Lord of Prolo

His name is Li Banfeng—”Feng” as in “mountain peak,” not “madness.” The doctor confirmed he is not insane.

To save a friend’s life, he stepped onto Platform 96, boarded the 11...

Chapter 20: The Ultimate Luxury House

The peddler pointed out the first way, allowing Li Banfeng to settle down directly in the dangerous place.

It seems like a good plan, but it is quite outrageous when you think about it carefully.

It is good because it can solve problems, allow you to settle down in dangerous places, and can perfectly solve the problem of staying in a dangerous place for one night.

Not to mention one night, you can stay for a few nights, hiding in your own house, and your success rate in dealing with danger will be higher.

I say it's outrageous because how are we going to live the rest of our lives?

"Is it possible to spend your whole life in a dangerous place?"

The peddler comforted Li Banfeng: "Don't be so pessimistic. As long as you develop a house spirit, ordinary enemies will not be able to enter your house at all. You can still live a peaceful life."

"Can I still cultivate a house spirit?"

"Yes! Dangerous places are full of resentful souls, and resentful souls are the most suitable for nourishing the spirit of the house.

Take the Lianyin Valley in Yaowanggou as an example. This valley is filled with yin energy and has nurtured many vengeful spirits. It is unknown how many people have died on the mountain. This is a typical dangerous place.

This place is nice and quiet, most people don't dare to disturb it.

If you settle down in Lianyin Valley for half a year and lay a solid foundation, you will be able to cultivate a house spirit. The house spirit will absorb resentful spirits and become more powerful, which will be extremely beneficial to your future practice."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and asked a seemingly simple but important question: "What is a vengeful spirit?"

The peddler blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "Didn't you receive higher education? What is a vengeful spirit? Do you need to ask me? It's just a ghost, a ghost with a lot of resentment."

It turned out to be a ghost.

Li Banfeng relaxed his brows, tried his best to control his emotions, and smiled.

Think about the future life, living in a deep and quiet valley with many resentful spirits, what a warm and warm life it will be.

Maybe it will take some time, but the cultivator at home will practice in the house, and he may live in the valley all his life.

Li Banfeng looked at the peddler and said seriously, "Won't the evil spirits in the valley harm me?"

"That's a good question," the peddler answered seriously, "It is inevitable that evil spirits will harm people, but you have a house spirit, and the house spirit will help you resist the invasion of evil spirits."

"What if the house spirit can't resist?"

The peddler's expression became more serious: "You must have confidence, you must believe in the power of the house spirit, you must believe in your own will, you must believe that there are no difficulties in this world that cannot be overcome. Whether you believe in yourself or not, I believe in you! You can do it!"

Li Banfeng thought about it and felt that what the peddler said made sense, but he still had a question: "Before I become a house spirit, who will help me resist?"

"This..." This question hit the nail on the head. The peddler took out a stack of yellow paper with various runes drawn on it. "These spells are enough for you to resist for three to five months. By then, the house spirit should have been cultivated."

"Then what? Even if there is a house spirit, I can't hide in the house every day. I have to go out to find something to eat, right? Am I still a travel practitioner? Don't I still have to go out? How should I face the evil spirits if I leave the house?"

"If you can run faster..." The peddler couldn't continue and changed the subject, "You don't have to go to Lianyin Valley, there are other places..."

"What's the use of going somewhere else? I'm a traveling cultivator and I have to go out and wander around. If you say so, I'll be dead the moment I leave the house."

If it happened once or twice it would be fine, but having to settle down in a dangerous place where I risk my life when I go out to buy groceries, how can I live like this?

The peddler sighed and said, "In fact, tempering in a dangerous place is also beneficial to travel cultivation, but if you don't want to, then forget it. There is another way."

The peddler tapped the cabinet and a drawer opened, revealing all kinds of sundries of all sizes.

After searching for a while, the peddler took out a key from the drawer, a brass key that was slightly shorter than the index finger and had a patina on it.

"Since you don't want to settle down in a dangerous place, I will give you another house."

"What kind of house?"

In Li Banfeng's opinion, no house can solve the contradiction between home cultivation and travel cultivation.

"This house is very special and is a priceless treasure in the world. If it weren't for the fact that I value rules and reputation, I would never be willing to give you this good thing." The peddler took the key and reached forward, twisting it counterclockwise three times, making a gesture to open the door.

He opened the door with the key, facing the air.

His movements were very serious, as if there was really a door in front of him.

He turned his head, looked at Li Banfeng, and waved at him: "Come, I'll take you inside to see the house."

Come in?

Which way to go?

There was only air ahead.

"Come quickly!" The peddler's expression was very serious.

Li Banfeng came to the peddler, but still saw nothing.

The peddler still looked serious.

Li Banfeng looked at the peddler and said, "I know a doctor named Wang in the psychiatric department of Yuezhou Third Hospital. He's a nice guy. Why don't you go too..."

The peddler pushed Li Banfeng and Li Banfeng took a few steps forward.

Suddenly, everything in front of me was pitch black. The wilderness, big trees, campfires, containers, and straw mats were all gone.

laugh!

The peddler lit a match, and with the faint light, Li Banfeng could see the surrounding environment clearly.

This is a room, not a very big one, about three meters wide and two meters long, with an area of about six square meters.

The room was empty. There was nothing in it except the mottled walls, not even a window.

The match was about to burn out. The peddler had one foot outside the door and one foot inside. He said to Li Banfeng, "The door will close soon. What comes next is very important. You must throw the key outside the door and throw it to a suitable place before the door closes."

After saying that, the peddler threw the key out.

There was a cloud of fog outside the door, and Li Banfeng couldn't see where he threw the key.

Bang!

The door closed, the match went out, and the room fell into complete darkness.

Sniff

The peddler struck another match, and this time he lit a candle and held it in his hand.

"Look carefully, this is the house I gave you."

Li Banfeng looked around and said, "If you say this is a house, I believe it. If you say it is a house..."

This "house" is really small.

"This is a house, one of the most precious houses in the world."

"What makes it so precious? Is it because it can become invisible?"

Before the peddler opened the door, Li Banfeng had never seen this "house". It was obvious that this house had an invisible function.

"It's more than just invisible," the peddler smiled, "This house can move. Wherever the key goes, it will follow. As long as you carry the key, it will always follow you."

Li Banfeng was stunned.

If what the peddler said was true and this was a mobile house, then the conflict between travel repair and home repair would be completely resolved.

But is there really such a house in the world?

"Don't believe it?" The peddler smiled, "You can try it."

After saying that, the peddler opened the door and walked out with Li Banfeng.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, my view was obscured by thick fog.

The moment he closed the door, the thick fog dissipated and Li Banfeng found his feet standing in a patch of weeds.

The peddler bent down, picked up the brass key from the weeds and handed it to Li Banfeng.

"Let's go to another place." The peddler took Li Banfeng and walked a few hundred meters into a forest.

"Put the key in until you feel it fit into the lock."

Li Banfeng did as he was told.

He inserted the key into the air and felt nothing.

The peddler shook his head: "This is not right."

“I don’t know the technique yet…”

"No tricks are needed. It's just like using a key to open a door. It's such a simple thing. Just do it quickly and don't hesitate."

Li Banfeng tried again, and this time he did it neatly and naturally.

Cluck, cluck, cluck~

Li Banfeng seemed to hear the sound of the key entering the keyhole, and felt a sense of sluggishness in his fingers.

"You used the right method," the peddler smiled. "Turn the key to the left, and when you hear two clicks, the door will open."

Li Banfeng held the key and turned it counterclockwise.

Click!

Click!

The peddler said, "Push the door!"

Li Banfeng pushed forward. He felt the texture of the wooden door and even heard the sound of the door hinges.

Squeak~

But he saw neither the door nor the previous room.

“Take one step forward, just one step.”

Li Banfeng took a step forward, and thick fog came, quickly blocking his vision.

Take one more step forward and you should be able to see the house.

The peddler immediately reminded him: "Don't move, throw the key out.

The exit of the house is connected to the key. If you bring the key into the house, the exit will lead to the house, and you will be trapped in the house forever."

Li Banfeng turned around and was about to throw away the key, but the peddler reminded him, "Choose a good place to throw it away. Don't throw it away too obviously, otherwise the key will be picked up by others. Don't throw it away too secretly, so that even you can't find it."

There was fog in front of Li Banfeng's eyes and his vision was very blurry, making it very difficult for him to throw the key.

No wonder the peddler said throwing the key was very important.

The peddler urged, "Hurry up and throw the key out. The door will be closed soon."

Fortunately, Li Banfeng had a special skill. Relying half on his eyesight and half on his memory, Li Banfeng threw the key out and stepped into the room with his other foot.

Bang!

The door was closed.

Li Banfeng entered the house.

Li Banfeng turned around, opened the door, walked out of the house, and found himself back in the woods.

He found the key on the ground, not far away, just under a tree.

Within five meters, even if you can't see clearly, you won't miss.

The peddler smiled and said, "It's still a little obvious. I must remember to choose a better place next time."

Li Banfeng nodded and held the key tightly in his hand.

"Are you satisfied?" asked the peddler.

Li Banfeng nodded again.

Satisfied, very satisfied.

"With this house, I can travel around in the future, and when I get tired, I can come back to rest. It won't delay my travels or my home."

"Uh..." The peddler's smile froze, and his expression gradually became serious. "It's not that simple. Repairing the house is easy, but I have to find another way. There's a little problem with this house."

Li Banfeng was startled: "What's wrong?"

The peddler sighed and said, "It can't give birth to a house spirit."
