Lord of Puro

Chapter 713 Xiaoyu
Ai was walking in front, pulling a cart of stones angrily.

Li Banfeng pushed the cart angrily and followed behind.

Ai Yi asked angrily, "Do you know how much effort I put in to enter Bozhou Jiuchongmen?"

Li Banfeng angrily asked back: "You spent so much effort to enter Bozhou Jiuchongmen, why?"

"I want to get soil for planting!"

"Didn't you already get it?"

"I haven't done enough!"

"When do you plan to finish it?"

"Once you can make an altar, you don't need to do it anymore."

"When are you going to get the altar out?"

"You can only make an altar if you have altar stones!"

“Aren’t there stones now?”

“Does anyone know if these stones can create soil?”

"Can't we make soil with all these stones?"

Ayi was not convinced and said, "What if it doesn't work? I have to go there a few more times and find all the stones in every place before I can be sure?"

Li Banfeng was also unconvinced: "How can there be so many what-ifs?"

The two men pulled the stone, arguing all the way, and returned to Hulutou.

After unloading the car, Ayi was still in shock: "I almost couldn't get away just now. Before you go crazy, can you talk to me in advance?"

Li Banfeng was puzzled: "I discussed this with you beforehand, so is that still crazy?"

Ayi said angrily: "I told you, crazy cultivation requires the ability to control yourself. Do you think you should go crazy for such a big thing?"

Li Banfeng was extremely puzzled: "If you don't dare to go crazy on major issues, can you still call yourself a crazy cultivator?"

Ayi was silent. She couldn't argue with Li Banfeng: "Forget it, stop talking nonsense and do serious things. I don't know which stone can be used."

The altar was so big, but it was completely blown into ruins, with stones everywhere. Ai temporarily got out a flatbed truck, but the stones that could be pulled back were very limited. These stones were selected by Ai from different locations.

Li Banfeng picked up a stone and asked, "Can you make soil?"

Ayi shook her head repeatedly: "You are so crazy that there is no hope for you."

"He said no!" Li Banfeng put down a stone and picked up another one, "Can you make soil?"

This one also says no.

After trying more than a dozen stones in a row, Li Banfeng felt that one stone was very special. The other stones were blasted into sharp edges and corners without any regularity, but this stone was relatively round.

He held the stone and asked, "Can you make soil?"

The stone made a small sound. Li Banfeng put his ear to the stone and listened for a long time. He looked up and said to Ayi, "He said he can't make soil. He said he is a first-class weapon."

"What?" Ai was stunned for a moment, "Did he really tell you that?"

Li Banfeng talked to Shitou again: "He said it is a first-class weapon."

Before he could finish his words, the stone cracked, forming a bloody mouth, which bit towards Li Banfeng's head. The speed was so fast that Aiyi could not even see double.

Li Banfeng was Yun San's traveling cultivator, so his speed was naturally faster. He threw the stone far away with a flick of his hand.

The stone fell next to a pine tree, opened its mouth, and swallowed the pine tree in two or three bites. It stretched out two branches as arms, two trunks as legs, grew a crown as a head, and two pine cones as eyes.

The stone monster transformed from stone into human form in the blink of an eye. It sprayed a mouthful of pine oil, which landed on Li Banfeng's feet. It first controlled Li Banfeng's steps, then moved forward and bit Li Banfeng's neck.

"My neck is broken, broken, help!" Ban Fengyi screamed, and at the moment of being bitten, Li Banfeng and Ban Fengyi switched positions.

Li Banfeng directly used the Five Horses Dismemberment Technique to tear the stone monster's limbs into pieces, but did not destroy the stone monster's body.

This is the quality of a first-rate weapon. This stone monster can both fight and carry.

Li Banfeng and the stone monster fought back and forth for several rounds. Ayi shouted at the stone monster, "Stop fighting. We are already in my territory. Who are you still talking nonsense to?"

The stone monster said something to Li Banfeng, and Li Banfeng conveyed his intention to Ayi: "He said that protecting the altar is his duty, and as long as the altar is still there, he will fight us to the end!"

Ayi said: "Now the altar is gone!"

The stone monster said something again, and Li Banfeng relayed it again: "He said he wanted to avenge the altar. If he could take away one more enemy, it would be worth his life's mission!"

Ai Yi laughed and said, "Okay, all the men and women in the village, come and have a look. I want to see how many enemies he can take away!"

At Ayi's command, someone nearby passed on the message, and many villagers came over to watch.

The stone monster saw that he was surrounded, but he was not afraid. He hung in the air, said a few words to Li Banfeng, and prepared for a fierce battle.

Li Banfeng said, "This Shitou is really brave. He said that if he kills one, he will break even, and if he kills two, he will make a profit. Today, he is going to kill everyone in this place."

Ai laughed out loud, and the villagers laughed along with him.

For some reason, Li Banfeng also wanted to laugh.

There was a cornfield next to it. The stone monster drilled into the field and ate half an acre of corn.

The corn stalks became limbs and the corn leaves became weapons. The stone monster stroked its two-foot-long corn beard and rushed towards a group of villagers.

An hour later, Uncle Agen played the reed pipe, A Long played the moon guitar, and the stone monster held the villagers' hands and danced happily.

Ayi called the stone monster and invited him to drink a glass of wine. After drinking the wine, the stone monster was eager to go back to dance, but was stopped by Ayi.

"Seventh Brother, he seemed to have spoken just now, what did he say?"

Li Banfeng said: "He said he would not give in!"

Ayi shook his head and said, "I don't care whether he surrenders or not. Ask him if there are any stones that can produce soil."

Li Banfeng said: "I asked those stones, and they all said that they can't produce soil."

Ai gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it!"

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Can a stone lie?"

Ayi continued to grit her teeth: "I don't believe you!"

Li Banfeng said angrily: "Then why are you asking me?"

Ayi was really unwilling to accept that all her years of hard work had been destroyed. She grabbed the stone monster and asked, "You must know which stone can produce soil. Will you tell me?"

The Stone Monster asked Li Banfeng to pass on a message: "He will definitely not tell!"

Ayi said angrily: "Then lock him up, play music in his ears, and don't let him come out to dance!"

What kind of punishment is this?

Li Banfeng found it hard to understand, but he could confirm one thing, this stone had been infected by some crazy technique, a technique unknown to Li Banfeng.

Shitou was locked up in a dungeon. Uncle Agen and Along played music in front of the dungeon door, and Ayun led the girls to sing in front of the dungeon door.

The stone monster persisted for more than an hour and then spoke to Li Banfeng.

"He said he couldn't give away the stone that would make soil, but he wanted to catch up with an old friend."

Ayi ordered the stone monster to be released.

The stone monster came out of the dungeon, rummaged through the pile of stones for a while, found three stones, and put them aside.

Ayi asked the stone monster: "Are these all your old friends?"

The stone monster didn't say much and continued to dance with Ayun.

The three stones all cried out for injustice, saying that they didn't know how to make soil.

Ayi took the three stones back to her residence and studied them with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng said, "Why don't we go back to the altar and get some more stones? I can go by myself. They may not be able to find me."

Ayi shook her head: "It's too late, we've already returned to Pro Province."

Li Banfeng was startled and looked at the stone outside the window: "Can I bring that first-class weapon back to Pro Province?"

There is a first-class weapon in Wubian City, and that is Jiang Linger.

Wubian City never dares to cross the border, and the boundary will not allow first-class weapons to pass.

Ayi carefully examined the stone and said, "It's not allowed outside the village, but it's allowed inside the village."

This was not easy to understand, and Ai did not explain much. In any case, she did bring first-class weapons into Pro Province, which made Li Banfeng have some associations.

"In terms of transportation capacity alone, which one is better, Hulu Village or the small train?"

Ayi smiled and said, "You should ask the little train about that!"

Li Banfeng asked tentatively: "Do you know where the little train is?"

Ayi looked at Li Banfeng and smiled playfully: "It's right behind you."

Li Banfeng deliberately glanced behind him: "Is it really behind me?"

Ayi came to Li Banfeng's ear and whispered, "I couldn't tell before, but I saw it clearly just now. You took out the key before detonating the explosives."

"I moved so quickly, could you see it?" Li Banfeng did take out the key to avoid the explosion.

"I can't say anything else, but I recognize this key because I made that key with the old train," Ayi took out two pliers from the cabinet and handed them to Li Banfeng. "The train seems to have some problems. These are the pliers used to repair the train. You can take them back. They can be used now."

Li Banfeng put away the pliers, and Ayi took out another jade bracelet.

"This is for Ah Yu. I haven't given her anything good since she was little. This is my way of making up for it."

Li Banfeng took the bracelet and asked: "Who is Ayu?"

"Ayu is my sister. She was sent to the train by the peddler. After so many years, she should have woken up. I don't know if she is willing to see you."

"Do you feel you owe her something?"

Ayi put down the stone in her hand, with a mixed expression: "I was not good to her, from childhood to adulthood, and when I wanted to be good to her, I could no longer see her.

I did see her in my dream that day, and I asked her what she wanted. I gave her everything she wanted, even mountains of gold and silver. This is the truth."

Li Banfeng sighed: "In fact, she doesn't want mountains of gold and silver. She just wants you to teach her some more crazy cultivation techniques."

"Really?" Ai looked at Li Banfeng affectionately.

Li Banfeng nodded: "Really."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Aiyi spat at Li Banfeng: "I'm talking about my sister!"

Li Banfeng lifted the brim of his hat and continued to look at Ayi affectionately: "Actually, I am your sister."

Ai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You don't believe it?" Li Banfeng's figure suddenly disappeared, and he used the key to return to his residence.

Not long after, a halo appeared under Ai's feet, and the Ninth Girl suddenly appeared in front of Ai.

Li Banfeng used the technique of Lianmen bridal chamber to replace the Ninth Girl.

Aiyi looked at Miss Nine in surprise: "Are you really my sister?"

In fact, Li Banfeng was standing in the corner of the room, but Ayi didn't notice him.

The Ninth Girl seemed unwilling to see Ayi, so she turned around and wanted to leave, but she didn't know where to go.

Ayi held Ninth Girl's hand and said softly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I missed you so much, but I never thought I would see you so soon."

Jiuer frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just came out. When did you see me?"

Ayi stared at Jiuer for a long time: "It's also my sister's fault. I didn't look carefully. Even if you were wearing men's clothes, I would still be able to recognize you."

"When did I wear men's clothes? It's so hard to talk to you!" Jiuer's eyes were red, but she didn't want Ayi to see it, so she deliberately turned her eyes away. "Yuer, stop talking in anger and sit down." Ayi helped Jiuer sit beside her.

Jiuer turned around and said, "Who is Yu'er? My name is Jiuer, don't call me the wrong name."

"Jiu'er?" Ayi was stunned, and suddenly her face darkened, "Girl, are you becoming someone's concubine?"

Jiuer was shocked: "How do you know...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your name is Jiuer. Are you someone's ninth concubine?" Ayi's face became even uglier.

"What's wrong with the ninth one?" Jiu'er didn't care about being embarrassed since Ayi had seen through her. She said with a stiff neck, "Being someone's concubine is better than you. You can't even get married at your age!"

"Bah!" Ayi spat at Jiu'er, "You still have the nerve to do that? I can't get married, but I can get a wife, and you're being the ninth one. Aren't you ashamed?"

"You spit at me?" Jiuer wiped her face. "Why would you marry a wife when you are a woman? Who of us wouldn't be ashamed?"

The two sisters started fighting.

Li Banfeng said impatiently: "It's useless to talk about these things, hurry up and talk about the techniques!"

Ayi and Jiuer fought for a whole night, and the newly built building was reduced to ruins.

Qiu Luoye had nowhere to sleep, so he found a place to set up a tent and sighed, "It would be nice if I could dream about Qiqiu City tonight, or even the new land."

……

In the new land, the local god Chen Zuixiang slowly appeared. He held up a wine pot, took a sip from the pot, looked at the spider in front of him, and asked, "You come to me for help?"

This spider is about the same size as a buffalo. It arches its eight legs, lies on the ground with its head pressed against the ground, and expresses its submission to the local god.

Chen Zuixiang asked: "How many levels of cultivation do you have?"

The spider wrote a "three" on the ground with its front legs.

Chen Zuixiang was not very satisfied: "Your cultivation is not high, and you can't speak. I really don't want to accept such a person."

The spider spit out a silk sac, which was about the size of a pumpkin. When they broke open the sac, they saw that it was full of silver coins.

Chen Zuixiang looked down and asked: "Where did this money come from?"

The spider lay on the ground, kowtowing as if to say that this was what he had saved.

Chen Zuixiang was very angry: "How can a monster get so much money? Your money must not come from a good source!"

The spider held the silk sac in its front paws and kept nodding its head.

Chen Zuixiang stretched out his hand, and the silk bag flew up and disappeared.

"I shouldn't have accepted this money from an unknown source. Today, I feel sorry for you, so I'll make an exception for you. You must give me an explanation for this matter later."

The money was received, which meant that he was kept. Spider was overjoyed and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"No matter what you do here, there are rules. I'll go get you a deed." Chen Zuixiang turned around and took two steps when he suddenly felt something sticky on his face.

He ran into a spider web.

Where did this spider web come from?
Before Chen Zuixiang showed up, he had checked carefully and found no spider webs nearby.

He could never have imagined that this spider web was secretly woven by the spider while it was talking to him. During the entire process of weaving the web, Chen Zuixiang was completely unaware.

"What do you want to do? You dare..." Chen Zuixiang was halfway through his words when a ball of spider silk blocked his mouth.

He wanted to spit out the spider silk, but it stuck tightly to his throat and tongue and he couldn't spit it out at all.

He tried to melt the spider silk with the wine in his mouth, but all the wine was used up and the spider silk remained intact.

He really couldn't imagine how powerful this spider was.

The spider transformed into a human form, it was He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing stole the techniques from a biomechanical cultivator and made some improvements to them.

He used to look down on the physical cultivation techniques, but today his attitude has changed. Some of the physical cultivation techniques are indeed useful.

He Jiaqing wrapped some spider webs around Chen Zuixiang and pulled them hard a few times, causing blood to seep out of Chen Zuixiang's body.

"I have something to ask you now. What are the names of the local gods who were conferred titles together with you? What sects do they belong to?" After saying that, He Jiaqing loosened the spider web in Chen Zuixiang's mouth.

Chen Zuixiang looked at He Jiaqing with cold eyes and refused to say anything.

He was not afraid, this was his territory.

He Jiaqing smiled: "Do you think that I would not dare to kill you in your territory?"

Chen Zuixiang really thinks so
"I can't kill you, but someone can." He Jiaqing waved his hand, and Datou came over from behind with a knife in his hand.

He Jiaqing's cultivation level is above Yunshang. According to the peddler's rules, he cannot kill Chen Zuixiang in this area.

Datou's cultivation is still on the land. If he kills Chen Zuixiang on this land, it will not be considered a violation of the peddler's rules.

But won’t the peddler investigate this matter?
Datou is He Jiaqing's subordinate. If He Jiaqing was involved in this matter, even if he did not do it personally, he might be held accountable by the peddler.

But the peddler tacitly agreed to this business, and he would not delve into some details.

Chen Zuixiang was still trying to break free from the spider web, but a spider silk thread got wrapped around his neck.

He Jiaqing jumped onto the spider web and swung twice. "I'll relax the conditions a bit. If you tell me their names first, I'll let you go. If you still don't cooperate, I'll take half of your life first. Just half."

……

Qiao Yi opened his eyes, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling with a dull look.

Xie Gong advised: "Brother, eat something. You haven't eaten for three days."

Zhu Jin advised: "Brother, if you don't eat, we will really starve."

Qiao Yi refused to eat it, and Xie Gong and Zhu Jin didn't dare to eat it either.

Qiao Yi coughed twice and said, "Have you found out who blew up the altar?"

Xie Gong whispered, "The Ministry of Justice has sent people to investigate, but there are no clues yet."

Qiao Yi coughed so hard that his chest ached. He asked again, "How long will it take to repair the altar?"

Zhu Jin said, "Brother just fell asleep. I just happened to read the document from the Ministry of Works. It will take three years to restore it as it is. If the construction method is simple, it will only take one year."

Qiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Keep it simple!"

Xie Gong said: "Brother, be careful, the altar is related to etiquette, and etiquette and other matters should not be taken lightly or simply."

Qiao Yi covered his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood. "If I don't take revenge, I'm unworthy of being a husband. Let the Ministry of Justice send more people. If the identity of this evil thief is still not found out within three days, all of them, starting from the Minister of Justice, will be dismissed and investigated!"

Xie Gong advised: "Brother, calm down. I think you should not rush to put pressure on the Ministry of Justice. Think about the cause and effect of this matter first. This thief was able to break into Bocheng, enter the Nine-Layered Gate, destroy the altar, and escape unscathed. How many people in this world have such courage and means?"

Qiao Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Could it be that the bandit leader came in person?"

The chief thief refers to the peddler.

Zhu Jin nodded and said, "I think it was him. No one else would dare to do this. Brother, you are focusing on the general situation. You want to fight chaos with chaos, let them cause chaos until he is exhausted, and then catch this group of rabble in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that he would destroy our altar? Now the situation is over..."

puff!

Qiao Yi coughed up blood again.

Zhu Jin quickly advised: "Brother, don't be angry. I think this is not because the peddler is too capable, but because there is a traitor at the altar. Otherwise, he would not be able to come and go so smoothly."

Insider?

The person in charge of the altar is Yang Yueze, Qiao Yi's confidant who was promoted against all odds. Now you are saying there is a traitor.

Qiao Yi coughed violently, and felt a fishy and salty taste in his throat again.

Xie Gong asked Zhu Jin to stop talking: "Brother, don't worry too much about the previous events. Let's think about the consequences. The new land that was created that day..."

This can only be said half way, because Xie Gong only guessed half of it.

Zhu Jin still didn't understand: "What happened to the newly created land that day?"

Qiao Yi struggled and sat up from the bed: "Not good, let Shu Wanjuan go to Xindi, quickly, they are going to be killed!"

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Yi fainted and collapsed on the bed.

Zhu Jin still didn't understand: "Who is going to be murdered?"

Xie Gong was frightened and was about to call a medical officer.

Zhu Jin said: "Second brother, why don't we call the doctor first?"

Xie Gong was stunned: "What do you want the cook to do?"

Zhu Jin said, "While he's gone, let's eat something."

……

Ding-dang-dang, ding-dang-dang!
Li Banfeng pushed open the window and saw the peddler enter Hulu Village. The sound of the rattle was not right today, and the carriage was not moving steadily.

"Foreign soap, vanishing cream, matches, foreign wax, foreign shovel..."

Bang!

The truck was jolted and a lot of goods fell off.

The peddler bent down to pick it up, and Li Banfeng helped him.

Ayun brought a girl to buy vanishing cream. The girl's name was Ami, and Li Banfeng knew her.

Ami was abandoned by her parents, her younger brother was in jail for fighting with someone, and her grandfather was in debt due to gambling. When she first came to Hulu Village, Ami cried all day long and looked like a monster.

Now she has let it go, her complexion looks better, her figure has plumper, and she has grown into a pretty girl.

Some people came to buy vanishing cream, some came to buy leather buckets. Business was pretty good today, but the peddler had a hard time pushing his cart.

Ayi came down from upstairs and looked at the wheel: "Where did you get this wheel? It's too ugly."

The peddler patted the cart and said, "I came to see you, so make it look presentable."

Ayi checked it and said: "It's not worth repairing this broken wheel. I'll replace it with a new one for you!"

The peddler nodded and said, "You name the price, including the labor and materials, and I won't give you a penny less."

"Isn't it a little strange to talk about money? What kind of relationship do we have? I tell you, this can't be fixed in a short time. You have to keep this car for a while."

Ayi pushed the truck into the building, and the peddler followed him in and asked, "Have you done anything big recently?"

"No!" Ai shook her head.

"Really?"

"It wasn't me who blew it up!" Ai still shook her head.

The peddler looked at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng handed the peddler a cigarette: "I fried it."

The peddler took the cigarette and said, "I put a lot of effort into building the road to Bocheng for Aiyi. But you have cut off the road with your bomb."

Li Banfeng thought about it and said, "I think this is a good deal."

The peddler asked, "Why did you make money? New land and borders are the two most important things in Prosperity. This road is related to the new land."

Li Banfeng said: "New land and boundaries are both important, but there is one more important thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Capital," Li Banfeng said, "We can't let people from Neizhou come to Purozhou to do business casually. We have to let them know what capital is and how painful it is to lose money."

The peddler smiled, rolled a cigarette and handed it to Li Banfeng.

PS: The peddler not only gave cigarettes, he also had other good things to give to Li Banfeng.
