Chapter 806: Water and fire are compatible, the singing never ends

At six o'clock in the morning, the newsboy was shouting with all his might: "Extra! Extra! The eldest daughter of the Lu family escaped death, and the whole family fled the city just to escape a disaster!"

A man gave the newsboy a dollar and bought a newspaper. The newsboy was about to give change, but the man waved his hand: "No need to give change."

"Thank you, sir!" The newsboy happily accepted the banknote; this was the first newspaper he had sold this morning.

The cold wind blew, and the newsboy didn't feel cold at all, shouting even harder. Not long after, he sold another one, and the person who bought the newspaper gave him a fifty-cent coin.

The newsboy put the coin into his pocket, but found that the previous banknote was gone.

Where was the money?

Did he drop it when he reached into his pocket just now?

That couldn't be; after putting the money in, he hadn't reached into his pocket again.

The newsboy sniffed his cold nose and slapped himself; the dollar he had worked so hard to earn was lost just like that.

In fact, he had never earned this dollar at all. The person who bought the newspaper just now was the Illusion Cultivator leader, Hao Hao Lianwu; he was just testing his illusion technique on the newsboy.

Arriving at Round Bamboo Lane and walking into an abandoned Western-style house, Hao Hao Lianwu handed the newspaper to Lu Lu Xiaolan: "The Lu family is leaving Green Water City, departing on a special train this evening."

Lu Lu Xiaolan looked at the newspaper: "Didn't you say the main purpose of dealing with the Lu family was to lure out Li Qi? Now you want to hijack the special train? Could it be you want to wipe them all out?"

Hao Hao Lianwu sat by the fireplace and stretched out his hands to warm them. This fireplace was also made by an illusion; originally, it was just a pile of firewood.

"Li Qi is on that train; he will escort the Lu family out of the city."

Lu Lu Xiaolan picked up the newspaper and read it again: "The newspaper didn't mention Li Qi!"

Hao Hao Lianwu laughed: "Li Qi wouldn't dare expose his whereabouts in the newspaper. Lord Yu said that this person has no real ability, a fox pretending to be a tiger, all relying on Zhao Zhao Xiaowan to back him up. Now the Lu family must have begged him, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and go."

Lu Lu Xiaolan looked at Hao Hao Lianwu in confusion: "How do you know Li Qi is on the train? Could it be that you guessed it?"

Hao Hao Lianwu shook his head: "Of course not guessed. I have already investigated clearly; there is a steam phonograph on the Lu family's special train, exactly the same as the phonograph Zhao Zhao Xiaowan possessed."

Lu Lu Xiaolan thought for a moment and said to Hao Hao Lianwu: "There was originally a steam phonograph on our special train; I remember it was bought many years ago."

Hao Hao Lianwu took out a photo: "This is a handmade phonograph produced by the Outer Amikan country, very rare. Because its structure is special, it can resolve the curses on Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, so it could be possessed by Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

Such a treasure is one in ten thousand. Look carefully; can it be the same as the phonograph on your family's special train?"

Lu Lu Xiaolan looked at the photo for a long time: three speakers, one cabinet; it really looked exactly the same.

But seeing Hao Hao Lianwu so well-prepared, he must have done a lot of investigation beforehand, so Lu Lu Xiaolan couldn't say much more; after all, she didn't know much about Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

Hao Hao Lianwu held the photo and said with a serious expression: "Zhao Zhao Xiaowan is on the train, and Li Qi is definitely on the train. Whether the mission succeeds or fails depends on this one time."

Lu Lu Xiaolan thought for a while and laughed: "If we can kill Li Qi and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan together and bring them both back to Xiao Capital, the reward Lord Yu gives us might be more than just a marquis title."

Hao Hao Lianwu shook his head: "Lord Yu didn't give us any more promises, and we don't need to do anything extra. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was once the most capable general of the imperial court, and also the most hated rebel of the imperial court. This person is not so easy to kill!

I have the confidence to control her for a period of time. During this time, you must kill Li Qi. This depends on my illusion, and also depends on your ability."

Lu Lu Xiaolan recalled the memories of fighting Li Qi in the past. She had never seen Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, but she had never taken advantage of Li Qi.

"My mother once found several experts to deal with Li Qi, but they all died at his hands. Li Qi might not be so easy to deal with."

Hao Hao Lianwu shook his head and sighed: "I really don't want to waste my breath explaining these things to you again. I know about the matter you mentioned. The so-called experts found by Zhuo Zhuo Yuling at that time were all local land-level cultivators, and you didn't see the process of their fight at all.

With Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's strength, dealing with land-level cultivators is naturally easy. This has no necessary connection with Li Qi's own strength. I will explain one last time: our main opponent is Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

Of course, we cannot rule out that Li Qi has invited other helpers. He has dealings with many high-level cultivators in Puluo Continent, so you must ensure a one-hit kill, and I will also create the best opportunity for you to strike."

Lu Lu Xiaolan asked: "The best opportunity you mentioned refers to?"

Hao Hao Lianwu added a piece of firewood to the fireplace: "I will make enough disguises for you."

"Who do you want to disguise me as?"

Hao Hao Lianwu said: "Li Qi is a very suspicious person. According to my investigation, Lu Lu Chunying hasn't had much contact with him in private, and it's hard for others on the train to have a chance to get close to her.

If you want to gain Li Qi's trust, the safest way is to disguise yourself as Zhao Zhao Xiaowan."

Lu Lu Xiaolan was startled: "You want to disguise me as a phonograph?"

Hao Hao Lianwu shook his head: "Not necessarily a phonograph. We don't know Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's true state yet. According to the clues provided by Lord Yu, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan has the ability to absorb wandering souls to restore her body, so I speculate that Zhao Zhao Xiaowan may have restored part of her human form, but she shouldn't be able to stay far away from the phonograph."

Lu Lu Xiaolan said: "What does Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's human form look like?"

Hao Hao Lianwu gave a stack of materials to Lu Lu Xiaolan: "There is no frontal description of her appearance. These are some of her past experiences. Take advantage of this time to look through them roughly so that there are no flaws in your behavior.

Leave the appearance to me. After controlling Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, I will immediately use an illusion to turn you into her appearance. What you need to do is kill Li Qi silently without alarming others."

Lu Lu Xiaolan carefully flipped through the materials and made marks with a fountain pen: "The materials are written very clearly. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan is no longer the famous general of a generation; I estimate that her current combat power is not much stronger than a wounded demon."

"I still think we should bring her back to Xiao Capital together. It's best to capture her alive. Building a career is not an easy thing; this merit that can be picked up for free must not be missed."

Hao Hao Lianwu was still quite cautious: "We'll see what Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's condition is at that time before making a decision!"

Li Li Banfeng boarded the Lu family's special train, and Lu Lu Chunying specially prepared a carriage for Li Li Banfeng.

After the train started, everyone ate hot pot in the dining car. Lu Lu Chunying was uneasy: "Seventh Brother, do you think they will fall for it?"

Li Li Banfeng swished a slice of mutton and calculated the probability: "I think they have a sixty percent chance of falling for it."

Lu Lu Chunying looked at the mutton slice on Li Li Banfeng's chopsticks: "Seventh Brother, is it because this mutton slice is sixty percent cooked?"

Li Li Banfeng ate the mutton and nodded: "This soup base is not bad. Bring a pot to my carriage in a while."

Xiao Yeci drank a sip of soup: "The soup base is indeed not bad. Benefactor, why don't you eat with us?"

Lu Lu Chunying hummed: "Seventh Brother brought his sweetheart on the train, but won't let us see her!"

"So it's a sweetheart!" Xiao Yeci bit the tip of her chopsticks, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, but not daring to reveal it.

Seeing Xiao Yeci's dejected expression, Li Li Banfeng thought she was scared.

"You don't need to worry. If that woman really came to seek revenge on you, she shouldn't miss this special train. As long as she gets on the train, things will be easy to handle.

If that woman doesn't come to seek revenge on you, I will send you to a safe place. Before finding that woman, I guarantee you won't be in any life-threatening danger."

Lu Lu Chunying said: "Seventh Brother, where is the safe place you mentioned?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "At Three-Headed Fork."

Hearing Three-Headed Fork, Lu Lu Chunying was dumbfounded: "What kind of safe place is that?"

Xiao Yeci said: "Three-Headed Fork is very safe. Brother Qiu is there, and there are many experts there too!"

"

Lu Lu Chunying still dared not believe it; Three-Headed Fork was originally the most dangerous place in Puluo Continent, but now it had actually become the safest place to go.

A train attendant entered the dining car and asked Li Qi directly: "Arriving at Yellow Earth Bridge ahead, do you want to add coal?"

In Puluo Continent, there were train attendants on all trains, and special trains were no exception, otherwise they couldn't pass the boundaries. This train attendant was specially recommended by Ma Wu.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the time; it was just seven o'clock.

Yellow Earth Bridge and Green Water Bay were next to each other. Li Li Banfeng asked: "Adding coal after just one stop, isn't it a bit early?"

The train attendant said: "Adding coal at Yellow Earth Bridge, you are all awake. If you wait until Black Stone Slope to add coal, you will all be asleep."

Li Li Banfeng stared at the train attendant for a long time.

Xiao Yeci asked: "Can't you add coal if we are asleep?"

The train attendant stopped talking and turned to leave the carriage.

Xiao Yeci was a bit embarrassed: "Did I ask something wrong?"

Li Li Banfeng remembered why Ma Wu recommended this train attendant. This train attendant could offer useful suggestions, but he only offered two sentences for one thing, and not a word more.

Just now Li Li Banfeng stared at this train attendant because he wanted to see the words on him. Because the time was not long, Li Li Banfeng only saw a part:

There is a conductor, named Tie Mi Jian. His form is like a green pine bearing snow, his spirit is like cold iron quenching frost.

His lips open like a gate controlling a flood, his words come from his own schemes, after speaking it is like a lock on a golden chest, his voice stops with absolutely no redundancy.

When he encounters a confused person, he must straighten his collar and speak loudly, spitting out two pearls of wisdom, one to enlighten, two to break the confusion.

Asked: "Why not three?"

Answered: "If one sentence is not enough, it is my fault; if two sentences are useless, it is your stupidity!"

"This person is quite individualistic!" Li Li Banfeng hummed, "Just add coal at Black Stone Slope. If we are asleep, can Black Stone Slope be short of coal?"

Lu Lu Chunying didn't know whether she should speak. She felt Li Li Banfeng should be able to understand the train attendant's meaning: "Seventh Brother, the train attendant just now was reminding us that adding coal at Black Stone Slope might cause trouble."

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Aren't we waiting for trouble? I'm full, send a pot to my carriage in a while."

Lu Lu Chunying was really a bit scared: "Seventh Brother, don't rush to leave. Have another drink, and I'll play a tune for you. Move that phonograph in my carriage over!"

Two branch guards moved the phonograph over. Lu Lu Chunying said: "I heard from Fifth Brother that Seventh Brother likes phonographs the most. This is a handmade phonograph from the Outer Amikan country; there is only this one in the whole Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng stared at the phonograph for a long time. This phonograph actually looked exactly the same as his wife back then!

Lu Lu Chunying hurriedly added water, oil, and lit the fire for the phonograph: "Seventh Brother, listen, this steam phonograph is different; it doesn't need to be wound, it can move by itself."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, she can move by herself."

"Seventh Brother, listen, this sound is different from other phonographs."

"Yes, none of them sing as well as she does."

"Seventh Brother, listen for a while longer."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "It is time to listen for a while longer. Send this phonograph to my carriage too."

Lu Lu Chunying was speechless, but since Li Li Banfeng had spoken, she could not refuse.

Moving the phonograph back to the train carriage, Li Li Banfeng used 'Connected Broad Lian Dongfang' to swap out his wife. The couple ate hot pot and listened to the record.

His wife looked at the phonograph with emotion: "My precious husband, there are only two steam phonographs from the Outer Amikan country. I didn't expect this one to also fall into your hands."

Li Li Banfeng picked up the oil can: "Every time I see it, I think of my wife, and I always feel like I can't put it down."

His wife punched Li Li Banfeng, and the two of them oiled and added water to the phonograph together.

"Husband, do you know where the Lu family bought this phonograph?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head; he really didn't know about this.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sighed softly: "To ordinary people, this is just a rare toy, but to me, this is a life-saving treasure."

Li Li Banfeng was surprised: "Did the phonograph save my wife?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan fiddled with the phonograph needle, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "I haven't told you about this matter, husband. When I first met you, it was because I didn't trust you and didn't want to tell you the truth.

By the time I trusted you, I was afraid you would dislike me and didn't dare to tell you the truth."

Li Li Banfeng was unhappy: "From the first day I saw you, I have cherished you. You said buy vegetables, I bought vegetables; you said add oil, I added oil. How can you say I dislike you?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan blushed: "Meeting you is Xiaonu's good fortune. Xiaonu will tell the truth today.

Back then in the Age of Desolation, I used the alias Huang Huang Yuxian and fought a bloody battle with the Iron Bone Seed and the Earth Square Kingdom of the Inner Continent. Before the battle was over, I was killed by the ancestor of the Curse Cultivators."

Ancestor of Curse Cultivators.

Li Li Banfeng had no impression of this person: "Is this person a man or a woman, what is their name?"

"Her name is Hen Hen Wuyou, she is a woman. I was focusing all my attention on the Earth Square Kingdom at the time, never expecting this scoundrel to come and sneak attack."

Li Li Banfeng sorted out his thoughts: "Wife, Hen Hen Wuyou and the Earth Square Kingdom are not on the same side?"

His wife shook her head: "Hen Hen Wuyou and the Earth Square Kingdom had no dealings."

"Then she was sent by the Shang Kingdom?"

His wife still shook her head: "She didn't defect to the Shang Kingdom; she didn't rely on anyone, only herself.

She wanted to take advantage of the exhaustion of both sides to reap some benefits. I have to say, this woman is very scheming. She cast a curse on me and also cast a curse on the main general of the Earth Square Kingdom.

This matter is absurd to say. I was still trying every possible way to deal with Hen Hen Wuyou, but the main general of the Earth Square Kingdom was tortured by her twice,

and surrendered directly. Tens of thousands of Earth Square troops were taken by her just like that. Empty-handed white wolf, taking away the wolf's den—this is simply a strange story."

"And then?" Li Li Banfeng widened his eyes, "You were also cursed, how did you fight her?"

His wife sighed: "I was panicked at the time, but after fighting twice, I discovered that Hen Hen Wuyou didn't know how to lead troops. I gritted my teeth and fought two battles with her while cursed, easily wiping out thirty percent of her troops.

With heavy losses and unstable morale, the Earth Square Kingdom side received the news, learned that the army had fallen into Hen Hen Wuyou's hands, and sent people to crusade again.

Beset by troubles from within and without, Hen Hen Wuyou found a helper, and as a result, even more absurd things happened."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "My precious wife, the helper she found, couldn't be Shan Chengjun, could it?"

?

1

His wife laughed out loud: "Husband guessed right, it was Shan Chengjun. Shan Chengjun can block a thousand troops alone, and leading troops to fight is also not a problem, but he has one bad point: his temperament is a bit like Hen Hen Wuyou's.

He stayed in the army for three days and fell out with Hen Hen Wuyou. The two fought a battle, and Hen Hen Wuyou was beaten half to death by Shan Chengjun and disappeared.

If you don't say this shrew is unreasonable, it's Shan Chengjun who bullied her, but she vented her anger on me. Before leaving, she let herself be injured on top of injuries and completely detonated the curse on me. As a result, I lost my life, and my soul could barely be preserved."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What curse is so powerful? Is there no way to resolve it?"

"What curse Hen Hen Wuyou used, Xiaonu really doesn't know, but the method of resolution was seen by the Illusion Cultivation leader sent by the Peddler.

This Hen Hen Wuyou is truly vicious. The resolution method she set is 'water and fire are compatible, the singing never ends.' I had to find a suitable object to possess to barely preserve my soul.

The Peddler was fighting hard in Baiji County at the time, and the Age of Desolation could not afford to be lost, so he found the Old Train's disciple, Bai Bai Lan Qiao Niang, to save me.

Bai Bai Lan Qiao Niang learned of the situation and made a kettle for Xiaonu, letting Xiaonu possess it.

Xiaonu asked her, how is this kettle called 'water and fire are compatible'?

She said, make a stove under the kettle and burn it every day, then it's water and fire are compatible!"

Li Li Banfeng thought about it and felt it made sense: "But the singing never ends, what should be done?"

Speaking of this, his wife's veins jumped: "That stupid woman added a whistle to the teapot and said that when the water boils, the whistle will sound; that counts as the singing never ends!"

Li Li Banfeng thought about it and nodded: "That's also right—"

"Right what right!" His wife hummed, "That kettle only makes a 'dudu' sound; it doesn't sing any songs. If Xiaonu possessed the kettle, I would have had my soul scattered within two days.

Seeing that Xiaonu couldn't hold on, a Westerner came to the Age of Desolation and sent over a steam phonograph.

This person was a bit strange. He first asked me if this phonograph could be used. I took a look, and it really could be used. Water and fire are compatible, the singing never ends—it all matched, so I accepted the phonograph.

I didn't expect this foreigner to be so happy. He ran away on his hands, shouting as he ran, 'I've still got it, I've still got it!'"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "What did he have?"

His wife sighed: "Later I heard from Bai Bai Lan Qiao Niang that this person was called Claude Say, the big leader of the White Falcon Alliance and also the big boss of Seven Stars Mountain. He owed the Peddler a favor and used this phonograph to pay it back.

Bai Bai Lan Qiao Niang said this business was done at a loss, but I felt it wasn't a loss. I relied on this phonograph body to lead troops and drive Shan Chengjun away.

It's a pity that I injured my soul, and my sanity gradually became unclear. I was afraid of harming the army, so I left the Age of Desolation alone.

I have many grudges in Puluo Continent, and I don't dare to reveal my identity usually, so I live by hiding everywhere. The injury to my soul has never healed. If I hadn't met you, husband, perhaps I would have become a demon, or a monster, or perhaps I wouldn't be in this world anymore."

His wife told the past along the way. Li Li Banfeng listened more and more fascinatedly. Unknowingly, they arrived at Black Stone Slope. The train stopped to add coal, and Li Li Banfeng was also ready to go to the platform to buy some snacks.

"Husband, Xiaonu is not hungry," his wife looked at the phonograph, "Xiaonu still wants to listen to a few more songs."

"Wife, wait a moment, I'll go to Lu Lu Chunying's to get the records."

Li Li Banfeng left. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan came to the phonograph, gently touching the speaker mouth, feeling somewhat nostalgic. Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a sound, and the carriage door opened.

His wife was startled: "Husband, so fast?"

Li Li Banfeng came and went without a trace; Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was used to it.

But when she turned her head to look, the person entering the carriage was not Li Li Banfeng, but a circular ring.

At first glance, the ring was very dazzling, and its size was equivalent to a carriage window.

After looking for a moment, the ring's size surged, extending outside the carriage window. The light dimmed rapidly, and wherever it passed, all light disappeared, leaving only darkness.

The blood drained from Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's face, and she stood still like a clay sculpture.

Li Li Banfeng returned to the carriage holding the records and saw Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sitting on the bed, looking at him affectionately.

"Wife, I've brought all the records. Which one do you want to listen to?" Li Li Banfeng placed a stack of records in front of Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan lowered her head and blushed: "I'll listen to whatever you want."

Li Li Banfeng picked one out and pointed to the cover: "Let's listen to this one, what do you think?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan nodded: "I like this one too."

Li Li Banfeng placed the record on the phonograph tray, and the cheerful gongs, drums, and flute sounds rang out:

"Sending you to outside the small village, there is a sentence to entrust, although the hundred flowers are already blooming, the wild flowers on the roadside, you must not pick—"

This was Li Li Banfeng's favorite song. Although Li Li Banfeng was terrified when his wife sang this song for the first time, after singing this song, his wife started talking to Li Li Banfeng.

"Wife, do you still remember this song?"

"I remember, how could I not remember!" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan held Li Li Banfeng's hand, pulled Li Li Banfeng onto the bed, took off Li Li Banfeng's jacket, and also took off Li Li Banfeng's shoes.

Li Li Banfeng's eyes shone as he looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "Wife, are you going to—"

"Yes, I am!" She spoke a bit unclearly; she had a green worm in her mouth that could swallow her malice. This worm was a good thing for dealing with traveling cultivators and was a method her mother taught her.

She gently stroked Li Li Banfeng's cheek, and Li Li Banfeng's eyes became more and more blurred.

Her fingernails extended rapidly, about to slash across Li Li Banfeng's throat.

Li Li Banfeng suddenly disappeared, and "Zhao Zhao Xiaowan" was shocked.

"Where are you going—"

Bang!

"Zhao Zhao Xiaowan" had a crack explode on her chest, and blood gushed out.

What technique was this?

Walking Horse Watching Flowers!

Why did Li Li Banfeng suddenly turn against her?

Did he see through it?

Lu Lu Xiaolan covered her wound, wanting to escape the carriage.

Bang!

Just after leaving the bed, her whole body exploded into a mass of rotten meat and fell to the ground.

The dying Lu Lu Xiaolan looked sideways at the bedside.

Li Li Banfeng put on his shoes and was tying his shoelaces.

"When getting on the bed, you must recognize your wife; when getting off the bed, you must recognize your shoes."

This was the rule Li Li Banfeng set for residential cultivators.

After putting on his shoes, Li Li Banfeng kicked toward the air next to the carriage window.

Bang!

A muffled sound came from the air, and Hao Hao Lianwu clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

He used an illusion to hide his figure, intending to sneak attack, but he couldn't escape Li Li Banfeng's 'Golden Eye Autumn Hair.'

This kick carried 'Stepping Through Ten Thousand Rivers,' and it landed solidly.

Hao Hao Lianwu was seriously injured. Enduring the severe pain, he struggled to get up, twisted his wrist in the air, and locked Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's throat.

The real Zhao Zhao Xiaowan slowly appeared next to the carriage door. Her face was still pale, her eyes were dim, and she had no intention of resisting, about to have her neck twisted by Hao Hao Lianwu at any moment.

Hao Hao Lianwu gritted his teeth: "Li Qi, don't move! If you move, I'll kill her!"

Da da da!

The gongs and drums rang out, and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, with tears in her eyes, sang in a slow beat: "Husband, you must not move! If you move again, this good meat in the pot will become scattered!"

Hao Hao Lianwu was shocked. Wasn't Zhao Zhao Xiaowan controlled by the Great Totem? How could she still sing?

"I want your lives!" Lu Lu Xiaolan took a deep breath and squeezed out a hiss from her throat with all her might.

"Oh husband! She said she wants our lives, this is truly terrifying!" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sang a line, and Lu Lu Xiaolan choked on blood and lost her voice immediately.

Hao Hao Lianwu still wanted to escape, but before he could use his illusion, the wound on his chest split open, and blood flowed incessantly.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sighed and continued to sing: "Husband, Xiaonu's body has already recovered. I didn't intend to do the business of this black shop anymore, but there are always these blind thieves who insist on breaking into our shop!"

"Since they are guests, let's treat them well!" Li Li Banfeng used 'Connected Broad Lian Dongfang' and sent both of them into the 'Personal Residence.' ### CHAPTER 807
