"Alright, I'll give you a general description."
Li Wenbin nodded upon hearing this and began to describe the strange incidents he had encountered.
It turned out that a while ago, he was indeed filming in Yunnan. That particular drama was a project he had meticulously prepared for many years. After his previous TV series became a massive hit, he achieved both fame and fortune, and his financial freedom for the rest of his life was realized ahead of schedule. With no worries about the future, his sole remaining obsession as a director was to win awards.
Therefore, he thought he should strike while his reputation was still hot. When the production team was established, from casting and script finalization to shooting, he personally oversaw every single aspect. Because the preparatory work was so thorough, the initial filming went incredibly smoothly.
Unfortunately, this smoothness didn't last long. Everything changed after they went on an outdoor shoot. The location they chose was an old opera house that had fallen into disrepair over the years. The entire building was dilapidated, full of a sense of history. Perhaps because no one had visited for a long time, the whole opera house exuded an persistent eerie feeling.
From the moment Li Wenbin stepped inside, he felt an indescribable discomfort, but he endured it and continued filming. And facts proved that when a place makes you feel very uncomfortable, some things should not be continued.
Finally, a prop problem occurred during the filming. When the male actor was on a wire, the steel rope broke, and he fell from above. Fortunately, the overall height wasn't great. After being taken to the hospital, the diagnosis was a fractured left leg. A hundred days for bone and tendon injuries – filming immediately was impossible.
Li Wenbin said, "At that time, I really should have considered changing the set. I shouldn't have treated this as just an accident."
Although the lead actor was injured, it was impossible for the entire crew to stop and wait for him to recover. The cost of renting the venue, plus the daily wages for so many crew members – weren't these huge expenses? They simply couldn't afford to wait!
So, Li Wenbin's plan was to first finish filming the other actors' scenes, then reshoot the male lead's parts later. This was actually a normal operation; a production crew needed to reasonably control labor costs. After all, filming was for making money, not for charity.
And at this point, Li Wenbin's expression became even more grim. He slowly continued. "But who knew, something else happened after just two days of filming?"
This time it was the female lead. While she was acting, a ceramic hot water bottle suddenly exploded without any warning. Shards of ceramic and hot water splattered, almost disfiguring her on the spot.
This incident undoubtedly made the entire crew suspicious. You see, the first time might have been dismissed as an oversight, but two consecutive times? Especially after the first accident, the prop team, from top to bottom, had meticulously checked everything. With such scrutiny, a low-level error like a hot water bottle exploding shouldn't have happened again.
The associate director couldn't help but say, "Could it be that we've offended something unclean?" Such talk of clashing with feng shui was common in director circles, and in serious cases, it even led to fatalities.
Li Wenbin himself was a fan of metaphysics; this could be seen from the fact that he was a fan of the live stream. Coupled with the continuous incidents involving the male and female leads, the entire crew was panicked, and continuing to shoot would not achieve the desired effect. So, he simply gave the crew a few days off.
Because he had nothing to do and was very idle, Li Wenbin occasionally scrolled through live streams, trying to see if he could come across a master's live stream. Who knew it would be such a coincidence that he actually found one and even won the last slot.
He was a veteran of the live stream and clearly understood that being chosen at this time was definitely not simple. At the same time, he was very excited. After all, having problems wasn't scary if there was a master who could solve them.
"If I hadn't gotten picked by the Master this time, I would have gone to other temples to ask for a divination in a couple of days." This script meant a lot to him, and he wouldn't consider giving up unless absolutely forced to. In his view, he had definitely encountered something unclean, and if it wasn't resolved, filming would be impossible. This matter worried him so much that he couldn't sleep well at night. He could feel his energy and memory declining.
After hearing his description, the netizens also felt a chill.
[Holy crap, male lead fractured, female lead almost disfigured. Director Li, did you dig up its grave? Why is it targeting you so much?]
[According to what the Master previously explained, this doesn't even count as a vengeful spirit, since it hasn't actually killed anyone.]
[That's weird then. Causing Director Li to fall behind on schedule means there's a lot of hatred, but it's not actually harming people. What exactly does this thing want?!]
This contradictory behavior confused not only the netizens but even Yaoyao.
"Perhaps, to know the truth, we need to invite that ghost out and ask it directly." Yaoyao said crisply.
Her words confirmed that the fated person had indeed encountered something evil. The reason she didn't recognize it at first glance was that she wasn't constantly maintaining her Sight. After all, such techniques could reveal a person's past and future. Constantly maintaining it, aside from the energy drain, simply seeing someone's past and future at a glance was not a good thing. That's why she didn't immediately see the clues at first glance.
But after the person finished describing, Yaoyao immediately activated her Sight, and with one sweep, she noticed the abnormality in the three "flames" on his shoulders. What should have been crimson flames were now covered in a layer of gray, and even the flames themselves appeared to be on the verge of extinguishing.
"This... how do I invite it then?" Li Wenbin was stunned by the Master's words, then asked. Although he didn't want to see that thing, some problems require the person who caused them to resolve them. However, he had never even encountered the entity, so how could he ask it?
Li Wenbin's heart was full of frustration. He opened his mouth, about to ask, but then he heard the Master's clear and strong voice resounding in his ear.
"This shouldn't be, Uncle. You have such a strong ghostly aura on you, which means your relationship is very close. How could you not know how to invite it? That's really strange!"
Yaoyao's big eyes flashed with a hint of confusion upon hearing the man's answer. The two flames on his shoulders were extinguished, which meant that thing should have been with him every day. And whether it was a ghost or a human, if it appeared frequently, there shouldn't be no trace of it at all.
Upon hearing her reaction, Li Wenbin's eyes widened. Then, as if something clicked, his mind buzzed, a sudden, earth-shattering realization exploding within him.
