Chapter 465 461. Harvest Festival Celebration (XVI)

The performance of the Duanggong opera ended and the performers left the stage.

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

The Qiang people even started their sacrificial dance to echo the performance on stage.

It can be seen that the two come from the same source.

The front was shocked.

Then I looked forward even more to the unique performance of the Guoguo Opera.

However, amid everyone's anticipation, the curtain was drawn, covering the entire stage tightly.

There was a lot of discussion below the stage, but no one came out to explain.

Just when everyone thought something had happened and the performance was about to be interrupted.

clang!
A gong sounded, followed by the sound of drums and music.

The curtain slowly opened.

I saw a high platform erected on the stage.

It is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top and is divided into three layers. Even if the height is not three meters, it is at least two meters and seven or eight.

The top floor is only wide enough for one person to stand.

And standing there was a woman in colorful clothes.

The woman had a small face, the size of a palm, and a childish look.

Although her face was expressionless and cold, her eyes and eyebrows were charming.

Her head is covered with silver ornaments, sparkling brightly.

She was wearing a colorful flower-embroidered skirt with a bouquet around her waist that hung down to her wrists. She was tied with two long embroidered red ribbons that stretched from the platform to the ground.

The woman wore pink thick pants on her lower body, and leggings tied with pink and white cloth belts, with two silver bells tied to the top of the leggings.

On her feet she wore a pair of white shoes that were shaped like small boats with slightly raised toes and embroidered with fire patterns.

The most popular gradient color is the one that gradually changes from top to bottom.

As soon as the woman in colorful clothes appeared, she just stood there quietly without any movement.

The group of little girls who supported the opera in the audience were still looking at each other and whispering, asking why the performer in the most crucial scene was not Taotao or Xiaoxiao, but an unfamiliar little girl.

The clothes and accessories she wears don't look like those from a play.

Beside them, the group of Qiang people were cheering and shouting, "Cai Yue! Cai Yue!"

I still remember the tree hole with the Qiang embroidered colorful skirt I saw this morning. Suddenly I realized, "Why is the dress she wears the same as the Qiang people? Why are those Qiang people shouting? Don't they support the Duangong opera?"

"Because she is from the Qiang tribe." Luo Yihang smiled and pointed towards the Qiang people. "Caiyue is not only from the Qiang tribe, but also the granddaughter of the great witch there."

"Then why in the Gugu opera..." Shudong wanted to ask again.

The sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped, and then the sound of stringed instruments and the tinkling of zithers and harps began.

Accompanied by pleasant and elegant ancient music.

Caiyue moved.

With a flick of his wrist, a red ribbon swung high up and floated to the level of Caiyue's shoulders.

Then Caiyue shook her entire arm and the ribbon flew to the front of the stage like a dragon.

Then Caiyue's left hand flew up, and another colorful ribbon arrived first, transforming into two dragons fighting for the pearl in the air.

But when it was about to stick to each other, it suddenly separated to the left and right and flew to both sides.

Then, Caiyue moved all over.

Spinning on the spot, dancing gracefully in a small space.

Two long colorful ribbons moved with his body, up or down, left or right, sometimes stretched straight like a stick and flew out, sometimes becoming soft like cotton and drawing circles.

At the same time, the silver bells tied on her legs rang crisply as she moved, blending in with the sounds of stringed instruments.

This is the water sleeve dance from traditional opera, except that the water sleeves are replaced with ribbons tied around the wrists.

Not only does she have to dance in place on a small platform, but she has to let the silver bells on her legs blend in with the music.

Wow, this is so many kinds of kung fu.

Is this something that a little girl who looks only in her teens can perform?
And you dance so beautifully?

And even that's not over yet.

As the music lasted for a moment, Caiyue suddenly leaned back on the platform.

Her hands flew, causing the ribbons to fly and spin around her, almost wrapping up her body, causing the audience to scream in surprise.

Caiyue suddenly stood upright when her back was level with the ground, and the ribbons fell lightly.

The extreme movement instantly turned into extreme stillness, the same posture as the beginning.

The dance just now seemed like a dream.

The audience then breathed a sigh of relief, followed by thunderous applause.

Just then, Tao Tao suddenly came out from backstage with a torch in his hand.

After Taotao came on stage, he raised his hand and threw the torch onto the platform.

Caiyue reached out to catch it, then waved the torch in front of her face.

call!
A burst of flames burst out of Caiyue's mouth.

The audience in the audience and the live broadcast room were so scared that many people really jumped up. I'm not using a metaphor to describe it.

At last.

Caiyue waved the colorful ribbons to wrap around the platform and jumped down from it.

It was almost three meters high, and he just used a belt to gain leverage and jumped down directly!
Once again, it caused countless exclamations.

After Caiyue landed, she turned several circles on the spot, facing the audience.

The frost on his face melted away and he smiled faintly.

It caused another round of wow...

The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

The last one was so amazing, so awesome.

Such a little girl gave a wonderful performance.

Everything that came before pales in comparison.
-
Shudong and Luo Shaoan were also frightened. They grabbed Luo Yihang and shouted, "She can breathe fire! How can she breathe fire?"

"This is the unique skill of the Gou Gou Opera, breathing fire. Not only can you breathe fire, you can also sprinkle fire. Sprinkling fire over a large area is even more handsome. But now only Teacher Xu can do it. The students haven't learned it yet."

In fact, Caiyue performed not just one stunt today, but several.

Everyone can see the water sleeves.

Dancing in place is a prerequisite for "chair juggling". "Chair juggling" requires dancing on the back of a chair, which is more difficult and like acrobatics.

The leaning back is part of "getting down from the platform", which requires extremely high leg strength and balance.

The final jump is a unique stunt in the Duangong opera, a kind of Qingtan, which was performed as witchcraft in ancient times to interpret the gods descending to the earth.

Now after the improvements, it is really ethereal and beautiful.

No wonder Xiaoxiao said before that Caiyue’s training was a bit biased. She was particularly good at stunts and was very good at playing with fire.

He is indeed good at it, and he is really good at playing with fire.

In just a few minutes, so many methods were used.

Especially the fire-breathing moment at the end.

The principle of fire breathing is very simple, just hold a sip of liquor in your mouth.

The difficulty lies in how to put it in.

He definitely didn't hold the wine in his mouth when he went on stage. If he kept turning around with the wine in his mouth, he would have to spit it out.

Caiyue was actually able to design it. When she bent down and waved the ribbon, the ribbon wrapped around her body, blocking her vision, and she put the liquor hidden in her sleeves into her mouth.

If Luo Yihang didn't have good eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

This idea is amazing, and it’s even more amazing that it can be performed perfectly on stage.

Luo Yihang didn't know that he had been trying to steal the spotlight since he knew he would be at the Harvest Festival.

Caiyue has been practicing the water sleeve dance and other moves.

Start with a 50-centimeter platform and raise it up little by little.

I don't know how many times I fell.

Even though she looks fine now, she is actually covered in wounds.

After training every day, she has to ask Ms. Cheng Qianlin, a sports health professional, to give her a full set of recovery care before she can sleep.

Otherwise my whole body aches.

The little girl suffered a lot...
