Xun Yiqing was not included in the top five candidates to participate in the seventh episode of the program.
This surprised Gu Zhisang.
Xun Yiqing has been very popular on the Internet since the live broadcast, mainly because of his status as a direct disciple of the Yiyuan Sect.
Yiyuan Sect was a Taoist Temple that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Xia Country. It has a very solid foundation and has been officially certified. It was also one of the three major Taoist Sect factions. In the past, it was very low-key and reclusive.
This year, after Xun Yiqing joined “Spiritual Affairs” as a contestant, the Taoist Temple appeared in the eyes of the public.
Its long heritage history and national certification were in itself a powerful blessing.
In addition, netizens discovered after further digging that Xun Yiqing was a disciple of the Temple Master and had presided over the bell-ringing ceremony in the temple three years ago, which further proved his ability.
Once he entered the eyes of the world, many colleagues in the field of metaphysics and bloggers in the online paranormal area retweeted and praised him, predicting that he would be the champion of this season.
But since the show started airing, almost no one thinks that Gu Zhisang, the scandalous actress who was least favored at the beginning and ridiculed by the entire network, will be the ‘strongest’ this season.
At the beginning, the black fans on the Internet provoked and rhythmically posted:
‘Gu Zhisang has a problem with other players’
It has become something recognized by many netizens.
Although the opinions of passers-by on the Internet were overwhelmingly in favor of Gu Zhisang, in addition to being the strongest champion, Xun Yiqing himself was still the most powerful competitor for the third and second place.
Gu Zhisang never imagined that he would be the one eliminated in the last period.
She clicked on the official accounts of Xun Yiqing and “Spiritual Affairs” to take a look.
Since in the sixth episode of the program, the police department and the contestants cooperated to crack down on a major case of a trafficking gang in Southern Province, the subsequent shots were not taken by the program’s device, but by Host Liu’s pocket backup camera hidden on his body. Many scenes needed to be re-edited, which took a long time.
The official version of the program was uploaded online just yesterday.
After the details of the crackdown on the major case in Southern Province were broadcast, related matters became hot searches again.
At the same time, the top five candidates announced in the program were:
Gu Zhisang, Daisy, He Mitu, Bai Ci, Xi Haihong.
There was no Xun Yiqing.
Netizens were furious again. Many viewers who supported Xun Yiqing questioned the opacity and unfairness of the voting and the elimination of the program team.
They believed that Xun Yiqing was eliminated because of a shady secret.
[I laughed when I saw the list of the top 5. Master Xun is an orthodox Taoist disciple. Many well-known metaphysicians in the circle say that he is a very good metaphysician among the younger generation. He was eliminated before even reaching the top five?]
[As for Bai Ci and Daisy, one can only be a doctor, while the other one can only read minds. Please, this is a metaphysics show. I want to watch a metaphysics show, not a doctor documentary…]
[Two foreigners haven’t been eliminated! They must have a golden master!]
[What’s wrong with foreigners? Isn’t this a competition show? Whoever has the strength will stay, so what if his identity is a big shot? I haven’t seen how powerful he is.]
“Spiritual Affairs” audiences were now too big. Seeing that netizens were about to start arguing again, Xun Yiqing and the official posted at the same time half an hour later.
Lingshi V: [Due to the busy schedule of the contestant @XuYunqing: I didn’t have time to participate in the filming of the next program, so I voluntarily quit the program. There is a vacant spot, so I was not eliminated.]
No one expected that Xun Yiqing would take the initiative to withdraw.
While some netizens were still engaging in conspiracy theories, Xun Yiqing’s posts were also trending.
He surprised everyone by writing a long essay.
First, he stated that he had indeed quit on his own, and then he sincerely stated that he did have many shortcomings in the metaphysics aspects, affirming the abilities of other players.
In the end, he said that if he was not too busy to participate, he would continue. Even if he was eliminated in the end, it would be better than quitting halfway. His words were full of regret.
Compared with the arrogance and self-confidence he had when he first appeared on the show, Xun Yiqing has undoubtedly changed a lot now.
After this blog post was published, speculation and controversy among netizens gradually subsided.
Many people said goodbye and expressed their reluctance on his account.
After reading the post, Gu Zhisang felt that Xun Yiqing’s expression was strange, and his words seemed to vaguely indicate that quitting midway was not his original intention.
Out of curiosity, she called Gi Liaochan.
After answering, Gi Liaochan on the other end said: “Sangsang, you feel it too, right? I heard that the reason why he quit was probably because the old antique from the Taoist Sect put pressure on the Yiyuan Sect. Xun Yunqing is the direct descendant of the Yiyuan Sect, but he lost to a group of foreign mystic masters. He lost the face of Taoist Sects, so he had to withdraw.”
“I almost laughed to death after hearing this. Aren’t those old guys just admitting in disguise that you are stronger, Sangsang, and think that the new generation of Taoist Masters will not be able to compare with you?”
“Oh, by the way, when you were filming a program in Nan Province last time, the daughter of the head of the Xi family sent a report letter to the headquarters. It seems that those pedantic old guys in Taoist Sects knew about it. I wonder what happened? I won’t take my anger out on her. I told people in our group today that she said she won’t withdraw from the competition next week…”
Gu Zhisang: “……”
After hearing the news, Gu Zhisang was speechless.
She never imagined that the Taoist Sects would become like this after hundreds of years.
It was just a matter of lax supervision and abuse of power, and even the basic character and pride were lost.
A few old men who value the Taoist Sect’s face status and dignity more than their lives don’t live as transparently as the younger generation.
Gi Liaochan added: “By the way, Yao Mingfang, do you remember her? She’s one of the four people who paid to participate in the ‘Sacrifice to the River Goddess’ at the Goddess Lake. The case she was involved in has been re-reported.”
“The cases behind the other three people have also been found out. Two of them are suspected of murder. One of them once mentally suppressed his girlfriend and cheated on her, causing the other to commit suicide by throwing herself into a lake.”
The earliest of these cases was nearly three decades ago.
This city was only a county-level city in Hunan Province until now, let alone twenty or thirty years ago.
At that time, the environment was chaotic, and the population flow was complicated. Many people in the city went to work outside. Even if a few people were missing, it would be difficult to find anything.
“It is very difficult to find evidence and re-convict them in these old cases, but we will try our best,” Gi Liaochan said.
“It’s just a pity for that girl who drowned to save Yao Mingfang. We will restore and announce the truth of the relevant events. At least we will not let the heroes be buried and be unknown.”

That night, the Hunan Provincial Police Department issued several case notices one after another, taking “The Sinking Corpse Case in Goddess Lake” as the main case, and announced the investigation details of other large and small cases, which caused an uproar and discussion among netizens.
[The uncle and aunt interviewed in the video cried so pitifully, their hair was all white. Their daughter acted bravely to save people, but she never got the praise she deserved. What a pity for such a good girl.]
[I’m so angry! Liu Mouxin’s cowardly husband and two other beasts! They raped, killed, dumped her body, and confuses right and wrong. This kind of beast simply deserves death!]
[After the death, Liu Mouxin’s body was stolen and sank at the bottom of the lake for no reason. Then Wen Family’s son also drowned and the body disappeared. It only surfaced after the case was solved… This is full of fantasy and supernatural, right? If this was not the content of the report from the Hunan Province Police, I would have thought I was reading a supernatural story.]
After the discussion, one of Gu Zhisang’s fans’ super chats included someone from Hunan Province, who said in the super chat:
‘Family, Sangsang seems to have been in Hunan Province some time ago. Someone in my circle of friends said they saw her. The silhouette in the secretly taken photos looks like her!’
‘I heard that too! My sister said that she had met Sangsang in their school. When I saw the case online, I thought, could this incident be related to Sangsang?’
Many fans were very excited after seeing it and asked questions one after another.
Many sensible big fans advise others not to make such comments that can easily be hacked without concrete evidence.
