Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 323: Kill someone with a borrowed knife

Canxiang Tower has planted a large number of Baise flowers and trees.

In late winter and early spring, most of the flowers wither away, leaving only three colors: pale purple, orange, and plum red.

There is a nine-story wooden building with cornices in the forest.

Ladies and ladies often spend time here, drinking, listening to music, having fun, and occasionally hold an auction.

Lu Tong avoids this place every time he comes here.

This afternoon I specially entered the building.

On the top floor of the wooden building, there are many screens like the small building in the center of the lake. However, there are no words on the screen here, but paintings of immortals in golden armor and fairies in colorful clothes.

There are many soft pillows, futons, wooden chairs, jade statues, paper and pens, etc. placed between the screens.

Lu Tong sat on a chair, casually took the pipa next to him, played it randomly, and said, "What do you usually do here?"

"Listen to ditties and gossip."

"Boring."

He put the lute aside.

Mrs. Ninth smiled and said, "Of course you'd be bored if you don't know me. What if you're gossiping about Jing Xin?"

Lu Tong subconsciously became interested and shook his head with a smile.

"Have things been arranged?"

"Okay, sister Fu will come over in half an hour, and Ma Lankui will follow. Meng Dahe is dead, and Ma Lankui wants to take over the Dahe Grain Store. He jumps up and down every day and forms cliques, but he can't continue Our people and Hu Lian’s people can’t tell the difference.”

"Didn't Meng Dahe tell him about Zhiming Mountain?"

He was a little surprised.

Dahe Grain Store is very calm on the surface, but the water behind it is very deep. There is a big background on every side, and it is not Ma Lankui's turn to intervene anyway.

The maid brought fruits and snacks.

Mrs. Ninth took it and brought it to the table, saying: "Probably not. Ma Lankui is not familiar with the grain business. I heard that he used to be a gangster on the street. Meng Dahe sent him to sell some odds and ends of mountain products. I'm done with it. Our Guangguang business is getting bigger and bigger, and we have gained some wealth in the past two years. Once we have money in our pockets, we don’t know how high the sky is, and we even dare to take on the Fu family’s ideas.”

"What does the Fu family do?"

"The man who runs a restaurant also runs a martial arts school. He has a few medicinal recipes at home, which can make money and win over monks. His business spans thirteen cities, and he doesn't show off his appearance. His foundation is no worse than that of Baili's family."

Lu Tong picked up a piece of fruit and said while eating it: "So, Ma Lankui has some discernment and can choose the Fu family."

"I look up to him, he's just greedy for beauty."

……

Dusk approaches.

When the formation is activated, bursts of warm and fragrant winds wrap around the wooden building.

There are people arriving one after another.

A female cultivator wearing a pleated skirt and floral blouse landed in front of the wooden building on three-color flying clouds.

From behind, a middle-aged monk caught up and shouted: "Su Shuang, wait a minute, brother."

"Senior Brother Ma, you haven't asked the owner if he allows you to come in."

"What are you asking about? You could enter before, and you can certainly enter today."

"That's not necessarily the case! Mr. Meng was here before, but what about now?"

The middle-aged monk smiled, waved his hand and said: "Meng Dahe is dead. I will have the final say on Dahe's food business in the future. She will not deny me face."

The female cultivator shook her head and said, "You will know if you have the dignity to ask. I will accompany my senior brother to ask."

The two landed on the fence outside the sixth floor, entered the building, and walked up the stairs.

Inside the ninth floor.

Lu Tong and Madam Ninth have heard the sounds outside.

After waiting for a moment, a snow-white rabbit squeezed in through the crack in the door, and there was a faint sound of stomping feet.

Madam Ninth nodded.

According to his previous plan, Lu Tong coughed and asked, "Who has the final say at Dahe Grain Store now?"

"Hu Lian."

"Who?"

"Guanshi Hu's adopted son. Meng Dahe is dead and Guanshi Hu is old. No one in the grain store can suppress him."

"The mountain goods business between us and the grain store is also under Hu Lian's control?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it the person with the last name Ma?"

"Ma Lankui. Hu Lian plans to squeeze this person away. With Hu Lian's methods, Ma Lankui has no chance unless he is killed suddenly."

"What a pity! The huge family fortune of Meng Mansion has been given to outsiders in vain."

"Yes, it's really enviable that a mere adopted son in charge has such luck."

"How much gold and silver can Hu Lian win this time?"

"If you say less, there are still a million taels, if you say more..."

The two were talking.

A female nun opened the door and came in, saying with a smile: "He's gone."

Lu Tong looked towards the door, his eyes brightening at first glance. After looking up and down, he smiled and said, "This must be Junior Sister Fu."

"Sushuang has met my brother!"

Fu Sushuang, whose name sounds deserted, is not deserted at all.

A fair and tender oval face with two crescent-shaped eyebrows. His eyes were moist, and his eyes were moving and seemed to be affectionate. There was also a little red rouge on the left corner of his eye.

Lu Tong secretly thought, Ma Lankui has a good vision regardless of whether he is stupid or not.

"Junior Sister Fu, please sit down quickly."

"Brother is too polite, just call me Sushuang."

Madame Ninth curled her lips, stood up and came over, saying, "Good sister, tell me, what was Ma Lankui's reaction just now?"

Fu Sushuang and Lu Tong looked at each other, walked towards Madam Ninth and said, "Sister Xiang, have you ever heard of 'face as earth-colored, shaking like chaff'?"

"Haha."

Mrs. Ninth laughed a little exaggeratedly, took Fu Sushuang's arm, shook her head and said: "You are so scared, do you still have the guts to kill someone?"

"It's hard to say, maybe I really need to encourage him."

"Then I have to trouble my sister again."

"Sister, what are you talking about? Sister's business is Sushuang's business. I already have a way to keep him in submission."

"Good sister, I really do not love you in vain."

The two of them held each other's arms and sat on a long platform, continuing to call "sister" and "sister" non-stop.

Lu Tong didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening for a while, he felt disgusted and couldn't help but interrupt: "What if Ma Lankui doesn't take action?"

Mrs. Ninth and Fu Sushuang looked at each other.

Fu Sushuang took out a book, stood up, walked to Lu Tong, handed it over and said, "Brother, please read this book "The Leaky Cauldron."

Lu Tong took the book and flipped through a few pages.

A small book with dozens of pages, containing words and illustrations.

"Little story?"

"Yes, eleven short stories, all of which are about the weak killing the strong. After the great revenge is avenged, the family business is restored or the beauty is embraced."

He looked down at "The Broken Cauldron Collection" and said slowly: "Give it to Ma Lankui?"

"Not bad."

Lu Tong saw the intention.

Ma Lankui had anger in his heart. This booklet was a seed, and murderous intentions grew out of his anger.

"A few stories are enough to lure Ma Lankui into action?"

"Absolutely. My brother is well-informed and has a strategy in mind. However, there are still many people who have been ignorant all their lives and have no independent opinions. They will have murderous intentions after hearing a word, and will imitate a plan after seeing it."

Lu Tong nodded slightly and said after a moment: "It is not enough to have murderous intention. You have to give him a knife, otherwise he may not be able to suppress his timidity. I will find a method later and I will trouble my junior sister to send him out together."

"My brother's ideas coincide with my little sister's!"

He raised his eyebrows and raised his head.

After Fu Sushuang delivered the book, she stayed beside the chair and said with a smile from the corner of her mouth and eyes: "I don't need to worry about it, brother, I have prepared a rare magic weapon, which is just right for Ma Lankui to use."

Lu Tong glanced twice, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Madam Ninth sitting behind her, with no expression on her face. She withdrew her eyes and handed over "The Leaky Cauldron".

"Junior sister is thoughtful."

"It's a rare opportunity to help my brother, so I don't dare to be careless."

Fu Sushuang took the book and sat back down.

Mrs. Ninth seemed to change her face, immediately putting on a smiling face the moment Fu Sushuang turned around.

The two talked for a long time, and Fu Sushuang left reluctantly.

Mrs. Ninth sent her out of the door and then down the stairs. When she came back, she sat on the couch with a cold face.

Lu Tong stretched and said with a smile: "What is Fu Sushuang's plan? Why are you working so hard?"

"Of course you have to work as hard as you can to do things for your brother."

He glanced at it and said angrily: "You found this person. I didn't look at it or think about it. How can I be jealous?"

"Have you ever thought about how I know?"

Lu Tong sighed and stopped talking.

I did think about it just now.

I thought a lot.

A very kind and gentle beauty, she speaks every word from her heart, it is normal to think more about her.

Mrs. Ninth sat for a while, waited until her anger subsided, and said: "The Fu family has rules. The direct young master and young lady must open a restaurant with an annual profit of not less than one hundred thousand taels of silver before they are fifty years old, otherwise they will be stripped of their money." The identity of a direct descendant."

"Fu Sushuang wants me to help?"

"Humph!"

Mrs. Ninth snorted coldly and said: "It was originally agreed that she would help us plan this matter. Afterwards, I stepped forward to help her build the restaurant. I didn't expect that the little thing had bad intentions. I knew I wouldn't need her."

“It’s best if someone comes to help with this kind of dirty thing. Even if something goes wrong, you can get away with it.”

Lu Tong walked to the edge of the cave, sat down and said, "As for her thoughts, you can't even believe me?"

"Can't believe it."

……

The next day, Manager Hu personally came forward to win over Ma Lankui's shopkeepers and leaders one by one.

In just three days, Ma Lankui was completely ignored.

All business between the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce and Dahe Grain Store was skipped over by Ma Lankui and directly handled by Manager Hu.

Guanshi Hu, Hu Lian's adoptive father.

Except for a few people, Guanshi Hu and Hu Lian are a family in the eyes of outsiders.

It was calm for a few days.

On this day, Lu Tong was lying in the dark wind practicing "Zhufeng Xuan Gong" when a three-inch-long Jade Rabbit magic weapon in his belt suddenly vibrated.

He took out the Jade Rabbit and poured in mana.

The Yutu opened its mouth, and Fu Sushuang's voice came out, saying: "Brother, Ma Lankui wants to see you."

The sound transmitting instrument, a male and a female rabbit, has a very wide sound transmission range.

A few days ago, when he returned to the small building in the center of the lake, Fu Sushuang came out and gave it to him with his own hands.

Lu Tong poured in a burst of magic power and said, "Why do you want to see me?"

"He decided to take action, but he still had some concerns. He wanted to see his brother, probably to discuss matters after the murder."

"Does Mrs. Ninth know?"

"I don't know."

"Tell her and let her arrange it."

"Understood."

The next day.

Lu Tong got up early in the morning, prepared to put on his clothes, and go to Meng Mansion to practice as before.

Madame Ninth stopped her and said, "Don't go there today, I'm meeting someone at noon."

He immediately guessed what was going on and asked: "Who?"

"Guess."

When Madam Ninth is in a good mood, she likes to ask people to guess riddles. This was also the case when she bought the Dual Cultivation Technique last time.

But Lu Tong doesn't like guessing.

I didn’t know what was going on before, I kept guessing and couldn’t get it right, and I was very annoyed.

Now I know what's going on, but I have a secret in my heart. I feel that if I guess right, I will reveal my private connection, which is very annoying.

"Can't guess."

"Yes, what you want to see most is related to the thing you think about every day."

Lu Tong hesitated for a while and said: "Plant a bottle?"

For a moment, there was sudden silence.

Mrs. Ninth's eyes widened little by little, and after a while she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! What I'm saying is, why don't you get it delivered to your door for a cheap price? It turned out that I kept it in mind!"

Lu Tong did not expect that there was a pit here, so he raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes.

"What's the mess? What I'm thinking about is the elixir! I've been busy for a long time just for a bottle of Mu Shen Dan. How many times a day do I miss it?"

When he became more powerful, Madam Ninth immediately weakened.

"Really?"

"False!"

Lu Tong threw on his clothes randomly and walked outside.

Mrs. Ninth's face changed a few times, and she quickly said: "Master, I was wrong, it was Ma Lankui!"

Lu Tong stopped at the door and said in a deep voice: "When?"

"Noon."

"Where?"

"At Canxiang Tower."

……

At noon, on the first floor of Canxiang Building.

A large round table filled with big fish and meat.

Lu Tong, Mrs. Jiu, Fu Sushuang, and Ma Lankui sat separately around the round table.

Lu Tong met Ma Lankui up close for the first time.

His face is slightly green, his eyebrows are high and short, his nose is big, and his breath is a bit empty.

"Guanshi Ma, you already know about Meng Dahe. He practiced evil and harmed countless people. I killed him because he deserved to die."

Ma Lankui's eyes twitched, he glanced left and right, and said: "Master Lu, Meng Dahe has nothing to do with me. I came here for another thing."

A glint flashed in Lu Tong's eyes.

Decades of wealth have all come from the Mengda River. When people die, they just say "it has nothing to do with it." It's really feeding an unfamiliar wolf.

"What happened?"

"I'll give you a piece of fat meat."

"Huh?"

Lu Tong raised his eyelids.

Fu Sushuang said: "Immortal, senior brother means that there is a great thing, and I want to share it with the immortal."

Ma Lankui glanced at Fu Sushuang, his breath became much calmer, and he nodded: "As long as you agree to one condition, all profits from the mountain goods business that we cooperated with before will be handed over to your Liangyao Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Tong smiled secretly in his heart and turned his head to look at Madam Ninth, who was also looking over.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Help me take over the food store! The Meng family's things cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. I want to take back the food store. As long as the immortals help me, the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce can also get a share of the pie!"

Ma Lankui looked excited as he spoke.

Lu Tong poured a basin of cold water on his head and said, "I heard that the food supply is in Hu Lian's hands."

"Bang!"

Ma Lankui slammed the table hard and stood up abruptly.

The three people at the table felt their hearts pounding at the same time.

Ma Lankui looked at the three people one by one and said loudly: "February 15th, the full moon is hanging high! Blood splashed three feet, and it is difficult for the immortal to stop it!"

Lu Tong looked slightly stunned. ~IndoMTL.com~ This Ma Lankui is really obsessed, his words are the same as his lyrics.

He nodded hard, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Mr. Ma, you are such a man!"

……

February 15th, night.

The sky was pitch black, without a single star or full moon.

Lu Tong and Mrs. Jiu were sitting on the boat.

Lu Tong looked up at the night sky and said: "It's cloudy, not a good sign."

Madam Ninth nodded and said, "What kind of magic weapon did Fu Sushuang prepare? I wonder if Ma Lankui is his opponent. Hu Lian practiced in Zhiming Mountain."

Lu Tong's expression remained unchanged. He had asked Fu Sushuang privately before and was somewhat sure about this.

A refined poisonous hive.

Ten of the large poisonous bees can poison the foundation-building monks to death; 300 small poisonous bees can temporarily paralyze the foundation-building monks.

The two waited quietly for a long time.

Madam Ninth said suddenly: "I underestimated Fu Sushuang before. Ma Lankui had no enmity with her, but he could bear to harm others like this for his own selfish gain."

Lu Tong glanced at her and said, "She is not as good as you when it comes to harming people."

Mrs. Ninth's breath was stagnant, she took out a pipe and started smoking alone.

It's approaching midnight.

Fu Sushuang flew over in a hurry, landed next to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Dead."

Lu Tong looked relaxed.

The Dahe Grain Store is now stable, and Yin Qing can give an account when he comes back.

Madam Ninth was very cautious and asked: "Who died?"

"Hu Lian and Ma Lankui are both dead."

"How did you die?"

Fu Sushuang glanced at Lu Tong quickly and said, "Poisonous bee. Ma Lankui broke into Hu Lian's home and smashed the beehive. Both of them were stung by the poisonous bee."

Lu Tong raised the corners of his mouth and stood up to stretch his muscles.

"That's right! A huge family fortune, a master and a servant fighting each other, fighting in the middle of the night, and dying together, whatever sounds good to your ears!"
