Lord of Puluo

Scattered branches and leaves, withered seedlings, if Li Banfeng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that what he saw was real.

This is the earliest boundary of Ji Banfeng. It was a new land obtained from the master of Ba Mountain. The local god here is called Li Furong.

Li Furong's deeds were all in order. Under Zhang Wanlong's management, the land was originally prosperous. Li Banfeng wanted to come back to see the root situation and at the same time reduce the popularity of the land, but he did not expect that the place would turn into such a miserable state.

The crop fields were in ruins. Li Banfeng went to the village built by Zhang Wanlong. The buildings in the village were still there.

But all the villagers were gone.

No matter the villagers with their own characteristics and complex behaviors, or the villagers who looked like Zhang Wanlong and could only do simple labor, they all disappeared.

Li Banfeng walked to Zhang Wanlong's house. The furnishings in the house were relatively clean, and there was still some rice in the pot.

Although it was cold, there was no mold.

Zhang Wanlong should still live here, where are the others?

Where did he take the roots?

After walking out of the door, Li Banfeng sniffed. The whole village was filled with a dilapidated and desolate atmosphere.

Even Zhang Wanlong's home felt strange to him. It was completely different from the house Li Banfeng was familiar with before.

Li Banfeng searched around the fields and finally saw Zhang Wanlong in a field.

Zhang Wanlong was holding a water ladle and was watering the seedlings. Genzi was holding a spoon and was following behind to apply fertilizer. Li Banfeng asked, "Brother Zhang, what happened?"

If Li Qi hadn't spoken, Zhang Wanlong wouldn't have known he was coming. The fourth-floor residence on the clouds was too concealed.

"Master Qi, be careful when you step, don't step on the seedlings." Zhang Wanlong was much more haggard than before. He kept staring at Li Banfeng's feet. He was really afraid that Li Banfeng would step on the seedlings. .

When Xiao Genzi saw Li Banfeng, his eyes turned red and his voice trembled: "Master Qi, all the crops are dead, only these few seedlings are left, only this is left——"

Xu wanted to cry but couldn't. Genzi's voice was a little unclear when he spoke.

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Speak more clearly. What happened? Someone called?"

Genzi shook his head and said, "No one hit me."

"Insect trouble?"

"No."

"Is it hailing?"

Zhang Wanlong's eyes were also red: "Seventh Master, there is no disaster, no harm, the crops in this ten-mile radius are just gone!"

Li Banfeng couldn't ask any more questions. He was a layman in farming, while Zhang Wanlong was a first-rate master. He couldn't mess around here.

But things here must be carefully investigated. This is our own territory. Who dealt such a cruel blow to Zhang Wanlong here?

He Jiaqing?

Or Seolhwapo?

Li Banfeng summoned the weirdos around him, and Lao Niu, the most educated man, told Li Banfeng about the situation: "Master Qi, we get along well with Brother Zhang, especially those of us who are vegetarians. We have learned a lot from Brother Zhang." Get food,

In the past few days, I don’t know what happened, the crops were completely destroyed one by one, and we don’t know who caused the damage. If we find out, we will kill this bastard! "

Li Banfeng warned Lao Niu: "Go and inquire more to see if anyone knows the inside story."

Lao Niu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master Qi, I will do my best to investigate."

"Okay, I've found the clues. I'll tell the Earth God that I will remember your merits and reward you for your cultivation!"

That being said, it's hard to expect this group of aberrations to work.

Li Banfeng went to the next door. When he heard that Li Qi was coming, Meng Yuchun was so excited that he took Li Banfeng's hand and went directly into the back room.

Meng Yuchun's territory was opened in half, all thanks to the three-headed man Li Banfeng lent her.

Not only that, Li Banfeng also gave her the other half of the deed.

Meng Yuchun didn't know how to repay Li Qi. As a homesteader, she didn't know much about etiquette. She just felt that for a benefactor like Li Banfeng, she should give everything to him.

"This is my sleeping place. This is my bed. There is a room over there where my spirit sleeps. Go in and have a look."

She pulled Li Banfeng into Zhai Ling's room and saw a mahogany dressing table with a bronze mirror on the dressing table.

Meng Yuchun said: "This is my house spirit."

Li Banfeng took a look with his golden Qiuhao skills. There was a woman in the bronze mirror. She looked twenty-five or six.

She seems to be about the same age as Meng Yuchun. In terms of appearance, she can be considered pretty, but she is much inferior to Meng Yuchun.

She was looking out of the mirror curiously. She was very curious about what kind of person Li Qi was.

But she felt that Li Qi was also looking at her, and she was so frightened that she quickly moved her gaze elsewhere.

Meng Yuchun continued: "That's my treasure room. All the magic weapons in my house are placed in that room.

There is also a room where some gadgets are kept. They are all women’s playthings. If you like them, go and have a look.

And that door, that’s where I used to escape, I had to leave a way out for myself——”

"Stop it!" Li Banfeng waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me these things."

Meng Yuchun shook his head and said: "I should tell you everything about me, and I shouldn't hide anything from you!"

Li Banfeng said: "I came to you for one thing. There is a master of farming in my land.

You know it. "

Meng Yuchun nodded and said, "You are talking about Zhang Wanlong, I think. I have bought a lot of food from him and I am an acquaintance with him."

"Something happened to him recently, did you know?"

"I know a little bit. His crops withered, and I still don't know why. I guess that a worm cultivator or a poison cultivator harmed him, but this is just a guess. I don't have any clues."

Meng Yuchun also has no clues.

Who could have done it?

Li Banfeng returned to Zhang Wanlong's farm. Zhang Wanlong was still taking care of the rice seedlings in the fields. Li Banfeng wanted to ask Zhang Wanlong if he had met an enemy recently, but unexpectedly, someone asked this question for him.

"Wanlong, have you offended anyone recently?"

Although Li Banfeng did not sense any malice, he still hid far away.

Zhang Wanlong was startled, and Xiao Genzi trembled with fear. The two of them quickly saluted: "Master."

Xu Han is here.

Li Banfeng heard from Old Yao that Old Xu had something to deal with. Could it be that he came here specifically to deal with Zhang Wanlong?

Xu Han squatted down and picked a leaf from the seedling: "Didn't you hear me asking you a question just now?

Did you offend anyone?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said, "I didn't offend anyone."

Xu Han checked two more leaves: "Think about it carefully."

Zhang Wanlong thought for a long time and remembered three people: "A Wu Xiu came here before. He wanted to buy seeds, but I didn't sell them to him."

He was talking about Du Wenming.

Xu Han waved his hand and said, "It's not Wu Xiu, let's talk about someone else. ‘

“Another one is He Jiaqing, he also wanted to buy seeds, but he and Qi Ye were not on good terms, I didn’t want him to offend people, so I didn’t sell to him.”

Xu Han was silent for a while and said: “He is a thief, it could be him, let’s talk about others.”

Zhang Wanlong said: “There is also a foreigner named Cui Tike, he also came to buy seeds, but at that time, Desong Cliff had just had an incident, I didn’t want to be implicated by him, so I didn’t sell to him—..”

“No need to say,” Xu Han sighed, “Even if you are a farmer, you can’t avoid these right and wrongs!”

Zhang Wanlong cried: “Master, I have worked hard to save a few acres of land, and only these few seedlings are left. I think there seems to be something wrong with this leaf.”

Xu Han took the leaf in his hand, took another look, and then threw it into the field: “Follow me.”

Zhang Wanlong saw hope, and excitedly caught up with Xu Lao with the root.

Li Banfeng also followed behind, and the four of them walked outside the field together. Xu Lao took out the pipe and smoked a pack of cigarettes.

After smoking half of the pack of cigarettes, Old Xu threw the ashes out of the pot.

The dust flew into the sky, turned into sparks, and fell on the crops like raindrops.

Zhang Wanlong wailed: "Master, what are you doing!"

He was about to rush into the crops, but was stopped by Xu Han: "These crops are sick. I have never seen these lesions. Once they spread out, there will be endless harm!"

Sick? Lesions?

Li Banfeng's heart trembled. According to Old Xu, the culprit of this matter has been confirmed.

Could it really be Cui Tike?

Zhang Wanlong was still crying, Xu Han frowned and said: "Why are you crying? Can't you afford to lose? As a farmer, you have no heart at all, you deserve to be plotted against!"

"Master, put out the fire, I'll think of a way!"

Old Xu shook his head and said: "This fire cannot be put out, it must burn for three days, burn the lesions clean, and never take it outside the land.

Wanlong, wipe your tears, this fire can burn the lesions and insects, and the ashes can nourish the land. When everything is burned clean, you can sow seeds again.

The previous harvests are just considered to be robbed by others. We are farmers, and we have to learn to get up by ourselves when we fall."

Zhang Wanlong squatted on the ground and cried, and Xiaogenzi followed him crying, tears falling one by one, feeling uncomfortable, but seemed not to dare to cry out loud.

Old Xu turned to look at Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, who is Cui Tike? Is he yours or the peddler's?"

Li Banfeng said: "He is my friend."

Old Xu nodded and said: "Since he is your friend, please tell him a message. He and my disciple did have a feud before. I don't want to ask about right and wrong.

My disciple suffered a loss this time, and I don't intend to argue with him, but if there is a next time, I must ask him for an explanation."

After that, Xu Han turned and disappeared into the night.

Xiao Genzi cried: "Brother Zhang, Master is gone, let's put out the fire quickly."

Zhang Wanlong cried and shook his head: "Brother, don't make a fool of yourself. What is our master's method? He said that the fire will burn for three days, so it must burn for three days, not one day less."

Li Banfeng advised: "Don't be sad for the two of you, go home if you have something to say."

Zhang Wanlong also said that he wanted to go home, but his home was gone.

The farm and house he and Xiao Genzi operated were all burned. The fire set by Old Xu almost covered all the land within a radius of ten miles.

Li Banfeng had built a wooden house on the land before, and arranged for the two to live there temporarily. There were also people operating on Youtao and He Yuxiu's land, with water and food, so they had no shortage of food.

The surrounding monsters rushed over and sent a lot of expenses to the two. It should be said that Zhang Wanlong was really popular. Under the comfort of everyone, his emotions gradually calmed down.

After sending the others away, Li Banfeng asked Genzi: "How is your cultivation?"

Xiao Genzi said: "Thanks to the guidance of Brother Zhang, I am now almost at the sixth level."

Li Banfeng nodded: "Work harder, remember to find me when you reach the seventh level."

Zhang Wanlong suffered such a great loss, and Li Banfeng gave him some pills. Zhang Wanlong waved his hands and said: "This is not allowed, Master Qi, this is my own feud, and it has nothing to do with you."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "I am not apologizing for Cuitike, I am thanking you for my roots. With your cultivation level, these elixirs may not be used. You can exchange them for money or something else." Okay, let’s bite the bullet and start running the land.”

After chatting for a while, Li Banfeng left, and Zhang Wanlong and Genzi saw him off.

When it was time to say goodbye, Genzi sobbed and shed tears again.

Zhang Wanlong sighed: "Brother, don't cry. I've cried enough just now. If you cry again, Master Qi will laugh!

"

Genzi wiped his eyes and said, "I didn't cry, I let the wind and sand blur my eyes."

Li Banfeng nodded: "I'm leaving first. If you need anything, remember to find me."

After walking far away, the firelight behind him was still clearly visible, but Li Banfeng never heard Genzi's cry.

Should Genzi cry out?

should!

Li Banfeng had seen Genzi cry. Genzi cried loudly when he forced himself into Jinxiumen for stealing medicinal powder.

His temperament is like this. He laughs loudly when he is proud, cries loudly when he is frustrated, and picks up the bucket when fighting. He has no habit of gritting his teeth and crying.

The wind and sand blurred my eyes.

Is there such a strong wind and sand here?

Li Banfeng took a detour, passed through the cliff without any hindrance, and entered the house of the Earth God.

The blind mountain wolf was very happy when he heard that Li Banfeng was back. Li Banfeng was worried that they would not have enough to eat, so he brought them a lot of food and drink.

The mountain wolf waggled its tail and said: "Master, it's rare for you to come back once, how can you let us eat your food? The monsters in the mountains usually bring us food. I asked the chef to prepare food and wine. You have to stay at home no matter what. Have a meal!”

Li Banfeng first went to the backyard, took the land stamp, and gained popularity.

The popularity of Ditou Yin is very high, which is expected. The crops grown by Zhang Wanlong can generate popularity, which has been verified before.

Li Banfeng took the Ditou Seal and assigned cultivation levels to the monsters in the house. He returned to the earth and assigned cultivation levels to the monsters until the Ditou Seal was cleared. He returned to the house with the Ditou Seal. .

What Shan Lang said before was not polite. He actually asked someone to prepare wine and food: "Master, if you think highly of us, let's have a meal."

Li Banfeng had a meal at the house. He usually came back too little, and his family was a little afraid of him.

But when it was time to eat, everyone felt that the master was very easy-going. Knowing that they could not see, Li Banfeng even helped them personally when pouring wine and serving food.

After having enough wine and food, Li Banfeng went to the backyard and put the land seal back into its original position.

As soon as he put it on, Li Banfeng felt that something was wrong.

There is a feeling printed on the ground, and it has gained popularity.

Li Banfeng waited for a moment, took the land seal from the deed, and put it on his head.

Popular, not much in number, but Li Banfeng can sense it.

It only takes a few hours to take down the land seal, gain popularity, divide cultivation levels, have a meal, and get it back again.

Why is it so popular these few hours?

It would be fine if it was Green Water City. There are many people, and the popularity is naturally strong. It is right to receive some. In such a desolate land, Zhang Wanlong's vegetative army is gone. Where does this popularity come from?

Li Banfeng put the land seal back and sat in the main hall of the mansion, lost in thought. Zhang Wanlong's crops were sick. Was it really Cui Tike's fault?

Cui Tike is a ruthless person, Li Banfeng admitted this, but Zhang Wanlong just refused to sell him the seeds. Is this worth Cui Tike's revenge?

Moreover, Li Banfeng solved the matter for Cui Tike. He wanted to take revenge on Zhang Wanlong. What should Li Banfeng say to him?

This is not something Tritik can do.

Who did this?

After thinking for a long time, Li Banfeng picked up the Ditou Seal again.

Ditou Yin became popular again, and Li Banfeng was very surprised by the speed of its popularity.

Could it be that Zhang Wanlong’s army of vegetative people is still there?

Where is it?

In the fire, Li Banfeng walked back and forth in the flames.

He held Luhuazi's bowl in his hand and quietly observed the changes in the three spoons.

The flames left by Xu Han were very fierce. Li Banfeng relied on seeking good luck and avoiding evil, Bu Wuhen and riding the wind and clouds to stop and go in the fire. After traveling for two full hours, he finally found an entrance.

When he opened the entrance, the scene in front of him shocked him.

He saw a road with lush crops on both sides.

The road leads to a village. At the entrance of the village there is an old man squatting at the door smoking a cigarette.

A woman was threshing corn with a child on her back.

There was a shy girl who lit an oil lamp in the room and carefully traced the copybook.

Zhang Wanlong's two daughters-in-law were washing clothes in the yard.

Li Banfeng entered Zhang Wanlong's yard, sat at the table, looked at the two women, and smiled: "Please ask your man to come to see me and tell Li Qi to find him."

The woman didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly left the house. After a while, Zhang Wanlong came.

"Seventh Master."

Zhang Wanlong was a little embarrassed when he saw Li Banfeng.

But after being embarrassed for a while, Zhang Wanlong's expression returned to normal.

"You have seen it, so I won't say more."

Li Banfeng nodded: "Brother Zhang, can you tell me what the origin of this place is?"

Zhang Wanlong said: "I have been farming here for so many days and discovered this nameless place. So I built a new village in this nameless place to give myself an extra layer of defense."

Li Banfeng raised his head and raised the brim of his hat: "Who are you guarding against?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said, "Seventh Master, I am definitely not on guard against you. I know you are the local god of this land."

Li Banfeng did not deny: "How did you know?"

Zhang Wanlong replied: "This is not difficult for me. Farming depends on the land. You have been to the underground city of Santoucha. There is a place called Tushi in the underground city. I have stayed there for a long time.

I have a sense of the land, and this land has a sense of you. Every time you come, this land is very happy.

I have been farming on this land. I have been I have never been on guard against you. I am doing this to guard against my master. "

Li Banfeng said: "Did you know your master was coming?"

Zhang Wanlong nodded: "In my life, the person I fear most is my master. I must pay attention to his whereabouts."

Li Banfeng touched the dining table. This table is very familiar. He has eaten at this table: "So you have rebuilt such a big farm?"

Zhang Wanlong sighed and said: "This is also unavoidable. I have worked hard for so many days and finally made a name for myself. I can't let my master ruin it."

Li Banfeng picked up the teacup, which was very familiar to him. He had drunk tea here before: "Can't you talk to Mr. Xu about it?"

Zhang Wanlong smiled bitterly: "Seventh Master, you don't know the difficulties here. I want to do something different, but in my master's eyes, everything I do is wrong.

You just saw it. He said that the crops have lesions. There are many ways to destroy the lesions, but he just wanted to set fire.

Seventh Master, do you think the master really trusts me? This fire burned the crops, the farm, and the land to the three 1 foot deep,

If I hadn't taken precautions in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to leave even a single seed. ”

Li Banfeng raised his head and said: "So, you built this farm recently?"

Zhang Wanlong nodded and said: "I built it recently, and I did it right. At least I left the important things.

Seventh Master, for the sake of our friendship, can you not tell my master about this?

If you really want to tell him, you won't have anywhere to exchange for those good seeds in the future. ’

Li Banfeng didn't answer, he asked one thing first: "What's going on with the crops on the ground? Why did so many crops wither? How did you deceive Old Xu?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head: "I didn't lie to him, those crops were really sick, but the disease was caused by me.

Li Banfeng: "Do you have the means to cure diseases?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said: "No, but a friend of mine does. He has always wanted my seeds, so I did a business with him."

Li Banfeng asked: "Is your friend Cui Tike?"

Zhang Wanlong did not deny it.

Li Banfeng put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I won't tell anyone about this for the time being."

Zhang Wanlong nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Qi."

He didn't send Li Qi out because he knew that Li Qi definitely didn't want to be followed at this time.

He trusted Li Qi's promise, but the word "temporarily" made him feel uneasy.

Why did Li Qi find this place? This was Zhang Wanlong's biggest doubt.

Will this matter be related to Genzi?

Genzi is still over there in the cabin. Should I go over and take a look?

Zhang Wanlong stood up and suddenly heard a crisp sound of dingling.

A silver dollar fell to the ground.

Someone put a silver dollar on him!

Who put it there? When did they put it there?

Zhang Wanlong picked up the silver dollar and looked at it in front of the oil lamp.

Two words were engraved on the front of the silver dollar: Gengxiu.

Two words were engraved on the back: Kuishou.

Zhang Wanlong tightened the silver dollar, and his body couldn't help trembling with fear and excitement.

Li Banfeng was walking on the road to the manor, wondering whether he should go to Cuitik to ask the truth.

Looking at every blade of grass and every pedestrian, Li Banfeng felt very familiar.

Because he had been here, Lvxiu would not forget the road he had walked.

Zhang Wanlong did not tell the truth. This manor was not newly built. This was Zhang Wanlong's original manor. It was burned down by Old Xu. It was his newly built manor. That manor made Li Banfeng feel unfamiliar.

But how did Zhang Wanlong move the entire manor into the unnameable place?

Did he move it in, or did he lock it in?

Li Banfeng had seen the lock repair technique in Huangtu Town, but the peddler said that the lock repair had been lost. How did Zhang Wanlong use the lock repair technique?

If it weren't for Genzi's mention of "wind and sand", which reminded Li Banfeng of the wind and sand land, he might never find this place.

Genzi also reminded one thing before, Zhang Wanlong had iron bamboo in his hand, although it was not ten-ribbed.

Think about Cuitik again.

If Cui Tick really made a lesion that could poison crops, what kind of business would he do with Zhang Wanlong?

Zhang Wanlong just acted in front of Mr. Xu and pushed everything to Cui Tick. In this business, Cui Tick took extremely high risks and might even be retaliated by Mr. Xu.

Faced with such a big risk, he must not just want some seeds.

What else did he want?

Li Banfeng walked out of the unknown place. In the fire, he always felt a chill on his back.

Could it be that Zhang Wanlong has already--

The peddler said: "He may have cracked the powder of the lock repair."

PS: I was shocked. Why did the peddler come out?
