Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 247: Cang Gou
At the end of the cave, there is a glowing butter lamp.
Lu Tong carried the lunch box over.
Song Yanbai was sitting on a low stool with a dead dog lying in front of him.
The dog is big.
The head and body alone are almost six feet long. Most of the area is black, with a few clusters of white hair on its back and a large patch of white hair on its belly.
However, the white hair has been dyed red with blood, and there is no good skin on the whole body.
He put down the lunch box, took out two bottles of wine, and handed one over.
Song Yanbai shook his head and said: "You drink first, and I will help him clean the wound. There is a stool over there."
Lu Tong looked around a few times, found a stool, and sat down next to it.
Song Yanbai continued what he had done before.
Tuck the torn flesh from the dog's belly back into its original position, and then sew it up with black thread.
He looked at it for a long time and gradually noticed something different.
Song Yanbai has changed.
He became calm, his breathing was calm, and his hand movements were slow and slow, like an old man who had lived for most of his life sewing clothes.
Nearly a hundred wounds were sutured one by one.
Song Yanbai took out a foot-long stone, stepped on it, and then picked up the stick next to it.
The tip of the stick touched the stone, and with a few movements of his wrist, he carved two words on the stone: Ba Tian.
Lu Tong stared at Song Yanbai's hand and the four-foot short stick, and said in shock: "What kind of sword technique is this?"
He can also write with a sword.
But when Song Yanbai was carving words, no stone chips fell out wherever the tip of the stick passed, and it made dents very easily.
It's not like carving, it's like writing in the sand.
Song Yanbai placed the stone next to the dead dog's head, picked up the wine pot, and said softly: "The sword technique of the gray dog. The world is ever-changing and people's hearts are uncertain, just like the gray dog in the white clouds."
He seemed to understand.
"Are you feeding the dog here actually for the purpose of spiritual practice?"
"Yes and no."
Song Yanbai's face showed a little more vicissitudes of life, but he was still very handsome.
"I met a senior. After some advice, I realized clearly that my previous practice was just wallowing in the quagmire."
Song Yanbai paused, gave a wry smile, looked at the dead dog at his feet, and said: "Just like them, they bite each other. If you win, you can eat a meal of meat. But no matter how many wins you win, in the eyes of outsiders, you are still just a dog. That’s all.”
Lu Tong frowned and said, "All things compete with each other. This is how they are born."
"I'm afraid that if we fight over and over again, in the end we will forget why we are fighting and what we are fighting for."
He looked at Song Yanbai again and said, "It seems that your fortune is quite good."
Song Yanbai smiled.
Bring out a small wooden table, take out plates of dishes from the lunch box, and place them on the table.
The two sat down facing each other.
Lu Tong asked: "What is that senior's cultivation level?"
"I don't know, at least in the Golden Core realm, or higher. He is standing in front of me, and I can't feel any mana fluctuations."
The two drank a drink.
He smiled and said: "You are lucky, you can stay in the city and senior will come to your door."
"This matter is related to you."
"Oh?"
Lu Tong was very surprised. He stopped moving, put down his chopsticks, and said, "I know him too?"
"No. Bai Qiao came to me that day and said that we would never have anything to do with her from now on. She also said that the last time she sold her treasury secretly, you helped her because of her face, and told me not to get involved in this kind of business in the future."
He shook his head and said with a smile: "Bai Qiao doesn't have such a big reputation."
Song Yanbai also smiled.
"I know, but I thought about it later. You were just looking for her to take advantage of her. But I didn't understand at the time, so I went to see Mrs. Ninth in despair, planning to quit Canxiang Tower and break up with all of you from now on."
"Haha, your broken knife is a bit sloppy."
Lu Tong picked up the wine glass, poured a glass for Song Yanbai, and also filled it for himself.
Song Yanbai held the wine glass and looked at the light on the surface of the wine.
"I went to Canxiang Tower and met the senior before I entered. He said that I was the 'Blue Stone after the Rain' and that all my previous experiences were due to fate. After talking about many great principles, he taught me a set of techniques. ”
"That senior is outside Canxiang Building?"
"Yes, it looks very ordinary. At first I thought he was a servant brought here by some lady."
Lu Tong picked up the wine glass and said slowly: "Senior, why are you going to Canxiang Tower?"
Canxiang Tower is close to the corner of the city and is in a very remote location.
There are no restaurants or inns around.
Except for those who go specifically to Canxiang Tower, there is usually no one at the door for a long time.
Song Yanbai thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know, my mind was in chaos at the time, how could I care about this."
"When was that day?"
“I can’t remember the days just after the New Year last year, the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.”
He felt a little suspicious and carefully wrote down the date.
The two drank another drink and chatted while eating.
After a long time, Lu Tong stood up and left.
Song Yanbai saw each other off all the way, passing by a dog fighting pit where two dogs were biting each other crazily.
Stop and look at it for a while.
Song Yanbai said: "Brother Lu, you have a clear mind and have noticed early on that the world is a big quagmire. Why not find a method suitable for pure cultivation, leave this quagmire, and be pure."
Lu Tong looked into the pit carefully. He waited until a dog was bitten to death, then smiled and looked away.
"What?"
"I said, there are countless martial arts in the world, why not choose one suitable for Qing practice to avoid these disputes. If you are willing, we can practice "Cang Dog Sword Technique" together."
He thought for a moment and said: "I have too many desires. If trouble doesn't come to me, I will go find it."
Send all the way out of the cave.
It was just after noon, and the sun in the sky was still dazzling.
Lu Tong looked Song Yanbai up and down and said, "It's strange, now they look like a perfect match."
"What is a good match?"
He smiled, pointed to the east, and said, "You guys. Bai Qiao thought you were reduced to raising dogs for a living, so let me come over and help you."
Song Yanbai's expression froze and he slowly lowered his head.
After a few breaths, he raised his head and said, "Brother Lu, please thank her for her kindness. However, I have cut off my secular thoughts and will devote myself to pure cultivation from now on."
"Thank you yourself."
Lu Tong waved his hand and strode down the mountain.
……
Canxiang Tower.
Lu Tong stood in front of the screen, looked at each other, and asked: "Why is there no Meng Dahe?"
Madame Ninth looked lazy, holding Scale Tail in her hand like a golden cane.
"Why, did Meng Dahe offend you?"
"Not yet."
"That's good. Meng Dahe is not someone to be trifled with. Being an enemy of him means being an enemy of the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunying City."
He thought for a moment, walked to an empty screen, took out a pen and started writing and drawing.
Dachang Mountain, Shiyang Village, Qingge Village, Wengmei Village, Abeng Village... Yijie City, Changliu City, Chunran City... Yunying City.
After a long time.
Lu Tong put down his pen and looked at the screen.
Nine people said: "What do you want to do?"
"It's time to expand the business of the Chamber of Commerce. Erhu can take care of it over at the village, and you can make arrangements outside."
Madam Ninth rolled her eyes and said, "I am only responsible for half of it, so who has the final say in the business?"
Lu Tong knew as soon as he heard that Madam Ninth wanted to catch them all.
"I have the final say."
"Humph!"
Mrs. Ninth turned around and left.
He glanced at the screen again, followed him, picked her up, and said, "There's something I need to ask you about."
"Don't ask me!"
Lu Tong used some force on his hand~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "I can only ask you about this. Who did you meet on the second and third day of the Lunar New Year last year?"
"Who?"
"Think about it, you can't usually see it, or you don't dare to see it."
"Last year, just after the New Year...on the second day of the Lunar New Year, yes, Jingxin is here."
After Mrs. Ninth finished speaking, she suddenly reacted, thumped twice hard, and said fiercely: "Lu, what do you mean! What are you afraid of seeing?"
"That's good."
A smile appeared on his face, and he threw the big white fish flapping in his arms onto the couch.
"Lu, please tell me clearly!"
Lu Tong ignored him, sat aside, half-lyed down, took out an empty pipe and knocked twice.
Mrs. Ninth calmed down for a while, sat aside and stuffed tobacco into the pipe.
"What is she here for?"
"Farewell. The letter I gave you was left on that day."
The Ninth Lady lit a fire.
He took a sip and blew out the white smoke. He thought of that sentence again: There is no limit to the north or the south in the sky or the earth.
"What else did she say?"
"You said that Yunying City is just a drop in the ocean. You also said that you have a glimmer of hope and you can jump out to see the true beauty of the world. I also advised me..."
Madam Ninth stopped and looked at Lu Tong thoughtfully.
"What?"
Lu Tong raised his eyelids.
Madame Ninth continued: "If I am really smart, I will take good care of the Chamber of Commerce. She will not treat me badly, and you will not treat me badly."
"You didn't ask her where she was going?"
"Asked, she said to go south."
The book says that the southernmost part is a forest, which is full of miasma, known as the "Ten Thousand Miles of Poison Miasma".
"There is no limit to the south."
He read it silently and understood in his heart.
Jing Xin probably went to the south where the poisonous miasma was.
