Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 26 Thief

Thief.

Lu Tong looked back.

As soon as he turned around, a large group of little guys just now disappeared.

Only the corners and dark places are left, with some probing shadows hidden.

Erhu's face was livid, and he clenched his fists and said: "It must be those little bastards, I heard before, they look like beggars, stealing and robbing behind their backs, it's not a good thing!"

"I'll go find them."

Dahan walked towards the corner.

Immediately there were several murmurs in the darkness, followed by a "collapse".

An arrow flew out from nowhere and nailed to the ground two steps in front of Dahan.

Dahan ignored it and continued to take the next step.

Lu Tong shouted: "Stop!"

Dahan then stopped, turned around and looked at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong shook his head vigorously, glanced into the alley, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

Those three knives were worthless, they were just ordinary weapons in the blacksmith shop, not even magical weapons.

But Lu Tong knew very well that those guys hiding in the dark would kill people, even desperately, for this worthless thing.

Because their lives are like weeds, worthless, not even the three knives.

Inside a somewhat dilapidated inn.

Lu Tong, Dahan, and Erhu sat on a long soil kang.

In the bedside stove, a whole stove of firewood was burning, and the cold mud room quickly became warm.

Dahan's two pupils were filled with black, and he exuded an extremely strong evil spirit.

It was the first time Erhu saw Dahan like this, and the yellow hair on his forehead exploded into a pile of fright.

Lu Tong threw away the broken straw mat on the bed, took out the animal skin and spread it on the kang, saying: "Stop sitting, sleep."

Erhu immediately lay down against the wall, closed his eyes and remained motionless.

Dahan shook his head and said, "I want to find a knife."

"Fuck you, three broken knives, I'll buy you another three tomorrow."

Lu Tong was also very angry.

The mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Qiancao Mountain crawled over, and they were actually pecked in the eyes by these inconspicuous little things.

For three knives, it's not worth fighting these cheap guys these days.

But if he didn't get the knife back, he couldn't swallow the bad breath.

Dahan sat on the edge of the kang, like a mountain of meat, and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, those three."

The fire in the stove is getting hotter and hotter, and the kang is getting hotter and hotter.

Lu Tong lay on the kang, closed his eyes and said, "Let's go out first to earn money, and come back to find the knife."

After speaking, he added: "Just look for those three."

……

Two days later.

Outside Hukou Pass, there was a desolate scene.

Wasteland, rocks, weeds...

Within [-] feet of the checkpoint, all kinds of trucks lined up neatly in several rows, checking and entering the checkpoint one by one.

Three hundred feet away, a completely different chaotic scene.

On both sides of the main road, various temporary buildings and tents are connected together.

Many caravans set up stalls to sell goods directly on the roadside.

Lu Tong took Dahan and Erhu for a long time to wander around.

As night fell, the last batch of caravans with number plates had entered the customs.

At eight o'clock in the evening, with the sound of a bell, a large number of people set off towards the pass.

Lu Tong followed them to the Tiger Tongue Stone outside the pass.

A very abrupt stone protruded from the ground like a tongue.

A middle-aged monk wearing an indigo robe stood on the stone and said loudly:
"Tiancang Grain Store, No. [-] Column A."

"Embroidery cloud weaving line, No. [-] column A."

"Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce, No. [-] and No. [-]."

The Chamber of Commerce's application for customs clearance has been submitted in advance.

Every time the middle-aged monk uttered a name, a person rushed over to get the number plate.

Soon, the number plates for the first day will be issued.

There are a total of one hundred, and all those who receive it are big chambers of commerce without exception.

Then came the next day, and the Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce got three more number plates.

But even that wasn't enough for them.

The Jade Vegetable Merchant Association sells all kinds of vegetables. Before the ghost fog surrounded Yunying City, there was a shortage of vegetables in the city for more than half a month.

Now no matter how many vegetables are transported into the city, they are all sold out immediately.

In addition to vegetables, melons and fruits, fresh meat, and tender fish are also in short supply.

And every day of delay, the quality will drop by one point.

Lu Tong had a premonition that there would be no peace outside the pass tonight.

In the face of naked interests, those powerful big chambers of commerce are likely to grab the number plate.

"Shuishui Caravan, No. [-], Column B."

Lu Tong heard a familiar name and looked towards the person who received the number plate.

The people in the intercepting water caravan were tall and thin, with fair skin and no eyebrows.

The hair is very long, and the long dark hair hangs straight to the ankles.

The clothes on his body are extremely close-fitting fish skin clothes, and he doesn't look like a local near Yunying City.

Half an hour later, the monk on the Tiger Tongue Stone flew away.

There are thousands of people in large chambers of commerce, small caravans, and various scattered merchants, and less than half of them have obtained number plates.

Immediately there was a noise all around:
"What to do, we don't have our number plate!"

"Wait any longer, I will almost embrace my grandson!"

"Who will receive the goods? Five carts of yellow spear grass hard paper, the high-quality material for making talisman paper, will be sold cheap if it gets wet!"

"Fifty tons of copper stone, which friend can help me bring it in, the price is negotiable."

"Damn it! My entire fortune is on this batch of goods!"

The night is cold and cold, and there are undercurrents surging among various noises.

Lu Tong clenched the iron crutch he had just replaced, and said in a low voice, "Go, get out first."

……

In the vast open space where the caravan is temporarily stationed.

Lu Tong stood on a rock, looking at the sparse lights ahead.

Dahan stood beside him, a head taller than Lutong on the stone.

He was holding the hand crossbow, where the knife hung on his belt, now there were three pots of crossbow bolts.

Dragging a long knife, Erhu sniffed his nose, touched a few hairs around his mouth and said, "Boss, something seems wrong."

"What's wrong."

Lu Tong had already noticed the abnormality, but Erhu also discovered some clues.

Erhu looked around, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just something wrong."

Lu Tong said slowly: "Aren't there fewer places where the lights are on now at dusk?"

"Yes! The sun has set, how did you put out the fire?"

"Someone couldn't help but want to do it."

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer lights.

In the end, there were only a hundred places with particularly bright lights left, which were the territory of the Great Chamber of Commerce.

A fireball exploded suddenly in the night sky, followed by screams.

"Walk."

Lu Tong jumped off the rock, with two hooves and an iron rod firmly planted on the rock, and strode towards the darkness.

Dahan and Erhu followed immediately.

Passing by a group of fighting monks and mandrills.

Lu Tong whispered: "Don't kill them, put them all down!"

After speaking, he rushed directly towards a mandrill that was biting his opponent.

Although the horse's hooves were unstable and unable to stop, they were extremely fast during the sprint.

The distance of tens of feet rushed over in an instant, Lu Tong's speed did not slow down, his right shoulder sank slightly, his right hand clenched a fist, aimed at the mandrill's back waist, and pushed it out slowly and quickly.

Sashou Fist, the ultimate move in Baina Fist.

Before the fist touched the mandrill's fur, a strong wind had already hit it, denting the flesh.

Then the fist landed on the waist, and the mandrill weighing hundreds of catties flew out of the sky.

Lu Tong staggered and stabilized his body, ready to continue shooting.

The cultivator on the opposite side put away the shield magic weapon, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow daoist! Zheng..."

Lu Tong's eyes flickered, and he walked over and punched Zheng down, pressed him to the ground and held his neck firmly, and said, "Where's the number plate?"

"You! Me, I don't have a number plate..."

Lu Tong flipped his hand and pulled out a dagger, stuck it into Zheng's buttocks, put his head to his ear and said, "Yiyezong said that killing people is not allowed, but he also said that killing people doesn't require death, just go to jail. What about the license plate?"

Beside him, Dahan knocked down a mandrill with a few cold arrows.

The two tigers also chopped down a monk who was wielding a sword and breathing fire.

Zheng struggled hard, stretched out his left hand, and there was a number plate lying inside the open palm.

"go!"

Lu Tong grabbed the number plate and immediately led Dahan and Erhu into the darkness.
