Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 53 Playing for Ghosts
"It seems I'm overthinking it."

After staying in the town for two days, I found no trace of the Zombie Alliance. The "Good Fortune Boy" should have escaped long ago.

Li Kunshan shook his head, thinking that he had wasted two days by being too clever.

In this case, Li Kunshan plans to leave tomorrow and go somewhere else, or go to Longhu Mountain in advance to wait for Uncle Jiu and the others.

Jingle bell bell~!

At night, I was sitting on the bed refining my essence into energy when I suddenly heard a slight ringing sound outside the window.

Li Kunshan opened his eyes instantly and quickly got out of bed.

The inn room was on the second floor. I gently opened the window a crack and looked sideways.

On the dark street, seven or eight people lined up in a row, led by one person, and skipped past below.

Li Kunshan frowned slightly, and after a moment he jumped out of the window and followed quietly.

The men walked along the main street, straight out of the town, and then headed west. After about an hour, they entered a woods.

"I'm exhausted."

"It's really tiring to jump all this way."

"Take a break before continuing on your journey."

"There's no other way. The world is not peaceful right now. This is a bit hard, but it's safe."

Deep in the woods, those people sat on the ground leaning against the tree trunks, temporarily removing the things tied to their bodies, and complained while resting.

"I said so."

Behind a big tree, Li Kunshan smiled slightly and turned to leave.

This isn't a zombie alliance, nor is it a corpse chaser. These zombies are actually living people in disguise. No wonder they don't have any corpse energy. Speaking of which, the Taoist priest ringing the bell up front is quite interesting; perhaps he knows a thing or two.

It seems that they are transporting something somewhere. The world is not peaceful now, and they are worried about encountering soldiers and bandits along the way, so they dress like this to hide their tracks.

I have to say, it’s indeed a good idea.

However, if you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts.

However, this had nothing to do with Li Kunshan, so he did not show up, let alone get involved.

"Ok?"

On the way back to the inn, I passed by the stage where I had performed the opera two days before and suddenly heard a noise inside.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but stop. It was almost two or three in the morning, and the streets were deserted. How could anyone listen to the opera? If there was no opera, how could there be any sound?

Out of curiosity, Li Kunshan quietly looked inside.

The entire stage was dark, and a few figures could be vaguely seen on the stage.

Li Kunshan thought about it and slipped in.

I quietly moved forward along the dim edge of the stage. When I was still about ten meters away from the stage, I finally saw it clearly.

There is indeed someone.

Is there anyone still singing at this time?
There are five people on the stage, wearing costumes, painted faces, and using props such as tables, which is indeed the style of opera performances.

But at this hour, who should I perform for?

"Bao Gong Opera?"

Sitting in the middle was an old actor with a black face mask and a beard, playing the role of Bao Zheng and Bao Longtu.

There are many plays about Bao Gong, and Li Kunshan couldn't help but wonder which one this was.

"Immonopolist, solve all the evil cases among the people! Justice has eyes, settle the injustices of ghosts and gods!"

First, there are two opening lines, Bao Gong looks around, and then shouts loudly.

"I am here! Whether you are a human or a ghost, come and complain!"

After finishing reading, he looked nervously at the audience below the stage.

But the entire stage was empty and deserted, and there was no response for a long time.

How come no one responded?

Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile. Could it be that this was just a show for ghosts?

"what?"

Li Kunshan was just complaining casually, but he was stunned and couldn't tell for sure.

"Wang Chao Mahan!"

Bao Gong on the stage was solemn and dignified, and shouted loudly.

Two martial artists nearby stepped forward, but their hands and feet kept shaking, and it was obvious that they were extremely frightened.

Bao Gong whispered a few words to them, and they calmed down a little.

He walked to the edge of the stage and shouted loudly to the people below.

"Mr. Bao is here! Whether you are a human or a ghost, come and complain!" But at this time, there was still dead silence under the gloomy stage.

No one, human or ghost, appeared.

Pa~!

Bao Gong showed anger, slammed the gavel and shouted sternly.

"Outrageous! Born human, then dead as a ghost. This is the law of nature! Now a ghost, instead of complaining about your grievances, you come to the living world to wreak havoc. This is intolerable! The emperor has bestowed upon me the Imperial Sword, which can not only slay the wicked men and women of the living world, but also the demons and monsters of the underworld! Come!"

"exist!"

"The Imperial Sword awaits you!"

"Here is the Imperial Sword, come quickly, little devil!"

Wang Chao stepped forward and showed the "Imperial Sword" in his hand.

Then, everyone looked down nervously again.

At this time, the martial artists who played the four yamen runners were trembling all over.

However, Bao Gong in the middle remained calm.

Huh~!

The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and suddenly, a wisp of green smoke emerged from the middle of the stage.

"I'm here, kowtow to Master Bao!"

I can only hear voices but can't see people.

Everyone was frightened and stretched their necks.

Bao Gong frowned and shouted softly.

"Since you are here, why don't you show yourself to me?"

"Thank you, Mr. Bao!"

The next moment, a little ghost appeared in front of everyone.

The four martial artists were already extremely nervous. Among them, Ma Han fainted from fright on the spot. Fortunately, Wang Chao next to him was brave enough to help him up in time, so he was not exposed.

"What grievances do you have? Tell me quickly."

Bao Gong took a look and scolded in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Lord, I am from Chaozhou..."

Then, the little ghost began to tell Bao Gong about his grievances.

"Ah."

In the corner, Li Kunshan couldn't help but laugh. It was really a show for ghosts.

Looking closely, isn’t this the little devil who was making trouble on the stage when he sang “Rioting in the Lion Tower” that day?

These opera singers are so boring, pretending to be Bao Gong and judging ghosts in the middle of the night.

"and many more……"

As he was laughing, Li Kunshan was suddenly startled. Why did this scene look so familiar?

After thinking for a moment, I suddenly remembered that this was the plot of the movie "People Scare Ghosts"!
Sure enough, what the little ghost said next was exactly the plot of the movie he remembered.

Li Kunshan looked around again and suddenly realized something.

It turns out that I accidentally caught up with the plot of a movie.

Then, I couldn't help but recall the specific details.

As an early fantasy film, besides zombies, there are ghosts. This movie has two ghosts. In addition to this naughty little ghost, there is also a ferocious old ghost.

That evil ghost is the final boss of the movie.

From Li Kunshan's current perspective, the old ghost's skills were not very profound.

However, if you kill it, one or two blue items should appear.

While he was thinking, the Chaozhou ghost had already explained his life story and request clearly. He simply asked the troupe to help collect his bones buried under the stage and choose another place to bury him so that he could be reincarnated as a human being.

"But there are two people under the stage..."

"What the hell!"

Just like the plot of the movie, before it was made clear that there were two skeletons, the little ghost was frightened by a shout from backstage and immediately dodged.

Then, a young man walked in.

"You guys are outrageous. You didn't even tell me you didn't start the event today..."

The play was over and there was nothing to watch next, so Li Kunshan turned around and left quietly.
