Lord of Puluo

Granny Ku appeared in front of Shu Wanjuan. She was still dressed in the same clothes, a scarf and coarse clothes.

From head to toe, they were covered tightly.

Shu Wanjuan stared at Granny Ku and looked her up and down several times: "You really haven't changed after all these years."

Granny Ku also stared at Shu Wanjuan for a moment: "You have changed a lot. When I first met you, you looked like a storyteller in a teahouse, but now you look like a teacher in a private school."

Shu Wanjuan straightened his gown and took out a fan: "I also make a living as a storyteller. If I take off these glasses and a piece of wood, I can make a tael of silver a day. You can go sit in Chaoge some other time." , I will give you a private session in the teahouse."

Granny Ku waved her hand: "Thank you for your kindness. My bones are too hard. I really can't kneel down when I see your saint. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Chaoge."

Shu Wanjuan shook his sleeves: "Don't say nice things, how can you be better than a saint? Are there few people kneeling to you in Kucai Village? Isn't it because they kneel to you to make a living? "

Granny Ku shook her head and said, "I don't force others to kneel down, and I don't force others to come to Kucai Village either."

Shu Wanjuan smiled: "But you force people to suffer, whether they are studying literature, martial arts, doing business or performing arts, you are all guilty and have to suffer. After suffering, I still have to be grateful to you."

Granny Ku asked: "Don't you have to suffer if you follow the imperial court?"

Shu Wanjuan said: "You have to suffer when you follow the imperial court, but there is a limit to suffering. It's not like in Kucaizhuang, where many people suffered until they died without ever tasting a single bite of the sweetness.

Granny Ku laughed: "Then why don't you always follow the court? Why did you still follow the salesman in the first place?"

Shu Wanjuan spoke very frankly: "After studying literature and martial arts, I have always wanted to join the imperial family. I have always wanted to follow the imperial court.

But the previous court did not value talents, so I wanted to change the court.

Who would have thought that the salesman didn't want to be the emperor, and if the emperor was gone, where would the court be? I went through life and death with his colleagues, and in the end I only got money in exchange. Do you really think that I have sacrificed my life? "

Granny Ku really wanted to talk about this matter: "Aren't you working for the imperial court now?"

Shu Wanjuan shook his head and said: "This is different. The imperial court gave me a title, which is much more important than money.

In my fiefdom, I am the one who can decide whether to live or die. No matter servants, commoners, scholars, or even high-ranking officials, they all have to kneel before me in a dignified manner. "

Granny Ku smiled: "Back in the war, you were able to charge into battle, make suggestions, and do so many things for the salesman. Is that why?"

Shu Wanjuan didn't hide it at all: "What's wrong with this? Is there anything wrong? Why do people learn so many abilities and abilities in their lifetime? Isn't it just to become a master?

What are you doing at Buccaizhuang? Isn't it immoral to put sand in good rice? Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. You often say this, right? "

Granny Ku sighed and said, "You are so eloquent, but I can't speak to you. If you talk about these nonsense for three days and three nights, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it."

Shu Wanjuan shook his head and said: "This is not a wrong theory, it is a right principle. Not to mention three days and three nights, it has been said in various places in the world for thousands of years. It has been said in countless ways, but it is still the right principle!

To be superior to others, one must act like one is superior to others. What kind of thing is a salesman? Why do you want to change thousands of years of righteousness? You ask, does anyone in this world believe what he says? "

Granny Ku smiled and said, "Why didn't you say this in front of him?"

Shu Wanjuan's expression remained normal: "I can't say this to him, because I can't beat him! I don't believe in the salesman's reasoning, but I believe in his fists, don't you do the same?"

While speaking, Shu Wanjuan looked at He Jiaqing: "You are a smart young man. You know what justice is, and you also know how to change justice into a new form and create a brotherhood of flesh and blood to trick others into giving up their lives. To put it bluntly, don't you still want to be a saint?"

He Jiaqing remained silent, and Granny Ku said, "I want to save this man's life. For the sake of my fellow comrades, can you give me some face?"

Shu Wanjuan shook his head and said, "That won't work, unless he returns what he stole."

He Jiaqing asked: "What did I steal?"

"The deed!" Shu Wanjuan frowned, "At this point, are you still pretending to be confused?"

He Jiaqing really refused to admit it: "I don't have the deed in my hand to catch thieves and stolen goods."

Shu Wanjuan smiled: "My child, who told you about catching thieves and catching stolen goods? Are you laughing at me? He deceived you. When you really want to catch a thief, you don't have to catch the stolen goods. If you are called a thief, you are thief."

He Jiaqing frowned and said, "Li Qi also stole the deed and handed it over to Gu Wuyan. Everyone got the stolen goods. Why didn't you arrest him?"

Shu Wanjuan said with a straight face: "Although Li Qi stole the deed, he is not a thief!

"Why not?"

Shu Wanjuan said: "Because he is a prince! It is not illegal for a prince to steal things, so how can he be a thief?"

He Jiaqing smiled and said: "Senior, you have read many books of sages, haven't you heard that princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people?"

Shu Wanjuan laughed and sighed: "Young man, are you kidding me? Why should the prince share the same sin as the common people? Are you taking such deceptive nonsense seriously?"

Granny Ku said: "I don't want to grind my teeth anymore, I just want to save this person."

Shu Wanjuan shook his head and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth, you can't save this person!"

Granny Ku waved her hand, and her body burst into flames.

Shu Wanjuan's body caught fire at the same time, and the ink was evaporated and turned into black smoke, floating in the air.

The real Shu Wanjuan was still standing by the river, and Granny Ku could tell that the man by the river was indeed Shu Wanjuan's true form.

Granny Ku cut herself with a knife, and ink flowed out of Shu Wanjuan's body, and his body was scattered on the ground.

This is still ink.

Looking back in the blink of an eye, Shu Wanjuan is still standing by the river,

He Jiaqing didn't quite understand. Granny Ku had already seen Shu Wanjuan's true identity, but why was the ink mark still there after being hit by a technique?

Granny Ku knew in her heart that this was Shu Wanjuan's Tianhe skill. As long as he still had words on his body, he could resist harm for him.

Shu Wanjuan looked at Granny Ku with a smile: "I brought several books with me today. Let's take a bet. Is it because there are more words in the books or because you have a hard life?"

Turn his luck around and make the words on his body malfunction?

It's useless. He may have dozens of books and tens of millions of words on him. The chance of causing tens of millions of them to malfunction at the same time is extremely slim. Not even Ku Granny can do it.

Granny Ku asked: "Can't we let him go today no matter what?"

Shu Wanjuan shook his head: "I still say the same thing. As long as he returns the stolen deed, I can spare his life. The Ditou God of Xindi was originally a minister of Dashang. The minister has two intentions and should be killed. ,

But He Jiaqing is not a minister of Dashang. He is at most a thief. It doesn't matter whether the thief is killed or not.

But what the thief stole must be taken back.

As long as I do this, I will have an explanation when I return to Chaoge, and whether He Jiaqing is alive or dead will have nothing to do with me. "

Granny Ku looked at He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing looked calm and said: "I haven't taken their deed, what do you want me to give you?"

Shu Wanjuan frowned slightly: "Thieves are more concerned about food than beatings, but you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. This is your only chance to survive. Don't you know how to cherish it yourself?"

Granny Ku smiled and said, "I'm still standing here, so he still has a lot of chances to survive, right?"

Shu Wanjuan sighed: "We still have comradeship, but we can't bear your squandering. Do you think you can really beat me?"

"It's hard to say whether I can beat you, but I know you won't be able to fight for long." Granny Ku waved her hand, and the small river next to Shu Wanjuan suddenly turned red, and the water flowing in the river was no longer water, but turned into lava.

Granny Ku pulled He Jiaqing to stand on the lava and said to Shu Wanjuan: "Come here and fight. I'll see how long it takes you to kill me.

You've killed so many local gods, and the salesman is coming soon. Let's see how long you can last! "

He Jiaqing's face turned pale, and he stepped on the magma with his feet. The feeling was unpleasant. This was not ordinary magma.

He couldn't hold on for long either.

Shu Wanjuan squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully.

It is not difficult to kill He Jiaqing, but Granny Ku has the skills of heaven and earth. It will definitely not be easy to kill her in a short time.

And Granny Ku was right, Shu Wanjuan had to leave Puozhou before the salesman arrived.

After a long silence, Shu Wanjuan made no move, and Granny Ku took He Jiaqing away.

Watching the two of them go away, Shu Wanjuan showed a smile. His goal was achieved.

We chased those who needed to be chased, fought those who needed to be beaten, and things that needed to be said have been made clear.

This was originally the result he expected. Instead of having a life-or-death showdown with Granny Ku, he had a better way to solve the problem.

Back at the synagogue, Shu Fangjuan pulled out two people from the pile of dead people, one was Qian Xiangjun and the other was Chu Yaoxian. He deliberately left these two people behind. Because of their confusion, these two people did not dare to resist. I didn't want to run away either.

Shu Wanzhuan patted Qian Xiangjun on the forehead, said a few words to him, and then put him aside.

Then he came to Chu Yaoxian and comforted him: "Girl, are you scared?"

Chu Yaoxian was trembling all over: "Senior, please spare my life, I know I was wrong."

Shu Wanjuan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. This is your territory. In your territory, no one dares to kill you, otherwise it will violate the rules of the salesman."

Chu Yaoxian didn't understand. What did this mean?

Does the person in front of me need to abide by the rules of the salesman?

Shu Wanjuan explained: "I don't need to pay attention to the rules of the salesman, but He Jiaqing cannot violate the salesman's rules, he must abide by the rules, so he has killed so many local gods, but he did not kill you."

Chu Yaoxian became even more confused after hearing this!

How did He Jiaqing kill the local god?

Shu Wanjuan repeated it again: "It was He Jiaqing who killed the Ditou God. You must remember it and there can be no ambiguity."

Chu Yaoxian didn't dare agree. She still couldn't understand Shu Wanjuan's intention.

Shu Wanjuan said: "You may have true feelings for He Jiaqing, but he has no true feelings for you. He doesn't want to kill you because he is just afraid of being punished by the salesman."

Chu Yaoxian's expression was dazed for a while, and she felt as if she had been hit by some kind of unpredictable technique.

She had indeed mastered the technique, but it was not that unfathomable. This was the most basic technique of literary cultivation, a layer of skill on the ground and a lotus flower at the mouth.

Shu Wanjuan patted Chu Yaoxian's forehead: "He Jiaqing used you to gather these local gods together in order to kill them and monopolize their territory. If you don't believe me, ask him, he is He Jiaqing's subordinate. "

Chu Yaoxian looked at Qian Xiangjun.

Qian Xiangjun said to Chu Yaoxian: "He Jiaqing killed all the local gods here. He Jiaqing used hard cultivation techniques and stolen cultivation techniques to kill them."

Will He Jiaqing practice hard skills?

If Qian Xiangjun said he could, then he would definitely do it.

Chu Yaoxian's eyes were dull and he nodded towards Shu Wanjuan.

Shu Wanjuan said: "As for how He Jiaqing killed these local gods, I have already written it down. You have to read it carefully."

He took out a piece of article from his sleeve and pressed it on Chu Yaoxian's forehead.

Every word of the article penetrated Chu Yaoxian's mind, and Chu Yaoxian nodded frequently: "Yes, it was He Jiaqing who killed him. He Jiaqing used penance skills and stealing skills to kill them. Those local gods were originally here for a meeting. , As a result, they were not prepared at all, and were given to He Jiaqing..."

Shu Wanzuan laughed: "You are right. He Jiaqing has killed so many local gods, but he has not violated the rules of the salesman. What do you think the salesman will do?"

Chu Yaoxian shook his head and looked at Shu Wanjuan with a blank expression.

Shu Wanjuan sighed: "The salesman is feeling uncomfortable. He can suffer from overt losses, but he can also suffer from hidden losses. But this mute loss is really hard to swallow."

Granny Ku took He Jiaqing and originally wanted to escape to Kucaizhuang. They passed by the boundary where Ren Xiuqiu Sandao was standing and reached a forest. He Jiaqing suddenly stopped.

His chest was injured by Shu Wanjuan, and his legs were burned by lava, but He Jiaqing could still move.

He took out a dozen feathers from his arms and threw them on Qiu Sandao's territory.

The feathers fluttered in the wind, and the furthest ones reached the edge of the woods and fell to the ground.

Ku Pozi knows this technique, it is a stolen cultivation technique, no treasure will be lost.

"what are you up to?"

He Jiaqing said: "Senior, please wait for me for a moment."

He lay on the ground and dug down along the spot where the feathers landed, and found many spiritual objects. He Jiaqing looked down upon them and threw them aside.

After digging up the twelfth feather, He Jiaqing finally found what he wanted, the deed of Qiu Sandao.

Ku Pozi said blankly: "How do you know that Qiu Sandao's deed is in this forest?"

He Jiaqing said: "I have been planning for this matter for almost ten years. I have stepped on all these areas. I dare not say that I am sure of it, but I dare not say that it is not bad."

The bitter woman frowned and said, "It's already come to this, and you still want to steal?"

He Jiaqing said: "We are already at this point, why not steal?"

"Shu Wanjuan may still come after him."

"As long as I run fast enough, he may not be able to catch up with me." He Jiaqing ran all the way to Zhuang Jiahan's territory.

Late at night, Li Banfeng entered the stairwell from the sixteenth floor and followed the stairs to the twelfth floor.

The twelfth floor was a floor he was familiar with because there used to be a fake information room here.

The last time I came here, I didn't find this fake information room. This time I changed the route. I don't know what the effect will be.

Opening the corridor door, a large iron door appeared in front.

Li Banfeng smiled and saw the big iron gate. The result was much better than before. At least the puzzle in the stairwell had been triggered now.

The projector controlled the monitoring equipment, Gloves opened the door, and Li Banfeng released Banfeng B: "Vanguard Army, attack!"

Ban Fengyi said angrily: "You want me to go empty-handed?"

Li Banfeng wanted to give the sickle to Ban Feng B, but was worried that Ban Feng would not come back, so he lost the sickle.

He took out a dagger from his arms, handed it to Bian Feng Yi and said: "I don't even want to use this new one issued by the Dark Star Bureau.

There you have it. "

Ban Feng Yi wanted to take a bite of Li Ban Feng, but unfortunately there was no spit. He entered the house with a dagger. He didn't see the reference room, but saw a knife struck from the top of his head.

Ban Fengyi smiled disdainfully: "Can this thing hurt me?"

He easily dodged the guillotine, and an invisible blade cut him in half.

Ban Fengyi was shocked, he really couldn't be careless about this.

A long knife is coming towards you, should you hide or not?

There seems to be no reason not to hide.

Ban Fengyi quickly turned sideways, and both shadows avoided the long knife.

Another invisible blade slashed over, cutting the two shadows into four pieces.

If you avoid the visible sword, you will seemingly fall into the trap of the invisible blade.

But this trap is so accurate, could someone be manipulating it?

About ten minutes later, dozens of companions Feng Yi walked out of the house.

"At first, I thought there was an engineering mechanism in this room, but after careful investigation, I found that there should be a top swordsman in this room, but he might be a revenant. I don't have the skills to see clearly where he is. , I suggest you go in and see for yourself.”

Li Banfeng looked at a group of Banfeng B, nodded and said: "The vanguard army is becoming more and more impressive!"

Ban Fengyi pointed at the big iron gate: "You really don't want to go in and take a look? I think that blade repairer is quite powerful."

"You already know it's Ren Xiu, why should I go in to see--"--" Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment as he said something. He felt something flashing.

What?

Li Banfeng asked the projector: "Are all the monitoring equipment under control?"

The projector said: "Don't worry, Director Qi, they are all our friends now."

Honglian looked worried in the fifth room: "Has the message I asked you to send sent to the place?"

Wufang replied: "It's been delivered, I've been flashing!"

Honglian cursed secretly: "After receiving the news, why are you doing all this mess? She is really not serious!"

Hong Ying and Miss Jiu were watching from the fifth room, but they couldn't hear the conversation between the two. They just felt that it was too risky for Li Qi to do this.

After finding nothing on the twelfth floor, Li Banfeng went down three more floors and went to the ninth floor.

Honglian reminded Wufang: "Send the signal again, and send it quickly."

Li Banfeng looked behind him from time to time.

Wufang responded: "Don't be too hasty, Li Qi seems to have discovered it."

Honglian was very decisive and kept urging Wufang to continue sending signals.

She was not worried that Li Qi would notice something. Even if he noticed something unusual, Li Qi would not give up the investigation easily.

She was worried that the person she was looking for was not prepared and would cause another accident.

Li Banfeng pushed open the corridor door and saw the big iron door again.

Li Banfeng opened the iron door with his gloves and looked inside. There was a white stone statue standing inside.

The stone statue was more than five meters tall, wearing a long gown and gorgeous hair accessories. She was a very beautiful ancient woman.

In addition to this statue, there were no other furnishings in the room. Perhaps because the carving was too good, the statue looked very realistic. Banfengyi was very obsessed with it. Without Li Banfeng's instructions, they took the initiative to enter the house and formed a circle around the statue.

Seeing that Banfengyi and others were safe and sound, Li Banfeng also entered the room and walked around the statue several times.

Follow the key and Li Banfeng turned around. The family also saw the statue against the wall of the fifth room.

Jiuer exclaimed: "The goddess!"

Hongying looked carefully for a moment: "Yes, it's her!"

The two looked at Honglian together. The goddess was Honglian's master.

Honglian was covered with dewdrops, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't go over there!"

Hongying was startled: "What's wrong?"

Honglian shouted: "Someone remind Li Qi not to let him go over there!"

Hongying looked at Jiuer, and Jiuer was speechless for a long time.

How to remind Li Qi now?

He was outside the house, and no one could say anything.

Honglian cursed in her heart: "Damn it, what is the point of bringing this thing out again?"

She asked the fifth room to remind Li Qi, but the fifth room kept silent.

If she reminded him at this time, there were some things that the fifth room could no longer explain.

Li Banfeng stood in front of the statue, looked up for a moment, and felt that there was nothing special, so he turned around and was about to leave.

Honglian let out a long breath, thinking that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, the statue suddenly opened its eyes and smiled at Li Banfeng's back.

Honglian's heart was hanging.

The statue opened its lips and exhaled toward Li Banfeng's back.

Li Banfeng shuddered and fell to the ground.

A group of Banfeng Yi fell to the ground with Li Banfeng.

Hongying and Jiuer were terrified.

Honglian shouted: "Quick, find a way to get him back!"
