Chapter 454: Entering the

With the young Daoist priest maneuvering, Jin Li's request was quickly agreed to.

She first made a video call to Gu Cheng, and Gu Cheng answered in seconds.

March Sky was already prepared. Seeing the Zhong Kui statue appearing on the screen, everyone performed the three-bows-and-nine-knocks ceremony solemnly.

Fortunately, they were in a closed dance practice room, otherwise, a large group of people suddenly kneeling down and knocking their heads three times would definitely shock the surrounding staff.

However, normal people generally wouldn't associate it with worshiping gods, just thinking that they designed such an action in the dance.

After all, dance movements are strange, and actions like drinking and playing drunken boxing, or splashing ink with poetic inspiration, are all actions that many national style dances will design.

After worshiping, the members of March Sky all felt that their bodies were relaxed and their inner pressure was released.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Idealism is the god forever!

Just like people can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, as long as people can pass that hurdle in their hearts, they can change the sun and moon at any time!

After Jin Li waited for them to finish worshiping, she told them about the mantra to avoid villains.

She couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you are worried that you will be unlucky today, recite it a few more times, maybe it can make villains stay away."

"By the way, I also bought you some Six Ding Six Jia amulets. This charm is to summon the Six Ding (Yin God Jade Maiden) and Six Jia (Yang God Jade Male) to protect, and the charm paper has been opened by a Daoist priest, which can make you drive away evil."

Although the Six Ding Six Jia amulets hadn't been sent yet, the members of March Sky felt that they were safer, their moods were not restless, and there were more smiles on their faces.

Even when practicing dancing, they all had a mysterious confidence—

Today will definitely be safe and sound, and no accidents will happen!

Obviously, the amulet hasn't arrived yet, but everyone's spirit is different.

Chen Lin was very unhappy with He Yan, the minister who parachuted into the public relations department, and recited the mantra to avoid villains whenever he had free time.

Not only that, he also specifically changed the content of the villain mantra.

"Heaven is clear and earth is peaceful, evil spirits do not invade; righteous energy protects the body, He Yan villain stays away!"

"Yes, He Yan villain, stay away from He Yan villain, Zhong Kui the god recognizes this villain, he parachuted to become the minister of the Tianding public relations department, and everyone in the public relations department has had bad luck for how many generations!"

"Achoo!"

In the public relations department of Tianding Entertainment, He Yan felt that his body was a bit uncomfortable and sneezed frequently.

He turned his head to look back quickly, guessing if someone was speaking ill of him.

But there was no one behind him, and every employee passing by in front of him greeted him enthusiastically when they saw him.

He Yan muttered: "Could it be that I have a cold? Tsk, it's really unlucky!"

When Jin Li was worshiping Zhong Kui, in Pond Village, the village chief still decided to make a trip to the next village, hoping they would cooperate in finding the spreader of the rumors.

But the village chief of the next village completely ignored the village chief of Pond Village. After entering the door, not only was there no tea, but he was smoking a pipe and occasionally glanced at the village chief of Pond Village, his eyes not very friendly.

The village chief of Pond Village said a lot, and felt thirsty, and finally concluded: "So can you please ask the villagers in your village to cooperate?"

The village chief of the next village shook the ash in the pipe and scratched his ear: "What cooperation are you talking about?"

The village chief of Pond Village suppressed his temper and said: "Cooperate in investigating who spread such an outrageous rumor?"

"Is it outrageous? I don't think it's outrageous. Your Pond Village is very glorious. You could produce top scholars in the past, and now you can be favored by the crew to film, transform into a tourist village, and every household can send money."

That person changed the subject, "Besides, there are indeed many old people in your village, this is not wrong! There are many old people, doesn't it mean your village's water is good, your village has many ponds, go for a swim in the pond, no disease and no disaster, how good!"

Obviously, they were words of praise, but the village chief of Pond Village just felt that everything was wrong.

He didn't know yet that this was called "Yin and Yang strange air."

He said: "How can we be so good? Isn't this wearing a high hat for us, praising us to death? This kind of atmosphere cannot be opened!"

"Praise to death? I don't think so."

"Your village has already submitted a report to the higher authorities to repair the road. I heard that the county is going to approve one million for you. That is one million! It is enough to repair dozens of roads in the village, and your village occupies it all."

"Your village is very good, it is too good, the county only has your village, and they don't look at our other villages."

"Your village should be famous, I think this kind of rumor is quite right, your village is powerful, and the reputation should be spread."

The village chief of Pond Village also reacted at this time. They didn't want to cooperate, but wanted to dig and mock Pond Village!

The village chief's face turned red, his neck was thick, and he said with heavy breathing: "Dog fart one million, I just submitted the application report, how do I not know that there can be one million? If not, will you compensate me?"

This righteous appearance made the other village chief confused.

That person said vaguely: "Anyway, it's spread like this outside. Your village was approved for one million road repair funds. Get out, you came to me to show off! What rumors, no one in our village said this!"

The village chief of Pond Village was unceremoniously driven out.

He was puzzled in his heart, and suddenly reacted, could it be that the county really has this news, and it was known in advance?

The village chief's brain turned extremely fast, slapped his thigh and said: "No, I have to go to the county. If one million is really approved, I must get it back as soon as possible, otherwise other villages will want to come and divide it, and I don't know how much will be left by then!"

Ye Weijie didn't know that the village chief went to the next village to investigate, and finally ran to the county.

He knew that the rumor was spread from the next village, and felt that the matter could not be investigated.

Although the Qi family hadn't been to the pond these days, they all stayed in the villa.

But because they were too quiet, it seemed unusual.

I haven't heard that the Qi family are homebodies!

Listening to other villagers, every time the Qi family returns to their hometown, they will engage in various lively activities to tell outsiders about their glory.

Now they don't go out, it looks more like they are going to do "big things" silently.

Ye Weijie lay on the lounge chair in the yard and basked in the sun, flipping through "The Art of War" in his hand with irritability, wanting to find a way to deal with it from the ancient books.

The assistant saw the book in his hand and asked curiously: "Where did you get 'The Art of War'?"

There is no library in Pond Village, and there is no bookstore specifically selling books.

Ye Weijie pulled out a tissue, wiped the forehead that was slightly hot from the sun, and said:

"Shopping platform 9.9 free shipping, it was sent by Dongfeng Express today after I placed the order yesterday. You can also open the shopping platform to see if you can get a large voucher."

"Since the shopping platform introduced the takeout channel, the whole world is frantically sending vouchers. From time to time, you can get a 25-20, 20-14, and various fixed prices. This book was bought through a fixed price."

The assistant opened the phone and said strangely: "But isn't it limited to takeout? I haven't heard that online shopping also has activities."

Ye Weijie had an expression of "you are ignorant."

"You don't understand this, what is the shopping platform rolling for takeout? The purpose of rolling takeout is to compete for traffic."

"And what is the shopping platform best at? It is online shopping. The traffic obtained from takeout can also benefit online shopping."

"Online shopping doesn't seem to have vouchers at the moment, but the platform has opened same-city flash delivery. Recently, a bookstore has been on the same city, and the discounted single item is selling this 'Art of War' to rush the order!"

Ye Weijie patted the "Art of War" in his hand. Although this is a children's version, it does not affect the value of "The Art of War" at all.

It's just that the cover is a bit cartoonish. If you don't open it to see the content, who knows that it is full of illustrations.

No, full-color illustrations are actually more expensive than full text, and he also picked up a leak!

Ye Weijie thought beautifully in his heart.

As a result, the assistant said, "What? I only bought a copy of *The Art of War* for 9.9, and I still have a bunch of the Four Great Classical Novels at home that I snagged for ten cents. This flash sale event really isn't generous enough!"

The smile on Ye Weijie's face stiffened.

"A dime? Can that book be true? Don't buy a pirated version!"

The assistant didn't take it for granted: "Can pirated versions be sold at a loss? The Four Great Classics I bought each have anti-counterfeiting marks, and they are all hardcover versions mentioned in the link."

Ye Weijie:...

The children's version of "The Art of War" in his hand suddenly didn't smell good.

It was his fault, just get the voucher and order takeout, why did he have to open the online shopping channel to buy things!

Suddenly, he looked down at the book in his hand and saw one of the sentences at a glance.

"War is a matter of deception. Therefore, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near."

Ye Weijie's brain flashed, and he stood up straight.

If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain.

The Qi family is trying to hold back something big, so I will go to the door and see what they want to do!

After Ye Weijie knocked on the door of the Qi family, Jin Li and others also finished filming the video and photos and returned from the Daoist temple.

After Jin Li came out of the Daoist temple, she specifically felt her physical condition.

She was in seclusion in Pond Village, and there was a meager spiritual energy in Pond Village, so her body was very comfortable and there was no discomfort.

It was also because her physical condition was very good, so after this worship, Jin Li did not feel any divine power pouring into her body.

"But if no divine power is given, usually an ability will be awakened, so what ability did I awaken?"

Jin Li pondered in her heart, staring at the assistant and Sister Fang for several seconds, without discovering anything from them.

Her eyes flickered slightly, if it wasn't the ability to spy on others, then it was the ability bestowed upon herself.

Thinking of Zhong Kui's function, Jin Li already had a guess, but felt it was unlikely.

After all...

She had been in this world for so long, she had only seen unlucky people who were about to kick the bucket, but had never seen a ghost.

Perhaps it was her limited ability, even if she met one, she didn't see it?

By the time Jin Li and the others returned to the Daoist temple, it had been an hour and a half later.

They returned to the courtyard and had to pass by the Qi family's big villa.

At this time, they found that many villagers had gathered in the Qi family's villa. The villagers were chatting and whispering, and their eyes were flashing with excitement to watch the play.

"Did Ye Dao really go in?"

"Went in, I saw him go in with my own eyes. He talked to the Qi family outside the door for half an hour before the Qi family let him in."

"Oh, it took so long to let him in, will there be any accidents?"

"Where would there be an accident? If Ye Dao really had an accident, wouldn't it be clear that it was done by the Qi family? The Qi family definitely wouldn't want to carry this dirty water!"

Jin Li listened to the general idea and took the initiative to ask the villagers, "Grandma, what is Ye Dao doing at the Qi family's house?"

The grandmas talked all at once—

"Ye Dao went for the pond in their house, wanting them to offer the pond for filming!"

"No, not offer, it's rent! Ye Dao said he wanted to rent their pond, and the nine ponds in Pond Village should all appear in the movie together."

"No, not rent, I stood by and listened very clearly, Ye Dao clearly said he wanted to visit, wanting to see what is different about their pond from other ponds!"

"No, you heard wrong, you just listened for a while and left. Only I listened to the whole thing. Ye Dao said to let the Qi family sell the pond and don't occupy it privately!"

Jin Li and others looked at each other.

They walked to another corner with fewer people, and Sister Fang asked Jin Li: "Should we go in and see?"

Chen Qin was hesitant: "Can we go in? Those villagers didn't go in."

Xiao Cheng: "The gate is closed, the Qi family doesn't want other people to go in, right?"

Sui Lingfang felt more uneasy the more she thought about it.

She had heard Jin Li mention the risks of Pond Village, and the biggest boss in the village was the Qi family.

Ye Dao entered the Hongmen Banquet alone, the banquet is not a good banquet!

Jin Li suddenly said: "Did Ye Dao's bodyguards go in?"

Chen Qin: "No, the bodyguards are like rows of iron towers, all waiting outside."

Jin Li smiled slightly: "We have no reason to break in, but the bodyguards do, after all, they have to protect the safety of their employer."

Jin Li and others walked to the bodyguards and said a few words. After a while, this group of bodyguards came to the gate of the Qi family.

One of them performed a wall-climbing stunt on the spot. The Qi family's nearly two-meter-high wall was just stepped on by his legs, and he borrowed a little strength to climb up.

"Wow!" The watching villagers couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Who is this? Too powerful!"

"Masters are among the people!"

"Looks strong, looks like a martial arts genius!"

After a while, the bodyguards who went in opened the gate outside the Qi family.

The gate was wide open, and the bodyguards guarding outside filed in.

Seeing these bodyguards go in, a few bold villagers turned their eyes and followed in.

Someone took the lead to go in, and the remaining villagers didn't hesitate and entered the Qi family's mansion together.

People who hadn't been in the villa, just looking at the appearance, couldn't imagine how magnificent the layout inside the villa was.

The villagers didn't think much, just like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden—learned something!

"Wow, look at the flowers and plants they tend, they are different from the wild flowers and weeds outside."

"Not only that, look at the small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and towers here!"

"Looking from the outside, the area of the Qi family is not big, but walking in, I know we underestimated the great wealth of the Qi family!"

Some villagers said sourly: "The Qi family has developed outside, never mentioning to promote fellow villagers, occupying all the wealth of our whole village!"

The Qi family and Ye Weijie didn't know that the villagers had walked in.

They were in the lobby of the villa, unfolding a tug-of-war over that pond.

The villagers had listened vaguely outside the door before. Ye Weijie knocked on the door to discuss with the Qi family to open the pond in the villa for the crew to film.

And Ye Weijie was not asking the Qi family to provide it for free.

He was paying!

But the Qi family refused immediately and wanted to close the door.

If it weren't for many villagers gathered around, and Ye Weijie had noticed their meaning in advance, shouting: "Your Qi family's thinking is not good, don't you want Pond Village to develop!"

Otherwise, the Qi family would have closed the door long ago.

Later, they wanted to close the door several times, but Ye Weijie pulled the door frame with his hands and squeezed in.

Now, Ye Weijie wanted to visit the pond, but the Qi family wouldn't let him see it.

If seen by outsiders, their pond was emptied of water, empty, what should they say?

Qi Zhan saw that no matter what he said, he couldn't get rid of Ye Weijie, and his father Qi Zhihong had already returned to his room to rest halfway. After thinking left and right, he used his trump card.

"Ye Dao, let's do this, our family will donate another 100,000, but the pond in the villa cannot be filmed."

?? Tomorrow is the real weekend, and I will have a holiday tonight. I wish you all a happy weekend! (*≧▽≦)
