Chapter 583: Royal Cinema!
"People die like lights go out, and the past is vain!" Concubine Zhen's emotion sounded behind Chang Ping and the three of them, Chang Ping pulled An An to continue walking, An An and Tianzhi Little Taoist looked back at Concubine Zhen at the door.
Concubine Zhen looked at the two of them and smiled sadly: "Thank you for telling me the truth!" Then he looked at the well: "I'm tired, it's time to rest!" At this moment, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and her body turned into starlight and rose to the sky.
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi looked at the sky and sighed: "If only all the tasks could be completed so easily!" ”
Chang Ping stepped out of the threshold and said with a smile: "Such a simple task will never be assigned to me, so you will die of this heart!" ”
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi muttered to himself: "It's your task and not mine, as long as you don't pull me, you will burn high incense!" The courtyard door was closed behind him, and at the moment the door was closed, a person wearing a court robe appeared in the courtyard, because it was too dark to see his face clearly, but he was not tall.
After Chang Ping finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the little Taoist priest of Tianzhi, huh? What does this guy do? took a flashlight and shone the little Taoist priest of Tianzhi, and the other party looked directly at the courtyard. Did something happen again? Turning around, he walked to the side of the little Taoist priest of Tianzhi, "What are you looking at?" "The flashlight shone into the courtyard.
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi replied: "Uncle Xiao, there are not only Concubine Zhen in the courtyard, but also other ghosts!" ”
Chang Ping shone a flashlight on the courtyard and asked suspiciously, "How can there be a ghost here?" Are you dazzled? ”
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi shook his head firmly and replied: "Absolutely not dazzling, you turn off the flashlight!" ”
"Click", the flashlight turned off, and it was pitch black in front of the two. "Huh", a blue-faced and fanged face suddenly appeared in front of the two.
"Lying grass!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
Tianzhi Little Daoist and Chang Ping gasped in fright and took two steps back, almost hitting An An's body.
"Bang", the courtyard door closed automatically, and the face of the green fangs disappeared.
"What's wrong?" An An glanced at Tianzhi Little Daoist and Chang Ping, and then looked at the closed courtyard door.
Tianzhi Little Daoist took out his sword and held it in his hand: "There are other ghosts in it, scare Dao Ye." Uncle Junior, we went in and collected it? ”
Chang Ping nodded: "Go, kill it!" "Grandma's, she actually scared the master, and she couldn't get out of this bad breath, and she was indignant in her heart.
"Bang", the little Taoist priest of Tianzhi kicked open the courtyard door, and first walked in with his sword. Chang Ping gave An An the flashlight and pulled out the gun from his back.
An An said to the oil-paper umbrella: "You guys come out too!" As he spoke, he opened the umbrella, and Xiaoqing and the white lady floated out of it.
The white lady looked at Chang Ping and asked, "Shangxian, is something wrong?" ”
Chang Ping looked ahead vigilantly: "There is a demon here, you pay attention to it, and protect An An!" ”
"Yes!" The White Lady and Xiaoqing replied in unison, and then stood beside An An on the left and right.
After the Zhenfei Well is the Qianlong Garden, the first thing you see is a pavilion, that is, Fuwang Pavilion, and there are all kinds of trees and flowers planted in front of Your Excellency Fuwang. In this dark night, the green plants looked at the approaching humans like various monsters.
An An used a flashlight to shine ahead, and when the light shone on the corner of Fuwang Pavilion, he found a man wearing a court robe and a drape

The "man" with long hair stood there.
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi shouted excitedly, "This is what I saw earlier!" After saying that, he raised his sword and chased after him.
Chang Ping followed, An An locked the person "person" who appeared with a flashlight, and "person" Chang Ping chased after him, turned around and got into the bushes.
The three people and two ghosts followed closely behind the "people", rushed out of the garden and ran into Gu Huaxuan, but they lost the "people" the most through a door.
The three of them rummaged through Gu Huaxuan and couldn't find it, and the white lady pointed to the door and guessed, "Could it be that you went out through the door?" "The door was indeed ajar at this point.
Chang Ping nodded: "It's possible, let's go, go out and have a look first!" ”
As soon as the three of them came out of the door, they heard the sound of the door opening, and they followed the sound and saw the "person" entering through a large gate on the left.
"Over there!" An An's flashlight shone at the gate, and the three people and two ghosts rushed over again. Pushing open the door and entering, there is another door, and on the left is a small two-story building.
Tianzhi Little Taoist looked at Chang Ping: "Where is Uncle Xiao going?" ”
Chang Ping hesitated for a moment and pointed to the two-story building: "Let's go, let's go here first!" An An and Tianzhi Little Daoist and two ghosts followed him to the second-story building, and through the small door on the left side of the second floor, a three-story hall appeared.
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi looked around and said to himself: "What kind of place is this?" How is it so similar to that theater garden? ”
Chang Ping looked at a plaque on the second floor and said, "It's not like, it's supposed to be!" Three big characters were written on the plaque: "Play the building". That's a small stage, and this is a real royal theater.
Chang Ping turned around and looked at the three-story pavilion behind him, and he didn't have to guess to know, this was Changyin Pavilion. Changyin Pavilion is located in the courtyard of the Ningshou Palace of the Forbidden City, which was built in 1776. This is a three-story stage, and the back of the stage is a theater building.
The entire building sits on a 1.20-metre-high platform. The building height is 20.71 meters. The total floor area of the three floors is 685.94 square meters. On the opposite side of it is a reading floor with five wide rooms with front and rear porches, which is the place where the emperor and his concubines watch the play. There are 13 corner rooms on the east and west sides, and the play floor of the same reading is the floor and the Changyin Pavilion communicate, forming a self-contained system pattern that the pavilion and the room are surrounded by each other. In this group of buildings, Changyin Pavilion is the main body.
In addition to the characteristics of the general stage, that is, square and open on three sides, the Changyin Pavilion Grand Stage has its own special structure. The building is divided into three floors, each with a stage surface. The top layer is called "Futai", the middle layer is called "Lutai", and the lower layer is called "Shoutai". Among the three floors, the first floor of Shoutai has the largest area, about 14 meters square; The performance area of the middle floor is less than one-third of that of Shoutai; The performance area on the upper level of Futai is even smaller, just a small area close to the front eaves. It's all up to the audience's line of sight.
Shoutai is the basic performance area with the largest usage rate; The rear part is divided into two floors, and the upper floor is called "fairy building". There are 4 wooden stairs from Shoutai to Xianlou, which are called "stacks". At both ends of the fairy tower, there is a stack respectively, which can lead to the middle floor of the platform. With the addition of the fairy building, the actual performance area has 4 floors. These 4 floors have upper and lower doors, and they all use maul fans to distinguish the front and back of the house. There are three patios on the ceiling of the sutodai, and there are rollers at the mouth of the well, which can be used for lifting and lowering the actors and masonry. There are 5 underground wells under the floor of Shoudai, which are basements, and there are winches in the room, which can also be used

Lifting actors, masonry.
This complex structure is closely related to the court drama with a large number of feudal superstitions. The "Ordinary Cases" of "Xiao Shao of the Zhao Dynasty" said: "There are gods, gods, immortals, Buddhas and people, and ghosts in the play, and their entry and exit should be divided into Futai, Lutai, Shoutai and Xianlou, patio, and ground well. "But in the actual performance, Futai and Lutai are not of much use. The gods, people, and ghosts are mainly performed on the Shoutai, while the patio and the ground well are only occasionally used as special entrances and exits for the actors and masonry. For example, in the performance of "Zhao Dynasty Xiaoshao", the 15th of the second book, the soul of Yang Jiye, who died in the Li Tombstone, entered heaven, and the actor had to stand on the big cloud board and rise to the patio.
In ancient China, theater watching was the main entertainment in the imperial palace. Every major festival, such as New Year's Day, Lichun, Shangyuan, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, Winter Solstice, Chinese New Year's Eve, and the birthday of the emperor and the empress, it is necessary to watch the drama in the palace. The large-scale Changyin Pavilion is specially used for major festivals, and most of the operas performed here are auspicious fairy operas of singing and dancing.
These materials went through Chang Ping's mind, and when he thought of the various songs he sang here, his legs and stomach began to cramp, and the songs he sang here were all fairy plays, and the ghosts couldn't beat them, did he want to beat the immortals?
"Let's go!" Chang Ping pulled An An and walked quickly to the door.
"Bang!" The small door that just came in closed automatically.
"Boom!" The sound of the big drum sounded on the stage, and when he heard the drum, Chang Ping chuckled in his heart and secretly shouted!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! The drumbeat became more and more urgent, like thousands of troops rushing to kill the battlefield, and like heavy rain falling from the sky, the more and more fierce it became.
All the instruments were played, and then two people came up from both sides of the stage, one carrying a wine gourd on crutches and the other holding a fan, and the two stepped on the stage to the beat of the drum, and went to the middle to bow to the sides, and then two more people came out.
One holds a fishbone and the other carries a sword at his waist.
Chang Ping looked at the people who walked on the stage and were about to cry, this singing "Eight Immortals Celebrating Birthday", none of them is easy to beat, and there are eight of them? Doesn't this want the life of the master?
The little Taoist priest of Tianzhi saw it with great taste, and glanced at Chang Ping: "Uncle Xiao, the drama of the Eight Immortals, they are all immortal characters, I didn't expect to see them in this Royal Theater!" ”
Chang Ping can't wait to kick him to death, he can't run anymore, and he is still in the mood to watch the show? How slow is this brain meridian turning, or is it the brain missing a string?
An An took Chang Ping's hand, at this time, there were already six people on the stage, and there were still two left, and it would be too late if he didn't run now!
The White Lady and Xiaoqing also retreated behind Chang Ping, they are just impostors, they have only practiced for a hundred years, and the two of them will definitely not be able to beat eight, although those eight are also impostors, but the starting point is high, and there are many skills.
Chang Ping pulled An An back quickly, and only stopped when he retreated to the wall, looking at the White Lady and Xiaoqing: "Can you climb over this wall?" ”
Both ghosts nodded at the same time.
Chang Ping let go of An An: "You three go immediately!" ”
At this time, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the eight immortals were all standing on the stage.
"Huatang's birthday banquet is open, and the leader is a talent!"
Chang Ping lifted An An and threw it at the wall, "Huh", a layer of blue light flashed......
