Chapter 432: Worshiping the Medicine King Sun Simiao

~15 min read 2,892 words

The moment this scene was filmed successfully, a round of applause broke out on the scene. All the staff present cheered for Jin Li's performance just now.

"Awesome!"

"Jin Li acted too well!"

"I broke into a sweat for her while watching!"

Some staff members reached out to touch their foreheads; just watching it made them nervous and sweaty.

Everyone discussed the scene just now—

"I almost thought Jin Li was going to fall, but it turned out her body got caught."

"Getting caught is dangerous; what if her upper body gets hurt?"

"Yeah, fortunately Jin Li moved, otherwise we would all have run over to pull her up."

Jin Li was still lying on the high platform. After the excitement brought by adrenaline faded, she felt that everything hurt.

She stood up and saw the staff below shouting: "Jin Li, you can jump down!"

So Jin Li jumped down, and after a while, her body was hung by the wire and slowly descended.

A bunch of staff surrounded her, "Jin Li, where is your body uncomfortable?"

"Jin Li, does your upper body feel painful? Do you want to call for first aid?"

Even Director Chu came over to ask: "Jin Li, do you want to let the doctor take a look?"

Jin Li stood firmly on the ground and eased for a long while, nodding: "Just now my body was hanging on the edge of the high platform, it should have been bumped, I have to let the doctor check it."

Surrounded by a group of people, Jin Li left the filming location first.

Bai Jiang and Xu Ting, who were also watching Jin Li film, had complicated moods.

Xu Ting felt that Jin Li was very driven. If it were herself who encountered that situation, she wouldn't necessarily be able to persist in filming.

She would probably call a doctor the first time, fearing that her body would have severe abrasions from the impact.

Coincidentally, Bai Jiang thought the same.

They had already been beaten by Jin Li's acting once before, and now they were given a hard lesson by Jin Li's professionalism.

Bai Jiang said to himself: "I don't believe such a driven person would hurt others with words behind their backs; there's no need for that at all."

Only people without ability would rely on language to gain sympathy.

True strong people never bother to say it, but take action.

Xu Ting's face stiffened.

She knew Bai Jiang was waking her up, but...

Xu Ting lowered her head, took a deep breath, and threw herself into the heavy training.

Jin Li's side.

The crew had two doctors on set, one male and one female.

The doctors didn't serve the main actors; other supporting roles and background actors could also let them take a look if they had a headache or fever.

The two doctors served everyone in the crew.

As soon as Jin Li arrived at the medical room, she was lifted by the female doctor to check, and the doctor couldn't help but frown.

She reached out to touch several places and asked: "Does it hurt?"

Jin Li: "It hurts, but it just hurts when I go down; it doesn't hurt after pressing for a long time."

The female doctor pressed a few other places and then said: "This is an abrasion, but the abrasion area is very large. You must ice it immediately. It will become purple and blue later, and you have to apply activating oil. Fortunately, there is no bleeding, and the ribs are not fractured."

Jin Li listened to a bunch of things, but only heard the last few sentences.

She asked: "Doctor, I can continue filming in this situation, right?"

Doctor: "It is recommended to rest for a period of time and not to exercise vigorously."

Jin Li: "What if I exercise vigorously?"

The doctor glanced at her, "The abrasion will become more serious, and it may bleed."

Jin Li asked: "Then what if I try my best not to let objects touch my upper body?"

The doctor shook her head: "It's not a question of touching or not, but any movement you make will involve the muscles of the upper body, unless you only do leg movements, but some leg movements also require the tendons of the upper body to provide support."

Jin Li asked without giving up: "Is it okay if I do the movements a little lighter?"

The doctor looked at her silently, already refusing to answer.

Jin Li smiled embarrassedly. According to the doctor, she would definitely have to rest for several days, and the abrasion would become purple and blue at night, and it would become more painful then.

She wasn't someone who hadn't fallen; it often didn't hurt when she just fell, and the pain was bearable, but it wouldn't work after a while.

Jin Li negotiated with the doctor: "It's rare for the crew to build the scene well. I only have two scenes left to film. I want to finish them in one go and then spend several days resting. Do you think it's okay?"

The doctor shook her head: "No, you should be in a lot of pain now, it hurts when you move, and you can't do vigorous exercise."

Jin Li said without hesitation: "If you give me a painkiller injection, I can do it."

She raised her hand and swore: "Give me an hour, I guarantee that I will finish filming those two scenes within an hour, and then lie down and not move immediately."

The doctor was still very hesitant. Jin Li only had abrasions, no bleeding, and no fractures. In fact, she could continue filming, but she was filming scenes of vigorous exercise.

Xiao Cheng followed Jin Li, had already taken ice cubes from the refrigerator, and started to ice Jin Li.

It was cold, and Jin Li's body couldn't help but tremble.

The doctor looked at Jin Li for a few seconds and compromised: "I need to communicate with the director."

Director Chu also came at this time to ask about the situation, and the doctor communicated with Director Chu.

Jin Li took the opportunity to call Chen Qin to ask where she was.

Chen Qin: "Sister Jin Li, I'm looking at flowers outside the Daoist temple. There are many people selling flowers outside this Daoist temple."

Jin Li smiled: "Seeing these flowers, did you think of your old profession?"

Chen Qin said without guilt: "Yeah, I thought of the days when I mixed in the Daoist temple, and I miss Mother Director and the children a bit."

Hearing her say this, Jin Li also remembered that she hadn't been to the orphanage to see them for a long time.

"When I'm not busy filming here, I'll give you two days off. You go back and see, and also help me go to an orphanage to see."

Chen Qin said excitedly: "Okay!"

Jin Li let her enter the Daoist temple. Her body was injured just now, and she was afraid that the injury would worsen, so she wanted to pray for peace of mind.

Chen Qin immediately walked into the Daoist temple, first found the Daoist priest to donate a sum of money, and then asked if the gods in the temple could be filmed.

The Daoist priest took a bamboo tube to Chen Qin and let her draw a lot.

Chen Qin quickly drew a lot.

The Daoist priest took a look and smiled: "This is the best lot; the gods agree to your request."

Jin Li looked at the doctor and Director Chu who were still talking outside, and went to the restroom with ice cubes.

She picked up the video call from Chen Qin and looked, couldn't help but be happy.

It was actually the Medicine King Sun Simiao.

She had never specified which god Chen Qin should worship. There were many Daoist temples nearby, and Chen Qin could go wherever she wanted.

Didn't expect it to be so timely this time, coming to the White Cloud Temple where the Medicine King Sun Simiao was.

The Medicine King Sun Simiao is also known as the Medicine King Sun Great Immortal, the Heavenly Venerable of Kaiyuan Universal Salvation, the Heavenly Venerable of Induction and Universal Salvation, the Miaoying Immortal, etc.

The functional role is "curing diseases and dispelling illnesses," which is managing medicine and health.

Believers worship Sun Simiao to pray for dispelling disasters and prolonging life.

Jin Li scanned the altar. The offerings on the altar were seasonal fruits. It is worth mentioning that pomegranates and sugarcane are taboo as offerings.

After the pomegranate matures, the peel naturally splits. Daoism believes that its form conflicts with the legend of the True Martial Emperor "throwing away his intestines and stomach during his bitter practice." Believers avoid offering items that might trigger negative associations to show awe.

As for sugarcane, it is because it is hollow and segmented. Daoism believes that it symbolizes "emptiness" and "severance," violating the principle that offerings must be "perfect and complete."

Pointing the phone at the statue, Jin Li first bowed three times, and then silently recited in her heart: "Disciple Jin Li in the Yisi year... prays for the Medicine King to protect the wound to heal and the pain to dissipate."

After reciting, Jin Li looked up at the god and felt a mellow force coming from the void and hitting her body, and the pain on her body was reduced a lot.

She lifted her clothes to take a look and found that the large area that was originally red was not so red anymore.

But this wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that the pain in her body was almost gone.

It was originally painful to the point of needing a painkiller injection.

Seeing this, Jin Li didn't hesitate anymore, walked out of the restroom, came to the doctor and Director Chu, and expressed her request to them.

"It's not easy for the crew to build the scene, and today's scene is specially built for me. I don't want to waste it. After icing, I feel it's not so painful anymore, and I want to finish filming the next two scenes."

The doctor said solemnly: "You have large-scale abrasions on your body. The next two scenes are jumping and climbing, which will definitely involve the injured muscles and cause the injury to worsen. I suggest you be more cautious."

Director Chu was originally persuading the doctor, but seeing Jin Li so sure, he was a bit hesitant instead.

"Jin Li, why don't we postpone the filming? It doesn't matter if we wait for you for a few days."

Jin Li smiled bitterly: "Director Chu, I'm afraid it's not just waiting for me for a few days. If you want the purple and blue to completely fade, it may take more than a week, which delays the crew's progress too much."

"Let me try it first. I feel much better after icing. I won't need a painkiller injection for now. If I really can't hold on, I'll come back to get a painkiller injection to finish filming.

I guarantee to finish acting within an hour and will definitely not cause trouble for anyone."

Director Chu was still thinking, but Jin Li urged him instead: "Director, a good state is easy to slip away. If we delay any longer, my state will be worn away. I just want to finish the next two scenes as soon as possible."

Director Chu and the doctor looked at each other and said hesitantly: "Then let's try first?"

He repeatedly urged: "If you feel very painful, we won't film first. Your body is more important."

Jin Li nodded and returned to the filming location with ice cubes.

The doctor still wanted to bandage Jin Li, but was refused by Jin Li because it would be seen after being on camera.

It was red as hell a few minutes ago, but the swelling subsided a few minutes later. She didn't dare to be considered a medical miracle by the doctor.

Even if it was icing, the effect wasn't that excessive.

"Jin Li is here!"

"She is insisting on filming with injuries!"

"I heard from her assistant that the front was all red, and it will definitely be purple and blue later, and she won't be able to film for the next few days!"

"Then why is she filming now?"

"Jin Li said she didn't want to waste the scene we built with such difficulty, and even if she had to take a painkiller injection, she would finish the next two scenes."

Someone couldn't help but sigh: "So professional!"

"Isn't it? Other stars are professional, that's just putting on a show. Jin Li is professional, that's really getting injured and still going up!"

Bai Jiang and Xu Ting both heard the staff's discussion about Jin Li. Now, the pressure was on their side.

Bai Jiang didn't know what he thought of, and a bitter smile crossed his face.

He wasn't afraid of suffering, but he was afraid that he would have to compare himself with Jin Li in the future, and he would only be called professional if he was more professional than others.

This wasn't healthy competition, but internal involution!

On the set, Jin Li started filming again.

This time everyone was watching her nervously, afraid that she would have an accident again.

Jin Li came to the second high frame, silently adjusting her state, calculating a math problem in her mind.

With the efficiency of getting twice the result with half the effort, her memory was very good. The math problem she calculated in her mind before hadn't been solved, so she continued to solve it this time.

At a certain moment, she heard the sound of the director clapping the board in her ear.

A crisp and pleasant "click" sound rang out, and Jin Li seamlessly switched to the script scene. She lay flat on the ground, opened her eyes again, and was Ruan Ruan who had just escaped to life.

Ruan Ruan was breathing heavily in her chest, calming her stimulated heartbeat, and it took a long while before she climbed up from the ground.

She staggered when she climbed up and almost fell. Everyone's heart swayed with her staggering.

So dangerous...

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

Ruan Ruan, played by Jin Li, slowly walked to the edge of this building, measuring the distance. The distance to the next building was lower and closer than the current one.

She took a few deep breaths, scanned the area, saw a faucet on the rooftop, and opened the faucet to drink water.

After recovering a bit of stamina, Jin Li, like before, first walked to a slightly further place, then ran to store power, and then jumped hard—

This time, she easily crossed the distance between the high-rise rooftops, squatted on the ground with her legs, and then rolled a few times.

This roll was naturally rolled on a soft mat, which would be P-ed out later.

After rolling, Director Chu immediately shouted "Cut" and picked up the megaphone to ask nervously: "Jin Li, how is your body, are you okay?"

Jin Li took a breath and grimaced for a long while.

Even if the Medicine King's divine power was infused into her, making her pain reduce a lot, the injury still existed. Rolling involved the muscles in front of her body, so it would naturally hurt.

Jin Li thought that if there was no divine power infusion, the pain on her body would be magnified three or four times, so she couldn't help but shake her head.

At that time, she couldn't help but pray to the gods, unless she took a painkiller injection.

Jin Li didn't speak, so as not to waste stamina, just gave a "OK" gesture to Director Chu below.

The series of movements she just filmed wouldn't necessarily all be cut into the final film, but part of the material would be taken.

So Jin Li improvised. According to the plot written in the script, there was no faucet on the rooftop.

She performed opening the faucet and drinking water without objects, and everyone understood the movements she made.

Bai Jiang and Xu Ting were watching from the opposite side and felt nervous again.

Bai Jiang said in a low voice: "Jin Li's performance without objects is excellent. How is her imagination so good?"

Xu Ting said: "Jin Li said that she has been thinking about what problems in her mind, so she slowly trained it out. You can also try to see."

Bai Jiang had heard the conversation between the two before and also knew this so-called secret of Jin Li.

But no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was unreliable.

Can doing this really work?

Bai Jiang began to believe it a little.

He thought for a moment and, taking precautions, sent a message to his assistant, asking the assistant to buy him a "Five-Three" math workbook for high school students.

The assistant received this message and couldn't help but silently send a: 【?】

But the next second, the assistant immediately retracted it.

Bai Jiang: 【...】

He saw everything, but he didn't want to explain. ===== CHAPTER 433 =====
