Chapter 39 A Sudden Storm

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

After leaving Suishenju, he found that it was noon again. Li Banfeng realized that he must have a timekeeping tool.

When he returned to Yuezhou, these things would be easy to deal with. A mobile phone could solve all the problems.

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

Li Banfeng walked out of Suishenju and walked a few hundred meters on the street. Suddenly, he felt a strange reaction in his body.

What exactly was the reaction, Li Banfeng couldn't say.

He searched around the street for a vehicle, whether it was a horse-drawn carriage or a foreign car, as long as there was a car.

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

What are you looking at me for?

I am dressed very decently today in a suit and tie, with a top hat!

The pedestrians didn't have any ill intentions, they just felt curious.

It's strange, how do I know they don't have any ill intentions?

Why are there so many strange reactions today?

The pedestrians really didn't have any ill intentions. They didn't look at the clothes, but at Li Banfeng's unusual speed.

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

But his feet were driving his body forward quickly in a trajectory that ordinary people could not understand. When Li Banfeng noticed something was wrong, he had already reached the end of the street.

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

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

He did not actively exert force, and he did not feel the slightest fatigue.

And these legs seemed to be equipped with motors. If you don't step on the brakes, you can't stop at all.

Even if you step on the brakes, it's not easy to control. Li Banfeng can stand still, but as long as he steps forward, he seems to rush forward at a speed of 20 miles.

This is not good. How can I not even walk normally?

Is this caused by the poisonous fog of Kuwu Mountain?

Is this a temporary symptom, or an irreversible injury?

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

He 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, he took a rickshaw to the train station, bought a ticket, got on the train, entered Suishenju, and then trained his legs and feet.

While thinking, his legs did not stop, and he walked a few dozen meters. Li Banfeng went back the same way, came to the driver, stopped with difficulty, and asked: "How much does it cost to go to the train station?"

The driver took a puff of dry tobacco, raised his head, looked at Li Banfeng and smiled: "Do you still need to take a car to go to the station?"

Li Banfeng stared at the driver for a while.

He knew this driver. Monkey Qiu had hired him. He was a driver with a steam wheel.

It was he who pulled Li Banfeng from the station to the peddler's place. Monkey Qiu paid a full fare of 500 yuan for this.

What the driver said was right. The station was not far from Ligou. With Li Banfeng's speed, he could get there in a blink of an eye.

But Li Banfeng didn't know the way.

The driver stood up and pointed at 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 a mile, there is a fork road, walk another two miles, and you will reach the train station."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "It's too troublesome, let's take a car."

The driver said with a cigarette in his mouth: "What's the trouble? You have reached the first level of travel cultivation, how can you not find the road?"

Sure enough.

This strange speed is not caused by the poisonous fog of Kuwu Mountain, but by the level of travel cultivation.

Why did the travel cultivation reach the level?

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

When he was on Kuwu Mountain, he was choked by the poisonous fog and made Li Banfeng dizzy, so he forgot the peddler's advice.

After staying in a dangerous place for a day and a night, the travel cultivation must reach the level.

Kuwu Mountain is a dangerous place, which means that Li Banfeng has passed the test of travel cultivation and has become a first-level cultivator.

It is a good thing that the travel cultivation has reached the level.

You can't go up too fast, otherwise you will be counterattacked by the home cultivation.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. The living room cannot produce a house spirit, and the house cultivators cannot reach a higher level. In the future, the house cultivators will inevitably be suppressed by the travel cultivators. All Li Banfeng can do is to control the gap between the two sides.

"Why didn't I feel it yesterday?" Li Banfeng murmured to himself.

The driver asked: "When did you pass the first level?"

"The day before yesterday, I passed it in Kuwu Mountain." Li Banfeng answered truthfully.

The driver smiled and said: "You passed the level the day before yesterday and reached a higher level today. It's fast. Most people have to wait for three or five days. Little brother, you are lucky. Hurry to the station."

Li Banfeng said to the driver: "I'm too lazy to walk. Since you are pulling a car here, why don't you do business?"

The driver was stunned for a moment: "Do you have to take my car? Do you know how much my car costs? Other people's cars are eight yuan, but I have to charge you two hundred."

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

Li Banfeng felt a sense of intimacy with this driver. He firmly believed that he was right to give these two hundred yuan.

The driver touched the lines on the banknote and said with a smile: "Okay, I tell you, my car will arrive in the blink of an eye."

"Can you go 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. Five hundred yuan, two words "go", do you agree?"

Two words refer to the two numbers on the dial, which means ten minutes to go.

Li Banfeng nodded: "Agree."

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 walked just now caused 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 cultivation, 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 smiled bitterly: "When you reach a higher level, do you have to learn to walk again?"

"Don't think it's troublesome. It's not going well at first, and you'll have to fall a lot. Once you learn the ropes, you can walk sixty or seventy miles in an hour."

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 location. The more dangerous the terrain, the faster your cultivation will improve. "

Li Banfeng was very impressed: "On Kuwu Mountain, your cultivation level also 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.

If you can come back alive, it's because you have a good life. You really have a good life. You can get through it even if the light shines on you. If you have a good life, you should cherish your life. It's not worth losing such a good life for a few dollars. "

"The reason for going to Kuwu Mountain is to make money. After all, money is not easy to make." 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 chamomiles 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 must be traveled within your capabilities, and dangerous people must be kept at a respectful distance. Kuwu Mountain is both a dangerous place and full of dangerous people. You should not go to such a 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?"
