My fairy tale is actually a strange story

Chapter 40 Celebrating in the Camp
  So to say…

Jiang Yuncheng narrowed his eyes.

The world before the time travel also had stories about strange things that were mapped to the other world, and there were some changes, but essentially they were still the ones Jiang Yuncheng knew.

Iron Bone Fish is a clear example. The sound message extracted from the ghost story fragments played by Cai Xun at this time is also the same, which corresponds to the ghost story "The Peony Pavilion".

On the fingernail of the left hand, the four-character tadpole seal "Taiping Supplements" is clearly written. If there were no reflections of gods and monsters in the different world, the legacy of Daobi Shenzhen would not start here.

The sound file was cut into a section by noise, and then came the lyrics of the maid Chunxiang and the Tie Dan actor.

"The idle flowers are as close to the building as if they were the master, and the delicate bird will scold someone if it dislikes the cage."

At this point, the first act of "The Peony Pavilion" ended, and Jiang Yuncheng knew in his heart that this strange story was in trouble.

The lyrics are okay, but the melody is wrong. It continues to be vaguely sad and pathos, and towards the end it becomes a bit sad and angry.

It's only the first scene, and the separation has not yet happened, but the tone has already taken a turn for the worse.

This is not a regular version of "The Peony Pavilion" at all, it's a white opera version!

During the intercourse, people would be invited to perform operas, and the operas they sang were ghost operas, that is, operas related to the theory of ghosts. Jiang Yuncheng had a lot of contact with them when he danced with his uncle.

If the deceased is a woman and is married or has a sweetheart, she will often choose songs related to yin and yang love after death. "Rebirth" and "The Peony Pavilion" are typical examples.

Different from the normal theater version, the rhythm of the Bai Opera version is obviously different and more sad and sorrowful. Not only that, the lyrics and ending of "The Peony Pavilion" will also be changed later.

Many ghost dramas have a good ending, that is, Du Liniang's soul returns to the plum blossom poem, the old Taoist nun digs up the tomb, the body is intact, Du Liniang comes back to life, and reunites with Liu Mengmei.

You can't sing a white opera like this, it will make the dead soul reluctant to leave, thinking about returning to the sun, fearing that something big will go wrong.

"Cai Xun."

"Ok?"

"Is there any similar audio analysis of ghost stories?"

"No more." Cai Xun spit out a pig toe bone, "There are so many outrageous things."

It doesn't matter if there is no follow-up. Jiang Yuncheng knew that the lyrics of the white opera version of "The Peony Pavilion" had changed in the follow-up. Liu Mengmei's song was about Liu Mengmei forgetting her old love and finding a new one after winning the first prize. Du Liniang's life was carefree and she went to reincarnation without any worries, hoping for the next life. Marry into a good family.

This is what the troupe should sing when bidding farewell.

"Where was the fragment of the ghost story corresponding to this audio extracted?"

"What? Do you have an idea?"

Jiang Yuncheng's successive reactions were obviously different from the norm. Many players around him approached with roasted pork ribs and salt-and-pepper pork chops, and the aroma filled the air for a while.

"I vaguely seem to be able to understand it. It's an opera, telling a story about a ghost who has an unresolved love affair."

"Eh?"

There are so many strange and unknown things about Jiang Yuncheng that players are a little bit used to it.

"It's impossible to determine which evil object the strange tale fragments came from." A player explained, "Anyway, the approximate location is at the top of the Moshan Tunnel, in the nearby wilderness where Xu Hong and the others dug holes to go down."

"Hmm...Does the Lucheng dungeon have similar stories about ghost stories?" Jiang Yuncheng emphasized, "Life and death love affairs and the like."

"I haven't heard of it."

Cai Xun and the other players shook their heads.

Among the three major checkpoints in Lucheng, the ghost story of the Moshan Ghost Temple is roughly a large lizard that eats people in the mountains. The venom it releases will cause people to hallucinate, and they will unknowingly walk to the Moshan Tunnel and be swallowed by it;
  The underground black market in Nancheng is full of strange stories related to body mutilation and organ trading;

The last old hospital, the First Hospital, is engaged in research on human anomalies and transformation of evil objects.

There is indeed no romance-related elements,
  wow——

There was noise and hilarity in the distance. It was the attack team from the old No. 1 Hospital that had returned.

Judging from the cheerful expressions on their faces, the conquering process must have been much smoother than expected, and the return time was also earlier than scheduled. "I'm going to see the formation." Cai Xun's eyes were eager, "I'll take you to see the pond on the mountain later."

"okay."

When it comes to the pond associated with the Moshan Ghost Temple level, Jiang Yuncheng actually has some thoughts.

First, in the Lucheng Welfare Institute, the director mentioned that there is a Lingchi Pagoda in Moshan. The second is the Iron Bone Fish, which was in the Moshan Pond after traveling through time. It was swallowed by a large lizard and then got stuck in its throat.

However, Tieguyu has nothing to do with characters such as Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei. Jiang Yuncheng tried to ask, but Tieguyu didn't know any clues related to "The Peony Pavilion".

A large bonfire was raised, and it was rare to be able to eat and drink so unscrupulously within the scope of the dungeon.

Human beings in this world have been persecuted so badly by disasters and evil things. Civilization has been carrying a heavy burden and struggling to survive. At this moment, it feels very proud to have fun on the territory of evil things.

From a distance, Jiang Yuncheng saw that Fang Shuyuan's always solemn expression showed some relief;

Seeing the little swordsman elegantly shaking watermelon juice and pretending to be red wine, which attracted ridicule, he explained angrily while jumping around;

Seeing Cai Xun with the "Domestic Dog" barking happily beside him, he was carefully identifying whether there were any parts of the trophies that needed to be processed in advance;

I saw Xu Hong walking towards this side with a calm face...

Xu Hong...she doesn't have such a distinct aura of peace.

Thinking about it, destroying the old First Hospital meant revenge, and it also meant the complete destruction of her hope that her sister still had a chance of survival.

"Jiang Yuncheng."

"Ok?"

"I heard from Cai Xun that you understood the mysterious audio."

"I don't think I understand."

Jiang Yuncheng expressed vaguely, "I just vaguely know what the story is in my memory. I have to go to the scene to verify it."

"Then." Xu Hong's short, capable hair swayed slightly with her hesitant thoughts, "Is it convenient to go over now and go to the pond?"

Jiang Yuncheng was not used to Xu Hong being so polite suddenly.

Looking around again, I can understand her dilemma.

At present, the camp has moved to the eastern suburbs of Lucheng following the collapse of the fog. Some players in the training cabins outside have also been able to directly transport supplies in. In addition, Fang Shuyuan led the team to explore the good schools in the old hospital of the First Hospital in advance, and the happy atmosphere is like Picnic party.

It was a bit unkind to be called to the Moshan Tunnel to continue the mission at this time.

Jiang Yuncheng could see Xu Hong's mixed feelings after the strategy ended.

The last trace of illusion about his sister's survival was destroyed, and it was just a successful revenge.

"It's okay, let's go to the Moshan Tunnel together."

After receiving a positive reply, Xu Hong nodded gratefully, "You...really look like my sister, innocent and enthusiastic."

"Well...describing me as your sister seems to be the highest level of compliment."

Xu Hong knew something was wrong, so she put an apologetic smile on her face, "Sorry."

"It's okay, I'm not disgusted."

Following Xu Hong out of the camp, Moshan was four to five hundred meters away.

The artificial structures related to the strange stories here were eliminated as the levels were conquered, and even the original tunnels disappeared. The original style of the mountain was gradually revealed, which was very different from before.

There is a space of variable size in the fog. After it dissipates, it will return to a normal state that is compatible with the main world.
