Chapter 4 Shadow Play Left Road(1/2)
Three-foot cloth and silk are used as a platform, and shadow puppets are all varied and playful.
The shadow play is the doll, the soul, and the role of the play!
If you want to perform a wonderful shadow puppet, you must first have a wonderful shadow puppet.
The production of shadow puppets is extremely complicated and exquisite, and is roughly divided into seven steps, namely: selection of skin, making of leather, drafting, carving, coloring, sweating, and bonding.
Choose the skin, choose the shadow material for the leather, then make the draft and make the styling, carve into the sample, then color, sweat and form, and finally connect the various components of the shadow man...
Each step must be meticulous and it takes a lot of effort to create a real shadow puppet, running, standing, sitting, lying, lying, rolling, climbing, rolling, hitting, etc., which are vivid and flexible, undoubtedly as a living person.
The secrets are exquisite and the methods are not passed on outsiders, and they are not worthy of being taught by outsiders.
Rush rust...
The red candle sways, reflecting a figure lying on the desk.
He was so focused, his eyes fixed on the front of the stage.
His hands were fast, tracing and carving knives, threading needles and threading threads... All kinds of fine tools flashed by in his hands like a flash of flowers.
The space with a large inch is like his world, and it has a sense of calmness and confidence, and everything is under control.
So, the brush swept the dragon and the knife was flying. Soon, the shadow puppets of the faces were formed one by one under his hands, including the big green, the flower actress, the clown, the young actor, the old student...
Soon a shadow puppetry team was all formed.
After drawing the last oil color, Zhuang Ke raised his eyelids and a strange light flashed by.
In the reflection of the eyes, the complete set of shadow puppets on the table are bright and bright, bursting out a strange light, and the overall aura changes greatly.
Staring at me, I felt that the shadow pupils artificially carved with various strange emotions seemed to be revealed in their pupils, jokes, indifference, and vicissitudes...
The dead objects originally created by man came alive and came alive.
The air became cold inexplicably cold, and it made people feel goosebumps almost.
"Go!" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhuang Ke's mouth, and then his fingers moved slightly, and his fingertips burst into bright light.
As soon as the words came to an end, strands of silver threads suddenly burst out from the depths of the dim void, making a clanging sound.
Zhuang Ke's ten fingers burst into starlight, and with this as the starting point, it constantly stretched and spread, forming a series of fine networks in the air, sank into the void, extending infinitely, extending to some unknown place.
Then, the shadow puppet on the desk moved.
There was no sound of the wind, but people stood up one by one, floating in the air.
The shadow puppets took steps, walked in the air, swirling their bodies, dancing lightly.
Hehehehe...
The wind sounded, and the shadows hanging like forests on the beams swayed, making strange noises of laughter, as if welcoming the arrival of the newcomers.
What accompanied it was an extremely wonderful feeling that surged into Zhuang Ke's heart.
"Shadow Puppet: The Pear Garden Shocking Dream
Features: Face change
Price: Too deeply involved in the play, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false
…”
At this moment, a shiny bronze mirror was erected in front of the desk, which clearly reflected her thin face, and Danfeng's eyes showed an indelible coldness.
Zhuang Ke looked at himself in the mirror, his mouth curled slightly, and he opened silently...
A strange oil paint appeared from the lower cheek line, spreading upwards, crossing the lines on the lips, climbing up the Nose Mountain, crossing the Sichuan character pattern, covering the entire Tianling cover.
At this time, the face of the sinister boy had long disappeared, and a beauty with peach-faced and willow-eyed eyebrows appeared.
"I have seen you all!"
The beauty lowered her eyebrows, her voice was gentle and charming, as if she was ashamed to see someone, and her hands covered her face.
When I took my hand away again, I saw that it was a handsome young man with a sword-eyed eyebrows and star-like eyes.
"Young Master, I'm polite!"
The young actor bowed his head and bowed his head, and then looked up, he was already a gentle and elegant student with a handsome face and a long hair.
then……
Oil paints emerged, faces, like kaleidoscopes, changing rapidly, just between looking up and looking down.
There are thousands of people and thousands of faces, and it is hard to distinguish between true and false.
Is this the ability this "Liyuan Jingmeng" shadow puppet team brings me?
The theater is terrifying, and the obsession cannot be eliminated after death. It confuses mortals just to find successors and inherit the soul of the drama!
But I didn't expect that the last thought was broken in my hands, and instead made me a shadow puppet!
turn out to be……
The murderer is actually me!
A strange smile flashed across Zhuang Ke's mouth.
That's right, this is one of the unique abilities of shadow puppets.
Make treacherous shadow puppets, bear the price, and share its characteristics.
This set of "Liyuan Jingmeng" is made based on the theater's group corners, including the big Qingyi, Huadan, Laosheng, Xiaosheng, clown... A face, a change!
This is how to change your face!
And changing faces is not just about changing faces.
The face has facial features, connecting the five senses, the mouth, nose, tongue, ears and minds.
As the face changes, even the voice changes, both men and women.
Originally, Zhuang Ke played a shadow puppet alone, and he always played a role in a thousand roles.
And now this last defect has been filled.
Inexplicably, Zhuang Ke thought of a sentence.
"There are people who are good at verb skills..."
...
Zhuang Ke slowly raised his head and saw a few strands of strands hanging down from the beams.
A shadow puppet is hung on each silk thread, displayed neatly, with its own shape.
I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or some unknown mystery, but I seemed to feel Zhuang Ke’s gaze, and the shadow puppet turned around and looked at each other.
Zhuang Ke inspected the past, like reading millions of soldiers!
Soon, so soon...
Just a little short of it, I can completely refine the "secret recipe" of Shadow Poker and officially enter the Tao!
He felt regret and joy in his heart.
This is a world where mundane and mysterious coexist.
The three religions are orthodox, the nine sects originated from the stream, eight hundred side doors, three thousand left-wing roads, and countless undercurrents that are beyond imagination surge under the surface of the world.
And he is a lineage among the left and right paths of the side, a shadow puppet!
Zhuang Ke was an ordinary man in his previous life. By chance, he collected a layer of painted ancient scrolls. When he woke up, he came to the Dayu Dynasty where bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes coexisted, and came to a three-year-old boy who died prematurely by human traffickers.
He was in a difficult situation, but because he was smart by nature, he was soon bought by a down-and-out shadow puppet and became his apprentice.
The old shadow puppet was poor and not good to him, but Zhuang Ke II was born with wisdom and did not receive much beating or scolding.
In this way, he ran with the old shadow puppet for five or six years. On a snowy night, the shadow puppet was exhausted and finally couldn't stand it.
There is no kind father and filial son. The old shadow puppet seems to have accepted his fate long ago, but he coldly instructed Zhuang Ke to bury him with a straw mat and not to throw his body away in the wilderness.
After Zhuang Ke agreed, he seemed to have completed his last thought, solemnly took out a shadow puppet that looked like him and handed it over from his arms.
It is only said that if Zhuang Ke can understand the key points in his lifetime, he might have a great fortune to splash.
If you can't understand it thoroughly, you can only blame yourself for not having this blessing.
Originally, Zhuang Ke was skeptical, but he didn't expect that the old shadow puppet had just buried the old shadow puppet in a remote hill. The painted ancient scroll, which had not been moving as he traveled through time, happened to be at this time.
People know ghosts and are terrified, while ghosts know people’s hearts and souls are poisonous.
The painted ancient scroll seemed to have an invisible ghost hand that depicted the life of the old shadow puppet, and even showed the origin of cultivation one by one.
The old shadow puppet would not know even if he died. He thought it would take a lifetime to understand the key, but Zhuang Ke instantly obtained all the mysteries through the painting of the ancient scroll.
It turns out that the shadow puppet that looks like him is a collection of all his extraordinary characteristics, the shadow puppet craftsman, the "secret recipe" for practicing the side and side!
This world's cultivation is spread in its origins, and there are three religions and nine stellarities, and there are many mysterious things.
Every kind of cultivation faction has its own unique power and is difficult to guess.
But as a mortal, holding extraordinary authority must have a root, which is the "secret recipe"!
