Chapter 88 Pillars
As a transportation hub for the surrounding waterways, Yun Chong will inevitably stay for a while again. Compared with ordinary county towns, this place is very prosperous, and the arrival of ordinary opera troupes will not cause any news.
Therefore, Yuchen occasionally entered Yunchong County these days. On this day, he suddenly saw a man with monkey face makeup on his face and danced on it. He was discomfort and knocked on the gong in his hand, shouting at the top of his voice: "Don't miss it when you pass by! When I first arrived at the precious land, I will perform here for one or two. I also asked all the fellow villagers to see, those who have money will support the money, and those who have no money will support the personal! "
As soon as the loud voice shouted, people looked at him one after another, and in a short while, a large circle of people surrounded the bamboo pole.
The person below saw it and asked immediately: "What are you acting like in this look!"
"Of course it's a monkey demon!" As he said that, the monkey-faced man with his legs around the bamboo pole leaned back, his head down, and his legs were on the top. The people around him cheered, and suddenly his feet loosened and his whole body slid down!
When the onlookers saw this scene, they were all shocked and shouted involuntarily.
The next second, the monkey-faced man touched the ground and a cloud of smoke emerged out of thin air, dissipating around. Three or four of them gathered together and turned into little monkeys to run around, one or two bowed to the surroundings, which was quite cute.
"Ahhhh! Look who am I?" A figure suddenly sounded in the crowd. When the people around him looked, they saw the monkey-faced man rushing out of it. They made all kinds of strange actions with the monkeys around him, which made many children laugh, and many young people were also talking.
There were a few children who wanted to run forward, but the parents around them seemed to have not seen it, but just as the children were running forward, a hand suddenly appeared on the side, pulling them away.
The next second, their parents were also surprised to find something wrong with their children, so they reached out to pull them back, and after saying a few words, somehow, they were a little scared and pulled the troubled child away without looking back.
The monkey-faced man playing with a few little monkeys changed slightly, but the makeup on his face was not a problem. He laughed and picked up the gong and beat the little monkeys around him. After each little monkey was beaten, it turned into smoke and dispersed. After he was left alone, he jumped and rushed to the curtain built on the other side.
Before entering, the monkey-faced man looked at the crowd deeply, with a faint strange color flowing in his eyes.
‘One of the three pillars of the opera troupe, Monkey Treasure.’ Yuchen saw clearly on the side. The monkey-faced man used smoke and illusion techniques to confuse the people around him, and then hid in the crowd very cleverly.
At the same time, the guy left a wisp of smoke on the bodies of several children as a mark when the smoke was dispersed.
If Yu Chen had not stopped these children just now and let them run in, he would be affected by the illusion and turned into little monkeys. To outsiders, it was the monkey-faced man who hid the little monkeys in advance, and when the performance ended, these little monkeys would also follow the monkey-faced man and return to the back of the curtain.
The little monkeys that had previously surrounded the monkey-faced man were mostly the dead souls of children, and some monkey souls were mixed with them.
As for the bodies of these children, Hu Daxiangu gave them to another pillar of the opera troupe - the Waxmaker.
This guy is proficient in corpse refining, and the reason why he is called a wax maker is because his best corpse refining is wax corpse.
As long as these wax corpses are refined and have a little means, they can make the corpse warm and smelly, and make sounds and movements as people touch them. They will not be damaged for decades. They are the favorites of many high-ranking officials and nobles.
Thinking of this, Yu Chen couldn't help but look at the newcomer who walked out of the curtain. This guy also had exaggerated makeup, but compared to the monkey treasure in front of him, the guy's face seemed to be a craftsman, and it seemed different.
A trace of cold light flashed in Yuchen's eyes, and a faint mist appeared around him, covering the breath of his home.
After the waxmaker appeared, his wide sleeves shook, and a small and delicate doll fell down. His fingers swayed, and the doll danced in front of him. His long sleeves shook again, and another doll fell down.
The next second, the two little dolls chased each other on the flat ground, and started a love, hate, and the onlookers applauded!
But I didn't know that the colleague who spoke at Zi was also entangled with the dead aura around the wax maker. As his mind fell on the doll's fight, he was drawn bit by bit.
The waxmaker tried on both sides and on both sides, but did not find Yu Chen's traces. He swung his hands and took the two small dolls back into his sleeves, and smiled and said, "This is the content of our new drama. Next, we will ask our pillars to sing a few words for you. Everyone, please, okay?"
"well!"
"good!"
There were bursts of cheers, and there were also a series of brisk music behind the curtain at the right time.
Immediately afterwards, a woman with graceful figure, black hair like a waterfall, light makeup, and elegant manners walked out from behind the curtain. She was wearing a costume and circled around the crowd under the music. After walking to the center, she swung her sleeves, turned her body, pressed her wrists, raised her pretty face, and made her debut.
A mouth has a sense of sorrow, and it makes people dream of it.
The onlookers couldn't help but look confused. Yu Chen, who had already left the crowd when the music was playing, suddenly clapped his hands after walking a little further. The crisp sound disrupted the illusion constructed by the combination of the music and the lyrics and resentment, and pulled everyone back to reality again.
‘Hmm?’ The woman raised her head and looked around. The crowd around her had already returned to the original liveliness after the applause. Many people also applauded. Now there were cheers around, and the woman could not tell the location of Yuchen at all.
Helplessly, she bowed and retreated behind the curtain. The Monkey Man took the stage again and pounded the gong and said loudly: "Our performance ends today. We will perform here in the next few days until three days later, the stage will be set up and there will be more exciting performances. Please give us a look!"
After saying that, he put the gong in his hand and smoke rose again under his feet. Several little monkeys ran out and bowed to the surroundings. Seeing this, most of the people around him immediately retreated, but many people threw out the scattered copper coins in their hands, mixed with some broken silver.
