Chapter 289

In the reed lake south of Nanshui Town, with the arrival of the full moon night, this place finally revealed a strange place.

In the lake, a shaky trestle bridge appeared out of thin air.

Like a reflection in the water, its end disappeared in a black mist.

"Three Taoist priests, if you want to see the temple, just go through this plank road."

"Do I not need to go with you?"

"Hmm!?"

"Can you see the plank road in the lake?"

Yue Zhenshan, Uncle Jiu and Bai Miao could only see the reflection of the plank road in the lake.

But Mayor Shen could see the plank road, which fully demonstrated that Mayor Shen was not simple.

"Can't you see it?"

"Well, I really can't see it. It seems that I have to trouble you to take us through this section of the plank road."

"Uh-"

Chapter 352 Ghost Play of the Dark Moon

The dark moon hangs in the sky, and there are no stars.

After Mayor Shen led everyone through the plank road above the reed lake, they came to the mist.

Behind the mist is another world. This place is filled with a black mist that can limit the exploration range of the divine consciousness, and Yue Zhenshan's perception skill Jie Nianbo·Eye is also suppressed to a certain extent.

Mayor Shen led Yue Zhenshan and his group to the central temple.

"Autumn turns to winter and plum blossoms bloom, and the spring breeze penetrates the cold window. Several schoolmates come to meet and take the exam together to go to the capital. Ten years of hard study have kept the enthusiasm, and men should be self-reliant since ancient times. I came to my uncle's door to borrow money, and I was hesitant to knock on the door.

In the past, visiting my uncle was like a carp leaping into the spring river. Today's visit is not the same as before, as if it is choking in the throat. I'd better go back. How can I tell Xuantang when I go home? I will miss the good time."

When approaching the temple, a voice of opera suddenly came from the front.

Its voice was bright, high-pitched and graceful, as if it could pierce the sky and break the silence of the night.

There was also the sound of gongs and drums, which sounded like whispers at first, but later turned into a violent storm.

Following the sound,

I saw that a stage had been built in front of the temple.

At this time, under the shining moon, there were many illusory figures under the stage.

The lyrics were sung and mournful, but there was no cheering from the audience, and there was a commotion.

The front of the temple had already been filled with people silently, men, women, old and young, with strange smiles on their faces, watching the performance on the stage infatuatedly.

On the stage, the Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Chou, some raised their eyebrows and glared, some smiled playfully, and some were sad and happy.

The actors on the stage had different expressions!

At this time, these characters began to show their hands and feet on the stage.

The moon was blood red, and in the whole strange area, only the stage in front was lively, and various characters were vivid, performing the drama vividly.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Accompanied by the sonorous rhythm, the beautiful woman in flowery clothes, with light steps, appeared gracefully.

A glance and a smile, her eyes were flowing, captivating.

The willow waist swayed gently, and the woman began to sing, extremely gracefully, as if it was by your ear.

"Look at my cousin's hesitant words, and he seemed to have hidden feelings. My cousin, I lost my mother when I was young and was raised by my aunt, and you lost your father when you were young. My father treats you better than his own son. In the past, we were childhood friends and often visited each other. Is it inconvenient for you and me to discuss it now that we have grown up?"

The woman in the play has a gentle voice and a sad singing tone.

The introversion and shyness of the unmarried girl are vividly portrayed.

"I will visit my uncle another day!!"

The cousin who plays the role of the visiting cousin was surprised and guilty when he heard the words of his cousin.

"It's okay to sit for a while longer. Besides, you and I are like flesh and blood. You should know what kind of heart I have, Qiaoyun."

......

On the stage, the love between the young and the young.

It shows all kinds of life, as if it shows all the joys and sorrows of the world.

"What is this play?"

After traveling back to the special Republic of China period, Yue Zhenshan still couldn't appreciate the opera. He didn't know much about the content of the play on the stage, so he asked.

"This is "Nine Pieces of Clothes", or "The Blood Case of the Wedding Dress."

"The story is set during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty posted an imperial edict to select scholars from all over the world. Jiang Qiaoyun and her cousin Qian Yulin have been childhood sweethearts. Qian Yulin, who studied hard, wanted to go to Beijing for the exam, but his family was poor, so he came to his uncle's house to borrow money.

Cousin Qiaoyun saw that her father was not at home and could not take out much silver.

So she gave her nine wedding dresses, which she treasured, to her cousin to pawn as money for the exam. Fearing that the silver for the nine wedding dresses was limited, she also put an ingot of ten taels of official treasure and a pair of embroidered shoes in the bag as a token of her lifelong commitment..."

Yue Zhenshan, Uncle Jiu and Bai Miao are all Taoists. Now, only Mayor Shen, as a real dignitary, is familiar with these opera cultures.

In fact, this "The Blood Case of the Wedding Dress" was performed by Mayor Shen's grandmother, the Hua Dan who committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

Mayor Shen did not reveal the hidden truth.

As the opera was performed, the expressions of the "people" watching the opera in front of the temple became more and more crazy.

These people's emotions seemed to be controlled by the opera.

Suddenly, a person's soul floated out of his body.

The soul of this person had changed greatly at this time and had nothing to do with his original appearance.

Generally speaking, after a person's soul becomes a ghost, its appearance after death is similar to that when it died.

When the first soul floated out,

A coffin suddenly appeared from the ground in the center of the crowd.

When Bai Miao saw the coffin, his face changed immediately.

"It's that coffin, that coffin!!!"

"Brother Bai Dao, is this the coffin that was lost in Wang Yuanwai's house, the coffin where your senior brother lies?"

Yue Zhenshan guessed immediately after seeing Bai Miao's reaction.

"Yes, it's that coffin."

"I just don't know what's inside the coffin, and I don't know if my senior brother--"

Bai Miao said this, but didn't dare to continue.

According to the current situation, it's probably more dangerous than good, after all, this coffin began to devour souls.

In the strange domain, the souls of these controlled people have long been twisted and deformed by the mysterious power.

The souls of these people floated out of their bodies in unison.

Then they were swallowed by the mystery in the coffin.

The seemingly long process was just a blink of an eye, and the soul collection was completed.

Not even a chance to interrupt was given.

On the stage, after the last part of the play was finished, the people on the stage suddenly fell to the ground.

They seemed to have been hit, but the strange thing was that the souls of these people who sang the play did not fly out of their bodies and were swallowed by the strange coffin.

"Ka Ka Ka!!"

The coffin standing on the ground suddenly made a shattering sound.

The original wooden coffin should not make a sound like porcelain breaking, but under the effect of energy, the material of the coffin originally made of cypress has changed.

When the coffin broke into pieces and fell to the ground, the full picture inside the coffin was finally revealed.

"Senior brother?"

"Are you my senior brother, or something else?"

"Of course I am your senior brother. We grew up together. You loved to eat red bean cakes when you were a child. I still remember it!"

The coffin broke, and the 'Zhang Yuanqing' inside said to Bai Miao with a smile.

Hearing that Zhang Yuanqing still remembered his childhood, Bai Miao was relieved.

However, Yue Zhenshan did not relax his vigilance. He had been observing carefully. The person who came out of the coffin looked like a human being, without any ghost characteristics, very strange.

"Junior brother, I am still me."

"But you are no longer you, don't you realize that you have changed?"

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly released a smoke bomb, so Yue Zhenshan didn't react for a while.
