Feng Yun nodded with satisfaction. The old man in front of him was obviously an expert and knew all the rules. There was no need for him to say anything.
In Dayan Kingdom, although Baihu Terrace is not very common in this era, as the old man said, it was especially common in some villages thirty or forty years ago.
The most striking feature of this kind of stage is that usually there are only seats under the stage when opera is being performed, and singing only starts in the middle of the night and ends at dawn.
If you go to a theater to listen to a play now, you can tell whether the troupe in this theater was once a ghost troupe by paying attention to whether there are female actors in the troupe.
Because anyone who sings this kind of ghost show will never accept women, which is also a taboo.
Therefore, there are no Tsing Yi Hua Dan in the ghost opera troupe. Even if there are some plays that require female roles, they are all played by men.
The old man quickly made a few calls, and after a while, several old men about his age arrived with different musical instruments.
The suona, gongs and drums were very complete, and these old men didn't know what they were muttering when they got together, but they would look at Feng Yun from time to time, with rather strange expressions on their faces, but due to Feng Yun's I don't dare to look too much at it.
Fatty and Yan Qilin quickly took out the things in the car and set up a temporary backstage on Longhua Road.
According to Feng Yun, there is no need to set up a stage for this play. The entire Longhua Road is where they sing.
In the evening, it coincides with the early summer, and many people go out for a walk to enjoy the cool air. Passing nearby, you can't help but be attracted by the movement here.
If you were walking alone, few people would come to Longhua Road to watch. However, there were many people raising their voices, so they naturally became bolder, so many people gradually gathered.
Many people have been looking inside, wondering why Longhua Road was suddenly blocked again?
Still so lively?
During this period, they naturally saw Fatty and Yan Qilin, carrying some costumes and other opera things, and there was an old opera troupe not far away, adjusting musical instruments.
"What's going on? Could it be that this place is preparing for an opera?"
"The roads are closed and no one can get in. Are you singing to ghosts?"
The people watching who didn't know why were discussing in a low voice, and these words were all heard by Lin Feng in the crowd.
After Lin Feng learned that the Polling Bureau had blocked Longhua Road, he rushed over with his team members. Unexpectedly, the Military Mansion blocked it, and even they, the Criminal Division, could not enter.
In desperation, Lin Feng and others could only stand outside the blockade like ordinary people, wondering what happened on Longhua Road.
It was already close to 9:30 pm when Fatty and Yan Qilin came back, and with all the preparations, the time soon approached 12 midnight.
Longhua Road became cold and cold again, which made many people who couldn't bear it leave one after another. Of course, some people who had just finished the night shift gathered here curiously and kept looking in.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Feng Yun called Fatty and Yan Qilin to a table on the roadside. There were three porcelain bowls on the table.
Through the moonlight, the two of them could clearly see the liquid in the three porcelain bowls, which was as red as blood.
This made Fatty immediately recall that in the list Feng Yun had given them before, among the things they needed to prepare, there was a red-crowned rooster.
And now the rooster is gone.
It will either be stewed or slaughtered, and it will all end in the same way.
"Director, what is this?"
The fat man pointed at the liquid in the bowl with some disgust, and Feng Yun responded seriously:
"This is the exorcism wine. It is the rule to drink the exorcism wine before the ceremony begins. Then please pretend and invite the weapons. It's time for us to start the show."
After saying this, Feng Yun picked up a bowl with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Yan Qilin followed closely behind, but his expression showed an indescribable pain.
The fat man obviously seemed to be having a hard time, but now that the situation was over, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink the chicken blood wine in one gulp. A sticky and nauseating feeling quickly surged through his body.
However, Feng Yun didn't give the fat man a chance to complain at all, and immediately motioned for the two of them to change their clothes. Then he took a brush and dipped it in cinnabar himself, and painted special facial makeup on them.
During this period, Feng Yun also put on the red robe representing Zhong Kui, with a seven-star sword hanging on his waist and a hammer in his hand.
After everything was ready, Feng Yun handed three sticks of incense to Fatty and Yan Qilin respectively. The three of them lit the incense together and inserted it into the three incense burners.
The two followed suit, and Feng Yun picked up the incense burner and put it on his head. As if he had received some signal, the troupe's band began to beat gongs and drums in unison.
Accompanied by a loud sound of suona, Feng Yun walked in the front, followed by Yan Qilin and Fatty on the left and right.
The three of them asked Lu Xiang with their heads on their heads and their feet on the Seven Star Gang.
This pace seemed very strange, but the group of old men who formed the band nodded in admiration. Unexpectedly, this official was actually an expert.
Feng Yun, who was walking in the front, put six qian of lard on each sole of his feet. At this moment, he, who was accompanying Zhong Kui, drew a leopard head ring and put on a veneer of curly beard.
Wearing a red round-collar robe and an official hat, he really looked like the reincarnation of the holy king.
Fatty and Yan Qilin were the attendants on the left and right respectively. It is said that these two were once sworn friends of Zhong Kui during his lifetime. One was a gangster and the other was a scholar of the same class.
Of course, in some places, these two are often replaced by negative differences.
On Longhua Road, the sound of gongs, drums and suonas made people outside feel itchy in their hearts.
They were eager to find out what was going on inside, but the soldiers were so tightly guarded that they had no chance and could not see anything.
Lin Feng looked even more suspicious at this moment. This movement sounded like a big drama.
But for some reason, this voice always sounds a little awkward and a little creepy.
"In the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the town was settled, and everyone was informed. Yuedu was the real official, and the earth was the spirit. The society on the left and the Ji on the right should not be alarmed.
Return to the right path and be clarified internally and externally. Everyone takes their positions and guards the altar. The true king has a mission to hunt down evil spirits.
The God-King who protects the Dharma, protects and chants sutras, takes refuge in the Great Dao, Yuan Henry Zhen..."
Feng Yun's yin and yang accent at this moment was completely indistinguishable from male to female. It was melodious and melodious, but also had an indescribable sense of gloominess.
But with the An Di Divine Curse, the strength of Qixing Gang at Feng Yun's feet became stronger and stronger, and gradually, changes began to appear in the four weeks.
First, there was a towering locust tree looming in the middle of the road. Then, the unfinished buildings on both sides of the road turned into dense tombs, overlapping with the unfinished buildings, like a mirage.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, the troupe leader immediately motioned for the others to close their eyes.
It is said that these people who sing ghost plays have more or less experienced some strange events.
Therefore, in their unwritten rules, when encountering this kind of situation, they should try their best to turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear, and not take it seriously.
Even Brother Pingtou, who was hiding on the side of the road, was looking around in astonishment. He could naturally recognize that both the locust tree and the tomb existed only in extremely yin places, that is, the Yin Mansion.
But now, this extremely yin place is actually looming in sight even in the yang world...
