The real daughter, she became famous all over the world by fortune telling

Chapter 344 Shadow Puppet Theater
Pei Anzhu and Shen Yueran were both short of money. After taking a taxi into Mizong Town, they booked the presidential suite of the best five-star hotel in the town and moved in.

Since it was evening, the two of them put away their luggage and went downstairs to find a place to have dinner.

What they are looking for is the kind of open-air bar and barbecue stall where they can eat and drink. When they are interested, they can also sing a few songs with a microphone. The main thing is relaxation and freedom.

The people eating and drinking here are all young people. Everyone knows each other well and we become friendly after chatting for a while.

Pei Anzhu and the others came in a hurry, and whenever they were looking for travel tips, a man named Brother Cong came to chat with them and took the initiative to share the tips with them.

Brother Cong said:

“I work as an outdoor travel agency, and every year I send many employees out to explore strategies, including routes, accommodation, food, attraction check-ins, or whether there are secondary purchases. These are all things our employees need to explore.”

"We have explored the Lost Town several times, and the guide is very detailed. I just have time this time, so I thought I would give it a try. If you add me on WeChat, I will share it with you."

"If you want to go somewhere to play in the future, you can contact me and I will give you a guide. It is much more convenient than playing around outside by yourself. It also prevents you from being deceived. If necessary, you can also join our small group, which is better than ordinary ones. Tour group service must be attentive because we only do small groups..."

Brother Cong was chattering, and Pei Anzhu saw that he was pretty good, so he added WeChat and received the PDF file he shared.

"Thank you, Brother Cong. Let's go back and take a closer look." Pei Anzhu thanked him.

"You're welcome, we are destined to meet each other." Brother Cong waved his hand, "By the way, there is a shadow puppet theater mentioned in the guide. You must go and see it. Our employees are full of praise for this place."

Brother Cong was obviously an evil person. He pulled Pei Anzhu and the others and talked a lot until the banquet ended at about ten o'clock in the night.

Pei Anzhu and Shen Yueran returned to the room and opened the PDF sent by Brother Cong. They found that the content inside was really detailed. It clearly planned the daily route.

How long does it take to get somewhere, how much does it cost, or where are the places to eat at affordable prices, how to avoid repeated routes, how to visit the entire town with the highest efficiency, etc.

"Awesome!" Shen Yueran sighed after reading it.

"Then let's follow this route tomorrow." Pei Anzhu said, "It will take half a month to visit the entire town. I don't think we need that long. If we go out for a walk, we should be able to see where there are any problems."

"Then shall we go separately or together?" Shen Yueran asked.

"Let's separate and save time." Pei Anzhu said, "You have been studying Shu Yunguan's classics for a long time. I should also give you some opportunities to exercise independently. What's more, you have a little fox by your side, so you don't have to worry about it. Danger."

"Okay." Shen Yueran nodded, and quickly divided the exploration route with Pei Anzhu.

After the two divided their work, they washed and rested. Early the next morning, they had breakfast at the hotel and then split up to prepare for a blanket search of the town.

After going out, Pei Anzhu went east and Shen Yueran went west.

The two of them also saw several familiar faces from the Strange Bureau, all of whom were disguised as tourists, but in fact they were lurking in, ready to support Pei Anzhu and the others at any time.

***
Pei Anzhu walked slowly along the street paved with bluestones.

At a glance, everything you can see are red walls and black tiles, lanterns are hung under the eaves, and the shops on the street also have carved and hollow wooden doors with transparent glass.

The overall look is like a market in a costume TV series.

Occasionally, a few young people wearing studio costumes or Hanfu walked by, holding oil-paper umbrellas, as if old shadows traveled through time and space and reappeared in the present.

I have to say, this place is beautiful. Pei Anzhu looked at the scenery for a while, then focused on the shops on both sides. Some sold jewelry, some sold handmade lipstick and rouge, and some sold thread-bound antique books. In short, everything fit in with the overall style of the place.

She looked from room to room, and every time she noticed something was wrong.

The objects inside didn't seem to be able to produce spiritual intelligence, and the Feng Shui of the store was normal. It didn't look like a place that could spawn evil things. It seemed like it was difficult to find the destination.

After all, Zhou Jianbo's wife had passed away long ago, and no one knew where she went during her lifetime.

It took Pei Anzhu about two hours to finish shopping on one street. She turned around and walked towards a place she had never been before, and then passed a three-story antique building.

It says: Theater.

There is a handwritten poster posted at the door of the theater, which states which plays are on today, when they will start, how much the ticket price is, and other information.

Pei Anzhu raised his head, looked at the three-story theater building, and then spread his consciousness over the entire town.

Later, it was discovered that the theater was actually located in the middle of the town, and the entire town was in the shape of a Bagua plate. Different streets divided the town into different blocks, and they met at the theater.

The theater itself is also a circular building, located exactly in the center of the Bagua Pan, which is also the center of the array.

Pei Anzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
found it.

In fact, she could use her spiritual consciousness to cover the town long ago and look for unusual things, but she couldn't tell Shen Yueran about this, so she had to pretend to work with him and spend time looking for it.

Pei An, a skilled bamboo artist, was brave and did not feel that she could not be in danger alone, so she walked in.

After entering, I discovered that this place was the shadow puppet theater that Brother Cong mentioned.

It couldn't be seen from the outside, so I just thought it was an ordinary theater. But once I entered the lobby, I discovered that the walls around the lobby were all carved shadow puppets. It was obvious that they were made by very skilled masters.

Each shadow puppet is carved with distinct features and lifelike features.

There are several rows of seats in the middle of the lobby, facing the stage. There is a curtain on the stage, which is obviously used for shadow puppet performances.

There are private rooms on the second and third floors, and there are also guests who don't like to be crowded with others. They have a private room by themselves, where they can drink tea, listen to the show, and enjoy themselves.

Pei Anzhu was not short of money, so she directly bought the ticket for the theater twenty minutes later, and then asked for the most expensive box on the top floor.

Only when you are from a high position can you see more clearly.

After sitting in the box, Pei Anzhu drank tea while slowly exploring the theater with his spiritual consciousness. His spiritual consciousness passed through the lobby, the performance hall, the backstage, the kitchen and the tea room...

Finally, we arrived at the basement of the backyard on the first floor of the theater building.

There was an old man there, about sixty years old, holding a carving knife and carving shadow puppets one by one. He was carving very carefully. Every time he carved a knife, he gently brushed off the skin flakes on it with his fingers and blew on it again. Blow and keep it clean.

From the look in his eyes, it seemed that he had put a lot of effort and emotion into the shadow puppet in his hands.

What worried Pei Anzhu even more was that the walls of the basement were also covered with shadow puppets, but these shadow puppets seemed... all alive, as if they were alive with intelligence.
