The next day, the Iron Gate Fort was closed, and Li Banfeng went around to inquire about the surrounding situation.

There are many villages around Tiemen Fort, and they are all simple peasants, and they have encountered two one-story cultivators, and the rest of them have not cultivated.

Li Banfeng inquired about the location of Feiying Mountain, more than 20 miles away from Tiemen Fort, the grass on the mountain is very famous, it seems to be more famous than Tieyang Mountain, no matter the owner of the village He Zhenlei, or the cannon head Luo Dagui, in the local area, are terrifying figures.

This group of grass robbers has a lot of "achievements", and through the narration of the villagers, Li Banfeng focused on hearing the word "ruthless".

Every year they have to take away more than half of the grain in each village, and the slightest disobedience and slaughter of the village is a common thing.

This is different from the practice of most mountain bandits in Puluo, who will not kill the surrounding residents, and will even maintain good relations with neighboring villages, and will take care of each other in case of trouble.

Isn't there a big family to clean up a villain like Flying Eagle Mountain?

Yes!

The largest wealthy family in the vicinity is Tiemen Fort, where 300 houses are built and lived together, and this force is indeed not small.

Zhou Anju, the owner of the fort, once went to Feiying Mountain single-handedly to fight with He Zhenlei, and the two sides won or lost.

Zhou Anju also led more than a dozen subordinates to fight with He Zhenlei at the bottom of the mountain, and returned defeated.

According to the local villagers, the reason why the lord of Zhou Bao was defeated was because he could not leave home for a long time.

That's right, but Li Banfeng always felt that something was wrong.

He asked an old farmer: "Brother, Lord Zhou Bao and He Zhenlei are fighting, have you seen it with your own eyes?" ”

The old farmer shook his head and said, "This is a battle of immortals, how dare I go to see it." ”

"Since you didn't see it, why did you say it so clearly?"

"This matter has long been spread near the Iron Gate Fort, and the two battles are earth-shattering, and everyone in this vicinity knows about it, and no one knows it!

Lord Zhou Fort is a hero, but he can't stand the thieves too ruthlessly, and even the Iron Gate Fort can't beat them, let alone us ordinary people. ”

It's earth-shattering, and I've never seen it when I asked.

Li Banfeng really had an impulse to go to Flying Eagle Mountain to see what was going on.

But if this village master is really a cultivator of the seventh or eighth layer, isn't going up to send him to death?

Look again.

You can always find an insider to find out the details.

The next day, the Iron Gate Fort opened, Li Banfeng entered the fort again, and Ma Dingfu shouted in front of the gate: "If there is business, do it quickly, close the door in two hours!" ”

Li Banfeng asked Sui Donglan: "What time does it usually close?" ”

"It's seven o'clock in the evening, and the door closes so early today, it seems that the matter of Flying Eagle Mountain has not been properly handled."

Sellers of rice, oil, and vegetables do business from house to house, and those who sell cloth, groceries, and tobacco leaves do not do so well.

Flying Eagle Mountain came to ask for 10,000 oceans, and most of the people in the fort didn't pay the money, but they had to prepare the money, if they pressed it too tightly, they could only compromise, after all, the house repair can't be moved easily.

A woman who sells cloth goes to the old man's house to collect clothes, the old man Hu is a tailor, the craft is not bad, this woman has been ordering at his house for many years.

Old man Hu didn't lock the door today, and the door was open.

The woman who sold the cloth didn't dare to break in, she knew that the house cultivator was unwilling to let others into the house, so she stood outside the door and said, "Lao Hu, are the two cheongsams ready?" ”

An old voice came from the room: "Who is it?" ”

Is this Lao Hu?

The sound is not right.

"It's me! Xiujuan, come to you to get your clothes! ”

"Who the hell is it?"

"I, I......" Xiujuan took two steps back.

A cold wind blew, and a thick fog rose through the dark corridor.

In the thick fog, Lao Hu's head slowly floated in front of Xiujuan.

"Mom!" Xiujuan screamed, and the whole person crawled and left Lao Hu's door.

Several house repairers who came out to buy things surrounded them and saw that Lao Hu's head was still hanging in the air.

The old man's voice echoed in the room: "Tell me, who killed him......"

Li Banfeng wanted to go in and have a look, but was stopped by Wu Yongchao: "Don't go, the house spirit may be going crazy." ”

If the house spirit has no owner, it is likely to become an evil spirit.

And this house spirit is special.

"Lao Hu has been in Tiemen Fort for more than 50 years, and this house spirit is longer than him, and now that Lao Hu is gone, this house spirit is afraid to ......."

"Who the hell is it!" Before he finished speaking, the house spirit roared repeatedly, and the whole house trembled.

Fifty years.

Yesterday, the house repairer who came earlier than the Lord of Zhou Bao was him.

Ma Dingfu ran over and shouted at the vendors, "Go!" Let's go! We've had an accident and we're about to close our doors. ”

It's going to be closed again.

A group of vendors ran out of the door, and suddenly heard the sound of a whistle.

Woohoo, woohoo~

Before anyone could run out, the steam door was closed.

After waiting for a while, a shout came from outside the door: "Lord Zhoubao, I'm here again, I said yesterday, if I can't get 10,000 oceans, I will take your life a day, head, have you received it?" ”

Lord Zhou Bao shouted: "Luo Dagui, don't deceive people too much!" ”

"I didn't bully you, I said the rules in advance!"

The words landed, and with a loud bang, several stones fell into the valley.

Another house was smashed down, and all the vendors squatted on the ground and kept silent.

They were waiting for Lord Zhou's attitude, but Lord Zhou didn't say anything.

The cannon head Luo Dagui shouted: "Everyone, I will come back tomorrow, if you still can't see the ten thousand oceans, I will give you another generous gift!" ”

After speaking, Luo Dagui left.

Everyone waited for a long time, but they didn't dare to move the place.

Ma Dingfu glanced at everyone and shouted angrily: "Crazy! You're crazy! Why don't you go out and fight him? This is good, there is a fatality! ”

There were several house repairs who looked at Wu Yongchao with resentment.

These are all paid.

Wu Yongchao looked ashamed and avoided everyone's gaze.

"Who killed him!" The old bearded house spirit is still roaring.

Ma Dingfu stood in the distance and watched, turned back to the crowd and said, "Who is familiar with Lao Hu, go to his house and have a look." ”

Wu Yongchao said: "I'll go over and take a look, I recognize the spirit of his house." ”

Ma Dingfu looked at Wu Yongchao and said, "Calm down, remember, you owe Lao Hu a life." ”

……

Two hours later, the steam door opened.

Sui Donglan rushed all the way to the door, Li Banfeng grabbed her and gave her a glass of wine: "Drink this, and come to Tiemen Fort tomorrow to wait for me." ”

"Tomorrow the Iron Gate Fort will not open! The guy surnamed Ma just said. ”

"If you don't open the door, just wait for me outside."

"What if I run into bandits?"

"You won't hide well?"

……

Late at night, Wu Yongchao rummaged through the cabinets in the house, took out all the change that was usually scattered, and made up a total of twelve oceans.

Each family has to pay thirty-six yuan, and Wu Yongchao's savings are too far away.

He took out a few paintings that he was reluctant to sell before, and thought about how much they were worth, when an old man's voice sounded in his ears: "Boy, these paintings can't be sold, they will be used in the future when they fight!" ”

"Now is the time to use the money, I'll ...... later"

Bang bang bang~

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Wu Yongchao frowned slightly, at this time, there would be no outsiders in Tiemen Fort.

Could it be that Ma Dingfu is coming to collect debts again?

When he came to the door, he opened the door mirror first, and found that it was not Ma Dingfu standing at the door, but a man wearing a top hat.

Merchant!

Wu Yongchao opened the door and said in a low voice, "How did you get in?" ”

Li Banfeng's voice was lowered: "I didn't leave at all." ”

"No way, every time the castle closes, you have to ......"

"Let me in first, this is not the place to talk."

Wu Yongchao was a little difficult.

The old man's voice came from his ears again: "Let him in, this is a good man." ”

Wu Yongchao brought Li Banfeng into the living room, and before closing the door, he looked around several times.

The two sat down, and Wu Yongchao asked about the previous incident: "How dare you stay in the castle secretly?" If the castle owner finds out......"

"Let's not talk about this for now, you go to the old beard's house and ask how he died?"

Wu Yongchao lowered his head and said with a guilty face: "This morning, the old beard went out to pour dirt and didn't come back for a long time.

The house spirit smelled the smell of blood outside the door, opened the door and looked, and found Lao Hu's head placed at the door.

It's all my ......."

Li Banfeng interrupted Wu Yongchao: "How early is it this morning?" Before the big iron gate opens, or after it opens? ”

"It's about six o'clock, and the iron door hasn't opened yet."

"How did the murderer get in?"

Wu Yongchao thought for a moment and said, "They can throw stones from the cliff, they should sneak into the fort from the cliff." ”

Li Banfeng thought about the height of the cliff.

Think about the tools that those people use.

This kind of person, climbed down from a cliff and killed a house repair in front of his house?

"What level of cultivation does the old beard have?"

"He said it was three floors."

Only three floors?

How can it be?

"Haven't you been practicing for more than fifty years? Just after a few years, it can't be three layers. ”

Wu Yongchao thought for a moment and said: "I remember that time he was drunk and told me about cultivation.

He said that when he was young, he fought with the house spirit every day, and he beat you to the death, and later in order to avoid the house spirit, he moved to Tiemen Fort.

For some reason, his house spirit chased him to the Iron Gate Fort again, and the two of them continued to fight, and after more than 30 years, their cultivation did not grow, and they were full of injuries.

Later, Lao Hu Tou was old and couldn't fight anymore, so the house spirit gave him a three-layer cultivation, and the two continued to fight. ”

And this type of house spirit?

Li Banfeng felt more and more that he was very lucky to meet his mother.

"Why did you come to Iron Gate?"

Wu Yongchao lowered his head, he was reluctant to tell his experience, but the "merchant" asked, and he didn't know how to refuse.

"I used to live in Green Water Bay, not Green Water City, but a village outside the city.

I like to stay at home since I was a child, and my family is in a good situation, so I got some pills and saved up my Dao fate, and I wanted to learn martial arts.

But I didn't want to practice martial arts, so I found a merchant to secretly enter the house to repair, and my family thought I was unproductive, and I fell every day, so I bought a house in Lanyang Village and moved out to live. ”

Blue Poplar Village?

Li Banfeng nodded: "You are quite good at picking places." ”

Wu Yongchao smiled bitterly and said: "How can I pick a place, I want to know that Lanyang Village is such a place, and I will not be greedy to buy a house there,

The only good thing about Lanyang Village is that the house spirit comes quickly, and I just moved in less than a month before the house spirit is there. ”

yes, it must be fast, there are dead souls everywhere.

Wu Yongchao continued: "I can paint and cut, I thought that I could make a living by my own craft, but I didn't expect to do business in Lanyang Village, and I was cheated nine times out of ten!" ”

"Nine times?" Li Banfeng was very surprised, the simple folk customs of Lanyang Village actually cheated him nine times?

"Tell me more about how they let you go that time?"

Wu Yongchao smiled bitterly: "Don't say it, it's all over, and then the house spirit told me that this place can't be lived.

There's a good place that never bullies honest people, and he stayed there, so let me go and see it. ”

"He's talking about Iron Gate?"

Wu Yongchao nodded and said: "The house spirit is willing to go with me, but the house won't let us go, and the two of us fought with the house for a day and a night to escape, and we almost died.

The house spirit is very good to me, really good, I came to the Iron Gate Fort, settled down, and the house spirit took me to practice,

He said that the Iron Gate Fort has changed, it is not the same as before, but it can make do with it,

He said that I am talented, but I am too honest, and after more than ten years of entry, he let me cultivate to the fourth floor. ”

House repair is elusive at this point, when you meet the house spirit who has surrendered to the deed, the cultivation will grow very fast, and when you meet the house spirit who does not deal with it, the cultivation may stand still for decades.

Mrs. Han is an example, and so is the old beard.

"In Iron Gate Fort, what is the highest level of house repair?"

Wu Yongchao said without thinking: "It's four floors, it can't be any higher, and no matter how high it is, it can't stay in the fort." ”

"Who stipulates this?"

"This is the rule of the lord of Zhou Fort, he said, Tiemen Fort leaves food for the house repairers who have no ability, and the house repairs who have the ability to go out to go to their own future, and they can't rely on it for a lifetime."

Outrageous.

The combat power above the fourth floor is so valuable, and this castle lord still doesn't want it.

Maybe the people who are high have different ideas.

"It's not easy to move the house, and when the repair reaches the fifth floor, can you still force him to go?"

Wu Yongchao shook his head and said: "Don't force it, house repairs are all face-saving people, we never cause trouble to people, people say they want to go, we just go, it's a big deal to fight with our own house,

The year before last, Lao Wang Xiuwei, who lived diagonally opposite, reached the fifth floor, and the castle owner personally came to the door to persuade him to leave, and he agreed.

He fought with the house spirit for three whole days, and finally died in the house, he told me that the rules are the rules, and there is nothing to complain about. ”

Li Banfeng understood.

It's not that all of them are not suitable for outside life, but the house repairers who come here want to avoid the disturbances outside, and their temperament belongs to a very simple category in home repair.

Despite the hardships of life, there are many less unnecessary disputes here, and although the vendors will also oppress this group of honest people, it is much better than the outside to make them lose their money.

And this castle lord has a thorough grasp of the thoughts of this group of house repairers!

"Do you know what's going on up on this cliff?"

Wu Yongchao shook his head and said, "The cliff is the top of the mountain, what else can there be?" ”

No wonder he is said to be talented, he is not even familiar with the environment of Iron Gate Fort.

"Do you usually go out?"

"Do you mean the door, or the big iron door? We don't usually go out at the big iron gate......"

According to Wu Yongchao's account, other house repairs are almost the same, not easy to go out, not easy to move, rarely communicate with each other, and try to keep a distance from everything in the outside world.

In the middle of speaking, there was another knock on the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wu Yongchao looked at Li Banfeng.

See what I do? I'm in front of you, can I still knock it?

Wu Yongchao wanted to go to the door to take a look, but was stopped by Li Banfeng.

He motioned to Wu Yongchao to remain silent.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Sleeping? It's me, Ma Dingfu, I'm coming to you to talk about money! ”

Wu Yongchao was about to open the door again, but was stopped by Li Banfeng again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"How did you die? I tell you, don't pretend to be confused, you owe Lao Hu a life, I'll come back to you tomorrow! ”

Ma Dingfu is gone.

Wu Yongchao was ashamed.

"Blame me for this, blame me, I sold the house, and I have to make enough money to say anything."

Li Banfeng stared at Wu Yongchao's eyes and said, "Brother, I don't blame you for this, I don't blame you from beginning to end,

Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to leave the house unless you hear me call for the door, not a single step! ”

PS: There are some things, Li Banfeng saw five points, and the remaining five points were hidden under the mask, and Li Banfeng wanted to uncover him with his own hands!
