Chapter 1: The Death of a Famous Singer
"Now insert a piece of instant news: At 5:50 Yanjing time in the early hours of this morning, the well-known editor Shen You died suddenly due to overwork.
According to the staff on the set, Shen You had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights......
Special correspondent Lin will report for you. ”
————————————
It was quiet, except for the vague breathing and heartbeat, and the only sound was the clanging of the pendulum.
Shredded sunlight peeked in through the dense trees outside the window, shining on the side face of a sleeping man at the desk by the window.
I don't know how long it took, maybe he gradually felt the warmth of the sun, and the sleeping man let out a "sigh" and slowly opened his eyes.
"Where is this? How am I here?"
Seeing the completely unfamiliar environment around him, Shen You frowned slightly, and his heart was full of doubts.
He slowly stood up from his desk, rubbed the corners of his swollen forehead vigorously, and began to try to remember what had happened before.
I vaguely remember that in order to match the release time of the film, I burst my liver for three days in a row, but unfortunately, I felt that the sky was dark after I completed the first cut......
When I woke up again, I inexplicably appeared in this strange place.
As for which bastard got himself here from the editing room on the set?
Shen You couldn't think of an answer even if he wanted to break his head.
After some hard thinking to no avail, he had to give up and observe the study in front of him with curiosity.
The study area is not large, only twenty or thirty square meters, and the decoration style is biased towards Chinese. The south-facing casement window has a yellow rosewood square table under the window, and on the left side of the square table is a mahogany carved inlay screen, and behind the screen is a long row of bookshelves leaning against the east wall.
There are many books on the shelves, including literature, history, philosophy, art, etc., and many of them still have traces of frequent flipping.
In the corner of the bookshelf, there was a complete set of history books, Shen You thought it was the twenty-four histories at first, but after a closer look, he realized that something was wrong.
"Historical Records", "Book of Han", "Book of Later Han", all the way to "Book of Sui", "History of the South", "History of the North" are very complete, "Book of Tang" and "History of the Five Dynasties" only include one old edition, and the five dynasties are not the history books of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, but a thick "History of Zhou".
"The History of the Zhou Dynasty is the history of which Zhou Dynasty? There doesn't seem to be this one in the Twenty-Four History, right?"
With curiosity, Shen You took down the surprisingly thick "History of Zhou" from the bookshelf.
Turning the page, I saw that the first chapter of the opening chapter was impressively written: "Taizu Holy Spirit Gongsu Wenwuxiao Emperor, surnamed Guo, is also from Yaoshan in Xingzhou." ……”
"It turned out to be Guo Wei's Hou Zhou!"
Shen You nodded thoughtfully, but the doubts in his heart deepened.
Can you write such a thick history of 100 years? This author can really write the number of words.
The last two pages were just some ordinary notes, until he turned to the third of this chronicle: "Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen, the ancestor of the family, his surname is Chai, and he is also from Longgang, Xingzhou." The daughter of the Chai family is suitable for the Taizu, and she is the queen of Shengmu. ……”
"What? Chai Rong's temple number is not Sejong but Sezu? There is something wrong with this book!"
Seeing this, Shen You's heart was flooded with turbulent waves.
Most of the ancient emperors' temples had to follow the regulations, and they were called ancestors with merit and virtue. Generally, most of the people who can be called ancestors after death are the founding emperors and have the merit of opening up the dynasty, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty are only called emperors.
What merit does Chai Rong, who died young, have to be called the ancestor?
Continuing to look, Shen You quickly discovered the problem, the seventh in this era: "In the sixth year of Xiande (959), in the summer and April, the emperor led the army to the north...... , the ancestor established the three levels, in case of illness is returned, to the abyss, slow to stay, although the close ministers of Zai Fu asked the sick are not seen.
It was night, the emperor was sick and lying down, and suddenly dreamed that a green-robed Taoist came to see him.
The Taoist in the green robe called Huashan Chen Tuan, and he was grateful for the emperor's grace in the past, and he was given a golden pill to relieve the emperor's illness.
The emperor took the golden pill, and in ten days, the eucharistic fruit was healed.
……”
"Chen Tuo fell into a dream, Jin Dan continued his life, this plot is too mysterious, Xianxia novels don't dare to make it up like this, right?"
Although Shen You was full of doubts about the things recorded in this "History of Zhou", he also patiently continued to read it.
After that, things were logical, and after recovering from his illness, Zhou Shizu Chai Rong continued the Northern Expedition, and it took only three years to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun one after another.
In September of the 11th year of Xiande, the Great Zhou court officially moved the capital from Bianliang to Yanjing.
In the seventeenth year of Xiande, Zhou destroyed Xishu.
In the twenty-first year of Xiande, Zhou destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In the twenty-third year of Xiande, Zhou destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty.
……
The trend of history has completely changed, Zhou Shizu Chai Rong did not die young, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin naturally did not have the opportunity to add a yellow robe, and the subsequent Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were impossible to talk about.
However, the decadent system of the feudal dynasty could not keep up with the wheel of history after all.
In October 1911, a long-brewing democratic revolution finally broke out.
The last emperor Zhou Minzong Chai Yuan was forced to announce his abdication on February 12 of the following year, and China officially entered the era of democratic republic.
"These, shouldn't be true?"
Seeing the records in the history books, Shen You was also a little unsure of the history he had learned.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
Could it be that I crossed over?
Perhaps this is no longer the original world, but a parallel space where history has forked the road.
Soul wearing?
As soon as he thought of this, Shen You noticed his abnormality.
Slender fingers, pale skin, light body, clear vision......
These things that I once had and lost are now back.
Put down the book, walked out of the study quickly, turned around and entered the bathroom next to it, and Shen You saw his face at this time in the mirror in the bathroom.
With a tall nose, deep eyes, and a handsome sculptural face, there is a hint of mystery in the elegance of the whole person, and a little sadness in the mystery.
"Is this my face?"
Shen You muttered to himself, and his right hand couldn't help but caress his cheek.
Just as Shen You touched his face and was self-absorbed, fragments of memories that did not belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Dad, don't go, don't you really want me and Mom?"
"Mom, I don't want to learn Tsing Yi anymore, don't let me wear women's clothes anymore, okay?"
"Xiaolou, you should learn from Master Qin, and when you are out of school, your mother will come to see you. ”
"I sang well today, I can sing like this on stage for the first time, and I will be able to surpass Master in the future. ”
"Okay, this singing, this body, it's really amazing, it's just Mr. Mei's reincarnation!"
"Congratulations to Boss Shen, you are the leader again in this year's Liyuan Danjiao selection. ”
"From today on, Shen has withdrawn from the pear orchard and will not sing on stage again in the future. ”
"Ah, Boss Shen thinks twice!"
……
Pain!
Shen You held his exploding head in both hands, and the memories of the two lives began to slowly merge.
The things I have experienced in my past and present lives, the books I have read, the songs I have heard, the movies I have watched......
It's all framed frame by frame, stored in the depths of memory.
Shen Yuelou: male, 26 years old, a national first-class actor of the People's Republic of China, a famous Peking Opera performance artist.
Born in 1993 in a family of Yanjing Liyuan, his father Shen Yunhua is a famous Xiaosheng, and his mother Ding Mei is a famous Huadan.
When he was six years old, his parents divorced, Shen Yunhua left Dongying, and Shen Yuelou was sent by his mother to the Spring and Autumn Opera Club to learn Peking Opera.
At first, he studied Hua Dan, and then under the guidance of a famous teacher, he changed to Tsing Yi.
Because of his talent and intelligence, he studied drama and was willing to work hard, and soon made a name for himself in the troupe.
He made his debut at the age of fourteen and was an instant hit.
At the age of sixteen, he won the Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Opera and became famous.
At the age of eighteen, he withdrew from the Spring and Autumn Opera Club and said goodbye to Liyuan for a year.
At the age of nineteen, his voice recovered, and he was specially recruited to enter the National Peking Opera Troupe, becoming the youngest famous actor in Liyuan in China.
In 2013, her mother Ding Mei died of illness, and Shen Yuelou suffered from depression, so she announced that she would seal the box and withdraw from the pear orchard.
Two days ago, Shen Yuelou, who was suffering from illness, chose to end his young life with sleeping pills. ”
The boiling memories gradually cooled, and Shen You also looked back on Shen Yuelou's life.
