Chapter 125 Why don’t you sing with me
Seeing that Caiyi didn’t move, the flower-faced man immediately stepped back a few steps, pulled away, and said with a smile:
“Junior sister, you This fire-breathing technique is really powerful! The old man also taught me this, but I didn’t think it was good enough, so I didn’t learn it very much. I didn’t expect you to use it very well! It’s perfect for performing on stage! I’ll have to study it carefully when I get back.”
The half-faced Lang Jun laughed twice, and he took out two thin willow knives from somewhere and was about to carry them. He went up to fight Cai Yi again with a knife, but suddenly found that Cai Yi had stopped moving.
He seemed to pause on the spot, his mind froze for a while, then he suddenly reached out and touched his face.
He slid his fingers down from his face and raised them in front of him for a closer look. Only then did he realize that the tips of his five fingers were stained with rich colors.
Cai suddenly realized that the mask on his face had been burned by the fire.
"...Old man." A smile appeared on Cai Yi's face: "What are you trying to do?"
The Flower Faced Man was silent for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing. Get up:
“You idiot, a human skin mask can deceive you, you’ve been fooled!”
Suddenly, he covered his face with his hands, then dropped them, turning into a clear face of a young man.
He laughed again and made faces one after another.
There are men, women, old and young, some with majestic and serious faces, some charming beauties, and even newborn babies, who can even imitate the voice!
"Junior sister, do you think I am good at playing? Do you look like me?"
He was singing and dancing to himself, dancing, singing, laughing, but Caiyi just stood there without any thought of attacking.
Not far away, Zuo Chen, who was watching in the hidden house, sighed.
Ever since the flower-faced man came out, Zuo Chen had already glanced at him using Guan Qi. But now, Cai Yi's eyes are shining with a slight light, and he is also using Guan Qi technique.
In their field of vision, even if the face of the flower-faced man is ever-changing, the aura on his body remains the same.
Exactly the same as the rickety old man at the beginning.
The one in front of me is Tang Qi.
The flower-faced man changed his face several times, but found that Caiyi still didn't move, so he finally stopped.
He stared at Caiyi, but he took dramatic steps and said in a tone of voice:
"The old man went to the east water. I touched him and saw that his words were suppressed. I was troubled, and my face was torn off and turned into a mask."
Looked at Caiyi again, and said in a cruel voice:
"Your face is too. Yes, I’ll take you down later and pluck your face!”
"Old man...Old man, can you...can you stop playing like this? I recognize you." Caiyi was a little at a loss, "Can we sit down and have a good talk? It doesn't have to be like this, what can't be said? ?”
The flower-faced man closed his mouth and didn’t speak for a long time.
Cai Yi carefully leaned towards Tang Qi in front of her, as if she wanted to reach out and touch him.
However,
The flower-faced man suddenly laughed, as if he was crazy, and stretched out his hand directly to push Cai Yi's palm away.
"I am a flower-faced man, not Tang Beggar!
"I was the one who killed the Beggar Gang when we entered Youzhou, and I also want to ruin your reputation!
"I was the one who made that human-dog child before. I killed him and brought him back to life. Watching him suffer made me happy!
"Those assassins were also hired by me. , It's a pity that they are useless, they can't even hurt your skin! ”
He smiled and took two steps back, walking further and further away from Caiyi.
"Three miles to the west, there is a deserted village. I will wait for you there for a day. If you come, you will sing this big show with me. If you don't come, then never see me again."< br>
Turn around, flick your sleeves, and recite the melody, walking farther and farther:
"In an instant, all the seven emotions have been tasted,
"The sad place is wet with tears clothes. ”
Singing like this, they walked further and further away, until the flower-faced man completely disappeared, but Caiyi failed to catch up.
She put down her hands dejectedly.
Zuo Chen quietly appeared on the side, some thunder and lightning rolled out of his hand, and with a flick of his fingertips, it flew to Tang Qi.
Tang Qi seemed to feel it, but he didn't get rid of the small ball of thunder, and just walked away by himself.
Through perception, Zuo Chen was able to confirm that Tang Qi was indeed walking towards a village on the plain and did nothing else.
Looking at Caiyi again, I found that her face was full of confusion, as if even the way forward was blocked.
"Taoist Priest, what should I do?"
She did not cry, but her voice was full of weakness.
......
Caiyi sat on the donkey cart for a long time, and she didn't recover until the sun was running towards the horizon.
Master Donkey was snoring next to him, spinning in circles in a hurry, but helpless and unable to speak. In the end, he could only lower his head silently, dejected.
Zuo Chen did not comfort Cai Yi, but just sat with Cai Yi.
This matter needs to be solved by Caiyi himself.
He can cut off Cai Yi’s cause and effect, but that requires Cai Yi to speak in person.
After a long time, Caiyi murmured:
"Taoist Master, I don't understand. Why did the old man do this? Which of his words was a lie and which of his words was true? Yes, I really don’t know.”
Zuo Chen patted Cai Yi on the shoulder.
Tang Lao's idea is complicated and awkward, and there may be some crazy parts in it. It is difficult to guess, but it is not traceable.
Scenes seemed to echo in Cai Yi’s mind.
At first, when the flower-faced man possessed the monk, he glanced at her, and his tone obviously changed at that time. After that, Sima Liang wanted Zuo Chen and others to go to the gambling village, and Tang Lao appeared on the way.
When meeting the human-dog child, Mr. Tang had said more than once that this recipe was extremely cruel and would take a long time to solve, probably just to hold him back.
He hired a killer, but then he killed a thief himself.
It was not until the end, after Mr. Tang left, that the flower-faced man was ready in front, dressed up and making his appearance.
Ke Caiyi really can’t understand why Mr. Tang made such a big detour?
Maybe you are worried about getting hurt? Or maybe he didn't want to see his past filled with blood and corpses?
It's like keeping all the good things to yourself, and separating all the bad things, and perform a big drama called life in front of Caiyi.
"The old man just said that he killed many people. He killed the Beggar Gang and he harmed the child. I saw him using the Guan Qi technique to see that he was covered in turbid qi. I thought It was something he did wrong in the past, but I didn't expect that his hands would be stained with so much blood now. I should have said: Kill the evil spirit, but..." Cai Yi finally said in his voice. With sobs:
“That’s my only relative.
“I have no parents, the old man raised me so much, and he almost gave me my life. Why is he like this? He shouldn't be like this. He is a good man! ”
Her voice was trembling and crying, and the tears that were swirling in her eyes finally burst out and flowed down her face.
Hiding his head between his knees, he shed tears silently. After a long time, he finally raised his head, with a dull look in his eyes.
"Then what are you going to do?" Zuo Chen asked.
"I..."
Caiyi fell into silence.
What to do?
Have you never had any contact with him? Turn a blind eye to the evil things he did?
When walking through Xuzhou, Caiyi had already seen so many evil things in Manchuria, and there were countless people who did harm to others.
If the evil thief there were in front of her, she would kill him directly without any hesitation.
What if this person is replaced by Tang Qi?
She bit her lip lightly, as if she had made up her mind.
“...I have to go see him. At least I have to know what he thinks.
“Why do you have to do this if you want to do something?
“What bothers me most is that this old man is vague and doesn’t tell the truth. Now he is like this. I can’t bear it.
“Since he wants to act, he wants to be a actor. With such a senior brother, I will act with him. It was clear that the stage was about to be completed, but it ended halfway. I didn't have time to play such a rivalry with him. This time it was just right!
"Maybe he is just lying. Maybe I really have a senior brother who forced him to do this. Have a good talk and everything can be solved.
"If the old man is really hopeless Medicine, I...I will...I will take action and personally die for him. "
Caiyi finally squeezed out these words from her throat, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
After sitting for a while, Caiyi finally stood up and faced Zuo Chen bowed deeply.
"Taoist Master, I hope you won't take action this time. I want to solve everything myself. This is a calamity in my life that I must overcome by myself. ”
Zuo Chen nodded.
“Do you want to go to that village?”
“Of course I want to go.”
“When will you leave?”
Caiyi glanced at it The sky.
The moon was already halfway up in the sky, and the night was not too dark.
“Leave now.”
Touched his face with his hands and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
......
Walk along the main road towards the plain for a while, and you will see the shadow of a dilapidated village on the horizon not far away.
The village was not too small. It was marked on the map given by Sima Liang, but there was no description of how it was abandoned.
Or they were too close to the dense forest, and the evil spirits in it made the people panic, and finally broke up and went to other villages. It may also be that life here is simply not good, so they left here and looked for a place more suitable for making a living.
The village has long been abandoned, and this place has long been uninhabited. But when Caiyi stepped on the path that was already covered with weeds, the village in front of him was bustling with activity.
The sound of gongs, drums, suonas, and the human drama of babbling and singing can be clearly heard from outside the village:
"Life is full of hardships, and happiness is hard to find. Singing a long play alone is unbearable.
"I still need to put thick makeup on my face and hide my sincerity, so that I can sing with all my dreams of rise and fall, play with all my sad sighs, and play with ease!"
Looking back, I looked back and stood guard not far outside the village. Zuo Chen and Caiyi walked into the abandoned village.
The village was deserted, but it was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights and was very lively.
Going to the deepest point, I finally saw a huge platform set up in the middle. It was empty except for two large doors, standing on the left and right.
One door says "Coming out of the general" and the other says "Entering the phase".
Lang Jun, who had repainted the flower pattern, suddenly walked out of the gate, came to the center of the stage, and struck a pose.
Then, he waved his sleeves and looked back at Caiyi as if dancing.
At this time, Cai Yi clearly saw his old face and white temples.
Half of his face is that of a flower-faced man, full of smiles, and half of his face is that of a beggar, gentle and kind.
He also saw Caiyi and smiled with satisfaction:
"Colorful clothes, come on stage and sing an opera."
Life is long, let's sing a big opera
