Under the Aura Gazing Technique, all air currents could not hide.
Although the sky above Jiuquan Town was bustling with people, dark clouds still covered the sky.
This was not a good sign!
It meant that there were demons in Jiuquan Town.
"Jiuquan Town is haunted!"
Ren Tingting and Dong Xiaowan were both surprised.
If Lin Yi said that this place was haunted, then this place must be haunted!
"Yes, but since I'm here, there shouldn't be a problem.”
Lin Yi nodded and said confidently.
Ren Tingting and Dong Xiaowan's eyes widened when they saw the confident smile on Lin Yi's face.
Staring at it in a daze.
It was said that confident men were the most handsome. Indeed, this was true.
The convoy slowly entered the town.
Jiuquan Town was named after Jiuquan, so it was naturally a big town for brewing wine. The wine here was not only popular in the nearby villages and towns, but it was also very famous in the provincial capital.
There were specialized caravans that came here to stock up, so the flow of people was much larger than in Ren Town.
After entering the town, Lin Yi's group was not very eye-catching. There were many groups of caravans in Jiuquan Town, so it was not a big deal for a dozen unfamiliar faces to come.
The Ren family also had a business in Jiuquan Town and owned a property.
Lin Yi and the others didn't go to the hotel after arriving here. They directly entered and stayed here for the next two days.
……
Afternoon!
Guangde Building.
This theater had been in Jiuquan Town for many years.
It couldn't be compared to the big theaters in the provincial capital. It was for the common people to see.
There were many benches in the venue, and only the front row had tables.
Lin Yi, Ren Tingting, and Dong Xiaowan sat in the front row.
She was peeling peanuts while drinking tea.
The surrounding people couldn't help but cast sidelong glances. They had never seen two young ladies serve a young master like this in a theater.
This wasn't a show, but a show of affection!
"Ah Yi, open your mouth."
Ren Tingting brought the peeled peanuts to Lin Yi's mouth.
Lin Yi was a little embarrassed. He was a young man, yet he was being taken care of by a lady from a noble family.
She blushed!
He opened his mouth and ate it.
Yes! How fragrant!
"The person above is Ximen Qing?"
"That's right!"
"Could it be Wu Song downstairs?"
"Yes, I, Wu Song, am here!"
On the stage, gongs and drums were beating. Two people, one acting as Wu Song and the other acting as Ximen Qing, started fighting on the stage.
This play was an extract from the Lion's Pavilion, a very classic opera.
It had to be said that the martial arts students in the troupe at this time were really skilled. Every movement was smooth and smooth. They flipped forward and backward continuously, tossing and turning. They were clean and nimble, and they did not even gasp when they were done.
"Wow, Ah Yi, they're so powerful.”
"It's normal. One minute on stage is ten years of practice off stage. This is all practiced since young.”
Lin Yi smiled. Wasn't it just a somersault? Forget about him, even if Qiu Sheng came, it would be a piece of cake.
"Here, have a piece of peanut cake."
Lin Yi picked up a piece of peanut cake from the table and brought it to Ren Tingting's mouth.
He couldn't just enjoy it and not do anything.
Ren Tingting's small face blushed with joy. She opened her mouth slightly and took a bite. Then, she took the peanut cake and held it in her palm. Her heart was sweet.
"Little Wan, you eat too."
Lin Yi picked up another piece and handed it to Dong Xiaowan.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Dong Xiaowan didn't let Lin Yi feed her. After receiving it, she thanked him and ate it with both hands.
"Eh? What happened to them?"
Ren Tingting stole a glance at Lin Yi as she ate. Suddenly, she heard an old man at the next table ask in confusion.
He raised his head and saw that the person playing Wu Song on the stage was stiff. He was in a position to cut someone up and did not move at all.
Suddenly!
Wu Song suddenly jumped up and did three somersaults.
This change shocked everyone.
Alright, flip in the air! He was still flipping in the air! This was considered a basic skill, and all the martial arts students in the troupe knew it. However, it was very rare for someone to be able to do two consecutive somersaults.
Unless he jumped down from a high place.
However, he did a somersault on the spot! And three!
He had never seen it before!
He had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
On the stage, Ximen Qing was also dumbfounded.
"When did this kid learn how to do three somersaults in the air!”
"Good!"
The audience instantly exploded with cheers.
For today's scene, it was already worth the ticket price to be able to see this triple flip in the air.
The drummers on stage were dumbfounded.
This wasn't right! It was different from the rehearsal!
They didn't do this during rehearsal!
However, the show was not over yet, and the people below had not left. They could not stop.
Mine, mine, mine, mine.
Continue to beat the drums!
The people on stage continued to act.
Below, there were people collecting rewards. They were carrying two round baskets in rows to collect rewards.
When he arrived at Lin Yi's side, he flicked his finger, and a piece of ocean flew out from his finger and accurately landed in the bamboo basket.
"When did you learn to do three somersaults?”
Pa!
Xi Men Qing slapped Wu Song's face.
"Good boy, you stole my limelight!"
"I, I didn't!"
Wu Song was still dumbfounded.
He really didn't do anything!
Although he really wanted to be an actor, the actor in the troupe was this Ximen Qing. They were all relying on his fame to make a living.
The entire troupe was supporting him, so how could he steal his limelight?
"You're going to kill me later!"
"I-I can't control it!"
"If you don't kill me, I won't be able to stop!”
The two of them chatted quietly.
However, what he said was quite good. When Wu Song wanted to kill Ximen Qing, Wu Song's movements became stiff again.
This time, Ren Tingting realized that something was wrong.
"Ah Yi, did something happen?"
"That's right, there's a troublemaker on stage, haha.”
Lin Yi watched with relish.
This ghost was interesting. Its body was gray, and it was a ghost that had died unjustly. Moreover, judging from the concentration of its aura, it should have been dead for hundreds of years.
However, he didn't have any negative karma on him and was a good ghost that didn't harm anyone.
However, this ghost was too much of a troublemaker. It was playing tricks on others on the stage.
It was said that opera troupes often pretended to be ghosts and villains, so it was inevitable that they would encounter some strange and evil things.
Therefore, there were rules in the troupe. No one was allowed to talk about humans during the day and no ghosts at night.
The night before the performance, there would be a performance on the stage, which was specially for ghosts to watch.
After that, there would be a show called the White Tiger Sacrifice, which could be considered the opening show.
The act of worshipping the white tiger was only an act. The two actors played the roles of the Martial God of Wealth, Xuan Tan, and the white tiger.
The God of Wealth had a black face and wore a black four-colored coat and red pants. He was dressed in a black robe and a red robe as described in the ancient book.
The white tiger wore tiger clothes, a mask, and was barefooted. After the actors were dressed, people had to avoid them.
The firecrackers on the stage signified the opening. The God of Wealth began to jump on the stage and step on every corner of the stage to expel the evil spirit.
Then, the God of Wealth went to sleep. When he woke up, the tiger was gone. The God of Wealth jumped onto the table, looking like a tiger on a mountain. At this moment, Tiger came on stage and took off the raw pork hanging on the stage. He put it close to the mask to show that he had eaten the pork and threw the pork under the table.
The God of Wealth jumped down and fought with the white tiger for a while, then rode on the tiger's back and wrapped the chain around the tiger's mouth, indicating that the tiger could not open its mouth to hurt humans and animals.
the God of Wealth rode a tiger down the stage. Actors could only return backstage after removing their makeup and returning to their mortal identities at Hudu Sect. When the gongs and drums stopped, the troupe members shouted in unison, indicating that the taboo had been lifted and that they could speak.
White represented feminine, rebellious, impure, and unlucky in plays.
The common people believed that the white tiger was the incarnation of the tiger that was five hundred years old. It was an ominous star that would open its mouth to hurt people when it woke up.
This was also the reason why the actors performing the white tiger must not speak before the ceremony was completed once they put on the mask.
At the same time, the troupe would also worship Patriarch Huaguang.
But it was already like this! How could this ghost cause trouble here so openly!
Interesting!
