But with such a small stature and a porcelain doll-like face, Yu Tang inexplicably found him incredibly cute.
His attention was completely drawn to the miniature version of Qin Junyang, and he asked him in a low voice, "Why are you here like this? What if someone sees you?"
"This form conserves the most soul power, and I also want to know what the world will be like a thousand years from now, so I came out of your body first. But I can't stray too far from you."
He explained to Yu Tang one by one: "As for the issue of being discovered, don't worry, no one but you can see me."
If someone can see me, it means they are a Taoist priest or a ghost, and you should be careful.
In this ninth world, humans and ghosts coexist. However, humans have never acknowledged the status of ghosts throughout history.
This led to the emergence of professions such as Taoist priests and ghost hunters, who were dedicated to eliminating ghosts and monsters.
But unlike the world Yu Tang himself lived in, this world even acknowledged the existence of ghosts and monsters, even the country and government in it.
They even issued relevant legal documents and warned people to be careful of ghosts and avoid going out late at night.
Some internet celebrities and stars go live to visit haunted houses and ghost mountains in order to become popular, and Taoist priests also live stream exorcising ghosts and what to do when encountering ghosts, etc.
However, only a very small number of humans possess spiritual power. Therefore, many people can brush past ghosts and monsters without even realizing it.
I just felt a chill on my shoulder or back, and that was it.
Now, Qin Junyang lives inside Yu Tang's body, and his eyes are like they've been blessed. As long as he concentrates his mind, he can see ghosts too.
For example, the little girl sitting on the beam at the top of the photography studio.
She was still dangling her toes, humming a song, and raising her hand to greet him.
But the next moment, the other party saw Qin Junyang sitting on Yu Tang's shoulder, his ghostly eyes widened, and he screamed before disappearing.
"Why are you running..." Qin Junyang clicked his tongue: "You little brat aren't even enough to fill my teeth."
Having witnessed this scene, and recalling the background of this world, Yu Tang asked Qin Junyang, "Meimei, isn't it true that not all ghosts are bad?"
Qin Junyang frowned and asked Yu Tang in return, "Then do you think there are good people in the world?"
"Of course there are good people."
"Where there are good people, there are good ghosts." Qin Junyang said, "There are two kinds of ghosts: one originates from the human heart, and the other originates from the human body."
“Some people are plagued by evil thoughts, and these evil thoughts will turn into ghosts. They will start to do bad things and kill people unconsciously. Eventually, they will slowly gain intelligence and become stronger and stronger.”
"Another type is that people become ghosts after they die. But many of these ghosts don't have the memories of being human; they only have some obsessions that make them cling to the world."
Unless someone's resentment is too strong, and there's a chance they might become an evil spirit, others will generally just wander aimlessly and won't do anything bad.
"So, if that's the case, the little girl from earlier should belong to the second type of ghost," Yu Tang teased Qin Junyang. "So, you said she wasn't even good enough to fill your teeth, but actually you didn't hurt her because you knew she hadn't done anything wrong, right?"
He couldn't help but reach out and gently tap the top of Qin Junyang's small head with his finger, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so kind."
"Tsk, don't touch my head!" Qin Junyang impatiently waved his hand away.
His expression gradually returned to its coldness as he continued, "Only someone as blind as you would think I'm kind."
"Don't think you know me so well."
"I'm not killing you, I just find you interesting. I'm not telling you this to defend ghosts, but to tell you..."
At this point, a strange smile appeared on Qin Junyang's face. He looked up at Yu Tang and said, "I belong to the first type of ghost."
"The number of people and ghosts who have died at my hands is more than the amount of rice you have eaten."
So you'd better not think of me as some kind of saint, lest you feel disappointed later and think I've been deceiving your feelings.
Yu Tang said yesterday that he wanted to be friends with him, and he believed her.
Although Qin Junyang was not entirely clear about what exactly happened a thousand years ago, he did not forget his principles of conduct.
He demanded that Yu Tang not lie to him, and therefore he could not lie to Yu Tang either.
He never considered himself a good ghost, so he wanted to make it clear in advance.
Make it clear to a man what kind of people he is friends with.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Tang guessed what Qin Junyang meant.
He paused for a moment, then laughed and replied simply, "Okay, I understand what you mean."
He didn't show Qin Junyang any fear or shock, but said, "Now I have my own judgment."
Holding his finger up to little Qin Junyang, Yu Tang said, "My judgment is..."
"Qin Meimei, I'm so glad to have met you."
Qin Junyang froze, seemingly completely unprepared for Yu Tang to say such a calm and composed thing.
Looking at the finger being offered to him, Xiao Qin Junyang frowned, his lips almost pressed into a thin line. After a moment of stalemate, he reached out and slapped Yu Tang's finger away, saying, "That's enough, there's no need to fawn over me."
Yu Tang smiled helplessly and withdrew his finger, only to hear Xiao Jin excitedly tell him: [Host! Qin Junyang's favorability rating has risen to 20! This favorability rating is so easy to raise!]
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang looked down at the ghost who was still sitting on his shoulder, biting his lip and staring at the script in his hand, and sighed: I hope this kid's favorability rating can stay like this, and not be wiped to zero like that kid Mu Nancheng.
Afterwards, Yu Tang calmed down and read the script several more times, and he understood what the story of "Ghosts and Gods" was about.
To his surprise, it turned out to be a fantasy romance film with a gay theme.
Chapter 7
Died for the villain for the ninth time (07)
Because this world is relatively open and doesn't have many restrictions.
Therefore, celebrities in the entertainment industry have no aversion to this type of film.
As an actor, Yu Tang does not like to portray a fixed type of character.
Instead, he prefers to challenge himself with all kinds of scripts. As long as the story is good and challenging, he is willing to try.
"Ghosts and Gods" is a fantasy romance film that tells a poignant and artistic story.
The story is set in ancient times, a chaotic world of war and suffering.
More than a dozen countries fought each other for territory, and war, famine, and plague claimed countless lives every day.
At this time, the ruler of one of the countries, in order to rule the world and strengthen his country's military so that he could attack other countries, thought of the Dark Abyss recorded in ancient books.
Legend has it that a demon god who can control fate lives in the Abyss.
If he can summon the spirits and gods to help him, he will surely be able to unify the entire continent.
The monarch mobilized the entire nation to search for the Abyss and issued a proclamation saying that whoever could summon the spirits would be given half the country.
In the movie, Yu Tang plays a carefree ghost-catching Taoist priest named Chi Yu, who is greedy, lustful, and loves to drink, and is always drunk.
It was precisely because of this cynical attitude that his master expelled him from the sect and sent him down the mountain to cultivate and contemplate life.
But understanding life is clearly not Chi Yu's ideal life.
After he came down the mountain, he went around scamming people for food and drink, and even went to brothels, where he was happily surrounded by women.
Of course, in the end, because he couldn't pay the bill, he was kicked out of the brothel. Luckily, he knew some martial arts skills, like scaling walls and leaping across rooftops. Otherwise, he would have definitely gotten a good beating.
Later, while wandering the streets with his wine gourd, he saw a proclamation issued by the king.
His eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly went to see the Emperor.
After accepting the mission, he went to the Dark Abyss, where he accidentally broke through the maze and encountered the ancient ghosts and gods who were born and raised in darkness.
The fish in the pond appeared carrying a lantern, illuminating the darkness and attracting Gu Yuan.
Chi Yu remembered his purpose, so he began to deceive Gu Yuan, trying to get Gu Yuan to go to the outside world with him.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan was also a fool.
Perhaps because he hadn't met many people, he was overwhelmed by the man in front of him, who was gesturing wildly as he told him how wonderful the outside world was.
Looking into the man's bright eyes, Gu Yuan agreed to his request.
Afterwards, Chi Yu brought Gu Yuan to meet the king, and Gu Yuan agreed to the king's request and began to exert his power, making the country rich and powerful. Later, the king successfully unified the continent.
But just as the country was unified and the people began to live in peace and prosperity, strange things began to happen.
After unification, people began dying inexplicably in the country.
First it was a village, then a town, and later even an entire city…
While everyone was shocked and panicked, Chi Yu knew that the culprit was Gu Yuan.
That day, he stumbled upon Gu Yuan standing in front of the pile of corpses, his expression indifferent.
He questioned Gu Yuan about why he did this, and Gu Yuan's answer was "karma".
This is the price that must be paid to adjust the fortunes of the nation. Once the monarch has achieved his wish, these retributions will be transferred to the people of the country.
He told Chi Yu that there was only one way to stop the people from dying: kill him.
The fish in the pond asked the deep pool: "Will you kill me?"
The fish in the pond did not answer.
Later, the king learned the whole story and realized that it was his mistake in asking Gu Yuan to change the fate of the world.
However, in order to stabilize public sentiment, he spread rumors that this was a misfortune brought by ghosts and gods, and that those people were killed by ghosts and gods. He claimed that as long as the ghosts and gods were killed, the situation would not escalate further.
Therefore, Yuan, being a ghost or god, is also a half-god.
He can control the fortunes of a nation to favor its ruler, thus ensuring a prosperous and peaceful country.
However, his strength is not invincible. As long as you find a few divine artifacts and ask a Taoist priest with high spiritual power to set up a magic array, you can kill him.
The king secretly set a trap for Gu Yuan, but it was discovered by Chi Yu before it could be carried out.
Chi Yu was shocked. He had originally intended to tell Gu Yuan so that Gu Yuan could escape.
However, he also understood that if Gu Yuan continued like this, even more people would die.
So, Chi Yu changed his mind.
He requested to become the core of the array set up by these Taoist priests, so that he could "kill" Gu Yuan.
On the day the plan was to be carried out, he risked his life to save Gu Yuan, turning the formation that was originally meant to kill Gu Yuan into a seal.
But Gu Yuan knew nothing about any of this.
In that instant, he felt an endless desolation and heartache from being betrayed.
