Lord of Puro

Chapter 600: Road to Fool's City

Li Banfeng officially became an entry-level practitioner of Feng Xiu and now opened his own business.

To be honest, he was unsure. He had never heard of anyone with four levels of cultivation. If one of the levels of cultivation backfired, Li Banfeng would not know how to deal with it.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, I still have a lot of Daomen on me. If I had known that we still had to apply medicine powder on this Daomen, I would have definitely thought about it carefully. The backlash of cultivation is not easy to deal with."

Ayi asked, "You have three or four levels on the cloud, right? You don't have to worry when you reach this level."

Li Banfeng was quite surprised: "At this level, there will be no backlash?"

Ai Yi said with a smile: "Brother, just rest assured, there will definitely be a backlash."

"Sister, I'm not looking forward to backlash..."

"Don't worry, our sect is very gentle, and the cultivators on the cloud are very strong. Even if they are attacked, they will not lose their lives."

"Is this door still gentle?" Li Banfeng laughed bitterly, "Will the consequence of the backlash be madness?"

"Going crazy is a good thing! The crazier we are, the higher our cultivation will be, so there is no need to worry about the backlash.

Brother, we don’t have to worry about anything in the future. The key to our Taoism is to never be too serious about things you don’t want to do, and never wait for things you want to do. If you learn these two sentences, you can lay a solid foundation for Taoism.”

"Just these two sentences?"

"Don't underestimate these two sentences. There may not be a single person in our Taoist sect who has truly understood these two sentences."

"Not even one?" Li Banfeng looked at Ayi.

Ayi nodded seriously: "Even if I am the founder of Taoism, there is not a single one. You don't know the difficulty here because you don't know the deep meaning of these two sentences.

Originally, you should have stayed in the village for ten or eight years, but you insisted on leaving. Now there are only three days left. Even if you are talented, I don’t know how much you can understand in these three days.
This is your own decision. I never worry about other people's affairs. How you practice in the future depends on your luck."

……

The next morning, Li Banfeng followed Ayi to Huluduzi.

Inside the gourd lives the person who signed the contract.

These people lived in three villages respectively. The first village was called Buwu Village.

After entering Buwu Village, Li Banfeng saw a girl in her twenties sitting at the door of a house wiping her tears.

Ayi introduced the girl to Li Banfeng.

Her name is Ami. She lives in the countryside. Her father went to the city to work, earned money, and found another woman to live with.

After receiving the news, her mother remarried and left her and her younger brother to the care of her elderly grandfather.

My grandfather went out to gamble and got beaten up and his legs were broken. He couldn't get out of bed and needed a large amount of medical expenses.

My younger brother got into a fight with someone and was sentenced to three years in prison. He has not been released yet and our family is facing a large amount of compensation.

She had to shoulder all these things by herself. She worked three jobs and used all the money she earned to pay off her debts. She was reluctant to buy new clothes at twenty dollars a piece, but no matter how much she saved, she could not fill such a big hole.

A friend introduced her to a job that could make money quickly. When she made up her mind to do it, Ayun took her to Hulu Village.

It was her blessing to have a place where she could get away from everything outside.

After living in Huluyao for half a month, it was time to decide whether to stay or leave.

According to the rules of Hulu Village, she had two choices: either stay in Hulu Village and practice well, or leave Hulu Village and never come back.

Ami chose to stay. She really didn't want to go back and face that kind of life, but after living here for more than a year, she would cry at least once a day.

She couldn't let go of either her grandfather or her younger brother.

Seeing the village chief coming, Ami quickly wiped her tears, lowered her head, and stood at the door.

Ayi had a gloomy face and scolded Ami: "You are useless. You just cry every day. If you keep crying like this, how can we harvest anything from the fields?"

Ami didn't dare to speak, and a shadow appeared behind Li Banfeng.

He put the shadow back with great difficulty and asked Ayi sincerely: "What does her crying have to do with the harvest?"

Ayi glared at Li Banfeng and said, "Isn't it obvious? She cries like this every day, so her tears must have flowed into the fields."

Li Banfeng still didn't understand: "What does shedding tears in the fields have to do with the harvest?"

"It's a big deal! Tears are all salt water. If you use salt water to irrigate the land, how can crops grow? Look at Hulutou's land, it has a full harvest all year round. Look at her land, how much food can she harvest in a year?"

Isn't this right?

"How much grain you harvest this year depends on your farming methods, right?"

Ayi shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as farming cultivation. This is just crazy cultivation."

"Can a crazy cultivator determine the growth of crops?"

"Of course you can. This is one of the three great skills of our Taoist sect, called A bumper harvest. But brother, your cultivation is still in its infancy. I'm afraid you can't learn this skill yet."

Many of Feng Xiu's methods were difficult for Li Banfeng to understand, but the girl Ami was indeed going to starve. She worked very hard, but the harvest from the fields had always been poor, and the rice jar was empty.

"Anyway, she hasn't entered the Taoist sect, so I shouldn't care about her. Let her cry here until she dies!" Ai turned and left.

The village head's wife pushed the cart and took the opportunity to enter the yard and put a bag of sweet potatoes next to Ami's wall.

Ami waved his hands quickly and said, "Uncle, please stop giving me food. The village chief will scold you again."

The village chief's wife smiled and said, "Child, save it for food. The village chief scolded me because she loves me and she doesn't want you to starve."

Not long after, Amu carried two loads of fish, left two for Ami, and gave the others to other families.

The more Ayi watched, the angrier she became: "The people in Buwu Village are the most useless. They all have to rely on others for support. They can't even let go of the things in their hearts, and they still talk about cultivation? We shouldn't have left them in Hulu Village in the first place! Our Taoist sect can't tolerate such useless people!"

Li Banfeng thought that everyone who entered the gourd had become a crazy cultivator, but the reality was not so.

There are more than 500 villagers in Buwu Village. Some of them have just come to the village, while some have been here for more than ten years. None of them are eligible to get Feng Xiu's medicine powder because they have something on their mind and they can't let it go.

Walking on the village road of Buwu Village, Li Banfeng could always hear some crying sounds. What color were these crying sounds, were they of guilt or helplessness, perhaps even the projector could not tell clearly.

Seeing the village chief walking away, Ami sat in the yard and started crying secretly again.

Li Banfeng suddenly appeared at the gate of the yard. Ami quickly stood up and wiped away her tears.

She heard the village chief calling this man "brother" and knew that this man was not an ordinary person. But it was not easy to hold back her tears. Ami took a breath and her whole body trembled.

Li Banfeng asked, "Do you miss your brother and grandfather?"

Ami nodded.

"How were they doing while you were with them?"

Hearing this, Ami felt even more upset, and with tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Not good."

Li Banfeng nodded and directly put the cause and effect together: "It's because you are with them that they are not living well."

Amy was stunned. What Li Banfeng said was a bit infuriating.

Li Banfeng added: "Now that you are not with them, they will live well."

Ami's face turned pale, and these words made him even more angry.

She wanted to argue with Li Banfeng, but she was not good at speaking and didn't know what to say.

By the time she figured out what to say, Li Banfeng had already gone far away.

Ami was so angry that she wanted to cry, but after trying for a long time, no tears came out.

Why are you crying? Aren’t people living well?

Amy fetched a basin of water and washed her face. Her eyes were badly swollen and looked a little ugly.

It's ugly so what? You eat someone else's sweet potato today and someone else's salted fish tomorrow. You've become a beggar. Do you still care about whether it's ugly or not?
The more Ami thought about it, the more upset she felt. She remembered that the village chief gave her a box of powder last month. She took it out and put some on her face.

It seems like I applied too much powder, my face is a little too white.

Just keep it white, as long as it looks pleasing to the eye.

Ami carried a hoe and went to work in the fields.

Why do I put on powder while doing farm work? If others see me, will they think I'm crazy?
It’s okay to be crazy, as long as I feel comfortable, isn’t that enough?

……

The next morning, Li Banfeng went to the second village, Kaiwu Village. There were two men playing chess at the entrance of the village.

A man was not very good at chess. After losing a game, he pestered his opponent for another game.

The man opposite smiled and said, "I'm not taking advantage of you. When I pestered my dad to play chess, I was in exactly the same posture as you just now."

"Do you still miss your dad?"

"Yes, I still think of him sometimes."

"Do you want to see him?"

"No, I will never see him again in this life."

The two continued playing chess. There were more than 200 villagers in Kaiwu Village. These villagers were originally from Buwu Village. Because they let go of the things in their hearts and had a certain level of enlightenment, they got the medicine powder and began to truly practice, but the degree of their practice was uneven.

Each person's level of accomplishment could be judged by the crops in the fields: some families had a lot of surplus, while others barely had enough to eat, but none of them needed help from others.

Li Banfeng walked around the farmland and confirmed the fact that the growth of crops was indeed related to the crazy cultivator's cultivation level.

But there is one thing that Li Banfeng has not found the reason for. In Kaiwu Village, he only saw young and middle-aged people. The oldest was only around fifty years old. He did not see any elderly people.

There are many elderly people in Buwu Village. Could it be that none of these elderly people have entered Kaiwu Village?

Or in other words, did those old people become younger after becoming enlightened?

"Sister, does our sect still have the technique to change age?"

Ayi smiled and said, "We in the Dao sect have all kinds of skills."

Li Banfeng bowed deeply: "Sister, I want to learn this."

Ayi stopped smiling and said seriously, "Brother, this is one of the three most powerful skills in our sect. Do you really want to learn it?"

“I really want to learn!”

"Have you let go of everything in your heart?"

“All put down.”

"Brother, your cultivation is still in its infancy. I'm afraid you won't be able to learn!"

Are you trying to fool me with this again?

"Sister, please teach me the skills first, and then I will practice slowly later." Li Banfeng insisted on learning.

Ayi first taught Li Banfeng how to meditate: "I will now teach you the essentials. You must listen carefully. First, put everything in front of you behind you, and then put all your worries aside. When your thoughts are empty, you can feel the passage of time. When your mind is clear, you can understand the changes of life."

Li Banfeng sat for more than an hour, letting his thoughts completely calm down: "Sister, I put aside the trivialities in my heart and realized the changes of time and vicissitudes."

"Okay, I knew you had this kind of understanding! Our Taoist techniques require a very high state of mind. Now recite the name of the technique loudly with me, Crazy Cultivation Technique, I want to be immortal!"

"I want..." Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ayi, "Sister, did you make up this technique just now?"

"Nonsense! How can you possibly learn any technique with your current state of mind?" Ayi was very angry. "I told you this is one of the three great techniques of our Dao Sect, and this is your attitude? And you said I made it up? I made it up last night!"

……

On the third day, Li Banfeng followed Ayi to the third village, Chewu Village.

There were less than a hundred villagers in the village, and they were holding a grand banquet. The young men set up an arena and wrestled on it, while the girls wore garlands and danced beside the arena.

Li Banfeng asked Ayi: "What kind of good day is this?"

Ah Yun said mysteriously, "Don't tell anyone about this. The old sow at Ah Chai's house gave birth to twelve piglets!"

Li Banfeng was stunned and asked, "Is this worth being so happy about?"

"Then tell me, what is there to be happy about?"

Li Banfeng was quite disdainful: "There are so many happy things, what does a piglet count for?"

Ai smiled, put on the garland and danced with the girls.

Although I don't know how old she is, she looks as young as those girls.

In the whole Chewu Village, everyone is very young. Their cultivation has reached a certain level. After a while, they will leave the gourd belly and live in the gourd head. Li Banfeng sat aside and watched the fun. So many people celebrated for the twelve piglets. He really couldn't understand the reason.

Ayun was afraid that Li Qi would feel bored, so she brought a jar of wine and wanted to have a drink with Li Qi. She walked for a long time with the jar of wine but couldn't find Li Qi.

"Have you seen Li Qi?"

Amu pointed to the stage: "It's over there. He's won six games in a row. He's really a good player."

Li Banfeng was wrestling on the stage. He drank when he won and drank when he lost. Li Banfeng didn't know how many wins he had made, nor did he know how much he had drunk.

At noon the next day, Li Banfeng woke up and drank a bowl of rice wine to relieve his hangover. Then Li Banfeng followed Ayi back to Hulutou.

Today is the day he leaves the village, and Zhang Peiwen leaves with him.

Ayi allowed Zhang Peiwen to leave the village: "I am a fair person. I gave Li Qi an allowance once, and I have to give you one too. You two can go now."

Li Banfeng was an entry-level practitioner of Crazy Cultivation. Ai trusted him and did not make any demands on him.

But Zhang Peiwen is not a cultivator, so he must sign another contract to guarantee that he will not disclose anything related to Hulu Village after he leaves.

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

Li Banfeng asked Ayi: "Do you trust him so much?"

Ayi shook her head and said, "I don't trust him, but I trust my contract. If they violate the contract, they will be severely punished. They will die before they can tell me what happened in Hulu Village.

My contract can also allow them to avoid interrogation, so even if they meet Dexiu, they won’t be able to get a single truth out of them.”

No wonder the Dark Star Bureau had interrogated many survivors before but failed to get the truth out of them.

I have never heard of a deed that can escape Dexiu's control.

Ayi introduced: "This is one of the three major techniques of our Taoism, called "Pencil Becomes True". The key to the technique is..."

"Wait a minute, before there were Killing Fools, Good Harvest, I Want Immortality, and now there is another one called Make Your Pen Come True. Why are there four of the three major techniques?"

Ayi counted on his fingers twice and said seriously, "This is one of the four great skills of our Taoism. It comes true when you put pen to paper..."

Zhang Peiwen held the deed, still hesitating whether to sign it or not.

"They say that once you leave Hulu Village, you can never come back. Is this true?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "It's true. The village chief is the one who sticks to his word. As for numbers above three, he may not be sure."

Zhang Peiwen lowered his head and said, "It's okay if I don't come back. Who would want to come to a place like this? There are crazy people everywhere. I just want to go home every day."

Although he said this, he never signed his name on the deed.

Li Banfeng asked: "Can you tell me who that taxi driver is?"

"He..." Zhang Peiwen hesitated.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him. Tell me in the village. Even if it's something that happened in the village, I will never mention it outside."

There was no problem with the logic, and Zhang Peiwen also thought it was no problem. He lowered his voice and said, "He was my high school classmate. I was admitted to university, but he dropped out of school because of family reasons.

Last month, he recognized me on the street and we chatted for a while. He knew that my life was... a little special.
We chatted for a while longer and came home ten minutes late. My mom looked for me everywhere and almost called the police.

We had no contact since then. Then one day, I bought medicine for my mother and just came out of the pharmacy, and I happened to meet him on the roadside.

He stopped the car, opened the window, and said to me, "Look behind you, there's something good.

I looked behind me and I saw two beautiful girls.
I was hesitant about whether to go, and he told me, go quickly, it's a good place, don't come back once you go."

What a smart taxi driver, he must have been to Hulu Village.

Zhang Peiwen picked up the pen, his hands shaking a little: "I don't know if this is a good place, but I have to go home."

Before he put pen to paper, Li Banfeng took the deed away.

He took out another deed, which was the one that Ah Yun had given him:
An outsider named XX voluntarily came to Hulu Village, lived in the village for half a month, and decided where to go by himself.

"Sign this and go live in Huluyao for half a month."

Zhang Peiwen's hands were shaking: "I can't..."

"you can."

"My mother is sick and needs my care."

"She's not sick. The medicine she takes is not for treating illness."

"She can't live without me."

"Don't worry, she can survive because she can't bear to die."

Zhang Peiwen held the pen, looked at Li Banfeng and asked, "Really?"

"real."

Zhang Peiwen, who had been struggling here for more than ten days, signed the contract, pressed his bloody handprint, and followed Ayun to Huluyao.

Ayi smiled: "This kid has been lying here and refusing to sign the contract. He just wants to drag it out. I don't know what's the point of him dragging it out like this."

Li Banfeng understands Zhang Peiwen's feelings very well: "He wants to find an excuse for himself, an excuse to stay here. He will say that it was not his decision, he did not abandon his mother, he had no choice."

Ayi sighed and said, "Look how much they like the village. Look at you, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Sister, if you don't leave now, I won't be able to bear to leave." Li Banfeng stood on the 26th floor of a building, overlooking the entire village.

Ayi took off a jade pendant from her neck and put it on Li Banfeng's neck, saying with a smile: "I know you still have things to do outside, but you must remember the way back."

"Sister, there is only one Hulu Village. How many roads are there to lead into the village?" Li Banfeng did not forget the purpose of his coming here.

Ai thought about it carefully and said, "I can't even count how many roads we have built. Maybe there are more than the roads leading to Fool City."

The previous speculation was correct. The situation in Hulu Village was indeed similar to that in Fool's City.

"Sister, did you build the road to Fool City?"

"It's me," Ayi admitted, "I built many roads into Fool City, but usually only one road is accessible, and the other roads are blocked. Which road is accessible is up to Sun Tiecheng."

Ayi also recognized Sun Tiecheng!

Ayi and Fool City have intersections!
Think about what Jiu Guniang said before. Suishenju didn’t know the origin of Hulu Village, but Jiuer knew it. Jiuer was Sun Tiecheng’s daughter, which proved that Jiuer and Ayi were old acquaintances.

"That is to say, the situation in Calabash Village is the same as that in Fool City. There are also many roads. It is up to my sister to decide which road is unobstructed."

"It's different," Ayi shook her head, "I made a key for Hulu Village. As long as you have the key, you can open the door to the village."

Li Banfeng touched the jade pendant on his chest and said, "Is this the key?"

Ai nodded: "I trust you, so I gave the key to you."

"How do I use this key?"

"I'm afraid you can't let go of what's on your mind, but if you can forget what's happening right now and want to come back and stay for a few days, this key can help you open the door to the village."

Li Banfeng bowed deeply and asked, "Sister, you were able to build so many roads for Hulu Village. Did you use one of the five major techniques of our Taoism? I really want to learn this."

Ayi shook her head and said: "This is not our Taoist technique, this is a craftsmanship technique, you can't learn it.

Among the hundreds of sects in the world, Crazy Cultivation and Foolish Cultivation belong to the most special category. This kind of sect can accommodate other sects, but other sects are difficult to be compatible with each other.
When I fought with you before, I found that you have a talent for arrow cultivation, but you'd better not cultivate arrow cultivation at the same time, and don't cultivate other sects at the same time. The barriers between the sects are strict, and the bitter consequences of backlash are not easy to bear. Brother, take care of yourself. "

……

Ayi led Li Banfeng out of Hulu Village. When they reached the end of the mountain road, Ayi smiled sweetly and sang a folk song:
"Brother Lang, the horsetail flowers on the mountain are blooming.
Brother Lang, please walk slower~Pick another flower for your sister.

Standing on the petals, sister is waiting for you to come back.
Brother Lang, please come back soon, don’t wait until the flowers wither…”

Ayi's singing voice gradually faded away, and the surrounding scenery gradually faded. When Ayi's singing voice completely disappeared, the scenery of Hulu Village also disappeared.

Li Banfeng returned to the entrance of the cinema. This section of the road was still closed and there were Dark Star Bureau agents monitoring nearby.

While the agents were not noticing, Li Banfeng left the street, returned to his residence, and entered Suishenju.

After resting for a while in the house, Li Banfeng's understanding of the crazy cultivator was still vague. Ayi's state was too abstract, and he couldn't tell which words were true and which were crazy.

Li Banfeng went to Room 9: "Jiu'er, you knew Ayi before, right?"

"Yes, she is my sister."

"What kind of person is she?"

"She has been crazy ever since I can remember. At that time, she always wanted to create her own Taoist sect. After she had her own Taoist sect, she wanted to compete with Sun Tiecheng for the title of the world's number one Taoist sect. The two of them were always fighting."

"Isn't Sun Tiecheng your father?"

"Yes," said the Ninth Girl, who did not want to mention her father, and continued to talk about Ayi, "After she was defeated by Sun Tiecheng, she left Purozhou and built Hulu Village.

I stayed in Hulu Village for some time, but the people there were too crazy, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I moved out again.

Later I heard from my mother that she ate the wrong food when she was pregnant, so Ayi was born a lunatic..."

"Wait a minute!" Li Banfeng interrupted Ninth Girl, "Your mother ate the wrong food, why did Ayi become crazy?"

"Because she was born to my mother."

Li Banfeng sorted out his thoughts and asked again: "Aren't you also born by your mother?"

"Yes!"

"You two are born of the same mother, so why is she your sister?"

Jiuer explained: "She said that we have a deep relationship and should become sworn brothers, so I became sworn brothers with her. She is the second sister and I am the third sister."

"Who is the eldest sister?"

"My mother."

Li Banfeng didn't speak for a long time.

Jiuer explained further: "We wanted Sun Tiecheng to be the eldest brother, but he didn't agree."

Shadow stood up from under his feet and sat side by side with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng sighed: "How did Brother Sun survive all those years?"

Shadow also sighed, looked at Li Banfeng and said, "I always thought you were crazy, but actually you're a pretty good person."

After leaving the Ninth Room, Li Banfeng was a little confused. Seeing him staggering, Hong Ying stepped forward to support him and said, "Qilang, are you hurt?"

Sui Shen Ju gave some advice: "Ah Qi, you can't use common sense to infer the affairs of the crazy cultivators. Don't take it to heart."

Scythe said, "It's not okay to ignore it. Ah Qi is now a crazy cultivator and must practice according to their rules."

The projector thought about it carefully and said, "Director Qi, if you make some achievements in crazy cultivation, will you become sworn brothers with our wife?"

Hong Ying kicked the projector and said, "You bastard! Can't you speak?"

Li Banfeng smiled bitterly: "What's the use of just talking? Things have come to this..."

No matter who comforted him, it was useless. Li Banfeng went to Qiqiu City in a daze. When he arrived at the laboratory, his wife's experiment was almost successful.

"My husband, what's wrong with you? You look distracted."

"Madam, I went to a strange place and met a strange person. She and her sister were sworn brothers, and the eldest sister is her biological mother..."

Li Banfeng spoke a lot of incoherent words, and the record player hugged Li Banfeng: "My husband, what happened? Don't be anxious, talk to me slowly."

"My dear, if one day I go crazy, what will you do?"

The record player smiled and said, "What if you're crazy? You're still my crazy man. I'll still love you."

"My dearest baby, you are suddenly in front of me. I am short of breath and moved for you. I hope you can notice and give me a string of love in return..." The lady sang the song "My Darling Baby".

Li Banfeng lay in his wife's arms, looking up at her, the worry on his face gradually disappearing.

"My husband, I promised to give you a good thing, and it will be finished soon." The lady moved to the puppet and pushed a piece of equipment over.

Li Banfeng took a look at the device and found that its overall shape was a bit like a cannon.

"What is this thing for? Isn't it the same as the magnetic shock cannon?"

"It's different. This thing should be able to build a passage across the boundary, but it's hard to say whether it will work or not."

PS: Among the hundreds of sects in the world, which ones are the most special?
