I Have A Dual World Seal
Chapter 883: Movies Screened for Ten Days at Taohua Village
"What is this thing?" Xin Zhanting asked with some curiosity.
"It's Sect Leader Si's magical treasure," Yue Honghai pulled Xin Zhanting over.
"Sect Leader Si?" Xin Zhanting was a bit confused; he wasn't aware of Si Lingxi's matters in Tonglin County.
"It's Old Yue's other mistress, the kind that's very powerful in the Southern Border." Yue Honghai winked at Xin Zhanting.
"Oh oh!" Xin Zhanting understood this time.
In fact, he had never heard of Southern Border Phoenix Mountain Si Lingxi, but since she's Lu Zheng's wife, it must be alright.
Moments later, everyone sat down as if watching a theater performance, facing the projection screen. Various snacks, pastries, and drinks were prepared on the side table.
Ning Zhiqui couldn't help but ask Yi Xiaoqian, "Is Brother Lu preparing to paint on this white cloth?"
Yi Xiaoqian, having seen the replay display on the camera, could roughly guess what it was and hurriedly whispered back, "No, no. It's 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' and 'Liang and Zhu' performed by Fairy Shen, Sister Liu, and the others. You've never seen it before, but you are in luck this time."
"They performed it?" Zhu Yushan overheard and curiously asked, then saw the ladies from Five Beauties Manor taking seats, momentarily puzzled, "Doesn't look like it?"
Old Master Wang didn't ask anything at all, just leisurely sat in his chair, took bites of pastries and sips of hot tea, calmly waiting.
Just then, as everyone was settling down, Shen Ying stood up and waved her hand. In the next moment, a mist of peach blossom pink enveloped the manor, blocking out the sunlight.
Lu Zheng stepped forward to fiddle with the projector, which was fully charged. In the next instant, a scene appeared on the screen in front of everyone, fast transitions showing all scenic shots of 'Liang and Zhu,' the title sequence made by Lu Zheng.
"Wow!"
"Aiyo!"
"What is this?"
If I were to say Great Jing does not have the ability to rewatch magical treasures and 3D projection, Lu Zheng would not believe it. Even Si Lingxi's Phoenix Divine Fire can record scenes and replay them. The Observatory and top powers likely have similar things.
However, such magical treasures and spells are considered quite high-end in Great Jing and not everyone can know and possess them, let alone use them for entertainment.
After several scenes, text appeared on the screen.
First was Liang Shanbo dressed as a scholar, the accompanying text was "Bi Xinyu as Liang Shanbo." Next was Liu Qingyan dressed in a long robe, posing as a man, "Liu Qingyan as Zhu Yingtai."
It's worth noting that for this shoot, Shen Ying didn't just conjure up scenes of the plot but created many wide shots for filming, having not wasted the days watching movies and TV dramas.
Thus, as the key characters flashed by, the screen turned black for two seconds, then brightened again, showing the camera entering a grand mansion. A long shot started from the mansion's grand archway, went through garden paths, reached the back hall, and displayed Shen Ying as Landlord Zhu acting opposite Liu Qingyan as Zhu Yingtai.
This set of projection equipment is not the kind with blurry images and colors seen in street-side communities, but a film-grade projection equipment Lu Zheng spent heavily to purchase, clear images, and vivid colors. Paired with surround sound, its audiovisual enjoyment is no less than modern cinemas.
Therefore, this set of equipment and film-grade performance was thrilling and unprecedented for those watching a movie for the first time.
"Wow!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's Sister Shen and Sister Liu!"
Liu Qingquan was pulling Liu Qingyan, calling back to her, "Sister, sister! It's you, it's you!"
"It's me, it's me," Liu Qingyan laughed, "See if sister's performance is good?"
Liu Qingquan nodded heavily, "Good! Sister, can I invite Ao Qian to our home to watch this film?"
"Of course you can," Liu Qingyan laughed, "After the new year at Tushan, we'll go to the East Sea to play with Ao Qian, and you can invite her to stay at our house for another two months."
This projector, with its unique aesthetics, endorsed by Si Lingxi, might pass unnoticed by the average person, but whether it can fool the Jade Dragon King is uncertain, so Liu Qingyan doesn't plan to take it to East Sea Jade Dragon Palace.
Not that she's afraid, since with Si Lingxi presiding, anyone wishing to scheme must be cautious, but such a secret naturally shouldn't be shown easily.

The movie continued to play, with Lu Zheng selecting a one-and-a-half-hour film version of 'Liang and Zhu.' As the story progressed, appropriately detailed and concise, it trimmed some classmates' anecdotes and other supporting roles, although not covering everything, but the pace was faster, and climaxes were constant, providing a better viewing experience. ππβ―π¦ππ¦π£πππππ.πβ΄π
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Watching these masters with hundreds of years of Dao practice stunned by a movie, shouting and exclaiming, Lin Wan sitting next to Lu Zheng felt an overwhelming sense of achievement.
"It's so much fun!"
"Mostly because it's the first time seeing it," Lu Zheng smiled, "and with Lingxi's reputation holding it up."
Lin Wan nodded repeatedly, then continued watching the movie, though it's not her first time seeing it. This 'Liang and Zhu' is more akin to a theater performance, with the visuals, acting, and music being artistic enjoyment that one can watch several times without tiring.
By noon, 'Liang and Zhu' finished, everyone had lunch, rested for a while, then continued with 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow.'
Compared to 'Liang and Zhu,' a purely love story, 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' incorporates plotting, war, and the Immortal Realm, with grander scenes and more captivating music. A 'Feathered Robe Dance' performed by Hu Cai Niang captured everyone's attention.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
More exclamations followed, the performance effect of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' was a level above 'Liang and Zhu.' Especially the Imperial Palace scenes and war scenes' illusion arrays, personally cast by Si Lingxi. These scenes were ones she had seen firsthand, so they were incredibly realistic.
Especially the large-scale war scenes, seeing Xin Zhanting's blood boil, feeling as if he was back in the Northern Domain battling the numerous tribes of the Northern Three Countries.

After one day of watching two movies, everyone felt unsatisfied, continuing to discuss and savor, praising the set of magical treasures Si Lingxi crafted extensively.
What? This thing doesn't have magical power fluctuations and doesn't look like a magical treasure?
Do you have some misunderstanding about Si Lingxi's identity, status, and Dao practice strength? Do you think she would deceive anyone? If you don't understand, it only shows your strength isn't up to par!
A perfect logical loop, even the Jade Dragon King would say so!
