Chapter 571: Old Man, Don't Get Excited!

Guan Zhengzhang, Zou Maoqing, Cao Dayong.

The three people were in three rooms and were questioned by Li Banfeng, Juji and Hong Ying respectively.

Li Banfeng was in the main room: "What is your rank in the Ferry Gang?"

Guan Zhengzhang replied: "I am the head tracker who pulls fibers. The trackers usually don't have to go into the water, that is, they don't have to do business, but if something happens, they have to find a way to drag the boat out."

The chief tracker, Guan Zhengzhang's status is not low.

"Who has higher status between you and Du Wenming?"

In fact, this issue is obvious. Guan Zhengzhang did not dare to mention Du Wenming's name, which shows that Du Wenming's status is higher than Guan Zhengzhang.

Li Banfeng's purpose in asking this question was to see how much restrictions Du Wenming had on the members of the Ferry Gang. At Guan Zhengzhang's level, he should be able to tell some inside information.

Unexpectedly, Guan Zhengzhang did not dare to mention anything related to Du Wenming.

In every sentence he said, words such as Director Du, Boss Du, Brother Du, and that person's surname were not allowed to appear. Guan Zhengzhang did not even dare to mention such terms.

Li Banfeng asked: "If you mention these things, will you explode on the spot?"

Guan Zhengzhang nodded and did not dare to say more.

Li Banfeng took out the information Shen Jingye gave him: "You just said that stretchers don't participate in the business.

But as far as I know, some time ago, someone sent a group of ghost servants from Prozhou, and you sold them through your hands. "

Guan Zhengzhang lowered his head and said, "This is his order, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"Whose order? Du Wenming?"

Guan Zhengzhang nodded repeatedly: "The gang is in need of money recently, and business on the black market is not easy to do. Good ghost servants cannot be sold at a good price. There is a lot of business, so I can only help you."

"When did the Ferry Gang start to be short of money?"

"Everything was fine when there was no Ferry Gang. It was because of hard times that the Ferry Gang came into being."

"What do you mean by this? Did you know Du Wenming before there was the Ferry Gang?'

Guan Zhengzhang lowered his head and said: "I am still from Xuehuapu. Xuehuapu formed the ferry gang with those foreigners because of lack of money."

"Have you been to Puzhou?"

"Been there, we went together." He said this halfway, because there was a name that Guan Zhengzhang couldn't pronounce. What he meant was that he went with Du Wenming.

"How many residences does the person who went with you have in Yuezhou?"

Guan Zhengzhang lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Banfeng asked again: "You just need to tell me the most crucial part, and find a way to tell me."

Guan Zhengzhang thought for a long time, but out of caution, he chose to remain silent.

Li Banfeng took out the bloody pendulum: "If you don't listen, we have to find another way to communicate."

The record player was in the second room and asked: "Did you take medicine or was it a trick? How did Du Wenming cast the spell on you? Tell me the truth, and I might be able to help you break the spell."

"We don't have any spells on us," Zou Maoqing looked at the record player and his tongue was spinning as he spoke.

The record player used steam to scald Zou Maoqing's body into a scalding bubble: "I just asked you to say the spell, but I didn't ask you to mention Du Wenming. Leave yourself a way to survive, isn't that good?"

Zou Maoqing endured the severe pain and shook his head repeatedly: "There is really no spell, we, don't..."

Hong Ying was in the third room, piercing Cao Dayong's left shoulder with her sword: "You are going to die anyway, don't you want to die quickly?

Just tell the truth, does Du Wenming still have a place to stay in Yuezhou? If so, just tell me the address. The more you tell me, the faster it will explode and the quicker you will die. "

Cao Dayong didn't want to die, so he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

Hong Ying smiled and said: "I really admire your strength. I will pick out your bones and see how much energy is inside."

The three people interrogated for two hours and found out nine dens in total, and the record player found out five.

Li Banfeng and Hong Ying asked two questions each.

It's not that these three people are tough and refuse to tell, it's that as long as they take the initiative to tell the location of the den,

It will explode.

The record player had interrogation skills and went around dozens of times, getting Zou Maoqing to name three more addresses. Li Banfeng put the nine addresses together and compared them. Four of them were duplicates, and the remaining five were repeated. The addresses are actually not the same.

The three people were arrested just to check each other's confessions to avoid being misled. I didn't expect this to be the case.

Which of these five dens is valuable? Jingjie is not sure, nor is Hong Ying. Since sending Lu Huazi to Daogui Ridge, Du Wenming has become the most difficult opponent Li Banfeng has ever encountered.

With no other option, Li Banfeng decided to walk through it all.

The first den is in a residential building, the closest to the city. It is a residence of more than 50 square meters.

This area was obviously not suitable for placing large equipment. Li Banfeng concluded that some key information should be stored here.

The residence has one bedroom and one living room, with a very compact layout. As soon as he entered the door, Gloves discovered several hidden compartments.

There's it in the closet, there's it under the floor, it's in the walls.

The hidden compartment is small in size and empty inside.

Li Banfeng arrived late. Du Wenming should have been to this den and moved everything away.

The second den is in a warehouse in Baiyuan District.

In this warehouse, there is a warehouse that Du Wenming has rented for a long time. Entering the warehouse, Li Banfeng found several boxes of radio equipment. Most of these equipment were unopened and should have been purchased by Du Wenming just now.

There is nothing sinful about having a scientific hobby, and besides, these equipments are obtained through legal channels.

Gloves didn't find anything valuable in these devices, which means that these devices have not been modified and there are no good things like Tianxin Stone in them.

Du Wenming hasn't had time to move the things in the warehouse yet. Maybe these things really have no value worth moving.

The third den is a basement.

This basement is in a village in the city. It was rented before and was later rented by Du Wenming.

Entering the basement, although he found no useful information, Li Banfeng saw the purpose of the basement.

This is a conference room with a long table, leather chairs, white porcelain cups, and a kettle. Just seeing these things makes Li Banfeng sleepy.

The Ferry Gang should often hold meetings here, but Du Wenming will definitely not be in the mood for meetings in the future, and this conference room is basically useless.

The first three dens were of little value. Li Banfeng dusted off his trouser legs and continued on his way.

Thanks to myself as a traveling cultivator, if I were a lazy cultivator, even thinking about the locations of the five dens would make me feel physically and mentally exhausted, let alone walking through them all in person.

The fourth den is a fish pond.

Du Wenming built a fish pond and hired a worker to raise fish here.

According to regulations, Du Wenming's position strictly prohibits commercial activities. Is fish farming a violation of regulations?

Not really. I learned from the fish pond workers that Du Wenming never raised fish for sale, just for fun.

Even if this matter was against the rules, Li Banfeng didn't bother to care. He was interested in this fish pond because the gloves sensed something good.

At night, after the workers got off work, Li Ban sneaked into the fish pond and, judging by his gloves, dug out something very valuable from the mud at the bottom of the pond.

This valuable thing is money.

A total of eight million in cash was sealed in a waterproof bag and buried at the bottom of the pond. The money was for emergency use, and Du Wenming did not have time to take it away.

"A Tao, we ran around all day and we got this little money?"

"Keep it, it's better than nothing. Isn't there still a place for it?"

The last hideout was in a factory in the outer suburbs.

This factory produces cement boards. After arriving at the factory, the workers had already left work. They walked around the factory and found nothing. Li Banfeng couldn't even think of what the factory was used for.

One thing has a feeling, it's asking for a bowl.

There is a dark dimension here.

Behind the factory building, Li Banfeng found the location of the dark dimension space. He turned the spoon in the bowl and opened the entrance to the dark dimension space.

This is the most closed type of dark-dimensional space. The outside cannot see the inside, and the inside cannot see the outside. They are completely isolated from each other.

Entering the space, Li Banfeng used the firelight of the projector to see the entire space clearly.

Spectrometer, resonator, interferometer——

For a moment, he suspected that he was in the wrong place. He felt like he was in Yu Yaoming's laboratory again.

The layout of the equipment here is almost exactly the same as in the laboratory.

Finally found the core hideout, which is Du Wenming's own laboratory!

But where is the power source for this laboratory?

As far as Li Banfeng knew, there were several devices in this laboratory that consumed very alarming amounts of electricity.

"A Tao, is there anything valuable here?"

"Yes, it seems to be very valuable!" Ah Tao was estimating the price, but he couldn't give a specific amount at the moment.

"All the good things are in these machines?" Li Banfeng thought the situation was exactly the same as in the last laboratory.

Glove shook his index finger: "Not in the machine. These machines are similar to those in the laboratory, but there are no good things in them."

Key components may have been taken away, or they may not have been installed.

It's a good thing that it's not installed. It proves that Du Wenming hasn't come back yet. If it is taken away, this place will be in vain.

After passing through various experimental equipment, Li Banfeng first saw a wall, and then a door.

Are there walls and doors?

Du Wenming has decorated this dark dimension space.

There is almost no dust on the cement wall, which proves that he has been here not long ago and is diligent in cleaning. What is on the other side of the door?

It took Glove ten minutes to unlock the door and push open the heavy iron door. Li Banfeng saw a deep corridor with iron doors of exactly the same style lined up on both sides of the corridor.

The gloves opened the first iron door. Behind the iron door were two rows of iron cabinets. Each iron cabinet was about the same size as the trash can at the elevator entrance. There was a screen on the cabinet, and various parameters were displayed on the screen.

A layman would think that this is advanced experimental equipment. Li Banfeng had seen this thing when he was in college. This is a DC battery pack, which is the power source of the laboratory.

Judging from the parameters, the power of these battery packs was discharged. This is probably because Du Wenming exhausted the stored power before leaving.

Leaving the battery room, Gloves opened the next room, which was the power distribution room.

Going to the next room, Li Banfeng entered the bedroom. There was a bed in the bedroom with bedding still on the bed.

This should be Du Wenming's residence.

The projector suddenly spoke: "Here are my friends."

Li Banfeng looked along the firelight and saw a ceiling lamp on the ceiling of the bedroom, and a camera next to the ceiling lamp.

The projector and camera looked at each other for a moment, and then said to Li Banfeng: "My friend said that a middle-aged man once lived here. Last night, this middle-aged man was taken away."

"Taken away by whom?"

"He said he was the owner of this place."

The owner here is Du Wenming, so who lives here?

"Can you let me see what that middle-aged man looks like?"

The projector communicated with the camera for a moment: "Qi Dao, the camera is powered off and there is no way to display the image."

In fact, without showing the image, Li Banfeng could guess that Yu Yaoming originally lived here, and Du Wenming imprisoned him here.

After the battle in the laboratory, Du Wenming realized that the situation was not good and took Yu Yaoming away.

Except for Yu Yaoming, according to normal circumstances, Du Wenming would take away everything of value.

Since they were all taken away, why did the gloves say they had something valuable?

Li Banfeng returned to the corridor and checked each room one by one.

He saw warehouses, toilets, machine rooms and bathrooms.

There is also a spacious dance room with mirrors on the walls, a floor dedicated to dance, and various lighting fixtures on the roof.

With the outside world almost completely isolated, it was hard for Li Banfeng to imagine how Du Wenming could complete such a large project.

He definitely didn't do it himself. There must be a work repairman helping him, and he was a very high-level work repairman, probably a member of Seolhwapo.

It is precisely because of this workman that Du Wenming can be dressed up exactly like a puppet.

There is a cabinet in the dance room. The cabinet is unlocked and contains a lot of dance teaching materials.

From a purely value perspective, these teaching materials are definitely not precious, but for dance cultivators,

These may be equivalent to his martial arts secrets.

Li Banfeng really noticed one of the teaching materials, which explained string puppet dance.

There really is such a dance.

Li Banfeng put away these dance teaching materials, and he might be able to find ways to deal with Du Wenming in them.

Next to the dance room is the data room. The data room is empty, with nothing left.

Li Banfeng no longer had any hope in this den. When he reached the end of the corridor, he saw the last iron door.

Gloves looked at the door lock: "Master, this lock is difficult to open. Please wait for me for a while."

It was an ordinary door lock, with no features visible on the label. Even after working on it for half an hour, I still couldn't open it.

He said there was something valuable behind the iron gate. What was it? Why did Du Wenming leave things here?

"Brother, don't open the door. I'll just go through the wall."

"Master, don't be reckless, you don't know what's going on on the other side of the wall.'

"Then I'll open a way first."

"Master, this is someone else's property, especially if it is an unnamed place. We should be more cautious. If you open a road and the whole house collapses, we will suffer a big loss!"

Click~

After waiting for ten minutes, the door lock finally opened.

Li Banfeng opened the door carefully, maximizing his ability to seek good luck and avoid disaster, and carefully sensed the danger on the other side.

The space outside the door seems to be much larger than inside.

There was indeed danger on the other side of the door, but it was within a controllable range. When Li Banfeng opened the door completely, he saw the two treasures and understood why Du Wenming didn't take them away.

These two treasures are too big.

Two spheres with a diameter of more than ten meters were suspended in the space outside the door and were slowly rotating.

They rotate on their own and also orbit each other, as if they are two planets floating in the universe.

Li Banfeng couldn't tell what the material of the two spheres was. They looked like stones, but they still shone with some metallic light.

It's not reflection, it's the two spheres themselves that are shining with faint light. Silks of light are like layers of veins, slowly sliding over the spheres.

"Is this the baby you're talking about?"

"Yes, the boss!"

"Come, let's take him into our home."

"You can't fit it in, how big is our house!"

As soon as Mittens finished saying this, Li Banfeng suddenly heard the rapid sound of the whistle.

Woo, woo!

The old man is awake?

I was so anxious when I just woke up.

Gloves reminded: "Master, we don't have to do anything with good things. The old man is quick.

His hands are also big. If you move forward, I think the old man can take them away by himself. "

Li Banfeng took two steps towards the two balls. The balls were like magnets, attracting Li Banfeng towards them.

Where does this power come from?

Even if these two balls are really magnets, Li Banfeng is not made of iron, so why can he be attracted to them?

He used his own strength to resist the power of the ball, and cautiously took two steps towards the ball. Still about three meters away from the ball, Li Banfeng stopped.

We can't get any closer. If we get any closer, we may not be able to come back.

If this were a land cultivator, he would have been sucked onto the ball.

Glove saw something stuck on the ball. That thing was valuable and should be made of gold.

It also flew towards the ball, and its body was about to lose control.

Li Banfeng grabbed his glove and dragged it back with all his strength.

"What are you going to do?"

"Master, I got something good, you should take a look first——"

Before Glove could reveal the good thing, the two balls suddenly became smaller and then disappeared.

The space became empty and dark, and Li Banfeng heard a long whistle.

Woo~

The whistle was mixed with a little laughter.

Hahaha!

Gloves shook his index finger and said to Li Banfeng: "The old man has succeeded, so we can't go back empty-handed. This is what we picked up just now. Master, please take a look, it's pure gold."

Li Banfeng took a piece of gold from his glove. Judging from its shape and size, it looked like a leaf.

Gold leaf?

No, it’s not leaves, there are patterns on them, it’s a tree.

There is also a pattern on the trunk, which seems to be two eyes.

What kind of tree has eyes?

birch!

This is a badge, probably the badge of the Birch Priory.

Why does this badge appear on the orb?

Li Banfeng left the dark dimension, walked out of the factory, found a patch of grass nearby, hid the key, and entered his home.

"Old man, are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake!" the resident replied cheerfully.

Li Banfeng asked: "What treasure did you meet just now that makes you so happy?"

"Two pieces of Tianxin Stone!"

"That was the Tianxin Stone just now?" This is completely different from the Tianxin Stone in Li Banfeng's imagination.

"Yes, those are two complete Tianxin stones, complete!"

"Don't those parts I brought back earlier also contain the Tianxin Stone?"

"Those are just gravel, far from it. Back then, Chu Shaoqiang was able to send Daogui Ridge to Sage Peak.

This complete Tianxin stone is used. "

Li Banfeng recalled the appearance of the two balls: "These things are too big."

The old man sighed: "Thankfully there are two pieces. It would be troublesome if there was only one piece.'

Gloves laughed: "Old man, you are too greedy. If you have a piece of it, wouldn't it be a big profit?"

"This is not a matter of making more or less. The suction forces of two Tianxin Stones cancel each other out. You can still stand next to the Tianxin Stone. If there is only one Tianxin Stone, you will definitely be sucked to the stone. It will not be easy to save you then. "

"Sucked on a stone?" Li Banfeng listened in a daze.

The record player understood it a little better: "The suction the old man mentioned should be the gravity mentioned in other states."

"Can the gravitational force of two spheres be so strong?" According to the gravity formula, gravity and mass are related to distance.

How dense must these two spheres be to produce such a strong gravitational force?

There was too much information, and Li Banfeng needed to clear his mind. After thinking for more than half an hour, Li Banfeng figured out the entire incident.

After Du Wenming kidnapped Yu Yaoming, he placed him in this hideout and rearranged the laboratory according to Yu Yaoming's requirements.

Key parts in the laboratory were missing because these parts were mixed with Tianxin Stone. Since the material was not easy to obtain, Du Wenming chose to steal it from Yu Yaoming's laboratory.

wrong.

He has two complete Tianxin stones, why not just use local materials and make the parts directly?

It will probably take a long time to make the parts, but going to the laboratory to steal the parts is a big risk.

In fact, Du Wenming's operation failed. He failed to steal parts from the laboratory.

Instead, he was injured and was in a very disadvantageous situation, with his identity about to be exposed at any time.

He did not use the Tianxin Stone in the dark dimension as a material for making parts. The only reasonable explanation is that the two complete Tianxin Stones were too expensive.

Moreover, these two Tianxin Stones have other uses. If they can move Daogui Ridge, they can certainly move this dark dimension space.

The clues are connected.

Du Wenming wanted to use the Tianxin Stone to move the den, but he failed, and the birch tree badge on his body was sucked away by the Tianxin Stone.

Why didn't he succeed?

"The only ones who can use Tianxin Stone to move a piece of land are Gongxiu, right?'

The old man thought for a while: "Cultivation practitioners from other Taoist sects can also try, but unless their cultivation level is ridiculously high, they may not be able to succeed even if they try thousands of times."

Du Wenming tried it, but it obviously didn't work.

So what does he do now?

He is from Seolhwapo and also from the Birch Hermitage. At this time, he should find help to go to 7

A helper who can move the laboratory.

In an office building that was not yet under construction, Du Wenming was at the stairwell on the 28th floor, looking at a man on the stairs.

The man held a caliper in his hand and half a cigarette in his mouth. He was half a floor away from Du Wenming and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Du Wenming said: "There is something I need your help with, which is my experimental base. I want to-·

Before he finished speaking, the man waved his hand: "I don't remember what experimental base you have. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it later."

Du Wenming walked up two steps: "My current situation is very dangerous, I don't have time..."

The man signaled him to stop immediately and not go up any further: "I know you are in danger, so it is best not to come to me during this period."

Du Wenming flexed his toes on the stairs: "Is it appropriate to talk to me like this?"

The man rubbed the caliper in his hand: "I'm not from the Ferry Gang, nor from Xuehuapu. I think it's appropriate to talk to you no matter what you say."

Du Wenming smiled, I just want to use our friendship in exchange for trust and help.

The man shook his head: "I don't trust you. I have already received the news that you are silencing me everywhere. Three people have already disappeared.

If I went to your laboratory, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back alive. "

"I don't know where you heard the rumors. I didn't silence them. I haven't killed anyone in the past two days." Du Wenming took two more steps up.

Bang!

Two floor tiles protruded from the stairs and got stuck on Du Wenming's right foot.

The man warned again: "Don't go up. Didn't I tell you that I don't trust you?"

I can promise that I won't report you. Get out of here. "

Du Wenming lowered his face and said, "What if I don't leave?"

The man put the two caliper feet together: "Do you really want to hit here?"

Du Wenming was silent for a moment and gave up on using force.

He was not afraid of the construction worker, but this office building was located in the city. If something happened, Du Wenming would not be able to escape.

Du Wenming took Yu Yaoming away, and the man let out a sigh of relief. He carefully checked all the organs in the building, for fear that Du Wenming would come back again.

After checking the eighth floor, the man suddenly heard footsteps.

He turned back suddenly, turning the caliper rapidly in his hand,

Footsteps were approaching. It was not Du Wenming, but a middle-aged man with a thin build, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beardless chin, and a beard on his upper lip.

The man gave a false alarm, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked: "Boss Lu, why are you here?"

Boss Lu was holding a book: "The book you ordered in my store has arrived, and I delivered it to you.

Walking on the street, Yu Yaoming's stomach kept growling: "At least ask your friends for some money, we don't even have money for food!"

Du Wenming sneered: "Didn't you see his attitude just now? Don't you have any dignity if you still care about his money under such circumstances?"

Yu Yaoming shook his head and said: "You don't have a single copper, you can't afford a bowl of noodles, how can you talk about dignity?"

"I have plenty of money, I just don't want to risk it. I'll take you there now, and you can take as much as you can."

Du Wenming took Yu Yaoming to the fish pond: "Can you swim?"

Yu Yaoming shook his head.

"Then wait on the shore, but don't run around.'

Du Wenming got into the water by himself, and after a while, he walked out of the fish pond covered in mud.

"Where's the money?"

Du Wenming caught two fish from the pond: "The money is gone, but we still have fish to eat."

Back at his residence, Li Banfeng lay on the sofa and looked at the calendar quietly.

By tomorrow night, the colorant will have faded, and Du Wenming can go back to work directly.

He has a lot of things to explain, but he can definitely explain it. He lost two Tianxin Stones, and he must be very distressed. After feeling distressed, he still has to fight me desperately.

After fighting so many times, it doesn't matter if he fights a few more times, but he was forced to this point and he was able to escape unscathed, which made Li Banfeng very dissatisfied.

At least he can't be allowed to take his job back, and he can't be allowed to use his official status to target him. There is still one day left, what else can be done?

The phone rang. It was Tang Changfa.

"Shopkeeper, those foreigners are here again. I think they are mysterious and don't look like they want to do business. They seem to be looking for trouble again."

Looking for trouble on the black market, is this another trap?

Li Banfeng looked at the golden badge and thought for a moment.

They have set up so many traps, should I cooperate and take advantage of them once?

PS: These two complete Tianxin stones will be of great use!
