Chapter 46: Asking for directions on the top of the head, stepping on the seven stars
Feng Yun nodded with satisfaction, the old man in front of him was obviously an expert, and he knew all the rules he should know, so he didn't need to say much.
In the Great Yan Country, although Baihutai is no longer very common in this era, as the old man said, when it is thirty or forty years back, it is especially common in some villages.
The most striking feature of this kind of stage is that there are only seats under the stage when singing, and the singing only starts in the middle of the night and closes at dawn.
If you go to the theater to listen to the theater now, you only need to pay attention to whether there are female actors in this theater troupe, and you can tell whether the theater troupe in this theater used to be a ghost theater troupe.
Because anyone who sings this kind of ghost show, it is also taboo to never accept women.
Therefore, there is no Tsing Yi Hua Dan in the ghost drama team, even if there are some dramas that need to have female roles, they are all played by men.
The old man quickly made a few phone calls, and in a few moments, several old men about his age arrived with different musical instruments.
The suona gongs and drums are very complete, and these old men don't know what they are muttering when they get together, but they will look at Feng Yun from time to time, their faces are quite strange, but because of Feng Yun's identity, they don't dare to look more.
The fat man and Yan Qilin quickly took out the things in the car one after another, and set up a temporary backstage on Longhua Road.
According to Feng Yun, there is no need to set up a stage for this scene, and this entire Longhua Road is where they sing.
In the evening, it coincides with the beginning of summer, and there are many people who go out for a walk in the cool, and they are inevitably attracted by the movement here when passing by.
If you go alone, few people feel that you come to Longhua Road to watch, but there are many people, and they are naturally courageous, so they gradually gather a lot of people.
Many people have been poking their heads out to look inside, and they are curious, why is this Longhua Road suddenly blocked again?
Still so lively?
During this period, they naturally also saw the fat man and Yan Qilin, holding some costumes and other things for singing, and there was an old opera troupe not far away, which was debugging musical instruments.
"What's the situation? Could it be that this place is ready to sing? ”
"The roads are all blocked, and people can't get in, so do you sing to the ghosts?"
The onlookers who didn't know why, you and I were discussing in a whisper, and these words were heard by Lin Feng in the crowd.
After Lin Feng learned that the poll bureau had blocked Longhua Road, he rushed over with the team members, but the military palace blocked it, even if they were the criminal division, they couldn't enter.
In desperation, Lin Feng and the others could only stand outside the blockade line like those people, wondering what was going on in Longhua Road.
When the fat man and Yan Qilin came back, it was already close to 9:30 in the evening, and with the preparations of all parties, it was soon close to 12 o'clock in the morning.
Longhua Road became cold again, which made many people who couldn't stand it leave one after another, of course, there were some people who had just gotten off the night shift and gathered here curiously, looking inside.
Seeing that it was almost time, Feng Yun called the fat man and Yan Qilin to a table on the side of the road, on which there were three porcelain bowls.
By the moonlight, the two of them could clearly see the liquid in the three porcelain bowls, as red as blood.
This made the fat man immediately recall that in the list that Feng Yun had given them before, there was a red-crowned rooster among the things that needed to be prepared.
And now the rooster is gone.
That's either stewed or slaughtered, and it's all going to end anyway.
"Director, what's this?"
The fat man pointed to the liquid in the bowl with some disgust and said, Feng Yun responded seriously:
"This is the exorcism wine, this is the rule to drink the exorcism wine before the ceremony begins, and then please pretend, please apparatus, let's start the show."
Saying this, Feng Yun picked up a bowl with both hands, and then drank it all.
Yan Qilin followed, but his expression was written with an indescribable pain.
The fat man obviously looked very difficult, but at this point, he had to grit his teeth and cross his heart, and then drank the chicken blood wine, and a sticky and nauseous feeling quickly churned in his body.
However, Feng Yun didn't give the fat man a chance to complain at all, and immediately motioned for the two to go and change their clothes, and then he took a brush and dipped it in cinnabar himself, painting a special face for the two.
And Feng Yun also changed into a red robe representing Zhong Kui during this period, with a seven-star sword hanging from his waist and a sword hammer in his hand.
After everything was ready, Feng Yun handed the fat man and Yan Qilin three incense sticks each, and the three of them lit the incense together and inserted it into the three incense burners.
The two followed suit, Feng Yun picked up the incense burner and put it on his head, as if he had received some signal, and the bands of the troupe began to beat gongs and drums tacitly at this moment.
With a loud suona sound, Feng Yun walked in the front, Yan Qilin and the fat man left and right.
The three of them asked Lu Xiang above their heads and stepped on the Seven Star Gang.
This step looked very strange, but the group of old men who formed the band nodded in admiration one after another, but they didn't expect this official to be an expert.
Feng Yun, who was walking in the forefront, smeared six coins of lard on the soles of his feet, and at this moment, he was accompanied by Zhong Kui, and he drew a leopard head ring and also pasted a veneer beard.
Dressed in a red round-necked robe and wearing an official hat, he really looked like the reincarnation of the Holy Monarch.
The fat man and Yan Qilin were accompanied by the left and right attendants respectively, and it is said that these two were Zhong Kui's sworn friends before his death, one was a Jiangyang thief, and the other was a talent of the same year.
Of course, in some places, these two are often replaced by inconsistencies.
In Longhua Road, the sound of gongs and drums and suona makes the hearts of people outside itch.
They desperately wanted to find out what was going on inside, but the soldiers were so well guarded that they didn't have this opportunity at all, and they couldn't see it at all.
Lin Feng was even more suspicious at the moment, this movement sounded like he was singing a big play.
But for some reason, the voice always sounded a little awkward and a little oozing.
"Yuan Shi'an Town, tell all souls. Yue is a true official, and the land is a spirit. The left and the right are not to be alarmed.
Return to the right path, internal and external clarification. Each is in a safe position, guarding the altar and court. The true monarch has a life, hunting for evil spirits.
Protector God King, Defend Chanting, Take Refuge in the Great Road, Yuan Henry Zhen ......"
Feng Yun's yin and yang cavity at this moment couldn't hear men and women at all, and between the melodious and tactful, there was an indescribable sense of gloom.
But with this land god spell, under Feng Yun's feet, Qixinggang's strength became heavier and heavier, and gradually began to change in the past 4 weeks.
First of all, there is a towering locust tree looming in the middle of the road, and then the unfinished buildings on both sides of the road have also become dense graves, overlapping with the unfinished buildings, like a mirage.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, the troupe owner immediately motioned for the others to close their eyes.
It is said that these ghost singers have experienced some strange events to a greater or lesser extent.
Therefore, in their unwritten rules, when encountering such a situation, they should try to turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear, and not be serious.
Even the flat-headed brother who was hiding on the side of the road looked around in astonishment at the moment, and he naturally recognized that whether it was this locust tree or a tomb, it only existed in the land of extreme yin, that is, the yin house.
But now, this extremely yin place is actually looming in the yang world......
