Chapter 193

"Husband, have another bite!"

Li Li Banfeng opened his mouth with difficulty.

The record needle inserted a piece of beef and fed it into Li Li Banfeng's mouth.

Lying in the Leaving Suishenju for two days, Li Li Banfeng could barely walk on the ground.

This was the advantage of residential cultivation; as long as they returned to their own residence, the recovery ability of residential cultivators was far superior to other sects.

The record player's condition was even better than Li Li Banfeng's; after two days, she had almost recovered as before.

"Husband, don't move, Xiao Nu will wipe your body."

"Husband, endure the pain, Xiao Nu will wash your wounds."

"Husband, don't be anxious, Xiao Nu will go and wash the little husband in a while, serving you warmly, wiping you hard."

"Husband, have another bite, just one bite, Xiao Nu will sing a song for you."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I don't want to listen to songs, I want to apply machine oil."

"Husband, your body hasn't recovered yet, what are you using to apply machine oil?"

"Oil brush."

"What's the point of an oil brush? When husband's body is better, you can use whatever you want, Xiao Nu will follow you in everything. Quick, have another bite."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the copper lotus on the ground and frowned: "I want to send her to the Fifth Room."

"What are you sending her to the Fifth Room for?"

"Watching her makes me feel uncomfortable."

Clang, clang, clang~

The record player played drums and laughed: "Why does husband have to haggle with her? I think it's quite good for her to be here. Let this cheap woman watch here. Husband, come, have another bite."

The copper lotus really wanted to spit on them.

But thinking of the record player's state, she still endured it.

The record player's state was excellent. Since entering the Leaving Suishenju, she had been in a better state than at any time before!

After resting for another half day, Li Li Banfeng wanted to go out.

The record player wasn't happy: "Husband, your wounds haven't healed yet, what are you going out for?"

"I want to go out and get some air."

The record player acted coquettishly: "Husband is really something. A proper residential cultivator can stay at home for a year or half a year, and you can't stay for even two days?"

Li Li Banfeng scratched the machine case: "I'm an improper residential cultivator. If I stay with my wife every day, I can't be proper either!"

His wife laughed until she trembled, and Li Li Banfeng took the opportunity to slip out of the room.

Looking at Li Li Banfeng's back, Did Honglian spat.

Whoosh~

A cloud of steam attacked, burning the copper lotus until she was red.

Did Honglian looked at the record player and said angrily: "Wicked woman, don't return kindness with ingratitude!"

The record player smiled: "Cheap woman, we've added quite a few grudges between us. Husband is gone, let's have a good chat."

Li Li Banfeng took a deep breath in the wilderness.

He was a traveling cultivator and had enough light to accumulate, but the nature of a traveler couldn't be changed.

Of course, there were more important things.

He had lost two magic treasures in the canyon, the Judge's Brush and the calendar.

The probability of finding them back wasn't high, but he had to go over and take a look. These two magic treasures had made great contributions in the battle against Qiu Qiu Luoye. As long as they hadn't been picked up by others, relying on the Thread-Pulling Earring, there was always hope of finding them back.

Before that, he had to go to the territory first.

There was another matter that was more important than the magic treasures.

Ma Wu was still looking for Li Li Banfeng; he was almost driven crazy.

From the canyon to the territory, this stretch of road, he looked for it seven or eight times a day. Shui Shui Yongquan told Ma Wu many times that Li Li Banfeng wasn't here, but Ma Wu just wouldn't believe it.

That night, Shui Shui Yongquan came to Ma Wu's residence and discussed the matter of the ten-mile territory with Ma Wu.

"Initially, I signed a contract with Li Qi. If the battle was won, I would give you ten miles of territory. Now Li Qi doesn't know where he is, so you should collect this territory for him first."

Ma Wu shook his head: "This matter isn't urgent; let's wait until Old Seven comes back."

"You're not urgent, but I am. The matters stipulated in the contract are the biggest matters for me. You should hurry up and choose the land."

"I can't make the decision on this matter; I have to wait until Old Seven comes back."

"Brother Ma Wu, I'll remind you. When I signed the contract with Li Qi, I said it clearly. If he doesn't choose the land within two days, I can choose it for him. I came to ask you, which is giving you enough face."

Ma Wu was impatient: "Asking me is useless. Old Seven's land must be decided by Old Seven himself. Xiao Chuanzi, see the guest out!"

Shui Shui Yongquan smiled, and his figure disappeared.

Ma Wu sat in the wooden house, drinking depressed wine.

He didn't care about the territory; he just wanted to find Li Qi back.

After finishing a glass of wine, Li Li Banfeng poured him another one.

Ma Wu took a sip, put down the wine glass, and stared at Li Li Banfeng for a long time.

Li Li Banfeng was still wearing a black suit and a top hat. The brim of his hat wasn't low, because his face was covered in bandages.

Ma Wu's tears came down: "Where the hell did you go? I looked for you everywhere!"

Li Li Banfeng pointed to the bandages: "I went to heal my wounds."

"Didn't I bring you back to heal your wounds? Why did you run away!"

Li Li Banfeng smiled: "It wasn't that I ran away, but a high-level expert saved me halfway. If it weren't for his superb medical skills, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"Which high-level expert?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "That high-level expert didn't want to reveal his name, and I can't mention it casually."

Since Li Qi said so, Ma Wu wouldn't ask again. This was the tacit understanding between the two.

After drinking a glass of wine, Ma Wu's mood calmed down slightly, and Li Li Banfeng said: "I lost two magic treasures in the canyon. Call a few brothers to go and find them with me."

"No need to find them," Ma Wu took out the Judge's Brush and the calendar, "Shui Shui Yongquan found them back for you. He also moved the Water-Falling Gate over. I'll have someone send it to your territory in a while."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Although his temperament is treacherous, Shui Shui Yongquan is also a person who keeps his word."

Ma Wu agreed with this point: "He just came to find me to discuss the ten-mile territory, and I said let's wait until you come back."

Once Ma Wu mentioned it, Li Li Banfeng remembered this matter: "Don't say that! Why didn't you choose?"

Ma Wu shrugged: "It's your land; it's not appropriate for me to choose."

"Why are you haggling over this? Isn't this delaying things? I agreed with him to choose the land within two days. If I don't choose, he'll choose for me."

Li Li Banfeng hurriedly asked Xiao Chuanzi to prepare an offering table. After setting up incense and offerings, Shui Shui Yongquan's figure appeared again.

"Brother Li Qi, you're back."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I'm back. I came back specifically to choose the land."

Shui Shui Yongquan smiled: "No need to choose; I've already chosen for you."

Li Li Banfeng glared at Ma Wu, took a deep breath, and gave two dry laughs: "You didn't choose a swamp for me, did you?"

Shui Shui Yongquan frowned: "Am I that kind of person? I chose an excellent piece of land for you. Follow me."

Li Li Banfeng turned to Ma Wu: "This piece of land has a share for you, come with me."

Ma Wu shook his head repeatedly: "This isn't appropriate."

"Stop talking nonsense, come quickly."

The two followed Shui Shui Yongquan all the way to the canyon. Li Li Banfeng said: "You didn't give me this ten-mile canyon, did you? This doesn't count as ten miles in radius."

"Don't be anxious, it's still early."

Crossing the canyon, Li Li Banfeng said: "This is already Qiu Qiu Luoye's territory."

Shui Shui Yongquan smiled: "It used to be Qiu Qiu Luoye's territory, but now it belongs to me."

Out of the canyon, walking forward for twenty miles, Shui Shui Yongquan stopped and said to Li Li Banfeng: "Standing here, ten miles to the east, ten miles to the south, all will be your territory in the future."

Li Li Banfeng walked a circle; this territory was truly good.

There was flat land, a forest, a not-too-high hill, and a lake three miles in radius.

"The lake water can't be drunk; it's poisonous, but the fish and shrimp in the lake can all be eaten," Shui Shui Yongquan looked at Li Li Banfeng, "Brother Li Qi, I chose a good place for you, right?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "It's not bad, but is all this your territory?"

Shui Shui Yongquan curled his lips: "Of course it's my territory. Could I lie to you about this? You look at the fish in this lake; one net down, you can catch more than ten jin. You can eat as much as you want."

Ma Wu thought for a while and asked: "I remember you said before that you let Qiu Qiu Luoye compensate you with thirty miles of territory. Is this the land you're talking about?"

"It's here," Shui Shui Yongquan pointed to the lake water and continued, "Not only are there fish here, but there are also shrimp. This shrimp is truly fresh. I've eaten it a few times, and thinking of that taste, it's really good."

Ma Wu asked again: "Where is the border between you and Qiu Qiu Luoye?"

"Right over there. I tell you, not only is the shrimp delicious, but there are also crabs here. This lake water is salty, and the lake crab tastes fresher than sea crab!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Master Shui, you didn't put our land on the border between your two families, did you?"

This topic couldn't be bypassed.

Walking twenty miles from the canyon, they finally reached Li Li Banfeng's ten-mile territory.

Walking another ten miles would be thirty miles, and wouldn't that reach the border between Shui Shui Yongquan and Qiu Qiu Luoye!

Shui Shui Yongquan had to say clearly: "It's on the border between the two families, but this is all my territory. I did this without violating the contract."

Li Li Banfeng said: "The land is on the border; don't we become gatekeepers for you? If you and Qiu Qiu Luoye fight again, won't we be the first to start the war?"

Shui Shui Yongquan pressed his palm down: "Brother Li Qi, don't be anxious, don't get angry. Qiu Elephant and I have already discussed that we won't fight anymore."

Li Li Banfeng said: "You don't fight anymore, why do you still want us to guard the gate?"

Shui Shui Yongquan looked at the calm lake surface: "The place is my place, and it's also a good place. I didn't violate the contract, nor did I violate our friendship. Brother Li Qi, you shouldn't be picky about this matter anymore."

What he said made sense.

Li Li Banfeng walked along the lake for a while and realized the problem: "You're afraid that someone else will come to open wasteland on the border between the two families, right?"

Shui Shui Yongquan didn't make a sound.

Ma Wu understood Li Qi's meaning: "You and Master Qiu have discussed that there will be no more conflicts between you,

but you are familiar with Master Qiu's temper. You are only afraid that if someone provokes on the border line, Master Qiu will come to stir up trouble again, so you deliberately chose Old Seven's land on the border."

Li Li Banfeng sneered: "In the end, it's still making us guard the gate."

Shui Shui Yongquan didn't argue anymore. He looked at Li Li Banfeng: "Looking at it this way, you don't want this piece of land?"

Don't want it?

Could Shui Shui Yongquan change it for a new one?

Of course not.

If Li Li Banfeng said he didn't want it, it would mean he was giving up this piece of land.

"I'll reluctantly take this land, but if you make us guard the gate, shouldn't you give some reward?"

Shui Shui Yongquan pinched his chin; he knew Li Li Banfeng wasn't easy to deal with: "Tell me, what reward?"

"Can a piece of land have two masters?"

Shui Shui Yongquan looked at Ma Wu; he understood Li Qi's meaning.

Having one more master for a piece of land wasn't just a matter of name; it meant that whether Li Li Banfeng sprinkled blood or Ma Wu sprinkled blood, the local deity had to come forward to protect them.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Actually, you don't suffer a loss either. We help you guard the gate, and you help us settle things; it's only natural."

"Natural," Shui Shui Yongquan snorted coldly, "If there were a hundred masters for this piece of land, wouldn't I have to be on call whenever a hundred people called out? What do you take me for?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "There aren't a hundred people, just the two of us."

"Fine, draw up a contract, sprinkle blood!" Shui Shui Yongquan agreed.

No matter what he did, it only counted if a contract was drawn up with Shui Shui Yongquan.

The three of them drew up a contract, Li Li Banfeng and Ma Wu sprinkled blood, and the matter of the land was settled.

Ma Wu always felt that he had taken advantage of Li Li Banfeng and felt very guilty in his heart.

Li Li Banfeng didn't feel that Ma Wu had taken advantage of him.

Without Ma Wu's help before, Li Li Banfeng wouldn't have lasted until the end in the canyon.

Without Ma Wu's management in the future, this piece of land wouldn't be able to play its role in Li Li Banfeng's hands.

This was truly a good piece of land. The lush forest guaranteed timber, the wide flat land provided space, and a salt lake provided ingredients.

This was an excellent foundation. Ma Wu could recruit hunters to hunt nearby, collect them directly, and then transport them out in a centralized way.

Some special prey could be raised on this piece of land.

If he hired residential cultivators, he could also plant many good things on this piece of land.

Ma Wu left marks in various places, preparing to do a big job.

"Old Seven, in the future, the income from this land will be divided three-seven, you seven and me three."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Fifty-fifty! Stop talking nonsense!"

With three parts of profit, exert three parts of strength.

With five parts of profit, exert ten parts of strength.

Here, there was not only friendship but also human nature.

Saying it and doing it, Ma Wu's execution ability was very strong. In three days, he built the first batch of wooden houses.

The largest wooden house was used as a council hall, where he could entertain guests and discuss important matters.

Ma Wu knew that Li Li Banfeng loved listening to songs, so he specifically bought a new record player from Ling Ling Miaosheng's record player shop.

This was also a windmill record player, almost the same as the one in Blue Yang Village.

Li Li Banfeng took a record to test the tone quality. The quality of the record player was unquestionable, but in Li Li Banfeng's ears, it was always far worse than his wife's.

Ma Wu mentioned the Water-Falling Gate: "That spiritual object is still with me. Should I move it to this piece of land, or move it to your original territory?"

"You keep it, I'll give it to you."

Ma Wu waved his hand repeatedly: "No, I can't take advantage of you again!"

"I told you, stop haggling, just keep it."

The Water-Falling Gate was a good thing, but for Li Li Banfeng, this thing was too bulky and couldn't be brought into the Leaving Suishenju; it wasn't suitable for residential cultivators or traveling cultivators.

It was quite suitable for Ma Wu; he had three Madam Suoes, all of whom were good helpers for propping up the gate.

The two were listening to music and chatting when Xiao Chuanzi walked into the hall: "Someone is coming to open wasteland."

Li Li Banfeng put down his wine glass: "Opening wasteland on our territory?"

"Not our territory, but it's very close."

Ma Wu frowned: "Is someone really coming to stir up trouble? Old Seven, you rest first, I'll go over and take a look."

Li Li Banfeng and Ma Wu were both good at scouting, but the two had different methods.

Li Li Banfeng was used to using the talents of residential cultivators, approaching the other side unknowingly and observing in the dark.

Ma Wu was used to talking to the other side directly, testing them on the surface with experience and knowledge.

Walking along the lake and out of the forest, Ma Wu saw two people setting up an offering table.

The other side wasn't setting up the offering table on the border line; the position of the offering table was on Qiu Qiu Luoye's territory.

This avoided quite a few disputes.

Ma Wu breathed a sigh of relief and walked directly to the side of the offering table.

Only a bottle of wine was placed on the table; this was to open one mile of land.

Smelling the fragrance of the old wine and looking at the position of the offering table, this kind of arrangement was most likely to attract the attention of the local deity.

Ma Wu exclaimed: "An expert indeed."

One person raised his head and smiled: "We are also here for the first time. We've asked an expert for advice twice before, but we don't know if this method works or not."

Another person lowered his head and didn't make a sound from beginning to end.

Ma Wu glanced at that person. The other side was wearing a gray short jacket and a felt hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but this figure seemed to have been seen somewhere.

He smelled it again, and that person had a unique fragrance on him.

The smell of powder.

The other side had washed many times, but the residual smell was still smelled by Ma Wu.

This smell had a great attraction for Joyful Cultivators.

After chatting casually for a few sentences, Ma Wu returned to the wooden house.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Did you find out their origin?"

Ma Wu shook his head: "Didn't find out their origin, they are opening wasteland on Qiu Qiu Luoye's territory, but they are indeed very close to us."

"Being close doesn't matter, as long as they aren't on the border line."

Ma Wu shook his head slightly: "But I seem to have seen an old acquaintance."

"Which old acquaintance?"

"Speaking of this old acquaintance, you know her too."

Li Li Banfeng was very curious about what kind of old acquaintance both he and Ma Wu knew.

He took a sip of wine and waited for Ma Wu to say the name of this person.

Ma Wu raised his head and looked at Li Li Banfeng: "That person seems to be Lu Lu Xiaolan!"

Gulp!

Li Li Banfeng swallowed the wine and coughed several times.

PS: Lu Lu Xiaolan dares to come and find Li Li Banfeng?

Does she not want to live anymore?
