life and death deed

Chapter 120 Take a Closer Look
I waited patiently until five o'clock, checked my tickets, and entered the Grand Theater.

The theater is not small, so I bought a front row seat.

The purpose of my coming here is not to watch a show, but to see Mr. Huang, so I have to see where their backstage is so that I can sneak in secretly.

However, once I sat down in the theater, I noticed something odd.

Everyone around me was quiet and basically focused on the stage.

It hasn't started yet, and none of the actors have come on stage yet. Why are they all so quiet?
Even if the quality of people who come to the theater is generally relatively high, there will always be a few whispering to each other, but I looked around and there was no one talking!

They looked so serious, as if someone had seduced their souls!
I frowned and looked around the theater carefully, but I still didn't find anything strange.

In the end, I could only console myself that I was overthinking it. The people who came to watch Peking Opera were all well-educated and well-educated people. Of course, they couldn’t be as mixed up as in a movie theater, with no one talking to each other. It should be normal.

Soon, with the sound of gongs and drums, the Peking Opera began.

"Home route, there is——"

"Lead the way, yes——"

Two long sounds came out first, and then, a row of painted faces in black robes walked out.

Finally, the leading actor Huang Tianyuan came up.

I don't know much about Peking Opera, but my uncle likes it very much, so I'm familiar with it. I also know a little about "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest".

It mainly tells the story of the servant Cheng Pu who has two daughters in his family. The eldest daughter is ugly and the second daughter is beautiful. However, the ugly one was born by the main wife and the beautiful one by the side wife. The plot is about these two daughters. A bloody and bizarre love story.

The person who plays Cheng Pu is Huang Tianyuan who has already taken the stage.

I don't care about the play he plays. What I care about is when it will be over so that I can go to Huang Tianyuan and ask about Wang Mingming's father.

However, what surprised me was that I didn’t feel drowsy at all while watching the show. On the contrary, I was very excited. The plot in front of me seemed to be particularly attractive to me, and I couldn’t move my eyes away!

This is how the same thing?

Absolutely quirky!
I don’t know how long it took, but with the sound of cheerful ritual music, the drama came to an end.

From the beginning to the end, my eyes stayed on the stage. There seemed to be a kind of magic on the stage. No, to be more precise, there was a kind of magic in Huang Tianyuan, who starred in Cheng Pu, which made people unhappy.

This is my first time to watch a Peking Opera completely without any distractions!
If I haven't reacted by now, I am not considered a member of the metaphysical circle.

The reason why so many people came to watch was not because Huang Tianyuan's Peking Opera performance was so good, but because he used other methods!

However, I haven't discovered yet what method he used to attract everyone to the Peking Opera he performed, and I didn't see anything abnormal in the entire theater.

After the play ended, everyone around me was still in awe. I also heard many people making appointments to watch Huang Tianyuan's opera performance next time.

After everyone had left, I sneaked backstage quietly while the theater security was not paying attention.

I immediately saw Huang Tianyuan who was taking off his makeup.

There were a lot of people backstage, so I came in as an outsider and was not discovered yet.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a pendant hanging around Huang Tianyuan's neck!
It's a white pendant.

I hurriedly approached and saw that Huang Tianyuan's white pendant had lines on it, which seemed to be the word "fox"!

I was stunned for a while. I might know why everyone in the theater was attracted to Huang Tianyuan.

"Who are you!" A vicissitudes of voice brought me back to my senses.

I saw Huang Tianyuan looking at me.

I just noticed that I had suddenly walked up to Huang Tianyuan because I was too curious about the jade pendant around his neck.

"You're not a backstage person, are you? How did you get in? Where's the security guard?" Huang Tianyuan immediately saw my identity and called the security guard.

"Mr. Huang, I have something to do with you!" I said.

"Security!" Huang Tianyuan ignored me.

I didn't care, but said four words: "Fox Fairy's Family Card."

The makeup on Huang Tianyuan's face had not yet been removed, so I couldn't see his face, but his eyes shone with surprise. "Master Huang, is he this kid? I'm really sorry. It was our negligence in our work that allowed him to sneak in. I will drive him away immediately."

At this time, the security came. Two security guards grabbed my arms and tried to drive me out of the backstage.

"Wait!" Huang Tianyuan raised his hand to stop the two security guards. He said, "It's okay, let him stay here."

The security guards were confused and scratched their heads, but they did not dare to disobey Huang Tianyuan's words.

"Wait for me by the side first." Huang Tianyuan said to me again.

I breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and found a seat to sit down.

Not long after, Huang Tianyuan finished taking off his makeup and changed his clothes.

At this moment, I really saw Huang Tianyuan's appearance.

He looks to be in his mid-fifties, energetic, not old at all, his facial features are very soft, and his whole face is very amiable.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Huang Tianyuan asked.

"Mr. Huang, is it a bit against the rules for you to use the Fox Fairy Card to charm people's hearts?"

I didn't rush to tell my purpose, but first told what I had just observed.

The one hanging around Huang Tianyuan's neck is the Fox Immortal family card. Like the Hydra Immortal last time, the Fox Immortal is one of the five immortal families, or in other words, one of the five great spirits.

I don't think these spirits can be called immortals.

The meaning of the family card is that people sign a contract with the five spirits, people worship the spirits, and the spirits help people achieve certain goals.

The fox fairy is good at enchanting, and all the people who come to watch the Peking Opera are involuntarily attracted by the opera on the stage, precisely because of the fox fairy family card around Huang Tianyuan's neck.

Unexpectedly, Huang Tianyuan turned out to be a disciple from the three eastern provinces.

To be honest, the impression of Huang Tianyuan in my mind has changed drastically at this moment. Owning the Fox Fairy's family card is equivalent to a contract of betrayal. He regards the Fox Fairy as his father and master. I kind of look down on this kind of person.

And using this method to lure people to come and watch the show is nothing less than witchcraft!

"Young man, you have good eyesight. You know that this is the fox fairy's card, and you can also see that I am using the fox fairy's bewitching skills to induce others to watch the show. But let me ask you, where did I go against the rules?"

Huang Tianyuan smiled and said nonchalantly.

I was speechless for a moment. I just felt that this was not good. As for what was wrong with the rules, I really couldn’t explain why.

"I just want them to be more involved in the opera and be able to better promote the quintessence of the country. This is not against the rules," Huang Tianyuan said again.

"But you went against their original intention." I said.

"Where is the violation? Since they come to the theater to watch the show, it means that they are already interested in Peking Opera. I just deepened their love for Peking Opera. Furthermore, I did not use this charm to seduce others who do not like Peking Opera. Come and see." Huang Tianyuan said still calmly.

After hearing what Huang Tianyuan said, I still felt like I was moved by him.

It seems like what he said makes sense?

If magic is used to harm people, it is black magic, but what if it is used to promote the quintessence of the country?Can it still be called witchcraft?

"But as a disciple of Chuma, you will sometimes be influenced by the fox fairy's intentions. You cannot guarantee that every charm will simply make them listen to Peking Opera more attentively." I said it more vaguely. In front of the disciples of Chuma, it is You can't speak ill of their immortal family.

"You mean the fox fairy might covet people's energy and lead me to do bad things?" Huang Tianyuan said bluntly.

I'm a little surprised that Huang Tianyuan actually said bad things about the immortal family he worships?

Since he dared to say it, I wasn't afraid that he would be angry. I nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I mean."

"Your worries are unnecessary. It's just the Xiaoxian family. It's a great honor for them to borrow some of their abilities. How dare they do anything bad?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Tianyuan said these words that made my eyes widen.

"What, what do you mean?" I was so shocked that I couldn't speak coherently.

Huang Tianyuan took off the Fox Fairy Pai Pai from his neck, handed it to me, and said:
"Young man, why don't you take a closer look at this fox fairy's family card? See who is the master and who is the servant, or in other words, which one is the father and which one is the son?"
