The second half of this year has been a year of ups and downs for The Masked.

In other words, this is true for most music programs in China.

Originally, music competition programs have gradually become aesthetically tired, and life is not very good.

It's just a matter of competing with each other.

Unexpectedly, there was another enemy who couldn't beat them with eight poles, but went to their rice bowl to grab food.

And this enemy is still a super pot-bellied monster, the kind that several people can't feed.

Dongyuan University's school song competition, in September and October, for more than a month, almost monopolized the traffic and attention of music competition programs.

Whether it is "The Masked" or "The King of Singers", or the new singing street", the ratings have dropped sharply, and the discussion after each competition is pitiful.

But after early October, the situation quickly eased and the heat began to heat up.

The beginning of the "Ten Cities Music Competition" has brought music programs to the attention of the whole people.

Even the grocery shopping aunt is keen to help her city find "seed players" on various music programs.

"This young man sings well, and he can represent our city in the competition!"

Or, "I think that girl is good, she can definitely win!"

The ratings of major music programs, which have been cut in half, are rapidly recovering, and then climbing to the peak.

But by this time, several music programs have come to an end.

Among them, "The Masked" is the most progressive, and the final exhibition competition, the "Annual Ceremony", has been officially recorded.

All the champions, whether they succeed in defending or fail in defending the ring, will take the stage for a final performance.

After Gu Xiaobai, Fenghe successfully defended two more periods, and was finally kicked off the stage by a young powerful singer.

After the wind and the unmasking, it also caused a heated discussion.

After all, Fenghe has always been hidden behind the scenes as a producer, and it turns out that he is standing in front of the stage, and he is so strong.

"Big Tree" and "Big Tree 2" can be said to be the two most successful dark horses in this issue of "The Masked".

And the program team of "The Masked" is also very much looking forward to Gu Xiaobai being able to appear in the final ceremony of "The Masked".

Previously, the "Masked" program team had contacted Sister Shen several times, but Sister Shen refused on the grounds that Gu Xiaobai's itinerary was inconvenient.

But this time, it was a somewhat familiar man's voice that picked up the phone.

Send me the invitation, and I'll get back to you. ”

The tone over there was quite familiar, and he hung up the phone without saying anything.

The director who came forward to contact here did not have any anger when he was hung up, but looked dazed.

Why is this sound so familiar?

Who is it? Who is it?

Why is it that the name is on the lips, but it can't be called?

Even so, this was the first time he saw hope, and he hurriedly sent the invitation.

On the other side, Hao Fanbai hung up the phone, printed out the other party's invitation, and went straight to Sister Shan's office.

Sister Shan was also very busy, and when she heard Hao Fanbai's report, she said helplessly: "Masked"? Xiaobai has refused many times, and now Xiaobai is busy making his own design plan, I'm afraid he won't have time to participate in the ......"

"I took a closer look at their schedule, it happened to be the time when Xiaobai went to Nanjiang to participate in the tour, so I didn't have to make a special trip to save a lot of time, and the price of their invitation was really high, even if it was for Xiaobai's laboratory, it was worth going once. ”

"I've already persuaded Xiaobai, but he doesn't want to go ......," Sister Flash sighed.

Other stars, if there are any job opportunities, I am afraid that they will be happy.

But this one of my own is always pushed again and again.

Then Sister Shan sighed and said, "I'm not very reluctant to force Xiaobai to go on stage, in fact, I can see that every time he stands on the stage, he thinks of the blind uncle, and then his mood will be low for a while......"

This sentence made Hao Fanbai also silent.

He suddenly remembered the tears that were cut off when he first saw Gu Xiaobai backstage on the tour.

At that time, he didn't understand, and he didn't know who Gu Xiaobai was crying for.

And then he understood.

Sister Shan shook her head and said, "And...... Xiaobai seems to be particularly resistant to "Masked", and I don't know why, when I mention masked, I look unhappy......"

Sister Shan didn't know that the reason why Gu Xiaobai resisted the mask was because it was the uncle of "The Masked", which made Gu Xiaobai travel to decades later, and found that Bai Gan was dead, so he decided to save Bai Gan.

But he saved Bai Gan, but he lost his blind uncle.

That's how fucked up the world is.

Whenever he thinks of "The Masked", Gu Xiaobai will fall into unspeakable self-blame.

Hao Fanbai sighed and said, "Let me persuade Xiaobai, people can't always be immersed in sadness, they have to come out of ......."

In this world, there may be no one who understands Xiaobai's mood better than him, after all, he has felt Xiaobai's anger.

There are five stages of human grief.

Rejection, anger, negotiation, frustration, acceptance.

Gu Xiaobai's way of refusing was that he didn't dare to return to the Spring and Autumn Period, and he didn't dare to be sure if the blind uncle was really dead.

When he was truly sure that the blind man was gone, a monstrous anger ensued.

If it weren't for the system dragging Hao Fanbai to the Spring and Autumn Period, I'm afraid Gu Xiaobai would really change history and kill Guan Zhong.

And Hao Fanbai personally inherited Gu Xiaobai's anger.

As deep as a person's anger is, so is his sorrow.

......

2,700 years ago, it was spring again.

The young man in a purple robe sat in front of the lonely grave without any image, looking up at the sky.

"Blind uncle, I've tried, I've tried countless times. ”

"No matter what I do, I can't go back to that day...... There's no way to bring you back. ”

"Blind uncle, I don't want you to go, but I can't save you......"

"I don't want Uncle Bai to die, but I don't want you to die either. ”

"Why do you have to lose one? Why?"

"What should I do, blind man, please tell me ......"

In this world, the vast majority of people, after refusal and anger, can only "negotiate" and negotiate with the world, hoping that they can do something to change the past that can no longer be changed.

Gu Xiaobai is no exception, the difference is that he feels that he can change the past.

But...... Not really.

The spring breeze blew through the branches, through the grass, through the cheeks and hair of the young man.

But it couldn't dry the tears on the boy's face.

Suddenly, Bai Gan, who was guarding in the distance, shouted: "Who is it?"

Guan Zhong, or Hao Fanbai, slowly walked out from afar, he looked at Gu Xiaobai, who was sad alone, and said to Bai Gan: "I want to persuade you to ......."

"You can't persuade you. Bai Gan shook his head, and then said, "I can't persuade either." ”

Hao Fanbai sighed: "You can't let your lord be so sad all the time, Siren has passed away, and it's time for your lord to let go." ”

"I know, but ......" Bai Gan shook his head, and then his eyes lit up: "The person who can persuade you is here!"

In the distance, the little moth held a bouquet of paulownia flowers, led the little white sheep, and jumped over.

A year has passed, and the little white sheep has become a big white sheep, and two horns have grown on its head.

"Brother Xiaobai!" The little moth saw Gu Xiaobai and screamed happily, and the little white sheep also bleated, came to Gu Xiaobai's side, and gently pushed him with his horns.

Gu Xiaobai stretched out his hand and gently touched the little moth's head.

A year has passed, and the little moth has grown a little taller, but it is still petite.

I don't know if the weather in early spring is still a little cold, or if I ran all the way over, the little moth's face was flushed, and Gu Xiaobai's head was touched, and it suddenly turned even redder.

Then she stretched out her hand to help Gu Xiaobai wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly:

"Brother Xiaobai, don't be sad...... If the blind man has a spirit in heaven, he must not want to see you like this......"

Gu Xiaobai smiled and did not speak.

"Oh, don't be sad, you see the little white sheep are laughing at you. ”

"Baa ......," the little white sheep bleated, nibbling on the grass growing next to the grave.

"Blind uncle, I've come to see you again. The little moth turned his head and looked at the grave of the blind uncle: "Look, the tung flowers are blooming, I helped you pick them, but they are fragrant, you smell ......."

Gu Xiaobai watched the little moth put the tung flower on the grave, and then chattered about his experience of singing in the market, and his fists slowly clenched.

No, I'm not going to give up!

I can do it!

One more time!

It was 2,700 years ago again.

Gu Xiaobai opened his eyes suddenly.

In front of him, a familiar figure flickered.

Younger than Uncle Bai.

Am I back?

Am I finally back to before the incident?

"Uncle Bai, isn't it right...... Is it Bai Tian?" Gu Xiaobai looked at Bai Tian, who was already middle-aged in front of him, and closed his eyes.

I...... It turned out to be back decades later.

Why, why I just can't go back to that day!

"Your Majesty. Another low voice came, Gu Xiaobai opened his eyes again, and saw Bai Gan standing not far away.

He was gray-haired, but his figure was still straight.

Seeing the old Uncle Bai, at that moment, Gu Xiaobai finally couldn't help it.

He threw himself out, hugged Bai Gan, and cried.

"Uncle Bai, I just want to save you back, why did I kill the blind uncle, woo woo woo, why...... Why ......"

This is the first time that Gu Xiaobai has confided everything in front of Bai Gan.

Because it's not in vain, it's his choice.

But now, he finally couldn't help it.

Bai Gan was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, gently patted Gu Xiaobai's back, and said, "Good boy, good boy...... I've always been there, I've always been ......"

cried in Bai Gan's arms for a while, and then Gu Xiaobai wiped his tears embarrassedly.

His current body is already a middle-aged man, but he cries like a child, and he is very embarrassed.

"Uncle Bai, come with me to see the blind uncle again. Gu Xiaobai said in a low voice.

Driving and driving, like every time before.

The carriage drove out of the palace and headed south of the city.

Turning a corner, Gu Xiaobai's eyes widened suddenly.

On the grave of the blind uncle, a towering plane tree, the tung flowers are fragrant.
