When Tang Li and the others walked over, there was already a large group of people surrounding the artificial lake. Everyone had fear on their faces as they pointed at the lake.
The lake here was not deep. In the water beside a willow tree, there was a person whose head was in the water and his legs were exposed. Not only was there a layer of black smoke around him, but the water nearby had also turned black. The green tree hanging on the shore seemed to be controlled by something at this moment, constantly slapping the man’s legs with its willow branches.
“Oh my god!”
Tang Zitong was so scared that her face turned pale and she shouted.
Tang Li turned around and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be afraid.”
At this moment, a voice was heard. “Everyone, move aside. The police are here.”
Soon, many police officers and people from the criminal investigation team strode over.
After they arrived, they immediately set up a cordon. Then, someone wanted to go down and drag the corpse up.
However, as soon as the people got close to the black area, they were pulled down by something.
The two people in the water could not scream and could only struggle in fear.
When the people on the shore saw this situation, a few more people quickly jumped down to save them.
The same thing happened to everyone who approached the black area.
The onlookers gasped in fear.
“Is there a monster down there in the water?”
“Definitely. That area of water looks abnormal. And that willow tree.”
“The way that person died was very abnormal. And the black smoke on his body is weird too.”
“What should we do? Will the monster come up?”
These words made many timid people retreat in fear. Soon, many people ran away.
Mo Chen’s manager’s voice trembled. “Mr. Mo, let’s go. It’s too scary there.”
The corners of Mo Chen’s lips curled up slightly. “Don’t worry. We have a monster-slayer right next to us.”
The manager looked at Tang Li and Tang Zitong in confusion and said with an awkward smile, “Mr. Mo, you gotta be kidding me. These two?”
Mo Chen ignored him and pointed at the middle-aged men standing on the other side. “Do you see those people over there? The one in the vest is our director.”
Tang Li and Tang Zitong looked over. The person Mo Chen was talking about was wearing an iron-gray suit and a vest. His hair was long and windblown.
Tang Li withdrew her gaze and walked towards the shore.
When she reached the cordon, she was stopped.
“Stop, you can’t come in here.”
Tang Li said, “I wanna talk to your leader and tell him about what happened to that corpse.”
Hearing that, one of them quickly went to fetch the leader.
Tang Li said, “I am Tang Li, Qi Yihan’s wife.”
Hearing that, the leader was surprised. “So you’re Miss Tang. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
When the leader said this, the others also walked over.
The leader introduced Tang Li to them. He did not expect all of them to know her.
Another person asked, “Miss Tang, can you handle that corpse?”
“Yes.” Tang Li nodded. Then, she took out a few talismans from her pocket and said, “Send these talismans to the people in the water immediately. When you get close to the corpse, stick one on the corpse.”
One of them quickly took it.
Tang Li prepared to leave.
The leader stopped her. “Miss Tang, this is obviously not an ordinary murder. Can you help us?”
Tang Li looked at the corpse and reminded them, “Someone used witchcraft. You just need to find the person who used witchcraft.”
Everyone immediately understood.
After Tang Li finished speaking, they let her go.
Only then did Tang Li follow Mo Chen to see the director.
When Director Ning saw Mo Chen walking over with two unfamiliar beauties, he was a little surprised. The other directors were also very surprised.
However, they were so frightened by the dead man in the lake that they couldn’t think straight. Director Ning asked, “Mo Chen, who are these two?”
“My friend,” Mo Chen said. “Director Ning, let’s go back. I have something to tell you.”
Director Ning glanced at the lake and found that the people who were stranded in the water just now were saved.
Then, he patted the shoulder of the person beside him and said, “Let’s invite a Taoist master tomorrow. There are some things that the police don’t believe in, but we do.”
The middle-aged man nodded at him with a pale face and did not speak.
Only then did they walk towards the shooting side of “Divine Phoenix”.
After walking for a while, Director Ning asked Mo Chen, “Mo Chen, what do you want to tell me?”
After saying that, he sized up Tang Li and Tang Zitong.
He subconsciously felt that Mo Chen wanted to add these two people to the film crew. Although he didn’t like it when people used their connections to get a role, one of the women’s temperament and looks were outstanding. He felt that he could make an exception and let her play the role of the queen.
“My friend is in the Imperial instrument business. She wants to cooperate with you to add the song played by Imperial instruments into this drama.”
Director Ning paused for a moment before his expression turned serious. Without thinking, he rejected, “No, Imperial instruments are not widely accepted now. Our drama is popular now, so I don’t want to take the risk.”
“Director Ning, why do you think that it will be risky to add the music played by our instruments?” Tang Zitong didn’t like to hear that and retorted, “The music played by our instruments is very charming. It’s not inferior to those electronic instruments.”
Director Ning frowned and impolitely asked, “If it’s not inferior to electronic instruments, why are there not many people learning imperial instruments now?”
“Er…”
“Director Ning, you should have heard of the saying, ‘what goes around comes around’.” Tang Li suddenly added. Director Ning looked at her again, amazed by how elegant this woman was and how much she resembled the Queen in the drama.
He suddenly wanted to get this woman to join the film crew.
“What is this lady trying to say?”
“When the imperial instruments were in their heyday, the entire world was learning them. Now, people change because of the Western culture. We need to spread awareness and make them realize again how beautiful our instruments are.”
“Oh, Miss, are you so sure they can accept it again?”
“Of course.”
They quickly arrived at the shooting site of “Divine Phoenix”. At that moment, the entire crew was gathered at one place. When Yang Xuelan, who had just returned from resting in the van, saw Tang Li, her eyes instantly widened. Then, she shouted excitedly, “Miss Tang.”
