Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 30: Character?
In the market, there is a dark street.
The caravans and monks passing through the customs will more or less carry some goods that are not allowed to be brought into Yunying City.
There are special monks in Yunying City who inspect prohibited goods.
So in addition to selling these things to acquaintances, many of them are processed on the black street.
After Lu Tong sold the four number plates to the Jade and Vegetable Merchant Association, he went directly to the black street.
The dark streets look very ordinary.
Like a vegetable market in the countryside.
On both sides of the dirt road, many monks, half-demon, and monster beasts were sitting on the ground. A piece of cloth was spread in front of them, and various strange-shaped goods were placed on the cloth.
A stall with many talismans.
Lu Tong knelt down and asked: "Products from the Baofu Sect?"
"Experts, I just arrived yesterday. How many pictures do you want?"
The Baofu Sect is not as strong as the Yiyi Sect, but it is particularly good at the way of talismans.
There are countless strange talismans passed down inside the door.
It is known as: The stroke of a pen conquers all methods.
In order to train the talisman masters within the sect, Yiyi Sect prohibited the circulation of talismans from Baofu Sect in Yunying City.
Lu Tong had no expression on his face as he leaned down in front of the talisman.
Looked carefully for a while, then shook his head, got up and left.
"Fellow Taoist, let's take a look, I still have some good ones here!"
Lu Tong ignored it, walked to another stall with talismans not far away, and asked: "Products from the Baofu Sect?"
The woman sitting behind him with her legs crossed glanced at him and ignored him.
Lu Tong stopped asking, looked at it alone, then got up and left.
Walking to the next stall, he asked again: "Products from the Baofu Sect?"
Go from the street to the end of the street.
He asked eight or nine stalls, but didn't buy a single talisman.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy it, but I don’t dare to buy it.
I learned about this underworld from Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng's younger brother and sister were learning talismans. When they talked about talismans, they inevitably mentioned Baofu Sect.
Finally, talking about this black street, Wang Cheng said that half of the talismans here are real and fake. For laymen, it depends on luck to buy the real ones.
Lu Tong is a layman.
But it was not easy to get the silver in his pocket, and he didn't want to gamble on luck.
As you walk back, pass those stalls again.
"Hey, come here."
An old man was lying on an armchair and waving.
Lu Tong walked over, and the old man smiled and said, "What kind of talisman do you want to buy?"
He didn't answer, looking up and down with suspicious eyes.
The old man's dirty Taoist robe was very dirty, and his sleeves were stained with ink, making him look like a Talisman master.
But the smile was very obscene, with the eyes, eyebrows, and nose coming together, making it look like he had evil intentions.
The old man shook his head and sighed: "You are still young, so you are very wary."
After speaking, he took out a book from his arms. There were labels on the sides of the book with the name of the talisman written on it.
"Pick whatever you want, a talisman from the late stage of Qi training. One piece is worth four coins, and three pieces are worth one tael."
Lu Tong carefully took the book and asked: "The talisman of Baofu Sect?"
"What a sweet dream! The old man's own paintings are not as good as those from the Baofu Sect, and are only about seven or eighty percent effective."
Lu Tong felt relieved instead.
It is better to suffer a loss clearly than to be fooled in a vague way.
He read the talisman page by page, closed the book after reading it and said, "I want them all, how much cheaper can they be?"
"You can't tell that he is a rich man. There are thirty cards in total, so I'll give you ten taels of silver."
Lu Tong felt that he couldn't compete with this old man, so he handed over ten taels of silver and turned to leave.
"Little half-demon, don't leave in a hurry."
Lu Tong frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Hey, I still have a great fortune here, it depends on whether you have the financial resources to catch it."
A deserted dirt roadside.
Lu Tong felt more and more that this dirty old man was a liar.
I even regret buying this talisman.
However, the word "good fortune" still attracted him.
"What creation?"
The old youtiao stretched out a finger, pointed at his feet and said: "Don't you want to change your two hooves?"
Lu Tong's heart tightened.
He dreamed of replacing these two hooves.
As long as it's not a hoof, even two chicken feet will do.
At least the chicken feet still have a few toes to stabilize the body.
"Senior, please advise!"
The old man reached into his arms again, took out a book and said, "Let's take a look."
Lu Tong took the book and opened the first page.
There are no words on it, but two dog legs are drawn on it.
The old man took the opportunity to introduce: "The magic of demon transformation, the wolf legs of the Dianshan wolf! Although it is not as stable as human feet, it is enough for you to throw away the broken crutch in your hand."
The four words "Demon Transformation Spell" were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, suddenly waking up Lu Tong.
Yes, Ku Meiqin practiced the magic of demon transformation and turned her mouth and nose into those of the Rui-picking fox.
He didn't even think of using the demon-transforming spell to replace two hooves.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Lu Tong returned the demon-transforming magic with joy and strode out of the dark street.
Since you want to practice the magic of transforming into demons, why choose a wolf's leg.
Tiger legs, dragon claws, unicorn feet...
Any one of them is far better than a mountain wolf, and far stronger than a human leg.
……
Night.
Lu Tong was sitting in a restaurant, not far from the courtyard of the bandit's family.
Half a day passed, and he was still thinking about the demon-transformation spell, and he had no intention of eating.
However, the clear water in this restaurant is unpalatable beyond imagination.
The soft noodles are soaked in the sticky noodle soup, like a bowl of paste.
Chuanyun came out of nowhere, sat down next to him and said, "Good noodles, what are you doing with them?"
Lu Tong looked down and saw that the paste was foaming, so he simply put down his chopsticks.
"Don't want to eat?"
After Chuanyun asked, without waiting for an answer, he directly brought the bowl over and drank it all in a few sips.
Lu Tong's eyes widened and he couldn't help but ask: "You are not short of money, how can you still eat a bowl of leftover noodles?"
Chuanyun finished the remaining noodle soup, smacked his lips and said, "Are the leftover noodles not noodles? I can tell you have never been hungry!"
Lu Tong shook his head.
It is true that he has never been hungry. Hooves often suffered from hunger when he was a child, but what he feels in his memory is not as real as personal experience.
"If you want to eat anything else, just order it. ~IndoMTL.com~ Chuan Yun called the store directly and ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles and a portion of pickled vegetables.
Seeing that he had a good appetite, Lu Tong added another portion of braised beef.
In a blink of an eye, noodles and pickles were served.
The noodles are still rotten noodles, the pickles are chopped thickly and thinly, and it looks like the knife skills are poor.
Then the braised beef was served.
The sign says braised beef, but it’s actually just a plate of beef offal.
Lu Tong and Chuanyun looked at each other.
Chuanyun calmly picked up the bowl and ate.
When he was almost finished eating, Lu Tong shouted: "Store, check out!"
A chubby middle-aged man trotted over and said with a smile: "There are eleven copper coins in total. If you make up for the change, just give me ten coins."
Lu Tong took out the copper plate and placed it on the table.
The middle-aged man reached out to take out the money, revealing a round, white right hand.
There is no wrinkle on the hand, and it looks even smoother than Caitieyuan's tender hand.
Lu Tong and Chuan Yun looked at each other again, then stared at the shop owner and asked, "The shopkeeper has such a good look, he looks like a lucky person at first sight."
"Haha, just open a small shop to support the family."
"Why should a shopkeeper be so humble?"
Lu Tong stood up and said, "Lu knows a little about fortune telling. The shopkeeper has a wide forehead and a wide mouth. At first glance, he looks like he has a big mouth and a blessed face."
The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered, and he forced a smile and said: "The guest officer is joking..."
Lu Tong stared at him and continued: "I just don't know if I can swallow it all after eating so much!"
As the last word fell, a book appeared in Lu Tong's hand, and he opened a page to activate the talisman inside.
Chuanyun also kicked off the table, drew out his long sword, and flew towards the shopkeeper to stab him!
