I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 64 Who is the Cantonese Opera Master?
The young man was Chen Qingyuan. He was wearing a long gown bought from the opera troupe, with his sleeves half-lifted to cover his face. His voice came out of his throat, his face full of sorrow, as he sang sadly, "Who wants to see the flowers and candles turn into bloody waves? I have made a mistake and made you buried with me. I should bow to the flowers and candles with all my courtesy, and bow deeply before we drink the wedding wine together..."

Chu Renmei was stunned.

She sees the future of the theater industry in this young man. Appreciating a play is actually very simple, whether it is Cantonese opera or Peking opera or other plays, as long as the audience can understand the words, then the rest depends on the skills of the performer, whether he can make the audience feel the same as the character and achieve empathy, which is the so-called sense of substitution.

If this young man was born in her era...

Chu Renmei's long-forgotten memories began to awaken, everything about the past... When the face of the man named Park Wantian appeared, her long gown began to tremble and resentment grew.

She quickly regained consciousness.

Unconsciously, I took a few steps towards the young man who was singing opera in the deserted mountain...

This……

On the barren mountain, Chen Qingyuan sang two roles by himself, sometimes he was Princess Changping and sometimes he was the Prince Consort. The lyrics of the song were not very long, but it was very sad and strained his throat, and he felt dry and uncomfortable. The troupe owner told him that this was because he had not trained his basic skills. Even if he was very talented, his throat could not stand such singing without long-term training...

He regretted not bringing a bottle of mineral water to moisten his throat.

At this moment, the Bagua Jade Talisman on his chest began to heat up, and Chen Qingyuan suddenly became alert. It was worthwhile for him to spend 4,500 yuan to learn two Cantonese operas!

The big one is coming!
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the demon-subduing pestle and Guandao were hidden in the tear mole.

He continued singing as if nothing had happened. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he sighed, "Alas... Drama is declining. Nowadays, everyone wants to act in movies... Who can understand the essence of drama?"

Click.

The sound of branches breaking.

Chen Qingyuan turned around in "panic", which was originally a pretense, but after seeing who was coming, he was really shocked.

A woman who looked about 27 years old, with a pretty face, regular features and a long braid appeared in front of him. She was wearing a floral dress and cloth shoes with auspicious cloud patterns on her feet. She stared at him blankly with her eyes open and said, "It's very late now. You'll scare others if you sing here..."

The temperature of the Bagua Jade Talisman continued, but it did not reach the level of burning the skin. It just reminded Chen Qingyuan that the woman in front of him was not human.

Chen Qingyuan had seen movies before, so he naturally recognized the woman in front of him as Chu Renmei when she was alive. He calmed down his emotions and smiled, "What should I be afraid of as a grown man? It's nice to sing opera here in the wild mountains, but it's a pity..."

Chu Renmei: What a pity?

Chen Qingyuan looked at the bumpy ground on the barren mountain and said, "I am a collector of folk stories. I have traveled all over the country to collect stories. When I came to Hong Kong, I heard about an incident in Huangshan Village during the Republic of China period where a villager colluded with a teacher to murder his wife.

His wife is a famous Cantonese opera actress. If it weren't for this incident, she should have gone to the Ruwojing Opera Club to participate in Mr. Li's new movie. Alas...

I came here to collect this story. To pay tribute to this famous Cantonese opera star, I specially learned two songs, including the story of "Zhuangzi Testing His Wife". I planned to sing them to her in front of her grave, which would be considered to be her wish. But when I went up the mountain, I found that not only was there no grave... I didn't even know where her body was. "

Revisited.

Chu Renmei's hair moved without wind, but she was shocked to hear that Chen Qingyuan came just for her.

She placed her hands together on her belly, and her black nails slowly returned to their original color. Her resentment turned into a whirlpool and went down the mountain, withering flowers and plants wherever it passed.

"Her...her bones are gone. Something was being built here and many of the bones were moved away," she said.

Chen Qingyuan pretended to be surprised: "There should be a place for her to move away. I learned this Cantonese opera so that if she has a spirit, she can also feel what it is like to perform Cantonese opera that has been passed down from generation to generation."

"You are interested..."

Chu Renmei stood there quietly, her eyes looking towards the direction of the Huangshan Village Ancestral Hall without any ripples: "She is just a notorious 'whore' who should not be allowed into the ancestral hall. She is a woman who deserves to be thrown into a pig cage. What is there to worry about? She is too stupid. She has seen too many dramas. She actually believes that there is love that can last forever in this world... Hehe."

"shut up!"

Suddenly, a loud and powerful scolding startled Chu Renmei.

She saw the young man's angry face and was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Chen Qingyuan sneered, "Although I am not from the same generation as Chu Renmei, I am not a fool who believes everything I hear!

I have also inquired about many things along the way. Chu Renmei only adhered to the word "love" from beginning to end. It's just that her love was not entrusted to the wrong person, and she was framed and died a violent death!
I am not interested in who you are, but you just casually say words like "whore" and "pig cage" with nothing in your mouth. This is an insult to the deceased. You don't understand anything at all, you don't understand Cantonese opera, and you don't understand love!
I am chatting with people who understand Cantonese opera, you go..."

After Chu Renmei was subjected to such a barrage of "verbal violence" by Chen Qingyuan, she was completely stunned.

After she became a ghost, although she promised Li Qiang not to kill anymore, it did not mean that her hearing was closed and she was not aware of what was happening outside. After so many years, the old people in Huangshan Village would still tremble with fear when they heard the three words "Chu Renmei"...

She wandered around and saw too much of the love and hatred in the world, and she sneered at the so-called love. All those who did this and that in the name of love were just hypocrites...

Was expelled by Chen Qingyuan.

Chu Renmei was not angry. She smiled and said, "How could I know such a long time ago? I heard it from hearsay. You may not believe it if I tell you, but I am really a descendant of Chu Renmei's eldest sister. Thinking that the Zhongyuan Festival is coming soon, I came here to sweep Chu Renmei's grave and clean the grass. Who knew that there was no body in the grave. I was impatient and said nonsense. Please calm down..."

Chen Qingyuan's heart rate was actually a bit high, and he felt really guilty facing a famous evil spirit like Chu Renmei.

He tensed up and was ready to draw his Guandao and fight at any time.

Unexpectedly, the plan went smoothly.

Give her a scolding.

He even apologized to us.

Chu Renmei said, "My name is Adie, you can call me Xiaodie if you like. I also like Cantonese opera. I have never heard of the lyrics you just sang."

Chen Qingyuan knew that Chu Renmei had let down her guard and even had a little kindness towards him, so he quickly borrowed the donkey to go downhill, selectively forgetting what he had just scolded, and explained: "This song is called "The Flower of the Imperial Daughter" and it happened in the late Ming Dynasty, about the story of Princess Changping and her husband..."

He polished it a little and told the story of Princess Changping in a vivid and emotional way.

Chu Renmei looked miserable when she heard this. She recalled the lyrics she had just heard and said, "The person who wrote this lyric is truly a genius..."

The cold wind blew through the wild grass on the barren hills, and Chu Renmei's clothes swayed in the wind. She reached out to tidy up the messy hair hanging down from her temples and said, "You have also learned Zhuangzi's test of his wife, right? I have learned it too, can you... sing with me?"
