"Half a Daoist?" Ah Gui was a little confused. So what if he was a Taoist priest? Why was he still half a Taoist priest?
Seeing Ah Gui's confused expression, Lin Yi smiled and explained," It's just that I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet. Right now, I'm still an apprentice."”
"Oh, a Daoist apprentice." Ah Gui said in realization.
"It's getting late, so we'll make a move first. If your troupe starts filming tomorrow, we'll go back and watch.”
"Bye-bye."
After saying goodbye, Lin Yi lifted the stirrups, and Little Black immediately accelerated and ran. In the blink of an eye, it became a black dot.
……
Niu Town was not a prosperous town. It was much smaller than Ren Town. They found an inn in the town and instructed the waiter to feed the horses properly. Then, they booked a guest room.
When they checked in, Qingqing was quite shy. The waiter who led the way didn't dare to look at her too much, so he couldn't tell that Qingqing was a woman and always found it strange.
What was wrong with two men sharing a room? What was there to fix?
He got the waiter to fetch hot water and left Qingqing to take a bath in the room. Lin Yi ordered a table of food and wine downstairs. When Qingqing came down after taking a shower, the food and wine were all served. The two of them chatted and ate dinner.
That night, Qingqing slept very soundly. After a day of traveling, even though she was riding a horse, it was still very tiring. She fell asleep as soon as she laid on the bed.
Lin Yi didn't meditate and cultivate. After washing up, he leaned against Qingqing and slept for the night.
It was better not to cultivate when he was out and not sure if anyone was disturbing him. If he was touched and disturbed at a critical moment in his cultivation, it was very easy for something to go wrong.
He slept until 9 am the next day. The town was already bustling with activity. Outside the window, there were hawkers selling goods along the streets. People came and went, and occasionally, he could hear passersby talking about the troupe.
At noon today, the opera troupe was going to Cairo. This was considered a lively event for Niu Town.
The last time a troupe came to perform was a year ago.
The world was not peaceful, and the troupe rarely went out to perform. They would find a town to settle down and perform for a few months. When business was really bad, they would go to the next place.
"Big Brother Lin, the troupe is only going to Cairo in the afternoon, right? What are we going to do later?”After breakfast, Qingqing asked Lin Yi expectantly.
"Go out for a walk and see if there are any nice clothes for you to pick out. It's better for girls to wear beautiful clothes.”Lin Yi replied with a smile.
Yesterday, Qingqing was wearing men's clothes. Ever since they met the people from the troupe, the people from the troupe had been looking at them strangely. It was the same when they entered the town. Lin Yi didn't want people to misunderstand that he had a bad taste.
"It's convenient to wear men's clothes. It won't cause trouble.”
Qingqing didn't want to wear men's clothes either. Which girl didn't want to dress up beautifully? But beautiful girls would easily cause trouble outside.
"What are you afraid of? With me around, trouble will avoid us. Don't worry, we'll buy a few nice clothes later. After lunch, we'll go watch a show and set off tomorrow.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Big Brother Lin.”Since Lin Yi already had a plan, Qingqing didn't say anything else and listened to him.
After breakfast, Lin Yi brought Qingqing out of the inn and strolled around Niu Town for a few hours. They looked for a few ready-to-wear shops and tailors, but they didn't find any particularly good-looking clothes. In the end, Lin Yi saw that it was almost noon, so he got an old tailor to alter two clothes according to his instructions. They were finally passable.
After paying, he took the clothes back to the inn. After getting Qingqing to change into new clothes, Lin Yi brought Qingqing to the opera troupe to watch the show.
Today was the box opening performance. Although the troupe had only arrived last night, the person in charge of finding the troupe to perform had already made preparations.
The people from the troupe had arrived. After the procedures were completed, the performance could begin.
People at this time were very superstitious. They had to be superstitious. There were too many evil things. Mountain spirits, ghosts, zombies, and so on really existed. How could they not be superstitious?
For example, on the night of the sealed box performance, every troupe would sing all night. There was no one below the stage, but if one opened their eyes, they would see that the stage was densely packed with ghosts. This was also called singing ghost shows, and it was specially sung for ghosts.
Some places sang the night before the box was opened, while others sang the night after the box was sealed. As for why they sang the ghost play, many places had their own explanations. Some said that it was specially sung for the ancestors, while others said that it was for good luck. After the ghosts heard it, they left satisfied and did not cause trouble for the troupe.
Lin Yi only knew one thing, and he felt that it was quite reliable. It was said that the people in the troupe often pretended to be ghosts and villains, so it was inevitable that they would encounter evil things. Moreover, ghosts listened to the opera, so this ghost play was sung for these ghosts to ensure the safety of the troupe.
"This is it. Let's go in.”Lin Yi pulled Qingqing to the garden where the opera was being performed. He looked at the signs placed at the door. Today, they were going to perform at Lion Restaurant, and it was about the story of Wu Song hacking Ximen Qing to death at Lion Restaurant.
The actress playing Ximen Qing was the big shot Ah Jia.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the system mission,"Ghost-Catching". Help the Chaoshan ghost collect its corpse, transcend reincarnation, and kill the evil ghost. Mission reward: 5000 luck points, 300 yuan.
Chaoshan ghost?
Lin Yi frowned slightly. He had actually triggered a mission. Why did this plot look a little familiar?
Troupe, Chaoshan ghost, f * ck, isn't this a plot where people scare ghosts!
After paying the entrance fee, Lin Yi held Qingqing's small hand and entered the theater. At this moment, the theater was almost full, and only the front row was left empty.
Sitting here would cost more money, which was equivalent to the current first-class seats. There was also a table where you could eat some fruits and drink tea.
Lin Yi had just pulled Qingqing to sit down when someone came over with a tray to collect the money. At this moment, the stage was already beating gongs and drums to start the performance.
Lin Yi threw a large piece of money to the person who was collecting the money. He was so scared that his legs went weak. He stammered," Sir, this large piece of money is too big. I can't change it."”
"If you can't find the change, then don't. I'll take care of this table. I'll also get some peanuts, melon seeds, snacks, and tea.”
"Ah, thank you, sir. I'll get someone to prepare it for you now.”The person who collected the money ran away happily.
For a piece of money, the opera troupe might not even be able to buy a ticket for ten yuan a day. After singing for a day, it would be good if a person could get seven or eight copper coins.
Soon, fruits, pastries, and tea were placed on the table in front of Lin Yi and Qingqing.
While peeling peanuts and drinking tea, he watched the actors on the stage perform with all their might. There was also a handsome girl sitting beside him. This feeling was, um, comfortable.
Just as Lin Yi was happily watching the show, a gust of cold wind blew past. Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and a grapefruit leaf appeared in his hand. He circulated his magic power and wiped his eyelids with the grapefruit leaf. On the stage, there was actually an ugly ghost sitting there. It had an ugly appearance and was watching the performance on the stage with a happy smile.
"This is the Chaoshan ghost."

PS: It's so uncomfortable. I feel like I can't save the manuscript no matter how much I write. I just finished two chapters. The next day, these two chapters have to be sent out.
