Chapter 39 A storm rises from the plains

Li Banfeng had a sweet dream one night. In his dream, there was always a goose feather tickling his ear.

After leaving the home, he found that it was noon again, and Li Banfeng realized that he must have a timing tool.

When I return to Yuezhou, these things are easy to talk about and can be solved with a mobile phone.

It's getting late, and I don't know if I can still buy a ticket.

Li Banfeng stepped out of his home and walked a few hundred meters on the street when he suddenly felt a strange reaction in his body.

Li Banfeng couldn't tell what his reaction was.

He searched the streets for vehicles, whether they were horse-drawn carriages or foreign cars, any car would be fine.

While scanning, he noticed that pedestrians around him were looking at him from time to time.

See what I do?

A suit and leather shoes, paired with a top hat, I look very decent today!

The pedestrians didn't mean any harm, they were just curious.

Strange, how do I know they don't have any malicious intentions?

Why are there so many strange reactions today?

The passers-by did not mean any harm. What they saw was not Li Banfeng's clothes but his unusual speed.

He didn't run, he just walked, with his hands in his pockets, walking casually down the street.

But his feet were moving his body forward rapidly in a trajectory that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. By the time Li Banfeng noticed something strange, he had already reached the end of the street.

I didn't want to leave so fast...

Looking at the rapidly retreating houses on both sides of the street, Li Banfeng tried his best to restrain his steps.

He really didn't take the initiative to exert force, nor did he feel any fatigue.

And these legs seem to be equipped with motors, so they can't stop without applying the brakes.

It was difficult to control even when the brakes were applied. Li Banfeng could stand still, but as long as he stepped forward, he seemed to rush forward at a speed of twenty miles.

This is not good. Why can’t I even walk normally?

Is this caused by the poisonous fog in Bitter Mist Mountain?

Is this a temporary symptom or irreversible damage?

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Li Banfeng still reached the edge of the ditch in a short period of time.

He originally wanted to find a quiet place to control his legs and feet. When he passed a big banyan tree, a rickshaw under the tree attracted his attention.

First, take a rickshaw to the train station, buy a ticket, get on the train, enter your home, and then train your legs and feet.

While thinking, without stopping, Li Banfeng walked several dozen meters without stopping. Li Banfeng backed up and came to the coachman. He stopped with difficulty and asked, "How much does it cost to go to the train station?"

The coachman took a puff of dry cigarette, raised his head, looked at Li Banfeng and said with a smile: "You go to the station, do you still need to take a car?"

Li Banfeng stared at the coachman for a moment.

He knew this coachman, Monkey Qiu had hired him, and he was a coachman with a steam wheel.

It was he who pulled Li Banfeng from the station to where the peddler was, for which Hou Qiu paid a full five hundred fare.

The coachman was right. The station was not far from Ligou. With Li Banfeng's speed, he could reach it in the blink of an eye.

But Li Banfeng didn't know the way.

The coachman stood up and pointed to the loess road in front of him: "Go north along this road for three and a half miles, turn east, walk two miles, then go north, less than one mile, there is a fork, walk another two miles.

Just arrived at the train station.”

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "It's too troublesome, so we'd better take a car."

The coachman held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "What's the trouble? You've reached the first level of the travel station and you can't find the way?"

really.

This weird speed is not caused by the poisonous mist of Bitter Mist Mountain, it is caused by the higher level of traveling cultivators.

Why did travel training reach a higher level?

Because Li Banfeng stayed in a dangerous place for a day and a night.

While on the bitter mist mountain, he was so dizzy from being choked by the poisonous mist that Li Banfeng forgot the salesman's instructions.

Staying in a dangerous place for a day and a night means traveling to a higher level.

Kuwu Mountain is a dangerous place, which means that Li Banfeng passed the test of traveling as a cultivator and became a first-level cultivator.

It is a good thing that your travel training has reached a higher level.

But don't go up too fast, otherwise you will get backlash from the home builder.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. You can't give birth to a house spirit while living with you, and you can't go up a level as a house cultivator. In the future, home cultivators will inevitably be suppressed by traveling cultivators. All Li Banfeng can do is to control the gap between the two sides.

"Why didn't you feel anything yesterday?" Li Banfeng muttered to himself.

The driver asked: "When did you pass the first level?"

"I was in Kuwu Mountain the day before yesterday." Li Banfeng answered truthfully.

The coachman smiled and said: "I passed the customs the day before yesterday and went up to the next level today. It's pretty fast. Most people have to wait for three to five days. Little brother, you are lucky. Hurry to the station."

Li Banfeng said to the coachman: "I'm too lazy to walk. Since you are pulling a coach here, why don't you do business if you have business?"

The driver was stunned for a moment: "You have to take my car? Do you know the price of my car? Someone else's car costs 8 yuan, but I have to charge you 200."

"Two hundred, I'll give it!" Li Banfeng took out two hundred bills and gave them to the driver.

Li Banfeng felt a certain sense of intimacy with this coachman, and he firmly believed that he gave him the right two hundred yuan.

The driver touched the lines on the banknotes and said with a smile: "Okay, I can tell you that my car will be there in the blink of an eye."

"Can you walk slower?" Li Banfeng made a seemingly unreasonable request.

The driver understood what Li Banfeng meant: "It's okay to go slower, but the slower you go, the higher the price will be. Five hundred yuan, just two words, go. Do you agree?"

The two words refer to the two numbers on the dial, which means ten minutes of walking.

Li Banfeng nodded: "Promise."

The coachman sighed: "The fat is in your mouth. It's okay if you don't eat it. Let's get in the car."

Li Banfeng got on the foreign cart, and the driver pulled the cart and walked north carelessly.

Li Banfeng asked: "What level of travel cultivator are you at?"

He saw that the driver was a traveling repairman. The first time he rode in his car, the driver had already demonstrated his ability as a traveling repairman. However, Li Banfeng did not know the concept of traveling repairman at that time.

The coachman did not answer: "For five hundred yuan, I just want to ask about my cultivation. Do you think it's appropriate? These two words go by very quickly. You can ask something else."

"Do traveling cultivators usually walk so fast?"

"Do you think I'm walking fast?" As he spoke, the coachman walked forward step by step, at the same speed as a normal person.

"But why am I walking so fast?"

The coachman explained: "The way you moved just now caused the wind to rise on the flat ground. This is the skill of a traveling practitioner.

A travel practitioner who has just reached a higher level will not be able to tighten his feet, so he needs to practice for a few more days before he can move and relax freely."

"How to practice?"

The driver pointed to a pressurized water well on the street: "Have you ever used a pressurized water well? In the past, walking was like waving your arms to press water. Now you have to hold back your strength. The water that comes out is thinner than a hemp rope.

Only in this way can we walk like normal people.”

Thinner than a hemp rope?

"This is not easy to handle."

"There is a trick, start with the first strength from the big crotch, move forward slowly one by one, then collect the second strength from the kneecap, and follow the hip bone forward.

Next is the ankle, and then the toes, one by one. As long as you have enough understanding, you can get a rough idea in one day."

Li Banfeng gave a wry smile: "When you reach a higher level, do you have to learn to walk again?"

"Don't think it's troublesome. It's not going well at first, and you'll have to fall a lot. Once you learn the ropes, you can walk sixty or seventy miles in an hour."

With this speed, basic practice of twenty miles a day can be completed in less than half an hour.

But the problem is...

"Is it enough to walk twenty miles a day for a first-level travel training?"

"Not enough!" The coachman shook his head repeatedly. "If we travel in an ordinary place, we need to travel at least fifty miles a day."

Fifty miles?

It's not a big problem either.

"What is an ordinary place?"

"The streets and alleys are ordinary places."

"What is an unusual place?"

"Go up the mountain. The steeper the mountain, the better. You can also go into the water. The deeper, the better. There is a muddy swamp in Lanqing Village. You can walk out of it for two miles. This day's practice is enough.

There is Daogei Ridge in Yangcha Mountain. If you walk one mile on the mountain ridge, you will not only get enough for your practice, but you will also be able to save a whole day.

The essence of traveling cultivation lies in this dangerous location. The more dangerous the terrain, the faster your cultivation will improve."

Li Banfeng was very moved: "On Kuwu Mountain, your cultivation level has improved very quickly, right?"

The coachman shook his head and said: "I advise you to go less to that place. It's scattered up and down the mountain. You have no idea how many people lost their lives on that mountain.

The reason you are able to come back alive is because you have a good life. Your life is indeed good. You can survive even if the light shines on you. If you have a good life, you should cherish your life. It is not worth sacrificing such a good life for a few dollars."

"I go to Kuwu Mountain to make money. Money is not easy to make after all." Li Banfeng felt deeply about this.

The driver shook his head and smiled: "There are many profitable jobs, and pulling carts is a good job. Last time I took on your urgent job, I made five hundred in one trip. Today I took on your job again and made another five hundred."

,

I heard that this year, all the major drug stores are selling snakehead chrysanthemums for only twenty-five yuan a plant. Tell me yourself, who makes more money?"

According to what he said, it is indeed better to earn more money by pulling a car.

The coachman smiled and said, "You look down on this profession and think pulling a carriage is embarrassing. I also look down on you life-hungry people and think your lives are cheap."

Li Banfeng stopped arguing with the coachman about his profession, and instead asked: "How should I find a suitable place to practice? Even if it is a bit dangerous, is it not too dangerous?"

The coachman answered briefly: "Dangerous places must be traveled within your capabilities, and dangerous people must be kept at a respectful distance. Kuwu Mountain is both a dangerous place and full of dangerous people. You should not go to such a place!"

“How do I tell the difference between a dangerous place and a dangerous person?”

"Tourist cultivators can sense danger. This is called pursuing good fortune and avoiding danger. This is also a technique only available to first-level traveling cultivators. It can not only see dangerous places, but also dangerous people."

Li Banfeng's eyes lit up: "There are two techniques for a first-level traveling cultivator?"
