The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 150 Seeing the Gods, Mayflies in the Blue Sky

Mochoufang, opera pavilion.

The literati from the opera troupe stood beside the Taoist priest, carefully instructing him on the terminology and rhythm.

"It can't be like this. The rhythm is too rigid. The rhythm here can be looser. Secondly, the song is too monotonous and has no beginning or end. Ordinary people can listen to the music but not understand the lyrics. The lyrics can be simpler." Liang Yue roughly understood the rules and immediately retorted.

The music is elegant and lofty, which is not conducive to its dissemination.

"A play can be divided into three parts: singing (lyrics), action (movements), and dialogue (dialogues). These three forms complement each other to form a play."

Liang Yue has been listening to operas in the theater these days, because it is one of the few activities he finds that can entertain him.

There was no atmosphere of hermits in the Tang Dynasty. Without close friends, living in seclusion in the mountains was simply a torture.

So he found a hobby to pass the time.

The opera of that era was too monotonous, so Liang Yue simply booked the entire troupe and improved the suona and erhu to include in the performance.

Hearing Liang Yue's words, the playwright Shi Erlang thought it was ridiculous at first, but he secretly imitated it in his heart and found that it was quite good.

So he told the person in charge of performing to start the accompaniment and he went to the front of the stage alone.

"Farewell My Concubine, begin!"

Gongs, drums, pipa, erhu and suona.

“(Eight maids follow Yu Ji on stage) Yu Ji (singing)—Ever since I followed the king in his campaigns, I have endured hardships and toil, year after year…”

At first everyone was a little awkward, but in the end they cooperated closely and Shierlang gradually got into the state.

Wu Mingkong, who was dressed as a man beside Liang Yue, was fascinated by what he heard.

This is a script created by Liang Yue.

clang! !

The last gong and drum sounded, and the first measure ended.

"Good, good, good." Shi Er Lang said three good words in a row, "It sounds good, it looks good, and it's easy to learn. The art of opera will flourish. Taoist Master Tong Tian, please accept my greeting."

Only those in the industry can appreciate how catchy the improved opera is.

Next, Liang Yue instructed everyone to rehearse.

Soon, the full opera began to play.

Wu Mingkong said at the side: "Master, I will come here every day to listen to the opera."

She had never seen anything so interesting.

"No need, just come every now and then, don't neglect your career."

Liang Yue improved opera and created two major categories. One was elegant music with graceful intonation and elegant lyrics, which was suitable for small gardens and private listening.

The second type is the flowery songs with passionate tones and easy-to-understand lyrics, which are suitable for stage dramas and are enjoyed by all ages.

Until dusk, Shierlang prostrated himself before him.

"Thank you, Taoist Wang Fuzhi, for your guidance!" Shi Erlang finally said his name.

The business of pitying people has never been acceptable to the public, and writers who make a living by writing storybooks are often unwilling to reveal their names and usually face the world under pseudonyms.

After Liang Yue improved this method, Wang Fuzhi realized that this method was profound and extensive. Perhaps fame and fortune were not so important, and it would be a good idea to study this method in the future.

"No need to be so polite! Bring me the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I have a new work."

Liang Yue waved his hand.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone make every stroke of the pen seem divine.

This is a series called Heroes of the Han Dynasty. The first part is Emperor Gaozu Kills the Snake, followed by The Two Pillars of the Han Dynasty.

The song is full of refreshing elements and easy to sing.

Under the influence of some down-and-out literati, people are always committed to praising the losers in history books, and are harsh to and deliberately vilify the great heroes who have truly made great achievements.

These stories add a lot of vicious plots about the barbarians, which can greatly enhance the people's identification with the Han people.

History books can be revised and classics can be burned, but if you want to change the memories deeply rooted in the masses of the people, it will take several generations.

"Goodbye, Master. Have a good rest."

Wu Mingkong said goodbye to Liang Yue and left humming an opera.

In the following days, Liang Yue immersed himself in the opera repertoire.

The reputation of the theater gradually spread, attracting more and more people to watch, including many dignitaries.

The most popular ones are "Farewell My Concubine" and "The Twins of Han Dynasty".

Many people got to know Wei Qing and Huo Qubing for the first time. During the Zhenguan period, most people called themselves Han people.

Gradually, a distinction between Chinese and barbarians began to emerge in people's minds. The Han Dynasty was four hundred years away, but it was still their own dynasty. Although the Turks and Goryeo were close, they were just foreign races.

On this day, as night fell, the lights in the vermilion lacquered theater suddenly lit up.

Gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and the pipa played frequently.

The pitiful man walked out with his head held high to the beat of the drum.

The lyrics, music and singing linger in the air for three days.

An art with great vitality is rising, influencing future generations and changing the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

Tongtian Taoist is called the ancestor of this profession.

......

At night, five figures blend into the night, leaping high and gliding like bats.

The five people landed at a mansion.

"This is Tongtian's residence. When Tongtian is not practicing medicine, he practices here."

The subordinate whispered Tongtian's origin.

The origin of Tongtian is mysterious. Most people agree that Tongtian is a descendant of the Tao family and Tao Yuanming; some say he is a descendant of the Ge family or even the Sun family.

"Stop talking nonsense. What's his origin? You are just a doctor. Are you going to dig up his entire ancestry? Did you find out that he is actually a Lingbao immortal?"

Gao Yang rudely interrupted his subordinate's speech.

Constantly noisy and talking a lot of nonsense.

Gao Yang sneaked in instead of knocking on the door directly, which was already giving face to this guy named Tongtian.

Judging from his age and experience, this person is at most innate.

A great innate master cannot hide his aura and edge.

Even if this person is a Great Innate, as a veteran Great Innate with sixty years of Great Innate body forging skills and more than a hundred years of combat experience, he can easily defeat this person.

"Age makes a person wise. The older you are, the more experience you have. Anyway, a hundred and sixteen year old versus thirty-something, the advantage is on me."

Gao Yang has been practicing magic for many years. Apart from being a little unsure about this mysterious immortal, he doesn't take anyone else seriously.

If he had not been afraid of the immortal from nowhere, Li Shimin would have been killed by himself by now.

"Follow me!!"

Gao Yang said in a low voice.

Everyone sneaked into the backyard, and the road was extremely quiet and empty.

There are no servants or soldiers in the mansion, which greatly reduces the risk of exposure.

Gao Yang was already thinking about his plan after taking down Tongtian.

First he killed Tongtian, then disguised himself as Tongtian and entered the palace. Then he used the blood of all the people of Li Tang to lure out the gods and killed them, thus defying the will of heaven and changing his fate.

Gao Yang knew that the plan was somewhat reckless, even brainless. But his life was running out, and the arrow was on the string, so he had to shoot.

He believes in his luck.

From childhood to adulthood, God always chooses me at the most critical moment.

This time is no exception.

Seek the gods and you will find them.

In his later years, the heroic Emperor Gao Yang regained his vigor and vitality, as if he had returned to the beginning of his business.

However, their trip was doomed to fail, because Liang Yue was not here at all, but was listening to opera in Mochoufang all night.

Backyard, by the pond.

As the night deepened, dark clouds obscured the moon.

The lotus flowers on the water surface are quiet, and the dark pond water is still, as if there is an ancient ferocious beast hiding.

Gao Yang stood on the basalt and looked around.

"What about people?"

"It is rumored that Taoist Tongtian likes to listen to operas, perhaps in Mochoufang." The subordinate replied.

"Hmm? Okay, let's go to Mochoufang then."

Wow!
At this time, a cold wind blew.

There were ripples on the surface of the pool.

boom!
The water surface exploded, water droplets flew into the air and condensed into ice.

Whoosh!
The ice spikes were densely packed and shot towards everyone like rain.

"not good!!"

Wow!
The void turned red, and Gao Yang's blood and energy responded to the stress, forming a shield that was as hot as fire.

Bang, bang, bang! The ice spikes touched the Qi and Blood Shield and instantly evaporated into steam and disappeared.

Others were not so lucky. They were pierced through the bodies by the ice spikes and died with their eyes open.

Before Gao Yang could react, he felt a pain in his right foot.

When he looked down, he saw that the basalt had grown a head, and the turtle head turned around and bit his right foot.

Because of the strong physical defense of its own body, the turtle head could not be bitten off for a while.

"What demon?" Gao Yang's pupils shrank. He made a prompt decision, drew out the sword behind him, and cut off his calf with one blow.

Wow!
Gao Yang was suspended in the air, his blood surging, holding two swords.

One sword flashed with arcs of electricity, and the other sword was surrounded by true fire.

Gao Yang was confused and looked at the monster below.

"It turned out to be a turtle demon."

Ice spikes were flying in the sky again. Gao Yang didn't bother to investigate the origin of the turtle monster. The most urgent task was to capture the monster.

Whoosh!
With a swing of the two swords, thunder and fire sword energy fell.

boom!
Xuanwu shrank his head, and the sword energy of thunder and fire left only a faint white mark.

Two men and a turtle fought each other. Xuanwu had difficulty in moving, but its defense was comparable to that of a magic weapon.

Boom boom boom...

Gao Yang was a martial arts expert, and the surrounding courtyards were in a mess.

The rockery collapsed and the houses collapsed.

None of this could do anything to the turtle.

This beast is too shameless. He doesn't care about how to move his body and just hides when there is danger.

boom!
There was another burst of smoke, but Xuanwu stood still.

When the smoke cleared, Xuanwu emerged with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

“Ahhhh!! Die!”

Gao Yang bit his tongue and spurted out two mouthfuls of blood onto the Thunder and Fire swords.

The powerful qi, blood and magic skills directly activate the magic weapon.

clap clap clap!
Lightning flashes and real fire rises.

Under the pitch-black night, Gao Yang's blood was boiling, and from a distance, he looked like a torch.

The blood-sucking magic power can change your destiny.

Such was his power against the gods.

"You have let me down too much."

A man flew out of the ground beside Xuanwu.

The moment that person appeared, a golden light spread out like a fan.

Bang bang bang!
The thunder and fire were bounced away by the golden wheel.

Looking at the golden wheel spinning in the void.

Gao Yang's pupils shrank, and a sense of extreme danger arose in his heart.

He seemed to realize the problem.

The person in front of me...

“That’s right, I’m Lingbao, Liang Yue, and Tongtian.” Liang Yue laughed, “Gao Yang, you’re so disappointing. I thought you could break through to the highest realm and give me a little surprise, but unfortunately…”

Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yang turned into a streak of blood light and escaped by controlling his blood and energy.

When there was no spirit present, Gao Yang was confident.

Only when you see the gods can you understand what it is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

The other party's cat-playing-with-mouse attitude was far more oppressive than any horrible thing he had ever seen.

At this moment, Gao Yang secretly hated his own strong luck.

He wanted to find a god, and he actually found one.

I haven't even beaten a turtle, let alone facing this person.

Lightning and Samadhi True Fire leaped in Liang Yue's palm.

I originally wanted to get rid of this person in one move.

His divine sense sensed the masters coming from all directions and he immediately rescinded the spell.

"Forget it, let's use the Ten Perfect Martial Arts."

Wow!
His body flew into the air, and after a few leaps, he caught up with Gao Yang.

His divine consciousness spread out, his Dharma eyes flashed and were able to discover Gao Yang's flaws.

Ten Perfect Martial Arts - Shenglong.

boom!
……
