Grandpa's friend
Zong Qi was confused for a moment, and said in shock: "How could Ah Xue know?"
Before he could fully turn his mind to the dangerous place where Yu Chenxue might use his position to investigate his files, he heard that the other party blocked the way.
"I have a friend who asked me to investigate something recently."
Yu Chenxue took a sip of his coffee: "Following the address he gave, I found the house, but the original occupants resold the house completely two years ago, it is said that they moved to the old city,? The landlord who rented the house said it was completely Withdraw the lease,? I don’t know where to go.”
After speaking, the professor of psychology reported the address directly.
Zong Qi, who was sitting behind the dining table, opened his eyes wide: "It's my previous address!"
When he was a child, he lived with his grandparents. Grandpa is a veteran, and there is a special resettlement community. Later, when grandpa disappeared, grandma fell ill again, and Zong Qi sold the house because he had no choice but to do it secretly without telling grandma.
After moving away, he didn't go back to see it.
The location of the previous old house was not bad, and it was sold within ten days after it was handed over to the intermediary.
"Is it really grandpa's old friend? This is too coincidental."
Ever since he knew that the director system might have something to do with his grandfather's disappearance, Zong Qi has been running around looking for his grandfather's trace. For this reason, he did not hesitate to sign employees everywhere, and risked breaking into the Pisces Jade Pendant dungeon and putting himself in danger.
If it was really an old friend of grandpa's who came to the door, it might be able to open up news about the Pisces Jade Pendant movie. Zong Qi felt quite unreal.
"Yeah,? It's really a coincidence." Yu Chenxue said lightly: "This old friend was also bound to the actor system at the beginning,? He was also an A-level actor."
Zong Qi knew about this matter, he had seen actors discussing this matter on the forum. It was about the Pisces jade pendant incident ten years ago.
It is said that the only S-level actor at that time gathered a group of the best actors to enter this instance together. Later, although a lot of manpower was lost in the dungeon, all the actors who survived to the end of the filming were all unbound from the actor system and became free people.
This is also the only time in the entire history of actors that they were able to untie the system, which is talked about by many actors.
"We all suspect that if you are the person he is looking for, then your grandfather is likely to be the only victim after entering the Pisces Jade Pendant dungeon for the third time."
Yu Chenxue's voice was calm: "He sacrificed himself in exchange for the survival of all the actors."
Zong Qi opened his mouth, his voice dry: "... What is his code name?"
"Craftsman."
The professor of psychology put down the spoon and crossed his hands: "But I need to remind you that this old friend may have guessed that the director system is on you. Because the last surviving actors all guessed that the craftsmen may , and got the director system, but he kept it from everyone, and no one said anything."
Daoist Wu is not an easy person.
He is not obsessed with power like the black speaker, and he doesn't even hesitate to get blood on his hands. On the contrary, Daoist Wu, as one of the leaders of the Taoist sect, has almost no worldly desire for these lay things.
He's just such a simple, nice guy. What they do is purely to curb the imbalance of yin and yang in the human world, and they will not seek their own interests.
This kind of person is the most difficult to handle, but relatively speaking, it is also relatively safe.
Zong Qi unconsciously tightened his hands.
He was completely unaware of this, and it was news that he had never heard before.
"Let's meet each other, after all, it's about grandpa." Zong Qi said: "At the time when grandpa suddenly disappeared, grandma didn't say anything... Later she was demented, so she might have forgotten all these things, and she didn't say anything. Let me know in time."
"Then I was also suddenly bound to the director system. Before that, I had never even heard of actors."
He looked sleepy: "I always feel that my grandparents are hiding a lot of things from me."
Yu Chenxue looked up at him, wanting to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.
His state of mind is a bit strange now.
If it was replaced by the previous hypocrisy, Yu Chenxue could easily comfort others without thinking too much. By the way, she could hug her little boyfriend affectionately to comfort her. According to the old TV drama routine, this is It is the best time to cultivate feelings.
Or this morning, it was even more impossible for Yu Chenxue to let go of Zong Qi so easily, even if he didn't do it, he would have to make people blush and heartbeat in the end.
But after realizing that she was emotional, Yu Chenxue didn't want to use those fancy operations anymore, and instead became cautious.
Perhaps in the final analysis, he is still an indifferent character, but more...
The psychology professor lowered his head and stared at his own palm prints.
Humans are animals that know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
This uncontrollable emotion may have made him a little scared.
...
The meeting between Zong Qi and Daoist Wu was set at a private club.
When it was time to meet and meet, he stared at the person behind Daoist Wu in surprise: "Ning Zhou?"
That's right, Daoist Wu not only came, but also brought his cheap apprentice over to guard the gate.
Recently, after Daoist Wu came down from the mountain, there was another major incident where the Daoist sect was attacked by a ghost. Although no casualties were caused, the entire metaphysics circle was considered jittery. The most direct result is that Qi Ningzhou's training content has doubled.
Daoist Wu was worried, and decided to train this disciple ruthlessly, so as to prevent him from being murdered by Li Gui in the future, and he had to pass on his own kung fu no matter what.
So Qi Ningzhou didn't have to go out to run a bill of 20 yuan. God knows what kind of expression Daoist Wu would have when he knew that his incompetent disciple only charged 20 yuan for a bill. It took a long time before I could say that it was indeed you.
Qi Ningzhou didn't know how he got here this month. A few days ago, he was still in the mood to pour out bitter water with Zong Qi on WeChat, but after that, his whole body evaporated. Only on weekend nights, he would climb up to give Zong Qi a message. , and then continue to remain disconnected.
Although Zong Qi was sympathetic at the time, he was more quiet than a chicken.
Because in the final analysis, the culprit who caused the good brother to be so miserable is actually himself!
Qi Ningzhou, who was drowsy, immediately woke up: "Brother, why are you here!"
As soon as he yelled, he was hit by Wu Daochang with his head held down.
"Okay, you kid, you know him clearly!"
Qi Ningzhou was stunned: "What do you know, this is my brother... Wait."
He suddenly realized something, and said in disbelief, "No way, brother, you are the one Master is looking for?"
No, no, no, no, he has a good relationship with others, hooks up shoulder to shoulder and becomes a brother, but he hasn't found out that the person he was looking for is in front of my eyes? !
Daoist Wu knocked harder: "Okay, I'm so familiar with people and haven't figured out my real identity yet. If you don't handle the things that Master entrusts to you, give me a blow!"
"Ouch!"
Qi Ningzhou jumped up from the ground and put his head in his hands: "Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore, the child will be stupid."
Zong Qi was about to persuade a fight, but was held back by Yu Chenxue.
The latter had that gentle smile on his face: "Wu Daoist, it's better to go back and talk about the younger generation's affairs, let's deal with the business first."
"What do you mean, are you no longer a junior in front of me?"
Having said that, Daoist Wu stopped his hands and looked at Zong Qi a few times: "Then let's go first."
So a group of people walked into the private room.
For a while, after taking their seats, there was some silence from each other.
Qi Ningzhou secretly looked at his brother and the white-haired man. For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two.
That's weird, take another look.
Daoist Wu took out something wrapped in yellow cloth from his pocket, and broke the silence: "This is something left to me by the craftsman back then, take a look."
Zong Qi slowly opened the cloth bag, his pupils shrank suddenly when he saw what was inside, his fingertips trembled and touched it, his chest heaved violently several times, and finally he stabilized his mind.
"It belongs to grandpa."
This is a second-class merit medal. Even after so many years, the color on it has not dimmed, and it lies quietly in his palm.
Daoist Wu knew that he finally found the right person this time: "I haven't looked carefully for so many years, and only found a note in the empty slot under the side half a year ago. It turns out that he wanted me to help him take care of his family. I really know how to hide."
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Zong Qi.
Zong Qi didn't have time to avoid it, so he returned the gift.
"I've heard from Xiao Yu about the other things, you have to bear this benediction."
Daoist Wu said: "Don't say that your grandfather saved our lives. Over the years, I have not been able to fulfill my obligations. Alas, after a hundred years, I will have no face to see him when I go underground."
Helpless, Zong Qi had no choice but to stand stiffly. After Daoist Wu stood up, Qi Ningzhou set up the stool and asked his master to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Zong Qi couldn't wait to speak: "Grandpa Wu, I would like to ask, what happened in the first place? What happened to you during the filming?"
"Don't worry, I'll speak slowly."
Daoist Wu said with nostalgia in his tone, "Ten years ago, we were all young at that time. A group of people in their early forties and fifties didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."
Isn't the sky high and the earth thick.
At that time, even without the director system, Pisces Jade Pendant was the most advanced script, bar none.
"Well, although I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but at that time, this big movie was a compulsory recruitment, and it was clearly written that only the highest-ranking actors would be recruited."
That is to say, no matter whether the actors sign up or not, the filming will start anyway when the time comes, and it will not be transferred due to human factors. But at the same time, the rewards given are also very generous, saying that they can untie the actor system and get the trial qualification of a more advanced system.
For a while, many actors signed up.
After all, the death rate of shooting horror movies is so high. If you don't unbind the system, you will have to live in the shadow of death in the future. It's better to let it go once and for all.
In the end, Grandpa Zong Qi took the lead in proposing, and the highest-ranking actors responded one after another, gathered together, and signed up for this big movie.
The Pisces Jade Pendant dungeon has been opened three times in total, with one month between each time.
The first time you sign up, you have to go in the next two times.
The system also specially reminded them that it was a copy of reality.
"Then we entered the dungeon and discovered that the background of the dungeon happened to be the news that was making a fuss in Kunlun Mountain during that time. Only then did we figure out the true meaning of the dungeon in reality."
At the end of the last century, there were not only legends about Kunlun Mountain, but also rumors of ghost soldiers borrowing ways, zombies reviving, cat-faced old ladies, and the end of the world.
Against this background, it seems that Kunlun Mountain is haunted.
