Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 26: Thief


Been robbed.

Lu Tong looked back.

As soon as I turned around, a large group of little guys just now disappeared.

Only the corners and dark places are left, with some shadows peeking out.

Erhu's face was livid, he clenched his fists and said, "They must be those little brats. I've heard before that they look like beggars, and they steal things behind the scenes. They're not good things!"

"I'll go find them."

Dahan walked towards the corner.

A few noises were heard immediately in the darkness, followed by a "collapse".

An arrow flew out from somewhere and hit the ground two steps in front of Dahan.

Dahan ignored it and continued to take the next step.

Lu Tong shouted: "Stop!"

Dahan stopped and turned around to look at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong shook his head vigorously, glanced deep into the alley, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go."

Those three knives are worthless, they are just ordinary weapons in the blacksmith shop, not even magic weapons.

But Lu Tong knew very well that those guys hiding in the darkness would kill and even fight for this worthless thing.

Because their lives are like weeds, worthless, not even worth the three knives.

In a somewhat shabby inn.

Lu Tong, Dahan and Erhu were sitting on a long earthen bed.

In the bedside stove, a whole stove of wood was burning brightly, and the cold earth room quickly became warm.

Dahan's pupils were full of black, and his body exuded an extremely strong evil spirit.

When Erhu saw Dahan like this for the first time, he was so frightened that the yellow hair on his forehead exploded into a pile.

Lu Tong threw away the broken straw mat on the bed, took out the animal skins and spread them on the kang, saying: "Stop sitting and go to sleep."

Erhu immediately lay down against the wall, closed his eyes and remained motionless.

Dahan shook his head and said, "I'm looking for a knife."

"Look for three broken knives. I'll buy you three new ones tomorrow."

Lu Tong was also very angry.

The mountain of corpses in Qianxue Mountain and the sea of ​​​​blood crawled over, and their eyes were pecked by these insignificant little things.

For three knives, it's not worth fighting these cheap guys.

But if I don’t get the knife back, I can’t swallow this bad breath.

Dahan sat on the edge of the kang, like a mountain of meat, and said in a muffled voice: "I want those three handfuls."

The fire in the stove is getting stronger and stronger, and the kang is getting hotter and hotter.

Lu Tong lay on the kang, closed his eyes and said, "Let's go out and earn some money, then come back and find the knife."

After that, he added: "Just look for those three."

……

Two days later.

Outside Hukou Pass, there is a desolate scene.

Wasteland, rocks, weeds...

Within 300 feet of the pass, various trucks were neatly lined up in several rows and inspected one by one.

Three hundred feet away, a completely different chaotic scene appeared.

On both sides of the road, various temporary buildings and tents are connected together.

Many caravans set up stalls selling goods directly on the roadside.

Lu Tong took Dahan and Erhu around for a long time.

As night falls, the last batch of caravans with number plates outside the customs have entered the customs.

At eight o'clock in the evening, with the sound of a bell, a large number of people started walking towards Guan.

Lu Tong followed them to the Tiger Tongue Stone outside the pass.

A very abrupt stone sticks out from the ground like a tongue.

A middle-aged monk wearing indigo blue robes stood on the stone and said loudly:

"Tiancang Grain Store, No. 1, Column A."

"Embroidering clouds and weaving rows, No. 1 A column."

"Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce, No. 1, Column B."

The customs clearance application from the Chamber of Commerce has been submitted in advance.

Every time the middle-aged monk read out a name, someone rushed over to receive the number plate.

Soon, the number plates for the first day were distributed.

There are a hundred in total, and all those received are from the big chamber of commerce without exception.

On the next day, the Jade and Vegetable Merchant Association obtained three more license plates.

But even this is not enough for them.

The Jade Vegetable Merchants Association sells various vegetables. Previously, ghost fog surrounded Yunying City, and there was a shortage of vegetables in the city for more than half a month.

No matter how much vegetables are brought into the city now, they are all sold out immediately.

In addition to vegetables, fruits, fresh meat, and tender fish are also in short supply.

And every day of delay will reduce the quality by one point.

Lu Tong had a premonition that there would be no peace outside the customs tonight.

Faced with naked interests, those powerful chambers of commerce are likely to take action to grab license plates.

"Jie Shui Caravan, No. 3, Column B."

Lu Tong heard a familiar name and looked towards the person receiving the number plate.

The people in the Jieshui caravan are tall and thin, with fair skin and no eyebrows.

The hair is very long, and the dark hair hangs straight down to her ankles.

The clothes he wears are extremely close-fitting fish skin clothes. Judging from his appearance, he does not appear to be a local from near Yunying City.

Half an hour later, the monk on the tiger tongue stone flew away.

There are thousands of people from large chambers of commerce, small caravans, and various scattered merchants, but less than half of them have received license plates.

There was a burst of noise all around:

"What should I do? We don't have our number plate!"

"If you wait any longer, I will almost have my grandson!"

"Who will receive the goods? Five carts of yellow spear grass cardboard, the best material for making talisman paper, sold cheaply when it gets damp!"

"Fifty tons of copper stone, can any friend bring it in for me? The price is negotiable."

"Damn it! My entire fortune is on this batch of goods!"

The night is cold and cool, and there are undercurrents amidst various noises.

Lu Tong clenched the newly replaced iron crutch in his hand and whispered: "Let's get out first."

……

The vast open space where the caravan is temporarily stationed.

Lu Tong stood on a stone and looked at the sparse lights ahead.

Dahan stood beside him, a head taller than Lu Tong on the stone.

He held the crossbow in his hand, and where the knife was hung on his belt, there were now three pots of crossbow arrows.

Erhu dragged a long knife, sniffed his nose, touched a few hairs near his mouth and said, "Boss, something seems wrong."

"Something's wrong."

Lu Tong had long noticed the anomaly, but he didn't expect Erhu to also find some clues.

Erhu looked around, shook his head and said, "I don't know, something is just wrong."

Lu Tong said slowly: "Are there fewer places with lights on now at dusk?"

"Yes! The sun has set, how can you put out the fire?"

"Someone can't help but take action."

As time passed, the lights became fewer and fewer.

In the end, there were only a hundred or so brightly lit places left, which were the territories of the Great Chamber of Commerce.

A fireball suddenly exploded in the night sky, followed by screams.

"Let's go. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Tong jumped off the stone, with two hooves and an iron rod firmly planted on the rocks, and strode towards the darkness.

Dahan and Erhu immediately followed.

Passing by a group of monks and mandrills who were fighting.

Lu Tong whispered: "Don't kill them, knock them all down!"

After saying that, he rushed directly towards a mandrill that was biting his opponent.

Although the horse's hooves could not stand firmly or stop, it was extremely fast during the sprint.

He rushed past a distance of dozens of feet in an instant. Lu Tong's speed did not slow down, his right shoulder sank slightly, he made a fist with his right hand, aimed at the mandrill's lower back, and pushed it out slowly but really quickly.

Sashou Fist, the ultimate move in Baina Fist.

Before the fist touched the mandrill's fur, a strong wind had already hit it, denting the flesh.

Then his fist landed on his waist, and the mandrill, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, flew directly into the air.

Lu Tong stumbled and stabilized his body, preparing to continue taking action.

The monk on the opposite side put away his shield and magic weapon, cupped his hand and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help! Zheng..."

Lu Tong's eyes flashed, he walked over and punched Zheng down, pressed him to the ground and held his neck tightly and said: "Where is the number plate?"

"You! I, I don't have a number plate..."

Lu Tong turned over his hand and pulled out a short knife, pierced it into Zheng's buttocks, put his head to his ear and said: "Yiyi Zong said that killing is not allowed, but it also said that killing does not require death, just jail time. Where is the number plate?" ”

Next to him, Dahan knocked down a mandrill with a few cold arrows.

Er Hu also chopped down a monk who was wielding a sword and breathing fire.

Zheng struggled hard and stretched out his left hand. There was a number plate lying in the palm of his hand.

"Let's go!"

Lu Tong grabbed the number plate and immediately led Dahan and Erhu into the darkness.
