He smiled and asked, "The first destination of the program is Shangling County in Qunqing Province. I wonder if Mr. Chi knows about this place?"

This was the first time Chi Qingzhou knew where the first episode of the program would go, and he was a little surprised.

"Is it basically Shangling County where the Puluo people live? As for this place..." He thought about it seriously and picked out the part that could be said, "the wedding and funeral customs are very special."

As soon as this very distinctive answer came out, many people felt inexplicably cold.

A vague mold suddenly grew on the floor of the studio.

In the shadows, something stopped, and something left in a hurry.

In Chi Qingzhou's shadow, Xing Shuangzhan opened his bloodshot eyes and looked outside with interest.

The camera captured a special texture on the screen, but the new photographer was unaware of it and pushed the lens closer to Chi Qingzhou.

Lu Man paused, and continued to ask professionally, "It seems that Mr. Chi knows Shangling County very well. I wonder if you can give us a detailed introduction?"

Chi Qingzhou would certainly not refuse.

The Puluo people were a minority ethnic group. Their weddings were as distinctive as those of other ethnic minorities. From costumes to etiquette procedures, they carried the solemnity and romance unique to southwestern ethnic groups.

However, compared to weddings, Chi Qingzhou thought the funerals were more interesting.

He smiled happily, his peach blossom eyes curved into a lively arc, and for a moment, even his body had a more lively aura.

"The Puluo people pay attention to tree burials. Generally speaking, if a tribe member dies, they will bury the body directly at the root of a big tree in the tribe, and only hang a wooden or metal nameplate on the branch for relatives to worship every year."

"But there are also some tribe members..." He tilted his head, thought of a suitable alternative word, and said in a very respectful tone, "whose status is relatively special."

"This group of tribespeople practices sky burials. Their bodies are placed in specially crafted coffins, which are then transported to the tribal land by designated individuals. A tall and flourishing tree is carefully chosen, and when the full moon reaches its highest point in the sky, the coffin is placed upright on the trunk."

The coffin was a shuttle-shaped coffin with pointed ends and a round middle. There was a small hole on the top and bottom, and the inside and outside were full of the unique talismans of the Puluo tribe.

Chi Qingzhou's eyes flashed, and his smile showed a bit of tenderness.

"The Puluo tribe believes that after a person dies, the soul can communicate with the world in this way and go to a new... place."

"They will regularly draw... patterns on the outside of the coffin until one day the pattern covers the entire outside of the coffin."

The Puluo tribe had the chance to become ghosts and deities.

After the death of a talented Puluo tribe member, the soul could practice in the coffin, and the talismans outside the coffin would gradually fade.

Redrawing the talisman could ensure that they could practice smoothly, until one day the talisman no longer faded, which meant that this person had practiced successfully.

Chi Qingzhou had a friend who was a member of the Puluo tribe.

He had a strange fate. He was plagued by illnesses and had no talent during his lifetime. He only became famous after his death.

Chi Qingzhou participated in his funeral and was deeply impressed.

Chi Qingzhou spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing a dream.

"The Puluo tribe is warm and hospitable. I believe... this will be a pleasant trip."

There were no more accidents in the "Scenery Along the Way" program team.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the trailer and the guest list were released on time.

Chi Xiaoyuan, known as 'Little Boss Chi,' sat in the CEO's office and directly opened Chi Qingzhou's part, his brows furrowing tightly.

The night before yesterday, he was called back by his father and severely reprimanded because he did not consider the overall situation.

His mother rarely spoke up for him. She only told him secretly afterward that the smooth filming of "Scenery Along the Way" was very important to their family, and asked him to be more obedient recently.

Because he had postponed the variety show against Chi Qingzhou a few days ago, his father had been angry several times and decided to ask about the filming in person.

Chi Xiaoyuan didn't know what Chi Qingzhou had done to make his father lean towards him, and he felt very alert.

As early as when this brother was found, he suspected that the other person would do anything for the family property, and now it was verified.

This poor guy even abandoned his adoptive parents who had raised him for twenty years, which shows that he was unscrupulous for the sake of profit.

He wanted to see what this brother could say in the interview.

After a short opening, the main film began.

As soon as Chi Qingzhou's face appeared, the barrage was filled with dense curses and insults, almost completely covering the screen.

[The program crew is really a bastard, letting an illegitimate child dance in front of a married child, isn't it cheap?]

[I'm sick of Chi Pengci's face!]

[Why is this bastard not even 200 yards? Where's the dump truck? Come and get close to him.]

The netizens were so happy to scold him, and the whole video was full of smoke and miasma.

Chi Xiaoyuan raised the corner of his lips with a hint of sarcasm.

So what if his father protected Chi Qingzhou?

Those who should dislike Chi Qingzhou still dislike him.

If you really want to get on the Song family in the capital, Chi Qingzhou was not the only choice.

He thought casually, and during the interview, the host began to ask Chi Qingzhou if he knew about Shangling County.

Chi Qingzhou's answer came from the tablet, and it seemed to be mixed with strange electric current sounds.

"This place... the wedding and funeral customs are very special."

The temperature in the office suddenly dropped, and a feeling of being stared at quietly spread.

Chi Xiaoyuan suddenly came back to his senses and looked out the window. The weather was fine and the sun was shining.

He frowned and looked back at the tablet.

The overwhelming insults and curses disappeared without a trace, and the barrage was empty, with only Chi Qingzhou's figure becoming clear.
