Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 21: Wanyu Cave


The next day.

The tea tavern is open in the front and ground is broken in the backyard.

Lu Tong stood at the door, wearing a black glove on his left hand and leaning on a thick ebony cane, greeting old customers he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Awu, how is business lately?"

"Master, please come in quickly, your Baihua foam has been brewed."

In the tea tavern, old acquaintances come to drink several kinds of expensive tea.

Hoof has left a good reputation. Lu Tong opened his business for the first time after returning, and regular customers came to support him one after another.

Dahan and Erhu served tea to the guests one by one.

When the guests all sat down and started chatting, Lu Tong walked to the counter and said: "Dahan, you are here to greet me. Erhu, follow me."

Go up to the second floor and enter the innermost private room.

Lu Tong sat down and asked, "Erhu, how do you feel?"

"Very good."

Erhu's face was furry and his round eyes were bloodshot. My energy and energy have not recovered yet, but I am much better than yesterday.

"What did you do before?"

"In Liu De Lou, we specialize in delivering food to wealthy families."

Lu Tong nodded, took out the contract he had drawn up after looking up it in a dictionary for half an hour, handed it over and said, "Take a look and stamp it with your thumb if you have no problem."

Dian Si'er and Dahan did not sign any contract.

But Erhu is different. Lu Tong has not fully understood Erhu yet, so he must die by contract.

The contract he made was somewhat harsh.

In one of them, Erhu was seriously injured and dying when he entered the teahouse. If he wanted to leave Lutong, he could beat Erhu half to death.

Erhu didn't even look at it, just dipped his right palm into the ink pad and made a fingerprint.

"Don't you want to see it?"

"I can't read."

Lu Tong smiled and shook his head, put away the contract and said: "Then let me tell you something. If you want to leave the tea tavern, you can leave the same way you came in."

Erhu nodded without saying a word.

Lu Tong took out a stack of paper and placed it in front of Erhu.

Just when he was about to speak, he thought that Erhu couldn't read and would definitely not be able to write, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Erhu, how is your memory?"

"It's okay."

"Where are the ears?"

"It's not bad."

Lu Tong pointed to the porcelain cup on the table and said, "Pick up this cup and put it to your ear."

The porcelain cups on the table are a pair.

One is upside down on the floor, the other is on the table, and the bottoms of the two cups are connected with metal wires.

Erhu didn't understand what was going on, so he picked up the cup and put it to his ear.

Lu Tong asked: "Can you hear what the guests below are saying?"

"I can hear it, but I can't hear it clearly."

"Listen as much as you can, remember everything you hear, and tell me when I come back. Do you understand?"

Message is money.

Lu Tong has no background, no connections, and no way to access money-making news.

Fortunately, the tea tavern is located near the city gate, where people from all walks of life come and go.

When they drank tea and chatted, they often mentioned trivial gossip.

Before, Lu Tong was behind the counter and listened to their chats every day, and he had already figured out some ways.

However, when drinking tea, the more people drink, the more awake they become. They only speak three points and often stop talking at key points.

Lu Tong then changed the teahouse into a tea tavern.

Erhu didn't know the deeper meaning behind it, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Boss, I want paper and pen."

"Why do you need a pen if you can't read?"

"Make a mark, otherwise you won't remember it."

Lu Tong left behind paper, pen, ink and inkstone.

Go downstairs alone and wait for the people from Wanyu Cave to come.

……

Waiting for a whole afternoon.

It was getting late, and a golden camel stuck its head into the teahouse and asked: "Lu Tong, who is the shopkeeper Lu?"

"I am."

Lu Tong was sitting behind the counter, stroking the handle of his crutch.

The jet-black handle was covered with a layer of oil.

"The boss ordered me to pick up Shopkeeper Lu."

Lu Tong gave a brief explanation and walked out of the tea tavern.

The golden camel is standing at the door. The camel is one foot tall and has fluffy hair all over its body, like a big cotton dumpling.

There are two fleshy humps on the back, and there is a seat in the middle of the humps.

The golden retriever camel knelt on the ground with its front legs: "Shopkeeper Lu, come up and sit down."

"Thank you."

Lu Tong rode a camel for the first time. He felt soft under his buttocks, which was unexpectedly very comfortable.

……

There is a 100-foot-tall mountain in the north of the city.

As night falls, lights are lit on the mountain.

In the blazing fire, there are many pavilions with large golden roofs, glazed tiles, and layers of eaves like birds competing for the sky.

On the left side of the mountain, in the gorgeous flower forest, there are many giant reliefs.

All the statues are of extremely enchanting beauty, including a fox demon sniffing fragrance, a golden pheasant seducing the soul, and a golden leopard sleeping...

On the right side of the mountain, a ball of golden smoke shrouds the middle of the mountain.

In the center of the haze sits a tower dozens of feet high. The flags hanging next to it are rolling like waves, with the words: "One indulgence of passion brings a new sky."

Lu Tong sat on the camel's back and asked, "Where is that place on the mountainside?"

"On the left is the Baiyuan of Danghuan, where humans, demons, and half-demon can be found. On the right is the Zongqing Building, where you can find all kinds of gambling and gambling games. Shopkeeper Lu, do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Go and see Manager Lao first."

Go around from the foot of the mountain to the back of the mountain and enter a huge cave.

A lighting orb is embedded every two feet in the cave, and every few dozen feet, there will be some small openings on the left and right sides.

"Shopkeeper Lu, I am disappointed."

Lao Ya stood at the entrance of a cave and greeted with a smile on his face.

Lu Tong got off the camel and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, you're welcome."

"Please follow me."

Enter the room and sit down, and the waiter will bring you tea.

After being polite.

Lao Ya asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, you are also a businessman, let me tell you straight. We have many boxing and kicking masters, but you get what you pay for. How many taels of silver does Shopkeeper Lu plan to spend?"

"Eighty taels."

This is not a small amount.

According to the experience of hoofs and bird feathers causing harm, the savings of ordinary people in the city range from twenty to thirty taels to five or sixty taels.

A household that can afford eighty taels of cash is considered a small fortune.

Lao Ya's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

She is very experienced. She can immediately judge how much money can be extracted by just taking a look at the customer's clothing, behavior, hairpin accessories, and conspicuous magic weapons.

Lu Tong's clothes are a coarse robe, his hairpin and crutches are all ordinary things, but his behavior is very calm and composed, as if he has some wealth.

At the beginning, Lao Ya estimated that the transaction would be around thirty taels of silver at most.

A smile appeared on Lao Ya's face again, this time the smile was much more sincere.

"Shopkeeper Lu, wait a moment, I'll ask the boxing master to come over."

"Okay."

Lu Tong sat in the room and waited.

After a while, a maid came in and changed a cup of good tea.

Then several pretty little girls came in and took the lead in asking: "Immortal, do you need any slaves to serve you?"

Lu Tong nodded slightly.

The little girls immediately dispersed ~IndoMTL.com~ pressing shoulders, rubbing legs, passing fruits, and telling jokes to relieve their boredom.

There are soft words in my ears, and the fragrance lingers in my nose.

Lu Tong was completely immersed in it and sighed in his heart: No wonder Wanyu Cave is so famous. If the tea shop can achieve this level, there is no need to worry about not making money.

After a long time, Lao Ya came in with two people and said with a smile:

"Manager Lu, you have been waiting for a long time. They are the boxing masters I specially selected for you."

"This is Mr. Zhu Fanzhu. He used to be known as the 'Hundred Hands of Flower Boxing' and created his own Baina Boxing."

"This is Lu Tiezhang. His mountain-breaking iron palm is also well-known in Yunying City."

Zhu Fan is a white-haired old man with a tall and majestic figure.

Lu Tiezhang is a young and strong man, with black hands that look like they were forged from iron.

Lu Tong leaned on the chair, looked at the two people, and asked: "Baina Fist and Mountain Splitting Iron Palm are both fists and feet that are fused with magic?"

Lao Ya smiled and said: "It's natural. These two fist and foot sects even sent people to copy a copy, saying that it was to be deposited in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."

Lu Tong waved his hand, and the little girls immediately understood and stopped and exited the room.

He walked to the opposite side of the two people and said: "Excuse me, you two, take action against me. Whoever is more powerful, I will..."

"Shopkeeper Lu, may I say something first?" Zhu Fan took a step forward and cupped his hands.

"Please speak."

Zhu Fan said: "If Shopkeeper Lu chooses me, in addition to Baina Quan, I will also teach you a few additional techniques. In addition, I also know a little bit about stick techniques."

After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Lu Tie and said, "Brother Lu, I'm getting old. I need to save some coffin books so that I can't be honest."

Lu Tiezhang's face turned blue, he gritted his teeth and glared at Zhu Fan, then turned to look at Lao Ya.
