Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 27: Water cutoff
"Are you injured?"
"No."
"I took two sword blows, but the injury was not serious."
"Let's go on!"
……
The next day.
In a teahouse built with bamboo poles.
Lu Tong, Dahan, and Erhu sat around a table.
All three half-demon failed.
Dahan's pig face was blackened by smoke, there was a large burn wound on his forehead, and his two arms were wrapped with a total of six bandages.
Erhu also had a large piece of tiger skin that was burnt, and there were several sword wounds in other places.
Lu Tong wears a hood on his head.
In addition to ordinary sword wounds, half of his right ear was also cut off.
The two horses' hooves also stepped on the trap and were pierced by the ejected steel needle.
Fortunately, there was an iron palm around the hoof, and the one-foot-long steel needle only penetrated half an inch of the hoof without damaging the flesh.
But these injuries were not in vain.
Last night, I made a dozen attempts and succeeded three times.
The three number plates are all from after the third day and are worth at least fifteen taels of silver.
Three half-demon take a tea break.
People at the next tables are chatting:
"One person died last night, and three spiritual beasts opened up. Just now someone from the Yiyi Sect found the murderer."
"Hey, you dare to kill people even if you take action. I'm really tired of living."
"I heard that the young man was so angry that he killed himself immediately after his license plate was taken away."
Lu Tong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Although you don’t have to pay for your life if you kill someone, you will be imprisoned in Ten Thousand Tombs Mountain.
Manzhong Mountain has been surrounded by miasma all year round. After staying on the mountain for a long time, the body has decayed and the soul has become apathetic, and there is no chance for practice.
For a few taels of silver, it's not worth taking such a big risk.
He drank a cup of hot tea and began to think about his goals for tonight.
Small merchants can no longer be touched. During the fight last night, the most vicious ones were the small merchants with few people.
You should look for a large caravan. Although the large caravan has many guards, they are all paper tigers.
When they started fighting, they pretended to cast two spells and then lay down and pretended to be dead. They didn't even dare to fight in close quarters with swords.
However, some large caravans have foundation-building monks stationed there.
Can't touch it either.
"Also last night, there was a foundation-building senior who used magic to trap a group of gangsters who were trying to steal the license plate. He used fire magic to tease them for a while before letting them go!"
"Who else dares to rob the caravan that Senior Foundation Establishment is commanding?"
"These days, the streets are full of idiots who want money rather than their lives!"
The corners of Lu Tong's mouth twitched.
Among the humans, demons, and half-demon who were teased by Senior Ji Zhu with the fire method last night, there were three of them.
……
Lu Tong wandered on the street for most of the day.
At dusk, walk towards a caravan station.
"Stop!"
A guard holding a three-pronged fork stopped the caravan and said, "No one is allowed to approach the caravan."
Lu Tong leaned over and whispered: "Tell your shopkeeper that someone from the jade and vegetable merchant will come to visit."
The fair-skinned guard's expression changed, he called his companions to watch over Lu Tong, then turned around and ran towards the station.
The station of the Shuishui caravan is surrounded by magical vehicles like other caravans.
But their magical vehicles look like boats.
There is a row of wheels under the boat, and a magic weapon similar to an alchemy furnace is placed on the bow.
Soon, the monk ran back.
"Follow me."
Go into the station and board a magical vehicle.
The layout of the car is also the same as that of a fishing boat.
There is a section of water tank on the deck, with fresh aquatic plants growing on the water tank.
Lu Tong glanced at the baskets of dead fish thrown in the corner of the deck, and followed the leading monk into the cabin.
"A little half-demon in the Qi-training realm? Tell me, who are you? There is no way that the Jade and Vegetable Merchant Association will send a half-demon here."
A thin figure sat across from the door.
A head of black hair spreads down from his forehead and cheeks, and you can’t see what he looks like.
The fluctuations of mana are as thick as cotton, and he is also a foundation-building monk.
Lu Tong was a little nervous and cupped his hands and said: "Lu Tong, I have met the senior!"
Having been teased by the Foundation Establishment monk for a long time last night, he did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest when facing the Foundation Establishment monk again.
"Sit."
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Tong obediently went over to sit down and explained: "I don't dare to deceive my seniors. I am indeed related to the Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce. I help Qiu Peng, the chamber's manager, search for number plates outside the customs."
"Then you came here because you want my number plate?"
The words of the foundation-building monk sounded very plain, but Lu Tong was frightened.
Big shots must be treated with caution, even if they say casual words.
Lu Tong hurriedly said: "No, I dare not. I want to invite seniors to search for number plates together tonight."
"Huh?"
The man opposite raised his head, and his long, silky hair parted automatically, revealing a pale face.
No eyebrows, slit eyes, slender nose, thin lips.
Lu Tong glanced at it and did not dare to continue to look at it. He lowered his head and said, "I have offended you so much. I hope you will forgive me, senior!"
"Who asked you to come?"
"Junior did it himself."
Black lines spread out one after another, and the top of the head, feet, left and right sides were all surrounded by black lines.
Every black line sparkles with metallic luster.
Lu Tong stood up from the stool, cupped his hands and said: "The interception caravan only has the license plate for the day after tomorrow, but the magical vehicle that the senior sat on is seventeen feet long and cannot pass the customs. I can help the senior get tomorrow's license plate Number plate."
The number plate on the first day does not limit the size of the passing vehicle.
On the second day, the maximum cannot exceed twenty feet.
Starting on the third day, only cars within ten feet can pass.
The Jieshui caravan offended the Jade Vegetable Chamber of Commerce. They didn't get the license plate from the previous two days, so they couldn't pass the customs.
Black thread wrapped around Lu Tong's legs and arms.
Lu Tong felt a biting chill that penetrated directly into his bone marrow, making him unable to move his limbs for an instant.
"The Shuishui Caravan has dozens of people. Do you think it will need a little half-demon?"
Lu Tongtong: "I, I can help senior hide his identity."
The water-intercepting caravan has a very bad reputation.
First, the water bandits in Jieshui Lake have long been notorious.
The second is to offend the Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce.
They were from a foreign chamber of commerce, and they also killed the cart-pulling beast of the Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce.
Although those monsters have not awakened their spiritual wisdom, Yiyi Sect will not pursue them. But other monks around them were already wary of them.
Lu Tong inquired here for two days and heard that several caravans around him had agreed that if the Jieshui caravan dared to take action against any one of them, they would join forces to destroy the Jieshui Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the Jieshui Chamber of Commerce did not dare to take action to grab the license plate.
Unless someone helps them.
In the blink of an eye~IndoMTL.com~all the black lines disappeared.
"Sit!"
Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, moved his hands and feet, and sat on the chair again.
He is not worried about the danger to his life. Yiyi Sect has a magic weapon to monitor the life and death of nearby creatures.
I managed to get in front of the Foundation Establishment monk last night, but I was only teased for a while.
It’s just that the monk in Jieshui Lake looks like a poisonous snake.
When a venomous snake crawls on you, even if you know it won't bite, you still feel uneasy.
A female half-demon with golden fish scales on her face came in and put down a cup of tea.
Lu Tong took a sip.
The warm, cool tea melts into your mouth and tongue, instantly filling your mouth with saliva. The mouth, nose, ears, and eyes are all connected, and the mind becomes extremely clear.
Good tea is far better than Tonghao tea.
"What do you want?"
The foundation-building monks at Jieshui Lake are extremely decisive in their work.
Lu Tong did not mince words, he said very straightforwardly and respectfully: "This junior has a low cultivation level and lives in poverty. Seniors can reward me with some gifts, such as silver, skills, and secret techniques."
The foundation-building monk took out a book and a piece of silver and placed them on the table.
"Is it enough?"
"Enough, enough. Thank you, senior!"
Lu Tong had no idea what was written in the booklet, but he immediately agreed when he saw the ingot of silver.
The round, shiny fifty-tael silver!
With just this ingot of silver, even if he is asked to turn around and rob the Jade and Vegetable Merchant Guild.
He is willing too.
Lu Tong did not take it away without authorization, but leaned out to ask for instructions.
It wasn't until the foundation-building monk nodded slightly that he carefully picked up two things and put them into his storage sleeves.
"How should the juniors behave?"
"Wait until I find you."
