Chapter 112: The Storyteller (I)

(The first update is sent, asking for a ticket and asking for a reward)

Jin Guliang returned after four months, and after his return, he severed his relationship with the "Legend of Martial Arts" magazine and became a free man.

Some netizens analyzed: "Although Jin Guliang suffered a little loss this time, from another point of view, after he broke away from the martial arts legend, the future road may go farther and farther." “

As a banner writer in today's martial arts industry, Jin Guliang's appeal to readers is extraordinary. As a result, now that he is a free man, he has become the bread of major magazines and publishing houses.

Soon after he became a free man, major domestic magazines vied with each other to throw olive branches to him. Similar to "Bosom Friend", "Ancient and Modern Legends", "Story Club" and other domestic first-class magazines are no exception.

As for the news that Jin Guliang has become the target of major magazines, netizens in the industry are not surprised.

Some netizens joked: "Look at how popular Jin Guliang is, even magazines like "Bosom Friend" that specialize in life and love stories want him to join. ”

Major magazines are vying to throw olive branches, and netizens are looking forward to which one will Jinguliang enter?

However, what makes netizens strange is that for many days, no news of Jin Guliang has been exposed, and there is no movement on his personal Weibo.

"Jin Guliang seems to have disappeared again?"

This is the question in the minds of netizens.

"Damn, Jin Guliang won't lose his phone again, right?"

"It is estimated that I lost 20 million, my heart hurts, and I ran to cry silently."

"The egg hurts, the final ending of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" has not been written yet! I've been waiting to see the ending, I've been waiting for almost half a year, and I haven't seen any chicken feathers. ”

Northern Shaanxi, Yulin City. Located on the Loess Plateau, it was the birthplace of the early revolutions.

In the north of Yulin City, which is a suburb of the city, there is an ancient and elegant teahouse called "Shutang".

Speaking of this teahouse, if you want to ask the old generation of local households in Yulin City, six or seven out of ten have heard of it, and it is very famous.

The reason why this teahouse called "Shutang" is so famous in Yulin City is because this teahouse operates a traditional folk art - storytelling.

Storytelling, perhaps some people have seen it in TV series and some programs, and very little has heard it live in person. However, when it comes to storytelling, the most impressive thing about it should be that a storyteller is dressed in a cyan robe, sets up a long table, and holds a piece of shocking wood.

Storytelling, also known as storytelling, originally originated in the Song Dynasty and originated in what is now northern Shaanxi, and evolved from a means of begging and making a living for the blind.

The musical instrument used in storytelling is very simple, at first the pipa was used, and then it was gradually eliminated and changed to a three-stringed string, and then it was gradually omitted, and now it has only developed to a table and a stool, a piece of waking wood, removing the strings and drums, and speaking with commentary. Later, this form of storytelling was settled.

One day at the end of November, at six o'clock in the evening, a young man came to this teahouse.

The young man was dressed in an ordinary outfit with short hair and a shirt.

The young man glanced up at the plaque hanging on his head, with gold letters on a black background, and the three big characters "Shutang" were written. Afterwards, the young man strode into the teahouse of the wooden building.

As soon as you enter the teahouse, the area inside is very large, and you can see a large platform with a red curtain hanging on the opposite side.

At the bottom of the platform, there are one or twenty square tables and seventy or eighty benches, which are completely decorated like teahouses in the Republic of China.

At this time, on the square tables placed on the first floor of the teahouse, there were already more than 100 people sitting down, and tea and snacks were served. The scene is noisy and lively, it should be a teahouse.

The young man who came to this teahouse was Ye Chen.

Ye Chen entered the door, walked to the front desk that looked like the counter of an ancient inn, took out his mobile phone, and opened a Wei letter QR code.

"Guest officer, tonight's ticket office is full, if you want to hear the story, please come back next time." In charge of the front desk was a cheongsam girl dressed in the Republic of China, who said to the guests in line in front of her.

When the guests in front of Ye Chen heard this, they had no choice but to leave.

Then it was his turn.

"I'm here to get my tickets!" Before the cheongsam woman at the front desk could say anything, Ye Chen handed over the mobile phone in his hand.

"Wait a minute!" The cheongsam woman took his mobile phone and performed a series of operations on the computer ticket machine placed at the front desk.

Ten seconds later, the cheongsam woman handed Ye Chen a ticket marked with the location number he was sitting on today.

Ye Chen thanked him and looked at the location on the ticket, which was marked as No. 4 on the second floor.

"I didn't expect this teahouse to be quite popular, and I still need to make an appointment in advance." Ye Chen muttered in his heart, so he went up to the second floor, found his place, and sat down.

From the location on the second floor where he was, he could see a qiē in the hall downstairs, and tonight, he had come to listen to the commentary.

The time flickered to seven o'clock, and the originally noisy teahouse suddenly became a lot quieter, and I saw the red curtain hanging on the platform in the hall slowly rising.

The curtain opened, and the platform was empty, except for a long cyan table, a bench, and a piece of waking wood on the long table.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in Republic of China came out of the stage, first briefly said some scenes, and then entered the topic, saying, welcome to you tonight, not much to say, please our old friend, the heir of the national intangible cultural heritage, the famous storyteller, Mr. Guan Shiyun.

Subsequently, an old man in a long shirt walked out from behind the stage, with a green shirt and a white beard, in good spirits and slightly sunken eyes.

As soon as the old man appeared, the audience burst into warm applause.

Undoubtedly, this old man in green shirt is tonight's storyteller.

The old man walked to the corner of the long table, first bowed to the audience, and then pulled the corner of his shirt and sat down on the bench.

"Bang!" The old man picked up the waking wood on the table, slapped it on the table, and the storytelling began.

"Storytelling, singing, and persuasion,

Three main roads go in the center.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end,

The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life! “

"Today, let's talk about the spear book "The Legend of Jingzhong Yue"!"

“”

As the saying goes, "as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, it depends on whether there is one", the old man said that the words are round, with a unique tone in northern Shaanxi, full of energy, long and powerful, even if people who don't know how to comment on the story hear it, they also know that this is an expert.

Ye Chen, upstairs, listened to the old man's commentary, and nodded secretly in his heart.

In the Qing Dynasty, the vast majority of folk storytelling were set up tents on both sides of the road, long benches were placed, and rectangular fields were enclosed, which was called "abandoning the ground". Only a handful of storytellers performed at the teahouse. In the Republic of China period, the storytelling teahouse gradually rose, which was the heyday.

The start-up "book" who opened the teahouse had to pass through a so-called "inviter" (that is, the host in the library), that is, the middle-aged man who had just come up.
