Have I become a cloud?

Li Banfeng waved his arms and adjusted his flying posture in the cold wind.

Where is this?

Is this the cloud?

Why is it so dark?

The judge wrote: "Don't move around, open your eyes, it won't be dark anymore."

Li Banfeng opened his eyes and found that he had flown out of his home and was flying over the house.

Xiao Yeci was hanging clothes in the yard. Although there were many maids around her, she was still used to doing some things by herself.

Miss Xiao, don’t raise your head.

If you look up and find Li Qi flying in the sky, you don't know what will happen to Xiao Yeci.

Li Banfeng waved his arms with all his strength, wanting to fly higher.

Judge Bi said angrily: "Don't move, if you do anything you will give me back your capital!"

Only then did Li Banfeng realize that he was still hanging on the pen of the judge.

"I'm already in the clouds, why can't I still fly?"

"Then you have to learn." The judge's pen rose a little higher and led Li Banfeng to circle over Ye Song Bridge over and over again.

The promotion was successful.

Li Banfeng experienced a cross-level promotion and his body was severely exhausted. He was on the verge of life and death, but he couldn't recuperate in the house.

This is the price for taking Yunshang by force. He must now move around in his own realm and stabilize his soul through his realm and personality.

To be honest, Li Banfeng finds it difficult to open his eyes now.

The string earring warned: "Sir, my wife just said that our cheap pen can only fly you for a short time.

You have to walk most of the way yourself. "

Gotta go—

An hour later, the judge pen put down Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng couldn't stand firmly. He just took two steps when his feet went weak and he almost fell into the Yanyun Lake.

Even though he is a cultivator on the cloud now, with his physical condition, if he really falls in, he will definitely drown.

The wine gourd prepared some hot wine: "Little brother, take a sip to calm down first."

Teapot quickly stopped and said: "Nonsense! What time of the day is this? You can still drink. You should drink some tea."

"Don't drink anything," Tang Dao jumped out from his waist, "Lord, hold on tight, let's move forward."

Tang Dao became Li Banfeng's crutch and led Li Banfeng forward step by step.

Thanks to his talent as a home repairer, Li Banfeng could easily be ignored, otherwise the way he moves would definitely frighten the passers-by around him.

After walking for a whole day, Li Banfeng's soul stabilized, but his speed did not pick up. His basic travel training skills,

The wind blows from the plains and has not yet recovered.

When they reached the Lu family bookstore, Sun Tiecheng came out, supported Li Banfeng and sat down next to the coffee table.

"You've reached the clouds so quickly?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Didn't you say that the sooner the better? Of course I will listen to you."

Sun Tiecheng sighed: "It's better to be too impatient. I think it will take a while to recover."

While he was talking, the Smiling Ghost King returned to Jianchou, poured a pot of tea for the two of them, and then went to wipe the bookshelf with a linen cloth.

Li Banfeng asked: "Who is this?"

Sun Tiecheng said: "His name is A Gui. I hired him to do the work. A Gui is a diligent person who talks little. I didn't let him speak, and he didn't say a word."

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Are you really planning to do business here?"

Sun Tiecheng sighed and said, "It would be great if that could really happen. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do in the city."

Li Banfeng said: "I'll follow you to Fool's City to rest, it's safe there."

Sun Tiecheng shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, your soul is still wandering, you must stay in your own world, wait until the soul is completely stable,

This bookstore will continue to open. As long as the bookstore is still there, my old friends will not dare to come to the store.

You are weak during this period, so be careful. We have survived strong winds and waves, but we must not capsize in the gutter. "

Sun Tiecheng left, and Li Banfeng, holding his Tang Dao, took a long time to stand up and moved back to the mansion step by step.

Xiao Yeci was overjoyed to see Li Qi back, but he didn't expect that Li Qi couldn't even stand still.

"My benefactor, what's going on?"

"In the new land, caught by the wind and cold————."

Li Banfeng was sweating profusely. He rested for a while in the courtyard and found an opportunity to return to his home.

"My husband is tired. Let's take a rest for a while. In two hours, we have to go back to the underworld."

Li Banfeng said with a helpless look: "Do we still have to walk on the earth's boundary?"

The record player sang softly: "My husband's soul is quite stable, it doesn't matter if he doesn't leave, but he must stay on the earth. If the land is taken from the clouds, there will be a big change from the body to the soul. It all depends on the stability of the earth and personality." "

Under the steam wrap, Li Banfeng took a breath, lay down on the bed for a moment, and asked: "Madam, am I above the clouds now?"

"My lord, even if you are on the cloud level now, you are not yet at the first level. It is the same as when you entered the Taoist sect and you were not yet at the first level."

"Then how long do I have to live now?"

"The life span is still the original life span————"

The record player didn't dare to speak too loudly. After all, my husband had suffered so much and now he didn't even get three times his life span.

Li Banfeng was very calm: "How long will it take to reach the upper level of the clouds?"

"First, it depends on when the body will recover, and second, when the soul will be stable. The Yunshang cultivators promoted in Neizhou have a new body directly attached to the soul. Naturally, there is no need to consider recovery and stabilization.

Since you have saved your body, you have to get through this stage by yourself. Some people can't get through this stage for ten or eight years, and some can't even get through it for a lifetime. "

"A lifetime?" Li Banfeng was shocked and struggled to sit up.

The record player embraced Li Banfeng with a ball of steam and whispered softly: "Don't worry, husband, take a good rest first.

This stage is indeed not easy to pass, but we have prepared before. Take half a pill first to replenish your body."

"Why take half a pill? We have plenty of pills at home, so why do we need to be so frugal? Can't we take one pill?"

"That's not possible. Not to mention one pill, half a pill is too much. "The record player took a Xuanyun Pill and wanted to take out one-third of it. After hesitating for a moment, he cut off one-fifth with a record needle and put it into Li Banfeng's mouth.

Li Banfeng swallowed the pill and sweated more. The record player kept nourishing him with steam to help Li Banfeng resist the medicinal properties.

This medicinal property is not easy to resist. My wife almost lost her life because she was weak and could not be replenished.

Now Li Banfeng is also weak. After taking the pill, his body is so soft that he can hardly move.

In the Suishen Residence, the body recovers the fastest, but after two hours, Li Banfeng's soul began to wander again.

Tang Dao took Li Banfeng back to Xiao Yeci's house, entered the bedroom, and Li Banfeng fell asleep.

Gloves were a little worried: "If a strong enemy comes, what can the head of the family do to resist it?"

Jiuhulu said: "Stand guard, we will watch from the side, and we will block the incoming people first, at least we have to give the little brother a chance to run into the house. ”

The magic weapons were in their positions, and someone really came.

Tang Dao was about to make a move when he found that the person who came was Xiao Yeci,

"My benefactor, where did you go just now---"

Xiao Yeci was worried about Li Banfeng. He came to check on him several times before and found that Li Banfeng was not in the bedroom.

Now seeing that Li Banfeng was sleeping soundly, Xiao Yeci did not dare to speak loudly and watched carefully from the side.

She wanted to touch Li Qi's body to see if it was hot. She stretched out her hand, but was a little hesitant.

You can't touch it casually!

But how can you know if it's hot if you don't touch it?

Xiao Yeci bit her lip. Anyway, no one else saw it, so it's okay to touch it.

As soon as the idea emerged, it was quickly dispelled.

What a stupid idea!

Is this something that no one saw?

Men and women should not be intimate!

While he was struggling, Lu Chunying walked in and said to Xiao Yeci: "Sister Xiu is going back to Green Water City. Let's go to the station to see her off."

"Nan, you go. My benefactor is sick. I have to take care of him. "

Lu Chunying stepped forward and touched Li Banfeng's forehead: "It's not hot, but I sweat a lot."

Xiao Yeci glared: "You can touch it just like that, girl, don't you know the rules?"

Lu Chunying snorted: "Are you not a girl? Is it in accordance with the rules for a man and a woman to be in the same room?"

"I, I am doing serious things, I am taking care of my benefactor, I am————"

Lu Chunying left.

Xiao Yeci blushed and said to himself: "I have a clear conscience."

Li Banfeng was sleeping and waking up, Xiao Yeci served tea and water beside him: "My benefactor, do you want to find a doctor?"

"There is no need to find a doctor, find me some more water to drink, and tell me about the customs of Ye Songqiao. "

Xiao Yeci whispered in Li Banfeng's ear, and stopped immediately when he saw Li Qi fell asleep. He waited for Li Qi to wake up before continuing.

After talking for more than two hours, Lu Chunying came back: "Mom, Sister Xiu didn't leave."

"What's wrong?"

"The train station received an order. From today on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Ye Songqiao."

Xiao Yeci was nervous: "What happened?"

Lu Chunying said: "It seems to be something that happened at the General Office of Customs Defense. Brother Wu has gone to inquire about the news."

At night, Ma Wu returned to the mansion and took advantage of Li Banfeng's soberness to tell him the story: "Xia Shumin is here, for the matter of Honglian. "

Honglian?

The Honglian in my hand?

Li Banfeng's mind was not very clear, and he was nervous for a while before he realized that Ma Wu was talking about the Honglian found in Ye Songqiao: "I heard from Zheng Siyi that the Honglian had been taken away by Xia Shumin. What is he doing here? ”

Ma Wu said: "Honglian is lost. Xia Shumin insisted that Honglian was lost at Ye Songqiao. Zheng Siyi did not admit it and took out the video to confront him. Xia Shumin lost his temper and said that he must get to the bottom of the matter, so he closed Ye Songqiao. ”

Li Banfeng frowned and said: "This trick again?"

Cheng Mingke had also interrupted the traffic of Heishipo before, but ended up cutting off his own food supply.

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "This time the method is different from the past. Xia Shumin blocked the entrance to the new land of Ye Songqiao."

"How to block it? I want to go to the new land, can he stop me?" Li Banfeng stood up and felt dizzy.

Ma Wu supported Li Banfeng and said: "It is said that Xia Shumin brought a lot of masters here. Let's wait for the news. Now is not the time to confront them head-on, otherwise it is equivalent to admitting that Honglian's matter has something to do with us."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Even if we don't admit it, this birdman will find me. "

Ma Wu said: "Why don't we try to hide first, and if that doesn't work, we can just force our way into the new land."

Li Banfeng couldn't hide.

What he said just now was just an angry remark. Before his soul was stable, he couldn't easily leave Ye Songqiao.

In Green Water City, the Chu family mansion, Chu Er was busy sorting out the accounts until late at night. The housekeeper Yang Yanzheng prepared the supper. Chu Er swallowed, shook his head and said, "I won't eat, you can eat."

Granny Ku once told her not to indulge too much after leaving Kucaizhuang, and not to relax even for a moment about her spiritual practice.

Chu Er took a sip of cold water and found that there was still an uncollected account in the business with Li Qi.

"When can I get this account back? Do you still have to wait for me to go there in person?"

Yang Yanzheng nodded and said: "Yes, Miss, you have given instructions before that this account cannot be collected and must wait for you to claim it in person."

Chu Er was stunned: "Did I say such a thing?"

Supporting Wen Hongyan nodded beside her: "As I said, Li Qi sent someone to bring the money, but you refused to accept it. You said that the account was not clarified, and you had to find Li Qi to explain it to Li Qi face to face."

Chu Er looked at the account book and nodded calmly: "Should we make it clear in person, is Li Qi still in Ye Songqiao?"

Wen Hongyan didn't answer and looked at Yang Yanzheng.

Yang Yanzheng nodded and said, "Still at Ye Songqiao, I guess I'll be back soon."

Chu Er thought for a moment and said, "This account can't wait any longer. I'd better go to Ye Songqiao to find him."

Yang Yanzheng quickly tried to dissuade him: "Miss, let's not be in a hurry right now. Paramount has made a lot of money this month. Let me give you a try."

Chu Er waved his hand and said: "I have settled the accounts of Paramount. You go and buy me a ticket. I will go to Yesongqiao tomorrow."

Yang Yanzheng picked up another account: "Qiqiu City has also seen the return money, let's do the math together."

"Don't worry about calculating the money, just hurry up and get the ticket."

"Miss, let's discuss the business at Huangtu Bridge."

"What's going on?" Chu Er frowned, "Why do you keep interrupting your conversation? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Yang Yanzheng pondered for a moment and then told the truth: "Miss, Ye Song Bridge has been sealed by the Customs and Defense Department. The train has stopped and no entry or exit is allowed."

Chu Er Yiyi asked: "When did it happen?"

"Just for the past two days, I said it was about Honglian."

Chu Er also heard about Honglian, mainly because Xia Shumin made too much noise.

"Didn't Honglian ask that person named Xia to be taken to another state?"

Yang Yanzheng said: "There is some news from the Customs and Defense Department. It is said that when they went to another state to inspect the goods, they found that the things were missing. The bridge is closed."

"Liao Zihui just lets Xia Shumin do whatever he wants?'

"Liao Zihui is still treating a disease in another state. He said he was injured by Honglian. Now the entire Customs and Defense Department is under Xia Shumin's command."

Chu Er didn't quite understand: "Xia Shumin lost Honglian, can he still be in charge of the Customs and Defense Department?"

Yang Yanzheng sighed: "This Xia Shumin's background is not simple, and this matter is probably not trivial."

Chu Er was silent for a moment and asked: "Will this matter affect Li Qi?

Wen Hongyan said: "Li Qi went to Ye Songqiao to do business, and so many things happened to Ye Songqiao. If he said it had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it."

Yang Yanzheng quickly added: "Master Qi is a smart man. He can definitely explain things that have nothing to do with him."

Chu Er shook his head and said: "If Xia Shumin bites Li Qi, it will be useless no matter how much he talks to him. Besides, Li Qi is definitely not willing to talk to them more. How many people did he take with him when he went to Ye Songqiao?"

Yang Yanzheng said: "As far as I know, he didn't bring anyone with him. You also know Li Qi's temperament. He is used to walking alone."

"Where's Lu Chunying?"

"Lu Chunying accompanied Xiao Yeci home to visit relatives, and brought a few friends with her."

"I heard that He Yuxiu also went."

"He Yuxiu went to discuss business, not to fight. He didn't have many people."

Chu Er rubbed his forehead: "I always feel like something big is going to happen this time. I have to go to Ye Songqiao to take a look."

Wen Hongyan said: "How to get there? Yesong Bridge is blocked."

"I have a way," Chu Er stood up and said, "go gather people."

In the Customs and Defense Department, Xia Shumin asked Zheng Siyi for questioning.

Xia Shumin has been here for so many days, and Zheng Siyi is used to asking questions every day.

"General Manager Xia, you have read all the handover materials. The theft of red lotus has indeed nothing to do with our department."

Xia Shumin said: "Old Zheng, now is not the time to assign responsibilities. I came to you this time to confirm three things. The first thing is, what is the purpose of Mr. Liao coming to Yesongqiao?"

"General Manager Liao came to inspect our work. I have written this in the report."

"If it's just a normal inspection, why bring combatants?"

"This is the ambassador's arrangement. I don't know the specific reason."

Xia Shumin then asked: "The second thing is that Ambassador Liao once fought with the Wujie Battalion of the Light Chasing Regiment. What was the reason?"

"It's not a war, it's a mediation." Liao Zihui had warned him before, and Zheng Siyi had made preparations beforehand. "There was a conflict between the members of the Light Chasing Group and the two powerful men in Puluozhou. Ambassador Liao led his people to mediate and calmed the matter down. Come down."

"Which two are powerful?"

"He Yuxiu and Li Qi, you don't need to introduce these two people. You should know them very well."

Xia Shumin nodded and said, "That means this matter has something to do with Li Qi."

Zheng Siyi couldn't say it didn't matter, otherwise he would be trapped. His answer was: "I don't know what the grudge is between Li Qi and the Light Chaser Group. We just did our duty and didn't let the situation escalate further."

Xia Shumin frowned and said, "The Unbounded Camp was almost completely wiped out. Isn't the situation serious enough?"

Zheng Siyi was unhurried: "This is a last resort. In this conflict, no civilians were killed or injured. Our mediation work has achieved very good results."

Xia Shumin took a pen with spirituality and wrote down Zheng Siyi's words word for word.

"The third thing is that after I left, you sent people to guard the place where Red Lotus was obtained. As far as I know, one night, the person on duty did not go to the scene."

Zheng Siyi was stunned: "Is there such a thing? I have to verify this carefully. If it is true, the personnel on duty must be severely punished. I also bear a certain responsibility."

There is no need to verify, Zheng Siyi knows this very well. Li Qi went to visit the Ditoushen's residence that night, which was facilitated by Zheng Siyi.

Obviously, Xia Shumin has caught the clue: "How did I hear that this matter is also related to Li Qi?"

Zheng Siyi said: "General Ambassador Xia, why do you keep asking about Li Qi today?

The officer on duty left his post without permission. This is my responsibility. I will investigate it thoroughly.

Ask him about Li Qi, I don't know anything about him. "

Xia Shumin nodded and said: "You are right. I should ask him. Old Zheng, during this period, I hope you and your men will stay in the Customs and Defense Department temporarily. I don't want the news to leak out in advance."

Back in his office, Zheng Siyi sat in a chair and was in a daze for a while.

He really wanted to give Xin'er to Li Qi, but given the current situation at the Customs and Defense Department, it was difficult for him to go out.

Li Qi is a smart man. He should know that under such circumstances, he must not come to the Defense Department. Once he falls into Xia Shumin's hands, he can be charged with any crime.

Unexpectedly, it was also very difficult. Xia Shumin worked hard this time.

Li Banfeng rested for a few days, and his mobility gradually recovered, but his fighting power has not yet been restored. When it comes to fighting, he can also fight a small battle. He can also barely use the skills of traveling around and crossing thousands of rivers, but he can persist. In less than twenty seconds, his physical strength reached its limit.

Ma Wu went to the Customs and Defense Department to negotiate every day. He hoped that the Customs and Defense Department would let them go back to Lushui City first.

The Customs and Defense Department did not refuse. They only said that they were still going through the procedures and asked Ma Wu to go back and wait for news.

At dusk, Ma Wu came out of the Customs and Defense Department and chartered a ferry to go back to his residence. The boat took about ten minutes, but when it arrived, it didn't dock and kept going downstream along the Qingtian River.

Ma Wu frowned and said, "Where are you going?"

The boss of the ship replied: "Send a few guests on their way."

Zuo Wu just stepped forward and held down the boat boss. Zhen Jincheng watched the second boatman and the two boatmen from the side. Cao Zhida grabbed the oar and rowed the famous boat straight to the shore.

The boss of the boat didn't panic at all. When the boat came to the shore, it suddenly turned invisible and several people fell into the water on the spot.

The boat boss and a group of boatmen jumped into the water and, relying on the good water properties, trapped Cao Zhida, Zhen Jincheng and others.

Zuo Wugang reacted quickly enough, grabbed Ma Wu, stepped on the rocks at the bottom of the river, and jumped to the river bank.

As soon as their feet landed, dozens of people rushed up from the shore, surrounding Ma Wu and Zuo Wugang.

The leader, wearing a waistcoat and a felt hat, dressed as a laborer, smiled at Ma Wu and said: "Fifth Young Master, did we recognize the wrong person?"

Ma Wudao: "What advice do you have from me?"

The man said: "Advice is out of the question. We want to climb a high branch and make friends with the fifth master. In front of us is the Baixian Building. We have set up a table of wine and invited the fifth master to have a drink. I wonder if the fifth master is willing to show his respect."

Ma Wu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your love. I have something important to do now. I will allow Ma to visit me another day."

The person on the other side sneered: "Fifth Young Master, since you don't appreciate me, don't blame us for offending you!"

Zuo Wugang didn't hesitate, picked up the bamboo pole from the ground and started fighting.

Ma Wu activated his skills, disrupting the enemy's position while assisting Zuo Wugang in the battle.

Over there in the water, Zhen Jincheng tried his best and capsized the boat. Upon seeing this, Cao Zhida shouted: "Hurry up!

Zhen Jincheng said: "We have to go together!"

Cao Zhida dragged the second son of the boat and said, "Quickly leave, go back and report the news!"

Zhen Jincheng climbed up the river bank and ran directly to Xiao Yeci's mansion without joining the battle on the bank.

When they arrived at the house, Zhen Jincheng told the story. Li Banfeng wanted to see what happened. He Yuxiu said: "Old Qi,

You haven't recovered from your illness yet, so stay at home while I go see who dares to cause trouble to Lao Wu. "

Who could the other party be?

He was definitely not a water bandit, nor could he be a local gangster. Who was Ma Wu? He was an ordinary person. Who would dare to offend him?

Isn't this someone from the Customs and Defense Department?

Want to use Ma Wu to lure Li Qi there?

Li Banfeng told He Yuxiu: "As long as we can save Ma Wu, don't fight with them."

He Yuxiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

He Yuxiu had just walked for about ten minutes when the string earrings suddenly reported: "Master, there is movement!"

Li Banfeng followed the sound and walked out the door. When he met the guard at the door, he ran inside in a panic: "Oh no, the Customs and Defense Department sent people to surround our house!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanxin sprinkled a handful of bait into the yard, and swarms of insects came to his feet.

Li Banfeng listened roughly to the movement outside the door. There should be more than 500 people outside.

Xiao Yeci was still calm and asked in a low voice: "What are they going to do?"

Li Banfeng turned around and said, "Yuan Xin, take mother and daughter back to the room. Don't come out without any news from me."

Lu Yuanxin nodded and took Xiao Yeci and Lu Chunying back to the room.

Soon, Xia Shumin entered the yard surrounded by dozens of guards.

"Li Qi, we meet again." Xia Shumin looked at Li Banfeng with a gloomy face.

Li Banfeng raised the brim of his hat, glanced at Xia Shumin, and asked politely: "What's your name?"

Xia Shumin sneered: "You are so arrogant. Now you have the courage to anger me. I suspect that the theft of Honglian is related to you. Please go back to the Customs Office with us for investigation."

Li Banfeng asked back calmly: "What if I don't go?"

Xia Shumin ordered everyone to set up the steam machine gun: "If you resist arrest, I will shoot you on the spot."

"You want to shoot me too? Are you serious?" Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat.

PS: Banfeng has not recovered, this battle is not easy to fight!
