Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 177: Rumors
"Cai Dayou has disappeared. Did he receive the news in advance and escape?"
The tower has three floors.
Song Yanbai sat opposite Lu Tong, looking a little uneasy.
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No."
"Why? He is the city lord, so he must know before us."
Of course a dead person will not escape.
But there is no way to explain it.
He thought for a moment, then simply nodded and said: "That's right."
"How about we go out and hide too? Let's go to the valley of the secret stone. The house we built should still be there."
"Isn't it?"
"Of course, this is a matter of life and death!"
Actually, Song Yanbai was right.
It happened.
Run away if you can before someone comes to your door.
According to Lu Tong's temperament, if it weren't for Bai Qiao, he would have gone to Jieshui Lake long ago.
Lu Tong thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry yet. Think about it, the transaction we made last time was only you, me and Cai Dayou."
"What's wrong?"
"Cai Dayou is missing. The two of us will not leak the news, so it should not be our deal."
"You mean, besides us, the city lord also trades with others?"
"Yeah. Things outside have nothing to do with us."
Song Yanbai thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
After a while.
Song Yanbai stood up to say goodbye and said before going out: "Brother Lu, if something happens, I will leave the city directly. It will be too late to notify you, so don't be offended."
"No. Maybe, I can still escape before Brother Song."
"I believe this."
……
A few days passed.
The two tigers regained their magic power, took two hundred taels of gold, and headed to the White Night Icefield.
On the streets and alleys.
Rumors about the treasury gradually spread.
And the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes
A new trick every day.
It is said that the treasury has been emptied out and replaced by ladies.
It is said that the missing second steward kidnapped a lady and emptied the treasure trove of treasures.
It is also said that Yan Ziqiu's deadline is approaching and he secretly practiced evil.
After a lot of twists and turns.
I don’t know how to upload it.
Even the few beggars who died in Chuanyun's hands turned into a **** pot and were placed on Yan Ziqiu's head.
Under night.
The house is quiet and quiet.
Lu Tong stood behind the tower.
Holding a lantern in his hand, there is a hole half a foot in diameter at his feet.
"Dahan?"
"Boss?"
The sound of friction sounded.
A huge pig head stuck out and said: "Boss, what's the matter?"
"How are you?"
In the past, Dahan, Erhu, and Sanniu’s cultivation were all taken care of by Dian Si’er.
Dian Si'er went into seclusion.
He was careless.
Thinking about Madam Ninth, Cai Dayou, and the City Lord's Mansion all day long, I actually forgot all about Dahan.
It wasn’t until Erhu broke through that he suddenly remembered.
Dahan came out of the cave, sat at the entrance and said, "Boss, what are you doing?"
"Would you like some elixir?"
Under the light.
The hair on Dahan’s back is long and translucent.
In front of him is thin skin and tender meat, like watery tofu.
Lu Tong reached out and touched it.
The flesh is still very soft, like fluffy cotton.
Dahan shook his head and said: "No pills. Boss, the soil in the courtyard is too soft, making it uncomfortable to sleep on. I want to harden the soil."
"How to do it?"
Dahan grabbed a handful of dirt, rubbed it on his back a few times, handed it over and said, "Just do it like this."
Lu Tong reached out and took it.
The scattered soil turned into a piece of hard soil.
Natural magical power.
He threw away the piece of soil and said, "When did you awaken your magical power?"
“I forgot, I haven’t learned everything yet.”
"You can do whatever you want from now on, go ahead."
"Oh."
Dahan got back into the hole.
The long hair rubbed against the rock wall, making a rustling sound.
……
This day.
It's still dark.
Lu Tong was awakened by a rapid knock on the door and immediately stepped on the dragon and flew out.
"Who?"
There was no sound outside the door.
He opened the door.
No one is outside.
A letter was caught in the crack of the door and fell downwards.
Lu Tong picked it up and walked out quickly, looking around.
No one is around.
Return to the tower and open the letter.
There are only two sentences above:
"At noon, Baoning Palace sent someone to the door. Don't panic, the arrangements have been made."
The handwriting is very familiar.
The strokes are wild and open and close.
In Canxiang Tower, the same kind of writing is on the screen.
He picked up the paper.
Smell it.
A very familiar scent of tobacco leaves.
Mrs. Ninth’s handwriting.
……
Baoning Palace.
The forces within Yunying City are under the jurisdiction of the city lord's palace and are responsible for chasing murderers, arresting bandits, and killing evil cultivators.
Mrs. Ninth has made arrangements.
However, Lu Tong was not careless and immediately fetched water to clean the courtyard and tower.
After cleaning, the spell was cast.
A strong wind blew up, blowing away a layer of loose soil from the ground.
After Dian Sier went into seclusion.
The yard, which had been somewhat dirty since no one had cleaned it, became clean and tidy again.
The sun is getting stronger.
Just like the day Cai Dayou died, the sun was extremely hot, as if it was going to bake people alive.
"Is anyone there?"
There was a shout from outside the door.
Behind the door.
Lu Tong stood half a foot away from the door, putting away the flame-shaped sound transmitting instrument.
People outside are very polite.
Looks like nothing went wrong.
Waited for two breaths.
He went over and opened the door and said, "Who are you?"
Two male cultivators, an old man and a young man, stood outside the door.
They all wore dark blue robes, a dark red vest, and a square iron crown on their heads.
"Cao Hao of Baoning Palace was ordered to look for traces of Cai Dayou."
The old monk cupped his hands, took out a token, placed it, and immediately put it away.
Lu Tong asked: "What happened to Cai Dayou?"
Cao did not answer and walked directly into the door.
"Half a month ago, Cai Dayou last appeared with you. ~IndoMTL.com~ Some people said that you held him hostage at that time. Is this true?"
"No."
"Then has he ever visited you?"
"Looked for it."
"Tell me about it."
Cao Hao asked as he walked away.
Enter the courtyard, pass by the martial arts training ground, walk past the place where Cai Dayou died, and then walk towards the side room.
Lu Tongtong: "We used to meet often. We haven't seen each other for a long time this time, so I invited him to come and sit at home."
"How long did you stay?"
"I drank all day long and was drunk. When I woke up, he was gone."
Cao Hao looked at the two side rooms respectively, then circled around the tower and stopped at the entrance of the cave.
"What is this?"
"A hole in the ground. There is a guy in the house who likes to live underground."
"Small cake."
The young monk who had been following him took out a compass instrument and poured it into it with mana.
A few light spots the size of soybeans lit up on it.
The four in the center are Cao Hao, Lu Tong, Xiao Bing and Da Han.
The five on the lower left are Dian Si'er sisters.
The one on the lower right, San Niu.
In addition, there are some small light particles that look like dust.
Cao Hao took the compass, walked around again, and finally stood on the martial arts field.
"What did Cai Dayou say that day when he was drinking?"
Lu Tong glanced at the place where Cai Dayou fell next to him, and said: "I didn't say anything, it was all about Wan Yu Cave. But in the past few days, he won a lot of money at Zongqing Tower."
"How much did you win?"
"A thousand taels. He said he would win every time he gambled, and even asked me to come with him, but when he woke up he was nowhere to be seen."
Cao Hao took the people away.
Lu Tong stood alone on the martial arts training ground, frowning slightly.
The rumors are so widespread.
There are truths and lies in them.
Someone must be fanning the flames.
Unless the culprits behind the scenes are uncovered, the storm will not subside.
