Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 196: Seam

Half a month has passed.

Lu Tong remains in Shaqi Town.

Night.

Everyone sat around the table, and there were many books and papers on the table.

Lu Tong's face was as sinking as water.

In these days, I have refined eight hundred taels of silver, my whole body has lost weight, and my breath has become more condensed.

Like a piece of crude iron ore, after quenching and forging, it becomes an iron embryo.

"If you have any ideas, tell me."

Dian Si'er looked at Erhu.

Erhu hesitated a little and said: "Boss, the sun center is either in the fort or in the sand fox's lair, so it's hard to get it. The one in the sand only comes out every three to five years, so I'm afraid we...have no chance. ."

He turned to look at Dian Si'er.

Dian Si'er found several drawings and arranged them one by one.

"Sir, in the desert, monks and monsters from outside all live in the forts. All the forts use the same formation, the 'Dingyuan Golden Fort Formation', which can fix the wind, fix the sand, gather water, and collect spirits."

Lu Tong looked at the drawings.

The first picture shows several rings, rings within rings, and six rings gathered into one large piece.

The second picture shows a four-cornered stone tower with the four words "Eye of the Array" and "Heliocentric" marked next to it.

The third picture is an introduction to the formation.

The fourth picture shows the upper and lower levels in the fort, including the fort master, tower head, flag bearer, and small flag bearer.

Dian Si'er introduced: "The ring is the formation, the four-corner stone tower is the formation eye, and each formation eye has a sun center."

"All forts have it?"

"Yes. The small castle has one stone tower for 100,000 people; the big castle has 600,000 people and six stone towers."

After Dian Si'er finished speaking, he sighed softly and said: "The one who guards the stone tower is called the tower head, and all the tower heads are golden elixir monks. The center of the sun is at the highest point, and the tower head's residence is below."

Lu Tong remained silent, his fingertips lightly crossed the tabletop, making a "squeaking" sound.

"Where's the sand fox?"

"No chance."

Dian Si'er found three more drawings and spread them out: "The sand fox usually stays under the sand, with the sun's center hidden in its nest, which is more than a hundred feet deep."

He took the paper.

The first picture shows two sand foxes.

Brown and yellow fur, triangular head, four short and thin legs.

One is fluffy, like a fat cat; the other has fur close to its body, like a pointed mouse.

The second picture shows a very complex sand cave with seven vertical and horizontal directions.

The third one is a bit weird.

A large group of sand foxes knelt on the ground like humans, with their front paws clasped together and their heads raised toward the sky.

He glanced at it and said, "Can I go down?"

"It's very dangerous. The quicksand below is chaotic, confusing up and down, left and right, and you may be trapped to death."

"What about this?"

Lu Tong pointed to the third piece of paper.

"The sand fox worships the moon. When the moon is full, the sand fox leaves the nest and prays to the moon. The book does not say what it is doing, only that it is not practicing."

He took another look and suddenly said: "All sand foxes worship the moon?"

"Yes."

"When worshiping the moon, is the nest empty?"

Dian Si'er smiled helplessly and said: "The nest is empty, but every time we worship the moon, the sand fox from the Nascent Soul realm will definitely appear."

"Hey!"

Lu Tong sighed, leaned back on the chair, and murmured: "It seems that I can only stare at Baozi."

Dian Si'er walked behind the chair, hugged his head, and gently rubbed his eyebrows, forehead, and temples.

"Master, take your time, it doesn't matter how long it takes. Don't worry, if you go the wrong way..."

He nodded slightly, feeling the same.

Jin Xi’s death was not in vain, he tried a wrong path.

"Erhu, go find the shopkeeper and renew for another month. You all go out to meet a few locals and inquire about news about the fort. For example, which fort owner is about to die, or there is internal strife in which fort."

Lu Tong took out a handful of broken silver and scattered it, saying: "Take this silver to treat yourself to a drink, don't be afraid of being squandered."

It’s a new arrival and I’m not familiar with the place.

I don’t plan to stay long.

The quickest way is to spend money to attract fair-weather friends.

Dahan was not interested and didn’t take any money.

Sanniu quietly bit into two taels and hid them in the storage bell under her neck.

Erhu liked this kind of job the most. He happily took away the money and said: "Boss, don't worry! I promise to get it all right!"

……

More than half a month has passed.

Lu Tong, wearing a pair of fox fur pants, stood in the yard and raised his hand to punch.

Punch out.

More than a dozen fleshy snakes emerged from the back, climbed up the back and shoulders, gathered on the arms and twisted into a large fleshy python.

Punch, silently.

Blood, flesh, tendons, and bones were refined into one body without any abnormal sound. Not a trace of strength leaked out, all was exerted.

An invisible air python flew out.

A cloud of sand and dust was rolled up, flew two feet away, hit the earth wall, and created a crack.

He retracted his arm and moved his shoulders.

The fleshy snakes swam on the back, like a snake cave.

"Boss, give me three taels of silver."

Dahan stood at the door.

Next to him, there was a man with a sallow complexion.

Lu Tong could tell at a glance that he was a local who had been blown by the wind and sand all year round.

He took out five taels of silver and threw it over.

Dahan closed the door and went out.

Come back soon.

There are six more one-foot-long piglets behind.

Earthy yellow, covered with thorny hair. The mouth is very long, accounting for almost one-third of the body, and there is a layer of hard skin on the upper and lower lips.

He was a little confused and said: "Dahan, what are you doing?"

"Raise pigs. These are sea buckthorn pigs, which can survive in the desert."

"And take them into the desert?"

"Yes. Dian Si'er said it will take a long time before he goes back. I will buy some pigs, raise them and kill them for meat."

Lu Tong opened his mouth.

I feel like there’s something wrong with raising pigs in a place like this, but I can’t tell what’s wrong.

After a few breaths, he waved his hand.

"As you wish."

……

One month passed quickly.

Sit down at the table again.

Lu Tong looked at Erhu.

"Tell me about it."

Recently ~IndoMTL.com~ Erhu calls friends every day and often stays up all night.

Er Hu took out a piece of paper and read it while saying: "Three days ago, the Wolf Sacrifice Fort was breached. Although the Sand Fox was defeated, the losses were heavy."

Lu Tong’s eyes lit up.

The fortress is broken?

Seamless and impermeable, there will be gaps when people die too many times.

Er Hu and Lu Tong looked at each other with guilty expressions.

"It's a pity that I found out too late. The chaos has ended, and now the fort master has led people to leave the Wolf Sacrifice Fort and merge it into the Xingshan Fort."

"Where is the heliocentric sacrifice for Wolfsburg?"

"Took it away. Xingshan Fort is building a new stone tower. The previous owner of the Wolf Castle was the new tower head."

The seam is gone.

Lu Tong frowned and asked, "Where are the other forts?"

"The master of Guliu Castle has died, and his descendants have insufficient cultivation. The people in the castle paid for it and hired a great golden elixir monk to take charge."

"No one robbed?"

Erhu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Dian Sier poured a cup of tea and handed it to his hand.

"Sir, this place is different from Yunying City. The environment in the desert is harsh and there are threats from sand foxes. Under normal circumstances, there will be no internal fighting."

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, thought for a moment and said, "It seems we can only go to a bigger castle."

Xiaobao, external worries have not been completely resolved, and there will be no internal fighting.

No seams.

Dabao, if you have been at ease for a long time, you may forget about safety and be blinded by benefits.

As long as there is a fight, there will be a gap.

Lu Tong put down his tea cup and stared at the formation ring.

"How many stone towers are there in Xingshan Fort?"

"Originally there were three, and soon there will be four."

"Would you be unwilling to accept that the owner of Wolf Castle is now reduced to the head of a tower?"

No one knows.

Dian Si'er said: "Master, even if you are unwilling to do this, it will not be spread outside."

"That's right. Let's go to Xingshan Fort tomorrow."
