I don't have a deep study of opera, but a few years ago, there was a group in the town who sang Peking Opera, and when I listened to it for a while, I probably remembered the tone of Peking Opera.

It doesn't matter what the tune in this tick is, the key is the lyrics sung.

It turned out to be the scene of Xiao Jiu pacifying the Wenshui River that night.

At that time, there were many people in the villages near the scene who saw it, but it was only limited to ordinary people, they were all honest villagers, and it was impossible for them to have anything to do with these ghosts and evil spirits, and it was impossible to say that they could listen to them.

Moreover, it has just been half a month, if it weren't for the intention, it would be impossible to adapt the matter into lyrics and sing a big drama in such a short time.

The drunkard whispered to me: "Hehe, I can hear from your villagers, that night is the scene sung in the play, it seems that this scene is deliberately done by some people, maybe it is also for you." ”

I looked at him suspiciously.

"You can't make it, do you?"

The drunkard shook his head: "Hmph, how can I be in the company of these things." ”

He didn't defend himself much, and walked forward with a drink.

I also knew that the drunkard didn't care to lie, so I didn't suspect him anymore, and walked forward after him, while carefully examining the situation of the hook bar.

Hook bar, like a big market, but there is no normal person in this market.

At first glance, there are all kinds of people, tall, short, fat and thin, men and women, young and old, all dressed strangely, looking strange and terrifying, each one is different from ordinary people, if you walk around the street, it will definitely attract the attention of pedestrians.

There are also some more special, the whole body is wrapped under the wide robe, the feet and face are not visible, and there is no movement when walking, and the whole person seems to float.

On the stone platform in the center of the fence, a group of people dressed in gorgeous operas, their faces painted red, red, green and green, although they could not see their appearance, they sang exquisite lyrics as they walked.

Most people listen to the drama offstage, and some even move the Taishi chair, just like the enjoyment of listening to the play in the theater.

"Heh, there are a lot of people in this box today, and it seems that there are a lot of outsiders." The drunkard looked around.

I followed him into it, and suddenly the temperature dropped several degrees, and it felt a little cold.

"Let's go, let's listen to the drama too."

The drunkard walked over, and I could only follow it.

We stopped at the outermost part and watched the people singing on the stone platform.

Upon closer inspection, I found that these singers were dressed in opera robes, but there were no feet under them, just floating around on the stage, and there were no other big movements.

Ghost!

I thought of the ghost singing that the drunkard Qi said, it was really a ghost singing.

But their faces are so colorful that they can't see what they look like.

When an ordinary person sees a ghost, if he wants to say that he doesn't have the slightest excitement and fear, that's fake, I didn't call it out at the time, but my heart beat a lot faster under the excitement.

I glanced at the same person next to me.

On the left is a thin man with a pockmarked face, not tall, extremely ugly, with a pair of triangular eyes flashing with a fierce look, not a good stubble at first glance.

On the right is a man who wraps himself in a black robe, and I happen to be standing facing the moonlight, catching a glimpse of its face from the side.

It turned out to be a face full of yellow hair, and its eyes were shining green, and it didn't look like a person, but like a monster.

I unconsciously took two steps back, distanced myself from them, and whispered to the drunkard's ear, "Who are these people here?" ”

The drunkard didn't have a taboo, and replied directly with his throat: "Everyone has it, demons, ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all here, and many of them are new to this place." ”

I was taken aback, afraid that this would make us the target of public criticism.

But it seems that I am too worried, and no one is looking this way, and they are still doing their own thing.

At this time, there was a commotion in front, as if someone was arguing.

I tiptoed over, but I saw an acquaintance.

Mr. Liu!

The most famous corpse digger on the Wenshui River.

He was followed by two apprentices, talking to a few strange people, maybe stimulated by something, and his body was trembling, panting heavily.

The drunkard suddenly asked me: "Aren't you on a good relationship with this surnamed Liu, or I'll help you repay him a favor." ”

"Huh? This... No, you don't..."

He didn't listen to me at all, he walked up and opened his mouth to shout, "What's the matter? You bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, do you still want to bully people on other people's land? ”

This time, the eyes of the people around him all converged on the drunkard Qi.

One of them asked, "Who are you?" ”

He didn't care about the eyes of outsiders, took a sip of wine, walked up to Mr. Liu, and patted him on the shoulder, as if the two were old friends.

"A rotten drunkard." He laughed to himself.

At this time, Mr. Liu saw me, his expression suddenly became unnatural, he couldn't help but didn't talk to me, but Liu Qiang in the back didn't hold back.

subconsciously shouted: "Chen Ping'an, why did you come here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around them changed instantly.

The sound of the opera on the stone platform stopped abruptly, the whispering around me also stopped, the space seemed to freeze, and countless pairs of eyes looked at me, which immediately made me feel uncomfortable.

I stood still, under tremendous pressure, and didn't know what to do.

"Quack, quack!" A maniacal laugh came.

Then, a cloud of black gas came from nowhere, enveloping the surroundings, and nothing could be seen, only the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves.

"Chen Ping'an, run, don't go home, go to Wenshui River..."

I faintly heard Mr. Liu's voice.

"Master Qi! Master Qi! I yelled twice, but there was no response, and the drunkard didn't know where he went.

At this moment, something suddenly climbed on my back, clasped my neck tightly, and asked me to carry him on his back.

"Ahh

Fortunately, I was prepared, and I immediately threw it off, and then ran away.

I couldn't see anything in the darkness, I couldn't tell the direction, I could only run out from memory.

During this time, I was caught by things several times. Like a human hand, soft and warm; There are also paws that are cold as ice; And it was wet like something in the water.

Fortunately, I was thrown off in time and not controlled.

I don't know how long I ran, but I finally ran out of the darkness.

I didn't see the drunkard Qi and Mr. Liu, but where could I take care of them, I thought about what Mr. Liu said, and ran in the direction of the Wenshui River following the sound of the water.

Soon, the sound of singing came from behind him.

I wasn't in the mood to listen to what I was singing, so I glanced back and found that it was a group of actors singing on the stone stage, floating towards me.

These things are ghosts, I don't know what they're going to do, but it's definitely not a good thing.

I ran as hard as I could, and came to the Wenshui River, and they chased me to the river. One by one, they threw off their sleeves and put on a posture of singing a big opera, but there was black gas on their bodies, and they were not good at me.

Qi Drunkard and the others are not here, and no one can save me.

I calmed down, glanced at the Wenshui River behind me, and jumped straight down.

Actually, I'm also gambling, the river god in the Wenshui River also wants my life, and now I may be killing myself when I go into the water, but I have no other way.

What's more, Mr. Liu also told me like this, I don't think he will harm me.

I jumped into the Wenshui River, but those ghosts really didn't chase after me. He peeked out of the water, glanced at the shore, and hurried upstream.

The ghost trickster also followed me on the shore at first, but after following me for a while, I don't know what was going on, and then disappeared.

The water in the Wenshui River is very cold, but it is very calm, I have been in the water for so long, nothing happened, and I have not received special treatment from the river god, everything is normal.

I swam all the way back to the Wenshui River Bridge.

In the middle of the night, there was no one on the Wenshui River Bridge, and there were no lights in the nearby villages, so every family turned off the lights and rested.

I didn't go ashore, but went underwater.

When Xiao Jiu left, she once told me that she hid something for me under the Wenshui River, and she had been stared at by Qi drunkards a few days ago, and I didn't have a chance to get it, but now it was an opportunity.

After diving into the water, I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't find the square stone.

When I was about to reach the bottom of the water, there was a bright light, and I followed the light to find it, only to see that it was actually a snake.

A glowing snake on its body.

It's the first time I've seen it.

This snake is not big, the snake body can be the thickness of a thumb, the whole body is bright white, only the head is red, coiled together on a stone, if you don't look closely, you can't imagine that it will be a snake.

And the stone on which the snake was lying was a huge ashlar.

I know that this snake is unusual, and I don't dare to provoke it, but what Xiao Jiu left me is likely to be under this stone.

In hesitation, the little snake raised its head, seemed to look at me, and then bent itself under the stone.

Seeing this scene, I secretly cried out in my heart.

The thing was under the rock, but the snake got into it, and if I messed with it while I was taking it, it would be a problem.

Just as I was hesitating, the glowing snake came out again and swam straight at me.

I hurried back, but it chased after me, and it was then that I realized that there was something curled around its tail, and it seemed to have no ill will towards me.

"Could it be something left by Xiao Jiu?" I had doubts in my heart.

Immediately, I stopped and let the snake swim over.

It stopped in front of me, flicked its tail at me, and by the light of its body I saw that it was sending a roll of yellowed parchment.

Carefully take the parchment, lest it attack me.

An Ran took the thing in his hand, and the little snake spit out the snake letter, and swam to the side.

Eventually, it got wrapped around a stone that looked like a sword stuck in the water.

The serpent's body was wrapped around it, and it hung its head to settle down, and the light on its body disappeared.

Although I was curious, I couldn't see anything because there was no light, and there was no way to go over, and besides, I couldn't hold it back, and if I didn't go up to breathe, I was afraid that I would drown.

You can only go ashore for ventilation first.

I swam out of the water, and just after I could catch my breath, before I could stabilize myself, a dead man's face floated on the water and hit my face.

"Ahh Hey, Sun... Sun is blind..."

While screaming, he recognized a familiar face.
