Chapter 415: The Stage
There are poems: Outside the mountain, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed? The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou.
If you love her, take her to Hangzhou, because there is singing and dancing, and the river is clear and the sea is clear, which can be described as a paradise on earth; If you hate him, please take him to Hangzhou, because there is no one there who knows the hatred of the country, and it is a hell for aspirants.
Who in the world doesn't know the ballad of clouds and water in Hangzhou?
"The Ballad of Yunshui" is not a ballad, but a sign of a stage. Among the more than a dozen pear orchards that are opened around the West Lake, only this one is a city, and there is an endless stream of businessmen. Yunshui Ballad not only has a stage, but also a place to eat, so the spectators often come here early in the morning to take a seat, order a cup of tea for the rest of the seat, and come to eat when the meal is reached.
Although the dynasty emphasized literature over military force, even ordinary Vasheri could hear about the things on the rivers and lakes, and there were many rumors. The most talked about of these rumors is the "Tianshan Sword" more than ten years ago. After so many years, although people have forgotten the name and surname of the dead swordsman, they still remember the once powerful heroine, Scorpion Sect Leader Lu Haoxue; Not to mention Xiao Binyi, the later leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and now the emperor's forbidden army.
There are rumors in the market: if there is no battle of "Tianshan Absolute Sword", then Xiao Binyi and Lu Haoxue will not be able to take charge of the power of commanding martial arts after the death of Wuzun, and if Xiao Binyi does not have Lu Haoxue's help, his position as the leader of the alliance will not be stable at all, let alone go from martial arts to the right path and become the commander of the emperor's forbidden army.
Therefore, the troupe of Yunshui Ballad carefully arranged a play - the sword of the Tianshan Mountains in the history of the green forest, which was well received by all parties as soon as it was launched, and even enthusiastic business travelers recommended and told each other along the way; has made this play and the "Lu Haoxue" in the play unexpectedly famous in the past few months......

Hangzhou City, in the General's Palace.
"Miss, are you going again?" In front of the makeup mirror, Situ Lingyun was wearing a plain long skirt, a silk white bandeau, sleeves studded with white flowers, and a ribbon like snow, and she seemed to be deliberately pretending to be someone.
"It's been four months, the spring has passed, and there is only one-tenth of the silver taels raised for the eldest brother, and now if it is all sudden, I can't help it." Situ Lingyun's voice is very good, not like the Yellow Bird in the Empty Valley, but her timbre is like a broken Kunshan jade, giving people a feeling of ice and jade. This voice is very similar to the female character she wants to play, and it is precisely because of this that the drama of Tianshan Absolute Sword will be so popular.
"But...... If the master knew that the young lady was going to do a show, the young lady would definitely be grounded, or even ...... will even marry directly with the people of the Qin family and marry the young lady out......" The maid shook her hand when she said this, and dropped the jade comb to the ground.
"Ahh Miss, I'm sorry! I ......"
Situ Lingyun bowed down and picked up the jade comb, "Mo Li, if it is...... If that day comes, you will definitely follow me, right? I don't want any dowry, but you...... Don't leave, don't leave me. Lingyun turned around and put the jade comb in the palm of the maid Mo Li's hand, "Your name was given by me, and only you know what I did for my eldest brother, Brother Yulong led troops outside the fortress, but the saint ignored it, and my brother came back to say that the army of the Yuanmeng people had been assembled outside the Yumen Pass, if the Yumen Pass was broken, I am afraid that this country and this family would not be protected...... I don't want to be a businesswoman who doesn't know the hatred of the country, so I went to do a show, and I wanted to raise enough gold and silver to buy that 'Streamer Afterimage' for my eldest brother. ”
"Miss, Mo Li knows, Miss has done so many ...... for the eldest young master"
"Alas...... In fact, it is far from enough to rely on the eldest brother alone, it is rumored that there are seven divine weapons on the Yuanmeng side, and in addition to the eldest brother's anti-heaven halberd, I only have the Qin family's 'Streamer Remnant Blade'...... If there is really a hero in the script written by Mr. Hao Yibai in the world today, he will definitely be able to repel the army of the Yuanmeng people and recover the lost territory. Situ Lingyun sighed faintly, "However, the only thing I can do is kill him with a sword......
After the time of a stick of incense passed, the maid Mo Li finally combed Situ Lingyun's hair, and after putting on makeup a little longer than before, Mo Li walked out of the house from the side door, and called the sedan chair man to follow the path that had always traveled, detoured to the back store of Yunshui Song, and sent Lingyun to the stage. It is precisely like this, except for the store manager of Yunshui Ballad, no one can know who the actor of "Lu Haoxue" is.
※※
The stage of Yunshui Ballad is built very high, and there is a plaque hanging at the highest place, with the book "Liyuan Danxin", and the left side of the stage is written "out of the general", and the right side is "into the phase", which is the way for actors to enter and exit the scenes. The first few plays have been performed, and the finale "Tianshan Sword" is finally about to be staged, and there is a rush behind the scenes.
Finally, the music and drums were played, and the sound of dong dong bang sounded, and two "swordsmen" came out and stood on both sides of the stage.
Although it is a scorching summer, the nameless swordsman and "Xiao Binyi" are still wearing animal skin jackets, and there are scattered white paper flowers artificially on the top of the stage, in order to restore the scene of flying snow in Tianshan Mountain.
"I don't sleep tonight, although there are good days and good times, you and I step on the ice together, and we lose the clear waves; The snow stretched, even though it was difficult to argue with thousands of words, and they parted ways with each other, and they were speechless. But it was "Xiao Binyi" who opened his mouth first.
The nameless swordsman didn't need to say much, raising his hand was a sword, but he never expected to be tripped over the wooden board of the stage and stumble towards "Xiao Binyi".
"Xiao Binyi" first turned sideways, and then grabbed the arm of the nameless swordsman, put his arms around his waist and straightened him. The nameless swordsman seemed to be annoyed and angry, and threw his sword to the ground and smashed his fist at "Xiao Binyi". saw "Xiao Binyi" flickering and moving, sometimes blocking, sometimes turning and changing, not taking the nameless swordsman in his eyes at all.
"Speechless, it's a pity that it's a good kung fu, empty and sad. Why don't you take the royal list all year round? These words actually sound like "Xiao Binyi" holding high the banner of justice and persuading the nameless.
"All year round? I am a lonely guest from the end of the world, how can I pick it up. If there is glory and wealth, it can also be changed. "The nameless swordsman was actually convinced, which is a big surprise!
Although behind the scenes, Situ Lingyun can still know what is being played in front of the stage, the script has changed, although the scene of "Lu Haoxue" is still to read a line after shooting the nameless swordsman, but this has changed, whether it is "Lu Haoxue", "Xiao Binyi" or the nameless swordsman, the identity and positioning of the characters are completely out of shape, which is very different from the version compiled by Hao Yibai who starred before.
"Manager, what's going on?" Situ Lingyun frowned, very unhappy.
The store manager sighed deeply, "The people above knew that we played well, and after rewarding us with a thousand taels of gold, they ordered us to act according to this script, and we should not play the previous script again." It seems to be detrimental to the image of the commander of the Forbidden Army......"
Situ Lingyun was speechless.
"Alas...... Fortunately, your role hasn't changed much, it's just one more snuggled in the arms of 'Xiao Binyi', just one action, don't worry. This reward belongs to everyone, of course you have a share, and I will take it here when you finish the play......"
At this time, a loud roar came from the front of the stage, "Shadowless Sword!" ”
Situ Lingyun knew it was time to play by himself. So he picked up the prop and bent the bow to shoot the "sword".
Suddenly, the blue wooden sword shot at "Xiao Binyi", "Xiao Binyi" instinctively clamped it with his armpit, but he didn't expect that this was on the stage at this time, not the training behind the scenes.
"Xiao Binyi" glared at "Lu Haoxue" and thought: Look at how you end!
So a man who had been molded perfectly before fell on the stage.
Situ Lingyun acted in such a play, which made the store manager even more frightened into a cold sweat, but Situ Lingyun could have just left, but she didn't, but instead used the identity of "Lu Haoxue" to come to the stage.
She wanted to use the truth in her eyes to complete this last play for her.
"At midnight, on the side of the mountain, ice and snow clouds appeared.
The gods abandoned it for the sake of fairness.
The water of Tianchi ripples, freezing thousands of miles.
Xia Yingping is nowhere to be found, and life and death are in a sword.
Before the childhood sweetheart, the blue frost broke the cause.
Haoxue thought about it and wanted to destroy the spirit.
Thousands of strands of white silk will eventually be wolf smoke. ”
After singing this song, "Lu Haoxue" walked to the stage and said bluntly to thousands of audiences: "This is the real script, this is the real story." Maybe...... It's the last time I'll perform, but I hope I can leave something on this stage. Yes, since I'm acting in this play, I'm responsible...... Will this play ...... Perform the ...... realistically"
In addition to the new audience, there are not a few old viewers who come for "Lu Haoxue", when they only know how to judge, they are "spectators", but if these spectators know what a good script is, what is "true", and dare to applaud for these "true, good and beautiful" things, they will evolve from "pure spectators" to people of insight.
Hearing that "Lu Haoxue" dared to correct the messy changes of the script, the audience applauded, and hearing these applause, the store manager who originally planned to take a curtain call was also moved, walked to the front of the stage, pulled up Xiao Binyi's actor, and asked them to perform again according to the old script......
※※
There was a burst of thunder, and it rained in Hangzhou.
The performance of Yunshui Balad finally came to an end, and the audience left one after another after feasting their eyes and stomachs. Although there is still some fun, I also know that this is the last "Tianshan Sword", and I will never perform it in the future, which is what the store manager meant.
In order not to be held accountable, the troupe that starred in "Tianshan Sword" also decided to disband today, and the store manager decided to give them 300 taels of gold and let them leave Hangzhou to find another way.
"I'm sorry, manager, guys. I'm the one who dragged you down......"
"No, 'Lu Haoxue' did the right thing, in fact, when I got the new script, I wanted to tear it up...... The change was so outrageous, I played it disgustingly myself. So said the actor of the nameless swordsman.
"Xiao Binyi" was silent, took a hundred taels of gold and put it in a cloth pocket and wanted to leave.
Situ Lingyun glanced at him, didn't say anything more, saluted the store manager, and then held up the oil-paper umbrella and walked to the back store.
It rains a lot on the shore of West Lake, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
The powder on Situ Lingyun's face gradually disappeared under the rain, revealing a face that was far more beautiful than when she was wearing makeup.
Suddenly, a woman's laughing and scolding voice came from the embankment in front of her: "Jing Xuan, look at your stupid brother!" I can't hit an umbrella, my ass is wet! ”
I heard the lame little boy who was carried on the woman's back and said aggrievedly: "Sister...... My hands are sore...... It's been two hours, why is this rain so evil, it always follows us......"
"Hehe, it's not the rain that follows us, it's that we follow the rain; In the face of all things in nature, we are always insignificant, and words must not be overlooked. Walking in front of the siblings was a man with waist-length hair, who pressed his umbrella low and did not seem to want to socialize with pedestrians.
Situ Lingyun just glanced at them curiously at the sound, and then stopped looking at them and walked straight past them......
The long-haired man who was walking in front suddenly paused, wanting to stop and look back, but he stopped. After a pause, he smiled and shook his head again.
