Chapter 249 Saint
Li Banfeng returned to Suishenju and told his wife about the meeting in ten days.
The wife pondered for a while and said, "My husband, I think you should not see him."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "How can I go out without seeing him?"
The wife said solemnly, "My dear husband, let's think of another way."
Honglian hissed, as if agreeing with the record player's statement.
Hongying snorted coldly and said, "You should know what kind of person has a cocoon pupa in his hand. As for your own ability, you have some sense in your heart. However, these ten days are indeed a long time."
Li Banfeng was also very curious, why did the other party give him ten days?
Back to Engong Village, Li Banfeng asked people to step up their vigilance. He suspected that the saint would take advantage of these ten days to suddenly take action and catch them off guard.
In fact, he had the same plan and wanted to give the saint a surprise.
On the second day, the saint did not show up, nor did his disciples, but dozens of people came to join Engong Village.
Their reasons were similar to those of others. They could not stand the exploitation of Shengxian Mountain and the bullying of the saint's disciples.
Among them, one woman suffered the most.
This person was a cultivator in her early twenties, named Dong Qiaoqin.
She was a foreigner. She entered the cultivation sect at the age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen, she was abducted to Jingde Village and sold to a family as a daughter-in-law.
At the age of sixteen, she consummated her marriage with her husband and the couple gave birth to a pair of children.
Although she was only a cultivator, Dong Qiaoqin was proficient in farming, sericulture, poultry and livestock, and lived a happy life.
When she was twenty years old, her husband contradicted the saint's disciples, and was beaten to death in the village along with her two children.
She happened to go to the next village to buy silkworm seedlings that day, and she was lucky to save her life.
When she returned to the village, she received the bad news that her family was broken up, and Dong Qiaoqin almost committed suicide.
From then on, the villagers' attitude towards her changed.
The reason was not "short-sightedness" but "almost".
In the eyes of the villagers of Jingde Village, Dong Qiaoqin should die, and should die with her husband and children.
The fact that she didn't die proved that something was wrong.
Especially Dong Qiaoqin's husband's family, they insisted that Dong Qiaoqin had colluded with the disciples of the saint and deliberately killed her husband.
They didn't dare to argue with the disciples of the saint, and they vented their anger on Dong Qiaoqin.
For two whole years, Dong Qiaoqin's property was robbed, and she was bullied and beaten countless times.
First, her husband's family beat her, then the villagers of Jingde Village beat her, then the villagers of the surrounding villages beat her, and even the disciples of the saint came to beat her.
Why did the disciples of the saint beat her?
Because he felt that he didn't get any advantage, but his reputation was ruined by her, and this revenge must be avenged.
Just half a month ago, Dong Qiaoqin was besieged by a group of villagers. The only food in her home was robbed, and she was beaten so hard that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. Life was really unbearable, so Dong Qiaoqin went into the forest and took refuge in Engong Village.
Xiao Yeci felt very sympathetic to this poor woman, and even made a bed in his house to live with her.
Dong Qiaoqin was indeed a capable woman. After settling down, she chose a piece of land on the edge of the forest, sprinkled a bag of quick seeds, and started farming.
The land was not small. Although Dong Qiaoqin had skills, she couldn't take care of it alone. Xiao Yeci called many members of the mountain village to farm with her.
These people had suffered in the village, and their farming skills were beyond doubt.
This bag of quick seeds was also very special. It was much faster than the seeds in Haichiling. The seeds were sown on the same day, the ears emerged on the next day, and the grain was harvested on the third day, and the harvest was 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 30 yuan and went to other villages to buy a lot of poultry and livestock.
Raised chickens and ducks, drove cattle and sheep, and after another three days, the chicken coop, duck coop, and livestock shed were all built.
Dong Qiaoqin went to the village to buy some silkworm seedlings, picked mulberry leaves, built a silkworm house, and raised silkworms with the women in the village.
"This is a good thing, a good thing..." Xiao Yeci repeatedly reminded himself that this was a good thing, but he felt that something seemed wrong.
Dong Qiaoqin also felt wronged: "Sister Xiao, what did I do wrong?"
Xiao Yeci couldn't say it, so she went to find Li Banfeng: "My benefactor, I always feel that this Miss Dong is not right, but I can't tell what's wrong."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I know she is not right."
"Was she sent by the 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 her experiences were all true."
Xiao Yeci hesitated for a while and said, "If it is true, it proves that I am too suspicious."
Li Banfeng still shook his head: "Don't worry, she may be sent by the saint."
Xiao Yeci looked puzzled: "Then I don't understand."
Li Banfeng smiled bitterly: "I don't understand either. She suffered so much, why does she still work for the saint?"
Xiao Yeci said: "Let's drive her away, benefactor, it's not convenient for you to do it, just leave it to me."
Li Banfeng sighed: "What can you do? After driving Dong Qiaoqin away, what will you say to others?
Tell them that growing food is wrong? Tell them that robbing 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..."
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 Mr. Master 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 exposed 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 one way." The record player turned its trumpet to Hong Ying, "Listen to my husband and use all your power on the battlefield."
"Wicked woman, that madman went crazy, and you went crazy too. Do you know how much risk you take by doing this? If the madman shows any cowardice, his life will be gone!
For this reason, we should avoid seeing him. That madman 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 matter. 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.
A surge of power came over, equal to the domineering power of the saint.
Li Banfeng took a sip of tea calmly: "I think I understand it very clearly."
The saint frowned, and the remaining half cup of tea was gently shaken in the cup.
PS: How many people can Bianfeng take with him?
