Hearing Lin Mo, Yunjin was stunned.

Kunqu?

Is there such a saying?

She knew about schools, but she didn't know these schools that Lin Mo mentioned.

Thinking of this, the light in Yunjin's eyes became even stronger; she could almost feel the charm of those operas from Lin Mo's brief description.

She immediately said: "Mr. Lin Mo, could you explain it to me in detail? Especially those classic plays."

Yunjin's voice was full of longing, and her love for the art of opera made every word she spoke tremble.

"Of course I can."

Hearing Yunjin, Lin Mo nodded and said: "For example, Du Liniang's dream of Jinghong in 'The Peony Pavilion' has delicate emotions; the 'Heavenly Match' in 'Huangmei Opera' is lingering and tells the love between the human world and the immortal world. Every play is a crystallization of tradition and innovation, with both profound cultural heritage and unique artistic expression."

Through the operas in his mind, Lin Mo talked eloquently, as if counting his family treasures.

And Yunjin, listening to Lin Mo introduce one classic opera after another as if counting family treasures, had a look of shock on her face that was beyond words.

She thought she already knew quite a bit about opera, but she didn't expect Lin Mo's insights to be so unique.

Lin Mo's understanding of each type of opera was thorough and deep, and every analysis was insightful, as if he himself were a living character in those stories.

Especially these operas that Lin Mo mentioned, which she had never heard of.

For a time, Yunjin's heart became even more longing.

"Mr. Lin Mo, your understanding of opera is simply breathtaking."

Yunjin praised, her voice full of admiration, and also a hint of imperceptible envy: "May I ask, how did you become so proficient?"

Hearing Yunjin, Lin Mo just smiled slightly, noncommittally: "Opera is like life, rich and colorful. If you learn and watch more, you will naturally have some realizations."

Lin Mo's words were simple but profound, making Yunjin linger in the world of opera for a long time, and her respect for Lin Mo surged like a tide.

"Then can you tell me about the operas you just mentioned?"

The next second, Yunjin thought of something and hurriedly pursued the question, with thick anticipation in her eyes.

She was very interested in the stories in some of the operas Lin Mo just mentioned.

"Of course I can."

Hearing Yunjin, Lin Mo nodded happily.

Beside them, Collei and Fischl saw this and also hurriedly listened attentively.

And Yunjin was extremely happy, hurriedly looking at Lin Mo.

Under Yunjin's expectant gaze, Lin Mo slowly narrated: "'The Peony Pavilion' is a Kunqu opera, telling the love story of Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei. Du Liniang dreamed of Liu Mengmei in the spring garden, and the two were in love, but this was just a dream. When the real Liu Mengmei arrived, Du Liniang had already passed away. The unwilling love awakened her from death, and with the brave posture of 'leaving the boudoir to welcome the groom', she pursued her own love."

After briefly narrating the general plot of "The Peony Pavilion",

Lin Mo paused, observing Yunjin's expression attracted by the plot, and continued: "As for 'Heavenly Match', it generally tells the legendary story of Dong Yong and the Seventh Fairy. Dong Yong was a poor scholar who accidentally saved an old man and got the opportunity to marry the Seventh Fairy. The Seventh Fairy descended to the mortal world to help Dong Yong, and the two experienced many twists and turns together, finally overcoming difficulties and proving that true love is invincible."

This time, Lin Mo told it in more detail.

Yunjin listened intently; she was immersed in Lin Mo's narration, feeling the deep affection in the opera that transcended life and death and transcended classes.

Time passed quietly.

Even as fewer and fewer people were in the Yunhan Society, Yunjin didn't notice.

It wasn't until Lin Mo paused that Yunjin suddenly came back to her senses.

"The span of these operas is really too large, from the disputes in the human world to the myths of the immortal world, from the fantasies of dreams to the cruelty of reality, all are included in these stories."

Yunjin, who had come back to her senses, looked at Lin Mo in shock: "And these operas are all ones I have never heard of, and even the so-called Seventh Fairy appeared."

You know, Liyue is a country with a rich culture of immortals and gods.

This so-called immortal world, the so-called Seventh Fairy, and the so-called scholar could all make Liyue people subconsciously identify with them.

"If I sing this opera, it will definitely make the Yunhan Society even more famous!"

The next second, Yunjin looked at Lin Mo excitedly: "Lin Mo, thank you, you opened up my understanding of opera."

Speaking of this, Yunjin hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lin Mo, thanking Lin Mo.

What Lin Mo said today really shocked Yunjin too much.

And Lin Mo shook his head and laughed: "Opera is like this; it is not just a performance on the stage, but an art form that transcends time and space. The emotions and concepts it conveys can deeply touch people's hearts."

After hearing this, Yunjin only felt that the charm of opera was even more unfathomable, and her admiration for Lin Mo flowed like a surging spring, unable to stop.

She was even more convinced that opera was not only the inheritance of culture but also the exchange of emotions and wisdom, and a bridge between hearts and hearts.

If it weren't for the late hour, she would even want to pull Lin Mo to talk for a long time.

"It's getting late, I won't disturb your time anymore."

The next second, Yunjin looked at the sky outside and then at Fischl, who was yawning, and said softly: "I will ask you for advice tomorrow."

If it weren't for Fischl and Collei, Yunjin would have already wanted to pull Lin Mo back to her room to sit down and discuss these operas properly.

"Hmm, okay."

Hearing Yunjin, Lin Mo nodded gently.

It was late, and it was time to go back to sleep.

Immediately, he left under Yunjin's lingering and unsatisfied gaze.

"I must get more detailed opera stories from Mr. Lin Mo." **CHAPTER 551**
