I created countless illusions

Chapter 13 Sword Brave Qin Qin Ning Caichen
In the barren mountains and wild ridges, with dense fog and drizzle, my brother's singing of A Chinese Ghost Story still seemed to echo in my ears.

In the teahouse by the side of the road, Yang Shou sat on a stool with a sword in his hand, chewing cold and hard steamed buns.

He didn't look at or move the food and wine on the table.

Behind him is a group of reckless men fighting. The splashed plasma and abandoned limbs all seem to testify to the side that this era is out of control and has become absurd and cruel.

The sound of fighting gradually stopped, because another group of people rushed in and quickly killed all the people who had been fighting before.

The corpses all over the ground, the pooled blood gradually formed a creek.

"Ning Caichen, the piano and sword scholar?" Among the newcomers, the leading man, holding a painting in his hand, asked according to Yang Shou's appearance.

Yang Shou already knew who the visitors were and what their purpose was, but he still read the lines following the plot: "Yes, I am Ning Caichen!"

"Very good! Your time of death has arrived."

"When you wrote the letter to impeach the national teacher, you should have thought that sooner or later your body will be decapitated." The big man in the lead waved his hand, and a group of bandits surrounded Yang Shou from all sides.

Then there was no more nonsense, and many bandits swung their knives and chopped at Yang Shou.

Yang Shou stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and swipe at the hilt, and the long sword was immediately unsheathed in the air.

Holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, the sword swayed like a shooting star, swaying to the surroundings.

When filming, the action was recorded in sections in order to fit the camera position.

These movements are also designed by the martial arts instructor Xiaodong, not only very fancy and beautiful, but also appear to be unconstrained.

But at this moment, Yang Shou really used this sword technique, but he didn't think it was just a show.

Elegant, unrestrained, precise, and ruthless, this is Yang Shou's first impression of this sword art when he uses it.

At the same time, this sword technique, which had no name in the original movie setting, has a name and origin in Yang Shou's mind.

This sword technique is called 'Jinghong', which was created by the Jinghong swordsman a hundred years ago. Ning Caichen learned it by accident, and after ten years of hard work, he has already reached the point of perfection.

"The movie is only less than two hours long, and there are still many things that are not clearly explained. But the illusion is different. It is a special all-round 'world'. Everyone here has their origins. Every experience has its reasons.”

"So this special 'completion' is the uniqueness and magic of the illusion."

Thinking about it, Yang Shou's sword was like a shooting star, and he had stabbed down more than a dozen bandits with knives.

But more bandits stepped on the corpse of their companions and surrounded and killed them from various tricky angles.

They are not afraid of death at all, and they are proficient in special techniques of fighting and killing.

Seeing these orderly, fierce and fearless bandits, Yang Shou couldn't help but recall those dragon and tiger warriors he had seen on the set.

The prosperity of Hong Kong martial arts films, ghost films, police and gangster films, and action films cannot do without the support of a large group of hard-working and highly professional dragon and tiger martial artists.

Although the shooting scene seemed to overlap with the fighting scene in front of him, Yang Shou never showed any mercy.

The sword light flickered, and the figures rose and fell.

In Pian Pian Xiao Sa's time, these bandits all died under his sword.

This is his first official appearance as a leading actor, and it is through such a scene that his persona is framed first.

In the gradually growing torrential rain, Yang Shou's sword touched the neck of the leader of the bandit.

"What advantage did the national teacher give you to make you work so hard for him?" Yang Shou asked.

The bandit leader laughed loudly: "Money, wine and the most beautiful woman, in this world, are these enough?"

Yang Shou's eyes were slightly cold.

With a sweep of the sword's edge, blood fell to the ground.

"enough!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the blood-stained oil-paper umbrella on the ground, held a sword in one hand and held an umbrella in the other, and walked into the barren mountain and rain alone in a white dress.

Next, Yang Shou entered Guobei County and inquired about the location of Lanruo Temple.

From the perspective of watching movies, watching such a scene, on the whole, tends to be absurd and ridiculous.

However, being in a concrete and real environment, Guobei County gave Yang Shou a serious decline in "joy" and a sharp rise in the sense of desolation in a troubled world where everyone's fate is involuntary.

Here, human life is worthless, and officials randomly catch dead ghosts on the street.

The peddlers in business, the beggars on the road, the shop owners... are all cunning, cunning, and full of absurd lies, but they all say it without changing their faces.

It was here that Yang Shou exchanged the only jade pendant on his body for a painting.

The woman in the painting is Nie Xiaoqian, the eldest daughter of my mentor Nie Wenyuan.

Seven years ago, Nie Wenyuan's family passed through Guobei County and was chased and killed by horse bandits. The eldest daughter Nie Xiaoqian died tragically.

In a panic, Nie Wenyuan arranged for servants to hastily buried him under the big pagoda tree outside Lanruo Temple.

Taking this as a sign, it was supposed to arrange for people to take away the corpse and transport it back to the hometown after the situation was settled down.

Unexpectedly, the court was in turmoil and the world was in turmoil.

Nie Wenyuan sent seven or eight groups of people, all of whom died on the way.

Ning Caichen was not annoyed that he had taken over the power of the Chinese division and overshadowed the sky with one hand. After he wrote a letter of impeachment, he resigned and left.

Entrusted by his teacher, Minister of Rites, Nie Wenyuan, he went to Lanruo Temple to transport the bones of his eldest daughter Nie Xiaoqian back to his hometown for burial.

After inquiring about the location of Lanruo Temple from the innkeeper, Yang Shou broke into the deep mountains to find Lanruo Temple one by one.

On the deserted street behind him, there is only a blind old man playing an erhu.

The sound of music full of weird tension, accompanied by Yang Shou's footsteps, seemed to shroud the entire Guobei County in a thick layer of shadow.

The erhu soundtrack is naturally composed by Huang Zhan.

In the deep mountains, deserted temples, and wild smoke and vines, night crows are crying.

Yang Shou pushed open the gate of Lanruo Temple, and a gust of cold wind blew out from the gate, almost fascinating his eyes.

"It's so dark!" Yang Shou muttered.

At this time, Ning Caichen, played by Yang Shou, only has martial arts, not Taoism.

To get the Taoism specifically, we have to wait until the plot enters the middle stage.

Regarding the part of obtaining Taoism, Yang Shou instructed Xu Ke to take pictures more carefully.

The purpose is to increase the proportion of that Taoism in the whole play.

This kind of Taoism with a special 'sign' and an important turning point is often more comprehensive and excellent than the martial arts and spells that the illusion completes by itself.

In reality, Yang Shou's practice methods are all high-end goods purchased with aura.

In the future, if you want to break through to the Yinyuan Realm with an excellent foundation, a good Taoism is very important.

"Since the night is deep, let's rest first."

"Just wait until tomorrow, when the bones are unearthed, then I will leave." Yang Shou walked into Lanruo Temple, found a dilapidated meditation room to live in, and waited for Nie Xiaoqian's late-night 'call'.

Sitting cross-legged on the haystack, Yang Shou sorted out his previous illusion experience and summed up his own shortcomings.

"In Guobei County, although I bought a big rooster that crows in advance and a few cans of black dog blood, I also bought a charm that has a certain effect of suppressing evil, but in order to maintain the stability of the plot, I didn't dig deeper boldly, and sold the owner of the talisman. It's a pity that I changed the book of talismans, but I didn't use any means to turn this boss into one of my dark sons."

"Be more careful afterwards and don't miss details that can be exploited."
