Lord of Puro

Chapter 672 Who is it?

Li Banfeng held the handkerchief and said, "Jiang Ling'er."

In Yucui Tower, a woman agreed.

Who promised this?

Li Banfeng stood up and searched around.

The gloves trembled for a moment, and he spit out a long sword: "Boss, this place is so creepy, take this with you, the Tang sword is useless after three cuts, use this to defend yourself."

Li Banfeng took the long sword. The weapon was not big but heavy. Li Banfeng swung it twice and asked, "I don't know how to use a sword. How do I use this thing?"

This question stumped Gloves, as he didn't know how to use the weapons from Neizhou.

Li Banfeng walked to the second floor holding a sword, but didn't see anyone. He opened his golden eyes and looked around, and saw a woman on the bed.

The woman was wearing a blue gauze dress and looked at Li Banfeng silently.

"Are you Jiang Ling'er?"

The woman asked back, "Which one did you say?"

Li Banfeng was surprised: "I'm talking about you."

The woman asked again: "Which one is it?"

Her voice was so soft that Li Banfeng had to turn on the power of spiritual sound to barely hear it.

The light and shadow were dim, so Li Banfeng walked closer. Before he could see the woman's face clearly, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Banfeng used his Golden Vision to its maximum limit and searched upstairs and downstairs, but he couldn't find the woman.

Is this a vengeful spirit?
Even if a vengeful spirit has cultivated enough to harm the devil, it cannot escape the golden eyes.

Li Banfeng is a travel and home cultivator at the third level of Yunshang. He has an incredibly quick reaction and speed. This woman could actually disappear in front of Li Banfeng. What is her level of cultivation?
Unable to stay in Yucui Tower any longer, Li Banfeng originally planned to find the five sisters of the Luo family to find out what happened, but before he even walked out of the backyard, he could not open his eyes.

He was really sleepy, extremely sleepy.

Just then, Shaojun came over, and Li Banfeng said, "Arrange a place for me to stay. I'll take a nap."

Luo Shaojun quickly took Li Banfeng to his former boudoir, drove out Bao Yingjun's concubine, and put Li Banfeng to bed.

"Young Master, I have something to ask you, about that Yucui Tower..." Li Banfeng fell asleep halfway through his words.

When I opened my eyes again, Shaojun was still sitting beside the bed.

"Seventh brother, the situation in the city has been basically settled. Seventy percent of the officials are willing to follow our Luo family, and the remaining thirty percent are ambivalent. Sister asked them to go home temporarily and arranged personnel around their mansions to monitor them all."

Luo Lijun has been in charge of Wubian City for many years, so Li Banfeng doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the city.

Li Banfeng is now concerned about the things outside the city: "Is Wubian City heading towards Chaoge now?"

Luo Shaojun nodded and said, "We are heading to Chaoge and the journey is going pretty smoothly."

Li Banfeng said: "It would be best if everything goes smoothly. Bao Yingjun attacked us as soon as we met. It is probably related to the saint. The saint will also attack us."

Luo Shaojun nodded repeatedly: "Seventh brother is right, I asked several ministers, Bao Yingjun has been saying 'eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor' every day these days, the one who made him a prince must be a saint!
I have already told my sister about this. She said she has already taken precautions and asked us sisters to take turns to be on duty at the lobby so that we can respond immediately if something goes wrong.
My sister just went to Zuowu Street, where several of Bao Yingjun's old subordinates live. It is said that they have gathered a lot of people and are preparing to cause trouble. I don't know what kind of weapons they have, so I guess we will have to fight them."

Li Banfeng unfolded the map of Wubian City drawn by Hu Chihong: "Where is Zuowu Street?"

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said, "Seventh Brother, don't worry about this matter. Sister will definitely handle it. You can rest peacefully."

As soon as he mentioned resting, Li Banfeng felt his eyelids heavy again. It seemed that these two hours were not enough sleep.

This shouldn’t be the case. When did I become so sleepy?

After staring at the map for a while, Li Banfeng said, "The shape of Wubian City looks quite special."

Luo Shaojun smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, do you think Wubian City is like a worm?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

"Seventh Brother guessed right. Would you like to see the Eye of Boundless City? There are inner eyes and outer eyes, both of which can be seen in the Clear Hall."

Li Banfeng had been to the Mingxi Hall and saw nothing at the time: "Is there any technique here?"

"You do need to use some techniques, but they are not the Taoist techniques of Pro Province, nor are they the blood-breeding techniques of our Great Shang. This kind of technique should be called the Unbounded Technique in Pro Province. If Brother Qi wants to learn it, I will teach you."

Li Banfeng nodded: "I really want to learn."

"Seventh Brother, come downstairs with me!"

"Okay, let's go downstairs..."

Li Banfeng took a step on the stairs and was stunned for a long time.

"What is this place?"

Luo Shaojun said: "Yucui Tower."

"Didn't I sleep in your room just now? Why am I in Yucui Tower again?" Li Banfeng looked confused.

Luo Shaojun also felt strange: "I saw that Brother Qi had fallen asleep, so I went to help the sisters. When I came back, Brother Qi was not in my room.

I searched for a long time in the backyard before I found Brother Seven here. I thought Brother Seven didn't want to sleep in my room, or that he disliked the uncleanness of Bao Yingjun's concubine room. "

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I think your room is good. This Yucui Building is not clean. I will sleep in your room from now on."

Luo Shaojun blushed and said, "Then I will listen to Brother Seven..."

Before Luo Shaojun could finish her words, Li Banfeng grabbed her and hurried downstairs.

When he got downstairs, Li Banfeng was still wondering how he got to Yucui Tower?
He definitely didn't walk here by himself, he must have been brought here.

With his current level of cultivation, who could send him to this place while he is sleeping?
Is it the woman in the attic?
How high is her cultivation level?
Thinking of this, Li Banfeng felt a wave of fear.

"How long will it take us to get to Chaoge?"

Luo Shaojun thought for a moment and said, "According to my estimation, it will take about three days. Let's go to the Mingxi Hall and take a look!"

……

In the turbid sea water, visibility was no more than ten meters, and nothing could be seen except the falling debris.

This situation made it difficult to determine the direction, but the blonde and blue-eyed Zuo Anna was very confident. She told He Jiaqing that this was the way to Chaoge.

He Jiaqing rubbed his forehead and lowered his hands from the rock wall.

Zuo Anna smiled and said, “Tired?”

He Jiaqing nodded: "There's nothing to see outside, and it's very exhausting."

Zuo Anna shook her head and said, "You say there's nothing to see now, but in a little while, you'll be looking outside again."

He Jiaqing frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zuo Anna smiled and said, "Because you don't trust me. I have met many, many people, but I have never met anyone as suspicious as you."

He Jiaqing thought of someone: "Does it also include your brother?"

"You mean Cuitik?" Zuo Anna thought for a moment and shook her head. "Cuitik is not that suspicious. He is sincere to most people and things.

And to be precise, he is not my brother. We just reached a cooperative relationship, a cooperative relationship of exchanging interests. "

Zuo Anna took He Jiaqing out of the cave and walked onto the main street.

The main street was deserted, not a soul was there.

It's not just the main street that's like this. From the first street on the left to the eighth street on the left, and from the first street on the right to the eighth street on the right, there's no one in sight.

He Jiaqing said: "Actually, this town is a bug, right?"

Zuo Anna asked with a hint of appreciation: "How did you figure that out?"

"The main street is wide and covers a large area because we are walking in the center of the insect. The so-called left first to left eighth streets are actually the extension of the insect's body to the eight legs on the left. Am I right?"

Zuo Anna nodded: "In the Great Shang Empire, this kind of creature has another name, they are called slaves."

He Jiaqing said: "I have been to the Great Shang Kingdom and to Chaoge. I have seen slaves, but I have never seen such a big one.
I have never seen such a big sea. In my impression, Chaoge is a big city, but it is definitely not a worm-like structure like this."

Zuo Anna entered a teahouse, drew some water from the pressure well, put it into a teapot, and placed it on the tea stove.

Soon, the water boiled. Zuo Anna skillfully brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for He Jiaqing: "Do you want to know where the well water here comes from?"

He Jiaqing held the teacup and nodded slightly.

"Drink the tea, and I'll tell you after you finish it." Zuo Anna also poured herself a cup, but she didn't drink it. She kept staring at He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing picked up the teacup and put it down again: "It seems that I won't get an answer to this matter today."

Zuo Anna picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp: "You can't get an answer because you are too suspicious. The tea is not poisonous, but you won't trust me."

He Jiaqing raised his eyebrows: "Why should I trust you?"

Zuo Anna also raised her eyebrows: "Since you don't trust me, why do you seek answers from me? Don't you think you are a very contradictory person?"

He Jiaqing sighed: "You are just like your brother. You have a unique stubbornness when doing things."

Zuo Anna shook her head and said, "This is not stubbornness, this is respect for fairness. If you don't trust me, you have no right to ask me to trust you. If you don't want to pay the price, don't fantasize about gaining benefits from me."

"Is profit the only thing you care about?" He Jiaqing handed Anna a cigarette. "There's one thing I don't understand. What profit can you get from letting Cuitik cure my father?"

Zuo Anna took the cigarette and smiled: "You want to get the answer for nothing again, tell me first, what price can you pay?"

He Jiaqing took out a piece of white paper and said, "I'm going to Chaoge to get back some of the deeds. I've already made a list. You can add one or two names to the list."

Zuo Anna picked up the pen and asked, "Can you be more direct, one or two?"

He Jiaqing said: "Different numbers of people have different prices. If you want to add one more person, first tell me why you want to save my father. Don't say it's just for money. With your means, there are too many ways to make money."

Zuo Anna took a pen, looked at the white paper, and compared the prices. After comparing them repeatedly, she felt that this deal was quite worthwhile.

"I saved your father at the beginning because of Xiao Zhenggong's request, and also because of my intention to infiltrate the Great Shang Empire."

"Who do you want to use to infiltrate the Great Shang Empire?" He Jiaqing asked in surprise, "Isn't it my father?"

Zuo Anna nodded: "It is He Haiqin. We hope to establish a good relationship with him through Cuitik, and then use his status as a ninth-level food cultivator to gradually infiltrate the Great Shang Empire.

But we failed. Although Cuitik saved He Haiqin, he was unable to establish any friendship with him. He Haiqin's prejudice against foreigners was beyond our expectations. "

He Jiaqing said, "I don't understand this. Why did you want to infiltrate the Great Shang Empire through my father? Even if he had reached the tenth level of cultivation, he would only be a slave in the Great Shang. You want to infiltrate an empire through a slave. Isn't that a bit absurd? As far as I know, you have connections with many upper-class people in the Great Shang."

Zuo Anna said: "We chose He Haiqin because He Haiqin can get in touch with another kind of people, the Proton people living in Dashang.
These people have good fighting power and outstanding abilities. Some of them can even compete with the peddler. Your grandfather He Caiyuan is one of them."

He Jiaqing waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't overestimate my grandfather. He has no ability to compete with the peddler."

"I'm not talking about your grandfather, I'm talking about the best of their group.
This group makes up for the weakness of the Shang Empire's insufficient individual combat power to a certain extent, which poses a huge threat to Prostate, Earth, and even our planet.
If He Haiqin can successfully enter the Great Shang Empire, He Caiyuan will definitely take care of him, and he will soon gain a higher status in this special group. Using his status, we may be able to change the position of this group."

He Jiaqing smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. My father's position has always been very firm. He learned civil and martial arts and sold goods to the emperor. This was his lifelong belief."

Zuo Anna nodded: "You are right, what He Haiqin did is indeed disappointing. We had another candidate at the time, but it's a pity that you ruined it."

"Another candidate," He Jiaqing thought for a moment, "You are talking about Lu Dongliang, right?"

Zuo Anna looked at He Jiaqing and said, "This is another question. If you want to ask this question, you must pay a price."

He Jiaqing disagreed: "Madam, I gave you a deed to the local god. You should know the value of this deed. The answer to a question alone cannot exchange for this reward."

Zuo Anna shook her head and smiled: "Where is the contract?"

"I haven't got it yet."

"Then there are some questions that you'd better ask after you get the deed."

He Jiaqing looked at the blank paper and said, "Write down the name of the owner of the deed. I will do my best to help you get the deed back."

Zuo Anna wrote down three words, Rong Sijiao. "The local god who calls himself Rong Ku Shen," He Jiaqing was a little surprised. "I know Rong Sijiao, but he disappeared some time ago, but the name Rong Ku Shen is still there. Could it be that Cui Tik left it behind?"

Zuo Anna reminded He Jiaqing again: "If you want to ask me questions, you have to pay a price."

He Jiaqing then asked, "As far as I know, Cuitik is different from you. He is not a member of the White Falcon Alliance. What is your purpose in helping him get the deed?"

Zuo Anna was a little impatient: "I told you that we have a cooperative relationship with him. You asked so many questions, why were you so careless when listening to my answers?"

"The cooperation between you is based on interests. Cuitik has not brought any substantial benefits to the White Falcon Alliance. At least I haven't seen him do anything for you.
On the contrary, you have been seeking benefits for Cuitik. In the matter of my father, Cuitik did not help you achieve your goal. Instead, you helped Cuitik find Xiao Zhenggong, the financial sponsor.
This kind of operation is hard for me to understand. It can only mean one thing, that you and him have a special relationship. You said you are not his sister, so are you his lover, or are you just wishful thinking and think of yourself as his lover?"

Zuo Anna smiled: "You are very good at irritating others, but this is not the best way to get answers. Stop being so smart. Instead of trying so hard to get words out of me, you might as well think about what price you can offer. Once you get the deed, you will get more answers."

boom!
The tea on the table sloshed.

He Jiaqing asked, "Sui'an Town has stopped?"

Zuo Anna nodded, returned to the cave, and observed the situation outside.

"There is a city approaching us. Sui'an Town does not want to be discovered by them, so it chooses to hide temporarily."

He Jiaqing nodded: "I never thought that this insect had such high intelligence."

"He is a human. The Shang Dynasty calls them slaves, but they are also human beings," Zuo Anna reminded He Jiaqing, "Don't try to use any techniques lightly, otherwise Sui'an Town will be exposed."

He Jiaqing touched the rock with his hand and saw a huge shadow approaching rapidly outside Sui'an Town.

"This city was also transformed by the slaves?"

Zuo Anna nodded: "Yes, I recognize this city. His intelligence is very high. It should be the power of the Luo family."

……

Li Banfeng sat in the Mingxi lobby and rubbed his forehead.

Through the clear lobby, Li Banfeng could see the scene outside Wubian City, but to be honest, he could not see anything except the sea and reefs.

"Can Wubiancheng recognize the road in such a situation?"

Luo Shaojun thought for a moment and said, "If we follow what Prozhou said, Wubiancheng should be considered to have the talent of travel cultivation, and knowing the way is the talent of travel cultivation."

Li Banfeng was surprised: "The whole city has the talent for travel cultivation?"

Luo Shaojun smiled and said, "This is just a metaphor. There is no Taoism in the Great Shang Kingdom. The real Taoism is only in Purozhou."

Li Banfeng was very curious: "How do you turn people into cities?"

Luo Shaojun emerged from the snail shell, transformed into a human form, and sat next to Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, if I talk to you in this form, you won't be angry with me, right?"

Li Banfeng was stunned: "What's the logic behind this?"

Luo Shaojun answered seriously: "I am such a cute little girl, I definitely don't have any bad intentions. Even if you are angry, you won't be willing to hit me."

Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "Just tell me, I won't hit you."

Luo Shaojun said: "Every year, the princes of various places would select ten of the strongest and most vigorous among the newly born slaves and feed them elixirs.

This elixir is very toxic, but if one can withstand the toxicity, these slaves will grow rapidly, growing several dozen times each year.
The life span of the slaves will also increase, and after a hundred years or even hundreds of years of cultivation, a city can be cultivated."

Li Banfeng said: "You select ten servants every year, which means you can cultivate ten cities in one year?"

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Among ten slaves, seven or eight are usually poisoned to death by elixirs in the year they are born. The remaining two or three are likely to be poisoned to death in the following year.
Among hundreds of slaves, perhaps only one or two can survive. Whether they can become a city depends on whether the slaves are talented enough.
The Luo family has worked hard for so many years, but has only built one Wubian City. The remaining cities were all given to our ancestors by the royal family."

"Can other cities swim around in the sea like the Boundless City?"

"That's not the case. There are two types of cities, one is a moving city, and the other is an immovable city. Boundless City is a moving city, and Boundless City is an immovable city."

And the Boundless City?
Li Banfeng asked again: "What city is Chaoge?"

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Most people say that Chaoge is an immovable city. It has never moved in tens of thousands of years. But there are also many people who say that Chaoge has actually moved, and more than once.
Don't worry, Seventh Brother, as long as Chaoge doesn't move, Wubian City will definitely be able to find Chaoge. Even if Chaoge moves, Wubian City is so smart that it can find Chaoge's trace."

Li Banfeng nodded: "You are experts in this matter, so I won't get involved. Has your Yucui Tower ever been haunted before?"

Luo Shaojun was stunned, thought for a long time, and asked: "Seventh Brother, when you say haunted, do you mean after a person dies, the soul comes out to make trouble?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

Luo Shaojun blinked his eyes and said, "Seventh Brother, our customs are different. We don't have ghost stories here.

After a person dies, the soul loses its memories and re-enters reincarnation. It goes smoothly and there is nothing to worry about. "

Li Banfeng never quite understood the reincarnation of life: "Are all reincarnations in Neizhou reborn as a re-creation?"

Luo Shaojun looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Seventh Brother, the Mingxi Hall is crowded with people, it's not a place to talk, I'll take you to the library."

When they arrived at the library, Luo Shaojun showed Li Banfeng a lot of books. According to the records in these books, the reincarnation of the people in Neizhou can be divided into three categories.

Sinners are reincarnated and must enter the furnace to be re-smelted.

Innocent common people and slaves will reincarnate into the underworld and be reborn randomly.

Royal families, princes, ministers, and scholars reincarnate and go to the Pure Land, so they will still be nobles in their next life.

The furnace, the underworld, the pure land, what they look like and what the procedures are are all described clearly.

Luo Shaojun said: "What these books say is the law of reincarnation in the Shang Dynasty. Everyone in the Shang Dynasty believes in this law."

Li Banfeng nodded and continued to turn the pages of the book. Suddenly, he heard Luo Shaojun whisper, "I don't believe it."

Li Banfeng put down the book and said, "Why don't you believe it?"

Luo Shaojun said: "When a person dies, only the soul remains. Does the law of the Shang Dynasty have any control over the soul? I have never seen any government office control the soul.

I suspect that after the people of the Great Shang died, their souls went to the furnace, regardless of whether they were guilty or not, common people or nobles, they all ended up in the same fate. "

"What does a furnace look like?"

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it. The furnace is controlled by the royal family."

"The Luo family was once the leader of the feudal lords, but they have never seen a furnace?"

Luo Shaojun lowered his voice even more: "The furnace is under strict supervision. Not to mention the princes, few people in the royal family have seen it.
The powerful weapons of the Great Shang all came out of the furnace. We will use as many as the royal family gives us, and return them to the royal family when they are broken."

Li Banfeng was stunned and asked, "You mean you can only use Neizhou's weapons but not make them?"

Luo Shaojun gently touched Li Banfeng's lips and signaled him to speak more quietly: "Seventh Brother, I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else.
In the Shang Dynasty, except for the royal family, no one can forge those special weapons. Anyone who says they can forge them is lying to you!"

Li Banfeng was silent for a long time, then asked Shaojun: "Are there any books that specifically explain weapons?"

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said, "There is no ready-made book about this, but it is recorded in some books. I will help Brother Qi find a few."

Shaojun took great effort and finally found a few books. Li Banfeng just flipped through two pages and couldn't help yawning.

Li Banfeng was quite embarrassed. This was a bit disrespectful.

Shaojun didn't mind it. She asked with concern, "Seventh Brother, are you tired?"

Li Banfeng also felt strange: "I just slept for a long time, why am I sleepy again?"

"Seventh Brother, the breathing in Dashang is a little different from that in Pro Province. You just arrived and you can't adapt to it yet."

What is breathing?

Li Banfeng thought for a moment before he understood the reason. The air composition here is different from that in Proton and on Earth.

Luo Shaojun was still trying to help Li Banfeng look up books when he suddenly heard someone outside calling out, "Shaojun, are you in the study?"

It was Luo Yanjun's voice, and Shaojun responded, "Sister, I'm here."

"Hurry up and go to the Mingxi Hall. Wubiancheng refuses to leave. See if you can convince him."

"I'll be there right away!" Luo Shaojun asked someone to prepare food for Li Qi, and quickly followed Yan Jun to the Mingxi lobby.

Li Banfeng read two pages of the book and felt that the handwriting was double.

I persisted in reading half a page, and my eyelids gradually closed.

……

boom!
The tea on the table trembled again, and Sui An calmed down.

He Jiaqing asked: "Are you avoiding Wubian City?"

Zuo Anna touched the rock wall and sensed it for a long time, then nodded and said, "We have indeed escaped from Wubian City, but I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult."

"Why is it hard to walk?"

Zuo Anna asked, "Wubian City is also heading towards Chaoge. What's the reason?"

He Jiaqing said: "In other words, we have to follow Wubian City all the way?"

Zuo Anna nodded: "We have to follow, but we can't let Wubiancheng find us. This journey is very dangerous."

He Jiaqing sighed, "I'm really curious, why do you take such a big risk and go back and forth to Dashang Country to pick up and send people?"

Zuo Anna smiled and said, "You have too many questions. It won't be too late to ask me again after you have prepared the reward."

……

"Which one do you think it is?"

A woman's voice sounded in Li Banfeng's ears.

Li Banfeng was still sleepy. He barely opened his eyes and saw a woman in a blue gauze dress standing beside his bed, with her long hair hanging down on his face.

"Which one is it?" the woman spoke again.

Li Banfeng opened his eyes wide, and all his tiredness disappeared in an instant. He quickly dodged and left the bed.

When I turned around and looked again, there was no woman in blue by the bed, and there was nothing by the bed except the curtains.

Opening his golden eyes, Li Banfeng glanced around the house. He was still on the second floor of the attic and there was nothing special.

and many more……

Why the attic again?

Li Banfeng didn't understand why he returned to Yucui Tower!
In shock, Shaojun pushed the door open and walked in: "Seventh Brother, why are you here again?"

Li Banfeng turned around and said, "Shaojun, go ask..."

"It's her!" A blue dress floated behind Luo Shaojun.

Luo Shaojun did not react. Li Banfeng hugged Shaojun and avoided the man in blue.

The woman in blue missed her target and turned around to rush towards Shaojun again.

Li Banfeng barely avoided the man in blue, hugged Shaojun, and wanted to jump out of the window, but suddenly he felt a sharp burning pain on his body.

There was a barrier on the window. Li Banfeng used a broken path to try to break the barrier open. Shaojun shrank in Li Banfeng's arms, shaking all over.

I can't go out directly, Luo Shaojun's snail shell is still at the door, and the two can't be too far apart.

Li Banfeng rushed to the door, took the snail shell, and prepared to cut a path directly on the wall. Suddenly, a strand of hair brushed across Li Banfeng's cheek.

The woman in blue poked her head out from behind Li Banfeng and whispered in his ear, "It's her!"

Li Banfeng asked: "What is she?"

The blue-dressed woman put her cheek against Li Banfeng's and said slowly, "You said it was her."

Li Banfeng replied: "I said no, is that ok?"
