Chapter Twenty-Seven: Changing Faces
Zi Mo didn't eat enough at night, and when he saw that there were buns for sale, he bought two meat buns, and also bought two meat buns for Ruhua, and the two of them took them and ate them while walking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking all the way to the front, there are many meat skewers, sugar cakes and sugar gourds in my hands one after another.
In these years, there is no color saccharin, and everything eaten is pure natural and handmade, and it tastes original, healthy and safe.
Zi Mo ate happily, thinking that he would eat all over the street while he was in the wind today.
Zi Mo was eating happily, and suddenly saw many people in front of him gathered together, forming a circle, and bursts of cheers broke out from time to time in the circle, obviously there was a show to watch.
Zi Mo was immediately attracted, turned to Ruhua and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
Before the meat skewers in Ruhua's hand were finished, they were pulled by Zi Mo and ran into the crowd.
Zi Stranger is small, and he drilled into the gap of the crowd, and his body was flexible like a fish, scurrying around, and he squeezed her to the front.
There is really a performance in it, and the performance is still in the famous Sichuan opera in modern times - changing faces.
A middle-aged man wearing navy blue silk shoes, a black brocade robe, a red cloak on his shoulders, and a beaded hat stood in the center of the scene, performing a face-changing trick for everyone.
I saw that his face was still angry at the red face one moment, and the next moment his hand quickly swiped in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black solemn face that did not smile, and in the exclamation, I don't know when, it turned into a dignified and holy golden holy Buddha.
Everything only happens in a snap of a finger, and the change of face is as fast as a summer thunderstorm, coming as soon as it is said, leaving as soon as it is said, without warning.
"Good!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Zi Mo also applauded loudly.
Sichuan opera changing face is a treasure of traditional art in contemporary times, Zi Mo has only seen it on TV, because of curiosity, she also deliberately went to the library and the Internet to check a lot of information, and finally developed a strong interest in learning the four major Chinese dramas.
She hadn't had the opportunity to go to the scene in person to experience the charm of Sichuan Opera's face-changing skills in modern times, but she didn't expect that today she would watch a face-changing performance at close range for the first time in this strange dynasty.
The people on the field rotated several "faces", red to black, black to gold, gold to purple, purple to green...... After a round, he finally changed back to his original face.
It turned out to be a suave middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man bent over the crowd of onlookers, then left with a smile. Then he came up with a young man who was doing a fire-breathing show.
The crowd suddenly became lively again.
Zi Mo looked at the sky and ran along the circle of people to the place where the middle-aged man had left.
The man was unloading his equipment, taking off the flower hat on his head, and untying the cloak on his shoulders, and when he was about to take off his shoes, a female voice suddenly sounded behind him, which made him stop taking off his shoes.
"Uncle Changing Face!"
Zi Mo found him and shouted happily.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw a little girl with a raw face, smiled slightly, and said, "The girl has something to do with me?" ”
Behind him, a long cloth was pulled to create a small boxy space, which looked a bit like a modern and humble version of the fitting room.
Zi Mo nodded and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to say thank you to you, thank you for letting me watch a very wonderful face-changing performance." ”
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard this, probably because he didn't expect the little girl in front of him to come to him just to thank him.
"You're the first person to say thank you." The middle-aged man smiled, "So I want to say thank you too." Thank you for your love and thank you for your respect. ”
Zi Mo waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "That's why I said it's not a big deal, haha." Ah, by the way," Zi Mo walked over a bit, "Can I ask you a question?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "Girl, please speak." ”
"The face-changing technique you just performed was to wipe your face, not blow your face, right?"
The middle-aged man's face turned pale when he heard this, and his face, which was still smiling slightly, suddenly became serious.
"Why did the girl say that?" The middle-aged man asked.
"I've read some materials before, so I know a little bit about it."
"Materials?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said, "The girl will change her face?" ”
"No, I'm just interested in that." Zi Mo replied, "You haven't answered my question yet?" ”
The middle-aged man said: "The girl is right, the way I just changed my face is indeed to wipe my face." ”
Zi Mo smiled lightly when he heard this, thinking that he had guessed correctly.
"However, I can't blow up what the girl just said." The middle-aged man's eyes gradually deepened as he spoke, "I wonder where the girl knows?" ”
"Haven't you heard?" Zi Mo looked surprised, "Isn't this one of the three major ways to change your face?" Wipe your face, blow your face, pull your face, and change your face. Oh yes, I heard that there is also a kind of face change called luck, through the use of qigong to make the face change from red to white, from white to blue color change process, but I haven't seen this, I've only seen the other three face change performances. ”
Zi Mo said seriously, and didn't notice that the eyes of the middle-aged man opposite were gradually eager.
"Dare to ask where the girl watched the face-changing show?" The middle-aged man finally couldn't help but interrupt her and asked.
Zi Mo raised her head, only to find that the middle-aged man's eyes were staring at her brightly, if it weren't for the deep night here, she would have seen that the middle-aged man's face was already a little red from excitement.
Zi Mo was a little surprised by the middle-aged man's reaction, but he still replied to him: "I'm ...... electricity" Zi Mo closed his mouth suddenly, almost saying that he was about to say TV.
The middle-aged man was still waiting for her to answer.
"I ...... I've seen it elsewhere, and I don't remember exactly, it's a ...... An unknown little village, yes, a small village. Zi Mo made up a lie temporarily.
The middle-aged man's expression was still a little puzzled.
"Unknown hamlet?" He said.
"yes, that's the place anyway." Zi Mo said with a weak heart.
"Who are those girls, do you remember?" The middle-aged man asked again, as if he was concerned about the matter.
Zi Mo looked at him with some vigilance.
The middle-aged man saw Zi Mo's vigilance, realized that he was anxious, so he suppressed the eagerness and excitement in his heart, reached out and untied a piece of jade pendant from his waist, presented it to his hand, handed it over, and said, "It's me who is abrupt." Under the name of Shuchuan, the people of Shuzhong. ”
Zi Mo pointed to his hand and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Shu Chuan said: "Don't hide it from the girl, the Shu family was once famous in Shu for its face-changing skills, and the Shu family changed its face, and the Shu family gradually lost its face in the world." I am a child of the Shu family, and I have the responsibility of inheriting the secret skills of the Shu family. But for all kinds of reasons, the Shu family's face change was already a remnant skill when it came to me. As the girl just said, I have heard the elders in my family talk about it, but I have never learned it myself. This jade pendant is the thing of the head of my Shu family, and seeing this pendant is like seeing the head of the family. Today, I will give it to the girl. ”
