Yu Zhengyuan waved the command flag three times in succession,
On the first wave, a figure appeared on the wall of Jingyi Hall.
The figure was tall and slender, wearing a Daoist robe and holding a folded fan—precisely Zhou Xuan's shadow.
With the subsequent two waves, Zhou Xuan's shadow went from blurry to incredibly clear, as if at any moment it might step out from the wall.
Yu Zhengyuan saw the lifelike shadow on the wall, and his command flag drew a semicircle, pointing to each of the masters performing the Nuo opera joyously, saying,
"We've performed dramas such as 'Opening Mountain,' 'Thunder,' 'Out of Nuo.' Now, the Nuo God descends, and Ping Shui's Nuo shows its spiritual power, all of you grasshead gods, hurry to greet the Nuo God."
With this order, the play masters who were frantically dancing stopped their movements, kneeling towards Zhou Xuan's shadow.
