Chapter 115: Singing Ghost Shows
Hearing this, the expression on my uncle's face became very solemn, and my father was drunk in a daze, and was already lying on the bed and snoring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Grandpa is okay, I have heard Tie Lao Dao say it many times before, and he is already prepared in his heart, and he is not too surprised.
After I heard Tie Lao Dao finish speaking, I muttered: "Isn't it just haunted, and it's a long story short!" It can be summed up in a few words, but you just put this bunch together! ā
Mu Yang shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Tie Lao Dao: "Railway Chief, since you said so, does it mean that the river drama has stopped?" ā
Tie Laodao shook his head: "It's too late, no one listens to it, now that the matter has come to this, not to mention that the Yang Municipal Party Committee disagrees, the unjust souls in the river can't agree!" ā
Grandpa smiled bitterly and sighed, and said to Tie Laodao: "Okay, the matter has come to this, so don't be verbose, tell me what you think!" ā
Tie Lao Dao smiled, then took out the cigarette gun in the big pocket, stuffed some tobacco in the pipe, grandpa gave me a look, I took out the lighter and stepped forward, respectfully lit the tobacco in his pipe.
After taking a sharp puff of dry smoke, Tie Lao Dao slowly spoke: "I have a way to appease these unjust souls!" It's tomorrow night, after the play is over, another ghost show will be sung..."
I understand the meaning of Tie Lao Dao, originally our Linjiang Village has always been safe and sound, and the reason why people have been killed one after another in the past few days is completely because of the ten days of river drama.
Because this singing river opera also has the rules of singing river opera, but the river opera has disappeared for too long in our Linjiang Village, and it is not easy to simulate the scene of the 100-day river opera hundreds of years ago, and almost no one knows what the original rules were.
According to Tie Lao Dao, just singing a big drama can't happen. But the time and place of singing are very problematic.
Because the river opera is opened in the evening, and it is sung until after 12 o'clock in the evening, this belongs to the yin time.
And the place where the opera is sung is on the river, and the river is yin, which is yin!
sang a big drama for the yang people in the yin and yin places, which was taboo.
In addition, the time of singing the river opera was not well chosen, and the time of the first day of the gong actually caught up with the cloudy day.
As soon as the river drama opens, it is like a magnet, gathering all the yin qi around the hundreds of miles here, and the ghosts follow the yin qi, and the yin qi near the boat is prosperous, and naturally it is indispensable to be sneaky.
The yin fog that Mu Yang and I saw was the crystallization of yin energy, and the swaying figures inside were ghosts watching Yang people sing according to Tie Laodao's words.
The uncle was a little puzzled when he heard this: "You said that the root cause of the accident was the river opera that was sung for a few days, but didn't this river opera be sung once hundreds of years ago?" It seems that it was sung for a hundred days, and I haven't heard of anything happening that time? ā
Tie Laodao looked at the uncle and smiled slightly: "Because the organizer of that time knows the rules of singing river opera, before the river opera officially begins, three sacrifices and three animals must be placed by the river, and paper and incense will be burned, and the Yin people will borrow the road." That's not all, after every twenty-four days of singing, the river opera has to be avoided by the yang people and sing a ghost show for the yin people. Back then, it was said that he sang a 100-day opera, but in fact, he only sang for 96 days for the living....."
After Tie Lao Dao said this, no one in the room refuted it.
Uncle wanted to say something more, but found that there was nothing to refute Tie Lao Dao, and before the uncle could say anything, I remembered one thing: "Dao Chief, you said that the rules of singing river opera have been lost, so how do you know?" ā
Tie Lao Dao didn't answer my question directly, but directly took out a worn thread-bound book from the burden behind him: "I knew you would ask, look at this!" ā
The book must be some years old, and the paper looks slightly yellowed. On the cover of the booklet, it is written in small Song script - 'Heavenly Master Taoism' four big characters.
Tie Lao Dao turned one of the pages and pointed to it: "See for yourselves! ā
Grandpa seemed to have read it, and handed the book directly to the uncle's hand.
Uncle looked at it for a while, sighed, and passed the book to my hand again, Mu Yang didn't see it at all, he turned his head sideways, and stared at the page that had been turned with me.
I thought that what was written in the book was a word that I couldn't understand, but I didn't expect it to be written in the vernacular, which is the first generation of the Heavenly Master Guan Guan to describe the scene of Prince Heshuo holding a 100-day drama back then, especially the scene of sacrificing ghosts and gods before and after the big play is described quite clearly, which is exactly the same as what Tie Lao Dao just said.
Seeing that I was almost the same, my grandfather looked at my uncle, and then at me: "You two are people who have seen the world in our old Zhang family, now let's discuss what to do!" ā
The uncle frowned, was silent for a long time before raising his head and said to his grandfather: "Dad, you know, I also believe in ghosts and gods, since the railway chief has spoken, then do what the chief said!" ā
Grandpa looked at me and Mu Yang again: "Mu... Director, don't blame my old man for believing in ghosts and gods, but you've seen these things, I hope you can understand it! ā
Mu Yang smiled and nodded: "To be honest, I also believe in this kind of thing, so just listen to the railway chief!" ā
Grandpa smiled at this time, and then looked at me again: "Little San, what about you?" ā
I thought for a moment and said, "Of course I don't have a problem. But there is one point, what we said here is very good, what are the other theater troupes willing to do? That's singing for ghosts, do they dare? ā
Tie Laodao smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, they came all the way to sing with us, why?" Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and people travel thousands of miles to make money! As long as they are given enough money, let alone ask them to sing to the ghosts, even if they are allowed to talk to the ghosts! ā
"You don't have to worry about arranging ghost shows, I'll talk to the boss of the theater troupe,"
After Tie Laodao finished speaking, he knocked on the cigarette gun in his hand.
Grandpa was still a little worried: "But the money ....."
"When is it time to die or money? I still care about money, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I am afraid that you will have no place to spend your money! ā
Without waiting for Grandpa to finish speaking, Tie Lao Dao interrupted him and said a little excitedly.
"Hey.... You can do it! ā
When the railroad priest said this, grandpa was speechless.
I sat on the sidelines, watching Tie Lao Dao take the initiative to ask for help to discuss with the boss of the troupe, that state was like picking up eight million, I was really a little inexplicable, what did it matter to him?
After the discussion, a few of us walked out of the house again, Tie Laodao took the opportunity to take a glass of wine, walked to the side of the troupe owner, and after a drink with him, he whispered in his ear for a while, and then pulled him into the house.
The two talked inside for about half an hour, although they didn't know how Tie Laodao talked to him, but when they came out of the back room, the boss of the troupe was full of red faces, patted Tie Laodao's shoulder, and twitched with joy, Tie Laodao naturally smiled.
