"Alright, then I'll tell you.”Lin Yi slapped the table and smiled.
A few people moved chairs over and sat around Lin Yi as if they wanted to listen to a story. The dishes that had just been served had also been moved over. It seemed like they wanted to eat while listening.
"This ghost is from Chaoshan, so it's called Chaoshan Ghost for short. His hobby is to listen to opera, and coincidentally, his corpse was buried under the stage where you were singing.”
"Ah, no way!" The few of them said in unison.
"What, you don't believe me?" Lin Yi looked at these dumbfounded people and asked.
The few of them shook their heads." No, we believe it.”
"Just trust me. I'll go back with you tonight. Is your place next to the theater?”
"Yes, yes. We live behind the theater.”The few of them nodded. They were even more afraid. They actually lived so close to ghosts!
"Okay, then we'll set off after dinner. I'll let you see that mischievous Chaoshan ghost tonight.”
The few of them hurriedly thanked him. They were so respectful to Lin Yi that they almost called him Master. Seeing that Lin Yi had only ordered two dishes, the few of them hurriedly ordered two more meat dishes. In this day and age, meat dishes were already very good dishes. After all, the national economy was low. The five of them had only ordered two dishes for dinner and drank with peanuts.
The few of them were all poor. It was already very generous of them to give Lin Yi two more servings of meat and vegetables.
……
After the meal, Ah Gui and the others gathered the money to settle the bill. The five of them surrounded Lin Yi and Qingqing and escorted Lin Yi to the theater like stars surrounding the moon.
The sky was already completely dark. There were no lanterns in the theater, and the moonlight shone down. Under the dim moonlight, the theater looked ghastly.
Lin Yi didn't bring them directly to the stage. Instead, he asked them to bring him to the manager of the troupe. He originally wanted to look for the troupe master, but these kids said that the troupe master's words were useless and wanted to bring him to the chief butler of the troupe, Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang was an old man in the troupe. He had been the leader of the troupe for two terms. He used to be the pillar of the troupe, but because he had encountered too many evil things and was getting old, he had moved from the stage to the backstage and became the chief butler of the troupe.
Bang! Uncle Zhang's door was pushed open. Ah Gui and the others rushed in anxiously and invited Lin Yi and Qingqing in.
In the room, Uncle Zhang and the troupe master were playing chess. Only the marshal was left on the troupe master's side. He was surrounded by Uncle Zhang's pawns. He did not know what the two of them were playing.
The two of them were just saying that this game of chess was considered a draw when the door was pushed open by a group of young men. They even respectfully invited Lin Yi and Qingqing in, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.
"Ah Gui, what are you guys doing? Why aren't you sleeping at night?”Uncle Zhang was played by the same person as Ninth Uncle. They were both Uncle Ying. However, for some reason, this Uncle Zhang looked a little like Ninth Uncle. They were definitely not the same person.
"Uncle, this is a friend we met riding a horse on the way to Niu Town. He's a Taoist priest. Today, I got into trouble on the stage, and he said it was because of ghosts.”Ah Gui said nervously to Uncle Zhang.
"What did you say? Yes!" The troupe master was so afraid that he did not dare to say the word ghost. He did not talk about people in the day and ghosts at night. He was looking for trouble by talking about ghosts at night.
"This friend, I'm Zhang Sheng. I wonder what you're talking about?”Uncle Zhang stood up and asked Lin Yi seriously.
"My name is Lin Yi. Today, when you performed Lion's Restaurant on stage, Ah Gui and that big shot performed. It was that little brat who caused trouble and made Ah Gui's knife unable to cut down. In the end, he even kicked the big shot off the stage. Today, Ah Gui invited me to dinner. I can help you with this matter.”Lin Yi said indifferently.
If he wanted to dig up the remains of the Chaoshan ghost from under the stage, he would have to go through the troupe. After all, they had rented the venue and they did not agree. It would not be good for Lin Yi to carry out the work below. Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have gone through so much trouble to find him.
"This, do you think this is reliable?" The troupe leader asked Uncle Zhang in a low voice.
"It's better to believe it. Let's give it a try.”
"Okay, let's give it a try."
After so many years, the troupe leader had encountered many strange things. After coming to Niu Town, he had already encountered a few things. First, the people in the troupe were knocked down for no reason, and the curtains were lifted to peek at the actresses when they went to the toilet. However, no one lifted the curtains. The curtains were lifted by themselves.
Today was even more strange. The person on the stage had been kicked off! There were so many people watching. Ah Jia jumped down on her own. Ah Gui had explained before that she didn't cause trouble. There was something strange about the matter. Otherwise, Ah Gui would have been reprimanded and even fired.
Now that Lin Yi said that there was a ghost, they actually believed him.
"Daoist Priest Lin Yi, I'll leave this matter to you.”Uncle Zhang cupped his hands at Lin Yi and said.
"It's easy to say. It's just a little ghost. Follow me.”Lin Yi shrugged. It was just catching a ghost. To the current Lin Yi, it was extremely simple.
"Alright."
……
"Daoist Priest Lin Yi, the backstage is in front. That's where we put our costumes and props.”
"Eh? Strange, why was the light still on? They didn't allow lights to be lit overnight.”
"Stop talking. Let's see how Daoist Priest Lin Yi deals with this.”
Under the guidance of a few people, Lin Yi had already arrived at the stage. Behind him was the backstage. Usually, the people in the troupe changed their clothes and changed their personnel here. The venue was not big. With the number of people in Ah Gui's troupe, it would be very crowded here.
"Put the things on the table." Following Lin Yi's instructions, Ah Gui placed the incense burner on the table. Then, someone lit three incense sticks.
Three wisps of green smoke curled up. Lin Yi took out a grapefruit leaf and wiped it on his eyelids. He looked around and indeed, the Chaoshan ghost was sitting at the table beside him, looking at them curiously.
"I'm a disciple of Mao Mountain. Lin Yi, Chaoshan Ghost, if you have any grievances, quickly report it and you can show yourself.”Lin Yi calmly looked at Chaoshan Ghost Dao.
"Yes! This person looked familiar. He can see me!" The Chaoshan Ghost panicked under Lin Yi's gaze. He was already timid and subconsciously wanted to run. However, when he heard Lin Yi say that he had wronged him and that he had to report it quickly and even ask him to appear, the Chaoshan Ghost was no longer in a hurry.
"Really? Is he a Taoist priest?" Chaoshan Ghost couldn't believe it. He moved closer to Lin Yi and waved his hand in front of him.
"Hey, are you done playing? I can really see you. Show your true form. You've already been dead for 300 years.”Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
"This, Brother Lin is talking to a ghost!”Ah Biao asked in a daze. Although he was surrounded by his brothers, he was still afraid that there was an invisible ghost around. His forehead was offended and his legs were trembling.
"Shh, shut up. I'm disturbing Taoist Master Lin and Brother Ghost's conversation.”Ah Guang's eyes widened as he spoke in a trembling voice. He was also very afraid.
To be honest, everyone present was afraid. Who wouldn't be afraid of something they couldn't see or touch?
