Chapter 606 Lifeline

Li Banfeng repeatedly relived the memories of the past few days and denied the peddler's accusation on the spot: "I have indeed had the feeling of climbing on the clouds, but I have never done anything like arson. I have never done anything like this. Also burned."

The salesman was also surprised: "Who burned you?"

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝔱𝔴𝔨𝔞𝔫.𝔠𝔬𝔪]

Li Banfeng looked grim: "This matter is not as simple as we imagined. I don't know who burned me yet, but it should be the same person who set fire to your house. He may not have wanted to burn me.

Maybe I want to burn you!

This person is very insidious. He has a grudge against you, or has a grudge against your sweetheart, or has an affair with your sweetheart. The two of them want to join forces to harm you.

I think the two of them are more likely to have an affair. Every time I think about Yun Duo, I get on fire. This proves that someone has laid an ambush in advance, specifically for you! "

The salesman thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "When I got to the clouds, I was not burned by fire. They were not targeting me."

After Li Banfeng thought for a moment, his expression became more serious: "Then they are targeting me."

The salesman was even more confused: "Why should I target you?"

Li Banfeng followed the train of thought and gave another reasonable guess: "Because they thought I discovered their conspiracy and wanted to kill someone to silence them, they kept targeting me. When they saw me, they would burn me with fire, and they even complained first." , I told you it was me who set the fire!'

The salesman and Li Banfeng sat side by side, both of them lost in thought.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Ban Feng couldn't help but scratch his itch. The salesman asked: "Why do they have to set fire to you if they want to kill you? Is there no other way?"

Li Banfeng replied seriously: "I think it was to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces."

The salesman nodded slightly and said, "If you are a serious person, I will really believe you."

"I'm a serious person! Why don't you think about it carefully, besides your enemies, who else could set fire to your house?"

This matter really made the salesman ask: "There are only a few people who know the skills of the Cloud Gate, and there are even fewer people who can find the cloud. Tell me first, how did you get up there?"

Li Banfeng answered truthfully: "I couldn't get up at first. After careful observation, I got a clear impression of the clouds."

"Observe? Use your eyes?" The salesman was surprised.

"Yes, look with clear eyes," Li Banfeng pointed to the window, "Isn't that cloud right there? You don't need to open the window, you can see it through the glass."

The salesman looked at the window through which he came in. There was nothing special about the sash or the glass.

But under normal circumstances, Li Banfeng shouldn't have seen this cloud.

The salesman stood by the window, looked out of the window, and asked, "Is this the cloud you saw here?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, the view here is pretty good."

The salesman asked again: "How many times have you seen it?"

"I can't remember this. If I just look at it, I can see it as soon as I raise my eyes. I haven't counted it carefully."

"You can see it as soon as you raise your eyes——" The salesman squinted his eyes and asked again, "Let's not just take a casual look, but how many times have you really looked at it?"

"You don't need to look at it many times. This cloud has basically not changed. Isn't it enough to look at it once?

In terms of serious observation, Li Banfeng really only observed it once.

"When did you see this cloud?"

"dusk."

Li Banfeng recalled a little, nodded repeatedly and said: "It was really a burning cloud, it burned very thoroughly, the weather that day was very sunny -...

Halfway through the words, Li Banfeng frowned: "You can't say that when I saw the burning cloud, I ran to the cloud to light the fire, right?"

"A serious person probably wouldn't, so it's hard for you to tell me."

"Then tell me why I am not serious?"

The salesman sat back next to Li Banfeng and gave Li Banfeng a cigarette: "Do you know what Yunmen Technique is?"

"I don't know!" Li Banfeng replied frankly, "Since it is a technique that I can learn, it should be a technique for traveling or staying at home, right?"

"None of them," the salesman shook his head, "Yunmen's skill is an unbounded skill, that is, it doesn't distinguish between different disciplines.

A technique that everyone can learn regardless of their level of cultivation. "

"There must be many people who know this technique."

"Not many!" The salesman shook his head and said, "Because this technique is too difficult. Many people with extremely high cultivation levels have not been able to learn the Yunmen technique in their entire lives. As for why you learned it by accident, there is probably something here. There are many complicated reasons.”

Li Banfeng lowered his head modestly: "Actually, I didn't learn the Cloud Gate technique. I probably didn't really climb on the clouds. I just used the fake moving technique to move the scenes on the clouds into the room. Your house has been The burning thing must have nothing to do with me.”

"You still don't admit it, do you? I saw you burning down my house yesterday."

"Why should I admit the crime?" Li Banfeng still remembers the details at that time, "When I used the fake moving technique, I only saw white clouds, not flaming clouds."

The salesman nodded and said: "If it were a serious person who didn't see Huo Shaoyun, he would feel that he was in the wrong place. If it were you, if he didn't see Huo Shaoyun, he would probably burn the cloud."

"Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I do something like that?" It's not that Li Banfeng denied it. He really had no memory of the arson.

"You really don't understand Yunmen's skills. There are some things you don't know how to control at all." The salesman took a puff of cigarette and asked another thing, "Why do you insist on learning Yunmen's skills? Are you Do you want to leave a way out or hide your strength?"

Li Banfeng didn't understand what the salesman meant: "Why do you want to hide your combat power?"

"That's right. You only have so much combat power. Why are you hiding it? Are you preparing for promotion?"

Does promotion have anything to do with Yunmen's skills?

Any unexpected gains?

Li Banfeng said directly: "I really should make preparations."

The salesman said happily: "You have three floors?"

"Residence repair is done, but travel repair is not yet available." A truthful and conclusive statement made this slope a little stronger.

The salesman asked: "Don't you want to go above the clouds?"

The salesman deeply agreed with this: "I also think it's stupid. In the past, some people called the clouds above the stars, and some called them Xingdou. I asked you, do you know where the stars and Xingdou are? They all dare to shout so loudly without being ashamed.

In my opinion, above the clouds is not the right way to practice at all. It doesn’t even have a level, so just walking with your eyes closed is obviously unscientific! "

Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly: "I also think this path is unscientific, so I want to learn Yunmen's skills."

"Yunmen's technique is a method, but do you know how to use it?"

"I only heard a few rumors and didn't know any details, so I just wanted to learn the techniques first!" Li Banfeng looked at the salesman sincerely. Po'er had finished setting up and was just waiting to get off the donkey.

"It's still early. To be promoted from the third level above the cloud, whether you go to the above cloud level or the fourth level above the cloud, you need a lot of popularity to move up. You need to accumulate enough popularity first."

The salesman did not follow the slope.

Li Banfeng lowered his eyes, very dissatisfied with the result.

"I have accumulated popularity, and I have almost accumulated it. I don't know how to do the key things behind it. If I use the wrong method and rush to the clouds, won't all my previous efforts be wasted?"

The salesman shook his head slightly: "You are oversimplifying things. If the cloud rises from three to four, it requires a lot of popularity.

Not just a green water bay can solve the problem. "

Li Banfeng shivered.

The salesman smiled and said: "What's wrong, brother, what are you afraid of? You have already become the local god of Green Water Bay.

Do you think I don't know about this? "

Li Banfeng clasped his hands and said with an honest smile: "I never planned to hide it from you. There is nothing we can't say between us brothers."

"Then why didn't you tell me when we last met?"

"I want to say, wasn't it disturbed by your crush at that time?"

The salesman sneered: "Okay, I'll let you pass anyway. Lu Huazi has already reached the third level of the cloud. He has accumulated so much popularity and is just waiting to reach the fourth level of the cloud. Now he has gone to Daogui Ridge to do work. God, the popularity you have worked so hard to earn is enough for you.”

Li Banfeng asked: "Luhuazi is so popular, isn't it enough to be promoted to the fourth level?"

"Enough is enough. He couldn't go up because I didn't recognize his door at that time and didn't give him the entrance powder. After reaching the third level of the clouds, he couldn't find the way and was unwilling to go up to the clouds, so he kept going. Stuck three levels above the cloud,

Although he is on the third level, many cultivators above the clouds can't beat him. It's a pity that he has such a good talent. Disease cultivation is too evil. In order to practice, Lu Huazi often spreads diseases. I want to kill him. But when he was about to take action, he did another great thing. "

Li Banfeng thought for a while: "What good thing can Lu Huazi do?"

"A plague spread in Neizhou and Puozhou, and many people died. The plague was cured by Green Flower Seeds." At this point, after finishing his cigarette, Li Banfeng gave the peddler a new one.

The salesman recalled the situation at that time: "This matter is very difficult to handle. Pay compensation and make profit. We owe nothing to each other. I have to be fair in everything I do. Luhuazi saved Puozhou. I can't kill him, but I can't either." Let him run around,

But no matter where he went, there was a condition. He had to beg all the way across the land. As long as three people gave him alms, he had to return to his residence. "

"What if there aren't three people?"

"He will spread a blight."

Li Banfeng recalled the experience of Lanyang Village: "At that time, Lv Shuigong went to Lanyang Village to beg in order to spread the disease in Lanyang Village, but Lanyang Village is his own territory. What was his purpose of doing this?"

The salesman shook his head: "I haven't thought about this until now."

Li Banfeng asked again: "One more thing, the spread of the disease depends on the population density. Why doesn't he go to a city with a large population? Lanyang Village is so remote, the disease may not be able to spread."

"According to the contract, if he goes to a city, he has to pass through a city. There are many people in the city, so he will definitely get three alms, and there will be no chance of spreading the disease. This is the beauty of the contract," said the salesman. After turning around, he said to Li Banfeng,

"If you want to learn Yunmen's skills, I can teach them to you. We might as well sign a contract. I'm not trying to restrict you. I'm also doing this to help you gain popularity. There is a very popular place in Puluozhou called Desong Cliff is a good place for spiritual practice. You can go there and be the Earth God for three years."

"No!" Li Banfeng felt sick to his stomach when he heard about Desongya, "Why do you ask me to be the earth god in Dexiu's land? Where are their original earth gods?"

The salesman sighed: "The former local god of Desongya was named Wang Zhengde. He was a man of great virtue.

Perhaps because he was old and his mind was a little unclear, he went to Heishipo and opened a lecture hall, specializing in morals and recruiting many disciples.

Last month, Tang Shijiang couldn't bear it anymore and asked Wang Zhengde to leave immediately, but he didn't listen. Later, Tang Shijiang went to persuade him. As you know, Tang Shijiang was a stupid person and couldn't speak, so he didn't speak much. "

Li Banfeng didn't understand very well: "How can he persuade others if he doesn't say much?"

The salesman gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Tang Shijiang, a good guy, directly beat Wang Zhengde to death. Even if he could breathe, Desong Cliff would not be in such chaos.

Now that the Earth God is gone, a group of virtue cultivators are fighting for the position of the Earth God, and they are in chaos at Desong Cliff.

I think a truly virtuous person does not lie in Taoism, but in his state of mind. If you go to Desong Cliff with this state of mind,

I can definitely convince the public, just believe me——"

"Don't believe me, I'm not suitable," Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Pan is suitable. Pan Dehai himself is an upright local god. He has qualifications, strength, and experience. This position belongs to him."

"As soon as Wang Zhengde died, Pan Dehai went to Desong Cliff. He was beaten for nearly a month and all his old teeth were knocked out. He just returned to Haiqiling to recuperate yesterday.

So, think about this again...

Li Banfeng squatted on the ground: "I won't go to Desong Cliff. There is no need to discuss this matter!"

The salesman squatted next to Li Banfeng: "Brother, I'm doing this for your own good. Wang Zhengde also praised his popularity a lot. He also wanted to reach the fourth level of the cloud, but he couldn't find the way and couldn't reach it.

I'm going to tell you this trick now. If you go and eat up Wang Zhengde's popularity, you'll gain a lot of weight in one bite. How can you not make a lot of money? "

"I don't like the realm of Dexiu."

,

Li Banfeng sniffled, tears welling up in his eyes: "I'm at such a critical moment, and if you don't help me, where is our brotherhood? Where is our brotherhood?"

"I remember the love and friendship, but when doing business, we can't just talk about friendship. The key is to negotiate a good price.

Pay attention to a fair transaction and do not deceive others. "

As soon as he heard the words "tongsou no deception", the tears that were about to flow were taken back by Li Banfeng.

No wonder the salesman never gets off his donkey. Sun Tiecheng once said that the salesman has created the unique skill of not being deceived by children and old men, and has restraint on foolish practices.

"If you don't help me pull him down, I will realize it myself." Li Banfeng stared at the cloud in the sky again.

The salesman picked up the truck and said, "Brother, you can realize it yourself, but don't always think about burning down my house.

You get another cloud. "

"Are there any suitable clouds?"

"Yes!" The salesman looked at the sky. "There are many clouds in the sky in Puzhou. Some of them you can see, but most of them you can't.

Among the clouds that can be seen, some remain motionless, which have an owner, and some are ever-changing, which have no owner.

You can grab the clouds that have owners, and you can collect the clouds that don't have owners. As long as you don't burn my house,

The sky is vast and the sea is vast, let you gallop along. "

As the salesman was about to leave with his cart, Li Banfeng thought of another important matter: "I want to find water snake. Where should I go?"

"Hay or fresh grass?"

"Just hay."

"I have one for twenty oceans."

The salesman was so reliable that Li Banfeng looked excited: "How much do you have?"

"More than thirty plants."

"I want them all!"

Li Banfeng gave the money, and the salesman handed over the goods, pushed the truck, walked out of the window, landed smoothly on the ground, shook the rattle, and continued to push the cart to sell.

Looking at the salesman's retreating figure, Li Banfeng smiled secretly.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me Yunmen’s skills, my wife must know some of them.

"Are these enough?"

"It's enough. There will be a lot left after the rope is made. This is a very precious medicinal material and will definitely be of great use in the future."

"Baby lady, do you know the skills of Yunmen?"

The lady thought for a while: "I have heard some rumors before, it seems that it is a technique that can be performed on the clouds."

Li Banfeng was greatly disappointed: "Even our Abi knows about this matter, but my wife has only heard some rumors?"

The record player laughed: "My dear husband, you underestimate our Ah Bi. He is a scholar in Huiye, a top-notch figure in the literary field. He may have read more books than all our family members combined."

"Hmph!" The judge's pen shook at Li Banfeng's waist.

"But he can't remember the technical details."

"Why does my husband want to learn Yunmen's skills?"

"In order to be promoted in the future, dear lady, I don't want to be above the clouds, I want to be as high as the fourth level in the clouds."

The record player was stunned for a while: "My lord, there is also a rumor that there are four levels above the clouds. I have seen people claiming to be above three levels above the clouds, but there is no way to verify whether it is true or not.

It is true that some people want to avoid the clouds and continue to practice on the clouds, but it is said that this requires special means to assist. There are different opinions on the specific means, and it is difficult for me to distinguish. In short, this is not the right way to practice. I still don’t want it. Overthink it. "

The lady is taking the path above the clouds, and is not familiar with the path to break through the fourth level of the clouds.

Hong Ying's situation was the same as the lady's. She didn't even believe that there was a cloud on the fourth floor.

Judge Bi knows best. He may have really taken this path, but he can't remember it.

Honglian may know more, but she pretends to have forgotten it, and Li Banfeng has nothing to do with her.

what to do?

Do you have to explore on your own?

Or just bite the bullet and go to Desong Cliff to become the local head god.

It is too early to think about this now. The home repair has just reached the third level of the cloud, and the travel repair is still on the second level. Li Banfeng has almost collected the popularity of the various regions. It is still unknown when he can gather the popularity of the fourth level.

Let's wait for my wife to make the rope and rescue Xiao Pang.

Two days later, the rope was completed.

A yellowish hemp rope, three fingers thick. Li Banfeng didn't see anything special about it, but my wife worked hard on this rope, and every detail was arranged very carefully.

Li Banfeng didn't go to Mazhu Village this time. He always used the dark bridge cannon in one place, and he was afraid of arousing suspicion.

Li Banfeng carried his wife out of the portable residence. His wife controlled the dark bridge cannon and projected two overlapping shadows on the boundary.

"Sir, be careful when using the rope. If you feel something is wrong, throw it away immediately.

Get out of the wormhole quickly. Whether Qin Tianjiu can be saved depends on his luck. Sir, don't let yourself be implicated."

Li Banfeng agreed, took the rope, and walked into the shadow.

A puff of dust fell, and Li Banfeng entered the wormhole. After walking for more than ten seconds, he saw the white crane first.

The white crane stood on one leg beside the dark bridge, with its slender neck bent backwards and its long beak inserted into its wings.

He was sleeping.

Li Banfeng passed the white crane silently and walked forward for a while.

Always walking to the end of the dark bridge, Li Banfeng didn't see Qin Tianjiu.

Where did this guy run to?

The visibility in the wormhole was extremely low. Li Banfeng touched the wire earrings, trying to find Qin Tianjiu's location by sound.

He could vaguely hear some breathing sounds, but he couldn't be sure if it was Qin Tianjiu.

In desperation, Li Banfeng shouted: "Qin Tianjiu?"

This voice echoed in the wormhole for a long time.

The white crane woke up, stretched its neck, looked around for a moment, turned its head, and looked at Li Banfeng with one eye.

This white crane's perception is too strong.

Li Banfeng was considering whether to continue calling Qin Tianjiu. If the white crane took Qin Tianjiu hostage,

what should he do?

While thinking, the white crane suddenly spoke: "Little brother, come quickly, someone is looking for you!"

Qin Tianjiu walked from the darkness to the dark bridge. He was thinner than before, looked around with deep eye sockets, and shook his head and said: "Senior, who is looking for me?"

The white crane did not speak, and Li Banfeng responded: "Little Fatty, it's me."

Qin Tianjiu was very excited. He wanted to call him Brother Qi, but he didn't dare to speak. He knew that he couldn't easily expose Li Qi's identity here.

Li Banfeng stared at the road under his feet, his sight slowly extended outward from his feet, using the skill of Golden Eyes to slowly find the gap between the dark bridge and the wormhole.

It is not difficult to determine the location of the gap. Near the gap, because of the influx of light, the visual brightness and darkness will change to a certain extent.

The thick hemp rope crawled like a snake. After a moment of testing, the rope suddenly flattened and widened, and like a piece of paper, it crawled out of the gap.

The rope has a certain perception ability, but it does not recognize Qin Tianjiu, so it can only crawl towards a living target.

It crawled to the feet of Baihe.

Baihe looked at the rope on the ground and was silent for more than ten seconds.

He hid aside and said to Qin Tianjiu: "Little brother, this is to save you, go quickly."

Qin Tianjiu bowed deeply to Baihe. As soon as he grabbed the rope, the man in white suddenly rushed over and shouted loudly: "Don't leave yet, take us with you, don't leave yet!"

Baihe stopped the man in white and prevented him from getting close to Xiaopang.

The man in white shouted, "My Lord, let this little brother take us with us. We have never treated him badly."

The white crane shook his head. No matter how the man in white cried, he would not let him get close.

Li Banfeng followed his wife's instructions and slowly pulled the rope.

Xiao Pang came to the gap with the rope. Under the pull of the rope, Xiao Pang's skinny body was slowly flattened.

"Cough cough!" Xiao Pang, who could not bear the severe pain, coughed out a mouthful of blood foam. After a while, he even had no strength to cough. The whole person was pressed like a piece of paper and slowly slid into the gap.

He was not squeezed by the gap of the dark bridge, but by the special magic on the rope. After entering the dark bridge, the magic was lifted. Xiao Pang was not seriously injured, but only broke a few bones. This was the best result in the plan.

Bai He was still outside the dark bridge. He still looked at Li Banfeng with one eye: "My friend, if you still have the energy to help us, we will never forget your kindness. If you can't save us, take this brother away. Take care of yourself."

Li Banfeng looked at Bai He, turned around and helped Xiao Pang up, walked to the end of the dark bridge, and a piece of ash rose up.

The two walked out of the wormhole together.

In front of him was a swamp. Xiao Pang rushed into the muddy water and drank two mouthfuls.

In the past few days, he could only eat moss on the ground to quench his thirst. Although the muddy water in the swamp was so dirty, it became very sweet in Xiao Pang's mouth.

Li Banfeng pulled him up and handed him a kettle.

Xiao Pang held the kettle, his knees trembling a little.

Li Banfeng frowned and said: "If you dare to kneel, I will throw you back."

Xiao Pang didn't dare to kneel, but tears still flowed down.

"Seventh Brother————"

He cried with a grin, and cried for a long time without speaking.

How could you do this? We only have this one chance, why did you just let him go?

We have been trapped here for so long: can we still get out? Is this the end of our lives? "

"Stop howling!" The white crane flapped its wings and slapped the man in white.

The man in white lowered his head and saw a rope squirming on the ground.

This was the rope that had just rescued Qin Tianjiu.

Li Qi came back and released the rope from the dark bridge again.

The white crane looked at the man in white: "You go first."

The man in white wiped his tears, grabbed the rope, hesitated for a moment, and gave it to the white crane.

"My lord, you go first."

"No need to push, everyone can go out, you go first." The white crane let the man in white go into the gap first.

Can everyone really get out?

The white crane couldn't say for sure, maybe only one person could be rescued on the other side, but he still gave the opportunity to the man in white.

Soon, the rope stretched out again. Bai He breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to bite the rope, but after thinking for a moment, he turned back and shouted, "Girl, come on, grab this rope."

Li Banfeng admired this Bai He very much. He was trapped in the wormhole for two whole years. He finally waited for a chance to get out, but he could still give the opportunity to others. There are too few people like this.

A woman came over: "Senior, you go first."

Bai He shook his head and said, "You go, I have a high level of cultivation. Even if I can't get out, I won't die if I stay here for a few more years."

The woman wanted to refuse, but Bai He urged her, "Go quickly, the people who came to rescue us also took a big risk, don't waste time here!"

The woman said no more and quickly grabbed the rope.

Although she looked much more haggard, Li Banfeng could still recognize the woman at a glance. Whether it was her appearance, figure or voice, Li Banfeng was very familiar with her.

Teacher Song.

Why did you run into the wormhole?

PS: I think Bai He is a person who can get along.
