Chapter 95

Outer Gully, Zhushan.

Li Li Banfeng, wearing a top hat and a big mustache, squatted in the bamboo forest, silently watching a piece of open space in front.

This open space was piled with thick dust, no grass grew, and apart from that, there seemed to be nothing special.

A butterfly flew toward the open space, and when it reached the central area, it suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

A rabbit jumped to the open space, jumped forward twice, and turned into a piece of smoke in mid-air, drifting away with the wind.

A bamboo leaf flew over the open space with the wind and also turned into smoke.

A mosquito hummed and sang, and was driven over the open space by Li Li Banfeng, also turning into a small group of smoke.

Li Li Banfeng folded a paper airplane and threw it across the border line, which also turned into smoke.

He picked up a stone and threw it over, and it also turned into smoke.

A dark cloud passed by, and a few raindrops fell.

There was a banging sound on the border line, and even the raindrops falling on the border line would evaporate quickly.

Zhushan is on the border between Medicine King Gully and Green Water Bay.

If you take a train, you must first go to Green Water Bay, then to Pants Pocket Ridge, and then to Medicine King Gully.

But in terms of actual geographical location, Medicine King Gully, Pants Pocket Ridge, and Green Water Bay are adjacent to each other and all have borders, but the border between Green Water Bay and Medicine King Gully is very remote.

Why go to Green Water Bay?

Why not go to Pants Pocket Ridge?

This is thanks to Li Li Banfeng reading quite a few newspapers recently.

Pants Pocket Ridge is also a town, a town less than half the size of Medicine King Gully.

Not only is the place small, but the environment of Pants Pocket Ridge is very special.

In Medicine King Gully, there are more medicine cultivators, but there are also many cultivators of other sects.

But those who live in Pants Pocket Ridge are generally two types of people: one is joy cultivators, and the other is the partners of joy cultivators.

Li Li Banfeng, an outsider, going to Pants Pocket Ridge to find fun for a few days is normal, but if he stays for a long time, he will inevitably attract attention.

The situation in Green Water Bay is quite different.

Here is the largest city in Puluo Continent, Green Water City!

And a large area of villages and towns outside the city.

The area and population of Green Water Bay are larger and more numerous than Medicine King Gully, Pants Pocket Ridge, Sea-Eating Ridge, and surrounding towns combined. Such a place is more suitable for hiding in Li Li Banfeng's view.

Of course, is there no risk in Green Water Bay?

Yes, the foundations of the four major families are all in Green Water Bay. Once you enter Green Water City, it's like shaking under their noses.

But precisely because the four major families are all there, Li Li Banfeng is certain that the Lu family will not have big moves in Green Water City. There are some things they definitely don't want the He family to know, and even less do they want the four major families to know.

But is Green Water Bay so easy to go to?

Li Li Banfeng walked along the border line for a whole day, and the current situation is not optimistic.

There is a line between Medicine King Gully and Green Water Bay, an invisible border line. Anything larger than a speck of dust on the ground cannot cross this boundary.

A man, wearing a white shirt, followed by a crane two heads taller than a person.

The man looked at Li Li Banfeng squatting in the bamboo forest and sneered: "After all, a mortal."

Li Li Banfeng was surprised: "Aren't you a mortal?"

The man sneered: "I have been cultivating in seclusion for twenty years and have already obtained the immortal fate. How can I be compared to mortals like you? Do you want to cross the border? I can give you a ride!"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Immortal, please go first, I will observe from the side."

The man sat on the back of the crane, and the crane let out a long cry and soared into the sky.

What kind of sect is this?

This man's cultivation is not low!

Li Li Banfeng has seen people riding horses, donkeys, and camels, but this is the first time he has seen someone riding a crane.

While hovering in the air, the person riding the crane spoke: "Master, this person is too ignorant of what is good for him."

The crane spoke: "A person with mortal eyes, let him gain some knowledge."

Huh?

Li Li Banfeng looked up at the crane for a long time.

Did I see it wrong or hear it wrong?

Which one of you is the master?

Is the crane the master?

Then you still dare to ride the master?

The crane hovered in mid-air for a long time, and the estimated flight altitude was fifty or sixty meters.

It let out a long whistle and rushed toward the border line with the man. The man held a long flute and played music that Li Li Banfeng couldn't understand.

Li Li Banfeng took out the gold earrings, preparing to carefully distinguish the style of the tune.

At the moment of passing the border line, the flute sound stopped abruptly.

The immortal and the crane turned into flying ashes together, and not even the flute remained.

This thing is not spiritual!

What should I do?

Cultivating in seclusion for twenty years, and still couldn't fly over, how can I break through?

Enter the Portable Abode first, and then throw the key over?

Can the key withstand the destruction of the border line?

Li Li Banfeng thinks not.

If the key turns into ashes, can he still come out of the Portable Abode?

Li Li Banfeng thinks not.

Li Li Banfeng had considered going to the train station before, hiding the key in a passenger's suitcase, and then sneaking onto the train.

The idea was good, but it was not operable.

Because the Lu family would inevitably set up defenses at the train station, heavy defenses, just like when Chu Chu Yunlong ambushed Li Li Banfeng near the station, but the Lu family had accurate news and would definitely send experts, so Li Li Banfeng would inevitably be caught when entering the station.

Even if he successfully sneaked into the train station and put the key into a passenger's suitcase, the subsequent problems were also not easy to handle.

Li Li Banfeng didn't know when to walk out of the Portable Abode.

He didn't know when this passenger would get off the train.

Don't compare it with the train schedule; steam trains don't have such good punctuality.

If Li Li Banfeng came out early, the passenger hadn't gotten off the train yet, and Li Li Banfeng had no road permit and no train ticket, encountering that powerful conductor, it's hard to say what the consequences would be. A slight carelessness might cost him his life.

If Li Li Banfeng came out late, the passenger had already arrived home, packed up the luggage, and found this key of unknown origin, how should it be dealt with?

It would be fine if he threw the key away. If he was an expert, and handed the key to the Lu family or the Jiang Xiang Society, how should he deal with it?

If this passenger went to the Outer Gully and handed the key directly to the Dark Star Bureau, how should Li Li Banfeng come out?

Going to the station is not feasible, but under the current situation, breaking through the border line is also not feasible.

Xiao Yeci said that there are checkpoints on the border between the two places. Li Li Banfeng thought about it repeatedly and could only mix through the checkpoint.

But where is the checkpoint?

There is no mark of the checkpoint's location on the map Shopkeeper Feng sold him.

Go to the village at the foot of the mountain to inquire?

Li Li Banfeng has been struggling with entering the village.

Entering the village is very likely to attract others' attention and even expose his identity.

But bumping into the border line all the time is not a solution either. At least he must know the general direction of the checkpoint.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Li Banfeng decided to take a trip to the village. The Lu family hadn't chased here yet. Instead of wasting time, it's better to figure it out as soon as possible.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Li Li Banfeng didn't see any signs like road signs or stone tablets.

This mountain is called Zhushan, so is this village called Bamboo Village?

Bamboo Village?

This place seems to have been mentioned by someone.

Entering the village, Li Li Banfeng didn't intend to ask for directions directly, as that would be too easy to arouse suspicion. He planned to buy some food first.

People in the village hadn't seen many outsiders. Seeing Li Li Banfeng enter the village, the farmers farming in the fields, the women doing housework, and the children playing on the roadside all stopped what they were doing and looked straight at Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng was very nervous.

Why are they looking at me?

Are they going to rob me?

Li Li Banfeng didn't dare to walk deep into the village and wanted to find someone nearby to start a conversation and ask about the road checkpoint.

Seeing an old lady cooking, Li Li Banfeng stepped forward and greeted: "Auntie, I want to buy some food."

The old lady was a bit hard of hearing and was somewhat afraid when she saw Li Li Banfeng, unable to understand what Li Li Banfeng was saying for a while.

Li Li Banfeng took out a 50-yuan note, and this time the old lady was not so nervous.

She packed five bamboo tube rice for Li Li Banfeng, and also took a jar of pickled fish and a jar of sweet potato wine.

This aunt is an honest person. Li Li Banfeng felt she gave too much and was about to take out more money, taking the opportunity to chat about the road checkpoint, when he saw the old lady looking panicked and running back into the house quickly.

She was not afraid of Li Li Banfeng; she was afraid of the person behind Li Li Banfeng.

A man stood behind Li Li Banfeng, a man wearing a patrol uniform.

The patrolman stared at Li Li Banfeng and looked him up and down, asking: "Where are you from?"

Li Li Banfeng put down the wine and food in his hand, and answered naturally: "From the Inner Gully."

The reason for putting down the things was to facilitate pulling out the knife and gun.

The patrolman continued to ask: "What are you doing here from the Inner Gully?"

"Visiting a relative." Li Li Banfeng answered calmly again.

"Visiting which relative?" The patrolman pursued relentlessly.

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Do I have to ask this too?"

"Can't I ask?" The patrolman sneered, "I've been watching you since you went up the mountain. You've been circling around the border line, are you trying to smuggle?

If you can say which relative you are visiting today, I will take you there myself. There is no one in this village I don't know.

If you can't say it, come with me to the patrol station immediately."

Li Li Banfeng naturally wouldn't go to the patrol station. His identity couldn't be explained clearly, and it would be even more troublesome if it were explained clearly.

While they were deadlocked, a woman shouted: "You heartless thing, you said you would arrive yesterday, why are you only here now?"

Li Li Banfeng was startled, looked back, and saw a woman wearing a cheongsam walking up and grabbing Li Li Banfeng's arm.

"Officer Wu, this is my brother from the Inner Gully, he came to see me today."

"Brother?" This patrolman surnamed Wu looked the woman up and down and said with a smile.

"Is it a biological brother or a dry brother?"

The woman smiled: "Biological brother, dry brother, aren't they both brothers?"

The patrolman sneered: "That's not the same. A biological brother is born from the same mother, and a dry brother is slept out of the same quilt."

"Look at what you said." The woman laughed and dealt with it, and this patrolman didn't want to ask any more questions.

He looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "Young man, you are lucky. Just be your dry brother honestly here, save your strength for the quilt, and don't go out and wander around blindly."

The patrolman left, and the woman pulled Li Li Banfeng and walked quickly to the depths of the village. After arriving at a bamboo building, the woman smiled: "Brother Bai Sha, why are you here?"

Bai Sha?

Li Li Banfeng stared at the woman for a long time, only feeling familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her.

The woman turned around, turned her back to Li Li Banfeng, and looked back with a smile.

Li Li Banfeng looked from top to bottom, and exclaimed: "Peach!"

The fog on Bitter Wushan was heavy, and the face couldn't be seen clearly. Li Li Banfeng didn't have a deep impression of her appearance, but the shape of the peach would not be forgotten.

The woman smiled bitterly: "We met once, and you only remembered a peach. It would be better if you remembered an oil peach."

Oil peach.

You You Xuetao.

She had received Li Li Banfeng's favor on Bitter Wushan. She said she lived in Bamboo Village. No wonder Li Li Banfeng felt the place name was familiar.

"Come, sit in my house." You You Xuetao led Li Li Banfeng into the bamboo building. Li Li Banfeng hesitated somewhat, not wanting to enter.

You You Xuetao is a joy cultivator. She said herself that her partner is a residential cultivator. Li Li Banfeng didn't want to enter a residential cultivator's house.

You You Xuetao pulled Li Li Banfeng again: "Don't you trust me? Hurry up, Wu Jinming is suspicious, and he might come back."

Wu Jinming, refers to the patrolman just now.

Li Li Banfeng was pulled into the bamboo building by You You Xuetao. The bamboo building has two floors. The first floor is very spacious. In the center of the room is a tea table and two chairs. Against the wall are a bowl rack, a clothes rack, and a standing cabinet.

The furnishings are simple, but the room is very tidy, which is very consistent with the temperament of a residential cultivator.

"Brother Bai Sha, what are you doing in Bamboo Village?" You You Xuetao poured a cup of tea for Li Li Banfeng.

"Nothing to do, came out to wander." Li Li Banfeng didn't drink the tea. When going down the mountain, his shoes were stained with some silt. He deliberately knocked it on the ground. The silt that fell on the ground disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There is a house spirit in this room.

"Came to Bamboo Village to wander?" You You Xuetao was stunned. This is not a good place for tourism. "Brother, tell your sister the truth, are you here to smuggle?"

Li Li Banfeng was thinking about how to answer when he heard someone coughing constantly upstairs.

Cough cough~

Listening to the voice, it was a woman.

You You Xuetao frowned and shouted upstairs: "Don't worry, this is my friend!"

Li Li Banfeng knew in his heart that this residential cultivator obviously didn't welcome him.

This is also normal. Residential cultivators don't like strangers entering their homes.

Li Li Banfeng stood up and said: "Thank you for helping me out just now, it's getting late, I'll go first."

You You Xuetao stood up and stopped Li Li Banfeng: "Where are you going? I tell you, the border line can't be broken into, you'll lose your life."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time and said to You You Xuetao: "I didn't break in, I have a friend who wants to cross the border, do you know where the road checkpoint is?"

"Road checkpoint?" You You Xuetao thought for a moment and said: "The one you are talking about is yesterday's, or today's?"

Yesterday's or today's?

How many road checkpoints are there?
