Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mysterious Rune Paper
Behind the stage, She Yi slowly handed the flute in her hand to An Yixue on the side.
"Childe, your kung fu of playing the dong flute is getting more and more powerful, how many small jasper ladies are beautiful, and today I have to stay awake for you all night."
An Yixue smiled politely.
"Miss An's ability to play Xiao is also good, why don't you play a song?"
She Yi had a smile on the corner of her mouth.
An Yixue also smiled slightly, but suddenly seemed to feel that something was wrong with these words, and thought about it again...... Thinking of the two words "", my face turned red......
She Yi saw An Yixue's face suddenly turning red, hesitated, and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Ahem......"
She Yi lowered her head silently, embarrassed.
An Yixue, whose face turned red, saw She Yi lower her head, and couldn't help but smile a little between her small mouths, the shyness disappeared, and she looked at She Yi with interest.
"Childe, you really want the slave family to blow the ...... for you"
An Yixue deliberately omitted the word "Xiao".
This is the backstage, more than a dozen steps away from the table, there are two little girls gluing black cloth to a huge wooden box, She Yi and An Yixue's conversation, naturally you can hear it, and by the way, look at the direction of She Yi and An Yixue with a smile. When I heard what An Yixue said...... The two little girls hurriedly lowered their heads, their faces flushed, and pretended not to hear anything.
"Ahem...... Serious point. What do you mean for me...... Blowing ......"
She Yi glared at An Yixue.
"Uh-huh...... All right...... Since Childe doesn't want it, then play it next time, in fact, the Liang Zhu played by the slave family is not much inferior to Childe. ”
An Yixue said proudly.
She Yi was speechless. He didn't say anything about this An Yixue. It's not a matter of a day or two for An Yixue to speak openly in front of him, and more serious things than this often happen.
However, slapsticks are slapsticks, jokes are jokes, between them, She Yi is the son, and An Yixue is a subordinate.
"What's going on outside?"
Put away the joke and asked seriously.
"Fortunately, there is a person on the other side of the Red Dust Inn, and they have basically arrived here. However, there is no trace of Lu Hao, a few eagle guards and Cai Bian. ”
An Yixue also replied seriously.
"Lu Hao and his Eagle Guard? It should come. Cai Bian may not have come, but a bad old man who is about to run out can do much. Pay attention to the discovery of Lu Hao, and report to me in time. ”
"Okay."
An Yixue prepares to leave the backstage.
"Wait a minute, stay safe."
She Yi summoned An Yixue and instructed.
"Well, thank you, Childe."
……
Outside the stage, the cheers continued to rise and wave, never stopping. She Yi's song Liang Zhu completely drove the emotions of all the audience.
"Jia Gongzi!"
"Jia Gongzi ......!"
"Jia Gongzi ......"
The audience's excited shouts seemed to be endless.
The thin monkey took the special loudspeaker and went on stage again.
"Quiet...... Be quiet! ”
The thin monkey roared in a loud voice.
The shouts of the audience gradually stopped, and the next show was about to begin.
The next program is a joint singing and dancing performance by several major green buildings in Luoyang City, with a total of two sessions. These dancing girls are carefully selected by the major Qinglou and belong to the top level.
Their performances here are completely free, and on the contrary, they have to give a generous gift to the opening of the Red Dust Inn. There's a reason why they're doing it. The performance held at the Red Dust Inn had a far-reaching impact, and there were a lot of people who came to watch it, and they performed on it to let more people know them.
These dancers danced on the stage, and the audience below rarely saw these upper-class dances, although they relaxed, they still watched very seriously.
When I watched it, I talked and commented on which girl was beautiful, which girl had a good figure, and which girl's dancing skills were amazing.
However, they are quite disappointed with the beautiful little girl Jasper who came here, they are not interested in beautiful women, the only thing they are interested in is She Yi.
In doing so, they withdrew their gaze and whispered to each other. The strange faces mixed in the crowd were about to take advantage of the audience's attention to the stage, but they did not expect these women and women to relax, so they hurriedly stayed still and pretended to watch the show on the stage seriously.
……
She Yu, who was on the roof of the Hongchen Inn, came back to her senses. He gently rubbed his eyes with his hands, and the corners of his mouth curled. She was very happy.
Her gaze withdrew from the stage and swept over the crowd, just when his gaze had just returned to the Red Dust Inn, he was startled, and several black shadows flashed, as if they had disappeared into the Red Dust Inn.
"Where to run!"
She Yu was taken aback.
She stood here just to observe the changes around her, cooperate with her brother She Yi's performance, be half a bait, digging a pit and pit people, but she suddenly lost her mind just now.
She leaped forward, turned into a streamer and flew down from the roof, chasing after the dark shadows.
……
"My lord, it's been led away."
"Well, get ready to act!"
At the moment when She Yu disappeared, on the north shore of Xintan Lake, a small boat swayed into the lake, and there was a person standing on the bow, this person was Lu Hao.
This time, except for Lu Hao, there was no one else on the boat.
The boat was operated by itself, and Lu Hao on the boat had a long sword hanging from his waist with a solemn expression, and the boat drove until it reached the middle of the lake and stopped automatically.
The night was very thick, and there was not a little light in the sky except for the stars, so Lu Hao's boat was parked in the lake, and the people on the shore could barely see him.
He took out a delicate wooden box from his waist pocket and opened it carefully, and the inside of the wooden box glowed with golden light.
Under the golden light, it can be seen that inside the wooden box is a rune paper, and the characters on this rune paper seem to be suspended above the rune paper, lifelike.
Lu Hao did not directly reach out to take this rune paper, but took out a piece of brightly colored silk satin from his arms, put the silk satin in it, covered the rune paper inside, and then put his hand in it, and took out the rune paper through the silk satin.
After the rune paper was taken out, his hand slowly loosened, and the silk satin wrapped in the rune paper fell from the rune paper, and Lu Hao did not go behind to pick up the silk satin, and the silk satin fluttered into the lake.
The rune paper that emitted golden light was quietly suspended in mid-air, and Lu Hao put his palms together and muttered silently in his mouth.
He was not chanting mantras, but more like sacrificial prayers. He was so motionless for half a pillar of incense for a long time.
As he read it, the rune paper remained suspended in mid-air and did not move. However, the golden light that emanated was getting weaker and weaker. In the end, it disappeared completely.
There were a few yin winds blowing in the air inexplicably, and these yin winds blew on Lu Hao's body, and Lu Hao's robe was blown up, and there was a hunting sound.
The rune paper suspended in the air was still motionless, and when the wind blew through the rune paper, it seemed to be strongly attracted. Under this attraction, the yin wind swirled around the rune paper, forming a small vortex around the rune paper.
Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, two cold rays shot out of his eyes, he pulled out half of the saber from his waist, stretched out his middle finger, and cut it gently. The finger was cut. A drop of crimson blood bubbled out. Lu Hao raised his fingers, put them on the top of the levitation, and with a flick of it, the drop of blood that came out fell on the rune paper.
With a "hum", the yin wind stopped spinning, and Lu Hao's blood seeped into the rune paper, and the surface of the rune paper gradually changed.
The characters on it seem to be on fire, and when viewed from afar, they look like a beating black flame.
Lu Hao withdrew his arm, and a ray of true qi surrounded his hand, and the wound healed at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
The flames on the rune paper burned more and more, and there was a mysterious power faintly in the air, and these forces gathered on the rune paper.
Lu Hao's eyes didn't move...... Watch as these forces gather.
When these forces were about to converge into a small black ball that could be seen with the naked eye, Lu Hao stretched out his finger and touched it gently, the black ball.
With a click, the small black ball shattered, and circles of ripple-like energy spread out in all directions......
……
On the stage on the shore.
After the dance programs of several major green buildings were performed, the audience gave some applause piecemeal.
The thin monkey took the stage again, and this time he held the loudspeaker and did not shout quietly at the top of his voice, because there was very little applause, and he didn't need to roar, and it quickly disappeared.
He came up this time to report the curtain.
He announced the curtain very simply, holding a wooden board on which the name of the next show was written. He didn't speak, but walked to the middle of the stage, where the "staff" holding the lantern gathered the lantern in front of his plank, and the people below the stage could see the words on the board.
Only the name of the show and the performers are written on the board.
This approach is not like the hosts of later generations, who come with a lot of exaggerated adjectives, and blow the show into the sky before the show starts.
Whether the show is good or bad, free viewers to comment.
The audience below the stage could already see the name of the show written on the wooden board held by the thin monkey from a distance.
On the board there are only two large characters - magic - and a line of small characters written underneath the big characters - the performer......
The audience's eyes first fell on the big characters, and when they saw the word magic, they let out a burst of sighs.
"Magic?"
"What is magic?"
"What's magic......"
"Why haven't you heard of this kind of show?"
"Hey, why don't you have a performer's name?"
Some of them saw the small characters below the two big characters of the magic trick, and behind the performers written in the small letters, it was blank.
"Monkey shopkeeper, who performed the show!"
Several audience members close to the stage couldn't help but shout.
The thin monkey didn't answer, he smiled, stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture in the direction of the backstage of the stage, and at this moment, two little girls dressed handsomely and wearing a tight-fitting narrow-sleeved black dress walked out from inside carrying a huge box.
"Huh...... Is it these two little girls performing? ”
When the thin monkey saw the two little girls come out, he took the plank and got off the stage.
There was another sigh under the stage, and some people muttered in their hearts, it turned out to be two little girls who were not famous, no wonder they didn't write their names.
After the two little girls put the big boxes away, they did not greet the audience, but walked towards the entrance and exit of the stage backstage, and when they walked about seven or eight steps away from the entrance and exit, they stopped, stood on both sides, one left and one right, and both of them bent down at the same time to make an inviting gesture towards the stage.
"Hey, these two little girls aren't performers, so who could they be?"
Among them, some viewers wondered.
"Shhhh
The audience under the stage stopped talking, staring motionless at the inner stage exit of the stage, waiting to see who the person performing this magic trick was, it was none other than An Yixue, the housekeeper of Xiaoyao Villa under Jia Yi. I think that at the beginning, this An Yixue was the first Oiran in Luoyang City.
In the Oiran competition of the Lantern Festival that year, all the four beauties of Bianjing came to Luoyang City, including Master Li. In the end, let this An Yixue pick up the Oiran alone, although this is Jia Yi's song that played a huge role, but it is undeniable that An Yixue has some skills. There are also some means.
The big housekeeper of Xiaoyao Villa, this is how many people envy the work of flowing into a river.
Quietly underneath the stage...... The unfamiliar faces of the men who were just about to move stood honestly in place, not moving, pretending to be the same as the rest of the audience.
Inside the stage, She Yi picked up a black robe from the table and put it on his body. The next performer of the magic show is naturally him.
He put on his robe, the door behind him creaked open, and An Yixue walked in.
"Childe, I have found out."
"Well, what did you find?"
She Yi asked.
"The four eagle guards were found. They fled in the direction of Xintan Bridge northwest of the hotel, and Miss Xiaoyu went to chase them. ”
An Yixue replied.
"Let Xiaoyu come back here, no need to chase. The fish will automatically take the bait. ”
She Yi said lightly.
"Well, okay. I'll let Miss Xiaoyu know. Childe, this is the position of those who are mixed in below. Based on observations, it should be accurate. ”
An Yixue handed a drawing to She Yi.
She Yi picked up the drawings, glanced at them approximately, and handed them to An Yixue.
"It's enough to have a rough impression of this, and I'll have my own way to confirm it later. Be cautious, and don't startle the snake. ”
She Yi smiled slightly.
"Hmm."
An Yixue responded.
……
Under the stage, some of the audience were already waiting a little anxiously and a little restless.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
"What's going on?"
At this moment, the front and back stage entrances and exits of the stage were removed, and the curtains were lifted. A man in a black robe stepped out of it......
It was none other than She Yi who came out.
Under the slightly restless stage, there was a sudden silence. Nearly everyone's eyes widened...... The two little girls waiting at the exit stood up straight, stretched out their hands, She Yi nodded elegantly, put their hands on the hands of the two girls, and walked to the stage. (To be continued.) )
