The metaphysicist, he only believes in science

Chapter 206

After the bell was rung, the gala continued. The programs contributed by the city gods of each district were indeed wonderful. Even Lin Yi, a modern person who is used to all kinds of entertainment activities, was deeply attracted, not to mention these people who were always busy and didn't know what to do. Old ghosts with mobile phones and no TV.

The old ghosts were even more excited than Lin Yi. From time to time, they clapped together to beat the beat, or hummed twice, and the atmosphere was always on fire.

Sometimes the enthusiastic cooperation of the audience can also infect the artists, making the artists on stage perform exceptionally well.

Lin Yi found out that Lord Capital City God should also be very happy, but in order to maintain the image of being a big boss, he had to endure it.

Soon it was Shi Rongrong and Liu Yulin's turn to take the stage, and Luo Guangming was also encouraging them backstage.

Among all the artists, Shi Rongrong and Liu Yulin are the only souls who know the truth.But they didn't dare to say anything. Through the black curtains, they could see the ghosts sitting in the audience, each of them was more enthusiastic than modern audiences, and they really didn't do anything out of line. put it down.

In fact, Luo Guangming was even more nervous than them, and now he no longer had extravagant hopes of winning the first place, he only hoped that the two of them would be able to perform on stage smoothly, and there must be no mistakes.

At this time, he also regretted that if, like other Taoist priests, he directly entered the dream, the artist would not know whether it was a dream or reality, and he would not have any psychological pressure during the performance.When they went back and woke up, they thought it was just a dream.It was useless to regret at this time, Luo Guangming had to tell them once again that they must not make mistakes.

In fact, Shi Rongrong was not as nervous as before. Instead, he comforted Luo Guangming and reassured him that they are now ready.Not for anything else, but for my daughter, I have to fight hard.

The previous performers on stage included cross talk, storytelling, dancing, playing the piano, and singing. The old ghosts were also very respectful, and they all gave warm applause.At this time, listen to the commentator Dao Shibao: "Next, the famous Peking opera dramatist will perform on stage and present "Empty City Strategies" for everyone, and the city god of Qingning District will present it. Applause is welcome!"

When they heard that it was Beijing opera, the old ghosts were so excited that they said, "I haven't heard Beijing opera for many years."

These ghosts and gods are usually busy with official duties and have no time for entertainment.Even if you have time, there is no place to listen, because there are very few people who can sing in modern society.

Lord Du Chenghuang was very excited when he saw Liu Yulin in costumes opening his voice: "I can tell that this voice has been practiced since I was a child. It’s really rare to see such a pure Beijing opera.”

Lin Yi doesn't know Peking Opera, but he also knows that at the beginning of the last century, Peking Opera and dramas of various factions were flourishing and competing for splendor.It's a pity that it was disabled by those in power.Although the state has begun to vigorously support various folk operas in recent years, it is an indisputable fact that dramas face the dilemma of dynasties.Most of these old ghosts have lived for hundreds of years, ranging from princes and nobles to ordinary people, who is not a movie fan?Now that he can hear authentic Beijing opera, he can understand the excitement.

Although "Empty City Strategies" is an old song, everyone still applauded very vigorously and applauded loudly from time to time. This is probably the result of nostalgic feelings.

The enthusiasm of the audience also made Shi Rongrong and Liu Yulin completely relieved and calmed down. The performance of the couple became more and more stable.When the song was over, all the old ghosts couldn't sit still any longer, they stood up and applauded desperately, and even shouted: "One more song."

Shi Rongrong and Liu Yulin bowed slightly to the audience, and were about to leave the stage, but seeing the enthusiasm of the "audience", they didn't know what to do.

"Don't go, let's play another song." The old ghosts yelled, and even Lao Cao yelled and danced.

Even the City God of the capital also spoke: "Let's play another song, Ben... I will reward you very much."

"Yes, one more song, we will reward you a lot." The old ghosts threw out banknotes one after another.

But from Lin Yi's point of view, he couldn't laugh or cry, these are all paper money, how can people in Yang use them?However, the emotions of the "audience" must also be satisfied, so Lin Yi said to the confused couple on the stage, "Let's play another song. There is no limit to the number of songs, and improvisation is also fine. Your benefits will be indispensable afterwards."

Shi Rongrong glanced at him, different from all the ghosts and gods who were so happy that they almost lost their shape, this ghost and god in front of him seemed to have a good temperament and was very young.However, it is different from other ghosts and gods. The elegant voice is very pleasant, and it can be seen that they should not be very old.

Seeing him sitting in the main seat, he only has one more gold ring than the ghost next to him who wears the only black official hat with three gold rings. He should be the "second in command" among this group of ghosts and gods. It seems to have taken a reassurance.

They exchanged glances with Liu Yulin, the couple nodded at the same time, Shi Rong took two steps forward, boldly looked at this gentle-looking man sober in the world, and gave the ancient courtesy: "Young people's opera can be liked by adults. It’s Xiaomin’s blessing. Today, I will present another song "House of Flying Daggers" for the adults, I hope the adults will like it."

"Okay!" All the ghosts immediately shouted loudly.

Lin Yi also smiled and said, "Then let's start."

"Ambush from Ten Daggers" is also called Farewell My Concubine, Wujiang Death, etc. It tells the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, the overlords of Chu, who committed suicide in Wujiang.Shi Rongrong and Liu Yulin are both teachers of the Peking Opera Academy and actors, so of course they have great singing skills.

When the song reached the high point, the excited roar of a group of old ghosts almost knocked down the house.Lao Cao was also so excited that he got up and applauded several times, but Lin Yi pressed him down.You are already tall, if you stand up again, the ghosts behind you will not be able to see.

Lin Yi has also seen the charm of opera. He, who has never heard of opera, was taken out of the festival under such an atmosphere, and applauded along with the ghosts.

When the opera is over, the old ghosts still have more to say, and let the two sing.Shi Rongrong really couldn't continue singing, because singing is also very tiring.But the audience was too enthusiastic, they could only look at Lin Yi with embarrassment, hoping that he would let them go.

Lin Yi said in a low voice to Lord Capital City God: "My lord, I feel that if you sing two songs in a row, it's almost enough. You can't make him tired on the stage, right?"

Du Chenghuang said "Well", looked around regretfully and in embarrassment, and said: "But, everyone's emotions are high." The main reason is that he also wants to hear it.

Lao Cao was still yelling: "Keep singing, and you will be rewarded for singing well." He took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it over.

Lin Yi: "..." He didn't earn the love money himself, so it doesn't hurt to spend it.

Seeing this, the other ghosts also took out the money in their hands and threw it on the stage.

Seeing the banknotes all over the floor, Shi Rongrong's eyes were straightened, and he almost couldn't resist picking them up.Luo Guangming warned in the background: "Don't pick it up." It's all paper money, so there's nothing to pick it up.But in Shi Rongrong's eyes, the money is the glowing red Grandpa Mao.How can the couple who are short of money bear it?

Luo Guangming slapped his head and could only threaten: "If you pick up the money, you have to continue singing. Can you still sing?"

Shi Rongrong hesitated when he bent over.

Luo Guangming said again: "If you don't sing well, these adults will turn their faces, and I can't keep you."

When the two heard this, they straightened up quickly in fright, bent down facing the audience, and quickly exited the stage.

……

Winter in Beijing is already cold, especially late at night, when the outdoor temperature is close to minus ten degrees, Li Guowei's teeth chatter from the cold even in the car.

At the beginning, I had a mobile phone as a companion, and I didn't feel cold, but for some reason, the mobile phone lost its signal for no reason.It's very strange, now that the network is so developed, how can there be no signal for no reason?It wasn't long before he paid the fee.

Life without a mobile phone is even more difficult.In the long night, the cold loneliness and unknown panic gnawed at him, and he wanted to start the car more than once.

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Guowei became even more terrified. He even felt that the originally bright street lights outside the window had become dim, and the temperature was getting colder and colder, not the coldness of physical attacks, but gloomy coldness. It was cold in his bones.

I don't know if it was because of too much fear, Li Guowei actually found rows of red sparks appearing on the deserted road, jumping non-stop in the air.

He rubbed his eyes, the fog at night was heavy, the window glass was covered by the fog, and it was hard to see clearly.Can only vaguely see roughly.

As the light approached, I realized that there were rows of people in black, holding a red lantern in their hands, walking back and forth from far to near, and from near to far, and there were a bunch of men, women, old and young behind them. .

Li Guowei's heart tightened, these men in black and lanterns that appeared out of nowhere reminded him of Yin soldiers passing by, and he was even more frightened and dared not move.He quickly closed his eyes, thinking to himself that the Tathagata passed down his ancestors, Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses him, and he must never let the Yin soldiers find him.

But the more he was afraid of anything, the more he would come. He found that he was getting colder and colder. His hands and feet were so cold that his hands and feet were stiff. I don't know if it was an extreme illusion, but he actually heard someone talking.

"... Alas, our lives are really miserable. The city gods are all drinking and watching theaters inside, so we have to patrol outside with the cold wind blowing."

The voice was behind him, in the back seat of the car.Li Guowei's body was stiff, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, but he was lying on the steering wheel, not daring to move.

Another voice came: "Who told us that we have no background and no ability, so we can only do these low-level jobs. But don't complain, although being a Yin soldier is tiring and hard, and the money is not much, but it is worth it anyway. Civil servants have a staff and guarantee. The Lord Chenghuang said that after the gala, he will send us a big red envelope. For the sake of the big red envelope, just bear with it."

"You can think about it. I just don't accept it. You see, the world is sober. It joined the job later than us and is younger than us. But look at what the cow is doing now."

"He has a background, the coffin is thick, and he has strength, so it's useless for you to be jealous."

"But having said that, this human sobriety has been wearing a mask all the time. So far, no ghost in the entire underworld knows his true face. Are you saying that he was really disfigured during his lifetime, so he dare not show his true face?"

"You are too good at thinking. He is a fourth-rank high-level ghost and god. He can completely change his face with magic power and restore his former appearance. I heard that he just doesn't want to reveal his identity."

"Your news is outdated. The sober adults in the world don't wear masks anymore. Everyone saw their true face last time at the Ruyi Hotel."

"really?"

"It's true, he looks really handsome. No wonder you have to wear a mask all the time, otherwise you will be thrown down by those nymphs sooner or later."

The car window was knocked several times, Li Guowei was so frightened that he almost raised his head.Another strange voice came, "Ha, you guys disappeared in the blink of an eye, you really know how to find a place." Then he also got into the car and rubbed his hands, "It's so fucking cold outside Ah. It’s better to be warmer in the car.”

Then he waved to his companion: "Two more people can be squeezed in the car, you all come in."

Li Guowei: "..." Then he felt that his body was immersed in a biting cold, and then, a scream came out, "Damn it, there is actually a big living person in the car!"

　I held a parent-teacher meeting for my boss yesterday afternoon, and went home directly after the meeting.I thought it could be updated on the phone, but my files were saved on the E drive alone, and I couldn't call them out on the phone.That's it for today, have a nice Sunday everyone.
