Lord of Puro

Chapter 532: Cause and Effect Entanglement (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Li Banfeng called out, "Brother Huang."

Hearing this, Ye Jianhuang was quite happy and said to Li Banfeng, "Brother, wait for me to finish something first, then I will congratulate you."

After saying that, Ye Jianhuang took the pipe, took a puff, and spit the smoke onto Feng Chongli's face.

"Boss Feng, my brother is having a wedding, you shouldn't come here to mess up on this day, or you can listen to my advice and never come here again."

Feng Chongli took the abacus and fiddled with it twice.

This is not a casual move. Every time Feng Chongli makes an important decision, he has to calculate the cost: "Senior Huang, I'm afraid it's not easy to give you this face today."

Feng Chongli had calculated that if he just let Li Banfeng go, he felt that he would be at a disadvantage.

Ye Jianhuang was considerate: "If you feel you've lost, then let's have a fight. My brother is making a living in this new land, so I'm here to help him open up the wasteland today."

Ye Jianhuang bit the cigarette holder and took a sip. It seemed as if there were countless sharp blades in the smoke, scratching Feng Chongli's skin.

Feng Chongli calculated again with an abacus. Is it worth fighting with Ye Jianhuang for this piece of land?

The result of the calculation is that it depends on the situation of the yellowing leaf tips.

If it's just a casual fight, there won't be much loss.

If Ye Jianhuang is serious and wants to fight him to the death, it will be a waste of time and effort.

Feng Chongli turned the abacus beads and a strong wind blew up, dispersing the smoke emitted by Ye Jianhuang.

Ye Jianhuang was not in a hurry at all. He held his pipe and coughed twice, which dispelled Feng Chongli's magic and the wind stopped on the spot.

After the wind stopped, Ye Jianhuang exhaled another puff of smoke. This time the smoke penetrated into Feng Chongli's clothes and went to his vital points.

The yellow leaf tips are serious!
If it is just a show, the actions should be big but the results should be small.

But at the moment Ye Jianhuang didn't make any moves, and his first attack was a killing move.

Feng Chongli stopped moving the abacus beads. Facing Ye Jianhuang in this situation, it was not wise to continue fighting.

He put away the abacus, clasped his fists towards Ye Jianhuang, Li Banfeng and He Yuxiu respectively, then turned and left.

Ye Jianhuang tapped his pipe and turned to look at Li Banfeng: "Brother, it's time to congratulate you."

Li Banfeng clasped his fists and thanked him: "Senior Huang, it's all thanks to you just now..."

Ye Jianhuang waved his hands repeatedly: "Please don't call me senior. If you do, someone will be unhappy."

He was talking about Sun Tiecheng, because Li Qi always called Sun Tiecheng "big brother", and Ye Jianhuang had heard Gui Jianchou and Tang Changfa mention him.

"If you respect me in the future, just call me Brother Huang like you did just now. This is your brother's wife, right?" Ye Jianhuang looked at He Yuxiu. Her physique looked good for childbearing.

He Yuxiu was too embarrassed to look up, but in fact Ye Jianhuang was joking with her.

It is normal that He Yuxiu does not recognize Yejianhuang because Yejianhuang rarely appears.

But Ye Jianhuang recognized He Yuxiu. He was well aware of all the major and minor events in Prozhou, and naturally he also knew the eldest lady of the He family.

After some jokes, Ye Jianhuang took Li Banfeng to a secluded place and started talking about business: "Someone told me to tell you, don't always care about other people's business and forget about your own business."

Li Banfeng understood what Ye Jianhuang meant. This was City Lord Sun asking Li Banfeng to go home.

"Brother Huang, you can see that this new land has been targeted by Xuehua Pu. If I leave now, I'm afraid that all my efforts will be in vain."

Ye Jianhuang sighed, "Xuehua Pu is indeed difficult to deal with. I will keep an eye on her for you. If I can't keep an eye on her anymore, then your elder brother Sun will...

Go back home and tell him what happened. He protects you so much, you can't just sit there and watch this happen."

Li Banfeng returned to the boundary of the land, gave a few words of instruction to He Yuxiu, Ma Wu, the cook and the others, and prepared to leave the new land and head to Fool's City.

He Yuxiu was a little reluctant: "Seventh Brother, when will you come back?"

Li Banfeng said with a smile: "When you have firmly established yourself as the local god, I will probably come back and continue to open up the wasteland."

He Yuxiu's heart was beating fast. She looked at the land and saw that the three men had laid out the offerings, ready to reclaim the land again.

When she turned around, Li Banfeng had already disappeared into the distance.

……

At the gate of Fool City, a man stopped Li Banfeng and demanded the entrance fee: "You have to pay a dollar to enter the city. This is the rule here!"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "One piece is not enough."

The man was stunned and asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"You have to give me five bucks!"

The man scratched his head: "Is five dollars too much?"

"Not much," Li Banfeng said to the man earnestly, "I came all the way here, and the fare is one dollar, and dry food and water cost another half a dollar.
I got a minor injury on the way, and the medicine and gauze cost half a dollar, which is two dollars. You gave me one dollar, is that appropriate? Where is your conscience?"

The doorman fiddled with his fingers and counted for a long time: "Even if one dollar is not enough, you can't ask for five dollars. Didn't you only spend two dollars?"

Li Banfeng waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished talking yet. I met a robber on the road and was robbed of three dollars. How do you think the money should be settled?"

The gatekeeper was angry: "It's not me who stole your money, so no matter how you calculate the money, it can't be counted on me!"

Li Banfeng was also angry: "If I hadn't come to Fool City, this money wouldn't have been robbed. I was robbed of three dollars just to enter this city gate. You are the gatekeeper here, shouldn't you pay for this money?"

The gatekeeper lowered his head and said, "You are asking for too much. Five dollars is definitely not enough. Let's not talk about other things. You definitely won't spend a dollar to hire a carriage. The dry food, water and rice are too much. There are also medicine and gauze. How can those things be worth half a dollar..."

The two argued for a while and finally reached an agreement, and the gatekeeper gave Li Banfeng three and a half dollars.

Li Banfeng took the money and entered the city.

The one watching the city gate sneered, "You seem unconvinced. I tell you, giving you three and a half dollars is not bad. If I were cruel before, I would have given you three dollars. What can you do to me?"

……

Li Banfeng arrived at Changsan Bookstore. Yan Cui'er was soliciting business at the door, Yan Qing'er was singing in the house, Yan Hong'er was sitting aside reading a newspaper, and Tang Changfa was doing the accounts in the back hall.

Seeing the shopkeeper come back, everyone was very happy. Li Qi looked at the newspaper in Yanhong's hand and couldn't help frowning: "Isn't this last month's newspaper?"

Yan Hong Er pouted and said, "I asked Tang Chang Fa for newspapers, but he always refused to buy them for me."

Li Banfeng was unhappy: "Old Tang, I gave you a lot of money before, why can't you even buy a newspaper?"

Tang Changfa rubbed his hands and said, "It's hard to make money, but it's also hard to spend. This is all earned by the shopkeeper with great effort. We can buy some firewood and rice to live on, but how can we spend it recklessly on other things?"

Li Banfeng looked at Tang Changfa. He had given him a sum of Huanguo banknotes before, and then gave him ten thousand oceans. Tang Changfa also showed Li Banfeng the account book. He had hardly touched the money.

No matter how much money he is given, all he cares about is food and water. In the City of Fools, staying alive is more important to him than anything else.

Li Banfeng took out his wallet and gave some to Yanhong first: "Go buy newspapers, buy as many as you want."

Yan Hong'er left happily, and Li Banfeng gave Yan Cui'er some money: "Go buy wine and meat, pick the best ones."

Tang Chang was anxious: "Boss, how can I ask you for money? There is plenty of money in the account. You can't let Yan Cui'er buy this wine and meat. This girl is too naive and doesn't know how to spend money!"

"You stay at home and let them go. Let them have fun." Li Banfeng stopped Tang Changfa and gave Yan Qing'er some money.

"Go buy some new clothes, one for each sister!"

Yan Qing'er went happily.

Li Banfeng took out another stack of banknotes and gave it to Sun Tiecheng: "Go buy some rouge and dress up with the sisters!"

Sun Tiecheng looked at himself in the mirror and said, "I am so handsome now, do I still need to dress up?"

Li Banfeng was shocked and quickly took the money back.

There were only three girls and Tang Changfa in the room just now. Li Banfeng really didn't know when Sun Tiecheng came in.

"Brother Sun!" Li Banfeng bowed earnestly.

Sun Tiecheng stopped the three girls and said, "Don't rush out. Stand aside. I have something to say to your shopkeeper today."

The three girls stood obediently by the wall. Tang Changfa called the other girls out and asked them to stand in an orderly line.

Sun Tiecheng said to Li Qi, "When you passed the test in Fool City, I gave you a reward and taught you the Fool Cultivation Technique. This was not in vain. We had an agreement before that when the time comes, you must join my sect. Now the time is not right.
Your cultivation has reached the cloud. I am sure that I can let you practice all three disciplines at the same time, and I will not let you suffer from the backlash of cultivation. If you join my sect, you will be the only cultivator in the world. If you do not join my sect, there are some things that we must discuss properly. "

Li Banfeng said: "No need to say, I want to enter the Taoist sect, sincerely!"

Sun Tiecheng admired Li Banfeng's attitude: "Since you have agreed, I will do it!"

Li Banfeng was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"To enter the Dao sect, you must apply medicine powder!" Sun Tiecheng took out a cloth bag, took out some medicine powder with his bare hands, and asked Li Banfeng, "Where do you want to apply it?"

Li Banfeng was a little hesitant.

Apply it on the thickest part of the meat?

It would definitely be inappropriate to take off your pants in front of so many girls.

Apply on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet?
Injury to the limbs would inevitably affect combat effectiveness. In order to minimize the impact, Li Banfeng pulled up his collar and pointed at his belly and said, "Apply it here!"

"Okay!" Sun Tiecheng nodded and smeared the powder on Li Banfeng's face.

Li Banfeng covered his face and jumped in pain: "Didn't I tell you to wipe your belly?"

Sun Tiecheng smiled and said, "No matter where you say to apply it, I will apply it on my face."

"Then you still ask me?"

"This is to train you. I used some techniques. Let's see if you can discover them."

Li Banfeng was not convinced: "I used a technique on you, could you detect it?"

Sun Tiecheng was very confident: "I can do it!"

“Then I’ll really use it.”

Sun Tiecheng pulled out a short knife: "Just give it a try!"

This person is really unreasonable.

Li Banfeng folded his hands, squatted on the ground and said, "Today is the day I enter the Dao Sect. It's such a big happy event, and you come empty-handed?"

Sun Tiecheng was surprised and asked, "What do you mean by empty-handed? Didn't I just give you the powder?"

Li Banfeng snorted and said, "That little bit of powder is not worth much. At least you can teach me some techniques."

Sun Tiecheng snorted coldly: "Did I teach you too little? How many years has Gu Rushong been with me? I only taught him two techniques, and you have learned four techniques from me. Is that not enough?"

"How can he compare with me? I am a true disciple, the only living cultivator in our Yu Xiu. Shouldn't you take care of me?"

Tang Changfa said, "What the shopkeeper said makes sense. We should take care of him."

Yan Cui persuaded Sun Tiecheng: "Today is our big day, it is only right that you teach us two more skills."

Yan Honger nodded repeatedly: "Our shopkeeper is the eldest son of the city. If you don't love him, who else can you love?"

Yan Qing'er picked up the pipa and said, "City Lord, I will sing a little song for you. You are the head of our Fool City, so you can't be too petty in doing things."

Sun Tiecheng was annoyed: "Didn't I tell you to go out and buy something? What are you all doing here? Go buy something!"

Everyone went about their business and left. Li Banfeng was still squatting on the ground, looking aggrieved.

Sun Tiecheng squatted beside Li Banfeng and said unhappily, "Okay, today is indeed a good day. I will teach you another technique. Have you learned it?"

Li Banfeng was stunned: "What did I learn? You didn't teach me anything!"

Sun Tiecheng said seriously, "What are you talking about? It was you who wanted to learn the techniques, and I promised to teach you the techniques. How can you say I didn't teach you?"

"Are you joking?" Li Banfeng didn't understand. "You promised to teach me, so it counts as teaching me?"

Sun Tiecheng was still serious: "If I don't agree to teach you, then I definitely can't teach you. Don't you think that's the truth?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "That makes sense."

Sun Tiecheng added: "If I agree to teach you, I have already taught you. Don't you think this is the truth?"

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time: "What's the logic behind this?"

"This is the principle of putting cause and effect before effect," Sun Tiecheng laughed. "Whether I taught you or not depends on whether I agreed or not. Think about it carefully. Is what I said really unreasonable?"

Li Banfeng actually felt that this made sense because he was hit by the technique.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

But this is inconsistent with the normal logic he knows, so Li Banfeng cannot accept the truth in it.

"The causal relationship you mentioned has loopholes. You can't calculate it this way."

Sun Tiecheng smiled and said, "How do you say it should be calculated? Do you have the final say, or do I have the final say? What is the cause and what is the effect? ​​Let's see how the technique is performed. Do you understand now?"

Li Banfeng pondered over the key points of the technique for a long time, then murmured, "Is this the ineffable?"

Sun Tiecheng nodded: "Good boy, you've got it. Other people's techniques use unexplainable means, while our techniques use unexplainable mechanisms. That's why we dare to call our school the best in the world!"

Li Banfeng carefully pondered the changing rules between cause and effect. This time the technique was obviously not easy to learn. Sun Tiecheng told Li Banfeng not to be too anxious: "Reversing cause and effect is a hard skill. At the beginning, don't find too hard cause and effect to reverse.
For example, I went to Changsan Bookstore and had dinner. This is normal cause and effect. If you reverse it to mean that I didn't have dinner, so I didn't go to the bookstore, this reversal is a bit too rigid.
I didn't have dinner yet, but I still went into the bookstore. It's easy to reverse the obvious truth. I have the ability, but you still need to practice more.
You can start by reversing the cause and effect which is not so rigid. You can reverse it so that I ate dinner, which proves that I entered the book house. If you reverse it this way, it will be much smoother. "

Li Banfeng tried it and found that, indeed, the two causes and effects were reversed, and the difficulty level was very different.

Sun Tiecheng smiled and said, "Brother, do you have any idea?"

Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly, then stood up and said, "Now that I have entered the Taoist sect, I should call you Master."

Sun Tiecheng smiled bitterly: "You said it the other way around. Now you want to call me Master? I can't call you Master even if I want to."

Li Banfeng was stunned: "Why can't I scream?"

Sun Tiecheng pulled a chair and asked Li Banfeng to sit down: "If you are still outside the sect, you should indeed call me Master, and the disciples outside the sect should also call me Master, but if you enter the sect, you can only call me Big Brother,

We in the Dao sect only have brothers, not masters. You must remember that this is a rule that cannot be changed."

Li Banfeng didn't understand: "Why is there such a rule?"

Sun Tiecheng was silent for a moment and said, "If there comes a day when we become enemies and have to fight to the death, I will definitely tell you that I passed on my skills to you and I am your master. You cannot betray your master and destroy your ancestors.
Don't be fooled. There is no master in our sect, and there is no such thing as betraying the master and destroying the ancestors. Don't show mercy to me either."

The words sounded heavy, Li Banfeng blinked and said, "How can we become enemies? Where did you get the idea from?"

Sun Tiecheng said seriously, "Do you remember it?"

"Remember." Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly.

Yan Cui'er bought some wine and food, and Tang Changfa quickly set the table. Sun Tiecheng looked at the food box and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "How can this be enough to eat?"

Tang Changfa said: "It's quite a lot, enough for a whole table!"

Sun Tiecheng took out a few silver dollars and said, "Go buy some more and add a few more tables so that the people from the bookstore can come and eat together. Don't leave out the people who sweep the floor or dust the floor."

This was a big day for Changsan Bookstore and a big day for Fool's City. Sun Tiecheng was very happy. He drank all the toasts from everyone and even drank from two jars of wine, but still felt he hadn't drunk enough.

Li Banfeng put down his wine bowl and talked about what happened during the day: "Brother, the people from Xuehuapu have set their sights on me. They were investigating me secretly before, and now they are looking for trouble openly. Today, thanks to Brother Huang's help, I was able to escape."

Sun Tiecheng was quite satisfied: "Ah Huang did a good job. You are also very courageous. You dare to ask for land from the people of Neizhou. This land is not easy to defend."

Li Banfeng said, "I am also worried about this. What should I do if I meet someone from Xuehuapu again?"

Sun Tiecheng laughed and said, "What else can we do? Beat him up! If we can beat them, we'll beat them to death. If we can't beat them, we'll hide first and beat them to death when we have the chance to do something dirty."

Li Banfeng sighed, "They say that Xuehua Pu is not easy to offend, but I have offended them completely this time."

Sun Tiecheng sneered repeatedly: "It's not easy to offend Snow Cream. Who the hell is Snow Flower Pu? What can you do if you offend them? They are destined to be beaten!"

Li Banfeng said: "They are in charge of the business of minting coins, and they have many ruthless people under them. With my current abilities, I really can't defeat them."

Sun Tiecheng shook his head and said, "Brother, there are some things I can't tell you. You just listen to me. When you can beat them up, don't be polite. Beat them to death. If you really can't beat them up, come to me and I will beat them up for you."

Xuehua Pu was so unbearable in front of Sun Tiecheng.

After a few more drinks, Li Banfeng looked at Tang Changfa and several girls he knew well and said, "Brother, I want to take them out and give them some experience."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Changfa, Yan Cui'er and others put down their chopsticks.

Sun Tiecheng was speechless. Tang Changfa said to Li Qi, "Boss, we haven't been out for many years. We don't know what it's like outside. If we go out now, we might cause a lot of trouble and end up being a burden to you."

Li Qi shook his head: "It's impossible to be a burden. You all have your own ways of doing things. You can be my helper when you go out."

Several people looked at each other in silence.

Sun Tiecheng smacked his lips and said, "The entire Pro Province is on guard against our Dao Sect. They have been with me for so many years, and I am a little worried. If they leave the city, they will probably die."

Li Banfeng thought for a long time and said to Sun Tiecheng: "Then don't go to Purozhou, go to other states. Other states don't know much about our Taoist sect."

When he heard about going to other states, Tang Changfa panicked even more: "City Lord, other states may not know us, but we don't know other states even more. I have rarely seen the word other states except in newspapers."

Sun Tiecheng took a sip of wine and tasted it. This time he was a little moved: "Seventh Brother, tell me the truth, bringing them to other states is to help you or to repay me?

If you want to repay me, forget it. I don't need you to repay me. If you really want to take them out to see the world, I think it's a good thing."

"They are all good helpers when they go to other states. This is the truth." Li Banfeng really needs some helpers in other states.

Tang Changfa still didn't want to go: "City Lord, we really can't..."

"Why not?" Sun Tiecheng waved his hand. "In the city, you listen to me. In Changsan Bookstore, you have to listen to the owner. You have to go wherever the owner tells you to go!"

Everyone was silent. Sun Tiecheng was in a good mood and poured another bowl for Li Qi: "Set a date and take them on their journey. If you think they are really useful, stay for a few more days. If they are really useless, send them back to me."

After living in Fool's City for a few days, under the guidance of Sun Tiecheng, Li Banfeng learned the skill of reversing cause and effect.

He also received news from He Yuxiu that the first three-mile piece of land in the new land had been opened.

The chef is really good. He has different strategies to deal with different monsters.

The three-headed man learned quickly. On the last day of the exam, the cook did not give much guidance. The three-headed man came up with a strategy on his own and successfully defeated Fengqu Weng.

The land reclamation work went smoothly. With the water source, more than 5,000 people were settled smoothly. Ye Jianhuang stayed in the new land, and Xuehuapu did not send anyone to cause trouble again. This matter was completely accomplished.

"Good boy," Sun Tiecheng exclaimed, "You have cut a piece of meat from Neizhou!"

Li Banfeng was not greedy for credit: "Brother, that crucian carp skeleton was left by you, right?"

Sun Tiecheng nodded.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "I just picked it up from Big Brother."

Sun Tiecheng shook his head and said, "This ready-made fish is not something that everyone can pick up. I kept this fish to see if the inner state dares to fight with the outer state.
Judging from the situation, although the inner states are shouting loudly, they still lack the confidence. They would rather pay you a piece of land than fight with the outer states. "

Li Banfeng sighed, "If I had known that it was Big Brother's plan, I would have asked them for a few more plots of land to see if they would agree."

Sun Tiecheng laughed when he heard this: "You are really ambitious, you know that you personally appointed a local god!"

"Really?" Li Banfeng thought about the whole process of the incident. It was indeed he who personally sealed the name of He Yuxiu.

Li Banfeng smiled casually: "This is nothing."

"It's nothing." Sun Tiecheng looked Li Banfeng up and down. "The local god is a local lord. Who do you think can be appointed as the local god?"

Li Banfeng really didn't know about this.

Sun Tiecheng didn't explain much, just hummed a little tune and turned away.

After everything was packed up, Tang Changfa handed the book house over to Yan Qing'er to manage, took Yan Hong'er and Yan Cui'er, and followed Li Banfeng out of Fool's City.

Li Banfeng originally planned to take them on the train. With his ability, it would not be a problem for him to get three anonymous travel passes. Everyone could take the train back without having to walk so hard.

But less than twenty miles away from Fool City, Tang Changfa began to tremble. He didn't know how to move his legs when walking or how to open his mouth when speaking.

This is not nervousness. Tang Changfa is worried that his skill of fooling people will fail, that no one will believe that he is still alive, and that he will slowly become dead.

Yan Cui'er shivered along with Tang Changfa. Yan Hong'er was strong-willed and smart. She pretended to be calm in front of Li Banfeng, but she was actually afraid in her heart.

Li Banfeng said to the three of them, "I walked out of Fool's City. Am I alive?"

The three nodded.

Li Banfeng said to the three of them: "You must be alive since you came out of Fool's City!"

Yan Cui'er nodded, she believed that what the shopkeeper said was true.

Yan Hong'er said nothing. She felt that this was not true, but she didn't dare say it out loud.

Tang Changfa couldn't help himself and said, "Boss, you are different from us."

Li Banfeng pretended to be surprised: "How are we different? We are the same when we eat, the same when we drink, the same when we sleep, the same when we enter the Dao, the same when we learn techniques, no matter what we do, there is no difference between us, aren't we the same people?"

Li Banfeng sorted out the cause and effect, and Tang Changfa felt relieved. They thought they could walk all the way to the station, but they didn't expect that after walking a few dozen miles, the three of them fell ill again.

They have been in Fool's City for who knows how many years. This is not something that can be cured with just one technique. If they get on the train in this situation, who knows how much trouble will arise. If they can't control themselves, they may tell others about what happened in Fool's City.

Let’s go to new land.

Li Banfeng led the three of them to trek through the new land. They walked for a whole day and set up camp to rest at night. Just as Li Banfeng was about to return to his residence, he smelled a smell of burnt smoke.

On fire?
Li Banfeng walked out of the tent and followed the smell of burnt smoke. After walking more than two miles, he saw a man who had built a stove with a few stones and was adding firewood to the furnace.

Seeing Li Banfeng, the man stood up and clapped his hands: "The night wind is getting colder. I'm afraid you'll get cold, so I'll light a stove to keep you warm."

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "It's more than two miles away from us. We really can't feel the warmth."

The man added some firewood and said, "You are here now. I knew you would come, so I made a fire here and waited for you to warm yourself."

Li Banfeng nodded: "You are a nice person. What do you want to do by bringing me here?"

The man replied sincerely: "I want to fight with you and see who wins."

Li Banfeng asked: "What happens after the fight?"

The man took out a deed and said, "If you win, I will sign this deed and the land under my feet will be yours to use in the future."

Li Banfeng said, "If you win, He Yuxiu's land will belong to you, right?"

"I don't want that piece of land for nothing," the man took out another deed, "If I win, you sign this deed, and I'll exchange this piece of land for He Yuxiu's land. You won't suffer too much."

Li Banfeng asked: "What's your name?"

The man took the deed, poked the fire, and said with a smile: "I like to light the fire. Keep the fire burning vigorously. The land under your feet is mine."
