Chapter 547: The Ichthyosaurus Man Yan was amazed
This ichthyosaur Manyan, also known as ichthyosaur Manyan, generally refers to the simultaneous performance of various acrobatic plays in ancient times, which has a dazzling and dizzying look.
Later, the ancient color trick prevailed, and the fish dragon Manyan specifically referred to the large-scale illusion, which was performed by the geisha with rare birds and beast models, and there were many illusion plots, called "strange and wonderful plays", and later referred to as illusion is also.
The ichthyosaurus is the lynx in ancient mythology, Manyan is also the name of a strange beast, the Sui Dynasty has "the trick of the fish dragon Manyan, often in front of the palace, tired day and night, do not know how to rest" record, the Song people also said, watch the water play, the fish dragon Manyan.
It can be seen that the illusion of the fish dragon Manyan was quite mature and common in the Song Dynasty, and it was a popular form of entertainment with the miscellaneous dramas in the Goolan tile.
This is also the earliest and largest illusion show in ancient times, it is rumored that the fish dragon Manyan is made of colored silk and colored paper and other materials, tied into a large beast, the ichthyosaurus is a big fish transformed into a giant dragon of seven or eight zhang, and Manyan refers to a giant beast more than 80 zhang long, meandering on the stage, carrying the majestic sacred mountain, there are bears, tigers, wolves and leopards and other fierce beasts fighting, and there are apes chasing and fighting, peacocks and white elephants and other rare birds and beasts are all present in the world.
However, after all, it is an illusion, and when the wind and rain stop, all the fantastic images disappear, and everyone is amazed.
Yang Jing has never seen this, and he does not dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is a very magical historical period.
For example, the diet of the Great Song Dynasty was the peak of the diet, and many dishes could not be copied by later generations, just like Zhuge Repeater's crossbow, Tang knife, and the Great Song Dynasty's divine arm bow.
Yang Jing has personally experienced the illusion stunt of the flowers, that is, the peerless master behind Zhao Yun, the lotus real person Hu Mingqiao in Wudang, was trapped by the illusion of the flowers, if it wasn't for Yang Jing's sudden killing, Hu Mingqiao would have been plotted by Wei Wuyi and suffered a big loss!
Of course, Yang Jing participated in the creation of the script and screened all the illusions of Hua Tuan, so he knew very well that Hua Tuanjin's ability would definitely be able to amaze the people present!
At this time, the drums sounded, Guan Yulong pretended to be an old fisherman, and Princess Ruiguo pretended to be a fisherwoman.
As a golden branch and jade leaf, it may be unseemly to dress up as a civilian in this way, but the Song people attach great importance to entertainment and spiritual enjoyment, and many officials also like these performances, sometimes even playing on their own.
Of course, the excellent geisha are all lowly characters who can no longer be lowly, even if they become famous characters, they all need to look up to others, and the officials only secretly hide to entertain themselves, and they definitely dare not go to power openly.
Who is the princess of Keruiguo? That is the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, the emperor is reluctant to scold, who dares to point fingers?
Empress Dowager Yang also thought it was inappropriate, but after all, it was to celebrate her birthday, so she endured it.
But Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, because he was born as a civilian, and his father was only a county lieutenant when he was at his peak, although he had no worries about food and clothing, but as the king of a country, his background has also become an undeclared secret that others are unwilling and dare not mention.
Zhao Yun dotes on this only daughter, which is well known, but after all, Princess Ruiguo lives in the inner palace and has never suffered hardships, nor has she ever experienced the life of a commoner.
At this time, she pretended to be a fisherwoman, in Zhao Yun's view, this is a daughter who wants to experience her father's life, what a caring move!
Although her daughter's performance was a little jerky and her movements were a little stiff, this intention made Zhao Yun's eyes moisten.
The old fisherman and the fisherman started a dialogue, the plot is that the old grandmother is sick, the old fisherman takes his daughter, goes down to the river to catch fish, and wants to cook fish soup for the old grandmother, after all, it is a birthday celebration, and it also reflects filial piety.
However, Zhao Yun watched it with relish, and the two sang for a while, then got on the boat, rocking the oar, singing fishing songs, and there were green lotus smoke waves, and the smoke on this stage was not made somehow, but it had a little aroma.
The old fisherman threw the fishing net, but it was empty, and so on, but in the end, the fisherman girl kept encouraging her father, and when she saw that her father was tired, she secretly cast a net.
When Princess Ruiguo personally cast the net, Zhao Yun's eyes were already red, because it was a real fishing net, and it was not easy to throw it away, but Princess Ruiguo did it, which shows that she also put a lot of effort into this performance.
When she pulled up the net, the net was too heavy to pull, and dragged the boat out, waking up the old fisherman who was dozing.
When the fisherman awoke, he and his daughter pulled the net to the boat, but there was nothing but a little golden carp!
The old fisherman smiled and sang that although the fish was small, it could make soup for the old grandmother to drink, and when he saw that the sky was getting dark, he wanted to go back.
However, the princess of Ruiguo said, "This fish is so small, why is it as heavy as a mountain?" It must be a sacred thing in the river, why don't you let it go.
The old fisherman was thinking about the grandmother at home, but in the end he still obeyed his daughter, the old fisherman fished into the air, and a semi-transparent glass fish tank appeared, and the princess of Ruiguo put the fish into the tank, and the golden carp really swam!
With this empty-handed fish tank alone, Guan Yulong attracted the surprise of the audience, and Zhao Yun also leaned forward and completely threw himself into it.
The two finally returned home, and the grandmother also felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she let her granddaughter raise the golden carp, but she was so hungry that she fainted at night, and she was half dead!
The old fisherman was also shocked, knowing that the golden carp was an extraordinary thing, and wanted to cook the fish to give the old grandmother a life, but the granddaughter stopped him.
When the granddaughter cried to stop her father, many officials' families were also moved, and the little girl was also in a dilemma.
The granddaughter thought about it, and then sang to the golden carp, If you are really extraordinary, why don't you save my grandmother?
The fish seemed to understand, shaking its head and tail, the fish tank steamed, spreading out the boiling hookah, the smoke was dispersed, the golden carp turned into a dragon, straight to the main hall, the curtain around it rose without wind, as if there was an invisible dragon clash everywhere, the hats of the officials were knocked off, and the wine and food of the birthday banquet were overturned!
Hu Mingqiao and the others had never seen the rehearsal, although Yang Jing had greeted him in advance, but they didn't expect it to have such an unpredictable effect!
The invisible golden dragon seemed to hover in the main hall, and after a while, there was a faint dragon groaning, and the hookah gathered on the top of the main hall, and there was a thunderous sound, and it actually rained!
Everyone was stunned, this was not the fakes they had seen in their ordinary lives, it was as if there was a real dragon, cruising in the main hall, and it was still raining!
What's even more surprising is that only Zhao Yun's head did not rain, and Empress Dowager Yang was also stained and was not drenched by the rain!
Jia Yidao and the others hurriedly knelt down, as if Zhao Yun was the real dragon, lying on the ground in horror and saluting loudly at Zhao Yun!
The old grandmother on the stage got the moisture of this dragon rain, and also became radiant, at this time Gao Caizhi and other people came out one after another, loaded with rainwater with various utensils, and after a while, there was a dragon groan, and the top of the Wanshou Taiyi Hall actually exploded a gap, and the real dragon went straight to the sky!
And after the top of the hall was broken, the sunlight projected down, like a spotlight, on Zhao Yun's body, rendering Zhao Yun like a heavenly dragon possessed, exuding a faint golden glow!
At this time, the drum music stopped, and the audience was silent!
They were all the most powerful people in the Great Song Dynasty, and they had never seen anything rare? They had long been tired of seeing such a magical scene!
When everyone was silent, Princess Ruiguo, who was pretending to be a fisherwoman, raised the fish tank full of dragon rain and congratulated Zhao Yun and Empress Dowager Yang.
"I wish my father and my aunt (grandma's meaning) a long life, and a long life!"
The geisha behind him also raised the gold and silver utensils holding Long Yu in their hands, and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother on a long life!"
Princess Ruiguo splashed the fish tank in her hand hard at this time, and the officials in the audience subconsciously wanted to block it with their hands!
But what spilled out of the fish tank was not water, but pieces of golden leaves!
Behind him, Gao Caizhi, Guan Yulong and others also splashed out the dragon rain, and they were all golden, dazzling!
Everyone was like a duck with a stretched neck, tilting their heads, letting the golden leaves fall on their faces, and some people were already full of tears, where is this illusion, this is a miracle!
Yang Jing looked at Zhao Yun who was also stunned in the distance from the backstage, and smiled with satisfaction, and accepted the flowers, which was really a wise move!
For this performance, he begged Yang Miaozhen for a long time, because he needed to use his hands and feet on the Wanshou Taiyi Hall to install various mechanisms on the roof.
There are only a few fish and dragons in the stands, don't look at only such a play, not to mention the plot, just to create such an effect, using flowers and flowers, not to mention everyone, Chen Xixian's borrowed people, plus Yang Jing's secret inspectors, nearly four or five hundred people, can be regarded as completing this project.
Of course, in order to keep it secret, Guan Yulong also intends to disassemble all the work, and each unit makes one of them, but he can't know all of it, so those who work will feel ordinary and have no big secrets, but when they finish watching the overall effect, the mood of surprise and shock is absolutely the same as those in the audience!
They even wondered, we worked overtime last night, and this is what we did?
This kind of pride with honor also made them hold their heads high, and said slowly that they would do something in the Wanshou Taiyi Palace, and they would be happy to demolish it!
But Yang Jing saw tears in the corners of Zhao Yun's eyes, which made him marvel and also remembered his past.
Although this script is written to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Yang, the plot also revolves around saving the grandmother and embodies the filial piety of the old fisherman and the fisherman's daughter, but Yang Jing knows that this era, this court, is not Empress Dowager Yang's, but Zhao Yun's!
His plot really touched Zhao Yun, because Zhao Yun is the little golden carp, he is the folk golden carp, and then turned into a dragon, sitting on the world, controlling authority, and was also like the dragon that traveled clouds and rain, wanting to bring favors to the people, wanting the people to be in good weather, and wanting the Great Song Dynasty to be prosperous and strong!
Yang Jing was also reminding him, Your Majesty, you used to be like this dragon, loving the people like a son, working hard, and also like clouds and rain, scattering gold leaves all over the world, that is the small prosperous era of Duanping and changing!
You should not forget your past ambitions, nor should you forget your ambition to reclaim your homeland, why not break through the top of this hall and rise to the sky like that dragon!
Zhao Yun has obviously understood Yang Jing's intentions, this form of reminder is far more direct to the hearts of the people than the direct admonitions of civil officials kowtowing and bleeding to death, and it is easier to accept!
Zhao Yun trusted Yang Jing and wanted to reuse Yang Jing, so he had good intentions to let Yang Jing bring a knife into the palace and guard him.
And Yang Jing, in order to remind him, once again became the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the dragon who died in the king's death, why didn't he also have good intentions?
Zhao Yun's eyes passed through the crowd, looking at Yang Jing's figure hiding in the corner of the background, clenching his fists tightly!
