Chapter 209 Silver Toad Swallows the Moon! Hundred Ghosts Night Walk
Upstairs on the Yuntai, wonderful music was floating and the lights were brightly lit.
On the stage, there are charming figures and famous actors gathered together, wearing costumes and facial makeup, making a collective appearance.
Xiao Yuteng led the auspicious team to the stage to reward the guests. The atmosphere in the venue became heated before the show started.
Everyone cheered and their eyes became hot.
Many wealthy young men threw money, gold ornaments, jade bis, silk scarves, sleeve socks, obscene clothes on the stage as rewards...
Wang Xiaoyi was dancing and excited.
Zhou Dao's eyes darkened slightly, and there were waves in his heart.
"Master!"
He raised his eyes and saw that the stage at Nuo Da was empty except for Xiao Yuteng standing there alone.
Not even the sweet sound of silk and bamboo exists.
It is said in ancient books that form, Dharma, and emptiness are all emptiness, and what is seen by the six senses is empty, and what is known by the five senses is all delusion.
This is an extremely profound state.
Xiao Yuteng, this man is more than just an actor.
His cultivation level was terrifying and he knew the way of the soul, which actually disturbed everyone's perception.
Even masters like Xiao Nanfeng and Duan Shan didn't notice it.
The dozens of people in the Jiqing class at Nuo University are actually the result of his spiritual transformation, which affects people's perception.
From beginning to end, he was the only one.
Ji Qing Troupe is a theater troupe owned by Xiao Yuteng alone.
Zhou Dao was shocked and confused, why would such a person with such cultivation need to hide his identity as an actor and walk around the world?
A master like Xiao Yuteng will be treated politely wherever he goes. Even if he joins the Taoist sect, he will be cultivated by the sect and there is no need to make a living in this world of mortals.
Is it possible that this person is really crazy about drama?
"Everyone..."
At this moment, Xiao Yuteng spoke, his voice was soft and filled with a calming magnetism.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone's attention was drawn to his voice.
"Tonight we have a distinguished guest coming to support the Jiqing Class. I am very grateful." Xiao Yuteng saluted, and behind him, all the members of the Jiqing Class also saluted.
However, these people gradually lost their expressions and looked dull, no longer as lively as before.
The eyes of all the guests present were attracted by Xiao Yuteng, and only a few people noticed something strange.
"Huh? These people..." Xiao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows, a little confused.
In the distance, Duan Shan also straightened up, feeling slightly strange.
Chi Yabai rubbed the center of his eyebrows, seeming to feel something.
"Tonight's play should be my last time on stage."
At this moment, Xiao Yuteng made a shocking statement, which immediately caused a commotion in the venue.
"What's going on?" Wang Xiaoyi was stunned.
In the box, Hong Xiaomeng almost screamed.
Xiao Yuteng was young and in his prime. Now it was his glorious years. He actually chose to wash his hands in the golden basin at this time?
"How could this happen? Why? In a few years, he will definitely become a leading figure in the theater world and be passed down to future generations."
"He is a top player in this industry? Why did he choose to leave at this time?"
"Oh my god, is tonight the swan song?"
In the venue, the crowd was excited and couldn't help themselves.
If the news of Xiao Yuteng's swan song had been spread a few days earlier, I'm afraid the scene tonight would have been even more heated, and some people would have even gone bankrupt just to see the final glory of this young man.
"Everyone, I only have one show tonight." Xiao Yuteng said again.
Every word he said touched everyone's nerves.
"I have never performed this ghost show in public before. This is the first and last time."
Although the people present were all from wealthy families and were used to seeing the world, many people came to watch the show just because of Xiao Yuteng's reputation, just to show off their status.
However, there are still people who are crazy about drama, and their obsession with Xiao Yuteng has reached the point of forgetfulness.
Their eyes became fanatical, their breathing gradually became heavier, and there was a faint sparkle in their eyes.
When he finally took the stage, he sang a play about ghosts and gods, and it was a play that had never been performed in public.
"The swan song... It's really the swan song... I will have no regrets in this life..." A wealthy daughter's eyes were filled with tears, and her expression became determined.
After watching this play, there is nothing left to remember in this world.
"Brother Dao, have you seen it? What is a horn? This is a horn."
Wang Xiaoyi said excitedly.
Tonight, he was at the right place. With this drama, he could brag to the girl from Wanhualou to the point where he could play in vain for a month.
Kick, kick, kick...
Under the gaze of everyone, everyone else in the Jiqing class retreated.
Xiao Yuteng was the only one left on the stage.
At this moment, a copper stove rose behind him, with three incense sticks on it, and there were dragon, tiger and animal shapes on it, which was simple and mysterious.
It is said that Xiao Yuteng's "Ghost Play" must have incense to attract ghosts and gods.
In this kind of play, each type of repertoire corresponds to a kind of ghost and god.
For example, Xiao Yuteng's most famous ghost drama "Lingguan Catching Ghosts" is dedicated to the extremely well-known protector and fierce god in Taoism [Lingguan Subdues Demons].
Tonight, the play Xiao Yuteng will perform is called "Silver Toad Swallows the Moon", and no one has heard of it.
call……
Amid the lingering incense, Xiao Yuteng took off his outer cloak, and underneath he was actually wearing a red robe, as bright as blood.
Zhou Dao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt like he had seen him before.
"There is a spirit in the mountain that turns into a silver toad. It swallows moonlight and has an extraordinary body. It thinks about itself and enters the mortal world. The mortal world is billowing. It is difficult to distinguish between ghosts and gods..."
The long lyrics come slowly, like the night wind rising, blowing people's hearts.
Xiao Yuteng's figure also danced accordingly, and his red robe hunted like a ball of flame, driving the incense around him.
Suddenly, the incense took on various forms under the influence of the lyrics and body posture.
Deep in the mountains, an ancient mountain village...
A story slowly emerged in front of everyone's eyes, and the picture scroll opened with Xiao Yuteng's lyrics.
Silver Chan is recorded in the "Work Manual of the Monster Control Division". It is rumored that this kind of monster does not exist in the human world. On the fifteenth day of every month, on the night of the full moon, the Moon Palace will open its gate.
There is a secret cave hidden deep in the mountains, and you can enter the palace gate through the moonlight.
In fact, in the moon palace, treasures will also fall into the human world.
Someone once strayed into the mountains and found a secret cave in the bright moonlight. They only heard a rumbling sound inside, like the rising tide of a river and sea, leaving it outside.
The man did not dare to go deep. When the full moon set in the west, he entered the cave again and found a pool of silver water in the pit. Inside was a toad, which was silver and as cunning as the moonlight.
Some people say that the silver toad is a lucky demon that is hidden in ancient wells at home. It can make money and gold and silver can be produced from the land.
Xiao Yuteng's "Silver Toad Swallows the Moon" tells a rather weird story.
In this story, there are no princes, generals, talents, beauties, or monks.
The silver toad entered the mortal world, was collected by the villagers, and was enshrined in the ancient well.
Relying on the silver toad, villagers can dig gold and silver from the field ridges every day.
As the villagers become richer and richer, they hold on to the silver toad even more and are unwilling to give up.
Later, someone heard that the silver toad was a spiritual creature in the moon palace. If you ate its flesh and blood, you could live forever.
The villagers were overjoyed. At this time, the gold, silver and silk could no longer satisfy their desires, so they invited Yinchan out of the ancient well.
On the night of the full moon, the villagers never felt grateful for their past kindness, so they set up a big pot and sharpened their knives.
At this time, Silver Toad looked at the moon and shed tears.
It let out a long groan, black energy filled its body, broke free from the chains, and opened its mouth wide. The moon was actually obscured by dark clouds, and a terrifying roar came from the depths of the earth.
Ghosts gather, evil spirits run rampant, and terrible disasters befall the village.
"Silver toad swallows the moon! Hundreds of ghosts walk at night!"
On the terrace, everyone's attention was attracted by Xiao Yuteng's lyrics and the image of the incense turning into flowers.
At this moment, Zhou Dao subconsciously raised his head.
Chapter completed!
