I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

On the other side, He Jiaoyang paused the old movie about a sermonist catching zombies that was playing and scratched his head.

Lu Ban really has a broad mind; he actually wants to film their line of work.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true that we haven't seen ghost-catching stories like this in a long time.

However, He Jiaoyang really didn't know anything about his fellow disciples. He had only heard his grandfather talk about it when he was a child, and later he learned the basics by studying online materials. He didn't learn anything from his family's teachings.

He decided to go back and ask his father.

Chapter 581 Signature

While waiting in the coffee shop, Lu Ban didn't sit idle. Instead, he took out his notebook and typed out his storyboard text.

According to his logic, the film should be divided into two parts: one is the narrative told by modern people, and the other is the setting of that era.

Modern narratives should supplement past scenes, adding to their sense of authenticity.

Lu Ban had watched some similar war and disaster documentaries, which involved interviewing survivors and those who experienced the events firsthand. By using their words to increase the sense of immersion, the full picture of the event was gradually drawn out.

In Lu Ban's view, the part where the Nine Streams choose to inherit the Xuanjun's mantle should be the climax of the entire drama. At the same time, it should also be a suspenseful moment. Therefore, the modern narration should guide the audience's thinking.

After ordering a drink, Lu Ban typed while working.

It took him about two hours to raise his head.

Suddenly I realized there were quite a few people around me.

Several girls sat near Lu Ban, whispering to each other while holding their phones.

Others were typing rapidly on their phones while taking photos.

"Forgot..."

Lu Ban then remembered.

As a celebrity, sitting in a coffee shop without any attempt to conceal myself, I was bound to be recognized. Then word would spread, and fans and reporters would flock to my location.

"It's all because of the mission in that other world," Lu Ban thought.

After all, decades ago, no one in Jiangcheng knew him, which led Lu Ban to develop bad habits.

"Um, Director Lu, could you please sign your autograph for me?"

A girl mustered her courage, picked up a notebook covered in colorful tape, and handed it to Lu Ban.

"no problem."

Lu Ban readily agreed, took the pen, and wrote his name in the blank space of the notebook.

This made the fans present eager to try it, and a long queue quickly formed.

More than an hour had passed since the signing took place when Lu Ban's phone vibrated.

He saw that the message was from Tang Yu.

Lu Ban originally wanted to reply at the hospital entrance, but considering the current situation, he felt he had to be more careful.

I don't care about myself, but if Tang Yu is photographed acting alone with Lu Ban, those entertainment reporters will probably gossip about it again.

Lu Ban thought for a moment and sent the restaurant's address to Tang Yu.

He then paid the bill and got up to leave the coffee shop.

Behind him, reporters followed closely, as if trying to find out what Lu Ban was up to.

But Lu Ban just kept walking by himself. After a few minutes, suddenly, at a corner, Lu Ban disappeared.

"???"

The entertainment reporters who had been keeping a close eye on Lu Ban exchanged bewildered glances, none of them having noticed when Lu Ban had disappeared.

Meanwhile, in an alley near the coffee shop, a drop of land debris gradually coalesced and transformed into a human form.

He took off his coat, put on a mask, bought a pair of sunglasses at the shopping mall next door, and quickly arrived at the restaurant.

Tang Yu only took off her white coat, revealing a casual shirt and jeans underneath. Perhaps due to exercise, she had a great figure, the kind that would cost ten yuan to describe.

She is 28 years old this year, which is quite young for a doctor. Thanks to her family's medical expertise, she is much more capable than the average person in medicine, and her studies and work are going very smoothly.

Because of her job and her usual way of dealing with people, she doesn't have a boyfriend—unfamiliar men are afraid of forensic doctors, while men she knows usually treat Tang Yu as a buddy.

After all, besides being a doctor, Tang Yu is also a first-rate fighter. Unlike those keyboard warriors who just spew insults online, Miss Tang Yu is a proper boxer, the kind who could kill three Qin Tiantians with one punch.

"I heard you started signing autographs at the coffee shop across from the hospital, and it was quite popular."

Tang Yu wasn't shy at all. You could tell from the fact that she gave a ride to a stranger like Lu Ban without hesitation that this doctor had a cheerful and straightforward personality.

Of course, it's also possible that Tang Yu felt that if a fight really broke out, Lu Ban wouldn't be a match for her.

"I didn't realize I'd been recognized."

Lu Ban and Tang Yu ordered some dishes. It was a local restaurant. Jiangcheng cuisine tends to be salty and savory, with a lot of duck. It is said that no duck can escape Jiangcheng. Lu Ban, who has lived here for so long, wholeheartedly agrees.

"Actually, I don't get invited out to dinner very often."

While waiting for the food to be served, Tang Yu said with some emotion.

"Why? I think having dinner with you would be quite enjoyable."

Lu Ban countered with a question.

"Because of my job, as a forensic doctor, people always think that my job involves dealing with dead people and that I have bad luck. I had a male friend in high school who was quite close to me, but when he heard that I was studying forensic medicine during my first summer of college, he didn't dare to see me anymore."

Tang Yu spoke quite casually, without a trace of gloom.

"I think forensic doctors are pretty amazing. You see, many people die, but people don't know how they died or what happened when they died. But forensic doctors can tell everyone the truth."

Lu Ban said.

"Moreover, when I was queuing in your department today, I saw that you don't only deal with dead people. Many people who are injured need your help to make judgments and obtain compensation, which can be considered as protecting those vulnerable groups."

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Tang Yu showed a rare serious expression.

"You're one of the rare people who understands our work."

She said, then suddenly laughed.

"By the way, you said you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it? It can't be that you want to make a forensic movie and need me for research, can it?"

"Not really."

Lu Ban's words were interrupted by the waiter serving the dishes. Two dishes were placed on the table, and the two decided to start eating.

Tang Yu, as expected of a descendant of Tang Que, ate with great gusto and boldness, displaying a hearty and straightforward Northeastern flavor. Lu Ban immediately felt that this kind of delicate Jiangnan cuisine was not quite suitable for her; perhaps spicy hot pot or Northeastern barbecue was the girl's true calling.

"I mainly wanted to ask about your family situation."

After taking two bites, Lu Ban spoke.

"My home?"

Tang Yu put down her chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then spoke as if teasing.

"Are all young people this direct these days?"

"direct?"

Lu Ban was taken aback, and then he explained.

"No, you misunderstand, Dr. Tang. I wanted to ask about the mortician."

"!"

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Tang Yu's expression immediately became much more serious.

Where did you hear that from?

She lost all interest in joking and asked in a low voice.

"It seems so."

Lu Ban finally confirmed that Tang Yu was indeed a descendant of the corpse-stitching craftsmen.

He had wondered before if Tang Yu, like He Jiaoyang, had only inherited the abilities but not the family history. Now it seemed that Tang Yu did know.

"It's like this, Dr. Tang, I want to make a movie about the Nine Schools of Thought and I'd like to ask you for some information about my ancestors."

Upon hearing Jiu Liu's name, Tang Yu's expression became even more serious.

Chapter 582 A woman three years older than her husband is a golden brick.

"I haven't heard this name in a long time."

Tang Yu looked at the food on the plate and said in a deep voice.

"Actually, I don't know either. My grandmother once told me that our family's ability to inherit things is not unique. Others have similar abilities, but I have never seen them growing up."

"What is your grandmother's name?"

Lu Ban did the math and concluded that Tang Yu's grandmother was probably not Tang Que, but at least a descendant of Tang Que. The answer was indeed so; it was a name Lu Ban had never heard of.

Do you have someone named Tang Que in your family?

"Tang Que... that's my great-grandmother's older sister. We usually call her Great-Grandmother. Our family has always maintained the tradition of marrying into the wife's family, so the Tang family name has been preserved. My grandmother is my mother's mother. Great-Grandmother originally had a fiancé, but he later joined the army and died in the war. She never got married. I only met her once when I was a child. She was very elegant and kind."

Tang Yu recalled.

"She lived to be over ninety years old before passing away peacefully."

Lu Ban sighed.

I wonder what Tang Yu's expression was when she found out that her great-grandmother could kill ten Qin Tiantians with one punch.

Lu Ban understood that doctors like Tang Que in that era must have gone to university, studied abroad, and come from prestigious families. It was normal for them to be well-mannered. Such people would grow up to be elegant old ladies rather than scoundrels.

Through the video footage, Lu Ban also learned about how the group had inherited the position of Xuanjun and stabilized the seal. Normally, a person could only maintain the seal for a maximum of ten years.

However, they shared the burden together, and Fang Geng's seal had been tightly sealed after that, making it difficult for the contamination to leak out.

That's why Tang Que was able to live for so long.

Unfortunately, time still takes too long.

Lu Ban ultimately failed to see Tang Que one last time.
