I'm not a theatre god

The drizzle of rain made ripples in the river, tinkling like crisp silver bells.

On the wet bluestone road, a figure pushed a wooden cart. The wheels passed through the moss between the stone slabs, bumping and shaking from time to time. A figure dressed in green clothes pushed the cart leisurely forward in the hazy drizzle.

"One horse left Xiliang Realm~

I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Green is the mountains, green is the world of water and flowers~

Xue Pinggui is like a lonely goose returning..." (Note 1)

Qing Yi's singing echoed in the misty alleys, clear, loud, and melodious... He raised his head and let the rain roll down his neck, but did not avoid it at all. It seemed that his whole body was immersed in the lyrics, his eyes as bright as star.

At the same time, on the wooden cart filled with firewood, a figure in red had his eyelashes trembling slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Ling woke up.

The first thing that caught his eye was the azure sky covered with light rain clouds. The raindrops as fine as needles hit his face, bringing a slight chill. On both sides were the white walls and gray tiles that were receding, and the shore. Green willows dancing in the wind.

Where is...where?

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling thought for a moment that he had traveled back to a modern water town in the south of the Yangtze River. But as his consciousness gradually regained consciousness, he remembered that he was among the pale flowers in the gray world just now.

Is this the world of mortals?

How did he get in?

Chen Ling was filled with confusion. He rubbed his head and slowly sat up from the pile of firewood. He could still feel the weakness in his body when he exerted force.

"Eh? Are you awake?" A voice came from the side, "I'm sorry, I wanted to carry you on my back, but because I had to pull firewood, I had to force you to lie on it..."

Chen Ling turned her head, and the person speaking was a young man wearing a long green gown. He was pushing a wooden cart and looked at him with an apologetic look on his face.

"Who are you……"

The young man raised his head and said with a smile, "Little student Li Qingshan, I wonder which theater troupe your brother is a actor in?"

"Jiao'er? I'm not a Jiao'er."

"Brother, I'm joking. Your makeup is clearly that of a clown! Look at your outfit, a clown in red... Hmm... Strange, which script is this character?" Li Qingshan looked at Chen Ling carefully, with an expression on his eyebrows. out of doubt.

Chen Ling was stunned. He seemed to have remembered something, and immediately got off the wooden cart and ran to the river beside him.

"Brother? Brother!"

Li Qingshan's shout came from behind. Chen Ling had quickly stepped onto the small stone pier used for laundry, lowered her head and looked into the river.

The hem of the red opera robe floated on the water, and a familiar face stained with white dust was clearly reflected on the water.

Damn...this thing is still there? ?

Chen Ling's face turned ugly for a moment. He once again felt that both his mental power and his skills were sealed by the white ash, and his body was empty.

"Brother, you can't run around now. I think you have low blood sugar, otherwise you wouldn't have fainted in the back..." Li Qingshan hurriedly chased from behind and kindly supported Chen Ling, "Look, you How ugly his face is!"

Chen Ling frowned, turned around and asked, "Where is this place?"

"Ah? This is Liu Town."

"The world of mortals?"

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, "What else?"

Chen Ling's guess was correct. He looked around. This town was different from the town when he and Meihua K set out. According to Meihua K, there are hundreds of such towns in the world of mortals... so In such a big place, where should he go to find the master and others?

"Brother, I think you are confused by hunger." Li Qingshan saw that Chen Ling's face was pale and couldn't help but said, "Well, you go back with me to eat something first and raise your blood sugar first... Come, I will help you up. ”

Chen Ling stood up without letting Li Qingshan support him. He looked at Li Qingshan for a moment and nodded:

"Okay, thank you very much."

He was alone and came to the world of mortals for the first time. He was unfamiliar with everything here. If he could get some information from this aboriginal, it would save him the trouble of running to other places. Of course more importantly...he was really hungry.

The white ash swallowed up his mental energy and drained his physical strength. At this moment, Chen Ling was in a state of ravenous hunger, and this was probably the reason why his limbs were now weak.

Li Qingshan pushed the wooden cart again and asked as he moved forward:

"Brother, you haven't said your name yet."

Chen Ling touched the face, and after thinking for a moment, she finally spoke: "Lin Yan."

Since [Wuxian] is sealed, he cannot change into Lin Yan's face at this moment. Fortunately, this is the world of mortals, and no one recognizes him, so it is not a big problem which face should be used for reading.

"Lin Yan." Li Qingshan muttered twice, "Which theater troupe are you from?"

"What is a troupe?"

"You don't even know about the theater troupe?" Li Qingshan looked at him in surprise.

"My hometown is relatively remote and I have never heard of this..."

"No wonder, so your clown is also self-taught? Then he is just like me." Li Qingshan explained patiently, "You always know the main city of Hongchen, right?"

The main city...that is, a place similar to Aurora City?

Chen Ling nodded slightly, "I've heard of it, but I don't understand it."

"The main city of the world of mortals is the most prosperous and splendid city in the nine realms! There is gold everywhere, and there are kings and superstars everywhere. Any singer or star who walks out of it will be able to cause a sensation in other realms. ...Do you know Tian Yingjun? She is the superstar who sang "Stars". She held a concert in Nanhai Realm a few days ago, and hundreds of people fainted from excitement before it even started!"

"There are also famous actors among them, such as Teacher Chen Xiangui. I grew up listening to his operas." Li Qingshan's eyes were extremely bright,

“All in all, the people with the most influence in the world are basically there…

Gold tickets and colored satin are always flying in the world of mortals, and people are singing and cheering around the clock. There is never a shortage of wealth and popularity there. It is the center of human art and wealth! "

Chen Ling's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He couldn't imagine what the main city of the mortal world described by Li Qingshan looked like... After all, it sounded like a life of luxury and wealth, which was completely different from Aurora City.

"It seems a bit off topic." Li Qingshan also felt that he was getting more and more excited as he spoke. After coughing twice, he continued,

"In short, in order to continuously create 'stars' that attract traffic and popularity, the entertainment consortium in the main city of Hongchen will also send people to small towns outside the city to find suitable talents. Over time, they simply set up local theaters in small towns. On the one hand, the group is to operate the entertainment industry of the town, and on the other hand, it is also to provide fresh blood to the main city of Hongchen...

Any young person who has some skills and wants to work in this industry will basically join the theater troupe. If you become famous, money and power will follow. Then not only you, but also your whole family will be able to make a difference!

If you are lucky enough to enter the main city of the mortal world and become a superstar in the main city and even the human world, you will be blessed for generations to come! "

Chen Ling was silent.

Tick ​​tock—tick tock—

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River was not cold, falling on Chen Ling's red opera robe, and also on the surface of the muddy bluestone road... The steaming water vapor smudged into mist on the ground, and Chen Ling quietly looked at the mist rising from the mud, It was as if I could see the rolling world of mortals.
