Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 52 Theater Troupe
On the second day of July, Li Kunshan entered Jiangxi Province.

I wrote to Uncle Jiu some time ago, and in the letter I had already agreed that in order to save time, I would not return to Renjia Town, but go to Longhu Mountain on my own when the date came.

At that time, they will meet at the foot of Longhu Mountain.

The ordination ceremony will be held on July 15th, the Ghost Festival, so one can just go to Longhu Mountain early in the morning the day before. Li Kunshan originally thought that it would not be too late to come to Jiangxi in a few days, but he happened to be in Jiangxi while tracking the Zombie Alliance these days.

"Where have you gone?"

From last night till now, they had been chasing him for more than ten hours. As the sky gradually darkened, they happened to pass by a small town and the man immediately went in.

Li Kunshan followed him into the town. The town was quite prosperous and the streets were full of people. For a moment, there was no trace of that man.

Li Kunshan frowned slightly, fearing that he would slip away again.

Half a year ago, Li Kunshan said goodbye to Zhe Gu and started to kill the zombies coming out of Tengteng Town.

They talk about being righteous, but in fact they do it just to gain entries.

Half a year passed, and his hard work paid off. He had basically killed all the zombies in Tengteng Town and obtained a large number of entries.

At the same time, there was no delay in his cultivation. Not only did he advance to the third level of refining essence into qi, but his skills and spells also improved, especially Songxi Tai Chi!

The more advanced the skill, the more experience is required. If Songxi Tai Chi is followed step by step, it will never be possible to improve so quickly.

In the process of killing the zombies in Tengteng Town, Li Kunshan discovered that actual combat can improve experience faster than simple practice!
To deal with zombies, Tai Chi and Big Toad Qi are used more often than thunder magic, so Songxi has already broken through the ninth level.

"Zombie Alliance..."

During this period, Li Kunshan came into contact with people from the Zombie Alliance again.

Since it is an alliance, how can there be only one person?

After several encounters, I gradually got to know this organization.

As previously speculated, this is an evil organization that mainly raises and controls corpses.

But what was unexpected was that although it was not well-known, in fact, this organization was extremely powerful. It not only had a large number of members, but also had a clear hierarchy and division of labor.

As far as Li Kunshan knows, all members of the Zombie Alliance wear Nuo opera masks and use them to divide their classes.

Generally speaking, they can be divided into three categories: righteous gods, evil gods, and secular gods.

The one Li Kunshan killed before was wearing a secular 'Qin Qiong' mask, and in the Zombie Alliance, secular masks belong to the lowest level.

The one that Li Kunshan is chasing now is 'Shancai Tongzi' who wears the mask of a righteous god. Although it is unknown what his main responsibility is, his status is definitely higher than that of the short and fat man before.

However, this man was extremely cunning. Li Kunshan chased him for several days but failed to catch him. When he arrived at this small town, he had completely disappeared.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

Li Kunshan looked up and saw that it was already late. Running around like a headless fly would achieve nothing, so he decided to stay in this small town for the time being.

He had a vague feeling that 'Shancai Tongzi' had not left the town yet.

The other party may not have run here in a panic, but with some purpose.

After all, when Li Kunshan fought with him, he was not completely defeated, but he ran away after a slight contact, as if he had no intention of fighting.

On the other hand, the Ghost Festival is approaching. For Li Kunshan, the ordination is the top priority, and he may not have time to care about the "trivial matters" of the Zombie Alliance.

We might as well stay in this town first. If we find anything, that's another matter. If we don't find anything, we can just head straight to Longhu Mountain.

“There are opera singers.”

Walking down the street, I saw a stage in front of me.

Li Kunshan smiled. It seemed that life in this small town was not bad.

In this era, without television or mobile phones, listening to opera was almost the only entertainment besides eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

It has been several years since I came here, and I have gradually integrated into this era. I didn't take it seriously at first, but gradually I began to like listening to opera.

"Good luck."

When I got closer, I saw the play and time written on the notice board at the entrance of the theater.

The show starts at 8pm and has more than two hours left. The play is "The Raid on the Lion Tower", which is about Wu Song fighting and killing Ximen Qing. Both the singing and the fighting are very good.

Li Kunshan nodded. If it was just a simple literary drama, he would not be very interested.

Continuing forward, he walked around the town, but found no trace of the Zombie Alliance. Li Kunshan simply gave up looking and booked a room at the inn. When the time was almost up, he went to the theater to listen to the opera.

It only costs one hundred coins for one performance, which is much cheaper than the pink play. Li Kunshan smiled secretly again. After singing the Lion Tower, he didn't know if there would be any pink play.

I paid for the ticket and entered the theater, which was quite spacious.

The stage had been set up long ago, and there were several octagonal tables placed near the stage with tea and snacks on them. These were VIP seats, and not only were the tickets more expensive, but they also needed to be booked in advance.

Li Kunshan was not short of money, but he felt it was unnecessary, so he found a good seat on the long bench at the back.

As the time approached, audiences came in one after another and the seats were soon full.

After all, there is no theater in this town, and you may not be able to see two plays in a year or two.

There were vendors walking back and forth, selling cigarettes, melon seeds, and other snacks. Li Kunshan spent a few more cents and bought a bag of melon seeds.

Boom~!

The event will start at 8pm sharp.

Bang bang bang bang~dong dong dong~
As the gongs and drums sounded rapidly, 'Xi Men Qing' was the first to come on stage.

Although the story is centered on Wu Song, Ximen Qing has more singing parts and is the main character in this play.

In comparison, Wu Song is a martial artist who contributes more action scenes.

"good."

In Renjia Town, he would go to watch operas with Uncle Jiu, Wencai and others from time to time. Although he was not yet an expert at it, he could at least tell the good from the bad and knew where to applaud.

This Ximen Qing is not very old, but his manners and singing skills are pretty good.

Li Kunshan nodded again. It was really great to see such a star in such a small town.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Song came on stage and the fighting scene began.

Li Kunshan cheered along with the audience, saying that Wu Song's fighting scenes were also quite good, and he had put in a lot of effort off the stage.

I didn't notice it before, but this troupe seems to be called the Lin Family Troupe. Although I have never heard of it, it is indeed a good troupe.

"Ok?"

The whole show was good, but when it came to the end, something unexpected happened on stage.

This Wu Song is a bit of a show-stealer.

Not only did he not chop off Ximen Qing when he should have, he also made an appearance, then did three somersaults in the air on the stage and landed steadily, which drew cheers from the audience.

"wrong."

Li Kunshan had a melon seed shell in his mouth, and his somersaults did not look very natural.

Then he took out two grapefruit leaves from his pocket and rubbed them on his eyes.

Looking at the stage again at this time, there was actually one more person.

"really."

Li Kunshan smiled, and his guess was correct.

To be precise, it’s not a human, it’s a ghost!
This little kid came from nowhere and started making trouble on the stage.

"never mind."

If Li Kunshan took action, he could kill this little ghost with one move.

But it was just an ordinary wandering ghost, though a bit mischievous, but it didn't do any evil, and wasn't an evil ghost. Most importantly, its cultivation level was too low, contributing only a white entry at best.

With so many people present, it's really not worth it for Li Kunshan to make a fuss.

"Ahem~!"

Li Kunshan coughed deliberately and looked sternly at the kid who was having fun on the stage.

"Ouch~!"

When the little ghost saw that Li Kunshan could actually see him, he was immediately startled and disappeared the next moment.
