Seeing Chu Ge's hesitant look, Yang Xinyan thought that his persuasion had worked, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Xianjun, please listen to my brother, you must never mention the burning of the theater to others, or say one more word. It may lead to death!
"There might be someone in this small county town who is secretly involved with the bandits, and then you and I will both die without a burial place!
"We perform on stage for the sake of all the people in the city. When the bandits are gone, even if we have to bear infamy, it doesn't matter. Let's save our lives first!"
Chu Ge shook his head and got rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
I almost got fooled by an NPC in the game, but is that okay?
I am still a scholar, and I have the gift of great righteousness!
Chu Ge’s expression became firm again: “You are confused!
"If everyone thinks like you, everyone only wants to protect themselves and does not dare to take any risks, wouldn't Magistrate Tang's death be in vain? Then the Dongyi bandits invade our territory and kill my people, wouldn't they come and go? Feel free to do whatever you want?
"If King Chu had thought like you, he would have surrendered to Wei long ago and would not have fought to the last moment!
"Although we are all actors and not as good as scholars, we still sing about the heroes of our family, country, and world. Others say that actors are unrighteous, but we ourselves cannot think so!
"Even if it is extremely difficult to succeed in burning down the theater, we must do it. Even if we die in a sea of fire, we must let these thieves know what it means to lose an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood!"
"If you don't dare, then I will go find Mr. Wang. There is always someone willing to do this."
Yang Xinyan's expression changed again: "Xianjun, don't be confused. I have told you a long time ago that people named Wang are not worthy of trust. These scholars are all talking about benevolence, justice and morality, but at the critical moment, he is not as good as us." Such an actor!
"If you believed him, you would have been sold and had to pay for it!
"If Gao Ze were here, there might be some chance of organizing Xiangyong, but now Gao Ze's whereabouts are unknown, we are in dire straits, so we should get through the current difficulties first and then think about other things!
"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
Chu Ge tried his best to persuade from different angles, but Yang Xinyan still shook his head and completely disapproved of the plan to burn down the theater.
Chu Ge had no choice but to give up.
You know, as a scribe, he has the gift of great righteousness. This talent can not only buff others and enhance combat power, but also has an important effect. When the scribe is in a state of clear conscience, his words will be more contagious and convincing.
In other words, it is easier to fool, no, convince others.
But even so, Yang Xinyan remained unmoved, which showed that from the perspective of game mechanics, Yang Xinyan, at least at this stage, was unconvincing.
Even scribes can't do it, let alone other professions.
Thinking of this, Chu Ge could only sigh and continue with the plot according to the original script.
"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, you have been playing the role of overlord for half your life in vain, and the drama has gone into the dog's belly.
"get out!"
Chu Ge shouted angrily and drove Yang Xinyan out.
The door closed and Chu Ge fell into melancholy.
What to do?
He knew what would happen next, and Yang Xinyan would come again and continue to persuade outside the door. In less than an hour, Wang Jinghui will come.
Try saying the same thing to Wang Jinghui? Will the attempt to burn down the theater succeed?
That would probably be in vain, after all, Su Xianjun pinned his hopes on Wang Jinghui at the beginning, and then was let go.
The key is that there is no way to determine which character has been tampered with, so there are too many interfering factors to eliminate.
At this moment, a special fragment slowly appeared in Chu Ge's field of vision, and Yang Xinyan's image could be vaguely seen on it.
"Um?
"Is this the effect of golden talent? The memory fragments are activated!
"It seems that the conversation with Yang Xinyan worked!"
Chu Ge hurriedly tried to touch the fragment, and then, scenes appeared in front of him like a revolving lantern.
Because it is a memory fragment, it is not particularly complete and coherent, but it is still of vital significance to Chu Ge.
…
A picture appeared in the memory, still from the first-person perspective, but the person in the picture could vaguely see what Yang Xinyan looked like as a boy.
And this perspective obviously belongs to Su Xianjun.
Pieces of conversations, along with memories, emerged in Chu Ge’s mind.
Some of these words belonged to Su Xianjun, some to Yang Xinyan, and some seemed to belong to other people, but they were all mixed together.
"I am a tomboy..."
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuancy, senior brother, tell me, how can I become a horn? How many beatings will it take? When can I become a horn?”
"Master said that if you want to be noble in front of others, you will definitely suffer in the future. Don't worry, junior brother, there will always be a day when we can be noble in front of others."
"Listen carefully, you two. I hit you to make you remember! You can't miss a word on the stage! You are the one in the play, and the one in the play is you!"
"I am originally a female Jiao'e..."
"Senior brother, do you think we can keep singing like this for the rest of our lives?"
"Junior brother, what is there to worry about? As long as there is a show, he will listen to the show, let alone people. Even the bandits from Dongyi will listen to the show. As long as there is a show, we will have a bite to eat."
"Senior brother, I'm not asking about dinner. I'm asking, can you and I continue to sing like this for the rest of our lives?"
"Is there anything we can't do? Haven't we been singing for so many years? As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure, we can just sing one day at a time."
"No! Senior brother, I will sing with you for the rest of my life, until the day I die!"
"Xianjun, what are you talking about? Are you crazy? Farewell My Concubine is all in a play, it's not true! We live among the common people, we can't live in a play!"
"Wei soldiers have captured the territory, and there are songs of distress from all directions... The king is exhausted, how can I live with my humble concubine..."
Along with these conversations, scenes flashed by quickly like a revolving lantern.
There seem to be scenes of Su Xianjun and Yang Xinyan learning skills together, being forced to kneel in the courtyard, hanging their voices while standing on the edge of a well, and the two of them performing on stage for the first time...
Immediately afterwards, there was a clearer and more complete clip. It seemed that this clip had a profound memory for Su Xianjun.
"Brother, today I want to tell you a story, a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman.
"The two were childhood sweethearts. The scholar and the woman agreed that they would travel to Beijing to take the exam, and when they returned home in high school, they would get married.
"But the woman is waiting hard in her hometown, waiting and waiting, but she can't wait to return home.
"So I followed the troupe to Beijing to look for her, and came all the way to the capital. It happened that the new number one scholar married the prime minister's daughter, and the woman went on stage to sing.
"While drinking and drinking, the new champion was in high spirits, but he never recognized that the person on the stage was his childhood sweetheart, and he even forgot about the eternal alliance we once had."
"Ah? Junior brother, I don't understand your story. Although there are many precedents for women to enter the theater, there are very few who have become famous. What's more, after traveling thousands of miles to find a relative, the scholar happens to be the top scorer in high school. ...It seems that I have never heard of this matter. Could it be that you made it up?"
"Brother, the people here may be fake, but the things may not be fake."
"ah?"
"Boss Yang."
"Um?"
"From today on, all that's left between us is singing. We sing every day."
"That's right. We are actors and ordinary people. When we are off stage, we should live according to ordinary people's ways. Hey, junior brother, junior brother? Xianjun?..."
…
The memory fragments ended abruptly here.
Chu Ge's expression was a little dazed. So much information poured into his mind, so natural and real that it even gave him an illusion, as if this was a memory that he had really existed.
After a while, Chu Ge woke up.
It was a bit difficult for him to determine how much time it took to absorb this memory fragment, but there was no knock on the door yet, so it probably didn't take much time.
"What a huge amount of information...
“The talent of this memory fragment is indeed the key to clearing this trial copy. Although they are fragmented memories, due to its absolute authenticity, it can help players shape their characters more accurately.
"In this way, the two characters Yang Xinyan and Su Xianjun can be said to be relatively clear."
