Lord of Puluo

Chapter 39 A wind rises from the plains

Li Banfeng had a sweet dream one night. In his dream, there was always a goose feather tickling his ear.

After leaving the home, he found that it was noon again, and Li Banfeng realized that he must have a timing tool.

When I return to Yuezhou, these things are easy to talk about and can be solved with a mobile phone.

It was getting late, and I didn’t know if I could still buy a ticket.

Li Banfeng stepped out of his home and walked a few hundred meters on the street when he suddenly felt a strange reaction in his body.

Li Banfeng couldn't tell what his reaction was.

He searched the streets for vehicles, whether they were carriages or foreign cars, any car would be fine.

While scanning, he noticed that pedestrians around him were looking at him from time to time.

See what I do?

A suit and leather shoes, paired with a top hat, I look very decent today!

The pedestrians didn't mean any harm, they were just curious.

It's weird, how do I know they don't mean any harm?

Why are there so many strange reactions today?

The passers-by did not mean any harm. What they saw was not Li Banfeng's clothes but his unusual speed.

He didn't run, he just walked, with his hands in his pockets, walking casually down the street.

But his feet were moving his body forward rapidly in a trajectory that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. By the time Li Banfeng noticed something strange, he had already reached the end of the street.

I didn't want to leave so fast...

Looking at the rapidly retreating houses on both sides of the street, Li Banfeng tried his best to restrain his steps.

He did not take the initiative to exert force, nor did he feel any fatigue.

And these legs seem to be equipped with motors. They can't stop without applying the brakes.

It was difficult to control even if he stepped on the brakes. Li Banfeng could stand still, but as long as he took a step forward, he seemed to be rushing forward at a speed of twenty miles.

This is not good, why can’t I even walk normally?

Is this caused by the poisonous fog in Bitter Mist Mountain?

Is this a temporary symptom or irreversible damage?

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Li Banfeng still reached the edge of the ditch in a short time.

He originally wanted to find a quiet place to control his legs and feet. When he passed a big banyan tree, a rickshaw under the tree attracted his attention.

First, take a rickshaw to the train station, buy a ticket, get on the train, enter your home, and then train your legs and feet.

While thinking about it, his legs did not stop and he walked several dozen meters. Li Banfeng backed up and came to the coachman. He stopped with difficulty and asked, How much does it cost to go to the train station?

The coachman took a puff of dry cigarette, raised his head, looked at Li Banfeng and said with a smile: You want to go to the station, do you still need to take a car?

Li Banfeng stared at the coachman for a moment.

He knew this coachman, Monkey Qiu had hired him, and he was a coachman with a steam wheel.

It was he who pulled Li Banfeng from the station to the place where the peddler was, for which Hou Qiu paid a full five hundred fare.

The coachman was right. The station was not far from Ligou. With Li Banfeng's speed, he could reach it in the blink of an eye.

But Li Banfeng didn't know the way.

The coachman stood up and pointed to the loess road in front of him: Go north along this road for three and a half miles, turn east, walk two miles, then go north, less than one mile, there is a fork, walk another two miles. Just arrived at the train station.”

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, It's too troublesome, so we'd better take a car.

The coachman held a cigarette in his mouth and said, What's the trouble? You've already reached the first level of the Travel Department and you can't find the way?

really.

This weird speed is not caused by the poisonous mist of Bitter Mist Mountain, it is caused by the higher level of traveling cultivators.

Why did travel training reach a higher level?

Because Li Banfeng stayed in a dangerous place for a day and a night.

While on the bitter mist mountain, he was so dizzy from being choked by the poisonous mist that Li Banfeng forgot the salesman's instructions.

Staying in a dangerous place for a day and a night requires traveling to a higher level.

Kuwu Mountain is a dangerous place, which means that Li Banfeng passed the test of traveling cultivator and became a first-level cultivator.

It’s a good thing that your travel training has reached a higher level.

But don't go up too fast, otherwise you will get backlash from the home repairman.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. You can't get out of the house spirit while living in the house, and you can't go up the level of the house cultivator. In the future, the house cultivator will inevitably be suppressed by the traveling cultivator. All Li Banfeng can do is to control the gap between the two sides.

Why didn't you feel anything yesterday? Li Banfeng muttered to himself.

The coachman asked: When did you pass the first level?

I spent time in Kuwu Mountain the day before yesterday. Li Banfeng answered truthfully.

The coachman smiled and said: I passed the test the day before yesterday and went up to the next level today. It's pretty fast. Most people have to wait for three to five days. Little brother, you are lucky. Hurry to the station.

Li Banfeng said to the coachman: I'm too lazy to walk. Since you are pulling a coach here, why don't you do business if you have business?

The driver was stunned for a moment: You have to take my car? Do you know the price of my car? Other people's cars cost eight yuan, but I have to charge you two hundred.

Two hundred, I'll give it! Li Banfeng took out two hundred bills and gave them to the driver.

Li Banfeng felt a certain sense of intimacy with this coachman, and he firmly believed that he gave him the right two hundred yuan.

The driver touched the lines on the banknotes and said with a smile: Okay, I can tell you that my car will be there in the blink of an eye.

new

Can you walk slower? Li Banfeng made a seemingly unreasonable request.

The driver understood what Li Banfeng meant: It's okay to go slower, but the slower you go, the higher the price will be. Five hundred yuan, just two words of walking, do you agree?

The two words refer to the two numbers on the dial, which means ten minutes of walking.

Li Banfeng nodded: Promise.

The driver sighed: The fat is in your mouth. It's okay if you don't eat it. Get in the car.

Li Banfeng got on the foreign cart, and the driver pulled the cart and walked north carelessly.

Li Banfeng asked: What level of traveling cultivator are you at?

He saw that the driver was a traveling repairman. The first time he rode in his car, the driver had already demonstrated his ability as a traveling repairman. However, Li Banfeng didn't know the concept of traveling repairman at that time.

The coachman did not answer: For five hundred yuan, you just want to ask me about my cultivation. Do you think it's appropriate? These two words go by very quickly. Please ask me something else.

Do traveling cultivators usually walk so fast?

Do you think I'm walking fast? As he spoke, the coachman walked forward step by step, at the same speed as a normal person.

But why am I walking so fast?

The coachman explained: The way you moved just now caused the wind to rise on the flat ground. This is the skill of a first-level travel practitioner.

For those who have just reached a higher level of travel practice, they will not be able to tighten their feet. They need to practice for a few more days before they can move and relax freely.

How to practice?

The driver pointed to a pressurized water well on the street: Have you ever used a pressurized water well? In the past, walking was like waving your arms to press water. Now you have to restrain your strength. The water that comes out is thinner than a hemp rope. Only in this way can we walk like normal people.”

Thinner than a hemp rope?

This is not easy to handle.

There is a trick, start with the first strength from the big crotch, move forward slowly one by one, then collect the second strength from the kneecap, and follow the hip bone forward.

Next is the ankle, and then the toes, one by one. As long as you have enough understanding, you can get a rough idea in one day.

Li Banfeng gave a wry smile: When you reach a higher level, do you have to learn to walk again?

Don't think it's troublesome. It won't go smoothly at first, and you'll have to fall down a few times. Once you learn the tricks, you can walk sixty or seventy miles in an hour. It won't be a problem.

With this speed, basic practice of twenty miles a day can be completed in less than half an hour.

But the problem is...

Is it enough to walk twenty miles a day for a first-level travel training?

Not enough! The coachman shook his head repeatedly. If we travel in an ordinary place, it would be at least fifty miles a day.

Fifty miles?

It's not a big problem either.

What is an ordinary place?

The streets and alleys are ordinary places.

What's unusual?

Go up the mountain. The steeper the mountain, the better. You can also go into the water. The deeper the better. There is a muddy swamp in Lanqing Village. You can walk out of it for two miles. This day's practice is enough.

There is Daogei Ridge in Yangcha Mountain. If you walk one mile on the mountain ridge, you will not only have enough time for practice, but you can also save a day.

The essence of travel cultivation lies in this dangerous place. The more dangerous the place, the faster your cultivation will improve.

Li Banfeng was very impressed: On Kuwu Mountain, your cultivation level has improved very quickly, right?

The driver looked back and said, Have you been to Kuwu Mountain? Did you go to collect snake-flowered chrysanthemums?

Li Banfeng did not deny it.

The coachman shook his head and said: I advise you to go less to that place. It's scattered up and down the mountain. You have no idea how many people lost their lives on that mountain.

Being able to come back alive is because you have a good life. Your life is indeed good. You can get through it even if the sun shines on you. If you have a good life, you should cherish your life. It is not worth losing such a good life for a few dollars.

The reason for going to Kuwu Mountain is to make money. Money is not easy to make after all. Li Banfeng felt deeply about this.

The driver shook his head and smiled: There are many profitable jobs, and pulling carts is a good job. Last time I took on your urgent job, I made five hundred in one trip. Today I took on your job again and made another five hundred. ,

I heard that this year, all the major drug stores are selling snake chrysanthemums for only 25 yuan a plant. Tell me yourself, who makes more money?

According to what he said, it is indeed better to earn more money by pulling a car.

The driver smiled and said: You look down on this profession and think pulling a cart is embarrassing. I also look down on you life-hungry people and think your lives are cheap.

Li Banfeng stopped arguing with the coachman about his career, and instead asked, How should I find a suitable place to practice? Even if it is a bit dangerous, is it not too dangerous?

The coachman replied briefly: Dangerous places should be traveled within your capabilities, and dangerous people should be kept at a respectful distance. Kuwu Mountain is both a dangerous place and full of dangerous people. You should not go to this kind of place!

“How do I tell the difference between a dangerous place and a dangerous person?”

Traveler cultivators can sense danger. This is called pursuing good fortune and avoiding disasters. This is also a technique only available to first-level travel cultivators. It can not only see dangerous places, but also dangerous people.

Li Banfeng's eyes lit up: A first-level traveling cultivator has two techniques?
