Chapter 53
Outside the bamboo forest,
everything was calm and peaceful. It was completely dark.
There was a private house not far away, with bright lights shining on the lawn. The golden retriever guarding the door kept barking in the direction of the bamboo forest.
Chu Yueling came here with a compass and a peach wood sword.
"Dandan and I always meet here. The scenery is nice and there is a bay at the outermost." Yu Feiyang pointed to the bamboo forest in front.
Chu Yueling looked at the faint black air above the bamboo forest. It was like a hood covering the sky. The black air was evenly distributed in the bamboo forest and did not spread to the surroundings.
In other words, it could not harm anyone except the bamboo forest.
"Interesting."
The people inside seemed to know she was coming.
As soon as I stepped into the bamboo forest,
the barking of dogs and the sound of the waves disappeared. The space was so quiet that I could not hear any movement except Yu Feiyang's nervous and rapid breathing.
It was as if I had walked out of a cave, and the dark place gradually became bright.
The singing of Cantonese opera came.
"The falling catkins and flying flowers have insulted your elegance, Bai Xiucai, give me back my hairpin..."
The lights on the stage intertwined, and the Hua Dan waved her sleeves so that her face could not be seen clearly.
The audience was sitting in the audience, including the elderly, the young, and children holding sugar paintings. They all wore long robes and had pale faces and no expression.
Yu Feiyang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He retreated to the back of Chu Yuexi in fear: "Master Chu, when did the stage come out in the bamboo forest?"
"Let's take a look first." Chu Yuexi looked around.
There was a tall man sitting in the last row wearing a windbreaker. He was dressed differently from the other people in robes and was particularly conspicuous.
Chu Yuexi thought the back looked familiar and was a little surprised: "Officer Zhou?"
Zhou Fengxu obviously didn't hear it. He looked ahead with a cold expression. He sang the sad tune one after another. His slender and bony fingers followed the rhythm and slowly beat the rhythm on his legs.
Chu Yuexi: ...
He had a cold temperament. A large amount of black air gathered around him but couldn't get close. There was only a faint black mist on his head.
Because Zhou Fengxu is a police officer of CID, he has accumulated a lot of merits for redressing the injustice of the victims and he is also upright, so the ghost energy cannot approach him.
Chu Yueqing grabbed the peach wood sword and swung it over his head, slashing the black air that was shrouding him. After the black air dispersed, she quickly pulled the man up.
Zhou Fengxu suddenly woke up, and when he looked sideways, he saw a small head next to him. The girl put down the peach wood sword and smiled, "Hi, Officer Zhou."
Yu Feiyang also greeted him, "Sir Zhou."
Although the two were not in the same department, they both worked in the Kowloon Police Station, and they would see each other every day. Especially the D team was very efficient in solving cases, so they naturally heard of Zhou Fengxu's name.
Yu Feiyang looked at the men, women, old and young, and lowered his voice, "Do you know what happened?"
Zhou Fengxu looked at the stage in front of him, and his eyes swept over other places. It was pitch black all around with no exit.
"Not too sure. But it seemed to be a bamboo forest when I came in."
Since his life was saved by the yellow talisman, his values have changed a lot.
With psychological preparation, it is easier to accept the current situation.
A thin white mist began to rise all around.
What will happen next is unknown.
Zhou Fengxu stood sideways in front to block the two people. He looked back first at Yu Feiyang and then at the girl holding the peach wood sword.
"If you want to go over and take a look, you stand a little further back."
The tune had stopped, and when everyone looked at the stage again, there was no one.
The three people walked towards the stage. Yu Feiyang looked left and right. When passing by the seats, a child suddenly fell down and grinned at Yu Feiyang. Yu
Feiyang was startled.
Chu Yueling made a sword flower with his right hand.
The child saw the peach wood sword, shrank his head in fear and ran away holding the sugar painting.
"It's okay, they are all wandering souls with incomplete souls."
Chu Yueling put away the peach wood sword. If the wandering souls don't report to the underworld for a long time, they will gradually forget their memories, and unfortunately they will lose their three souls and seven spirits.
The child just now obviously lost one soul. Yu
Feiyang had prepared himself mentally before entering the bamboo forest, but he was just not afraid of Dandan, but he would still be afraid of other lonely ghosts.
He followed Chu Yueqing closely, not daring to look around.
"Master, what's going on in the bamboo forest? I've never encountered this before when I came to find Dandan."
Chu Yueqing looked at the dark black air in the sky and explained, "When people die tragically, they will be bound to this place and become undead. Most of these undead have resentment and will become evil spirits over time."
"This domain is a web woven by Dandan's resentment."
Yu Feiyang grasped the key point: "In other words, Dandan is also in it now?"
"Yes." Chu Yueqing frowned at the heavy resentment.
If what Yu Feiyang said was true, and Dandan didn't want to hurt people, then why did she set up this ghost domain?
If the resentment doesn't dissipate,
you can't get out of the ghost domain.
The three people stepped onto the stage.
Zhou Fengxu lifted the curtain of the stage, and the backstage was suddenly brightly lit. The opera staff in the backstage were busy, some wearing wigs, some wearing costumes, and the small space was crowded with people and full of laughter. It
was completely different from the depressing and terrifying atmosphere outside.
If everything hadn't happened too weird.
Yu Feiyang would have thought this was reality.
His eyes searched everywhere, feeling anxious, "Dandan? Dandan is there?"
Suddenly, another person lifted the stage curtain and shouted to them: "Dandan, you want someone to send you flowers again."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Not far away, there was a female actress sitting in front of the camera removing her make-up. Her assistant was helping her to remove her heavy wig. She took a make-up remover towel and wiped it slowly. Half of her clean and beautiful face was exposed to the air. Who else could it be but Dandan?
Zhou Fengxu had just watched the play for quite a while, and he still had some memories. He looked back and asked, "Who was the one singing outside just now?"
"It should be." Chu Yueqing didn't look too closely. Yu
Feiyang, on the other hand, showed a relaxed smile.
"It turns out that Dandan was a Huadan in her lifetime. She sang really well."
He didn't mention the fact that he was almost scared to death just now.
Yu Feiyang was anxious to see if Dandan was okay, so he ran over. Guo Fengdan got up and walked out after removing her makeup. The two bumped into each other, and Guo Fengdan turned into mist and gradually condensed.
"Don't shout, it's useless." Chu Yueqing shouted, and took another look at the surrounding environment, "This is an illusion, let's take a look first."
The curtain of the stage was lifted again.
A chubby little girl in a cotton padded jacket brought in water, her pigtailed face rosy and smiling happily, "Sister Dandan, wash your face quickly."
"Okay, thank you Xiaodie for your hard work." Guo Fengdan also smiled, took the water and put it on the table, and scooped up a handful of water to thoroughly wash off the heavy makeup on her face. "
No, my mother said that it is my blessing to serve Sister Dandan. Sister Dandan is the youngest Zhengyingdan. I hope I can learn more from Sister Dandan and become a Zhengyingdan soon in the future." Xiaodie smiled brilliantly.
Zhengyingdan is the first female lead in the class.
The competition is fierce, and many people want to sing Guo Fengdan. At the age of 16, she already performed on stage with this title. On the first day, she received continuous applause and became a big star in the opera world.
"Being a Zhengyindan? Aren't you afraid that it will be painful to lose weight?" Guo Fengdan gently wiped her oval face with a towel. The wide-mouthed sleeves of her costume were not yet changed, and she tapped Xiaodie's cheek with a smile.
"Don't be afraid." Xiaodie rolled up her sleeves in her cotton-padded jacket and puffed up her small chest, "You have to endure hardships to become a great person!"
"Yes, is it true that a film company wants to take you to act in a movie?"
Xiaodie's small eyes were full of curiosity.
At the film company, the only people who can go to film are the stars with posters on the streets. So it turns out that Zhengyindan can also go?
"Yes, but I haven't made up my mind yet." Guo Fengdan looked around, squatted down to the same level as Xiaodie, and whispered with her slender orchid fingertips on the side of her face, "My mother said that I should go out and show my face to more people, but she doesn't agree."
"After all, I begged for a long time to sing opera."
"Really." Xiaodie squatted on the ground, holding up her chubby little face with both hands, worried, "Opportunities are rare. If I miss this time, I don't know when the next time will be."
Seeing Xiaodie's worries, Guo Fengdan smiled lightly and pulled Xiaodie to stand up, "It's okay, Sister Dandan will find a way."
"Great!" Xiaodie clapped happily.
Although she said so, she still hasn't made up her mind.
Guo Fengdan likes to sing opera, but how can she want to make a movie if she hasn't sung enough operas? Although the people in the film company said that she could sing and film at the same time.
But...
is it really possible?
She hesitated, fearing that she would lose the other.
Heavy boots squeaked as they stepped on the wooden boards.
The next moment.
A gun lifted the curtain.
Guo Fengdan was startled and hugged Xiaodie. Then the owner of the opera troupe came in with a group of military officers wearing yellow rifles. The leader
was a man in his forties. He put away his gun and smiled when he saw Guo Fengdan, "Are you Miss Guo?"
The owner hurried out to introduce: "Dandan, this is Marshal Sun. He just listened to The Purple Hairpin in the audience. He admired you very much and brought a gift."
As soon as the owner finished speaking, a soldier came out holding a box full of treasures.
"I hope Miss Guo will accept it." Marshal Sun smiled.
"Marshal Sun's offer is too big, Fengdan dare not accept it." Guo Fengdan did not understand what Marshal Sun was up to. She was not happy but full of fear when she saw the box full of treasures.
It is said that this Marshal Sun is a military commander from the north, who has killed many people and has 12 concubines.
I don't know why he wants to give her something.
Marshal Sun was rejected and his face turned cold.
"Miss Guo is really grand."
The owner of the troupe was anxious, and he winked at Guo Fengdan behind Marshal Sun's back, "No, Dandan will definitely accept it. Dandan?"
The owner of the troupe had said long ago that military commanders are inhumane and will kill if they are unhappy.
Guo Fengdan had no choice but to accept it for the sake of the opera.
After that,
Sun Dashuai came more and more often, and the gifts he brought became more and more expensive.
Finally, one day,
Sun Dashuai sent three books, six gifts, four betrothal gifts and five gold coins, and said, "Fengdan, you are not allowed to perform on stage after tomorrow."
"Why?" Guo Fengdan had just dressed up and was drawing her eyebrows, "Why can't I perform on stage again?"
"You will be the thirteenth concubine of my Sun family." Sun Dashuai said with a stern face, "I am a marshal, how can a concubine show up outside for people to enjoy?"
Guo Fengdan was so shocked that the eyebrow drawing pen fell on the stage, and her robe turned around on the ground and she got up in a hurry.
"Marshal Sun, did you misunderstand me? When did I ever agree to be your thirteenth concubine?"
Marshal Sun looked down at me, touching the gun on his waist, and smiled coldly: "Anyway, the marriage date has been chosen, you have to do it whether you want to or not." As
soon as he finished speaking, Guo Fengdan was roughly dragged out of the door by the soldiers.
