Wuqin Township is a town, smaller than Yaowanggou and Kudaikan. Among the towns Li Banfeng has visited, Wuqin Township is the smallest one.

There are not many people in this town, and people don't talk much to each other. The only thing that is abundant is the swamp. Li Banfeng spent a day here and found that there are swamps near the wilderness, forests, farmlands, and country roads, and there are even quagmires between the villages.

At dusk, Li Banfeng ate a bowl of braised pork noodles in a restaurant and the owner charged him thirty yuan.

The price was obviously too high, but Li Banfeng didn't care. The owner of the noodle shop was a kind old lady, and she clearly stated the price. She had said before that this bowl of noodles would cost thirty yuan.

Before leaving, Li Banfeng gave the old lady an extra twenty yuan and asked her how to get to the new land.

The old lady was very enthusiastic and told Li Banfeng: "Child, go east along the wall. When you reach the second alley, go south. There is a mountain path after you pass through the alley. You can see Xindi after you cross the mountain."

In a place without relatives, there are not many people who can give directions so carefully.

Li Banfeng thanked him repeatedly, but he didn't understand one sentence: "Auntie, why do you have to walk close to the wall?"

The old lady lowered her voice and said, "Child, there are all kinds of dirty things on the road. I'm afraid you'll bump into them. We are not related, so I can't say much to you. You'll be right if you listen to me."

Good person!

Li Banfeng gave the old lady another twenty yuan. As soon as he went out, he sensed danger.

What on earth is that on this road?

Li Banfeng walked forward along the wall, activated his golden eyes to observe the situation in the middle of the road.

There were pedestrians passing by occasionally on the road, but I didn't see any ghosts or anything like that. Could it be that there was some kind of trap...

Phew!

Li Banfeng stepped into the quagmire.

There is actually a swamp next to the wall.

The quagmire was bottomless and there were no markings around it. The old lady was afraid that passers-by would discover the quagmire, so she sprinkled a layer of loose soil on the quagmire in advance, making it look no different from ordinary ground.

Li Banfeng was about to get out of the mud when he saw the old lady approaching with a wooden pole: "Child, don't struggle. The more you struggle, the faster you will sink. Don't worry, I will pull you out."

This is such a nice person.

Li Banfeng didn't need the old lady's help. With his skills, he could get out easily without any techniques.

But the old lady was so enthusiastic, holding the bamboo pole, she said: "Child, we are not related, I can't help you for nothing, how about this, you give me two thousand, and I will pull you out."

Li Banfeng blinked and asked, "Is two thousand appropriate?"

"You think it's too expensive?" The old lady frowned and said, "Let me tell you, many people have drowned in this quagmire. If you are not related to me, who would be willing to take care of you? If you think it's too expensive, we'll charge five thousand."

Li Banfeng was stunned and asked, "Is five thousand appropriate?"

"If you ask again, it will be ten thousand!" The old lady's smile was still kind.

Li Banfeng nodded: "10,000 OK."

After saying that, Li Banfeng jumped out, picked up the old lady and threw her into the mud.

The old lady was startled, turned on her toes, curled up her body, rolled over, and rolled out of the mud.

No wonder she dared to set a trap here. This old lady is well-educated and skilled. She is not afraid of revenge afterwards.

After getting out of the mud, the old lady suddenly stood up, grabbed a handful of lime from her arms and wanted to throw it on Li Banfeng's face.

Li Banfeng dodged, picked up the bamboo pole, and poked the old lady back into the quagmire.

The old lady was about to roll out again. Li Banfeng held the pole and pushed her back when he saw her rolling out. After pushing her back and forth several times, the old lady was exhausted and stayed in the mud without moving.

Li Banfeng was holding a bamboo pole, standing beside the mud pit, watching the old lady sinking little by little, and asked slowly: "Just now you asked me to walk close to the wall, just to plot against me?"

The old lady shouted, "Who plotted against you? Who told you to walk along the wall? Ask who heard it?"

No need to ask, in this place, no one can hear it unless they are relatives or friends.

Li Banfeng didn't say anything either, just watched quietly beside the mud pit.

The old lady was getting deeper and deeper into trouble. She couldn't help but shout, "I admit defeat. Spare my life!"

"Ten thousand." Li Banfeng offered a price.

The old lady angrily asked, “You still want money?”

Li Banfeng said, "Isn't this the price we just agreed on? We are not related, why should I let you go if you don't pay?"

The old lady shouted to the people around her, "Someone come and help me! I'll pay, I'll give you two thousand!"

Two thousand is a lot, but no one dares to come up.

Everyone could see that Li Banfeng was not a good person. Who would dare to risk their life if they were not related to him? Even the shop assistants were watching the fun.

The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Ten thousand, I accept it, let me out first."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Give me the money first."

The old lady said to the shop assistant, "Give me 10,000 yuan!"

A waiter took out 10,000 yuan and handed it to Li Banfeng, who put it in his pocket and asked, "I want to go to Xindi. Did I point to the right road just now?"

"That's right!" the old lady answered clearly and loudly.

Li Banfeng stood still, watching the mud reaching his waist. The old lady finally told the truth: "It's the third alley. Walk along the third alley until you reach the mountain path and then go over the mountain."

"How many new entrances do you have here?"

"Just one!"

After Li Banfeng left, the old lady struggled for a long time before she got out of the quagmire.

"Wait, you just wait!" The old lady gritted her teeth, "Madam will definitely not forgive you!"

Li Banfeng didn't trust the old lady, so he asked people along the way about the entrance to the new land.

It is very difficult to ask for directions in a place where there are no relatives. Li Banfeng never asks people to do things for free. He pays money, but he just gives money. He asked seven or eight people and said seven or eight places, but none of them gave the same answer twice.

How did this kind of folk customs come about? Lanyang Village is not so bad.

It was getting dark, and Li Banfeng found a secluded place to hide the key and went back to his residence to take a nap. Suddenly, he felt danger approaching.

Li Banfeng put away the keys and saw a woman holding a lantern walking towards him from a distance.

The woman was about fifty years old. She was wearing a blue jacket with a slanting collar and floral patterns. Her hair was tied up tightly on top of her head with a hairpin. Her temples were smeared with something until they were shiny.

Such old-fashioned attire is rare in Pro Province. The woman stepped forward and said to Li Banfeng, "My name is Qiao Shaofen. On the orders of our lady, I invite you to come to my house and meet me."

"Who is your wife?"

"Mrs. Wuqin, the master of Wuqin Township."

Judging from her description, he should be a local god.

Li Banfeng asked, "We are not related, why do you want to see me?"

Qiao Shaofen said: "Our lady admires your skills and wants to make friends with you."

Li Banfeng frowned; "Has your wife seen me?"

Qiao Shaofen nodded and said, "Just now you fought with Madam's maid Lv Dehua in the town.

Lu Dehua's cultivation is not low, and she has no power to fight back in front of you. Our lady values young talents like you very much."

"The Lu Dehua you're talking about is the one who runs the noodle shop?"

Qiao Shaofen nodded.

Li Banfeng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Madam for your kindness. It's already this hour. It's not appropriate for a man like me to go to see your wife. I'll prepare a gift and pay a visit another day."

After saying that, Li Banfeng said goodbye and turned to leave. Qiao Shaofen called out, "Are you here to find the way?"

Li Banfeng turned around and asked, "How did you know?"

"There was originally a Moxiang store to the east of Wuqin Township. I don't know what happened, but an unknown area suddenly appeared.

The people in that land are trapped inside and can't get out. You are here to rescue them. Our lady has already seen it."

There was a deviation in the process, and he thought Li Banfeng came from somewhere else.

But the result was not affected, as Li Banfeng did come out to find a way.

Qiao Shaofen continued, "Our wife can help you find a way, but if you don't even want to meet her, you are looking down on my wife."

"That makes sense," Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "Could you trouble Madam to come here and see me?"

Qiao Shaofen frowned and said, "What are you talking about? How can my wife come to see you in the middle of the night?"

Li Banfeng said, "It would be inappropriate for me to go to Madam's house. It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't want to come. Just give me a map. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Qiao Shaofen said with a sullen face, "Wait here, I'll go and tell the lady."

She left, looking back from time to time along the way, as if she was afraid that Li Banfeng would follow her.

Li Banfeng had no intention of following Qiao Shaofen.

When it comes to tracking, the first thing to consider is the timing, and the second is the means. If the other party is fully on guard, even the best means are prone to mistakes.

Li Banfeng returned to Suishenju and asked the record player, "Madam, have you heard of Madam Wuqin?"

The record player replied, "I have heard of this local deity who has no relatives, but I know nothing about her, and she doesn't easily associate with others."

"You don't interact with others easily, so why did you find me?"

The record player laughed and said, "I think it's because my husband is so handsome!"

Li Banfeng nodded: "When I was peeing yesterday, I looked at myself in the puddle. You know what, I'm really pretty."

The couple played around for a while, and then Li Banfeng took a knife, cut his palm, and dripped the blood on the seeds.

Qiao Shaofen came back and saw Li Banfeng waiting on the roadside.

"Our wife said that it is inconvenient for us to meet at this time. Please let me lead the way for you. Since our two families are neighbors, we should be more considerate in the future."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Thank you."

"It's dark and the road is hard to walk on. You better follow closely."

Li Banfeng bowed slightly: "Thank you for your help."

The two walked one after the other along the mountain path and climbed over a small hill. There was thick fog in the land ahead. Qiao Shaofen said, "We have reached the new land."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

After walking along the path for more than ten miles, Qiao Shaofen pointed to an old tree stump in front of him and said, "Sit here and rest for a while."

Li Banfeng nodded: "Thank you."

Before Li Banfeng sat down, Qiao Shaofen suddenly spat at Li Banfeng's feet.

Li Banfeng was startled and felt the ground under his feet was wet, sticky and soft. The originally hard ground turned into a quagmire and Li Banfeng's body began to sink rapidly.

What kind of Taoist sect is this?

He tried to break free, but Qiao Shaofen spat at him again.

The mud became stickier and softer, and Li Banfeng couldn't break free. In a blink of an eye, his chest was submerged in the mud.

He looked at Qiao Shaofen in astonishment. Qiao Shaofen said coldly, "We are not related to each other, and you asked me to lead the way for you. Who do you think you are?"

Seeing Li Banfeng completely submerged in the mud, Qiao Shaofen took a breath and sucked two mouthfuls of saliva back into his mouth. The mud on the ground disappeared, leaving only the hard and cold ground.

Qiao Shaofen turned and left, walked a few steps, hid his body, and quickly moved through the night.

Li Banfeng activated the Golden Eyes Skill and followed Qiao Shaofen silently.
