Chapter 299: The Legend of the White Snake

The moment the music sounded, Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting on the chair in front of the stage and discussing with Li Si and the others just now, immediately sat upright, staring at the stage with unblinking eyes, and Li Si and the others also had the same expression.

As the curtain on the stage opened, the three big characters of the White Snake were revealed, and then quickly rolled up to the stage to be revealed, but the stage was empty and there was nothing.

But just when Qin Shi Huang and the others were full of expectations but were a little inexplicable, there was a sudden bang, and I saw a ball of fire explode in the center of the stage, and suddenly cyan smoke billowed up.

"Bang~Bang~"

The change in movement on the stage was too sudden, everyone was waiting for the development of the plot intently, this explosion carrying sound and light fog fell in their ears, and suddenly almost everyone's souls were bluffed out like the sky and the earth were cracking, Meng Yi, Jiang Heng, and Li Si almost knocked over the chair and sat on the ground at the same time, and Qin Shihuang's body trembled violently and almost fell, but then he was quickly supported by Wang Ben, who was sitting next to him, and Zhao Gao was even more unbearable, directly frightened to the ground, covered his head with his big sleeves, and called for help.

And this change also scared the dozens of Xuanwu guards in the theater almost to the point of urine, and the seriousness and coldness just now were almost thrown out of the clouds, and only after a few seconds of the explosion did someone come back to their senses, and they all drew their big swords and rushed to the stage.

At this time, as several white scene curtains on the stage were pulled up by the helpers hidden on both sides and instigated vigorously, suddenly the stage was filled with smoke as if clouds were rolling, and then two white snakes and green snakes several feet long swam out of the smoke.

"Who is the demon, dare to disturb Your Majesty, and suffer death!" Seven or eight guards rushed onto the stage with pale faces and large swords in hand.

"Ahh Spare your life~~" The helper who was hiding in the props of the two big snakes like a lion dance suddenly fell to the ground with a frightened pop.

"Don't~" Hu Kuan and several helpers were all pale with fright, and couldn't help but call out in unison.

Nima drops a gourd scoop!

Chen Xu, who was standing in the corner of the curtain on the stage, was in command, his face was dark, and he didn't know what to do.

"Stop~" Just when a few snake dancers were about to die under the Xuanwu Guard's sword, suddenly an angry shout came from under the stage, and I saw Qin Shi Huang's face slightly pale and tidying up his crown and clothes, and he sat down again and said, "This is acting, why make such a fuss, and retreat with me!" ”

"Huh~" Dozens of frightened guards all retreated from Qin Shihuang, Li Si and the others, and several guards who jumped on the stage also turned around and jumped down.

Chen Xu touched the sweat on his forehead and came out of the back of the stage, walked to Qin Shihuang's side and said with a wry smile: "Please forgive me for disturbing Your Majesty, this Legend of the White Snake is a mythological drama, in order to look good, I used the Divine Thunder Fireworks, that movement is really a bit big, or ...... Your Majesty, shall we not look at it? ”

"Chen Xu, you...... You must have deliberately frightened Your Majesty, and you deserve to be a capital offense! At this time, Zhao Gao, who had just gotten up from the ground tremblingly, pointed at Chen Xu with a dirty face and scolded angrily.

"Tai Servant Hugh wants to exaggerate, Chen Xu has already reminded me, but this divine thunder fireworks is indeed too big, I almost lost my mind, now it is okay, I ordered to continue the performance!"

"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness!" Chen Xu gave up his hand and continued to go backstage to direct the performance, and at the same time, he hated Zhao Gao a little in his heart.

For the sake of his own safety and for the sake of Daqin's future, this bastard must find an opportunity to die in advance.

But this goods generally either go in and out with the emperor or follow a large number of guards, and it is not easy to get killed.

Chen Xu gritted his teeth and returned to the stage, and soon the performance restarted.

The Legend of the White Snake only rehearsed the story of the first scene of the rain tour to the West Lake to borrow an umbrella to avoid the rain, but because it began to involve some changes and spells of the White Snake and the Green Snake, it used several fireworks, and every time the fireworks erupted or exploded, the people who watched Qin Shihuang and Li Sizhao and others couldn't help but tremble, but after a few times, they slowly got used to it and began to immerse themselves in the performance.

With the passage of time, the curtain fell and rewinded, and the scenery and props on the stage were also changed and changed, in the beautiful musical accompaniment and lyrics, the story of the White Snake changed scene by scene like light and shadow on the stage, accompanied by the changes in the spells cast by the green and white snakes, and sometimes there would be smoke and fire.

In this bizarre and fantasy story performance, time passed negligently, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and this rain tour to the West Lake was also performed to the end.

A bottomless canopy wooden boat cruised out in the rolling curtain waves, driven by two helpers hidden in it, two women in fluttering skirts stood at the bow of the boat, one green and one white, holding paper umbrellas and looking into the distance, the stern of the boat shook the oar while speaking to the music: "Ah~~, ah~~, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the sky in March, the spring rain is like wine, and the willows are like smoke~"

"There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but it is difficult to hold hands on the other side without a chance~"

"Ten years of repairing the same boat, and a hundred years of repairing sleeping together~"

……

This song can be called the soul of this drama, whether from the lyrics or the music, it can be called the finishing touch in the legend of the costume drama New White Lady, many people may not remember the content of the TV series, but this song must be as fresh as embedded in the soul.

Chen Xu is the same, so he didn't make the slightest change to this song, and the original version was moved from beginning to end more than 2,000 years ago.

Therefore, when the music and this song sounded, Qin Shi Huang, who was already fascinated, was even more moved, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes revealed a tenderness and affection that he had never felt before, and looked directly at the two women on the stage, and his face shook slightly.

And Li Si and the others didn't know that there was a story about the legend of the White Snake, although they were not as excited as Qin Shi Huang, but they were all deeply involved in this novel story, plus fireworks and smoke, which were magical and terrifying things that had never been seen before, all of them grew up and their mouths involuntarily twitched a few times from time to time.

After a song, the smoke rose into the air, and as the curtain slowly closed, the first scene of the White Snake Legend came to an end, and in everyone's ears, there was a faint singing voice floating from afar.

"If there is a thousand years of creation, the white head is concentric in front of you, lala, la......"

After a long time, maybe ten minutes, or twenty minutes, Chen Xu couldn't hold it back and coughed slightly, Qin Shihuang and Li Si and others sitting in the theater came back to their senses one by one from the infinite silence and sluggishness, and the dozens of Xuanwu guards guarding around them also woke up, but in an instant, they all turned pale and sweat rolled down their foreheads.

If the theater intended to do something wrong to the emperor during the performance just now, it is estimated that the emperor they have to protect with their lives at all times has already hung up.

But fortunately, nothing happened.

Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xu again, their faces were all solemn, this unbelievable performance had made it impossible for everyone to underestimate the young man in front of them.

This is a mysterious teenager, it seems that this kind of song and dance can only be choreographed by the legendary immortal disciples, and it is completely different from Daqin, this era, and all the songs and dances that have been heard and seen.

"Wonderful, really wonderful! I've seen this song and dance today, and I'm afraid I won't be interested in watching any song and dance in the future! After another half minute of silence, Qin Shi Huang suddenly stood up and laughed.

"yes, yes, it's exquisite!" Li Si and Zhao Gao also stood up, and the expressions on their faces slowly recovered.

"I don't know what the divine thunder fireworks that exploded in the song and dance just now and emitted thick smoke are all about?" Qin Shi Huang looked at the stage that had closed the curtain, and asked curiously with an aftertaste on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Divine Thunder Fireworks are simplified from the Taiyi Divine Thunder, and they do not have the power of the Divine Thunder, but they are just in vain!" Chen Xu explained with a smile.

"What is Taiyi Divine Thunder?" When Qin Shi Huang asked, Li Si, Wang Ben and the others all pricked up their ears and sounded.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder is a divine thunder spell passed down by Taiyi Immortal Venerable, once released, a radius of dozens of zhang can be razed to the ground in an instant, the thing is powder, the man is meat sauce, no one can survive!"

As soon as Chen Xu's words came out, all of the bigwigs who were in charge of the lifeblood of the Great Qin country were all as pale as earth, and when they retreated in panic, the chairs crackled and kicked over several times.

"Taiyi Immortal Venerable!?" Qin Shi Huang instantly captured the key point he needed, suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Xu excitedly and asked, "...... you Are you a disciple of Taiyi Immortal Venerable? ”

Chen Xu shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, if the law is not passed on to the six ears, I can't talk about this matter!" If Your Majesty wants to know, please stay away for the time being! ”

Qin Shi Huang pondered for a while and said, "Everyone quits the theater, and no one is allowed to enter!" ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Zhao Gao, Li Si and others hurriedly dissuaded.

"Retreat~" Although Qin Shi Huang's face was as usual, his voice was three points colder, and a group of ministers and dozens of Xuanwu guards had no choice but to bow and withdraw from the theater, and soon only Qin Shi Huang and Chen Xu were left under the tent.

This situation was unprecedented for Qin Shi Huang.

As an emperor, he had never met a stranger so closely.

And since the experience of Jing Ke, whether it is traveling or traveling on weekdays, he is not a person who believes in it very much, even if it is his own guard, he is at least three feet away.

But today, he gave up his identity, abandoned his own safety, and was willing to take such a big risk just to get an answer, so when everyone retreated, his eyes became very eager.

The identity of Chen Xuxian's disciple also fascinated him for a long time.

Because from the moment he met at the entrance of the theater, he concluded that the young man in front of him was the person he had been looking forward to seeing for a long time.

is no different from the news that Zhao Qing and Wang Jian inquired about before, Chen Xu's every move is different from ordinary people, his words and deeds are extremely strange, although he is young, his behavior is neither humble nor arrogant, and he can accurately identify himself and all the ministers accompanying him when they meet.

If it was an ordinary person, Qin Shi Huang might have carefully speculated on the reason, but Chen Xu was different, since he began to know this young man, his identity had been shrouded in a layer of immortal disciple light, he couldn't see clearly, couldn't guess, this preconceived concept made Qin Shi Huang naturally ignore too many other details.
