Chapter 212
Inside the tea tavern.

Lu Tong and Xiao Jing sat face to face.

Lu Tong was a little surprised.

Xiao Jing actually broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"All six of you are back?"

"It's just me this time, they're still outside."

"Be careful, people from Doumen are still looking for you."

Since the establishment of the boundary, there has been no conflict between Doumen and Jilang.However, Dou Clan is still looking for the six Xiao Jing and the murderer who secretly killed them.

Lutong was also suspected.

Half a year ago, there were often suspicious monks in the tea tavern, who sat around for a day without doing anything.

Xiao Jing took out a small cloth pocket and said, "Don't be afraid, even if Dou Clan finds us, it will be fine. Thanks to the leader for saving our lives, this is our kindness."

He took the cloth pocket.

Untie the sealing rope, inside is a small pile of golden gravel.

"Go panning for gold?"

Xiao Jing pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lu Tong glanced at it, threw the cloth pocket back, and said, "I don't need it, take it back to my family, they are living a miserable life."

There are six people, the Xiao Jing brother, the three Hao family brothers, and the only son of the Han family.

They escaped, but the family remained.

People in Doumen privately retaliated. I heard that they are still living in the shed, while the neighbors around them built their houses half a year ago.

Xiao Jing gritted his teeth, and said: "Qitou, can... Can you ask Qitou to come forward, buy three sets of yards in the workshop, and hand them over to my family. I can't trust others."

He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, shook his head and said, "It's the same wherever you move. The Dou Clan is powerful, so it's best to take your family away."

Xiao Jing lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, and said, "We are Sand Bandits now."

Sand bandits have a bad reputation.

Once this news gets out, the family members will be implicated, and some may even be expelled from Xingshan Fort.

Dou Wang has also been a Sand Bandit, but with different strengths, the situation is naturally different.

Lu Tong didn't say anything, and pushed the teacup over.

Sit for a while.

Xiao Jing drank three cups of tea and said, "Qitou, Dahao and Han Qiu have practiced the spell of turning demons, and they will come back after a year. If there is something to do in the future, Qitou can tell them to do it."

"What are you doing back here?"

he asked casually.

In the past year, I have developed a habit of asking for information everywhere.

"The Daoist Nascent Soul of Haiyue Castle has died, and a suspected tomb is going to be built nearby. Da Hao and Han Qiu came to inquire about the news."

"Suspicion?"

"Well, the brothers and sisters of the Hai family have spent a lot of money to repair five false ones and one real one. There are a total of six large tombs, all of which have sunk into quicksand."

"You want to rob a tomb?"

Sand and quicksand are a natural defense.

Many monks outside the desert specially refined a magic weapon in a tomb before death, and buried their corpses in quicksand after death.

When someone buried it, someone else dug it.

There are not a few people who make a living by robbing tombs. It is rumored that the owners of several small castles made their fortunes by robbing tombs.

It was the first time Xiao Jing was exposed to this kind of activity, and he was a little uncomfortable, and said in a muffled voice: "Well, the leader said that no matter whether it is true or not, it will be enough for us to spend a lifetime."

"The means of a real person, even if you die, you can't covet it."

Xiao Jing left Sha Jin behind, covered his head and left.

Lu Tong sat alone at the table and returned to the room after drinking a pot of tea.

……

On New Year's Eve, the outside is brightly lit.

Lu Tong asked, "Si'er, are you not going?"

"Master, Baolun is not familiar with it yet, I'm going to study it again."

"Okay, there's no need to come out, I closed the door when I went out."

He went upstairs, downstairs, and turned around.

Dahan was about to break through, and went back into the hole to sleep.The inside of the cave was pitch black, and there was a faint airflow in and out.

San Niu stayed in the pool.

Boss Dian waited in the lair, and the white-footed spider demon was quiet by nature, often staying still for a whole day.

Lu Tong walked out of the teahouse, closed the door, and walked towards the inn next door.

Guanhe Inn has changed its appearance once again.

Fan Shun paid a lot of money to ask a craftsman to refine the entire inn, and smelt Baise gravel to fill the gaps.

The thick mahogany column full of cracks has become a Baise carved dragon column.

It looks more dazzling.

In addition, handymen and waiters were specially hired to clean the inn and attract customers every day.

The handyman changed into bright clothes and greeted him at the door: "Shopkeeper Lu, the shopkeeper is in the backyard, please follow me."

"it is good."

Step into the backyard.

At first glance, there is no sand in the field of vision.

There is a circle of painted curtains on all sides, and mountains, rivers, cities, people, dragons and phoenixes are painted on the curtains.

There is a copper pot standing in front of the curtain, with green branches and red flowers inserted in the pot.

The ground is covered with a layer of green grass, and the futons are placed directly on the grass.

He looked around, and had the illusion of returning to Yunying City.

"Brother Lu, please sit down."

Fan Shun was wearing a beige gown, and said with a smile.

Lutong went to sit down and looked towards the center.

Not far away, Wu Nan sat cross-legged behind the long table, with his eyes closed, and a long sword swayed across his knee.

The other guests arrived one by one.

Fan Shun called everyone to sit down, and those who were familiar with each other started to talk together.

The small voices were mixed together, a little noisy.

Fan Shun raised his hand to signal that a band came out and began to play the flute and the piano, gently suppressing the noise so as not to disturb people talking.

How long is one piece.

Lu Tong, Mrs. Ying, and Bai Qingming sat together.

Lu Tongtong: "Master Bai, where's your precious apprentice? It cost me a few thousand taels of silver two days ago!"

"Hahaha."

Bai Qingming stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "It's unlucky for you, the historian happened to hand out 1 taels of New Year's money that day!"

Mrs. Ying was a little puzzled, looked around, and asked, "What's the matter? I haven't seen you for two days, what's going on?"

At the end of the year, the alluvial gold that the gold diggers had saved for a year was ready to sell.

Mrs. Ying was busy from morning to night every day, and she just got free tonight.

Lu Tong explained: "At the auction a few days ago, I bumped into the pretty boy."

"What treasure is worth 1 taels?"

"A magic weapon."

Lu Tong didn't hide it, and this kind of thing couldn't be hidden.

"The shopkeeper Lu is really generous. It seems that last year's business was very good."

He waved his hand and said, "No matter how good the business is, you're just a wine seller. It can't compare to Yingshaolou's big business."

"What a big business, it just looks bright."

Madam Ying picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

at the entrance.

Shi Man came in with a young nun beside him.

When Bai Qingming saw it, he got up immediately.

"Sit down first, I'll go over."

Lu Tong was a little surprised, and asked, "Who is it that Mr. Bai personally welcomes you?"

Shi Man is an apprentice.

Bai Qingming went there in person, obviously because of that nun.

"People from the Hai family."

After Madam Ying finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Tong and said, "There will be a big event in the next year."

Years later?

He immediately thought of what Xiao Jing said, that the Haiyue Castle will be repaired in the future.

"What's the big deal?"

"It has nothing to do with shopkeeper Lu, but if you have the heart, it's a good opportunity to make money."

Lu Tong couldn't help showing a smile, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Mrs. Ying, don't play charades. You and Si'er have a close relationship, so you should know that I am not a profit-seeking person. You may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Mrs. Ying has a wide network of contacts.

The big and small forces in the fort all have some kind of friendship.

In addition to collecting alluvial gold, I usually make some easy money by connecting and building bridges for all parties.

Mrs. Ying said: "The Daoist of the Hai Family has left and is planning to build a suspicious tomb."

"I've heard a little bit about it."

"The Hai family has a lot of handwriting. They only use cloud trace sand as thin as a hair to repair the tomb. At least tens of thousands of people will go to wash the sand after the end of the year."

"How big is the grave, such a big battle?"

"How can Daoist Yuanying be the same as ordinary people. He was majestic in life, and he is extraordinary without it."

Lu Tong sighed a little.

It's such a waste of money to spend so much effort and finally throw it under the sand.

"What does repairing the grave have to do with me?"

"Selling wine. The Hai family manages a meal every day, with wine and meat. The sum of the wine that tens of thousands of people drink every day is not a small amount."

He looked at Mrs. Ying and said, "Is there a way?"

Mrs. Ying smiled and said nothing.

Lu Tong also smiled, poured two glasses of wine, and held up a glass as a gesture.

Madam Ying also picked up another glass.
