Chapter 43: Ancient and Modern

The make-up artist put the old "eunuch" back on the triangular hat and tied the tassel, when suddenly a muffled thunder startled her and almost tore off the belt.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, I'm sorry. The young makeup artist is very apprehensive, although the old actor in front of him is not a famous movie star, but he is also a character, he just came to this crew for an internship, and it will be over if he messes up.

The old "eunuch" did not blame her, waved his hand and stood up, opened the door, and walked out.

Outside, there were dark clouds and wind and rain.

"That little girl, is she still disobedient and escaped?" he muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes narrowed: "The color of the lightning in the clouds...... Blood Thunder is about to turn into a [Evil Dragon]? This is a big problem. ”

"It's been hundreds of years, and I've seen it again......" The old eunuch looked at the sky and fell into a memory:

............

Eighteen years of Jiajing, Jihai, summer.

Songjiang (ancient name of Longcang City) Qingpu County was in drought, more than half of the seedlings died of thirst, and locusts crossed the border, eating up almost all the surviving crops.

The emperor ordered disaster relief, but unfortunately the displaced people were everywhere and it was difficult to pacify, so the emperor sent an internal attendant and soldiers from a government to reinforce and suppress it.

The internal attendant, who was the chief supervisor of ceremonies at the time, supervised the East Factory, and was in power for a while.

With the emperor's order, he asked the neighboring prefectures and counties to open warehouses to save people, because the grain transferred from Huizhou was still on the way.

Neighboring prefectures and counties, citing the fact that they had also suffered disasters under their own rule, delayed the delivery of grain and only gave the chaff.

The great eunuch was furious and beheaded a county order with the imperial sword, in order to set an example, but unfortunately, it had little effect.

In autumn, the homeless people change their children and eat.

At this moment of despair, a tour of Fang Yedao jumped out and said that he had a way.

This person is holding a bead and saying: "Dragon Pearl", and he only needs to find a woman born in a lunar year, and he can solve the danger.

The homeless people were convinced, and in three days they found an orphan girl.

The Taoist priest boiled water with a big ding, and after the water boiled, he dropped the "dragon pearl", and after a moment, the boiling water froze, and the sound of a dragon groaning came out of the ding.

The orphan girl was frightened and wanted to flee, and the homeless people broke their limbs and tied them to the front of the tripod with vines.

The Taoist priest threw the orphan girl in the ding, about an hour later, the dragon chanted loudly, as if there was a treasure light bursting out from the ding, the dark clouds were dense, and the wind was fierce.

When there was a lot of drought in Qingpu County, the displaced people thought that the heavy rain was coming, so they cried and bowed to the person three times and nine times, and bowed and worshipped.

Not long after, a monster crawled out of the ding, with a dragon's head and a human body, and red scales were dense.

I saw it raise its head to the sky and roar, and it was like a wing, and it was lifted up into the sky by a strong wind.

The thunder is rolling in the sky, and a hundred zhang red dragons are occasionally seen, poking out from the clouds, surrounded by red thunder, and the sound is covered with thunder.

The Taoist priest hid his face and said in fear: "Evil dragon!"

The East China Sea is uplifted, and the waves are thousands of feet high, and they are all over the sky.

The eunuchs and county officials hid in the sealed cellars and were able to escape, and the displaced people outside drifted (drowned) tens of thousands of people overnight.

............

A drop of rain hit the old eunuch's face, bringing him back to his senses from that terrible memory.

He remembered the blood-colored thunder, and remembered the fishy smell in the sky, exactly the same as the scene now.

Ironically, this film and television city was in the Ming Dynasty, in Qingpu County.

Same place, same tragedy.

If more than 400 years ago, the evil Taoist priest still had a high-sounding reason - to relieve the great drought, but now, what is the mastermind behind the scenes?

He still remembered what the Taoist priest said to him at that time:

"Angel (the ancient honorific title for Qincha), this pearl can make people turn into dragons, if they turn into golden dragons, they will bless the common people, and if they turn into red dragons, they will kill thousands of miles. The dragon is the god of wind and rain, it will be able to overcome the drought, and it can save the people of the nine counties, which is a great merit, so under this merit, it will become a golden dragon, auspicious heaven and earth, and the son of heaven is blessed!"

The old eunuch sighed, at that time he actually listened to the other party's words, and allowed the Taoist priest to stir up the homeless people, so that he had created such a great sin.

The past is gone, and now he lives in his twilight with a broken body, but he can never die, maybe it is the retribution of the heavens for him.

Don't think that immortality is always a good thing.

If you can be 18 years old and happy forever, of course it is a beautiful thing, but if you will always be in old age, with a sore back, and you will always be an old eunuch, and you will never pee dry, will you do it if you give it to you?

"I'll do it!" must have said this, he must have forgotten the crying father and mother when he was circumcised, he couldn't even stand that little pain, and he still wanted to be a thousand-year-old eunuch?

............

"Director, I'm old, and when it rains on a cloudy day, my bones hurt all over my body, so I'll take half a day off. The old eunuch turned to the director in the room and said.

The director's face was very bad, not because he was frightened by some thunderstorm, but just now, as soon as he entered the house, he told Zhao Xiaoman about beating people - since that Miss Zhu refused to say it, then he would come by himself.

He said it very tactfully, but before Zhao Xiaoman could speak, Song Jiji on the side began to protect the lord loyally, and he damaged the director in a weird way.

The director was very uncomfortable, three months ago, before the crew started filming, this Song Jiji knelt and licked him like a dog, and someone recommended him to let this guy in as an assistant director, how long has it been since he became this face?

Now seeing the lightning and thunder outside and the rain, the afternoon drama must be in the soup, facing the old man's leave, he nodded: "Teacher Huang, go back and have a good rest." ”

The old eunuch sighed, he didn't know if his body would be drowned, and even if he couldn't, he didn't want to be blistered, so he wanted to go out and quickly find a place to hide - it was obvious that a scene from more than four hundred years ago would soon be repeated.

..................

In addition to the huge commercial port along the coast of Longcang City, there are also some offshore fish farms.

The fishermen were a little stunned to see the drastic change in the weather, to see the fish in their own fishing grounds, to jump out of the water like crazy, and to see the seabirds in the distance flying desperately inland, but they did not even make a single chirp.

Satellites in space photographed a sudden cyclone over the East China Sea, and without warning, it seemed that a terrifying hurricane was forming.

A hurricane was forming in the upper air of the entire Longcang City, and the strong wind in the lower atmosphere suddenly stopped, and the air seemed to condense into a whole piece, which made people very depressed.

............

"Grandma, my fingers are bleeding...... I saw a strange man wrapped in a sheet, right in the corner in front of me!" In the distance, Grandma Liu received a call.

Modern technology is very easy to use, and many software can locate each other through mobile phones, and the error will not exceed 10 meters.

Soon, Grandma Liu and her party gathered together.

Rain, dripping underground.

A group of black suits made way and let Grandma Liu walk in.

In the corner, a girl, huddled.

Beside her, a shattered mirror.
