Chapter 036: The Ancient Strings of the Pipa Are Broken

This life can't understand why a stage can attract so many people to watch.

Could it be that no one here has seen much of the play?

Then you don't even need a stall!

Following this group of people, Shisheng finally saw the stage of the four seas.

This stage is not big or small, but it is very gorgeously decorated.

The people surrounded the place, and there were many people in official uniforms.

If this stage wasn't set high enough, with the size of the world, it might not be able to be seen.

"Hey brother, this is about to start?" Shisheng asked a young man with an eager face next to him.

The young man glanced at Shisheng, "Yes, it's been three years, and the stage of the Four Seas is finally going to start again!" ”

"That, brother, I'm not a local, so I'm a little curious, why are you so interested in this big stage of the four seas?"

"Look at it, I know you're not a local!" The young man put on a look of knowing everything, "You don't know," this big stage of the four seas has saved our lives!" ”

"Really?" Shisheng was shocked, thinking that this big stage still has this ability, so he continued to ask, "Brother, can you tell me what's going on?" I'm curious, little brother! ”

"Well, it's still a long time before the show starts, so I'll tell you this story!"

Sihai County was not originally called this name, but called Sifeng County, which has the meaning of four seasons of harvest.

But more than 100 years ago, Sifeng County was suddenly hit by a severe drought and had no harvest for three consecutive years, which could be very bad for the local people.

People sacrificed to the sky, the river, and the dragon king of the four seas, but they couldn't ask for a drop of rain.

Just when the people of Sifeng County were desperate and wanted to move out of Sifeng County, a middle-aged man came to Sifeng County and found the local government.

According to the county annals, the middle-aged man had long white hair, blue eyes, a rattle in his hand, and a bamboo basket with a deer antler in his back.

The middle-aged man told the county order that if he wanted to ask for rain, he had to change the name of Sifeng County first.

The county magistrate naturally saw that this was a high-ranking person, so he hurriedly asked for advice.

"Sifeng, homophonic four winds, there are four winds converging in, mixed and chaotic, inappropriate!"

"Since there is a shortage of water here, it is better to call it Sishui County. But there is already Surabaya, and the name cannot be renamed. ”

"Then let's call it Sihai County!"

The county magistrate listened to the man's words and submitted an excerpt to the top, applying to change the name of Sifeng County to Sihai County.

When the imperial court learned of the severe drought in Sifeng County for many years, it agreed to change the name.

"It's not enough to just change the name!" The middle-aged man said again, "I changed my name, and I have a water basin, but there is no water source, almost, almost!" ”

As soon as the county order heard it, he understood that the middle-aged man had something to say, so he continued to ask the middle-aged man for advice.

The middle-aged man pinched his fingers and said, "In seven days, the thirteenth prince of the Dragon Palace will pass by over Sihai County." It is rumored that the thirteenth prince likes to listen to operas, so well, you set up a big stage, and after seven days, you can sing two voices, maybe you can invite the thirteenth prince down, and then there will be a water source! ”

After listening to the county order, he hurriedly summoned the people to build a stage.

The people were already hungry and had no strength, but as soon as they heard that it would rain in this way, they suddenly gained strength.

Hundreds of people participated in the construction of the Four Seas Grand Stage, which was completed in only four days.

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly disappeared.

Three days after the stage was set up, the county order found the best troupe in the county and sang for a few hours.

didn't expect that this singing would really sing the thirteenth prince!

At that time, people were watching the play, and suddenly heard a dragon chant in the sky.

Looking up, I saw a dragon covered in green scales and more than 100 feet long flew down from the sky and landed on the stage hovering.

The county commander and the people all knelt down and bowed.

"I feel your heart, and it will rain soon!"

After the thirteenth prince left a word, he rose to his feet and disappeared into the sky.

Sure enough, three days later, seven days of heavy rain fell in Sihai County, making up for the missing rain in the past three years.

Since then, Sihai County has held a big drama every three years, which can be regarded as expressing gratitude to the Thirteenth Prince.

The locals also built a dragon king temple on the mountain in the east, although it was the thirteen princes who rained, but people worshipped his father, the dragon king of the East China Sea.

But it's all indifferent, could it be that when the incense arrives at the old dragon king, can he still give his son a little bit?

After listening to the story told by this young man, Shisheng felt very strange.

"This Sihai County is only a few hundred miles away from Yangguan County, why is there a big drought here, but Yangguan County does not? Could it be that I haven't heard of it? It shouldn't be! ”

Shisheng only took the words of the young man as a story, and did not take it too seriously.

"Didn't you give a notice in advance when the show started?" Shisheng asked.

According to what the young man said, it is a very important thing to start a drama in Sihai County, and the government should issue a notice.

But judging from the reactions of these people, it seems that this is not the case.

"Brother Tai didn't know, the notice of the government was indeed issued, but the notice was only posted at the entrance of the county government, and those who lived far away didn't know the news at all. So before the play starts, the government will find someone to beat the gong and shout through the streets! ”

Shisheng nodded, "Your county government is good enough." ”

"Oh, yes, brother, Takami!" The young man couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Where, where!"

Suddenly, the afterglow of the world was left behind a strangely dressed person.

The man was dressed in a white robe, and his hands and feet were wrapped in the robe.

A large white hat was attached to the robe, covering the man's head in it.

"This kind of dress, if you are not sick, then you are definitely not a good person!" Shisheng thought in his heart.

Probably feeling Shisheng's gaze, the man suddenly turned his head in the direction of Shisheng.

Shisheng was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, "I was discovered, and I really wasn't an ordinary person!" But what's the deal with the mask on this guy's face? ”

The white-robed man actually had a white mask on his face, which was not a good thing to tell people that he was not a good person?

Maybe there was an illusion, Shisheng actually felt that the guy was hiding under the mask and smirking at him, which gave him goosebumps.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the stage.

By this time, the sun had already set most of it, and lanterns had been lit on the surrounding pillars.

And the people on the stage come and go, ready to start.

Suddenly, a smiling and somewhat weak man walked onto the stage.

"Dear folks, fathers, brothers and sisters, we are about to open our voices! Before that, how about inviting our pillars to play a pipa song for everyone and entertain them? ”

"Good!" The audience shouted in unison.

The man continued, "Let me first introduce you to the girl who falls into the qin, this is a geisha who is specially played for those dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and is known as the 'Falling Flower Divine Finger', you are really blessed today!" ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, the woman with a hesitant face but as noble as an iceberg snow lotus walked onto the stage with a pipa in her arms.

This is the girl in the man's mouth.

When the man below saw Luoqin, his eyes immediately lit up and his body was hot.

And when the woman saw Luoqin, she immediately felt jealous, and scolded in her heart.

There are many gentlemen who have already started the idea of a spring night in their hearts.

After the woman came on stage, an errand runner came up and gave her a chair and asked her to sit down.

"Everyone, look at you!" The man grinned and got off the stage.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent, as if waiting for the sound of the lute.

The moment those slender hands touched the strings of the pipa, a soft sound permeated the stage for ten miles.

"Sounds good!" However, the world is uneducated, so it can only be described in one word.

Everyone closed their eyes and reveled in the wonderful sound, no one coaxed, no one shouted.

Even the little children who were running around stopped and listened.

But just when the sound of the lute reaches its climax, the sound stops abruptly, making people feel suffocated.

The moment they opened their eyes, everyone was stunned.

I saw a female corpse hanging high on the stage, which was the piano.

And her lute fell to the ground.

The strings are all broken.
