Chapter 120 Take a closer look
I waited patiently until five o'clock, checked my tickets, and entered the Grand Theater.
The theater is not small, and I deliberately bought a front row seat.
I'm not here to see a show, but to find Mr. Huang, so I'll have to see where their backstage is, so I can sneak in.
However, when I sat behind the theater, I found something odd.
Everyone around me was quiet, mostly focused on the stage.
It hasn't started yet, and the actors haven't been on stage yet, why are they all so quiet?
Even if the quality of the people who come to see the play is generally relatively high, there will always be a few people who talk to each other, but after I looked around and looked around, none of them spoke!
Their serious appearance is as if they have been hooked by someone!
I furrowed my brow and looked around the theater again, but I still didn't notice anything unusual.
In the end, I can only comfort myself, because I think too much, people who come to see Peking Opera are all literate and qualified, of course, it can't be as mixed as a movie theater, no one talks to each other, it should be normal.
Soon, with the sound of gongs and drums, the Peking Opera began.
"Home Road, there'sβ"
"Lead the way, yesβ"
Two long voices came out first, and then a row of flowery faces in black robes came out.
Finally, it was the leading actor Huang Tianyuan who came.
I don't know much about Peking Opera, but my uncle likes it very much, so I know a little about "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest".
It is mainly about the two daughters in the family of the waiter Cheng Pu, of which the eldest daughter is ugly and the second daughter is beautiful, but the ugly one was born in the main room, and the beautiful one was born in the side room, and the plot is about the bizarre love story of these two daughters.
Playing Cheng Pu is Huang Tianyuan, who has already taken the stage.
I don't care about the play he plays, what I care about is when the performance will be finished, so I can go to Huang Tianyuan to ask Wang Mingming's father about it.
However, to my surprise, I didn't feel any drowsiness when watching the play, on the contrary, I was very excited, and the plot in front of me seemed to attract me so much that I couldn't take my eyes off it at all!
What's going on?
Definitely quirky!
I don't know how long later, with a cheerful music, the drama also ended.
From beginning to end, my eyes have been on the stage, there seems to be a kind of magic on the stage, no, to be precise, there is a kind of magic on the starring Cheng Pu's Huang Tianyuan, which makes people unhappy.
It's the first time I've watched a Peking Opera without distraction!
If I hadn't reacted by now, I would have been a person in the metaphysical circle.
The reason why so many people came to watch it was not because Huang Tianyuan's Peking Opera performance was good, but because he used other means!
However, I haven't discovered what kind of means were used to make everyone attracted to his Peking Opera, and I didn't see anything abnormal in the entire theater.
After the end of this play, everyone around me was still unsatisfied, and I heard many people meet to see Huang Tianyuan's opera performance next time.
After everyone had left, I sneaked into the backstage while the theater's security was not paying attention.
At a glance, I saw Huang Tianyuan who was removing his makeup.
There are a lot of people in the background, so I haven't been noticed for the time being when an outsider comes in.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a pendant hanging around Huang Tianyuan's neck!
It is a white pendant.
I approached busily, Huang Tianyuan's white pendant had lines on it, it seemed to be a "fox" word!
I was stunned for a while, I probably knew why the audience was attracted to Huang Tianyuan.
"Who are you!" A sound of vicissitudes brought me back to my senses.
I saw Huang Tianyuan looking at me.
I just noticed that I had just walked abruptly in front of Huang Tianyuan because I was too curious about the jade pendant around his neck.
"You're not a backstage person, are you? How did you get in here? What about security! "Huang Tianyuan immediately saw my identity, and then called the security guard.
"Mr. Huang, I have something to do with you!" I spoke.
"Security!" Huang Tianyuan ignored me.
I didn't care, but said four words: "Fox fairy card." β
The makeup on Huang Tianyuan's face has not been removed yet, and I can't see his face, but there is a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Master Huang, is this kid? I'm really sorry, it was our dereliction of duty that let him slip in, and I immediately chased him away. β
At this time, the security guards came, and two security guards grabbed my arms and tried to kick me out of the background.
"Wait!" Huang Tianyuan raised his hand to stop the two security guards, and he said, "It's okay, let him stay here." β
The security guards were strangely confused, but they didn't dare to disobey Huang Tianyuan's words.
"You wait for me on the side first." Huang Tianyuan said to me again.
I breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and found a seat to sit down.
It didn't take long for Huang Tianyuan to finish removing his makeup and change his clothes.
At this moment, I really saw Huang Tianyuan's appearance.
He looks like he is in his fifties, he is full of energy, he does not look old at all, his facial features are very soft, and his whole face is very amiable.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Huang Tianyuan asked.
"Mr. Huang, you use the fox fairy brand to charm people's hearts, it's a bit out of order, right?"
I didn't rush to say what I meant, but first told what I had observed.
Huang Tianyuan is hanging around his neck is the fox fairy family card, just like the hydra fairy last time, the fox fairy is also one of the five great immortals, or rather, one of the five spirits.
I don't think these spirits are immortals.
The meaning of the family card is that people sign a contract with the five spirits, and the people worship the spirits, and the spirits help people achieve a certain purpose.
The fox fairy is good at charming, and the people who come to watch Peking Opera are all involuntarily attracted by the opera on the stage, precisely because of the fox fairy family card on Huang Tianyuan's neck.
Unexpectedly, this Huang Tianyuan turned out to be a disciple of the three eastern provinces.
To be honest, at this moment, Huang Tianyuan's impression in my heart is that it has taken a sharp turn, and having the fox fairy family card is equivalent to a deed of sale, treating the fox fairy as a father and a master, I look down on this kind of person a little.
And using this method to lure people to come and watch the play is no less than witchcraft!
"Young man, you have good eyesight, you know that this is the fox fairy's family card, and you can see that I used the fox fairy's bewitchment to lure others to watch the show, but I ask you, where am I not in order?"
I only heard Huang Tianyuan smile and said indifferently.
I was speechless for a while, I just didn't think it was good, and as for what was not in order, I really couldn't say why.
"I just want them to be more involved in opera, so that they can better promote the quintessence of the country, which is not unruly." Huang Tianyuan said again.
"But you're going against their intentions." I said.
"Where is it violated? Since I came to the theater to watch the play, it means that they are originally interested in Peking Opera, I just deepened their love for Peking Opera, and besides, I did not use this charm to trick other people who don't like Peking Opera to watch. Huang Tianyuan still said lightly.
Hearing Huang Tianyuan say this, I still have a feeling of being moved by him.
It seems that he has a point?
If magic is used to harm people, it is witchcraft, but what if it is used to promote the quintessence of the country? Can it still be called hexology?
"But as a disciple of the horse, you will sometimes be motivated by the fox fairy, and you can't guarantee that every charm is simply to make them listen to Peking Opera more attentively." What I said was more subtle, in front of the disciples who came out of the horse, they couldn't speak ill of their immortal family.
"You mean that the fox fairy may covet the essence of people and always guide me to do bad things?" Huang Tianyuan said bluntly.
I'm a little surprised, this Huang Tianyuan actually said bad things about the immortal family he worshipped?
Since he dared to say it, I was not afraid that he would be angry, so I nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant." β
"Your worries are unnecessary, little fairy family, it is their great honor to borrow a little bit of their ability, they dare to do evil?"
Who knows, Huang Tianyuan said these words that made my eyes widen.
"W-What do you mean?" I was so shocked that I couldn't make a coherent speech.
I saw Huang Tianyuan take the fox fairy family row off his neck, handed it to me, and said:
"Young man, why don't you take a closer look at this fox fairy card? See who is the lord and who is the servant, or which is the father and which is the son? β
