=================

As we gradually penetrated into the ancient town, the buildings became more and more diverse. There were more and more wine shops and teahouses, but the horror elements were still the main ones. There were either paper figures and horses or coffins parked in front of the door.

In addition, these restaurants and teahouses are not decorations, and they are actually operating normally:

For example, that teahouse sells pearl milk tea, and it is the Youranju milk tea endorsed by Chen Xi and the others, while the restaurant is a restaurant with all kinds of food.

Although it somewhat destroyed the horror atmosphere and it was too commercialized, the tourists who came here did not feel disgusted. After all, Jiqing Ancient Town is quite desolate and there is not even a restaurant. It has to be resolved here.

Of course, these restaurants and beverage stores are not just a short-term resting place. Tourists can enjoy exploring the process of solving puzzles here, and at the same time, they can get concise clues, which greatly increases the playability.

Along the way, these tourists also realized that all the disciples of Jiqing Hall they came into contact with, that is, the NPCs of Jiqing Ancient Town, were all very dedicated.

Some auspicious girls see their favorite cross talk actors and want to go up to ask for autographs, but those cross talk actors who have become NPCs will immediately show panic expressions, as if they are really local villagers who have been disturbed by outsiders. Their acting skills are good. Let all the tourists feel a little guilty.

As the buildings around them became more and more gorgeous, some tourists finally came to the center of the ancient town, the Blessing Square.

Unknown beasts are carved on the ground in the center of the prayer square, which looks sinister; surrounded by various gorgeous buildings, it is obvious that this square is the most important place in Jiqing Ancient Town.

At this time, there were still security personnel wearing uniforms of officers and soldiers standing here, probably because of the safety issue of too many people gathered.

There is a simple stage in the east of the square, which was built very high for the viewing effect.

The pillars on the stage are carved with beams and paintings, which are extremely gorgeous and colorful; the huge curtain above is also embroidered with gorgeous flowers, which looks extremely elegant.

In addition to the stage, the most eye-catching building in the square is the three-story blood-colored ancient building located in the southwest.

To say that the buildings in this ancient town of Jiqing have at most two floors, but only this strange ancient building has three floors, which feels like it stands out from the crowd.

This ancient building looks strange from a distance, but from a close view, it is extremely strange. The upturned and thin eaves corners seem to be tentacles, which are showing their teeth and claws.

There is another special feature in the square, that is, there is a booth in the southeast corner.

A storyteller wearing a coat and sunglasses was sitting there, and a banner was tied beside his table, and he wrote a letter: 'Awe-inspiring', extremely arrogant.

In fact, most of the tourists who come to the square, apart from being attracted by the stage and the bloody ancient building, will then notice this small stall.

The storyteller at this booth is none other than Chen Xi.

Some fans who knew him were very excited when they saw that Chen Xi was actually here.

There were also some fans who noticed the two paper-made children placed next to the table, and laughed when they thought of what the two scalpers said at the door.

"Brother Xi, does someone think that it's too miserable for you to be a storyteller by yourself, so they let you have two children to protect you." A male fan pointed to the two paper children and said.

Hearing this, the onlookers couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xi raised his eyelids, looked at the fans watching him, and shook his head: "I don't understand what the foreign friends are talking about. I am an unknown storyteller from Jiqing Ancient Town!"

Chen Xi played the role of storyteller to the fullest,

"If you want to listen to the book, please sit there and don't watch." He stretched out his finger and pointed to the rows of wooden benches opposite the table.

At this moment, some people dressed as officers and soldiers came to maintain order.

Some tourists left to continue exploring after watching the excitement, while others sat down and planned to hear what story Chen Xi was going to tell.

Seeing that the seats were full of tourists, Chen Xi Xingmu took a picture, and it was about to begin.

"My friends from afar, it must be because of this ancient town of Jiqing that you have come from afar."

"If you want to talk about this ancient town of Jiqing, the correct pronunciation should be called 'Jiqing Ancient Town'. Sacrifice is a sacrifice for sacrifices, and Qing is Qingqing, my dear."

When the tourists heard this, their eyes widened. Unexpectedly, the book Chen Xi talked about was actually the history of Jiqing Ancient Town. I learned from here, no wonder they couldn't find out just now.

"Why is it called this name? It is still because of a legend. According to legend, hundreds of years ago, there was a general who protected the country. His wife was beautiful and a bodhisattva. The medicine and stone didn't work, and he died, which made the general very sad.

At this time, a Taoist priest came to the door. Seeing this situation, he offered advice to the general. If he wanted his wife's soul to be peaceful, it was best to build a village for sacrifice.

Afterwards, the general built this town in honor of his wife by working hard and mobilizing people and making large-scale construction projects according to the Taoist priests. "

The tourists frowned when they heard this.

Although their education levels and levels are different, those who have watched TV dramas still know that the wives of generals are usually buried in the mausoleum. Why does a small town need to pay homage in this story?

Is this a sacrifice, or a suppression?

Just when the tourists were wondering, Chen Xi told another story.

"...There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that there is a saint in the Blood Moon Sect who possesses the power of immortality and leads the congregation to ignore world affairs and concentrate on cultivating the Tao. However, this kind of magic power was coveted by the imperial court. General, sent an army to wipe out the Blood Moon Sect, and all the [-] congregants became dead under the knife. The general won the victory and returned to the court, but when he reported to the emperor, he said that he did not find the saint, but a group of swindling liars. All the soldiers in the army could testify that the emperor was furious and punished the general severely, but after he sent people to investigate, it was found that what the general said was true, so the emperor had no choice but to give up.”

"After the situation calmed down, the general retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, built a small town in his hometown, and took his soldiers to hide in the mountains.

This general lived to be more than 200 years old, and there are centenarians everywhere in the town, which can be described as a spectacle. "

When the tourists heard this, the hairs on their bodies exploded.

If the first one is the kind of lingering love story, then the second story has some conspiracy flavor.

Could it be that the general lied to the emperor and kept the saint himself?

But the emperor was not that stupid, so it was really strange that he didn't find anything suspicious.

And the most strange thing is to count the age of the general, who actually lived more than 200 years old.

It was the ancient times with harsh conditions, and people could live for more than 200 years. It is unbelievable to talk about water and soil cultivation or personal physique alone.

Although there is a famous little Peng Zu in history who lived to be 443 years old, there is only one such person throughout Chinese history.

And there are other centenarians in this ancient town, which is a bit weird.

Connecting the immortality of the saintess with the clue that the wandering Taoist priest proposed to build the town in the first story, it seems that the answer has gradually become clear...

At this moment, a gong sounded, and everyone turned to look, and found that the source was the stage.

The loud sound of the gong resounded throughout the square, attracting the attention of all tourists.

"Today is the first day of 'Praying for Blessings' in Jiqing Ancient Town. Guests from afar are here, so you can go and have a look."

After Chen Xi said that, the tourists got up one after another and surrounded the stage in the distance.

There were also some staunch fans of Chen Xi sitting there, who just turned their bodies slightly to the side.

Chen Xi didn't care, he also sat there watching the stage.

At this time, with the sound of the gong, two twins wearing paper coats, paper hats, red cheeks and red lips walked out on the stage.

Seeing the appearance of these two twins, the tourists present all laughed and whistled and applauded.

Of course they knew these two people, they were the hottest twins in Ji Qingtang, Fang Zuo and Fang You.

Each of them held a gong and shouted while beating on the stage:

"Look, take a look, please pray, this is about to begin!"

"Guests from afar, please stay, it's hard for you to say no to the show here; guests from afar, please stay, the performance here is awesome!" Fang Zuo finished speaking, and knocked on the gong again.

"Hey, what jingle are you talking about!" Fang You made a living.

"Hahaha!"

The reason for this is because they want to gather all the tourists who enter the ancient town as much as possible, because the performance of "Worship and Blessing" will officially start soon.

Sure enough, the tourists who heard the movement gradually gathered in the square. After a while, there were more than a hundred people standing in the square.

Fortunately, the square is relatively large, and it is not crowded to accommodate so many people.

Fang Zuo and Fang You were almost playing tricks on the stage. Seeing that the square was already full of people, the two quickly beat the gong and ran down.

At this time, the drums and gongs of Peking Opera sounded, and a man wearing a red official robe, black gauze on his head, and a white mask, holding a banner in his hand, lifted the curtain of "Outgoing General" on the side of the stage, and staggered onto the stage.

He was accompanied by four heavenly soldiers and generals in armor, holding knives, guns and sticks, looking extraordinary in martial arts.

Seeing this scene, the tourists immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some of them exclaimed.

"Wow, it's actually a jumping official!"

"Sure enough, it is a folk village. There is such an ancient opening ceremony. The Jiqing Hall is amazing!"

It is said that it is Tiaojiaguan who is performing on the stage at this time.

In the old days, whenever there was an important opera performance, this kind of opening ceremony would be carried out.

The actor who dances the official dance is the Nuo dance. What he plays is the "Tianguan" among the three Taoist officials of "Tiandishui".

I saw the heavenly official on the stage, jumping and jumping, unfolding the banner in his hand, and there were four big characters "Heavenly official blessing" written on it, and with the playing of "Jiaguan" gongs and drums, the heavenly official will "Tianguan bless" The banner of "blessing" was handed over to the heavenly soldiers and generals beside him, and then he took out another banner from his sleeve and unfolded, "everything goes well".

This operation attracted applause from the tourists present.

This is really a surprise. I didn't expect that there is such an old tradition in Jiqing Ancient Town. As expected, Jiqingtang is Jiqingtang.

Four banners unfolded in a row are all auspicious words with good meanings.

"it is good!"

Once again there was warm applause at the scene.

After the show was over, the actors left the stage, the stage was empty, and the standard bgm of ghost movies sounded again.

The tourists dispersed and continued to solve puzzles, go shopping and eat, it was very lively.

And some tourists wanted to go to Chen Xi to take two photos, but when they came to the booth, they found that this person had disappeared.

"Where's brother Xi?"

"He left just now, saying he was going to have a meal."

"Hahaha! What a simple answer!"

The fans all laughed.

Chen Xi really rushed to eat. His booth is very important to the whole process of solving puzzles in the ancient town. He has to stay there all the time. However, it is not good for him to broadcast live in front of all tourists, so he can only catch Focus on free time to solve the problem of eating.

He went all the way to the back of the stage from the staff passage in a private house in the square.

When the entire ancient town was designed, it was a large escape room.

In order to allow tourists to have a better sensory experience (surprisingly scary), in the houses of the ancient town, while arranging some organs, there are also many hidden staff passages that only they NPCs know.

These passages prevented NPCs from passing through, and also greatly facilitated Chen Xi and the others.

His current influence is definitely not something to brag about. If he walks on the street swaggeringly, he will probably be surrounded by fans soon.

When I came to the backstage, I just caught up with the actor who jumped the instructor to take off his makeup.

Taking off the mask, a familiar face appeared.

It turned out to be Li Chengyu.

"Senior brother, you've worked hard, I never thought you'd have to come in person for this matter." Chen Xi stepped forward and said with a smile.

Li Chengyu wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, and sighed: "I've said it all, this year's invitations and blessings must be paid attention to, and I, the head of the family, have to end it myself."

Chen Xi sighed a little, this is their Jiqingtang.

When the family is so considerate of the group, it also sets a good example for the disciples below, so that everyone can gather together and continue the Jiqingtang. This is the spirit of unity that a traditional group should have.

While the two were talking, the staff brought a box of lunch.

It is said that in this ancient town, there are several rest areas for actors to rest and eat, and the backstage behind this stage is one.

All of them in Jiqingtang played NPC this time and took turns to eat.

Whoever has no performance tasks can take the time to come over for a meal, and after the meal, continue to return to his post to play the role of NPC, ensuring to provide clues to tourists throughout the day, which can be described as extremely hard work.

Although it was hard work, Li Chengyu also spoke, and prayed for blessings for these ten days. If it is done well, their Jiqingtang will be able to go smoothly in the future.

Everyone knows the importance of the matter, and no one complains.

After Chen Xi finished his meal, he returned to his booth and continued to give clues to the new wave of tourists.

It is said that the sky is getting darker, and this show is getting more and more exciting.

At this time, a burst of suona sounded through the sky, accompanied by bursts of crying.

Chen Xi, who was talking eloquently at the booth, raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice.

Then, he smiled mysteriously at the tourists in front of him: "If you want to explore the secrets of the ancient town, you might as well take a look at the original funeral ceremony."

The tourists looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what Chen Xi was talking about, why did he say that suddenly.

"It's just that there is still a performance, so go and see it." Chen Xi had no choice but to blurt out directly.

"Brother Xi, don't you understand if you said that earlier!"

"That is to say, then we went to the show, and I will come to see you later."

"Hey, you guys are not happy anymore!" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows.This group of fans still have Wang Fa, and they even started to dislike him.

Seeing that Chen Xi was so angry, the tourists all burst out laughing.

Sure enough, the bursts of suona sounds and cries were still very attractive. In an instant, the tourists were all attracted.

There were no tourists in front of Chen Xi's booth in an instant.

He didn't care, thought of something, and took out a mask from under the scene table.

The mask is flesh-colored as a whole and looks very ordinary.

To put it bluntly, this Jiqing Ancient Town is an escape room, with a lot of props.

Wearing it on the head can be regarded as a camouflage.

He planned to watch the excitement, because that show featured Han Amano.

Leaving the square, heading towards the residential area, and onto the spacious avenue.

At this time, both sides of the street were full of tourists, and there were many security personnel maintaining law and order.

Not far from the street, a group of people was walking slowly.

That group of people wore plain clothes and hats, dressed up according to the standards of filial sons and virtuous grandchildren. They wore spirit banners, sprinkled paper money, held paper man and paper horse, and carried an extremely gorgeous coffin, just like a funeral. Look, walking towards the square.

There were bursts of crying, the suona was sad, and the sense of the underworld was full.

Chen Xi stood behind the crowd, looking at the group of people.

By the way, these funeral performers are all disciples of their Ji Qingtang, and they are all acquaintances. After searching around, Chen Xi finally saw the person he was looking for.

The man was very tall. Among the crowd, his height of nearly 1.9 meters was still very conspicuous.

Moreover, that person was extremely good-looking, and he wore a filial piety dress that was so elegant and elegant.

This person is Han Tianye, holding a paper doll in his hand.

Chen Xi was quite cheerful when he saw Han Tianye at first, but when he saw the paper figurine in this man's hand, he was taken aback for a moment.

That doesn't seem to refer to dolls, but...

pig?

Chen Xi: "..."

In the funeral rules, there are only people who burn paper people and horses. How can there be people who burn paper pigs?

And this pig is too cute!

It's completely a cartoon version, this Han Amano definitely did it on purpose!

Originally, this group of funeral teams came out to be scary, but who would have thought that because of the presence of Han Amano, the fans among the tourists on both sides of the road screamed and took pictures with their mobile phones.

What kind of funeral scene is this? It's a fan meeting.

But this group of people is extremely dedicated, Han Tianye and the other disciples, although they heard the screams almost covering up the sound of the suona, they still had no expression on their faces, and acted out the plot of the funeral.

When this group passed Chen Xi, Han Tianye seemed to recognize him, turned his head and looked over.

For a while, all the tourists followed suit.

And the girls in front of Chen Xi didn't know that Chen Xi was standing behind them, so they looked back and screamed immediately.

"what!"

This kind of screaming is different from the fans screaming when they saw the idol before, they were obviously frightened.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that the girl was scared, some tourists thought it was quite interesting and actually laughed.

It was originally a particularly weird and terrifying funeral parade, but I didn't expect it to be so joyful in the end.

Seeing the tourists smiling, Chen Xi suddenly seemed to understand something in his heart.

"Brief affairs" is not necessarily endless sadness. Feedback from sadness, find the root of positivity, make yourself happy, and understand what life is. Maybe this is the meaning of their "Worship and Prayer" held by Jiqingtang.

The frightened fans came to their senses, looked at the masked man again, and immediately shouted angrily: "Brother Xi, you are sick, why are you standing behind me!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi turned around and ran away.

Yep, it was recognized!

Seeing Chen Xi running away, Han Tianye in the funeral procession immediately laughed.

And as he laughed, the tourists laughed too.

For a while, the scene was full of joy.
