In early October, the autumn colors become more and more intense. At a glance, the coastal city - Qingyu, leaves are swirling and falling on the streets. Pedestrians in short sleeves are holding parasols and walking hurriedly under the scorching sun, stepping on the fallen leaves.
On the suburban highway in the city, looking into the distance, the heat waves distorted the air. In the distance, a motorcycle sped past, and the buzzing and roaring sound was mixed with a few bells.
The speeding figure occasionally stopped, took off the sunglasses on his nose, took out the mobile phone and put it to his ear.
"Cousin, where have you been? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No, we'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Liangsheng looked at the rearview mirror on the side of the front of the car. His slightly curled short hair and clean face made him look even more handsome. He smiled at the mirror with his teeth showing, put on his sunglasses, and twisted the accelerator in his right hand.
Buzz!!
The engine roared, and the wheels spun wildly in place, making a long "squeak" sound and leaving a tire mark. The next moment, it shot out with a bang, stirring up wind and waves that shook the big trees on the roadside.
This bike was not made by Lao Lu. He picked it up on the beach when he was coming back from the sea. A group of young men riding motorcycles rushed down from a reef several meters high. The motorcycle driven by one of them fell to the ground, with half of the body of the motorcycle buried in the sand. The front wheel even flew off and fell into the sea. The man was seriously dizzy from the fall. Later, he didn't even want the bike and just left.
When Lu Liangsheng came to this era, among the cars he came into contact with and saw, he particularly liked vehicles called motorcycles. It seemed as if he was back in the days when he rode an old donkey and galloped on the official road.
Since the other party didn't want it anymore, it would be a waste to leave it here, so he simply lifted it out of the sand and used water-controlling magic to bring the front wheel that fell into the sea to his front.
"Edict!"
He waved his wide sleeves and wrote seal characters on the motorcycle's fuel tank with his fingertips. The moment the Dharma light came on, it formed into dense and fine lines that spread out. The car body lying on its side on the sand made a sound of metallic twisting, and the broken parts repaired themselves. The detached front wheel rubbed against the sand and came back on its own and was reinserted, and the screws and nuts also returned to their sockets one by one.
After a moment, the heavy motorcycle stood up on its own, the engine roared, magic patterns spread to the front of the car, the metal stretched the front support, and the entire appearance changed into the one that Lao Lu had transformed into before.
The light flashed twice, signaling the scholar to ride on.
Lu Liangsheng flicked his sleeves outward, and the moment he got on the bike, he stepped on the pedals in a T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. He shook his hand and put on a pair of sunglasses. He twisted the accelerator, and the rear wheel threw away countless gravel. He rushed out like an arrow, jumped onto the road, bounced twice, and rode away in a cloud of dust.
…
Buzz!
Buzz!
On the suburban highway, the roaring sound accompanied by the sea on one side and the city scenery on the other side receded and turned into a buzzing sound that floated into Lu Liangsheng's ears.
Following the scent of the copper coin given by Lu Jun, we turned along the road to a small hill near the sea. The road was relatively flat without too many bumps. After turning an intersection, we saw a red strip in the distance with a notice hanging on it: There is a film crew shooting ahead, so please be considerate and drive carefully with a low voice.
It was signed by a certain filming crew, and someone mischievously drew a smiling face with hands clasped in a bow on it.
"This is interesting, but I wonder if it's the same as Hong Lian and the others back then."
After crossing the red bar blocking the road, they heard faint voices from the other side. When Lu Liangsheng passed by, the two people guarding there also heard the sound of the motorcycle and hurried over.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Lu Liangsheng naturally told the two people his purpose first. One of them seemed to know Lu Jun, and a smile immediately appeared on his face and he gave way.
"You must be the cousin that Brother Lu mentioned. Oh, Brother Lu's acting is incredible. Come on, please come in. You can see the director if you go in from here."
Nodding and thanking the two of them, Lu Liangsheng put down the tripod, and without taking out the key, he walked straight through the woods in front of him and walked along a cement path for more than a hundred steps. He saw more and more busy figures, some carrying lights and wearing costumes, coming and going, and makeup artists running behind them. There were also ragged figures queuing up to have red paint applied to their faces.
Amidst the noise, someone shouted, "Crack!"
The group of people in front scattered like birds and beasts, sat down nearby, and drank water in big gulps. In this kind of weather, they were so hot in their thick costumes that their faces were covered with sweat.
As for the architectural style of the surrounding buildings, Lu Liangsheng found them unfamiliar. They were either before or after him, and should not be from the Sui and Tang dynasties. He wanted to take a closer look, so he went around to the back and suddenly grinned. There was nothing at the back. It turned out that only the front was built, and the back was empty, with only a few pieces of wood supporting it.
"Hey! Cousin!"
Suddenly, a familiar shout came to his ears. Lu Liangsheng was looking at the makeshift building. He turned his head and saw Lu Jun standing there with a bottle of water. He was wearing animal skin clothes, like a hunter.
"What are you acting in this outfit?"
"He's a hunter, a guide, his name is Liu Bochin." Lu Jun was quite excited to see his cousin coming to the rescue. He pulled him and pointed to the figure in front where a group of people were surrounding and supporting the figure below, wearing a cassock, a Dharma hat, and getting off a white horse.
"Look, he's the one who leads the way for the protagonist. The name of our play is 'The Legend of Conquering Demons and Demons', and the protagonist is called Fahai. You know him, right? He's a very powerful one."
"Fahai?"
Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and looked back at the protagonist who was being helped down from the horse. He smiled and said, "Fahai is not as fair as this... He looks quite fierce and serious, which doesn't match this person."
"Cousin, you are really amazing. I knew it. How could the monk Fahai, who fought all the way to the Western Paradise, look so cowardly? By the way, how come cousin knows so much?"
Here, Lu Liangsheng shook his head and didn't continue the conversation. This was the crew's business and he couldn't say much. The two of them talked about other things casually, and Lu Jun took him to meet the director. The latter had heard Lu Jun talk about it many times before, and his eyes lit up when he saw him suddenly.
"With this kind of temperament, it would be a shame if he didn't play a god. Wow, he really looks otherworldly, so handsome."
Lu Liangsheng just smiled and nodded when he heard his praise, then changed the subject and asked, "If you want me to play a fairy, which fairy should I play?"
"Which way?"
The director was stunned for a moment, then he also started laughing and shouted to the production staff and editors around him: "Look, what does professionalism mean? You can speak lines easily with your solid dialogue skills. You guys have to think for a long time before you say a single word!"
The group of people over there nodded repeatedly after being scolded.
The director, who had vented his anger, looked at their expressions and then turned back with satisfaction, smiling even more, "Mr. Lu, the role you play is a deity in the sky, named Taibai Jinxing..."
"Him?!"
When this name was mentioned, Lu Liangsheng laughed and said, "I beat him before, but I never thought I would play him."
Beat... beat him
These words stunned the director and Lu Jun beside him. They probably thought Lu Liangsheng was joking and nodded in agreement, not taking it seriously.
Afterwards, Lu Liangsheng took a piece of paper called a script, looked at the scenes and his lines described on it, and wrote them down with a quick glance. However, some of the lines did not fit the situation at the time. It was he who gave him the name Liu Bochin, which should be from his era at that time.
But this is the crew's business, and Lu Liangsheng doesn't need to be too serious about it. He can just make some minor changes to some of the lines that don't go over well.
What made him laugh and cry was that the immortal's robe was just a large white robe, without even a jade-studded belt, let alone a fairy-like belt fluttering behind him. There was also a five-pointed golden star on his forehead.
This is called Taibai Jinxing...
Fortunately, he didn't have many parts afterwards, and he acted according to the script. Occasionally, he would unconsciously get into the role, which made him feel like he had returned to that era. After a few shots, his lines, facial expressions, and every move showed the demeanor of an ancient person, which surprised the surrounding extras and directors. If they hadn't known that he was Lu Jun's cousin, they would have really thought he was a person from ancient times who had traveled through time.
The autumn leaves fluttered down, brushing across the white shoulders. Lu Liangsheng, whose black hair fluttered in the wind, reached out to take the shot of the falling leaves, causing the director, who was squatting behind the small TV, to murmur.
"This is not acting, this is simply a living god."
