Lord of Puluo

After clearing away the dead souls in three courtyards, Li Banfeng opened four doors and just took a few steps in the courtyard when war drums rumbled and sounded from all directions. ♢

Li Banfeng glanced around, and in the vast courtyard, people from all walks of life appeared one after another, including cavalry, infantry, crossbows, and muskets.

Such a big battle?

Li Banfeng was really panicked.

He couldn't tell whether these soldiers and horses were real or fake. The only thing he could be sure of was that they were not human beings, but dead souls.

Li Banfeng dodged back and forth among the hail of guns and arrows, and touched the pendulum lightly.

Pendulum understood, went around behind Li Banfeng, cut open Li Banfeng's suit, picked out a record from the mezzanine, and used the tip of the pendulum to draw across the texture of the record at a constant speed.

The principle of a gramophone has nothing to do with electromagnetism, only friction and vibration between the stylus and the record.

The pendulum acted as a needle at this moment. This was a tactic that Li Banfeng and his wife came up with together.

Li Banfeng could imitate Niangzi's singing style using his deep house skills, and he could also directly play Niangzi's records on a record player.

But Li Banfeng's singing skills are far behind those of his wife, and there are some enemies that his singing skills alone cannot handle.

But sometimes, it is not convenient for Li Banfeng to take out the record player. In critical moments, he can use the pendulum as a record player to make an emergency.

The ancient roads and barren mountains are struggling with each other, the people of Li are bleeding red, the lamps shine on the yellow sand and the sky is dark, and the dust is lost in the stars and the ghosts are crying.

Chang Ban Slope aria by Zhao Zilong.

This is a aria by a martial artist, but it was carved by a lady. It is a common thing for famous actresses to perform in troupes. This libretto also contains the lady's special throat voice.

The aria of Changban Slope was so powerful that the entire courtyard seemed to be in awe.

Li Banfeng took a quick glance, and it was best to find Xiao Yeci. If he couldn't find him, he had to retreat immediately and couldn't fight here.

Xiao Yeci was indeed not found. Li Banfeng turned to leave, but suddenly saw the actor standing in front of him. His makeup changed from Tsing Yi to Xiaosheng.

Brother, please stay a moment. Where did the aria just now come from?

Li Banfeng looked at the actor and took out a record from behind: It was played from here. Have you seen the record? Let me play it again for you to listen to?

This is Li Banfeng's usual method. He tells the truth first to gain the enemy's trust, and then it will be smoother when he uses his conclusive skills.

He was about to use the pendulum to scratch the record when he suddenly heard the actor shout: Don't use the sword, don't scratch the record!

Li Banfeng was startled and then said angrily: What are you yelling about? There is no record player, so we have to play music like this!

I have a record player! The actor's voice was trembling, Let me listen to it again, and I'll give it back to you!

After saying that, the actor waved his hand, and several dead souls came over with Xiao Yeci.

Xiao Yeci's hands were tied and his mouth was gagged, with a look of fear on his face.

Li Banfeng asked the actor to send Xiao Yeci back to a courtyard, and the actor did so.

Several ghosts carried the record player and came to Li Banfeng. The actor kicked away the ghosts and wiped the record player carefully with his sleeves.

This record player had not been used for several years, and there was a lot of dust on it. The actor wiped it carefully and brought an oil can to oil the record player.

After everything was done, the actor looked at Li Banfeng expectantly.

Li Banfeng put the record on the tray, the actor carefully shook the handle, and the lyrics of Chang Ban Slope came from the record player.

The text of the play is powerful, and the lady's singing voice is very contagious. Every time he hears this part, Li Banfeng feels his blood boiling.

But the actor opposite didn't get excited, he cried.

Li Banfeng didn't expect that the dead souls would also cry, and they cried so much that they couldn't make a sound.

After crying, the actor looked at Li Banfeng and said, Can you give me this record?

Li Banfeng waved his hand: That won't work! This is my magic weapon to kill the enemy in battle.

The actor sobbed: How can this be a magic weapon? This is a rare treasure! You don't understand...

Li Banfeng frowned and said, Why don't I understand? With this record, it's easy to deal with ghosts and ghosts.

Otherwise, you don't understand. If you use this record to fight, you will waste everything! The actor cried even more sadly, as if Li Banfeng had desecrated something very important.

Before Li Banfeng could speak, the actor was crying and singing: Eternal time will come to an end, and this hatred will last forever. If you don't give it away, I will buy it. Please give me a price. I beg you to give me a price...

The actor cried more and more and became more and more sad, unable to speak.

Li Banfeng took the record back and said, Don't cry yet. Let's find a place to talk.

Although the fight lasted nearly a night, Li Banfeng could tell that the actor had some credibility.

The two entered the main room, and the actor ordered someone to make tea.

The ghost servant brought the teapot and teacup, but Li Banfeng didn't drink it. He didn't even know the age of this old tea.

The actor just wanted to buy a record, so this matter was not without discussion.

Li Banfeng offered a price for three things in total.

First thing, let us out.

The actor agreed: This is easy to say.

I'm not talking about letting us leave this house, but letting us leave this land.

The actor thought for a moment and said, Do you want to leave Wuyouping?

Wuyouping? Li Banfeng didn't know this place had a name.

The actor said: It's easy to say. Wuyouping is connected in all directions. You can go anywhere within the boundaries of Puozhou.

Can you go anywhere? Li Banfeng was stunned, This is bordered by every border in Puluo Prefecture?

The actor nodded: And there's no need for a guide.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and asked, Why is this the same as Buccaizhuang?

The actor sighed: There is a mystery here, but I don't want to tell you.

new

You won't tell, right? Li Banfeng stood up and said, The record won't be sold.

Wait a minute! The actor stopped Li Banfeng and said, In fact, you have already said it right. Wuyouping was originally the last three-thirds of Puluo Prefecture, but in these years, it has almost become an unknown place. What is it? It’s hard for me to explain why.”

Can the last three points be transformed into an unknown place?

This was the first time Li Banfeng heard about it.

The actor continued: Since we have arrived at Wuyouping, I will give you a map later. Follow the map and you will definitely not get lost, but you must walk fast, otherwise you will stray into the old land.

This has proved Li Banfeng's guess that this house really belongs to the old land.

Li Banfeng put forward a second condition: Without this record, I lose a sharp weapon to deal with the dead souls. You have to compensate me with a magic weapon.

The actor looked ashamed: In those days, I did have a few magic weapons like this in my hands, but now that the world has changed, I can't get the magic weapon out, but I do have a spiritual object.

He asked the dead soul to fetch a wooden box. When he opened the wooden box, the ghost immediately hid far away.

The actor took out a riding whip from the wooden box and handed it to Li Banfeng: A soul without cultivation can be beaten to pieces with a whip. A soul with cultivation level less than three levels can be seriously injured by a whip.

A dead soul whose cultivation level is less than the fifth level will feel extremely painful if he is hit by a whip. If the opponent's cultivation level is above the fifth level, the whip can also be used, but it is just an ordinary weapon.

Li Banfeng picked up the whip and wanted to give it a try.

The actor shouted: What do you want to do?

If this whip can really hurt the souls of the dead, it really shouldn't be tested here.

Li Banfeng listened to the sound of the whip using the skill of discerning spiritual sounds. The whip was very quiet, without any movement at all.

Li Banfeng frowned and said, Is this thing spiritual?

The actor said: This is a spiritual object made from emptiness. It cannot be refined or recognize its master. Naturally, it cannot be compared with a magic weapon, but its spirituality is sufficient.

Li Banfeng put away the whip and made a third condition: Since I want to sell the record to you, I must know its origin. Who sang the arias in the record?

Of course Li Banfeng knew who sang it, and the main purpose of asking this question was to test it.

The actor sighed and said: It's really hard to reveal the mystery...

Li Banfeng took out the riding crop and said, The records are no longer for sale.

The actor stopped Li Banfeng and said, This aria comes from the heroic cavalry general Zhao Xiaowan. She was a famous general in the Dahuan Dynasty.

Which dynasty was the Dahuan Dynasty?

Previous dynasty.

How far is the previous dynasty from now?

I can't remember clearly. I really can't remember.

The actor told the truth. He was a dead soul, still living in a place like the old land, and had no concept of time at all.

Li Banfeng asked: What kind of person is Zhao Xiaowan?

A famous general is also a famous actress.

Li Banfeng can think of famous generals.

Famous actresses, Li Banfeng can also think of it.

But the two identities clearly conflict.

How could a famous general become an actor?

The actor laughed and said: You are contrary to what I said. You should ask how an actor became a famous general.

Zhao Xiaowan was originally an actress. She appeared on the stage at the age of seven and became famous at the age of ten. When she was twelve years old, the leader of the class was imprisoned for colluding with the devil. Zhao Xiaowan was implicated and was sent to the army.

When he was seventeen years old, Zhao Xiaowan made military exploits on the border and was exempted from any culpability. He was promoted to the rank of school captain. At the age of twenty-three, due to his accumulated military exploits, he returned to Beijing and was awarded the title of General Qiaoqi.

Li Banfeng was very curious: She was originally an opera singer. She was sent to the army, and at most she was a handyman. How did she become a captain?

The actor's face showed admiration: Because of her extraordinary talent, her colleagues in the army said that Xiao Wan was born to lead troops in war. She once led more than thirty civilians and hundreds of enemy troops for a day. Such a strange woman is unparalleled in the world. Unparalleled.

Have you met her?

I've seen her before! the actor said proudly, I saw her fight and heard her sing in operas. I still remember her vividly when I think of her.

What does she look like?

Beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world! The actor looked very obsessed, I am not the only one who said this. Many people in the court said that she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Li Banfeng has no doubt about this.

My wife is so beautiful!

Just one look at that dignified and beautiful loudspeaker makes Li Banfeng's soul flutter!

The actor sighed: Someone once said that when they arrived at the battle and saw General Xiaoqi, half of the enemy troops were fascinated by her, but they didn't want to fight anymore.

Li Banfeng asked: What about the other half?

According to the description in the novel, the other half was directly intimidated by Zhao Xiaowan's power.

The actor's description is different from the novel: The other half of the enemy army was scared to death by her deputy general Hong Ying.

Hong Ying is Madam’s lieutenant?

What does she look like to scare the enemy like this?

The actor recalled for a moment and said: Beautiful, beautiful! She is a little inferior to Xiaowan, but she is also the most beautiful in the world.

Speaking of which, there was supposed to be a marriage between Hong Ying and I, but later she and Zhao Xiaowan were both imprisoned, and the marriage ended.

Why are they in jail?

You can't say it, the actor suddenly showed fear, shaking his head repeatedly, This is a crime of great disrespect, but you must not say it!

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and stood up: If you don't say so, I won't sell you the record anymore!

PS: Does the grudge between Zhao Xiaowan and Hong Ying have anything to do with this actor?

I don't think it has anything to do with it, and I don't know what other salads think.
