Chapter 212 Iron Gate Fort

Li Banfeng stayed in Suishenju for a full sixteen hours before coming out.

He stayed there for such a long time because he had thought it over.

First, he was not sure whether Ling Miaoying would hook the hook, so he had to ask his wife to clean it up.

Fortunately, his wife did not find the hook on him.

Second, he was not sure whether Ling Miaoying would chase the train, nor when the train would stop.

If Ling Miaoying chased the train, or the train stopped directly in Green Water City, and Li Banfeng showed up quickly, then his situation would be the same as if he had not escaped, and he would still be under Ling Miaoying's control.

In terms of cultivation, Li Banfeng was far inferior to Ling Miaoying, and there was also a gap in experience. Even in the comparison of magic weapons, Li Banfeng did not take advantage. Under Ling Miaoying's control, Li Banfeng would definitely die.

The only place he could rely on was Suishenju, and hiding in Suishenju for a while was the wisest choice.

But what if Ling Miaoying got on the train and picked up the key?

Wouldn't Li Banfeng be afraid?

He was afraid, but it was useless to be afraid.

If Ling Miaoying really found the key and wanted to pick it up, Li Banfeng could not stop him at all.

So Li Banfeng prepared for the worst.

If Ling Miaoying picked up the key, he should take it back to study. After studying for more than ten hours, he must be tired and keep the key somewhere.

It is two o'clock in the morning. Ling Miaoying is probably sleeping. This is the best time Li Banfeng can think of to escape.

Coming out of the living room, Li Banfeng found that he was still on the train.

This means that Ling Miaoying did not pick up the key.

This is a relatively ideal situation for Li Banfeng.

Now he only needs to stay quietly in the carriage until the train arrives, then get off and find a way to return to Green Water City.

The last time he took the train, Li Banfeng did not open the curtains to look out.

This opportunity is rare. Li Banfeng stood at the edge of the carriage and carefully admired the scenery outside the car.

In fact, there is no scenery to appreciate. It is very late at night and the sky is very dark. You can only see the outlines of trees rapidly retreating on both sides of the road.

After watching for a while, the conductor reminded him: "The train is going into the tunnel, you lie down first."

Li Banfeng quickly lay down in the coal pile with the conductor.

When did the conductor come?

Li Banfeng didn't notice it at all.

When the train passed through the tunnel, the conductor stood in front of Li Banfeng and asked: "Why are you on this train?"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and gave a very reasonable explanation: "I have a ticket!"

He handed the ticket to the conductor.

The conductor looked at the ticket and gave it back to Li Banfeng: "It's not a ticket for this train."

"Really?" Li Banfeng looked at the ticket carefully, then looked at the train carefully, and asked in shock, "What is the number of this train? Did I take the wrong train?"

Li Banfeng felt that his acting was very realistic, but it didn't impress the conductor.

The conductor said expressionlessly: "This is Train No. 1151, and you are going to take Train No. 1173.

And this is a freight train, and you are going to take a passenger train."

Li Banfeng heard this and quickly put away his ticket, repeatedly apologizing: "This is my first time taking a train, and I accidentally got on the wrong train. I will get off immediately when the next station arrives."

The conductor's idea was different from Li Banfeng's: "If I let you get to the next station, it would be a serious dereliction of duty on my part."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "Then I will get off immediately when the train stops temporarily."

"There is no plan for a temporary stop on this train."

"Then please arrange a temporary stop."

The conductor still shook his head: "Arranging a temporary stop at will is also a dereliction of duty on my part."

Li Banfeng frowned slightly and said: "Then what are you going to do?"

"I suggest you get off immediately."

"How can I get off if you don't stop!"

Woo~

A whistle sounded, and an iron pole protruded from the carriage.

Li Banfeng was stabbed off the train by the conductor and fell into the woods next to the railway track.

Before being stabbed, Li Banfeng tried to resist, but failed.

In Provo, do not offend the train attendant. Li Banfeng really understood this iron rule.

Where is this place?

Li Banfeng patted the dust off his body and tried to distinguish the direction.

The direction can be distinguished, but Li Banfeng does not know where he is.

Go back along the railway?

Li Banfeng had just taken a few steps when an inexplicable chill suddenly hit him.

There is danger.

The source of the danger is not difficult to judge.

Ling Miaoying must suspect that I am on this train, and he may be chasing me along the way.

Ling Miaoying does not know where I will get off the train. It is safe to get away from the railway as soon as possible.

Li Banfeng looked at the technique of seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, and walked through the forest. He walked a long way and walked all night.

The road in the forest is not easy to walk, and it is constantly dangerous. Li Banfeng has just arrived and walked very cautiously all the way.

At dawn, Li Banfeng left the forest and passed a canyon, and finally saw people.

There are eight gates at the entrance of the canyon, very exaggerated gates.

Each gate is five meters wide and eight meters high, one on the left and one on the right, arranged in a row, embedded under four door frames, blocking the entire canyon.

Although not close, Li Banfeng can see that these gates are very heavy and made of solid materials.

How much manpower is needed to push this gate open?

What is the situation behind the gate?

Is it a secret realm?

Or a tomb?

Or...

Huff~Huff~

What's that sound?

Is the train chasing us?

Is Ling Miaoying chasing us?

Li Banfeng heard the unique spitting sound of a steam train and shivered with fear.

Looking around, Li Banfeng didn't see the train, but saw the entrance to the canyon, and the leftmost door opened.

Huff~Huff~

He didn't see the person opening the door, but only saw black smoke and white mist spewing on the door panel.

Steam door?

Is there such a structure?

Woo~

Two whistles sounded, and the door opened completely.

Li Banfeng took a few steps towards the door and didn't sense any danger.

He needed to ask someone for directions, and it was also a good opportunity to see who was operating this steam door.

But when he walked behind the door, he didn't see anyone, only a huge clock.

The clock was two meters high, and the huge pendulum swung back and forth, which could fully reflect Li Banfeng's whole body.

Many gears extend from the back of the dial, and the gears drive the huge connecting rods to control the air valves on the pipeline.

Li Banfeng learned the basics of mechanics in college. After looking at it for a long time, he seemed to see some clues.

This clock has both timing and timer functions.

It is seven o'clock in the morning. When the time comes, the mechanical device of the clock automatically opens the air valve, and the steam engine will drive the door to open it.

High-tech!

Li Banfeng has been in Green Water City for so long, and he has never seen such a steam automatic door.

The steam door is made very precisely, and no one is needed to open and close the door. There is a limit switch on the door shaft. When the door is opened to the position, the air valve will close naturally.

But there must be someone to burn the boiler, right?

Don't tell me there is a steam robot.

Li Banfeng found the chimney in the direction of the smoke, and then found the boiler room.

There is indeed a boiler burning in the boiler room.

There are five men in total, two adding coal, two adding water, and one reading the meter to record the temperature and pressure.

Li Banfeng walked to the door and asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

The noise in the boiler room was very loud. Several people looked at Li Banfeng, but they couldn't seem to hear what he was saying.

Li Banfeng shouted again, "I'm asking for directions!"

The people still didn't hear clearly. They pointed to the sign at the door, which said: No entry for idle people.

Li Banfeng turned and left.

You don't have to ask these people for directions.

In such a big village, who can you ask?

They are busy, so there is no need to be annoying.

There are many houses in the village, very dense, and the styles are very similar. They are all two-story buildings with flat roofs. Each building has a large black iron door.

Looking at the area, each building is about 70 to 80 square meters, and the two floors add up to 150 to 160 square meters. The distance between the buildings is also about 5 meters.

Why is this village so neat?

Maybe Li Banfeng came too early, there was no pedestrian on the road.

Without pedestrians, who can I ask for directions?

Li Banfeng came to the door of a small building and knocked on the dark iron door. After waiting for a long time, no one responded.

This house didn't answer, so he went to knock on the next one.

The next house didn't answer either.

After knocking on more than ten houses in a row, one house finally made some movement.

Clatter~ Clatter~

The cover of the door mirror on the iron door was opened.

Clatter~ Clatter~

The person inside looked behind the door mirror for a long time, and then opened a small window on the iron door.

"Who are you looking for?"

A young man stood behind the door. Through the small window, Li Banfeng could see most of his face.

His skin was very white, as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time. His hair was a little long, but it was well-groomed. His lips were dark blue. He usually shaved, but not so frequently.

This man's face made Li Banfeng feel very friendly.

But the young man didn't think Li Banfeng was friendly. His eyes wandered around, trying his best to avoid Li Banfeng's gaze.

Obviously, he didn't like strangers.

"I'm here to ask for directions," Li Banfeng said, "I want to know where this place is?"

The young man replied, "This is Tiemenbao."

Tiemenbao?

Housenfendi?

I actually followed the train to this place.

How can I go back now?

Go to the station and buy a ticket?

Li Banfeng has a pass in his hand, a round-trip pass between Heishipao and Lushuicheng.

But will it work in Tiemenbao?

Even if it works, Li Banfeng doesn't really want to go to the station. Since coming to Pro Province, his experience at the station has not been very pleasant.

Go back from Xindi.

The location of Tiemenbao is marked on Yao Lao's map.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Xindi?"

"Which Xindi are you asking about?"

Li Banfeng recalled the mark on the map: "I want to go to Taohua Lake Xindi."

The man thought for a while and said: "You go out of the fort first, then turn right at the gate and go straight.

Walk for more than ten minutes, there is a fork in the road, you can see a big willow tree at the intersection, that willow tree is very big and very easy to recognize.

When you face the willow tree, turn left along the fork in the road and keep going. Don't turn out along the way, just go forward. After walking for half a day, you can see Taohua Lake.

Facing Taohua Lake, turn half a circle from left to right, walk to a big rock, jump into the lake, and you can see Xindi at the bottom of the lake."

To indicate the way, use front, back, left, right, and left, not east, west, south, and north.

To measure distance, use time, not miles or meters.

Li Banfeng felt that this man was more and more friendly.

"Thank you." Li Banfeng took out a banknote and stuffed it into the man.

The man lowered his head: "I don't want money!"

It's easy to be shy and embarrassed. Li Banfeng seemed to see an old friend.

He wanted to talk to him for a few more words, but the man opposite didn't seem to want to talk.

Li Banfeng stuffed the banknotes into the crack of the door and turned to leave.

The man shouted behind him: "Wait a minute."

Li Banfeng didn't wait.

The man turned the door and chased out: "I don't want your money. I forgot to tell you just now that if you can't swim, don't go to Taohua Lake. You will drown."

Li Banfeng nodded and said: "Thank you, this money..."

"I don't want it!" This man is a bit stubborn, the stubbornness unique to otakus.

He turned around and was about to go home when he saw an old man driving a donkey cart into the fort.

The donkey cart was full of sacks. The young man walked to the donkey cart and asked: "How much is a pound of white rice?"

The old man was selling grain.

"Two dollars and a half!" The old man stopped the donkey cart.

The young man thought it was expensive, but didn't say much.

He didn't bargain easily when buying things.

"Give me a bag."

The old man took a bag of rice and gave it to the young man: "50 jin a bag, 125 yuan."

The young man nodded, counted the money, and gave it to the old man.

He bought things and paid first.

The old man took a bag of rice and gave it to the young man. The young man opened the bag and looked at it: "This rice has a lot of sand, can I change it for another bag..."

"It's the same, what can I change!" The old man drove the donkey cart away.

He is not good at negotiating when buying things.

Especially when the money has been paid.

This series of characteristics is too obvious.

This is the characteristic of almost every otaku.

Li Banfeng looked at the man and couldn't help asking: "Are you a otaku?"

The man looked at Li Banfeng, didn't speak, carried the rice, and went home.

The old man driving the donkey cart smiled and said: "This is your first time to Tiemenbao? All the people living in Tiemenbao are otakus!"

All otakus?

Then you have to stay in this good place for two more days.

Ling Miaoying can't know that I'm here anyway, this is a good opportunity to get to know otakus.

PS: Tiemenbao, a good place that people really yearn for.
