Chapter 685: Rhyme Cultivator
Li Li Banfeng collected more than two thousand copper coins, suddenly felt danger approaching, took Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan and left the Western-style building immediately, and jumped down along the edge of the cloud.
Not long after the two left, Master Master Kongfang arrived at the cloud and returned to the house.
Just by taking one look in the hall, Master Master Kongfang knew that someone had entered the house.
Who did this?
There are not many people who know the Cloud Gate technique, and even fewer people know about this residence of his. Who would have entered the main door of this house?
Walking to the second floor, Master Master Kongfang's body trembled, and copper coins all over his body jingled.
The treasury was robbed!
Pushing open the door to take a look, more than two thousand copper coins were swept away!
This is his blood, every copper coin was cast with blood!
Actually came to the clouds to steal things!
Who found this cloud?
Master Master Kongfang checked the cloud surface and gradually found some traces.
He came to the edge of the cloud and judged the position where the intruder entered and exited.
But this is the sky; just having the position of entry and exit is not enough to judge the direction of the intruder.
Master Master Kongfang stood at the edge of the cloud and looked into the distance.
While scanning, he saw a cloud appearing nearby.
Is this cloud newly made?
Is this another new neighbor?
The person who came to my house should be this neighbor, but this neighbor has no manners!
Today I have to have a good talk with this person about reason!
Master Master Kongfang jumped and landed on the opposite cloud.
Poof!
This cloud land is a bit different. As soon as Master Master Kongfang landed, half of his body sank into the cloud.
La!
The cloud was full of steam, and Master Master Kongfang's copper coins didn't defend against it; his legs were covered in blisters from the scalding.
After standing firm on the cloud, Master Master Kongfang stared at this piece of cloud for a long time.
The mist was very thick, and Master Master Kongfang could only see a small piece of ground under his feet, but even this small piece made Master Master Kongfang feel very unreasonable.
Does this thing count as a cloud?
Why does it feel like this is just a ball of cotton?
Putting such a large ball of cotton in the sky, what use can it have?
Master Master Kongfang looked at the blisters on his legs, thinking that this was deliberately arranged as a trap to calculate him?
Maybe the whole cloud is hard, and only this trap part is soft.
But as far as Master Master Kongfang knows, this kind of thing is very difficult to achieve on a cloud. The texture of a cloud cannot be easily changed, and it is difficult to mix with other substances, which makes arranging traps on the clouds a very difficult thing.
"Looks like I met an expert," Master Master Kongfang laughed, "No matter what means you used today, I will clear you out, I want to let you see what it means to have no grass growing!"
Ten minutes later, Master Master Kongfang returned to his house.
He cut open his trouser leg and applied medicine to himself. After applying half of it, he threw the cotton swab on the ground.
"That broken place is really just a large piece of cotton, damn, there isn't even a root of grass."
In the Personal Residence, the glove spat out the copper coins, and the phonograph happily accepted them, "Husband, it's enough." "What's enough?"
"The things to cross the boundary line are enough."
Li Li Banfeng picked up a copper coin and looked at it, "Can this thing cross the boundary line?"
The phonograph sprayed steam happily, "At first I didn't expect it either, I just felt these copper coins were good things, so I kept them. But this note from the Peddler says that Master Master Kongfang has the means to cross the boundary line, and he uses these copper coins. According to the little slave's calculation, melting all these things and re-refining them can make a new piece of equipment."
Li Li Banfeng was pleasantly surprised. He took the information sent by the Peddler and looked at it. There was indeed a record about Master Master Kongfang.
It turns out the Peddler had also been developing Master Master Kongfang's functions.
"Precious lady, what equipment can be made this time? A new Dark Bridge Cannon?"
The phonograph shook its big horn, "Not a Dark Bridge Cannon, it's a type of firearm."
What's the use of a firearm?
"Burning the boundary line?"
"Not burning, but covering the boundary line with firelight."
Li Li Banfeng said with pleasant surprise, "Is it a lamp?"
The lady thought about it and said, "Calling it a lamp is not wrong. This thing is easy to make. As long as the equipment is handy, it can be made in two or three days. Let's set off now."
Li Li Banfeng wanted to let the lady rest for a night, but the lady couldn't wait. Li Li Banfeng sent her to the laboratory overnight.
The phonograph let the teapot, pendulum, and Dream-Virtue stay behind to help, as these three were handy to use.
None of the three were willing, but when the phonograph ignited the flames, no one dared to say half a word of dissatisfaction.
Li Li Banfeng didn't lock the laboratory. He left Green Flower's bowl directly to the lady and also left a phone for the lady so she could contact him at any time.
He went to change the battery for the lady. On the way, he received a call from Luo Zhengnan, "Seventh Master, Liao Liao Zihui just came, he said something happened to the Dark Star Bureau."
"What happened?"
"The specific reason wasn't clear, it seems to be related to He He Haisheng."
Was He He Haisheng rescued by He He Jiaqing?
He He Jiaqing was able to rescue Big Head back then, so it's very possible he could break into the Dark Star Bureau again.
But when Big Head was detained, Shen Shen Jingye didn't pay much attention, and even fell for He He Jiaqing's diversionary tactic that day.
He He Haisheng was under strict surveillance. If the Dark Star Bureau couldn't even watch a person under these circumstances, Li Li Banfeng didn't know what to say.
Following the New Ground, he walked to Iron Gate Fort, ran all the way to Flower Lake Park, and rushed back to the Dark Star Bureau.
Chen Chen Zhangrui was spinning around in anxiety. When he saw Li Qi, he was so nervous he couldn't speak.
Li Li Banfeng saw many guests coming to the Dark Star Bureau. Gao Gao Yina came; it seems she doesn't count as a big shot.
There were also many people he didn't recognize who came. Gao Gao Yina was very respectful to them; these people should be the real superiors.
Li Li Banfeng didn't greet these superiors. Using the Residential Cultivator talent, he returned to his office silently. Having alarmed so many figures, it seems this matter is not small.
He He Haisheng shouldn't have attracted so much attention, right?
Li Li Banfeng called Chen Chen Zhangrui over, "Did He He Haisheng get lost?"
Chen Chen Zhangrui shook his head, "He He Haisheng didn't get lost, the data room was destroyed."
Li Li Banfeng smiled upon hearing this; it turned out to be a false alarm.
There was nothing real in that data room, it was all bait for fishing. If it's broken, let it be broken. What is there to worry about?
"Such a small matter, and you didn't even tell Liao Liao Zihui, making me run for nothing!" Li Li Banfeng thought again, "Such a small matter wouldn't alarm so many people. Did you catch a big fish?"
Chen Chen Zhangrui shook his head, "Li Bureau, it's not the fishing data room, this time it's the real data room."
"There's a real data room?" Li Li Banfeng asked, "What's in the real data room?"
Chen Chen Zhangrui shook his head, "I don't know what's in it. No one has the qualifications to check this real data room."
Li Li Banfeng said, "The Dark Star Bureau's data room, we don't have the qualifications to check? Who has the qualifications?"
"Previously, only Bureau Chief Shen had the qualifications to enter and exit the real data room. Apart from him, no one knew where the real data room was, and not many people even knew of its existence."
Li Li Banfeng rolled his eyes. Back then, he asked Shen Shen Jingye if there was a high-level archive room, and Shen Shen Jingye said the high-level archive room shouldn't be in the Dark Star Bureau.
This old guy lied to me again!
"Old Chen, do you know of the existence of the real data room?"
"I know there is such a data room, but I have never been there, and I don't know where the real data room is."
Li Li Banfeng felt this logic didn't make sense, "Then how do you know the real data room was destroyed?"
Chen Chen Zhangrui told the course of events, "Last night, the Dark Star Bureau was invaded. This matter can be confirmed to be done by He He Jiaqing, and Big Head might have participated too. From the surveillance footage, I can recognize some of their characteristics."
"Their target should be He He Haisheng, but they didn't know He He Haisheng's detention location. Judging from the surveillance footage, they spent most of their time searching everywhere. For a period of time, they entered a surveillance blind spot, and after a very short time, they
Li Li Banfeng smiled and said, "I'm not playing with them; I can really get their contracts. Let's use Gu Gu Wuyan first,
to set an example for them."
The three of them set off that day for the new land at Flower Immortal Manor. On the way, Chu Er cautioned Li Li Banfeng: "Gu Gu Wuyan's Daoist sect is special; you must be extremely careful."
"What Daoist sect is he from?"
"He is a Rhyme Cultivator. He speaks in rhyme. The more precise the rhyme, the more what he says aligns with the enemy, and the stronger his combat power becomes."
Upon hearing about rhyming, Li Li Banfeng first thought of poets: "Did Rhyme Cultivation originate from Literary Cultivation?"
Chu Shaoqiang shook his head and said, "Literary Cultivators study the Four Books and Five Classics, while Rhyme Cultivators deal with marketplace vulgarities. They don't come from the same background.
Your Highness, if you want to talk business with Gu Gu Wuyan, you must remain calm and composed. Rhyme Cultivators are notoriously irritating; don't take his words to heart."
The three arrived at Gu Gu Wuyan's territory. This hundred-mile stretch had already been developed by more than thirty percent. Inside the new land were villages, shops, and even a theater, somewhat similar to a proper village, which made Li Li Banfeng feel very close to it.
Chu Shaoqiang entered a noodle shop and said to Li Li Banfeng, "Gu Gu Wuyan always comes to this shop. Let's wait here for a while; we'll definitely meet him today."
Li Li Banfeng scanned the customers in the noodle shop. This wasn't a large establishment; those who came here were all farmers and hunters from the village, eating and drinking primarily to fill their stomachs.
Being able to eat here frequently proved that Gu Gu Wuyan shouldn't have any airs.
Chu Shaoqiang ordered three bowls of noodles. The three ate while waiting. Just as they were finishing, a sound of bells rang out at the entrance.
Chu Shaoqiang said, "Gu Gu Wuyan is here."
Li Li Banfeng turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, his hair combed neatly and his face washed clean.
He wore a short jacket of blue cloth washed to a pale color, covered in patches.
In his hands, he held a pair of massive ox-thigh bones, with red tassels tied to the bones and bells fastened to the bottom.
The two ox-thigh bones clattered and clacked, keeping time as the man began to sing:
"Open the fan, take a big step, before my eyes I've reached the noodle shop. Noodle shop, swinging the big knife, good broth, good soup, good seasoning, good clear water, good white flour, mixing the dough with an egg, rolling it into a big sheet, cutting it into a single thread of noodle, swirling in the pot, served in the bowl like lotus petals,
Delicious and good-looking, one person eats a pound and a half, I'll calculate for the shopkeeper, business is booming, you'll earn ten thousand!"
Li Li Banfeng thought the singing was quite good and found it rather interesting.
Chu Er lowered his voice and said, "This beggar is Gu Gu Wuyan."
Chu Shaoqiang frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Be respectful to your elders. This isn't a beggar; this is a 'fool'."
Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "Is calling him a fool considered respectful?"
Chu Shaoqiang said, "Your Highness, 'fool' isn't considered respectful either, but it's the jargon of this trade. He is a storyteller. The two ox bones in his hands are called 'fan-clappers'; they are his livelihood and his weapon.
People in this trade call themselves 'old fools'. Calling them fools isn't considered slighting; they are artists who make a living by performing. You must never call them beggars."
The noodle shopkeeper hurriedly took some small change and gave it to Gu Gu Wuyan.
Gu Gu Wuyan didn't take the money with his hands; he used his pair of ox-thigh bones to collect it.
Chu Er said, "This is also a rule of their trade. They must use the ox bones to collect money, and the shopkeeper must give it. If he doesn't, he'll start cursing."
As they were speaking, Gu Gu Wuyan glanced into the shop and sang while clacking his clappers: "Out the door, heading north, at a glance I see a living running dog,
Living running dog, thick-skinned, knows how to crawl, bark, and bow, acting like a human while eating noodles, once you're full, you're sure to have diarrhea!"
Chu Shaoqiang gave a dry laugh and said, "Your Highness, you see? This Rhyme Cultivation has nothing to do with Literary Cultivation. This Daoist sect is too vulgar."
Li Li Banfeng didn't think so: "I think his singing has quite a bit of literary talent. Who was he cursing just now?"
Chu Er snorted and said, "Cursing my dad, isn't he? Isn't 'living running dog' talking about him!"
Chu Shaoqiang frowned: "Presumptuous! Watch your tone. How do you know he was cursing me? It's also possible he was cursing His Highness the Prince!"
Chu Er shook his head: "He doesn't even know Seventh Brother, how could he be cursing Seventh Brother?"
Chu Shaoqiang called out to Gu Gu Wuyan: "Brother Gu, come in and have a word."
Gu Gu Wuyan held his ox-thigh bones and smiled at Chu Shaoqiang: "Whose dog leash wasn't tied, letting you out? What is there for me to say to a dog like you?"
The shopkeeper saw the situation was going wrong and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Old Fool, I've already given the money, you should move on to the next place."
"Not going to the next place today, I'm staying here!" Gu Gu Wuyan continued singing at Chu Shaoqiang, "Are you a human or a dog? Have the guts to come out and take a walk. I'm empty-handed and feeling troubled, I'll pluck your dog head to go with my wine!"
On the way here, Chu Shaoqiang had kept urging Li Qi to stay calm, but in this short time, the veins on his forehead were already popping.
This wasn't because Chu Shaoqiang's state of mind was unstable; it was because the opponent had used a Rhyme Cultivation technique. The rhyming was heart-piercing, and the storytelling used the thirteen great rhymes. As long as the speech was rhymed, every word and sentence would pierce the opponent's heart. Chu Shaoqiang was bound to lose his temper.
But losing his temper was one thing; Chu Shaoqiang didn't take any action. He had already been hit by the technique. If he started fighting Gu Gu Wuyan directly, he would definitely suffer.
Gu Gu Wuyan shouted at the door: "I'm asking if you're here to find me? Come out and trade a few blows!"
Chu Shaoqiang remained calm, pulled two earplugs out of his sleeves, and plugged his ears.
But plugging them was useless.
Gu Gu Wuyan sang two more stanzas, and Chu Shaoqiang's earplugs shattered, fresh blood flowing out from his ear canals.
The clacking outside didn't stop. Gu Gu Wuyan was still singing. Chu Shaoqiang's brow bone split, his nose bridge crooked, and his cheekbones distorted, clicking and clacking.
Chu Shaoqiang flicked his sleeve, and several buttons flew out, rushing toward Gu Gu Wuyan's face.
Originally, these buttons were very fast, but once they got close to Gu Gu Wuyan, they began to jump rhythmically along with Gu Gu Wuyan's movements.
Gu Gu Wuyan waved his hand casually, smashing the buttons to pieces. His rhythm didn't falter at all, and the rhyming became even smoother.
Chu Shaoqiang's face was covered in blood. He told Li Li Banfeng: "Your Highness, either we leave or we fight. If we delay any longer, your subordinate will be seriously injured."
Li Li Banfeng looked at Chu Er. She was sitting right next to Chu Shaoqiang and hadn't been affected at all.
Li Li Banfeng himself hadn't been affected either. The other diners in the noodle shop were terrified, but their conditions were normal.
This proved that the Rhyme Cultivation technique was directional—it was exactly what Chu Er called "alignment."
Gu Gu Wuyan was singing about Chu Shaoqiang's affairs; his target today was Chu Shaoqiang. Even if Chu Shaoqiang was well-prepared, it was useless. Once a Rhyme Cultivator gained the upper hand, it would be extremely difficult to deal with them.
The shopkeeper was still pleading: "Master Fool, don't make things difficult for me, I'm trying to run a business."
Gu Gu Wuyan snorted: "Great Shopkeeper, don't interrupt. Don't pick up curses while picking up money and treasures. Don't help him while helping people and ghosts."
Li Li Banfeng stood up and walked slowly to the door: "The shopkeeper is right; he still has to run a business. If you want to fight so badly, let's change places. I'll accompany you."
Gu Gu Wuyan looked at Li Qi and laughed while clacking his clappers: "Little brother, don't be in a hurry. You're not who I'm looking for. Who are you, who is he? I don't mistake Zhang Fei for Li Kui."
Li Li Banfeng smiled: "Never mind Zhang Fei or Li Kui, I'm here to find you today."
Gu Gu Wuyan raised his voice: "Little brother, you're talking big, staring at me and wanting to fight. If you want to fight, let's not go far. Why don't we practice right here?"
Rhyme Cultivation technique: Starting the rhyme to build momentum.
Li Li Banfeng sensed danger. Gu Gu Wuyan's combat power had clearly increased, but it was still within the range Li Li Banfeng could withstand.
The shopkeeper was so anxious he wanted to cry: "I beg you both, please just change places!"
Li Li Banfeng looked at Gu Gu Wuyan: "Can we really not change this place?"
Gu Gu Wuyan shook his head: "No changing! This is the most suitable place! Let's gamble our lives here. Whoever loses gets buried here."
For a Rhyme Cultivator, this place really couldn't be changed. He had been singing here for so long, singing in the human spirit, singing in the heart's energy, and singing in the feng shui. This was exactly the place where he was in his best state.
The pair of ox-thigh bones clacked louder and louder. The diners were so scared their eardrums hurt, and they all ran away. Gu Gu Wuyan was about to use his ruthless skills.
"Little brother, you really dare to come. Dare to come, dare to kill, dare to bury. Shopkeeper, do me a favor, don't sell noodles, let's sell coffins,
This coffin of ours is truly good, one end big and one end small, once a dead person is inside, they can't run, once a living person is inside, they can't stand it,
It's just the right size for you, get buried and be at peace early!"
Li Li Banfeng felt his body trembling in waves. He had been hit by the technique.
This was a Rhyme Cultivation technique: Rhyming to pull the tendons—it was a Rhyme Cultivator's means of killing.
Every word and sentence fell onto Li Li Banfeng's joints, pulling at his bones and causing his internal organs to tremble together. If it were an ordinary person, their blood and flesh would have scattered on the spot.
But Li Li Banfeng didn't scatter. He used his "Thick-Hearted and Kind" technique to resist it hard, walking toward Gu Gu Wuyan step by step.
Chu Shaoqiang was shocked.
Li Li Banfeng was a Traveling Cultivator. He didn't dodge or run, yet he could actually withstand Gu Gu Wuyan's killing move.
Gu Gu Wuyan was also a bit nervous. The momentum he had just built up suddenly dropped by half: "Young man, your cultivation isn't low. May I ask your honorable name?"
Li Li Banfeng didn't speak. The Tang Dao suddenly jumped out and stabbed toward Gu Gu Wuyan's face.
Gu Gu Wuyan hurriedly used the ox-thigh bones in his hands to block.
Blocking this move, Gu Gu Wuyan saw the appearance of the Tang Dao clearly, and his hands trembled. He seemed to recognize this blade.
The Tang Dao suddenly turned, changing the stab into a slash, and slashed at Gu Gu Wuyan's chest.
Gu Gu Wuyan used the ox bones to parry again, but he couldn't change as fast as the Tang Dao and was slashed.
But the Tang Dao didn't leave its sheath; it just gestured in front of his chest.
Gu Gu Wuyan's face turned bright red. He didn't know whether to fight or not.
The Tang Dao circled Gu Gu Wuyan for over a dozen rounds, never leaving its sheath.
Not leaving the sheath meant it wasn't considered drawing the blade, so the Tang Dao wasn't restricted by the "Three Blades" rule.
He still wanted to continue fighting Gu Gu Wuyan, but Gu Gu Wuyan didn't want to move anymore. He stood in place with his head lowered.
"Donkey Master, is that you?" Gu Gu Wuyan asked in a low voice. He not only recognized the appearance of the Tang Dao but also saw its unique blade technique.
Li Li Banfeng was stunned. Gu Gu Wuyan actually knew the Tang Dao was Yuan Shoulv?
How did he see that?
The Tang Dao had been at home for a while, and it seemed his wife had only just discovered his identity. Even Hong Ying hadn't recognized that the Tang Dao was Yuan Shoulv.
Were these two so familiar with each other?
The Tang Dao poked Gu Gu Wuyan in the chest.
Gu Gu Wuyan didn't dare to dodge or parry; he just endured it in place.
"Donkey Master, I won't fight anymore," Gu Gu Wuyan raised his head to look at Li Li Banfeng. "This young hero, may I have your name?"
Li Li Banfeng said: "Let's find a suitable place to talk slowly."
Chu Shaoqiang and Chu Chu Huaiyuan wanted to follow, but Li Li Banfeng waved his hand, telling them to wait in the noodle shop.
Gu Gu Wuyan didn't insist anymore. He stretched out his hand and said "Please." Li Li Banfeng followed Gu Gu Wuyan out of the village and into a small courtyard.
There was only one tiled house in the courtyard, and the furnishings were very simple, but it was kept very clean.
Li Li Banfeng gave his name: "I am Li Qi, sorry for the intrusion."
Upon hearing the name Li Qi, Gu Gu Wuyan lowered his head and said: "Since you are Donkey Master's friend, I should treat you with courtesy.
If it were last year, I would still respect you as a hero, but now I hear you've become a prince in the Inner Continent. How am I supposed to talk about this..."
Before Li Li Banfeng could speak, the Tang Dao jumped out again and poked Gu Gu Wuyan in the chest twice.
Gu Gu Wuyan lowered his head and said: "I know, I owe Donkey Master a debt of gratitude. I can never forget it in my life. Seventh Master, if you have any orders, just give them."
Li Li Banfeng said: "I want to form an alliance with you, so we can look out for each other. Do you think that's okay?"
Gu Gu Wuyan gave a wry smile: "Your Highness, you think too highly of me. What am I? How much better am I than a beggar? What qualifications do I have to form an alliance with you?"
Li Li Banfeng frowned: "I became a prince in the Inner Continent; what does that have to do with you?"
Gu Gu Wuyan shook his head: "It doesn't have anything to do with me, but I just don't get along with the Inner Continent. As long as I have a breath left, I'll fight the Inner Continent to the end."
Li Li Banfeng smiled: "You say that everywhere you go?"
Gu Gu Wuyan nodded: "Everywhere."
Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Fine, then we don't need to form an alliance, but you must agree to two things. The first is what you just said: no matter where you go, you must fight the Inner Continent to the end. The second is that you cannot join the Hand-Foot Alliance."
Gu Gu Wuyan said: "I have a good personal relationship with Young Master He. He did mention the Hand-Foot Alliance to me, and I was thinking—"
Li Li Banfeng interrupted Gu Gu Wuyan: "Can you do the two things I just mentioned?"
Gu Gu Wuyan asked: "You don't want me to join the Hand-Foot Alliance because you don't get along with He He Jiaqing?"
Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "My business with him has nothing to do with you. I see that your bones are still quite hard, so I want you to live a few more days."
Gu Gu Wuyan didn't understand. The Tang Dao swayed in front of Gu Gu Wuyan.
Gu Gu Wuyan lowered his head and said: "Since you are Donkey Master's friend, and I still owe Donkey Master a debt of gratitude, these two things I will—"
Li Li Banfeng lowered his hat: "This doesn't count as you repaying Yuan Shoulv's debt. Yuan Shoulv saved you once again.
You owe him another life. The contract is here. Whether you sign it or not, you decide for yourself."
The Judge's Pen had already written the contract. It was just two things: first, not to surrender to the Inner Continent, and second, not to join the Hand-Foot Alliance. Gu Gu Wuyan read it once and pressed his handprint.
In Gu Gu Wuyan's view, swallowing his pride in front of Li Qi was all for Yuan Shoulv.
Li Li Banfeng took out a piece of the Iron Book of Merit and swayed it in front of Gu Gu Wuyan.
Gu Gu Wuyan was stunned. Although the handwriting on the iron book wasn't large, he naturally recognized his own name.
Li Qi took my contract?
Gu Gu Wuyan's heart hung in the air. If Li Qi wanted his life, he only needed to destroy the contract, and Gu Gu Wuyan would have no chance to fight back.
He felt a surge of conflict in his heart, thinking he should have signed the alliance contract with Li Qi just now.
This Li Qi wasn't bad. He didn't take advantage of someone in a difficult position. Donkey Master was willing to follow him, probably because he valued his character.
But since my contract is in his hands, I'll naturally be at his mercy in the future. I only hope this person can be a bit more magnanimous and not retaliate against me for today's business...
"Take it." Li Li Banfeng handed the Iron Book of Merit to Gu Gu Wuyan.
Gu Gu Wuyan was shocked for a long time. He wanted to reach out and take it, but then pulled his hand back.
"Seventh Master, what does this mean?"
"You don't want it?" Li Li Banfeng smiled, stuffed the contract into Gu Gu Wuyan's hand, and turned to leave.
Gu Gu Wuyan held the contract and chased out of the courtyard: "Seventh Master, I don't understand the situation. I apologize to you. Seventh Master, if you have any business, just tell me. I'll listen to whatever you order. You can't just give this thing to me directly. I can't just take it like this. I don't have the face for it. I'm not that kind of person.
Seventh Master, please stay. Whether it's climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, just give an order. Give me something to do,
Otherwise, I really can't accept it!"
Li Li Banfeng walked far away. Gu Gu Wuyan wanted to chase, but couldn't catch up.
The Tang Dao turned back and poked Gu Gu Wuyan: "You useless thing! I pointed out a good path for you, and you don't even know how to walk it! If I had known, I should have turned you into a blade back then!"
Gu Gu Wuyan didn't speak. He couldn't hear the Tang Dao's words, but he could sense the Tang Dao's full-hearted blame.
The Tang Dao ran back to Li Li Banfeng's side and wanted to plead again. Li Li Banfeng smiled and said: "He's a good man. As long as he doesn't violate the contract, I definitely won't make things difficult for him in the future. How did you know him?"
"When I heard the name Gu Gu Wuyan, I didn't think it would be him. Later, when Miss Chu Er said he was a Rhyme Cultivator, I got a bit suspicious.
This person was originally named Gu Dalian. Back then, he served in the military camp with me. He was always my subordinate. Later, when I became a Local Deity, he served as my guard. Later, I was defeated by the Green Flower, and he was also killed by the Green Flower.
Later, I left the chance of rebirth to him, letting him live one more time. The price was that I became a blade and could never change back, so he always felt he owed me."
Li Li Banfeng said: "You remembered a lot of things?"
"I did remember quite a bit, especially after seeing this kid, many things came back to me."
Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "You still have a means of rebirth?"
The Tang Dao shook its blade body: "It's not that I have a means of rebirth; it's that someone has such a means. Who exactly it is, I really can't remember. I vaguely feel that this matter has to do with the Inner Continent's furnace.
Gu Gu Wuyan didn't remember this person back then either. Perhaps he remembers now. Master, why don't we go back and ask him now? You have such a great debt of gratitude to him; it's impossible for him not to talk about such things."
Li Li Banfeng raised his head and looked ahead.
Chu Shaoqiang walked over.
Li Li Banfeng said to the Tang Dao: "Now is not the time. Wait until there's an opportunity later to go and ask Gu Gu Wuyan."
The Tang Dao also looked at Chu Shaoqiang: "Do we still need to be on guard against this person?"
"Of course we have to be on guard. Chu Shaoqiang has survived several brushes with death and still managed to survive until today. He is definitely not a simple character. And he came right after I finished dealing with the matter. Don't you think this is a bit coincidental?
Besides, Gu Gu Wuyan probably didn't remember who that person was either. If we didn't ask anything and had our bottom line exposed, we would suffer a huge loss."
Chu Shaoqiang walked up and asked with concern: "Your Highness, where did Gu Gu Wuyan go? He didn't hurt you, did he!"
Li Li Banfeng said: "The matter has been handled. I gave him the contract for this piece of territory."
Chu Shaoqiang was shocked: "You really have the contract?"
Li Li Banfeng smiled: "I do. I have the contracts on the list. He He Jiaqing gave them to me. Tell the other Local Deities that if they want their contracts, they should come to me to get them. If they don't believe it, go ask Gu Gu Wuyan."
Chu Shaoqiang nodded repeatedly: "We'll do as Your Highness says."
Chu Er looked at Li Qi, her face full of smiles. Every matter Li Qi accomplished made her feel very proud.
Chu Shaoqiang was a bit afraid. The Li Qi before him made him feel fearful from the bottom of his heart.
He was rethinking his own position and rethinking his plans for the next step.
Li Li Banfeng originally wanted to walk around the surrounding territory, but in the afternoon, he received a message from his wife.
"Precious husband, the thing is made."
"So fast?"
Li Li Banfeng immediately ran to the laboratory, only to see a massive torch presented before him.
The Phonograph lit the torch and said to Li Li Banfeng: "Equip it with two lenses and shine the light on the boundary line, and you can cover the boundary line. As long as the light doesn't go out, the boundary line will remain covered. It will be much easier for us to cross the boundary line." Li Li Banfeng hugged the Phonograph and kissed her for a long time.
Although the appearance was very different, Li Li Banfeng believed this was the searchlight used by the Guanfang Hall!
"Precious wife, I'll go buy the lenses right now. We'll do a test tonight!"
