Speaking of trains, Train Eunuch was very excited.

"My train was great. It could hold so many things, hold so many people. Wherever I went, the train would follow me."

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Isn't that nonsense? You said it yourself earlier, people follow the train. How can a train follow people?"

Train Eunuch shook his head: "My train is different. It has spirituality and can follow me."

"But a train needs tracks to walk. When it gets to a place without tracks, how does it follow you?"

"It lays tracks for itself. Tell me, isn't that amazing?"

Li Li Banfeng was even more surprised: "A train that can lay tracks for itself? Wherever it goes, it lays them?"

"Yes, wherever it goes, it lays them!" Train Eunuch became more excited as he spoke.

"Then there must be quite a few tracks on the train?"

"Doesn't need that many. A dozen or twenty are enough. My train can lay them and dismantle them. The used tracks are immediately dismantled and used interchangeably."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the working principle of this train.

Train Eunuch was still trying his best to explain: "My train has a special carriage responsible for laying tracks. That carriage is the smartest. It usually walks back and forth next to the other carriages, and the tracks have never been laid wrong."

Using "smart" to describe a carriage—this was the first time he'd heard that!

Li Li Banfeng couldn't figure out the structure of this train, but seeing Train Eunuch's obsessed look, it seemed as if such a train really existed.

Li Li Banfeng laughed and said: "Wherever you go, a train follows behind you. Wouldn't that scare others to death?"

Train Eunuch answered seriously: "Others can't see my train. My train is invisible. Sometimes even I can't see it."

Li Li Banfeng stopped laughing.

He remembered a memory.

When he first learned the technique of Insight into Spiritual Sounds, Li Li Banfeng had heard sounds on the wall, heard the sound of steam being sprayed.

Li Li Banfeng asked carefully: "Senior, if you can't see the train, how do you get on it usually?"

"I have a key!" Train Eunuch widened his eyes and said, "A train key, have you heard of it? It can open doors and can also drive the train!"

Li Li Banfeng exerted his self-control to the maximum, not letting himself show any abnormality.

The train that this Train Eunuch spoke of was very similar to a very important item of his.

He remembered a passage the Peddler said when he gave him the Personal Residence:

"This is a shelter built by a traveling cultivator master himself. Later, because his cultivation base became increasingly profound, that master didn't need this thing anymore, so he sold it to me."

Li Li Banfeng looked at this traveling cultivator senior before him and asked: "How did this train come about?"

"I made it myself!" Train Eunuch was very proud.

"Why make a train?"

"We traveling cultivators run around all day; we need a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"Since you are a traveling cultivator, how could you make a train?"

Train Eunuch snorted coldly: "Can I tell you about such things casually? Can you ask others about their cultivation base casually?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't dare offend this master and apologized quickly: "It was my lack of manners. Pretend I didn't ask."

Train Eunuch snorted again: "In normal times, I definitely wouldn't tell you, but now we are in a dream, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. When I wake up from the dream, I'll forget about this."

Li Li Banfeng praised him repeatedly: "Senior's words make sense!"

Train Eunuch said: "I am a traveling cultivator, and also a craft cultivator."

"Traveling cultivators can also cultivate craft cultivation?"

"Why not?" Mentioning traveling cultivation, Train Eunuch was also very proud, "Except for residential cultivation, traveling cultivation can be dual-cultivated with any sect!"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, they can all be dual-cultivated!"

Train Eunuch said again: "We traveling cultivators are the best sect in the world!"

Li Li Banfeng agreed loudly: "Yes, traveling cultivation is the best sect!"

Train Eunuch said again: "Residential cultivators are the worst; they are all bastards!"

Li Li Banfeng didn't say anything.

Train Eunuch looked back at Li Li Banfeng: "Do you think they are bastards?"

"Hmm." Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly.

Train Eunuch pulled the steam whistle twice and continued to fly forward.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Such a good train, why sell it to others?"

Huff~ huff~

Train Eunuch's footsteps slowed down: "Because I wanted to buy something better."

"Did you buy it?"

"I did, but I still miss that train.

There are countless good things in this world, but there is only one thing that is so much fun."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Then why don't you make another train?"

Huff~ huff~

Train Eunuch's speed became even slower.

"A train can be made, but the materials are hard to find. I have to go to the Inner Continent to find them.

I found over ninety percent of the materials in the Inner Continent, but I was ambushed by that group of bird-people in the Inner Continent, and I slept until now."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "You slept in the Inner Continent?"

"Yes! Why do you ask? Are you trying to harm me?" Train Eunuch suddenly became alert.

"Not at all," Li Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly, "I have no grudges against you, and I have no reason to harm you."

Train Eunuch erupted with some killing intent: "Why should I believe you?"

Did he even need to ask?

"I am in the Puluo Continent, and you are sleeping in the Inner Continent. We are separated by a hundred thousand li. I can't even touch you, so how can I harm you?"

This answer was completely flawless.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Train Eunuch's suspicion of Li Li Banfeng deepened.

"Who told you that you are in the Puluo Continent?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I have always been in the Puluo Continent! Isn't the station where we met Black Stone Slope?"

Huff~ huff~

Train Eunuch's speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

His speaking speed also became very slow: "This is not the Puluo Continent; this is the Inner Continent."

Uh...

Is this old man going crazy again?

Huff~ huff~

Train Eunuch continued: "The place where we met is not Black Stone Slope either. That is the border between the Inner Continent and the Puluo Continent."

I came to the Inner Continent?

Li Li Banfeng's expression was dazed for a moment.

"Senior, did you remember wrong?"

"I wouldn't be wrong. Black Stone Slope was once my territory. The people there have wild temperaments and don't submit to discipline, which is a bit like me."

Li Li Banfeng said: "I'm not talking about Black Stone Slope; I'm talking about the Inner Continent and the Puluo Continent..."

Chii~~~

With a long whistle, Train Eunuch braked.

"Zhao Zhao Dajun station has arrived. Passengers who have arrived, please pack your luggage and get off at this station."

Train Eunuch's tone was quite like a train conductor's.

Li Li Banfeng got off Train Eunuch's back and looked around.

Zhao Zhao Dajun, that code farmer.

Why is this called Zhao Zhao Dajun station? Is it because this is his dream?

Train Eunuch looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "If you get off here, the fare is one hundred and fifty yuan. If you don't get off, we will continue walking."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Train Eunuch, feeling somewhat hesitant.

From this senior, he could still obtain a lot of important information.

But if he kept running like this, it was hard to say where he would end up. This Train Eunuch's mental state was not normal. For a mentally ill person, one must be on guard.

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "Can I walk around in this place?"

Train Eunuch was stunned: "You mean you want me to wait a while longer?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded.

"It's not impossible!" Train Eunuch was very straightforward, "Half an hour, three hundred."

Li Li Banfeng gave three hundred Da Huan currency notes and asked again: "Senior, can you accompany me to walk around?"

"You mean you want me to be your tour guide?"

"Hmm."

Train Eunuch thought about it: "Half an hour, three hundred."

Li Li Banfeng gave another three hundred.

He didn't know if he had really given the money, and he didn't know what state he was in now.

But Train Eunuch was very satisfied and took Li Li Banfeng toward the depths of the wilderness.

There was no road ahead, but it didn't affect the footsteps of the two traveling cultivators.

At first, the surroundings were filled with sturdy wild grass as tall as a person. After walking for dozens of li, the wild grass became shorter and shorter, turning into a gravel road without grass.

The gravel road became smoother and smoother. After walking for another dozen li, it turned into a stone slab road.

The stone slab road led to a lake. Li Li Banfeng saw Zhao Zhao Dajun by the lake.

Zhao Zhao Dajun was holding a small branch, calculating very intently by the lake.

Li Li Banfeng was very curious about what he was calculating. When he walked over to look, he saw that he had drawn a matrix on the left and integral equations on the right.

He seemed to have been calculating for a long time.

Li Li Banfeng was just about to go elsewhere to look when he suddenly saw Zhao Zhao Dajun stand up, look at Li Li Banfeng and say: "Friend, you've come!"

Can he see me?

Train Eunuch shrugged his eyebrows: "This is his dream; of course he can see you."

But Zhao Zhao Dajun didn't seem to be able to see Train Eunuch. He said excitedly to Li Li Banfeng: "I've calculated it!"

"What have you calculated?"

Zhao Zhao Dajun excitedly took a ruler, measured a circle around the lake, selected a location, made a mark, moved a chair to sit down, and then started fishing.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Spent so much effort, calculated for so long, just to find a place to fish?"

Zhao Zhao Dajun nodded and said: "I've calculated it. I performed a deep analysis on over five hundred sets of historical data, and the conclusion is that this is the fastest location to catch fish!"

While speaking, Zhao Zhao Dajun caught a suckerfish.

He pursed his lips and said: "It's just that the quality of this fish is a bit poor."

Li Li Banfeng couldn't understand Zhao Zhao Dajun's thinking. Train Eunuch snorted coldly: "Calculation cultivators are just like this!"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Zhao Dajun and said: "Brother, do you have no other hobbies?"

"I do!" Zhao Zhao Dajun looked at Li Li Banfeng very seriously; he was very disgusted by Li Li Banfeng's questioning of him.

He took Li Li Banfeng to a three-story villa.

In the first-floor garden, Teacher Anxi and Teacher Sanshang were tending to the flowers and plants. Seeing Zhao Zhao Dajun return, they bowed respectfully one after another.

Entering the hall, dozens of teachers asked in unison: "Master, you're back!"

Zhao Zhao Dajun nodded symbolically in response. After patrolling a circle, he finally chose Teacher Teacher Lisha.

He slapped Teacher Teacher Lisha's peach hard, and the sound was very crisp.

Teacher Teacher Lisha turned her head, looking at Zhao Zhao Dajun with a hint of reproach, as if she had been hit hard, and as if it hadn't been enough.

Zhao Zhao Dajun leaked a sinister smile.

Teacher Teacher Lisha was a little afraid, and a little expectant.

Next, Zhao Zhao Dajun took a pen, listed a matrix on the peach on Teacher Teacher Lisha's left, drew a quadrant on the right, and after a careful calculation, he found the best ratio and made some adjustments to Teacher Teacher Lisha's peach.

After the adjustment, he began to appreciate it quietly.

Li Li Banfeng took a deep breath and said: "This even needs to be calculated..."

Train Eunuch despised him from the side: "See that? Calculation cultivators are just this useless!"

Li Li Banfeng expressed agreement: "Really useless!"

Train Eunuch said: "Except for residential cultivators, they are the most useless. Don't you think so?"

"Hmm." Li Li Banfeng replied in a low voice.

Train Eunuch looked at Zhao Zhao Dajun, his tone solemn: "He can't get out anymore. Do you still want to get out?"

PS: That carriage responsible for laying tracks is so special.
