Zhongjing, Youshi!
The Zhongjing Grand Theater that Dongcang City invested heavily in Zhongjing has finally opened its doors to welcome guests!
In fact, the Zhongjing Grand Theater has been under construction for more than a month, but Liu Jingzhuang insisted that it must be a heavyweight drama to be worthy of the Zhongjing Grand Theater's premiere.
Therefore, for such a long time, other plays have been performed in other theaters next to the Zhongjing Grand Theater. Although such a good Zhongjing Grand Theater is so empty, it has attracted a lot of rumors, but Liu Jingzhuang believes that Chen Luo can definitely write a great play that surpasses all previous plays!
Also believing in this is Leng Hanbing, the great scholar of Wenchang Pavilion. Leng Hanbing bet five Confucian treasures that Chen Luo could write a script that was not "The Romance of the West Chamber" within a year and successfully stage it at the Zhongjing Grand Theater!
But even they didn't expect that in just two months, they would be waiting for the beautiful and heart-wrenching novel "The Peony Pavilion"!
When Chen Luo wrote "The Peony Pavilion", the vision it aroused was so sensational that everyone was full of curiosity about the play.
From the fragments of words that came out from Duke Anguo's mansion, we know that it is probably a question about dreams, love, life and death!
But one thing is certain, the literary elegance of this drama is comparable to "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion", "The Story of Love Lotus" and even "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring"!
This alone is enough to drive Confucian scholars all over the world crazy!
Although Chen Luo still uses array projection for city-wide screenings, tickets to the Zhongjing Grand Theater are still very popular, and a reclusive scholar even offered the price of a pair of scholar's calligraphy for an infield ticket!
Of course, in addition to the human race, the demon race and the Yunlong lineage also received corresponding tickets.
If the civilization of the human race cannot be shown to foreign races, it is because the education of the human race has not been done properly!
…
At one moment, the theater door opened, and Liu Jingzhuang presided over the opening ceremony and began to welcome the arriving audience. As you can see, these audience members are all political dignitaries, children of aristocratic families, and descendants of the saints. At this time, they lined up to enter the theater and took their seats according to their tickets.
At two o'clock in the morning, the great scholars who came from other places, the heads and elders of the aristocratic holy families, as well as the guests from the Yao clan and the Yunlong lineage entered the theater and took their seats in the front row.
At three o'clock in the hour, Hou An called out "Your Majesty has arrived." Daxuan Emperor Ye Hengyu came in person. He looked up at the plaque of the Central Grand Theater, paused for a moment on his own seal next to the plaque, and nodded with satisfaction. Liu Jingzhuang stepped forward and placed the Daxuan Emperor and the minister of literature, political minister and other important figures who followed him into the box.
Subsequently, the projection array was in full operation, and the shadows in the theater were reflected on the projection arrays of major teahouse academies in Beijing.
At this moment, the drumbeat symbolizing that the drama was about to begin sounded, and the whole city fell silent.
…
Sanctuary.
The half-saints gathered around in circles, looking at the projection array set up by Shen Cunzhong, and listening to the drum beats coming from the array, they all sighed softly.
"This little guy knows how to do these things. The beating of the drum makes me anxious." A Half-Saint muttered.
"Calm down. When this article was written, the world was full of literature. I don't know how many sentences it contains that have been passed down through the ages!"….
"Humph, I am more concerned about another thing than Wenhua. Don't say you didn't notice that when this article was completed, the martial arts connected with a trace of the power of heaven, bypassed the Buddhist avenue, and went straight into the netherworld!"
"I heard that this drama is about life and death. Emperor Qinglong made a special trip to call Chen Luo away from Yuanhai a few days ago. It must be because the pseudo-Buddha of the Western Regions used the Buddhist Avenue to block the return of Emperor Lin. It seems that this little guy is helping to break the situation!"
"Difficult! The Netherworld Road returns, and the Buddhist Road blocks it. These involve thousands of miles. Nine thousand miles of worldly martial arts are not enough to break the barriers!"
"That doesn't require Xiao Luo to break it." Wen Yunsun shook his head, "Xiao Luo just needs to make enough connections between Netherworld Avenue and Heavenly Dao!"
"Now it's like the Buddhist Dao is slandering in front of the Heavenly Dao. Xiao Luo's worldly martial arts should be a loyal minister and not let the foolish king of the Heavenly Dao listen to one side!"
Yan Baichuan nodded
, said: "Speaking of which, do you know what happened in Taiping City a few days ago?"
"It is said that the heroic spirit from the last winter battle appeared." Mr. Sushui said, "I came here to investigate, and there is a special meaning left in the Confucian Bone Palace, which may be related to this."
"And the story of the heroic spirits appearing was on the same day that Chen Luo wrote "The Peony Pavilion"!" Yan Baichuan continued, "The Peony Pavilion is in front, and the heroic spirits appear behind!"
"It's hard to say there's no connection!"
"Why bother thinking about it? Let's just watch the show." Fan Xiwen yawned, "Stop chatting, let's start right away!"
As he spoke, the light in the projection circle suddenly went out, and the screen became pitch black.
Then, the bell rang.
After the nine bells tolled, a graceful female voice like an oriole sounded. After a while, the female voice fell, and the light reappeared in the projection formation. At this time, an old man with a beard appeared on the stage (at the end), with the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" as the song. "The Peony Pavilion"——
"A busy place leaves people to live in a leisure place. After all the thinking, there is no place for happiness. The day is spent with heartbroken words, and there is only love in the world that is hard to express. In front of the Jade Tea Hall, the morning and evening, the red candle welcomes people, and the handsome people are helped by the country. But lovesickness Don’t be negative, go to the Peony Pavilion on the road to three lives..."
"Please take a look today -"
"Du Liniang dreamed of writing a painting record, and Professor Chen talked about the pear blossom spear."
"Liu Xiucai secretly brought back his daughter, and Du Pingzhang attacked the champion scholar."
…
Zhongjing Grand Theater.
Naturally, Liu Jingzhuang's trip to Yun City was not in vain. When he came back, he brought back several dragon girls of the Yunlong lineage, including even a dragon lord. In the rehearsal of "The Peony Pavilion", Liu Jingzhuang used the illusion of Yunlong lineage for the first time to create realistic illusion effects on the stage.
As the opening of the first act comes to an end, the figures on the stage change, and a handsome young man appears on the stage. In "Showing Love", Liu Mengmei talked about her beautiful spring dream, which added a mysterious atmosphere to the story.
As the saying goes, "Short-term dreams and long-term dreams are just dreams. What year comes and goes!"
Then the scene resumed on the stage, and Du Pingzhang appeared on the stage. Worried about the future of his daughter Du Liniang, he invited a teacher for his daughter to teach Du Liniang how to read.
What a coincidence, that private school teacher was very pedantic, but one of the articles he taught was "Guan Guan Pheasant Dove, in the River Continent, a graceful lady, a gentleman is so arrogant..."...
So the little emotion fell away.
People on the stage came and went, and the audience's eyes flickered. Soon, we came to the beginning of the real story, which is also the most beautiful scene in "The Peony Pavilion" - "Dream."
Later generations also had another name for this scene: A Dream in the Garden!
…
"It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, but they are all ruined by ruined wells and ruined buildings. Where is the beautiful scenery in a good time, who can enjoy the pleasure?"
"Flying in the morning and rolling in the evening, clouds and green pavilions; raindrops and wind flakes, smoke and waves painting boats——"
"Jinping people think this time is so mean!"
A piece of "Zao Luo Pao" was sung, and all the great scholars in the theater suddenly opened their eyes!
"Legendary! Heirloomed elegant music!"
"This has just begun, and you are already playing such an elegant piece of music?"
"Chen Luo Wenhua, you really dominate the world!"
"Such a masterpiece, with a slight change, would be enough to make people famous for EMI on its own, but it was actually stuffed into a play... Oh, yes, it's Chen Zhuguo, so that's okay."
At this time, all the children of the aristocratic families were looking at the stage with bright eyes. They knew that the more literary and elegant the play was, the greater the benefits they would receive after watching it.
"Listen carefully!" A family head saw his junior's expectant expression and couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the back of the head. "This ancient masterpiece seems so worthless in the hands of Chen Zhuguo! Why are you so so I haven’t been able to hold back a sentence for years!”
"Master, you don't have a masterpiece to be handed down from generation to generation!" The disciple subconsciously retorted.
The head of the family frowned and planned to kill him. A scholar smoothed things over and said, "No wonder they. This sentence comes from Xie Lingyun's "The good time in the world, beautiful scenery, pleasure for the mind and pleasure, it is difficult to combine the four."
The Holy Spirit’s exclamation turned into an elegant song, but they didn’t have this courage yet! "
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, look down, look down!" Another great scholar said, "rescuing" the young man from the aristocratic family.
…
As the story progresses scene by scene, a story of twists and turns, death and rebirth is unfolded in front of all the audience. And those good sentences that were enough to be transmitted appeared frequently. Many students who were watching the projection in the teahouse took out pen and paper and wrote them all down.
"Occasionally, my heart seems to be in love. Beside the plum tree, there are flowers and plants like this that are loved by people and live and die according to people's wishes. It is so sad and painful that no one cares about them."
"It is easy for people to grow old. Too many things hinder them, and it is difficult to dream long. A little affection, three minutes of shallow soil, and half of the setting sun."
"It's easy to describe three minutes of spring scenery, but difficult to paint a period of sadness!"
"The trees in the garden don't know where the people are gone, but they still have their old glory in autumn and spring. The sentimental carp in the pond is like a flower that protects those who leave!"
"The spring scenery comes with three rains, and Wushan is covered with clouds when I sleep."
"Your Excellency Silun's articles are quiet, and the carvings in the bell and drum towers are long."
"There is nothing in the world that is so full of love, it makes me feel heartbroken and heartbroken!"
Every literary sentence came out of the mouths of the actors, and the vague and subtle literary spirit began to condense in the theater. The Confucian scholars present more or less felt that the awe-inspiring righteousness in their bodies seemed to be ready to move, and there was a faint sign of improvement. .
The great scholars present were all shocked by the content of the elegant music handed down from ancient times in this opera. However, on the other side, the young princes from aristocratic families and the demon tribes who did not understand Wenhua all focused on the life-and-death story of Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei. In love. ….
"It turns out there is such love in this world!"
"How can love reach this level?"
"Oh, I usually think that humans like people with long hair. It's because we apes don't know enough about humans!"
"Well, I need to tidy up Tianxiang Tower when I get back. I'll use illusion magic to enter dreams first, and then do it for real!"
The stage is still changing. After you sing, I will take the stage. It’s so lively. Everyone in the audience is thinking carefully.
But at this time, someone saw a higher level in this play!
…
Sanctuary.
The half-saints looked at the projected stage and fell into silence.
They don't care about the aura of culture, and as for love, it's not theirs.
What they saw was the way of heaven!
This drama has started to change since "The Dream"!
Du Liniang fell into a lovesickness and died in depression. Forget it, but when ghosts wander into the underworld, there are actually government offices similar to those in the human world!
The yamen actually found out that Du Liniang was still married in the human world, and then——
put! she! return! Positive!
This... simply subverts the half-saint's understanding of life and death!
What's wrong?
Is it enough to have a marriage?
Can you avoid death if you are married?
This is not outrageous, but what is outrageous is that Liu Mengmei actually became husband and wife with Du Liniang's spirit!
Later, Liu Mengmei dug up Du Liniang's grave and found that the body of Du Liniang, who had been dead for three years, had not changed at all!
What follows cannot be described as outrageous.
The spirit returns to the corpse, and guess what?
complex! live! Got it!
"Everyone, what I am saying is that this play, this matter..." An Zijie hesitated for a long time and then said, "Isn't it a bit unethical?"
"Private life, clouds and rain in dreams, tombs dug..."
All the saints looked at An Zijie.
(??「;)?
After watching the play for almost an hour, you can tell this by asking the semi-saints one by one?
Etiquette?
This is not in line with the law of heaven, right?
"He wrote it, and Heaven also asked him to write it!" Uncle Ouyang Yong said in a low voice, "This is the rule of the two realms recognized by Heaven!"
"But... it's really unbelievable!" Another half-saint
Shaking his head, "What on earth is going on with that Yin Si Yamen in the play?"
"Did Emperor Lin and Elder Di Ge establish it in Netherworld?"
"Impossible, they currently have no authority in the human world!" Su Ziyou categorically vetoed, "According to my understanding of heaven, this kind of authority requires authorization from heaven, the human world, and the underworld at the same time!"
Yan Baichuan and Wen Yunsun looked at each other!
"The only person who can get such permission is Linhuang after the two realms have been unified!" Yan Baichuan said calmly, "But Linhuang will eventually unite!"
"Unless Emperor Lin grants Netherworld authority to others again!" Wen Yunsun added, "That Yamen appeared in "Journey to the West"!"
"Underworld!" An answer emerged in the hearts of all the half-saints!
"So, Heaven has recognized the existence of the Underworld, and even more so the authority of the Underworld!" Han Changli finally concluded, "When the two realms are unified, that will be the day when the Underworld takes over the Netherworld!"
"That is to say, after Emperor Lin merged with the Tao, Chen Luo was not only the dharma minister in the world, but also the master of the underworld!" Su Poxian blinked, "This guy's official position is getting bigger and bigger!"...
"That is what will happen after the two worlds are unified. The current problem is to solve the problem of road blockage in Buddhism." Yan Baichuan shook his head and changed the topic. He now does not want Chen Luo's reputation to be too great, otherwise it will cause some semi- What unspeakable thoughts Sheng has in his heart is not a good thing for Chen Luo!
"Let's see what changes will happen after this play ends!" Wen Yunsun echoed, "Buddhism has blocked the door to unity, now let's see what this play "The Peony Pavilion" can bring to him!"
When the saints heard the words, they nodded one after another and turned their attention to the projection formation.
…
At this time, the entire "Peony Pavilion" has fifty-five episodes, and after nearly two hours of performance, it is coming to an end.
His Majesty the Ming Emperor personally interrogated the case of Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, confirmed Du Liniang's identity, ordered the father and daughter to recognize each other, and granted marriage to Du and Liu.
It is worth mentioning that the decree granting the marriage was personally promulgated by His Majesty Daxuan Ye Heng in the box.
"Additional Drama"
Suddenly the entire Zhongjing City cheered, which made Ye Heng very satisfied.
"This Chen Luo always comes up with new things!"
Then, the story came to an end in a happy reunion, and Chen Luo's voice slowly sounded as the curtain fell -
"You don't know where love comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Life without death, death without resurrection, are all not the result of love."
After saying this, the stage suddenly shone with colorful colors.
The people present have all seen the world. Whether it is "The Injustice of Dou E" or "The Case of Guillotine Beauty", they have all appeared. This is the book spirit who is about to appear!
The series of "Yu Qin Guan"!
I saw the colorful light above the stage getting thicker and thicker, and the shadows of a man and a woman emerged in the light. The shadows turned into a willow branch and a plum tree. The next moment, the willow branches twined around On the plum tree, the plum blossoms on the plum tree are blooming.
Then, the fragrance of plum blossoms hit their nostrils, and everyone present felt a ray of heavenly power coming out of their bodies, which could be freely refined into aura of righteousness, the power of luck, or the power of blood.
Then, the shadow of Liu Tangmei turned into a ray of light and flew towards Chen Luo. Chen Luo stretched out his hand, and the light immediately shot into Chen Luo's soul sea. Chen Luofu reached his soul, and a message suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Seven Emotions: Thinking!"
"I was surprised that I didn't show my lovesickness, it turns out it's just because it's deep into my bones!"
"It can condense the seeds of lovesickness. Once a person dies, his soul will remain alive as long as there is still lovesickness in the world!"
Chen Luo frowned slightly.
This... feels like a magical power that matches the underworld!
…
The book spirit had appeared, and the colorful light on the stage gradually faded away. Just when everyone thought everything was over, suddenly, there was a deafening thunder in the sky!
A strong force of heaven almost turned into substance, fell from the sky, penetrated the roof of the Zhongjing Grand Theater, and landed directly on Chen Luo.
On the body.
Almost at the same time, the expressions of all the first-grade scholars present changed.
They sensed a special aura from the power of heaven——
The dead energy of the netherworld!
They rushed towards Chen Luo almost at the same time, trying to pull Chen Luo out of the heavenly power of the Netherworld's death energy, but then, a holy voice sounded in their ears.
"It's okay, Chen Luo!"
"Don't bother!"
. .
Traveled eighty thousand miles away
