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...
"Seventh Master, there's nothing much to do at the newspaper office. I'll walk around the city with you." Bai Qiusheng packed his things and was about to leave, but Li Banfeng was unwilling to take him with him.
Sometimes, Li Banfeng is used to being alone. It is inconvenient for him to do serious work or return to his residence with someone around.
Yesterday, Yu Wenqi said that a new dance hall had opened in the east of the city, with more than a dozen dancers dancing together without any clothes.
Li Banfeng didn't want to watch the girls dance, he wanted to see the customs of Heishipo.
It is not suitable to go to such a place with others, as others will misunderstand and think that Li Qi has a low personality.
If something happens to his pants, people will think that Li Qi has poor endurance.
"Get me a map. I'll go by myself. I need new places to be marked."
Bai Qiusheng got a map for Li Banfeng and said, "Seventh Master, this is the latest map, but maps may not be useful in Black Slope.
Especially when you are near Xindi, you must be very careful. You can go in through the entrances I marked for you, but you must not go to places I did not mark.
Too many coal and stone mines have been opened in Heishipo over the years. Some mountains have been dug up, and some places that were not entrances have become entrances.
Don’t go to these places, they are all dangerous places. There are also some places that are not marked on the map, and I can’t remember them clearly, so you’d better not go there. You must also remember the things I told you about the new land..."
Bai Qiusheng talked a lot, and Li Banfeng listened very carefully.
In reality, Bai Qiusheng was only worried about two things: one was that Li Banfeng would get lost, and the other was that he would encounter strange monsters after arriving at the new place.
In Li Banfeng's view, these worries are unnecessary.
He is a travel practitioner and won't get lost easily.
As for the new land, judging from Bai Qiusheng's description, the outer new land of Black Stone City was no different from that of Green Water City. Bai Qiusheng had never been there to see what the inner new land looked like, and Li Banfeng did not plan to go too deep into it for the time being.
Since he was going to get familiar with the route, Li Banfeng planned to walk there at first.
But some temptations are irresistible, like a small train suddenly appearing in the alley.
It was a little after ten in the morning and there were not many people on the bus. Li Banfeng bought a few magazines and swayed on the bus, reading as he went. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the destination.
Follow the map and change the bus.
People who often take the bus know that being able to walk and being able to reverse are two different things.
Li Banfeng changed six trains, but he didn't reach the edge of Xindi, nor did he find the dance hall in the east of the city. He was lost.
The architectural style of Heishipo is similar, and the development of the entire city is relatively balanced. There are no conspicuous signs. Li Banfeng can roughly judge that he is in the south of the city, but he can't see clearly where he is.
“How come there isn’t even a landmark building…”
There is a construction site ahead, and a crane driver is smoking on the side of the road.
Li Banfeng stepped forward and said hello: "Brother, I want to go to Xindi, how can I get there?"
"What are you going to do in Xindi?"
"Hunting!"
"What's the point of hunting? It's a life-threatening business. It would be better to find a class to attend!"
The elder brother was very enthusiastic. He took Li Banfeng to the side of the road and gave him instructions: "Go straight along this road, turn left at the next intersection, turn right at the third intersection, go to the end of the road and turn left. When you get there, you will see the entrance to Xindi.
You can only follow what I say and never go anywhere else. If you go the wrong way, someone could die!"
Li Banfeng thanked him and gave the driver ten yuan.
The driver frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you paying me for asking for directions?"
Li Banfeng smiled and did not answer. He never asked people to do things for free, no matter how small the matter was.
Seeing Li Banfeng walking away, the driver took the money and was actually quite happy.
Another driver stepped down from the crane and shouted, "Shift change!"
The driver got on the car, operated the machine and started lifting stones.
The person in charge of the command below shouted, "Right, right, a little more to the right, I told you to go right, you fucking ..."
Bang!
The crane's grab bucket went off track and nearly hit someone. The commander angrily said, "Fuck you, I told you to go right, do you know which is right?"
The crane driver raised his left hand and said, "Isn't this right?"
The commander said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"
The crane driver thought for a moment and raised his right hand: "It seems to be this side..."
…
Li Banfeng walked quickly, following the directions given by the crane driver, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at a train station.
In Heishipo, the train station is the most common sight, but this train station seems to have been abandoned. The tracks are still there, but half of the platform has collapsed, and the ticket office (waiting room) has completely collapsed.
Li Banfeng was a little curious. Where did this section of railway lead to?
It is unrealistic to build a railway in Xindi. Even if someone really risked his life to build the railway, there would be no one to maintain it.
But when he stood by the railway track and looked south, Li Banfeng found that his judgment was wrong.
The railroad tracks extend all the way south into the endless darkness. Is there really a railway leading to a new land?
It is estimated that it was only built to the edge of the new land to facilitate some hunters to transport goods.
But how could such an important railway be abandoned?
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a whistle behind me.
"Woo woo~"
Is there a train passing by?
Li Banfeng was startled and quickly moved away from the railway tracks. After looking carefully, he found that there was no train coming behind him, but an old man standing there.
The old man, with a high forehead, round cheeks and a strong body, was marking time on the railroad tracks.
huff~
He turned his face to the side and exhaled.
"Woo-woo~" Then he imitated the sound of a train whistle, and he imitated it very well.
Bang! Bang!
He swung his arms left and right in sync, as if the train was about to leave.
Li Banfeng looked at the old man with sympathy and sighed softly.
There is a clear difference between a mental illness and a madman.
This old man actually thought he was a train. How outrageous is that?
I have never thought of myself as a train. Sometimes I feel like I am a plane, or a tank, but this is fundamentally different from a train. Trains always run on rails and are not free...
While Li Banfeng was thinking, he suddenly heard the old man say to him: "Get in the car!"
"What car?"
"It's almost time to drive, why aren't you getting in the car?"
This old man must be crazy for letting me get in the car!
How could I possibly get on the bus?
Li Banfeng looked at the old man and sneered, "I haven't bought a ticket yet!"
"Buy the ticket when you get on the bus!" The old man suddenly appeared in front of Li Banfeng, and Li Banfeng almost didn't see his movements.
He carried Li Banfeng on his back and ran along the railway line, talking as he ran:
"Huff, huff, huff, woo, woo~"
Li Banfeng asked angrily: "Where are you going?"
"Don't move, or you'll fall and die!"
The old man was running so fast that Li Banfeng couldn't see the scenery on both sides.
What level of cultivator is this?
Where on earth is he taking me?
Li Banfeng took out the sickle quietly, and suddenly heard the old man laughing and said, "If you keep moving, I will throw you down and watch you turn into a flower."
Li Banfeng put away the sickle.
The old man's words contain a lot of information, so you have to listen to them separately.
He threw it down, and with his speed being so fast, Li Banfeng might not be able to see his figure.
If he looked at Li Banfeng at this time, Li Banfeng would turn into a flower.
This is the fifth level of travel cultivation skills, just a quick overview.
According to the gloves, this technique is generally used in situations where high-level cultivators crush lower-level cultivators.
What Li Banfeng is facing now is a high-level cultivator who can crush him.
What on earth is he going to do?
The only place Li Banfeng can count on now is Suishenju. As long as he gets the chance, he will immediately sneak into Suishenju. It doesn’t matter even if the old man picks up the key.
He tried his best to distinguish the scenery on both sides, and if he encountered trees or grass, he would take action immediately.
But the old man was getting faster and faster. He had already rushed past the end of the track and was still running forward. Li Banfeng's vision was becoming increasingly blurred. In his anxiety, the old man suddenly let out a long whistle: "Chi~"
He braked.
He threw Li Banfeng to the ground and said seriously, "We've arrived at the station. Buy your ticket now!"
Li Banfeng answered seriously: "How much is the ticket?"
"One hundred and fifty for a hard seat!"
Hard seat?
Li Banfeng shouted, "Do you have any other seats?"
The old man unfolded a stretcher from his back: "Hard sleeper, 280!"
"Are there soft sleepers?"
The old man unfolded a mattress from his back: "Soft sleeper, three hundred and three!"
I give up.
Li Banfeng gave the old man two hundred yuan, and the old man said generously: "No need for change, woo woo~ huff~"
He waved his arms and "drove" away.
Damn it, I gave you two hundred and you still don’t give me the change.
If I had known I would have chosen the sleeper.
No, this wasn’t my choice!
This old madman, what did he bring me to this place for?
Li Banfeng looked at the surrounding environment.
This is a lush jungle. It feels a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before.
Can we find the footprints the old man left when he came here?
It seems that I can see some footprints.
There was a row of footprints, and they were quite deep.
Li Banfeng walked back along the footprints, and suddenly heard a sharp sound behind him:
"Wooo ...
I’m in trouble!
The old guy is back again.
This is not a one-way trip, but a round trip.
This old man actually has a fixed route.
Li Banfeng didn't dare to think too much and immediately left the track of the footprints. He was afraid that the old man would catch up with him, so he ran more than ten miles in one breath.
While running, Li Banfeng was still thinking, if I don’t run, and directly ask the old man to take a bus and give him the ticket money, will he carry me back?
Forget it, we are normal people, we can't take a mental patient seriously.
If he has another attack, I don’t know where he’ll take me.
It was indeed the old man who did not catch up with him, so Li Banfeng looked at the surrounding environment.
This place looked more and more familiar, and he was sure that he had been here before.
After walking east for more than ten miles, climbing over a mountain, and walking in the wilderness for an hour or so, Li Banfeng saw a village.
At the entrance of the village, a huge lady moth was patrolling. Li Banfeng thought it was a swallow, but when he got closer, he found that it was Qiao Cui.
"Seventh Master, you're back!" Qiao Cui greeted him warmly.
Serious village!
How does this old man know about Zhengjing Village?
Why did he bring me back here?
From the main ground, Green Water Bay and Black Stone Slope are not close, but from the new ground, the distance between them is not far.
"Seventh Master, talk to Wu Lang and ask him to come to my place tonight."
Li Banfeng was startled: "Old Five has returned to the village?"
"Yeah, we're filming by the lake."
Why did he return to the village?
Li Banfeng entered the village. Ma Wu, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, was adjusting the camera by the lake. It seemed that "Blood Gun Detective" had started filming again.
There were a few people setting up the scene nearby, and several actors had finished their makeup and were waiting to take their positions. Li Banfeng asked, "Old Five, didn't you say you were going to run a coal and ore business? Why are you back in the village?"
Ma Wu said, "Shouldn't we take care of the urgent matters first? Why did you come back?"
Li Banfeng said: "My what..."
He didn't explain.
Glancing at the set, Li Banfeng saw Bai Qiusheng.
Bai Qiusheng was revising the script.
This is Ma Wu’s habit. When filming a movie, he must have the screenwriter by his side.
Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and asked, "You're back too?"
Bai Qiusheng stood up and said, "Seventh Master, someone said there was something urgent, so I came back first."
"Oh, I see..." Li Banfeng nodded and pulled the brim of his hat even lower.
PS: Who is this Bai Qiusheng?
