Demon Hunting Ghost Fifty-fourth Episode: On the Peony Pavilion
Let's say that on the fifteenth day of July, at the time of Halloween, the prefect's family living in Qingshui Town suffered.
Although the prefect had invited the troupe to sing a few big plays before, he rushed away the evil spirit. But what the prefect didn't know was that his daughter-in-law was born in a cloudy year, and this time Qingshui Town set up a stage to sing a play, attracting tens of millions of ghosts to watch, but there were a few little ghosts who were attracted by the woman born in this lunar year.
In this way, the prefect's daughter-in-law had dinner that night, but she suddenly felt unbearable pain in her stomach, and she couldn't bear it lying on the bed and tossing and turning. At this time, he was anxious to learn that the lord of the house hurriedly went to ask for a doctor, but he invited a lot of doctors to come over, but he couldn't diagnose what kind of illness the woman had.
Not to mention that a doctor could not diagnose the disease, the prefect invited three doctors in a row, but none of them could diagnose the woman's illness. At this moment, the prefect remembered what Feng Yanmeng said when he got married that day, when he was making trouble with the prefect's yamen.
Could it be that his house is really a place of resentment, and on the day when the ghost door was opened, he provoked unclean things?
Don't look at this prefect who is in a hurry at home, but there is no way, now that Daoist Long has been abolished by Feng Yanmeng, he has not been able to invite a reliable Taoist priest to come over.
However, in addition to the prefect, another Feng Yanmeng, who knew about it, although he was in Qingshui Town at this time, he was attracted to the theater because a little ghost told him about the lotus flower singing on stage, and completely forgot about the prefect's family.
When Feng Yanmeng heard the word "lotus", his expression was a little dazed, and his eyes, which were usually drunk, became clear. Feng Yanmeng, who never had any worries, seemed to be aroused by the word "lotus".
"No, no, no..."
Feng Yanmeng was stunned for a moment, but shook his head, as if he deliberately did not recall the past.
"No, no, it won't be her."
After denying his thoughts for the first time, Feng Yanmeng seemed to be a little thoughtful, returned to his usual appearance, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and turned around to leave.
"You, you, do you really like singing so much? I should have sent you to the theater troupe. ”
Xianggong laughed, in this world, where is the reason for a woman to pretend to be a woman? But if I go to a theater troupe and don't have a good stage name, I won't do it! ”
"Then..."
"How about calling you a lotus?"
However, the memories that he had finally lost in the past hundred years came to his heart, even if he himself denied it, but in his memory, there was really such a person, who was called "Lotus".
In this way, Feng Yanmeng's eyes can no longer hang the smell of wine, and such clear and sad eyes are something that Feng Yanmeng has not revealed for a long time.
"Scholar!"
Just when Feng Yanmeng fell into his memory, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Scholar! Tonight is so lively, how can I see you with sorrow on your face? ”
Feng Yan dreamed of hearing the prestige, but he saw an old man's soul calling him, with a smile on his face.
"It's nothing, it's just that it's been this lively in a long time."
Feng Yanmeng hurriedly hid his sad face and replied. He hasn't been back to the underworld for a few years, and he's been alone, but it's been a long time since he's been in such a lively place.
"Scholar, I heard that the lotus flowers are singing "Peony Pavilion" in Qingshui Town today, are you interested in listening to it?"
The old man invited Feng Yanmeng to listen to the play, although Feng Yanmeng also liked to listen to the play, but for some reason, he was resisting in his heart.
"No, I'm going to get some drinks!"
Feng Yanmeng waved his hand, pointed to the wine jug in his hand, and said that he was going to get some wine to drink.
"Scholar, I see that you are a bookish and angry, why are you so greedy for alcohol? Today's opportunity is not much, wouldn't it be wonderful to accompany me, an old man, to listen to a play and drink a cup of tea? ”
Feng Yanmeng hesitated, but was warmly invited by the old man, but for some reason agreed to go to the opera troupe to listen to the play together. Maybe he still has the intention of going to see it in his heart! If...
When he was about to arrive at the door of the troupe, Feng Yanmeng had some expectations in his heart, if this lotus was really the lotus in his heart...
"No, no, she has been dead for a hundred years, I'm afraid she has already been reincarnated!"
But whenever he thought of this, Feng Yanmeng couldn't help but deny his thoughts, all this was probably just a coincidence. This cycle of life and death, even if it is her soul after reincarnation, is no longer the person he knows.
Let's say that this Feng Yanmeng came to the door of the troupe because of the invitation of the old man, but he saw that there was a notice board hanging at the door of the troupe, which said that today's play was exactly what the old man said in the mouth of the "Peony Pavilion", and the horn of singing Du Liniang was a lotus.
Feng Yanmeng couldn't help but laugh at himself when he saw this billboard, all the actors in this singing drama were men, how could it be her?
The old man spent the money burned by his sons and daughters to buy tickets for two people, and entered the theater, but he saw that the theater was full of ghosts, and notices were posted everywhere with white and blue paper, and even some of the little ghosts had some small sugar water hanging on their bodies, and started a business in the theater.
And such a lively scene in the theater, in the eyes of the actors in the background, is empty, only the moonlight is bright and the wind is gusting.
At this time, "The Peony Pavilion" had not yet started, and Lotus pretended to be Du Liniang in the background, and Zili, who had cooperated with Lotus for more than ten years, played Du Liniang's father-in-law - Liu Mengmei.
Today, it is a special day for lotus, and it is even more special for Zili.
Today's lotus is different from the usual lotus, and Zili only took a look at this delicate Du Liniang in his early years, and buried the happiness of his life.
However, he knew that the lotus only belonged to him and to the Liu Mengmei he played when he was Du Liniang.
The hour is coming, the lotus has already put on a dress, and the rest of the actors who are playing see the wind outside, so it is not gloomy, and they joke in private, complaining about the bad luck at this time.
However, after the lotus flower played the play, she stopped talking. Others don't know, but Zili knows that the lotus is no longer a lotus at this time, but Du Liniang.
When she was about to play, the lotus flower, who had become Du Liniang, got up and went to the entrance door, but Zili, who played Liu Mengmei, secretly looked at Du Liniang, and the affection in her eyes seemed to be the real Liu Mengmei's eyes when she saw Du Liniang.
Others can't see the difference in today's lotus, but Zili can see the difference in the lotus, and the subtle differences in the body lines of the lotus can't escape Zili's eyes.
After all, this Du Liniang is the person who has haunted him for more than ten years, and the love of his life.
Not long after, Zili, who finished putting on makeup, became Liu Mengmei, and after taking the stage, the two really became Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei.
Today's weather is very good, the moon is as perfect as that day, Zili sang "Peony Pavilion" again with the lotus, but it was as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, he first discovered the beauty of the people in front of him, and was hooked by the people in front of him. Since then, there has been a piece missing in his heart, waiting for his Du Liniang to fill it.
He fantasized that he was Liu Mengmei, envied Liu Mengmei, and had Du Liniang loving him and accompanying him.
When he was Liu Mengmei, he had Du Liniang's love, and Du Liniang also accepted his love, the two were affectionate, and their husband and wife had a complete life.
However, as Zili and He Hua, both of them are alone, and Zili is waiting for his Du Liniang, but there is no Du Liniang in the world.
He Hua is looking for her Liu Mengmei, but there is no Liu Mengmei in this world.
The people in the play, the things in the play, are always full of happiness and the full moon is spent. However, the people in the world and the things in the world are never as good as the play.
More than ten years ago, Liu Mengmei recognized her Du Liniang, and her soul was hooked away. At that time, Du Liniang was already Du Liniang, but she was not Liu Mengmei.
Lotus's play is notoriously good, and Zili can't catch up with her play. But after that day, Zili's soul was on her, and he cried and bled every day, and he had to force himself to become Liu Mengmei to be worthy of Du Liniang.
However, he can't become Liu Mengmei, Liu Mengmei on the stage is not Liu Mengmei forever after all. stepped down and took off his makeup, but he was still him.
But Du Liniang will always be Du Liniang, although she took off her makeup and became a man, but his soul is still in Du Liniang's body and has never been able to get it back.
Every day, every night, he was still in pain and wept and bleed.
For ten years, Zili has been Liu Mengmei on the lotus stage, and no one can replace her.
However, in ten years, he has never been able to let his Du Liniang take a look at him and let her fill his vacant soul.
On the stage, Du Liniang's soul belongs to Liu Mengmei, and Du Liniang's love belongs to Liu Mengmei. But when she got off the stage, her soul was gone, and her love went with the wind.
Her soul will always belong to the one in her heart, the real Liu Mengmei, the person she really loves.
Zili knew that she had always been Du Liniang, and she returned just to continue her marriage. However, for so many years, her Liu Mengmei has never appeared, and her own Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang are affectionate and loving on the stage, but he saw the lotus crying in the audience.
Every time, every time she took off her makeup and took off Du Liniang's soul, she would cry. Zili knew the reason, Du Liniang in the play returned to her soul and found Liu Mengmei, but when she took off her makeup, her Liu Mengmei did not appear.
This is the last time they sing this play at this time, she finally gave up, but Zili still couldn't get her, her heart was dead, Zili was about to leave her, and she would never be found again.
However, Heaven just likes to tease the world.
When this play came out, Liu Mengmei found that Du Liniang's eyes had a charm other than Du Liniang, which was her own soul.
In the play, her eyes often looked at a certain position in the audience, but this small change in her eyes woke up Liu Mengmei, who was immersed in the play.
Looking down at her eyes, he couldn't see the spectators in the audience, but he knew that Du Liniang had finally found Liu Mengmei.
stepped down halfway, Du Liniang's eyes seemed to be bursting with tears, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
"Finally! I've finally found you, Menglang! ”
Lotus, who has always taken every play seriously, has the idea of giving up and continuing to sing, and wants to run out after arriving backstage.
"Lotus."
However, Zili's faint two words stopped Du Liniang.
Du Liniang turned her head and looked at Liu Mengmei's face, not knowing whether it was joy or sadness.
"You have always respected every play, just go to the Peony Pavilion after singing this play."
Liu Mengmei smiled at Du Liniang, but she dyed the entire backstage bitterly.
"Zili..."
The lotus flower spoke, and it was a woman's voice, which alarmed the entire backstage drama, but Zili was still very flat.
"Sure enough, He Hua is also a fake name."
Zili said a word, full of bitterness, but he endured it without shedding tears, and he still had to sing in the following scenes, and the makeup couldn't be spent.
"I..."
The joy of the lotus flower disappeared, and she was sorry for Zili, who had suffered from lovesickness all these years. After running to the underworld, he learned that he had not yet been reincarnated, so he began to look for him in the name of singing.
In order for him to recognize himself, every time he sings on Halloween, she will secretly turn back into her daughter, but she didn't expect to inadvertently drag Zili into Acacia Lake.
"Is he still offstage?"
Zili asked, as if he knew that the lotus flower could detect the things in the underworld under the stage.
"Hmm!"
Lotus nodded.
"Then let's finish this and go again! I'm old, I shouldn't be like this, I beg you, let me do a good job of Liu Mengmei. ”
Zili said that he only hopes that Lotus can be Du Liniang for him again.
At this time, the gongs and drums on the stage sounded, it was time for Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei to come to the stage, and Lotus no longer thought about leaving, and returned to the stage with her Liu Mengmei.
On "The Peony Pavilion", the two became husband and wife again.
"Zili, my real name is He Yu, you remember, when you get off the stage, forget it!"
