Chapter 266: Pure Guard Society (Seeking monthly tickets)

*Blood Gun Detective* was released as scheduled, and Green Water City was empty.

Regardless of the story, visuals, material, and impact, this movie was unprecedented in Puluo Continent. The male lead Song Chunjie first unraveled layers of suspicion in the city, then transferred to the New Land to start a life-and-death battle.

In Li Banfeng's view, even if this movie were released in the Outer Provinces, as long as it could be released smoothly, the effect would inevitably be sensational, and it could even trigger a brand-new breakthrough in movie concepts.

At least in terms of species, this movie had already achieved a breakthrough.

The movie achieved huge success, and Li Banfeng's promise to Qiu Luoye should also be fulfilled.

During the filming of the movie, Qiu Luoye gave the film crew great help, and Li Banfeng promised to open up three new lands in Qiu Luoye's territory.

This was also a big breakthrough.

In Puluo Continent, land reclamation generally had two choices.

First is hard fighting, defeating all the strange monsters that come to test.

Second is attrition, not engaging in direct combat with strange monsters, and using all means to drag out the time.

Qiu Luoye didn't want to make things difficult for Li Banfeng in this land reclamation matter. He indicated that this matter just needed to go through the motions.

Li Banfeng had full confidence, but Qiu Luoye was afraid of accidents, so he specially went to discuss this matter with Shui Yongquan.

"What kind of methods do Li Qi and Ma Wu use? Are they hard fighting or attrition? I'll tell my subordinates not to make things difficult for them."

Shui Yongquan pondered for a long time. This question was really not easy to answer.

"Ma Wu counts as hard, Li Qi counts as attrition." After weighing for a long time, Shui Yongquan could only give such an answer.

Qiu Luoye prepared seriously. Since Li Qi was good at attrition, he shouldn't let strange monsters with too good insight go to test, and those with too strong combat power should also try not to go.

After the test ended, Qiu Luoye realized that all the previous preparations were superfluous. For three full days, Li Banfeng didn't show up at all.

This made Qiu Luoye extremely dissatisfied. No matter how good you are at hiding, you should at least come out and fight symbolically.

He went to ask Shui Yongquan: "Old Shui, is Li Qi such a shameless person?"

Shui Yongquan thought for a while and asked: "Who is the next person to reclaim land?"

"Ma Wu."

Shui Yongquan answered very affirmatively: "Li Qi is a person who wants face, very much wants face."

Ma Wu started land reclamation. On the first day, Qiu Luoye watched carefully.

On the second day, Qiu Luoye didn't want to watch anymore. He wanted to step Ma Wu to death.

On the third day, he gave up the idea of stepping Ma Wu to death. He didn't want to get close to that piece of land anymore.

He warned all female strange monsters in the territory not to get close to that piece of land, and this matter shouldn't be mentioned to anyone.

But Qiu Luoye didn't want to mention it, yet there were still many unpromising female monsters who sent themselves to Ma Wu.

Qiu Luoye couldn't bear it anymore and sent an elderly woman to Ma Wu's land.

Ma Wu was busy. He was holding a hedgehog in his arms, and there was a pangolin waiting behind him.

Looking at this old woman, her hair was gray and her figure was hunched. She should be over seventy years old.

"Old lady, are you also looking for me?" In order to reclaim land, Ma Wu could sacrifice a little, but the words had to be made clear.

"Bah!" The old woman spat and shouted: "All men in the world have things between their legs. I've never seen such a cheap seed who uses his thing to eat. An eight-foot man with iron bones can't support your nine-foot-thick face.

The female hedgehog underneath, you get out. A woman's face is really lost by you. The pangolin beside, get out. You've been drilling mountains for half your life, and now you're giving yourself away for someone to drill holes. Aren't you ashamed!"

This old lady really knows how to scold!

The pangolin and the hedgehog both recognized her and reminded him in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, don't look at her human form, she is actually a species of the New Land, named Scolding Woman.

She's not easy to provoke. Fifth Young Master, don't fight with her, just listen to her scolding. Her scolding is unpleasant, Fifth Young Master, don't take it to heart."

The pangolin and the hedgehog both ran away. The old woman scolded Ma Wu for a day and a night.

This old woman's scolding indeed had techniques, and it was very easy to make people angry.

But Ma Wu had a good mentality. He had been scolded since he was a child, and he had heard all kinds of unpleasant insults.

He was indeed angry at the beginning, but Ma Wu could restrain himself. The Scolding Woman had this characteristic: as long as the person being scolded could hold on through the first half, the second half wouldn't be a problem.

It was just that some people had too big a temper and couldn't hold on for three sentences. The more they listened, the angrier they got. In this situation, they would suffer a big loss.

Ma Wu successfully held on to the end, and other female monsters in the New Land didn't dare to come anymore. The land was reclaimed like this.

The third person to come for land reclamation was Xiao Genzi. Qiu Luoye let out a long breath. Finally, a decent person came.

Xiao Genzi didn't use those shady methods like Li Qi and Ma Wu. He always did things openly. Qiu Luoye promised again that as long as he came to reclaim land openly, the testing matter would just be going through the motions and he wouldn't make things difficult.

After setting the contract, Xiao Genzi prepared to reclaim land.

On the land, he took the meaning of 'six-six smooth', and piled up thirty-six gold mountains.

Qiu Luoye looked from afar and turned to look at a group of strange monsters: "Who of you will go through the motions?"

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak.

Qiu Luoye looked at the tree man: "You go, those are all good fertilizers."

The tree man pondered for a moment and said: "Too rich, I can't eat it."

All three new lands were reclaimed. Ma Wu called people to repair houses and build sets on the land, preparing for the next movie.

Li Banfeng told Ma Wu: "Don't just prepare one movie, prepare several movies together."

Ma Wu was surprised: "You mean to film the sequels of *Blood Gun Detective* all at once?

That probably won't work. The actors can't change. If the lead actor is changed, it won't be interesting."

"It's not asking you to prepare *Blood Gun Detective*, it's asking you to prepare new movies. We've eaten through this movie trade, it's time to plan for the next step."

Ma Wu finally came to his senses.

Recently, he had been pushed too hard by the movie matter, and he had forgotten about long-term plans.

They were going to eat from this bowl of rice, and they couldn't rely on *Blood Gun Detective* for a lifetime.

Ma Wu immediately returned to Green Water City, invited several familiar writers to Xiaoyao Wu, arranged good food, good drinks, and good girls, and then started discussing the script with them.

These writers were known for their fireworks, unlike the great literary giants of Puluo Continent. These writers' works were easier for the public to accept, but their works were also labeled as vulgar.

Ma Wu wasn't afraid of vulgarity. The more vulgar things were, the more story-like they were.

Several writers weren't pretentious. They brought out good works, let Ma Wu choose, and the price was also suitable.

Ma Wu was about to finalize the new script when he suddenly received some not-so-good news.

The matter could be big or small, but he still told Li Banfeng immediately.

"Seventh Brother, two cinemas in Black Stone Slope were smashed."

Cinemas being smashed, logically speaking, had nothing to do with them. The cinema wasn't opened by his family.

But when *Blood Gun Detective* was being shown, the cinema was smashed, so this matter had something to do with them.

If this matter wasn't managed, no one would dare to accept their movies in the future.

Li Banfeng asked: "Who did this dirty work?"

"It wasn't dirty work, it was smashed openly."

"Smashed openly, does Puluo Continent have no rules?"

Internal affairs look at flags, external affairs ask the Barrier Commissioner. Puluo Continent has order.

Ma Wu said: "The ones who took action were people from the Pure Guard Society. They are very special people. They released words saying that if any cinema dares to show *Blood Gun Detective*, they will severely punish them."

"Severely punish? What a big tone! What does the Pure Guard Society do?"

"Pure and have guard, that is Pure Guard. They are an organization founded by a group of highly respected people."

"Do they count as a sect?"

"They don't!" Ma Wu answered without hesitation, "The level of the Pure Guard Society is much higher than that of a sect, and their prestige is also much higher.

They say our movie is injurious to public morals and is a strange shame of Puluo Continent for nearly a hundred years.

This matter is very difficult to handle. I have to go to Black Stone Slope, find a way to say a word to them."

Li Banfeng's eye corner twitched: "Need to find a way to speak?"

Ma Wu sighed: "If you don't find a way, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see their faces. Actually, I should have been prepared long ago. These people from the Pure Guard Society will come to find trouble sooner or later."

Li Banfeng didn't know much about the Pure Guard Society. He cared more about another thing: "Is the Pure Guard Society unique to Black Stone Slope?"

Ma Wu shook his head: "That's not it. There are Pure Guard Societies in the front, middle, and back of Puluo Continent."

"Then why don't they make trouble in Green Water City? Green Water City is the first big city in Puluo Continent."

"They probably don't want to offend the Lu family. Maybe they don't know yet that the Lu family has already pulled out of our company." Speaking of this, Ma Wu rubbed his forehead:

"The matter happened in Black Stone Slope, so there is still room for relaxation. If it were in Green Water City, the trouble would be big.

We can't see the people of the Green Water City Pure Guard Society at all. Back then, Zhang Xiuling just became the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect and was regarded by the Pure Guard Society as not keeping a woman's virtue. The Hundred Flowers Sect was called a low-class sect by the Pure Guard Society.

Zhang Xiuling took more than a dozen subordinates and went door-to-door to apologize, running around for half a year before the matter calmed down. The Hundred Flowers Sect, which was once regarded as a first-class sect, has since fallen to second-class."

Li Banfeng frowned: "Whether it's first-class or not, the Pure Guard Society has the final say? Is their cultivation very high? Are they all very good at fighting?"

Ma Wu shook his head: "This isn't a matter of fighting, this is identity. There are quite a few elders in the Pure Guard Society who have no cultivation, but they are the clear stream of Puluo Continent and the model of morality and integrity in Puluo Continent.

The Hundred Flowers Sect cannot take action against the Pure Guard Society. Anyone who takes action against the Pure Guard Society will become the enemy of the entire Puluo Continent.

Lu Maoxian is one of the elders of the Pure Guard Society. Monkey Qiu and the two young masters of the Lu family have always been pointed at by him, but until now Monkey Qiu doesn't dare to move him, just because he is wary of the Pure Guard Society behind him."

Lu Maoxian.

Li Banfeng had an impression of this person.

"Back then, Monkey Qiu let us go to Black Stone Slope to do business, just to constrain Lu Maoxian, right?

As a result, I was ambushed by Ling Miaoying at the train station, and I didn't go to Black Stone Slope, so the business was delayed."

Ma Wu nodded: "Black Stone Slope is Lu Maoxian's territory. I suspect this matter might be related to Lu Maoxian. I'll go to Black Stone Slope first to ask for a way. If the way isn't clear, I'll return to Green Water City to beg Lu Maoxian for mercy.

Seventh Brother, *Blood Gun Detective* is afraid it can't be filmed anymore. The Black Stone Slope Pure Guard Society has made a move, and other places will follow. I can only do my best to let the third movie finish playing. Whether other movies can be filmed depends on the face of the Pure Guard Society."

Li Banfeng smelled it upon hearing this: "There's a smell."

Ma Wu was startled: "What smell?"

"This Pure Guard Society you mentioned, there's a smell."

"What smell?" Ma Wu still didn't understand.

"You go to visit him, he doesn't see you.

Even if he sees you, the matter might not be done.

Even if it's done, you have to look at his face in the future.

This smell, I've smelled it, the smell of a bitch!"

Ma Wu persuaded: "Seventh Brother, this isn't the time to say angry words. The Pure Guard Society has these rules. We filmed such a movie, it's only a matter of time before we are targeted. We've earned enough money, so it's good to stop here.

You don't need to do shameful things, I'll go."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "You can't do it alone, and this isn't just as simple as being shameful. If this matter isn't handled clearly, both our inside and outside will be lost.

Let's go together, call all the people we trust, and invite a few helpers to come over. Those who go with us must have bones and must not be bitches."

Ma Wu was shocked: "Seventh Brother, you don't understand the Pure Guard Society. We aren't going to fight a group battle, we have to find a way to open up the matter."

Li Banfeng smiled: "I think I should understand the Pure Guard Society. I just lost to a group of bitches, this time I can't lose again!"

On the train, Li Banfeng, Ma Wu, and more than thirty people went to Black Stone Slope.

Ma Wu chartered a carriage and spent a lot of money to give hush money to the Barrier Commissioner, train conductor, station master, train attendants, and station staff to ensure this trip was secret enough.

In the carriage, several writers sat together, discussing countermeasures.

A writer named Yuwen Qi said first: "There are quite a few newspapers in Black Stone Slope. I've published quite a few articles in newspapers before, but they were all small newspapers with no fame."

Another writer named Bai Qiusheng: "Black Stone Slope not only has many newspapers but also many magazines. I've also been a magazine writer, and I even brought two copies, but I'm a bit embarrassed to take them out..."

Li Banfeng was puzzled: "What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Bai Qiusheng hesitated for a moment and took out the magazine.

Everyone went up to watch together. It turned out that this magazine didn't use articles as a selling point, but photos.

Bai Qiusheng said: "Seventh Brother, look, the lighting of this photo is not bad."

Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, the lighting is not bad, they are all bare."

Why are there so many newspapers and magazines in Black Stone Slope?

Ma Wu said: "Black Stone Slope is special. The book and newspaper industry is more developed than Green Water City, the reason is..."

Before he finished speaking, the old woman saw the magazine and couldn't help scolding: "Shameless woman, sticking out her peach for people to take photos!"

A-Qin sneered: "Why? Are you jealous? The girl's peach looks good, who told her to have such a good youth!"

"Bah! You are also a shameless one, you also stick it out for everyone to see..."

The Scolding Woman and A-Qin were about to start a war, so Ma Wu hurriedly went up to persuade them.

In order to bring these two people out, Li Banfeng spent a lot of thought.

They were Qiu Luoye's subordinates. First, he had to obtain Qiu Luoye's consent. Qiu Luoye's mood was slightly bad because of the land reclamation matter, and it took a long time to agree.

And these two were strange monsters. Logically speaking, they absolutely couldn't leave the New Land, otherwise, it would be equivalent to provoking the Earth Deity of the Right Land.

This was thanks to Shui Yongquan, who found an expert to dress them up and hide all the strange monster aura on their bodies, making them look like ordinary people, so he could bring these two people out of the New Land.

For this, Li Banfeng even signed a contract with Shui Yongquan, promising to build a cinema in Zhengjing Village two months later.

The Scolding Woman and A-Qin quarreled more and more fiercely, and were about to tear at each other, but suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Genzi carried a spoon and a bucket, passing through the middle of the two.

The two covered their noses and sat back in their seats one after another.

Xiao Genzi came to Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, this train place is too strange. The toilet is directly connected to the railway. How does this let me cultivate!"

Li Banfeng nodded with approval: "Genzi, you put down the bucket first.

Brothers, sisters, when we arrive at Black Stone Slope, we must win the first battle."

PS: I looked at the mirror quietly and said with a confident smile: "Updated this chapter, let's see who dares to laugh at us for being short!"

The me in the mirror said more confidently: "They are laughing at you for being short, I have always been very long."
