Weird Talker

Chapter 107 Half a Story
"It's for this purpose."

Qin Manjiang said in a deep voice.

He was also a little anxious in his heart. Seeing that the night was about to pass, things were getting weirder and weirder, but they didn't know anything about what happened.

At this moment, with the help of this Miss Lin, there is finally some progress.

But seeing this Miss Lin pointing her hand casually, a pavilion appeared at the bottom of the quiet and cold well, but it looked too new and spotless.

"Go over there and talk."

Qin Manjiang nodded in response, and followed her to the pavilion.

At this time, he was still looking back, but on the way there, except for the two paper figurines holding white lanterns, there were no other members of the theater troupe.

After coming down from the same well, could it be that they entered a different space...

Qin Manjiang thought about it.

At this time, Lin Yanqing suddenly said, "Do you know Yin and Yang people?"

Qin Manjiang was startled, and subconsciously thought that Miss Lin was talking about something weird.

But after thinking about it, the word in this era, or even an earlier era, seems to refer specifically to... intersex people?

He nodded: "I know."

Lin Yanqing saw that his expression was unaffected, so he continued: "He is a hermaphrodite."

he?
Qin Manjiang knew that Lin Yanqing was referring to the actor who "throwing himself into a well" in the legend.

"His name is Li Yunxiu, and he is a man, but his body is not entirely that of a man."

Qin Manjiang nodded, already knowing something in his heart.

Not to mention a hundred years ago, even in modern society, there are still some sayings circulating in some remote areas. Because of the lack of understanding of medicine, androgynous people are easily connected with ghosts and gods, thinking that their abnormalities are punishments from gods.

Hermaphroditism is a disease that would have been terribly criticized in ancient times.

In modern science, people with hermaphroditic phenomena are also called intersex people. Such people generally have both sex chromosomes at the chromosome level.Therefore, it is possible to have both male and female sexual characteristics during development.

"He was born in a farm family. When his parents found out that his body was abnormal, they were terrified and abandoned him at night."

Lin Yanqing said slowly.

Qin Manjiang nodded slightly. In this era, when a child is born, people will look at him strangely, and even the whole family will be criticized. They are considered to have done evil things and offended the gods, so they will be punished like this.

Even for abandoning Li Yunxiu's biological parents, she didn't feel that she was at fault.

"Fortunately, a monk rescued him. He picked up Li Yunxiu who was still in his infancy. He didn't care about his abnormalities. He raised him with painstaking efforts, taught him Buddhism, and taught him to be kind..."

"Li Yunxiu didn't realize that there was something strange about him. After becoming familiar with the Dharma and all kinds of Dharma matters, he helped the old monk take over some work."

Lin Yanqing's narration became emotionless, as if he was simply telling a story.

"Li Yunxiu's reputation has gradually spread through the publicity for a long time. Soon everyone knows that there is a handsome monk near the Lu River. No...he has not become a monk yet, so he can be regarded as a leader in cultivation."

"Li Yunxiu is really beautiful. There are only a few women who come here to take a look at him. Most of them are men."

"He knew he was a man, so he didn't pay attention to it, but people have good fortune and misfortune."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Lin Yanqing's face again: "I said that there is no way in the sky, the old monk has done good deeds all his life, but he is suffering from illnesses when he grows old. It can be cured, but it needs long-term treatment and recuperation, but how can this small mountain temple have so much money for him to consume?"

"After Li Yunxiu knew about it, he tried to find another way to get money. At this time, a theater troupe came to this remote town along the Luhe River. The troupe leader Zhao Qigong heard Li Xiuyun's name, so he came to have a look. After that, he Desperate, he decided to buy Li Yunxiu at a high price."

"Li Yunxiu entrusted others with the money to take care of the old monk, and from then on she devoted herself to the theater troupe."

"That's his story."

At this point, Lin Yanqing stopped abruptly.

"And then?" Qin Manjiang asked.

Miss Lin just talked about the reason why Li Yunxiu came to [Nanzhifang], but what about the consequences?
"That's all I know. You have to find out what happened to him at the bottom of the well." Lin Yanqing pointedly.

Qin Manjiang remained silent, the identity of Miss Lin became more and more strange.

From what she just said, Qin Manjiang didn't hear how she and Li Yunxiu met at all. Could it be that she also met after Li Yunxiu went to [Nanzhifang]?
"I don't care who you are, since you joined this troupe, you are not an innocent person. If you have supernatural powers, let her escape from the sea of ​​suffering. If you are just bluffing, you can die here too."

After Lin Yanqing finished speaking, he was suddenly taken aback, his eyes were fixed as if he would not move.

In the next moment, Qin Manjiang saw a slight change in the expression on Lin Yanqing's face.

She changed very little, except that her eyes widened slightly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her appearance did not change at all, but Qin Manjiang, who had been paying attention to her, could clearly find that——

This is not that person anymore.

"Has she come out?" As soon as "Miss Lin" opened his mouth, Qin Manjiang knew that Mei Sijun was back.

"Well, the class leader Zhao Qigong ordered everyone to go down the well, find that ghost, and play for it. At that time, your consciousness was replaced by her. Now we have gone down the well."

Qin Manjiang said.

Mei Sijun was silent, and after a while, he said: "I can feel the existence of her consciousness, and she can also feel me. This person...is a bit unusual."

"How to say?" Qin Manjiang asked.

Mei Sijun shook her head: "I don't know, she feels very strange to me, let's not talk about this, what about the others?"

Qin Manjiang looked towards the place coming down from the mouth of the well. There were still only him and Mei Sijun at the bottom of the oppressive and cold well: "I haven't seen it before. It stands to reason that the person who came down after you should have appeared long ago."

Mei Sijun suddenly looked around, as well as the pavilion: "This is... a theater building?"

"What?" Qin Manjiang asked suspiciously.

"The space at the bottom of the well is exactly the same as [Nanzhifang] in my Mei family's old house." Mei Sijun explained.

Qin Manjiang's heart moved, so the bottom of this well is a replica of [Nanzhifang]?

There is a [Nanzhifang] theater building in Yangjian, and there is an identical one at the bottom of this dark well... That ghost is indeed satisfying a certain sense of ritual.

"Hey, let me ask you, do opera singers often have sex with each other?"

Qin Manjiang's question made Mei Sijun frown suddenly.

"It's not a cross-dressing. A man plays a female role. This is a male role, which is a mainstream form in drama."

"but……"

"But what?" Qin Manjiang didn't know whether these opera singers were so secretive, Mei Sijun's unhurried temperament really annoyed him a little.

"Men who sing Danjiao, it is easy to be confused when they sing, and they become addicted to women. They like to adjust their fat and make them pink, and they like... Fengguanxiapei."

Mei Sijun seemed a little dazed:
"I can't tell whether the people are in the play or the play is in people's hearts."
