Chapter 68: Spider Detective
Li Banfeng crossed the Jiangyue Mountain in the outer ditch, walked more than 100 miles of mountain roads, and walked to a canyon at three o'clock in the morning.
According to Yu Nan's description, passing through this canyon is the place of new life.
This canyon is not easy to walk, the widest part is two or three meters, and the narrowest part can only be passed sideways.
Li Banfeng leaned sideways and walked more than a mile in a narrow gap, according to his perception, this more than ten miles in Ligou Town was more effective.
As soon as he walked out of the gap, Li Banfeng didn't notice that there was a cliff more than ten meters high under his feet, and fell down directly.
Fortunately, Lu Xiu's footsteps were good, and he buffered all the way along the slope before landing, and Li Banfeng was not injured.
The clothes are torn, but it doesn't matter, this is the clothes of the Geng family's guards.
But the shoes were worn out, and Li Banfeng was a little distressed.
Patting the dust on his body, Li Banfeng looked back at the cliff, and suddenly saw a spider crawling out of the gap, hanging the spider silk, and slowly falling down.
What's new about a spider?
This spider is really a bit special, it is huge, not counting the legs, and the diameter of the body alone is more than a meter.
What's even more special is that this spider wore a black top hat on its head, and when it walked to Li Banfeng's side, it specially took off the top hat and saluted Li Banfeng very gentlemanly.
Not only can the spider salute, but it can also speak: "This lady, why is she walking alone in this treacherous place?" ”
Lady?
Li Banfeng stared at the spider for a while: "Did you recognize the wrong person?" ”
Hearing Li Banfeng's voice, the spider was stunned for a while, this "woman" with heavy makeup on her face and a handsome appearance was actually a man: "It turned out to be a gentleman, it was my rudeness, are you going to Xindi to open up wasteland?" We just dropped by. ”
Wasteland?
Farming?
"Are you a cultivator?" Li Banfeng asked.
"Cultivation?" The spider smiled, "You're really good at laughing, and you should know that I'm an individual cultivator." ”
The way this spider speaks is not quite the same as the locals, and it is not the same as the modern society that Li Banfeng is familiar with.
This man spoke in a tone similar to that of a translated film.
Of course, the tone of speech is not the point.
The point is, he's a talking spider.
In the Geng family medicine store, Li Banfeng met Song Boming, as a physical cultivator, he looked a little similar to a crab.
Prior to this, Li Banfeng had also seen physical cultivation on the Kuwu Mountain, and that person had a suit of armor that came with him.
Now I saw a spider again, cultivating this Dao Gate, and the form is quite rich.
The road ahead was relatively wide, and the spider walked a few steps closely, walking side by side with Li Banfeng: "Friend, look at your steady steps, it should be a travel cultivator, the medicinal powder of the brigade cultivation is very expensive, you should be a rich man." ”
"So-so." Li Banfeng said casually.
"My life is miserable, I have no money to save a foundation, and I have no money to buy medicinal powder, so I can only try my luck at the three forks."
This spider is very talkative, he mentioned the three-headed fork, and Li Banfeng was really interested.
"Are you building a foundation at three ends? Have you grown three heads? ”
The spider smiled: "Are you deliberately laughing at our physical cultivation?" ”
Li Banfeng shook his head: "I have never been out of Yaowanggou in my life, and I don't know much about the three-headed fork." ”
The spider said as he walked: "Even if you haven't been to the three-headed fork, you should have heard of the source of physical cultivation, and the physical cultivation in the world all comes from the three-headed fork, and there is only one way for poor people to obtain cultivation." ”
"Why the poor?" Li Banfeng didn't care about showing timidity, so he asked if he didn't understand.
The spider smiled: "Friend, are you deliberately pretending to be confused?" Poor people can't afford to buy a panacea, and they don't have money to get the Dao Yuan, so they can only go to the three-headed fork to try their luck.
Three-headed fork this place, born with a Taoist fate, but not everyone can be used, ten people went, nine people became three-headed monsters, such a person, in this life, can only be a monster,
There is only one person left who has a good physique, and he can achieve positive results, so our path is called physical cultivation. ”
"Cultivating to a positive fruit, is it cultivating to become a spider?"
"I always feel like you're making fun of me," the spider's eight eyes rolled up together, "what kind of cultivation you can achieve depends on everyone's luck and talent,
There are those who have cultivated into birds, those who have cultivated into beasts, and many who have cultivated into scorpions and spiders, do you look down on me? ”
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "That's not true, this road is so difficult to walk, you can walk more smoothly than my travel, this is a serious ability." ”
"Thank you for the compliment," the spider raised her top hat and saluted again, "I told you so much to tell you that I am an honest person, and if you also go to open up the wasteland for the Lu family, we will be partners." ”
Be a partner?
This reminded Li Banfeng of the painful experience of tying up.
"I'm not really going to open up wasteland." Li Banfeng politely declined the spider's invitation.
"If you're not going to open up wasteland, then you can't blame me......"
"What do you blame?"
Li Banfeng looked at the spider with a smile.
The spider's eight eyes looked at Li Banfeng's two eyes.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the spider suddenly spat out a mouthful of spider silk.
Li Banfeng's smile was still there, because the spider silk was not spit at him, and he didn't sense the spider's malice.
The spider silk hung on the rock wall in front of the canyon, and the spider put away the spider silk and continued to crawl against the rock wall:
"If you weren't a wastemaker, I wouldn't take you away, hahaha!"
The road ahead was narrow and muddy, and Li Banfeng trudged through the muddy water with difficulty, watching the spider proudly shuttle freely on the rock wall.
A few minutes later, the figure of the spider disappeared from Li Banfeng's sight.
After another two full hours, Li Banfeng finally reached the end of this canyon.
No wonder Yu Nan wants to come here to take refuge, as a first-level travel cultivator, Li Banfeng has walked so hard, if he is someone else, just this trip will have to lose his skin.
The end of the canyon is not the normal exit that Li Banfeng imagined, it is another cliff.
To be precise, this canyon is a stone crevice embedded in the cliff, and now Li Banfeng is about to come out of the stone crevice.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, he had two options, one was to jump directly, and the other was to use both hands and feet to climb down the cliff.
The cliffs at your feet are hundreds of meters high, and it seems that neither choice is scientific.
Li Banfeng finally made the most scientific choice.
He opened the carry-on and threw the key down the cliff before entering.
After sitting in the house and waiting for a while, Li Banfeng left the portable residence and picked up the key under a tree.
There are trees in front of him, and there are trees all around, and the dense trunks and branches and leaves occupy more than ninety percent of Li Banfeng's field of vision.
Li Banfeng took a step forward, and the dead branches and leaves all over the ground covered his ankles.
A step further, he tripped over a tree root hidden under the fallen leaves, and stepped into the mud.
This foot was deep enough, and the mud directly submerged the root of the thigh.
Li Banfeng was fast, grabbed a tree vine and pulled out his thigh, and just after standing firm, he suddenly felt that danger was approaching.
It's not imminent, it's already coming.
Li Banfeng felt a tingling itch in his calves, rolled up his pants and saw that dense leeches were sucking on Li Banfeng's legs, as if he was wearing a pair of woolen pants for Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng tore off a leech, this is not an ordinary leech, the strength is very strong, the bite is very tight, and a piece of skin and flesh is directly ripped off from Li Banfeng's leg.
If these "woolen pants" are torn off, Li Banfeng's legs are estimated to be no longer skinny.
He went back to his carry-on house, took off his pants, brought a jar of salt, and sprinkled it on the leech.
Unexpectedly, this group of leeches was very tough, sprinkled with salt, and still bit it.
Li Banfeng was about to use a knife to cut off the leech's body first, when he suddenly saw the record player spewing out a piece of steam.
Under the high temperature burning, the leeches were in unbearable pain and relieved their mouths.
The record player used steam to purge Li Banfeng's leg several times to disinfect the wounds on his legs.
It hurts a little.
But after the pain, it was very refreshing.
The record player also played a song to comfort Li Banfeng:
"How would life be ...... without me?"
I remember the lyrics of the original song as "If There Were No You".
Lady, are you comforting me, or are you boasting?
Geng Zhiwei's soul had already been eaten, and his body had also been eaten by the copper lotus, the flowers and leaves were closed, and he was still refining the elixir.
There were a lot of sundries scattered on the ground, Li Banfeng cleaned it up briefly, and took advantage of the fact that the copper lotus had no time to put his mouth down, and quickly packed up the blades of Geng Zhiwei and the two martial cultivators.
Their blades are good, a martial arts blade is an iron thorn more than a foot long, and there are two small thorns three inches long at the root of the iron thorn.
Li Banfeng called it an iron thorn, but was mercilessly ridiculed by the record player.
"What are I doing with jokes, you know what this thing is called?"
The record player does not answer.
The other blade is also very special, like a fork made of two crescents, one large and one small.
Li Banfeng called it a fork, and was ridiculed by the record player again.
Geng Zhiwei had a pistol with bullets in his magazine.
Li Banfeng put away his blade, threw the useless debris out of his personal residence, and continued to walk through the forest according to the map drawn by Yu Nan.
After walking for more than an hour, Li Banfeng took a look at his pocket watch.
It's almost nine o'clock, why isn't it dawn yet?
……
Yaowanggou, Jiangyueshan Xindi, Lu family mansion.
A ray of sunlight shone into the main hall, and Taizhuo Yuling, the second aunt of Lu Dongliang, the head of the Lu family, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and quietly waited for the guests to arrive.
After waiting for about an hour, a man of medium stature walked into the main courtyard under the guidance of the butler.
The man was wearing a black tuxedo, a black top hat, a pair of black round-framed sunglasses on his face, full cheeks, and upright facial features, with a gentlemanly atmosphere.
He took off his hat and saluted Zhuo Yuling: "Private detective, Da Bo Ians is at your service." ”
Da Boians?
Standing opposite, obviously a yellow-skinned and black-haired local, gave himself a foreign name.
And he and Zhuo Yuling are still old acquaintances.
Zhuo Yuling didn't return the salute, she didn't even get up from the chair, looked at the saluting man, but only replied with a slightly contemptuous sneer: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how did you become a fake foreign devil?" ”
The voice is soft, but the words are harsh.
Daboians politely replied, "Madame, a gentleman knows no borders, regardless of blood. ”
Zhuo Yuling pointed to the chair next to her: "Sit down." ”
Da Bo Ines put on a top hat and was a little dissatisfied with Zhuo Yuling's arrogance, but still sat down in his chair.
Zhuo Yuling lit a lady's cigarette, took a puff, and said slowly: "I came to you to do three things, the first thing is to open up the wasteland, the second thing is to find people, and the third thing is to kill people.
Needless to say, you know the market,
I told you in my letter about finding someone, it's my daughter, and this matter is the most important.
The murder, that person's name is Li Banfeng, there are his photos and information, it is best to catch him alive. ”
Daboynes looked at Li Banfeng's photo, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's a pity." ”
"What's the pity?" Zhuo Wenling was stunned.
Daboynes smiled: "It's nothing, I just think it's a pity for this young man." ”
