Chapter 406 Puppet Show [Asking for the Moon]
"Brother Prince!"
"Sister Luoyu..."
On a simple but spacious wooden platform, two slightly stiff figures hugged each other. They were a man in a yellow cloth robe and a woman in a white linen robe. Their facial features were the same as those of ordinary people, but there was little movement.
A bit more agile.
As they hugged each other, there was a lot of noise in the audience.
"What is this performance?" A woman frowned slightly displeased.
She was wearing a blue dress, with jade-like skin and smoky eyebrows. She was clearly a beautiful girl. But her eyes seemed to contain a deep lake, revealing a different kind of depth, which gave people a sense of experience.
The feeling of vicissitudes of life.
There were about a hundred spectators behind her, 80% of whom were lively women of various colors. They were all chirping and making noise at the moment, probably complaining about the stories on stage.
Following their dissatisfaction, the two figures on the stage suddenly froze, and a young man with an extraordinary temperament walked out from the backstage and said with a smile on his face: "The Demon King doesn't like this story?"
"What we want to watch is The Legend of White Snake, Meng Jiannu, what are you playing?" asked a woman from behind.
"Those are all fake, what's so good about them?" the young man said with a smile.
"Then are you telling the truth?" the woman in green suddenly asked.
"Of course it's a real person," the young master replied.
"Okay." The woman in green nodded, "Then let's continue with the show. I also want to see what the story of the human royal family is."
"Okay." The young master smiled bitterly, and immediately did not return to the backstage. Instead, he sat down under the stage. With a move of his hands, the figures on the stage began to move again.
This man is none other than Young Master Liyang, who lives in the far west.
At first, he was hunted by the court for sheltering the defeated Lu Chengchou, so he could only escape to the demon clan's territory through recommendation. Fortunately, Queen Qingqiu, one of the seven demon kings, was very friendly to the human race, and he also had a high level of cultivation.
Then there was a place to stay.
And the reason why he uses his magical puppet power to set up a stage here to perform is because of the order of Qingqiu Demon King.
A few semi-monthly issues of the Qixingdi newspaper were circulated the day before yesterday. There were some incomplete stories in them, which greatly fascinated these Qingqiu monsters and wanted him to perform on the stage.
Maybe it has something to do with Qingqiu’s customs.
Although in the eyes of the human race, the spirits and monsters who are trained as beasts are all monsters, in fact, the monsters are not monolithic. In the eyes of monsters of different races, other races are essentially the same as the human race.
Between heaven and earth, the tiger clan practices as tiger monsters, the wolf clan practices as wolf monsters, and the human race practices as human monsters... There is no difference between us.
It's just that the human-monsters have extraordinary talents and are as strong as clouds, occupying the land of Kyushu. This forced the other monsters to unite and become a unified "monster clan", and the human-monsters also broke away from this category and gave themselves a name.
He got a unique name called "Practitioner".
The confrontation between the demon clan and the human race is actually just a confrontation between many beasts and demons. The so-called "demon god" thousands of years ago was actually just a title given by the human race. Within the demon clan, it was the only true god.
In the Far West, the demon clans that are not under the oppression of humans have actually become independent for a long time. The seven demon kings of different races rule their own territories respectively, and will only meet when the demon temple summons them.
The Qingqiu clan is headed by fox demons. The fox demons are beautiful, good at transforming and charming, and most of them are banshees.
So they are particularly fond of these love stories.
But Mr. Li Yang had never seen those stories. Although he came from Kyushu, he never paid attention to them. He had only heard of the poignant love stories that were so popular in the market.
The Demon King had his orders and had to obey, so he had no choice but to use puppets to act out a love story in his memory.
…
The puppets on the stage moved again.
But seeing that the "Prince Brother" and "Princess Luoyu" grew up together, they developed a vague affection due to an accident. After that, the two were entangled, but they had to separate.
Because the palace walls are deep, it is impossible to allow them to marry.
"Why can't they be together?" Suddenly a childish voice asked from behind. It should be the little fox demon who had just transformed.
"Because they are half-brothers and sisters." This time it was the Qingqiu Demon King sitting in front who gave the answer. She said lightly: "The human race has its own ethics, especially the royal family, which does not allow this kind of union.
.”
"Ah..." the little fox demon sighed.
Although the monsters in Qingqiu have human forms, wear human clothes, and speak human language, as long as you have never been to the land of Kyushu, you still cannot understand the behavior of the human race.
For the demon clan, although they will avoid the bloodline of close relatives in the future, even if they have wisdom, this is more because they find that the union of close relatives may produce abnormalities.
But the ethical concepts deep down are not that important.
The prince and the princess lived in this small courtyard wall for many years, until one day, there was a rumor in the palace that the princess was not young and the emperor wanted to choose a consort for her.
Only then did the two of them become sad again.
At this time, another figure appeared next to him, a palace servant wearing black clothes and a hat. He seemed to have cast some evil spell on the prince and princess, and on a rainy night, the two were truly united under the confusion.
"Wow--"
Seeing this scene, the fox demons below all clapped and applauded the man in black. Perhaps in their opinion, two people who love each other should be together, and the man in black has done a great thing.
But the subsequent story shows that he is not a kind person.
The man in black used this matter as a threat to force the prince to obey his words and let the prince assassinate the emperor!
The emperor puppet on the stage only wore simple yellow cloth clothes, but he was still full of power. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he brought huge pressure.
The prince refused to obey at first, but when the news came that the emperor had chosen a consort for the princess, he still compromised. As long as he assassinated the emperor, he would be the new master of Kyushu, and no one could influence his choice from now on.
.
What followed was a wonderful night of thorny dragons.
In the moonlight, the prince almost assassinated the emperor with the help of the man in black. Unfortunately, he failed in the end.
The man in black's conspiracy was exposed and he was killed, all his followers were killed, and the prince also committed suicide.
The princess was married off by the emperor to a small country in the Western Regions to get married, and was not allowed to return to her country again for the rest of her life.
The drama also ended here.
As the story ends, the curses below also come one after another.
In the eyes of these fox demons, the human emperor is undoubtedly the greatest evil. And the man in black has become a messenger of justice. The prince and the princess are miserable lovers, and in the end they are separated, which undoubtedly makes the fox regretful.
Qingqiu Demon King watched the story end, was silent for a while, and asked aloud: "You said this is a true story, but which dynasty and which generation of prince are you playing? I have read through human history books, but I have never heard of it.
Pass?"
"Historical books are all compiled by emperors. How can they record the scandals of their family?" Young Master Liyang said with a smile, "As for which dynasty and which generation... it is the current Yu Dynasty, less than a hundred years ago."
"Humans always seem to feel the beauty in tragic love." Qingqiu Demon King murmured.
Her autumn lake-like eyes were distant, looking at the clear sky in the distance, and she didn't know who she thought of.
