Chapter 24: The Farmer and Snake (Part 3)

Hearing this, Dong Ying couldn’t stop laughing and said with a happy face: “You, surname Liu, you also have it today. You deserve to wear a cuckold. This is your retribution! Your Liu Family’s ‘line’ will be cut off after all!”

Her excitement and joy made something flash across Father Liu’s mind. The face of his youngest son was indeed not very similar to himself… …

Thinking of how much money he spent on him all these years to train him, and he didn’t hesitate to plot against his eldest son for him, all of this turned out to be a wedding dress for someone else!

He was so angry that his eyes rolled, and passed out.

Gu Zhisang asked Liu Jin to bring a photo of that woman’s surname Wang, then she put her palm against the photo for a while and then opened her eyes and said:

“This woman is very smart. She said she wanted to take out her child to avoid the limelight, but she took out a sum of money and is ready to run away at any time. There is no connection between her and the others in this photo, but there is still a faint residual connection. I speculate that she should be related to the person who helped you take this photo, and that child should belong to the two of them.”

Dong Ying recalled for a long time and finally thought of the scene when the photo was taken. She gritted her teeth and said, “The driver at home took this photo for us!”

Gu Zhisang said: “Then Director Liu, you’d better control the driver first. I can feel that this woman’s migration palace is still moving. She should be waiting for the driver before she takes action. She will come back only if your mother’s death is not exposed. If the driver is exposed, he will inform her, and she will buy a plane ticket overnight to take the child abroad, and it will be difficult for you to find her again.”

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and said: “Okay, I’ll remember, I’ll call the police in a while and request a re-investigation of this case, and I will not let them escape! I will take them to court!”

“Well, the matter is almost settled here, and you can ask any questions now.”

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, “Master Gu if my mother’s soul was injured before, will there be any impact if she goes to the underworld to reincarnate?”

“Yeah, I almost forgot about it.”

Gu Zhisang took out a piece of yellow talisman paper and small scissors from her pocket and cut out a small paper figurine the size of a palm.

“Your mother’s soul has been severely damaged. Now she looked like has recovered because of the power of ghost tears. But after this power is exhausted, she will return to her original state. I will store her soul in a paper doll for some time. Take her with you, you can also buy some jade and put the paper figurine on it.”

While she was speaking, she waved her hand, and Dong Ying’s soul was attracted to it uncontrollably and entered the yellow paper doll.

After a while, the yellow paper doll moved and stood up in Gu Zhisang’s hand.

It was pleasantly surprising: “I can touch the real thing and feel the temperature!”

Gu Zhisang said: “If it’s quick, it will take you a week or two, and if it’s slow, it will take two or three months to raise your soul. Then a messenger will come to take you to the underworld.”

After that, all of Liu Jin’s demands have been fulfilled.

Gu Zhisang stretched out her fingers and touched Liu Jin’s forehead in the air. A faint golden light flowed out from his body, along her fingertips, and sank into Liu Jin’s body.

At that moment, Liu Jin couldn’t tell what it was like, he could feel that something was missing in the depths of his soul, and he felt a sense of loss.

After the matter was resolved, he first called his trusted old helper and asked them to come and pack up his things and carry away Father Liu, who had fainted from a stroke.

The coffin in the living room also needs to be buried as soon as possible, so he contacted the funeral home to make an appointment to lift the coffin for burial.

After everything was dealt with, the big stone in his heart fell completely.

After this incident, he completely admitted what Yu Tongqiu said, that Gu Zhisang was an unfathomable master!

Although Liu Jin knew that merit was important, after all, he couldn’t see or touch it, he still felt that it was not grand enough. If there was a problem with his mother’s soul in the future, he would ask Gu Zhisang for help again, so, he should establish a good relationship with such a strange person.

He suddenly thought of something and said: “Master Gu, your manager Qian Zheng has contacted me several times in the past half a month, saying that the scar on your forehead can’t be recovered. He wants me to give your role to his newcomer artist. He probably hasn’t discussed this matter with you, has he?”

Liu Jin looked at Gu Zhisang’s forehead and found that there were still traces there, but it was far less exaggerated than what Qian Zheng said.

To be honest, he originally wanted to replace Gu Zhisang because of her poor acting skills.

So when he heard that perfect face was flawed, he has no reason to keep her playing the female Si Yujing.

Originally, he was going to agree, but today’s incident happened.

The substitution was impossible, and he was even willing to give her money as a favor.

Gu Zhisang had no interest in filming, but after all, this was the original owner’s biggest wish and obsession, and she signed the contract.

In the “plot” that the system told her, “Gu Zhisang” was replaced because of her disfigured appearance, and she felt that her life was completely hopeless, which led to her subsequent tragedy.

However, Qian Zheng and the newcomer, who stepped on her and sucked her blood, became popular in the circle because of this role.

Gu Zhisang has her own set of principles and always attaches great importance to ‘rules’.

And she, a Buddha, although not interested in the entertainment industry, she was not a softie.

Qian Zheng’s repeated provocations, wishing to ride on her head, and domineering actions, really aroused her disgust.

At this time, the yellow paper doll who had been lying on Liu Jin’s shoulder raised her head.

Dong Ying asked: “What are changing roles? Liu Jin, you want to replace Master Gu?”

Liu Jin hurriedly coughed and said, “What replace her? That’s impossible! Master Gu is the most suitable candidate for this role. It’s just her manager has been misleading me by sending me fake news.”

Gu Zhisang: “… …”

“Director Liu doesn’t have to say things against your will to flatter me, my acting skills are indeed not good.”

Although she doesn’t know how bad the original owner’s acting skills were, she was ridiculed by the whole network. She has never acted, and she doesn’t need to act. The former Taoist Master who always does whatever she wanted has a headache this time.

Dong Ying became interested: “What role will Master Gu play?”

Yu Tongqiu introduced the general plot, and said: “Sangsang’s character is a character set in which a beautiful woman meets a scumbag, and she will be completely blackened when she is emotionally hurt later.”

“Then I can teach Master Gu to act.” Dong Ying smiled wryly and said, “And no one can understand that kind of anger better than me.”

Yu Tongqiu: “… …”

Liu Jin: “… …”

It seems to be true.

Yu Tongqiu’s eyes lit up: “Actually, it’s possible. Sangsang, didn’t the senior brother give you a month of training time? It just so happens that you are going to record a spiritual affair show next time. You will have no time to find an acting teacher. If you bring my master’s there, you can improve your acting skills during your free time.”

“My master’s ability to teach people is really powerful. I achieved my current status in the industry because of her guidance and polishing of my acting skills.”

Liu Jin said: “I have no objection if Master Gu agrees, and it doesn’t have to be so soon. I expect to shoot this drama for more than half a year. The role of Si Yujing is fragmented and not many, so it can be postponed to the end.”

He had seen Gu Zhisang’s ability before, if his mother could be by her side, her soul would recover well then she stays by his side.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Zhisang left Liu Jin’s villa.

On her shoulders was a thin yellow paper doll clinging tightly.

As soon as she got back home, two messages popped up on the mobile phone in her pocket.

Gu Zhisang clicked on it and took a look. One was the script of the fourth episode sent by the ‘Spiritual Affairs’ program team so that the contestants could have a general understanding of the program flow of the fourth episode.

The other one was from the company, informing her that there will be a meeting tomorrow… …
