Five thousand year old monk in the entertainment industry (1): A cultivator who practices Taoism in the secular world

Chu Feng and Si Qi worked together for a whole day without warning, and went to work together the next day. Everyone in the army who saw them appear side by side immediately noticed something was wrong.

This ambiguous atmosphere, this intimate look, this was obviously the reaction of being full and satisfied…

Especially God 7’s eyes, which were more lustful than before!!

Not only alphas, even omegas couldn’t stand it!

The group of people didn’t dare to discuss in front of Si Qi. They blushed and exchanged hints with their eyes, then nodded in tacit understanding, confirming each other’s ideas.

Then, Si Qi put down his coat and gloves, tied up his shoulder-length hair with a rubber band, and prepared to go to work.

Everyone in the office exclaimed, “Oh my god, what did I see?” and stared at his fair and tender neck in shock.

Si Qi looked up at the crowd in confusion, and subconsciously touched his neck where the gland should be, wondering what was wrong with these guys.

Was it because he tied his hair up? But the reason he had long hair before was just to cover the glands that might appear in the future. Now that he had become an alpha, he no longer cared about it.

Everyone’s faces were red, and in a panic they all found excuses to slip out of the office, lowering their voices and shouting at the top of their lungs: “Ahhhhhhhh!!!!”

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

“They are really together!!!”

“Look at that kiss mark!! Oh my god, the Marshal is too passionate!!!”

“Can the small body of God 7 withstand the 3S-level physique?”

“You must be kidding. Our God 7 is at the peak of level 2S! How can he not withstand this?”

“Wuwuwu… My male god, my male god has been conquered just like that…”

“Hey, think positively, he is a marshal, and he is more than enough to match our God 7.”

“Wuwuwuwu… I can’t bear it anymore. I want to tell everyone this news so that they can feel the sadness I am feeling now.”

“…Are you a devil???”

Regardless of how chaotic the subordinates outside were, the girl flew over on a machine and said with a smile: “You just told me it was impossible the day before yesterday morning, but you were with Chu Feng the day before yesterday afternoon? You moved really fast.”

But it was consistent with Si Qi’s usual style.

Si Qi said embarrassedly: “How do you know it was the afternoon before yesterday?”

The girl raised her eyebrows: “Yo! From the afternoon of the day before yesterday until this morning, you didn’t even use a communication software, nor did you cook a meal. You didn’t eat, drink, or go online. What else could you be doing?”

Si Qi’s face was red as if blood was about to drip out, and he put his arms to his head: “Enough! Stop talking!”

“Hmph, if you don’t want to tell me, then don’t tell me. I haven’t asked you for the matchmaker fee yet!” The girl cursed with a smug smile and handed Si Qi something: “Here, this is my wedding gift for you. It’s more useful than the mecha I gave you last time – even that little guy can use it!”

“Thank you.” Si Qi took it and said awkwardly, “I’ll send you wedding invitations when the date is confirmed.”

The girl wondered: “Didn’t you get married once~?”

Si Qi recalled the scene when he married Chu Feng (Chu Qiuhuai) in this world, and his face suddenly turned redder.

He stammered, “That’s different.”

The girl curled her lips and said in a disgusted tone: “You must stay together this time.”

Si Qi: “Yeah…I will.”

Not only this time, but also next time, the next time, and forever. They would be together happily.

The news that Si Qi and Chu Feng were together spread quickly throughout the entire army, and the soldiers in the army all made sounds of wailing or celebration.

Some commanders who had followed Chu Feng back alive from the battlefield on the edge of the galaxy said with emotion: “They are finally together this time.”

The soldiers nearby became curious and asked, “From what you said, are you saying that they had a romantic relationship before?”

Another soldier also said quickly: “I heard that before God 7 became an alpha, the two of them liked each other! But at that time, neither of them confessed their feelings to each other, and because of those things, God 7 chose to become an alpha, so they never decided to be together…”

“I’ve heard what you said, too. This is too cruel.”

The commanders looked at the soldiers around them talking about this and smiled mysteriously: “Do you believe in reincarnation?”

The soldiers all said: “This is feudal superstition!”

The commanders snorted, “What an ignorant fellow.”

The soldiers rolled their eyes and said, “But it doesn’t mean we can’t listen to it.”

The commanders chuckled, pretending to be mysterious and trying their best to suppress the corners of their mouths from rising: “Do you know why it is such a coincidence that our God 7 is named Si Qi?”

“Why why?”

“Isn’t it because his parents want to take advantage of Lord Si’s fame?”

The commander shook his head and said word by word, unable to control his excitement: “Because God 7 is Lord Si!!!”

The people around were shocked: “What?!”

The commander’s face flushed with excitement. “And you know what’s even more amazing? Our general is the reincarnation of the emperor! He is Emperor Chu Qiuhuai!!!”

All the soldiers were shocked, their faces filled with shock: “No way?!!”

This was the moment when their worldview was shattered.

As the news of Si Qi and Chu Feng being together spread, the story of their past life marriage spread among the people. Although this matter had never been officially confirmed by the two people, it still spread quickly to the universe and reached the ears of many aliens.

Everyone who heard the story felt an indescribable romance. They all said that Si Qi and Chu Feng were destined to be together for life.

When he woke up again, the view changed from dark to bright, and he saw a spacious and stylish modern living room. The dark gray marble floor was neat and cool.

There was hardly any bright color in the house, and even the furniture and decorations were pitifully sparse, making it looked like an exquisite model house, interpreting decadence and desolation to the extreme.

A piece of gossip was playing on TV. The content was that a popular young actor was caught having a tryst with his middle-aged sponsor late at night. Public opinion was abuzz, and the young actor hid in his home, locked the door and dared not respond.

Si Qi looked at the gloomy face of the popular young actor in front of the screen, and then looked at his own world-weary face reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the living room, which was exactly the same as the popular young actor’s.

“…………”

So he had become a celebrity with a bad reputation in the entertainment industry, right?

With a slight wave of the hand, the navy blue curtain on the floor-to-ceiling window was pulled up, as lightly as if someone had pulled it with their hands.

Such a bizarre thing made Si Qi think to himself, as expected. After he came to this world, he felt the ubiquitous spiritual power in the air, proving that the identity of this body was a cultivator.

He closed his eyes and began to recall his memory. The memory was a bit long and it took him a while.

The civilization of the original owner’s country could be traced back to five thousand years ago.

The original owner’s age was just as long as the history of this country.

He was born in this country when he was young. By chance, he obtained a method of cultivation and began to practice it.

This technique was different from the one Si Qi had in mind, which required meditation and circulation of spiritual energy to improve cultivation. It mainly relied on worldly insights, tempering one’s mind, improving one’s alignment with the Way of Heaven, and then entering a higher realm and gaining more power.

This practice had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that you didn’t need to spend a long time in meditation to practice, which would waste time.

The disadvantage was that when the degree of alignment with the way of Heaven was too high, every word the cultivator said contained a Heaven’s oath, and it was not easy to make a promise.

Moreover, it was easy to develop mental demons if you came into contact with too many people and experienced too many things.

Five thousand years ago, society was not as prosperous as it is today. There were only a few people coming and going in small places, working hard all day long. If one wanted to understand the true meaning of life, one could only feel how delicious the corn tasted today.

Therefore, the original owner mainly lived in the capitals of various countries. Because of his gentle personality, sincere attitude and extraordinary ability, he would attract major forces nearby to lean on him wherever he went. He then made friends with many wealthy and powerful people and children of famous families, and was involved in all kinds of conspiracies and struggles.

Fortunately, as a monk, no matter how big the trouble he encountered, it was not a big trouble.

Thousands of years passed, dynasties came and went, things changed, people and things were no longer the same, the good and the bad all disappeared, but he remained the same.

He was worldly-wise yet not worldly. He was not tempted by money or power, nor was he constrained by ethics and morals. He looked carefree and detached from the world, like a banished immortal. Who knew how many powerful and beautiful women had fallen for him.

Therefore, even if he did not take the initiative to contact others, many people in power who had noticed his ability would approach him intentionally for various purposes, trying to keep him by their side, expand their territory, and create a great cause for the ages.

In order to maintain his worldly state, the original owner would basically agree readily, spend decades assisting the other party, and time and again use his sincerity and true feelings to try his best to feel every stage of life.

However, not every relationship was worth it.

After gaining tremendous power, many people in power no longer satisfied their material desires. They longed for longevity and immortality. They saw with their own eyes that the original owner remained young and handsome for decades, and could call the wind and rain and split the mountains and seas, so they tried every means to make the original owner tell them the secrets of immortality, and even threatened and intimidated them with the lives of people the original owner cared about.

The friendship that had lasted for decades, through thick and thin, had become nothing but empty talk in the face of power.

The original owner would certainly not allow those in power to live forever. After coldly refusing, these emperors who believed that everyone in the world should obey them would always look at him with hatred and roar angrily, “If you really regard me as your confidant as you say, how could you watch me die of old age”, as if the original owner was the most hypocritical one, as if their own death was all the original owner’s fault.

After trying many methods such as begging, threatening, and showing deep affection without success, they would begin to bind the original owner with the oath between the two parties, requiring the original owner to protect their dynasty for the rest of his life and allowing his descendants to enjoy wealth and glory forever.

Even if they die, they required the original owner to stay and fulfill their wishes.

They would stare at the original owner with those familiar greedy eyes, and say word by word: “After I die, you must find a way to resurrect me”, “I know you can’t escape the contract, otherwise you will be hit by the thunder, don’t blame me for being cruel, I am just a mortal after all.”

After being sincere time and time again only to be met with such results, the original owner, no matter how gentle and friendly his personality was, would always get tired.

He was fed up with the stupidity, betrayal, and mistakes of human beings, and unknowingly developed a demon in his heart. Whenever he saw something he didn’t like or noticed the ugly side of human hearts, he would become suppressed and angry.

In order to prevent his inner demons from becoming too ferocious, he gradually distanced himself from the crowd, became withdrawn, no longer interfered in matters of power, and even felt tired of communicating with others.

He just wrote poems, painted, played chess occasionally, did some business to make some money, and barely maintained the minimum standard of living in the world to prolong my life.

In his entire life, he had only met one person who treated him sincerely, which made him mistakenly believe that if it was this person, he would definitely not betray his existence.

But in the end, that person still abandoned him for the so-called conscience.

After leaving that person, the original owner’s days became longer and longer. His inner demons gradually evolved to the point where they affected his mind, making him increasingly unable to control his behavior.

One day, he was leaning on a bench in the park like a zombie, numbly wondering if there was any meaning in continuing to live. A smiling man came over and gave the young beggar, who was living on the street, a freshly made pancake and a business card.

“You have great potential and are very suitable to be a star! After becoming a star, you will see a prosperous world that is completely different from the current one!”

“Those who once forgot you will remember you again! Those who betrayed you will also regret your rise, because you are the most dazzling existence in this world!”

The other party said a lot, but the original owner only heard these two sentences.

Maybe his current life was too boring; maybe that familiar pancake reminded him of a soft memory; or maybe he just wanted that person to appear in front of him.

He signed the contract in a daze and became a star inexplicably.

Because of his extraordinary temperament and stunning looks, the company gave him the best and most high-quality resources. In addition, he was knowledgeable and capable of handling things. With the blessing of many factors, he became an instant hit as soon as he debuted, and the comfortable days of living in leisure and tranquility for thousands of years completely vanished.

He began to run announcements day and night, deal with all kinds of people, participate in some inexplicable programs, and interact with a group of colleagues with different thoughts.

He worked very hard, so hard that the audience could see his name and his image as long as they turned on the TV or their mobile phone.

But no matter how hard he worked, how popular he was, or how many times he appeared on TV, the person he wanted to see never showed up.

Moreover, because he was too involved in the world and had too many interactions with people, the intrigues and attacks from haters around him made his inner demons grow extremely serious, and he began to become abnormal.

He always turned uncontrollably evil when provoked, and turned against others when encountering unspoken rules, doing all kinds of things. He quarreled with other stars in public, spoke nonsense in interviews, humiliated his fans, and criticized people around him in all kinds of ways.

As long as he saw anything that made him dissatisfied, he would be immediately ignited and detonated, like a time bomb that would explode at any time.

In this era when celebrities needed to do their utmost to protect their image and were deeply afraid that a small mistake would lead to the loss of their endorsements, the original owner who rose at the speed of a rocket quickly fell at the speed of a meteor.

He became the object of everyone’s hatred. Everyone said that he became arrogant after he became famous and his true colors were exposed.

The number of TV series and programs that invited him suddenly became very small, and the cooperation that had been signed was unilaterally canceled because his image was damaged.

Because the responsibility lay with the original owner, the original owner needed to take responsibility and pay for the breach of contract, which was just a small matter.

The problem was that the contract on the original owner was under the scrutiny of Heaven. It was not just a piece of paper with legal effect, but also involved a vow at the level of cause and effect.

When a contract was destroyed, the original owner would be punished by heaven and would suffer the calamity of being struck by five thunders. The inner demons would also take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers.

Under such circumstances, the company still did not give up on him. They arranged all kinds of work for him regardless of the cost, and then watched him break contracts in a very bad condition.

At this time, the original owner finally realized that he was being targeted. It turned out that everything was a trap set against him from the beginning. The pancake that brought back his memories, the words that hit his soft spot, and the dark side that he kept sensing were all designed for him.

But it was too late to regret.

The desire to see that person kept the original owner going to work. Even when his inner demons were aroused, he endured it and tried not to break the promise as much as possible. He was completely forced into a desperate situation.

During that time, every time the audience turned on the TV, they would see that idiotic star who had no good qualities at all, singing, dancing, filming, and participating in variety shows. No matter which channel they turned on, they would see this overworked guy appearing, which was simply disgusting enough.

When opening the Internet, you would see insults and slanders against the original owner everywhere, criticizing him from beginning to end, as if everyone in the world wished the original owner would die as soon as possible.

At work, he always heard all kinds of comments directed at him. They said the original owner was useless, and there was no anger in his eyes. How could such a person enjoy such good resources? It would be great if he could just disappear.

The original owner had had enough of this boring life and hated the dirty and ugly side of human beings. These rumors were like small thorns that could not kill people, but would make people more and more gloomy.

The original owner often thought while working that he might as well give up. He would never see that person again anyway, and the worst that could happen was that he would be struck to death by lightning. He had already lived enough.

He had little will to survive and it seemed that he only needed that last bit of strength to push him into the endless abyss.

Perhaps he was able to see what the original owner was thinking, and when the time was right, the mastermind behind the scenes, the Son of the World, finally showed up.

As soon as the other party showed up, he killed many subordinates who were loyal to the original owner, cutting off the last force that could save the original owner.

He also captured his few fans who truly cared about him, and used the fans’ lives as a threat, demanding that the original owner hand over all the treasures and then commit suicide, otherwise he would kill whoever the original owner cared about.

The original owner was already devastated and numb. Seeing that the opportunity he had been waiting for for many years had finally arrived, he seemed to have no reason to continue living. So in front of his fans, he cut all the tendons in his body without hesitation, and fell down like a broken doll.

Although he was in great pain, he was finally relieved.

Fans cried heart-wrenchingly because of his death, but the next second they were killed by the laughing evil cultivator, and their screams reached the ears of the original owner.

The corners of the original owner’s mouth, which had been raised with great difficulty before his death, fell because of this scream. It seemed that his last thought for this world was just to rescue the people before dying.

……

Si Qi slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly.

He knew that the Son of the World was hateful, but every time he saw him, he couldn’t help but feel angry.

Turning off the news in front of him that was still gossiping about the original owner and the sponsor having a secret meeting overnight, Si Qi used his spiritual power to draw a meditation talisman in the air. After drawing it, he threw it into his body and temporarily suppressed his inner demon.

Then he lowered his head to look at the invitation letter in front of him. It was left by his subordinate – the financial sponsor in the eyes of netizens – before his boss left with his head down and in despair last night after he had been trying hard for several hours to persuade him to see a psychiatrist to no avail.

Chinese Entrepreneurs Exchange Conference, address: Capital Auditorium.

Looking at the invitation in front of him, Si Qi tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

After a moment, he got up and left the mansion which showed no trace of life at all, and drove to the well-known auditorium.

Inside, there were many industry leaders who had only appeared in such a dense crowd on the Forbes rankings in the past.

Amid the surprised and enthusiastic greetings from the bigwigs, Si Qi, who had not appeared in the industry for a long time, sat calmly in the front row.

A young entrepreneur who had not been in the industry for long and has risen rapidly due to the rapid development of the Internet industry looked at the familiar face in amazement and couldn’t help but ask the chairman of a company next to him: “Why is he here?!”

Wasn’t that the popular traffic star recently?

The chairman he was questioning was in his fifties. He smiled and said, “You are lucky today. You actually met this great man.”

The young man was dumbfounded and said, “Great man?”

Chairman: “Do you know who is the largest shareholder of Hengyu Group, Pangu Group, MDST, and GY Group?”

The young man thought for a moment, then his pupils suddenly shrank and he blurted out a name: “——Si Qi?!!!”

It was exactly the same name as that popular young actor!

The young man reacted quickly, and said in astonishment, “No way?! How old is he?!”

He looked like he was only in hid early twenties!!

The chairman laughed and said, “There are such monsters in the world. You will know after you meet him. There is nothing in this world that he doesn’t understand.”

The young man was dumbfounded and said: “But he is a star now…”

The chairman said nonchalantly, “It’s just a hobby, I don’t understand.”

People who could appear here basically didn’t care about the minor disputes in the entertainment industry.

After all, any one of their projects could easily cost them tens of billions of dollars, enough for them to buy several entertainment companies.

In their eyes, the chairman of an entertainment company was a businessman.

Those who were invited to attend the conference were entrepreneurs, who were the strongest backbone supporting the country’s development.

There was a huge difference here.

The young man was shocked by this absurd reality. He was extremely excited about being invited to participate in such a national event, but suddenly he became confused and numb.

Compared to the 20-year-old evil young man who started from scratch and took charge of several Fortune 100 multinational corporations and nearly 100 domestic first-class companies in just ten years, he seemed to be nothing special.

With a long sigh, the young man took out his phone and took a photo of Si Qi’s back. After uploading it to his blog, he sighed: “Compared to this god, I am just a mortal.”

No one would have thought that this sentence would soon become popular all over the Internet for another reason.

Everyone said he was a great prophet, so prescient.

However, now, people just gather around to join in the lively discussions because of the blogs posted by Internet bigwigs.

They smiled and said that Qi Shen was so humble today, it was really like the sun rising in the west.

Looking at the photo again, among the gray-haired middle-aged and elderly people, there was a young man sitting upright in a suit and tie. The young man’s back was particularly eye-catching, and he looked elegant and graceful. Many people asked curiously, “Who is this person? Where is this place?”

“Oh, I saw the CEO of a certain company. He was sitting next to this young man, talking to him with his head tilted. But his expression didn’t look like he was talking to a younger person. He was smiling and seemed to be a little respectful. I wonder if I saw it wrong…”

“He should be the son of some noble family, right?”

“Everyone!! I found the place! Look at the background wall in this photo, and the style of the tables and chairs. This is the xx Grand Hall!!”

“Oh, I remember now. Isn’t today our country’s Entrepreneurs Exchange Conference? This is a super awesome conference led by the country that determines the business direction of our country in the next few years!”

“Qi Shen can actually attend this kind of meeting! He’s getting more and more powerful!!”

“But who is that young man that he feels inferior to? Why was he able to attend such a meeting and sit in such a front row seat?”

“…There is something I really can’t help but say. First of all, I am not a fan of a certain Qi, but this back view is exactly the same as that guy! Attached is [comparison.jpg]”

“Fuck, they really look alike!”

“You’ve really had enough. That guy was just exposed yesterday for having a secret meeting with the local richest man at home. The evidence is solid and there’s no way to wash it off. Does that mean the richest man is qualified to bring people into such a place? Don’t insult such a sacred place as the Great Hall, okay?”

“I’ve never seen anyone in my life who gets annoyed just by seeing someone’s name.”

The young man known as Qi Shen looked at the comments of his fans with extremely complicated emotions, even a bit of schadenfreude, and wrote slowly: “The truth is always unexpected. I guarantee that you will be shocked and dumbfounded by what you said…”

These meaningful points made fans itchy and they wanted to rush to the screen to see what the handsome boy with the killer back looked like and why Qi Shen described him in such a mysterious way.

Unfortunately, there were no media present in the auditorium, and it was not a place that these curious netizens could enter.

Gossip reporters were too savvy to take photos or say anything nonsense in front of the entrance of such a place. Only a few reporters from the financial sector squatted in front of the auditorium, ready to take a few photos when everyone left.
