Lord of Puluo

#745 - Breaking the Curse

Li Banfeng bought a ship, which was driven by a group of shadows, and took Zhang Wanlong and Xiao Genzi to Baishun County.

Xiao Genzi had never been on a ship before, so this trip was new to him, as if there were endless beautiful sights to see.

Zhang Fanglong traveled all over the country and took many boat rides, but he felt very dizzy and kept vomiting along the way.

When they reached the end of Haishi, Li Banfeng made advance calls and the Customs Office sent people to open the boundary. The ship sailed for another two days and finally arrived at Baishun County.

When he arrived at Baitao Island, Zhang Wanlong felt numb all over and fell to the ground.

Under the introduction of Li Banfeng, Ling Baitao presented peaches.

After taking a bite of the delicious peach, Zhang Wanlong gradually recovered, his face became rosy, and he had some strength back in his body. But when he saw the peach tree on the island, the color drained away from his face again.

"Is this a tree?" The leader of the farming and cultivation team could tell at a glance that all the peach trees on the island were not trees.

Ling Baitao said nothing.

Li Banfeng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhang, haven't you been to Baishun County?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said, "I haven't been here."

"How do you know the seeds don't work here if you haven't been here?"

"Someone bought seeds from me before and sent them to White Falcon County, but the seeds didn't work and they had a conflict with me afterwards."

Zhang Wanlong walked around the island and was horrified at first. But when Li Banfeng told him the origins of these trees, Zhang Wanlong was full of admiration and saluted towards the peach forest.

He collected some soil and studied its characteristics carefully. Ling Baitao asked about the origin of this man, and Li Banfeng said, "This is the cultivator I found to help you farm."

Ling Baitao smiled and shook her head slightly.

The peddler had hired many farmers, but no one could successfully farm in Baishun County. Ling Baitao didn't have much hope for Zhang Wanlong, but since he was brought here by Li Qi, he had to at least let him try.

Zhang Wanlong studied for a whole day, selected a piece of land, took some eggplant seeds, and planted them in the soil.

This type of eggplant was first grown by Xu Han, and then improved by Zhang Fanglong.

Genzi knew this kind of seed. The biggest feature of these eggplants was their good resistance to poison: "Brother, do you think the soil here is poisonous?"

"Nothing grows except peaches, it must be poisonous."

Zhang Fanglong's tone sounded like he was just guessing, and he was unsure. When the potion was dripped, the eggplants began to sprout. Zhang Wanlong was delighted and said, "See? This is your brother's eyesight."

Genzi picked up the spoon and said, "Brother, you are very capable. With eggplants, we have soldiers."

"We can't just grow eggplants, we also have to--"

The eggplant seedlings withered before the roots were fertilized.

The newly grown green leaves turned yellow in a blink of an eye, and before Genzi could put down the bucket, the leaves fell off first.

"What kind of poison is so strong?" Genzi was very surprised. The poison took effect too quickly.

Zhang Wanlong grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it for a long time: "We have to study it carefully and think of a way to detoxify it.

Ling Baitao stepped forward and said to Zhang Wanlong: "Thank you for your kindness, my friend who has come from afar. This land is under a curse and there is no way to detoxify it."

Upon hearing the curse, Zhang Fanglong looked worried, as removing the curse was much more complicated than removing the poison.

Li Banfeng was not familiar with spell cultivation. He had only heard his wife talk about it: "Brother Zhang, do you know any spell cultivators? I'll ask him to come over and help."

"I know a few of them, but I can't say I'm familiar with them. These people are not familiar at all.

Curse cultivators are not easy to deal with, so I advise you not to go looking for them. Even if you don't provoke them, you may still suffer losses."

My wife once said that the Taoist sect of curse cultivation is the most sinister among the hundreds of sects in the world.

Zhang Wanlong added: "Besides, one spell cultivator has one method. Even if I gather all the spell cultivators I know, they may not be able to break the spell here."

"Then let's change the soil." Li Banfeng found a deserted place and took a group of shadows to unload the soil from the portable residence.

This soil was brought by Li Banfeng from Xindi, and Zhang Fanglong's seeds were all grown on this land.

"Is it an old car that is eaten by the sea?" Zhang Wanlong is really knowledgeable and even knows about it.

Li Banfeng shook his head and Zhang Wanlong didn't ask any more questions.

With the new soil, Zhang Wanlong was confident. Instead of planting eggplants this time, he planted winter melons. Winter melons are big and strong, and can carry a lot of weight.

Not long after growing in the new soil, the winter melon seedlings withered.

This soil doesn't work either.

Li Banfeng asked, "Is there something wrong with the water?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said, "I just watered the seedlings with water from the kettle. I brought this water from the underground city.

The spell has nothing to do with water or soil, so where did it fall?"

Li Banfeng couldn't answer, but fortunately, the curse cultivator also had a nemesis.

My wife said that the peeping cultivator is most effective against the spell cultivator. When their levels are equal, the peeping cultivator can eradicate the spell completely.

He touched the Qiansi earrings. Qiansi was very attentive. Ever since Ling Baitao mentioned the spell, she had been looking for the source of the spell, but she had been searching for a long time. The Qiansi earrings did not find any clues. The level of this spell was much higher than hers.

If pulling the thread doesn't work, there's still pineapple.

Li Banfeng replaced the pineapple with Lian Kuo's bridal chamber and let the projector follow behind him to conceal the pineapple's figure as much as possible.

Pineapple walked around White Peach Island and smelled the scent of magic, but couldn't find the source of the magic.

The black spots on his face were twisted into one piece, and the pineapple could hardly hold on.

He had been through many battles and encountered many powerful enemies, winning and losing were common, but he had never lost to a curse cultivator.

Li Banfeng felt that the root of the curse might not be on Baitao Island. There are five islands in Baixuan County. Li Banfeng took Pineapple to Huangtao Island.

The situation on the Yellow Peach Island is the same, and the same goes for the Flat Peaches, Nectarines, and Honey Peaches. There are curses on all the islands, but the source cannot be found.

Pineapple's self-esteem was hurt and he sat on the beach feeling unhappy.

Zhang Wanlong became more and more courageous. He spent two days using his skills to plant a batch of sweet potatoes in the new soil.

“This technique is called deep-rooted. It can resist disease, poison, and curse. Although it is not very effective in fighting, it has a high yield. If a fight really comes, let the sweet potatoes take the lead and bear the knife!” Zhang Wanlong is indeed a genius in farming and cultivation. This batch of sweet potatoes has grown successfully.

Li Banfeng sat by the field, waiting for the sweet potatoes to turn into sweet potato men.

After waiting for a few hours, Zhang Fanglong smiled and said, "There are only peaches to eat in Baishun County. I want to give them something else to eat."

The sweet potato succeeded, but the sweet potato man failed.

A sweet potato is more than one meter tall. Zhang Wanlong planted a large area of ​​it. Ling Baitao quickly asked people to harvest the sweet potatoes and distribute them to every household.

The islanders were very happy to have sweet potatoes to eat and expressed their gratitude to Zhang Wanlong.

The more they thanked him, the colder Zhang Wanlong felt.

Sitting by the field, Zhang Fanglong stroked his beard and said, "I put a lot of effort into those sweet potatoes. How powerful of a spell could it be that a sweet potato like me can't even make a sweet potato?"

Li Banfeng said: "It's good to have sweet potatoes, they can be eaten as food."

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said, "It's not enough to just eat sweet potatoes. We need to eat something else. Let's not talk about food first. We are here to reinforce the White Falcon County. What's the key point?"

Zhang Fanglong didn't sleep all night, and neither did Pineapple.

On the next morning, Pineapple found Li Banfeng and said, "Seventh Master, can you take me to fly higher?"

"How high do you want to fly?"

The top of the cave is less than ten meters above the sea level. If Li Banfeng wants to fly again, he has to cut off the path to open a path. It is already quite difficult to open up another ten meters.

Pineapple estimated the distance: "It has to fly at least thirty meters."

Li Banfeng raised his head and looked at the top of the cave: "Let me give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll have to call Hong Ying over.

He grabbed the pineapple and used his skill of riding the wind and clouds to fly to the ceiling, then used the broken path to create a gap.

Went in with the pineapple.

The gap is fifteen meters deep, and including the distance from the ceiling to the ground, the overall height is more than twenty meters.

But Pineapple was not satisfied: "Seventh Master, I can't see anything in this gap. My vision is too severely obstructed."

Li Banfeng used cutting to open a path and widened the gap a little.

The vision was still not enough, Li Banfeng could only hold on.

After driving for more than an hour, Li Banfeng was exhausted and fell to the ground. He started to learn how to cut off the path and make way.

He has never practiced as hard as he did today.

Pineapple took a piece of paper and began to sketch the size and location of the five islands.

Given the flight altitude and field of vision just now, ordinary people cannot see the entire picture of the Five Islands.

But Pineapple was a high-level voyeur. He combined the observations from different locations and drew the layout of the White Falcon Five Islands.

"Magic circle!" Pineapple saw the source of the spell, "Seventh Master, these five islands were built according to the spell circle. The direction, distance and size all match the spell circle. No wonder the spell can't find its source. The source is on these five islands."

Li Banfeng couldn't understand the spell formation: "Is there a way to resolve it?"

"Yes, fill the sea." Pineapple combined his previous experience in breaking the formation and thought of a way. "I just measured it. The sea water here is not very deep. Fill another island in the sea, and turn the five White Falcon Islands into six islands. Then the spell will be broken."

Land reclamation is a huge project. It will take a long time to create an island.

But this is also a solution. Li Banfeng immediately contacted Tan Jinxiao and asked him to prepare a boat to transport soil to Baiji County.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Wanlong stopped Li Qi and said, "Reclamation won't work."

He was a farmer and was very sensitive to the land: "The land in the sea was moving, the land around was moving, only these five islands were not moving.

If you fill the sea with soil, once the ground moves, the soil will go to other places, so it will be useless no matter how much you fill it with.

After hearing what Zhang Wanlong said, Li Banfeng remembered something. In fact, these five islands themselves could move.

Once the exit is opened in Nengzhou, the five islands will move below the exit.

Filling the soil really doesn't work, so what other options are there?

Zhang Fanglong made up his mind: "Give me some more time, I will definitely be able to break this spell."

For several days, Zhang Wanlong used the new soil and his deep-rooted technique to grow potatoes, pumpkins, cabbages and Hami melons.

The food in Baishuan County has become much more abundant, but the farmers haven't grown any.

The soil Li Banfeng brought was limited and its fertility was almost exhausted.

Zhang Fanglong was so exhausted that he could hardly hold on any longer.

On this day, a cargo ship arrived in Baishun County. This was arranged by Li Banfeng. Every month, cargo ships come to deliver supplies.

Li Banfeng walked around the boat to see if there was anything suitable that could help Zhang Wanlong. Unexpectedly, Tan Jinxiao came with the boat himself: "Seventh Master, I heard that my junior brother is here. Where is he?"

"Your junior fellow apprentice?"

"Of course, the two junior brothers came here together!"

Li Banfeng thought about it and realized that since Tan Jinxiao was a Jin cultivator, it was possible that he was Master Xu's disciple.

Li Banfeng pointed at Zhang Wanlong and Xiao Genzi at the edge of the field, and Tan Jinxiao quickly asked someone to bring the gifts: "Seventh Master, I'll go talk to my two junior brothers, you go and welcome the old man."

"Which old man?"

"Who else could it be? Our master!" Tan Jinxiao lowered his voice and said, "Our old man has been in charge of his own little piece of land all his life. He doesn't want to get involved in other people's affairs.

But now that he was here, he really had to ask for money, but he couldn't save his face and was too embarrassed to get off the boat.

R

"It's okay! I'll go find him!" Li Banfeng happily got on the boat.

Tan Jinxiao came up to Zhang Wanlong and Xiao Genzi with gifts in hand.

The two brothers did not know Tan Jinxiao, so Tan Jinxiao said cheerfully: "I became a disciple earlier, and you entered later, so we are brothers who must be sworn brothers. I am your eldest brother, you are your eldest brother, and he is your youngest brother!

This little bit of stuff is a little gift from me, you guys can keep it first."

Li Banfeng arrived at the cabin and met Mr. Xu.

Old Xu stood by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking out the window: "I was passing by here, and I took a look at this useless disciple."

At this point, Mr. Xu paused for a moment and asked, "How are they doing?"

He knew that Zhang Fanglong and Genzi were here, and he also knew what they were doing.

Li Banfeng said: "Things are not going smoothly. The five islands of Bai Falcon County have formed a spell array. Nothing can be grown using the original land of Bai Falcon County. Even if the soil is changed and the techniques are used, only food can be grown."

"So it's a curse." Old Xu had heard that Baishun County was a special place, but he didn't know the reason. He really didn't want to get involved in things outside of his own business.

Old Xu went up on the deck, looked at the direction, flew a circle close to the top of the cave, and roughly grasped the distribution of the five islands.

Li Banfeng gave Mr. Xu a picture. This picture was drawn by Pineapple and the dimensions were very precise. Mr. Xu figured out some tricks from the drawing.

"This spell is not simple. It is indeed difficult for Zhang Wanlong to break it with farming skills alone. To break the evil spirit, we need to look at the golden light!" Old Xu thought for a long time and wrote a prescription. "Give this to Tan Jinxiao and Genzi.

Let them help Fang Long."

Li Banfeng took the recipe with him. Zhang Wanlong was not a goldsmith, so he couldn't understand it. After reading it, Tan Jinxiao frowned and said, "It's hard to find materials of this quality."

Genzi is very confident: "There are so many people in Baishun County. As long as we work hard, we will definitely find the right one."

"Okay, I won't leave. Let's work together to find a solution."

After unloading the cargo, the cargo ship returned. Tan Jinxiao stayed on the island, and Mr. Xu moved to Li Banfeng's passenger ship.

It took two days for Tan Jinxiao and Genzi to mix a bucket of golden juice and sprinkle it directly on the fields.

According to Mr. Xu's request, the fields were cultivated for two days and then Zhang Wanlong started sowing again.

This time there was some improvement, the seedlings grew a lot taller, but they withered before they could grow fully grown.

Zhang Wanlong saw hope and decided to change the seeds.

At night, when no one was around, Mr. Xu checked the seedlings, returned to the boat, and changed the recipe of the golden juice.

After trying for more than ten days, I still couldn't grow any farmers.

Li Banfeng was getting more and more anxious. Ling Baitao advised him, "Brother, don't make things difficult for these friends. They brought so much food. We are very grateful. The peddler also tried to break the spell here, but even he failed."

Yes, the peddler must have thought of many ways. Even if it was just to get something to eat for Bai Falcon County, he would try his best to break the curse.

If the peddler can’t do it, is there any other way?

Zhang Wanlong stood on the ridge of the field, watching the leaves swaying gently in the cornfield.

He knew his master was coming.

He quietly left the field and found Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, go and take care of things first, we still need a lot of time here."

"Will it work?" Li Banfeng was unsure.

"It's possible!" Zhang Wanlong held a handful of seeds and kept looking towards the direction of the field.

Old Xu cursed in the field: "If I meet that bastard who cast the curse, I will throw him into a bucket and soak him for the rest of his life!"

Tan Jinxiao said, "Master, why are you saying such angry words? We don't encounter any curse cultivators. They always do evil things behind people's backs and never in front of others."

Xu Han glared at Tan Jinxiao and said, "Do I need you to teach me this?"

A large area of ​​corn had dried up, and Xu Han couldn't swallow this.

Late at night, he came to Tan Jinxiao and whispered, "Give me some old phlegm."

Tan Jinxiao asked in a satisfied tone: "How old do you want to be?"

"Soak in water for three days without melting!"

"This is not easy to do."

Xu Han gritted his teeth and said, "If you can do it, I'll come back to you!"

"What's the use of this key thing?"

"Don't waste your time talking, just get it done!"

"Master, you have a bad temper. Aren't you desperate to seek medical help?"

Qiao Yi was fumbling with the official document and had just read half of it when Nian Shangyou came in and said he had something important to report.

This interrupted Qiao Yi's train of thought, and he had to read the entire document again.

After all, fingers are no match for one's eyes, and one cannot concentrate and think while reading.

This is just looking at official documents. Looking at people is more troublesome. Today in the meeting hall, when Qiao Yi was handling government affairs in person, he didn't know where the Minister of Revenue was, and he made many mistakes in his words and deeds.

There was no way around it. Qiao Yi couldn't touch the Minister of Revenue's face in front of everyone.

I was feeling depressed and had no place to vent my worries when Nian Shangyou came.

"What do you want?" Qiao Yi asked sternly.

Nian Shangyou said, "Prince Pingyuan has arrived in Chaoge."

Qiao Yi was stunned. No matter how he invited Li Qi before, he refused to come, but now he actually came on his own initiative.

"What is he here for?"

"He said he came to visit the lord."

Qiao Yi's heart trembled: "Why do you want to visit me?"

Nian Shangyou shook his head: "He didn't tell me the reason. He just told me that he came to visit, not to visit."

Qiao Yi was stunned and asked, "Can he see it?"

Nian Shangyou thought for a moment and said, "From what I have seen, Li Qi can move freely and does not need help from others. He came to Tianyi City alone this time, and the Luo sisters did not accompany him."

Qiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please go to the main hall to talk."

Li Banfeng arrived at the main hall, and Qiao Yi went to greet the guests. The sound in the main hall was blocked, leaving only Nian Shangyou to serve.

When the two met, Li Banfeng took Qiao Yi's hand and said, "Brother Qiao, I'm here to see you. I can see you clearly. Can you see me?"

Qiao Yi laughed dryly and did not answer.

After sitting down, Li Banfeng asked someone, "Where is Shan Chengjun? I have long heard of Wu Zu's name, and I really want to meet him."

Qiao Yi sighed, "Your Highness, you are joking. Shan Chengjun has followed the fake king and defected to the Tufang Kingdom. He is now an enemy of the Shang Dynasty."

"He defected from Hijikata? He didn't go there empty-handed, did he offer a treasure to the Demon Lord?"

Qiao Yi said: "I don't know about this matter."

Li Banfeng gritted his teeth and said, "You said you don't know, then how did my eyes become damaged?"

Qiao Yi pretended to be surprised: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Still pretending? Didn't you instigate Shan Chengjun to hurt my eyes?"

Qiao Yi immediately denied it: "Qiao is totally unaware of this matter."

"If you didn't know, why did you let Nian Shangyou come to find me? If you didn't know, why did you go blind? You violated the contract and harmed me, and now you are suffering retribution, and you still dare to say you didn't know?"

Qiao Yi was speechless: "I am also investigating the reason here."

"Take your time to investigate. Let's not talk about the past. Now that I can see, do you still plan to remain blind?

Qiao Yi understood Li Qi's intention: "Your Highness, please tell me the price."

"Great!" Li Qi picked up the tea bowl and made a price, "Give me a city."

"Which city does your highness want?"

"Bocheng."

Qiao Yi shuddered.

Nian Shangyou almost laughed out loud.

Hao City?

Why don’t you want Chaoge?

Nian Shangyou kept his mouth tightly shut. He must not say these words out loud. If he did, Li Qi might really attack Chaoge.

Qiao Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, don't joke."

Li Banfeng said seriously: "No kidding, I chose Haocheng. I especially like the altar."

Qiao Yi's face was stern: "Such jokes are really too much."

Li Banfeng said: "Then there is no room for negotiation."

Qiao Yi said: "Qiao is blind, but his heart is still bright. Even if I cannot see the light of day again in this life, I cannot give away my ancestors' inheritance to others."

After saying that, Qiao Yi turned his eyes to Li Banfeng. At that moment, it seemed as if he could see it too.

Li Banfeng looked back at Qiao Yi and nodded slightly: "Do you think you have eyes because you took the peeper powder? I will spread the news tomorrow and let the whole Shang country know that you are blind. Do you think you will reveal your flaws?"

Qiao Yi didn't say anything, so there would definitely be flaws.

Li Banfeng continued: "There are many techniques related to vision in peeping cultivation. How can you cultivate in the future if you are blind?

If you can't practice, can you still save your life?"

After saying that, Li Banfeng got up and left.

Nian Shangyou stepped forward to stop Li Qi and said, "Your Highness, calm down. You can't set a price in one sentence. Please let us make an offer."

"No bargaining, I want Haocheng!" Li Banfeng pushed Nian Shangyou away and wanted to walk out.

Qiao Yi shouted, "I recently found out the whereabouts of the Grand Master of the Craftsmen Sect. Your Highness, do you want to know?"

Li Banfeng turned around and asked, "Let me be clear first, does the master of craftsmanship refer to the old train?"

Qiao Yi nodded and said, "That's the man, Your Highness. I'll tell you the whereabouts of the master of the craftsmanship, and you'll tell me the method of curing the eyes. How do you think we can make this deal?"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. Whereabouts and methods are all vague and illusory things. They don't sound real enough."

Qiao Yi said: "Then please tell me a more realistic price, Your Highness."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "You still owe me two cities, right?"

Qiao Yi nodded: "I will never deny these two cities, but you still need to discuss with me which two cities they are."

Li Banfeng said, "I don't want these two cities anymore. I can still cure your eyes, but you have to let me bring the old train back to Prostate intact. Deal?"

Nian Shangyou looked at Qiao Yi.

Two cities and a pair of eyes in exchange for the life of an old train. This price is fair.

Qiao Yi considered it over and over again, and told Nian Shangyou, "Prepare the deed."

Outside Chaoge City, Tianyicheng was diving in the sea, Banfengyi was controlling the direction, Basuan was pointing out the location, and Pineapple was adjusting the radio.

The radio received many voices, but not a single message was about the Bandit Suppression Camp.

Pineapple angrily scolded Basuan: "Is this the best place you chose?"

"What do you know? This is called topology!" Ba Suan held up a piece of draft paper. "I don't know where the Bandit Suppression Camp is, but I know that this is where the most signals can be received."

Crash! Crash!

The dragon bone water station outside the door stood up.

Ban Fengyi was startled: "Everyone be careful, someone has sneaked into Tianyi City."

The dragon-bone waterwheel was standing at the door, and in front of it was an old man with gray hair, a round face, a big nose, and big eyes.

"Brother!" Ban Fengyi came to the door, and the man in front of him was none other than the train master.

"Why do you call me brother?" The train driver said with a cold expression.

Ban Fengyi said: "We are brothers. We decided this in Mengqian Tower."

"Who did you decide with?"

"It was arranged with the train master!"

"I'm not the train master, I'm his shadow!"

Ban Fengyi said: "I am also a shadow."

The train master thought for a moment, looked at Ban Fengyi, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, why are you here?"

PS: Old Train, Lao Qi is here to save you!
