Lord of Puro

Chapter 714 It’s too late to meet
The peddler bit into his cigarette and said angrily, "The Neizhou people come to Purozhou every now and then to cause trouble. After Qiao Yi took control of the government, his methods became more vicious."

Li Banfeng spit out a puff of smoke: "Just thinking about the last time when the mute got cheated, I'm still angry now. I blew up his altar, and I'm still angry!"

At this point, the peddler gritted his teeth and said, "They came to Pro Province and did something bad. If they succeeded, they made a fortune. If they failed, they pretended they had never done it. They knew that I was busy running around and had no time to retaliate. These bastards became more and more unscrupulous!"

Li Banfeng also gritted his teeth and said, "These bastards should all be killed. Their houses should be burned down."

The peddler agreed: "So, other people's houses can also be burned."

Li Banfeng also agreed: "The altar is also a house, I just burned it down!"

"That's a good job," the peddler said, looking at the sky. "In fact, I also have a house above Hulu Village. My house is not too big, but the workmanship is quite good. I want to..."

Li Banfeng took out a lighter.

The peddler suddenly looked at Li Banfeng and said, "I want to give you this house. What are you doing with the lighter?"

Li Banfeng looked at the flame on the lighter and explained, "Let me, what, light another cigarette for you."

The peddler confiscated the lighter and brought Li Banfeng to the cloud. The cloud was not small. There was a forest and a stream on it. At the end of the stream was a well. Next to the well was a three-story wooden house.

It is not a wooden building, but a pure wooden house. There are five wooden houses on the first floor, two large and three small. There are three wooden houses on the second floor, one large and two small. There are two houses on the third floor, one large and one small.

Although these ten wooden houses are connected to each other, they have different architectural styles. Even if Li Banfeng does not understand the construction methods, he can tell that they were not built by the same person.

"These wooden houses are pieced together, right? Some look like hunter's houses, some look like farmhouses, and some look like rouge shops. These are too plain. There's not much furniture, not even bedding. Look at the windows. It's been a long time since they were cleaned..."

The peddler said angrily: "Stop it!"

"Yes!" Li Banfeng agreed very straightforwardly, "Where are the keys? Do you have the title deed?"

There was a bunch of keys and ten property deeds. The peddler handed all these things to Li Banfeng, then signed another deed and sprinkled blood on the deed and the clouds.

Li Banfeng asked, "Is there anything special about this contract?"

"This is a land deed. Some people call it a cloud deed, but I think it's more appropriate to call it a land deed. It's not much different from the process of clearing wasteland and identifying the land."

Li Banfeng had made a cloud in Neizhou before, but he had never signed such a deed. He took the deed and read it carefully: "Is this cloud yours or your wife's? Don't wait for a sister-in-law to come and settle accounts with me in the future."

"What are you talking about! The house I can give to you is naturally mine."

"Aren't you a ground cultivator? Can you use the Cloud Gate technique?"

The peddler said, "I said before that I can't use the Cloud Gate method on the cloud, but the ground has its own methods, otherwise how can it be called Unbounded Skills!"

"Are there any Cloud Gate skills above the clouds?"

The peddler shook his head: "I haven't found it yet. Maybe someone will be able to do it in the future. The reason why Pro Province has survived to this day is because of its changes. As long as the changes are there, we don't have to worry about not being able to defeat Inner Province."

Li Banfeng stood on the cloud, looking into the distance. Even at such a high place, he still couldn't see the end of Hulu Village: "It seems that there are many variables on Qiao Yi's side."

The peddler nodded and said, "His variables are concentrated on the new land. You blew up his altar. I guess he won't be able to use his variables in the short term."

"The variables are concentrated in Xindi?" Li Banfeng didn't know this yet.

The peddler took out a map and handed it to Li Banfeng: "The dozen or so new plots of land marked here were all created by a sacrifice. Qiao Yi conferred titles on thirteen local gods at once by giving them land to carry with them. These thirteen plots of land are connected to each other and will form the embryonic form of an empire in the future."

Li Banfeng was no stranger to this method, and He Jiaqing had similar plans.

"I'm going to talk to these thirteen local gods." Li Banfeng collected the map and was about to leave when the peddler stopped him.

"You can't do this. It's dirty work. If something goes wrong, you'll be in a very bad situation."

"You're going to let Tritik do it?"

"Cui Tik is not suitable either. I'll leave this matter to He Jiaqing."

Li Banfeng was a little worried: "He Jiaqing wants to be the emperor, aren't you worried?"

"I'm worried, but Provo needs change. We have to give those who want to change a chance. As for how to restrict him, we have to find a way. I told you this so that you can be more cautious."

The two of them got off the cloud, and the peddler took out a box and handed it to Ayi: "This reward is for you, look carefully, it's double."

Ai opened the box and smiled with satisfaction.

Li Banfeng also wanted to know what was in the box, but Ayi closed the lid and refused to let him see.

The peddler said, "One reward is for repairing the car, and the other is for the altar. We don't need to go through the red tape of the inner state. As long as we can produce soil, it will be considered a success. The faster the work is done, the better."

The peddler left, and Li Banfeng was also preparing to leave Hulu Village. Ayi said, "Xiaoyu, don't leave in a hurry. I was a little too harsh on you that day. Let me teach you a technique to make up for it."

Upon hearing this, Li Banfeng was delighted: "What technique?"

Ayi opened the powder box and said, "Put your hand out first."

Li Banfeng stretched out his right hand, and Ayi grabbed a handful of medicine powder and smeared it on Li Banfeng's face.

Li Banfeng's cheeks trembled in pain: "Why do you want me to stretch my hand?"

Ayi asked seriously, "Do you think your right hand is crazy?"

Li Banfeng looked at his right hand and said, "Let me ask it."

After asking, Li Banfeng said: "My right hand said that he is not crazy."

Ayi brought a wooden box and said, "Even crazy people think they are not crazy. This is not a question, but a test. Grab something from this box and try it out."

Li Banfeng carefully observed the wooden box. It was square and there was nothing special about it from the outside.

There was an opening on the top of the box. Li Banfeng reached his hand into the opening and grabbed a sachet.

This sachet is slightly larger than a quail egg, and the satin surface is embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, with very unique workmanship.

Li Banfeng smelled the fragrance, which was very strong. Before he could figure out what was special about the sachet, it suddenly caught fire in his hand.

Li Banfeng quickly stopped and threw away the sachet. The fire in the sachet suddenly grew bigger and almost burned Li Banfeng's clothes.

Ayi opened the box, and inside were more than twenty sachets: "Only one of these sachets is crazy, and you caught this crazy sachet."

Li Banfeng looked at Ayi and expressed doubt about her statement.

He was a cultivator at the third level of the Cloudshang realm, and had received instruction from masters on how to avoid danger and seek good fortune, so it was impossible for him to actively move toward danger.

Ayi smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll make another sachet for you to try."

Li Banfeng suspected that all the sachets were crazy, so he checked every sachet. He was also a crazy cultivator, so if there was anything abnormal on the sachet, he would definitely be able to sense it.

There was nothing unusual with the sachet. Li Banfeng stared at Ai closely to see how she performed her techniques.

Ayi put the sachet back into the box and said in a crazy and domineering way in front of Li Banfeng: "Another sachet has gone crazy. If you can avoid it, it will be considered a skill for you."

Li Banfeng reached out to touch the sachet, and he could already sense the breath of madness between his fingertips.

This crazy breath is very secretive. It is very difficult for Li Banfeng to pick out the crazy sachet in a short time, but it is much easier to avoid the crazy sachet.

He quickly picked out a sachet, and as soon as he opened his palm, the sachet was on fire.

This is illogical. Li Banfeng sensed the crazy aura and used the strategy of seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, but he ended up choosing the most dangerous one from more than twenty sachets.

He threw the burning sachet out of his hand, but unexpectedly his movement was a little too big and it hit a bamboo basket by the window.

A green snake jumped out of the bamboo basket and bit Li Banfeng's arm.

Li Banfeng quickly withdrew his hand, but on the way he hit a mechanism. A feather arrow fell from the sky and almost pierced Li Banfeng's head.

Ayi smiled as she watched Li Banfeng parry and dodge. After dealing with a series of traps, Li Banfeng realized one thing: if he fought with Ayi in this room, he would have almost no chance of winning.

"Are you a home repairman?" Li Banfeng asked Ayi seriously.

Ayi shook her head and said, "I am not a home cultivator. The reason you were so embarrassed just now was because your right hand was hit by a crazy cultivator's skill. It's a pity that we met too late.
Every madman is another madman's confidant. When madmen meet, they feel particularly compatible. There are 118 crazy objects in this room. If I hadn't collected my technique, your right hand would have visited all 118 objects. "

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and remembered the first-class weapon, the stone monster.

"That stone monster lives so happily in Hulu Village, not because he really likes singing and dancing, but because he has fallen in love with the people in the village because of the "meeting too late" trick?"

Ai looked out the window and saw the stone monster stroking its long corn beard and dancing while plowing in the cornfield.

"He's a little bit special. He really has the skill of meeting too late, but he also really likes dancing.
In the altar, he was like a stone, having stayed there for a hundred years under the wind and rain, unable to move at all unless he encountered an opportunity to attack.

He loves dancing so much, maybe he wants to make up for what he missed over the years."

Li Banfeng was still thinking about how to use "We met too late". Ayi looked at Li Banfeng affectionately and said softly: "Xiaoyu, there are so many villagers in Hulu Village, and each of them can learn at most one of my skills. So far, you are the only one who has learned two skills.
We sisters have missed so much in the past, and I want to make it up to you. Let the past grudges go, and don't hold grudges against me for some things. "

Li Banfeng sobbed twice, and the grievances in his heart almost fell into tears: "There are some things that I will never forget in my life. Two techniques cannot make up for it. If you say three or five, it's about right."

Ayi poked Li Banfeng with a finger and said, "You are so greedy, you haven't even learned this skill yet, and you want other skills?"

Li Banfeng is very confident: "I think I have almost learned it."

"Even if you learn the essentials, do you know how to use them in battle? I always use them together with engineering skills."

What Ayi said was correct. All the operations just now were concentrated on the mechanism in this room.

"The key to a skilled worker is deployment. People say a skilled worker has a hundred weapons. This refers to a skilled worker who is fully prepared. When the opponent is caught off guard, it is considered a stroke of luck if the skilled worker can pull out ten weapons. However, whether these ten weapons can make the opponent fall into their trap is still unclear.
There was a senior engineer who was very good at setting traps. He dug a pit in the ground, and even I couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.
But no matter how well the trap is made, if people just don't step on it, there is nothing you can do. The senior met a travel repairman named Che Wushang. He didn't have many other skills, but he had mastered the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding danger. He avoided all the traps and severely injured the senior worker.
This senior was a leader in the engineering field, but he was defeated by someone like Che Wushang. After the battle, this senior became a laughing stock among the engineers and died of depression not long after.

From then on, I wanted to create a technique that would make the enemy walk into the trap on their own. This is the origin of the technique of meeting too late.
Xiaoyu, you don't understand engineering, you still need to figure out how to use this technique."

Li Banfeng was not worried at all.

It's true that he doesn't have any engineering skills, but that doesn't mean he can't set traps. All things have spirits, and all spiritual things can become friends.

"Sister, stay with me for two more days, you can learn the techniques well, and we can also catch up on the old times." "Okay!" Li Banfeng agreed readily, "Sister, can you give me more explosives?"

Ai Yi said with a dark face: "You want to blow up my house again?"

"That's not the case. I'll keep it for emergency use later."

Ai thought about it and agreed, but she still asked Li Banfeng to sign a contract, promising not to blow up her house and village.

Li Banfeng looked out the window and said, "Brother Qiu has been working very hard these days. You don't have that many clothes, so don't always ask him to wash them."

Ayi's face darkened: "This is my wife, what are you always thinking about? I can see at a glance that you have no good intentions!"

……

Above the new land, the local god Xin Rushuang was patrolling the land.

Recently, some strange monsters have settled down in her territory. They didn't sign any deeds and didn't reveal their origins, which made Xin Rushuang worried.

In fact, these kinds of monsters that don’t know the rules can be found in every place. If you encounter a local god with a bad temper, you can drive them away or even kill them. If you encounter a local god with a gentle temperament, he may turn a blind eye and allow them to stay, but will not give them any share of their cultivation.

In front of us, there was a hedgehog and a snake sleeping together. From their body shapes, we could tell that their cultivation levels were around the fifth level of the earth, which was considered rare among the monsters.

When encountering such strange monsters, the local gods should take the initiative to negotiate and persuade them to sign a contract. In the future, whether they are opening up new land or competing with other local gods for land, they will be two powerful generals.

But for Xin Rushuang, she doesn't need to worry about the management of the land.

She is one of the thirteen local gods who were granted titles with land. Many things in the land have to be arranged by Liu Bufei.

What she had to do now was to kill these two monsters of unknown origin, freeze them into ice, then smash them into minced meat and bury them without leaving any trace.

She is a cold cultivator. Before performing each technique, she is used to pointing her right index finger at the target. This helps her concentrate and ensures that the technique hits the target accurately.

She raised her right hand and wanted to point at the hedgehog and the snake, but for some reason, her index finger couldn't be extended.

The finger seemed to have a cramp and could not exert any strength.

Xin Rushuang knew that she had met a ruthless person, and her body quickly froze and she wrapped herself from head to toe with a layer of ice armor.

Being wrapped in ice armor did not affect her movements. She turned around quickly and tried to find the location of the attacker.

There was nowhere to hide in the wilderness, but after searching for a long time, Xin Rushuang did not find the attacker, but felt a burning sensation in her right leg.

Was this burned by fire?

No, Xin Rushuang was very familiar with this feeling. The damage from freezing would bring a burning pain. Her right leg was frostbitten.

She is a cold cultivator, how could she be hurt by ice?
She soon found out the reason: someone had repeatedly superimposed the same technique on top of hers until it injured her right leg.

Who has such strong means to be able to perform the same technique repeatedly on one leg?
Xin Rushuang had seen many cold cultivators, and even Yun Er's masters might not be able to do this.

There is no point in thinking too much. My right leg is almost broken. I have to learn the technique quickly.

Xin Rushuang was worried that her skills were being manipulated, so she immediately used her ice armor skills and tried to thaw her right leg.

He Jiaqing, hiding under the soil, quietly observed Xin Rushuang.

He stole her hand tendons to prevent her from fighting back, and took the opportunity to steal her cold cultivation technique.

Freezing her right leg was to restrict her movements and force her to remove the ice armor on her own.

Next, He Jiaqing wanted to steal her heart and liver. Xin Rushuang had neither the ability to fight back nor the chance to escape.

He Jiaqing was about to make a move when he suddenly saw a huge word "retreat" appear in front of him.

"You are such a bold thief!" Shu Wanjuan's voice echoed over the wasteland. Datou, who was hiding in the distance, was ready to come out to support, but He Jiaqing told him not to get close.

The fear of his last encounter with Shu Wanjuan was still vivid in He Jiaqing's mind. He huddled under the mud, not daring to move.

"For the sake of this poor old woman, I'll spare your life. Go away!"

The huge word "retreat" moved quickly towards He Jiaqing. He Jiaqing crawled out of the mud and quickly fled from Xin Rushuang's territory with his big head.

Xin Rushuang wanted to give chase, but Shu Wanjuan suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

Xin Rushuang recognized Shu Wanjuan and quickly knelt down and saluted, "My Lord!"

Shu Wanjuan asked, "Where is Liu Bufei?"

Xin Rushuang lowered her head and said, "My Lord, it should be in his own territory."

"Are the thirteen local gods who were given titles with their lands all in their respective territories?"

Xin Rushuang shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Don't you guys usually meet?"

"General Fenwu has given instructions. Without his orders, we usually don't see each other, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Shu Wanjuan frowned slightly: "Take me to see him."

Walking on the new land, Shu Wanjuan noticed some clues.

More than one local god has died in these thirteen pieces of land.

……

He Jiaqing escaped far away and looked back at Xin Rushuang's territory.

Datou ran out of breath and took a long time to catch his breath: "Who was that person just now? Was it Wen Xiu?"

He Jiaqing nodded and said, "It's Wen Xiu, Wen Xiu's ancestor."

Datou was a little surprised: "It's not easy to save your life from such a person."

"It's not easy," He Jiaqing also felt strange, "but why can we save our lives?"

Datou said, "He said he did it for the sake of the poor mother-in-law."

"Impossible, the poor mother-in-law doesn't have that much face." He Jiaqing concluded that there was another reason.

……

Li Banfeng packed up his things, said goodbye to Qiu Luoye, and left Hulu Village.

Ayi accompanied her all the way to the village entrance, reluctantly saying, "Sister, I'm not with you anymore, you have to take good care of yourself. Even though you're someone's concubine, you can't be too bullied. If they bully you too much, come to me and I'll help you out."

"Sister is really good to me," Li Banfeng looked at Ayi and asked seriously, "Actually you know I'm not your sister, right?"

Ayi touched Li Banfeng's face and suddenly smiled: "The key point of our Taoism is that you should never do something you don't want to do, and you should never wait for something you want to do.

You don't have as bad a temper as Xiaoyu, and I don't owe you that much, so isn't it better for you to be my sister than Xiaoyu?"

Li Banfeng thought it made sense.

After leaving the village, Li Banfeng heard Ayi's singing again:

"Brother, the horsetail flowers on the mountain are in bloom. Brother, please walk slower and pick another flower for your sister..."

Not long after leaving Hulu Village, Li Banfeng received a call from Luo Zhengnan: "Seventh Master, something big has happened this time. Juanzi and the others have disappeared, Qiao Yi is coming, and Qiu Zhiheng is going crazy..."

Li Banfeng rushed to Santoucha and waited until he arrived at Xinjun's residence. Qiu Zhiheng lowered his head and said, "Seventh Brother, I'm sorry for you. No matter how you punish me, I won't say a word."

Zhong Er brought Juanzi, Mengzi and Xiaoshan in front of Li Banfeng, who stood beside them with a red face. Needless to say, the matter was clear.

Li Banfeng looked at Juanzi and the other three and nodded slightly, saying, "This is also good."

The face doesn't smile much anymore.

Qiu Zhiheng was shocked.

"Seventh Brother, Qiao Yi is coming soon. What are we going to tell him when he comes?"

"Who the hell is he? Why should I talk to him?" Li Banfeng didn't care. "Find another three-headed man to replace the new king."

Zhong Er also laughed. His idea was correct: "Seventh Master, the new king has been found."

He called Ah Song, Ah Xiu and Ah Fu over.

Qiu Zhiheng lowered his head even more: "I really can't stand seeing the three of them."

Li Banfeng was very satisfied: "They also have three heads, what's wrong with that? Call the Luo sisters over."

Qiu Zhiheng was a little worried: "Isn't it inappropriate to tell the Luo sisters about this now?"

Li Banfeng smiled calmly: "What's inappropriate?"

At first, Li Banfeng also wanted to train Juanzi and others to become new kings, but he was also worried that they would reveal their flaws.

But after going through so many things, Li Banfeng found that this was not important at all.

After leaving the new emperor's residence, Li Banfeng said to Qiu Zhiheng: "This matter is not your fault, there is no need to blame yourself. The Luo family wants to turn things around, all thanks to this new emperor, Qiao Yi wants to take power, also thanks to this new emperor. As for whether this new emperor is of royal blood, do you really care?"

Qiu Zhiheng was still worried: "A Xiu and the others are pure poor people, they don't look like emperors at all."

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "A rough man can be someone's girlfriend, so why can't a poor man be the emperor?"

PS: When Ayi was fighting with Shan Chengjun, she used the phrase "It's a pity we didn't meet earlier".
