Chapter 94
Standing from the perspective of Wang's parents, they were certainly not pleased with the comments posted by netizens.
Their own well-behaved daughter, who hadn't even dated a boyfriend yet, was now moving into a "Civil Affairs Bureau" and "getting married" with two other girls?
And there were even viewers commenting "straight to the bridal chamber"...
!!!!!
What kind of bridal chamber is there for girls with girls? What could they possibly do??
Even if this was just a stage, just a performance.
Wang's parents were still on the verge of exploding with anger.
And at this moment.
The performance began, and the first line of singing came through:
"The eighteenth of the first lunar month, an auspicious day, the sorghum is raised..." the twin girls sang on stage.
Old Wang frowned.
Having taught Chinese language for his entire life, he was very familiar with ancient Chinese traditions.
"Marriage is forbidden in the first lunar month; there's a saying called 'Rising Red,' and the eighteenth is the 'Sanniang Sha' (Three Ladies' Curse)... The first lunar month combined with the Sanniang Sha, a taboo upon a taboo, how could they get married?"
Wang's father said: "These people doing music nowadays don't have the slightest bit of common sense."
The so-called Sanniang Sha... legend has it that in ancient times, there was a woman named "Sanniang" who was beautiful and enchanting, a woman who could topple cities, and she was determined to marry an ideal husband and spend her life with him.
However, for some reason, Sanniang offended the Matchmaker God. Sanniang pleaded with the Matchmaker God six times to tie the red thread for her, but the Matchmaker God refused, causing Sanniang's black hair to turn white while she remained unmarried, living alone in an empty room.
Sanniang held a grudge over this matter.
Because the Matchmaker God would not tie the red thread for her, she could not marry. Driven by a desire for revenge, Sanniang loved to oppose the Matchmaker God and specifically sabotaged the happy events of newlyweds. Therefore, the days of the Sanniang Sha each month—the 3rd, 7th, 13th, 18th, 22nd, and 27th—are considered unsuitable for marriage.
It is rumored that anyone who marries on these days will not find happiness, is destined to have few reunions and many partings, will have little luck with children, and will find many things unsatisfactory. Thus, the true Sanniang Sha is a baleful day, and people avoid it when choosing dates.
Old Wang was an old pedant and was very familiar with these things.
Not to mention Western-style weddings, Chinese-style weddings require a fortune teller to calculate an auspicious date. Unless the fortune teller has a grudge against the bride and groom or their families, they would never choose such a day.
Wang's mother smiled and said: "How would these young people today know these things? Valentine's Day is usually in the first lunar month, and don't many people get married then too?"
"That's why the divorce rate is so high nowadays."
"..."
What you say makes so much sense that I am left speechless.
Wang's mother gave a faint smile and did not refute: "I actually think this music is very wrong, strange; it doesn't sound like music for a wedding."
It wasn't just her.
The netizens also felt it was strange.
The atmosphere on stage was strange.
The costumes were strange.
The lighting was strange.
The lyrics were also strange.
Not to mention having nothing to do with the song title, they were simply completely unrelated.
It was like writing an essay and going off-topic.
The more they listened, the more something felt wrong.
"Strange."
"There's an inexplicable feeling of horror."
"Me too, especially the girls' smiles. They are clearly super beautiful and their smiles are very sweet, but paired with this kind of music, it always makes my spine go cold and my heart feel uneasy."
"This song is not right."
The comments became more and more numerous. Under the influence of the eerie music, the dance, the smiles, the atmosphere, and the empathy talent, the silly viewers lost their earlier joy, their expressions turned solemn one by one, and some even felt a tightness in their chests.
This was the sense of oppression and despair within the song.
And as this feeling grew stronger, the rhythm of the entire song was also rapidly accelerating.
At this point, it had reached the section where the rhythm quickened.
"The wild cat has followed for several streets
Its neck crooked while climbing the tree
Looking over, she is waiting
This village is also strange...
It's Wang Ergou's shoes again
..."
Eerie lyrics.
Eerie accompaniment.
It was truly too eerie!
Even though it was a super intense rap with synchronized dancing, to the ears and eyes of the audience, it made their hearts race with coldness, a deep sense of gloom permeating their entire bodies.
By now, the style of the comments had long since changed.
Before, it was "worship heaven and earth, enter the bridal chamber" and "cuddle with the wife," but now it had become "comment protection."
The comments became increasingly dense.
"Ah ah ah ah ah, so scary!"
"Holy crap!"
"Comment protection!"
"Everyone post more, I'm scared!"
"Goosebumps, instantly rising."
"Listen carefully to the lyrics, there's no wedding celebration, the neighbors are closing their doors..."
"Also, throwing shoes outside the door, there's a saying that it wards off evil..."
"Wild cats are psychic."
"The departed also refers to the separation of the living and the dead."
"Think about it, think about it carefully."
"Hiss..."
"Hiss..."
"At this moment, I am terrified."
"What kind of underworld song is this?"
"Mom, the little Poison Queen is playing with horror again."
"《Underworld Music》, let's just say, do the two sisters Xu Mingyue have some misunderstanding about music?"
"Late at night, you make us listen to this?"
Wang's parents were silent at this moment. Looking at the comments, they knew it wasn't that the composer didn't understand common sense, but that it was done on purpose.
This song was different from the songs they usually heard.
At this time, on the screen, it was about to reach the climax.
Sharp-eyed netizens noticed that the girl in white had an extra suona in her hand.
The camera also did a close-up at this moment, and the audience's attention was instantly drawn to it.
"A suona?"
"Where did that pop out from?"
"A thousand-year pipa, a ten-thousand-year zheng, a single suona blows for a lifetime."
"It really is a funeral handled as a wedding, they even brought out a suona?"
"The little Poison Queen can also play the suona?"
At this very moment, the audience's interest was completely hooked.
The suona is a rarely seen instrument in daily life, usually appearing at weddings and funerals, and in modern times, it is mostly seen only at funerals.
Let alone appearing on a variety show.
While the audience felt creeped out, they also felt it was very novel and had a sense of freshness.
The song also finally entered its true climax at this moment.
"She is crying while smiling
Guess how she is crying while smiling
