Chapter 295: A Song of

It has been nearly 20 years since "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" first aired.

In the past, the internet was not well-developed, but now it is.

After so many years, many people on the internet are still arguing about the 【Dao】 of the three individuals: the Sword Saint, Jiu Jianxian, and Li Xiaoyao; one can imagine the extent of its influence.

At this moment, many industry insiders were bewildered.

"Do audiences really engage in such divergent thinking over such philosophical questions?"

Many production teams are actually accustomed to treating the audience like fools, as if only shallow things can interest them.

This group of people feels that once things become too profound or too professional, the audience will lose interest.

Therefore, many workplace dramas are just wearing a workplace skin; they won't tell you anything about the actual workplace, won't consider professionalism, and instead perform love triangles all day long.

An "internet war" raised its curtain that very night; everyone held their own opinions, and men and women, young and old, all jumped into the fray.

"I don't think there's a problem with the Sword Saint's 【Dao】; the Fate of the Nuwa Descendant is to sacrifice! Even if Jiu Jianxian Mo Yixi hadn't given the pendant to the Sword Saint, even if he had encountered Qing'er holding another pendant, Fate would not have changed because of that!"

"Bullshit 'following the Heavenly Dao'; if everything is predetermined, then why the hell are you cultivating the Dao? If Heaven wants you to be enlightened, you'll be enlightened; why the hell are you even coming down from the mountain?"

"【Supreme Good Like Water】, do you understand?"

"I laughed; what's the point of attaining the Dao like that? Isn't he still just a lonely man?"

"I'm siding with Jiu Jianxian anyway; reporting the Sword Saint for selling out his teammates with a full build at the start!"

"+1, the Sword Saint is a fucking Actor, and the kind you can't successfully report; a coward hiding behind the banner of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Actually, this is 【Following】 versus 【Opposing】; one is following the laws, the other is being obstinate."

"Jiu Jianxian is in the midst of the rolling red dust, unable to let go of love, hate, and enmity; he cultivates the Red Dust Dao, while the Sword Saint cultivates transcendence!"

"Bosses, the answer to who is higher and who is lower is already there, haven't you seen that Jiu Jianxian can't beat the Sword Saint?"

The arguments on the internet meant that Luo Mo's social media accounts on major platforms received at least tens of thousands of tags and private messages every day.

After all, he was the lead actor, as well as the director and screenwriter, so everyone felt he could provide an accurate answer.

But in reality, Luo Mo had also thought about this question.

In his view, on the surface, it seemed that Jiu Jianxian never let go from beginning to end; he never truly 【attained the Dao】.

But Luo Mo felt that Jiu Jianxian ultimately did attain the Dao!

Jiu Jianxian didn't drink that heavily before; the reason he drank was actually to escape, because he couldn't let go.

Because of the pendant and various other factors, he fell in love with Qing'er.

But due to the addition of various reasons, he had a relationship with the Holy Maiden, hurting this woman who loved him.

By the way, when everyone was watching the show, many people might not have realized who the actress playing the Holy Maiden was.

In "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", she seemed "plain in appearance".

But years ago, she could be said to have captivated thousands of young men.

The few restricted-rating films she shot made many young people view her as their dream lover, willing to offer up their billions of descendants for her.

Back to the topic... from this, it can be seen that alcohol actually symbolizes Jiu Jianxian's bottleneck.

The moment he acknowledged the identities of Anu and the Holy Maiden, and threw away his Gourd to go rescue Anu... he had actually already seen through his own 【Dao】!

The karmic obstacles and inner demons were gone; he had attained the Dao!

It's just a pity that he was killed by the Drama later on, dying at the hands of his controlled daughter, Anu.

On the other side, the second episode of "Masked Singer" was also about to air.

If "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was shining brightly in the field of serial dramas, then "Masked Singer" was singing high praises all the way in the field of variety shows.

After the first episode aired, everyone started looking forward to the second.

Because there were too many highlights in the second episode.

First, one person would be eliminated in this episode, and then they would reveal their face on the spot!

Second, the standby Singer from the previous round would also face a challenge from a challenger Singer, and only one of the two would remain!

That is to say, tonight, the identities of two masked singers would be known.

Many netizens started "betting pools" online, or made flags with their friends; everyone was very concerned about the true face under the mask!

Of course, many people were also looking forward to the new song brought by the 【Superstar】.

"A Person Like Me" could be called a huge hit during this week.

Since Luo Mo burst onto the scene, this guy had taken bite after bite of the big cake of the music market, with a momentum that threatened to occupy half the territory.

In recent years, apart from Luo Mo, there hadn't been any Newcomer that brought Surprise; instead, some veterans were all going downhill.

Such as the likes of Zhao Xueqin in front of the camera, Huang Xishan who had already retired behind the scenes, and the likes of Yuan Hewen whose reputation had plummeted.

In the 【Superstar】, many people saw a side as ordinary as themselves.

But the feeling he gave people was not depressing at all; on the contrary, it was very warm.

Even his Boss seemed to be a very warm person.

He even gave him a message: "Go and shine, rather than be illuminated."

Luo Mo never expected that one day he would be crowned with the title of 【Warm Man】 by netizens.

These days, being a warm man isn't popular!

If you look good, people can still call you a warm man; if you look ugly, then that's just a bootlicker.

This world is truly too cruel to you ugly people.

At nightfall, Luo Mo didn't come to cook for Xu Chujing today; he went to get busy with matters regarding "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Why did the Creator give men two hands?

Isn't it just to grasp both career and Romance with both hands!

At this moment, Xu Chujing was curled up on the sofa, her legs slightly tucked in, which perfectly accentuated the contours of her legs and hips beneath her silk pajama pants.

Tao Jie Chen Shanqi's peach-like hips were the result of years of gym training; the power behind those hips after years of work was something an average person couldn't handle.

Xu Chujing, on the other hand, relied on her natural gifts.

This woman looked like she had immense potential, worth investing in.

Because Luo Mo didn't come over to cook today, she felt a slight sense of loss.

She used to be accustomed to solitude; when not working, she preferred to stay home, finding it more comfortable.

Many celebrities, after facing the camera for too long, prefer to stay alone in private, as this allows them to shed all defenses and disguises.

But because this "uninvited guest" Luo Mo frequently intruded into her life, she felt her home was a bit desolate today.

A flat of over four hundred square meters in Shanghai, living alone, was indeed a bit empty.

The worst part was that she had been bored earlier and finished reading all the updates of the fan-fiction about her and Luo Mo written by the female technician... no, the female Psychologist.

The progress in the story was much faster than the reality between her and Luo Mo; not only did they hold hands, but they even kissed!

This made Xu Chujing's peach-blossom eyes look slightly alluring, her face flushed a faint red, and as she curled up on the sofa with her legs hooked, her hips beneath the silk pajama pants became even more prominent.

After finishing the fan-fiction, the Heavenly Queen felt even more empty in both body and soul.

"I should find something to do," the Heavenly Queen Xu thought to herself.

She opened Penguin Video on the TV and selected the variety show "Masked Singer".

Luo Mo had never told her his true identity as 【Superstar】 and 【Earth】, otherwise, she was Afraid she would have been binge-watching this show long ago.

Strictly speaking, the reason Xu Chujing was interested in this show was because of that social media post from Luo Mo, where he shared the song "Someone Like Me" and praised the songwriter 【Earth】.

The competition in the second episode of this variety show was actually getting white-hot, because two people had to face Elimination.

In an S-tier variety show like this, everyone wants to sing a few more songs.

Since 【Superstar】 had the highest number of votes in the previous episode, his performance order was sixth.

This show is not very friendly to replacement Singers, as they have to perform first and are responsible for warming up the stage.

In fact, many who come as replacements are one-hit wonders, just looking for some exposure.

The replacement Singer for the second episode went by the code name 【Witch】.

As soon as Xu Chujing heard her voice, she chuckled and said, "I could tell it was Ye Qingqing from the very first line."

"She really didn't disguise herself at all," Xu Chujing thought.

As one Singer after another took the stage, Xu Chujing watched the show and found it fairly interesting, but it was still a bit inferior to "King of Love Songs".

Overall, the main reason was the clear gap in song quality and the vocal skills of the Singers between the two shows.

Five Singers had already finished, and Xu Chujing was confident she could guess the true identities of three of them.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that watching this variety show alone was meaningless; finding someone to watch it with and guessing together would be more fun.

As for who to find and who to watch with, it went without saying.

—Damn it, I'm feeling lonely again!

Xu Chujing wondered if she had read too much fan-fiction and had become a bit "love-brained."

"Is my brain broken?" she thought.

At this moment, the most anticipated masked Singer, 【Superstar】, had already taken the stage.

The entire stage still had no extra lighting or elaborate stage design.

There was only a high stool in the center of the stage and a faint white light shining on 【Superstar】.

This scene was perhaps meant to reflect the phrase: "Go and shine, rather than be illuminated."

He didn't need excessive stage lighting; when he was Singing, he was already dazzling.

If one were watching this on a computer at this moment, they would definitely see a string of "Loop" comments: "Looking forward to it!"

You must know that after Luo Mo shared "Someone Like Me" on his social media, many people followed suit and shared it on their own feeds.

So this week, it could be said that this song was flooding everyone's social media.

Many people had been keeping the song on Loop for a long time, so naturally, they were even more expectant of a new song.

In the second episode, the intro to the new song was still of the simple and melodic kind.

But it had a strong sense of storytelling that could pull people in.

This style of intro would naturally make people think of the word "Time".

The song followed a path that leaned towards the Folk style.

Listening to the melody for now, it didn't have a stunning intro, but it was comfortable to listen to.

If Luo Mo wanted to show off his compositions more on the stage of "King of Love Songs", then in "Masked Singer", he was going to properly show off his lyrics.

On the big screen, a few lines of large text began to appear.

The lyricist and composer of this song was none other than that strangely named 【Earth】.

A creative newcomer who was temporarily hailed as the 【Second Luo Mo】.

"I'd like to see if he's worthy of being called the Second Luo Mo," Xu Chujing thought, feeling protective.

And the title of this song is...

—"Dissipating Worries"!
