"Shopkeeper, how do you know that my master has not entered the city?"

Hong Yun didn't know where the master went.

Even Taoist Master Qian and Taoist Master Xu couldn't figure out where the theater was, whether it was in the city or outside the city.

This shopkeeper should not be that familiar with Uncle Jiu.

Although he has worked here for more than 40 years, he has no personal relationship after all, so how could he know where Uncle Jiu is?

Could it be that Uncle Jiu has a very good relationship with him in private and he doesn’t know about it?

"Young boss, don't guess. To be honest, this has nothing to do with Uncle Jiu."

"To be honest, I'm not from Linjiazhai. If the old man hadn't arranged for me to come here to do things, I wouldn't have come to Linjiazhai at all."

"The reason I know Uncle Jiu's whereabouts is because I have heard people talk about this, and the person who talks about it happened to be the troupe who took it."

After the shopkeeper's story, Hong Yun and the other two realized the reason.

It turned out that the shopkeeper heard about this from the mouth of a troupe.

According to that person, in the whole Shantai County, only their family is willing to take on this job.

For nothing else, it's because their theater owner is too poor.

"This is impossible. Are there still poor opera troupes?"

"Shopkeeper, don't fool me. If you want to say that the people working in the opera troupe are poor, why do I not believe that the boss is so poor?"

In Hong Yun's impression, although the opera troupe cannot be said to be rich, just like some actors from later generations, they can earn more than 2 million in a day by just tossing.

This even created a unit of value, which was a bloody joke like 2.08 million.

But at least, the opera troupe has never been able to get involved in the word "poverty" from ancient times to the present.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many children from poor families. In order to survive, they would rather have a reputation as a disgrace than join the opera troupe to learn opera.

You know, the actors in ancient times were not like the bullshit stars in later generations. They were all praised to heaven and even offered sacrifices on incense tables.

Even though it is now entering the era of science and technology, the intersection of countries and the rise of civilization, the word "Actor" is still not a good word.

Therefore, it can be understood that if you really don’t make money, no one will be willing to do this business.

"Young boss, don't get me wrong. This is poor, of course, relative."

"If you really say that it is more difficult than those poor people who farm or beg for food on the streets and alleys, then you must not be considered poor."

"But compared to other opera troupes and even ordinary urban people, the people in this opera troupe are really not rich."

The shopkeeper continued to explain, so Hong Yun understood what the so-called poverty was like.

It is nothing more than the difference between first-line stars and eighteen-line stars in later generations. They are much richer than ordinary people.

"This opera troupe mainly relies on going to the village to sing big shows to make money, otherwise he would not have lived in the yard outside the county town."

"The villagers are reluctant to spend a lot of money on singing operas, and most people can't hear anything good. As long as they sing on the tune, they can play lively."

"If you want to say it's easy to do, you can fool it casually. If you want to say it's difficult, you have to make less money. Therefore, this company is helpless. In order to earn more money, you can even take on this kind of work."

The shopkeeper is quite cautious and dare not talk about ghost dramas, but he just dares to take on this job.

But everyone understands the meaning, basically, this is the level of this company anyway.

On weekdays, I rely on the scenes in the village to make some money, so the owner of this theater has no money to buy a yard in the city, so naturally I can't make a lot of money.

If you can’t make a lot of money, you can’t afford a good candidate. This is a vicious cycle.

But it is okay to make a living by force.

It’s just that those who do this kind of business have their eyes turned upwards and no one looks down.

Most people who can enter this industry have shallow eyes and only yellow and white things can be seen, so they want to make more money.

If you want to make money, it is not easy to make money from living people, but it is not difficult to make money from dead people.

Because of this kind of ghost drama, most other opera troupes are not short of money, so they are naturally unwilling to cause trouble.

After all, if you can't do this kind of work well, and your life is gone, what's the use of making money?

Besides, people are not short of these three miscellaneous things, and they don’t even look down on them.

If the people in this troupe like this, the poor are brave and probably not afraid of this, so they took it.

Not to mention, with the care of Uncle Jiu, these people have not had any problems until now, and they have made a lot of money.

While eating at Baohe Inn, the man somehow started bragging to others.

I am quite proud to mention this matter.

The shopkeeper's picture was fresh, so he chatted with him for a few words, so he learned about the various things here.

Today, I happened to meet my young boss, so I explained it clearly.

"So that's it, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing."

"So, if we drive on the official road, it's better to ride a horse and walk on the mountain road. This can save more than half of the road and a lot of time."

The location of this opera troupe is quite remote, and it is not a good location even outside the county town.

It is closer to the foot of the mountain, but no one disturbs them when they practice acting normally.

But it also cut off the possibility of ordinary people coming to their place.

No one wants to go out of the city for several miles to come to the yard at the foot of the mountain, specifically to listen to a group of opera troupes who may not even be so professional.

Who is crazy?

Is there so many opera troupes in the city not listening, and so many actors not being praised, so I chased me to this broken place and listen to a group of half of professional contestants singing?

Just to save how much money?

Who can listen to operas and have fun these days?

Those who are really short of this little money don’t even enter their broken garden. They just wait for them to go down the village. Isn’t it good to listen to the free drama?

They are all from the villagers, who doesn’t know who is in the background?

Therefore, if Hong Yun and the others want to drive to this broken land, they will not be able to walk on the official road, and they will have to turn five miles outside the city.

Then go around a small road and turn into the not-so-smooth road.

Otherwise, you have to bypass the county town and walk more than ten miles, and you also have to turn a slightly shorter gravel road, about two miles away.

No matter how you go, it is better to ride a horse into the mountain just by counting the time.

Even if the horse is not as fast as the car, it can save at least ten minutes.

The three of them rode the fast horses in the inn and went straight to the theater along the mountain road.

Along the way, Taoist Master Qian and his brothers both looked nervous.

After all, except Hong Yun, I don’t know what happened.

They thought that if Uncle Jiu went there in such a hurry, it might be possible that there would be a big change in the theater.

Of course, this incident is not small.

Just as the three of them were rushing along the mountain road, they had just walked to the other end of the mountain.

Before they could go down the mountain, the three of them saw a brightly lit yard at the foot of the mountain.

It seems out of place with the darkness around it. Obviously, on this day, the lights are still on, so there is probably only that theater.

"My nephew, it seems that it is the yard."

Taoist Master Qian raised his hand and pointed it. In fact, it was not necessary for him to say that Hong Yun and the others also saw it.

"That's right, according to the shopkeeper's location, it's there. There is no such a large yard around it, and there is no light on it."

At the foot of the mountain is a small village with few people, only a dozen or twenty families, and you can see your head at a glance.

This yard is the largest, but there are not many rooms inside. There is a room that looks particularly large and does not look like an ordinary private house.

Therefore, it is actually very easy to discover this yard.

The three of them seized the direction and ran away directly.

As soon as I got down the mountain road, before the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw dark clouds floating out of the large courtyard.

"No, all the ghosts fly together, this is a ghost's blow."

As soon as Heiyun appeared, Taoist Master Qian shouted "No," and didn't care about anything else. While driving the horse, he quickly took out a magic weapon from his robe's pocket.

"How is this possible? Did the ghost man fall asleep?"

"Even if the ghost fell asleep, Judge Zhang would not be able to fall asleep. Something was decided to be an accident. Junior brother, let's do it quickly!"

Before the two of them could finish their words, they came outside the courtyard wall.

They jumped off the horse and didn't even have time to tie the horse up, so the two of them activated their magic weapon and began to catch ghosts.

"Mr. Nephew, we ask the God lineage to be good at killing ghosts and not good at catching ghosts. Do you have any talismans on your body?"

After the two Taoist Master Qian and his brothers took action, they killed more than a dozen ghosts with one move.
