Chapter 759: Senior, Please Take Your Seat
The Thief Cultivator Ancestor, Laughing Xiao Qianshou, was currently on Li Li Zhijuan's sewing machine.
"Really didn't expect, I hid in such a remote place as Iron Gate Fortress, you could actually find me?"
"Li Qi, can you tell me the truth, are you the Fortress Master of Iron Gate Fortress?"
Li Li Banfeng didn't answer. He didn't even appear.
Li Banfeng Yi took out a silver dollar and hit the sewing machine fiercely.
The sewing machine's thread spool turned, wrapping the silver dollar, and at the same time, a large piece of shadow stepped forward, surrounding the sewing machine.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou saw some clues: "First it was the boundary line, it should be 'Closing the Door and Shutting the House', and then it was a group of shadows,"
"This should be 'Shadows Hanging Together',"
"You even entered the house before, but Li Li Zhijuan didn't see you. I always thought you were a Traveling Cultivator. Could it be that you are a Residential Cultivator?"
"But how did you use that pile of Traveling Cultivator techniques? How many magic treasures are hidden on you? Don't be reluctant to take them out, show them all to me, I, the ancestor, will help you sort out the quality, hehehehe."
Steel needles with silk threads shuttled back and forth in the room, seemingly still searching for Li Li Banfeng's position.
Li Li Banfeng responded: "Stop looking, old thing, I'm not in this room at all. I'm waiting for you outside, let's go out and have a fight."
"Go out?" A hand stretched out from the broken part of the sewing machine's flywheel, picked up the broken flywheel, and checked it carefully for a moment, "Your 'Closing the Door and Shutting the House' boundary line is so powerful, it plucked my flywheel off in one go. If I go out now, wouldn't I lose a layer of skin?"
Li Li Banfeng persuaded: "Not necessarily losing skin, it might also break bones. You try going out first, I'll help you take a good look."
Steel needles with silk threads walked along the wall, as if finding Li Li Banfeng's position from that sentence just now.
Click! Click!
Laughing Xiao Qianshou didn't know what method he used, connected the broken flywheel, connected the broken drive belt, and the sewing machine resumed operation. The needle and thread intertwined, trapping all of Li Li Banfeng's shadows.
Li Banfeng Yi laughed: "Old thief, when did you become a Clothing Cultivator?"
As the words fell, several shadows used 'Walking Through a Thousand Mountains' together, arriving nearby, preparing to dismantle the sewing machine.
"So many shadows know Traveling Cultivator techniques, what kind of magic treasure did you use? Such good things, take them all out and let me see!" The sewing machine suddenly changed its position, from the center of the living room to the stairs. Li Banfeng Ding wanted to chase,
But was wrapped around the ankle by silk threads and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Banfeng Yi dodged the thread ends all over the floor, threw the wine gourd to Li Banfeng Wu: "Burn all the silk threads, control the fire, don't burn the house."
Li Banfeng Wu was about to set fire, but the wine gourd felt the situation was wrong: "Little brother, hold tight!"
Before the words fell, the wine gourd slipped out of his hand. The sewing machine appeared in the kitchen, holding the wine gourd and laughing: "You don't want to burn the house? You really care about Li Li Zhijuan, but this matter is not up to you!"
He wanted to use the wine gourd to set fire, but the wine gourd tightly closed its mouth and didn't spray wine.
The sewing machine praised: "Li Qi, you have trained this magic treasure quite well. In my hands, it wouldn't listen to me for ten days or half a month."
The wine gourd suddenly turned its head and sprayed a flame at the sewing machine: "Old thief, even if it's ten or eight years, this lady won't be manipulated by you!"
This flame didn't burn the sewing machine. Laughing Xiao Qianshou said: "Don't worry, you don't need to wait that long. I'll sell you off as stolen goods."
The wine gourd disappeared, and no one knew where Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian hid her.
The sewing machine flashed again, appearing in the porch: "Li Qi, using this group of shadows to fool your ancestor, you are too arrogant. How many more good things do you have? Let this group of shadows take them all out, I will collect as many as you have!"
Li Banfeng Chou, relying on the Residential Cultivator talent, silently guarded the porch, raised the iron ruler and was about to stab the flywheel, but Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian disappeared.
In a daze, Li Banfeng Chou felt a sharp pain in his finger, and in the blink of an eye, the iron ruler was gone.
"Good boy, you hide quite deep!" Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian smiled proudly, and his figure disappeared again. A group of shadows searched around, but couldn't see his trace.
But the Tang Dao saw some clues.
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian smiled proudly, but this action was actually very hasty, revealing some flaws.
When he took the iron ruler, he used two silk threads, a cyan silk thread wrapped around the iron ruler, and another blue silk thread wrapped around Li Banfeng Chou's finger.
The two silk threads tightened almost at the same time. Li Banfeng Chou's finger was pulled by the blue thread and loosened slightly, and the cyan thread immediately took away the iron ruler.
Scanning around, the Tang Dao didn't find the sewing machine, but found the cyan thread and the blue thread. The two threads were approaching Li Banfeng Yin, wanting to steal the Blood-Containing Pendulum from him.
The Tang Dao followed the two silk threads to find back, aimed at the position where the silk threads disappeared, and slashed down with a knife.
Clatter! Clang!
The Tang Dao cut off the sewing machine's pedal connecting rod.
The pedal fell to the ground with a clang, and the connecting rod was directly taken away by the glove. Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian couldn't repair it even if he wanted to.
"Monkey cub, you dare to steal my things!" Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian was furious when he saw the glove.
"Ancestor, I have followed you for so many years, and you haven't given me any good things. This will be a thin gift to make up for you." When speaking, the glove stood on the blade of the Tang Dao, his fingers trembling a bit, but his body stood very straight.
The sewing machine kept approaching the glove. Laughing Xiao Qianshou wanted to grab this hand back, and he also wanted to grab Li Qi's Traveling Cultivator magic treasures together.
Thinking is easy, but Laughing Xiao Qianshou' situation was a bit difficult.
The pedal couldn't move, the sewing machine lost its power source, and when operating the silk threads, it was obviously not as flexible as before.
The Tang Dao kept tracking the sewing machine, and each position was judged very accurately.
Li Banfeng Yi figured out the pattern, followed the Tang Dao with the shadows, dismantled a screw for a while, dismantled a presser foot for a while, and beat the sewing machine into retreat.
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian felt that this Tang Dao was not easy to deal with, not knowing that the Tang Dao had already slashed three times, and if he persisted for a while,
It would wither.
But Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian didn't want to take risks. He didn't continue to fight on the first floor, his figure flashed, and he went directly to the second floor.
There were two rooms on the second floor, one with some sundries, and the other was Li Li Zhijuan's bedroom.
The first floor was fighting in the dark, Li Li Zhijuan was still sleeping in the room, and she didn't wake up, which showed how weak she had become.
The sewing machine entered Li Li Zhijuan's bedroom, looked at Li Li Zhijuan on the bed, and was about to pull out the silk thread, when a figure emerged from the door, and a 'Stepping Through Wan Chuan' stepped on the sewing machine.
With this step, the sewing machine's main shaft was broken, the frame was loosened, and the machine head was deformed.
Although the injury was serious, Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian still smiled: "Li Qi, you finally appeared! Hehehe!"
With this laugh, all the shadows in the room followed suit, and even Li Li Zhijuan, who was sleeping soundly, revealed a smile in her dream.
Laughing Cultivator technique, 'Universal Celebration'.
Li Banfeng Zi laughed the hardest, and finally caught his breath: "Senior, what are you laughing at?"
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian stopped laughing.
He laughed loudly just now to find an opportunity for a surprise attack.
He thought he was stepped on by Li Qi, and Li Qi must have appeared.
But he didn't find Li Qi's trace, only saw Li Banfeng Zi in front of him, politely calling him Senior.
"Was that step just now stepped on by you?" Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian wasn't so calm anymore.
Li Banfeng Zi said: "The step just now was too heavy, please forgive the junior for being rude."
Stepped on by a shadow, and stepped on so miserably?
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian didn't want to believe it.
Actually, the power of this step wasn't that great. Li Banfeng Zi was a Residential Cultivator expert, didn't know many Traveling Cultivator techniques, and 'Stepping Through Wan Chuan' was just barely passable.
The essence of this step was to attack when unprepared. When Li Banfeng Zi took action, Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian didn't make any defense at all, and took it solidly.
Although the injury wasn't light, Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian could still fight. He bypassed Li Banfeng Zi and flashed to Li Li Zhijuan's side.
The thread spool shook, and the silk threads tied Li Li Zhijuan tightly.
Li Li Zhijuan felt the pain, but still couldn't wake up.
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian shouted: "Li Qi, if you don't appear, I will kill her immediately."
Li Qi didn't respond, Li Banfeng Zi replied: "Confucius said, kill if you want to kill."
The shadows rushed into the second floor one after another, surrounding the sewing machine again.
"Small tricks, you are still showing off!" The sewing machine's flywheel turned, the silk threads were retracted from the first floor to the thread spool, and between the interweaving, all the shadows were cut at the waist.
Li Banfeng Zi fell to the ground and praised: "Good layout."
Li Banfeng Yi also secretly praised. Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian laid out threads on the first floor and retracted threads on the second floor. In one strike, he could cause such precise damage. High-level Clothing Cultivators were no more than this.
The shadows praised one after another:
"Old Man Xiao Qian is powerful, I learned something today."
"Look at others, this is not the craftsmanship of a Thief Cultivator, but he also understands it."
"Old Man Xiao Qian, where did you steal this technique? Did you steal it from someone's house spirit?"
The half-cut shadows on the ground all grew their bodies back and stood up from the ground.
The number of shadows was twice as many as before.
The sewing machine's flywheel fell to the ground, and Laughing Xiao Qianshou couldn't help but ask: "Li Qi, what Dao Sect are you?"
Li Qi didn't speak, and the shadows didn't speak, approaching the sewing machine step by step.
The sewing machine dragged Li Li Zhijuan with silk threads, seemingly intending to keep a hostage. Its figure arrived at the bedroom door, and the shadows also chased to the bedroom door.
Li Banfeng Yin looked back and saw an old man, around seventy, thin, with thin eyebrows and eyes, thin lips and sharp teeth, hunched over, jumping to the window.
Tricked!
The one flashing to the door was the sewing machine, but Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian was no longer in the sewing machine.
"Li Qi, good ability, we will meet again."
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian jumped out of the window.
Li Banfeng Yi used 'Breaking the Path' to chase forward, but the sewing machine was still working, the silk threads were getting denser and denser, and the newly opened path was covered in the blink of an eye.
Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian landed steadily on the ground, first looking at both sides of the street. He was guarding against Li Qi having an ambush on the street.
On the street, even if he met Li Qi in person, as long as he was prepared in advance, Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian had the confidence to escape.
He could still fight, and a group of shadows couldn't subdue Laughing Xiao Qianshou.
But Laughing Xiao Qianshou didn't want to fight anymore. After tossing and turning in Li Li Zhijuan's house for so long, he didn't even see Li Qi himself. If he continued to fight, he definitely wouldn't take much advantage.
Actually, he had already taken quite a bit of advantage before.
In the process of fighting, he stole a silver dollar, a sickle, a wine gourd, and an iron ruler.
The sickle and wine gourd were rare magic treasures, the silver dollar was a spiritual object with not bad combat power, and even the worst iron ruler was a rare good weapon.
With such a harvest, this trip could be considered profitable. Since a thief had made a profit, there was no reason to continue to entangle.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou was about to take a step forward, but felt something wrong under his feet.
The ground shouldn't be so flat..
The houses on both sides of the road gradually dimmed, until they completely disappeared, and clusters of candlelight appeared in front of his eyes.
This is an illusion!
This is not the street of Iron Gate Fortress, this is a room!
Jumping out of Li Li Zhijuan's window, how could he jump into someone else's room?
Who made the illusion, so realistic?
The projector closed the lens cover and hid behind the phonograph.
A woman put down the rouge in her hand, raised her head, and looked into the mirror.
The mirror presented a face, with a metallic luster on the forehead and round cheeks hanging under the cheekbones.
"Laughing Old Man Xiao Qian, recognize me?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou didn't recognize the appearance, but recognized the voice.
His figure flashed to the corner of the room, trying his best to distance himself from Xiang Xiang Hongying.
Gu Niu~
A room door next to him was pushed open, and Jiu'er walked out from the third room.
"Laughing Old Senior, long time no see."
"Jade not carved..." Laughing Xiao Qianshou couldn't understand why Xiang Xiang Hongying would be with Jade Not Carved, and couldn't understand where he was.
The phonograph's needle was placed on the record, and accompanied by the spray of steam, a sweet voice floated out from the speaker: "Eating from both ends, the highest bidder gets it. Laughing Xiao Qianshou, did you run to my house to do business?"
"Zhao Zhao Xiaowan!" Laughing Xiao Qianshou was terrified, looking for the exit of the room everywhere.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou turned the ring on his hand, preparing to gamble once.
Gu Niu~
The big door opened by itself.
Such a good thing?
Laughing Xiao Qianshou was about to rush out of the door, when he saw Li Qi walk in.
"Hehehe~" Li Qi brought a kind smile, entered the Personal Residence, and closed the door.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou asked: "What place is this?"
"This is my house," Li Li Banfeng pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit."
Laughing Xiao Qianshou shook his head: "Not sitting, just standing and looking. You used 'Connecting the Cave Chamber'!"
Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Good eye!"
"You connected Li Li Zhijuan's house and your own house?"
"That's right, you old thief have quite a bit of knowledge."
The last point of the 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' secret technique, Jiang Linger said, must be practiced in someone else's mansion.
And now Li Li Banfeng had succeeded.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou jumped out of the window, but he could never have imagined that Li Li Zhijuan's window was connected to Li Qi's house.
Before jumping out of the window, he specifically looked outside the window, but who would have thought that the scenery outside the window was an illusion created by the projector. This illusion had put in quite a bit of effort, and there was also the help of the Fifth Girl on the side.
Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, Xiang Xiang Hongying, Jade Not Carved, Laughing Xiao Qianshou knew the combat power of these three people. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, wanting to beat any one of them was by no means an easy task.
Not to mention Li Qi was still in his own mansion. The combat power of a Residential Cultivator in a mansion was a large section higher than a cultivator of the same level!
Seeing this situation, Laughing Xiao Qianshou could only use his backup plan. He still left a hand at the cinema.
As long as he could contact that backup, even if his body was folded here, his soul could fly over.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou sent out an induction, but couldn't receive any response.
Some techniques were isolated by the mansion, so he had to find a breakthrough.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou sat on the chair, looked at Li Qi and said: "Can we talk about the price?"
"Yes," Li Li Banfeng was very tolerant, and even poured a cup of tea for Laughing Xiao Qianshou, "Return everything you stole from me first."
Laughing Xiao Qianshou pulled a bundle from his sleeve, shook it, and the sickle, wine gourd, silver dollar, and iron ruler all fell out.
He even specifically explained the function of this bundle to Li Li Banfeng: "This is my personal object, which can store quite a few good things, but later it was taken away by He He Jiaqing."
"It was because I lost this bundle that I took an earring from you back then. The earring reported to you in secret, and I suffered a loss instead."
"Later I found a craftsman to make another one. This bundle doesn't make a sound. If I didn't take it out actively, you wouldn't be able to find it in your life."
Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Is this asking for a favor from me?"
"Doesn't this count as a favor?" Laughing Xiao Qianshou put away the bundle. He wasn't asking for a favor, he was dragging out time.
Li Li Banfeng said: "Using these things to exchange for your life is still a bit short. Tell me first, why did you come to Iron Gate Fortress?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou sighed: "Where to come was not decided by me. There is one thing you might have heard of. He He Jiaqing and the Bitter Ku Pozi beat me into a cripple. I only had one breath left, and hid on a cub of the Ghost Hand Sect."
"That cub came to Iron Gate Fortress two days ago. I saw this place was not bad, so I came out from him to wander around."
"You passed by the Residential Cultivator Li Li Zhijuan's door, and happened to stay in her house to recover your vitality."
"Her house spirit died? This matter was so coincidental, and you happened to catch up with it?" Li Li Banfeng expressed doubt about this.
Laughing Xiao Qianshou said: "This matter was really so coincidental. Could I still take action against an elderly house spirit?"
"And he only had Earth Skin cultivation."
Li Li Banfeng felt that this matter was done by Laughing Xiao Qianshou: "If her house spirit wasn't killed by you, where did your Clothing Cultivator technique come from?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou said: "That's because I originally knew Clothing Cultivator techniques. You don't look at the means I used, which one is something an Earth Skin cultivator can master?"
The phonograph sprayed a cloud of steam: "There is a technique in the Thief Cultivator sect called 'Sesame Blossoming', which talks about starting low and ending high."
"You once stole techniques from an Earth Skin Alcohol Cultivator, and used Above the Clouds means, making hundreds of guards drunk, stole more than twenty pieces of military equipment from Shu Wanjuan's hands, and sold them to Cong Cong Shixiang. You haven't forgotten this, have you?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou sighed: "General Zhao, I didn't expect you to remember these old accounts. It seems I can't explain this grievance clearly. I really didn't intend to harm Li Li Zhijuan's house spirit, and I didn't intend to harm Li Li Zhijuan's life."
"Li Li Zhijuan, apart from being a bit sleepy, didn't suffer much damage."
Laughing Xiao Qianshou had a sense of proportion. He could now determine that Li Qi was the Fortress Master of Iron Gate Fortress. He told the truth about everything related to He He Jiaqing. Even if Li Qi verified it himself, he wouldn't see any flaws.
Anything that destroyed Iron Gate Fortress could not be said. Once Li Qi was angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Li Banfeng said: "Besides Li Li Zhijuan, have you harmed anyone else?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou shook his head: "Absolutely not, just Li Li Zhijuan."
This old thief might not be telling the truth. Li Li Banfeng still had to verify it house by house.
Even if what he said was true, this matter was very dangerous. If Li Li Banfeng hadn't come to Iron Gate Fortress, Laughing Xiao Qianshou would have parasitized house by house.
Iron Gate Fortress was located in a remote place, the terrain was closed, and Residential Cultivators didn't interact with others, which was just a good place for Laughing Xiao Qianshou to recuperate.
If it wasn't for Li Li Banfeng sensing this danger through 'Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Evil', Iron Gate Fortress didn't know how many people would die, and Laughing Xiao Qianshou didn't know to what extent he would recover.
After the lingering fear, Li Li Banfeng asked again: "Does He He Jiaqing know about this?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou shook his head: "How could I let He He Jiaqing know? I am the same as you, I have a deep hatred for him."
Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Then why did you take him as a disciple?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou sighed: "Reasonably speaking, I shouldn't have taken such a junior, just because someone recommended him."
Li Li Banfeng thought about it: "Was it recommended by the Bitter Ku Pozi?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou shook his head: "You got that backwards. When He He Jiaqing became my disciple, he didn't know the Bitter Ku Pozi yet, and it was precisely because he became my disciple that the Bitter Ku Pozi valued him so much."
"He He Jiaqing got Thief Cultivator powder at ten, entered the Ghost Hand Sect at eleven. With his status, he didn't need to work on the street, just let his family spend some money, and he could deal with the errand."
"But this kid wanted to be strong, every time he worked, he rushed to the front, and never missed."
"At that time, the young gang leader Lu Lu Wujiu in the gang appreciated He He Jiaqing, so he recommended him to the old gang leader Xie Xie Juncong."
"Xie Xie Juncong took a sum of silver from He He Jiaqing and taught He He Jiaqing quite a few skills. In the year he was thirteen, he met me."
The glove climbed onto Li Li Banfeng's shoulder and asked: "The young gang leader surnamed Lu you mentioned, why don't I have any impression at all?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou scraped the tea bowl: "You definitely don't have an impression, because you are Lu Lu Wujiu."
"Nonsense! I can't forget my own name?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou smiled slightly: "You definitely forgot, because everyone who made a hand for me will forget their own name. Your names were all stolen by me."
The glove was confused. He tried his best to control every finger, not letting himself tremble. At this time, he couldn't lose face for the master.
"I didn't," the glove said to Li Li Banfeng, "Master, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing, I couldn't possibly recommend He He Jiaqing."
Li Li Banfeng patted the glove, signaling him not to worry.
Whether this matter was true or false, Li Li Banfeng wouldn't blame the glove. From the standpoint at that time, the glove didn't do anything wrong.
He then asked Laughing Xiao Qianshou: "Everyone who became your disciple became your hand, but why did He He Jiaqing escape? Was it because you loved talent?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou said very sincerely: "I love talent. In my opinion, He He Jiaqing was such a good talent, he should have been one of my hands."
"It's a pity, when he first entered, his cultivation was not enough. I wanted him to be my hand, but he wasn't qualified enough."
"By the time his cultivation was enough, he knew the Eighteen Wheels and the Bitter Ku Pozi. I wanted him to be my hand, but these people wouldn't agree. I wanted to take action secretly, but He He Jiaqing's vigilance was extremely high, and I couldn't find an opportunity."
"By the time I found an opportunity, this kid ran to the Outer Continent to study. You say, is this matter coincidental?"
"Anything else to ask, I know everything."
Li Li Banfeng had many things to ask, but a voice came from his ear from the Personal Residence: "A Qi,"
"Hurry, he is about to find a loophole."
The Personal Residence couldn't hold Laughing Xiao Qianshou anymore.
Li Li Banfeng asked his family: "Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou said: "Old friends, feel free to ask if you have anything."
The family members all looked at the phonograph.
Hu Wei~
The phonograph said: "The things you did, I'm afraid three days and three nights wouldn't be enough to finish, but we have quite a few things here, so let's stop here."
Laughing Xiao Qianshou felt something was wrong. He put the teacup on the table, stood up and said: "I am an ancestor of a sect. If we talk about it, I am your elder. If it weren't for the serious injury that hasn't recovered, I wouldn't have fallen into your hands today. Treating me like this, if it spreads out, I'm afraid it won't conform to the rules of Puluo Continent."
Hu Wei~
The phonograph laughed: "Did you hear that? Laughing Old Senior is talking to us about rules. After staying at home for so long, we didn't even treat you to a meal. Xue Yingying, set up the table and invite the guest to take a seat!"
PS: If the soul of Laughing Xiao Qianshou is eaten, the Wife might really get fat! ===== CHAPTER 760 =====
Li Li Banfeng asked his family: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Laughing Xiao Qianshou said: "Old friends, feel free to speak if you have anything to ask."
The family all looked at the record player.
Hiss~
The record player said: "The things you've done would probably take three days and three nights to finish telling, but we have plenty of things to do here, so let's just leave it at that."
Laughing Xiao Qianshou knew something was wrong. He placed his teacup on the table, stood up, and said: "I am a sect founder; logically speaking, I am your elder. If it weren't for the fact that I was severely injured and haven't recovered, I wouldn't have fallen into your hands today. Treating me like this now, I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the rules of Puluo Province if it gets out."
Hiss~
The record player laughed: "Did you all hear that? Old Senior Laughing is telling us about the rules. You've been home for so long, and we haven't even treated you to a meal. Xue Yingying, set up the table and invite the honored guest to take a seat!"
PS: If the wife eats Laughing Xiao Qianshou' soul, she'll really get fat!
