Lord of Puluo

With Curie on hand, the lady was breathing steam evenly and deeply, and she was still sleeping.

Li Banfeng was lying on the bed, counting the holes in his body.

The recovery ability of the house repairer is very strong, but the iron worm is also very good at drilling holes. Li Banfeng rested for a day and still did not fully recover.

But he is going out today.

This is not only the nature of traveling monks, but also the fear of unfamiliar environments.

It sounds contradictory. Isn’t it the right thing for travelers to wander in unfamiliar environments?

It depends on how unfamiliar it is.

When Li Banfeng first got off the train, he at least knew that the place he was in was called Yaowanggou.

Now he has no idea where he is. He only saw a wasteland before.

He was worried about leaving the key in a place like this for a long time.

Li Banfeng ate something, put on his hat, and left his home.

The key is still in the wasteland, more than 20 meters away from the endlessly flowing "Iron River".

This wasteland is very flat. There are no mountains, no trees, no grass, and not even a stone can be seen.

In this kind of environment with almost no reference, it is easy for people to get lost.

But Li Banfeng knew how to walk back.

Walking backwards along the river, at his speed, it won't take long to get back to a familiar place.

After not walking much for two days, Li Banfeng felt that his joints were a little stiff. After running for nearly three miles, he was out of breath and sweating profusely.

Li Banfeng leaned on his knees and gasped for a long time.

That’s not right!

No matter how bad his condition is, it is impossible for the traveling cultivator on the second floor to be unable to run down three miles.

Moreover, the current level of cultivation is not as simple as the second level. This time, Li Banfeng encountered Feng Daiku and Tiexiaocheng one after another when opening up new lands. After growing up for more than half a year, he was very close to the third level, but he couldn't even travel three miles. It really doesn't make sense that it would take so much effort.

Li Banfeng opened the kettle and took a big sip, looked at the "ever-flowing" Tiexian River, and walked slowly along the river.

After walking for more than two miles, Li Banfeng stopped.

He couldn't walk anymore, his legs were like shackles, extremely heavy.

And he didn't know where to go.

I had thought clearly before that I could get back to where I was by walking back against the "Iron River".

But he didn't expect that the Tiexian River had tributaries.

There are three tributaries ahead, which converge into the Iron Line River in front of you.

Which tributary should Li Banfeng go back along?

Judging from the width of the tributaries?

These three tributaries all look similar.

What worried Li Banfeng the most happened. He got lost in Xindi.

In this situation, Li Banfeng heard Ma Wu say that all those who had lost their way in the new land and survived had only one experience - to let nature take its course.

In the new land, a lot of common sense does not apply. Judging the direction depends entirely on memory and intuition. If the intuition is accurate, you can get out. If the intuition is not accurate, no one knows what will happen, because everyone with inaccurate intuition will die.

What should we do in this situation?

Li Banfeng calmed down and thought about countermeasures.

Li Banfeng didn't believe in intuition.

He decided to go back against the first tributary on the left. He was unconscious in the Curie for a total of twenty hours, and the key to the Curie followed the wireworm for twenty hours.

Li Banfeng felt that he was faster than an iron worm. He walked backwards for twenty hours. If he found that he was back at a familiar place, it would prove that he was on the right track.

If you don't go right, then you have to go back and start again. It only takes forty hours to go back and forth.

Maybe fifty.

There is something wrong with my current state, and I may not be able to move faster than a bug.

Three rivers, two wrong ones, and at most one hundred hours, the last river must be the right direction.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the worst-case scenario is that it will only take more than 120 hours of walking, 16 hours a day, and it will take eight days to get out.

I have enough food to carry around, and I am a little nervous about drinking water. If I really can't walk, ask the record player for help.

It's not that he can't trust the record player, it's because the record player has been sleeping and he doesn't know when he will wake up. She has eaten special ingredients and has no idea what the consequences will be if she forcefully wakes her up. What if she drinks all the water by the time she wakes up and it's too late to say anything? .

Moreover, the record player has always been inside the house, and it knows nothing about the outside environment. There are not many solutions that can be thought of.

Even if the lady can really think of a way, when discussing the route, one thing can easily be revealed. Li Banfeng has an unusual speed. The lady planned a 500-mile route, and Li Banfeng completed it in three hours. , this is very problematic, the lady will infer that Li Banfeng is a traveling monk.

Of course, he could also tell his wife that he was on the road all the time, but she was not that easy to deceive, and Li Banfeng would be in danger of his life even if he showed any flaws.

But if there is a last resort, for example, if there are several more tributaries ahead, then Li Banfeng can only turn to his wife for help, and even consider moving the record player outside.

Of course, the lady may not be willing to come out, and we will have to discuss it carefully when the time comes.

Li Banfeng started walking along the first tributary on the left. After gritting his teeth and walking for more than ten miles, he could no longer lift his legs.

I opened my pocket watch and saw that it took three hours to walk more than ten miles!

It seems that he is really in poor health.

Li Banfeng sat on the roadside and rested for a while.

Not to mention, as long as you don't walk, your physical fitness will recover quickly.

This should be the effect of home repair, and recovery should be faster after returning to the home.

Li Banfeng returned to his home, and his wife was still sleeping soundly.

Li Banfeng slept for more than half an hour, gathered up enough energy to move forward, and after walking for another dozen miles, his physical strength reached the end again.

If I don't have enough energy, I go back to my home to rest, rest for a while, eat something and then leave.

After going back and forth for dozens of miles, the front was blocked by a patch of thorns.

The thorns are distributed very densely on both sides of the bank. Li Banfeng now has two choices, one is to pass through the thorns, and the other is to enter the Tiexian River again and rush forward along the river.

He refused to enter the Tiexian River until his death.

But this thorn bush seems to be difficult to walk through.

Each thorn has been growing here for an unknown number of years. The upper half is green and the lower half is burnt black, looking like charcoal.

new

Li Banfeng touched the sharp thorns on the thorns and broke off one, which could be used as a singing needle for his wife.

Li Banfeng doesn't have a copper skin or an iron frame, so how can he go this way?

Reluctantly, he took out the Tang Dao.

Tang Dao looked at the thorns in front of him and said in astonishment: "Master, could you let me clear the way? For this matter, a sickle is more suitable."

"How big is a sickle?" A sickle with a length of more than ten centimeters is obviously not a good weapon for clearing a path in a thorn bush of this size.

"My lord, I can only chop three times. It will only depend on fate as to what the situation will be."

After Tang Dao finished speaking, he was about to chop. Li Banfeng shouted, "Wait a minute! Let me think about which direction to chop first."

Which direction can it be cut in?

Isn't it right to cut in the opposite direction of the river?

Li Banfeng felt something was wrong. Looking in the opposite direction of the river, Li Banfeng got goosebumps all over his body.

There is danger here, what kind of danger it is, Li Banfeng doesn't know yet.

After using the technique of seeking good luck and avoiding evil for a long time, Li Banfeng chose a position slightly to the left and let Tang Dao strike with all his strength.

A large piece of thorns fell down, and behind the thorns there were still thorns.

The road that was opened was only two meters deep, which made Li Banfeng a little disappointed.

There doesn't seem to be any danger here, but this direction doesn't bring any surprises.

Li Banfeng continued to use the technique of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck, and found that the most advantageous direction was still to the left.

What is so special about this location?

Li Banfeng asked Tang Dao to chop him again.

This time I cut more than three meters deep, and the thorns seemed to have softened a bit.

If you try the technique of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck again, this is still the direction.

Li Banfeng decisively slashed for the third time. This time, Li Banfeng saw a road.

It was not a road he had carved out by himself, but an original road in the thorn bush, a road that extended to the left and right.

Li Banfeng walked into the thorns and looked around.

The road is not wide and can accommodate two or three people passing side by side. There are thorns on both sides, but the thorns do not grow on the road. They grow densely on both sides of the road like a fence.

This road should be able to go through this thorny area, but which direction should we go?

Go left or right?

Li Banfeng took out the earrings and ordered: "You are full of oil and water, you have to work hard."

Can you tell the direction of wire earrings?

cannot.

But she could hear the change in the voice.

Only two sounds could be heard in the thorn bush, one was the whistling wind, and the other was the "squirming" sound of the Tiexian River not far away.

Li Banfeng walked to the right along the road, which was closer to the Tiexian River. After walking out of the thorns, he should still be on the shore.

After walking to the right for a short while, the road turns left.

After turning, there was a fork in the road ahead, and Li Banfeng continued to walk in the direction closer to Tiexian River.

After walking for five hours in the thorn bush and encountering more than a dozen forked roads, Li Banfeng had only one criterion for choosing a road, which was to be close to the Tiexian River.

The walk was very tiring. Every mile he walked, Li Banfeng felt like he had been running wildly all day.

After walking for more than three miles, Li Banfeng sat on the side of the road to rest for a while.

Through the string earrings, you can still hear the squirming sound of the river, which proves that he is not going in the wrong direction.

He looked carefully at the thorns on both sides. He didn't understand why the thorns didn't grow toward the road.

Is it controlled by some force, or is it trimmed regularly?

How could anyone prune?

Li Banfeng laughed at himself, got up and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard another voice coming from the silk earrings.

Phew~

A gust of wind came over.

The tone was high and the sound was loud, proving that the wind was strong and coming very quickly.

Li Banfeng sniffed and smelled something in the air.

It's smoke.

It's very faint, but it was recognized by Li Banfeng's exquisite skills.

The smell of smoke was approaching, and so was the strong wind.

not good! There might have been a fire.

Li Banfeng took out the key and opened the door, threw the key among the thorns, and immediately closed the door.

More than half an hour later, Li Banfeng tentatively opened the door.

There was no danger outside the door, so he quickly went out and picked up the key.

The road was empty except for some remaining ashes.

There was burnt smoke coming out from the roots of the thorns on both sides, and there were sparks in some places.

The key is a little hot, having been roasted by the fire just now.

The thorn bush is on fire?

Now the fire is out again?

This thorn bush is dangerous!

Li Banfeng ran quickly along the road regardless of his fatigue.

More than seven hours later, Li Banfeng smelled smoke again and hurried back home to escape.

This time he entered the door a little slower, and saw at the corner at the end of the road a human head about three meters in diameter. It had no hair, but had complete facial features. It had a pair of eyes open, the pupils moved back and forth, and flames were sprayed from its mouth. , slowly walked over from the road.

How did he leave?

Why can a human head without legs walk?

There seemed to be feet under his neck.

Li Banfeng did not dare to observe carefully. All the creatures that appeared on the road, including worms on the ground, flying insects in mid-air, and thorns that occasionally grew over the border, were all burned to ashes by the flames spit out from the heads.

Someone is indeed pruning these thorns, and this human head has been patrolling up and down the roads, never stopping.

Li Banfeng quickly threw the key into the thorn bush. At the same time, the head opened his eyes and looked at Li Banfeng.

I haven't seen a living person for a long time, and the head seems to be very interested in Li Banfeng.

After being glanced at by the head, Li Banfeng felt like his whole body was on fire.

It was really going to be on fire, and he was starting to smoke.

Not daring to stay any longer, he immediately closed the door and returned to his home.

PS: This human head is of a very high level. Is it possible that it is also a local god?
