Ancient Assassin Meets Modern-day Career Woman

Chapter 129: publicity

Views:

Mountain view.

The cool black motorcycle speeds along the mountain road. The sound effects scratched the eardrums.

Mountain view.

Brake sound effect, the locomotive stops.

Still a mountain view.

Man's back. Take off the helmet, have long hair, but wear modern clothes, very fashionable.

The camera slowly pans around from the side and back, and you can vaguely see the side face, wearing a mask.

In just one glance, the sun hit him over his shoulder, and the lens turned into a curtain of light.

At this time, the voice-over sounded: [This is the place where I grew up. I leave and miss it again.]

Mountain scenery, mountain road, ravine, the back of the young man is walking on the newly built bridge, crossing the ravine that has been hidden in the ancient view for decades.

Voice-over: [This child’s name is Zaojiao, and he raised me.]

Xiaodaotong asked innocently: "Then when will you come back?"

There are traces of moss on the stone base.

The master smiled and said, "That won't work. I'll tell you when I come back. When the master comes back, you will have a Taoist title."

The camera is slow, shooting upward from his back, facing the Taoist priests who are carrying swords and smiling.

The little Taoist boy asked in a clear voice: "Master, what is my Taoist name? Tell me."

Voice-over: [But they won’t come back.]

The camera shot the back view from behind. The squatting man stretched out his hand to touch the little Taoist boy's cheek. The moment he touched it, the little Taoist boy turned into smoke and dust in the sun and went away with the wind.

The senior brothers pressed his head one by one or flicked his forehead: "Zaojiao, take good care of your house."

At this time, the man at the bottom of the slope put his hands in his pockets and stepped up the steps in a modern manner.

The Taoist priests then stepped down the steps.

"Don't forget to practice calligraphy."

Old Wu also put the sharpened ax on the back of his waist: "Let's go."

"Be careful with fire, don't burn the palace."

Master, Grandmaster, and senior brothers all laughed.

The little Taoist boy covered his head and muttered: "Oh, no way."

The adults set off.

The light curtain passed, but there were many people at the empty gate.

At the moment of collision, he passed by, and the Taoist priests turned into smoke and dust in the air.

More than ten or twenty people, wearing Taoist robes and buns, carrying baggage and swords, were packing.

The long-haired modern man has been standing at the foot of the slope staring at this scene.

He looked at the tomb on the left side of the large courtyard. There was a series of Taoist numbers engraved on the stone tablet.

The little Taoist boy said, "Then hurry up."

The lens is his eyes.

He walked to the gate of the viewing hall, stood in front of the little Taoist boy, and knelt down to look at him.

The copper wind chimes on the eaves jingled, as if welcoming him.

He crossed the high threshold and entered an ancient courtyard.

"Practice hard."

The camera slowly rises from a low position, from the shoes to his back. He stands at the bottom of the slope and raises his head.

In the next shot, his footsteps fell and stopped.

Master said: "Kill all the bandits and come back."

The doorway was empty.

The voice-over and dialogue are both silent, and only the music is distant and slow, matching the slow-motion camera.

The little Taoist boy was still looking around.

The camera is very slow and keeps advancing slowly with the man's footsteps.

He couldn't see the modern man in front of him. He waved his little hands, put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Come back soon~ I'll wait for you at home~"

He climbed up the steps step by step and met them in the middle of the long steps.

The camera moved, and the sunlight once again leaked from his shoulders, forming a screen of light.

The man's hands froze in the air, clenched his fists, and stood up.

In front of him were stone steps. On the top of the slope, there is a courtyard, which is ancient and deep, with dark tiles.

No hesitation, no fear of the road ahead, even with a smile.

Voice-over: [In troubled times, bandits emerged, but they... never came back.]

He walked to another tomb on the right, squatted down in front of the tombstone, stretched out his hand to touch the tombstone, just like he had touched the little Taoist boy's head.

Voice-over: [He guarded his home, practiced martial arts well, watched the fire well, and did not let the palace be burned. He also adopted me, and just like that, I spent my whole life in this Taoist temple.]

[The biggest regret in life is that I did not get my own Taoist title until my death.]

The camera slowly pans the tombstone from top to bottom.

The 19th generation disciple of the Liuguang Sect and the fourth generation master of the Wilderness Temple. He has not yet received a Taoist title, but his nickname is Zaijiao.

One word at a time caught the eye.

At the end, the camera replayed the eight words "I didn't get the Taoist name, but my nickname is Zaojiao".

The man stood up, took a step back, raised his hands in bow, and bowed deeply.

When I got up again, I saw an old man full of country feelings standing next to the tomb. The morning light slanted down from the shade of the trees, pale gold. The old man stared at him in the pale golden morning light.

"You're back?" The old man said kindly, putting the big broom on his shoulders. A local accent.

The man bowed to him, respectfully.

Voice-over: [This is the seventh grandfather of Lao Meigou. When I decided to leave, Grandpa Qi said that young people should also go see the outside world and gain insights. He said, I am here to watch for the masters.]

The picture is focused on the old man's ravaged face.

Voice-over: [Grandpa Seven grew up listening to stories about Taoist temples. When he was a child, he went into the mountains several times to look for Taoist temples, but returned without success. By the time outsiders finally discovered the Taoist temple, he was already an octogenarian.]

Voice-over: [He went up the mountain alone and took over the Taoist temple from my hands. Until Daozong came to take over.]

The camera follows him.

In the Sanqing Hall, the statues are new, majestic and neat.

A Taoist priest was reading scriptures on a futon in the palace.

Seeing him, they smiled and said, "He's back."

Passing through the Sanqing Hall and reaching the courtyard in the middle is the monastery where Taoist priests live.

There was a Taoist priest who was practicing his sword. When he saw him, the Taoist priest stopped and said, "You're back." The Taoist priest said, "Go on!"

The Taoist priest threw the sword over.

The man standing on the stone foundation of the front hall suddenly stood up from the ground, twisted his body in the air, and reached out to hold the hilt of the sword. When he landed, the sword was already blooming, and the light shone in the ancient courtyard with clear cuts of light and darkness.

The sword walks like a wandering dragon.

The Taoist priests who were doing morning exercises stopped to applaud and cheer.

The last closing position finally captured the man's face.

He wore a mask and raised his eyes.

Those eyes are so heroic. With a swish sound, he sheathed his sword and cupped his fists -

Voice-over sounds.

[I am Bingwu Twenty-seven.]

[I am not a Taoist priest.]

[I live in a big city and work online.]

[But this is where I grew up and learned art.]

[I will come back often.]

[I hope you can come and see it too.]

The screen cuts away.

The two rows of words tumbled, accompanied by sound effects, and finally froze in the middle of the screen.

There is a row of small characters on it: [Luo County·Siping Township·Laomeigou]

Three big characters below: [Wild·Ren·Guan]

The entire video relies on the Tyndall effect in the early morning, with light and shadow interlaced, creating a soothing and distant tone.

The color saturation is very high, green is emerald green, black is dark black, the morning mist in the mountains, the blue robe of the Taoist priest, the ravine on the old man's face, the picture is full of texture.

Except for the final frontal shot, the previous narrative is all from Twenty-Seven's perspective, and the voice-over is also his own dubbing.

Fans recognize his voice. Although he rarely speaks, his voice is charming, and he always makes the comment section scream.

Comment area under the video—

[, a promotional video for a tourist area actually broke the defense.]

[So are these true? Or a made-up story?]

[Isn’t it true? This does not mean that I have told you about 27’s origin.]

[My tears don’t cost money.]

[Ah ah ah, so the little Taoist boy didn’t have a Taoist number in the end, right? Breaking the defense!]

[I went to the official website to read the scenic spot introduction. Yes, the little Taoist boy is called Zaojiao, but there is no Taoist name at the end. His tombstone was engraved by himself during his lifetime, and it read, "The Taoist name has not been obtained." So now some people call him Zaojiao Master, and some people call him Unobtained Master.]

[This child later destroyed the bridge over the ravine and never left the mountain for the rest of his life.]

[I am a local and I have been there before. If there is no bridge to go around the ditch for dozens of miles, it will usually not turn in the direction of the Taoist temple, so it is equivalent to the Taoist temple being isolated from the world.]

[Why is he? Aren't we still waiting for Master to come back?]

[I heard that someone entered the mountain at that time and wanted to destroy the Taoist temple and destroy the four olds.]

[Fuck, I understand!]

[So this Internet celebrity was raised by a Taoist boy and learned martial arts, and then selfishly abandoned the Taoist temple and went to the world of mortals? Is the spirit of the Taoist priests who went down the mountain to resist the Japanese just cut off?]

[Upstairs must be very selfless. I support going upstairs to watch. It is best to stay there for the rest of your life at a young age and never go out.]

[The moral kidnapping is really a matter of typing on the keyboard. 27You are so young and you want to trap people in the mountains for the rest of their lives just by talking? You are so noble, why don't you go and guard the tomb, keep company with the old man?]

[It’s still me. I just went there a few days ago. I’ve also met that seventh grandpa and even chatted with him. It was true that when he was a child, he carried a dozen big cakes on his back and went into the mountains to learn from his master. The deepest one has reached the edge of the ditch. But there was no bridge at that time. The bridge had been destroyed by Master Zaojiao, so he turned back from there. The old grandfather kept sighing when he told us. It was only a little bit short of being able to worship the master. It was such a pity.]

[An idea, if the old man succeeds in his apprenticeship, maybe the current Internet celebrity will be either 27 or the old man hahahahaha.]

[Don’t tell me, this idea is quite interesting. What I imagine in my mind is an old man wearing a mask hahahahahaha.]

[Grandpa is doing very well now. He said that after the development of the Taoist temple, he was kept and paid his salary.]

[Is this equivalent to being organized? Envious.]

[I’ve been there upstairs. I’m also from this province. I’d like to ask how it is there? Can I stay?]

[It’s okay. It’s a newly developed scenic spot and there aren’t many people. You can stay in the jingshe in the Taoist temple, but there are not many rooms, only Kangs. There are many B&Bs in Laomeigou Village at the foot of the mountain, which are okay. However, the farmhouse restaurant in the village is very good, and the chicken stewed with mushrooms and the mutton in the iron pot are particularly delicious. There are a lot of mountain goods for sale. The price is very fair and the people in the village feel quite honest.]

[Okay, it’s been planted, and the Dragon Boat Festival is scheduled. Go pay homage to the masters and see the grandfather guarding the tomb.]

These are all discussions about the view of savages, but more about the person Twenty-seven himself.

[Who told me, is the life story of 27 mentioned in the video true?]

[If this is the case, it means that he grew up in the mountains, and you can't tell it at all. He advertises for men's clothing brands and looks super stylish. Doesn't he still ride a motorcycle? He wears ancient clothes that have an ancient charm, but there is no local flavor at all.]

[It’s true. The original author of “I Can Only Fall in Love with You”, Sanchi Qingfeng Zhan Bikong, mentioned this on his Weibo. He said it was exclusive news. I read it! He was an orphan adopted by a Taoist temple. Later, the little Taoist boy passed away, and he lived alone. My fiancée’s hometown is the old Meigou Village. My fiancée is a designer. She went to the mountains to collect scenery and almost died when she encountered extreme weather. She was saved by our 27 heroes. Then his fiancée took 27 out of the mountains, helped him adapt to the outside world, helped him find a job, and supported his career. That’s why today’s Bingwu Twenty-Seven is here. It is said that 27 is working hard to make money now just to marry a young lady.]

[Holy shit, what kind of beautiful legendary love is this!]

[I do not believe! This kind of love cannot exist in the real world. This is clearly a story that can only exist in novels! TT]

[Why does Sanchi Qingfeng know so much? What is her relationship with 27?]

[Don’t you know upstairs? San Chi Qing Feng and 27 are partners, and this short play was written by her. She said she had exclusive information and the source of the information was 27 herself. This was all told to her by 27, and was only released with the confirmation and consent of her fiancée.]

[So the internet celebrity hasn’t even completed the nine-year compulsory education, right? He doesn't even have any academic qualifications, and he's just one of a kind.]

[Laughing to death, come on, upstairs, copy the words "Yu Shenghui Che Lun" to me accurately, and then let's talk about academic qualifications or not. These are all words that we 27 just picked up and wrote.]

[No wonder 27 writes traditional Chinese characters so smoothly, I suddenly understand. Has he never learned simplified Chinese characters at all?]

[Yes, I read the official statement that he was raised by a Taoist master. The master never left the mountain in his life, so 27 learned completely traditional culture.]

[I suddenly understood, no wonder 27’s temperament is different from other Internet celebrities. I have always felt that he has a special temperament. When other people wear ancient clothes, I think of them as modern people wearing ancient clothes. But I don’t feel this way at all when I wear ancient costumes at 27.]

[Upstairs, shake hands, I’ve noticed it a long time ago!]

Deputy County Magistrate Xu is right, the Internet celebrity economy is really powerful now.

Yerenguan has been open to the public since March, but the number of visitors has been sparse and there has been little improvement.

After Twenty-Seven filmed this promotional video, although he did not make it in time for May Day, the video was immediately forwarded by many media and self-media after it was released on his video account.

His legendary life story has become a traffic password and has been heavily exploited by various media.

Not to mention those big and small internet celebrities who specially come to check in.

The advantage is that it brings out the savage view.

Passenger traffic increased significantly in May, especially in the second half of the month. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the passenger flow is even greater, and all the B&Bs in Lao Meigou are fully booked.

In June, 27th appeared on CCTV News (online) again.
