In the attention of more than 500 people, the Red Flag Troupe under the Jiankang Grand Theater, which was built by Xiao Zhao's Zhenfu envoy, finally kicked off the curtain with the first performance of "The Legend of the White Fox......

But the first thing the 500-odd spectators saw was not any stage scene they had guessed, but fog—something that I don't know how to create, like an endless white mist.

What does this mean? What is hidden in the fog?

All the viewers began to think about this question almost subconsciously.

At this moment, a light flute sound sounded from the mist, and was amplified by an unknown device, bringing the sound of gurgling water and tactful bird language to everyone's ears.

Occasionally, when the flute sound breaks down, the audience realizes that it is not only the sound of the flute, but also the small sounds of the insects that flow through the first theater of the huge Grand Theater.

"It's like going into the depths of the forest again. ”

After another flute pause, someone finally couldn't help but whisper.

"Shut up! The Grand Theater is an elegant place, not a teahouse for listening to stories!"

Someone next to him immediately reprimanded, so the reprimanded person was immediately silent, and he didn't dare to return half a sentence.

Yes, this is a beautiful decoration, even the chairs are covered with soft red flannel, so that people almost dare not sit down in the grand theater, but not after spending three taels of copper coins, anyone can go in to listen, when you hear that you want to cheer loudly, you can cheer loudly, and you want to scold loudly in the storytelling teahouse, this is an elegant theater!

It's just that at this moment, a mighty tiger roar suddenly sounded and instantly broke the tranquility that had been created with great difficulty!

"Ah——!h

"Ah——!h

Without warning, the audience in the entire theater, at least nine-tenths of the audience, was so frightened by this roar that they let out an irrepressible exclamation, and some people were even so frightened that they wanted to run.

Although there was a lot of chaos in the audience, the musicians of the Red Flag Troupe, who did not know where to hide, actually changed their instruments from flutes to loud drums that were beaten to the pounding drums and thunderous cymbals, creating a strong feeling that a storm was coming.

But soon, the sound of the flute sounded again from those clanging gallops, like a tough weed that the wind could not suppress a boulder.

Perhaps motivated by the sound of the flute, or perhaps finally found that the door of the theater was locked and no one could escape, after a chaotic atmosphere in the auditorium, these audiences who entered the theater for the first time to consume "elegant" finally got rid of the panic one after another.

Mortified......

All kinds of shame......

All the audience members who were frightened by the tiger roar had a fever on their faces in the gloomy environment, and they were so glad that all the light sources in the theater were concentrated on the stage, because then no one could see the ugly state of their panic just now.

Then, almost all of the audience tried to get their trembling legs back to normal as much as possible, at least not to be noticed by the people sitting next to them while still swaying.

Fortunately, these viewers soon discovered that the audience sitting next to them was not much better than their own number, and they were also still trembling irrepressibly.

A ghost! A ghost named Fifty Paces and a Hundred Paces of Laughter, wandering back and forth over the auditorium!

The audience's emotions finally calmed down almost completely, until they were shocked by another tiger roar, but because of the previous tiger roar, this time the audience was at least half less agitated, so at least the other half of the audience, who had managed to calm down, were surprised to see that the white fog that lingered on the stage had almost dissipated, and a lush forest was revealed.

And in the surprised eyes of the audience, a beautiful white fox with pure white fur that exudes a glowing soft light, how cute it looks, stumbled from outside the stage into the center of the stage in a panicked attitude!

Some beast is chasing this cute little thing!

Almost all the viewers who noticed this scene subconsciously came to this judgment in their hearts.

After all, this is Jingyun Mountain, where fierce beasts and even monsters are rampant, and among those who are lucky enough to watch this elegant performance, there are also a considerable number of mountain barbarians who live in this mountain, and they are used to this kind of hunting, and they themselves have even been hunters or even ...... Prey.

Can this cute white tiger chased by a fierce tiger escape?

The sympathetic audience quickly began to think about this question.

But what is disappointing and worrying is that after the audience turned around to the white fox in the center of the stage, they were surprised to find that one of the white fox's hind legs was actually drenched in blood, and the white-fronted hanging neck tiger approached step by step from the direction where the white fox escaped with a murderous and bloody wind.

The injured white fox struggled to continue running, but just after jumping out of a distance or two of crooked directions, the tiger shook down a tree next to the white fox with a tiger roar, and the fallen tree crushed the white fox's only remaining hind leg.

The white fox, who was suppressed, let out a painful and painful cry.

"Oops——!!!"

Some of the audience also exclaimed, and their sympathy for the weak made them stand on the side of the injured white fox without surprise, and they were extremely worried about the misery that the white fox would face next.

"Ho ho ho ho, little fox, you can't escape, as long as the prey in this Jingyun Mountain is valued by this king, no one can escape the pursuit of this king! Little fox, obediently hand over your cultivation inner pill, and this king will mercifully leave you a whole corpse, so that you still have a chance to be reincarnated and reborn!"

The tiger on the stage suddenly emitted a human voice, and its voice was full of unstoppable arrogance.

"Never! Wuji, you butcher! Even if I lose all five spirits, I will never give you Neidan!"

The white fox, who was crushed by the fallen wood, actually spoke out and replied angrily in a slightly hoarse female voice.

"Bold!Little fox, this king will ask you one last time, do you give it to Neidan?!"

The tiger demon asked with a roar.

"Never!"

The white fox replied in a sad voice as he struggled.

And these few sentences of dialogue also made the audience finally understand that the white fox and the tiger on the stage were actually two monsters who already had spiritual intelligence, but had not yet been able to transform into shape.

"Roar——! don't know what to lift, since you are bent on death, this king will let you die completely!"

The tiger demon seemed to be enraged, and with a roar he leaped forward and pounced on the white fox, who would rather die than give in, but apparently had no power to resist.

But at this extremely tense moment, a cyan figure suddenly stabbed out and slashed out, knocking the fox demon who could kill the white fox in the next moment.

The audience, whose hearts were hanging, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then they finally found out that the person who knocked the tiger demon away was actually a handsome young man dressed as a mountain barbarian hunter.

"Evil animal, you are not allowed to bully the weak!"

The handsome young man scolded the tiger who was knocked away by him with righteous words.

"Mere mortals, even dare to take care of the king's affairs, just right-this king hasn't eaten people for a long time! mortals, give this king obediently death!"

After the tiger demon bared its teeth and danced its claws, it roared and rushed towards the handsome young hunter who ran out to be a hero, and the handsome hunter with a double-strand fork quickly became a mess.

And this fight is a long time, for a while it is the tiger demon who has the upper hand and catches the handsome young hunter who is covered in blood, so that the hunters in the audience who are self-righteous and brave are eager to replace themselves and beat the arrogant tiger to death with a few punches;

The realistic fighting effect, coupled with the background music that is just right for the current audience, really stimulates the audience who are standing or sitting, making them eager to vent their mobilized adrenaline by yelling.

In fact, there were a few people who couldn't help but shout, but most of the rest had already remembered that the theater was an elegant place and could not be shouted, so they tried desperately to suppress their emotions and make themselves look more classy, more in line with the characteristics of the silent majority.

The plot on the stage is not based on the emotions of the audience, but according to the script that has been rehearsed countless times, it is advanced to the point that the tiger demon was repelled after being seriously injured, and at the same time, the handsome young hunter who bravely jumped out to save the white fox was also seriously injured but persevered until he scared the tiger demon away, and finally fell to the ground......

Of course, the young man did not die, although the white fox did think that Yong saved his young man from dying, so he struggled to spit out her incomparably precious Neidan, and wanted to use Neidan to save the young man's life, she wanted to exchange her life for a life.

But at the critical moment, the young man woke up miraculously, and after refusing the white fox's life for a life, he even worked hard to rescue the white fox from under the fallen wood.

After thanking the young man for saving his life, and saying that he would definitely come back to repay the young man after recovering from his injuries, the young man who bandaged the wound for the white fox was released to the white fox.

Before leaving, the white fox asked the young man a question: "Why did you save me?"

And the young man's answer was a faint sentence: "Ha, you think too much about the little fox, in fact, I fell from the tree, and if I don't fight with that tiger, I won't have a way to live." By the way, little fox, will you dance with the fox? Ah, sorry, I forgot that both of your legs were injured, so wait until next time!"

It's just that after the white tiger left, the plot took a turn again, it turned out that the young man was simply suppressing the injury, and after releasing the white fox, he finally couldn't suppress it again, vomited blood wildly and sat on the ground with a slump.

"Hey, what a simple white fox. I heard that the white fox can dance very beautifully, I really want to see it! Unfortunately, this life is ...... I can't see it. ”

After muttering these words, the young man passed away suddenly, and he closed his eyes forever with regret.

The ethereal humming sound sounded, and the flute sound that had always existed also became whimpering, so that the audience in the audience couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, and they couldn't wait to jump on the stage and shout - "Why?!Why doesn't such a good child live long?!Can't he see the dance of the white fox he wants to see?!"

In the midst of the suppressed emotions, the dense fog filled the stage again, and then the dense fog dispersed from time to time, and the sunrise and moon set, which represented the passage of time, appeared in constant change.

It's just that the young man who has died, but he always sits in the place where he died with regret as when he was dying.

Finally, when the sun rose high for the third time, the white fox, which had regained its health, reappeared on the stage with a prey about a golden pheasant.

When he saw clearly that the young man who promised himself and was supposed to wait for his repayment, had actually died, the white fox who was originally rushing over fell into the dust with the prey in his mouth in shock.

The white fox couldn't accept the cruel fact that the young man who had promised her to wait for her to repay her a few days ago had actually died, and she tried her best to wake up the young man, and even Nedan did not hesitate to send it away, but the dead body could not accept her Nedan.

The white fox, who had been wailing in place for a long time, finally had to accept the fact that the soul of her life-saving benefactor had completely left her body, but this white fox unexpectedly swore to the sky in front of the corpse that she must use her best efforts to find the reincarnation of her life-saving benefactor, and then protect them for life.

The thick fog reappeared and covered the bodies of the white fox and the young man, and when the thick fog dissipated, there was only a dirt bag that was obviously a mound, and the white fox who was stiff and tried to dance in front of the mound, and then the white fox disappeared, but the voiceover sounded again in time - "Benefactor, I will definitely find your reincarnation, I will definitely dance for them for the rest of my life, dance the dance of the fox you want to see, benefactor!"

The curtain finally lifted, signaling to the audience that the first act of the play was over.

But no audience stood up, because behind the big curtain that resembled a shadow puppet curtain, there was a bright light that lit up the whole curtain completely.

In fact, the next scene is indeed similar to the pattern of shadow puppetry, but the performance is after the reincarnation of the young man, one life after another, or rich and glorious, or poor, or power, or bullied birth, old age, sickness and death, and wedding and funeral fragments, but every life must focus on the performance of marriage, the "shadow white fox" projected on the curtain will appear and dance a more and more skillful fox dance for him, and the appearance of the white fox has also evolved from the original pure fox state, gradually evolved into a human fox body, Half-human, half-fox, a young woman dragging a tiger's tail, a young woman who doesn't even have a tail......

Finally in a certain life, the white fox fell hopelessly in love with the boy in that life, she walked into the life of the boy and married him.

It's just that in the end, the white fox can only watch the boy whose life has run out of life die in her arms, and then enter the next life.

In the next life, the white fox seemed to dare not love anymore, she stood in the dark again, silently guarding the young man, watching him live, grow old, sick and die, and dance for him when he spent candles in his cave room...... Then, the next life...... Next life......

This "shadow puppet show" for more than ten consecutive generations was silent to the audience, because they found that they could see those places that obviously intersected with their own lives from the mortals, old age, sickness and death in this life, and there would be resonance if there was an intersection.

Will this be a condensation of what I consider to be extraordinary, but in fact an ordinary and ordinary life? Will I also forget everything in my previous life after this life, be re-thrown into samsara, struggle to live again, and then die sooner or later?

Could that be the case?

It will be so...... Is it?

It will be so...... Yes!

It seems to have gained insight into the feeling of a lifetime, and it does not bring calmness, but - fear.

Yes, fear.

And the only thing that can dispel this fear is the white fox on the curtain that will secretly accompany the reincarnated boy in every life, solve the biggest crises for him, and then silently dance a fox dance for the reincarnated boy on the night of the reincarnated boy's cave room.

Perhaps, in my life, there is also such a white fox who silently guards me, just like on the stage, I don't know the protection she gave me, the dance she danced for my life, and even the fox that walked into my life.

But the cruelty of fate is vividly reflected on the stage.

After more than ten reincarnations, the young man was reincarnated as a tiger, a tiger who didn't know anything about his past, and most importantly, this tiger also embarked on the road of demon cultivation!

The white fox, who has been practicing for thousands of years, is still silently guarding the boy who was reincarnated as a tiger as in the previous lives, watching the demon power of the young man who was reincarnated as a tiger continue to rise, gradually growing into a powerful monster that dominates one side, and finally cultivated a human form, but just like the appearance of the young man at the beginning, what is hidden is a fierce and violent beast heart.

Finally, one day, the tiger demon discovered the existence of the white fox and launched an attack on the white fox because he coveted the white fox's Neidan.

The curtain of the shadow puppet show was removed, because one chased and one fled the two sides, and the battlefield was fought to the jungle thousands of years ago, although the forest has changed a lot, but the familiar mound of graves clearly proves where this is......

After thousands of years of protection, the white fox, who had transformed into a beautiful woman in white, was finally defeated by the tiger demon, and she was knocked to the ground.

Just like a thousand years ago, the Tiger Demon opened his mouth and threatened to try to get the White Fox to take the initiative to sacrifice the Inner Dan, because only in this way could he maximize the demonic power accumulated by the White Fox.

Unlike thousands of years ago, the white fox, who turned into a beautiful woman in white, agreed to this vicious request, and the only condition was - "Let me dance the fox dance for you." ”

The tiger demon was extremely puzzled, and he roared and asked the white fox to give an explanation, but the white fox just smiled at him, but did not say anything superfluous.

The tiger demon, who couldn't resist the temptation of the thousand-year-old Inner Dan, finally agreed to the white fox's request.

So, in front of the tomb that has lasted for thousands of years, the white fox with the appearance of a beautiful woman in white danced a light fox dance, and a slightly hoarse song sounded when she began to dance-

I am a fox who has loved for thousands of years

A thousand years of love, a thousand years of loneliness

Do you know who my red makeup is for in the long night

In the red dust, you know who my hair is combed for

I am a fox that has been waiting for a thousand years

A thousand years of waiting, a thousand years of helplessness

Love to the depths, watch me dance for you with beauty

When love hurts, listen to me pour out for you in song

Can you let me do a dance for you?

I am still the white fox who loved you thousands of years ago

How much spring goes to spring, morning and twilight

You are your fox for the rest of your life

Can you make me cry for love?

I'm still the same white fox for thousands of years

How much spring goes to spring, morning and twilight

In the next life, you will be your fox
