Chapter 95 Boundary Line
Waigou, Mazhu Mountain.
Li Banfeng, wearing a top hat and a big beard, squatted in the bamboo forest, silently looking at a clearing in front of him.
This clearing was covered with thick dust, and no grass grew. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing special.
A butterfly flew to the clearing, and when it was about to reach the center of the clearing, it suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
A rabbit walked to the clearing, jumped forward two steps, and turned into a piece of smoke in the air, drifting away with the wind.
A bamboo leaf flew across the clearing with the wind, and also turned into smoke.
A mosquito hummed and sang, and was chased across the clearing by Li Banfeng, and also turned into smoke, a small ball of smoke.
Li Banfeng folded a paper airplane and threw it across the border, and it also turned into smoke.
He picked up a stone and threw it over, and it also turned into smoke.
A dark cloud passed by, and a few raindrops fell.
There were bangs on the border, and even raindrops that fell on the border would quickly evaporate.
Mazhu Mountain is located at the border of Yaowanggou and Lushuiwan.
If you take the train, you have to go to Lushuiwan first, then to Kudaikan, and then to Yaowanggou.
But in actual geographical location, Yaowanggou, Kudaikan, and Lushuiwan are adjacent to each other and have borders, but the border between Lushuiwan and Yaowanggou is very remote.
Why go to Lushuiwan?
Why not go to Kudaikan?
This is due to the fact that Li Banfeng has read a lot of newspapers recently.
Kudaikan is also a town, which is nearly half the size of Yaowanggou.
Not only is the place small, but the environment of Kudaikan is very special.
There are more medicine cultivators in Yaowanggou, but there are also many cultivators from other sects.
There are generally only two types of people who can live in Kudaikan for a long time, one is Huanxiu, and the other is Huanxiu's partner.
Li Banfeng is a foreigner, and it is normal to go to Kudaikan for fun for a few days. If he stays for a long time, it will definitely attract attention.
The situation in Lushuiwan is very different.
Here is the largest city in Pro Province, Green Water City!
There is also a large area of villages and towns outside the city.
The area and population of Green Water Bay are larger and more numerous than those of Yaowanggou, Kudaikan, Haichiling and several surrounding towns combined. Such a place is more suitable for hiding in Li Banfeng's opinion.
Of course, is there no risk in Green Water Bay?
Yes, the roots of the four major families are in Green Water Bay. Once you enter Green Water City, it is equivalent to wandering under their noses.
But precisely because the four major families are there, Li Banfeng is sure that the Lu family will not make any big moves in Green Water City. There are some things they definitely don't want the He family to know, let alone the four major families.
But is Green Water Bay so easy to go?
Li Banfeng walked along the border for a whole day, and the current situation is not optimistic.
There is a line between Yaowanggou and Green Water Bay, an invisible border line. Anything larger than a speck of dust on the ground cannot cross this line.
A man, wearing a white shirt, followed by a crane that was two heads taller than a person.
The man looked at Li Banfeng hiding in the bamboo forest and sneered, "After all, he is just an ordinary person."
Li Banfeng was surprised and said, "Aren't you an ordinary person?"
The man sneered, "I have been practicing in seclusion for twenty years and have already formed a destiny with the immortals. How can you ordinary people compare? Do you want to cross the border? I can send you a way!"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Please go first, the immortal, I will watch from the side first."
The man sat on the back of the crane, and the crane let out a long cry and soared into the sky.
What kind of Taoism is this?
This man's cultivation is not low!
Li Banfeng has seen people riding horses, donkeys, and camels, but this is the first time he has seen someone riding a crane.
While circling in the air, the man riding the crane spoke, "My lord, this man is too ungrateful."
The crane spoke, "He is just a mortal with flesh and blood, let him learn something."
Huh?
Li Banfeng looked up at the crane for a long time.
Did he see it wrong or hear it wrong?
Which one of you is the lord?
Is the crane the lord?
Then you dare to ride on the lord?
The crane hovered in the air for a long time, and the flying height was estimated to be fifty or sixty meters.
It let out a long whistle and rushed to the border with the man. The man took the flute and played a piece of music that Li Banfeng could not understand.
Li Banfeng took out the gold earrings and prepared to carefully distinguish the style of the melody.
The moment of passing the border, the sound of the flute stopped.
The immortal and the crane turned into ashes together, and even the flute was not left.
This doesn't work!
What should I do?
I have been practicing in seclusion for twenty years, but I can't fly over. How can I get through?
Go to the Suishenju first, and then throw the key over?
Can the key withstand the destruction of the border?
Li Banfeng thinks not.
If the key turns into ashes, can he still get out of the Suishenju?
Li Banfeng thinks he can't get out.
Before, Li Banfeng considered going to the train station, hiding the key in a passenger's suitcase, and then sneaking on the train.
The idea is good, but it is not feasible.
Because the Lu family will definitely set up defenses at the train station, just like Chu Yunlong ambushed Li Banfeng near the station. However, the Lu family will definitely send experts with accurate information, and Li Banfeng will definitely be caught when he enters the station.
Even if he successfully sneaks into the train station and puts the key into the passenger's suitcase, the subsequent problems will also be difficult to deal with.
Li Banfeng doesn't know when to leave Suishenju.
He doesn't know when this passenger will get off.
Even if he finds a chance to see the passenger's ticket, he still can't calculate the other party's getting off time.
Don't check the train schedule. Steam trains don't have such a good punctuality rate.
What if Li Banfeng comes out early and the passenger hasn't gotten off the train yet? Li Banfeng doesn't have a pass and a ticket. If he meets that tough attendant, it's hard to say what the consequences will be. If he's not careful, he may lose his life.
Once Li Banfeng comes out late, the passenger gets home, packs his luggage, and finds this key of unknown origin. What should he do?
It's okay if he throws the key away. If he is an expert, he will hand the key over to the Lu family and Jiang Xiangbang. What should they do?
If the passenger goes to another state and hands the key directly to the Dark Star Bureau, how should Li Banfeng get out?
Going to the station is not feasible, but under the current situation, forcing through the border is not feasible either.
Xiao Yeci said that there is a checkpoint on the border between the two places. Li Banfeng thought about it again and again and could only get through the checkpoint.
But where is the checkpoint?
The location of the checkpoint is not marked on the map sold to him by Manager Feng.
Go to the village at the foot of the mountain to ask?
Li Banfeng has always been a little entangled about entering the village.
Entering the village is likely to attract other people's attention and even expose his identity.
But it is not a solution to keep rushing around the border. At least we need to know the general direction of the checkpoint.
After thinking it over again and again, Li Banfeng decided to go to the village. After all, the Lu family has not yet caught up here. Instead of wasting time, it is better to find out as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Banfeng did not see any signs such as road signs and stone tablets.
This mountain is called Mazhu Mountain, so is this village called Mazhu Village?
Mazhu Village?
I seem to have heard of this place.
After entering the village, Li Banfeng did not plan to ask for directions directly, as that would easily arouse suspicion. He planned to buy some food first.
The villagers had rarely seen outsiders. When they saw Li Banfeng entering the village, the farmers working in the fields, the women doing housework, and the children playing on the roadside all stopped what they were doing and looked straight at Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng was very nervous.
Why are they looking at me?
Are you going to rob?
Li Banfeng didn't dare to go deep into the village. He wanted to find someone nearby to talk to and ask about Luka.
Seeing an old lady cooking, Li Banfeng stepped forward and said hello: "Auntie, I'll buy some food."
The old lady was a little hard of hearing. Seeing Li Banfeng was a little scared, she didn't understand what Li Banfeng said for a while.
Li Banfeng took out a fifty-yuan bill, and the old lady was not so nervous this time.
She filled five bamboo tubes with rice for Li Banfeng, and also took a jar of pickled fish and a jar of sweet potato stew.
This old lady was a real person. Li Banfeng thought she gave too much. He was about to pay more and take the opportunity to talk about Luka. Suddenly, he saw the old lady panicking and ran back to the house.
She was not afraid of Li Banfeng, she was afraid of the person behind Li Banfeng.
Behind Li Banfeng stood a man, a man in a patrol uniform.
The patrol stared at Li Banfeng and asked, "Where are you from?"
Li Banfeng put down the food and wine in his hand and answered naturally, "From Ligou."
The reason for putting things down is to make it easier to take out the knife and gun.
The patrol then asked, "What are you doing here from Ligou?"
"Visiting relatives here." Li Banfeng answered calmly.
"Which relatives are you visiting?" The patrol asked reluctantly.
Li Banfeng frowned slightly, "Why do you have to ask this?"
"Is it not okay to ask?" The patrol sneered, "I have been watching you since you came up the mountain. You are wandering back and forth on the border. Are you trying to sneak across the border?
If you tell me which relative you are visiting today, I will take you there personally. There is no one in this village that I don't know.
If you can't tell me, come with me to the patrol room immediately."
Li Banfeng naturally refused to go to the patrol room. He couldn't explain his identity clearly, and it would be more troublesome once he did.
During the stalemate, a woman suddenly shouted, "You heartless thing, you said you would come yesterday, why are you here now?"
Li Banfeng was startled, and looked back, only to see a woman in cheongsam coming up and holding Li Banfeng's arm.
"Captain Wu, this is my brother in Ligou, and he came to see me today."
"Brother?" The patrolman surnamed Wu looked the woman up and down, and said with a smile, "Is it my biological brother or my foster brother?"
The woman smiled and said, "Biological brother, foster brother, aren't they both brothers?"
The patrolman sneered, "That's different, biological brother is born from the same mother, foster brother is born from the same bed."
"Look at what you said." The woman smiled and responded, and the patrolman didn't want to ask more questions.
He looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Young man, you are very lucky. Just be an honest brother to me and keep your energy in bed. Don't go out and wander around."
The patrolman left, and the woman took Li Banfeng to the depths of the village. When they arrived at the door of a bamboo building, the woman smiled and said, "Brother Baisha, why are you here?"
Baisha?
Li Banfeng stared at the woman for a long time, and felt that she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her.
The woman turned around, turned her back to Li Banfeng, and smiled back.
Li Banfeng looked from top to bottom and exclaimed, "Peach!"
The fog on Kuwu Mountain was thick, and her face was not very clear. Li Banfeng didn't have a deep impression of her appearance, but he would never forget the shape of a peach.
The woman smiled bitterly, "I only remember a peach after meeting you. At least you remember a nectarine."
Nectarine.
You Xuetao.
She had received Li Banfeng's favor on Kuwu Mountain. She said that she lived in Mazhu Village. No wonder Li Banfeng felt that the place name sounded familiar.
"Come, come to my house and sit down." Youtao led Li Banfeng to enter the bamboo building. Li Banfeng hesitated and didn't want to go in.
Youtao was a happy cultivator. She said that her companion was a home cultivator. Li Banfeng didn't want to enter the home cultivator's house.
Youtao pulled Li Banfeng again: "Don't you trust me? Go quickly. Wu Jinming is suspicious. If things go wrong, he will come back."
Wu Jinming, referring to the patrolman just now.
Li Banfeng was pulled into the bamboo building by Youtao. The bamboo building had two floors. The first floor was very spacious. There was a coffee table and two chairs in the middle of the room. There were bowl racks, clothes racks and a wardrobe on the wall.
The furnishings were simple, but the house was very tidy, which was in line with the temperament of home cultivators.
"Brother Baisha, what are you doing in Mazhu Village?" Youtao made a cup of tea for Li Banfeng.
"I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk." Li Banfeng didn't drink tea. When he went down the mountain, some mud was on his shoes. He deliberately knocked his shoes on the ground, and the mud on the ground disappeared in an instant.
There is a house spirit in this house.
"Come to Mazhu Village?" Youtao was stunned. This is not a good place for tourism. "Brother, tell me the truth. Are you here to sneak in?"
Li Banfeng was thinking about how to answer when he heard someone coughing upstairs.
Cough cough ~
It sounded like a woman.
Youtao frowned and shouted upstairs: "Don't worry, this is my friend!"
Li Banfeng knew that this house cultivator obviously didn't welcome him.
This is normal. House cultivators don't like strangers to enter their homes.
Li Banfeng stood up and said, "Thank you for helping me out just now. It's getting late, so I'm leaving first."
Youtao stood up and stopped Li Banfeng: "Where are you going? I'm telling you, you can't cross the border randomly, or you'll lose your life."
Li Banfeng thought for a while and said to Youtao: "I didn't force my way in. I have a friend who wants to cross the border. Do you know where the Luka is?"
"Luka?" Youtao thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about yesterday's or today's?"
Yesterday's or today's?
How many Lukas are there?
