Lord of Puluo

Chapter 249 Saint

Li Banfeng returned to his residence and told his wife about the meeting in ten days.

The lady pondered for a while and said, "Ms. sir, I think you should not see him."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "How can I get out if I don't see him?"

The lady said in a solemn tone: "My dear husband, let's find another way."

Guren hissed, seeming to agree with the record player.

Hong Ying snorted coldly and said: "You should know the quality of a person with a cocoon on his hand. As for your own abilities, you are somewhat cautious in your mind, but these ten days are indeed a long time. "

Li Banfeng was also curious, why did the other party give him ten days?

Back at Engong Village, Li Banfeng asked people to be on guard. He suspected that the saint would take advantage of these ten days to make a sudden move and catch him off guard.

In fact, he had the same plan and wanted to surprise the saint.

On the second day, the saint did not show up, nor did his disciples, but dozens of people came to seek refuge in Engong Village.

Their reasons are similar to others. They all cannot stand the exploitation of Sage Mountain and the bullying of the disciples of the saint.

One woman suffered the most.

This man is a cultivator in his early twenties, named Dong Qiaoqin.

She was a foreigner. When she was thirteen, she entered the Taoist cult. When she was fifteen, she was abducted into Jingde Village and sold to a family as her daughter-in-law.

When she was sixteen, she and her husband consummated their marriage, and the couple gave birth to a pair of children.

Although it is only one level of farming, Dong Qiaoqin is proficient in various methods such as farming, sericulture, and livestock, and his life is quite happy.

When she was twenty years old, her husband contradicted a disciple of the saint, and together with his two children, they were beaten to death in the village.

She was rushing to the next village to buy silkworm seedlings that day, and she was lucky enough to save her life.

When she returned to the village, she received the tragic news that her family had been destroyed, and Dong Qiaoqin almost committed suicide.

Since then, the villagers' attitude towards her has changed.

The reason does not lie in "short-sightedness", but in "nearness".

From the perspective of the villagers in Jingde Village, Dong Qiaoqin should die together with her husband and children.

The fact that she's not dead proves that there's something going on here.

Especially Dong Qiaoqin's husband's family insisted that Dong Qiaoqin had colluded with the saint's disciples and deliberately killed her husband.

They did not dare to argue with the saint's disciples, so they focused their anger on Dong Qiaoqin.

For two years, Dong Qiaoqin's family property was robbed, and she suffered countless bullying and beatings.

First her husband's family beat her, then the villagers from Jingde Village beat her, then the villagers from the surrounding villages beat him, and even the saint's disciples came to beat her.

Why did the saint's disciples also beat her?

Because he felt that he had not taken advantage and his reputation had been ruined by her. This revenge must be avenged.

Just half a month ago, Dong Qiaoqin was besieged by a group of villagers. The little food he had at home was robbed, and he was beaten to the point where he could not get out of bed for several days. It was impossible to survive. Dong Qiaoqin went into the mountains and defected to Engong Village. .

Xiao Yeci was very sympathetic to this poor woman, and even made a bed in his house to live with her.

Dong Qiaoqin is indeed a capable woman. After settling in, she chose a piece of land on the edge of the mountain forest, sprinkled a bag of quick seeds, and started farming.

This piece of land is not small. Although Dong Qiaoqin has skills, she can't manage it by herself. Xiao Yeci invited many village members to farm with her.

This group of people have suffered hardships in the village, and their farming skills are not a problem.

This bag of quick planting is also very special. It is much faster than the seeds in Haichiling. The seeds are sown on the same day, earing the next day, and the grain is harvested on the third day. The harvest is quite good.

Xiao Yeci was very happy and awarded Dong Qiaoqin 30 yuan. As an important member of the village, Xiao Yeci felt that this was what she should do.

Dong Qiaoqin took thirty yuan with her and went to other villages to buy a lot of poultry and livestock.

Raising chickens and feeding ducks, driving cattle and herding sheep, after another three days, the chicken pens, duck nests and livestock sheds were all set up.

Dong Qiaoqin went to the village to buy some silkworm seedlings, picked mulberry leaves, built a silkworm coop, and raised silkworms with the women in the village.

"This is a good thing, it is a good thing..." Xiao Yeci repeatedly reminded himself that this is a good thing, but he felt that something was wrong with it.

Dong Qiaoqin also felt aggrieved: "Sister Xiao, what do you think I did wrong?"

Xiao Yeci couldn't explain, so she went to Li Banfeng: "My dear friend, I always feel that something is wrong with this Miss Dong. What is wrong, I can't tell."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I know something is wrong with her."

"Was she sent by that saint? Did she make up her experiences to deceive us?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I went to Jingde Village to check, and what happened to her is true."

Xiao Yeci murmured for a long time and said: "Then since it is true, it proves that I am careless."

Li Banfeng still shook his head: "Don't worry too much, she was probably sent by that saint."

Xiao Yeci looked puzzled: "Then I don't understand."

Li Banfeng smiled bitterly: "I don't understand, she has suffered so much, why does she still work for the saint?"

Xiao Yeci said: "Let's drive her away. My benefactor, if it's not convenient for you to take action, just leave this matter to me."

Li Banfeng sighed: "What can you do? Drive Dong Qiaoqin away, what do you say to others?

Tell them it’s wrong to grow food? Tell them that grabbing food is the right way? "

Xiao Yeci was speechless.

Li Banfeng looked at Xiao Yeci and said, "In the village, except me, everyone has suffered more than you, mother and daughter, right?"

"Yes, they have been here longer than us."

"Why do you think there are so many villages in this place?"

"No, I don't know..."

"Did the saints come first, or did these villages come first?"

"do not know……"

"They have suffered so much, but as long as their lives can go on, they can forget all the suffering they have suffered. Why do you think this is?"

"I still don't know..."

new

Xiao Yeci really didn't know, but she knew that Li Banfeng was right. The people in the village wanted to live a steady life, and if they were asked to go out to rob, they would definitely not want to go.

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat, stood up and said, "I'm going to see the saint tomorrow. You and your daughter should discuss whether you are willing to leave if I find a way out."

Xiao Yeci was silent.

Li Banfeng left the village, found a secluded place, and entered his home.

"My lord, when the appointed day comes tomorrow, do you really want to see that saint?"

Li Banfeng was silent for a moment without answering, and then asked another question: "Madam, is Hong Ying my house spirit?"

The lady was a little angry, but she couldn't lose her temper at this time: "My husband called out her name in person, and this bitch agreed in person. She is naturally regarded as my husband's spirit."

Li Banfeng asked again: "Will the skills of deep residence and compound be useful here?"

Hong Ying said in a cold tone: "You heartless man and evil woman, what are you planning? I tell you clearly, don't try to plot against me. I won't accept your tricks."

Li Banfeng said: "I didn't want to plot against you, I just wanted to borrow something from you."

"What do you want to borrow? Want to borrow techniques from me?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I don't want to borrow techniques. I haven't thought about it yet. Techniques alone are useless against that saint.

I want to borrow some power from you. "

The record player thought for a moment and said, "Did your husband want to scare that saint?"

Hong Ying sneered and said: "It turned out that I wanted to use the trick of pretending to be powerful. Madman, you have to think carefully. If this matter is revealed by that saint, will you still be able to come back alive?"

Li Banfeng said: "Then lend me more power so that he can't expose it."

Chichi~

"That's a way," the record player turned its horn to Hong Ying, "Listen to my husband and use all your power on the battlefield."

"Wicked woman, that mad man went crazy, and you went crazy too. Do you know how much risk you take by doing this? If the mad man shows any cowardice, his life will be gone!

For this reason, we should avoid seeing him. That crazy man is not a gentleman to begin with. Why does he have to care so much about just a verbal agreement? "

"Avoiding to see him?" Li Banfeng asked, "Where to hide? How long to hide? This is his territory. Will I fall into his hands sooner or later?"

Li Banfeng was right, as long as he didn't leave Bitch Post, his life would always be in the hands of the saint.

The record player made up its mind and wrapped Hong Ying in steam: "This matter is settled."

Hong Ying said angrily: "You can make it as soon as you say it's settled? Why should I agree to it?"

The record player said: "We have known each other for many years. You should know my temperament. You have helped me, so I will not treat you badly.

As long as you don't want to talk about those things between us, I won't force you to ask them anymore, as long as you sincerely help me get married this time. "

…

The next day, sixty-four disciples from Sage Peak carried a chariot down the mountain.

Along the way, every time they passed a village, all the villagers knelt at the entrance of the village an hour in advance to greet him. Until the saint left, no one dared to get up. They had to kneel for another hour to express their respect for the saint.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the chariot arrived at Engong Village.

When they heard that the saint was coming in person, everyone in Engong Village hid in the cave, leaving only Xiao Yeci and his daughter who bravely stayed in the village.

Li Banfeng was sitting in the wooden house, making tea.

The disciple in white walked into the room first and said to Li Banfeng: "Master is waiting for you outside the door. He asked you to go out and speak out."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "That won't work. Let him come in and answer."

The disciple in white conveyed the truth truthfully, and the saint smiled and got off the chariot.

From the moment his feet touched the ground, all the disciples accompanying him knelt on the ground, with their heads pressed against the ground.

If Li Banfeng hadn't issued an order prohibiting kneeling before, a large area of Engong Village would probably have knelt down as well.

The saint entered the wooden house and sat opposite Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng poured a cup of tea and drank it himself.

The saint smiled.

Judging from his appearance, this man seemed to be in his forties. He also wore a round hat. He had thin cheeks, fair complexion, and a mustache.

It can be seen that this is a person of very high status, but it is completely different from the image of a saint in Li Banfeng's imagination.

The sage asked Li Banfeng: "Did I understand what I said?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "You haven't said anything yet."

"You are a smart person. You should understand it without me telling you."

Li Banfeng did not deny it: "I finally understand."

The saint nodded slightly and said, "Now that I understand, I just want to ask you, do you want to leave?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I think so."

The sage took the tea cup and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's easy to talk about this. You can leave tonight. I will let you leave and never come back again."

Li Banfeng held the teacup and said, "Not enough."

"Not enough?" The saint suspected that he heard wrongly, "What do you want?"

"I want to take some people away. Anyone who wants to come with me, I will take away."

The saint shook his head: "There is no such precedent."

Li Banfeng replied calmly: "Then I'll trouble you to set a precedent."

"You still don't understand." There was a domineering aura on the saint's body, and the whole wooden house shook a few times.

Lu Chunying, who was hiding far away, almost peed.

Xiao Yeci had already peed, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

The disciple kneeling outside was shaking like chaff.

Li Banfeng didn't tremble.

He wanted to tremble, but he restrained himself.

He raised his head slightly and stared at the saint with his eyes.
