Chapter 126: Transcending Falsehood and Attaining the True Pivot
Cai Lao's class mainly played the drum, but Chen Mu played the drum first, at this time, the beast was disturbed by the drum, and had fallen into a manic state, if it was stimulated by the drum again, I was afraid that it would go berserk!
Old Cai's intentions couldn't be clearer, since the lion dance is to drive away evil, then now, use the lion dance to drive away these beasts!
But if you really want to do it, it will be a very dangerous thing, because you are facing a living beast!
Chen Mu was hesitating in his heart, but he also knew very well that if he wanted to rely on swords or torches, he would not be able to drive away these fierce beasts, and what Old Leader Cai brought today was also a black lion, maybe he could really see miraculous results!
Thinking like this, Chen Mu gritted his teeth, waved the drum stick, and knocked it.
"Knock ......"
Chen Mu was also a little cautious and didn't dare to push too hard, but the black lion of Old Cai's class leader suddenly raised his head!
At this moment, this artificial lion head seemed to be injected into a soul, just a gesture of raising its head, as if it had come to life!
"Knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock ......"
Chen Mu's drum beat from weak to strong, from slow to fast, the black lion seemed to be awakened, shook his head, seemed to be very annoyed, and stepped forward, full of the majesty of the king of all beasts!
The black lion's gait is very heavy and slow, as if the old lion king in the twilight has been disturbed by someone to disturb his sleep, but it has inspired the murderous aura of its youth!
Lin Sheng and the others were already dumbfounded, it was François, who also opened his mouth wide, it was not that he had never seen this kind of folk art.
Like many foreigners, they are full of reverie and yearning for the mysterious oriental culture.
They have also seen many lion dance performances, but in their eyes, the formalization of lion dance performances is too serious, in their words, the street lion dance performances are soulless, they only have rigid and flow steps, and each lion moves similarly.
But they have never seen the lion of the old class master Cai, his soul seems to be injected into the lion, he shakes his head step by step, his eyes are half-closed and half-open, the charm is so strong that it gives people an extremely strange look, knowing that this is fake, but it is like the real one, with an indistinguishable demeanor!
Chen Mu's feelings were stronger than anyone in the field, because he was beating the drum, and the black lion was moving according to his drumbeat, he seemed to have become a part of this lion, and he could feel the soul of this lion most truly!
Knocking and knocking, he seemed to see an old lion king, because of his weak body and sleepiness, his territory was gradually encroached upon by other wild beasts, and when he woke up, he found that his territory was only a sleeping place.
But it is the lion king, as long as it does not die for a day, it is still the lion king, its territory is not just the place where it sleeps, but the place under its feet, as long as its feet run through, it is its territory!
With such a situation emerging in his heart, Chen Mu's drum beat was even more majestic, although the volume was not loud, but every time he struck, he was full of emotion!
The male lion and all kinds of fierce beasts retreated one after another, and at this moment, Chen Mu's drum beat became fanatical, and the black lion's movements became larger and larger, as if the lion king had regained his strength!
The black lion stepped forward, mouth wide open and eyes wide open, as if to roar silently at the lions and beasts to assert his sovereignty!
Chen Mu and Cai Lao Class Master were completely integrated into the black lion, they seemed to be one with the black lion, and the moment the black lion opened his mouth, Chen Mu and Cai Lao Class Master roared at the same time!
It was a peculiar voice, the voice of the old class leader Cai was low and majestic, as if the black lion was inviolable when he was old, and Chen Mu's voice was vibrant, like the fury of the black lion when he was young and strong!
The two voices were also full of emotion, and they roared out at the same time, as if the black lion had been resurrected!
Shock!
The audience was silent, and even those beasts were trembling with fear!
Immediately afterwards, the beasts, led by the male lion, began to flee frantically, and the animal tamers everywhere were also anxious, trying to pull these beasts by all means, but it was too late!
The frightened beast began to run back, crashing into the crowd on François's side, and the people he brought to see the excitement were knocked to the ground by the beast, trampled by the beast, torn and eaten by the beast, screams and wails abounded, and the picture he wanted to see here in Chen Mu was staged on his own body!
"Help! Help me! "Although François also knows swordsmanship and fighting, perhaps his ability to deal with wild beasts is better than that of Chen Mu and others.
But at this time, he was bitten by the lion on the calf, dragged and ran forward, his head and face rubbed on the ground, where could there be any way!
Their animal trainer had already told them before, these are tamed beasts, if the beast nature breaks out, when attacked by the beast, you must not resist, the more you resist, the more the beast nature of these beasts will become stronger and stronger!
François was dragged for a long time, his head and face were scratched, and his hands and feet were blurred with blood, and only then was he rescued by the animal trainer!
The beast trainers were also terrified, although they had a lot of experience, but there were too many beasts, and they crashed into the crowd, they couldn't subdue these beasts in time!
What's even worse is that the roars of Chen Mu and Cai Lao Class Master inspired the resonance of other people, and Lin Sheng and the others also roared behind them, and the sound was like thunder, and the beasts fled in terror!
Seeing the animal trainer chasing the beast, François being rescued, and the wounded and fallen to the ground were carried or carried to the consular hospital for treatment.
The banquet was also a mess, but everyone erupted in cheers and cheers like mountains and seas!
Although they don't know much, the lion dance is too popular in the Lingnan area, and even the lowest-level people have seen too many lion dance performances.
But they've never seen anything like it today, it's not a show at all, it's an art!
Chen Mu stopped beating the drum, and the drum surface was still trembling slightly, just like his hands, still trembling excitedly and unable to stop.
Old Cai put down the lion's head, he was soaked with sweat, his eyes were full of tears, he sat down on the ground, and finally cried.
The old man cried very frankly, and his body couldn't help shaking.
Chen Mu walked over, thinking that the old class leader Cai was afraid, he squatted aside and gently patted the old class master's shoulder.
was about to be comforted, but the old class master turned his head and cried at Chen Mu: "It's worth it, it's worth it......"
Lion dance for most of his life, can use lion dance to scare away beasts, such an opportunity, not every master can meet, not every master, has such courage, let alone any master, can do this!
As a lion dance master, completing this feat today, Master Cai, is really worth it!
Prussiatown and Baptiste also came out, and when they looked at the scene, they also exclaimed: "This is the real art, this is the real artist!" ”
Why didn't Chen Mu think so?
Whether it is a lion dance or other professions, if you have achieved the ultimate, then you are called a grandmaster!
Old Master Cai wiped away his tears, stood up, and said to Chen Mu: "Chen Shao, the old man can do all this, and you have half of the credit, to be honest, I came here today, all for the sake of Miss Song's face, and I didn't want to come over to drink this wine, but today, the old man wants to give you this lion!" ”
The lion of the old class leader Cai is his treasure, but he gave it to Chen Mu, which is the greatest respect for Chen Mu!
Even the first apprentice of the Qingtou Pavilion failed to get this lion, because this black lion is the first lion of the old class owner Cai, and he has accompanied the old class master Cai for most of his life, and has won almost all the competitions that can be won, and he is a veritable "lion king"!
People like Cai Lao have the spirit of craftsmanship, pursue the ultimate in their lives, and never slack off, but the higher they achieve, the more difficult it is to climb up.
Over the years, he has rarely danced lion dances again, partly because he has no desires, and on the other hand, he feels that it is difficult for him to break through.
But today, with the help of Chen Mu's drumbeat, he finally entered another realm!
Before today, others said that the lion dance he danced was like a living thing, but only he knew that a dead thing is a dead thing after all, and the lion dance is just a performance after all.
Before today, in the field of lion dance, he was the only one who could beat him, and he was still dissatisfied with himself.
To this day, he can finally convince himself that the lion he danced has really come to life, and he has really done something that no one else can do!
Maybe after today, he will really have no desires, and from now on, he will not dance the lion again, so he will give the lion head to Chen Mu.
Because of Chen Mu's drumbeat, and because Chen Mu was completely integrated into it, at the last moment, Chen Mu and him roared almost at the same time!
Chen Mu's lion dance skills may not even be comparable to the apprentices in the Qingtou Pavilion, but at the moment of Shicai, Chen Mu's understanding of lion dance is by no means weaker than any of his disciples!
Life is like this lion, fiddling with the lion dance master, some people choose to put on a gorgeous coat, shake their heads, and pretend, but there are also people, just like this lion, in the face of difficulties and dangers, reawaken their souls and show their own posture!
Chen Mu did not refuse, because he knew what this lion head meant, not how valuable this lion head was, but that he needed to remember the state of mind at that moment just now, in the days to come, in the face of hardships and hardships, he could also fight against fate!
Chen Mu was not pretentious, he generously accepted the lion's head, and said to the old class master Cai: "The banquet has been disturbed, if the old class master is not in a hurry, let's wait, I will let people clean up and have a drink!" ”
Old Cai's class leader laughed: "I'm a bad old man, the most is time, where will I be in a hurry, besides, I also have to change my clothes!" ”
Saying this, the old head of Cai's class instructed his little apprentice: "Go home, take my new clothes, and tell the family, if anyone asks, they will say that I have come to Chen's house for a banquet!" ”
The little apprentice was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he suddenly stood up: "Yes, Master!" ”
Seeing this, Chen Mu also helped Cai Lao Class Master up, and instructed Hebo and the others to clean up the banquet again, but at this time, Lin Sheng whispered to Chen Mu: "Let them add a few more tables......
Chen Mu was also puzzled, but Lin Sheng poked him and said: "You don't know how extensive this old Cai's class master is, whether it is the martial arts hall dart bureau or the officialdom, but all the lion dancers must be honored with a call Master Cai, he let out his words, saying that he wants to come to you to eat and drink, do you know what it means?" ”
Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart became happy.
