Chapter 600: The Road of Foolish City

Li Li Banfeng officially became an introductory cultivator of Crazy Cultivation, and now he was doing business with four sects open.

To be honest, he had no bottom in his heart. He had never heard of anyone having cultivation bases from four sects. If one cultivation base backlashed, Li Li Banfeng wouldn't know how to deal with it.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, I still have quite a few sects on me. If I had known that this sect required applying medicinal powder, I would have definitely considered it carefully. Cultivation base backlash is not easy to deal with."

Ayi asked: "You have three or four layers of Cloud Cultivation, right? You don't need to worry once you reach this level."

Li Li Banfeng was quite pleasantly surprised: "Once you reach this level, there won't be backlash?"

Ayi smiled: "Brother, just rest assured, there will definitely be backlash."

"Sister, I'm not hoping for backlash—"

"Don't worry, our sect is very gentle. Cloud Cultivators have hard lives. Even if there is backlash, it won't cost you your life."

"This sect is gentle?" Li Li Banfeng gave a bitter smile, "Is the consequence of backlash going crazy?"

"Going crazy is a good thing! The crazier we are, the higher our cultivation base, so there's nothing to worry about regarding backlash.

Brother, we don't need to worry about anything in the future. The essence of our sect is: don't hold on to things you don't want to do, and don't wait for things you want to do. If you learn these two sentences, you can build a solid foundation for the sect."

"Just these two sentences?"

"Don't underestimate these two sentences. In our sect, there might not be a single person who has truly understood these two sentences.

"Not a single one?" Li Li Banfeng looked at Ayi.

Ayi nodded seriously: "Including me, the ancestor of the sect, not a single one. You don't know the difficulty here because you don't know the deep meaning of these two sentences.

You should have stayed in the village for ten or eight years, but you insisted on going out. Now there are only three days left.

Even if you have good talent, I don't know what level you can comprehend in these three days.

This is your own decision. I never worry about other people's affairs. How to cultivate in the future depends on your own fortune."

The next morning, Li Li Banfeng followed Ayi to the Gourd Belly.

In the Gourd Belly lived people who had signed the contract.

These people lived in three villages, and the first village was called Buwu Village.

Entering Buwu Village, Li Li Banfeng saw a girl around twenty years old, sitting at the door of her house wiping tears.

Ayi introduced this girl to Li Li Banfeng.

Her name was Ami, living in a rural village. Her father went to the city to work, made money, and found another woman to live with.

After her mother received the news, she remarried and left her and her younger brother to their elderly grandfather.

Her grandfather went out to gamble, had his legs broken by someone, couldn't get out of bed, and needed a large sum of medical expenses.

Her younger brother fought with someone and was sentenced to three years; he hasn't come out yet, and the family is facing a large compensation.

All these things were carried by her alone. She worked three jobs, and all the money she earned was used to pay off debts. She couldn't even bear to buy new clothes for twenty yuan. But no matter how she saved, she couldn't fill such a big hole.

A friend introduced her to a job that made money quickly. Just when she was determined to do it, Ayun led her to Hulu Village.

There is a place that can let her get rid of everything outside; this is her blessing.

She lived in the Gourd Waist for half a month, and it was time to decide whether to stay or leave.

According to the rules of Hulu Village, she had two choices: either stay in Hulu Village and cultivate well, or leave Hulu Village and never come back.

Ami chose to stay. She really didn't want to go back and face that kind of life, but she had lived here for more than a year, and she would cry at least once every day.

She couldn't let go; whether it was her grandfather or her younger brother, she couldn't let go.

Seeing the village chief coming, Ami quickly wiped her tears, lowered her head, and stood at the door.

Ayi had a dark face and scolded Ami: "You useless thing, you only know how to cry all day. With your way of crying, can there still be a harvest in the fields?"

Ami didn't dare to speak. A shadow drilled out from behind Li Li Banfeng.

He struggled to take the shadow back and asked Ayi sincerely: "What does her crying have to do with the harvest in the fields?"

Ayi glared at Li Li Banfeng: "Isn't this obvious? She cries every day, she must have shed her tears into the fields."

Li Li Banfeng still didn't understand: "Does shedding tears into the fields have anything to do with the harvest?"

"It has a lot to do with it! Tears are all salt water. If you water the fields with salt water, can the crops still grow? Look at the fields in the Gourd Head, they are full of harvest all year round. Look at her place again, how much grain can be harvested in a year?"

This isn't right, is it?

"Whether you harvest a lot of grain here depends on the means of the Farming Cultivators, right?"

Ayi shook her head: "There are no Farming Cultivators here, only Crazy Cultivators."

"Can Crazy Cultivation also determine the growth of crops?"

"Of course it can. This is one of the three great techniques of our sect, called 'Five Grains Abundant Harvest'. But brother, your cultivation base is still shallow, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn this technique yet."

Crazy Cultivation had many means that made it difficult for Li Li Banfeng to understand, but Ami, this girl, was indeed going to starve. She worked very hard, but the harvest in the fields was always poor, and the rice jar had already bottomed out.

"Anyway, she hasn't joined the sect, I shouldn't care about her. Let her cry here until she dies!" Ayi turned and left.

The village chief's wife pushed the cart and took the opportunity to enter the courtyard, putting a bag of sweet potatoes by Ami's wall. Ami waved her hand repeatedly: "Uncle, don't give me food anymore, the village chief will scold you again."

The village chief's wife smiled: "Child, keep it and eat it. The village chief scolds me, that's because she loves me, and she can't bear to let you starve either."

Before long, Amu carried two loads of fish, left two for Ami, and sent the rest to other families.

The more Ayi looked, the angrier she got: "Buwu Village is the most useless, they all have to rely on others to support them. They can't even let go of the little things in their hearts, and they still talk about cultivation? We shouldn't have kept them in Hulu Village in the first place! Our sect cannot tolerate such useless people!"

Li Li Banfeng thought that everyone who entered the Gourd Belly had already joined Crazy Cultivation, but the real situation was not like that.

Buwu Village had more than five hundred villagers. Some of them had just come to the village, and some had been in the village for more than ten years. They were not qualified to get the Crazy Cultivation medicinal powder because they had things in their hearts, and they couldn't let go of any of them.

Walking on the village road of Buwu Village, Li Li Banfeng could always hear some crying. What color were these cries? Were they guilt or helplessness? Perhaps even the projector couldn't tell clearly.

Seeing that the village chief had gone far, Ami sat in the courtyard and cried secretly again.

Li Li Banfeng suddenly appeared at the courtyard entrance. Ami quickly stood up and wiped her tears.

She heard the village chief call this man brother, knowing that this man was not simple. But it wasn't easy to hold back the crying. Ami took a breath, and her whole body was trembling.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Missing your younger brother and grandfather?"

Ami nodded.

"When you were by their side, were they doing well?"

Hearing this, Ami felt even more uncomfortable. With tears in her eyes, she whispered: "No."

Li Li Banfeng nodded and directly reversed cause and effect: "It's precisely because you were by their side that they didn't do well."

Ami was stunned. Li Li Banfeng's words made people a bit angry.

Li Li Banfeng added: "Now that you are not by their side, they will do very well."

Ami's face turned pale. These words made people even angrier.

She wanted to argue with Li Li Banfeng, but she was slow-witted and didn't know what to say.

By the time she thought of what to say, Li Li Banfeng had already gone far away.

Ami was so angry she wanted to cry, but after trying for a long time, she couldn't cry.

What's there to cry about? Didn't they all do quite well?

Ami washed her face with a basin of water. Her eyes were swollen badly, which was a bit ugly.

Ugly is ugly. Today she ate someone's sweet potato, tomorrow she ate someone's salted fish. She had become a beggar, so how could she care about being ugly or not?

The more Ami thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She remembered that the village chief had given her a box of powder last month, so she took it out and applied some on her face.

The powder seemed to have been applied too much, and her face was a bit too white.

White is white. It looks pleasing to the eye.

Ami carried her hoe and went to the fields to work.

Doing farm work, why apply powder? If others see it, will they think I'm crazy?

Crazy is crazy. As long as I feel comfortable in my heart, isn't that enough?

The next morning, Li Li Banfeng followed Ayi to the second village—Kaiwu Village. At the entrance of the village, two men were playing chess.

One man was not skilled at chess and lost a game, pestering his opponent for another.

The man opposite smiled: "I'm not taking advantage of you. When I pestered my dad to play chess, it was exactly the same as your posture just now."

"Do you still miss your dad?"

"Sometimes, I occasionally think of him."

"Do you want to see him?"

"No, in this life, I will never see him again."

The two continued to play chess. There were more than two hundred villagers in Kaiwu Village. These villagers originally came from Buwu Village. Because they let go of the things in their hearts and had some understanding, they got the medicinal powder and started real cultivation, but the degree of cultivation varied.

Everyone's cultivation base could be judged by the crops in the fields. Some families had quite a surplus, some were barely enough to eat, but none of them needed help from others.

Li Li Banfeng walked around the farmland, which confirmed a fact: the growth of crops was indeed related to the cultivation base of Crazy Cultivation.

But there was one thing Li Li Banfeng hadn't found the reason for yet. In Kaiwu Village, he only saw young people and middle-aged people, the oldest being about fifty. He didn't see any elderly people.

Buwu Village had quite a few elderly people. Could it be that these elderly people didn't enter Kaiwu Village?

Or rather, those elderly people became younger after enlightenment?

"Sister, does our sect have techniques to change age?"

Ayi smiled: "Our sect has all kinds of techniques."

Li Li Banfeng bowed deeply: "Sister, I want to learn this."

Ayi took away her smile, her expression very serious: "Brother, this is one of the three great techniques of our sect. Are you truly wanting to learn?"

"I truly want to learn!"

"Have you let go of everything in your heart?"

"I have let go of everything."

"Brother, your cultivation base is still shallow, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it!"

Using this sentence to fob me off again?

"Sister, teach me the essence first, I will cultivate slowly in the future." Li Li Banfeng insisted on learning.

Ayi first taught Li Li Banfeng to meditate: "I will pass the essence to you now. Listen carefully: first cast aside all things in front of you, then unload all worries from your heart. In the emptiness of thought, perceive the passage of time; when the state of mind is clear, comprehend the changes of vicissitudes."

Li Li Banfeng sat for more than an hour, letting his thoughts become completely calm: "Sister, I have let go of the trifles in my heart and comprehended the changes of time and vicissitudes."

"Good, I knew you had this understanding! Our sect's technique requires a very high state of mind. Now recite the name of the technique loudly with me: Crazy Cultivation Technique, I Want to Be Immortal!"

"I want to—" Li Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, turned his face to look at Ayi, "Sister, this technique was made up by you just now, right?"

"Nonsense! With your state of mind, how could you learn the technique?" Ayi was very angry, "I told you, this is one of the three great techniques of our sect. Is this your attitude? And you say I made it up, I made it up last night!"

On the third day, Li Li Banfeng followed Ayi to the third village—Chewu Village.

There were less than a hundred villagers in the village, and they were holding a grand banquet. The young men set up a ring to wrestle, and the girls wore flower wreaths and danced beside the ring.

Li Li Banfeng asked Ayi: "What kind of good day is this?"

Ayun said mysteriously: "You must not tell anyone about this, Ah Chai's old sow gave birth, and gave birth to twelve piglets in one litter!"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "Is this worth being so happy about?"

"Then tell me, what is worth being happy about?"

Li Li Banfeng was quite disdainful: "There are many happy things, can piglets count as anything?"

Ayi smiled, put on a flower wreath, and danced with the girls.

Although he didn't know how old she was, she looked as young as those girls.

In the entire Chewu Village, everyone was very young. Their cultivation base had reached a certain level, and after a while, they would leave the Gourd Belly and go to live in the Gourd Head.

Li Li Banfeng sat on the side watching the fun. He really couldn't understand the logic of so many people celebrating for twelve piglets.

Ayun was afraid that Li Qi would feel bored, so she brought a jar of wine and wanted to have two drinks with Li Qi. She carried the wine jar for a long time but couldn't find Li Qi's figure.

"Have you seen Li Qi?"

Amu pointed at the ring: "He's there, he's won six games in a row, he's really a good hand."

Li Li Banfeng was wrestling on the stage, drinking when he won, and drinking when he lost. Li Li Banfeng didn't know how many games he had won, nor did he know how much wine he had drunk.

At noon the next day, Li Li Banfeng woke up, drank a bowl of yellow wine to relieve his hangover, and followed Ayi,

back to the Gourd Head.

Today was the day he left the village, and Zhang Peiwun was leaving with him.

Ayi allowed Zhang Peiwun to leave the village: "I do things fairly. Since I made an exception for Li Qi, I must also make an exception for you. You both go."

Li Li Banfeng was an introductory cultivator of Crazy Cultivation, and Ayi trusted him, so she didn't make any demands on him.

But Zhang Peiwun was not a cultivator, so he had to sign another contract, guaranteeing that he would not reveal anything related to Hulu Village after going out.

Li Li Banfeng asked Ayi: "You trust him that much?"

Ayi shook her head: "I don't trust him, but I trust my contract paper. If they violate the contract,

they will be severely punished. Before they can even say anything about Hulu Village, they will lose their lives.

My contract paper can also let them avoid interrogation. Even if they meet a Virtue Cultivator, they won't be able to ask a single word of truth."

No wonder the Dark Star Bureau had interrogated many survivors before and hadn't been able to ask for the truth.

A contract paper that can avoid Virtue Cultivators, this thing had really never been heard of.

Ayi introduced: "This is one of the four great techniques of our sect, called 'Falling Pen Becomes Truth'. The essence of the technique lies in..."

"Wait a minute, there was 'Special Kill for Foolish Eggs', 'Five Grains Abundant Harvest', 'I Want to Be Immortal' before, and now there is another 'Falling Pen Becomes Truth'. Why are there four out of three great techniques?"

Ayi counted with her fingers, calculated twice, and said seriously: "This is one of the four great techniques of our sect, Falling Pen Becomes Truth—"

Zhang Peiwun held the contract, still hesitating whether to sign or not.

"They said that once you leave Hulu Village, you can never come back. Is this true?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "It's true. The village chief says one thing and means another. Numbers above three might not be accurate."

Zhang Peiwun lowered his head and said: "It's better not to come back. Who would want to come to this kind of place? There are lunatics everywhere here.

I think about going home every day."

Although he said so, he never signed his name on the contract.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Can you tell me, who exactly is that taxi driver?"

"Him—..." Zhang Peiwun hesitated.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him. Since you told me in the village, even if it's about things in the village, I will absolutely not mention it outside."

There was no problem with the logic, and Zhang Peiwun also felt there was no problem. He lowered his voice and said: "He is my high school classmate. I got into university, but he dropped out because of his family.

The month before last, he recognized me on the street, and we chatted for a few sentences. He knew that my current life—was a bit special.

We chatted a few more sentences and went back more than ten minutes late. My mom was looking for me everywhere and almost called the police.

Since then, we haven't been in contact. Later, one day, I was buying medicine for my mom, and just as I came out of the pharmacy, I happened to meet him on the side of the road.

He stopped the car, opened the window, and said to me, look behind you, there are good things.

I looked behind me, and I saw two beautiful girls.

I hesitated whether to go, and he said to me, go quickly, that's a good place, don't come back once you go."

What a smart taxi driver, he must have been to Hulu Village.

Zhang Peiwun picked up the pen, his hand shaking a bit: "I don't know if this is a good place, but I, must go home."

Before he could put pen to paper, Li Li Banfeng snatched the contract away.

He took out another contract, the one Ayun gave him:

Outsider so-and-so, voluntarily came to Hulu Village, lived in Hulu Village for half a month, and decided his own destination. "Sign this, and go live in the Gourd Waist for half a month first."

Zhang Peiwun's hand was shaking: "I can't—"

"You can."

"My mom is sick and needs me to take care of her."

"She's not sick. The medicine she takes is not for treating illness."

"Without me, she can't live."

"Don't worry, she can live, because she can't bear to die."

Zhang Peiwun held the pen and looked at Li Li Banfeng: "Really?"

"Really."

Zhang Peiwun, who had been struggling here for more than ten days, signed the contract, pressed his blood handprint, and followed Ayun to the Gourd Waist.

Ayi smiled: "This kid, he's been lingering here refusing to sign the contract, just wanting to drag it out here. I don't know what's the use of him dragging it out like this."

Li Li Banfeng understood Zhang Peiwun's mood very well: "He wants to find an excuse for himself, an excuse to stay here forever. He will say that it wasn't a decision he made, it wasn't that he abandoned his mother, but that he was helpless."

Ayi sighed: "Look at how much people like the village, and look at you, you have to leave so urgently."

"Sister, if I don't leave now, I won't be able to bear to leave." Li Li Banfeng stood on the twenty-six-story high-rise, looking down at the full view of the village.

Ayi took a jade pendant off her neck, put it on Li Li Banfeng's neck, and smiled: "I know you still have things to do outside, but remember the way back."

"Sister, there is only one Hulu Village, how many roads are there to enter the village?" Li Li Banfeng hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming here.

Ayi thought carefully: "I can't count how many roads I've built. Perhaps there are more than the roads to enter Foolish City."

The previous speculation was correct; the situation of Hulu Village was indeed similar to Foolish City.

"Sister, did you build the roads to Foolish City?"

"It was me," Ayi admitted, "I built many roads to enter the city for Foolish City, but usually only one road is open, and the others are not. As for which road is open, Sun Sun Tiecheng has the final say."

Ayi still recognized Sun Sun Tiecheng!

Ayi and Foolish City had an intersection!

Thinking about what the Ninth Girl said before, the Leaving Suishenju didn't know the origin of Hulu Village, but Hua Jiuer knew.

Hua Jiuer is Sun Sun Tiecheng's daughter, which proves that Hua Jiuer and Ayi are also old acquaintances.

"In other words, the situation of Hulu Village is the same as Foolish City, there are also many roads, and which road is open is decided by Sister."

"Not the same," Ayi shook her head, "I made a key for Hulu Village. As long as there is a key, you can open the door to enter the village."

"..."

Li Li Banfeng touched the jade pendant on his chest: "Is this the key?"

Ayi nodded: "I trust you, so I gave you the key."

"How to use this key?"

"Letting go of things in your heart, I'm afraid you can't do it, but if you can forget things in front of your eyes and want to come back and stay for a few days, this key can help you open the village gate."

Li Li Banfeng bowed deeply and asked: "Sister, you can build so many roads for Hulu Village, is it one of the five great techniques of our sect? I really want to learn this."

Ayi shook her head: "This is not a technique of our sect, this is a Craftsmanship Cultivation technique, you won't be able to learn it.

Among the hundred sects in the world, Crazy Cultivation and Foolish Cultivation belong to the most special type. This type of sect can accommodate other sects, but it is difficult for other sects to be compatible with each other.

When I fought with you before, I found that you have Arrow Cultivation talent, but you'd better not practice Arrow Cultivation, and don't practice other sects. The barriers between sects are strict, and the bitter fruit of backlash is not easy to bear. Brother, take care."

Ayi led Li Li Banfeng to leave Hulu Village. Walking to the end of the mountain road, Ayi gave a sweet smile and sang a mountain song:

"Brother Lang~ the horse tassel flowers on the mountain are blooming~

Brother Lang, walk slowly~ pick another flower for your sister~

Standing on the petals~ sister is waiting for you to return~ Brother Lang, come back early~ don't wait until the flowers wither—"

Ayi's singing voice faded away, and the surrounding scenery gradually faded. When Ayi's singing voice disappeared completely, the scenery of Hulu Village also disappeared.

Li Li Banfeng returned to the entrance of the cinema. This road was still blocked, and there were Dark Star Bureau agents monitoring nearby.

Taking advantage of the agents not noticing, Li Li Banfeng left the street, returned to his residence, and entered the Leaving Suishenju to rest for a while. Li Li Banfeng's understanding of Crazy Cultivation was still very vague. Ayi's state was too abstract.

He couldn't tell which sentence was the truth and which was the crazy talk.

Li Li Banfeng went to the Ninth Room: "Hua Jiuer, you knew Ayi before, right?"

"Yes, she is my sworn sister."

"What kind of person is she?"

"Since I can remember, she has been crazy. At that time, she always wanted to create her own sect. After having her own sect, she wanted to compete with Sun Sun Tiecheng for the number one sect in the world, and the two of them were always fighting."

"Isn't Sun Sun Tiecheng your father?"

"Yes," the Ninth Girl didn't want to mention her father, and continued to talk about Ayi, "After she was defeated by Sun Sun Tiecheng, she left Puluo Continent and built Hulu Village.

I stayed in Hulu Village for a few days, but the people there were too crazy, I couldn't stand it, so I moved out.

Later, I heard from my mother that she ate something wrong when she was pregnant, so Ayi was a lunatic from birth—" "Wait a minute!" Li Li Banfeng interrupted the Ninth Girl, "Your mother ate something wrong, why did Ayi become a lunatic?"

"Because she was born by my mother."

Li Li Banfeng sorted out his thoughts and asked again: "Aren't you also born by your mother?"

"Yes!"

"You two were born by the same mother, then why is she your sworn sister?"

Hua Jiuer explained: "She said we have a deep bond, so we should become sworn siblings, so I became sworn siblings with her. She is the second sister, and I am the third sister."

"Who is the eldest sister?"

"My mother."

Li Li Banfeng didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Jiuer explained one more sentence: "We wanted Sun Sun Tiecheng to be the eldest brother, but he didn't agree."

The shadow stood up from under his feet and sat side by side with Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "How did Brother Sun survive those years?"

The shadow also sighed, looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "I always feel you are crazy, but actually you are quite a good person."

After leaving the Ninth Room, Li Li Banfeng's mind was a bit unclear. Xiang Xiang Hongying saw his footsteps were unsteady and stepped forward to support him: "Qi Lang, are you injured?"

The Leaving Suishenju enlightened him: "Ah Qi, Crazy Cultivation matters cannot be inferred by common sense, don't take it to heart."

The sickle said: "It won't work if you don't take it to heart. Ah Qi is already a Crazy Cultivator now, and he has to cultivate according to their rules."

The projector thought carefully: "Director Qi, if you have some achievements in Crazy Cultivation, will you become sworn siblings with our Madam?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying kicked the projector: "You killer! Can't you speak properly?"

Li Li Banfeng gave a bitter smile: "What's the use of just being able to speak? Things have already become like this—"

No one's comfort was useful. Li Li Banfeng went to Qiqiu City in a daze. By the time he arrived at the laboratory, the Madam's experiment was almost successful.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? You look soul-lost."

"Madam, I went to a strange place and met a strange person. She became sworn siblings with her younger sister, and the eldest sister is her own mother—"

Li Li Banfeng said a lot of incoherent things. The phonograph hugged Li Li Banfeng: "Husband, what exactly happened? Don't be anxious, tell Little Slave slowly."

"Madam, if one day, I go crazy, what should you do?"

The phonograph smiled: "What if you go crazy? Even if you go crazy, you are still my crazy man, and Little Slave will still love you."

"Heart and liver treasure, suddenly before my eyes, I am short of breath, moved for you, hoping you can discover, returning a string of lovesickness—" The Madam sang that song "Heart and Liver Treasure".

Li Li Banfeng lay in the Madam's arms, looking up at the Madam, the clouds of sorrow on his face gradually dissipated.

"Husband, Little Slave promised to give you a good thing, it will be finished soon." The Madam transferred to the puppet and pushed a piece of equipment over.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the equipment, and its overall shape was a bit like a cannon.

"What is the use of this thing? It shouldn't be the same as the magnetic shock cannon, right?"

"It's different. This thing should be able to build a passage on the boundary line, but whether it works or not, it's hard to say now."
