Lord of Puro

Chapter 593 Corpses everywhere
"A senior asked you to come to Qianliangfang to work? Can you tell me the identity of that senior?" He Jiaqing looked Cui Tik up and down. Apart from the Green Water Beggar, He Jiaqing really couldn't think of any other senior who would have any dealings with Cui Tik.

Cuitik shrugged his shoulders and said, "I also want to know which senior asked you to come to Qianliangfang. How about we make a deal? You tell me his identity first, and then I will consider whether to reveal the identity of my senior to you."

"The senior who asked me to come here doesn't like others to know his identity. You'd better not ask about it. It will do you no good if you know it."

Cuitik shook his head slightly: "I want to give you the same advice, but I don't know if you can listen to it."

To be honest, it was difficult for He Jiaqing to understand the relationship between himself and Cui Tik. The two of them were not very close, but every time they interacted, it was a matter of life and death.

He Jiaqing rescued Cui Tike from Bitch Gang, and Cui Tike sent He Jiaqing to the headquarters of the Jiang Xiang Gang. They also teamed up to deal with the Green Water Beggar. Based on all these past experiences, the two men can definitely be considered friends.

But He Jiaqing hated Cuitik a little, and Cuitik also had a bad impression of He Jiaqing.

In the noisy gambling house, the two stared at each other for a long time, and He Jiaqing spoke first: "If we continue to be deadlocked like this, the problem will not be solved."

Cuitik shrugged: "We don't have to be deadlocked. You do your thing, I do mine, and we don't interfere with each other."

He Jiaqing shook his head: "I'm worried that you will interfere with me, so I think we should be honest with each other, starting with you being honest with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiaqing had a wooden box in his hand.

This wooden box belonged to Cuitik. The two men stood face to face, and the box suddenly fell into He Jiaqing's hands.

"You actually stole my things?" Cuitik was surprised. "Even my best friend in Provo tried to avoid physical contact with me. He even used a feather duster when he saw me off."

"What good stuff is in here?" He Jiaqing was not in a hurry to open the box.

"It's a token that the senior gave me. Open it and take a look."

He Jiaqing was not in a hurry to open the box. He was worried that there might be a mechanism inside, or that it might be Cuitik's disease.

He held the box and shook it next to his ear: "Let me hear what token this senior gave you..."

There was a sound inside the box, and it was quite loud.

He Jiaqing was stunned.

He returned the box to Cuitik, and his attitude changed significantly: "Are you trying to threaten me by using his identity?"

Cuitik shook his head and said, "In Pro Province, many people have used his identity, but as far as I know, those people didn't end up well."

He Jiaqing nodded slightly: "Please tell this senior that I have left Qianliangfang and have not caused any interference to you."

Cuitik took the wooden box back and responded grimly: "I doubt that there was no interference."

A manager of the gambling house, named Lu Xiqiang, came up to the two of them, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Are you two here to play? If you want to play, please come inside. If not, don't block the way at the door."

Cuitik smiled and said, "I'm here to play, but this brother doesn't want to play anymore, so he'll leave right away."

"I'll leave now," He Jiaqing looked at Cuitik first, "I hope you have a good time."

He looked at Lu Xiqiang again: "I wish you a prosperous business."

He Jiaqing disappeared into the night. Cuitik came to the card table and played two hands of Pai Gow, but lost both.

He took out his wallet with a serious expression.

Lu Xiqiang smiled and said, "What's wrong, brother? Are you short of money? Can I introduce you to a friend who can help you out?"

A loan officer came closer and asked quietly, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Cuitik calculated carefully: "If it's just me, ten dollars should be enough, but if my friends are included, it will probably be tens of thousands of dollars."

"Did you bring any friends with you?" Dai Xiu looked around.

"I've brought them. A few of them are waiting at the door, and the rest are wandering around somewhere else." Cuitik whistled, and a dozen people, wearing dark red robes and hoods, entered the gambling house.

Dai Xiu was stunned and asked Cui Tike, "You are not believers of foreign religion, right?"

Lu Xiqiang was also a little nervous: "You can come and play, but don't play any magic on me. We have our own rules in this business. Don't ruin our feng shui."

"Don't worry, we're all here to have fun." Cuitik smiled and motioned for his friends to take off their hoods.

The lights in the gambling house were not very bright, and the faces of these people were not easy to identify.

Their skin is too dark and their facial features are unclear.

They seem to have no facial features.

It's not completely absent, they smiled, they had mouths, and there were scattered teeth in their mouths.

The gambling house suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at
Lu Xiqiang said in horror: "What kind of monster is this!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Trick was not very happy. "The way you speak is very rude. My friends are very unhappy."

Dai Xiu shouted, "What religion do you believe in? Who gave you the courage to come to Qianliangfang to cause trouble?"

"You mentioned the issue of faith again. We believe in two gods of Taoism, one is the founder and the other is the eldest brother. We can talk about this issue slowly in another place." Cuitik wiped his face, and an orange-red rash appeared on his cheek.

A group of his friends all rubbed it on their cheeks and broke out in an orange rash.

Lu Xiqiang was quite knowledgeable. When he saw these rashes of various shapes and sizes, he exclaimed, "You, you are using Lu Huazi's technique."

"Don't mention the name of the ancestor casually. Besides, this rash was invented by me." Cuitik waved his hand, and a dozen "friends" quickly rushed into the crowd.

Just as Lu Xiqiang was about to call for help, two "friends" appeared on his left and right, trapping him in the middle.

One of them grabbed his hair and strangled him, while the other tore open his belly with his hands and took out his intestines and internal organs.

Soon, Lu Xiqiang fell to the ground and died.

The people around him fell down one after another. The loan repairman was so scared that his legs went weak. He lay on the ground and crawled towards the door.

He crawled out of the door with his hands and his feet still inside when someone suddenly grabbed his feet from behind.

Dai Xiu turned around and saw Lu Xiqiang, whose internal organs had just been dissected, crawling to his feet, grabbing his left ankle with his left hand and his calf with his right hand.

Dai Xiu kicked and kicked desperately, shook off Lu Xiqiang who was behind him, and stumbled out of the gambling house.

On the street, he saw gamblers running away and several hooded men.

He saw some people trying to jump out of the wall, but they were dragged back one by one by the hooded men.

Dai Xiu rushed to the gate regardless of everything, and at the door, he saw Cuitik.

Dai Xiu bowed repeatedly and said, "Friend, the affairs of Qianliangfang have nothing to do with me. I am just here to do business!"

Cuitik made way for him and said, "I believe you. Please go ahead."

Dai Xiu ran out of the first gate and walked for another ten minutes. Suddenly, he felt an itch on his face.

He scratched it gently, and the blisters on his face burst, oozing orange-red juice.

The juice seemed to have life, flowing rapidly in Dai Xiu's hands, from the fingertips to the palms, from the base of the palms to the arms, and from the arms to the ribs...

Dai Xiu didn't dare to scratch. He wanted to wipe off the juice, but it was very sticky and kept sticking to his body.

There were constant screams all around. Looking back, I saw many hooded people dragging the gambler out of the house from the surrounding courtyards.

The hooded men ignored the loan cultivator, who also ignored the juice on his body and just ran towards the gate.

After running a few dozen meters, he fell to the ground.

Orange-red liquid oozed out of his shoes and his numb feet had lost all feeling.

He wanted to get up, but his hands were too weak to move.

He wanted to shout, but pus gushed out of his mouth.

His vision gradually blurred, as if there was an orange curtain hanging over his eyes.

……

Li Banfeng handed the newspaper to Dou Jiyan: "The largest gambling house in Pro Province has reopened. Ding Liusan is doing very well. It seems that it is time for us to go to Qianliangfang to take a look."

"Seventh brother, I'll go with you." Dou Ji Yan packed up and prepared to leave.

Li Banfeng stood up and said, "Don't go yet. You'll be a burden to me if you go. Tell me where the deed is buried first, and I'll find a way to bring it back for you."

Dou Ji Yan did not hide the fact that her deed was buried in the hall of the largest gambling house.

Li Banfeng set out overnight and arrived at Qianliangfang, only to find that the gate was open but the gatekeeper was gone.

Ding Liusan's business is indeed very open and he doesn't close the shop at night.

A chill ran through his body and Li Banfeng sensed danger.

Something happened in Qianliangfang.

After entering the gate, Li Banfeng smelled a strange smell, a bloody smell with a greasy flavor.

After walking along the road for a while, Li Banfeng saw clumps of orange-red sticky substances on the ground.

Some of the sticky stuff is still wriggling.

Is this... a person?

Li Banfeng tried his best to avoid the sticky things and walked forward. He passed through the first block and came to the eighth block. Li Banfeng saw several people wearing hoods, standing silently on the side of the road.

Baiwei Linglong's skills warned Li Banfeng that there were some smells that Li Banfeng would never forget.

Is this Dao Laogui?

Those hooded people maintained a normal human posture, and there was no trace of Dao Laogui on them.

A hooded man walked out from a yard on the street. His walking posture was so steady, which was very different from the Dao Laogui who used all four limbs.

Is this another new technological breakthrough?

The most important thing is, how could Dao Laogui come to Qianliangfang, this place is so far away from Jianrengang.

Cuitik walked out from another courtyard and stood in front of Li Banfeng: "Friend, what a coincidence that you are here too. I learned about your previous experience from the newspaper. You witnessed their bet here. I thought you would never appear in Qianliangfang again."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "It was Dou Jiyan who made the bet. I still want to come to the largest gambling house in Pro Province."

Cuitik nodded. "At first, I was also curious about what the largest gambling house in Pro State looked like. After I actually came here, I was a little disappointed, but at least my mission went smoothly."

Li Banfeng looked around and asked, "Is this your mission?"

"Yes," Cuitik nodded, "My mission is to prevent these gambling cultivators from posing a threat to Pro Province, whether alive or dead."

"Who gave you this task?"

Cuitik thought for a moment and said, "I shouldn't have revealed his identity to anyone, but I think you should be an exception because you are a very good friend of his."

He took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Li Banfeng.

In Pro Province, there are not many people who dare to take things directly from Cuitik, and Li Banfeng is one of them.

He opened the box and took out a rattle.

Bang!

Li Banfeng shook the rattle and asked Cuitik: "Is it the task he gave you?"

Cuitik nodded and said, "You told me to get along well with the peddler and try to gain his support. I think this is a very correct suggestion. So in Qiqiu City, I decided to accept the task given to me by the peddler."

"The mission he gave you is to kill all the gambling cultivators in Qianliangfang?"

"Not accurate. He asked me to check the situation first. If Dou Jiyan can continue to keep Qianliangfang stable, this operation will be canceled.

If Qian Liang Fang falls into Ding Liu San's hands, then we need to observe the changing trend of Qian Liang Fang.

If Qianliangfang gets out of control, then the threat must be eliminated. No matter whether they are alive or dead, they must not be allowed to threaten the safety of Pro Province.

I think my understanding of the mission is correct. All the gambling cultivators alive in Qianliangfang are dead, and their bodies will not be used by others. "

Cuitik did it. No matter how much a person wanted to become a gambling cultivator, he would not dare to eat that orange-red sticky thing. In any case, one thing must be admitted. The peddler chose the right person to carry out the task. Cuitik completely eliminated the threat of Qianliangfang to Prozhou.

"Friend, I guess you came here to find something?" Cuitik took out another wooden box and handed it to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng opened it and saw a deed and a land seal inside.

"Please tell that beautiful lady that Qianliangfang has undergone great changes. It is up to her to decide whether to return here. I suggest that she start over somewhere else."

Li Banfeng collected the wooden box and looked at the hooded men around him: "Are they all from Shengxian Peak? Are they able to get this far?"

Cuitik smiled and said, "You finally care about our wisdom. They came from Sage Peak, but unfortunately they haven't completely gotten rid of Daogui Ridge's ability.
I just used some means given to me by the peddler to temporarily bring them out of Daogui Ridge. After the mission is completed, the peddler will immediately send them back to Daogui Ridge."

“They’ve changed a lot.”

"This is thanks to our improvements on them, which have given them more possibilities for evolution."

Li Banfeng pointed at the sticky stuff on the ground and said, "What kind of disease is this? How can it turn a living person into this state?"

Cuitik said: "This kind of lesion comes from a technique I created. I named it "Corpses All Over the Ground".

This technique is not just a unique skill. The peddler was very generous. After I accepted the task, he gave me a reward in advance, recognized my Taoism, and configured the corresponding powder for disease repair. I created the first technique for disease repair, a technique that can be passed down in the disease repair Taoism.
Because this technique is at a higher level, I classify it as a second-level technique on the cloud. The key to the technique is not the lethality of the lesion, but its transmission and diffusion in a short period of time.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Just like this virus, its lethality is very limited. It will not cause serious harm to high-level cultivators, but it can spread quickly among low-level cultivators.
If one day you are willing to become a sick practitioner, I can teach you this technique."

"Thank you for your kindness. You didn't go to Qiqiu City to find me. You actually went to Dou Jiyan to get information, right?"

Cuitik smiled and said, "Don't underestimate our friendship. I really want to meet you, but later on, I seem to have developed a special feeling for Miss Dou."

Li Banfeng looked at the bodies around him again: "Is Ding Liusan still alive?"

Cuitik nodded: "He's still alive. He escaped. He's too powerful. It's hard for me to kill him in a short time. But it doesn't matter. The peddler clearly told me that Ding Liusan's life or death is not within the scope of my mission."

Li Banfeng returned the rattle to Cui Tike, took Dou Ji Yan's contract, and left Qian Liang Fang.

Cuitik urged: "Please tell that beautiful girl to stay alive and well."

Li Banfeng looked back at Cuitik. He was whistling and walking slowly on the path. Under the moonlight, it seemed as if he was dancing a special dance to some rhythm and melody.

Maybe that's the dance from his hometown.

The red brick walls, the orange-red corpse, and the dark red robe on the hooded man, everything around him matched his dance steps so well.

Green Flower would never have imagined in his dreams that the first technique of Bing Xiu came from Cuitik.

The New Year is coming again. In Li Banfeng’s first New Year in Prozhou, he learned about Cuitik’s dream.

Two years have passed, and many people and many things have changed, but Cuitik's dream has not changed, and he is getting closer and closer to his dream.

……

Seeing Li Qi coming back, Dou Jiyan excitedly greeted him: "Seventh Brother, how is Qianliangfang?"

Li Banfeng wanted to tell Dou Ji Yan the result in a relatively tactful way, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a more tactful way of expression.

"To be precise, there is no Qianliangfang anymore." Li Banfeng briefly described the situation, and Dou Ji Yan sat on the ground in a daze.

She struggled to get up and wanted to go back to Qianliangfang to take a look. Li Banfeng handed the deed to her.

"You can bury the deed or start a new business somewhere else. If you encounter the foreigner Cuitik on your way back, try not to conflict with him."

Li Banfeng turned and left. Dou Jiyan asked, "Is there no place for gambling cultivators in this world?"

Li Banfeng turned around and said, "The only way to stay here is if you don't demolish your house."

……

After returning to Qiqiu City, Li Banfeng went to the laboratory.

The record player moved around the room, with Zhao Xiaowan's puppet placed next to it.

Suishenju checked the puppet and made sure that nothing had been done inside it before letting the phonograph player bring her out.

Some equipment is suitable for record player operation, while some equipment is more convenient to operate with puppets. My wife has been busy in the laboratory for several days and she is not tired at all.

"Husband, please allow me to study for two more days. I will be able to figure out a lot of things this time!" The lady entered the puppet and turned into the peerless Zhao Xiaowan.

The pendulum advised: "Madam, go home and have a rest. You have been too hard these days."

The record player raised the board and said, "Who is working hard, you or me, you bastard? You can't bear it anymore, right?"

Zhong Peng didn't dare to talk back, she really couldn't bear it anymore.

What is the quality of the record player? What is the basis of the pendulum? After days and nights of sleepless research, the pendulum would have collapsed long ago.

The Dreamby pendulum could speak. She came close to the record player and said in a low voice, "Madam, the master has worked hard these past two days. Now that he is back, he deserves a reward."

The record player didn't understand: "How to reward him? Make him a delicious meal?"

Meng De smiled and said, "Madam, you can't just make some food and drink. The master is hungry, not just hungry."

This time the record player understood and slapped Meng De hard: "You bastard, have you learned bad things from Hong Ying?"

Meng De rubbed it for a long time, and said with a wronged look: "Husband and wife should love each other like this, this is human nature."

The record player seemed to make sense, but halfway through the experiment I felt reluctant to give it up.

Meng De couldn't help feeling sleepy, so he advised again, "Madam, our master won't need much time."

The record player had just put down the equipment in his hand when he saw Li Banfeng packing up his things and getting ready to go out.

"Husband, where are you going?" The record player thought Li Banfeng was angry.

"My wife, please continue doing the experiment here. I'll go change the battery." Although a lot of battery packs had been prepared before, my wife had been doing experiments for several days in a row and 70% to 80% of the power had been used up. Li Banfeng had to go to the power station to get new batteries.

The record player quickly apologized: "My husband, I am ignorant. I will go home and serve you in a moment."

"Who said my wife is ignorant? Where can I find such a good wife? Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon!" Li Banfeng went to change the battery happily, leaving Mengde and Zhongbai sighing.

Two days later, the wife really came up with the results of her research: "My husband, I am still missing a magnetometer. If I have this device, I can make a good thing for you."

Li Banfeng looked at the photo of the magnetometer, and his wife found an introduction to this magnetometer in the notes of Teacher Song and Yu Yaoming.

But why was this magnetometer not found in Yu Yaoming's laboratory at that time?

Not only was there no such thing in Yu Yaoming's laboratory, but there was also no such thing in Du Wenming's imitation laboratory.

The wife said, "My husband, according to my guess, this device should be a new type, and neither Yu Yaoming nor Du Wenming had time to buy it."

Where should Li Banfeng buy such new equipment?
You definitely can’t buy it in Provence, so who can you find if you go out of state?
Looking for Lin Fojiao?

Li Banfeng himself found it ridiculous. How could one buy scientific research equipment on the black market?

I can't go to the black market. Where else can I go?
……

Yuezhou, Dark Star Bureau.

Shen Jingye drank tea and looked at the day's schedule.

Today's schedule is still very full. Shen Jingye is lamenting that time is so difficult to manage. He is considering postponing the afternoon meeting.

But the end of the year is almost here, and this meeting has been delayed from the beginning of the year to now. If it is not held now, it will be difficult to write the year-end summary.

But on second thought, even if the meeting did not take place, the secretary could still write the summary as if the meeting had taken place. In fact, the secretary may have already written the year-end summary, so whether the meeting was held or not would not have much impact on him.

However, if the traces left are not enough and there are handles in the subsequent inspection work, it will have a great impact on Shen Jingye.

While I was struggling, the phone rang.

"Xiao Shen, come to my office."

Shen Jingye sniffed and instantly felt less conflicted.

He canceled the afternoon meeting, came to the door of Li Qi's office, poked the corners of his mouth with his thumb and index finger, poke out a sincere smile, and then entered Li Qi's office.

"Director Li, you're finally back! During the days you were away, a lot of work didn't go smoothly at all."

"Xiao Shen, please take a seat first. What progress has been made in the bureau's key tasks during this period?"

Shen Jingye has a meeting with his superiors tomorrow and has just finished writing the report materials, which will be put to use now.

During this period, the Dark Star Bureau has made considerable progress. The influence of the Birch Tree Hermitage in Huanguo has been basically eliminated, their key personnel have been arrested one after another, and many spies planted in key areas have also been cleared out.

Li Banfeng highly praised Shen Jingye's work: "Xiao Shen, you did a good job. I called you here this time because I want you to help me find some clues.
During my time in Provo, I did a lot of research on Du Wenming, and I found that he had a lot of contacts with some scientific research institutions at home and abroad."

Shen Jingye nodded and said, "I have also investigated this matter. Yu Yaoming's scientific research equipment was taken away by Du Wenming. During his tenure, Du Wenming participated in the procurement of scientific research equipment many times. There are indeed suspicious points here."

Shen Jingye made two phone calls, first asking someone to turn off the surveillance in Li Qi's office, and then calling the secretary.

The secretary took two boxes of information and handed them to Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye handed the information box to Li Banfeng: "We have investigated several scientific research institutions that have had dealings with Du Wenming, and the relevant information is all inside."

Li Banfeng looked at the information of these companies, including addresses, contacts and phone numbers.

"Xiao Shen, you did a great job."

With this information, you will know who to go to buy a magnetometer.

There was also a data box. Li Banfeng asked, "What are these for?"

"This is the result of our investigation into the Birch Tree Priory. I asked my secretary to bring you some important information."

Li Banfeng opened the data box, and on the top of the box was a USB flash drive.

"What is this?"

"This is a recording. The original material is a record, and this is a copy. Please listen to it first."

Li Banfeng plugged in the computer and listened for a while. A man was speaking a foreign language.

Judging from the pronunciation, it should be Rafsha, and judging from the tone, the man seems very excited.

Li Banfeng frowned: "The noise is too loud, and many details are unclear."

Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "Old records are so old that the sound quality will definitely be damaged."

Li Banfeng listened for a while and couldn't help shaking his head: "Why didn't you process it when you were ripping it? The sound is blurry in many places."

Shen Jingye snorted: "Even if the sound is not blurry, can you understand Rafsha?"

Li Banfeng turned off the audio: "Then why are you listening to this for me?"

"There's a translation in the file box. You can listen to it accordingly."

Li Banfeng found the translation and read it through:
"Brave warriors, don't lower your heads, don't shed tears, don't cry, don't lose your fighting spirit because of fear. Maybe we will die here today, but the final victory will definitely belong to us.

Don't ask where the elders are, they have left here safely. Don't ask where the deacons are, they have left here safely. Don't ask why we have to stay here, because someone has to make sacrifices.

I smelled the scent of fireworks, and the mournful singing voice began to sound again. It was that woman, the woman surnamed Huang, the singer from hell. She appeared again.
She was singing opera, disgusting Protestant opera, the kind that doesn't deserve to be called opera at all, and to a hearing person it is unbearable torture and destruction,

Don't be afraid, warriors, we can defeat fear, we can defeat this demon from hell, we can send him back to hell, and we will definitely achieve the final victory. "

"Is this his last words?"

Shen Jingye nodded: "This person did not see the victory he wanted, and in fact, they did not achieve victory."

"Who is this guy?"

"Neri Asaf, an early member of the Birch Tree Hermitage and an eyewitness of the Second Puro War."

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "What is the Second Pro-Russian War?"

Shen Jingye was startled and quickly lowered his voice: "This is top secret information. I thought you knew that you might have a different name for it. We call the war that happened more than 40 years ago the Second Pro-Russian War."

PS: Was there a First Proto-Russian War?
