Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 60: Sheep Mountain
Dark clouds covered the sky, and there was lightning and thunder.
It rained heavily.
A group of caravans clung to the mountain wall and lined up in a long line on the mountainside path.
"Everyone, work harder! Get to Yangshan before dark and take a hot bath!"
"Probe carefully and pay attention to the rolling rocks on the mountain!"
"Don't leave behind those in the back, don't say anything if anything happens!"
The group of people moved forward slowly.
On one of the carriages, Lu Tong was wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, looking into the distance.
At the end of the mountain road, there are sparse lights on the top of a mountain.
Lightning split the night sky, and with the flashing electric light, you could see the outline of the mountaintop like a huge goat kneeling on the ground.
Yangshan Shrine.
It is said that before the ghost mist appeared, there were many mountain gods and water gods on this land.
Later the gods fell, leaving ruins of gods behind.
There are very rare genius treasures in each divine ruins, which are must-haves for all sects.
Yangshan Shenxu is what was left after the death of a mountain god.
However, all the genius treasures in this sacred ruins have been mined, leaving only some scraps.
The convoy slowly entered Shenxu.
Lu Tong jumped down from the carriage shaft and said, "Erhu, I'll leave the carriage and cargo to you, I'm leaving."
This trip is not easy.
Jing Xin said that no matter what method he used, it meant that he couldn't get the Sheep Heart Vine using ordinary methods.
You can only use some shady moves.
Erhu has a keen mind.
Lu Tong specially brought him out with him.
Erhu led the carriage and asked: "Boss, I heard the news, where can I find you?"
"On the 15th and 15th of the month, I will go to the biggest restaurant here."
After that, he walked into the rain curtain alone.
……
The streets are very messy.
The houses on both sides are of different heights and widths, as if they were built haphazardly.
Street lights are very rare.
Lu Tong walked through the street and found many empty pillars where lighting lights were originally placed.
It's been a long time since anyone added fuel or started the fire.
After a long journey, I felt hungry and cold.
Lu Tong walked into a restaurant and said: "A bowl of hot noodle soup and a stack of braised beef."
There is no waiter to greet you.
The restaurant owner looked at Lu Tong expressionlessly and said, "Pay me first!"
You don’t need to pay first to eat in Yunying City.
Because no one in Yunying City will escape their accounts.
It seems different here.
Not long after arriving, Lu Tong had already experienced the chaos in Yangshan.
Took out a piece of broken silver and threw it over.
The restaurant owner then started cooking noodles and cutting meat.
A bite of hot noodles.
The stomach and intestines became warm and very comfortable.
Lu Tong took two bites, glanced around, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
There are still a few guests in the restaurant.
At this time, everyone was staring directly at Lu Tong.
There was nothing on the table in front of them, and they didn't look like they were here to eat.
Lu Tong stared at these people one by one, quietly took out the animal-faced jade talisman with his left hand, and continued to eat noodles with his head down.
Soon, a bowl of noodles was finished.
Lu Tong pushed away the bowl and stretched.
At this time, a dark-faced middle-aged man next to him walked quickly to the opposite side of Lu Tong.
Grab the noodle bowl, lift it up, and drink up the rest of the rice soup.
After putting down the bowl, I took a look and saw that there was no piece of beef left on the plate.
Ba chimed and sat back to his original position.
Lu Tong held the jade talisman tightly, with only one thought left in his mind:
What the **** is this place?
……
Go out of the restaurant.
Gradually deeper into the Shenxu, the business of all the large and small shops on the roadside was bleak.
Some monks with unkind expressions huddled in the corner, staring at the passers-by.
A house on the corner of the street had its walls, doors and windows removed and turned into a small restaurant with two sides open.
It was unusually clean inside, but there was not a single customer.
There is only one old man guarding the stove.
Lu Tong stopped at the door.
The old man immediately showed a smile and greeted: "Chief Immortal, please come in quickly! On a rainy day, come with a bowl of Laohuo soup to go away the cold."
Lu Tong stood at the door and said, "What happened to Yangshan? How did it become like this?"
He has never been to Yangshan Shenxu.
But after reading the introduction in the book, it is obviously not what it looks like now.
"It's been many years since the immortal came here, right? The mining is over and the original family has left. Yangshan won't be able to hold on for long."
The old man held a small clay pot and looked at Lu Tong with an almost begging look.
Lu Tong nodded and stepped in.
As you get older, no matter whether you are smart or not, you have at least experienced enough things.
You should be able to get some information here.
The old man put the small clay pot on the stove, started a fire and cooked soup.
Lu Tong walked to the corner of the room.
There is a pile of books neatly placed here.
He took out a few books and read them. Among them was a price list for various ores.
There are many kinds of ores inside, and nearly a hundred kinds of ores.
Among them, there is a sheep's heart vine on the last page.
Lu Tong's heart moved and he asked casually: "Old man, did you used to sell ore?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "That happened ten years ago. At that time, business was good, and customers would come to the house while I was sitting at home. Now the mine is gone, and everything is gone."
"All these ores are gone?"
"Not entirely, most of it is gone, and the rest is still in bits and pieces. But such a small amount of things can't feed many Yangshan people."
Lu Tong sat down and said, "Is there any more Sheep Heart Vine?"
"Sheep heart vine? There is no such treasure. Not to mention now, you couldn't buy it even in the past."
Lu Tong opened the page of Sheep Heart Vine and read: "Sheep Heart Vine, price interview."
The old man grinned and said: "It's a little trick to attract people here. The sheep's heart vine is a thing of the original family and has never been released. I have been here for decades and have only heard the name. I don't even know what it looks like. ."
Lu Tong chatted with the old man for most of an hour.
Finally left with satisfaction.
Yangxinteng, Yuanjia, Donghai Sect...
……
The Yuan family is a large family of the Donghai Sect.
The owner of Yangshan Shrine.
Now that the output has dried up, the original family has taken away some of the capable monks to open up new ways of making money.
Most of the remaining monks were abandoned here.
Guarding the depleting sacred ruins, I don’t know where to go.
Lu Tong walked on the dark street for a long time when a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of him.
The stone tower built against the mountain is half embedded in the mountain and the other half rises into the sky like a pagoda.
From the bottom to the nine highest floors, everything is covered with lights.
The three big characters on the plaque downstairs are even more eye-catching——
Cai Chun Tower.
It’s hard to believe that the Yangshan Shenxu is still such a lively place now.
Lu Tong shook his head and strode away.
Throw away coir raincoats and bamboo hats at the door.
A boy opened the door with a smile and shouted inside: "Master! Please come inside~"
The warm wind blew in my face, carrying an intoxicating fragrance.
The buzzing noise filled my ears.
"Serve wine, serve wine!"
"Hahaha, this is good, it's her..."
"Go, go, go! I'm all in!"
The tables looked full of high rollers.
Hold the woman in his arms, drink heavily, and reward him with lots of money.
"Uncle, please open a table and sit down?"
A slim, oily man approached.
Lu Tong glanced at him, raised his leg and shook off the water on the tiger's claws.
When the little thin man saw it, he immediately knelt down, twisted up his sleeves and wiped the tiger's claws dry.
Lu Tong shook his head, threw out a dime of silver ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Open a table!"
"Okay! Uncle, come with me!"
Cai Chun Tower, hollow.
In the middle is a circular high platform. One after another, women walked to the high platform, came down from the high platform, walked to a certain wine table and sat down.
Lu Tong sat down by the fence on the third floor and ordered a pot of light wine.
The little thin man did not walk away, but leaned forward and said: "Uncle, you are finally here, there is a batch today..."
Lu Tong interrupted him directly and asked: "Is there anyone here today?"
There are nine floors here.
The bottom floor has the most people and is packed to the brim.
The higher you go, the fewer people there are.
In addition to Lu Tong, there are five tables of guests on the third floor.
Except for a table on the seventh floor, everything else above is empty.
"You will always be a noble person!"
Lu Tong stared at him coldly.
The flattering smile on the little thin man's face immediately froze, and he changed his words: "The immortals are all gone. Now the only one who is considered noble in Yangshan is Master Geng."
Master Geng?
The old man selling soup just now did not mention this person.
It should be a deliberate concealment to avoid suspicion.
The only noble person left in Yangshan?
If there is a Sheep Heart Vine here, it has something to do with it.
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Tong's mind. He glanced upstairs and said, "Is that noble man above Mr. Geng?"
"No, he is Master Geng's second apprentice."
Lu Tong's eyes flashed, he leaned on the chair and said: "Go down."
That’s enough to ask a few questions.
If you continue to ask questions, the secret will be revealed easily.
The little thin man opened his mouth and wanted to continue introducing the tricks in the building.
However, Lu Tong looked very unkind, so he hesitated and retreated obediently.
