Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 322: Guanshi Hu
The small white bamboo building was just built, and it looks neat, clean, and deserted from the inside out.
Inside the building.
Cuiwen looked lonely, sitting alone at the table, seeming to be recalling the "hustle and bustle" of the past on Zhiming Mountain.
It was dark outside the window next to him, making him look even more lonely.
Lu Tong went over and sat across from him, took out the tea set and boiled water, and said, "Master, Ji Yan did not appear today."
"Yeah."
Cuiwen responded quietly, still sitting still.
The water boiled, and a stream of hot steam came out, dispelling the chill in the bamboo house.
Lu Tong made two pots of tea, poured out a cup and handed it over, asking, "Will Ji Yan do anything again?"
I had an appointment with Hu Lian that day.
But Chuiwen's sudden visit completely disrupted the plan.
Chui Wen blinked and finally regained some energy, saying: "Of course, I dared to take action secretly when I was here, and no one would pressure him when I left."
"Where is the new first wife?"
"The newcomers from outside the mountain cannot suppress the good news. The first master is only the head of the masters in name only, and it is not good to interfere in the private affairs of the masters."
Lu Tong nodded, picked up the tea cup and blew in the hot air.
If you don’t stop, you can only chop off the hand that is stretched out.
He took a sip of scalding tea and asked, "Can Hu Lian be killed?"
Cui Wen nodded, then immediately shook his head and said: "Killing is the last resort. If you are too murderous, the gain will outweigh the loss in the end."
Lu Tong put down the cup.
"Please give me some advice, Master."
Cuiwen became more energetic, moved his body, and said, "Have you ever heard of Daolu?"
“Never seen it.”
"The antlers of the sword deer are like knives. If they are attacked by a pack of wolves, several deer from each herd will rush out to fight the wolves. Interestingly, all sword deer that have fought with wolves will, without exception, Isolated and marginalized by the deer herd."
"Why?"
"Think about it, even wolves dare to kill. Once the food is insufficient, who can grab them?"
Lu Tong thought for a moment, with a smile on his face.
"Driving the strong to defend the weak, this kind of monster can actually reproduce."
"Meat animals also have ways of living like meat animals."
He shook his head and said: "People are not sword deer, people will only follow the strong."
"That's wrong. People will only follow strong men who are gentle, tolerant, and self-sacrificing. For those who kill people easily, if there is a chance, they will kill them quickly."
Lu Tong remained silent.
Chuiwen picked up the teacup and said slowly: "The human heart is the most complex, and part of it is Daolu."
Sitting for a long time.
Cuiwen is old and has a tired look on his face.
After Lu Tong washed the tea sets, he stood up and said goodbye: "Master, it's getting late. I'll go down the mountain first and come back to visit another day."
"Go ahead."
Exit the small building.
Lu Tong was preparing to go down the mountain alone.
A figure jumped out from the side and shouted softly: "Master Lu, are you ready to go back to Yunying City?"
He turned around and said unexpectedly: "Guanshi Hu, haven't you left yet?"
Guanshi Hu took out a lantern, put on a smile and said, "I thought Mr. Lu would go back too, so I happened to be on the way, so I waited for a while."
Lu Tong couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
The "a while" that Guanshi Hu said lasted almost two hours.
"Let's go."
"Hey."
The two of them went down the mountain together.
Guanshi Hu was one step behind, stretched out the lantern in his hand, and was just one step ahead of Lu Tong.
Go down the mountain and leave the clan.
Outside the sect's formation, Guanshi Hu's carriage was waiting at the roadside, and the two of them got into the carriage again.
Inside the carriage.
Guanshi Hu was sitting on the left, carefully looking at Lu Tong's face, feeling very confused.
Recently, the grain bank has changed to a new owner, and its old backer has also collapsed.
I originally planned to buy a favor and reveal the news about my old patron to the new owner, but unexpectedly, things turned out to be faster than my face. The new owner turned out to be the student of my old patron.
Not to mention that I didn’t get any benefits at all, I was left behind and was no longer a human being.
"Is something wrong?"
Lu Tong noticed the little look in Manager Hu’s eyes and asked proactively.
Guanshi Hu’s white beard trembled violently, shook his head quickly and said: “No, it’s okay.”
Lu Tong took a guess and asked, "I heard that you are planning to retreat?"
Guanshi Hu looked bitter and opened his mouth without making any sound.
I have indeed said this before.
When I first accepted Hu Lian, in order to reassure Ji Yan, Hu Lian and others, I said I planned to step down and let Hu Lian take over.
But that was arranged by Chui Wen.
Although Mr. Hu is getting older, he still doesn’t want to retire and wants to earn more money for a few more years.
Lu Tong looked up and down and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have any difficulties?"
"No."
Guanshi Hu felt very regretful. He slowly lowered his head and said in a solemn voice: "I'm old, I'm tired."
Lu Tong shook his head and said: "We can't retreat now."
"What?"
Guanshi Hu sat up immediately.
Lu Tong glanced at it and frowned slightly.
Meng Dahe is dead and has a new owner. The people below should be guessing about the new owner's methods and attitude.
If you change someone at this time, the people below will think too much.
And Hu Lian cannot stay, and it is even more necessary for Manager Hu to step forward and stabilize people's hearts.
"The grain industry is undergoing major changes. This is the time when we need experienced hands. You can't leave at this time."
Guanshi Hu was extremely happy, his eyes quickly turned red under the great sadness and joy, he nodded and said: "I won't go, I won't go."
Lu Tong was full of doubts.
He doesn't care about good or bad people, he only cares about whether they are useful or not. He never cares about what Guanshi Hu does.
On the contrary, I don’t understand why the thin old man with white hair started crying inexplicably.
"You~IndoMTL.com~your body and bones...are you okay?"
"It can be done! It won't be a problem to work for another seven or eight years!"
……
Canxiang Tower.
There is a huge pool in the bedroom. There is a futon in the middle of the pool, and the left and right sides are shaped like yin and yang fishes.
The two of them finished practicing the "Combining Two Treasures Art" on the futon and separated.
Lu Tong soaked in the cold blue water, resting his arms on the edge of the pool, holding a pipe, and said: "Hu Lian can't stay, Yin Qing doesn't know when he will come back, so he must find a way quickly."
No one responded.
Next to her, Mrs. Ninth had rosy cheeks and squinted eyes, looking like a big white fat fish in the scorching water.
He bit the cigarette holder, took a puff, and said: "Just kill the others, no one will care. If Hu Lian dies, Ji Yan will definitely not give up, and entanglement will be another big trouble."
A cloud of thick white smoke was exhaled.
Lu Tong glanced to the side and said, "Jiu'er?"
After a while.
Mrs. Ninth stretched out, swam to the edge of the pool, took out her pipe, and complained: "What a letdown! She was so comfortable, and she mentioned murder as soon as she opened her mouth."
Lu Tong smiled and said: "This matter is done. Even if you want to die in comfort, I will accompany you!"
Mrs. Ninth rolled her eyes, lay down and rested her head on the edge of the pool, raised her pipe, took a puff and slowly exhaled.
"Living alone in the city, I have no family, I am not greedy for money, I am not lustful, and I have a big backer. It is difficult..."
Lu Tong was silent for a moment and said: "Hu Lian has a bad temper and is a bit impatient."
When they met on the building boat, Hu Lian tried to persuade Lu Tong to kill Meng Dahe. When things go well, it's hard to hide the pride in your expression. Things didn't go well, and I quickly became anxious and frowning.
"I am impatient and impatient, so I thought of a helper."
"Who?"
"Ma Lankui, Meng Dahe's brother-in-law."
