Chapter 141: Jiao'er
"It's okay, thank you!"
Shu Kang took the towel, wiped away the embarrassment on his face, and gratefully handed the towel back to the shopkeeper, at this time, she noticed for the first time that the shopkeeper smiled, his mouth was crooked, and it seemed that there was an evil spirit, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Excuse me, uncle, I'm going to see Hai Yantian, after coming in, I'm lost, can I ask for advice, how to go to find him?" Shukang seized the opportunity and asked for directions.
"You're looking for the Lord! No one has ever dared to call it by his name! The people who want to find him, batch after batch, have never been able to find it easily, tell you a secret......"
The shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice, and first looked around and looked around to make sure that no one noticed the two of them, and then he approached the book's ears and said in the lowest volume: "The lord has been uncertain lately, and if anyone who comes to see him does not like the gift, he will throw all the gifts into the bottom and let the sea leaf lizard eat them; If it agrees, it will agree to any request of this person, no matter how outrageous. Little girl, are you ready for a present? β
"I have! Thank you, Hai Xiaolou has already reminded me. Originally, we had already arrived at the door of the Lord, and I was brought in by him, but he and his two sisters went in first, and passed through a sticky tunnel, and had to pass many levels. Thankfully, the watchmaker's black duck showed me the way, and I came here, but I still couldn't find them, and I didn't know how to go to find the Lord βββof the Sea, could you show me the way?" β
Shu Kang touched his pocket, and he was naturally very confident in the gift he wanted to prepare.
"I'm just a fish seller, how can I have a chance to meet the lord! However, if you look there, there are a lot of people watching the play, there are a lot of people in that place, you go and inquire, the lord has been watching the play very much lately, maybe you can meet him! I heard that βββ he often makes private interviews, and no one knows what he really looks like. β
Boss Yu finished telling all his knowledge, thanked him in a hurry, and then walked to the small open-air theater where the climax of "human and animal sacrifice" was being staged.
At this time, in the center of the stage, new props were erected, on the track surface of a gear transmission belt structure more than one person high, the actor who was tied by his hands and feet was bent into an anti-bow shape along the track, and the "shaman" with a black and white face pattern had a few feathers on his head, and a sledgehammer in his hand, which was simulating starting from his feet, moving up inch by inch, and making the movement of the elongated actor body to be broken section by section, and the other two actors dressed as "vultures" were screaming, While flapping his huge wings, he walked back and forth in the surroundings, pecking at the pieces.
The audience stood up excitedly, and some people kept shouting with the rhythm of the percussion, as if they were eager for him to go into battle to hit the sledgehammer head, and the harmony sounded one after another, drowning out the painful moans from the "victims".
The background of a bel canto mezzo-soprano's wordless cappella came from behind the stage, and I didn't see who was singing, but this voice was full of sadness, melancholy and nostalgia, and there seemed to be a hope of "coming back from the dead". Her beautiful singing voice became louder and louder, gradually overshadowing all the noise, so that all the people on and off the stage stopped moving, as if controlled by a magic force, closed their eyes and listened attentively.
In the time when everyone closed their eyes and stared, no one noticed that everything on the stage was emptied, and a new curtain background was lowered, which was the top of the sea of mountains and clouds in the morning light, cleaned, and changed into a fairy dressed in pure white feather and a fairy dressed as an angel hand in hand, standing in the position of "mountain top", giving everyone a wonderful background, and the spotlights from the bottom to the top of the stage brightened the figures of the two with a layer of translucent golden aperture......
The singing gradually weakened, when everyone opened their eyes again, they were fascinated by the scene in front of them, and sighed, as the figures of the two actors gradually disappeared into the "top of the mountain" with the lifting stage, at the end of the play, all the audience clapped and applauded, and the applause did not stop, until all the cast and crew stood on the small stage together, and the collective curtain call, on and off the stage, were in the continuous applause and flowers, and the atmosphere was very warm!
The applause continued, and this scene was over, but the audience didn't seem to want to leave, and some insisted on sitting, looking forward to the next performance in the loop.
During the two breaks, the backstage was busy, all the processes had to be re-run, and some consumables had to be replenished, all of which had to be done at this time.
Shu Kang was very curious, so he went directly to the backstage, and the people inside were so busy that no one seemed to notice a stranger coming in.
The dressing table is the brightest place inside, and the mirror with the whole circle of lights shines the actor's face clearly.
"Pour a glass of water!" The actor who was sitting in the middle was removing his makeup and said without looking back.
Shukang looked left and right, but no one answered him, and next to the place she walked to, there was a water platform, so she took the cup, poured the water, approached the "corner", and handed it to him.
This "Jiao'er" uncle is the same, took the water cup, took a sip, and stretched it back, the meaning is very clear, let her continue to βββOkay, hold it, Shu Kang took back the water cup, and was ready to ask."
"You're looking for me, where's the gift?"
Unexpectedly, this "Jiaoer" actually asked her directly.
"Could it be? He's the 'sea weary'? Shu Kang looked confused, because in her imagination, the lord of the dignified should be a majestic, old, and unsmiling middle-aged man, this βββ too young and too beautiful! How can it be? But he asked me directly, how did I explain it? β
Shukang put the water glass in his palms, shook it, and replied, "The gift has been prepared, but it is not convenient to show it to you here, Lord Haiyu." β
"Hahaha! So where do we look, what is better? Master of the Wood Arts. β
"Jiao'er" stood up from the chair, turned around, and smiled at Shu Kang, behind his tall shoulders, a circle of light on the dressing table gave him another halo, under the backlight, Shu Kang suddenly felt that this too beautiful face had a very unreal feelingβββ not like the expression that humans should have, and it was floating on his face at the moment.
