Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 503: Lao Ji
Chapter 503: The Half-Demon’s Journey to Raising an Immortal, Lao Ji
Hongying, you are very fat.
She has a long life, and her head is covered with silver hair, but her face does not look old. She looks like a fat, silver-white elephant when lying on the bed.
Lu Tong glanced twice and said: "Wei was ordered by three kings to form a ghost army. Hearing that his Taoist friends have great magical powers, he came here to visit."
"Humph!"
Hongying laughed, the white flesh covering her neck swayed, and she stretched out **** to wave.
A young man next to the bed immediately climbed up, took a plate of red apricots, picked up one and bit it with his lips, then put it to his mouth.
Hongying took a few bites of apricots together, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, how happy is Shandesi here?"
"Yes."
"Huh?"
Hongying was a little surprised and said: "Why are you so happy?"
Lu Tong glanced at the young man on the bed, shook his head, and then glanced at the people in the pond.
"My appearance is average, but I am young, but unfortunately I have no energy, no bones, not to mention good looks. Being with these people is not happy."
On the bed and by the pond, there were seven people in total. They were all around 20 years old. They were barely handsome in appearance, but they were far from comparable to Ning Jinbao.
He suspected that such people were found from nearby villages.
Hongying's face darkened, she pushed the young man away from her arms, and said coldly: "I have worked hard all my life, and I don't want to work for others anymore. I can't bear the happiness of Chief Wei, so I won't send you far away!" ”
Lu Tong guessed some of Hongying’s past upon hearing this.
The monks from the Chamber of Commerce broke through the Golden Core Realm with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, and have been working for the Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of years. After paying off the "debt", most of the life span was spent, and he came here with the remaining savings.
"Working for yourself?"
Hongying rolled her eyelids and ignored it. The pink smoke in the formation began to cover the bed bit by bit.
Lu Tong said slowly: "Shan Desi has everything including Dharma doors, ghost bodies, Yin spirits, etc. When we go to the mortal world in the future, there are no taboos there. We can handle all the things we get and don't have to share them with outsiders."
The bed was completely covered in smoke.
He looked calm and continued: "The changes outside are far beyond the imagination of fellow Taoist, and there are opportunities for great breakthroughs hidden in them. We dare not ask for big opportunities, but we are somewhat sure of small opportunities. Fellow Taoist If you want to give it a try, you can come to Huaizhu City Shande Division, I will wait for you for three days."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Leave the formation.
Lu Tong jumped up and said, "Let's go see Xiao Mu."
"Yes."
Luo Guan flew to lead the way, and after escaping for a few feet, he asked: "Master, is there really a great opportunity?"
Lu Tong couldn't help but smile in his heart.
I don’t know how much Hongying listened to the words she said to seduce Hongying, but it was Luo Guan who was tempted first.
"Of course."
"May I ask the boss what the opportunity is?"
He glanced sideways and said with a smile: "Do you dare to trade your life for your life?"
Luo Guan is no ordinary monk.
There are no rules in the village, and there is no village chief, but when Luo Guan came out, the monks in the village were very convinced.
Moreover, he found an opportunity to make meritorious deeds as soon as he became his subordinate.
Only too old.
The probability of becoming a fog ghost is less than 20%, which is a pity.
"Dare!"
Luo Gu'an laughed in agreement and said: "This time my life is on the line, even if the powerful comes, I won't be afraid! Anyway, it will be a good life in just a few years. If you lose, you won't lose, and if you win, you will make a lot of money." ”
"Yes, the old man is brave and marches forward bravely, even if there is a 10% chance, he can fight for his way out."
……
Xiao Mu and Niu Tianyou, their caves were all covered with a layer of formation.
Lu Tong sent three messages in a row, but received no response.
Finally, he said something about a great opportunity, which was passed into the cave, and invited the two of them to go to Shande Division to talk about it.
It took a whole day.
From the northwest to the southeast, across the entire Baoshu Mountains, individual figures boarded the Qilin Chariot. The Qilin Chariot was full of people. Finally, there were dozens more people, and Luo Guan took the dry road into the city. .
In the night, a group of people fell outside the city.
Lu Tong led everyone back to Shan Desi.
Outside the office, there is a wooden shed in the corner of the square, two feet long, one and a half feet wide, one and a half feet high. It has no doors or windows, only large wooden boards that are complete.
When he was curious.
"Bang!"
A bang suddenly came out.
Lu Tong's face darkened and he immediately understood what was going on.
"Jinbao!"
The door of Shan De Si opened, and Gao Gong walked quickly to greet him, saluting: "I have met the master."
"Where is Jinbao?"
"Jinbao went back to rest, I will keep vigil."
A very complex odor wafted over.
Lu Tong frowned and pointed to the wooden shed.
"What's going on?"
"Back to the master, the people from the Mengjian Sect sent them and said they belong to the master. All the things should be returned to the master."
Zhu Dongbi not only escaped from the Zhu family, but also escaped from Lu Tong on the pretext of "trailing his father-in-law."
Lu Tong waved his hand to stir up a gust of wind, blowing away the smell, and said: "Go and ask Jinbao to put these people down. In addition, tell Jinbao to go to Steward Tiezui tomorrow morning and ask for the secret of Shandesi."
"Yes."
Inside the Shantoku Department.
Lu Tong entered the hall and saw a dozen large boxes as tall as one person placed in the middle, and he casually fired a burst of magic.
Under the light, a silver light lit up.
He suddenly became energetic and opened a few more boxes.
Pieces of silver light flashed out.
Boxes of silver ingots are placed in front of you, each one is shiny, shiny and touching.
Lu Tong's eyes widened and he murmured: "It's weird, money fell from the sky? Gao Gong!"
I shouted twice, but no one responded.
He walked to the box, picked up a few ingots of silver, checked them, and put away the box with a wave of his hand.
Gao Gong quickly ran back and said: "Master, on the first day of the first lunar month, Yuhu sent a sum of money, saying it was for the expenses of Shan Desi, and there was also a personal letter from the real person Li Youhai."
Gao Gong took out a letter and handed it over.
Lu Tong took the letter and sat directly next to it.
"Master, if you don't have any other instructions, I'm going to find Jinbao."
"Go ahead."
He opened the envelope, read it for a long time, put down the letter, and said softly: "Six million taels of silver, how easy it is to get it."
This silver comes from taxes in Huaizhu City.
Six million taels is not a large amount.
But this money came so easily, with almost no price paid, and a piece of fat fell away in vain.
Lu Tong could not help but feel a little shaken.
For a moment, I suddenly understood the origin of the struggle between the underworld and the mortal world. The fight is not just about immediate gains and losses, but also about "sitting back and enjoying the gains" for thousands of years to come.
……
The next day, Lu Tong walked out of the bedroom.
Ning Jinbao was already guarding the door, covering his forehead with one hand and leaning forward.
"Master."
"Yeah."
Lu Tong nodded, and while walking outside, asked: "Has everyone been settled?"
"The arrangements have been made. The Yin Tower in the Division belongs to the Sishou Division. I found two inns and temporarily placed them in the inns."
"Go out to the city in the next few days and find a larger manor outside. Fields, lakes, courtyards, martial arts arenas, everything that should be there, the place must be big."
"Yes."
Go to the hall.
Lu Tong sat on the chair.
Ning Jinbao followed all the way, still covering his forehead with his left hand.
Lu Tong glanced at it, his eyes moved slightly, and asked: "What's wrong with the head?"
"Master."
Ning Jinbao looked bitter and took away his palm, revealing a burn scar on his forehead with two or three fire blisters on it.
"Who did it?"
"Iron mouth."
Lu Tong frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"Just now, I followed the master's instructions and went to Tiezui Mansion to seek help. On the way, I bought a fried cake and a mutton ginseng soup, but I got soaked before I even entered the door."
"What did you say?"
“I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even have time to speak, and I didn’t even say anything about asking for the Dharma.”
Ning Jinbao was very aggrieved.
He has always valued his face the most. This time he had several burns on his head, which to him was no less than being slashed with a knife.
Lu Tong's face was calm, and he was alert in his heart. He said slowly: "Well done, why does Tiezui want to be our enemy?"
"It must be because of the money!"
"What?"
"Tiezui sent people four times after the New Year, and each time they asked for money. They said last year's dividends had not been paid, and they also said that when Mr. Dai was here, he never owed money."
Lu Tong was unhappy.
End-of-year dividends were originally stated by the Chamber of Commerce.
Even a mule needs to eat a few good meals after working for a year. Most chambers of commerce will distribute some benefits at the end of the year to encourage everyone to continue working hard in the coming year.
But few people dare to ask for it.
"So unscrupulous, it seems that Tiezui has a big appetite and a lot of courage."
Ning Jinbao also took the opportunity to say: "Sir, it doesn't matter if I get beaten, but... Tiezui clearly doesn't take us Shan Desi seriously!"
Lu Tong glanced at it, with a smile on his lips.
"Okay, put away those little thoughts. Sooner or later, I will help you get back the sin you suffered, but not now. Do you understand?"
"Young ones don't dare."
"Go and find the manor as soon as possible."
"Yes."
……
Deep in the alley.
Lu Tong stepped on the ice shards and walked to the two doors. A burst of mana popped out and hit the door knocker at his feet.
At the same time as the mana fell, the door suddenly opened.
He fell straight down and landed in a hall, with a chair already placed at his feet.
"Master Wei, it's really rare to see him."
Tiezui is sitting on a piece of wood. The piece of wood is hanging in the air like a swing, but there are no ropes on either side.
Lu Tong shook his head, sat directly on the chair, and said: "I was born to work hard. I traveled thousands of miles back and forth in order to find a few fog ghosts. It's better to take care of things with Iron Mouth."
"Comfort is due to small abilities. Chief Wei is highly regarded by the three kings. If nothing happens, his future future is limitless."
Lu Tong smiled and said, "What if there is an accident?"
"Haha."
Tiezui laughed twice, shook his head and said: "The road to cultivation is long, and no one can guarantee a smooth journey. However, Chief Wei is very skilled, and he can turn danger into good fortune even if he encounters it."
"I would like to lend you some kind words."
Lu Tong raised his hand very casually and said: "I came here today to ask for something."
"What happened?"
"It's still because of Dai Shan. Shan Desi's account books, jade talismans, tokens, etc. are all there, but the method has disappeared without a trace. There are many things needed to train ghost soldiers such as living people turning into ghosts, sacrificing ghost bodies, etc. There is no Dharma."
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
"There is no lie. Everything is ready now, only the method is missing. Please do me a favor, senior brother, and give me a few methods, so as not to delay the important tasks of the three kings."
"Chief Wei, the secrets of each department are in the hands of the chief. I am powerless in this matter, so why not try it at Sishou Division."
"I only have one-time acquaintance with the Four Masters, no friendship."
Lu Tong pondered for a moment and said: "The jade talismans were all in Quan Feng's place before. Will the method left by Dai Shan also be in his hands?"
"It's possible, I'll send someone to ask later."
"Good work."
He stood up and took a step, then suddenly stopped, and said with a smile: "By the way, there is one more thing. I forgot to explain last year's dividend before going to Pengfeng City, and it was delayed for a few days. Senior brother, please don't take offense."
After speaking, he turned over his hands and took out two boxes and placed them on the ground.
One box, five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Lu Tong didn’t know how much Dai Shan had given him, but he certainly wouldn’t be so generous.
One million taels is already close to 20% of the entire year's expenses of the Shantoku Department.
Tiezui raised his head, and after a brief silence, the eagle's beak moved twice and said: "Sir Wei, you're welcome. Before sunset, I asked Quan Feng to go to Shandessi in person."
"Thank you."
……
At noon, the sun is shining brightly.
Lu Tong returned to Shan Desi.
When I walked to the square, I saw a man in black robe standing at the door of Shan Desi from a distance.
The aura of the black-robed monk was uncertain.
The last moment he was still a golden elixir monk, his aura was like a huge mountain. The next moment, his breath was scattered again, like a chaotic wind.
He walked towards the door.
The man in black robe also slowly turned around.
The two looked at each other.
Lu Tong saw a totem pattern on the chest of the black-robed man, glanced at the long gray beard, and thought of a name.
"Fellow Taoist Xiao Mu?"
"Wei Hu?"
"Please!"
In the hall.
Lu Tong was very surprised. He handed over the tea himself and said, "With the help of Taoist friends, this great thing can be accomplished!"
Xiao Mu, who is in the Golden Elixir Dzogchen realm, is also the elder of Yifa Sect.
Even if his cultivation seems to have changed, his strength still cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Mu nodded slightly and thanked ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Xiao has three questions."
"Fellow Taoist, please speak!"
Lu Tong sat back on his chair, gathered his thoughts, and looked very serious.
These three questions are related to whether Xiao Mu stays or leaves.
"What are the ghost soldiers going to do?"
Lu Tong doesn’t know either.
However, I can guess some things from the ghost formations set up by the three kings and the changes in Lei Ze.
"The mortal world has changed, and the past situation of wanton robbery is gone forever. If we take action in the future, we will probably fight head-on with mortal monks."
Xiao Mu looked grim and continued to ask: "What are you going to do, fellow Taoist?"
"Wei came from an ordinary background and could not enter the academy or the sect, so he had to risk his life to gamble and take a chance on a breakthrough."
Lu Tong looked calm.
Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes and said: "You are the leader of the department, and you are not old yet, so why use your life as a bargaining chip?"
Lu Tong grinned, a smile spreading across his face.
"That's why I go to the table and gamble. The bigger the chips, the bigger the jackpot will be!"
The old man raised his hooves and showed great courage, but even if he tried hard, he could not run a few miles.
Lu Tong is in his prime.
The skills are strong, the manpower is large, and the status is not low. At this time, I will fight hard and take great risks to sneak into the underworld. I don't care about a few miles, dozens of miles, or hundreds of miles, but I am aiming to reach the sky.
Xiao Mu opened his eyes, and a divine light exploded.
"Last question, what should I do?"
"What do you want to do, fellow Taoist?"
Xiao Mu remained silent, not satisfied with this answer.
Lu Tong thought for a moment and stood up from his chair.
"The situation is unpredictable, and Wei doesn't dare to make a conclusion. But..."
He stared at Xiao Mu and said slowly: "No matter what happens, fellow Taoist can consider yourself first, then Wei, and finally other complicated people. How about that?"
