Chapter 254 Changbanpo

After picking up the dead souls in three courtyards, Li Banfeng opened four doors. Just after walking a few steps in the courtyard, the rumbling of war drums sounded from all directions.

Li Banfeng looked around. In the vast courtyard, various troops appeared one after another, including cavalry, infantry, bows and crossbows, and muskets.

Such a big battle?

Li Banfeng was really a little panicked.

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

Li Banfeng dodged back and forth between the rain of guns and arrows and gently touched the pendulum.

The pendulum understood, went around behind Li Banfeng, cut open Li Banfeng's suit, picked out a record from the interlayer, and used the tip of the pendulum to evenly stroke the texture of the record.

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

The pendulum now played the role of the stylus. This was a tactic that Li Banfeng and his wife came up with together.

Li Banfeng can use his skills in the deep courtyard to imitate the singing of his wife, and he can also use the record player to play his wife's records directly.

But Li Banfeng's singing skills are far behind his wife's, and some enemies cannot be dealt with by his singing skills alone.

But sometimes, it is not convenient for Li Banfeng to take out the record player. In critical moments, using the pendulum as a record player can barely be used.

"The ancient road and the barren mountain are fighting bitterly, the blood of the common people is flying red, the lights shine on the yellow sand and the sky is dark, the dust is lost in the stars and the ghosts cry."

"Changbanpo" Zhao Zilong's singing segment.

This is a martial arts segment, but it was engraved by my wife. It is common for famous actors to cross-dress in the opera industry. This segment also contains my wife's special throat sound.

"Changbanpo" The singing segment is very imposing, and the thousands of troops in the yard seem to be shocked for a while.

Li Banfeng glanced at it. It would be best if he could find Xiao Yeci. If not, he had to retreat immediately and could not fight hard here.

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

"My brother, please stay for a moment. Where did the song just now come from?"

Li Banfeng looked at the actor and took out a record from behind: "It's played 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 trust of the enemy, so that he can perform his skills more smoothly.

He was about to use the pendulum to scratch the record, and suddenly heard the actor shout: "Don't use weapons, don't scratch the record!"

Li Banfeng was startled, and then he said angrily: "What are you yelling about? If there is no record player, you have to play the song like this!"

"I have a record player!" The actor's voice trembled a little, "Let me listen to it again, I will return the person to you!"

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

Xiao Yeci had his hands tied and his mouth blocked, and his face was terrified.

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

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

This record player had not been used for many years, and there was a thick layer of dust on it. The actor wiped it carefully and took an oil bottle to oil the record player.

Everything was done properly, and the actor looked at Li Banfeng expectantly.

Li Banfeng put the record on the tray, and the actor shook the handle carefully, and the lyrics of "Changbanpo" came from the record player.

The text of the play was strong, and the lady's singing was very contagious. Every time he heard this part, Li Banfeng felt his blood boiling.

But the actor opposite did not boil, he cried.

Li Banfeng did not expect that the dead souls would also shed tears, and they cried so hard that they could not make a sound.

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

Li Banfeng waved his hand: "No! This is my magic weapon for killing enemies in battle."

The actor sobbed and said, "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, dealing with ghosts and monsters is a piece of cake."

"If you don't understand, you're using this record to fight, it's a waste of natural resources!" The actor cried even more sadly, as if Li Banfeng had blasphemed something very important.

Before Li Banfeng could speak, the actor sang while crying: "The end of the world will come, but this hatred will last forever. If you don't give it to me, I'll buy it. You name a price, I beg you to name a price..."

The actor cried more and more sadly, and couldn't speak.

Li Banfeng took the record back: "Don't cry yet, let's find a place to talk."

Although they fought for nearly a night, Li Banfeng could see that the actor was still trustworthy.

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

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

The actor just wanted to buy the record, and this matter was not negotiable.

Li Banfeng offered a price, a total of three things.

"The first thing is to let us go."

The actor agreed: "That's easy."

"I'm not talking about letting us leave this house, I'm talking about 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 that this place had a name.

The actor said, "That's easy to say. Wuyouping is well connected. You can go anywhere within the territory of Purozhou."

"You can go anywhere?" Li Banfeng was stunned. "It borders all the territories of Purozhou?"

The actor nodded, "And you don't even need a pass."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and asked, "How come this is the same as Kucai Village?"

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

"You don't want to tell me, right?" Li Banfeng stood up and said, "I won't sell the record anymore."

"Wait a minute!" The actor stopped Li Banfeng and said, "You've actually been right about this. Wuyouping was originally the last three-tenths of the land in Pro Province, but in recent years, it has almost become an unknown place. I can't tell why."

Can the last three-tenths of the land be transformed into an unknown place?

This was the first time Li Banfeng had heard of it.

The actor continued, "Since we are in Wuyouping, I will give you a map later. If you follow the map, you will definitely not get lost, but you must walk faster, otherwise you will get lost in the old land."

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

Li Banfeng proposed a second condition: "Without this record, I have lost a weapon to deal with the dead souls. You have to compensate me with a magic weapon."

The actor looked ashamed: "In the past, I did have a few such magic weapons in my hand. Now the world has changed. I can't take out the magic weapons, 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 horse whip from the wooden box and handed it to Li Banfeng: "The dead soul without cultivation can be beaten to death with a whip. The dead soul with less than three levels of cultivation will be seriously injured by a whip.

The dead soul with less than five levels of cultivation will feel more pain after being whipped. If the opponent's cultivation is above the fifth level, this whip can also be used, but it is just an ordinary weapon."

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

The actor shouted: "What do you want to do?"

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

Li Banfeng used the skill of understanding spiritual sounds to listen to the sound of the whip. The whip was very quiet, without any movement.

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Does this thing have spirituality?"

The actor said, "This is a spiritual object refined by the void. It cannot be refined or recognize its master. Naturally, it cannot be compared with magic weapons, but its spirituality is sufficient."

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

Li Banfeng certainly knew who sang it. The main purpose of asking this question was to test it.

The actor sighed and said, "It's really inconvenient to reveal the mystery..."

Li Banfeng took out the whip: "The record is not for sale."

The actor stopped Li Banfeng and said, "This song is from the cavalry general Zhao Xiaowan, she is a famous general of the Dahuan Dynasty."

"Which dynasty is the Dahuan Dynasty?"

"The previous dynasty."

"How far away is the previous dynasty?"

"I can't remember, I really can't remember."

The actor was telling the truth. He was a ghost, 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, and also a famous actress."

Famous generals, Li Banfeng can think of it.

Famous actresses, Li Banfeng can also think of it.

But these two identities are obviously in conflict.

"How can a famous general become an actor?"

The actor laughed and said, "You said it the other way around. You should ask how an actor became a famous general.

Zhao Xiaowan was originally an actor. She performed on stage at the age of seven and became famous at the age of ten. When she was twelve, the troupe owner was imprisoned for colluding with the devil. Zhao Xiaowan was implicated and was sent to the army.

When she was seventeen, Zhao Xiaowan made military achievements on the border and was exempted from punishment. She was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. At the age of twenty-three, she returned to Beijing to be awarded the title of General of Cavalry because of her accumulated military achievements."

Li Banfeng was very curious: "She was originally an actor. She was sent to the army and was at most a chores. How did she become a lieutenant?"

The actor looked respectful: "Because of her extraordinary talent, her fellow soldiers said that Xiaowan was born to lead troops in battle. She once led more than 30 civilians to fight against hundreds of enemy troops for a day. Such a wonderful woman is unique in the world."

"Have you seen her?"

"Yes!" The actor was quite proud, "I have seen her fight and heard her sing opera. I still remember it vividly."

"What does she look like?"

"Beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world!" The actor looked obsessed, "This is not just what I said. Many people in the court said that she was the most beautiful woman in the world."

Li Banfeng had no doubt about this.

My wife is so beautiful!

Just one look at the dignified and beautiful trumpet made Li Banfeng's soul ripple!

The actor sighed, "Someone said that half of the enemy troops were fascinated by the general when they met him, and 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 frightened by Zhao Xiaowan's power.

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

Hong Ying is my wife's deputy general?

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

The actor recalled for a moment and said, "She is beautiful! She is not as beautiful as Xiaowan, but she is also a beauty in the world.

Speaking of which, there should have been a marriage between Hong Ying and me, but later she and Zhao Xiaowan were both imprisoned, so this marriage ended."

"Why did they go to jail?"

"I can't say it," the actor suddenly showed a sense of fear and shook his head repeatedly, "This is a crime of disrespect, you must not say it!"

Li Banfeng lowered his hat brim and stood up and said: "You won't say it, right? I won't sell you the record!"

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

I don't think it's related. I don't know what other salads think.
