Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 7: Liangyao Tea Tavern
"Liangyao Teahouse is under renovation and will open its doors on October 15th. Welcome new and old customers."
A young man in gray shirt was standing at the door of the teahouse, carrying a wooden box, and reading the notice posted on the wall.
He patted the door, but there was no response from inside.
Then he walked to the pastry shop next to him and asked, "Is there anyone at the Liangyao Teahouse next door now?"
Aunt Dian’s fourth daughter just came out.
Her tongue is different from that of human beings. She has not yet practiced the "Learning Tongue" spell, so she cannot speak human words.
Hands gestured to the boy to follow her.
They went around to the back path, pushed open the back door of the teahouse and entered.
In the backyard of the teahouse, Lu Tong was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, holding twenty half-foot-long black needles in his hand.
Under the sunlight, the surface of the black needle shines with a layer of metallic luster.
"Si'er?"
Lu Tong heard the sound of opening the door and asked without looking back.
Since the teahouse was demolished that day, Aunt Dian’s fourth daughter has been coming here every day.
Don't bother Lu Tong when he comes, he just cleans and cooks by himself. When Lu Tong asked Dahan to pour tea, she also rushed forward and backward.
Lu Tong did not chase her away, and called her Si'er like Aunt Dian, her full name was Dian Si'er.
"Bah bang bang bang."
Dian Si'er clapped his hands four times to indicate that he was here.
The boy in gray shirt asked: "Is this Shopkeeper Lu? I'm from Xunzhi Bookstore. The books ordered by Shopkeeper Lu have been printed."
Lu Tong immediately turned over and sat up, greeting: "It's me, get it quickly."
These days, everything is over.
Niao Fei's body was burned in a gold melting furnace. Only the feathers that had been sacrificed were not burned clean, leaving twenty black bone needles.
The storage sleeve left by the hoof was also opened, and the various magical weapons inside made Lu Tong feel at ease.
The tea tavern hired a bricklayer to work on it. Although Dahan had a bad mind and didn't know how to build a house, outsiders didn't know. He stood nearby and watched the workers at work. No one dared to play tricks.
Besides practicing, Lu Tong did almost nothing else every day.
Quiet and thoughtful.
When he wanted to learn something new, he realized how little knowledge the hoof had left behind.
I don’t know talismans, spells, fists, or even the places outside Yunying City. I only know **** people.
Lu Tong knew very well the importance of vision and immediately went out to buy books.
I just didn’t expect that Yunyingcheng’s books were not only expensive, but also required a reservation if you wanted to buy them.
After paying the deposit, the bookstore will find someone to print and copy.
The boy went over to open the box, took out a stack of books, and introduced them one by one: "Shopkeeper Lu, please read: "Jie Zi", "Nine Heavens", "A Brief Introduction to the Three Hundred Gods Ruins", "Hundred Treasures Map", "One The book "Records of One Hundred Battles", "Records of One Hundred Monster Killings", "Geographical Records: Yunying City", and "The Travels of Wei Bo" are slightly abridged."
Lu Tong paid the final payment, couldn't wait to see the boy off, and quickly opened "The Travels of Wei Bo".
Good things are always incomplete.
Lu Tong decided that this book was the most worth reading.
After turning two pages, he frowned and put down the book again.
The first page is full of words, and I don’t know at least half of the words in each sentence. Although I know some words, I have never seen such combinations of words and have no idea what they mean.
Lu Tong sighed, changed a book "Jie Zi", and began to learn the characters of this world.
……
On October 15th, the teahouse reopened.
The new teahouse has been built, changing from a small shop on the first floor to a small building on the second floor.
The signboard of Liangyao Teahouse was changed from a cloth flag to a solid wood plaque, which read "Liangyao Teahouse".
Lu Tong wore new clothes and new horseshoes.
Although the weather is not good, the sky is covered with clouds and there is a cool breeze on the ground.
However, people feel refreshed during happy events.
He stood at the door with a glowing face and greeted loudly: "Thank you all for your support, relatives and friends. We have enough food and wine today, please come in!"
The Liu boy took a few classmates and slipped in quickly.
"You brat, why are you running! Congratulations to Hooves... No, it's Shopkeeper Lu."
The story of Lu Tong's ability to read and write has spread among the neighbors, and everyone knows that he gave himself the personal name "Lu Tong".
Blacksmith Liu handed over a copper elephant money pot the size of a washbasin and said with a smile: "The wealth will be great!"
Hoof has bought many magic weapons from Blacksmith Liu, and they have a good relationship.
Lu Tong also often went to chat with Liu Blacksmith and inquired about various rumors about east, west, north, south, and scattered cultivating sects, and the relationship became closer.
He took the bronze elephant with a smile and handed it to Dahan, saying: "Old Liu, I have prepared a jar of good wine for you and put it on the counter."
"I didn't tell you earlier!"
Tiejiang Liu immediately pushed away the people next to him and rushed in, running faster than his boy.
Wang Cheng and Ku Meiqin came over together.
The two had just gotten married. They went out in pairs every day and wanted to stay together.
Kumeiqin took out a wooden box and handed it to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng smiled at Ku Meiqin, glanced at it twice, then turned his head reluctantly, handed over the wooden box and said, "Congratulations, shopkeeper."
Lu Tong took the wooden box and saw a pattern of herbal medicine painted on it. His expression changed slightly and he said: "It's too precious."
Wang Cheng subconsciously looked at Ku Meiqin.
Kumeiqin's fox eyes curled up and she said with a smile: "It's not heavy at all. On the day we got married, the shopkeeper gave me a big gift. We should have come to visit the shopkeeper a long time ago."
Lu Tong did not refuse.
On the day the two got married, Lu Tong just opened the storage sleeve left by his hoof, and his net worth instantly skyrocketed.
In addition, Hoofi had never received an invitation before, so he didn’t know how many gifts to send.
In the end, Lu Tong gave a magic weapon that Hoof had used before, which turned out to be the most spectacular gift of the day.
Not only was he invited to the main table for a banquet, but he also got to know several aunties who had daughters to be married.
Lu Tong put the herbs in his sleeve and said to the two of them: "There is a private room on the second floor. You go up first. We will discuss the herbal tea later."
"The shopkeeper is busy first."
Lu Tong didn’t know many acquaintances, and soon all the neighbors came in.
Only he and Dahan were left standing at the door.
He turned around and looked at the plaque, feeling an uncontrollable joy in his heart. ~IndoMTL.com~ A tall building rises from the ground, and this tea tavern is the starting point for his transformation in Yunying City!
Looking up for a few times, he suddenly felt dizzy. He quickly held on to the pillar next to him and smiled in his heart: He was really overwhelmed by joy.
Just as Lu Tong was thinking this, he turned around and saw Dahan pressing down on him like a wall of flesh.
"Dahan!"
Dahan fell down straight without any reaction, pressing Lu Tong underneath him.
Dahan is seven feet two tall, almost one and a half taller than an ordinary person. Covered in snow-white fat, when he stood still he looked like a snowman with a pig's head in winter.
Lu Tong was pressed down, his whole head was stuck in the fat, and he couldn't breathe at all.
But lying on the ground, he finally felt something was wrong.
The ground was undulating, and there was a "rumbling" sound deep underground.
This is...
There was an earthquake!
Lu Tong pushed Dahan away with all his strength, and when he sat up from the ground, he realized that the street was already full of people.
Dahan was lying on the ground, his tongue sticking out of his mouth, and he mumbled: "Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy."
"Shopkeeper Lu, it turns out you are hiding here. Why can't I find you?"
Tiejiang Liu hugged the wine jar and pulled Lu Tong up.
Lu Tong leaned against the pillar and complained: "Why did we catch up with the earthquake today?"
"This is not an earthquake."
Blacksmith Liu took a leisurely sip of wine and continued: "It's going to fog."
Foggy?
Lu Tong was a little confused at first, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally dug up an old incident from Hoofu's memory.
Nine years ago, it also shook.
After that incident, the number of monsters and half-demon in Yunying City decreased by half.
