Looking at the slowly opening theater door and the wooden buildings that appeared behind the door, Huang Shang and others were shocked.
Although the theater looked very big from the outside, it was not until the theater door opened that they realized that there was a whole other world inside the theater.
Looking through the gate at this moment, the theater is actually extremely vast. At the same time, nine wooden buildings with simple styles but different features stand in the courtyard, distributed in the shape of nine palaces, and exude a gleaming light.
Intertwined, forming a huge light mask covering the entire theater.
"Dear guests, welcome to our theater."
Just as Huang Shang and others were observing the scenery in the courtyard, a sad and sharp voice suddenly sounded, and then they saw a stooped and hunched figure, wearing black clothes, with a face full of grooves, looking very old, as if
The old man who might die at any time emerged from the shadow on the side of the courtyard door, and then walked towards Huang Shang and others stiffly: "This theater is divided into nine floors, and each floor has a good show waiting for all guests."
Tasting, only those who have passed the ninth floor can be considered to have passed."
"No matter how many people there are, we still have to get through the ninth floor?"
Huang Shang's eyes were fixed on the hunchbacked old man, with fire looming in his eyes, and then he seemed to see through something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked: "In that case, the more people who break through, the greater the advantage?"
"of course not."
The hunchbacked old man chuckled and said: "Although the theater only has nine floors, each floor contains countless good plays. If there is a play for one person, there will naturally be a play for ten thousand people."
Speaking of this, the hunchbacked old man paused slightly, and then continued: "Of course, as a lottery, our theater will provide certain rewards to those who pass the level every time they pass the level. The higher the difficulty, the more exciting the show, and the corresponding
The rewards will naturally be higher.”
"I see……"
Hearing the words of the hunchbacked old man, Huang Shang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly asked: "By the way, I have something to ask... Do you know where the staff in this amusement park have gone, or what happened?
What's the matter?"
"Sorry, guest, we are slaves of the theater. The theater is our heaven and our land. We don't know anything about things other than the theater."
The hunchbacked old man shook his head slowly and said slowly.
The way the hunchbacked old man spoke was very strange, as if he was always speaking a beat too slowly, making him appear extremely unfluent.
"That's it, that's okay."
Huang Shang nodded when he heard this and said: "Then let me ask questions related to this theater. You said that this theater is divided into nine floors. Do you know that each of these nine floors has its own special features?"
"There are nine buildings and nine kinds of operas. The buildings are different and the operas have different tunes. As for the specific secrets, guests need to taste it themselves."
The hunchbacked old man said slowly: "But I can guarantee that the play in the theater is absolutely unique in the world, and the guests will not be disappointed."
"In that case, I'll wait and see."
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from the hunchbacked old man, Huang Shang nodded, and then led everyone towards the first theater in front.
The old man was still standing there, looking at them quietly, without any change in his expression or movements, as if he had turned into a sculpture.
…
"Brother Huang, this old man must know something. Why don't you think of ways to capture him and question him?"
Following Huang Shang, Zhuge Youlong asked in a low voice.
"It's useless. It's just a puppet. You can't ask anything."
However, after hearing Zhuge Youlong's words, Huang Shang shook his head and said.
"puppet?!"
Hearing Huang Shang's words, Zhuge Youlong and others were shocked.
They had carefully observed the old man just now, but they didn't see any flaws. They just felt that he was an old man with good cultivation, but not too strong.
But now Huang Shang told him that the old man was a puppet?
"That's right, this old man's disguise is so deep that even my magic-breaking eyes can't see through it. If Fa Ji hadn't secretly reminded me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see through his reality."
Huang Shang nodded and said: "Anyway, please be careful, this place... is not simple."
Just as Huang Shang said, he didn't realize that the old man was a [puppet] just now. It wasn't until Fa Ji reminded him inside his body that he vaguely realized something was wrong.
As for how Fa Ji discovered the specialness of this old man, Fa Ji herself couldn't explain it clearly. She could only say that it was a mysterious feeling.
But no matter what, to be able to make a puppet so lifelike, this theater is definitely not simple!
…
In this way, under Huang Shang's reminder, everyone cheered up and cautiously arrived in front of the first theater.
This theater building looks very luxurious. It can be called a jade-carved building with carved balustrades and copper paint on the inside and outside. It has a sense of grandeur but is not vulgar.
And above the main entrance of the theater is a plaque with one word - Ping!
…
"flat?"
Looking at the word "平" on the plaque, Huang Shang frowned slightly: "Whether this theater or the theater building, they both look very Chinese-style. Plus the word "平"...could it be Peking Opera?"
"What is the relationship between Peking Opera and the character Ping?"
After hearing Huang Shang's words, Xia Die asked curiously.
"Peking Opera was originally called Peking Opera, but later it became the mainstream opera in Beijing, so it was called Peking Opera or Peking Opera."
Huang Shang smiled and said: "I studied opera for a period of time before, so I know something about it..."
Speaking of this, Huang Shang paused and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then the other floors should also be related to other genres of opera. But the strange thing is that there are eight major opera genres in China, but there are nine here.
A theater, I wonder what will be inside this extra theater..."
"I only care about whether there are any pretty ladies in this theater, but the actors are all pretty..."
Hearing Huang Shang's words, Fallen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, I can't wait to think of the beautiful young lady."
"Walk!"
Although Shan Shan still looked playful, everyone could clearly sense the urgency in Shan Shan's heart, so they also speeded up and stepped into the door of the theater.
Buzz buzz!
The next moment, the sky and the earth were flowing, the mountains and rivers were changing, and what appeared in front of everyone was not the scenery inside the theater, but seemed to be inside a tent.
Outside the tent, there were faint sounds of singing coming from all directions.
"Thousands of miles of desolation and no return, why would you join the army for thousands of miles..."
The tone of this song is a bit strange. It has a hint of grace, but also a sense of great pride. At the same time, the intonation is also slightly different from the language Huang Shang and others have heard before.
This seems to be a kind of singing tune in Peking Opera.
"This is……"
Hearing the faint 'singing', Huang Shang was startled for a moment, and then his face changed slightly: "This is the song of Chu...the song of Chu who is besieged on all sides!"
"I know what the show is!"
"This is the most classic piece in Peking Opera - Farewell My Concubine!"
