Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 21 The Cave of All Desires

the next day.

The front of the tea tavern is open, and the backyard has broken ground.

Lu Tong stood at the door, wearing a black glove on his left hand and leaning on a thick ebony crutch, greeting regular customers whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Awu, how is business doing recently?"

"Master Zhao, please come inside, your Baihuamo has been brewed."

In the tea tavern, old acquaintances come to drink several kinds of expensive tea.

The reputation left by the hoof is good. When Lu Tong came back to open for the first time, regular customers came to support him.

Dahan and Erhu serve tea to the guests one by one.

After all the guests sat down and chatted, Lu Tong walked to the counter and said, "Dahan, you greet here. Erhu, come with me."

Go up to the second floor and enter the innermost private room.

Lu Tong sat down and asked, "Er Hu, how do you feel?"

"very good."

Erhu's face was hairy, and his round eyes were bloodshot.Her energy has not recovered yet, but she is much better than yesterday.

"What did you do before?"

"In Liude Building, we specialize in delivering food to rich families."

Lu Tong nodded, took out the contract that had been drawn up after half an hour of looking it up in the dictionary, and handed it over: "Look at it, if there is no problem, just make a fingerprint."

Dian Sier and Dahan did not sign any contract.

But the two tigers are different. Lu Tong has not fully understood the two tigers, so he must agree to die with a contract.

The contract he made was a bit harsh.

In one of them, when Erhu entered the teahouse, he was seriously injured and dying. If he wanted to leave Lu Tong, he could beat Erhu half to death.

The two tigers didn't even look at it, and directly covered their right palm with ink pad, making a handprint.

"Don't look at it?"

"I don't know how to read."

Lu Tong smiled and shook his head, put away the contract and said, "Then let me tell you, if you want to leave the tea tavern, you can get out as you came in."

Erhu nodded without saying anything.

Lu Tong took out a stack of papers and put it in front of Erhu.

Just when he was about to speak, he couldn't help sighing when he thought that Erhu couldn't read and certainly couldn't write.

"Er Hu, how is your memory?"

"good."

"What about the ears?"

"Alright."

Lu Tong pointed to the porcelain cup on the table and said, "Pick up this cup and bring it to your ear."

The porcelain cups on the table are a pair.

One was upside down on the floor, the other was placed on the table, and the bottoms of the two cups were connected together with wire.

Erhu didn't understand what was going on, so he picked up the cup and brought it to his ear.

Lu Tong asked, "Can you hear what the guests are saying?"

"I can hear it, but I can't hear it clearly."

"It counts as much as you hear clearly, remember everything you hear, and tell me when I come back. Do you understand?"

News is money.

Lu Tong has no background, no connections, and no way to get in touch with news about making money.

Fortunately, the tea tavern is located near the city gate, where various figures of various religions come and go.

When they drank tea and chatted, they often mentioned unremarkable gossip.

Before, Lu Tong was behind the counter and listened to their chats every day, and he had figured out some ways.

However, when drinking tea, the more you drink, the more awake you become, and you only talk for three minutes, and often stop talking about key points.

Only then did Lu Tong change the teahouse into a tea tavern.

Erhu didn't know the deep meaning behind it, nodded and agreed, and said, "Boss, I want a pen and paper."

"Why do you need a pen if you can't read?"

"Mark it, or you won't remember it."

Lu Tong left behind paper, pen, ink and inkstone.

Go downstairs alone, waiting for the people from Wanyu Cave to come.

……

Waited all afternoon.

As it was getting late, a golden-haired camel stuck its head into the teahouse and asked, "Lu Tong, who is the shopkeeper Lu?"

"I am."

Lu Tong was sitting behind the counter, rubbing the handle of his cane.

The black handle was coated with a layer of oil.

"The supervisor ordered me to pick up Shopkeeper Lu."

Lu Tong explained briefly and walked out of the tea tavern.

The golden-haired camel was standing at the door, a ten-foot-tall camel with fluffy hair, like a big cotton ball.

There are two meaty humps on the back, and there is a seat in the middle of the humps.

The golden-haired camel knelt on the ground with its two front legs: "Master Lu, come and sit down."

"Thank you."

It was the first time for Lu Tong to ride a camel, and he only felt that his buttocks were soft, which was unexpectedly very comfortable.

……

There is a high and low mountain of hundreds of feet in the north of the city.

As night falls, lights are lit on the mountain.

In the blazing fire, there are many pavilions, big golden roofs, glazed tiles, and layers of cornices are like birds vying for the sky.

On the left side of the mountain, in the gorgeous flower forest, there are many giant relief sculptures.

All the statues are extremely enchanting and beautiful, including foxes smelling incense, golden pheasants seducing souls, golden leopards sleeping...

On the right side of the mountain, a group of golden haze shrouded the middle of the mountain.

In the middle of the haze stands a tower building tens of feet high, and the flags hanging beside it are billowing like waves, with the words on it: "Bringing pride and passion to a new sky".

Lu Tong sat on the hunchback and asked, "What's the place on the mountainside?"

"On the left is the Courtyard of Debauchery, where there are all kinds of people, demons, and half-demons. On the right is the Indulgence Building, where all kinds of games for gambling and betting are available. Shopkeeper Lu, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Go see Manager Lao first."

From the foot of the mountain to the back of the mountain, enter a huge cave.

A lighting orb is embedded in the cave every two feet, and every few tens of feet, there will be some small holes on the left and right sides.

"Treasurer Lu, welcome from afar."

Lao Crow stood at the entrance of a cave, greeting with a smile on his face.

Lu Tong turned over and got off the camel, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Manager."

"plz follow me."

Enter the room and sit down, and the servant will serve you tea.

After some politeness.

Lao Ya asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, you are also a businessman, so I'll just say it straight. We have a lot of boxing masters, but you get what you pay for. How much money does Shopkeeper Lu plan to spend?"

"80 taels."

This is not a small amount.

According to the experience of hoofs and bird feathers, the savings of ordinary people in the city range from as little as 30 taels to as much as 60 or [-] taels.

A household that can take out 80 taels of cash is already considered a small fortune.

Lao Ya's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

She is very experienced, as long as she takes a look at the clothes, manners, hairpin accessories, and the conspicuous magic tools of the guests, she can immediately judge how much oil and water they can dig.

Lu Tong's clothes are coarse cloth robes, hairpins, and crutches are all ordinary things, but his behavior is very calm and composed, as if he has some wealth.

At the beginning, Lao Ya estimated in his heart that the transaction would be around 30 taels of silver at most.

A smile appeared on Lao Ya's face again, this time the smile was much more sincere.

"Shopkeeper Lu, wait a moment, I'll go and ask the boxing master to come over."

"it is good."

Lu Tong sat in the room and waited.

After a while, a maid came in for a good cup of tea.

Then a few pretty little girls came in and asked in the lead: "Immortal Elder, do you need servants to serve you?"

Lu Tong nodded slightly.

The little girls immediately dispersed, rubbing shoulders, rubbing legs, handing fruit, and telling jokes to relieve boredom.

There is a soft voice in the ear, and the fragrance is lingering in the nose.

Lu Tong was completely immersed in it, and sighed in his heart: No wonder Wanyu Cave is so famous. If the tea tavern can achieve this level, why not make money.

After a long time, Lao Ya came in with two people, and said with a smile:

"Treasurer Lu has been waiting for a long time. They are the boxing masters I specially selected for you."

"This is the old man Zhu Fanzhu. He used to have a name called 'Huaquan Baishou', and he created his own Baina boxing."

"This is Lu Tiezhang, and he is also famous in Yunying City with his mountain-cracking iron palm."

Zhu Fan was a white-haired old man with a burly figure.

Lu Tiezhang is a young and strong man, his hands are black as if forged with iron.

Lu Tong leaned back on the chair, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Baina Fist and Cracking Mountain Iron Palm are both fists and feet fused with spells?"

Lao Ya smiled and said: "It's natural, these two schools of martial arts even sent someone to copy a copy, saying that it will be stored in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion."

Lu Tong waved his hand, and the little girls immediately understood and stopped their hands and left the room.

He walked across from the two of them, and said: "Please both of you, attack me, whoever is more powerful, I will..."

"Shopkeeper Lu, may I say something first?" Zhu Fan took a step forward and cupped his hands.

"please say."

Zhu Fan said: "If Shopkeeper Lu chooses me, besides the Baina Fist, I will teach you a few extra moves. In addition, I also know a little bit about the staff."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands towards Lu Tiezhang and said, "Brother Lu, I am getting old, I need to save some coffin books, let my brother be unreasonable for a while."

Lu Tiezhang's face turned black and blue, he gritted his teeth and glared at Zhu Fan, then turned to look at Lao Ya.
