Probably because of the fright of the monster rebellion in Lingzhou City, there are still shadows in the nightmare of the city. Whether it is the powerful gentry or the small people, taking advantage of the overlap of the Shehuo Festival and the Lantern Festival, every household is hung with all kinds of colorful lanterns at night.

In addition, there are a large number of wealthy households enthusiastically donate the lantern festival, starting from the sixth day of the first month, the spring flags are clustered with colors, the spring lanterns are gradually flourishing, there are precious pearl lanterns transported from Fuzhou, and there are local leather lanterns, silk lanterns, paper lanterns, yarn lanterns in Lingzhou.

As in previous years, there are also various fairy stories painted on the lampshade, and two types of stories are enthusiastically sought after.

One is the story of the heavenly master catching ghosts, and the other is the story of the bodhisattva bowing his eyebrows and compassionate to all sentient beings.

This reflects everyone's hope that the gods will bless and be safe.

Ying Ning likes to look at the lamp, so Qin Chuan asked Wang Fu to buy a good white paper lantern to send, he waved his pen and ink, did not write fairy stories, the sky, the earth, the mountains, the river, grass, wood, insects, fish, etc., are all into the lampshade exquisite paintings, but also inscribed a lot of lamp poems, considering that Ying Ning has not yet begun to read, but also read to her a few times.

It's just that she doesn't understand the meaning of those verses yet, but she thinks they sound good.

Yuhu and Bingyan came over to play with Youning on Chinese New Year's Eve for a while and left. During the New Year's Festival, they are very busy, not to mention the land gods.

The society of the fire has the meaning of the god of the land.

This Shehuo Festival, it finally became famous in Lingzhou City, and settled down in the future, solving problems for believers, bless the new year with a bumper harvest, and the incense will never be less.

At night, inside and outside Lingzhou City, the lights and stars look at each other, as if Lingzhou City has also become a galaxy. The Great Liang Dynasty already had gunpowder, which originated from Taoist alchemy and was unintentionally discovered. Nowadays, it has not been used on a large scale in weapons, but it is often used by tricksters who walk the rivers and lakes among the people, and things like fireworks are gradually promoted in the prosperous places of the southeast.

But it's still a rarity.

This time, the wealthy families of Lingzhou City invested heavily in buying a large number of fireworks from all over the surrounding area, which began to bloom in the night sky from the sixth day of the new year.

Yingning, Qingqing, and Huangsha are all the first to see such a grand scene, especially Yingning, when they see the fireworks, they are more happy than seeing the lights.

Before I knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first month.

After the New Year's Eve, this lively social fire and lantern festival will subside.

Tonight will be the last revelry.

In the morning, Qin Chuan took Ying Ning and Qingqing out.

First to the northern suburbs of the land temple outside the square, after the mass grave was bulldozed, the northern suburbs gradually became lively, many outsiders poured into the city, to see all kinds of scenery, but the locals of Lingzhou are used to seeing those, have to go out, the land temple, the marriage temple because of the adjacent, but therefore benefit from each other.

Because you worship the land first and seek wealth in the coming year, you can go to the marriage temple next to you to ask about marriage.

In the square in front of the temple, there are many performers, Ying Ning likes to watch the boy beat the Taiping drum and dance the white rope, and Qingqing is to watch the somersault, kick the altar, and kick the ladder.

Because the northern suburbs have always been sparsely populated, the square is large enough, and there is a lot of traffic, so the shops and small vendors prepared all the goods early and opened all night.

It's okay during the day, but at night, there are more people, almost comparable to the inner city.

Anyone who comes here can't remember that there used to be a mass grave next to it. Even if you know, you don't care, in most places where there are many people, demons and ghosts don't dare to do anything, not to mention that there are two temples here, the land god and the marriage god.

After playing until the afternoon, Qin Chuan took Ying Ning back to the manor first, and after the hour, it was the most lively time for the Lantern Festival.

Because tonight, the recently famous living Guanyin will come to the square in front of the land temple to sing, and there is a fireworks stand in the middle of the square, which is one zhang high, ready to set off fireworks at night to illuminate the stage.

Living Guanyin was originally from Suzhou, not a daughter, but a man. He is a master of contemporary opera, integrating the tunes of the north and the south, creating a new euphemistic and beautiful singing tone, known as "water mill tune", this kind of singing is like the water mill bamboo ware and water mill rice cake of the Jiangnan people, which is as delicate and soft as water.

In recent years, the living Guanyin has become more and more famous, and even the gods have his fans.

When he came to Lingzhou Mansion to take the stage, it naturally caused a great sensation.

Many people from other places came to participate in the Shehuo Festival and Lantern Festival, and there were many people who admired the Living Guanyin.

In the evening, it is crowded.

Qin Chuan took Ying Ning to the roof of the land temple next to him.

He studied the Taoist technique of the man in Tsing Yi to hide in the void, and combined with the breathing technique, the Taoist technique was displayed with the Yuan Shen, and Ying Ning and Qingqing were hidden outside the lights below, blending into the night.

Soon after they came, the living Guanyin took the stage with the Guanyin veil.

The title of the opera sung is "Guanyin Fish Basket", and the content is:

In the previous dynasty, Zhang Zhen and Jin Peony's parents were married, and the two grew up eighteen years later. Zhang Zhen was ordered by his father to go to the Jin Mansion to recognize his relatives, and Jin Peony's father, Jin Chong, left Zhang Zhen to study in the mansion, and then married when the title of the Jin Bang was named. The East China Sea Golden Thread Carp saw that Zhang Zhen was both talented and good-looking, and changed into a golden peony, and went to the library at night to have a private relationship with Zhang Zhen, and made the law make the real peony seriously ill, and eloped with Zhang Zhen. After being recovered, the Jin Pet family couldn't tell the truth of the two peonies, so they had to ask a righteous Qing official to solve the case and capture the demon. The carp spirit escaped by capturing the real peony first, and was defeated by the heavenly master of Longhu Mountain on the way, and was put into the fish basket by Guanyin on the way to escape. After the carp essence was exempted from death, he took refuge in Buddhism, and finally cultivated into a fish basket Guanyin.

The content is roughly the same as the Guanyin Fish Basket that Qin Chuan has seen in modern times, but the details are different, the Qing official he originally read was Bao Zheng, and the carp spirit was sent by the Jade Emperor to defeat the Eight Immortals on the way to escape.

However, the little carp essence alarmed the Jade Emperor, and also sent the eight immortals to arrest it, quite a bit of a feeling of killing mosquitoes with a knife, not to mention letting the carp essence escape, and finally Guanyin put it into the fish basket.

It's hard to explain.

Whether it's what he's reading in modern times, or what he's seeing now, the story is lackluster.

However, the living Guanyin lives up to its reputation, under its exquisite drama, vividly shows a picture of the life of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the long, soft, and wonderful opera voice, and condenses the elegance, softness and softness of the southeast culture, and the words are poetic, especially the delicate love between the carp essence and Zhang Sheng, which is embodied in the vulgar but not charming, elegant but not colorful.

But Ying Ning listened drowsily, she was looking forward to it in vain, it was not as fun as spitting fire.

Qingqing was fascinated, and she thought to herself, if there was Guanyin, it would be good to let her cultivate a Tianluo Guanyin.

She still hasn't made substantial progress in her cultivation.

At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, Ying Ning had enough fun, and Qin Chuan took her home.

When Qingqing was washing Ying Ning, someone came outside the village. The gate was also hung with lanterns, and the person who shone out under the firelight was an elegant middle-aged man, followed by two retinues, quite a bit of martial arts.

"Boss Wei?"

The middle-aged man is the living Guanyin, the common family name is Wei, and the name is Liangye.

Living Guanyin was a little surprised, "Qin Xianggong actually recognizes me?" ”

He was wearing the costume of Guanyin on the stage, and his figure looked like a woman, and he got off the stage, took off his makeup, and was completely two people on stage.

"Doesn't Boss Wei recognize me too? Please come in. ”

Qin Chuan invited Guanyin to the side hall of the manor and sat down.

He asked: "Boss Wei, we don't know each other, you came late at night, there must be something." ”

Wei Liangye: "Dare to ask Liu Yichuan if it was done by Qin Xianggong?" ”

"Exactly."

Wei Liangye praised: "Qin Xianggong is a great talent, and he actually wrote such a romantic and bizarre story. Xiao Ke had a reluctant request, and wanted to ask Qin Xianggong to make it into an opera, as for the remuneration, Qin Xianggong said that the number was. ”

Qin Chuan: "Boss Wei came late at night, is that why?" ”

Wei Liangye: "It was supposed to be a visit during the day, but unfortunately I was entangled in mundane affairs, so I could only visit late at night. ”

Although Qinchuan is known as the first genius in Lingzhou, Wei Liangye is famous in the north and south of the river, and is recognized as a master of opera, and there are many princes and princes, as supporters, even if the governor of Yujiang is such a feudal official, he can also speak, and when he goes to the divine capital, he is indispensable to be sought after by the powerful.

What Qin Chuan didn't know was that Wei Liangye still had the background of the academy.

The academy has the inheritance of hundreds of sons, and among the hundreds of sons in ancient times, there was a sage, incarnated as a good man, who sneaked into the palace to persuade the king to talk and laugh and persuade the king.

Wei Liangye took the place in the academy.

With his status and status, he is so polite to Qin Chuan, in addition to being so humble himself, it is actually for Liu Yichuan to adapt the opera.

Adapting Liu Yi's biography into an opera is indeed easier to promote.

Qin Chuan also thought of one thing, and had an idea in his heart, "It is not difficult to adapt Liu Yi's biography into opera, in fact, when I wrote this story, I already had the idea of opera in my heart." ”

"Really? That's great. Wei Liangye was overjoyed.

Qin Chuan's words changed, "But there are two requirements below. ”

"Qin Xianggong, please say, as long as it is possible to do it, I must do it."

"In the next general to go out for a long trip, there is still a good horse that can go long distances, Boss Wei walks in all directions all the year round, I want to come to this aspect of the very eye, I want to ask Boss Wei to ......"

"It's good to say, our troupe has good horses, if Qin Xianggong doesn't like it, I will transfer it from elsewhere, it is an official horse, and I can also think of a way for you." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Qin Chuan would make some rude request, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter.

The puzzle is ahead.

He held his breath and waited for Qin Chuan to make a second request.

"So very good, the second requirement in the next is that I want to ask Boss Wei to perform a performance in the next year, once in January, to marry the right man, I don't know if Boss Wei has seen this story?"

Wei Liangye didn't expect that Qin Chuan would ask him to sing a designated play in January. Most of the operas he sings are mainly Shinto-oriented, even if there are those involving love, most of them are stories of talented and beautiful women, and the title of the gold list, and he rarely gets involved.

The story of marrying the right man in the wrong sedan chair, he has seen it, there is no set of Shinto education in it, let alone a common story of talented and beautiful women, but this story is really attractive, after reading it, not only the two heroines of Bingyan Yuhu, but also other characters are in their minds, lingering and unforgettable.

It's just this kind of opera, he really hasn't tried it.

People tend to be more afraid than curious about things they haven't tried before.

He was a little embarrassed: "I can't hide it, I haven't tried this kind of opera, I'm afraid that I can't sing well and smash the signboard, it's better for Qin Xianggong to make up a good repertoire, I'll let a few disciples try it first?" ”

Qin Chuan thought to himself that if your disciple came, the effect would not be so good.

If you want to marry the right man in the wrong sedan chair to expand your influence and add more marriage incense to the Yuhu Ice Goose, you have to have Wei Liangye, a superstar similar to modern kings.

He smiled and said: "There are great achievers, there is no shortage of determination to break the shackles of predecessors, if Boss Wei just wants to be a contemporary master, this matter will be stopped, if you want to be famous for eternity and remembered by future generations, can it really be done by relying on Shinto education stories like Guanyin Fish Basket?" To be honest, the sister listened to Boss Wei's singing before, and she fell asleep. Children don't like it, do adults really like this story, it's nothing more than Boss Wei's joke, even if you change the story, adults love to listen to it, but that's all. ”

These words poked Wei Liangye's heart, his drama was the best in the world, but he always felt that he was missing a masterpiece of famous songs.

When he saw the story of Liu Yi's biography, he was like a treasure, and he asked someone to inquire around, only to know that it was made by Qin Chuan, the first genius in Lingzhou.

Now it seems that the wrong sedan chair to marry the right man is also the work of the other party.

Whether it is Liu Yichuan or the wrong sedan chair, they are all out of the previous people's stump (kē jiù).

Wei Liangye was silent.

Qin Chuanfu said slowly: "This is exactly what Boss Wei has always been like a fool, why can't he get out of it so far, how can he be self-righteous?" ”

This is a passage from Zhu Xi, a great Confucian in the science of Qin Chuanhua.

Wei Liangye was half a scholar, and he was shocked when he heard this.

Qin Chuan said again: "Shimen Shinto is indoctrinated, and it is still in the trap of people's desires, it is called sacred, but it is actually vulgar, why can't Boss Wei take it off?" ”

After all, Wei Liangye wanted to become a family, thinking that he was immortal.

If you want to be immortal, you can't follow your predecessors.

"What Qin Xianggong said is very true, Xiao Ke can be taught."

He was not enlightened by Qin Chuan, but faced up to the desire in his heart to leave an immortal name, and only by facing the role of human desire can he become holy and establish an immortal name.

In fact, this is quite contrary to the science of the world.

However, Wei Liangye walked in all directions, saw the world, and realized the principles of the world in his heart, which are inseparable from human desires.

He is not orthodox in science, and naturally he does not care about the dogma of science.

It's just that the rules of etiquette and religion should be strictly observed, which is the way of life.

Everyone is like this, you have to be a maverick, that's not good.

Qin Chuan's words had a rather clear effect on him.

To be honest, he sang and vomited in the play of Guanyin in the fish basket.

"Don't dare, this is just a little stupid and shallow in the next point, Boss Wei has an understanding, that is also your own enlightenment, even if you don't say these words, you will still take this road in the future, it is nothing more than sooner or later."

Wei Liangye: "Qin Xianggong's demeanor seems to be a little incompatible with the Xianxue of this world, I don't know who the teacher is?" ”

Qin Chuan: "I don't dare to say that there is any teacher, and acting under the background is nothing more than 'nature is the sect' and 'learning is self-satisfied'." I think that although the world is big, there is a thought of goodness and a conscience, although ordinary people can be sages. ”

Although Wei Liangye is very famous, his status in singing is still only the ninth rate, and others praise him, but they also despise him.

Qin Chuan's words really spoke to his heart.

"Qin Xianggong is like the sea, but he doesn't want to say this outside."

Regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, heretics are often more odious than heretics. Among them, only the Daomen are slightly better, because the Daomen does not have a monopoly situation.

Laoshan Mountain and Longhu Mountain have been fighting for thousands of years, and no one dares to say that they are the first major sect of Taoism.

However, the power of the Daomen has always been wary of those in power, because there are many examples of Daomen rebelling and sweeping the world in history.

Buddhism is just occupying land and encircling the population.

Daomen rebelled several times, but they almost overthrew a unified dynasty.

Therefore, in the Great Liang Dynasty, the control of Taoism was extremely strict, but it gave Buddhism room to develop and grow, and there were many believers among the people.

But it still can't be compared with the previous generation of Heavenly Master Dao and Taiping Dao.

In all dynasties, the country was destroyed by weakness, and only the Tianhan died by strength.

With the strength of the Tianhan Dynasty, in the last years, it can also suppress the surrounding alien races, but when the Taiping Road is in trouble, most of the world has fallen, and the smoke is everywhere.

Directly dug the grave for Tianhan.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "It's also some nonsense, I don't recognize it when I get out of this door." ”

Wei Liangye couldn't help but smile, he felt that Qin Chuan was a little crazy, but it was precisely because of this that Qin Chuan had a true temperament.

In his view, people have no temperament and should not have deep friendships with them.

In the wind and dust, there are many temperamental people, and in the rivers and lakes, there are often children who are long.

He is half a scholar, and half a Jianghu person.

Qinchuan is also a bit of a Jianghu atmosphere.

If Qin Chuan knew his thoughts, he would definitely laugh at him, he had experienced more rivers and lakes than Wei Liangye had seen.

That's the real rivers and lakes, the kind that wants to die.

"Boss Wei has something to do tomorrow?"

"Even if there is something, for the sake of Qin Xianggong's side, he can shirk it."

"Then I'll come to you tomorrow with the manuscript."

"Okay, is one night enough?"

"That's enough, the draft is ready, if you're not satisfied, I'll polish it again."

"With Qin Xianggong's talent, Xiao Ke proposed to put his beak, wouldn't it be smiling and generous, and Xiao Ke would wait at the Dragon King Temple tomorrow. Qin Xianggong can come at any time. ”

"Okay." Qin Chuan thought to himself, look at how knowledgeable Boss Wei is, a certain old dragon, uneducated, and likes to point fingers at the manuscripts he writes.

If it weren't for the dragon scale fruit, he wouldn't have served.

So Qin Chuan sent Wei Liangye out.

Then he called Qingqing, added fragrance to his red sleeves, and wrote a book at night.

This time, he used his pen to be distracted.

While writing the opera of marrying the right man in the wrong sedan chair, he also wrote the opera of Liu Yichuan.

He changed the name of Liu Yichuan and called it "Crystal Palace." ”

After writing it, a light came up in his heart, why not give Yuhu and Bingyan another story.

Yuhu is the peach blossom girl, he wrote a story of the peach blossom, with the country and the family as the background, wrote a rather chivalrous story, the peach blossom is also mixed with the original form of the white-haired witch, it is heartwarming to read, impressive.

As for the ice goose, it is the red luan lady. He wrote a story and opera based on the matchmaker of Yingying.

I hope that when he returns from his study tour, after the fermentation and spread of these stories, the incense of the marriage temple can be greatly improved.

In the end, Qin Chuan also wrote the Qingyu case as the end of the Lantern Festival.

He sang this song to Qing Qing during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't write it, because it was not a Mid-Autumn Festival. Now the timing is right, and it happens to be before the study tour, and he will publish it in Ming Pao tomorrow, which can once again consolidate his position as the first talent in Lingzhou.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain......"
