Half an hour ago.
When dealing with the Snake Immortal incident, Bai Ci withdrew on the spot.
When Gu Zhisang was walking from the gate of the villa, she saw Bai Ci’s face turned ugly and hurriedly walked away. Before he walked out of the door, his aura began to become unstable.
Gu Zhisang frowned slightly, thinking that this guy wouldn’t change back to his original shape, right?
As a result, a flash of light flashed out of the corner of her eye, and she subconsciously stepped forward to block the camera lens facing the gate of the villa, reached out her hand, and grabbed the little thing that had turned into a ball of furs with a ‘bang’.
Gu Zhisang: “… …”
It’s quite tricky.
She took advantage of the situation and stuffed the dazed hedgehog into her pocket, and just like that, she entered the villa slowly to participate in the competition.
During that time, she could feel her slightly bulging pocket trembling slightly, and the hedgehog that cultivated kept shaking and trembling, so timid that she was at a loss for words.
From the first time, she saw Bai Ci, Gu Zhisang knew that he was not human.
It was the Hedgehog Spirit that got mixed up in the crowd.
However, he was not a cultivating hedgehog spirit at all. He was one of the so-called ‘Five Great Immortals” who successfully cultivated in the eastern region.
It stands to reason that hedgehogs in the wild were one of the few small animals that were not afraid of poisonous snakes. Because when they encounter danger, they will shrink into a ball and turn into a hard ball of thorns, making it impossible for snakes to bite;
Sometimes they can kill snakes that were bigger than themselves.
But due to their nature, generally, hedgehogs like to be quiet, stay away from crowds and rarely appear near high-rise buildings in cities.
Even if one cultivates a spiritual path, and was successfully become one of the “Five Great Immortals”, the white fairy—that was, the Hedgehog Immortal, among the five great immortals, its ability was not that strong.
They were good at curing diseases and attracting wealth, but they rarely retaliate against humans and do not fight.
What’s more, Bai Ci was a timid hedgehog.
When pretending to be a human, he was afraid of society, and when he was a hedgehog, he was afraid of snakes, the kind that can be scared to death at a glance.
When he saw the Snake Immortal following Xiao Ma, he was frightened out of his wits.
If Gu Zhisang hadn’t helped him smooth things over in time, he might have turned into a hedgehog under the noses of millions of viewers, and people from the Demon Control Bureau would come to arrest him.
Bai Ci was afraid and felt ashamed wanting to die.
After the palm-sized hedgehog came out slowly, its pointed nose shrugged, and then stretched out a pair of pink fleshy claws together, bowed in Gu Zhisang’s direction, and said “thank you” in a low voice.
There was a slight difference in the voice of the Hedgehog Immortal and the human form in the prototype.
Gu Zhisang didn’t feel much, the system in her mind: “This hedgehog is too cute, isn’t it?!”
The only thing she was curious about was: “You, a hedgehog ‘Immortal’, don’t practice in the mountains, why do you want to participate in this kind of variety show?”
The Hedgehog Immortal’s black bean eyes blinked: “Don’t you know, fellow Taoist, this program can increase the number of believers, which is of great benefit to practitioners. The reason why there are so many Taoists in this season is that the major families have also discovered this matter.”
Although the programs in the first two seasons did not have many real masters, some contestants still gained a lot of fans because of the well-written program editing and event scripts.
The traffic stars in the entertainment industry rely on their fans to make money and attract traffic, then people in the Taoist sect will gain ‘mental power’ after they have followers.
It has the same effect as “Incense”, but the effect was not so exaggerated, and it was also very beneficial to cultivation.
Bai Ci just wanted to have some ‘mental power’, while the juniors from big families like Xun Yiqing and Xi Haihong came for the win.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhisang popped up halfway.
The Hedgehog Immortal bowed and cupped his paws to Gu Zhisang again, then moved his limbs quickly, and ran out from the half-closed lounge door.
About five minutes later, the staff in charge of Bai Ci saw him appear from the other side of the path and rushed to meet him, “Brother Bai Ci, are you alright?”
“No……”
“That’s good, let me know where you are going in the future, otherwise we won’t be able to contact you. By the way, according to the original script, you should go to the second round to help the seekers, but now other players will go first for you. You wait for the next one.”
Bai Ci was still immersed in shame and indignation. His ears were red as he said in a muffled voice: “Okay.”

The live broadcast was filmed and when Xu Fu said that they were a couple, the audience in the live broadcast room began to joke.
Host Liu forced a smile and said:
“I’m sorry for contestant No. 9. Our help-seeker in this game is a pair of siblings, not a couple.”
Xu Fu’s smile froze, and he was politely asked to leave the venue.
Host Liu: “The next contestant is our No. 2 contestant: Bai Ci.”
Since this episode of the group competition was a special event for supernaturals, the program team selected the most authentic and interesting ones from hundreds of submissions. Their locations were all over the world, and the program team couldn’t go where they can only invite people to the filming location of the show.
So this was not the home of Xiao Xi and Xiao Cheng.
Many black fans and viewers who don’t like Bai Ci began to sing bad words.
[To be honest, I really can’t like this Bai Ci, he’s just a little boy. I haven’t seen how powerful he is, but he has so many shots each time.]
[This contestant has no special abilities other than being able to summon hedgehogs. This time, the caller is not a local, and the local hedgehogs don’t even know each other when they come, haha.]
However, as soon as Bai Ci stood still, he pursed his lips and looked in Xiao Cheng’s direction, and said: “You are sick.”
“Now you still have the root of the disease on your body, but before that, you were very sick, with high fever, severe inflammation… it was so serious that you fell into a coma, and your body began to dehydrate. I felt some residual healing spells on you, it should be, you who found someone to treat you.”
The siblings showed shock on their faces, nodded, and said: “That’s true!”
The young man in front of him described his younger brother Xiao Cheng’s recent illness perfectly.
Xiao Xi said: “My younger brother fell into the water about two weeks ago. After being rescued, as the master said, he felt cold all over. After returning home, I quickly let him take a hot bath and made ginger soup for him, but he still had a high fever that night.”
“At that time, Xiao Cheng’s consciousness was not very clear. He didn’t respond at all when I called him. He just lay on the bed and kept coughing. His body was scorched by fire. He kept sweating. Hair and sheets are soaked!”
She was so scared at that time, she was afraid that her younger brother would catch pneumonia and suffer.
But it was quite late at that time. The siblings were in the mountains of their hometown, and there were only a few buses with fixed time slots running on the winding mountain road. Even if they wanted to take the person to the county hospital for treatment, it would take an hour or two.
Xiao Xi said: “Then the aunt next door to us said that there is a very spiritual shaman in the village. People in the village usually have headaches and brain fever. If someone has a minor illness or disaster, they will go to her, and they will be cured. She told us to go there and let her see Xiao Cheng. I invited the shaman to my home.”
“As soon as she saw my brother, she said that he had hit the devil and was entangled by something…”
Bai Ci nodded and said: “Indeed, he has the smell of ghosts on his body, and this disease is not acquired for no reason.”
Xiao Xi continued: “Then the shaman burned some talisman papers, sprinkled the paper ashes on Xiao Cheng’s body, saying it was to drive away evil spirits, and then burned a bowl of medicinal soup and poured it down on Xiao Cheng.”
“Master, you said that my brother has fallen to the root of his illness?!”
The siblings have always suspected this.
