Opera "The List of Gods"
Two lyrics in the list of deities:
( 1)
Who lives in Zhouzhi zaolin village (also known as "Chuan" or "Tan"),
Tie the tiger with an iron rope.
The jade emperor's family was sealed,
Give me a piece of paper, Zhao Xuantan.
(2)
When I was born, it was dark,
When you abandoned me, the stars were not complete.
Ghosts and gods fear all their lives,
Practice in the south (also known as "Emei") Baoshan.
Master Wen Zhong touched me,
Fairy mountain is opposite the Black Lake.
Go to Xiqi to have your teeth punched,
Seven arrows, my life is dead.
