Chapter 86: The Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers
The Heavenly Maiden scatters flowers, which is the festival drama prepared by Guihe Ban for the Bon Festival!
The plot of this play is relatively simple, and the plot is to the effect that the Buddha of the Western Heaven opened his eyes and knew that the Vimal monk appeared in the city of Viya to speak the Dharma, and unfortunately contracted an illness, so he ordered Manjushri to lead the Bodhisattvas and disciples to ask questions and listen to the wonderful Dharma. He also ordered Garan to spread the decree to the Xiangguo, and sent the chief leader of the group of flowers and celestial maidens to Vimo to scatter flowers to test whether the Bodhisattvas and disciples were practicing. The Heavenly Maiden led the flower slaves, carrying a treasure basket full of immortal flowers, riding the wind and controlling the air, traveling through the world and enjoying the beautiful scenery of heaven and earth. As a result, the basket is scattered, and it suddenly becomes a colorful and colorful realm. After dispersing, return to life.
In this play, there are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, laymen, goddesses, and disciples of the Buddhist family, the original intention is to persuade the world to ignite, awaken people and demons, and stage it in the Obon Festival, which is really suitable, and it can be said that the word "should" in the festival play is vividly and vividly reflected.
As mentioned above, in the Li and Tang dynasties, although Taoism was Buddhism, its influence among the people was still inferior to Buddhism.
This point is more prominent in Zhenzhou.
Perhaps because the three towns of Heshuo have experienced more than 100 years of war, the people here are more eager to look forward to reincarnation.
Leave aside other places for the time being, at least in Zhenzhou, this is the case.
Since he had a long talk with Li Sirui on the seventh day of the new year, and had a detailed plan to complete the task, Yang Fenglou needs to make the Peking Opera of the Guihe class more powerful after the performance in Zhenzhou, so in combination with the situation in Chengde Zhenzhou, Yang Fenglou is ready to step up the rehearsal of a "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers".
Seven days to arrange a new play, it is very difficult, fortunately, there are not many lyrics in the scene of "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", more of a confession, the most important thing is the figure and water sleeves of the two scenes of "Cloud Road" and "Scattered Flowers", which is not a small challenge for Nie Yijin, who can dance the soft whip and sweep the lanterns, but it is not impossible to complete.
Even so, Gui Heban has been urged by Yang Fenglou to jump in the past two days.
Today is the day of the official performance, and it can be said that success or failure is here!
"The Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" begins with two Arhats dancing together, and then, the Four Clouds, the Eighteen Arhats, the Four Vajra, the Four Emperors, the Garbasket, the Seven Bodhisattvas, Manjushri, the Dapeng Bird, and the Wei Dao gods are the guides.
This time on the field, it will take the lead!
The Buddha sits high and sits, many Bodhisattva Arhats stand in two compartments, like the stars holding the moon, whether Bodhisattva or Arhat, are solemn, the Buddha is completely dressed up according to the description of the Buddhist scriptures, really like the Buddha in the world.
The audience was scattered, and it exploded at that time!
Many spectators exclaimed again and again, and there were constantly people proclaiming the Buddha's name, and even devout believers left their seats directly, bowing three times and knocking nine times!
In the box on the second floor, the four sons looked stupid.
"Amitabha, it can't be the Buddha who came into the world!? Li Liu, you have to make it clear to me, this is ...... This...... Are you the troupe you invited, or the Buddhas of the Western Heavens?"
Although Lu Sixteen is casual by nature, he is an out-and-out Buddhist believer, as soon as he saw the Buddha appear, he couldn't sit still anymore and got up directly, but his only remaining reason kept reminding him that this was just acting, and he couldn't take it seriously, but he still asked Li Gongzi.
Li Gongzi and Cui Qigongzi smiled bitterly at each other.
"This 'good', but it's really enough to see......"
On the stage, if you come to speak.
"The sun is high, I just meditate on the Putuo Cliff,
Save the living, Tzu Yun Hongzhan.
His flying King Kong, his eyes shimmering three thousand,
Listen to my way, and the full moon is coming. ”
As soon as he heard this charming singing, Lu Sixteen finally let out a long breath,
"It's acting, it's acting...... It scared the hell out of me......"
As he spoke, he sat down again, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and drank all the tea in it, even the tea leaves.
Li Gongzi hurriedly poured him another cup of tea, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know what they are going to play...... Otherwise, I would have reminded you a long time ago, come, drink tea, suppress shock, suppress shock......"
Zheng Jing, who was in black next to him, smiled, "It seems that there are really masters in this troupe, listening to these two sentences, this wording, this soundtrack, it's really just right...... Lu Gongzi, if you don't dislike it for a while, you can find this person, this person's Buddha nature is not shallow......"
"Really?" Lu Sixteen listened, and didn't care about anything else, watched the play carefully, and silently recited the lyrics, "That's really the case...... Okay, I'll meet this master ...... later."
No one spoke in the box, and the four sons all began to listen attentively.
The audience in the scattered seats on the first floor also gradually reacted, not in the noisy, huge Dehe Building, only the voice of Guihe class, and there was no sound!
The on-stage performance continues.
After the Buddha withdrew, the goddess came on the field, received the Buddha's decree from Jialan, and went to Viya to leave the city, ready to scatter flowers.
Subsequently, it was a "cloud road" fold.
"The auspicious clouds are rising,
Left the country of incense and traveled through the world.
The world is like a light smoke passing by,
In an instant, he came to Bi Yanbo again.
Qingyuan Zhiyue is boundless, and Huiye is super bright and not immortal. Illusion of solemnity, compassion subtle and natural ......"
"Cloud Road" folds, showing the charming scenery that the Heavenly Maiden saw along the way when she left the country of incense and went to Viye to leave the city, and sighed the wonderful landscape of the world.
Nie Yijin played the goddess, singing and dancing on the stage, three zhang long and short colored silk, with her dancing, constantly flying up and down, really like a fairy Lingbo, that graceful posture, that light dance, so that the audience is fascinated, if it is not for the "Buddha's present life" experience, I am afraid that there will be unknown audience bows.
"Guanyin's full moon face beads are wonderful,
There are good talents and dragon maidens standing in two boxes.
The eaves of the Bodhi tree are covered with thousands of branches,
White parrots and fairy islands fly up and down.
The green willow branches are sprinkled with nectar on the three thousand worlds,
It's as if I scattered the pollen from the sky and fell in all directions.
The eyes are full of wonderful scenery and immortals,
Urging Xiangyun to drive Rui Xing to the Buddha field. ”
Eight sentences of anti-Xipi Allegro, singing that is called a pearl falling on the jade plate, listening to Dede and the people in the building, that is called a fascination.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Maiden ended, and the eyes of many viewers kept staring at Nie Yijin's back, and many people couldn't wait to tear the curtain of the "phase" door, just because he blocked his sight from watching the fairy!
"This song should only exist in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times...... Sure enough, it's a fairy!"
Zheng Jing made full use of a sentence from Du Fu's "Gift of Flowers", which can be regarded as speaking everyone's hearts, and there was silence in the box, and many sons were reminiscing about the demeanor of the fairy just now.
"Just in a hurry, there is such a graceful dance, I really don't know what to do when the flowers are scattered? hehe...... I'm looking forward to the master behind the fairy now, and I'm sure I'll see you later!"
After Zheng Jing finished speaking, Lu Sixteen rarely echoed: "Go together, go together." ”
Everyone was chatting, but their eyes were always staring at the stage, waiting to see the follow-up part of "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", but they found that a steward of Guihe's class came to the stage, and the fairy had already disappeared.
The expected fairy is gone, and a steward man comes up, no matter how you look at it, they are all thieves with eyebrows and rat eyes, and their faces are hateful, and the people in the box are fine, and the scattered guests in the audience are clamoring for a while, and they have asked the fairy to come to the stage.
The steward of Guihe's class is the loach, and he is not in a hurry, so he listens to the scolding of the audience happily, until the voice is a little quieter, and then he happily hugs his fists.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now I arranged a small drama specially arranged by my Guihe class for the festival, everyone said, okay?"
"Good ......"
There was a sudden shout and tsunami cheers from the audience.
Loach is a pleasure.
"Below, my Guihe class will present a big show for everyone, which is guaranteed to be more exciting!"
The audience suddenly stopped doing it, and they all shouted and scolded, and finally gathered into one sentence, "We want to see the fairy!"
The loach was not in a hurry, and laughed.
"Don't hide it from you, "The Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" does have a second half, but it won't be performed today! If you want to watch it, please be early tomorrow!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the audience, and turned around and stepped down.
In the box, several sons were so angry that their faces darkened.
Lu Sixteen slapped the table hard.
"Sure enough!"
"This ...... This...... This is a good master, how can he learn to be so full of copper smell......!? This...... It's humiliating!"
Zheng Jing almost scolded.
Li Gongzi was also very annoyed, and just wanted to scold, but suddenly realized that this Dehelou was his own business, and he was immediately refreshed, and asked a little proudly: "Hehe...... Don't talk about this, I just ask you, tomorrow, are you still coming to the show?"
Before Zheng Jing could speak, Lu Sixteen burst into a loud shout.
"Of course come, don't come, don't come, that's a fool!"
