Chapter Ninety-Three: The Drama Divides Yin and Yang
"Nanzhifang is gone."
Mei Sijun's first sentence was unexpected.
"Except for the old opera troupe in Fucheng, no one can find the old site." Mei Sijun's complexion changed slightly, "It's a taboo, and I only knew a thing or two about it when I heard my father's chatter." ”
"Just now I dreamed of Nanzhifang a hundred years ago, it was a winter day, heavy snowfall, close to the end of the year, the pillar of Nanzhifang committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, and the class owner Zhao Qigong found a group of newcomers and prepared to regroup......"
He closed his eyes slightly, and spoke eloquently.
This dream doesn't seem to be long, and it doesn't reveal much information, but as he tells it, everyone's mind gradually has the impression of an old opera troupe.
"The fat boss Wang Youde fell in love with the newcomer and called Zhao Qigong, Zhao Qigong said that there were six newcomers, I don't know which one he wanted......"
He shut up and opened his eyes to look at everyone: "The dream ends here." ”
Zhao Qigong, the head of Nanzhifang, two lustful businessmen, greedy for money, fat and thin, Yu Ji, a pillar of Tsing Yi who committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, the overlord who is missing, and the new amazing actor......
"Judging from your dream, it was the Tsing Yi who committed suicide by throwing himself into a well that was causing trouble." Chen Zhiyuan said.
"Excuse me, you said that modern Nanzhifang is a taboo in your industry, why?" The handsome old man Mirin asked aloud.
Mei Sijun looked at him and slowly explained: "An opera is quiet and can pass ghosts and gods. The second is that in the past, the drama was humble, often died unexpectedly, Gu was resentful, and his soul did not disperse after death, wandering in the theater. ”
"Therefore, the opera troupe usually worships the immortals in order to seek peace and drive away the yin energy."
"My ancestors worship the Huaguang Patriarch, who is the three-eyed horse prince in folklore."
He paused, stopped talking, and listened carefully to the footsteps, which turned out to be the owner of the café who had brought tea.
It's also difficult for him, except for the matsutake chicken soup, the others are really sent to make up.
After he left, Mei Sijun took a sip of jasmine leaves to moisten his throat, and continued: "Other opera troupes also have their own offerings, but Nanzhifang never worships immortals, and not only that, this troupe also accepts yin operas. ”
"Shadowy?"
Xinxin's eyes widened and she looked at Mei Sijun curiously.
Mei Sijun nodded slightly and explained: "There are men and women, and the drama is divided into yin and yang. As I said just now, opera is quiet and quiet, and it is the most popular among ghosts, and some people from large families have passed away, and they often invite opera troupes to sing day and night. Singing for the living during the day, and ...... at night It is sung for the dead. ”
Seeing that everyone seemed to be completely unfamiliar with this yin drama, Mei Sijun briefly introduced a few words:
"To sing yin opera, you must first worship the immortal gods worshiped by your own family, and then find a young actor who is healthy, if you are weak, you will be weak, and the yin ghosts are easy to be entangled, and there can be no women, the old society thinks that women are unclean, and they will collide with the ancestors of yin ghosts."
"There is a set of rituals before the stage, and before the third watch, the main family will do it, and the offerings will be offered, and the ancestors from the family will be invited, and the ghosts of the road will not be driven away."
"As soon as the third watch arrives, except for the theater troupe, all the living people will leave the stage, go back to the house and close the doors and windows, and can't come out and walk around."
"After the third watch, the opera troupe will start singing, the drama is the love of the deceased, there are empty tables and chairs under the stage, and white rice with chopsticks inserted on the table is sung until the fourth watch."
"During the period of birth, dan, purity, end, ugliness, singing, reading, doing, fighting, all the procedures are the same, less will anger the yin ghosts, the light will suffer bad luck, the worst is a serious illness or even direct death."
"On the fourth watch, the play will be stopped, the main family will open the door to take the deceased home, and the whole process will not be able to talk to the people of the troupe, and they will leave everything to the sixth watch."
Rao is Mei Sijun has said it simply and clearly enough, but it still makes people have a headache and brain fever when they hear it.
There are so many strange rules, many of which are unnecessary in the eyes of modern people.
But in their eyes, maybe it was one of the things that went wrong that led to the ultimate game?
It's a weird story that has wiped out players at least four times......
And even Yang, who has the most seniority, has never heard of the strange story of [Huangquan Opera], which means that it has not been selected and executed by the strange talk game for a long time, and players of this generation do not know that this strange story exists.
"My head is already starting to hurt," let me out and slumped in my chair, "Is it a female ghost who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, or did she not worship the fairy god and attract evil spirits?" ”
"Maybe there was a mistake in the process of the troupe's singing of Yin opera, or something that shouldn't have been attracted when singing...... Ahhh Sick of it! Zhong Xueran also looked helpless.
Shen Ji had been listening silently, and after listening to Mei Sijun's speech, he suddenly asked, "But Mr. Mei, you still haven't said what happened to Nanzhifang in the end." ”
Mei Sijun was silent for a moment, looked at the tea in the cup, and said, "What else?" It's been a hundred years, and it's naturally dead. ”
"Just ......"
He didn't seem to know how to continue.
"There is no basis for this, I heard it from my father."
He did some foreshadowing first.
Yang looked at him, "Please just say it." ”
Mei Sijun and Yang glanced at each other and nodded: "It's just that to this day, among the few remnants of the old opera troupes in Fucheng, you can occasionally hear Nanzhifang's best tricks...... Farewell my concubine. ”
"When the night arrives at the third watch, when the time passes, there will be babbling and singing endlessly, such as crying and complaining, which is creepy."
When the words fell, everyone fell silent for a while.
"It's a ghost in a theater." Chen Zhiyuan said in a low voice.
"By the way, the strange talk requirement is to go to Nanzhifang in three days, as you said, Nanzhifang is gone, where is its old site?" Chen Zhiyuan continued to ask.
Mei Sijun's hand picking up the teacup suddenly stopped, and then he said something that no one expected......
"The Nanzhifang Theater of the year is now under the name of my Mei family, in the old house in the western suburbs of Fucheng."
Mei Sijun seemed to have expected everyone's reaction like this, and slowly explained: "Zhao Qigong, the last class leader of Nanzhifang, was buried by my grandfather. ”
"Over the years, except for a monthly cleaning, that place has long been uninhabited."
After Mei Sijun finished speaking, he still looked slow and reasonable, and even continued to drink tea in a leisurely manner.
But everyone has more or less understood why the person who dreamed was him, and not someone else.
This young man, who is so beautiful that he transcends gender, has a temperament that is incompatible with his peers.
He seems to be trying his best to blend in with the world, but he seems clumsy and abrupt.
As if he had been born from the day he was born...... You shouldn't be living in this era.
"That's a good thing, at least we don't have to waste time looking for Nanzhifang." Chen Zhiyuan said.
"Other than that, guys." Yang suddenly changed the topic, and his gaze swept over everyone one by one, "Why didn't the word game be mentioned in the opening speech and game requirements this time?" ”
