Chapter Ninety-One: Soul Hooking

Lin Qi quickly got rid of the officers and soldiers who caught up, in Zhou Dexing's eyes, he was a god who didn't eat or drink, but he didn't know that it was caused by Lin Qi swallowing a strange yin and yang fruit. Speaking of which, although this yin and yang fruit is mysterious, it is definitely not an elixir, and if you eat it, you can become an immortal, and it is said that it will soar. The human body has the spirit of the spirit, the yin and yang qi are sufficient, and the body naturally replenishes the consumption, and it is not unusual to be not thirsty or hungry, but this fruit is in Lin Qi's body, and it has also changed the physique, the body is stronger, the feet are faster, the five senses are sharper, and the strength is greater, and that's it.

After a quick run, Lin Qi sweated all over his body, suddenly felt refreshed, and his feet did not stop, taking advantage of the night to move forward, until dawn he found a place to sleep, woke up after dark, aimlessly, thinking about finding the place where there were many people, and asked someone from the beggar gang to see if there was any news of Zhou Dian from She Ling.

Unhurriedly came to Huaiyuan, Huaiyuan is a small county, compared to Jiyin is far from enough, there are thousands of eight hundred households, when Lin Qi arrived, it was already Hai Shi, except for a few dog barks, it was very silent, every household had fallen asleep at this hour, and no one was like Lin Qi wandering around like a night owl. Not even a beggar was seen.

Lin Qi knew that beggars generally lived in broken temples, or abandoned ancestral halls, and dilapidated houses with no people, so he walked around Huaiyuan City, and heard the sound of singing and babbling, followed the sound and walked a long street, and suddenly there was a small square in front, and a platform was piled up in front of the square, which was quite large, and a man and a woman were babbling and singing. There are also two rows of small wooden benches under the stage.

The strange thing is that the whole small square is empty, but there is a mourning shed on the right side of the stage, wrapped in white cloth, the spirit flags are displayed, and the tribute incense and candles are complete, but there is no family vigil, except for the two actors on the stage who have two faces smeared like ghosts, babbling in costumes, and singing listlessly, it is an empty and cold silence.

There's a hint of weirdness about this situation.

As the saying goes, ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs, and thousands of miles of different feelings. It is said that they are separated by ten miles, the living atmosphere of the two places is different, they are separated by a hundred miles, the customs are different, they are thousands of miles apart, and the people and things are different. Lin Qi just felt strange, and didn't understand who to show the singing on the big night? For ghosts?

He really didn't guess wrong, this is indeed a local custom, and it is not strange to say, it is nothing more than that the family died, the family would put the coffin under the stage, set up a tent to do white things, the family came to cry during the day, and asked the singer to perform at night, and those who had money sang for seven days in a row, and those who had no money sang for a day, two days and three days.

The play is not sung for the living, but sung for the ghosts, and the meaning is also simple, that is, let the yin cha master watch the scene when he comes to hook the soul, and when he is happy, he will naturally help take care of his family, and it will be better to get there. As a result, there is also an extra job in the local area, singing ghost shows. But they are not really from the troupe, they are all wild people, learn so many voices, get two costumes and go on the stage, and the money is not much, but good food and drink are always inevitable.

Lin Qi didn't understand this, so he thought that singing was fun, speaking of which, he really hadn't seen a play when he was so big, and it happened to be fine, such a good opportunity, of course, he wouldn't miss it, sat on the wooden bench on the side, and watched it with relish.

The two singers on the stage were listless, think about it, no matter how good the singing is, no one applauds or applauds, how can they cheer up? This will see that there are more people in the audience, concentrate on watching with relish, at a glance, you know that you are a foreigner, you don't know the rules, this ghost play, in addition to singing, the living can be present, so you are not afraid of bumping into the ghost master?

But it's better for someone to watch it than for no one to watch it, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of style, these two dramas didn't remind Lin Qi, but cheered up, took out eighteen kinds of martial arts, and sang a play a hundred times a thousand times.

The two dramas can sing this one, called the Broken Kiln, Wang Shifu's book, the story is about Liu Yuanwai's daughter Yue'e throwing hydrangea on the color floor to choose a son-in-law, but she took a fancy to the poor talent Lu Mengzheng, and insisted on marrying him, Liu Yuanwai's persuasion was ineffective, and she was driven to live in the broken kiln of Lu Mengzheng in a fit of anger. Lu Meng was fasting in the White Horse Temple, and Liu Yuanwai asked the elders not to help him, and wanted to take Yue'e home, but Yue'e refused. Lu Mengzheng was consciously humiliated, and his friend Kou Zhun entered Beijing to respond. Ten years later, he returned to his hometown to serve as the county magistrate, and in order to test Yue'e, he first asked the matchmaker to lie that he had died, and persuaded Yue'e to marry another, but Yue'e sternly refused; Later, he pretended not to be official, and Yue'e did not dislike him, so he told the truth. In the White Horse Temple, Lu Mengzheng and his wife went to burn incense, and Liu Yuanwai recognized his son-in-law, showing that he humiliated Lu Mengzheng precisely to stimulate him to make progress, so as not to be obsessed with wealth and wealth, and the father and daughter finally reconciled. It just so happened that Kou Zhun was an official because of the interview with the Magi, and everyone was reunited.

There is no drama, the literary drama is also exciting, Lin Qi was elated, and he slapped hard when he was happy, which made the two people on the stage even more energetic, speaking of this ghost play, it is not that this section is sung after it is finished, but the hour of singing, rapping for two hours, then it has to be two hours, and after singing, he will sing again.

Again, the two people on the stage were not as energetic as before, and they began to be lazy again, a tone dragged on for a long time, and the distance of two steps was eight steps, but Lin Qi still looked so serious, he felt that this singing was really good-looking, and it was so good to see. This is not to blame him, he is a country boy, and he has never seen a singing opera, not to mention that he has been under the Yellow River for so many years, and he can watch ants fight for three days after he comes out, not to mention the colorful dresses on this stage, as well as the storyline singing.

The singer feels that there is no taste in singing the second time, but for Lin Qi, this taste has just begun, to be honest, if these two dramas can be sung for ten days, Lin Qi can watch them for ten days, and they will not drive, if they can sing for a month, he can watch them for a month, and they will not be annoying, if they can sing for a year, he can watch them for a year, and they can still watch them with relish. He's a freak.

A play was only dispersed when it was ugly, Lin Qi was still unsatisfied, and he was reluctant to leave, watching the two plays leave, these two actors also felt that this young boy was a little weird, and he didn't dare to provoke him, so he left in a hurry. Lin Qi looked refreshed, and couldn't help but learn from the appearance in the play, and sang with a sharp voice: "Listen to the bell ringing to report the information, this fasting has a time." I know his affection, and he waits for me to return to the table. Although it is poor nowadays, one day he will be angry and say, then he will repay his kindness during this period. In the meantime, there is no return, making a bowl of hot soup and waiting for Hyunta's cold. Carrying a frozen sour stuffing, the hunger of the clumsy woman who has not been filled is very surprising......"

While singing, he also pretended to learn to walk, bleak and cold, there was a coffin next to it, and a white shed was erected, and the wind blew and only sounded, as if to accompany him, only three or two wild cats curiously watched him writhing wildly.

Twisting and twisting, I couldn't help but go to the stage, anyway, no one sang anymore, it was better to go up and twist, but when I got to the stage, I saw a notice posted on the pillar, not an official notice, it was a reward in black and white, the content was very short, asking strange people to cure evil, and repaying him heavily, fifty taels of silver. The payment is Chen Lingdong, Yanan Street, County.

Lin Qi didn't care, he went on stage and learned to sing with a sharp voice, and was singing, when a breeze suddenly rose on the right, and the temperature around him suddenly cooled down, Lin Qi felt abnormal, pinched his hand to open his eyes, and in a trance, he saw a few little ghosts surrounded by a tall horse-faced man, seven or eight little ghosts, all wearing high white paper hats, wearing black clothes, all red hair and fangs, hideous and vicious, with flags in their hands, chains, and bells......

Lin Qi knew at a glance that a few little ghosts were ghosts, but he didn't know who the horse-faced man was surrounded by, this man was magnificent, with an old face, and his face was ugly and abnormal, wearing a staff suit, wearing a top staff hat, pacing in all directions, his face seemed to be smiling, his skin was not smiling, and he was not smiling, revealing a trace of coldness and coldness.

A few ghosts and the horse-faced man went to the bottom of the stage, and when they saw Lin Qi singing in a stupid way, they couldn't help but be stunned, and the horse-faced man stood under the stage and watched for a while, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. Lin Qi faintly listened to a few little ghosts muttering to each other: "This kid is a fool, right?" How did it come to be like this? What a crazy ...... Now that the singers are getting more and more confused, how can they find some of this kind of goods......"

Lin Qi listened to it in his ears, and felt embarrassed, stopped, the horse-faced man shook his head with a smile, and instructed the little ghost to go to hook the soul, Lin Qi saw the little ghost hook the soul for the first time, and he didn't sing anymore, squatting on the stage and watching, he saw a little ghost holding a slender iron chain, walked to the front of the coffin, and said sharply: "Qian, your name is on the life and death book, and you will live sixty-nine years, so go with me in front of the palace of the king of Hades." As he spoke, the iron rope flung towards the coffin, hooking out the soul of an old lady, the old lady's face was full of vicissitudes, her teeth were about to fall out, and she was also from a poor family, and followed the little ghost Lang Lang to stagger, and the ghost was done, and her body gradually faded and disappeared into the darkness.
