Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 86: Medicinal wine
Wulaofang, the innermost layer.
An open water area covered with various kinds of aquatic plants.
A small white wooden building in the center.
The entrance to the water body.
A little Taoist boy in white saw the visitor and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, are you here?"
Lu Tong was dressed in a black robe, with tiger paws and bare feet, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fu Cao, what did you talk about today?"
It has been more than a month since I entered the Fairy Ship.
Lu Tong traveled all over Wulaofang.
This place is indeed rich in products, and it is far cheaper than Yunying City.
Various spiritual grasses, corals, ores, water monsters...
In addition, the Friendly Elder among the Five Elders teaches the Dharma every five days.
After hearing this, Lu Tong felt like he had found a treasure.
You Lao's teachings are not very profound, and he often talks about one thing here and another.
However, Lu Tong's foundation is really weak.
No matter what Mr. You said, he could gain something.
I have been coming here every time for more than a month, and I have become familiar with the little Taoist boy at the door.
"It's said to be about meditation, but once the lecture begins, it won't be clear."
Lu Tong shook his head, took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.
Xiao Fucao put away the silver and poured mana into the jade talisman in her hand.
Various aquatic plants nearby stretched out, and water droplets slid off the surface, climbing, entwining, and overlapping each other, and soon woven into a futon of aquatic plants.
Lu Tong sat cross-legged on the futon.
Aquatic plants separate a waterway.
A water plant pulled the futon and quickly approached the white wooden building.
Monks and monsters arrived one after another.
A clear bird song sounded, and an old woman in white clothes, white hair, and white eyebrows appeared in front of the wooden building.
As soon as the old woman appeared, she immediately said:
“Today I’m going to talk about meditation.”
"I once traveled to the northern border and met a monk who specialized in the 'Free Way'."
"This person doesn't wear clothes, doesn't enter the house, doesn't talk to others, has nothing to grow on his body, wears hair and drinks blood."
"I followed this person for three months and gained some insights."
"Sitting quietly means rejuvenating the mind and eliminating desires."
"...I feel lonely and have many thoughts, and my heart is often upset and angry..."
"Speaking of distracting thoughts, we are more than three hundred miles west of here..."
Half an hour later, the birds chirped again.
Youlao immediately stopped talking and then walked away.
Lu Tong sat on the futon and thought about it for a moment before standing up.
The other monks and monsters have left.
At the entrance, Lu Tong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Fucao, saying: "Xiao Fucao, I have some doubts about my practice. Please forward it to You Lao for me."
The note is related to "Three Qi Corpse Smoke".
After Xiao Fucao hesitated for a while, he still put away the note and said: "I only promise to give it to You Lao. You won't know if you see it or not."
"Okay, thank you."
……
On the T-shaped wooden road.
You can see it from a distance, a white cloth flag fluttering in the wind.
On the cloth are five big characters "Liangyao Tea Tavern".
Under the cloth flag that is more than one foot long, there is also a small wooden sign hung.
There are two columns of small characters written on the wooden sign. You can only see them clearly if you get closer. It says:
"Purchased at a high price, the giant horned salamander has one horn"
Five days ago.
The Baili family, the head of the Baili Chamber of Commerce, specially sent someone to deliver Jing Xin’s reply.
The content of the letter is very short.
Only five words:
"Horn, Bighorn Salamander."
Lu Tong understood instantly, and the mirror pointed at Bai Shi.
After all, apart from a lot of nonsense, the only question in the letter was asking what white stone is and some white stone fragments.
Go to the flag.
The originally bare deck has completely changed its appearance.
At each of the four corners, there is a water bamboo two feet high.
An off-white tarpaulin, tied to water bamboo at the four corners, hangs in mid-air to form a slightly weird tea shed.
Looks like a big spider web.
Under the tea shed, there are twelve sets of tables and chairs made of water bamboo.
Three tables of guests were drinking tea and chatting.
"Boss, I'm back."
Dahan sat behind the counter, staring at pig eyes, practicing the skill of growing scales.
Lu Tong opened the ledger.
Bad business is better than nothing.
Bush Meiqin is not nearby, and there is no free medicine residue available, so you can only buy fresh herbs.
The cost has become higher.
Without the support of old acquaintances, the flow of people coming and going is not too dense.
There are fewer customers.
After coming and going, including Dahan and Erhu’s wages, we can’t make ends meet.
Lu Tong shook his head.
Walking about ways to get money nearby, he walked into the cabin.
The cabin is large and part of it is below deck.
Erhu was lying on an empty bed, holding a notebook in his arms and a brush in his right hand.
A white water snail is placed next to the ear.
A similar water snail is attached to the top of the cabin.
"How was it?"
The two tigers jumped up so fiercely that they sat upright and said, "Boss, when did you come down?"
Lu Tong ignored him and took the notebook.
It is filled with random words.
After looking twice, I didn’t recognize most of them.
He sighed, threw the notebook back, and asked, "What news did you hear?"
"It's useless, it's all bragging! Either I made money or killed monsters. There was also a table whispering, trying to trick us with fake giant horned salamanders."
In this world, sneaky guys are everywhere.
Fortunately, Erhu was eavesdropping.
Lu Tong noted this in his mind and waved his hand: "Go back and lie down."
……
As night falls, the teahouse is filled with customers.
Lu Tong sat cross-legged in the hall, looking at the guests below, spitting out billowing red smoke.
Red smoke coiled back and forth between the mouth, nose, and hands.
Half an hour later, Lu Tong put away his method.
Dian Si'er immediately handed over a small cauldron.
In the cauldron, there were stewed several water plants and a pink jellyfish as big as a fist.
The peach blossom jellyfish soup doesn’t look good.
But the effect of replenishing blood energy is much better than the Eight Treasure Pill.
Pour it into your belly in one gulp, and hot air surges into your throat.
Lu Tong held his breath, forced it down, and after a long time he let out a long breath.
Dian Si'er took the small tripod and said: "Master, I have learned another dish and I will cook it for you tomorrow."
Lu Tong's expression changed. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, drink the jellyfish soup first."
The fishing boat was not sold for money, and a cookbook was replaced.
Peach Blossom Jellyfish Soup is one of them.
In order to master this dish, Dian Sier studied for more than half a month and stewed hundreds of peach blossom jellyfish.
Lu Tong also ate all kinds of jellyfish soup, including sour, numbing, bitter, burnt, sticky, etc.
Now, it is finally possible to enter.
The next dish, don’t be in a hurry.
The guests left one after another, and the last remaining guest lingered.
A big spider climbed up the water bamboo along the tarp.
Through the spider web, he got into the main hall and yelled at Dian Si'er.
After a while, Dian Si'er said: "Master, that guest wants to see you."
Lu Tong ignored the following and said: "Si'er, pass on the tongue-learning skills to the boss and the others tonight."
"But, Boss Lao said ~IndoMTL.com~ it's not good for the maids to talk too much, it's enough for me to tell you."
"What the **** is labor in charge?"
Lu Tong waved his hand, stood up and said, "Here, the master has the final say."
……
On the deck.
A monk in aqua blue robes sat alone at the table.
There is a jug of wine on the table and a long box.
Lu Tong went over to sit down and asked, "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
"Hou Che."
Hou Che's eyes did not dodge, nor did he hesitate when he spoke.
It's not like he's looking for trouble.
Lu Tong asked again: "Young Daoist Hou are looking for me, why are you looking for me?"
Hou Che stretched out his hand to open the long box and said with a smile: "Please take a look."
A foot-long snow-white horn.
There is no flaw on the corners, and there is a faint milky fragrance.
Lu Tong's heart skipped a beat.
Big horned salamander?
He recalled what Erhu had overheard, and his eyes flashed.
What a coincidence.
Eighty percent is false and 20% is true.
"How much?"
"No money."
Lu Tong’s heart skipped a beat again.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false.
"Okay."
Lu Tong reached for the box.
The indifference on Hou Che's face finally dissipated, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said: "I don't need any money, but I need a small favor from the shopkeeper."
Another sneaky guy.
Lu Tong smiled, shook his head and said, "Go ahead."
"I want to sell a medicinal wine here at the shopkeeper's shop."
The smile on Lu Tong's face slowly faded and he asked seriously: "What medicinal wine?"
"Golden Fetus Medicinal Wine."
Lu Tong stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Dahan, see you off!"
