Chapter 901: Ghost Town

After the fireworks show ended, Li Ke and the others changed to a box with a better location.

The difference between the Huiyue Grand Theater and the Huiyue Theater renovated from the Huiyue Building in Chang'an City is that the Huiyue Grand Theater is completely in accordance with the theater model, and the relevant laws of sound propagation have been considered from the beginning of construction.

Its radio and other aspects are naturally more perfect, and in addition, this theater is also the only one in the entire Datang Sleepless City that uses other electrical appliances, that is, speakers.

After waiting here for about half an hour, the premiere of "Ghost Town" officially began!

Unlike before, this one has a lot more soundtracks, and because it's a new venue, there are more mechanisms under the stage, but these are all mechanical, and the response is a bit slow.

But it doesn't matter, as the world's first wave of audiences to enjoy stage plays, stage plays are still a new industry, and everyone has enough tolerance for it, and they naturally don't think there is anything wrong with it if they haven't been exposed to it.

The story of "Ghost Town" is actually very simple, Li Ke was inspired by the Anxi Army of the later generations of the Tang Dynasty, "The city is full of white hair, and you don't lose your sword when you die." "A lonely city for thousands of miles, full of white-haired soldiers."

The story of the ghost town unfolds from the perspective of a caravan shopkeeper, in the vast Western Regions, on the Silk Road, there is an abandoned city, Yangcheng.

There is a legend of a ghost town in the Western Regions, it is said that there are lonely souls and wild ghosts that eat people every night, and the city is dozens of miles in circumference, all of which are full of yellow sand, and there is no living thing.

And the shopkeeper of this caravan naturally knew this legend, and then on the way to the Western Regions, they suddenly encountered a huge sandstorm, and the yellow sand in the sky could engulf all people and goods, in order to avoid the yellow sand, they had to temporarily adjust their direction and step into the vast Gobi.

When the yellow sand hits, they lose their way and then inadvertently step into the abandoned city.

It's far away from the trade road, but fortunately there is still water in the well in the city, and there is not much yellow sand in this city, which makes them feel a little weird.

But in any case, they can only choose to rest here.

At night, the whole city suddenly changed, countless earth-shattering shouts sounded, and the shopkeepers of the caravan were frightened, thinking that they had encountered a ghost town, but what shocked them was that they met soldiers from the Central Plains.

They were still wearing the armor of the former Sui and holding swords and guns in their hands, and after seeing them, the other party did not embarrass them, but told them to quickly hide, saying that the Turks were coming.

For a while, the caravan was confused, thinking that it had really encountered a war between soldiers and Turks, and they could only help defend the city here.

Throughout the night, the shopkeeper of the caravan witnessed the fall of one Central Plains soldier after another, from forty to teenage boys, until the fish belly white appeared in the east.

The Turkic offensive was able to retreat.

The shopkeeper of the caravan approached the old and the young, two crippled soldiers, and then he heard the younger one asking the older one.

"Captain, did you say that the sun is far away or Chang'an is far away?"

"Melon cowardice, of course the sun is farther away, it's in the sky."

"Then captain, why do you say that you can see the sun when you look up, but you can't see Chang'an?"

That was the end of the conversation, for as the day dawned, the soldiers, who had been fighting all night, dissipated in front of them all. When the sun rose, they were still in front of the ruined city.

It seems that everything around has not changed, and everything seems to be stunned.

The caravan's keeper and the men in the caravan were so frightened that they replenished their water and quickly evacuated the ruined city.

But I don't know why, when I left, the shopkeeper always felt that something had been left here.

A year later, the shopkeeper of the caravan returned with a large amount of gold and silver treasures earned from the distant Great Eclipse, and as he passed near the ruined city, he thought of that night for some unknown reason.

What should have been extremely terrifying, but at the moment he was not afraid, just as the guide of the caravan said that there would be a storm tomorrow, and it was better to find a resting place.

The caravan keeper told the location, and he finally led the people back to the city again, despite all the controversy.

The city is still the same, and it seems that nothing has changed in the past year.

It's just that when night fell, the caravan people who had already prepared their hearts saw the shocking scene again, and the exact same scene returned to their eyes again.

They are still soldiers who fight hard, they seem to be tireless, they don't know how to toil, and they fight day after day.

At this moment, the caravan keeper burst into tears, he understood that these soldiers were all soldiers who died in battle, but after they died, they became heroic spirits, and their responsibility to protect the Central Plains in their bones has never been forgotten, even if they are dead, they have always insisted on fighting.

Even the Turkic ghosts who fought with them were actually formed by their influence.

When the familiar conversation between the old and the young rang out again, everything around them shattered like a dream.

Everyone in the caravan was stunned, and they all understood a lot, they didn't suffer any harm one night, but soldiers would run to tell them to hide and stay safe.

Even though they wore the armor of the previous dynasty, they never dared to forget their duty.

The caravan's keeper was a little frustrated, he wanted to change the situation, he wanted the souls of these veterans to rest in peace, not to repeat it day after day.

You know, the city has been in ruins and how many decades have passed!

They've been here all the time, and they've been circling and circling, and circling.

The caravan keeper persuaded everyone to stay here for a few days, and during the night, they tried every means to change the situation of these heroes, but to no avail, and the changes they made during the night were still the same the next day.

In the end, the caravan shopkeeper was ready to go back, he returned to the nearest Tang City, and then invited famous monks and famous Taoist priests to come here, trying to comfort the heroic spirits and tell them that the war was over, and the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful, and asked them to rest in peace.

But everything is useless, it seems that their dying obsession has been completely integrated into this land, and they stubbornly guard everything here.

In the end, the caravan shopkeeper suddenly heard that Datang wanted to re-establish a city here, and the caravan shopkeeper instantly had an idea, he used up his financial resources, met the Tang general, who had the right to decide, and then told the story to the Datang general.

The Tang General was moved when he heard this, and he decided to personally lead the army to restart this abandoned city!

When the Tang army came, everything at night came as promised, and all the Tang soldiers "witnessed" this scene and witnessed the appearance of these soldiers who had been dead for decades fighting for the country.

On the second day, the Tang Dynasty General comforted all the heroes stationed in the city with the highest military salute: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is here!" The army of the Central Plains Dynasty is coming! The Turks were defeated! ”

Tell those sacrificed ancestors and martyrs: "This prosperous world is as you wish!" ”

When the military flag of the Tang Dynasty fluttered in this city, the heroic spirit here never appeared again! This was followed by the clean-up of the city, which found a total of 1,132 bones of martyrs.

The caravan keeper told the Tang general that this was what they "saw" at night, all the defenders stationed in the city!
