"Xi Shi, why are you saying sorry? You are only 18 years old! No one can ask you how to do or what to do! People should live simply, have fun, live in the moment, live wonderfully, why should you?

Put unnecessary burdens and pressure on yourself!" Li Ling saw her lowering her head and sobbing softly, so he knelt down and looked at her, and handed her a tissue.

"Don't think about who you owe and how you want to repay it! We can meet in the corner of the world. This is fate. We are all destined to get together and have a good time. Why do you think so much! We are only 18 years old.

Life has just begun, let’s look forward!”

"Brother Li, thank you." Xi Shi took the tissue, "But I don't feel like you are 18 years old, like, 8 years old, or even 8 years old."

"Really, maybe I'm very old mentally." Li Ling smiled, "Xi Shi, I want to ask you a question now."

"Oh? Just ask. As long as it's convenient for me to answer, I will tell you." Xi Shi cheered up again.

Li Ling thought for a while and said: "I want to ask you, what is your next life plan? Continue to be an artist, sing? Make movies? Or quit this circle and go to school? You are so smart, you will definitely be able to read it.

of."

Xi Shi shook his head for a long time and said: "I have chosen this path since I was a child. I have been taught how to sing, how to act, and how to keep in shape. I think I will never be able to leave this industry again in my life. I will only do these things."

…

"Unless one day I am tired and want to rest; or I meet someone I like and fall in love, but I don't know if I can have a platonic love in my life..."

Li Ling gave a faint smile. This girl's pain is really similar to Brother Ying's. However, if her parents find her in the future, that won't be a problem. Unfortunately, Brother Ying, Brother Ying... Oh!

Immediately he cleared his throat and said: "Then I wish you the best. However, if an artist is not popular, then it will be difficult for him, right?"

"Yes, it's really difficult for artists if they don't have any achievements. What you see on the surface is their glory, but behind the scenes, it's really hard for you to imagine. Even if you have no money and are hungry,

I have to borrow money to buy cosmetics and clothes, because the most important thing for an artist is his image.

"Let's just talk about me. I didn't become popular in Korea or RB because no one praised me, and the reason why no one praised me was because when many opportunities came, I chose to stick to the bottom line.

.”

Xi Shi was chatting in style. At this moment, Li Ling completely missed the greenness on her face. Instead, she had the sophistication, courage and confidence of someone in the industry.

"In RB, whether you can be popular or not really depends on your ability and whether there are people to support you. This actually has little to do with your identity, background, and wealth. The halo created by spending money will not last long.

"Fortunately, I have my grandfather to rely on. Of course, I have never and will never use my grandfather's identity and family's power to get involved in the entertainment industry. No one in the industry knows my identity.

"Now that I have come to the United States, I just want to let go of everything in the past and start from scratch. There is a bigger stage here, and there must be people who can discover and appreciate my talents, my voice, my acting skills, and my

My language talent, I believe, I can come out and I can become popular.

"Broadway in New York and Hollywood in Los Angeles are all my dreams. I'm still waiting for Nana. She said she would find someone to introduce me to an agent on Broadway. So, I actually came to the United States to dig for gold.

An American dream, oh, or watching the sunshine in California for the sake of being wild and wanton.”

"Okay." Li Ling sighed softly. Is this a girl who is only 18 years old? She may be pure or sophisticated, sweet or ferocious, cute or crazy. As expected, people in the elite industry have superb acting skills!

At that moment, Li Ling said: "You can be popular, I promise. Alas! Who told you to call me 'Brother Li'?"

"Oh? Brother Li, what do you mean? Sometimes your words are really profound."

"Keep your nature, stick to your bottom line, use your own efforts and sweat to win your future, instead of going through evil ways or playing tricks, and never take the initiative to hurt people." Li Ling put away the cinnabar and yellow paper.

, spread his hands,

"Xi Shi, you will always be the beautiful fairy elf when I first saw you. Give me three months, and brother Li may be able to pave a path for you that leads to flowers, applause, and even

Where’s the red carpet for The Crown!”

Xiaonizi, Brother Li will help you change your destiny, or get you another magic weapon... I just hope that after you become famous, you can still remember my mother and me, and you will come back and burn some more for Brother Li.

Eat a bowl of egg fried rice...

"Brother Li, I don't know what you are talking about, what are your plans... In your eyes, for the first time, I can't see what a person is thinking, but I think you are really manly, let me

I feel so at ease in my heart!" Xi Shi's eyes flickered, and then she returned to her youthful and simple fairy appearance.

Li Ling shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Really? That's because I said, I like to go off the beaten track and not play by the rules." After that, he waved the cinnabar and yellow paper in his hand.

,

"It won't take long, I believe, you will bring the most shocking entertainment audio-visual feast to your fans and become a dazzling star. My mother and I will definitely be your loyal fans and support group, cheering you on!

"

"Brother Li, thank you!" Xi Shi stared at him closely, "But, I'm afraid, I will really fall in love with you..."

Li Ling was already immune to such words, and shook his head and said: "That's not okay, you and I are two different lines that do not intersect. You are an artist and a star, and I am a student and I still have to study.

"Besides, if I have a girlfriend in the future, I might marry her right away, because my mother is too lonely. Hehe, I want my mother to have a grandson as soon as possible, you know."

"I understand, so I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life." Xi Shi's expression darkened, "Maybe, even falling in love is a luxury."

Li Ling didn't want to go further with her on these topics, so he took the things in his hands and walked towards the room.

"Perhaps, it's not that important whether it's popular or not... What's important is, who would be willing to accompany me to see the sunshine in California and stay in a hotel in California?" Xi Shi murmured for a while.

*******************************

Yang Kun has been traveling between New York and San Francisco in the past two years, and he has to fly on the trapeze almost every two or three days. In San Francisco, it is to report on his duties, and in New York, it is to perform his duties.

In particular, there are his enemies in New York, the Douglas brothers and Mr. Chen.

More than seven years ago, after Xiaoxue died, his life turned a dark page, and he also started revenge mode.

Except for the master, the big dragon head, the eldest lady, and the unruly second lady, oh, and Xue'er, there is no one else in his world who can say a word to him.

Xueer is a Labrador retriever he raised.

He is still a Hongmen disciple, but he is not from the Inner Eight Halls. He is just a young man from the Outer Eight Halls. Basically, he does not need to go to the hall to report anything.

Although he is a Xiaoman, he is directly ordered by Da Longtou and his master, which is very special.

In a sense, if Hongmen is the Ming Dynasty, then he is the senior eagle dog of Jinyiwei. In Hongmen, very few people really know his identity.

Hongmen will hold the "Global Hongmen Disciples Appointment Conference" at the Hongmen branch in New York on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Hongmen has not held such a conference for many years.

For this marriage conference in New York, the leader arranged for him to be in New York three years in advance and gave him an extremely confidential task.

That is, harming people.

Moreover, he harmed people in places where Chinese people were concentrated, and where Chinese carpenters and alchemists were frequented.

Anyway, he was going to New York to find his enemy, and it wouldn't matter if he harmed a few more people, so he agreed without any objection.

But what he has never figured out is that since the marriage conference is going to be held and a harmonious scene should be created in New York, why do the big guys want to cause trouble here in New York and who will they harm?

It was the master who told him the reason. One of the purposes of holding this conference was to let masters of Luban Shu show up.

Moreover, Yang Kun learned for the first time from his master a shocking secret about the "Book of Lu Ban", that is, the solution to the mystery of the curse of the ancestor, the first volume of "The Book of Lu Ban", could indeed be found.

It's not just the second volume that only exists in legends and has disappeared for two thousand years - "The Return of All Dharmas to the Sect".

In other words, for thousands of years, the carpenters and Luban magicians who have learned the first volume of "The Book of Lu Ban" have suffered from five evils and three shortcomings, their families have suffered, and their descendants have been extinct. There is a way to break the counter-curse of the ancestors.

If a solution can be found, people who have learned Luban's art will no longer have a "missing one" in their numerology, suffer from the lack of family happiness, and suffer from the backlash of curses and calamities repeatedly.

The solution to the mystery of the Patriarch's curse, the first volume of the "Book of Lu Ban", is said to exist in the "Book of Lu Ban" that the Patriarch passed down to thirty-six disciples, a total of thirty-six books!

And this is the reason why Yang Kun has been active in New York's Chinatown for the past two years.

It is said that there are many strange people and alchemists in the world who are looking for the thirty-six "Book of Lu Ban", and the big boss of Hongmen is one of them, including Da Longtou and Shifu.

Yang Kun has become numb to this. Finding all thirty-six "Books of Lu Ban" in the world is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether he can break the counter-curse of the founder is meaningless to him.

Anyway, as long as he can avenge Xiaoxue, he will have no regrets even if he is cursed to death. So now, he is just mechanically carrying out the orders from above - moving around Chinatown to let more strange people from the world surface.

Take the opportunity to explore the whereabouts of "Lu Ban Shu".

And today, he came to Canal Street, Chinatown.

He wanted to see the disabled girl again.

This was the only time among the people he had framed with Lu Ban Shu in so many years that he felt a little guilty.

This unfortunate family, because of his own intervention, made things worse and faced an even greater disaster.

That disabled girl who was kind, sincere, and filial, and who had extended a helping hand to me, suffered the tragedy of having her feet and legs cut off because of her.

In the past few days, Yang Kun could not sleep and was restless. As soon as he closed his eyes, the disabled girl's every smile, every move, her kindness and sincerity made him fall into deep self-blame and regret.

But he couldn't take any saving measures for this, which was the source of his pain.

With a rare glimpse of conscience and light of humanity, Yang Kun finally went to Mary Xiao's house again. He decided to give Mary Xiao a jade pendant left by Xiaoxue as compensation.

This jade pendant has now become a magical weapon.

This is a magic weapon that he has cultivated for nearly six years before it can condense. The aura is still a little unstable, but it can be regarded as a magic weapon. Originally, it should have continued to be cultivated for another three to five years before it could take shape, but in order to compensate for himself

He took out his debt to Mary in advance.

The spiritual weapon he used to cultivate the magic weapon was a Luban ruler. He vaguely remembered that he got this Luban ruler as a tribute to his master, and the master agreed to teach him the Luban technique.

In order to learn Luban Shu, the master used the magic to erase most of the memories in his mind. The only things he can remember now are the things between him and Xiaoxue, and the memories after learning Luban Shu, and before learning Luban Shu.

I almost don't remember anything else.

Therefore, he had no idea how he got this Luban ruler.

But now, the already deaf-mute woman has her legs broken again. He has committed such a sin and using a magic weapon to compensate for it is the limit of what he can do.

But when he knocked on the door of Xiao's house, and when the door opened, Yang Kun was dumbfounded when he saw Queen Mary Xiao who was looking great, happy, and in good health.

"Brother Yang, it's you! Your face is much better! Your hands have also recovered!" Mary signed to him.

Yang Kun stared at her legs closely and said for a long time: "Are your legs okay?"
