Cheng Yu dropped the sparrow's true form on a branch, and after summoning his soul, he immediately sensed something strange in the jade gourd around his waist.
At this time, after this period of Qi training, Cheng Yu's Yuanshen could sense the changes in the surrounding Qi flow.
It turned out that the black dragon soul inside was too close to the statue in the ancestral hall. After the induction connection, it was absorbing the power of the incense and the wish. Even the general drunk in the jade gourd also had the power to nourish the soul. This black guy was very happy inside. He gently pulled out the jade stopper from the mouth of the gourd. When the black dragon saw its mouth opened at the top, it immediately floated on the surface of the wine, coiled in a circle and waited respectfully.
"Is it still useful?"
Cheng Yu asked calmly with a hint of joking.
"Well... thank you Master for your grace. My disciple's soul has been greatly benefited. I am deeply grateful. I will do my best for the rest of my life..."
"Bo"
Cheng Yu didn't wait for him to finish flattering him, and turned over and blocked the mouth of the gourd with a jade stopper.
Watching Qian Ruyu and his entourage gradually disappear, Cheng Yu returned to his original position.
"Pulling!"
……
Jia Fei was watching a play and was fascinated when she suddenly noticed a little sparrow falling on her shoulder, which made her tremble all over.
Cheng Yu was also very surprised. This was not like the alert cat demon in the past.
In the past, once he got close to the cat demon, the cat demon would be easily noticed, but today it was not until he landed on its shoulder that Jia Fei shuddered and realized that Cheng Yu was back.
What happened to this cat demon?
With some doubts, Cheng Yu summoned his soul to observe the cat demon, but found nothing unusual.
"What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Yu had been spending time with this cat demon and was too lazy to guess anymore, so he asked directly.
"Ah? Me? I'm so good!"
"Okay!"
As soon as the cat demon finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers again, causing the cat demon to quickly turn his head to look at the stage, and subconsciously shouted "hello" too.
At the same time, he took out a handful of shiny small coins from the brocade pouch on his chest and threw them on the stage with a "crackling" sound.
This cat demon has become a drama addict...
Cheng Yu immediately recalled the scene of watching the theater on the night of praying for the new year. This cat demon has been in a daze since watching those two scenes.
"Hey! Brother Cheng!"
After Jia Fei said hello, he turned back to Cheng Yu and asked:
"You think, if I also go on stage, will I sing better than them?"
Cheng Yu heard it and said it was true.
In fact, in this world, the general public is quite lacking in cultural life. Therefore, all the famous actors in the theater troupe are like the entertainment giants in previous lives, and are enthusiastically sought after by the common people and even wealthy aristocrats.
Even this little-known ordinary team from the capital is particularly favored when they go down to local governments, counties and towns.
If a great shape-shifting demon like the cat demon really steps onto the stage, with its superb imitation ability and perfect figure, it will probably stand out within a few months.
But this cat demon has lived for more than 300 years and has seen theater before. Why did he not become a theater addict until now?
Cheng Yu then asked this question to the cat demon.
Jia Fei was stunned when she heard this. She had just realized this problem herself.
Yes, I used to go to the theater often in Qingchuan County. Why have I never felt this way before?
Could it be that in the past, I was just a cat but had not transformed into a human form, so it was difficult to realize the warmth, warmth and warmth of humans?
Or maybe the freshness and uniqueness of this Beijing opera troupe's singing, chanting, and beating just struck a chord in my heart?
Hard to say...
Hard to say...
Seeing that the cat demon was also confused, Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head and thought to himself:
This cat demon suddenly transformed into a human form without any preparation before. There may be as many sudden enlightenments as there are unexplained doubts.
Since the cultivation of demons requires cultivating the human form first, then it is normal to fall in love with the person you love after transforming into a human form.
If you really love drama at this time, you can give it a try.
"Jia Fei, since you like it, don't ask where it comes from, just go ahead and do it."
Cheng Yu smiled and said to the cat demon.
Jia Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stared into Cheng Yu's eyes. After receiving a look of affirmative approval, he immediately nodded, pushed aside the crowd, and headed backstage.
"Xiao Yuexian, change your clothes quickly, it's your turn to go on stage."
There was a lot of hustle and bustle backstage, but no one noticed that there was a pretty woman in green shirt standing at the door, looking in.
Jia Fei saw the stage pillar in the troupe named Xiao Yuexian being urged towards the stage by the class leader, but could not find Hou Siniang.
"Where is the class leader?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Jia Fei simply asked loudly.
The originally chaotic backstage suddenly became quiet, leaving only the gongs and drums in the front court still sounding.
The class leader separated everyone and took a look at Jia Fei first.
How come this lady from a wealthy family still looks familiar? Look at her tone and demeanor...
Oh, no wonder she looks familiar. Isn’t this the lady who was throwing small sums of money from the audience to the stage?
"What do you do for this young lady?"
The class leader asked cautiously.
"The teacher is polite, I want to sing an opera."
"Ah?"
The class teacher was stunned for a moment and did not react.
In the past, there was a young lady from a rich and distinguished family who loved to play in the side room and became obsessed with drama, and found someone behind the scenes.
But they are all aimed at the famous actors in the major theater troupes in the capital, and they often get entangled until the end, and the endings are often unpredictable.
But this was the first time that his mediocre little troupe had encountered such a thing, so he couldn't help but react in time.
"Young lady, don't be joking. You...dare I ask which family you are from?"
"I'm... from the Qian family... don't worry, class leader, my parents, brothers and sisters are all dead, and I'm the only one left, so I came here with all my belongings."
Seeing that the other party was suspicious, the cat demon immediately remembered Hou Siniang's words just now.
However, this statement is true for herself. She has lived for more than three hundred years, and her whole family of cat mothers and cat parents has long been extinct.
The class leader was stunned again, wondering what day it was. He met two extremely beautiful beauties who wanted to join the troupe, and one of them competed with the other.
I originally thought that Xiao Yuexian, the pillar of the platform, already had the appearance of a fairy on earth, but now compared with this girl in green shirt...
There's no comparison at all!
Well...when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
"I'm really sorry, my troupe is full..."
Before the class leader finished speaking, he saw the lady opposite taking out a large handful of broken silver from the brocade bag on her chest, which looked like it could be melted into two large silver ingots worth thirty taels.
"What...Miss, what do you mean?"
"It's a small greeting gift, but it's not respectful. I hope the teacher will accept it."
"But... this... well, if the girl insists on joining the team, will she know how to act?"
After hearing this, Jia Fei took out two silver ingots from the brocade bag, each containing twenty taels.
"This is a complete training for teaching opera. I will definitely be able to appear on stage within a month."
The class leader looked at the white money in front of him, and then looked at Jia Fei opposite him. He felt a sense of unreality and quietly pinched his thigh.
It hurts.
He took two more silver ingots, touched the cold silver, and suddenly frowned, couldn't this silver be fake?
While he was thinking about it, he glanced down and saw that the silver ingots had been cut open to a small edge by steel scissors, revealing genuine silver inside.
He quickly put the money into his pocket.
Singing a concert for a full day's work only requires one or twenty taels of silver at most. With these one hundred or so taels, you can rest for half a year.
But this young lady came really unexpectedly. She had to earn money, but she also had to have life to spend it. The class leader thought about it and decided to be on the safe side and clean up the troupe first.
Thinking of this, the class leader chuckled and said:
"Young ladies can learn opera, but there are three rules in this class:
Before the young lady learns it, no one can live in the troupe;
Second, our troupe does not include meals for ladies;
Third, if there is something wrong with the young lady during this period, and it has nothing to do with this theater troupe, is it okay?"
"Good! Let's teach drama!"
The cat demon said nonchalantly.
"Okay! After singing this piece, let's break up the opera!"
After the leader shouted, he gestured to the gongs, drums, piano and Hu band, and immediately ran into the backstage with a lot of money in his front.
Hou Siniang also heard the noise at this time. Holding the costume that Xiao Yuexian had just changed into, she slowly walked out from behind the curtain on the other side and raised her eyes to see Jia Fei at the backstage door.
