~14 min read 2,680 words

In the morning, Li Banfeng took the movie projector and prepared to go out.

The movie projector stayed by the bed and said decadently: "Director Seven, choose someone else; the art in my heart has already withered."

In the battle against the Mountain Puller, the movie projector made the greatest contribution among the magic treasures.

Relying on the movie projector, Li Banfeng changed the layout of the cave, causing a group of strange monsters to mistakenly enter the Leaving Suishenju, exchanging it for a gluttonous feast for the whole family.

But the movie projector missed this gluttonous feast.

Li Banfeng had forgotten him.

The movie projector had been guarding the cave the whole time and didn't get to eat a single piece of meat.

By the time he returned to the Leaving Suishenju, Red Lotus had already cleaned everything up, and not a single drop of blood remained.

Since then, the movie projector's mood had become very negative.

After Li Banfeng left, the movie projector remained by the bed, silently dazed.

The glove walked over and comforted him: "Little brother, don't always be like this; I feel bad for you just looking at you. Let's find a place to talk."

The movie projector's tone was flat: "My art has already turned to ashes; I have nothing to talk about with you."

"Look at you, where is there any man's breadth of mind? Come with me; speaking things out will make your heart feel brighter."

The glove persuaded him with all sorts of arguments and finally persuaded the movie projector to the third room.

Closing the door, the glove lowered his voice and said: "Brother, don't say your big brother doesn't take care of you."

After speaking, the glove spat out a piece of flesh and blood: "This is the Earth God, the Mountain Puller's flesh and blood; take a bite and see the quality and taste."

The movie projector trembled, and a layer of water mist covered his lens: "Brother Glove, how should I thank..."

"Don't say those things, eat quickly!" The glove was very generous.

The movie projector summoned a woman and put the flesh and blood into the film compartment.

So many days had passed, and this piece of flesh was still fresh; he didn't know what method the glove had used to preserve it.

The Earth God's flesh and blood really had a different quality; the movie projector only had less than half of his mainspring left, but now he felt full of strength, and his cultivation was also advancing rapidly.

"Brother Glove, thank you very much."

"Saying that is being a stranger," the glove shook his finger, "We usually work ourselves to the bone, and life isn't easy. Sometimes the Master can't take care of us, so we have to take care of each other."

"Brother Glove, this piece of meat is so precious, how should I repay you?"

"Repayment is not the point; I have a few heartfelt words I want to say to you.

We live under the same roof and all work for the Master. I'm not a greedy person; what should be given to the Master, I give. Occasionally keeping a little for myself is also human nature.

Sometimes when I hide something, don't always record it on the side, making the Master feel annoyed when he sees it. I also find it hard to explain to the Master; this kind of thing shouldn't let the Master know."

Li Banfeng found Qin Xiaopang at the Dongping Teahouse and asked about the Ling Family Film Company.

Qin Xiaopang said: "The Ling Family Film Company hasn't closed down; our Silver Seal had people check this matter. Besides 'Blood Blade Detective', they have two other movies, both of which are being filmed, and everyone is very busy."

"Seeing Ling Miaoying is dead, who is in charge of the Ling Family Film Company?"

"There are two pieces of news I know, but it's hard to say which one is true.

One is that Seeing Ling Miaoying is still alive, having faked his death before, and performed a double act with Lu Chunying."

This news was obviously released by Lu Maoxian, which both proved the reasonableness of his dealing with 'Blood Blade Detective' and smeared Lu Chunying's face.

"The second is that there is a big shot behind the Ling family, possibly Movie Queen Tu Yinghong."

"'Tu Yinghong'..." Hearing this name, Li Banfeng remembered the experience of being ambushed that day.

At that time, he first knocked down Seeing Ling Miaoying with 'Walking Horse Watching Flowers', and then shot and wounded Tu Yinghong with a gun. Without the Leaving Suishenju, he relied entirely on himself to seize the initiative and snatch back his life.

Could the man in black who went to Xiaoyao Wu still be Tu Yinghong?

"Do you know Tu Yinghong's background?"

Qin Xiaopang said: "Our Silver Seal is still checking. It was said before that Tu Yinghong originally worked as a prostitute in Green Water City, and later, after serving Seeing Ling Miaoying comfortably, she became a movie queen.

Now it's been clarified that this kind of talk is pure nonsense. Tu Yinghong was never from Green Water City; she came from Black Stone Slope and is a Craft Cultivator. Who served whom between her and Seeing Ling Miaoying hasn't been clarified yet."

"Brother, this matter must be clarified as soon as possible."

"Brother Seven, as soon as there is news, I will..." Speaking of this, Little Fatty felt short of breath; he was hungry again.

Li Banfeng looked at Little Fatty's figure, which was almost comparable to Qiu Zhiheng's.

"Didn't I tell you, if you don't have money, come to me; don't be reluctant to eat. The matter I asked you to inquire about qualifications last time, what did your Silver Seal say?"

"Brother Seven, our Silver Seal is really a down-to-earth person; he said I am an empty-code copper seal, and it is reasonable to transfer to an official copper seal, but he needs money to help me handle things, and the amount is not small, so I was too embarrassed to tell you."

Li Banfeng put down his teacup and said: "Aren't you delaying things? How much money exactly?"

Little Fatty stretched out a finger: "One thousand ocean dollars."

"I'll pay it; go to Xiaoyao Wu in the afternoon to withdraw the money, withdraw fifteen hundred, and choose a good territory."

Qin Xiaopang was extremely grateful, and Li Banfeng returned to Xiaoyao Wu.

Qiu Zhiheng once said that the person who came to ambush was a high-level Craft Cultivator with an invisibility item.

The Three Heroes Sect checked Tu Yinghong's background, and she was indeed a Craft Cultivator.

Along the way, Li Banfeng was basically able to conclude that the man in black that day was Tu Yinghong.

Was she here to avenge Seeing Ling Miaoying?

Can't wait for her to come to the door; must find a way to lure her out.

Li Banfeng entered the Leaving Suishenju and used the movie projector to project Seeing Ling Miaoying's image.

Whoosh!

The phonograph asked: "Husband, this person has already turned into a pill, why bring him out again?"

"As bait; his lover has come to me for revenge, and I want to lure her out."

"This movie is made just like a real person, it's indeed hard to distinguish, but since she is the original owner's lover, she must be very familiar with this movie projector, right?"

Li Banfeng looked at the movie projector.

The movie projector's mood improved, and he answered solemnly: "I do have some understanding of Ms. Tu Yinghong; I have filmed her up, down, front, back, attacking, and defending. It's a pity that I didn't carry those film strips with me."

Li Banfeng was also worried about this; Tu Yinghong was very familiar with the movie projector and would likely not be fooled.

Regarding this situation, the phonograph had a strategy: "Hey husband, using bait doesn't necessarily mean fishing for fish; it can also be used to fish for shrimp."

Li Banfeng understood his wife's meaning; Seeing Ling Miaoying's image could also lure others, but now the one to deal with was Tu Yinghong.

"Wife, I don't want to fish for shrimp, I only want to fish for fish."

"Shrimp eat the fish bait and will tell the taste to the fish; the fish bait might not fool the enemy's main general, but it might not fail to fool the enemy's spy."

Li Banfeng smiled, hugged the phonograph, and acted affectionately: "My wife really knows how to fight!"

Lu Maoxian walked out of the Mingzhu Book Apartment, and the teacher of the apartment praised repeatedly: "The old master has great knowledge; the disciple has been taught this time."

Translated, it means Lu Maoxian showed off new unique skills last night.

Lu Maoxian nodded and smiled: "You are also a person who loves to learn, reading by candlelight all night long, and I didn't see you complaining about bitterness or fatigue."

The teacher of the apartment said shyly: "I did call out, but the disciple didn't feel it was bitter."

Lu Maoxian touched the teacher's cheek: "You are good in every way, but reading by candlelight requires good candles; the candles here are of a lower quality."

The teacher of the apartment hurriedly wrote down the matter of the candles; Lu Maoxian was the most important regular customer of the Mingzhu Book Apartment, and every request he made could not be neglected.

Outside the apartment door, thirty-three servants were waiting.

Is it appropriate for Lu Maoxian to bring so many people to do this?

In the past, Lu Maoxian would bring at most two servants, and he didn't want to make such a big commotion.

But ever since he fought Seeing Ling Miaoying, Lu Maoxian had seen through things.

At the theater, Seeing Ling Miaoying showed that movie, which ruined Lu Maoxian's reputation, but so what? The Lu family still said the old master was old but vigorous.

The hand that was cut off by Seeing Ling Miaoying still hasn't been handled well; this is what really makes him uncomfortable.

At present, the movie matter hasn't subsided, so increasing precautions is the priority.

Lu Maoxian sat in a foreign-style carriage, with servants taking care of him from front, back, left, and right.

The night was deep, and there were no other pedestrians on the street. One street away from the mansion, a servant suddenly clutched his neck and fell to the ground, blood flowing out between his fingers.

Another servant stepped forward to check, and as soon as he squatted down, his head fell to the ground.

Lu Maoxian felt that the situation was not good and shouted: "The gentleman is open and honest!"

The technique of 'Same Text, Common Rules'; he wanted the opponent to show themselves and fight him openly.

But the technique seemed ineffective, and the servants around Lu Maoxian fell to the ground one after another; in the blink of an eye, only two of the thirty-three remained.

These two people stood on the left and right of the carriage, seemingly protecting Lu Maoxian, but actually protecting their own lives.

If you don't move, you won't die; as long as you move, you will surely die. The two brothers understood this very clearly.

Lu Maoxian took out a brush and wrote the character "Forbidden" on the carriage!

A barrier formed around the carriage.

Lu Maoxian was pondering his next countermeasure when he suddenly heard someone say in his ear: "Nothing is forbidden."

Bang!

The barrier shattered!

Did the opponent use 'One Word Becomes Truth'?

Is the opponent a Literary Cultivator?

Regardless of what Daoist sect the opponent is from, there are not many opportunities to escape now.

Lu Maoxian waved his brush, flicking the ink from the tip, and countless characters transformed within a radius of ten meters around him; the characters bared their fangs and brandished their claws, like pitch-black evil spirits, fighting anyone they encountered.

Literary Cultivation technique, 'Counting Ink and Seeking Lines'.

Literary Cultivators are not good at close-quarters combat; once they are approached, the 'Counting Ink and Seeking Lines' technique is the best escape technique.

Within the range of the technique, the characters composed of ink marks will possess spirituality and fight with people.

These characters can express meaning and form, with extraordinary combat power; the only drawback is that they don't distinguish between friend and foe.

A "Big" character stretched its arms and grabbed a servant, tearing at him constantly.

An "Elephant" character transformed into a long-tusked elephant, knocking over another servant.

An "Insect" character transformed into three "Insect" characters, and each "Insect" character transformed into a large swarm of flies and insects flying everywhere.

These characters even attacked Lu Maoxian, but Lu Maoxian could find a way out between the lines of the characters.

He quickly rushed out of the range of the technique and ran wildly toward the mansion.

This run was extremely fast, much faster than usual.

The 'Counting Ink and Seeking Lines' technique only lasted for a few seconds, then dissipated, but Lu Maoxian had already run to the gate of the mansion.

Why did he run so fast?

It seemed he had fewer burdens than usual.

Lu Maoxian looked down and found that he had indeed lost something.

Blood soaked through his pants, and Lu Maoxian fell at the gate; only then did he feel deep despair and pain.

'Old but vigorous' no longer existed.

He Jiaqing disguised himself as a middle-aged man, walked to Lu Maoxian's side, and said with a smile: "Old Master Lu, congratulations; from now on, you have lost that root of trouble."

Lu Maoxian didn't dare to resist, clutched his vital parts, and gritted his teeth in silence.

He Jiaqing didn't kill him, got up and left alone; walking to the street corner, he suddenly saw a beggar dozing off.

He Jiaqing's heart tightened, and he carefully sensed his location.

Is this Green Water City, or the beggar's residence?

The beggar opened one eye, glanced at He Jiaqing, and closed it again.

What does that mean, he doesn't want to fight me?

Is the Green Water Beggar trying to show goodwill?

Major newspapers reported the news that Lu Maoxian was attacked again and seriously injured, with the identity of the culprit remaining a mystery.

He Jiaqing put down the newspaper and said to Old Wan: "You do things most steadily; remember, before finding out the bottom line, you cannot kill Lu Maoxian."

Wan Jinxian nodded repeatedly.

That day, He Jiaqing went around to various cinemas; 'Blood Blade Detective' had a good attendance, with major cinemas at around seventy percent, and He Jiaqing was very satisfied with this result.

Taking advantage of the intermission of the movie, he quietly entered the projection room; the worker responsible for playing the movie was chatting and didn't notice He Jiaqing at all.

He Jiaqing tore a frame of film from the movie projector and brought it to the cinema box.

He took a dropper from his bosom and dripped a drop of potion onto the film.

A silver ring appeared on the film.

He Jiaqing stuck the ring on the top of his head, and his body trembled for a moment.

"The quality is not bad!" He Jiaqing praised, rubbed a ball of flame with his fingers, and burned the film.

At noon the next day, He Jiaqing set off to return to Yuezhou, and Wan Jinxian saw him off at the station.

At the time of departure, He Jiaqing repeatedly exhorted: "Keep an eye on Tu Yinghong, don't let her leave the building."

Returning from the station, Wan Jinxian entered Tu Yinghong's room.

Tu Yinghong was organizing her weapons and said to Wan Jinxian: "Don't you know how to knock before coming in?"

Wan Jinxian said: "My men saw Seeing Ling Miaoying."

"Where?"

"At Xiaoyao Wu, saw him once yesterday, and saw him again today. Do you want to see him?"

PS: What is Wan Jinxian trying to do?
