I'm not a theatre god

"What can we do?" Chen Ling's eyes lit up.

"Do you know that the ranks of Emperor Shen Dao are floating?"

"I know." Chen Ling nodded, "Second Senior Sister told me that Emperor Shen Dao has no fixed rank. His rank depends on the strength of the people who surrender to him."

"Yes, that's the key."

Ning Ruyu continued, "The link between 'Jun' and 'Chairman' ignores distance. That is to say, as long as there are people loyal to him in the world, no matter how far away they are, this strength bonus will take effect... …

But this kind of link cannot ignore time. "

"Can't ignore time?"

"A dynasty has its own monarchs and ministers, but if one day, the monarch and his subjects are separated into two different times, then this link will be broken... The ministers who have lost the monarch are the 'remnants of the previous dynasty'. The king of ministers is a 'lonely man'."

Chen Ling pondered for a while and understood what Ning Ruyu meant, "You mean, after that Emperor Shen Dao entered the era archive, the link between him and the real 'Chen' was broken?

The reason why he showed fifth-level strength in the archive of the era is because he found a new ‘minister’ in the archive of the era? "

"That's what it means, and from the time the archive started running until now, not many hours have actually passed in that era. No matter how capable he is, he can't accumulate several 'ministers' in a short time..."

"There is a high probability that there is only one 'minister' behind him." A flash of light flashed in Chen Ling's eyes, "As long as the 'minister' is eliminated, he will lose his power and can be easily killed."

Ning Ruyu shrugged,

"That's the theory...but I still don't recommend you go in now."

"Why?"

"If the emperor can obtain the fifth level of combat power, the 'chen' behind him should also be at the fifth level. Junior brother, you are only at the third level now, how can you fight against two of them at the fifth level?"

Chen Ling opened her mouth, but in the end she had no words to refute.

"So, I can only wait?"

Ning Ruyu looked at him deeply, hesitated to speak, and finally shook her head.

At the same time, the two of them had arrived at the door of Third Senior Brother Wen Renyou. As soon as they opened the door, they smelled the rich aroma of food.

"Ruyu, didn't my teacher tell you to ask Lao Liu to finish class early?" The master said helplessly, holding the rice bowl, "Now that Lao Liu is not here, Lao San won't even serve the food..." "

Wen Renyou, who was busy in the kitchen, glanced at the living room and said dullly:

"Obviously you came early..."

The master did come early. Except for Harlequin, who was more active in cooking than him, who was sitting on the chair drooling helplessly, Mo Jiao and Luan Mei hadn't arrived yet.

"Eaaah!"

When the clown saw Chen Ling coming, he jumped forward and gave him a high-five to complete his greeting.

After getting along with each other in the main city of Hongchen, Harlequin and Chen Ling have become very familiar with each other. Even when Chen Ling is in class on weekdays, he will stand in the corner and watch, jumping and clapping, which can be said to fill the atmosphere.

As Chen Ling and Ning Ruyu sat down, Mo Jiao and Luan Mei pushed the door open one after another, and everyone started their daily dinner.

"By the way, how are you doing with Lao Liu's basic skills?" The master took a few bites of rice, as if he remembered something.

"I have finished learning [Singing], [Reading] and [Doing], and I have basically mastered the secret method. Now I only have to learn the secret method of [Playing]." Chen Ling answered.

"Learning [fighting] secret techniques can easily be life-threatening. I plan to let my junior brother learn it later." Ning Ruyu explained, "But my junior brother's basic skills are definitely solid."

After listening, the master nodded slightly,

"Yes, faster than I expected... Now that the foundation has been laid, it's time to start teaching you 'that'."

Hearing this, the other senior brothers and sisters seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes lit up.

"that?"

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, then said, "Is it the secret method of acting?"

Chen Ling entered the Ancient Opera Collection in order to learn the rumored secret method of opera. According to the master, this secret method could dispel the confusion in his heart, and even help him fight against the backlash of Shinto in the future...

Chen Ling will never forget what he saw through the True Self Mirror... The confusion hidden deep in his consciousness, enough to swallow up all his spirit and reason, is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.

Chen Ling had to learn this secret technique.

"That's right."

The master put down his bowl and chopsticks, a rare expression of seriousness and solemnity appeared in his eyes.

"Now that your basic skills are solid enough, and you have found an 'anchor', you can try to activate this secret method... Different from the four basic secret methods of Xi Dao, this is a unique method created by the teacher. The secret method is also the essence of the teacher’s life experience.”

Regarding the other four basic secret techniques, the master's attitude has always been calm and indifferent, but now he is suddenly so solemn, which is enough to prove the weight of this secret technique.

"Did the master create this secret technique by himself?" Chen Ling was a little surprised.

He has always thought that the existence of the secret method is an extension of the divine way. For example, the [Requiem Ballad], [Cloud Step] and [Mantra] he has learned now are all basic skills corresponding to opera. However, Chen Ling really believes that the secret method can create his own. have not thought.

"It was indeed created by the master." Mojiao nodded slightly, "And even we have never learned this secret technique."

Hearing this, Chen Ling was even more shocked.

"None of the senior brothers and sisters have ever studied?"

Ning Ruyu, Luan Mei and others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Indeed not."

In Chen Ling's impression, these five brothers and sisters are already at the top of the divine way of drama, and their talents are natural. What's more, they are the disciples who have followed the master for the longest time. In terms of friendship, it is impossible for the master not to teach them...

Just when Chen Ling was puzzled, the master chuckled:

"Of course they don't need to learn it, because the inspiration for this secret method comes from them."

Chen Ling froze on the spot.

The secret method and inspiration created by the master... but it came from his senior brothers and sisters?

Chen Ling felt a little strange. No matter how she looked at it, the logic of this sentence didn't seem to make sense. After all, it was always the master who taught the disciples. How could there be a master's apprenticeship?

More and more doubts occupied Chen Ling's mind, and his interest in this secret method became more and more intense. He couldn't help but ask:

"What kind of secret method is this?"

The master paused for a moment and slowly uttered three words:

"——[Painting Zhu Yan]."
