Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 8: It’s foggy
The streets are in chaos.
Lu Tong helped Dahan and leaned him against the wall.
He went back to get a pot of herbal tea and drank it.
Dahan slowly woke up, put the hanging tongue back into his mouth, pouted and said: "Boss, I have grown hair."
"What?"
Lu Tong touched Dahan's forehead. It was soft and fleshy, with not a single hair on it.
He thought about other places, twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said, "Where is the hair growing?"
According to Dahan's age, it's a bit late.
But don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal.
The hair is growing now, which means that Dahan is not yet an adult, and he may be able to gain some strength in the future.
Dahan also rubbed his forehead, then took off his clothes, turned his back to Lu Tongtong: "My head, back, and buttocks are all covered with hair."
Lu Tong touched it again, and it felt smoother than a woman's.
"No, where did you see the hair growing?"
"Just now, I felt dizzy and saw long hair."
Lu Tong guessed that it was the half-demon bloodline.
The bloodlines of half-demon are all kinds of strange, and some bloodlines awaken late. Maybe once they wake up, they will look completely different soon after their bloodline awakens.
There are good and bad aspects of bloodline awakening.
Dahan is stupid and weak, so there is basically no possibility of him becoming weak again, so it is probably a good thing.
The vibrations came repeatedly.
Seeing that the street was full, Lu Tong went back and moved a few tables and chairs, shouting loudly: "A new store is opening, one penny a bowl, a good start."
Soon, a group of people gathered around.
"Jingle, clang, clang."
Inside the huge bronze elephant that Blacksmith Liu had just given, the sound of copper coins going in kept making a loud sound.
A large group of people sat at the door of the teahouse.
But Lu Tong was hiding in the corner, with two books on his lap, "Jiezi" and "Geographical Records: Yunying City".
Sitting next to him was a reluctant child - Liu Caishun, the son of Blacksmith Liu.
After Lu Tong heard "fog", he immediately realized that this matter might be related to his own life.
But in Hoofu’s memory, he knows very little about Qiwu.
Ask Blacksmith Liu, and he didn’t know much. He only said that if something evil came from a distance, the Yiyi Sect would lead people to resist.
Lu Tong found an introduction from nine years ago in the topography, which contained the word "fog", and immediately handed the book to Liu Caishun.
"Xiao Shunzi, read this passage to my uncle, and he will give you candy."
The little guy immediately became energetic.
“I don’t want candy, I want the ‘Electric Light Thunder Beast’!”
"What?"
Lu Tong has never heard of this name, and it doesn’t sound like a bargain.
The little guy made a pair of horns with both hands, and said with bared teeth and claws: "I don't know this! The Thunder Ox runs very fast and screams like thunder! It only sells for half a tael of silver!"
"Okay, let's read it."
Lu Tong smiled and shook his head. This little guy really dared to speak like a lion.
Liu Caishun took the book very happily and read it seriously: "In the 756th year since the founding of Yunying City, there was an earthquake. The houses in the city collapsed... Five days later, the fog came. All the disciples led the people to resist and won a great victory. ”
A big win?
Lu Tong frowned.
That's not right.
Although Hoofu was still young nine years ago, he remembers very clearly that many familiar half-demon died at that time.
The content in the book may be false, but the memory is definitely true.
Lu Tong looked at the secret and numb text above and found a large section with the words "demon" and "half-demon".
"Read this passage."
There were children nearby who picked up a lot of weird things from the ruins. Liu Caishun immediately couldn't sit still and stood up to leave.
Lu Tong grabbed him.
Children want to eat peaches when they see them, and they want to tease dogs when they see them.
"No more lightning and thunder cows?"
Liu Caishun looked outside, then at the book, suddenly grabbed the book, looked at it twice and said quickly:
"This is the order to recruit demons, asking demons and half-demon to go up the mountain to resist the fog monsters. One is recruited for every two, and at least one from each family. As long as those outside the city grow up, they must go up the mountain, otherwise they will be imprisoned for thousands of years. Zhongshan."
After finishing reading, Liu Caishun dropped the book and ran away.
While running, he shouted: "Uncle Lu, it's the Lightning Thunder Beast, don't buy the wrong one!"
Lu Tong picked up the book and thought to himself: Being uneducated means you are at a disadvantage. You have to coax a child to read a book.
"Old Liu!"
"What are you doing?"
Tiejiang Liu was drinking and bragging nearby, turning his head with a red face.
"Your boy wants to find a wife, so I want you to prepare a betrothal gift quickly, and ask for a thunder cow."
"What! Brat, where are the people?"
Lu Tong shook his head and began to compare the two books.
It took him a while to finally figure out the whole story.
Basically the same as Liu Caishun said.
After the fog starts, there are fog monsters inside the fog.
For half-demon registered in the city, at least one half-demon from each family will go out of the city to defend against the fog monster. The more half-demon in the family, the more people will be recruited, at least one out of two will be chosen.
Those whose household registration is not in the city must fight against fog monsters as long as they grow up.
Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Both he and Dahan had their household registrations in the city.
If the rules remain the same this time, only one of them needs to be recruited.
……
The clouds lingered and it got dark very early.
After night fell, a dozen dazzling lights flashed across the city, and then a rumbling sound came:
"Each household of monsters and half-demon, return to the location of their household registration. All wild monsters gather at the gate of the city, and those who dare to hide will be killed without mercy! Anyone who hides monsters secretly is guilty of the same crime!"
Soon, the streets were crowded with strange half-demon and monster beasts.
Lu Tong asked Dahan to go back to the tea tavern with him. Just as he was about to close the door, a goat half-demon without hair or horns slammed into the door.
It looks like a shaved goat, except that the sheepskin has been replaced by human skin.
In addition, there is a bunch of long gray hair on the top of the head.
"Bah, save, baa! Please, save, life!"
Dahan sat down and blocked the door, then stretched out his pig head and pushed it against the goat outside the door.
Dahan is small in strength, but big in size;
The goat is strong but old.
There was a stalemate at the door for a while, no one could stand up to the other.
Lu Tong shook his head, grabbed the goat by its hair and threw it into the street.
Close the door, and there is another series of banging sounds.
Lu Tong moved a table against the door and said, "Let's go back to the room."
"Oh."
Lifting the curtain leading to the backyard, Lu Tong was stunned for a moment. ~IndoMTL.com~ The stone house where I slept was collapsed by the earthquake, and large and small stones rolled to the ground.
Misfortune never comes alone.
Lu Tong returned to the tea tavern feeling depressed.
Dahan seemed to sense that Lu Tong was depressed, so he made a pot of hot tea and sat quietly next to him.
It didn't take long.
There were various sounds of shouting, crying, wailing, and monks shouting and cursing from outside.
The more Lu Tong listened, the more panicked he became.
Many monsters and half-monsters, although their brains are not good, are born with a keen sense of danger, and they feel great danger.
He stood up and rubbed Dahan's pig head, and said with a wry smile: "Dahan, you idiot, I'm going out this time to live and die, and you're so stupid that you don't know anything."
Lu Tong has decided.
If it's still one of two this time, let Dahan stay in the city and go out to deal with the fog monster.
He has brains, money, and magic weapons, so the probability of survival should be high.
But Dahan has nothing, and he will die if he goes there.
After spending so many days and nights together, Lu Tong already has strong feelings for Dahan——
The relationship between master and servant.
Lu Tong took two steps and saw Dahan sitting motionless at the table, crying.
The huge pig eyes were filled with tears, and a large string of tears fell on the body, making the clothes wet.
Lu Tong's heart was suddenly touched.
Dahan also felt the danger and knew that Lu Tong was protecting him.
Lu Tong was so moved that he slapped Dahan on the big ear and cursed: "I'm crying like a chicken feather, I'm not dead yet!"
"Ouch!"
Dahan let out a howl like a killing pig, lay down on the table and cried loudly.
