Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 216: Dirty water


Yingshao Tower, with a circle of small red peony flowers on the roof.

A handful of red floral flowers the size of rice grains bloom very densely.

Inside the building.

On the right is a row of counters for collecting alluvial gold and spiritual beads, with three young men standing behind them.

On the left is a tea table.

Mrs. Ying is a foreigner and has the habit of drinking tea in her hometown.

I heard from Dian Si'er that he starts boiling water and making tea from early in the morning and only turns off the heat at night. He drinks more tea every day than those who open a teahouse.

Lu Tong went in and looked directly at the tea table.

Mrs. Ying was sitting there, holding a letter in her hand, looking down at the letter with a faint smile on her face.

"Cough."

He coughed lightly and slowed down.

Mrs. Ying came back to her senses, looked up, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, why are you here?"

"Not at the right time?"

"No."

Mrs. Ying was very skilled in changing water, washing cups, putting tea in, and washing tea. She said: "I was just thinking about looking for you later, but when I looked up, I saw someone."

"What happened?"

Lu Tong was a little confused.

Not long ago, he came over to pick up a drink, and he was fine at the time.

Mrs. Ying washed the tea twice, put down the teapot, and said, "I would like to trouble Shopkeeper Lu about a private matter at home."

"Please speak."

Steep the tea for five breaths.

Mrs. Ying picked up the teapot, poured out two cups, and said, "I have a son and a daughter practicing in White Star Castle. Shopkeeper Lu has heard of it."

He nodded and said, "I heard it was at Dangchen Jianmen."

Mrs. Ying is not young.

Although the method of keeping the appearance was used, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are still very obvious.

A son and a daughter. The son is in his early thirties and the daughter is in her twenties.

Lu Tong has heard some gossip.

The reputation of this couple was not very good, and all the money Mrs. Ying earned was spent on them.

The so-called Dangchen Sword Sect is just a half-baked sect.

When Mrs. Ying thought of her son and daughter, a smile appeared on her face again, and she said: "I just received the letter. This **** finally broke through the foundation building realm!"

"Congratulations, this is a great thing."

"What a good thing, I just broke through and it gave me a big trouble."

Mrs. Ying smiled and complained, saying: "He invited several junior brothers and junior sisters to go to Shahu to test the sword and say something to celebrate the breakthrough. With his three or two moves, isn't this going to get him killed?"

As he spoke, the smile on his face disappeared.

Obviously, Mrs. Ying knows how much her son weighs.

Lu Tong smiled secretly in his heart, picked up a cup of tea, and slowly put it into his mouth.

"After breaking through the foundation building, the mana surges, and it is normal to act on a whim."

He put down the tea cup.

Mrs. Ying immediately added more tea and said, "But you can't take back what you said. They will be back in two days, and after a short rest, they will go find Shahu."

Lu Tong has already guessed the intention.

"Madam, would you like to invite me to come with you?"

"Yes. Shopkeeper Lu is very powerful, and Shahu is far from an opponent. I wonder if it is convenient?"

"How many people are there in their party?"

"I don't know, but based on his swagger, I'm afraid it's indispensable."

"The sand fox is treacherous, and I can't protect him fully even if there are too many people. Mrs. Ying should make more preparations."

Mrs. Ying smiled bitterly and said: "I am also planning to invite fellow Taoist Yuan, and there are a few other Taoist friends I have made good friends with."

"Okay. Madam will send someone to notify you in advance before departure, so that I can make time."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Lu, for all the money wasted during this period, I still have to pay for it..."

Lu Tong waved his hand.

"Actually, I came here today to ask for something."

The tea in the cup was cold, so Mrs. Ying poured it out and replaced it with a cup of hot tea.

He nodded slightly and continued: "Mrs. Ying should have heard about the things outside. The sand from Doumen Tower will not be collected on the construction site."

"Well, I just heard some news."

The notice didn't say no.

But after the stewards and servants stepped up their efforts, even if the road to Doumen Tower continues, it is probably almost there.

Lu Tongtong: "I would like to ask Mrs. Ying to introduce a monk from Doumen Tower to work together."

"What does Shopkeeper Lu mean?"

"They give people and money, I gain fame, and I will take a share of the money afterwards."

Mrs. Ying pondered for a moment and said: "One or two heads can't make a few taels of silver. At least hundreds or thousands of people can be earned. But once there are too many people, they can't hide it from the Shi family and the Gu family."

He also fell silent.

With the tea tavern’s sign, dozens of people can be whitewashed. Once the number reaches hundreds or even thousands, it may not be able to contain them.

However, it was not originally about making money.

Lu Tong finished a cup of tea and said, "Then let's get the Gu family and give him the big head, and we'll take the small head."

Mrs. Ying took out a counting instrument and fiddled with it.

"It's estimated to be a few thousand taels of silver, but less than ten thousand taels. It's enough to find Master Gu. We can split about a thousand taels."

"Earn some money easily, it doesn't take much effort anyway."

"That's right, it's all ready-made. It should be done in a day or two at most."

"Hard work."

……

The progress is faster than Mrs. Ying expected.

The next afternoon.

Lu Tong became the owner of the workshop.

Dahufang, Dahefang and Daxifang, one person serves as the owner of all three of them.

The new square built by the Wolf Sacrifice Pagoda has its doors wide open.

Groups of monks from Doumen Pagoda poured into the workshop and occupied the rooms and courtyards.

Outside the square.

Lu Tong, Gu Guanshi, Fang Huan, and another strange monk from Doumen Pagoda stood side by side, with no hint of any grudges that had occurred before.

Guan Gu looked at the mess inside and frowned: "What's going on? Didn't we agree that each household should have one?"

Fang Huan turned his head and ignored Gu Guanshi, but stared at Lu Tong.

The strange monk smiled and said: "Guan Gu, we are not a family, how can we live in the same family peacefully, as long as we don't delay selling sand."

"How to settle the account?"

Guanshi Gu took a notebook and planned to register one by one, but it didn't come in handy.

"It's okay. I'll hand it in batch by batch when the time comes, and it'll be about right in the end."

Lu Tong glanced at it and asked, "What do you call fellow Taoist?"

"Young Snake Deng Yibo, who are you?"

"Lu Tong. ~IndoMTL.com~ Deng Yibo's pair of small triangular eyes widened slightly, a smile appeared on his thin face, and he said: "Jiu Yang. ”

A few people separated.

Guanshi Gu complained: "Why didn't you stop me just now? In the end, the account was messed up, and it was us who suffered the loss."

“We don’t have a few taels of silver, so it’s not enough.”

"The money is not much, but it must be accounted for... Oh, another confusing account!"

Lu Tong smiled and shook his head.

It’s better to be confused.

How can you fish in troubled waters if you make it clear?

"Let's go, I'll buy you a drink."

"No more drinking, go back and settle the score."

One day later.

At late night, the drinkers left one after another, leaving only a cloaked figure in the corner.

Lu Tong went over with a jug of wine.

"Da Hao."

"Flaghead."

Da Hao took off his cloak and his face turned a lot darker.

He sat opposite and said, "What method did you use to leave clues on the tomb?"

"Mixed with sand."

"What?"

Da Hao took out a handful of Yunhen Sand and said: "Our leader specially refined it. The outermost layer of sand is magnetic nest sand. Mix it in and you can use a magic weapon to track it."

"The Hai family can't find it?"

"Unless you mix a lot at one time, it is just ordinary Yunhen sand."

"What will happen if you mix too much?"

"Sticked into a lump."

"Besides you two, are there any other accomplices?"

"There are three more. They all sift the sand and mix it in a little at a time."

"Who?"

"Huh?"

Lu Tong took out paper and pen and said: "Who are those three people? Where do they live, what do they look like..."

"This..."

Da Hao hesitated for a moment and wrote them down one by one.

He looked at the words above and breathed a sigh of relief.

If this basin of dirty water is poured out, Doumenta will probably not be able to stand up.
