanting to lead his evil spirit army to invade the human world?
Tongyu's job is to stop that powerful and terrifying evil spirit. "
"It feels a bit like the first documentary," Chen Zhao said.
The main character was Amon replaced with Tongyu?
The antagonist was changed from the King of Magical Beasts to an evil spirit.
"Add some side stories, like Tongyu's past and his feud with the evil spirit?
It's all a good gimmick. "
"Anyway, you're the expert in this. You decide the plot."
Chen Zhao then helped Steven tell his thoughts to Tongyu.
Tongyu was very interested in filming and had a lot of ideas.
Therefore, when he found out that he had a lot of stories to tell, he was even more excited to tell his story.
Then, Chen Zhao and Steven went down the mountain and returned to the hotel.
Steven needed a complete script. At least, it couldn't have any obvious loopholes.
This process took another three days.
Of course, they didn't have no filming in these three days.
For example, some scenes related to Priest Wu.
First, Priest Wu had to pretend to be an old friend that Steven hadn't seen for many years.
In Steven's plot, Priest Wu used to be a university lecturer in America.
He was also the Steven he'd met there.
Of course, the first part was real, but the second part was fake.
After writing the script, Steven had to go through drafts with Tongyu.
Although Tong Yu was not human, his intelligence was not low, and his memory was very good.
It was just that he liked to add his own performances to the mix.
Every time he read his lines, he had to use a deep and hoarse voice.
"Hey, hey, don't use that tone of voice. I want a sense of mystery, not a mature uncle."
"I feel like I'm a mature uncle in the human world."
Steven had a headache. Amon was much easier to film than this guy.
At least Amon wouldn't add scenes.
"If you keep acting like this, you'd better find another director."
