Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 166: Guard

The next day.

It's just dawn.

Cai Dayou looked like his bones had been removed and he was slumped on the back of a golden camel.

Lu Tong followed and asked, "Brother Cai, what should I pay attention to later?"

No sound.

He slapped Cai Da.

"Huh? Are we here?"

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "When we enter the city lord's mansion later, what rules should we pay attention to?"

"There are no rules, just don't talk."

He hesitated a little and said: "What if I meet the young master or young lady of the city lord's family and come to me for something?"

"What do you mean?"

"I am standing outside the private school. The young master and young ladies may order me to do things."

A big family has many rules.

Lu Tong has many thoughts.

Before the accident happened, we started preparing countermeasures.

"Brother Lu, you're too worried! There are boys and maids waiting outside, and they won't know how to order you. The guards are doing the job of guards."

He nodded.

It seems like I’m overthinking it.

A big family has many rules.

The rules are not only for the servants, but also for the young masters and ladies.

Close to the City Lord's Mansion.

Turn into a small alley outside the house.

Cai Dayou signaled the golden camel to call the door.

Soon, a burly six-foot-tall monk came out and said, "Second manager, what's the matter?"

"Where's the armor robe? I found someone to help you."

The burly monk glanced at Lu Tong, frowned and said, "Half demon?"

"It would be great if someone is willing. Standing at the door of Chu for a day is not a good job!"

"It won't go wrong, right?"

"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

The burly monk snorted.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a very fancy brocade robe, helmet, face armor, heavy armor, and a big halberd.

"Remember, don't talk or get into trouble when you get there."

Lu Tong took over the outfit without saying a word.

The burly monk took out another broken piece of silver, threw it to Cai Dayou, and then turned back.

Lu Tong didn’t seem to see it.

He lowered his head and put on his clothes one by one, and picked up the spurge.

Cai Dayou glanced at Lu Tong secretly, took back the money, coughed and said: "Let's go, I will take you there."

The City Lord’s Mansion.

In the woods, there is a single-story wooden building.

It is open on all sides, with no doors, walls, or windows, and only four pillars.

Cai Dayou pointed to one of the pillars and said: "Go over!"

"Yes!"

Lu Tong bowed with his halberd in his arms, strode to the pillar and stood there.

A burst of mana flew over.

He took over the magic power and only heard Cai Dayou's message: "Brother Lu, I will come to pick you up in the evening. Let's continue tonight!"

……

Four pillars.

Four monks.

The pillar remained motionless, and so did the monks.

Inside.

More than twenty children, around ten years old, were sitting there.

An old man with white hair held a book and read word by word:

"Today, let's continue talking about "Tai Xuan Ruo De Jing"."

"What does the sentence 'Nine lines of doors with empty rows and seals' mean?"

"Nine elements are a human cave. The first is compassion, the second is equanimity, the third is righteousness, the fourth is concentration, and the fifth is humility..."

"If you don't uphold the nine elements, your practice will become empty."

"The next sentence, 'When the pages are gone, the tree withers and loses its greenness', is a simple sentence. It means that when a person dies, he is like a dead tree, lifeless."

"You guys, they have just sprouted now..."

Outside.

The maids and servants were sitting in the shade of the tree boredly, waiting for the young master and young lady to come out.

……

Five days passed.

Lu Tong went to the city lord's mansion during the day and pretended to be a guard.

When you come back at night, first write down what you heard during the day, then practice killing methods and read books.

Everything went better than expected.

Standing under the pillar every day, like a dead thing, there is no trouble.

In fact, no one else in the house has ever looked at him.

It was late that night.

He sat on the top floor of the tower and opened the "Tai Xuan Ruo De Jing" that he had entrusted Cai Dayou to buy.

A figure falls on the fence outside.

Bai Qiao, here we come.

Lu Tong took a look and put away the book.

I thought to myself:

Finally it’s here.

If he doesn't come, he will be anxious.

"Fellow Taoist, please."

"No need."

Bai Qiao has a slim body, a thin waist and thin shoulders, but she wears a very wide robe.

Under the night wind.

The robe blows in the wind.

Bai Qiao stood on the fence with one foot, looking like she would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Lu Tong stood up and walked over, saying: "Twenty days ago, Brother Song came here once. According to Taoist friend's instructions, Brother Song and I reached a deal."

There was no expression on Bai Qiao's face. He nodded slightly and said, "How much money is the difference?"

He didn't speak immediately.

After a moment of silence, he let out a breath and said: "It's not short of money. But that transaction involves the city lord, so I'm a little worried."

"What do you mean?"

"The city lord, he sells things in the treasury secretly!"

"What?"

The clothes and robes make a sound.

Bai Qiao stood on tiptoes and swayed slightly.

The night wind seems to be getting stronger.

Lu Tong nodded and said: "The transaction items were taken from the treasury. I was unwilling to agree at first, but...but my Taoist friend ordered me, so I had to agree."

He waved and took out a box.

"This box of fisheye stones is the object of trade."

No one checks the things in the treasury.

But this kind of thing cannot be exposed to the light. The more people who deal with it, the easier it is for the news to leak out.

Lu Tong, Song Yanbai, Cai Dayou, City Lord...

I don’t know if there are others.

This kind of head-turning business.

One mouth is best, two mouths will do, three mouths is dangerous, four mouths is too many.

If there is a fifth mouth, something will almost certainly happen. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lutong is very courageous.

But without Bai Qiao, this deal may not have been accepted.

This time:

Bai Qiaoruo exposed this matter because of his "righteousness to destroy relatives". Just make less money and clean yourself first.

If Bai Qiao is "covering Song Yanbai", press the matter. It was just business as usual, just throwing the burden on Bai Qiao.

Anyway, save your life first, then make money.

Bai Qiao took one step forward.

Falling off the fence.

He walked into the tower, opened the box, looked at it for a while, and said, "Does he know that this is something from the treasury?"

Lu Tong said nothing.

Bai Qiao has the answer in his heart, no need for outsiders to tell him.

"Who else knows about this?"

"Cai Dayou, the city lord and the second manager of the city lord's mansion, I don't know anything else."

Bai Qiao was silent for a moment and said: "This is just an ordinary transaction."

"What?"

"An ordinary transaction has nothing to do with the treasury."

Bai Qiao turned his head and looked at Lu Tong.

Lu Tongtong: "But...if the news leaks out and is investigated, I will not be able to escape the involvement."

"It has nothing to do with you. You said you bought the things for me, and I will take care of the rest."

"Okay."

That's great.

What a good woman.

Song Yanbai, such a good woman, actually broke up with her.

Lu Tong sighed in his heart without revealing anything on his face.

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to take these fish-eye stones away?"

"Are you useful?"

"Yes, I have an elixir recipe that can be used to make elixirs. But there is no familiar alchemist."

Bai Qiao glanced at it and said, "Second Senior Sister knows how to make elixirs. You go find Second Senior Sister."

"Immortal Mirror Heart? The Immortal is now a great monk of the Golden Core."

Lu Tong smiled bitterly.

Bai Qiao doesn't seem to understand the hardships faced by monks outside asking for elixirs from alchemists.
