Lord of Puluo
Chapter 428 No Relatives
Wuqin Township is a town, smaller than Yaowanggou and Kuadakan. Among the towns that Li Banfeng has been to, Wuqin Township is the smallest.
There are not many people in this town, and people don’t talk much. The only thing is the swamp. Li Banfeng wandered around here for a day and found that there were swamps near the wilderness, forests, farmlands, and rural roads, and even muddy puddles between village houses.
At dusk, Li Banfeng ate a bowl of braised pork noodles in a restaurant, and the store owner asked him for thirty yuan.
This price was obviously expensive, but Li Banfeng didn’t care. The owner of the noodle shop was a kind old lady. She clearly marked the price and said that this bowl of noodles was thirty yuan before.

Before leaving, Li Banfeng gave the old lady an extra twenty yuan and asked how to get to the new place.
The old lady was very enthusiastic and told Li Banfeng: "Child, go east along the wall, and when you reach the entrance of the second alley, go south. There is a mountain road after you pass through the alley. You can see Xindi after you cross the mountain."
In Wuqin Township, there are not many people who can show the way so carefully.
Li Banfeng thanked him repeatedly, but he didn't understand one sentence: "Auntie, why do you have to walk along the wall?"
The old lady lowered her voice and said: "Child, there are unclean things on this road. I'm afraid you will bump into them. We are not relatives, so I can't say much to you. You can't go wrong if you listen to me."
Good people!
Li Banfeng gave the old lady another 20 yuan. As soon as he went out, he sensed danger.
What is on this road?
Li Banfeng walked forward along the wall, opened the golden eye and looked at the situation in the middle of the road.
Occasionally, there were pedestrians on the road, and no ghosts were seen. Could it be that there was some trap...
Puff!
Li Banfeng stepped into the mud.
There was also a swamp next to the wall.
The quagmire was bottomless and there were no markings around. The old lady was afraid that passers-by would find 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 quagmire when he saw the old lady approaching with a wooden pole: "Child, don't struggle. The more you struggle, the faster you sink. Don't worry, I'll pull you out."
She is really a good 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 a bamboo pole and said: "Child, we are not related, I can't help you for nothing, how about this, you give me two thousand, I will pull you out."
Li Banfeng blinked and asked: "Is two thousand suitable?"
"Too expensive?" The old lady frowned and said, "Let me tell you, many people have died in this quagmire. If you are not related, who would be willing to take care of you? If you think it is too expensive, we will give five thousand."
Li Banfeng was stunned and said: "Is five thousand suitable?"
"If you ask again, it will be ten thousand!" The old lady's smile was still kind.
Li Banfeng nodded: "Ten thousand is fine."
After that, Li Banfeng jumped out, picked up the old lady, and threw her into the quagmire.
The old lady was startled, turned her toes, curled up, rolled, and rolled out of the quagmire.
No wonder she dared to set a trap here, this old lady has cultivation, good skills, and is not afraid of others' revenge afterwards.
After getting out of the mud pit, the old lady suddenly stood up, grabbed a handful of lime from her arms, and was about to throw it on Li Banfeng's face.
Li Banfeng dodged, picked up the bamboo pole, and poked the old lady back into the mud pit.
The old lady wanted to roll out again, and Li Banfeng held the pole and saw her roll out, so he sent her back. After sending her back and forth several times, the old lady was exhausted and stayed in the mud pit.
Li Banfeng stood beside the mud pit with a bamboo pole, watching the old lady sinking little by little, and asked slowly: "Just now I was asked to walk along the wall, just to plot against me here?"
The old lady shouted: "Who plotted against you? Who asked 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 did not speak, just watched quietly beside the mud pit.
The old lady was sinking deeper and deeper, and could not help shouting: "I admit defeat, spare my life!"
"Ten thousand." Li Banfeng offered a price.
The old lady angrily said, "You still want money?"
Li Banfeng said, "Isn't this the price we just agreed on? We are not related, if you don't pay, why should I let you go?"
The old lady shouted to the people around her, "Who will help me? I'll pay, I'll give you two thousand!"
Two thousand is not a small amount, but no one dared to come up.
Everyone can see that Li Banfeng is not a good person. Who dares to risk his life when he is not related? Even several shop assistants were watching the excitement.
The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Ten thousand, I admit 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, "Bring ten thousand yuan!"
A shop assistant took ten thousand yuan and handed it to Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng 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 crisply and loudly.
Li Banfeng stood still, watching the mud up to his waist, and the old lady finally told the truth: "It's the third alley, walk along the third alley, walk to the mountain road, and cross the mountain."
"How many new entrances do you have here?"
"Only one!"
Li Banfeng left, and the old lady struggled for a long time before she got out of the quagmire.
"Wait, you wait!" The old lady kept gritting her teeth, "Madam will definitely not forgive you!"
...
Li Banfeng didn't trust the old lady, so he asked people along the way for the entrance to the new land.
In Wuqin Township, it was too difficult to ask for directions. Li Banfeng never asked people to do things for free. He paid, but he paid. He asked seven or eight people and told seven or eight places, but none of them were the same.
How did this folk custom come about? Lanyang Village was not so bad.
It was dark, and Li Banfeng found a secluded place to hide the key and go back to Suishenju to sleep. Suddenly, he felt that danger was approaching.
Li Banfeng put away the key and saw a woman holding a lantern walking from a distance.
The woman was about fifty years old, wearing a blue-bottomed floral jacket with a slanting collar. Her hair was tied tightly on top of her head with a hairpin. I don't know what she used to smear her temples with oil.
Such old-fashioned dress is rare in Pro Province. The woman came forward and said to Li Banfeng: "My name is Qiao Shaofen. On the order of our lady, please come to my house and meet me."
"Who is your lady?"
"Madam Wuqin, the owner of Wuqin Township."
From her description, she should be a local god.
Li Banfeng asked: "Why do you want to see me when you are not related to me?"
Qiao Shaofen said: "Our lady admires your skills and wants to make friends with you."
Li Banfeng frowned; "Has your lady seen me?"
Qiao Shaofen nodded and said: "Just now you fought with the lady's maid Lv Dehua in the town.
Lv 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 Lv Dehua you are talking about is the one who runs a noodle shop?"
Qiao Shaofen nodded.
Li Banfeng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Madam. It's already this hour. It's not appropriate for a man like me to meet your wife. I'll prepare a gift and visit her another day."
After that, Li Banfeng said goodbye and turned to leave. Qiao Shaofen shouted, "Are you here to find the way?"
Li Banfeng turned around and said, "How do you know?"
"The east side of Wuqin Township was originally next to the Moxiang Store. I don't know what happened. Suddenly, an unknown land appeared.
The people in that land were trapped inside and couldn't get out. You are here to rescue them. Our Madam has already seen it."
The process was biased. He thought Li Banfeng came from somewhere else.
But the result was not affected. Li Banfeng did come out to find the 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, "Can you trouble my wife to come here to 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's not decent for me to go to my wife's house. It doesn't matter if my wife doesn't want to come. Just give me a map and I will reward her handsomely."
Qiao Shaofen said with a gloomy face, "Wait here, I will go and tell my wife."
She left, looking back from time to time along the way, as if she was afraid that Li Banfeng would follow her.
Li Banfeng didn't plan to follow Qiao Shaofen.
In such a matter of tracking, one must look at the timing and the means. The other party is full of vigilance, and even the best means are prone to mistakes.
Li Banfeng returned to Suishenju and asked the record player: "My wife, have you heard of Madam Wuqin?"
The record player replied: "I have heard of her. She is the local god of Wuqin Township, but I know nothing about her. She doesn't easily interact with others."
"If she doesn't easily interact with others, why did she find me?"
Squeak~
The record player laughed and said: "I think it's because my husband is handsome!"
Li Banfeng nodded: "When I was peeing yesterday, I looked at the puddle. Don't tell me, I am really handsome."
The couple played for a while, and Li Banfeng cut his palm with a knife and dripped blood on the seeds.
...
Qiao Shaofen went back and saw Li Banfeng waiting on the roadside.
"Our wife said that it is really inconvenient to meet at this time. Let me lead you. Since we are neighbors, we can help each other in the future."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Thank you."
"It's hard to walk in the dark, you should follow closely."
Li Banfeng bowed slightly: "Thank you."
The two of them went over a small hill along the mountain road, one in front and one behind. There was heavy fog in the front. Qiao Shaofen said, "We are in the new land."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Thank you."
After walking for more than ten miles along the path, Qiao Shaofen pointed to an old tree stump in front and said, "Sit here and rest for a while."
Li Banfeng nodded: "Thank you."
Before Li Banfeng sat down, Qiao Shaofen suddenly spit at Li Banfeng's feet.
Li Banfeng was startled, and felt that his feet were wet, sticky and soft. The originally hard ground turned into a swamp, and Li Banfeng's body began to sink rapidly.
What kind of door is this?
He wanted to break free, and Qiao Shaofen spit again.
The swamp became stickier and softer, and Li Banfeng could not get out. 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, and you asked me to lead 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 her mouth. The swamp on the ground disappeared, and the hard and cold ground remained.
Qiao Shaofen turned and left, walked a few steps, hid her body, and quickly passed through the night.
Li Banfeng activated the skill of Golden Eyes and Autumn Hairs, and followed Qiao Shaofen silently.
PS: Qiao Shaofen first appeared in Chapter 418, and Juanzi knew her.
