Chapter 117: The Craze Caused by

~20 min read 3,950 words

"This is popcorn, this is cola; eating and drinking while watching a movie feels pretty good."

Liu Yao carried a pile of snacks and entered the movie theater.

Zhang Shaoqin still wore a cold expression, as if he were unconcerned with everything.

Beside him, Xiaorou was full of excitement.

The group of four found their seats and sat down.

Liu Yuqing stretched and said, "This kind of life is quite nice."

Of course, it is only nice if it is in moderation.

If he does not work hard, the big-bottomed Senior Sister might end up becoming the Senior Brother's Dao companion, which is something he cannot accept.

Liu Yao looked back: "This movie is quite popular; it's actually packed with people."

"This company has a lot of money; they've been advertising like crazy." A voice came from behind, unexpectedly answering Liu Yao.

The movie had not yet started, and scattered sounds could be heard throughout the theater.

"I hope it's better than 'Hero', otherwise it won't be worth the ticket price."

"I heard the name of this movie is the same as a general named Heize discovered in archaeological excavations a month ago. Does anyone know this general?"

"Never heard of him."

But in the theater, quite a few people had glowing eyes and trembling bodies.

Clearly, they held high expectations for the movie 'Heize'.

Liu Yao, Liu Yuqing, Zhang Shaoqin, and Xiaorou sat casually.

At this moment, the movie began.

The opening of the movie was very Ordinary, no different from usual movies; it was just introducing the background of the film.

Xiaorou watched the movie, slightly dazed: "The image quality is good, and the scenery is also quite nice."

Behind Xiaorou, a bespectacled man adjusted his glasses, his body trembling slightly: "This imagery... these costumes... the level of restoration is too high!"

The bespectacled man was a history enthusiast who had always felt that the Dahuang Mountain Range hid many secrets.

When 'Heize' was released this time, he went to watch it at the first opportunity.

Currently, the very first frame that appeared in the movie shocked him.

In the scene, a six-year-old child held a Spear, practicing spear techniques by the river.

The Spear was longer than he was, and his movements appeared incomparably clumsy.

At this moment, a plump woman walked over gracefully, carrying clothes in her hands.

Zhang Shaoqin watched the movie, slightly dazed: "It is indeed good."

The early part of the movie consisted entirely of practicing spear techniques, interspersed with some small interactions between Heize and Liu Guafu.

It could be said to be extremely boring.

Back then, the experts were shocked when they saw these things.

Now, those who were interested in Heize were also watching with great relish.

As for those who did not understand Heize, they looked at the images on the screen, feeling that it was impressive even if they didn't understand why.

Not even ten minutes had passed, and a third of the people in the theater had already left.

The movie continued.

The content was still very monotonous.

But... the visuals were stunning.

Especially the portrayal of the folk customs of Dafeng; the costumes, terminology, and living habits were all extremely realistic.

The bespectacled man behind Xiaorou became more and more shocked the longer he watched.

"Was this really filmed?"

Among them, other people in the theater also discovered the oddity, or rather, the bizarre nature of this movie.

"Why is there not a single familiar face among the actors in this movie?"

"With such a big production, are they all just random extras?"

"Which actor is the lead? He will definitely be a hit in the future!"

Of course, even if they were random extras, it still left the people in the theater inexplicably shocked.

The acting was not exaggerated; one might even say it was not suited for the big screen.

However, it felt highly immersive, as if they were watching someone else's life.

It was as if the movie before their eyes was actually happening right in front of them.

The movie continued, and many people who had entered the theater had already discovered the bizarre aspects.

The uniqueness of the movie attracted many people.

Especially those who were concerned with the excavations in the Dahuang Mountain Range.

They were originally history enthusiasts and knew a great deal about history.

Now, the local customs and social outlook displayed by this movie could be called perfect; it was simply not something that could be acted out.

"The character 'Ah' was pronounced as 'e' during the Dafeng period; 'Heize' even got this detail right."

"There are many details like this; this movie is simply incredible!"

"Requesting information on the actor who played Heize!"

"Requesting information on the actress who played Jia Xiangjun!"

"Requesting information on the actress who played Feng Taihou!"

Although the plot of this movie was plain, its restoration and presentation of history had reached an exaggerated level.

Many people who loved history felt excited inside, while at the same time, many speculations surged in their hearts.

Liu Yuqing looked at Heize in the movie, his gaze calm, and delivered his judgment: "The performance of this Heize should have reached the limit of an Ordinary person in your world."

Zhang Shaoqin also nodded: "Unless a Strange Human appears, Heize's strength can indeed be considered the strongest."

"It is a pity that he is still far from being able to block ten thousand alone."

"With his current strength, killing dozens of people should be effortless."

"Placed in the army, he would count as an invincible warrior."

Being able to kill dozens of people alone is already incredibly fierce.

A warrior with this kind of martial power, clad in armor and placed in the army to charge and break through enemy lines, could easily scatter an enemy formation of hundreds with a few dozen men.

In an era where no Strange Humans appear, such a martial artist can already be considered peerless.

However, he is still far inferior to a Strange Human.

Xiaorou was also watching the movie: "A friend of mine saw the preview, and she said the later plot is very explosive."

Xiaorou thought of Zhao Xiaoyi.

Zhao Xiaoyi had seen the preview of the movie *Heize* and gave it a very high rating.

Of course, while talking about the movie, Zhao Xiaoyi did not forget to complain that her cousin had stood her up and did not come to watch the movie *Heize*.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoyi did not elaborate on what the later plot of *Heize* was, to avoid spoilers.

"I am very skeptical now about how this movie restored how Heize resisted the Wolf Guard," Xiaorou expressed her opinion.

"Hmm." Liu Yao also became curious, "I am now suspecting that Heize organized a volunteer army to defeat the Wolf Guard."

Up to this point, the movie's portrayal of Heize can be said to be powerful in both martial prowess and strategy.

Of course, his martial power is peerless, but it is still within the realm of humans.

"Perhaps the truth buried in the Dahuang Mountain Range is just like this."

"I am very curious now, how was this movie filmed within a month, and where did they find these actors?"

"I suspect that the first half of this play was *Hero* 2, and they found it looked very similar to the Heize excavated from the Dahuang Mountain Range, so they changed the name directly."

"In the movie, what exactly did Heize rely on to defeat the Wolf Guard?"

"Is the reality the same as in the movie?"

The movie was still ongoing.

The daughterly feelings of Jia Xiangjun and Heize's seven-foot body being pledged to the country added quite a bit of moving sentiment and atmosphere to the entire movie.

Especially when Jia Xiangjun saw Heize for the last time, the reluctance on her face.

Heize's superficial indifference and nonchalance, and the helplessness in his heart.

These were not things that could be acted out by simple acting skills.

On the big screen, however, they were displayed vividly and thoroughly.

A feeling of loving someone but being unable to be with them made many people empathize and shed tears.

The plot continued to develop, and soon, it reached the Wolf Tribe invading Dafeng.

Many of the people watching the movie had already sobered up.

"Strange, according to the current performance, how did Heize defeat the Wolf Guard?"

"It wouldn't be the usual 'cheat' in domestic movies, just giving the protagonist a huge power-up, right?"

Many people were puzzled.

The movie *Heize* was incredibly realistic.

It didn't even pursue the kind of plot twists common in movies; it looked like a beautiful and true story.

The footage continued.

The movie theater, however, erupted.

"No way, he really went to deal with the Wolf Guard alone!"

"What is going on?"

"The first half was history; could the second half have turned into fantasy?"

In the movie, Heize appeared before the Wolf Guard.

He held a Spear, and with one strike.

Many Wolf Guards were swept away.

Heize's combat power seemed to have suddenly increased by a level.

This sparked discussion among many people in the theater.

Especially those who originally did not pay attention to the Dahuang Mountain Range were even more confused.

How could there be such a 'cheating' movie without even any foreshadowing?

And those who were paying attention to the Dahuang Mountain Range, seeing the plot in the movie, felt a terrifying and absurd thought arise in their hearts.

What if... the movie is real?

Did Heize really wipe out the Wolf Guard alone?

"Look quickly, Heize's Spear!" Xiaorou's eyes were very sharp; she stared at that Spear, her gaze trembling.

"Isn't this the Spear that appeared that day?" Liu Yao also recognized this Spear.

Back then, the Bronze King came to invade this world.

At that time, a Dao Sword flew over to resist the Bronze King.

Finally, a Spear flew over, and together they suppressed the Bronze King.

That Spear, isn't it Heize's Spear?

"What is going on?" Liu Yao's head was a bit chaotic, "How could the divine Spear that appeared in reality appear in a movie, and be Heize's Spear at that?"

"What if this... is not a movie?" Xiaorou blurted out.

The few people present were all shaken.

Indeed, this was nothing like a movie.

The imagery on the screen was far too exquisite.

Those tens of thousands of Wolf Guard, a dense, swarming mass, were not something current special effects artists could create.

Especially the clash between Heize and the Wolf Guard; no matter how strong the martial arts director or how good the special effects, they could not display it.

Beside him, Liu Yuqing's gaze surged: "This is not an Ordinary Spear!

This spear already possesses spirit!

This is at least a Treasure!

Only a Treasure could possibly give birth to intelligence!"

Treasures, even in the Taiqing Realm, only number one or two.

Here, he had unexpectedly discovered a Treasure; how could he not be shocked?

"Heize... how is he able to wield a Treasure?" Liu Yuqing was perplexed.

At this moment, he no longer regarded Heize's story as a movie.

With his perception and discernment as a practitioner of Immortal Cultivation, he naturally knew the combat on the screen was real; it simply could not be acted out.

Therefore, he was even more perplexed.

A Treasure—if given to Liu Yuqing, even Liu Yuqing would be unable to wield it.

In the entire Qingluo Sect, perhaps only the Sect Master could unleash the power of a Treasure.

Why would the spear in this Heize's hand suddenly become a Treasure?

And how could Heize be able to wield it?

In the movie theater, the original arguments had now become silent.

On the screen was bloody slaughter.

Only Heize stood alone, a solitary courage, facing tens of thousands of Wolf Guard.

The slaughter continued.

Violence is the romance engraved in a man's DNA.

The slaughter before their eyes was cruel, tragic, and yet shocking.

Heize alone blocked tens of thousands of Wolf Guard.

"I have to say, although Heize's cheating is ridiculous, I dare say this fight scene is absolutely the most realistic one I've ever seen!"

"This kind of slaughter not only doesn't feel disgusting, it even makes me feel the beauty of art. Could it be that I am a pervert by nature?"

"I'm a bit confused. What exactly happened in the Dahuang Mountain Range?

Did the Heize in history defeat the Wolf Guard just like in the movie?"

The slaughter continued.

The Wolf Guard were like leeches, impossible to kill off, charging over while riding Giant Wolves.

Suddenly, the Heize in the movie let out a roar.

"Mountain Puller!"

Instantly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked.

"This... this cheat is too ridiculous!"

"If you can roar a mountain down with one voice, why not roar the Wolf Guard to death!"

"Someone said before that Heize roared a mountain down and buried the Wolf Guard; I thought it was made up, but now I think it's true."

Many people were confusing history with the movie.

Liu Yuqing's gaze trembled: "Heize clearly has no Spirit Power in his body; how is he able to unleash such a powerful Supernatural Power?"

A Supernatural Power of this level, roaring a mountain down with one voice.

In the Qingluo Sect, perhaps only a limited number of Elders could achieve this.

This Heize is a mystery from head to toe!

Suddenly, Liu Yuqing remembered the Martial Emperor.

He could not help but exclaim: "This Heize, if placed in the Wu Kingdom, might just be another Martial Emperor."

Doing what ordinary people cannot do.

With a mortal body, doing things only an immortal can do.

How could this not be shocking and admirable?

"I underestimated the heroes of your world." Liu Yuqing let out a sigh.

Liu Yao was slightly stunned; watching Heize on the screen block ten thousand alone, he suddenly remembered the daydreams he had as a child.

He would transform into a majestic general, galloping across the battlefield, leaving not a single enemy alive.

If he couldn't win, he would just lie on the ground and play dead.

The battle before his eyes could stir one's romantic factors.

However, he looked at Liu Yuqing, his voice somewhat uncertain: "This should be a movie, right?"

"No, this is absolutely not a movie." Liu Yuqing's voice was firm, "How could a mortal film the Supernatural Power methods of an immortal family?"

Zhang Shaoqin had remained silent, but he interjected at this moment: "This... is probably not a movie, but something that happened in reality.

I originally thought my master, Lin Ping, was invincible under the heavens.

But seeing Heize, I realize I was wrong.

If my master were to meet Heize, the two would surely become soulmates."

In the movie, the final slaughter lasted for more than ten minutes.

In the pitch-black mountain forest, only torches cast a glimmer of light.

Heize was covered in wounds, his face ferocious.

On the ground, there were corpses everywhere.

Some were Wolf Guards, some were Giant Wolves.

They were densely packed, covering the entire mountain.

Blood also stained the soil red; blood flowed like a river.

The few hundred surviving Wolf Guards looked at Heize, kneeling on the ground, trembling, their faces filled with both terror and surprise.

Heize's Spear was thrust into the ground; he was covered in wounds, and his life force was fading.

"This life... is lonely after all, but I can barely say it is without regrets..."

He turned his head, seemingly trying hard to look toward the south.

Alas, everywhere he looked was a scene of devastation; the generation's God of Slaughter, Heize, fell right there.

In the cinema, there was silence for a long time.

"If this is true, I hope it is fake."

"I cannot evaluate this movie."

"This is not a movie; this is reality."

Countless people were shocked.

Especially those who were paying attention to the Dahuang Mountain Range.

"Could it be that this movie is about the real Heize?"

"Did Heize really, as in the movie, hold off ten thousand alone and Slay the Wolf Guards?"

"What are you all thinking? This is a movie, not reality!

How could such a person exist in reality?

If there had been a person like Heize in ancient times, our Daxia Clan would have already ruled the whole world!"

"Don't you realize that the special effects in this movie are too realistic? I suspect it's not special effects, but something that actually happened?"

"That claim is simply absurd. Could it be that someone traveled back a thousand years to the Dafeng period to film this?

Is this even more absurd than Heize holding off ten thousand?"

"Don't you realize that not a single actor in this movie is a famous star?

Perhaps it is real!

I will go back later and do a facial search to see who these actors are!"

The discussion in the cinema continued.

The images in the movie had not yet stopped.

The scene shifted.

The tone suddenly became cold and gentle.

Under the dim candlelight, Jia Xiangjun was cutting window flowers all by herself, her expression serene; she suddenly looked up toward the north.

"This seven-foot body is already promised to the country; it is hard to promise it to you again."

"If a three-foot white silk is bestowed upon me, would you be willing to be buried by my side?"

Suddenly, Jia Xiangjun's gaze changed, becoming firm, yet the tears on her face kept rolling down.

"Others cannot see you, but I will light you up."

"Heize, we will meet again, right?"

"I have waited for you for so long, I can barely wait any longer..."

The young girl's eyes were filled with firmness and fortitude, along with a trace of pleading.

In the cinema, many people were moved by this scene.

"What a pity, there is no possibility for Heize and Jia Xiangjun to meet again."

"If the movie is true, the Dahuang Mountain Range was only excavated after a thousand years; Jia Xiangjun must have long since perished, and she didn't even see Heize's corpse."

"Sigh, such a beautiful woman; this life was enough for Heize."

Liu Yuqing watched the movie and was also speechless for a long time.

He thought of his big-bottomed senior sister.

Unfortunately, there would be no such moving love between them.

The screening of "Heize" caused quite a stir in Daxia.

Some said "Heize" was a bad film; the beginning talked about history, but the latter part forced a cheat on the protagonist, which was too magical.

Some said that the fighting and special effects of "Heize" would likely not be surpassed by any movie for a hundred years.

The beauty of the visuals, the restoration of history, and the grandeur of the scenes were unmatched by any other film.

Many people also went to the closed livestream comments of the Dahuang Mountain Range excavation site to ask what was going on with the movie "Heize" and what the history excavated in the Dahuang Mountain Range was like.

Unfortunately, the Dahuang Mountain Range only responded that the movie "Heize" had nothing to do with the Dahuang Mountain Range expert group and was just a movie.

However, the actors of the movie "Heize" had still not been found to this day, which also aroused the suspicion of many people paying attention to the Dahuang Mountain Range incident.

But such posts, when posted online, would immediately be throttled.

One could see them, but others could not.

This caused those people to develop many thoughts in their hearts.

If, at the beginning, only one in ten people guessed that Heize held off ten thousand and Slayed the Wolf Guards.

A small portion truly felt that Heize held off ten thousand.

Now, that one in ten had become four in ten.

Furthermore, twenty percent of them were already certain in their hearts that the movie "Heize" was not a simple film, but something that had truly happened.

This remained inexplicably shocking.

The movie "Heize" stirred up a wave of ripples on the internet.

The box office continued to grow, and the number of people discussing the Dahuang Mountain Range and Heize also increased.

Among them, many people had many thoughts arise in their hearts.

Is this a precursor to the world undergoing a great change?

Is this a hint given to them by the state?

A cool breeze blew by; Lin Chao walked along the riverbank, his gaze calm.

Not far away, some people were jogging, and others were playing ball.

Lin Chao's inner heart was incomparably calm.

With a status of 1, to be precise, in terms of life level, Lin Chao no longer belonged to the category of humans.

But he still wanted to maintain his original heart, or rather, his initial intention, from when he was human.

If he did not have a state of mind that matched his realm, perhaps he would become like Cang Jun.

Humans were, after all, his anchor point.

If he increased his strength but ceased to be himself, then everything would be meaningless.

Just at this moment, the ringtone of his mobile phone sounded.

"Lin Chao, have you watched the movie 'Heize'? It's simply amazing!"

Over the phone, Chen Longxuan's excited voice came through.

"I haven't watched it yet." Lin Chao truly had not watched it.

Last time, Zhao Xiaoyi had invited him to watch the preview.

However, in order to search for those 5 visitors from another world, Lin Chao had to delay it.

"You really should go watch it, highly recommended.

Don't look at how plain the plot is at the beginning, but the ending... it's just incredible."

Lin Chao smiled; he didn't need to watch it at all.

After all, it was something that had happened to him.

"And..." Chen Longxuan lowered his voice, "Our Supernatural Research Society studied it for an entire night and finally concluded that 'Heize' is actually not a movie, but something that truly happened."

"Is that so?" Lin Chao reached out his hand and grasped the passing wind.

The more popular "Heize" became, the more his reputation increased.

To him, this was a good thing.

"Sigh, Lin Chao, your personality is really too... like a salted fish," Chen Longxuan continued, "Not to mention the mysterious atmosphere of the movie 'Heize', it is actually quite good in itself.

Especially at the end of the movie, that scene where Jia Xiangjun is waiting for Heize, the words she said were quite moving."

Lin Chao's hand paused.

At the end of the movie, Jia Xiangjun waits for Heize?

And she said some words?

Associating this with the appearance of the "Heize" movie, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Lin Chao's mind.

PS: I wrote nearly 9000 words in these two chapters; there will be another update at twelve o'clock tonight.

This part of the plot was set to be written from the very beginning.

However, it might overlap with the previous text, making it seem a bit like Water.

But, after thinking it over repeatedly, I still gave Heize a final ending, letting the whole world know him, rather than just those at the very top, so I wrote this plot after all.

It might seem a bit like Water, please forgive me!

PS: Thanks to the big boss 【Fubei Qiao】 for the 5000 reward, the big boss 【Zhu Baorong】 for the 1000 reward, and thanks to 【Feihong Zhi Hubo】 and 【Laike Leimeng】 for their tips, thank you!
