Lord of Puro

Chapter 518: Out of state is so much fun
In the Fool's City, Sun Tiecheng held the teapot, drank a sip of tea directly from the spout, and sang a little song: "In the green willows to the west of Moxiangdian City, there is a beautiful woman named Bai Junying, who is good at painting. This beauty is in the winter of nineteen, and her husband is studying hard in the south, and now it is mid-April..."

The song was called "Painted Fan". Before Sun Tiecheng finished singing, the Smiling Ghost King Gui Jianchou came and said, "City Lord, I have already found out. A large snail appeared over at the soda kiln. More than 50 people from other states were strung together. Only the bones were taken, leaving no blood or flesh. They were scrubbed clean and hung in front of the door."

Sun Tiecheng took another sip of tea and asked, "Who are those fifty or so people from other states?"

"They are all people of high status, and their status is comparable to that of the Customs Defense Office. This time, the other states will definitely start a war, and it will be a dog-eat-dog war. I wonder how many people will be killed!"

Sun Tiecheng laughed and said, "Let's see how much blood will be shed this time."

Ye Jianhuang said, "City Lord, is it against the will of heaven and earth for us to do this?"

Sun Tiecheng glanced at Ye Jianhuang and said, "What you did in Fool's City back then, weren't they against the will of heaven and earth?"

Ye Jianhuang lowered his head and said, "I have changed. Over the years, I have been regretting what I did. I have decided to turn over a new leaf. This is called putting down the butcher knife and turning back."

Sun Tiecheng said angrily, "You have done so many bad things in Fool's City, and now you are telling me to put down your butcher knife? Besides, that's not how you mean to put down your butcher knife! The original words were 'put down your butcher knife', honestly!"

Ye Jianhuang said: "Let's not say the original words, let's just say this."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. You have never been to school, but you pretend to be a scholar!" Sun Tiecheng was very angry and said to Gui Jianchou, "Ghost, use the family law!"

Gui Jianchou took out a stick and asked, "City Lord, where do you want to hit?"

City Lord Sun waved his hand and said, "Beat the eggs!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jianhuang started to run, but Sun Tiecheng shouted angrily, "You can't run! You can't run!"

Ye Jianhuang maintained the running posture, but he really couldn't run anymore.

Gui Jianchou came over with a stick in his hand. Ye Jianhuang shouted repeatedly, "Old ghost, we are friends, we are family, you can't do this to me, we will have to..."

Bang!
Gui Jianchou hit him from bottom to top with a stick.

Ye Jianhuang twitched for a while, then he put his legs together and squatted on the ground.

Sun Tiecheng was very satisfied: "Look, isn't this just putting down the butcher knife and being honest?"

Ye Jianhuang lowered his head, holding back tears, and sobbed for a long time.

Sun Tiecheng assigned him a task: "Tell the local gods in each area not to meddle in other people's business!"

……

Li Banfeng put on a simple and clean sportswear, shaved his beard, tried to make himself look younger, and returned to Yuezhou University.

Yuezhou has changed a lot in the past two years, but Yuezhou University seems to have not changed much.

Just before the start of school, the campus was very lively. When I walked to the east gate of the school, two students came up to sell phone cards. Li Banfeng had also done this business before. Hearing them calling him "handsome boy" all the time, which sounded quite pleasant, Li Banfeng really bought one.

In the back there were people selling basins, mosquito nets, thermoses, quick-heating devices, and rechargeable desk lamps, all of whom were soliciting business from Li Banfeng.

"You have the nerve to sell this rechargeable lamp for 15 yuan? Do you think I'm new here?" Li Banfeng was very dissatisfied with the price.

The man selling the lamp was a junior in college. He looked Li Banfeng up and down with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Li Banfeng did move towards the immature side, but they shouldn’t treat me as a freshman!

But when I think about it carefully, I did make the mistakes that only freshmen would make, such as buying a phone card as soon as I entered the campus.

For example, this outfit.

Sophomore boys pay attention to their appearance and wear some branded items.

Junior boys pay attention to their individuality and have a bit of literary and artistic air.

Senior boys pay attention to their state of mind. In this kind of weather, a simple outfit of a basketball vest, a pair of shorts, and a pair of slippers can reflect the demeanor of an elder.

Li Banfeng was wearing a simple and clean sportswear, and at first glance he looked like a greenhorn.

It was not good to go to see Teacher Song empty-handed, so Li Banfeng bought a washbasin, a mosquito net, and a pair of slippers, and found Teacher Song in the office building of the School of Science.

University teachers don’t work in the office, so it’s not easy to find Teacher Song by chance.

Teacher Song is a mathematics teacher. Li Banfeng had no intention of asking a mathematics teacher for knowledge related to dark matter. He only hoped that Teacher Song could help him recommend an expert in the field of dark matter.

But what was unexpected was that Teacher Song had in-depth research on dark matter. She had many scientific research results and had won international awards.

Li Banfeng did not reveal his identity. He only said that he was a diligent and motivated student.

Teacher Song enthusiastically explained to Li Banfeng the latest results of dark matter research. She did not elaborate on the complicated derivations and calculations, but told Li Banfeng the research results in a more direct way.

"Dark matter basically does not interact with electromagnetics, nor does it participate in strong interactions. This was once an iron rule in the field of dark matter research.
But this iron law is likely to be broken. Dark matter hardly interacts with photons, causing it to emit almost no light. However, some disordered changes still exist, but these changes interfere with each other, resulting in nearly unobservable...”

Teacher Song earnestly talked about her research results for more than three hours.

Li Banfeng filled two full notebooks. At the end, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it into the teacher's hand.

"What are you doing?" Teacher Song frowned slightly, her eyes slightly annoyed. She was angry.

Li Banfeng bowed deeply to the teacher: "Thank you, teacher."

Teacher Song handed the banknotes to Li Banfeng and asked, "Which class are you from?"

"I'm from Class 7." Li Banfeng said casually and turned away.

He really wanted to tell Teacher Song that he was Li Banfeng.

But doing so will cause a lot of trouble for Teacher Song.

Teacher Song shouted, "At least leave me your contact information!"

Leave contact information?
Did she recognize me?
Anyone who can recognize Li Banfeng is not an ordinary person.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and left a phone number for Teacher Song.
This is not the phone number of the Dark Star Bureau, this is the phone card that Li Banfeng bought at the school gate.

Teacher Song looked at the number and called directly: "Don't lie to me, let me see if I can get through!"

"Wait a moment." Li Banfeng inserted the phone card into his newly bought mobile phone and the call was connected.

Teacher Song smiled, her dimples were still as beautiful as ever.

Li Banfeng bowed again and left the campus silently.

As soon as he returned to his residence, the projector quickly informed Li Banfeng: "The Dark Star Bureau called and said they have an urgent mission for you."

The call was from Shen Jingye. Li Banfeng called back. Shen Jingye was really anxious: "Today is a working day. It's okay if you are not at work, but why didn't you answer the phone?"

"Xiao Shen, watch your attitude."

After being reminded by Li Banfeng, Shen Jingye's tone softened a lot: "Director Li, the situation is like this. We have established a certain degree of connection with Neizhou. On the basis of mutual benefit, we want to further deepen cooperation with Neizhou, so we need balancers to play an active role in it..."

Li Banfeng didn't say anything, but Shen Jingye felt a chill from the receiver.

This was Li Banfeng reminding Shen Jingye to get to the point as soon as possible.

"In short, we hope that you can go to the soda kiln as soon as possible and strive to lay a good foundation for the next negotiation."

Li Banfeng asked: "What exactly do you want to discuss with Neizhou?"

"The specific content of the negotiations has not yet been determined. The main purpose of this negotiation is to demonstrate our sincerity and expectations for mutual benefit and win-win results..."

Shen Jingye knew that Li Banfeng didn't like to hear such nonsense, but he could only continue to say so, because the soda kiln incident was currently kept strictly confidential, and even someone at Shen Jingye's level didn't know the exact news.

Shen Jingye bought Li Qi a train ticket for tonight, hoping that he would leave for the soda kiln immediately.

Li Banfeng flatly refused: "There is no substantive news at all. What am I going to do? Am I going to make a fool of myself or take the blame?"

Shen Jingye was very embarrassed. In the afternoon, he went to Li Banfeng's office again to discuss the departure time.

Li Banfeng was reading relevant information about dark matter, and Shen Jingye was chattering on and on beside him. After talking for a long time, Li Banfeng didn't even raise his head.

"Director Li, you have to give me a straight answer on when we are leaving."

Li Banfeng finally looked up and looked at Shen Jingye: "Wait until you have investigated the matter thoroughly before we talk about departure."

Shen Jingye said helplessly: "This matter involves confidentiality. This is all I know at the moment."

Li Banfeng said earnestly: "Because there is too little useful information now, we have to ask you to investigate. The purpose of the investigation is to let you find the information, rather than letting the information come to you. This is the task assigned to you by the bureau. You have to improve your understanding in your thoughts..."

Shen Jingye took out a small notebook and wrote down every word very carefully.

But no matter how carefully he remembered, it was useless. It was difficult to find out the cause and effect of the incident by relying on Shen Jingye. Li Banfeng contacted Ma Wu and asked about the situation of the soda kiln.

Xu Shouming blocked the news, and Ma Wu had never heard of any problems at the soda kiln, but he could tell that this matter was not simple.

"Seventh Brother, don't rush back. Once you come back, you'll be completely involved. I'll go to the soda kiln and take a look first."

Ma Wu went to the soda kiln, and Li Banfeng stayed there. No matter how Shen Jingye urged him, he refused to leave.

……

Cui Tike found out the operator of Tulip Fragrance Newspaper. It was easy to find out. The core members of Tulip Fragrance Newspaper all called Boss Ye "Seventh Master".

Based on this, Green Water Beggar confirmed one thing: although Li Qiming seemed to have a grudge against He Jiaqing, in fact, the two of them were secretly taking care of and protecting each other.

He even made a bold guess that the saint and the jade seal were in Li Qi's hands.

"Li Qi is a balancer and is in another state," Green Water Beggar took out half a cake from his begging bowl and chewed it twice, "Do you know his current situation in another state?"

Cuitik laughed dryly: "Grandmaster, you don't want me to go to another state to investigate this matter, do you?"

Green Water Beggar looked at Cuitik and said, "Are you going to let me go by myself? I have given you so much cultivation, don't you think you should do something for me?"

Cuitik agreed, got a travel permit and bought a ticket that day, preparing to travel to another state.

He was packing his bags when a man covered in bandages entered his room.

Cuitik stared at the man and looked him up and down. "I didn't expect you to be able to hold on for so long. You are much more tenacious than I thought."

He Jiaqing adjusted the bandage on his face so that he could speak: "No matter how tenacious a life is, it will reach its limit. I came here to seek cooperation from you."

"Excuse me," Cuitik dipped some pus from He Jiaqing's face and tasted it, "Your condition is not optimistic. The chances of saving this body are slim."

He Jiaqing did not deny his condition: "So I really need your help."

Cuitik folded a tie and put it in the suitcase: "I appreciate your honesty, but any cooperation is based on value. What value do you have to me now?"

He Jiaqing was also prepared: "That depends on what your definition of value is. I have many valuable magic weapons and spiritual objects, as well as many assets with more direct value."

Cuitik shook his head slightly: "I am not interested in your assets. It's not that I don't like money, but I have a high probability of not being able to get them. Even if you change all your assets into real gold and silver, you will definitely find a way to prevent me from getting them.
As for your magic weapons and spiritual objects, I am indeed very interested, but compared to your life, the value of the two is not equal.
And I have a better idea. I can call the Grandmaster back immediately and have him kill you. Then I can find a way to take away your magic weapons, spiritual objects, and assets. What do you think of this idea?"

He Jiaqing blinked and said, "I don't think you should be such a heartless person."

Cuitik smiled and said, "My feelings depend on your value."

He Jiaqing was silent for a long time, but because his face was covered with bandages, Cuitik couldn't see his expression.

"Actually, I didn't want to come to see you. I wanted to find an old friend of mine," He Jiaqing said. "I haven't seen that old friend for a long time. Did you kill him?"

"Are you talking about my senior brother Wan Jinxian?" Cuitik frowned slightly. "My senior brother is missing and I am very worried. If you try to put the blame on me, it will be like trampling on the few friendships between us."

He Jiaqing coughed twice, and a large amount of pus blocked his trachea, making it difficult for him to breathe. "I didn't say that Lao Wan's death had anything to do with you. I was just thinking that Lao Wan is gone, and if there is one less Green Water Beggar, there will only be you, the sick cultivator, left in the world. Will this further enhance our friendship?"

Cuitik closed the suitcase, but there were too many pieces of luggage and the lock could not be fastened: "Does this assumption make sense? If you could really kill him, you wouldn't put yourself in such a mess."

He Jiaqing helped Cui Tike hold down the box: "But we have the same goal, I must get rid of the Green Water Beggar. This goal concerns my life, I will do my best,
If you can help me control the lesion a little, I can provide more value in this cooperation. With more value, we will have a deeper friendship. You should not be able to refuse such a smooth and logical argument." Cuitik successfully fastened the lock, straightened up, and clapped his hands: "The logic is impeccable, but I refuse to cooperate with you because I don't want to cooperate with others. I don't want to pin my hopes on others."

He Jiaqing looked at Cui Tik and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you have worked with Li Qi in the Moxiang store. Is he a special case?"

Cuitik nodded: "Yes, he is a special case."

He Jiaqing asked again: "If he is also willing to join, would you consider cooperation between us?"

Cuitik looked at He Jiaqing expressionlessly: "I still say the same thing, don't make those meaningless assumptions."

……

He Jiaqing left Wujie Hospital.

Not long after he left, the figure of the Green Water Beggar appeared at the hospital entrance.

He Jiaqing came to Wujie Hospital and met Cuitik, but Cuitik did not tell Green Water Beggar.

Green Water Beggar didn't know what to make of this result.

Think again about the seemingly unclear purpose but tacit understanding between Cuitik and Li Qi.

I asked Qixiu Gouweicao to ambush Li Qi and asked Cuitik to watch from the side. As a result, Cuitik said that Gouweicao was dead and the identity of the person who killed Gouweicao was unknown.

I asked Cuitik to go to the Moxiang shop to inquire about the condition of the local god. Cuitik said that the local god was not in good condition. As a result, I didn't see the local god, but I met the people from Neizhou. After a hard battle, I got nothing and I was injured.

Later I heard that Li Qi was also in the Moxiang shop at that time. Does this matter have anything to do with him?
I asked Cuitik to go to Sage Peak with him. I didn't know where Cuitik went in the first half, and I didn't see Cuitik take any action in the second half.

He didn't help me at all, but later I heard that Li Qi sent all those bitches in Bitch Gang to Huangtu Bridge. Did Cuitik go to help him?

Afterwards, Wan Jinxian went to Huangtu Bridge and there was no news from him. Could he also be Li Qi's man?

As he was thinking about it, Green Water Beggar suddenly laughed.

Are all the people around me Li Qi's people?
Should we go to the hospital and kill Trick now?
After thinking for a long time, Green Water Beggar did not kill Cuitik.

If you think the worst of everything, even if you are not a bad person, you will become a bad person.

If Cuitik is really Li Qi's man, killing him will only mean that Li Qi will lose a chess piece.

If Cuitik was not Li Qi's man, if he was killed, Green Water Beggar would suffer a great loss.

Grabbing a handful of soil from the ground, Green Water Beggar smelled it. It was He Jiaqing's footprint, and there was some pus here.

The Green Water Beggar disappeared and continued to track He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing headed north to Guangming Town.

Enter Xindi from Guangming Town and walk until dawn to Wuyouping.

After walking in Wuyouping for most of the day, He Jiaqing entered Xindi again. At dusk, when he walked out of Xindi, he had already arrived at Tiemenbao.

At Tiemenbao, he went down the lake and entered Xindi. After a whole day of trekking, he finally arrived at Huahu Park.

He came to Yuezhou to seek help from Li Banfeng. Only through Li Banfeng could he gain Cuitik's trust.

But how can we convince Li Banfeng? How can we get him to join this cooperation?

He Jiaqing couldn't think of a reason to speak.

Maybe someone could help him.

He pulled up the collar of his coat, trying to cover the bandage on his face as much as possible, and walked towards Yuezhou University.

A few hours later, a drop of pus containing blood was trembling slightly in the lake water of Huahu Park.

More and more pus gathered together, forming a sticky floating mass on the surface of the lake.

As the floating objects gathered, a face covered with pus-filled sores emerged.

"This is Outer State." The face on the lake opened its eyes and looked around at the surroundings.

The floating objects gradually gathered into a human shape, turning into a green water beggar in tattered clothes.

Green Water Beggar climbed up the lake shore and walked along the lake for two steps. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Where are you from? What do you do?"

Green Water Beggar turned around and saw a man walking towards him.

"I asked you what you do? Can't you hear me?" the man shouted.

Green Water Beggar shook the bowl in his hand and said, "I am a beggar."

"Who let you into this park? Get out of here right now!" The man stepped forward and pushed the Green Water Beggar, who staggered.

Lu Huazi looked at the man in astonishment: "You pushed me?"

The man glared at Lu Huazi: "What's wrong with pushing you?"

Lu Huazi had some foundation in martial arts, and was pushed by him completely because he was caught off guard.

This man seems to be of high status. If we compare him to Pro Province, he should be a figure in the Customs Office, right?
"The higher-ups are coming to check right away. Here comes a beggar. Isn't this an eyesore? Where is the security guard? How did they let him in?" The man looked around but didn't see any security guard. He only saw the Green Water Beggar standing there in a daze.

"Why aren't you leaving?" The man stepped forward and tried to push the Green Water Beggar again, but this time he didn't have the strength to do it.

His hands felt numb and weak.

It was really soft. From the elbow down, most of the forearm hung down, as if it had no bones.

“Uh, gurgle…” The man opened his mouth and wanted to call for help, but his voice was choked by pus and blood, and his jaw drooped and could not close.

His face collapsed instantly, and his head drooped to his chest like a ball of meat. All kinds of sticky liquids flowed out of his mouth and nose.

It wasn't just his face that was collapsing. His entire body of bones were being madly eaten away by the lesions, leaving countless holes. The bones became loose and brittle until they turned into a ball of powder.

The lesions in the powder will continue to corrode his body until it turns into pus.

Under the corrosion of pus and blood, the clothes turned into mucus and seeped into the soil along with the pus.

The Green Water Beggar ignored the pus and blood on the ground. He held his begging bowl and continued walking around the park.

After walking out of the park, Green Water Beggar looked at the traffic and people on the roadside and couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are so many people from other states, more than the people in Green Water City. I can kill as many as I want, anyway, there won't be..."

boom!
A man pushed Green Water Beggar from behind, causing him to stagger.

"Who told you to beg here? Get out of here right now! Or I'll arrest you right now!"

Push me again?
Green Flower turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind him. They didn't look very old, but seemed to have great status. The people selling balloons, sausages, and cotton candy were all very afraid of them.

The man put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and shouted angrily: "I'm asking you a question! Who told you to beg here?"

They look a bit like patrolmen, but patrolmen are not as arrogant as them.

It is also possible that he came from a wealthy family.

Green Water Beggar asked with a smile: "Which family are you from?"

The man was stunned, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you asking this? Is it your business?"

Green Water Beggar exclaimed: "People from other states are really amazing. In my place, there are really few people who dare to push me."

"Why did I push you..." Before he could finish his words, the man started coughing.

At first he thought he was choked by the wind. The woman next to him didn't take it seriously and kept urging the Green Water Beggar to leave as soon as possible.

The man coughed more and more violently, his body kept shaking, and he was about to fall, but he still couldn't stop.

The woman stepped forward to help him, but saw that the man's face was blue and purple, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was still coughing. She didn't know what to do with him.

Green Water Beggar turned and walked away, laughing as he walked: "This is a nice place, the people are quite interesting, and there are no peddlers yet.
When I become Li Qi, I will have some fun for a few days."

……

When Ma Wu arrived at the Soda Kiln, he first rented a house to live in, then found a group of friends and inquired about the news.

There was a dispute between Qingyun Society and Baihua Sect, which resulted in a loss of life. This was the only major incident that happened in the Soda Kiln recently.

But this matter is not enough to make the Balancer take action.

Ma Wu went to ask Yan Songan, the commander of the soda kiln, but Yan Songan was evasive and refused to say anything.

The less he said, the more it proved that the situation was serious. Under such circumstances, Ma Wu definitely could not let Li Qi come to the soda kiln.

At night, Ma Wu was thinking about other channels through which he could get information, when he suddenly heard from Zhigua that the envoy Yan Songan wanted to see him.

Ma Wu quickly welcomed Yan Songan into the main hall: "Brother Yan, I came to you during the day and you used tricks to evade me. Then you came to my house alone at night. What does this mean?"

"That's all I mean. I want to find a suitable place to talk to you." Yan Songan looked around and felt that the living room was not a suitable place.

Ma Wu invited Yan Songan into the study. Yan Songan lowered his voice and said, "Something did happen at the soda kiln. I can't say how serious the incident is, but I do know where it happened."

Yan Songan told Ma Wu the location of the abandoned factory.

Ma Wu was a little hesitant. He wanted to go and take a look, but he didn't know if he could go to this place.

If we tell Lao Qi about this place, it will be difficult for him to make a decision.

But if I want to force my way in here, I have to consider my own strength.

Ma Wu is now a fourth-level cultivator, and he is accompanied by several guards whose cultivation levels are all at the fifth or sixth level.

Dealing with a small person is no problem, but even the customs official doesn't know the inside story of this matter. This person in the abandoned factory is definitely not a small person.

Ma Wu pondered for half the night, and at around two o'clock in the morning, he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

It smells like rouge. Whose body is this?
Aqin was asleep, Huoling was asleep too, and they didn't use this kind of rouge.

No, this is not rouge, it's body odor.

Ma Wu quickly stood up and hugged the woman behind him.

The woman said in Ma Wu's arms, "Wulang is so heartless, he forgot about me."

Ma Wu kissed Feng Daiku's cheek and said softly, "I am wrong. You should punish me severely."

Feng Daiku arrived at the soda kiln.

While doing this, Ma Wu thought: Feng Daiku is the local god of Kudaikan. She just came to the soda kiln. Will the local god of the soda kiln just leave her alone?
Feng Daiku patted Ma Wu's face and said, "Why did you stop? Are you worried about something?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'd like to reminisce about this."

"What are you reminiscing about?" Feng Dai smiled bitterly. "Could it be possible to change the taste? Tell me, what's on your mind?"

Ma Wu was about to elaborate when Feng Daiku patted Ma Wu's cheek again: "Why did you stop again?"

"You are testing me on purpose." Ma Wu did not stop and recounted the whole incident in a steady breath.

Feng Daiku wiped the sweat off Ma Wu's face and asked softly, "Wulang, do you really want to go?"

Ma Wu nodded: "I really want to go and see it."

Feng Daiku and Ma Wu switched places, and Feng Daiku hooked Ma Wu's nose and said, "Since you want to go, I'll go with you."

PS: Does Feng Daiku feel so sorry for Ma Wu?
