According to legend, ghost Nuo opera is a witchcraft activity developed by ancient humans in order to eliminate disasters and dangers. It is spread in the Meishan area of ​​western Hunan.

In fact, the Ghost Nuo opera is not performed by a troupe, but only by one person.

The people who listen to the ghost and Nuo opera are not living people, but dead people.

Ghost Nuo opera is not performed in prosperous places, but only in deep mountains and old forests. A simple grass platform is built, and the ghost opera performers go up and sing. With this one performance, they can sing from dusk to dawn. All the lonely ghosts from hundreds of miles away will be attracted by his opera, and they will sit obediently in the audience and listen to the ghost actor singing.

After a play, the ghost actors will ask for benefits from the ghosts. The ghosts can use their lifetime belongings, unknown secrets, or even the good fortune and longevity of future generations as rewards. , for the ghost actor.

The ghost actor was happy, sang another song, and then sent these lonely ghosts to the Paradise.

If the ghost actor gets angry after not getting any benefits, he will sing a song "Carrying the Plum Mountain". The lonely ghosts will be frightened after listening to it, and the song can even drive them to death!

Therefore, ghost actors are both ferrymen and highwaymen of the underworld, and their reputations are mixed.

Due to the special nature of ghost Nuo opera, the fate of every ghost actor is extremely tragic, even more miserable than that of a descendant of Luban like Yan Shouyi.

They were born with disabilities. When they were young, they would suffer from serious illness and many dangers. When they grew up, the ghost actor master would come to their door and spend a small amount of money, or simply rob them. The "disciple" he liked was snatched away.

In most cases, parents who have lost their children will not look for them. They will only feel relieved and even give away the missing child without any money.

The children who were taken away by the ghost opera masters first had to cut off their faces so that they could wear masks for singing ghost opera, and then their vocal cords were destroyed to change the disciple's voice. The sound was extremely unpleasant and sharp, and after that, the disciples were asked to practice the weird singing style of ghost Nuo opera in front of the dry well every day.

If ordinary people hear it, they will only find it unpleasant and disgusting. After listening to it for a long time, they may even feel flustered and want to vomit.

But ghosts like to hear this kind of drama.

When you can practice until you can’t stand the snakes, insects, rats, and ants hiding under the dry well, and when you escape from the cave, this will be the first step.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost actor master will take his apprentices to some deserted graves or mass graves, "open a small stove" for them, and use the lonely ghosts there to practice their courage and open their mouths.

Sometimes those lonely ghosts are not happy to hear that, baring his teeth and claws to eat his disciple, the ghost actor master did not stop him.

Because ghost Nuo opera places great emphasis on talent. If you are not talented enough, you will have to accept your fate if you are eaten by a ghost.

With this coming and going, it is very difficult for Gui Nuo opera to be passed on, and their sect disappeared even earlier than the Luban sect.

With such stringent inheritance conditions, even if it does not experience war and technological progress, it will be eliminated by history.

When Yan Shouyi was a child, he heard his grandfather briefly mention a ghost Nuo opera. Even though he had followed his grandfather for many years, he had never actually seen a ghost Nuo opera.

Unexpectedly, the boss of the New Xuanshan Sect turned out to be a successor of ghost Nuo opera.

Li Genmiao...

This name sounds like a nickname, and it also fits his miserable first half of life.

"Li Genmiao...why do I want to kill you?" Yan Shouyi asked.

The old Heavenly Master closed his eyes and said calmly: "Maybe it's because I didn't help him before."

"So you don't know why?" Yan Shou Yi Yi said anxiously, "If the secret letter is not deceptive, people from the New Xuanshan Sect may have sneaked into Longhu Mountain at this moment. You should prepare as soon as possible to deal with these madmen."
< br />　"I understand." The old Heavenly Master nodded.

Seeing that the old Heavenly Master reacted so indifferently, Yan Shouyi thought that his vision was too high and he could not look down on Li Genmiao and this gang of people.

But Yan Shouyi has said everything he can, and there is nothing he can do if the Heavenly Master doesn't take it to heart.

So Yan Shouyi frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally clasped his fists and said: "Old Master, I have done my best to benevolent and righteous. If someone from the Xinxuanshan Sect really comes in, then I and my Friends, we will try our best to stay at Longhu Mountain until the end, and please take care of yourself.”

In the final analysis, Yan Shouyi and Lao Tianshi are not relatives, and even Lao Tianshi still He single-handedly created the chat group of the Anti-Yan Chou Alliance. Yan Shouyi was able to do this, which is indeed the most benevolent and righteous thing.

The old Heavenly Master opened his eyes and said with a smile: "You fight hard for the position of Heavenly Master, so what if I die?"

"I..." Yan Shou Yi Yi asked in confusion, "Why do you value me so much?"

"It's not you, but Longhu Mountain." The old Heavenly Master said and glanced at Yu Luming inadvertently.

Yu Luming finally showed some expression, his brows furrowed tightly.

Yan Shouyi sighed, clasped his fists and resigned, walking out of the Tianshi Palace.

Yu Luming hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and closed the door, and then said to GodThe master said: "You should take precautions."

"There are so many people in Longhu Mountain, nothing will happen." The old master said indifferently.

……

Yan Shouyi walked out of Tianshi Palace worriedly and saw Zhang Sishui guarding outside.

Zhang Sishui was curious about what Yan Shouyi said to the old Heavenly Master, but he couldn't bear to ask. He just stood on the road that Yan Shouyi must pass before leaving, waiting for Yan Shouyi to take the initiative to speak. greet.

Who would have thought that Yan Shouyi, who was worried, had no interest in saying more to Zhang Sishui, and simply ignored his existence, preferring to take a detour rather than go in the direction of Zhang Sishui...< br />
Zhang Sishui suddenly lost his temper: "Yan Shouyi! Do you know etiquette?"

"A village man in the mountains does not know etiquette."

Yan Mamoru answered without replying, causing Zhang Sishui to choke.

It’s you who calls me a savage all day long. Isn’t it normal for savages to not know etiquette?

Zhang Sishui suffered the disadvantage of being mute and could no longer make things difficult for Yan Shouyi. He could only watch this guy leave.

Finally, he muttered helplessly: "With such a bad boy, what makes my precious disciple worthy of liking him?! What a bad fate, what a bad fate!!!"

　……

It was a peaceful night.

At Chen time the next day, everyone gathered again at the Wanfa Sect Altar.

The Luotian Dajiao has a total of three days. On the first day, auditions were held. On the second day, we will speed up and directly select the top two from the top 32 and let them rest for a while. In the evening, after recuperating, the final competition will be held on the third day.

So, there are many fights to be fought today.

From thirty-two to sixteen, sixteen to eight, eight to four, four to two, it takes four rounds, a total of thirty games!

In order to prepare for this high-intensity competition, each sect has also prepared various elixirs for the participating disciples to take, trying to prevent them from being unable to move forward due to injuries.

Lao Jin also made preparations for this. He filled Yan Shouyi's Dongwang gourd with pills, which can be taken out for everyone to take at any time.

Only Yan Shouyi does not need these, because he is a corpse puppet of the gods.

"Isn't Lin Zitong here yet?"

After everyone stood still, Luo Ning asked Yan Shouyi.

Yan Shouyi sighed: "I called her yesterday. It's the rainy season recently. There was a landslide on the way to Longhu Mountain and many people were buried. She stayed there.It took a little time to save people...but we will arrive by the afternoon at the latest. "

Luo Ning smiled and said: "Finally I don’t need to monitor you anymore. "

"Do I still need surveillance? ! Yan Shou said angrily, "I talk to you more often than I talk to Zhao Yiyao." ”

Yan Shouyi was about to rectify his reputation when the familiar sound of the gong sounded again, attracting everyone’s attention.

Longhu Mountain The second elder stood up again and announced to everyone:

"Today there will be four rounds of competition, and the final two will be selected from the thirty-two people. Please be prepared and come to draw lots! ”

It was still the familiar way of drawing lots. Yan Shouyi got Tiger Bing.

He looked around, but at first glance he didn’t see the other Tiger Bing. .

But at this moment, Long Feicheng wailed.

“It’s over, Barbie is having sex, what else is this? ! "

When everyone took a closer look, they saw that Long Feicheng was holding the rat armor number plate, proving that he was going to be the first to play.

The first one Playing on the field is not a problem, the problem is that the other rat armor number plate is in the hands of Wudang Mountain Senior Brother Zhao Chengxiang.
