(Thanks: A fish drifts away, and the two of you rewarded me when I was dreaming. Thank you Xiahou Haoyue, I have your 8870 votes along the way. I send you a big chapter.)
The curtain opened, and a scorching light illuminated the stage. Those who were interested soon discovered that the roof above the stage actually slid to both sides to become an open-air stage. It was afternoon, and the scorching sunlight shone down from the top, and the area around the stage suddenly
It was extremely hot. Under the reflection of the large bronze mirror, sunlight scattered throughout the theater, and everyone suddenly seemed to be in the open air. The temperature in the theater rose sharply, and everyone seemed to be exposed to the scorching sunlight.
Grilled in general.
This is exactly what Lin Jue carefully designed for this play. To this end, he spent five days and five nights to renovate the roof at the top of the stage, and installed a rough-ground bronze mirror on the top of the second floor to diffuse sunlight into the theater.
Among them, it took a lot of effort to make the sunlight scatter throughout the theater without piercing the eyes and ears so that people cannot see. But what Lin Jue wants is to strive for excellence, because this third scene is the entire play.
The essence of the performance is that Jiangnan Grand Theater has always been a leader in the industry, and there is no room for sloppiness.
When all the audience was restless, a white-faced official appeared on the stage surrounded by a group of guards holding umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun.
"That's what you mean by going to jail and beheading an official. Today, the prisoners will be executed. Officials will guard the entrance to the alley, and no one will be allowed to walk around."
The gongs and drums sounded three times each, and amid the harsh reverberation, the ghost-headed knives held in the hands of several shirtless executioners shone brightly in the sun, piercing the ears and eyes. Dou Duanyun, dressed in white, was pushed onto the stage by several guards.
At this time, Dou E was staggering, with scars on her face. Dressed in white, compared with the tall and strong executioner beside her, she looked even more frail and pitiful.
"There is no reason to violate the king's law. If you don't take precautions, you will be punished. The screams are shocking! In an instant, the wandering soul goes to Senluo Palace first. How can it not complain to heaven and earth? There are sun and moon hanging in the morning and evening, there are ghosts and gods holding the power of life and death. Heaven and earth
Yes, we can only distinguish between pure and turbid, but how can we get confused and disturb the thieves, Yan Yuan? Those who do good will suffer poverty and their lives will be shortened, and those who do evil will enjoy wealth and longevity. Heaven and earth are designed to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak, but it turns out that
This is how you push the boat along with the current. Earth, you don't distinguish between good and bad. What is earth? Heaven, you are wrong about the wise and foolish, and you are in vain for heaven! Alas, only two tears fell."
Xie Yingying sang with tears in her eyes, and the audience burst into tears. The women cried loudly, and the men gritted their teeth and had red eyes.
…
"This word... was written by you?" Fang Dunru finally couldn't help but ask.
Lin Jue did not answer. Fang Dunru turned to look at Lin Jue, and suddenly found that Lin Jue's expression was a little dazed, his body seemed to be shaking slightly, his fists were clenched, and his teeth were clenched. Fang Dunru was a little strange, this play was Lin Jue's.
He wrote it himself. How could he be affected by the characters in the play and feel sad and angry just like the audience?
How could Fang Dunru know what Lin Jue was feeling at this moment? What Lin Jue remembered at this moment was the scene before his execution in the last life. At the crossroads, the same scorching sun, the same piercing gongs and drums, the same sweating, the same
of despair and helplessness.
"There is no reason to violate the king's law, and he will be punished without warning. His screams are shocking to the heavens! In an instant, the wandering soul goes to Senluo Hall first, how can he not complain to heaven and earth?" For Lin Jue, aren't these four sentences the same as what he said back then?
A portrayal of him? He didn't do anything, he didn't do anything, but he was beheaded. Although he felt it was a kind of relief before death, but in the face of death, who can not be afraid? Lin Jue naturally clearly remembers his original state of mind.
, especially when the flash of the sword in the executioner's hand on the stage pierced his eyes, the situation and mood at that time came to mind, filling Lin Jue's heart in an instant.
…
The executioner shouted: "Move quickly, you will be late."
Dou E sang: "It's a pity that I am alone and have no relatives, so I can only swallow my voice and complain in the air."
The executioner asked: "Don't you think your parents' family also has any?"
Dou E said: "I only have one father. He went to court to get married thirteen years ago, but there is no news yet. It has been more than ten years since I last saw my father."
The executioner frowned and said, "You asked me to go to the back street just now. What was your idea?"
Dou E said: "If you're afraid, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will see you in the front street."
The executioner said: "You don't care about your life. Why are you afraid that he will see you?"
Dou E sang with tears in her eyes: "If my mother-in-law saw me going to the execution ground in shackles and having a knife, it would be useless to kill her with anger, brother. It would be useless to kill him with anger! Brother, tell me, in times of danger, it's better to make things easier for others." "
The executioner sighed and nodded.
…
The theater was hot and irritable. The air was filled with desperate silence. The audience listened to the last dialogue before execution with tears. They sighed at Dou E's kindness and well-behavedness, which gave rise to sympathy for Dou E. .They eagerly hope that things can turn around. They don't believe that Dou E will really be executed. They hope that someone will suddenly appear from nowhere, kill the corrupt official, and rescue Dou E. As seen before, everything Like other plays, they hope for a happy ending.
However, as the bells and drums rang again, the supervisor looked up at the sky and reached out to touch the token.
"Wuna, stay back, the time has come." the supervisor shouted.
Granny Cai let out a mournful cry and was pulled aside by the messenger. The executioner untied the shackles around Dou E's neck and took a sip of wine to smear the blade of the knife. Dou E knelt in front of the wooden pier to behead her head.
"Then Dou E, do you have any last words to say?" the supervisor said.
Dou E said: "Sir, if you are willing to obey Dou E in one matter, you will die without any regrets."
The supervisor frowned and said, "If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. The time has come."
Dou E raised her head and said: "I want a clean mat, let me, Dou E, stand on it. I also want two feet of white practice to hang on the flag gun. If I, Dou E, are really unjust, my head will fall off where the knife passes, and my blood will be withered." Even if it sticks to the ground, it will fly to the ground."
The supervisor thought for a while and said: "It's up to you. It doesn't matter what you do. When someone comes, prepare according to her instructions and hurry up!"
A group of officers immediately prepared. Some people complained: "You are still tormenting us when you are about to die. Why do you make such a headless wish? It's a hot day."
Dou E sang softly: "It wasn't me, Dou E, who punished such a headless wish, and the grievances are real. If there are no spiritual saints to pass it on to the world, there won't be a clear blue sky. I don't want half a star of blood to be spilled in the mortal world. Only the eight-foot flag and spear are hanging in plain air. When he sees it from all sides, this is our rainbow turning into green, watching the emperor and cuckooing..."
…
Xie Yingying's singing skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past six months. These few lines she sang were so melodious and sad that it really made the singer's heart bleed. The ending of the line "Wang Di Cuckoo" was so sad and ethereal that all the audience members hid their faces and did not dare to watch. .
…
"Come on, come on, who wants to hear your nagging, on a hot day?" one of the guards spat.
Dou E looked calm and sang softly: "You said it's the warm summer weather, not the snowy day; don't you hear the flying frost in June due to Zou Yan? If there is a cavity of resentment spurting out like fire, it will definitely feel like ice flowers rolling out. Mian, don't let my corpse appear; what kind of plain chariot and white horse do you want, I will ruin my life in the ancient wilderness!"
"Are you crazy? You woman, what nonsense did you say before you died? The time has come, prepare for execution!" the supervisor shouted loudly.
"Sir, I, Dou E, died unjustly. From now on, Chuzhou will suffer from drought for three years!" Dou E said.
The supervisor yelled: "Stop talking! How can you talk like this! Swear such a poisonous oath? What can you expect from God?"
Dou E sneered and sang: "You said that God is unpredictable and people's hearts are not pitiful. I don't know that God is willing to follow people's wishes. Why have you not seen the rain for three years? It's just because of the injustice of the once filial woman in the East China Sea. Now it's your turn in Shanyang County." This is all because the officials have no intention of rectifying the Dharma, which makes it difficult for the people to speak!"
The wind suddenly blew up on the stage, the leaves were flying, and the flags were whirring. The skylight at the top of the stage was sliding silently and slowly closing.
"Eh? Why is it so dark now? It's so cold and windy!" the executioner and the officials shouted one after another.
Dou E stood on the pure mat, her white clothes fluttering, and sang loudly: "The floating clouds are my shadow, the sad wind is swirling for me, the three vows are made clearly. I have been waiting for the snow to fall in June, and the drought has been severe for three years. Show me, Dou E, the wronged soul that was crucified to death!"
…
Xie Yingying's singing suddenly rose up, cutting through the air like a sharp sword, piercing all the eardrums. The shrill sound was like the wail of a crane or the howl of a ghost. All the spectators had goosebumps on their bodies, and their faces looked frightened and panicked. Endless.
Lin Jue heard Fang Dunru next to him let out a long sigh.
…
On the stage, the supervising officer hid his face from the wind, threw the token in his hand and shouted loudly: "Behead quickly, behead quickly!"
The executioner raised his knife to chop off, and a pool of blood rushed straight to the white cloth. Dou E fell to the ground. The sky and the earth darkened for a moment. Countless lights began to shake, several windmills around the stage began to stir, and people on the stage turned their backs on their horses, and the dust and fallen leaves were flying. The drums are chaotic, the pipa is playing rapidly, and everyone is in danger.
After a while, the wind settled down and the dust settled, the skylight at the top was completely closed, and the lights on the stage slowly returned to normal. All the government officials and supervisors stood up and looked around hastily, but they saw snowflakes falling from the sky under the bright lights. It fell, and after a while it turned into heavy snow falling from the sky.
The entire theater suddenly turned from scorching hot to cold. Dozens of air vents blew cold air into the theater. The ice cubes stored in the winter were moved to the corners of the theater, and the cold air was blown into the theater through the air vents. Although it does not cause the effect of freezing weather, after experiencing the scorching heat scattered by the sunlight just now, the cold air at this moment forms a strong contrast with it, making the heavy snow in the play appear more real.
Not only that, in addition to the snow falling on the stage, it also snowed in the theater. Bright snowflakes fell among the crowd, and the people even reached out to catch the falling snowflakes, but they soon discovered that those snowflakes were just It's just a lighting effect.
On the light boxes hanging under the beams around the theater, slides filled with snowflakes were sliding slowly, causing the snowflakes to dance wildly. The snowflakes on the stage were cut from goose feathers and paper, which cost ten people The snowflakes that the woman had cut out over several nights fell down in the cup of tea, and after a while, Dou E's body on the stage was completely covered.
Snowflakes were still falling, and there was no one on the stage. The curtain slowly fell. In the theater, all the lights went out, and the whole place was dark, except for the sighs of the audience.
What shocked everyone was not only the miraculous lighting effects, but also the shocking plot. Although Dou E died, she had already fulfilled two of the three vows before her death. Blood spattered on the white silk silk, and not a single drop fell.
In the dust, the snow fell in June, and the corpse of the unjust death was buried. Although the plot could not be reversed, and Dou E was still beheaded, the people saw a glimmer of hope, that is, God has eyes, and Dou E
E'e's injustice finally moved the world and revealed a vision. This gave the people a little comfort.
…
When the curtain opens, the land is deserted, the land is dry, the ground is cracked, the trees are dead, and the sky and the earth are vast.
Groups of common people walked across the stage carrying wooden sticks and carrying baskets and broken bowls. They talked about the three-year drought in Chuzhou County and cursed the dog officials for their corruption, perversion of the law, and unjust killings, which resulted in the wrath of God.
They cursed the dog official to die a good death, and looked forward to the rain from the sky and the end of the divine punishment.
In front of a tomb, Grandma Cai, who had gray hair, knelt in front of the tomb and burned paper money. The paper money was flying, and the woman described her sadness.
As soon as the light dimmed, the background changed. An official in official uniform appeared at the corner of the stage. The stage rotated, sending the rest of the people behind the scenes and sending the official who was sitting and waiting to read the petition to the center of the stage.
In the darkness, Dou E, dressed in white, appeared and sang: "Every day I cry and guard the Wangxiang Tower, anxiously waiting for the enemy, walking slowly and faintly, with a whirlwind on my feet. Then I was caught by this.
The fog locks the clouds, and the ghosts stir up."
A sword-wielding door god suddenly appeared, with an angry look on his face and shouted: "What a monster, why don't you retreat? Why don't you reincarnate? Are you going to kill people?"
Dou E saluted and said, "I am the daughter of Dou Tianzhang, the official envoy of the Honesty Commission. Because my father didn't know about my death, I came here to entrust him with a dream."
The door god was surprised and said: "Are you the daughter of Lord Dou? Did you die unjustly?"
Dou E said: "That's right. I heard that my father was going to be promoted to a criminal official position in Jinban High School, so I came to ask for my dream. I have been unjustly killed for three years and my bones can't rest in peace. I have no place to support me. I must be punished for my injustice, and I can't plan for the next life."
The door god said: "That's all, let me let you in. We will keep an eye on you. If you have any harmful intentions, we will make you lose your soul."
The door god disappeared. Dou E entered Dou Tianzhang's room. Dou Tianzhang held his chin and looked at the file. Dou E gently reached out and pulled out a file and placed it in front of Dou Tianzhang. Dou Tianzhang picked up the file and took a look and said to himself:
"Have you not seen this before? Why is it on the case again?"
After saying this, Dou Tianzhang pressed the file under a large pile of files again, but when he turned around, Dou E took out the file again and placed it in front of Dou Tianzhang. Dou Tianzhang stood up in shock several times, and Dou E covered her mouth and chuckled.
The audience in the audience was also amused by Dou E's naughty behavior. After all, she is the daughter of the Dou family, so it is interesting to see her father acting naughty. But what people are concerned about is whether Dou Tianzhang will read the file.
However, Dou Tianzhang was frightened and was about to leave. Dou E waved her hand, and Dou Tianzhang fell down on a chair and fell asleep with his chin in his hands. After a while, he suddenly woke up and looked around blankly: "How strange! I just closed my eyes and dreamed of the Duanyun child.
It's like coming to me. Where is it now? Let me read this document again. Huh? Why is it this one again? I remember reading it several times. That's all, so I read it again. Dou E, the prisoner, was killed by drugs.
The case of father-in-law..."
The audience was instantly relieved. Finally, Dou Tianzhang read the dossier. The plot followed naturally. Dou Tianzhang and Dou E met in soul. The dossier was full of doubts. Dou Tianzhang re-examined the case, found out the facts, obtained Zhang Luer and Sai Lu, and confessed.
The facts of the murder were revealed at the same time. At the same time, it was revealed that the corrupt official had violated the law, and when he was beaten, several people were taken into custody, and the imperial decree was issued. Zhang Luer Sailu was asked to be beheaded by the doctor, and the corrupt official was dismissed from his post and his property was confiscated. Everyone was happy.
The background changed, the rain fell, and the people rushed to celebrate. The earth went from being dry and desolate to grass growing and swallows flying, and everything flourishing. In front of Dou E's tomb, people came to pay their respects. Dou E's soul smiled and looked at it from a distance, and then slowly ascended.
, until disappearing under the curtain.
The curtain falls and the song begins:
The lingering shadow of the solitary lamp lights up and disappears, leaving people in the place where the bead curtain is rolled up in despair.
The wind swept away the clouds halfway through the window, comforting the lost souls before the collapse.
Three days of flying snow buries the innocent souls, and six months of ice flowers roll like cotton.
There was blood flying out of the two feet of white practice, and not a drop of it was stained on the clean mat on the bottom.
After three years of severe drought, the snow is still frozen, and I feel moved by the heaven and the earth and make three vows.
There is no place to stay in Huangquan, but the beautiful soul is lucky enough to be buried in Qingshan.
Who is the shadow of the vast floating clouds? The boundless sorrow is like a whirlwind of mourning.
Doing evil and enjoying wealth will extend your life, while being kind and poor will shorten your life.
No matter what is good or bad, what is the earth? What is the heaven if you judge the wise and foolish foolishly?
It’s hard to sell the soul with two tears. What can the soul do to Meng Po’s heart?
Alone with only a shadow and no relatives, I swallow my anger and complain in vain.
I haven’t seen my mother-in-law in ten years, and I am afraid of seeing my mother-in-law when I am facing Xing Street.
On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, don’t forget to offer a drink. Half a bowl of rice is enough.
I sing a long song of hatred, and the cuckoo sings with broken branches and cries of blood.
The lights in the audience came on and there was a wave of applause.
