Chapter 199 New Land and Old Land
Heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the fire in the warehouse.
The damage to the warehouse was considerable.
Li Banfeng looked at Zuo Wugang's injuries, and Zuo Wugang waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, I have a way to remove the poison, but the birdmen from Tieyang Mountain are coming again tonight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand them."
"There's no need to carry it. I'm here and the God of the Earth is taking care of me. You just mentioned Tieyang Mountain. What's their origin?"
"The bandit in the old land is called Rong Yeguang. I used to hear that he was a sixth-level physical practitioner. I don't dare to say what level he is now. Even Du Shuping, a birdman, is already at the sixth level."
"Sixth level? Become a bandit?" Li Banfeng didn't quite understand what he should do if he was on the sixth level.
"The old land is different. It's a good place to make a fortune."
"What kind of place is the old land?"
"What can I say about this? It's not much different from Xindi. In short, it's a place with few people. You can make money in a place with few people, but the method of making money is different from Xindi. He just..."
Zuo Wugang's ability to express himself was limited, and he couldn't last long after being poisoned.
Li Banfeng asked him to go back and rest first. He went to the edge of the new land, dragged the half-dead Wang Qi and Du Shuping into his residence.
"Hey, sir, you're back from shopping for groceries!" The record player was very excited, and tears of emotion were shed on the trumpet.
"What are you buying groceries for?" Du Shuping looked at the record player in surprise. He didn't know where this place was or where the record player came from.
"Don't worry about grocery shopping," Li Banfeng comforted Du Shuping, "Tell me first, who asked you to come and cause trouble on my property?"
Before Du Shuping could speak, Wang Qi spoke first: "Little brother, you are a virtuous person. If you ask us this matter, we shouldn't say it.
But we have fallen into your hands, and we want to find another way out. If we tell the truth, can you let us go? "
Li Banfeng sat in front of the two of them and said with a serious expression, "That depends on whether you are sincere or not."
Wang Qi nodded sincerely and talked about their origins: "We are heroes from Tieyang Mountain. We came here to team up with Da Chanqian, the new kiln owner, on the orders of our big ladle master Rong Yeguang. Come and smash the kiln on your land."
Li Banfeng kicked Wang Qi: "Don't speak foreign languages."
He did learn some slang from Yu Nan, but Wang Qi's slang was too dense and Li Banfeng couldn't understand it.
The record player couldn't wait any longer: "Living in the kiln means joining a gang, smashing the kiln means robbing, and inserting a thousand people means specializing in investigating news. My husband, if you don't understand anything, my slave can translate it for you. Please ask quickly."
The lady is anxious.
I was so anxious that tears streamed down my face.
Li Banfeng asked again: "Who is your big brother?"
Wang Qi was kicked and didn't dare to speak easily.
Du Shuping saw that Li Banfeng couldn't understand slang, so he tried to express it in a straightforward way: "The troubled daughter of the Lu family, Lu Xiaolan."
Lu Xiaolan went up to the mountains to become a bandit?
This was something Li Banfeng didn't expect.
"I have no grievances against you, so why are you attacking us?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. We all listen to the instructions of the big ladle, and we will do whatever is asked of us."
"Your big brother is Lu Xiaolan. He planted a mole in my territory. Do you know who it is?"
"We don't know this, and we shouldn't ask. Whenever Da Chaqian tells us to do it, we will destroy the kiln."
"Where is your Iron Sheep Mountain?"
"In the old land."
"What is the old land?"
"Like the new earth, a place without light."
The record player urged: "My lord, the new land is different from the old land. I will tell you slowly in a moment. You can continue to ask."
Li Banfeng asked again: "How far is Tieyang Mountain from here?"
"It depends on whether you know the road or not. You can't find the road. It's thousands of miles away. If you can find the road, it only takes a day. Little brother, just let us both live. I will draw this road for you. ”
As expected of a sixth-level literary cultivator, Du Shuping knew how to negotiate.
Li Banfeng didn't fall for his trick. He stopped asking for directions. If he continued to ask, the other party would definitely be bothered. He asked about the situation in Tieyang Mountain: "How many people are there in your village?"
"Sixty-six people, even though there are not many people, they are all well-educated.
Little brother, there is a road in the world, no matter which line you skate on, we are all walking side by side.
Today our brother fell into your hands, and we are convinced. We have just said what we knew, and you should not break your promise and give us a way out. "
"There is a road. You should accompany my wife to eat first. After eating, you can hit the road."
"Eat? Where is the food?" Du Shuping looked confused.
Chichi~
The lady smiled and said, "You are just rice!"
Two needles were inserted into the brains of Du Shuping and Wang Qi. The two looked at Li Banfeng angrily, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
…
Half an hour later, the lady finished her meal.
Li Banfeng dragged the body to Honglian and said, "Eat it."
Honglian sighed in her heart: It depends on your faces to eat scraps.
But she didn't dare to say more. A sixth-level cultivator and a fifth-level cultivator were considered rare ingredients. The flowers and leaves spread out, and Honglian took the two cultivators into the lotus heart.
Li Banfeng asked the record player: "Where is the old land?"
"When a new place becomes popular, it becomes a real place; when a good place loses its popularity, it turns into an old place."
Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time.
"Only when a new land becomes popular can it become a regular land? Can't it become a regular land after opening up wasteland?"
"It's far from it, far from it. Reclamation is called seeing the light of day. A hundred miles of land is covered with light of day, and ten thousand people stay there for a long time. This is called the right result, this is the right place..."
The lady explained it in detail. A local god must successfully reclaim the land of a hundred miles under his jurisdiction, and must ensure that there are more than 10,000 permanent residents in the land. This is called forming a right place.
Is it that complicated?
Isn't Lanyang Village a special case?
Li Banfeng's understanding is not like this: "Lan Yang Village has been eroded by major families, but they have been opening up new land. The land boundary has not become smaller, and the area is almost the same as before."
"It's different, it's different, husband, go to Lan Yang Village near the new land and take a look. Are there people living there?"
"There are people living there, but not many. There are no houses there. Some people build shacks. It is said that because the monsters in the new land often run out to harm people, most people dare not live there."
"That's the reason. Those places are not considered to be real lands, but only new lands that have been opened up.
The real real lands, the monsters in the new lands cannot go there, otherwise it will be regarded as grabbing territory in the real lands, and the local gods in the real lands will not forgive them."
The local gods in the real lands?
"Is Lu Huazi considered a local god of the real land?"
"Yes, sir, the local gods of the real land are higher in level than the local gods of the new land.
But if the real land is unpopular for a long time, it will become old land, and the local gods of the old land will drop in level, not much different from the new land."
With popularity, the level of the local gods will rise.
Without popularity, the level of the local gods will drop.
No wonder Qiu Daxiang cares so much about the pioneers.
This is related to their level promotion.
No wonder the local gods do not allow one person to open too much new land, otherwise all the land will be occupied by one person, and it will not meet the standard of 10,000 permanent residents.
But this also reminded Li Banfeng that he should not let the major families get their hands on Lan Yang Village at will in the future.
The newly opened land is not the real land, which is related to the future survival of Lan Yang Village.
"But since the population determines the level of the local gods, why do we need to test them when we open up wasteland? The more people open up wasteland, the more popular it will be, right?"
"Hey, sir, that's not the truth. If there are more people opening up wasteland, there may not be more people on the land.
A person with no ability goes to open up wasteland, at most he can bring his family with him. It's hard to find food in the new land, and there are monsters harassing him. After a few years, he can't make a living and moves away, and the land becomes barren.
But because the land reclamation was successful, the owner is still there, but he can't let the newcomers open up wasteland again. Isn't the local god at a big loss?
If you want to open up wasteland, you must have real skills, you must be able to manage, and you must be able to fight. Only such people can turn the new land into a legitimate land and be accepted by the local gods."
"If the population on the legitimate land is less than 10,000, will it become an old land? If there are 10,000 people on the old land, will it become a legitimate land again?"
Sigh~
The record player laughed.
"Sir, if there are exactly 10,000 people in a hundred-li area, and one person leaves today, the regular land becomes the old land, and another person comes tomorrow and the old land becomes the regular land, wouldn't the local god be tormented to death?
Ten thousand is a big threshold. After ten thousand, it is considered a regular land. A hundred-li area will become an old land only if the population is less than one hundred."
Less than one hundred...
Li Banfeng suddenly thought of a place.
"The area of Kucai Village must be more than a hundred miles, but there are not even a hundred people in that place. Is it considered an old land?"
"Kucai Village, the territory of the bitter woman, bitter woman, who is she? If she is not a local god, then what is she? Kucai Village, bitter woman, hehehe..."
Oh no, my wife is going crazy!
"Let's not talk about Kucai Village, there is no Kucai Village, let's talk about something else, what else does my wife want to eat, I'm going out to buy vegetables..."
After taking the Xuanyun Pill, although my wife almost lost her life, after recovery, her condition has improved a lot compared to before.
But even so, I can't mention the bitter woman casually.
What kind of person is the bitter mother-in-law?
While his wife was still in good spirits, Li Banfeng coaxed her to sleep.
After leaving Suishenju, Li Banfeng went to his own plot of land.
He set up the altar and invited Shui Yongquan: "The matter has been investigated. It was done by that group of pioneers. The leader of the pioneers is Lu Xiaolan, a big gangster on Tieyang Mountain."
"Tieyang Mountain is a bandit's nest on the old land," Shui Yongquan stroked his beard, "I will talk to Qiu Daxiang about this first, let him understand the truth here, if the people on his land dare to come here to make trouble again, I will kill them one by one in the future, without mercy."
"There is another thing I need to trouble Manager Shui, how to get to Tieyang Mountain?"
Shui Yongquan was stunned: "Brother Li Qi, what are you going to do? Do you still want to attack their mountain?"
"Can't we attack their mountain? ? They were the first to attack. "
Shui Yongquan signaled Li Banfeng to calm down first: "Why did you offend Tieyang Mountain?"
"I have never offended Tieyang Mountain. I just know their name today."
"First, you should find out the cause and effect of this, and then we can talk about this gang of bandits."
"Can't we fight and investigate at the same time?"
Shui Yongquan didn't know how to answer: "Brother Li Qi, they are bandits, they are famous bandits! They are not street thugs. Let's deal with the current things first!"
"Is there a difference between bandits and thugs?"
"What do you think?" Shui Yongquan left angrily.
Li Banfeng looked blank.
Is there a big difference?
Even if there is a difference, he has come to my house to fight, can't I fight back?
However, what Shui Yongquan said makes sense, and the matter at hand must be dealt with.
First, we have to find out the mole.
Then he did it to Lu Xiaolan and his group.
…
He Jiaqing was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling, his eyes a little distracted.
"The Three Iron Sheep Heroes died like this? That brother of mine was a bit ruthless! I underestimated him before, and he even plotted against me!"
Someone responded in my ear: "There needs to be an explanation for this matter. How should I explain it to Rong Yeguang?"
"What explanation? Give him some money as compensation."
“Tieyang Mountain is not short of money.”
"If you don't lack money, you won't give it to us. We've saved money! Also tell Rong Yeguang that if he wants to clear his identity, he has to pay the price!"
The person on the other side sighed and asked, "Are you still listening to the live broadcast?"
"Listen, if you hear anything about him, let me hear it. This brother of mine is no ordinary person. I miss him more and more.
In addition, they are not allowed to enter their territory for the time being, but the delivery road must be sealed for them.
If Ma Wu brings the moth to deliver goods every day, let him deliver it. If he is slack for one day, his goods will be robbed. Let me see how long he can carry it.
I would like to remind our people to be careful when talking to Lu Xiaolan. She is a suspicious person, so don’t let her find out her identity. "
