The gloomy young man looked at the darkness behind him, his eyes narrowed and his voice was dull:
"The rules of the theater troupe are that backstage, what ends is what comes up. Generally speaking, people who are not members of the theater troupe are not allowed to enter the backstage, especially when the theater troupe starts to sing."
"But these are all about the theater troupes outside. It's different here. Here we can enter the backstage, and when we enter the backstage, we are equivalent to the people who are going to die. So when I saw those ghosts just now, I directly chose to let
Say, let them pass, for those of us who are off the field must let those who are on the field."
"And as long as we give in, those evil spirits won't attack us. This can be said to be the rules of the troupe."
Hearing the Yin Ying young man's explanation, Cheng Yu and the woman immediately understood what was going on. But after one problem was solved, a new one popped up:
"Then why did we run so fast after those evil spirits passed by? Aren't you afraid that we might accidentally trigger some taboo?"
The gloomy young man looked at the woman who asked the question, looking at her like a smart person looking at a fool, while Cheng Yu had a thoughtful look in his eyes. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look in the direction he came from:
"Generally speaking, only after a play is finished and it is the turn of another play, someone will come on stage, and only after the people in the previous play have left the stage and the stage is vacated, can it be someone else's turn to perform.
"
At this point, Cheng Yu did not continue speaking, and the expression on his face was very solemn. After hearing Cheng Yu's words, the woman shrank and opened her mouth:
"In other words, there will be evil ghosts coming off the stage, and these evil ghosts will not stop attacking us just because we make way for them, so you just run away."
Hearing the woman's words, the Yinyi young man did not comment, but nodded and said:
"That's it. There are no such rules for the dead ghosts, so once we encounter the dead ghosts, we will definitely be attacked."
The Yin Ying young man's voice was very calm, and Cheng Yu and the woman shrank.
The shadowy young man withdrew his sight from the darkness and turned to look at the wooden door in front of him. This was the end of the corridor. As long as they passed here, they could reach the hall. If nothing else happened, their task would be easy.
"Go in later, don't touch anything, don't make any noise, don't run, just walk at a normal speed."
After saying that, the Yin Ying young man opened the door of the room and took the lead to walk in. Looking at the Yin Ying young man who entered the room directly, Cheng Yu and the woman turned their eyes slightly and followed them in without saying a word.
creak
After the three people entered the room, the door automatically closed tightly, footsteps sounded in the corridor, and five opera ghosts in costumes slowly appeared from the darkness.
As long as they slow down a bit, they will encounter these evil ghosts directly. It can be said that the time is just right.
In the room, the three of them looked at the boxes stacked on both sides. On each box was a bowl of rice with tachyons stuck in it. On the other side, there was a wooden shelf with painted face masks hanging on it.
Red, white, green, black, colorful, thirty-six in total, filling the shelves.
The gloomy young man shrank when he looked at the door of the room, and whispered to Cheng Yu and the other two:
"Go quickly, don't touch these things, and try to stay as far away from them as possible."
After hearing the warning from the Yin Ying young man, both of them realized the danger of these things, so instead of seeking death, they followed the Yin Ying young man and walked inside.
The room was not big. The three of them passed by the boxes with rice one by one. Along the way, they also saw a black umbrella placed in the corner and a chessboard placed in front of a shelf. It was chess. They
We all know each other.
In the west corner of the house, there was a square altar with a complete set of tributes, two sticks of red wax, three sticks of incense, and paper money under the altar, but it was not burned.
Two sticks of red wax and three incense sticks were lit, and the red candlelight was swaying in the room. The statue of the god on the altar was covered by a piece of red cloth. I don't know what god it was.
According to the tradition of the opera troupe, the person worshiped here should be the Xian Sheng Zhenjun, also known as Erlang Shen.
But if we were here, if we didn’t lift the red cloth, God knows what the altar would be enshrined in.
The three of them looked at all this. Cheng Yu and the two didn't think anything was wrong. They just thought these things were weird and dangerous. But the Yin Ying young man was different. When he saw these arrangements, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
Just a little bit can soak your back.
He knew the rules of the troupe, not just the rules outside, but also the rules here. But when he saw the layout here, he just felt that this was not a place for people to stay.
This troupe has taken all the taboos that should be taboo and shouldn't be taboo, such as you can't hold an umbrella backstage, you can't play chess, you can't cheat, etc.
But here it is, there is an umbrella upright in the corner, a box full of dumplings, a chess board placed directly under the shelf, and what’s even more terrible is that the altar is actually placed on the west side...
The Yin Ying young man felt that if the theater troupe could successfully open with this kind of arrangement outside, it would be because of the hard work of the people inside the theater troupe.
Looking at these arrangements, the Yin Ying young man swallowed his saliva, said nothing, and led the two of them carefully past these arrangements and towards the door in the room.
In the dim room, candles with red light were swaying slightly in the air. The woman looked at the two candles next to the altar, not knowing what to think.
When she passed by the chessboard, the corner of her clothes was suddenly blown slightly by the wind, and the corner of her clothes was accidentally brushed against the chessboard.
The woman did not notice this change, as her attention was attracted to the altar.
But at this moment, her vision blurred, and the world was spinning. When she regained her sight, she found that she was sitting in front of the chessboard, and sitting opposite her was an old man with a numb expression and a dark face.
.
Looking at this scene, the woman's eyes tightened and her eyes were full of fear. She just wanted to struggle, but she desperately found that no matter how hard she struggled, she could not stand up from the chessboard. The evil spirit in her body seemed to have disappeared.
Can't feel it.
And at this moment, the old man sitting opposite the woman stretched out his withered black hand, directly picked up a cannon on the chessboard, and ate her knight without hesitation.
Before she could react, her horse was gone. The moment her horse was eaten by the old man's cannon, the woman's face changed drastically, and an unspeakable fear spread in her heart.
