Lord of Puluo

Li Banfeng and Chu Er sat opposite each other at the table, with a plate of bitter vegetables and two steamed buns in front of them. ♡♢

"The bitter herbs are delicious with salt added. You can try them."

Li Banfeng was not in the mood to eat bitter vegetables, and besides, this little food was not enough.

Chu Er's food was distributed monthly by Kucaizhuang, and he could only eat so much per meal. Even if Chu Er was a woman, she wouldn't be able to eat enough here.

"Where is my key?" This is what Li Banfeng is most concerned about.

Chu Er showed displeasure: "Did you come all this way to find me, or to find the key?"

Li Banfeng showed a smile: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Who do you think I am? Of course I came all the way here to find the key."

Chu Er's face turned pale with anger: "You don't have to speak so bluntly!"

"Hurry up and give me the key!"

"No!"

"You won't give it, right?"

"If you don't give it, what are you doing?"

"It can't be helped."

Li Banfeng really couldn't do anything to Chu Er.

He heard Ma Wu say that Chu Er had various ways of torturing herself, and torture and interrogation were useless.

After thinking for a moment, Li Banfeng changed his strategy. His eyes were full of tenderness and he looked at Chu Er: "I said I came to find the key. That was all the reason I came up with. I really want to come to you."

Chu Ershang rolled his eyelids and looked at Li Banfeng: "Are you telling the truth?"

Li Banfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Sincerely."

"Can you swear an oath and let me hear it?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not the kind of superstitious person."

Chu Er smiled and said, "Just think you are sincere. Tell me first, how did you come to Kucai Village?"

"It's a long story," Li Banfeng began to make up, "Didn't I find that the key was lost, so I looked for it everywhere, and I found Ma Wuna."

"Ma Wu told you that I have been to your house?"

"Yes, he told me!"

"He told you that I came to Kucaizhuang?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

Chu Er thought about it for a while, and it made sense: "What happened next?"

Still later.

This guy has so many problems.

Li Banfeng continued: "As soon as I heard that you went to Kucaizhuang, I was anxious and couldn't worry about you, so I tried to get a ticket and came over.

It’s my first time to come to this place, and I can’t tell the difference between east, west, and north. It was so hard to find your place..."

Chu Er widened his eyes and said, "Did you just arrive?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Just arrived."

"Then I just took a shower, did you see it?"

"I didn't see it. I missed such a good thing," Li Banfeng sighed and shook his head repeatedly, "When will you take a bath next time?"

"In half a year."

Li Banfeng blinked: "Do you wash it once every six months?"

Chu Er nodded seriously: "More or less?"

Li Banfeng blinked again: "Are you crazy?"

Chu Er answered seriously: "I'm not crazy. My dad took me to the hospital and the doctors said I'm not crazy."

"You've also been to the hospital? I've been to the hospital too! The doctor said the same!"

Chu Er smiled and said, "How about we have a fate."

While leaning forward and back, Li Banfeng discovered that there was a rope tied around her neck.

"Yes, it's fate!" Li Banfeng laughed loudly and immediately pounced on Chu Er.

Chu Er was shocked: "If you are destined, you can't be so fast. You wait first. You can't do it now..."

After a beating, Li Banfeng pulled the key from Chu Er's neck.

Chu Er covered his neck and gasped for a while.

Li Banfeng was so cruel that he almost strangled her to death.

"I knew you weren't here to find me!" Chu Er said with red eyes, "You heartless person, why did you lie to me?"

"I feel uncomfortable too. I feel ashamed for myself!" Li Banfeng stood up, put on his hat, walked to the door and said, "I have no shame to see you again, and we will never meet again."

For a moment, Li Banfeng really wanted to kill Chu Er.

Although she didn't know what the key was used for, Li Banfeng was worried that she would try to find the key again in the future.

But at the moment when he wanted to take action, his skill of seeking good luck and avoiding evil reminded him that he was in great danger. The specific reason is unknown.

This is Buccaizhuang, the base camp of bitter cultivation.

Killing someone here, killing a prominent ascetic, Li Banfeng was not sure what the consequences would be.

Li Banfeng left, and Chu Er didn't chase her. She took a bite of bitter herbs and said with a ferocious smile: "Let me see where you can go!"

Kucaizhuang is sparsely populated and the land is desolate.

Li Banfeng walked straight along the loess road. After walking for more than two miles, he only saw an earthen house, which was worse than the one Chu Er lived in. Apart from that, he saw no other buildings.

It's really a lifeless place. Even the insect-infested Haichi Ridge is better than Kucaizhuang.

Opening his pocket watch and looking at the time, and then at the position of the sun, Li Banfeng quickly identified the direction.

He is heading south.

Li Banfeng's goal is Xindi.

As long as you walk to the new land, you can compare it with Yao Lao's map and return to Lanyang Village.

But can we reach the new land by going south?

"Sister Calabash, have you ever been to Kucaizhuang?"

"What are you doing here? Are you looking for trouble? Ask your eldest sister, she is well-informed."

Go back to your home and ask about the record player?

This place is empty except for the loess, and there is not even a place to hide the key.

What if someone takes the key away again?

Besides, asking was in vain. Li Banfeng didn't know where he was. There were no landmark buildings here, and the record player couldn't give him directions.

There was a person in front of him, wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket, his whole body covered tightly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Li Banfeng stepped forward and asked for directions: "Uncle, I would like to ask how to get to Xindi?"

The man raised his head, his face covered with a scarf, and asked, "What are you going to do in Xindi?"

When he heard that the voice was that of a middle-aged woman, Li Banfeng quickly changed his words: "Sister, I came to Kucai Village for the first time and got lost. I wanted to go hunting in a new land."

The eldest sister shook her head and said, "Young man, do you know why you got lost?"

"Probably, by accident..."

This question was so profound that Li Banfeng really didn't know how to answer it.

"It's not that you are careless, it's that you haven't thought it through yet, that you haven't understood it thoroughly. You don't know why you are here, just like you don't know where you are going in the future.

Don't let desire block your eyes, don't let comfort blind your heart, don't let indulgence consume your ambition, don't let laziness corrupt your character. "

Li Banfeng stood there blankly and said, "I just want to ask for directions..."

On his body, a magic weapon was trembling, and he tried his best to say two words: "Shut up!"

You see, Judge Bi was so angry that he actually said two words!

How can laziness ruin character?

This woman is clearly talking nonsense.

The eldest sister sighed: "Young man, since you are here, you must calm down your mind. Only by calming down can you settle down, understand where you are going, and know the meaning of this life."

new

"That's what the eldest sister said." Li Banfeng nodded and walked away.

With such a person, there was no need to grind her teeth, she was stunned.

"Stop!" The woman refused to let Li Banfeng go, "Where are you going?"

"Go where I should go." Li Banfeng gave a very profound answer.

"Your heart is too impetuous," the eldest sister reached out and grabbed Li Banfeng's clothes, "You have no idea where you are going. Listen to me and stay."

Li Banfeng shook off the eldest sister and straightened his clothes: "I know where I'm going, so I won't bother you."

The eldest sister was a little disappointed with Li Banfeng: "You don't want to stay? After so many things, haven't you understood it yet?"

"Whether I have understood it or not is my own business, and it's none of your business." Li Banfeng's tone changed, and he became a little angry.

The eldest sister raised her head and looked at Li Banfeng with a pair of bloodshot eyes: "Why can't you stay? Why should you leave? If you really leave, won't all the hard work you have done before be wasted?

After all, you still haven't figured it out. You don't know why you are here, but I know that when I first saw you, I knew why you were here. "

First time meeting me?

Isn't it the first time now?

Why doesn't this eldest sister speak logically?

Li Banfeng didn't want to tangle with her, so he ran away.

The eldest sister seemed to be walking behind her and said to Li Banfeng, "Do you have to leave?"

How can this eldest sister run so fast?

I'm a third-level traveling cultivator, but I still can't outrun her?

Is her cultivation level so high?

Li Banfeng stopped running. He knew he couldn't run away: "Sister, I really accidentally arrived at Kucaizhuang. I'm not familiar with this place. Just let me go."

When I leave Kucaizhuang, I will not forget your kindness. Another day I will go to Lushui City to buy some good things and come back to visit you. "

The eldest sister was stunned for a moment: "You go to Green Water City, do you just want to leave Kucai Village?"

Li Banfeng was surprised: "What else? Where did I think I was leaving?"

The eldest sister nodded when she heard this and said: "It's not impossible to leave Kucai Village, but you have to follow my rules. As long as you can beat me, I will let you go."

Li Banfeng rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "Sister, you are joking. We are strangers. Why should I hit you?"

The eldest sister stretched her muscles and said: "I don't use techniques or weapons, otherwise I will bully you.

Let's compete with each other. As long as you can beat me, I will not only let you go, but also give you a ride. "

"That's what you said," Li Banfeng shook his head and sighed, "I am a man and you are a woman. How can I hit a woman?"

The eldest sister laughed and said: "What you said is quite like a gentleman..."

Bang!

Li Banfeng punched the eldest sister in the face.

The eldest sister was silent.

Li Banfeng said very seriously: "Sister, I hit you first. I have to win. We agreed."

The eldest sister sighed: "Okay, I'll let you go."

Li Banfeng looked delighted: "Then I will..."

Bang! The eldest sister suddenly raised her leg and kicked Li Banfeng.

This kick was so hard that Li Banfeng almost fell to the ground.

"Sister, you are so vicious!"

"You are unprepared because you haven't tempered yourself enough. I will let you go when you have tempered enough."

…

As the day went by, Chu Er was lighting a fire and cooking in the yard, when Li Banfeng came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Master Qi, what's going on?" Chu Er patted the dust on his palms, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you back?"

Li Banfeng laughed dryly and said, "I met an older sister on the way. She was so nice. She insisted on keeping me for a few more days.

I said I wouldn’t stay, and she said she could only leave if I beat her. I fought, but I didn’t win.

When I said I wouldn't fight, she said I wasn't exercising enough, so she kept beating me until now. "

Chu Er smiled: "Master Qi, you have met Granny Ku."

"Who is Granny Ku?"

"Grandma Ku is Grandma Ku. It's easy to enter Kucai Village. If you want to go out, Granny Ku must agree."

Li Banfeng looked at Chu Er blankly: "Can't you get out too?"

"I can't get out," Chu Er shook his head and said, "I have to wait until Granny Ku leaves before I can leave Ku Cai Manor."

"When will she leave?"

"Coming in February and leaving in May, she usually stays at Kucaizhuang for three months. I'm talking about the lunar calendar."

"The fifth lunar month?"

It's not the third month of the lunar calendar yet, so don't we have to stay here for more than two months?

"What is the origin of this bitter old woman?"

"I don't know where she comes from. Anyway, you should stay here with me, otherwise Granny Ku will beat you every time she sees her."

For dinner, it’s still bitter vegetables and steamed buns.

Chu Er looked at Li Banfeng affectionately: "Master Qi, you eat it. I couldn't bear to eat it myself, so I left it all to you."

Li Banfeng ate bitter herbs and chewed steamed buns, as if he had returned to his days in another state.

Seeing that Li Banfeng had eaten a lot, Chu Er sighed softly: "When you and Ma Wu were in trouble, didn't you also suffer like this?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Ma Wu has never suffered since he met me. He is my brother. As long as I can think of a way, I will not let my brother suffer."

Chu Er snorted coldly and said: "There is actually no harm in suffering a little."

"There are so many disadvantages to suffering, but I don't see any advantages."

"Do you know how to speak? I am an ascetic cultivator. You tell me that suffering is useless?"

"Leave the suffering to yourself! You only have a bed here, where can I sleep at night?"

Chu Er said softly: "Don't see anyone outside, just the two of us squeeze together."

Li Banfeng sneered: "Are you serious?"

"It's not serious," Chu Er shook his head and said, "It's not possible now. Granny Ku is here. We can't sleep together, otherwise she'll beat me to death as well."

"Does she care about this?"

"No matter what! She won't let her do anything that is about enjoying happiness. Not only does she care about this, but she also cares about taking a bath. She is in Kucai Village, and no one in the village can take a bath. Do you think I really take a bath once every six months?

I was trying to avoid her. Today I was really dirty and couldn't bear it, so I secretly wiped it with water. If she saw it, I would beat her to death! "

How can I survive more than two months?

No, we have to find a way to escape.

Late at night, Li Banfeng quietly left Chu Er's house and chose a direction relying on his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Go north, good luck to the north!

Li Banfeng ran for twenty miles without meeting Granny Ku all the way.

Sure enough, the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the most useful!

At the moment of joy, Li Banfeng stumbled over a stone and dropped the judge's pen to the ground.

"Why are you so careless?" Granny Ku picked up the judge's pen for Li Banfeng.

"I'll pay more attention next time." Li Banfeng accepted the judge's pen.

Granny Ku shook her head and said, "I think you still haven't understood it yet."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to Wuwu."

"You can't just rely on yourself to realize it. Someone has to help you refine it."

Li Banfeng held his head and said, "Can we change the hammer to someone else?"
