Lord of Puro

Chapter 669: Boundless City

call!
There was darkness within darkness, the two mountain ranges merged into one, and Li Banfeng was swallowed up by the valley.

The projector said that those were not two mountain ranges, but two lips. Until now, Li Banfeng still didn't feel what kind of mouth he had entered, but he sensed the direction, the time, and his own existence.

boom!
The bubble burst.

Li Banfeng, who was originally wrapped in bubbles, was soaked in water again.

With a splash, the water receded and Li Banfeng saw land.

He touched the land beneath his feet. It was hard, very hard. It must be rock that had been impacted by water for a long time. The surface was bumpy, but overall it was relatively flat.

Luo Shaojun said happily: "Wu Bian Cheng is still obedient. Sister called him a few times and he came to pick us up."

Luo Yujun panted and said, "If he hadn't come, we would have been crushed to death."

Luo Lijun coughed twice: "I've been shouting for several hours and my voice has become hoarse."

Luo Yanjun snorted: "When you were with Ma Junyang, you could shout for hours, and I never heard you say your voice was hoarse."

Luo Lijun hit Luo Yanjun with a stick, and Luo Shaojun asked curiously: "Sister, how did you yell to Ma Junyang? Teach me!"

Luo Lijun was about to hit Shaojun, but when she saw Li Banfeng standing next to her, she didn't dare to do it.

Li Banfeng looked at the five sisters in confusion. He didn't understand a word they said just now.

It’s not that what they said was complicated, but the current situation was difficult to understand.

Li Banfeng asked first: "Have we been swallowed by Wubian City?"

Luo Shaojun nodded: "Yes! Sister called Wubiancheng over and rescued us."

"Boundless City, is it a city?" Li Banfeng felt that there might be some problems in his understanding of cities.

"It is a city, a very big city," Luo Shaojun said proudly, "This is the city built by our Luo family. It is also the largest city in our Luo family's fiefdom."

Li Banfeng asked again: "Will this city move?"

Luo Lijun smiled and said, "Isn't Qiqiu City Mr. Li's territory? Isn't Qiqiu City going to move?"

"His is different..." Although Li Banfeng could not answer Luo Lijun's question for the time being, Qiqiu City and Wubian City were definitely two different things.

They should be two different things...

Li Banfeng looked at the surrounding environment. He could vaguely see mottled rocks in the darkness. Looking up, he could vaguely see dots of starlight.

You can still see stars in the belly of Boundless City. What exactly is this place?
Luo Yujun said: "Let's go quickly. Don't stay in his mouth all the time. If he drinks water later, we will be crushed to death."

Why does she always talk about being suppressed?

Li Banfeng asked, "Is the water pressure very high here?"

Luo Yanjun understood some scientific concepts on Earth: "Mr. Li, according to your calculations, the pressure at the place we were just now was almost equivalent to that of tens of thousands of meters under the sea."

Luo Shaojun asked Luo Yanjun: "Sister, is there such a deep sea in other states?"

Luo Yanjun frowned and said, "Girl, are you trying to argue? I'm just using a metaphor."

How deep the sea in Waizhou is is not the point. Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I didn't feel the water pressure was very strong just now."

Luo Yanjun said: "That's because Master Li was closest to the intersection and his body was invisible, so he was not harmed by the water pressure.

But the undercurrent was surging, and we sisters had to stay a little further away from the intersection. If it weren’t for the protection of the hard shell, we would definitely be seriously injured by the water pressure. "

Li Banfeng took some time to understand what Luo Yanjun meant.

They were at the entrance of the wormhole just now, and their physical condition changed, which is what Luo Yanjun said as turning into invisible.

Once you deviate from the entrance and your body becomes tangible, it will be difficult to resist the water pressure.

Luo Xiujun said: "I just waited for a few hours, and I thought Wubiancheng would not come. To be honest, I wanted to swim back."

What does a few hours mean?
Li Banfeng said, "We didn't seem to have waited too long, did we?"

Luo Yanjun explained again: "Around the intersection, the mind stagnated, and a few hours passed in a flash."

What she meant was that near a wormhole, people could not perceive the passage of time.

Li Banfeng took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

really.

According to the time shown by Mengde, more than ten hours had passed since they came out of the soda kiln.

Everyone walked forward along the slippery rocks. Lu Xiu's footsteps could adapt to all kinds of road conditions. Li Banfeng did not have a hard time walking, and the five sisters of the Luo family had even less difficulty walking. They were more adapted to the environment here, especially after transforming into snails, they could crawl quickly on the slippery ground.

"Seventh brother, come on me." Luo Shaojun put some rouge on his face and used his tentacles to pull Li Banfeng onto his back. Li Banfeng looked up and saw the sky full of stars again.

"We are in the body of the Boundless City, so why are there stars in the sky?"

Luo Shaojun said: "Seventh Brother, those are not stars, they are the eyes of Wubian City."

"The eyes are inside the body?"

Luo Shaojun said: "Boundless City was built by the ancestors of the Luo family, so it should be somewhat similar to the physique of the ancestors."

"The eyes of the Luo family ancestor grew inside his body?"

Luo Shaojun nodded and said, "Everyone in the Luo family has eyes in their bodies. Yesterday, a worm was making trouble in Sister Yujun's stomach. Sister Yujun found the worm with her eyes and pulled it out with the hands in her stomach."

Li Banfeng stared at Shaojun for a long time: "You actually have a hand in your stomach?"

Luo Shaojun smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, we are different from you Prozhou people. We have five senses in our stomachs, and you Prozhou people don't..."

Luo Yanjun also put on some rouge and coughed: "Little sister, your stomach is full of everything, don't forget that you still have ears. You keep saying Prozhou, and others will hear it."

Luo Lijun had just finished applying rouge and waved her tentacles, sensing the surroundings for a moment.

Luo Yujun took the rouge box and said, "What can I do if I hear it? Wubian City is still the territory of our Luo family after all."

Luo Yanjun said: "That may not be the case. From the day we were imprisoned, Wubian City no longer belongs to anyone."

Luo Xiujun put more powder on her face: "Although we were imprisoned, we went to the war with our titles. How could they seize our city so quickly if our titles were not taken away?"

Luo Yanjun gave an example: "People go up the mountain to hunt tigers, not because they bite people, nor because they look scary, but because some people want tiger bones, tiger meat and tiger skin. Don't you understand the logic here?"

Luo Yujun thought about it for a long time. This girl was so stubborn that she really didn't understand: "The Hu family is pretty good. Why beat them up?"

Luo Yanjun was too lazy to pay attention to her and said to Luo Lijun: "Sister, let's go find Hu Chihong as soon as possible. She may still be living in Wubian City."

Luo Xiujun said: "She is a scholar appointed by Sister Lijun. If she doesn't live here, where else can she live?"

Luo Yanjun didn't know what to say: "You two sisters are really stupid. Hu Chihong is now a favorite of Qiao Yi. If our Luo family falls, it's not impossible for them to move to Qiao Yi's fiefdom."

While the sisters were still arguing, Li Banfeng was busy looking at the scenery.

At first, it was pitch black all around and one could only see rocks and mud under his feet. After walking for about ten miles, Li Banfeng gradually saw some lights.

The light came from a bungalow with white walls and a round roof, like a big white bun hanging on the ground.

From a distance you don't feel how big this square is. Only when you get closer can you see that this large bungalow covers several dozen acres. People come in and out of the entrance of the bungalow from time to time.

From Nezho's perspective, these were indeed people, including octopuses walking on the ground, toads flying in the sky, and sparrows swimming along the pond, entering the house in groups of three or five.

Li Banfeng asked: "What is this house used for? It shouldn't be the kiln where you refine people, right?"

Luo Shaojun said, "Seventh Brother, what do you think of us? This is a restaurant. In Provo, you call this a coal yard."

This is still a closed coal yard. Li Banfeng peeked into the door and could vaguely see the pile of coal inside.

"Are you all here to eat?"

Luo Xiujun said: "We don't come here to eat, this is where common people eat."

Li Banfeng asked, "Aren't they all eating coal? Can this be eaten in different levels?"

Luo Yujun said: "We rarely eat coal, we usually eat grease. Grease is difficult to store here, so it is very precious."

Luo Xiujun said: "Even if I eat coal, I would not eat this kind of coal. This kind of coal has a lot of impurities, a lot of smoke, and the taste is not pure. If you eat a bite, you will feel sick for several days. Only common people come here to fill their stomachs. Scholars will not easily come to such a place."

Luo Yanjun coughed and said, "Stop talking."

She found that Li Banfeng had not spoken a word.

Li Banfeng was still looking into the coal yard. A worm, carrying a pile of cargo boxes on its back, passed by the coal yard and was also looking inside.

The worm was so engrossed in watching that it accidentally bumped into Luo Lijun.

Luo Lijun was excited and nervous to return to her hometown, and she became angry when she was hit by the worm.

"Are you blind! Don't you look at the road?" Luo Lijun pulled out a stick from the snail shell and hit the worm a few times. The worm didn't dare to dodge and lay on the ground, taking the beating obediently. The cargo box on its body fell off and scattered a little.

Luo Lijun raised the stick to hit again, but was stopped by Luo Yanjun.

Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun with cold eyes, and Luo Lijun quickly stopped.

Worm was shaking with fear. He wanted to pick up the boxes scattered on the ground, but he didn't dare to move.

Li Banfeng jumped down from Luo Shaojun's snail shell, picked up the cargo box on the ground, and put it back on the worm.

"How much does it cost to let him have a meal here?" Li Banfeng looked at everyone.

No one dared to answer, only Luo Shaojun spoke up: "He can't eat here, he is a slave."

Li Banfeng remained silent for a long time.

This is a common people's restaurant, and the Luo family never eats here.

But this servant was not qualified to eat here.

Li Banfeng looked at the worm carefully. This worm was very similar to the one he saw in Baishun County. It also had many holes on its body. These holes did not contain weapons such as hooks, but tools such as ropes and buckles.

Luo Shaojun took out a can of oil from the snail shell and gave it to Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, this is delicious."

Li Banfeng handed the grease to Worm, but Worm didn't dare to take it, so Li Banfeng forced it into his mouth.

Back on Luo Shaojun's back, Li Banfeng continued on his journey.

The worm was still watching silently.

He hid the grease in a hole in his body, raised half of his body, and kept looking at Li Banfeng's back.

Luo Lijun explained: "Mr. Li, I was a little out of control just now. Every place has its own customs. In Da Shang, it is common to punish slaves."

Li Banfeng said nothing.

Luo Lijun added: "I will definitely exercise restraint in the future. I know our customs are different." Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun and said: "I have carried a big bag before. Do you know what it means to carry a big bag?"

Luo Yanjun said: "I know that in Pro Province, there are also many people who make a living by selling their labor, but that is different. It is really different from the slaves..."

Li Banfeng nodded: "I know it's different, Prostate is indeed different."

Luo Yanjun wanted to change the subject: "Hu Chihong lives on Zuojiu Street. Let's go and see if we can find her."

The regional division of Wubian City is very simple. The definition of the so-called Zuojiu Street is simple and direct.

Li Banfeng and others were swallowed in from the head of Wubian City. Facing the head, the ninth street on the left is Zuojiu Street.

On the way to Zuojiu Street, Li Banfeng saw a teahouse, a hotel, a theater, and a theatre.

Everything that is available in Pro Province can also be found in Wubian City. Luo Xiujun is quite knowledgeable about the market: "Mr. Li, if you like, I will bring you to the theater some other day.
A few days ago, a famous actress came to this place. She was a sewing machine, singing the role of a female lead. Her singing style and skills were impeccable.

Li Banfeng was confused. How could a sewing machine perform an opera? If you asked him to make a sewing machine play the gongs and drums, he would understand.

What Li Banfeng doesn’t understand even more is what the identity of the sewing machine is?
"Do people in Nevada still have such pure machines?"

Luo Lijun didn't want to answer because some words might touch Li Banfeng's nerves.

Luo Shaojun whispered, "In fact, they are also slaves, slaves from Pro Province. Their bodies are gone, only their souls are left. What kind of shells they put on their souls depends on the arrangements of their masters."

Li Banfeng's expression became more solemn, and Luo Shaojun didn't dare to say much. They entered Zuojiu Street and walked towards Hu Chihong's residence.

There were more and more pedestrians on the road. Li Banfeng was very curious. Why didn't the pedestrians here notice the five sisters of the Luo family who were walking so blatantly on the street?

"Are we being too ostentatious?"

Luo Shaojun understood what Li Banfeng meant: "Seventh Brother, don't worry, the us they see is different from the us you see."

Li Banfeng didn't understand: "How is it different?"

"We have no sunlight here for many years. We can't see many things clearly with our eyes alone. So we use our noses and ears as well as our eyes to see.
We used rouge on our bodies before, and the smell of our bodies changed. The way they looked at us also changed. When I look at Sister Yujun now, she actually looks like a rabbit, Sister Yanjun looks like an otter, and Sister Lijun looks like..."

Shaojun's voice became lower and lower, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Li Jun snorted: "Just say what you want to say. Anyway, you can say whatever you should or shouldn't say."

"Okay, then I'll tell you, Sister Lijun looks like a water snake, Sister Xiujun looks like a fish, and I look like a toad with a little toad on my back!"

Li Banfeng snorted: "Little Toad, is that me?"

Xiujun looked at Shaojun and said, "Silly girl, do you know what a toad carrying a toad is doing?"

Luo Shaojun blushed and seemed to understand nothing, but in fact, what she said was very important. It not only pointed out their means of disguise, but also pointed out a weakness of the people of Neizhou: their sense of smell would interfere with their vision.

Arriving at the gate of a house, Luo Yujun went forward and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, the two tall doors slowly opened.

The buildings here are huge, ridiculously large, especially in the dark, with not-so-bright lights, these huge buildings will bring a strong sense of oppression.

“What would it look like if these buildings weren’t so big?”

Luo Shaojun was surprised and said, "We are big to begin with. If this building is not big enough, it won't be able to accommodate us!"

"Yes." Li Banfeng smiled. What he said just now was not directed to Shaojun, but to the projector.

The projector was looking for a shooting angle and he found that this place was somewhat similar to the dungeon.

Luo Yanjun was negotiating with the gatekeeper. Hu Chihong was a scholar. Although his status was not high among the aristocracy, not everyone could see him.

Luo Yanjun claimed to be Hu Chihong's fellow villager. He talked to the disciple for a long time and gave him a lot of silver before the disciple agreed to inform him.

Li Banfeng said: "So your currency is also silver."

Luo Xiujun said: "What do you mean by also? Let's make this clear. We were the first to use the silver. You guys learned it from us!"

After waiting for a while, the doorman let everyone in. Hu Chihong used the shapeshifting technique to transform into a woman in red. She sat in the living room and stared at everyone. "Who are you?"

She didn't even recognize the Luo sisters!
Luo Lijun asked someone to bring a basin of clean water, washed her face with the water, and her original scent emanated from her body.

Hu Chihong hurried forward and saluted: "My lord, you are back!"

Luo Xiujun said: "Washing your face in front of others means taking off all disguises and being honest with each other. This is also considered a high etiquette."

Everyone washed their faces, and Li Banfeng jumped off Luo Shaojun's back and left the range of the aura's influence.

Hu Chihong saluted one by one and called Li Banfeng "Your Highness" very solemnly.

"Your Highness, did the banquet between you and Master Qiao Yi go smoothly?"

"Don't call me the crown prince, call me something else," Li Banfeng said, "Master Qiao Yi and I haven't met yet."

"Haven't met yet?" Hu Chihong was very surprised. "I heard that Lord Qiao had already prepared the ceremonial procession and was waiting for His Highness Li Qi in Chaoge. Why did His Highness come to Wubian City?"

Li Banfeng frowned slightly: "You were the one who coordinated the matter. Don't you know whether I went to Chaoge or not?"

He suspected that Hu Chihong was pretending to be confused.

Hu Chihong shook his head and said, "Ever since His Highness Li Qi agreed to the appointment, Master Qiao Yi has not allowed me to have any contact with His Highness Li Qi."

"What is the reason?"

Hu Chihong was not in a position to speak out, so Luo Shaojun said for her: "This is the usual practice of the royal family. They do not allow one person to play too much of a role in a particular matter.

Especially Hu Chihong, she used to be a staff member of the Luo family, and this matter is closely related to the Luo family, so Qiao Yi naturally has to be more cautious with her, and he must replace her halfway through the use."

Li Banfeng recalled his experience in the Dark Star Bureau: "I am familiar with this routine. Qiao Yi arranged a ceremonial guard to welcome me, but why didn't he inform me in advance?"

Hu Chihong said: "No need to inform, this..."

Halfway through her words, she stopped talking.

These people are not helpful. If they were all like Shaojun, a lot of trouble could be saved.

Shaojun explained: "We sisters naturally understand the etiquette. Logically, we should take Seventh Brother directly to Chaoge, but Sister doesn't trust Lord Qiao, so she wants to return to her own territory first."

"This matter..." Hu Chihong looked at Luo Lijun.

Luo Lijun nodded slightly, understanding Hu Chihong's meaning: "Wubian City is no longer our Luo family's territory. Who is the owner here now?"

Hu Chihong explained: "To be more specific, he is not an outsider. Chaoge just issued an imperial edict to grant Wubian City to the Bao family. The one who was granted this place was originally a son of the Luo family."

Luo Shaojun exclaimed, "Are you talking about Brother Yingjun?"

Hu Chihong nodded slightly, not knowing whether he should be happy about this.

Luo Yujun and Luo Xiujun didn't say anything because they were not familiar with Luo Yingjun.

Luo Yanjun roughly understood the situation, but it was difficult to say it out loud. Luo Shaojun was still telling Li Banfeng about Luo Yingjun's origins: "Seventh brother, I told you before that I have a brother who turned into a leopard when he was fifteen years old..."

Li Banfeng remembered this person. Because he failed to transform into a snail, he was forced to leave the Luo family. However, the Bao family was also a local vassal, so this person retained his status as a minister.

Why was he able to take over Wubian City?

Luo Lijun made things clear herself: "Does he think that if he had not transformed into an outsider when he was fifteen, Wubian City should have been handed over to him, and the family's title should have been handed over to him?"

Hu Chihong said nothing. It was not her place to make any comment.

Luo Lijun laughed and said, "We three sisters just recovered from the illness, and we didn't dare to tell anyone. We were afraid of causing trouble, so we even drew the rash on our bodies. But who would have thought that this action would be spread to Chaoge in a blink of an eye.
I was wondering who told Chaoge about this. It turns out there is a traitor in the family. It seems that many people in our family still have contact with Yingjun."

Luo Shaojun asked: "Sister, what should we do? Should we stay in Wubian City?"

"Why not stay?" Luo Lijun sneered, "I asked Wubiancheng to pick us up at the intersection, and he came to pick us up. Wubiancheng still listens to me after all. Baoyingjun has no ability to control Wubiancheng at all."

Luo Yanjun reminded: "Sister, when Yingjun was twelve years old, he once controlled Wubian City and went to Chaoge to pick up his father. He has the ability to control Wubian City, and he is not inferior to..."

Luo Yanjun was halfway through her words when Luo Shaojun completed her sentence: "Sister, Brother Yingjun is no worse than you!"

Luo Lijun was about to get angry when Li Banfeng suddenly felt danger approaching.

He turned around and looked towards the Chuihua Gate, but saw a worm standing in front of the gate, carrying a few boxes on its back and looking inside.

The Chuihua Gate is the passage between the front yard and the main courtyard. How did this bug get to the Chuihua Gate? Where is the gatekeeper?
Li Banfeng recognized the worm.

The worm looked at Li Banfeng and seemed to recognize him.

Luo Shaojun stopped Li Banfeng and said, "Seventh Brother, don't go yet. You are not familiar with Dashang. You will suffer if you go."

The worm shook itself, and the boxes all over it fell to the ground.

The parts in the cargo box were scattered all over the floor and then quickly put together.

Li Banfeng was very familiar with these parts, including the stylus, tray, spring, gears, and a record.

Yanjun, Yujun and Xiujun immediately rushed forward and tried to stop the parts from assembling, but they were beaten all over by the gears and springs and had to retreat.

Fortunately, their shells are hard. Without the protection of their shells, these three snails would have died.

The parts were assembled into a record player, and the worm wound it up and started playing music.

"Bang, bang, hey!"

After the gongs and drums, the erhu started to play, and the sound was extremely harsh.

Yanjun, Yujun and Xiujun rushed forward again, and with a series of crisp sounds, the shells of these three people were cracked by the sound of the music.

The snail shell that could withstand 20,000 meters of water pressure was shattered just like that!
Shaojun's shell was about to crack, and Li Banfeng rushed forward, relying on his quick hands, and quickly grabbed the needle of the record player, trying to take the record off the tray.

The record seemed to have come to life, sticking tightly to the tray, and Li Banfeng was unable to take it down.

The Tang sword was immediately unsheathed and chopped at the record.

Sparks flew everywhere, and Tang Dao said in astonishment: "It didn't cut off..."

The record had a few scratches on it, but it was still spinning rapidly on the tray.

The stylus needle was covered with sharp spikes, forcing Li Banfeng to let go.

Li Banfeng had just let go of the stylus when a singing voice came into his ears.

"Ma Da Jiang Hai was pushed out to be beheaded, and his head was hung on a high pole. When Huang Pao was beheaded, tears rolled down his cheeks. In the Battle of Taiping, the cannons blasted three times, and the bloody head rolled on the side of the road. In the Zhulian Village, the drums were beaten three times, and Cai Yang's head fell in front of the horse."

While singing, Li Banfeng's body began to tremble.

The five sisters of the Luo family, plus Hu Chihong, were shaking all over, as if they were about to break along with their shells.

Is this the weapon of Nevada?

PS: If that worm attacks on the roadside, the consequences will be disastrous.
