Chapter 252: Prince Chun's Mansion

Li Banfeng entered the abandoned mansion and scouted around.

What a large mansion!

Seven courtyards from north to south, five layers from east to west, courtyards of various sizes, layered on top of each other.

Walking back and forth twice, Li Banfeng didn't perceive any danger, nor did he see half a person's shadow. He returned to the gate of the mansion and greeted everyone to come in.

Everyone, including Xiao Yeci, had never seen such a large mansion. After entering the first courtyard, everyone looked around curiously, and someone walked toward the hanging flower gate.

Behind the hanging flower gate was the second courtyard. Li Banfeng blocked the door and ordered everyone: "Find a place to avoid the rain immediately. You can only stay in the first courtyard. Tomorrow when the rain stops, we will set off and leave this place immediately."

Compared with other courtyards, the first courtyard was not large, but it had the most rooms.

The rooms here were called gatehouses because they were all on the shady side, also called inverted seats. From east to west, there were more than thirty rooms in total, where servants lived.

Xiao Yeci was very satisfied: "There are many rooms here, it's enough for us to have one each!"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "You can't have one each, at least three people per room. The living quarters must be close to each other so we can look after each other if something happens. I'm going to scout the path around, you must be careful."

Saying he was scouting the path, Li Banfeng went back to the Leaving Suishenju again.

"Wife, I should have walked out of Jianren Ridge, but I encountered an abandoned mansion in the wilderness."

After hearing Li Banfeng's description of the abandoned mansion, his wife sang slowly: "Seven courtyards and five layers, it should be a prince's mansion. It has been abandoned for a long time and no one has taken care of it. Husband, could it be that you have arrived in the Old Land?"

Arrived in the Old Land?

Is this possible?

It really is.

According to the experience of going to Fool's City, the condition for entering the Old Land is to walk a special route at a specific speed.

Days of trekking, plus heavy rain, this group of people walked very slowly today.

Slow is also a specific speed.

And Xiao Yeci and Lu Chunying both felt they hadn't walked the wrong way. Suddenly having an abandoned mansion on the way to Green Water Bay was very similar to when Li Banfeng entered the Old Land without knowing it.

Li Banfeng nodded: "I'm also worried that I've arrived in the Old Land. There were day and night changes before, but it was already late at night when I walked to this mansion. It's hard to say what territory this is."

"The Old Land is more dangerous than the New Land. Husband, don't go out easily tonight."

Li Banfeng pondered for a long time and said: "I have walked the Old Land, at least I know more than that group of people. I brought them out of Jianren Ridge. If I don't help them get through this hurdle, wouldn't that be equivalent to harming them?"

The phonograph sang: "Husband is right. Our mansion has always been gentle to Husband. It's fine for Husband to go out and look after them for a night,

but Husband must be careful. If it's absolutely necessary, you must go home immediately. You must not act on impulse."

Li Banfeng agreed, took his magic treasure, and left the Leaving Suishenju.

Xiang Xiang Hongying whispered: "There is actually a prince's mansion left in this world?"

The phonograph sneered: "Slut, do you want to be a prince's wife again? Did you sell me out for this matter?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying was silent for a long while: "Evil woman, I don't want to mention things I don't want to talk about. Don't force me. You must keep your word."

Late at night, in a small room, wet clothes were being roasted on a fire, and Xiao Yeci fell asleep by the bed.

The bed couldn't be slept on; the wooden boards were rotten. There were originally bedding on the bed, but when pulled by hand, it directly shattered into smoke and dust.

Fortunately, the room didn't leak water. After trekking in the heavy rain for a whole day, Xiao Yeci was already very satisfied to have a dry place to sleep.

But after sleeping for less than two hours, Xiao Yeci was pushed awake by Lu Chunying: "Mom, accompany me to the latrine."

Xiao Yeci didn't even open her eyes: "There's a bucket in the room, just make do."

If it were just the mother and daughter in the room, Lu Chunying would have made do. Li Banfeng said that at least three people per room, and there was a little girl sleeping in the room.

Although she came from a poor background, Lu Chunying had received a good education following Xiao Yeci. When there were outsiders, she was inevitably reserved, so she had to bite the bullet and leave the room.

The rain was still heavy, and she didn't know where the latrine was. While searching around, a thunderclap sounded, scaring Lu Chunying into a shiver.

It wasn't the thunder that scared her, but the lightning.

In the light of the lightning, Lu Chunying seemed to see a human figure in the courtyard.

"Who?" she asked, emboldened.

No one answered in the courtyard, and no one was seen walking in the darkness.

Did I see wrong?

The technique of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster didn't make Lu Chunying perceive danger, but she felt she couldn't stay in the courtyard for long.

Unable to find the latrine, Lu Chunying relieved herself in the corner of the wall.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

When relieving herself, she seemed to hear someone smacking their lips.

Must have heard wrong, it must be the sound of rain.

Lu Chunying pulled up her pants and ran back to the room like flying. After running two steps, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

"Hum hum hum..."

Lu Chunying looked around, didn't dare to stay long, and continued to run back. When she reached the door, she pushed open the door and was about to enter, but found that Xiao Yeci and the little girl who slept with them were not in the room.

Where did they go?

A woman in green was sitting in the room, combing her makeup in front of a bronze mirror. She turned her back to Lu Chunying and sang: "Hey sister, you are a daughter, yet you urinate in someone else's courtyard. Are you really not ashamed?"

Lu Chunying trembled all over and retreated repeatedly.

She didn't know where this woman came from, and in the pitch black, she didn't know what this woman looked like.

*Crack! *

Another thunderclap!

From the mirror, Lu Chunying saw the woman's appearance clearly.

If she hadn't just relieved herself, Lu Chunying would have definitely peed in her pants.

This woman's complexion was pure white, whiter than snow.

Her eyebrows were pitch black, and the corners of her eyes were bright red. This was a painted face.

An actor?

Lu Chunying didn't think much, retreated two steps, and quickly left this room.

She had just reached the courtyard when the woman in green chased out.

Lu Chunying circled to the left, the woman blocked the left side; she circled to the right, walked a few steps, and the woman was still in front of her.

The other party's steps were faster than hers!

Lu Chunying didn't panic and shouted loudly in the courtyard: "Benefactor, Mom, bad people have entered the courtyard!"

She shouted for a long time, but no one responded.

Because the people in the room couldn't hear her voice at all.

The woman in green shook her water sleeves and came to the front, singing word by word: "As a woman, I must lecture you:

First, you don't know shame; second, you don't understand the rules. You dirtied my courtyard. Today, just pay with your life here as a punishment."

Lu Chunying trembled and said: "Is it worth paying with my life for a pee?"

"Hum hum~ girl, once you reach my territory, you must follow my rules! If you don't pay with your life, what else can you pay with?"

*Splash! *

As the words fell, three silver dollars were thrown at the feet of the woman in green.

"Compensate you with some money," Li Banfeng sang as he walked, "This silver ingot, three taels three, given to the sister-in-law for maintenance, buy silk, make clothes, buy jewelry, set hairpins, I will live with you as a young couple for a few years!"

The woman in green was stunned, looked at the silver dollars on the ground, as if she had suffered a great humiliation, and sang to Li Banfeng: "This silver ingot the slave doesn't want, give it to your mother as family money, buy a treasure house, make clothes, buy white paper, paste white banners, and leave a filial son's name to be passed down in the world!"

Peking Opera, "Wujiapo".

Li Banfeng had learned a lot of singing from his wife during this time, and he just happened to match these two lines with this woman in green.

No one else could hear the sound. How did Li Banfeng know there was movement in the courtyard?

This is the gap brought by cultivation. Li Banfeng was a fifth-layer traveling cultivator. He perceived danger in the room, and as soon as he went out, he saw Lu Chunying walking toward the opposite side of the room.

She was blinded by a ghost; she didn't push open the room door, but the hanging flower gate leading to the second courtyard.

Once she entered the second courtyard, no matter how she shouted, no one outside could hear.

Thanks to Li Banfeng following her in.

He looked at Lu Chunying, and without needing to say much, Lu Chunying understood immediately and hid in the corner.

The sound of gongs and drums rang out in the second courtyard. The actor was about to sing again. Li Banfeng stepped forward suddenly and kicked the actor.

The actor was furious: "Why are you hitting people?"

Li Banfeng said: "That was a civil play just now, now it's time for a martial play."

The actor shouted angrily: "Are you really going to fight in a martial play?"

Li Banfeng laughed: "You say that, but didn't you just ask that girl to pay with her life? Weren't you really going to move your hands to kill?"

"Fine, then let's show our skills and compare our foundations!" The actor pulled out a flower spear from somewhere and stabbed at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng could choose to dodge, could use his sickle to parry, or could rely on his fast steps to counterattack at close range.

But no matter how he chose, he would be the one to suffer in the end.

Because he had used the Golden Eye Autumn Hair to look, the actor in front of him had green light flickering on his body; he wasn't a human at all.

For ghosts that have achieved such a climate, they can switch between virtual and real at will. Li Banfeng would suffer no matter how he fought.

Then don't fight. Li Banfeng hung his voice and shouted at the actor: "Wow ya ya ya, evil obstacle, die!"

This shout made the actor's whole body numb and soft, and his soul almost scattered.

This was still the technique of the Deep Mansion and Large Courtyard, a singing method of the copper-hammer flower face that Li Banfeng learned from his wife, which had a means to deter ghosts in the singing.

Taking advantage of the actor's weakness, the blood-containing pendulum rushed up. She could hurt ghosts and opened a cut on the actor first.

The actor was furious, shook off the pendulum, and rushed toward Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng retreated all the way and circled behind the rockery.

The actor knew the way, passed through the rockery, and caught up with Li Banfeng.

And at this moment, Li Banfeng had already used the key to open the Leaving Suishenju.

Seeing Li Banfeng standing still, the actor shouted angrily: "You don't run or hide, are you just waiting to die?"

Li Banfeng laughed: "You don't have the heart to do it, could it be that you have taken a fancy to me?"

As long as the actor rushed over, Li Banfeng had the confidence to send her into the Leaving Suishenju.

The actor shook the flower spear and revealed his original voice: "Hum hum, you are a man, what could I take a fancy to you for?"

Uh...

This voice suddenly became so rough.

Is this actor a man?

The door of the Leaving Suishenju was open, and Xiang Xiang Hongying lowered her voice: "Listen, was that Prince Chun's voice just now?"

The phonograph sneered: "Slut, do you really still want to be a princess?"

"I don't remember wrong," Xiang Xiang Hongying's body trembled uncontrollably, "It's him."

PS: Xiang Xiang Hongying almost became a princess back then.
