Suishenju chose the location of the station, in a forest on the border of fallen autumn leaves.
The station was built underground, and Suishenju was sure to avoid the sight of Qiu Luoye and the monsters, but he needed Li Banfeng's cover.
Qiu Luoye has no time to pay attention to anything else now. He has to deal with land reclamation and examinations, as well as guard against people coming from inner states. He is busy all day long.
Li Banfeng protected Suishenju while repairing the train station. At the same time, he contacted Luo Zhengnan and asked him to notify Ma Wu to continue recruiting people to open up the wasteland.
Ma Wu was quite curious about what the scene would be like with thousands of people opening up new land.
Lao Qi is still recruiting people?
Ma Wu took a look at the account book and found that during this period, money was being spent faster than water was flowing.
How big a deal is he trying to make?
A beggar, with sores all over his body, stood in front of the gate of Xiaoyaowu, quietly watching the crowd who signed up to open up the wasteland.
Li Qi offered a high reward, so anyone who had a hard life in Green Water City wanted to come and give it a try.
Needless to say, those who have been to Xindi dared to set off on the same day.
Some of them had never even been to the new place, but they plucked up their courage and dared to follow.
Lu Huazi shook the bowl in his hand, trying to guess Li Qi's intention.
He wants to turn Qiu Daxiang's territory into a legitimate land?
If he really succeeds, he can become the earliest landlord of the land. If the entire land belongs to him, the benefits will be huge.
But just reclaiming the land is not enough. Where can he get 10,000 people to live there permanently?
How much money would anyone be willing to live in Qiu Daxiang's shabby place?
And how does he run it?
With the little foundation he and Ma Wu have, how difficult would it be for them to run a legitimate business?
Even the four major families can't do such a thing.
If Li Qi is not a madman, he shouldn't do such a thing.
But he did it now, proving that there must be someone helping him behind the scenes.
Who is helping him?
Why are they recruiting people in Green Water City with such fanfare?
The Green Water Beggar left Xiaoyaowu carrying his begging bowl.
Li Qi, an interesting person.
Funny people are dangerous.
Who is the person behind you targeting?
If you were coming for me, I should have killed you as soon as possible.
If it wasn't directed at me.
There doesn't seem to be any harm in killing you.
The station was completed and built in the middle of the forest.
Normally the entrance is invisible and no different from the surrounding ground.
There are seven old trees around, all of which have been infested by insects, but the depth of the infestation varies. When you knock on them, each tree can make a different pitched sound.
The entrance can only be opened by knocking on these seven old trees and playing a song "Pretentiousness".
Now that safety was sufficiently guaranteed, Li Banfeng prepared to return to Lvshui City, where he would personally take charge of recruiting people to continue opening up the wasteland.
Li Banfeng had walked this road countless times. He could walk back with his eyes closed. After crossing Hulugou, he was about to reach Lanyang Village when a man sitting on the ground holding a bowl shouted, "Uncle passing by, please have mercy on me. I haven't eaten for a day."
Because he is close to Green Water Bay, Li Banfeng is very careful when he sees beggars.
The beggar's face was relatively smooth, without any abscesses or the like, and his clothes were tattered, made of various scraps of cloth.
He looked to be at least seventy years old, with sunken lips and seemingly few teeth left. Li Banfeng took out a piece of dry food and asked, "Can I eat it?"
"Yes!" The old beggar nodded vigorously.
Li Banfeng handed the dry food over and the old beggar received it in a bowl.
As Li Banfeng let go, the dry food was about to fall into the bowl, when he suddenly heard the old beggar say very quickly: "I've given it all, then..."
The words were spoken too quickly and too suddenly, and Li Banfeng didn't react.
The Tang sword was suddenly unsheathed and stabbed the beggar's bowl over with one blow.
The dry food did not fall into the bowl but fell to the ground.
The beggar stretched out his hand to pick it up, but his Tang sword pierced the dry food, and he swung the blade, throwing the dry food aside.
"My Lord, be careful! This is a beggar!"
Begging for repair?
Li Banfeng has never been exposed to this Taoist sect.
He had only heard that Yuan Shoulu was a Taoist practitioner and the local god of Huaziwan.
Yuan Shoulu was later defeated by Luhuazi, his territory was taken away, and Huazi Bay became today's Lushui Bay.
Could this beggar be Yuan Shoulu?
Li Banfeng opened his golden eyes and saw that there was a ghost fire on this person.
This is a local god, he might really be Yuan Shoulu!
He actually lived next to Green Flower's territory.
The Tang sword stabbed the beggar's forehead.
The beggar didn't try to dodge, but took it with his hands, muttering quickly, "Have mercy on me!"
The Tang sword suddenly retracted and did not dare to stab upwards.
This is not the Tang sword being afraid of fighting, there are techniques involved.
Jiuhulu shouted, "Please beg for mercy, little brother. We can't give him anything. It will cost us our fighting power!"
If the beggar caught the Tang sword, even if Li Banfeng gave him a sword, Li Banfeng would lose some combat power, not much, but other techniques would be affected.
The beggar failed to grab the Tang sword and reached out to grab Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng didn't dare to fight back and tried his best to dodge.
He was too unfamiliar with Qi Xiu, and he was afraid that if he resisted this attack, trouble would arise again.
As it turned out, his choice was right. If he had chosen to defend himself or fight back, the beggar would most likely have taken something from him.
Maybe it was taking a piece of debris from his body, or tearing a piece of cloth from his clothes.
Once the things are taken away by him, the beggar's technique will succeed.
Seeing Li Banfeng dodging, the beggar tried to grab Li Banfeng's clothes again. Li Banfeng was fast and always managed to dodge first.
The beggar couldn't catch Li Banfeng, and suddenly took out a bamboo from his arms.
Li Banfeng thought it was a weapon or a magic weapon, but he didn't expect the beggar to take the bamboo, put it to his mouth and start playing music.
This is a musical instrument called Chi (pronounced the same as Chi).
You know what, this beggar Huazi plays the flute really well. Li Banfeng thinks it sounds nice from the bottom of his heart.
Hulu shouted, "Little brother, don't listen! This is begging for alms by playing the flute!"
As he spoke, the Tang sword had already stabbed at the bamboo tube.
What will happen after listening to it?
After listening to this piece of music, Li Banfeng must give the beggar something. If he doesn't, he will feel guilty.
It can be food or money, as long as you give him something, you will be hit by his techniques and lose some of your combat power.
Li Banfeng didn't know the reason, he just knew that the bamboo tube was powerful.
Tang Dao hesitated and dared not fight with the beggar. Li Banfeng picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the bamboo tube.
Never miss within five meters.
The stone hit the bamboo tube accurately and broke it.
The bamboo tube used by beggars is specially made and needs to be maintained with special means. A beggar can usually only carry one bamboo tube. Now that the bamboo tube is broken, there is no place to replace it for the time being, and the skill of begging for food by playing the chi can no longer be used.
Unexpectedly, the beggar threw away the bamboo tube, bent down to pick up the stone that fell at his feet, and muttered: "I gave it all..."
The Tang sword swung its blade to chop the beggar's hand. The beggar grabbed the sword and the sword dodged quickly. The beggar went to pick up stones.
Jiuhulu shouted, "Don't let him pick up the stone!"
Li Banfeng never thought that a piece of stone could be considered alms.
If you meet an ordinary beggar, you have to give him something useful to be considered alms, but this beggar’s cultivation is so high that even if you spit on him, he will accept it.
Begging for mercy and begging for food by playing the Chi are both techniques that take away combat power. What you take away is not too much, and the loss is not too great.
What's really scary is that once you're hit by these techniques, they will trigger subsequent techniques to take advantage of the situation.
This is the ninth level of the beggar's skill. Once he gets alms, he will continue to ask for things. He may ask for limbs, internal organs, or magic weapons. If the difference in cultivation is big enough, he may even ask for his life. At this time, he will have to give even if you don't want him to.
The beggar lowered his head to look for a stone, and Li Banfeng's opportunity came.
His figure suddenly disappeared.
The beggar raised his eyebrows: "A quick tour?"
He did not rush to search for Li Banfeng's trace, but stood there and waited quietly.
The technique was successful, and Li Banfeng was afraid that he would not die, so he prepared to add a move called "Treading Through All Rivers", but was stopped by Tang Dao.
He stopped me from doing...
Li Banfeng was startled, but saw that the beggar was still standing there, without much change.
There was a cut on the beggar's face.
How big is the hole?
It was more than an inch long and there was a little bleeding, but it was obviously not deep.
Li Banfeng was stunned. He knew that the cultivator on the cloud could withstand Zoma Guanhua's attack, and he had never thought of using a fatal move. However, he did not expect that Zoma Guanhua's attack would only cause such a little damage.
"Hehe," the beggar smiled, touched his face and said, "It hurts a lot."
Hulu whispered, "Thick-skinned and thick-skinned."
The beggar's skill is thick-skinned and can transform fatal injuries on his body into a scar on his face. Because his skin is extremely thick, the damage caused by this scar is extremely limited.
The defensive power of this technique is comparable to that of Thick-Skinned and Benevolent, but unlike Kind-hearted and Benevolent, it does not have a limit on the number of times it can be used. As long as Qi Xiu has enough physical strength, he can keep using the Thick-Skinned and Benevolent technique. The only drawback is that the preparation time of the technique is a bit long.
The beggar had more combat experience than Li Banfeng. When he bent down to pick up the stone, he was luring Li Banfeng to take action. He had already prepared his shameless and thick-skinned skills.
He expected that Li Banfeng would be fierce enough to continue pursuing the victory, relying on his quick-seeking skills, but he did not expect to be stopped by Tang Dao.
Hulu took the opportunity to whisper in Li Banfeng's ear: "Little Lang, don't run, the stone is still on the ground."
Several seconds have passed since the stone was thrown. Is the beggar's technique still effective?
Logically it should have been ineffective, but Hulu didn't dare to gamble.
"I'm not too familiar with Qi Xiu, and his cultivation is too high. It's hard to say how long his skills can last. Brother Xiaolang, hold on a little longer, and try to hold on for a minute."
Delay for a minute?
When encountering such a master, even one extra second of delay could be fatal.
While he was thinking, the Tang sword suddenly returned to Li Banfeng's pocket, and Li Banfeng ran away.
The beggar didn't pick up the stone, but followed closely behind.
Li Banfeng made the right bet.
Why is he so bold in gambling?
The reason came from the time he threw the dry food.
Before the dry food fell into the bowl, the beggar shouted: "I'm here..."
He only needed to wait a little longer, until the dry food was put into the bowl, and then shout, and Li Banfeng would fall into the trap.
But why was he shouting so urgently?
Then the dry food was knocked away by the Tang sword. Why didn’t the beggar pick it up?
Li Banfeng inferred that the begging technique was subject to strict time limits. From giving alms to performing the technique, it should be completed in a very short time. If a thrown stone was not picked up within a few seconds, it might have exceeded the time limit.
This is too risky. What if I bet wrong?
If the bet is wrong, the beggar will definitely pick up the stone. Before he picks it up, Li Banfeng will turn back and fight him desperately. Anyway, he is faster than him and still has a chance.
After running for less than a minute, the beggar stopped chasing him and he could not catch up.
"Good job, kid. You used the horse-walking technique and you can run so fast."
The beggar looked around and felt a little uneasy when he saw Li Banfeng had escaped.
It’s okay. If you don’t tell him, he won’t know.
The beggar returned to his original place and prepared to continue squatting, when he suddenly saw another beggar with a face full of pus-filled sores walking towards him from a distance.
Green flower!
The beggar quickly stood up and smiled at Lu Huazi.
Lu Huazi looked at the beggar's face and asked: "Are you injured?"
The beggar shook his head and said, "No, my face was itchy and I scratched it myself."
Green Flower's eyes twitched: "Shameless and thick-skinned, you used some techniques, he came here, right? "Green Flower smiled.
The beggar pursed his lips and said, "There is someone, it seems to be him, I can't tell for sure..."
Green Flower touched the beggar's cheek, and a pimple appeared on the beggar's face.
The beggar trembled and said, "I really don't know if that's him!"
Lu Huazi laughed and said, "If you let him go again, I will kill you!"
